PENNSYLVANIA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2009

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Nature of Operations

Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (“PREIT” or the “Company”) prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the included disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in PREIT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2008. In management’s opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows are included. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

PREIT, a Pennsylvania business trust founded in 1960 and one of the first equity real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) in the United States, has a primary investment focus on retail shopping malls and power centers located in the eastern half of the United States, primarily in the Mid-Atlantic region. As of June 30, 2009, the Company’s portfolio consisted of a total of 56 properties in 13 states, including 38 shopping malls, 14 strip and power centers and four properties under development. The ground-up development portion of the Company’s portfolio contained four properties in two states, with two classified as “mixed-use” (a combination of retail and other uses), one classified as retail and one classified as “other.”

The Company holds its interest in its portfolio of properties through its operating partnership, PREIT Associates, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of June 30, 2009, the Company held a 94.9% interest in the Operating Partnership and consolidates it for reporting purposes. The presentation of consolidated financial statements does not itself imply that the assets of any consolidated entity (including any special-purpose entity formed for a particular project) are available to pay the liabilities of any other consolidated entity, or that the liabilities of any consolidated entity (including any special-purpose entity formed for a particular project) are obligations of any other consolidated entity.

Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, each of the limited partners has the right to redeem such partner’s units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) for cash or, at the election of the Company, the Company may acquire such OP Units for common shares of the Company on a one-for-one basis. In some cases, the right to tender OP Units for redemption begins one year following the respective issue date of the OP Units, and in other cases immediately.

The Company provides its management, leasing and real estate development services through two companies: PREIT Services, LLC (“PREIT Services”), which generally develops and manages properties that the Company consolidates for financial reporting purposes, and PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. (“PRI”), which generally develops and manages properties that the Company does not consolidate for financial reporting purposes, including properties owned by partnerships in which the Company owns an interest and properties that are owned by third parties in which the Company does not have an interest. PREIT Services and PRI are consolidated. Because PRI is a taxable REIT subsidiary as defined by federal tax laws, it is capable of offering a broad range of services to tenants without jeopardizing the Company’s continued qualification as a real estate investment trust under federal tax law.

As further described in note 2, the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented herein have been revised to reflect the effect of the Company’s adoption of FASB Staff Position APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP 14-1”) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS No. 160”).

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to various risks and uncertainties in the ordinary course of business that could have adverse impacts on its operating results and financial condition. The most significant external risks facing the Company today stem from the current downturn in the overall economy and challenging conditions in the capital and credit markets.

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is generated from leases with retail tenants. The reduction in consumer spending as a result of declining consumer confidence and increasing unemployment has negatively affected, and may continue to negatively affect, the operations of many retail companies. Beginning in the second half of 2008 and continuing into 2009, the number of retail bankruptcies and store closings has increased. Retailers also have reduced the number of store openings planned for 2009 due to these economic conditions. These conditions have caused and may continue to cause the Company’s occupancy rates, revenue and net income to decline. The Company has historically used a substantial amount of debt to finance its business, and has relied primarily on new borrowings to fund its redevelopment and development projects. The Company expects to meet certain of its current obligations to fund existing redevelopment and development projects and scheduled debt maturities through a variety of capital sources.

The Company estimates that it will require approximately $50.0 million to $55.0 million during the remainder of 2009 to fund its current redevelopment and development projects. In addition, $34.5 million of its existing consolidated debt matures during the remainder of 2009, and an additional $48.6 million, which represents the Company’s share of debt at partnership properties, matures or has matured during 2009; however, $36.2 million of the debt agreements of partnership properties contain options to extend the respective maturity dates for a period of one year, provided that there is no event of default with respect to such loans, and certain other conditions are met. With respect to $12.4 million, which represents the Company’s share of debt secured by Red Rose Commons, located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the partnership and the partners are currently engaged in discussions with the mortgage holder, following the maturity date of the loan and the initiation of foreclosure proceedings. The Company has provided a guaranty of certain recourse obligations that do not include the repayment of this indebtedness. This nonrepayment of nonrecourse indebtedness does not constitute an event of default under the Company’s Credit Facility or senior unsecured term loan.

As of June 30, 2009, $445.0 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility, which matures in March 2010. In addition, the Company pledged $3.0 million under the Credit Facility as collateral for letters of credit. The unused portion of the Credit Facility that was available to the Company on June 30, 2009 was $52.0 million.

The Company expects to satisfy its remaining 2009 capital requirements for redevelopment and development projects and debt maturities in part through borrowings under its Credit Facility, by refinancing certain mortgage loans, by additional borrowings secured by existing properties, through asset sales and operating cash flow, as well as from savings from reductions in the amount of the quarterly dividends and a reduction in general and administration expenses. However, given the continued weakness of the credit markets, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to refinance its existing debt or obtain the additional capital necessary to satisfy its obligations or requirements. Consequently, the Company also plans to seek to raise capital through selective sales of assets, including outparcels, if warranted. However, the continued weakness of the credit markets might make it more difficult for the Company to sell such assets or might adversely affect the price the Company receives for properties or parcels that it may sell, as prospective buyers might experience increased costs of debt financing or difficulties in obtaining debt financing. Similarly, while the Company may seek to sell equity securities, continued uncertainty in the capital markets may make it difficult for it to issue equity securities on terms that are favorable to it, if at all, and any such issuance might be dilutive to existing shareholders. The Company might also seek to satisfy its long-term capital requirements through the formation of joint ventures with institutional partners, private equity investors or other REITs, or through a combination of some or all of the available alternatives. The Company expects that other long-term capital requirements for which commitments have not previously been made, including any future redevelopment and development projects, renovations, expansions, property and portfolio acquisitions and other non-recurring capital improvements, may be deferred until such time as capital or financing can be obtained on terms the Company finds acceptable. A prolonged downturn in the credit markets might cause the Company to seek alternative sources of capital or financing, which could be less attractive and might require it to adjust its business plan accordingly.

 

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

FSP APB 14-1

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP 14-1, which clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon either mandatory or optional conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants.” The Company’s exchangeable notes are within the scope of FSP 14-1. The Company retrospectively applied FSP 14-1 to prior periods, and recorded the impact of the adoption of FSP 14-1 as of the issuance date of the exchangeable notes (May 2007). Pursuant to FSP 14-1, the value assigned to the debt component is the estimated fair value of a similar bond without the conversion feature, which would result in the debt being

recorded at a discount. The Company determined that the fair value of the conversion feature at the date of the issuance was $19.3 million, which was recorded as an increase to capital contributed in excess of par and a decrease to exchangeable notes in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The amount that was recorded for the conversion feature is not amortized. The debt discount is amortized as additional non-cash interest expense over the period during which the debt is expected to be outstanding. The unamortized discount on the exchangeable notes was $8.8 million and $11.4 million as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The implementation of this standard resulted in an increase to interest expense and net loss of $0.9 million and $1.7 million from amounts previously reported for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.

SFAS No. 141 R

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (rev. 2007), “Business Combinations (a revision of Statement No. 141)” (“SFAS No. 141 R”), prospectively. This statement applies to all transactions or other events in which an entity obtains control of one or more businesses, including those combinations achieved without the transfer of consideration. SFAS No. 141 R retains the fundamental requirement in SFAS No. 141 that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations. SFAS No. 141 R expands the scope to include all business combinations and requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Additionally, SFAS No. 141 R changes the way entities account for business combinations achieved in stages by requiring the identifiable assets and liabilities to be measured at fair value at the acquisition date. SFAS No. 141 R requires entities to directly expense transaction costs. The adoption of SFAS No. 141 R did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No. 160

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 160 and FASB Emerging Issues Task Force Topic No. D-98, “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities” (“EITF D-98”). The ownership interests in a subsidiary that are held by owners other than the parent are noncontrolling interests (which were previously reported on the consolidated balance sheet as “minority interest”). Under SFAS No. 160, noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. Under SFAS No. 160, such noncontrolling interests are reported on the consolidated balance sheets within equity, separately from the Company’s equity. Consolidated statements of equity are included for both quarterly and annual financial statements, including beginning balances, activity for the period and ending balances. On the consolidated statements of operations, revenue, expenses and net loss are reported at the consolidated amounts including both the amounts attributable to the Company and to noncontrolling interests.

However, in accordance with EITF D-98, securities (including those considered to be noncontrolling interests) that are redeemable for cash or other assets at the option of the holder, not solely within the control of the issuer, must be classified outside of permanent equity. The Company makes this determination based on terms in applicable agreements, specifically in relation to redemption provisions. Additionally, with respect to noncontrolling interests for which the Company has a choice to settle the contract by delivery in its own shares, the Company considered the guidance in EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock,” to evaluate whether such provisions are solely within the Company’s control. The Company has concluded that for its noncontrolling interests that allow for redemption in either cash or Company shares, all such provisions are solely within its control. As a result of its evaluation, the Company has determined that all of its noncontrolling interests qualify as permanent equity, and therefore are not subject to the classification and measurement provisions of EITF D-98.

As of June 30, 2009, the Operating Partnership’s noncontrolling interests have a redemption value of approximately $11.6 million (based on the Company’s closing common share price on the New York Stock Exchange on that date of $5.00), which represents the amount that would be paid to the Operating Partnership’s outside noncontrolling limited partners.

Also as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 160, the statement of operations captions entitled “Income (loss) before minority interest,” “Minority interest” and “Net income (loss)” are now entitled “Net income (loss),” “Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest” and “Net income (loss) attributable to PREIT,” respectively.

As of June 30, 2009, the Company has a 99.8% interest in Bala Cynwyd Associates, L.P. (“BCA”) and an option to purchase the remaining interests as described in note 3. BCA owns an office building. The Company has consolidated the assets, liabilities and results of operations of BCA in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The interest that was not owned by the Company is reflected in noncontrolling interest on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of $12,000 and $3.8 million as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

SFAS No. 161

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting.

SFAS No. 165

In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS No. 165”). SFAS No. 165 is modeled after the same principles as the subsequent event guidance in auditing literature, with some terminology changes and additional disclosures. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and is required to be applied prospectively. The Company adopted SFAS No. 165 in the second quarter of 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company evaluated subsequent events through August 10, 2009.

SFAS No. 166

In June, 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets” (“SFAS No. 166”). SFAS No. 166 amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” SFAS No. 166 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The recognition and measurement provisions of SFAS No. 166 are applied to transfers that occur on or after the effective date. The disclosure provisions of this Statement are applied to transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date of this Statement. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 166 to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

SFAS No. 167

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS No. 167”). SFAS No. 167 amends FIN 46(R) as follows: a) to require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity, identifying the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, b) to require ongoing reassessment of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, rather than only when specific events occur, c) to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest, d) to amend certain guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity, e) to add an additional reconsideration event when changes in facts and circumstances pertinent to a variable interest entity occur, f) to eliminate the exception for troubled debt restructuring regarding variable interest entity reconsideration, and g) to require advanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. SFAS No. 167 is effective for the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 167 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No. 168

In June, 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 168”). Pursuant to SFAS No. 168, on July 1, 2009, the FASB launched its Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). Pursuant to SFAS No. 168, the Codification will become the sole source of authoritative U.S. GAAP for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC, which are sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 168 to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Capitalization of Costs

Costs incurred in relation to development and redevelopment projects for interest, property taxes and insurance are capitalized only during periods in which activities necessary to prepare the property for its intended use are in progress. Costs incurred for such items after the property is substantially complete and ready for its intended use are charged to expense as incurred. Capitalized costs, as well as tenant inducement amounts and internal and external commissions, are recorded in construction in progress. The Company capitalizes a portion of development department employees’ compensation and benefits related to time spent involved in development and redevelopment projects.

The Company capitalizes payments made to obtain options to acquire real property. All other related costs that are incurred before acquisition that are expected to have ongoing value to the project are capitalized if the acquisition of the property is probable. If the property is acquired, such costs are included in the amount recorded as the initial value of the asset. Capitalized pre-acquisition costs are charged to abandoned project costs, income taxes and other expenses when it is probable that the property will not be acquired. The Company recorded abandoned project costs of $26,000 and $117,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, and 2008, respectively, and $0.2 million and $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

The Company capitalizes salaries, commissions and benefits related to time spent by leasing and legal department personnel involved in originating leases with third-party tenants.

The following table summarizes the Company’s capitalized salaries, commissions and benefits, real estate taxes and interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively.

Asset Impairment

Real estate investments and related intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property might not be recoverable. A property to be held and used is considered impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows, less estimated capital expenditures, to be generated by the property, undiscounted and without interest charges, are less than the carrying value of the property. The estimate takes into consideration factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors. In addition, these estimates may consider a probability weighted cash flow estimation approach when alternative courses of action to recover the carrying amount of a long-lived asset are under consideration or when a range of possible values is estimated.

Table of Contents

The determination of undiscounted cash flows requires significant estimates by management, including the expected course of action at the balance sheet date that would lead to such cash flows. Subsequent changes in estimated undiscounted cash flows arising from changes in anticipated action to be taken with respect to the property could impact the determination of whether an impairment exists and whether the effects could materially impact the Company’s results of operations. To the extent estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the property, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property.

The Company tests for impairment in several situations, including when current or projected cash flows from a real estate investment are significantly less than budgeted cash flows, when it becomes more likely than not that a property will be sold before the end of its previously estimated useful life, or when other events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying value might not be recoverable. In the evaluation of the impairment of the Company’s assets, the Company makes many assumptions and estimates, including:

 

   

projected cash flows, both from operations and from a hypothetical disposition;

 

   

expected useful life and holding period;

 

   

future required capital expenditures; and

 

   

fair values, including consideration of capitalization rates, discount rates and comparable selling prices.

As a preliminary indicator to determine if the carrying value of a property might not be recovered by undiscounted cash flows, the Company utilizes a five-year planning model based on existing tenants, expectations about future rental activity and expense levels. For periods beyond the five-year model, the Company assumes a 2.0% rate of growth for cash flows over the estimated useful lives of the individual properties, which is lower than the historical assumed growth rate utilized because of the current economic conditions. The Company has not identified any properties that required further consideration of property and market specific conditions or factors to determine if the property was impaired.

2009 Dispositions

In June 2009, the Company sold a land parcel adjacent to North Hanover Mall in Hanover, Pennsylvania for $2.0 million. The Company recorded a gain of $1.4 million from this sale.

In June 2009, the Company sold a land parcel adjacent to Woodland Mall in Grand Rapids, Michigan for $2.7 million. The parcel contained a department store that was subject to a ground lease. The Company recorded a gain of $0.2 million from this sale.

In May 2009, the Company sold an outparcel and related land improvements containing an operating restaurant at Monroe Marketplace in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania for $0.9 million. The Company recorded an impairment of $0.1 million immediately prior to this transaction. No gain or loss was recorded from this sale.

2008 Acquisitions

In January 2008, the Company entered into an agreement under which it acquired a 0.1% general partnership interest and a 49.8% limited partnership interest in BCA, and an option to purchase the remaining partnership interests in BCA. In June 2009, the Company acquired an additional 49.9% limited partnership interest in BCA at a second closing. A third closing is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2010 at which time the Company will acquire the remaining 0.2% limited partnership interest. BCA is the owner of One Cherry Hill Plaza, an office building located within the boundaries of the Company’s Cherry Hill Mall in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. The Company acquired its interests in BCA for $4.1 million in cash and 140,745 OP Units paid at the first and second closings. See note 7 for further discussion. The Company has consolidated BCA for financial reporting purposes.

Financing Activity

In July 2006, Lehigh Valley Associates entered into a $150.0 million mortgage loan that is secured by Lehigh Valley Mall. The Company owns an indirect 50% ownership interest in this entity. The mortgage loan had an initial term of 12 months, during which monthly payments of interest only were required. The loan bears interest at the one month LIBOR rate, reset monthly, plus a spread of 0.56%. There are three separate one-year extension options, provided that there is no event of default, that the borrower buys an interest rate cap for the term of any applicable extension and provided that certain other conditions are met, as required under the loan agreement. In August 2007, June 2008 and July 2009, the partnership that owns the mall exercised the first, second and third one-year extension options, respectively.

Impairment of Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

An other than temporary impairment of an investment in an unconsolidated partnership is recognized when the carrying value of the investment is not considered recoverable based on evaluation of the severity and duration of the decline in fair value, including the results of discounted cash flow and other valuation techniques. To the extent impairment has occurred, the excess carrying value of the asset over its estimated fair value is charged to income.

 

5. FINANCING ACTIVITY

Credit Facility

As of June 30, 2009, $445.0 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility, which expires in March 2010. The Company had pledged $3.0 million under the Credit Facility as collateral for letters of credit, and the unused portion of the Credit Facility that was available to the Company was $52.0 million at June 30, 2009. The weighted average effective interest rate based on amounts borrowed was 2.09% and 4.28% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding Credit Facility borrowings at June 30, 2009 was 1.72% (LIBOR plus 1.40%).

The amounts borrowed under the Company’s Credit Facility bear interest at a rate between 0.95% and 2.00% per annum over LIBOR based on the Company’s leverage. In determining the Company’s leverage, the capitalization rate used to calculate Gross Asset Value, as defined in the Credit Facility agreement, is 7.50%.

The Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants and requirements customarily found in facilities of this type, as detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, and which have not changed since that date. As of June 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all of these debt covenants.

Exchangeable Notes

The Company’s exchangeable notes had a balance of $205.6 million and $230.1 million (net of debt discount of $8.8 million and $11.4 million) as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Interest expense related to the exchangeable notes was $3.1 million and $3.7 million (including non-cash amortization of debt discount of $0.7 million and $0.9 million) for the three months

Table of Contents

ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $6.3 million and $7.5 million (including non-cash amortization of debt discount of $1.5 million and $1.7 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The exchangeable notes bear interest at a contractual rate of 4.00% per annum. The exchangeable notes had an effective interest rate of 4.50% for the three months ended June 30, 2009, including the impact of the debt discount amortization.

Pursuant to the exchangeable notes’ exchange settlement feature, upon surrender of the exchangeable notes for exchange, the exchangeable notes will be exchangeable for cash equal to the principal amount of the exchangeable notes and, with respect to any excess exchange value above the principal amount of the exchangeable notes, at the Company’s option, for cash, common shares of the Company or a combination of cash and common shares at an initial exchange rate of 18.303 shares per $1,000 principal amount of exchangeable notes, or $54.64 per share. The exchangeable notes will be exchangeable only under certain circumstances. Prior to maturity, the Operating Partnership may not redeem the exchangeable notes except to preserve the Company’s status as a real estate investment trust. If the Company undergoes certain change of control transactions at any time prior to maturity, holders of the exchangeable notes may require the Operating Partnership to repurchase their exchangeable notes, in whole or in part, for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the exchangeable notes to be repurchased plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued to the repurchase date, and there is a mechanism for holders to receive any excess exchange value. The indenture for the exchangeable notes does not contain any financial covenants.

As of June 30, 2009, the if-converted value of the exchangeable notes did not exceed their principal amounts because the market value of the Company’s common shares was less than $54.64, and therefore, the conversion feature of the exchangeable notes had no value.

In June 2009, the Company repurchased $25.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its exchangeable notes in exchange for 3,000,000 common shares with a fair market value of $15.0 million, resulting in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $8.5 million. In connection with the repurchase, the Company retired an aggregate of $1.4 million of deferred financing costs and debt discount.

In January 2009, the Company repurchased $2.1 million in aggregate principal amount of its exchangeable notes for $0.7 million, resulting in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.3 million. In connection with the repurchase, the Company retired an aggregate of $0.1 million of deferred financing costs and debt discount.

Based on the relationship of the consideration paid to retire the exchangeable notes and the fair value of the exchangeable notes on the date of retirement, none of the funds utilized in the repurchase were allocated to the retirement of the equity component of the exchangeable notes.

Mortgage Activity

In June 2009, the Company made a principal payment of $2.4 million and exercised its first one-year renewal option on the mortgage loan at the One Cherry Hill Plaza office building in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.

In June 2009, the Company entered into a $38.0 million mortgage loan that is secured by Lycoming Mall in Pennsdale, Pennsylvania. The outstanding principal balance on the loan as of June 30, 2009 was $28.0 million, which represented the Company’s initial draw on the loan. The mortgage loan has a fixed interest rate of 6.84% and a term of five years.

In June 2009, the Company entered into a $10.0 million construction loan that is secured by Pitney Road Plaza, a power center under development in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The initial funding of the construction loan was $4.4 million, which was the outstanding balance as of June 30, 2009. The construction loan has a variable interest rate of 2.50% over 3-month LIBOR with a floor of 5.00% during the construction period and a term of one year with a 6-month extension option for the construction loan period and an option to convert the loan to a two-year loan at the end of the construction period. The loan is interest only during the construction period.

In March 2009, the Company entered into a $16.3 million mortgage loan that is secured by New River Valley Center in Christiansburg, Virginia. The mortgage loan has a variable interest rate of 3.25% plus LIBOR with a minimum interest rate of 5.75% and a term of three years with two one-year extension options. The variable interest rate was capped to a fixed interest rate of 5.75% for the initial three-year term of the loan.

In January 2009, the Company repaid a $15.7 million mortgage loan on Palmer Park Mall in Easton, Pennsylvania.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In June 2009, the Company adopted the FASB Staff Position on SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” and APB Opinion 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” entitled “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”). FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amend SFAS No. 107 by requiring disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements and amends APB 28 by requiring disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments are based on pertinent information available to management as of the valuation date. Considerable judgement is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair values. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts at which these instruments could be purchased, sold or settled. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The Company estimates the fair value of its fixed rate debt and the credit spreads over variable market rates on its variable rate debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates or credit spreads consistent with the maturity of the debt obligation with similar credit policies. Credit spreads take into consideration general market conditions and maturity. As of June 30, 2009, the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt were $2,611.4 million and $2,298.7 million respectively. As of December 31, 2008, the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt were $2,571.8 million and $2,304.7 million respectively. The carrying value of the Company’s other financial instruments approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

6. CASH FLOW INFORMATION

Cash paid for interest was $61.6 million (net of capitalized interest of $3.3 million) and $52.3 million (net of capitalized interest of $7.4 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In connection with the acquisition of partnership interests in BCA in the first quarter of 2008, the Company consolidated an $8.0 million mortgage loan. Accrued construction expenses decreased $9.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009, representing a non-cash increase in construction in progress.

In June 2009, the Company repurchased $25.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its exchangeable notes in exchange for 3,000,000 common shares with a fair market value of $15.0 million.

In February 2008, the Company acquired a 0.1% general partner interest and a 49.8% limited partner interest in BCA for $3.9 million. In June 2009, the Company acquired an additional 49.9% of the limited partner interest in BCA for 140,745 OP Units with a value of $3.8 million as of the first closing in February 2008 and a nominal cash amount, pursuant to a put/call arrangement.

 

7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Bala Cynwyd Associates, L.P.

In January 2008, the Operating Partnership and another subsidiary of the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement with BCA, City Line Associates (“CLA”), Ronald Rubin, George Rubin, Joseph Coradino, and two other individuals to acquire all of the partnership interests in BCA. BCA entered into a tax deferred exchange agreement with the owners of One Cherry Hill Plaza, an office building located within the boundaries of the Company’s Cherry Hill Mall (the “Office Building”), to acquire title to the Office Building in exchange for an office building located in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania owned by BCA.

Ronald Rubin, George Rubin, Joseph Coradino and two other individuals (collectively, the “Individuals”) own 100% of CLA, a limited partnership that owned 50% of BCA immediately prior to closing. Each of Ronald Rubin and George Rubin owns 40.53% of the partnership interests in CLA, and Joseph Coradino owns 3.16% of the partnership interests. Immediately prior to the closing, BCA redeemed 50% of its partnership interests, which were held by a third party. At the initial closing under the Contribution Agreement and in exchange for a 0.1% general partner interest and 49.8% limited partner interest in BCA, the Company made a capital contribution to BCA of $3.9 million.

In June 2009, the Company acquired an additional 49.9% of the limited partner interest in BCA from the Individuals for 140,745 OP Units and a nominal cash amount, pursuant to a put/call arrangement. A third closing is expected to occur pursuant to a put/call agreement approximately one year after the second closing, at which time the remaining 0.2% interest in BCA will be acquired by the Company from the Individuals in exchange for 564 OP Units and a nominal cash amount. None of Ronald Rubin, George Rubin or Joseph Coradino received any consideration from the Company in connection with the first closing.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company uses interest rate swaps and caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. The Company’s outstanding derivatives have been designated as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as, and that qualify as, cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. To the extent these instruments are ineffective as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in other (expenses) income, net. The Company recognizes all derivatives at fair value as either assets or liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s derivative assets are recorded in fair value of derivative assets. The Company’s derivative liabilities are recorded in fair value of derivative liabilities.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company’s derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded no amounts associated with hedge ineffectiveness in earnings. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded a gain due to hedge ineffectiveness of $2.0 million.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss that are related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense, net as interest payments are made on the Company’s debt. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that $15.4 million would be reclassified as an increase to interest expense in connection with derivatives.

The following table summarizes the terms and fair values of the Company’s interest rate swap and cap derivative instruments at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The notional amounts provide an indication of the extent of the Company’s involvement in these instruments, but do not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision pursuant to which if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

The Company has an agreement with a derivative counterparty that incorporates the loan covenant provisions of the Company's loan agreement with a lender affiliated with the derivative counterparty. Failure to comply with the loan covenant provisions would result in the Company being in default on any derivative instrument obligations covered by the agreement.

As of June 30, 2009, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which excludes accrued interest but includes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $15.2 million. As of June 30, 2009, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company had breached any of these provisions as of June 30, 2009, it would have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value (including accrued interest) of $16.3 million. The Company has not breached any of the provisions as of June 30, 2009.

Fair Value

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements; the standard does not require any new fair value measurements of reported balances.

SFAS No. 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Currently, the Company uses interest rate swaps and caps to manage its interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs.

Table of Contents

To comply with the provisions of SFAS No. 157, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of June 30, 2009, the Company has assessed the significance of the effect of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Forward Starting Interest Rate Swaps

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company cash settled all of its forward-starting interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $400.0 million. The Company paid an aggregate of $16.5 million in cash to settle these swaps. The swaps were settled in anticipation of the Company’s issuance of long term debt. Accumulated other comprehensive loss as of June 30, 2009 includes a net loss of $13.8 million relating to forward-starting swaps that the Company has cash settled that are being amortized over 10 year periods commencing on the closing dates of the debt instruments that are associated with these settled swaps.

Interest Rate Swaps and Cap

As of June 30, 2009, the Company had entered into 12 interest rate swap agreements and one interest rate cap agreement that have a weighted average interest rate of 3.29% on a notional amount of $597.5 million maturing on various dates through November 2013.

The Company entered into these interest rate swap agreements and the cap agreement in order to hedge the interest payments associated with the Company’s 2008 issuances of variable interest rate long-term debt. The Company assessed the effectiveness of these swap agreements and cap agreement as hedges at inception and on June 30, 2009 and considered these swap agreements and cap agreement to be highly effective cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133. The Company’s interest rate swap agreements and cap agreement will be settled in cash.

The retail properties we consolidate for financial reporting purposes have a total of 30.3 million square feet, of which we own 23.8 million square feet. The retail properties that are owned by unconsolidated partnerships with third parties have a total of 4.5 million square feet, of which 2.9 million square feet are owned by such partnerships. The ground-up development portion of our portfolio contains four properties in two states, with two classified as “mixed use” (a combination of retail and other uses), one classified as retail and one classified as “other.”

Our primary business is owning and operating shopping malls and power centers. We evaluate operating results and allocate resources on a property-by-property basis, and do not distinguish or evaluate our consolidated operations on a geographic basis. No individual property constitutes more than 10% of our consolidated revenue or assets, and thus the individual properties have been aggregated into one reportable segment based upon their similarities with regard to the nature of our properties and the nature of our tenants and operational processes, as well as long-term financial performance. In addition, no single tenant accounts for 10% or more of our consolidated revenue, and none of our properties are located outside the United States.

We hold our interests in our portfolio of properties through our operating partnership, PREIT Associates, L.P. (“PREIT Associates”). We are the sole general partner of PREIT Associates and, as of June 30, 2009, held a 94.9% controlling interest in PREIT Associates. We consolidate PREIT Associates for financial reporting purposes. We hold our investments in seven of the 52 retail properties and one of the four ground-up development properties in our portfolio through unconsolidated partnerships or tenancy in common relationships with third parties in which we own a 40% to 50% interest. We hold a noncontrolling interest in each unconsolidated partnership, and account for such partnerships using the equity method of accounting. We do not control any of these equity method investees for the following reasons:

 

   

Except for two properties that we co-manage with our partner, the other entities are managed on a day-to-day basis by one of our partners as the managing general partner in each of the respective partnerships. In the case of the co-managed properties, all decisions in the ordinary course of business are made jointly.

 

   

The managing general partner is responsible for establishing the operating and capital decisions of the partnership, including budgets, in the ordinary course of business.

 

   

All major decisions of each partnership, such as the sale, refinancing, expansion or rehabilitation of the property, require the approval of all partners.

 

   

Voting rights and the sharing of profits and losses are generally in proportion to the ownership percentages of each partner.

We hold our interest in three of our unconsolidated partnerships through tenancy in common arrangements. For each of these properties, title is held by us and another person or persons, and each has an undivided interest in the property. With respect to each of the three properties, under the applicable agreements between us and the other persons with ownership interests, we and such other persons have joint control because decisions regarding matters such as the sale, refinancing, expansion or rehabilitation of the property require the approval of both us and the other person (or at least one of the other persons) owning an interest in the property. Hence, we account for each of the properties using the equity method of accounting. The balance sheet items arising from these properties appear under the caption “Investments in partnerships, at equity.” The income statement items arising from these properties appear in “Equity in income of partnerships.”

We record the earnings from the unconsolidated partnerships using the equity method of accounting under the statement of operations caption entitled “Equity in income of partnerships,” rather than consolidating the results of the unconsolidated partnerships with our results. Changes in our investments in these entities are recorded in the balance sheet caption entitled “Investment in partnerships, at equity.” In the case of deficit investment balances, such amounts are recorded in distributions in excess of partnership investments.

For further information regarding our unconsolidated partnerships, see note 4 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

We provide our management, leasing and development services through PREIT Services, LLC, which generally manages and develops properties that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes, and PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. (“PRI”), which generally manages and develops properties that we own interests in through partnerships with third parties and properties that are owned by third parties in which we do not have an interest. One of our long-term objectives is to obtain managerial control of as many of our assets as possible. Due to the nature of our existing partnership arrangements, we cannot anticipate when this objective will be achieved, if at all.

Our revenue consists primarily of fixed rental income, additional rent in the form of expense reimbursements, and percentage rent (rent that is based on a percentage of our tenants’ sales or a percentage of sales in excess of thresholds that are specified in the applicable leases) derived from our income producing retail properties. We also receive income from our real estate partnership investments and from the management and leasing services PRI provides.

Net loss was $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to net loss of $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, net loss was affected by decreased occupancy as a result of tenant bankruptcies and store closings in 2008 and 2009, increased depreciation and amortization as a result of redevelopment and development assets having been placed in service, increased interest expense as a result of a higher aggregate debt balance and properties placed in service and increased property operating expenses compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008. The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2009 included gain on extinguishment of debt of $8.5 million and gains on the sales of real estate of $1.7 million. The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2008 included a gain from hedging activities of $2.0 million.

Net loss was $15.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to net loss of $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net loss was affected by decreased revenue and occupancy as a result of tenant bankruptcies and store closings in 2008 and 2009, increased depreciation and amortization as a result of redevelopment and development assets having been placed in service, increased interest expense as a result of a higher aggregate debt balance and properties placed in service and increased property operating expenses compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 included gain on extinguishment of debt of $9.8 million and gains on the sales of real estate of $1.7 million. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 included a gain from hedging activities of $2.0 million.

CURRENT ECONOMIC DOWNTURN

We are subject to various risks and uncertainties in the ordinary course of business that could have adverse effects on our operating results and financial condition. The most significant external risks facing us today stem from the current downturn in the overall economy and challenging conditions in the capital and credit markets.

Substantially all of our revenue is generated from leases with retail tenants. The reduction in consumer spending as a result of declining consumer confidence and increasing unemployment has negatively affected, and might continue to negatively affect, the operations of many retail companies. Beginning in the second half of 2008 and continuing in 2009, the number of retail bankruptcies and store closings has increased. Retailers also have reduced the number of store openings planned for 2009 due to these economic conditions. These conditions have caused, and might continue to cause, our occupancy rates, revenue and net income to decline.

ACQUISITIONS, DISPOSITIONS, REDEVELOPMENT AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

We record our acquisitions based on estimates of fair value, as determined by management, based on information available and on assumptions about future performance. These allocations are subject to revisions, in accordance with GAAP, during the twelve month periods following the closings of the respective acquisitions.

Acquisitions

In February 2008, we acquired a 49.9% ownership interest in Bala Cynwyd Associates, L.P., which owns One Cherry Hill Plaza, an office building located within the boundaries of our Cherry Hill Mall in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. In June 2009, we acquired an additional 49.9% ownership interest. See “Related Party Transactions” for further information about this transaction.

Dispositions

In June 2009, we sold a land parcel adjacent to North Hanover Mall in Hanover, Pennsylvania for $2.0 million. We recorded a gain of $1.4 million from this sale.

In June 2009, we sold a land parcel adjacent to Woodland Mall in Grand Rapids, Michigan for $2.7 million. The parcel contained a department store that was subject to a ground lease. We recorded a gain of $0.2 million from this sale.

In May 2009, we sold an outparcel and related land improvements containing an operating restaurant at Monroe Marketplace in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania for $0.9 million. We recorded impairment of $0.1 million immediately prior to this transaction. No gain or loss was recorded from this sale.

Redevelopment and Development

We are engaged in the redevelopment of five of our consolidated properties. We might undertake redevelopment projects at additional properties in the future. These projects might include the introduction of residential, office or other uses to our properties. As of June 30, 2009, we had incurred $451.9 million of costs related to these five redevelopment properties. The costs identified to date to complete these projects, net of tenant reimbursement and tax credits, are expected to be approximately $40.1 million in the aggregate.

The following table sets forth the amount of our estimated total cost and the amounts invested as of June 30, 2009 in each redevelopment project:

 

Redevelopment Project

   Estimated Project
Cost (1)
   Invested as of
June 30, 2009

Cherry Hill Mall

   $ 218.0 million    $ 206.0 million

Plymouth Meeting Mall

     96.6 million      89.9 million

The Gallery at Market East

     81.6 million      85.2 million

   $ 492.0 million    $ 451.9 million

The estimated project cost is net of any expected tenant reimbursements, parcel sales, tax credits or other incentives.

We are engaged in the ground-up development of four retail and other mixed use projects that we believe meet the financial hurdles that we apply, given economic, market and other circumstances, although we do not expect to make material investments in these projects in the short term. As of June 30, 2009, we had incurred $88.7 million of costs related to these ground-up projects. We will evaluate the financing opportunities available to us at the time a project requires funding. In cases where the project is undertaken with a partner, our flexibility in funding the project might be restricted by the partnership agreement or the covenants contained in our Credit Facility, which limit our involvement or flexibility in such projects. We also own and manage one property that is now operating while some remaining development takes place.

We generally seek to develop these projects in areas that we believe evidence the likelihood of supporting additional retail development and have desirable population or income trends, and where we believe the projects have the potential for strong competitive positions. We will consider other uses of a property that would have synergies with our retail development and redevelopment based on several factors, including local demographics, market demand for other uses such as residential and office, and applicable land use regulations. We generally have several development projects under way at one time. These projects are typically in various stages of the development process. We manage all aspects of these undertakings, including market and trade area research, site selection, acquisition, preliminary development work, construction and leasing. We monitor our developments closely, including costs and tenant interest.

In connection with the redevelopment and the ground-up development projects listed above and other projects ongoing at our other properties, we have made contractual and other commitments in the form of tenant allowances, lease termination amounts and contracts with general contractors and other professional service providers. As of June 30, 2009, the unaccrued remainder to be paid against these contractual and other commitments was $24.7 million. The projects on which these commitments have been made have total expected remaining costs of $67.6 million. While we expect that the expenditures related to our redevelopment and development projects listed in this report will continue over the next several quarters, we believe that our construction in progress balance has peaked. Construction in progress represents the aggregate expenditures on projects less amounts placed in service. Generally, assets are placed in service upon substantial completion or when tenants begin occupancy and rent payments commence.

Continued uncertainty in the credit markets might negatively affect our ability to access additional debt financing on reasonable terms, or at all, which might negatively affect our ability to fund our redevelopment and development projects and other business initiatives. A continued prolonged downturn in the credit markets might cause us to seek alternative sources of capital or financing, which could be less attractive and might require us to adjust our business plan accordingly. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no material off-balance sheet items other than the partnerships described in note 4 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements and in the “Overview” section above.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Bala Cynwyd Associates, L.P.

In January 2008, PREIT Associates and another subsidiary of PREIT entered into a Contribution Agreement with Bala Cynwyd Associates, L.P. (“BCA”), City Line Associates (“CLA”), Ronald Rubin, George Rubin, Joseph Coradino, and two other individuals to acquire all of the partnership interests in BCA. BCA entered into a tax deferred exchange agreement with the owners of One Cherry Hill Plaza, an office building located within the boundaries of our Cherry Hill Mall (the “Office Building”), to acquire title to the Office Building in exchange for an office building located in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania owned by BCA.

Ronald Rubin, George Rubin, Joseph Coradino and two other individuals (collectively, the “Individuals”) own 100% of CLA, a limited partnership that owned 50% of BCA immediately prior to closing. Each of Ronald Rubin and George Rubin owns 40.53% of the partnership interests in CLA, and Joseph Coradino owns 3.16% of the partnership interests. Immediately prior to the closing, BCA redeemed 50% of its partnership interests, which were held by a third party. At the initial closing under the Contribution Agreement and in exchange for a 0.1% general partner interest and 49.8% limited partner interest in BCA, we made a capital contribution to BCA in an approximate amount of $3.9 million.

In June 2009, a second closing occurred in which we acquired an additional 49.9% of the limited partner interest in BCA from the Individuals for 140,745 OP Units and a nominal cash amount. A third closing is expected to occur pursuant to a put/call agreement

approximately one year after the second closing, at which time we will acquire the remaining interest in BCA from the Individuals in exchange for 564 OP Units and a nominal cash amount. None of Ronald Rubin, George Rubin or Joseph Coradino received any consideration from us in connection with the first closing.

The acquisition of the Office Building was financed in part by a mortgage loan with a principal amount of $8.0 million.

PREIT and PREIT Associates have agreed to provide tax protection to the Individuals in connection with taxes arising from a sale of the Office Building during the eight years following the initial closing.

In accordance with our related party transactions policy, a special committee consisting exclusively of independent members of our Board of Trustees considered and approved the terms of this transaction. The approval was subject to final approval of our Board of Trustees, and the disinterested members of our Board of Trustees approved the transaction.

Other

PRI provides management, leasing and development services for eight properties owned by partnerships and other entities in which certain officers or trustees of the Company and of PRI or members of their immediate families and affiliated entities have indirect ownership interests. Total revenue earned by PRI for such services was $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $0.4 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

We lease our principal executive offices from Bellevue Associates (the “Landlord”). Ronald Rubin and George F. Rubin, collectively with members of their immediate families and affiliated entities, own approximately a 50% interest in the Landlord. The office lease has a 10 year term that commenced on November 1, 2004. Our base rent is $1.4 million per year during the first five years of the office lease and $1.5 million per year during the second five years. Total rent expense under this lease was $0.4 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, and $0.8 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

We use an airplane in which Ronald Rubin owns a fractional interest. We did not incur any expenses in the first six months of 2009 for this service. We paid $40,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2008, and $94,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2008 for flight time used by employees on Company-related business.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Critical accounting policies are those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. In preparing the financial statements, management has utilized available information, including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming its estimates and judgments, giving due consideration to materiality. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.

Our management makes complex or subjective assumptions and judgments in connection with applying its critical accounting policies. In making these judgments and assumptions, management considers, among other factors:

 

   

events and changes in property, market and economic conditions;

 

   

estimated future cash flows from property operations; and

 

   

the risk of loss on specific accounts or amounts.

The estimates and assumptions made by management in applying critical accounting policies have not changed materially during 2009 and 2008, and none of these estimates or assumptions have proven to be materially incorrect or resulted in our recording any significant adjustments relating to prior periods. We will continue to monitor the key factors underlying our estimates and judgments, but no change is currently expected. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, as amended, for a summary of the accounting policies that management believes are critical to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Asset Impairment

Real estate investments and related intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property might not be recoverable. A property to be held and used is considered impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows, less estimated capital expenditures, to be generated by the property, undiscounted and without interest charges, are less than the carrying value of the property. The estimate takes into consideration factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition, and other factors. In addition, these estimates may consider a probability weighted cash flow estimation approach when alternative courses of action to recover the carrying amount of a long-lived asset are under consideration or when a range of possible values is estimated.

The determination of undiscounted cash flows requires significant estimates by management, including the expected course of action at the balance sheet date that would lead to such cash flows. Subsequent changes in estimated undiscounted cash flows arising from changes in anticipated action to be taken with respect to the property could impact the determination of whether an impairment exists and whether the effects could materially impact our net income. To the extent estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the property, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property.

We test for impairment in several situations, including when current or projected cash flows from a real estate investment are significantly less than budgeted cash flows, when it becomes more likely than not that a property will be sold before the end of its previously estimated useful life, or when other events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying value might not be recoverable. In the evaluation of the impairment of our assets, we make many assumptions and estimates, including:

 

   

projected cash flows, both from operations and from a hypothetical disposition;

 

   

expected useful life and holding period;

 

   

future required capital expenditures; and

 

   

fair values, including consideration of capitalization rates, discount rates and comparable selling prices.

As a preliminary indicator to determine if the carrying value of a property might not be recovered by undiscounted cash flows as of June 30, 2009, we utilized a five-year planning model based on existing tenants, expectations about future rental activity and expense levels. For periods beyond the five-year model, we assumed a 2.0% rate of growth for cash flows over the estimated useful lives of the individual properties, which is lower than the historical assumed growth rate utilized because of the current economic conditions. As a result of this test, we did not identify any properties that required further consideration of property and market specific conditions or factors to determine if the property was impaired.

An other than temporary impairment of an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture is recognized when the carrying value of the investment is not considered recoverable based on evaluation of the severity and duration of the decline in fair value, including the results of discounted cash flow and other valuation techniques. To the extent impairment has occurred, the excess carrying value of the asset over its estimated fair value is charged to income.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008

Overview

Our results in recent periods have been significantly affected by challenging conditions in the economy and by ongoing redevelopment initiatives that were in various stages at several of our consolidated mall properties. While we might undertake a redevelopment project to maximize the long-term performance of the property, in the short term, the operations and performance of the property, as measured by occupancy and net operating income, can be negatively affected by the project. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, net loss was affected by decreased occupancy as a result of tenant bankruptcies and store closings in 2008 and 2009, increased depreciation and amortization as a result of development and redevelopment assets having been placed in service, increased interest expense primarily as a result of a higher aggregate debt balance and properties placed in service and increased property operating expenses compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 included gains on extinguishment of debt and gains on sales of real estate.

Revenue

Real estate revenue increased by $0.7 million, or 1%, in the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008. Real estate revenue increased $0.9 million from one property that was under development during 2008 that is now placed in service. Real estate revenue from properties that were owned by us prior to April 1, 2008 decreased by $0.2 million,

 

27


Table of Contents

primarily due to decreases of $0.5 million in lease termination revenue, $0.3 million in percentage rent and $0.1 million in other revenue. These decreases were partially offset by increases of $0.4 million in base rent, which is comprised of minimum rent, straight line rent and rent from tenants that pay a percentage of sales in lieu of minimum rent, and $0.3 million in expense reimbursements.

Lease termination revenue decreased by $0.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008 primarily due to amounts received from one tenant in the prior period. Percentage rent decreased by $0.3 million due to a decrease in tenant sales compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease was also partially due to a trend in certain leases toward slightly higher minimum rent and higher thresholds at which percentage rent begins. Other revenue decreased by $0.1 million, primarily due to a $0.3 million decrease in marketing revenue, partially offset by a $0.2 million timing variance in seasonal photo commissions. The decrease in marketing revenue was offset by a corresponding $0.3 million decrease in marketing expense. Marketing revenue is generally recognized in tandem with marketing expense.

Base rent increased by $0.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008. Base rent at Voorhees Town Center and Cherry Hill Mall, two of our current redevelopment projects, increased by $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, due to increased occupancy from newly opened tenants. Base rent at Sunrise Plaza, a ground-up development project that opened in October 2007, increased by $0.2 million due to increased occupancy from newly opened tenants. Base rent was also affected by a $0.8 million increase in above/below market lease amortization. Partially offsetting these increases, base rent decreased by $1.7 million due to 67 store closings and liquidations associated with tenant bankruptcy filings during 2008 and 2009. As of June 30, 2009, 12 of the 67 stores have been leased to new tenants. Expense reimbursements increased by $0.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008, primarily due to increases in common area maintenance expense and real estate tax expense as discussed below under “Property Operating Expenses.”

Interest and other income decreased by $0.5 million, or 50%, in the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008, due to lower interest rates on excess cash investments and non-recurring development fees recorded in 2008.

The Company derived a portion of its interest income from a loan to one of its anchor tenants, Boscov’s, Inc., that had a balance of $10.0 million as of June 30, 2009. The loan bears interest at a rate of 18% per annum, of which 10% per annum is payable monthly, and the remaining interest amount and the principal amount are due upon the maturity of the loan in June 2012. The loan was made as part of the financing of Boscov’s following its bankruptcy filing in 2008.

Real estate revenue decreased by $1.3 million, or 1%, in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. Real estate revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2009 was significantly affected by tenant bankruptcies and store closings, resulting in lower occupancy and expense reimbursements and higher bad debt expense compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. Real estate revenue from properties that were owned by us prior to January 1, 2008 decreased by $3.2 million, primarily due to decreases of $1.0 million in percentage rent, $1.0 in lease termination revenue, $0.9 million in base rent, which is comprised of minimum rent, straight line rent and rent from tenants that pay a percentage of sales in lieu of minimum rent and $0.5 million in other revenue. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $0.2 million in expense reimbursements. Real estate revenue from one property that was under development during 2008 that is now placed in service increased by $1.8 million and real estate revenue from One Cherry Hill Plaza (office building acquired in February 2008) increased by $0.1 million.

Percentage rent decreased by $1.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008 due in part to a decrease in tenant sales. This decrease was also partially due to a trend in certain leases toward slightly higher minimum rent and higher thresholds at which percentage rent begins. Lease termination revenue decreased by $1.0 million, primarily due to $1.4 million received from one tenant in the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Base rent decreased by $0.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. Base rent decreased by $3.1 million due to 67 store closings and liquidations associated with tenant bankruptcy filings during 2008 and 2009. As of June 30, 2009, 12 of the 67 stores have been leased to new tenants. Partially offsetting these decreases, base rent at Voorhees Town Center and Plymouth Meeting Mall, two of our current redevelopment projects, increased by $1.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, due to increased occupancy from newly opened tenants. Base rent was also affected by a $0.7 million increase in above/below market lease amortization. Other revenue decreased by $0.5 million, primarily due to a $0.4 million decrease in marketing revenue. The decrease in marketing revenue was offset by a corresponding $0.4 million decrease in marketing expense. Marketing revenue is generally recognized in tandem with marketing expense.

Partially offsetting these decreases, expense reimbursements increased by $0.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008, primarily due to increases in common area maintenance expense and real estate tax expense as discussed below under Property Operating Expenses. At many of our malls, we have continued to recover a lower proportion of common area maintenance and real estate tax expenses. In addition to being affected by store closings and lower occupancy, our properties are experiencing a trend towards more gross leases (leases that provide that tenants pay a higher base rent amount in lieu of contributing toward common area maintenance costs and real estate taxes) as well as more leases that provide for the rent amount to be determined on the basis of a percentage of sales in lieu of minimum rent, and they are experiencing rental concessions made to tenants affected by the redevelopment activities and to tenants experiencing financial difficulties, and by conditions in the economy. We expect the lower recovery rates at the redevelopment properties to improve as construction is completed, tenants take occupancy and our leasing leverage improves, and as conditions in the economy improve.

Interest and other income decreased by $1.0 million, or 44%, in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008, due to lower interest rates on excess cash investments and non-recurring development fees recorded in 2008.

Property Operating Expenses

Property operating expenses increased by $1.5 million, or 3%, in the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008. Property operating expenses from properties that were owned by us prior to April 1, 2008 increased by $1.3 million, primarily due to a $0.9 million increase in real estate tax expense, a $0.4 million increase in common area maintenance expense and a $0.4 million increase in other property operating expenses. These increases were partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in non-common area utility expense. Property operating expenses increased $0.2 million from one property that was under development during 2008 that is now placed in service.

Real estate tax expense increased by $0.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008, primarily due to higher tax rates in the jurisdictions where properties are located and increased property assessments at some of our properties. Common area maintenance expense increased by $0.4 million, primarily due to increases of $0.2 million in repairs and maintenance expense and $0.2 million in loss prevention expense. These increases were due primarily to stipulated annual contractual increases. Other property operating expenses increased by $0.4 million, primarily due to a $0.9 million increase in bad debt expense, partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in marketing expense. The increase in bad debt expense was affected by $0.5 million associated with four tenant bankruptcy filings during the three months ended June 30, 2009. Partially offsetting these increases was a $0.4 million decrease in non-common area utility expense, including a $0.2 million decrease at Cherry Hill Mall due to a combination of lower utility rates and lower consumption resulting from newly installed equipment.

Property operating expenses increased by $3.8 million, or 4%, in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. Property operating expenses from properties that were owned by us prior to January 1, 2008 increased by $3.1 million, primarily due to a $1.5 million increase in common area maintenance expense, a $1.5 million increase in real estate tax expense and a $0.6 million increase in other property operating expenses. These increases were partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in non-common area utility expense. Property operating expenses increased $0.5 million from one property under development during 2008 that is now placed in service and $0.2 million from a property we acquired in February 2008.

Common area maintenance expense increased by $1.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 primarily due to increases of $0.5 million in snow removal expense, $0.5 million in repairs and maintenance expense and $0.4 million in loss prevention expense. Snowfall amounts at our properties located in Pennsylvania and New Jersey increased during the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. Repairs and maintenance expense and loss prevention expense increased due primarily to stipulated annual contractual increases. Real estate tax expense increased by $1.5 million primarily due to higher tax rates in the jurisdictions where properties are located and increased property assessments at some of our properties. Other property operating expenses increased by $0.6 million, primarily due to a $1.3 million increase in bad debt expense, partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in marketing expense, a $0.1 million decrease in legal fee expense and a $0.1 million decrease in non-common area maintenance expense. The increase in bad debt expense was affected by $0.6 million associated with seven tenant bankruptcy filings during the six months ended June 30, 2009. Partially offsetting these increases was a $0.5 million decrease in non-common area utility expense, including a $0.4 million decrease at Cherry Hill Mall due to a combination of lower utility rates and lower consumption resulting from newly installed equipment.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $4.3 million, or 11%, in the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008. Depreciation and amortization expense from properties that we owned prior to April 1, 2008 increased by $3.9 million, primarily due to a higher asset base resulting from capital improvements at our properties, particularly at properties where we have recently completed redevelopments and that are now placed in service. We placed assets with an aggregate cost basis of $278.1 million in service from June 30, 2008 to June 30, 2009. Depreciation and amortization increased $0.4 million from one property that was under development during 2008 that is now placed in service.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $7.9 million, or 11%, in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. Depreciation and amortization expense from properties that we owned prior to January 1, 2008 increased by $7.2 million, primarily due to a higher asset base resulting from capital improvements at our properties, particularly at properties where we have recently completed redevelopments and that are now placed in service. Depreciation and amortization increased $0.8 million from one property under development during 2008 that is now placed in service and decreased $0.1 million from One Cherry Hill Plaza (acquired February 2008).

General and Administrative Expenses, Abandoned Project Costs, Income Taxes and Other Expenses

General and administrative expenses, abandoned project costs, income taxes and other expenses decreased by $1.8 million, or 16%, in the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease was due in part to a $0.6 million decrease in compensation costs, due to a reduction in headcount and lower incentive compensation costs. Other general and administrative expenses decreased by $1.2 million primarily due to lower convention expenses, travel costs, and professional fees.

General and administrative expenses, abandoned project costs, income taxes and other expenses decreased by $3.8 million, or 17%, in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease was due in part to a $1.7 million decrease in abandoned project costs. This decrease was also driven by a $1.2 million decrease in compensation costs, due to a reduction in headcount and lower incentive compensation costs. Other general and administrative expenses decreased by $0.9 million, primarily due to lower convention expenses, travel costs, and function expenses.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $7.2 million, or 27%, in the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008. This increase resulted in part from a higher aggregate debt balance. In addition, we placed assets with an aggregate cost basis of $278.1 million in service from June 30, 2008 to June 30, 2009. Interest on these assets was capitalized during construction periods and was expensed during periods after the improvements were placed in service. Also, interest expense in the three months ended June 30, 2008 was reduced by $2.0 million resulting from gains from hedging activities.

Interest expense increased by $11.7 million, or 18%, in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. This increase resulted in part from a higher aggregate debt balance and assets placed in service in the past twelve months as stated above. Also, interest expense in the six months ended June 30, 2008 was reduced by $2.0 million resulting from a gain from hedging activities.

Gain on Extinguishment of Debt

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we repurchased a total of $27.1 million in aggregate principal amount of our exchangeable notes in privately-negotiated transactions for an aggregate purchase price of $0.7 million in cash and 3.0 million shares, which resulted in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $9.8 million. In connection with the repurchases, we retired an aggregate of $1.1 million of deferred financing costs and debt discount.

Equity in Income of Partnerships

Equity in income of partnerships increased by $0.5 million, or 26%, for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase was primarily due to a $1.2 million decrease in mortgage interest expense offset by a $0.7 million decrease in revenue.

Table of Contents

Equity in income of partnerships increased by $1.6 million, or 45%, for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase was primarily due to a $2.0 million decrease in interest expense offset by a $0.4 million increase in property operating expenses.

NET OPERATING INCOME

Net operating income (a non-GAAP measure) is derived from real estate revenue (determined in accordance with GAAP) minus property operating expenses (determined in accordance with GAAP). It does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity; nor is it indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. We believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measurement to net operating income. We believe that net operating income is helpful to management and investors as a measure of operating performance because it is an indicator of the return on property investment, and provides a method of comparing property performance over time. Net operating income excludes management company revenue, interest income, general and administrative expenses, abandoned project costs, income taxes and other expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, gains on sales of interests in real estate, gains on sales of non-operating real estate and gain on extinguishment of debt.

The following table presents net operating income results for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. The results are presented using the “proportionate-consolidation method” (a non-GAAP measure), which presents our share of the results of our partnership investments. Under GAAP, we account for our noncontrolling partnership investments under the equity method of accounting. Property operating results for retail properties that we owned for the full periods presented (“Same Store”) exclude properties acquired or disposed of or that were placed into service during the periods presented:

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines Funds From Operations, which is a non-GAAP measure, as income before gains and losses on sales of operating properties and extraordinary items (computed in accordance with GAAP); plus real estate depreciation; plus or minus adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. We compute Funds From Operations by taking the amount determined pursuant to the NAREIT definition and subtracting dividends on preferred shares (“FFO”) (for periods during which we had preferred shares outstanding).

 

32


Table of Contents

Funds From Operations is a commonly used measure of operating performance and profitability in the real estate industry, and we use FFO and FFO per diluted share and OP Unit as supplemental non-GAAP measures to compare our Company’s performance for different periods to that of our industry peers. Similarly, FFO per diluted share and OP Unit is a useful measure because it reflects the dilutive impact of outstanding convertible securities. In addition, we use FFO and FFO per diluted share and OP Unit as one of the performance measures for determining incentive compensation amounts earned under certain of our performance-based executive compensation programs. We compute Funds From Operations in accordance with standards established by NAREIT, less dividends on preferred shares (for periods during which we had preferred shares outstanding), which may not be comparable to Funds From Operations reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition, or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

FFO does not include gains and losses on sales of operating real estate assets, which are included in the determination of net income in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, FFO is not a comprehensive measure of our operating cash flows. In addition, since FFO does not include depreciation on real estate assets, FFO may not be a useful performance measure when comparing our operating performance to that of other non-real estate commercial enterprises. We compensate for these limitations by using FFO in conjunction with other GAAP financial performance measures, such as net income and net cash provided by operating activities, and other non-GAAP financial performance measures, such as net operating income. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.

We believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measurement to FFO. We believe that FFO is helpful to management and investors as a measure of operating performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, such as various non-recurring items that are considered extraordinary under GAAP, gains on sales of operating real estate and depreciation and amortization of real estate.

FFO was $37.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $3.0 million, or 9%, compared to $34.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. FFO per diluted share increased $0.06 per diluted share to $0.91 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $0.85 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

FFO was $67.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 2%, compared to $68.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. FFO per diluted share decreased $0.05 per diluted share to $1.63 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $1.68 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

The shares used to calculate FFO per diluted share include common shares and OP Units not held by us. FFO per diluted share also includes the effect of common share equivalents.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

This “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section contains certain “forward-looking statements” that relate to expectations and projections that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views about our future liquidity and capital resources, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that might cause our actual liquidity and capital resources to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Additional factors that might affect our liquidity and capital resources include those discussed in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements about our liquidity and capital resources to reflect new information, future events or otherwise.

Capital Resources

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements, including distributions to shareholders, recurring capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions, but excluding development and redevelopment projects, generally through our available working capital and net cash provided by operations. We believe that our net cash provided by operations will be sufficient to allow us to make any distributions necessary to enable us to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of

The aggregate distributions made to common shareholders and OP Unitholders in the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $18.6 million, following two reductions in the amount of our quarterly dividend. The following are some of the factors that could affect our cash flows and require the funding of future distributions, recurring capital expenditures, tenant improvements or leasing commissions with sources other than operating cash flows:

 

   

adverse changes or continued prolonged downturns in general, local or retail industry economic, financial, credit market or competitive conditions, leading to a reduction in real estate revenue or cash flows or an increase in expenses;

 

   

continued deterioration in our tenants’ business operations and financial stability, including additional tenant bankruptcies, leasing delays or terminations, or lower sales, causing deferrals or declines in rent, percentage rent and cash flows;

 

   

inability to achieve targets for, or decreases in, property occupancy and rental rates, or higher costs or delays in completion of our development and redevelopment projects, resulting in lower or deferred real estate revenue and operating income;

 

   

increases in interest rates or higher debt balances resulting in higher borrowing costs; and

 

   

increases in operating costs that cannot be passed on to tenants, resulting in reduced operating income and cash flows.

We have historically used a substantial amount of debt to finance our business, and we have relied primarily on new borrowings to fund our redevelopment and development projects. We expect to meet certain of our current obligations to fund existing redevelopment and development projects and scheduled debt maturities through a variety of capital sources. We estimate that we will require approximately $50.0 million to $55.0 million during the remainder of 2009 to fund our current redevelopment and development projects. In addition, $34.5 million of our existing consolidated debt matures during the remainder of 2009. An additional $48.6 million, which represents our share of debt at partnership properties, matures or has matured during 2009; however, $36.2 million of the debt agreements at partnership properties contains options to extend the respective maturity dates for a period of one year, provided that there is no event of default with respect to such loans, and certain other conditions are met. With respect to our $12.4 million share of debt secured by Red Rose Commons, located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the partnership and the partners are currently engaged in discussions with the mortgage holder, following the maturity date of the loan and the initiation of foreclosure proceedings.

As of June 30, 2009, $445.0 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility, which matures in March 2010. In addition, we pledged $3.0 million under the Credit Facility as collateral for letters of credit. The unused portion of the Credit Facility that was available to us on June 30, 2009 was $52.0 million.

We expect to satisfy our remaining 2009 capital requirements for redevelopment and development projects and debt maturities in part through borrowings under our Credit Facility, by refinancing certain mortgage loans, by additional borrowings secured by existing properties, through asset sales and operating cash flow, as well as from savings from reductions in the amount of the quarterly dividends and a reduction in general and administrative expenses. However, given the continued weakness of the credit markets, there is no assurance that we will be able to refinance our existing debt or obtain the additional capital necessary to satisfy our obligations or requirements. Consequently, we also plan to seek to raise capital through selective sales of assets, including outparcels, if warranted. However, the continued weakness of the credit markets might make it more difficult for us to sell such assets or might adversely affect the price we receive for properties or parcels that we may sell, as prospective buyers might experience increased costs of debt financing or difficulties in obtaining debt financing. Similarly, while we may seek to sell equity securities, continued uncertainty in the capital markets may make it difficult for us to issue equity securities on terms that are favorable to us, if at all, and any such issuance might be dilutive to existing shareholders. We might also seek to satisfy our long-term capital requirements through the formation of joint ventures with institutional partners, private equity investors or other REITs, or through a combination of some or all of the available alternatives. We expect that other long-term capital requirements for which commitments have not previously been made, including any future redevelopment and development projects, renovations, expansions, property and portfolio acquisitions and other non-recurring capital improvements, may be deferred until such time as capital or financing can be obtained on terms we find acceptable. A prolonged downturn in the credit markets might cause us to seek alternative sources of capital or financing, which could be less attractive and might require us to adjust our business plan accordingly.

We may use our $1.0 billion universal shelf registration statement to offer and sell common shares of beneficial interest, preferred shares and various types of debt securities, among other types of securities, to the public. However, we may be unable to issue securities under the shelf registration statement, or otherwise, on terms that are favorable to us, if at all.

Credit Facility

The amounts borrowed under our $500.0 million Credit Facility bear interest at a rate between 0.95% and 2.00% per annum over LIBOR based on our leverage. In determining our leverage, the capitalization rate used to calculate Gross Asset Value is 7.50%. In the determination of the Company’s Gross Asset Value, when we complete the redevelopment or development of a property and it is Placed in Service, the amount of Construction in Progress of such property included in Gross Asset Value is gradually reduced over a four quarter period.

The availability of funds under the Credit Facility is subject to our compliance with financial and other covenants and agreements. In October 2008, we exercised an option to extend the term of the Credit Facility to March 2010.

The following are some of the potential impediments to accessing additional funds under the Credit Facility:

 

   

constraining leverage, interest and fixed charge coverage and debt yield covenants under the Credit Facility;

 

   

reduction in our net operating income or increased indebtedness affecting leverage ratios.

 

   

increased interest rates affecting coverage ratios;

 

   

reduction in our consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) affecting coverage ratios; and

The weighted average effective interest rate based on amounts borrowed was 2.09% for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding Credit Facility borrowings at June 30, 2009 was 1.72%.

We must repay the entire principal amount outstanding under the Credit Facility at the end of its term. We may prepay any revolving loan at any time without premium or penalty. Accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount under the Credit Facility is payable monthly, and any unpaid amount is payable at the end of the term. The Credit Facility has a facility fee of 0.15% to 0.25% per annum of the total commitments, depending on our leverage and without regard to usage. The Credit Facility contains lender yield protection provisions related to LIBOR loans. We and certain of our subsidiaries are guarantors of the obligations arising under the Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants and requirements customarily found in facilities of this type, as detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, and which have not changed since that date. As of June 30, 2009, we were in compliance with all of these covenants. The financial covenants under the Credit Facility require, among other things, that our leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Facility, be less than 65%, provided that this leverage ratio can be exceeded for one period of two consecutive quarters, but may not exceed 70%, and that we meet certain other debt yield, interest coverage and fixed charge ratios. Compliance with each of these ratios is dependent upon our financial performance. The leverage ratio is based, in part, on applying a capitalization rate to our net operating income. Based on this calculation method, decreases in net operating income would result in an increased leverage ratio, even if overall debt levels remain constant. The leverage ratio approached but did not exceed 65% at the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2009. To avoid a breach of the leverage ratio or other covenants, we might be required to curtail our capital spending, sell assets, further reduce our cash dividend, reduce debt levels, enter into joint ventures or seek to raise additional equity capital.

Upon the expiration of any applicable cure period following an event of default, the lenders may declare all of our obligations in connection with the Credit Facility immediately due and payable, and the commitments of the lenders to make further loans under the Credit Facility will terminate. Upon the occurrence of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding of the Company, PREIT Associates, PRI or any material subsidiary, all outstanding amounts will automatically become immediately due and payable and the commitments of the lenders to make further loans will automatically terminate.

We are engaged in discussions with our lead bank to address the upcoming maturity of our Credit Facility and our Senior Unsecured Term Loan.

Senior Unsecured Term Loan

In September 2008, we borrowed an aggregate of $170.0 million under our senior unsecured term loan agreement with a stated interest rate of 2.50% above LIBOR. Also in September 2008, we swapped the floating interest rate on $130.0 million of the term loan balance to a fixed rate of 5.33%, effective October 1, 2008. In October 2008, we swapped the floating interest rate on the remaining $40.0 million of the term loan balance to a fixed rate of 5.15%. The weighted average effective interest rate for the three months ended June 30, 2009 based on amounts borrowed was 5.86%. The weighted average interest rate on amounts outstanding at June 30, 2009 was 5.29%.

Exchangeable Notes

In May 2007, we, through PREIT Associates, completed the sale of $287.5 million aggregate principal amount of exchangeable notes due 2012 (“Exchangeable Notes”). The net proceeds from the offering of $281.0 million were used for the repayment of indebtedness under our Credit Facility, the cost of the related capped call transactions, and for other general corporate purposes. The Exchangeable Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of PREIT Associates and rank equally in right of payment with all other senior unsecured indebtedness of PREIT Associates. PREIT Associates’ obligations under the Exchangeable Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. We have repurchased $73.1 million in aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes, and there was $214.4 million outstanding as of June 30, 2009.

Mortgage Activity

In June 2009, we made a principal payment of $2.4 million and exercised the first one-year renewal option on the mortgage at One Cherry Hill Plaza in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.

In June 2009, we entered into a $38.0 million mortgage loan that is secured by Lycoming Mall in Pennsdale, Pennsylvania. The outstanding principal balance on the loan as of June 30, 2009 was $28.0 million, which represented our initial draw on the loan. The mortgage loan has a fixed interest rate of 6.84% and a term of five years.

In June 2009, we entered into a $10.0 million construction loan that is secured by Pitney Road Plaza, a power center under development, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The initial funding of the construction loan was $4.4 million, which was the balance as of June 30, 2009. The construction loan has a variable interest rate of 2.5% over 3-month LIBOR with a floor of 5.0% during the construction period and a term of one year with a 6-month extension option for the construction loan period and an option to convert the loan to a two-year loan at the end of the construction period. The loan is interest only during the construction period.

In March 2009, we entered into a $16.3 million mortgage loan that is secured by New River Valley Center in Christiansburg, Virginia. The mortgage loan has a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.25% with a minimum interest rate of 5.75% and a term of three years and with two one-year extension options. The variable interest rate was capped to a fixed interest rate of 5.75% for the initial three year term of the loan.

In January 2009, we repaid a $15.7 million mortgage loan on Palmer Park Mall in Easton, Pennsylvania.

Derivatives

As of June 30, 2009, we had a total of 12 interest rate swap agreements and one interest rate cap agreement, as described in note 9 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements. The interest rate swap and cap agreements have an aggregate notional value of $597.5 million and mature on various dates through November 2013. We assessed the effectiveness of these swaps and cap as hedges at inception and on June 30, 2009 and considered these swaps and cap to be highly effective cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133. Our interest rate swaps are net settled monthly.

As of June 30, 2009, the aggregate estimated unrealized net loss attributed to these interest rate swaps was $15.2 million. The carrying amount of the derivative assets is reflected in fair value of derivative assets, the associated liabilities are reflected in fair value of derivative liabilities and the net unrealized gain or loss is reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying balance sheets.

Mortgage Notes

Mortgage notes payable, which are secured by 26 of our consolidated properties, are due in installments over various terms extending to the year 2017. Fifteen of the mortgage notes bear interest at a fixed rate and nine of the mortgage notes bear interest at variable rates that have been swapped to or capped at a fixed rate. These 24 mortgage notes have interest rates that range from 4.95% to 7.61% and had a weighted average interest rate of 5.80% at June 30, 2009. We also have two properties with variable interest rate mortgages that had a weighted average interest rate of 3.11% at June 30, 2009. Mortgage notes payable for properties owned by unconsolidated partnerships are accounted for in “Investments in partnerships, at equity” and “Distributions in excess of partnership investments” on the consolidated balance sheets and are not included in the table below.

CASH FLOWS

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $76.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $67.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in 2009 as compared to 2008 was primarily due to changes in working capital, due to $3.9 million of incentive compensation paid in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $6.0 million paid in the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Cash flows used for investing activities were $103.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $156.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Investing activities for 2009 reflect investment in construction in progress of $95.2 million and real estate improvements of $10.1 million, all of which primarily relate to our development and redevelopment activities. Investing activities for 2009 also reflect proceeds of $5.4 million from the sale of real estate investments. Cash flows from investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 reflect investment in construction in progress of $136.9 million, real estate improvements of $8.1 million and real estate acquisitions of $4.5 million.

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $47.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $85.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Cash flows provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were primarily affected by $48.7 million of proceeds from the mortgage loans on New River Valley Center, Pitney Road Plaza and Lycoming Mall, as well as $45.0 million in borrowings from the Credit Facility. We used some of these proceeds to repay the $15.7 million mortgage note on Palmer Park Mall and to make a $2.4 million payment on the mortgage loan on One Cherry Hill Plaza. Cash flows from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were also affected by dividends and distributions of $18.6 million, principal installments on mortgage notes payable of $8.2 million, and payments of $0.7 million for the repurchase of exchangeable notes.

COMMITMENTS

At June 30, 2009, we had $24.7 million of unaccrued contractual obligations to complete current development and redevelopment projects. Total remaining costs for the particular projects with such commitments are $67.6 million. See “– Liquidity and Capital Resources – Capital Resources.”

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

We are aware of certain environmental matters at some of our properties, including ground water contamination and the presence of asbestos containing materials. We have, in the past, performed remediation of such environmental matters, and we are not aware of any significant remaining potential liability relating to these environmental matters. We may be required in the future to perform testing relating to these matters. We have insurance coverage for certain environmental claims up to $10.0 million per occurrence and up to $10.0 million in the aggregate.

COMPETITION AND TENANT CREDIT RISK

Competition in the retail real estate industry is intense. We compete with other public and private retail real estate companies, including companies that own or manage malls, power centers, lifestyle centers, strip centers, factory outlet centers, theme/festival centers and community centers, as well as other commercial real estate developers and real estate owners, particularly those with properties near our properties, on the basis of several factors, including location and rent charged. We compete with these companies to attract customers to our properties, as well as to attract anchor and in-line store tenants. We also compete to acquire land for new site development. Our malls and our strip and power centers face competition from similar retail centers, including more recently developed or renovated centers, that are near our retail properties. We also face competition from a variety of different retail formats, including internet retailers, discount or value retailers, home shopping networks, mail order operators, catalogs and telemarketers. This competition could have a material adverse effect on our ability to lease space and on the amount of rent that we receive. Our tenants face competition from companies at the same and other properties and from other retail formats as well.

The development of competing retail properties and the related increased competition for tenants might require us to make capital improvements to properties that we would have deferred or would not have otherwise planned to make and might also affect the occupancy and net operating income of such properties. Any such redevelopments, undertaken individually or collectively, involve costs and expenses that could adversely affect our results of operations.

We compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities for acquisitions of malls, other retail properties and other prime development sites, including institutional pension funds, other REITs and other owner-operators of retail properties. Given current economic, capital market and retail industry conditions, however, there has been substantially less competition with respect to acquisition activity in recent quarters. When we seek to make acquisitions, these competitors might drive up the price we

 

40


Table of Contents

must pay for properties, parcels, other assets or other companies we seek to acquire, or might themselves succeed in acquiring those properties, parcels, assets or companies. In addition, our potential acquisition targets might find our competitors to be more attractive suitors if they have greater resources, are willing to pay more, or have a more compatible operating philosophy. In particular, larger REITs might enjoy significant competitive advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital, a better ability to raise capital, a better ability to finance an acquisition, and enhanced operating efficiencies. We might not succeed in acquiring retail properties or development sites that we seek, or, if we pay higher prices for properties, or generate lower cash flow from an acquired property than we expect, our investment returns will be reduced, which will adversely affect the value of our securities.

We receive a substantial portion of our operating income as rent under long-term leases with tenants. As is currently the case, at any time, any tenant having space in one or more of our properties could experience a downturn in its business that might weaken its financial condition. These tenants have, and other tenants in the future might, defer or fail to make rental payments when due, delay or cancel lease commencement, voluntarily vacate the premises or declare bankruptcy, which has and might in the future result in the termination of the tenant’s lease, and result in material losses to us and harm to our results of operations. Also, it might take time to terminate leases of underperforming or nonperforming tenants and we might incur costs to remove such tenants. Some of our tenants occupy stores at multiple locations in our portfolio, and so the effect of any bankruptcy of those tenants has and might in the future be more significant to us than the bankruptcy of other tenants. In addition, under many of our leases, our tenants pay rent based on a percentage of their sales. Accordingly, declines in these tenants’ sales has and might in the future negatively affect our results of operations. Also, if tenants are unable to comply with the terms of their leases, we have and might in the future modify lease terms in ways that are less favorable to us.

SEASONALITY

There is seasonality in the retail real estate industry. Retail property leases often provide for the payment of a portion of rent based on a percentage of a tenant’s sales over certain levels. Income from such rent is recorded only after the minimum sales levels have been met. The sales levels are often met in the fourth quarter, during the December holiday season. Also, many new and temporary leases are entered into later in the year in anticipation of the holiday season and there is a higher concentration of tenants vacating their space early in the year. As a result, our occupancy and cash flows are generally higher in the fourth quarter and lower in the first quarter, excluding the effect of ongoing redevelopment projects. Our concentration in the retail sector increases our exposure to seasonality and is expected to continue to result in a greater percentage of our cash flows being received in the fourth quarter.

INFLATION

Inflation can have many effects on the financial performance of our tenants and us. Retail property leases often provide for the payment of rent based on a percentage of sales, which may increase or decrease as a result of inflationary prices and their effect on consumer spending. Also, inflation could cause increases in property operating expenses, which could increase occupancy costs for tenants and, to the extent we are unable to recover property expenses from tenants, could increase property operating expenses for us. In addition, if the rate of inflation exceeds the scheduled rate increases included in our leases, then our net operating income and our profitability would decrease.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of our financial instruments to selected changes in market interest rates. As of June 30, 2009, our consolidated debt portfolio consisted primarily of $1,778.7 million in fixed and variable rate mortgage notes, excluding $3.4 million of mortgage debt premium, $445.0 million borrowed under our senior unsecured Credit Facility, which bears interest at a LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin, $170.0 million borrowed under our senior unsecured term loan, of which $130.0 million has been swapped to a fixed interest rate of 5.33% and the remaining $40.0 million has been swapped to a fixed interest rate of 5.15%, and exchangeable notes of $214.4 million, which bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.00%, excluding debt discount of $8.8 million.

Mortgage notes payable, which are secured by 26 of our consolidated properties, are due in installments over various terms extending to the year 2017. Fifteen of the mortgage notes bear interest at a fixed rate and nine of the mortgage notes bear interest at variable rates that have been swapped to or capped at a fixed rate. These 24 mortgage notes have interest rates that range from 4.95% to 7.61% and had a weighted average interest rate of 5.80% at June 30, 2009. We also have two properties with variable interest rate mortgages that had a weighted average interest rate of 3.11% at June 30, 2009. Mortgage notes payable for properties owned by unconsolidated partnerships are accounted for in “Investments in partnerships, at equity” and “Distributions in excess of partnership investments” on the consolidated balance sheets and are not included in the table below.

Our interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of techniques. The table below presents the principal amounts of the expected annual maturities and the weighted average interest rates for the principal payments in the specified periods:

(1)

Based on the weighted average interest rate in effect as of June 30, 2009.

(2)

Includes the senior unsecured term loan of $170.0 million that was swapped to a weighted average fixed rate of 5.29% effective in the fourth quarter of 2008.

(3)

Our Credit Facility, which has an outstanding balance of $445.0 million, has a term that expires in March 2010.

(4)

Includes exchangeable notes of $214.4 million with an interest rate of 4.00%.

Changes in market interest rates have different effects on the fixed and variable portions of our debt portfolio. A change in market interest rates applicable to the fixed portion of the debt portfolio impacts the fair value, but it has no impact on interest incurred or cash flows. A change in market interest rates applicable to the variable portion of the debt portfolio impacts the interest incurred and cash flows, but does not impact the fair value. The following sensitivity analysis related to the fixed debt portfolio, which includes the effects of the interest rate swap and cap agreements described below, assumes an immediate 100 basis point change in interest rates from their actual June 30, 2009 levels, with all other variables held constant. A 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of our debt of $48.5 million at June 30, 2009. A 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would result in an increase in the fair value of our debt of $51.3 million at June 30, 2009. Based on the variable rate debt included in our debt portfolio, as of June 30, 2009, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in an additional $4.6 million in interest annually, and a 100 basis point decrease would reduce interest incurred by $4.6 million annually.

To manage interest rate risk and limit overall interest cost, we may employ interest rate swaps, options, forwards, caps and floors, or a combination thereof, depending on the underlying exposure. Interest rate differentials that arise under swap and cap contracts are recognized in interest expense over the life of the contracts. If interest rates rise, the resulting cost of funds is expected to be lower than that which would have been available if debt with matching characteristics were issued directly. Conversely, if interest rates fall, the resulting costs would be expected to be higher. We may also employ forwards or purchased options to hedge qualifying anticipated transactions. Gains and losses are deferred and recognized in net income in the same period that the underlying transaction occurs, expires or is otherwise terminated. See note 9 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

We currently have $597.5 million notional amount of interest rate swap and cap agreements that have a weighted average interest rate of 3.29% maturing on various dates through November 2013. We assessed the effectiveness of these swaps and cap as hedges at inception and on June 30, 2009 and considered these swaps and cap to be highly effective cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133.

Because the information presented above includes only those exposures that exist as of June 30, 2009, it does not consider changes, exposures or positions which could arise after that date. The information presented herein has limited predictive value. As a result, the ultimate realized gain or loss or expense as a result of interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period, and the hedging arrangements we have in place.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

We are committed to providing accurate and timely disclosure in satisfaction of our SEC reporting obligations. In 2002, we established a Disclosure Committee to formalize our disclosure controls and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2009, and have concluded as follows:

 

   

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information that we are required to disclose in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately and on a timely basis.

 

   

Our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information that we are required to disclose in our Exchange Act reports is accumulated, communicated to management and disclosed in a timely manner.

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

In the normal course of business, we have become and might in the future become involved in legal actions relating to the ownership and operation of our properties and the properties that we manage for third parties. In management’s opinion, the resolution of any such pending legal actions are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risks that could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations, which are discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The units were issued under exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). See “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Related Party Transactions.”

In June 2009, we issued to a holder of Notes (as defined below) 3,000,000 common shares of beneficial interest, par value $1.00 per share (“Shares”), in exchange for $25.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.00% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2012 (the “Notes”) of PREIT Associates.

A RTICLE II. C REDIT F ACILITIES

Section 2.1. Loans.

(a) Making of Revolving Loans . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including without limitation, Section 2.16. below, each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, such Lender’s Commitment. Each borrowing of Base Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each borrowing and Continuation under Section 2.9. of, and each Conversion under Section 2.10. of Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 in excess of that amount. Notwithstanding the preceding two sentences, a borrowing of Revolving Loans may be in the aggregate amount of the unused Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

(b) Requests for Revolving Loans . Not later than 9:00 a.m. San Francisco time at least one (1) Business Day prior to a borrowing of Base Rate Loans and not later than 9:00 a.m. San Francisco time at least three (3) Business Days prior to a borrowing of LIBOR Loans, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a Notice of Borrowing. Each Notice of Borrowing shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans to be borrowed, the date such Revolving Loans are to be borrowed (which must be a Business Day), the use of the proceeds of such Revolving Loans, the Type of the requested Revolving Loans, and if such Revolving Loans are to be LIBOR Loans, the initial Interest Period for such Revolving Loans. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the Borrower. Prior to delivering a Notice of Borrowing, the Borrower may (without specifying whether a Revolving Loan will be a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan) request that the Agent provide the Borrower with the most recent LIBOR available to the Agent. The Agent shall provide such quoted rate to the Borrower on the date of such request or as soon as possible thereafter.

(c) Funding of Revolving Loans . Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing under the immediately preceding subsection (b), the Agent shall notify each Lender by telecopy, or other similar form of transmission of the proposed borrowing. In addition, not later than 2 Business Days prior to the proposed date of the borrowing of any LIBOR Loans, the Agent shall notify each Lender of the interest rate (LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin) applicable to such LIBOR Loans. Each Lender shall deposit an amount equal to the Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender to the Borrower with the

Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds not later than 9:00 a.m. San Francisco time on the date of such proposed Revolving Loans. Subject to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, the Agent shall make available to the Borrower at the Principal Office, not later than 12:00 noon San Francisco time on the date of the requested borrowing of Revolving Loans, the proceeds of such amounts received by the Agent. No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.

(d) Assumptions Regarding Funding by Lenders . With respect to Revolving Loans to be made after the Effective Date, unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender that such Lender will not make available to the Agent a Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender, the Agent may assume that such Lender will make the proceeds of such Revolving Loan available to the Agent in accordance with this Section and the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower the amount of such Revolving Loan to be provided by such Lender.

Section 2.2. Letters of Credit.

The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall be at least $10,000.

(c) Requests for Issuance of Letters of Credit . The Borrower shall give the Agent written notice at least 5 Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance of a Letter of Credit, such notice to describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions or obligations proposed to be supported by such Letter of Credit, and in any event shall set forth with respect to such Letter of Credit the proposed (i) initial Stated Amount, (ii) the beneficiary, and (iii) expiration date. The Borrower shall also execute and deliver such customary applications and agreements for standby letters of credit, and other forms as requested from time to time by the Agent.

Upon the written request of the Borrower, the Agent shall deliver to the Borrower a copy of (i) any Letter of Credit proposed to be issued hereunder prior to the issuance thereof and (ii) each issued Letter of Credit within a reasonable time after the date of issuance thereof. To the extent any term of a Letter of Credit Document is inconsistent with a term of any Loan Document, the term of such Loan Document shall control as to the Agent, the Lenders and the Loan Parties.

(d) Reimbursement Obligations . Upon receipt by the Agent from the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of any demand for payment under such Letter of Credit, the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of the amount to be paid by the Agent as a result of such demand and the date on which payment is to be made by the Agent to such beneficiary in respect of such demand. The Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to pay and reimburse the Agent for the amount of each demand for payment under such Letter of Credit at or prior to the date on which payment is to be made by the Agent to the beneficiary thereunder, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind. Upon receipt by the Agent of any payment in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation, the Agent shall promptly pay to each Lender that has acquired a participation therein under the second sentence of subsection (i) of this Section such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment.

(e) Manner of Reimbursement . Upon its receipt of a notice referred to in the immediately preceding subsection (d), the Borrower shall advise the Agent whether or not the Borrower intends to borrow hereunder to finance its obligation to reimburse the Agent for the amount of the related demand for payment and, if it does, the Borrower shall submit a timely request for such borrowing as provided in the applicable provisions of this Agreement. If the Borrower fails to so advise the Agent, or if the Borrower fails to reimburse the Agent for a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit by the date of such payment, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of Base

 

4


Rate Loans hereunder in the amount of its unpaid Reimbursement Obligation to finance its obligation to reimburse the Agent for the amount of the related demand for payment. The amount limitations contained in the second sentence of Section 2.1.(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of Base Rate Loans made pursuant to this subsection. The Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed borrowing no later than 9:00 a.m. San Francisco time on the proposed date of borrowing. No later than 11:00 a.m. San Francisco time on the proposed date of borrowing, each Lender shall deposit with the Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the Base Rate Loan to be made by such Lender. Subject to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, the Agent shall apply the proceeds of such Loans in satisfaction of the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation. If the conditions of this Agreement do not permit the making of Base Rate Loans hereunder, then the Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice thereof and of the amount of the demand for payment, specifying such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of the related demand for payment and the provisions of subsection (j) of this Section shall apply.

(f) Effect of Letters of Credit on Commitments . Upon the issuance by the Agent of any Letter of Credit and until such Letter of Credit shall have expired or been terminated, the Commitment of each Lender shall be deemed to be utilized for all purposes of this Agreement in an amount equal to the product of (i) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share and (ii) the sum of (A) the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit plus (B) any related Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding.

(g) Agent’s Duties Regarding Letters of Credit; Unconditional Nature of Reimbursement Obligations . In examining documents presented in connection with drawings under Letters of Credit and making payments under such Letters of Credit against such documents, the Agent shall only be required to use the same standard of care as it uses in connection with examining documents presented in connection with drawings under letters of credit in which it has not sold participations and making payments under such letters of credit. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any of the Lenders shall be responsible for (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of or any drawing honored under any Letter of Credit even if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any 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; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telecopy or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of

 

5


Credit, or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds of any drawing under any Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Agent or the Lenders. None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the Agent’s rights or powers hereunder. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create against the Agent any liability to the Borrower or any Lender. In this connection, the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Agent for any drawing made under any Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other applicable Letter of Credit Document under all circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation, the following circumstances: (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Document or any term or provisions therein; (B) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit Documents; (C) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against the Agent, any Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or in the Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction; (D) any breach of contract or dispute between the Borrower, the Agent, any Lender or any other Person; (E) any demand, statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein or made in connection therewith being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (F) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (G) payment by the Agent under the Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not strictly comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit; and (H) any other act, omission to act, delay or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations.

(h) Amendments, Etc . The issuance by the Agent of any amendment, supplement or other modification to any Letter of Credit shall be subject to the same conditions applicable under this Agreement to the issuance of new Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, that the request therefor be made through the Agent), and no such amendment, supplement or other modification shall be issued unless either (i) the respective Letter of Credit affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been issued hereunder in such amended, supplemented or modified form or (ii) the Agent and Requisite Lenders shall have consented thereto. In connection with any such amendment, supplement or other modification, the Borrower shall pay the fees, if any, payable under the last sentence of Section 3.5.(c).

(i) Lenders’ Participation in Letters of Credit . Immediately upon the issuance by the Agent of any Letter of Credit each Lender shall be deemed to have absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Pro

 

6


Rata Share of the liability of the Agent with respect to such Letter of Credit and each Lender thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and shall be unconditionally obligated to the Agent to pay and discharge when due, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Agent’s liability under such Letter of Credit. In addition, upon the making of each payment by a Lender to the Agent in respect of any Letter of Credit pursuant to the immediately following subsection (j), such Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of the Agent or such Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to such payment in the Reimbursement Obligation owing to the Agent by the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) a participation in a percentage equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share in any interest or other amounts payable by the Borrower in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation (other than the Fees payable to the Agent pursuant to the last sentence of Section 3.5.(c)).

(j) Payment Obligation of Lenders . Each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent on demand in immediately available funds in Dollars the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each drawing paid by the Agent under each Letter of Credit to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to subsection (d) of this Section; provided, however, that in respect of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the maximum amount that any Lender shall be required to fund, whether as a Revolving Loan or as a participation, shall not exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such drawing. Each Lender’s obligation to make such payments to the Agent under this subsection, and the Agent’s right to receive the same, shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected in any way by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) the failure of any other Lender to make its payment under this subsection, (ii) the financial condition of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, (iii) the existence of any Default or Event of Default, including any Event of Default described in Section 9.1.(e) or 9.1.(f) or (iv) the termination of the Commitments. Each such payment to the Agent shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or deduction whatsoever.

Upon the request of any Lender from time to time, the Agent shall deliver any other information reasonably requested by such Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit then outstanding. Other than as set forth in this subsection, the Agent shall have no duty to notify the Lenders regarding the issuance or other matters regarding Letters of Credit issued hereunder. The failure of the Agent to perform its requirements under this subsection shall not relieve any Lender from its obligations under the immediately preceding subsection (j).

Section 2.3. Swingline Loans.

(a) Swingline Loans . Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including without limitation Section 2.16., the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower, during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Swingline Termination Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, $35,000,000, as such amount may be reduced from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans outstanding at such time exceeds the Swingline Commitment in effect at such time, the Borrower shall immediately pay the Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender the amount of such excess. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans hereunder. The borrowing of a Swingline Loan shall not constitute usage of any Lender’s Commitment for purposes of calculation of the fee payable under Section 3.5.(b) or otherwise.

(b) Procedure for Borrowing Swingline Loans . The Borrower shall give the Agent and the Swingline Lender notice pursuant to a Notice of Swingline Borrowing delivered no later than 9:00 a.m. San Francisco time on the proposed date of such borrowing. Any such telephonic notice shall include all information to be specified in a written Notice of Swingline Borrowing. Not later than 11:00 a.m. San Francisco time on the date of the requested Swingline Loan and subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article V. for such borrowing, the Swingline Lender will make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Borrower in Dollars, in immediately available funds, at the account specified by the Borrower in the Notice of Swingline Borrowing.

(c) Interest . Swingline Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time or at such other rate or rates as the Borrower and the Swingline Lender may agree from time to time in writing. All accrued and unpaid interest on Swingline Loans shall be payable on the dates and in the manner provided in Section 2.4. with respect to interest on Base Rate Loans (except as the Swingline Lender and the Borrower may otherwise agree in writing in connection with any particular Swingline Loan).

(d) Swingline Loan Amounts, Etc . Each Swingline Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, or such other minimum amounts agreed to by the Swingline Lender and the Borrower. Any voluntary prepayment of a Swingline Loan must be in integral multiples of $100,000 or the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans (or such other minimum amounts upon which the Swingline Lender and the Borrower may agree) and in connection with any such prepayment, the Borrower must give the Swingline Lender prior written notice thereof no later than 10:00 a.m. San Francisco time on the day prior to the date of such prepayment.

 

8


(e) Repayment and Participations of Swingline Loans . The Borrower agrees to repay each Swingline Loan within three Business Days of demand therefor by the Swingline Lender and, in any event, within 5 Business Days after the date such Swingline Loan was made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Swingline Loans on the Swingline Termination Date (or such earlier date as the Swingline Lender and the Borrower may agree in writing). In lieu of demanding repayment of any outstanding Swingline Loan from the Borrower, the Swingline Lender may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), request a borrowing of LIBOR Loans having an Interest Period of one month from the Lenders in an amount equal to the principal balance of such Swingline Loan. The amount limitations contained in the second sentence of Section 2.1.(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to this subsection. The Swingline Lender shall give notice to the Agent of any such borrowing of LIBOR Loans not later than 9:00 a.m. San Francisco time at least three Business Days prior to the proposed date of such borrowing. Not later than 9:00 a.m. San Francisco time on the proposed date of such borrowing, each Lender will make available to the Agent at the Principal Office for the account of the Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of the LIBOR Loan to be made by such Lender. The Agent shall pay the proceeds of such LIBOR Loans to the Swingline Lender, which shall apply such proceeds to repay such Swingline Loan. If the Lenders are prohibited from making Loans required to be made under this subsection for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation, the occurrence of any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 9.1.(e) and (f), each Lender shall purchase from the Swingline Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swingline Loan, by directly purchasing a participation in such Swingline Loan in such amount and paying the proceeds thereof to the Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender in Dollars and in immediately available funds. A Lender’s obligation to purchase such a participation in a Swingline Loan shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) any claim of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any other Person may have or claim against the Agent, the Swingline Lender or any other Person whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default (including without limitation, any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 9.1.(e) and (f)), or the termination of any Lender’s Commitment, (iii) the existence (or alleged existence) of an event or condition which has had or could have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of any Loan Document by the Agent, any Lender, the Borrower or any other Loan Party or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. If such amount is not in fact made available to the Swingline Lender by any Lender, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Swingline Lender’s demand therefor, and until such time as such Lender makes the required payment, the Swingline Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swingline Loans in the amount

 

9


of such unpaid participation obligation for all purposes of the Loan Documents (other than those provisions requiring the other Lenders to purchase a participation therein). Further, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Loans, and any other amounts due it hereunder, to the Swingline Lender to fund Swingline Loans in the amount of the participation in Swingline Loans that such Lender failed to purchase pursuant to this Section until such amount has been purchased (as a result of such assignment or otherwise).

Section 2.4. Rates and Payment of Interest on Loans.

(a) Rates . The Borrower promises to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Lender for the period from and including the date of the making of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following per annum rates:

(i) during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time); and

(ii) during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, at LIBOR for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor (from the first day to, but excluding, the last day of such Interest Period), plus the Applicable Margin for such Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender interest at the Post-Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of any Loan made by such Lender, on all Reimbursement Obligations and on any other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder or under the Revolving Notes held by such Lender to or for the account of such Lender (including without limitation, accrued but unpaid interest to the extent permitted under Applicable Law).

(b) Payment of Interest . All accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Loan shall be payable (i) monthly in arrears on the first day of each month, commencing with the first full month occurring after the Effective Date and (ii) on any date on which the principal balance of such Loan is due and payable in full (whether at maturity, due to acceleration or otherwise). Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand. All determinations by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and the Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 2.5. Number of Interest Periods.

There may be no more than 6 different Interest Periods outstanding at the same time with respect to Revolving Loans.

 

10


Section 2.6. Repayment of Loans.

The Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all Revolving Loans on the Termination Date.

Section 2.7. Late Charges.

If any payment required under this Agreement is not paid within 10 days after it becomes due and payable, the Requisite Lenders may, by notice to the Borrower, require that the Borrower pay a late charge for late payment to compensate the Lenders for the loss of use of funds and for the expenses of handling the delinquent payment, in an amount not to exceed four percent (4.0%) of such delinquent payment. Such late charge shall be paid in any event not later than the due date of the next subsequent installment of principal and/or interest. In the event the maturity of the Obligations hereunder occurs or is accelerated pursuant to Section 9.2., this Section shall apply only to payments overdue prior to the time of such acceleration. This Section shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the Lenders’ right to accelerate payment of any of the Obligations as permitted under the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.8. Prepayments.

(a) Optional . Subject to Section 4.4., the Borrower may prepay any Revolving Loan at any time without premium or penalty. The Borrower shall give the Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice of the prepayment of any Revolving Loan. Each voluntary prepayment of Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if all Revolving Loans are being prepaid at such time, the prepayment may be in such other amount as is then outstanding.

(b) Mandatory . If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, exceeds the aggregate amount of the Commitments, the Borrower shall immediately on demand pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, the amount of such excess. All payments under this subsection (b) shall be applied to pay all amounts of excess principal outstanding on the applicable Loans and any applicable Reimbursement Obligations in accordance with Section 3.2., and the remainder, if any, shall be deposited into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account for application to any Reimbursement Obligations as and when due.

Section 2.9. Continuation.

So long as no Event of Default exists, the Borrower may on any Business Day, with respect to any LIBOR Loan, elect to maintain such LIBOR Loan or any portion thereof as a LIBOR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan. Each new Interest Period selected under this Section shall commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period. Each selection of a new Interest Period shall be

 

11


made by the Borrower giving to the Agent a Notice of Continuation not later than 9:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation. Such notice by the Borrower of a Continuation shall be by telephone or telecopy, confirmed immediately in writing if by telephone, in the form of a Notice of Continuation, specifying (a) the proposed date of such Continuation, (b) the LIBOR Loan and portion thereof subject to such Continuation and (c) the duration of the selected Interest Period, all of which shall be specified in such manner as is necessary to comply with all limitations on Loans outstanding hereunder. Each Notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Continuation, the Agent shall notify each Lender by telecopy, or other similar form of transmission of the proposed Continuation. If the Borrower shall fail to select in a timely manner a new Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan in accordance with this Section, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, Continue as a LIBOR Loan having an Interest Period of one month notwithstanding the Borrower not complying with this Section.

Section 2.10. Conversion.

So long as no Event of Default exists, the Borrower may on any Business Day, upon the Borrower’s giving of a Notice of Conversion to the Agent, Convert all or a portion of a Loan of one Type into a Loan of another Type. Any Conversion of a LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan and, upon Conversion of a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan, the Borrower shall pay accrued interest to the date of Conversion on the principal amount so Converted. Each such Notice of Conversion shall be given not later than 9:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) one Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into Base Rate Loans and three Business Days prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into LIBOR Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion, the Agent shall notify each Lender by telecopy, or other similar form of transmission of the proposed Conversion. Subject to the restrictions specified above, each Notice of Conversion shall be by telephone (confirmed immediately in writing) or telecopy in the form of a Notice of Conversion specifying (a) the requested date of such Conversion, (b) the Type of Loan to be Converted, (c) the portion of such Type of Loan to be Converted, (d) the Type of Loan such Loan is to be Converted into and (e) if such Conversion is into a LIBOR Loan, the requested duration of the Interest Period of such Loan. Each Notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given.

Section 2.11. Notes.

The Revolving Loans made by each Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a Revolving Note, payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Commitment as originally in effect and otherwise duly completed.

Section 2.12. Expiration or Maturity Date of Letters of Credit Past Termination Date.

If on the date the Commitments are terminated (whether voluntarily, by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise), there are any Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder, the Borrower shall, on such date, pay to the Agent an amount of money equal to the Stated Amount of such Letter(s) of Credit for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account. If a drawing pursuant to any such Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower authorizes the Agent to use the monies deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to make payment to the beneficiary with respect to such drawing or the payee with respect to such presentment. If no drawing occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Agent shall pay to the Borrower (or to whomever else may be legally entitled thereto) the monies deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account with respect to such outstanding Letter of Credit on or before the date 10 days after the expiration date of such Letter of Credit.

Section 2.13. Increase in Commitments.

At any time and from time to time prior to the date two years after the Agreement Date the Borrower shall have the right, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.13., to increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments to an amount not to exceed $650,000,000. Any such increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments must be in an aggregate minimum amount of $20,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. If the Borrower elects to exercise such right, it shall give the Agent at least 15 days prior written notice of such exercise and the proposed effective date of such increase. Any such notice given by the Borrower shall be irrevocable. The Agent shall forward a copy of any such notice to each Lender promptly upon receipt. No Lender shall be obligated in any way whatsoever to increase its Commitment. If a new Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, or if any existing Lender agrees to increase its Commitment, such Lender shall on the date it becomes a Lender hereunder (or in the case of an existing Lender, increases its Commitment) (and as a condition thereto) purchase from the other Lenders its Pro Rata Share (determined with respect to the Lenders’ relative Commitments and after giving effect to the increase of Commitments) of any outstanding Revolving Loans, by making available to the Agent for the account of such other Lenders, in same day funds, an amount equal to the sum of (A) the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans to be purchased by such Lender plus (B) interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders amounts payable, if any, to such Lenders under Section 4.4. as a result of the prepayment of any such Revolving Loans; provided, however, that at the Borrower’s request, any increase of the Commitments pursuant to this Section shall occur on a date or dates agreed to by the Borrower and the Agent in order to minimize the amounts payable to the Lenders under Section 4.4. No increase of the aggregate amount of the Commitments may be effected under this Section if (x) a Default or Event of Default

 

13


exists on the effective date of such increase or (y) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any Loan Document to which any such Loan Party is a party is not (or would not be) true or correct in all material respects on the effective date of such increase (except for representations or warranties which expressly relate solely to an earlier date). In connection with any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section, (a) any Lender becoming a party to this Agreement shall execute such documents and agreements as the Agent may reasonably request and (b) the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that each new Lender, and any existing Lender increasing the amount of its Commitment, receives a new or replacement Note, as appropriate, in the amount of such Lender’s Commitment within 2 Business Days of the effectiveness of the applicable increase in the aggregate amount of Commitments.

Section 2.14. Extension of Termination Date.

The Borrower shall have the right, exercisable one time, to extend the Termination Date by one year. The Borrower may exercise such right only by executing and delivering to the Agent at least 90 days but not more than 180 days prior to the current Termination Date, a written request for such extension (an “Extension Request”). The Agent shall forward to each Lender a copy of the Extension Request received by the Agent promptly upon receipt thereof. Subject to satisfaction of the following conditions, the Termination Date shall be extended for one year: (a) immediately prior to such extension and immediately after giving effect thereto, (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist and (ii) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower and each other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such extension with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date) and (b) the Borrower shall have paid the Fees payable under Section 3.5.(d).

Section 2.15. Voluntary Reduction of Commitments

The Borrower may terminate or reduce the amount of the Commitments (for which purpose use of the Commitments shall be deemed to include the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans) at any time and from time to time without penalty or premium upon not less than five (5) Business Days prior notice to the Agent of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction (which in the case of any partial reduction of the Commitments shall not be less than $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess of that amount in the aggregate) and shall be irrevocable once given and effective only upon receipt by the Agent (such notice a “Prepayment Notice”); provided, however, that if the Borrower seeks to reduce the aggregate amount of the Commitments below $200,000,000, then, unless the Agent and all Lenders have otherwise previously agreed in writing, the Commitments shall be reduced to zero. Promptly after receipt of a Prepayment Notice the Agent shall notify each Lender by telecopy, or other similar form of transmission of the proposed termination or

 

14


Commitment reduction. The Commitments, once reduced pursuant to this Section, may not be increased. The Borrower shall pay all interest and fees, on the Loans accrued to the date of such reduction or termination of the Commitments to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, including but not limited to any applicable compensation due to each Lender in accordance with Section 4.4. of this Agreement.

Section 2.16. Amount Limitations.

Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Lender shall be required to make any Loan, and the Agent shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit if, immediately after the making of such Loan or issuance of such Letter of Credit the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, would exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments.

A RTICLE III. P AYMENTS , F EES AND O THER G ENERAL P ROVISIONS

Section 3.1. Payments.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, to the Agent at the Principal Office, not later than 11:00 a.m. San Francisco time on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Subject to Section 9.5., the Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, specify to the Agent the amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied. Each payment received by the Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by such Lender to the Agent from time to time, for the account of such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender. In the event the Agent fails to pay such amounts to such Lender within one Business Day of receipt of such amounts, the Agent shall pay interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall continue to accrue at the rate, if any, applicable to such payment for the period of such extension.

Section 3.2. Pro Rata Treatment.

Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement: (a) each borrowing from Lenders under Section 2.1. shall be made from the Lenders, each payment of the fees under Section 3.5. shall be made for the account of the Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments under Section 2.15. shall be applied to

 

15


the respective Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Loans by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Loans held by them, provided that if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of any Revolving Loans the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans shall not be held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments in effect at the time such Loans were made, then such payment shall be applied to the Revolving Loans in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans being held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments; (c) each payment of interest on Revolving Loans by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders; (d) the Conversion and Continuation of Revolving Loans of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by Section 4.5.) shall be made pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Loans and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each Revolving Loan of such Type shall be coterminous; (e) the Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Swingline Loans under Section 2.3., shall be in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares; and (f) the Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Letters of Credit under Section 2.2., shall be pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments. All payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts in respect of the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender only (except to the extent any Lender shall have acquired a participating interest in any such Swingline Loan pursuant to Section 2.3.).

Section 3.3. Sharing of Payments, Etc.

If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan under this Agreement or shall obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by the Borrower or any other Loan Party through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Lender not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such payment should be distributed to the Lenders in accordance with Section 3.2. or Section 9.5., such Lender shall promptly purchase from such other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans made by the other Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may actually be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.2. or Section 9.5., as applicable. To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the

 

16


Loans or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower.

Section 3.4. Several Obligations.

No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.

Section 3.5. Fees.

(a) Loan Fees . On the Effective Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender such loan fees as agreed to by the Borrower, the Agent and such Lender.

(b) Unused Fee . During the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders an unused facility fee equal to the sum of the daily amount by which the aggregate amount of the Commitments exceeds the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities set forth in the table below multiplied by the corresponding per annum rate applicable to that portion:

   Unused Fee  

$0 to and including an amount equal to 33% of the aggregate amount of Commitments

   0.300

Such fees shall be computed on a daily basis and payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each January, April, July and October during the term of this Agreement and on the Termination Date.

 

17


(c) Letter of Credit Fees . The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders a letter of credit fee at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin multiplied by the Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit; provided, however, that in no event shall the amount of such fee be less then $1,000 in the case of any Letter of Credit. Such fee shall be computed on a daily basis and payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each January, April, July and October until such Letter of Credit has expired and on the expiration date thereof. The Borrower shall pay directly to the Agent from time to time on demand all routine commissions, charges, costs and expenses in the amounts customarily charged by the Agent from time to time in like circumstances with respect to the issuance of each Letter of Credit, drawings, amendments and other transactions relating thereto.

(d) Extension Fee . If, pursuant to Section 2.14., the Borrower exercises its right to extend the Termination Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender an extension fee equal to 0.25% of the amount of such Lender’s Commitment at such time. Such fee shall be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders prior to, and as a condition to, any such extension.

(e) Agent’s Fees . The Borrower agrees to pay the administrative and other fees of the Agent as may be agreed to in writing from time to time.

Section 3.6. Computations.

Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan, any Fees or other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed.

Section 3.7. Usury.

In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by the Borrower or received by any Lender or the Swingline Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower shall notify the respective Lender or the Swingline Lender in writing that the Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrower not pay and neither the Lenders nor the Swingline Lender receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law. The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest described in Sections 2.4.(a)(i) and (ii) and in Section 2.3.(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, loan fees, letter of credit fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by the Agent, any Lender or the Swingline Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Agent, any Lender or the Swingline Lender, are charges

 

18


made to compensate the Agent, any such Lender or the Swingline Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Agent, the Lenders and the Swingline Lender in connection with this Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all fees and all charges, other than charges for the use of money, shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due.

Section 3.8. Statements of Account.

The Agent will account to the Borrower monthly with a statement of Loans, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon the Borrower absent manifest error. The Agent will account to the Borrower on changes in Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.2.(k). The failure of the Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 3.9. Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Defaulting Lender . If for any reason any Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) shall fail or refuse to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party within the time period specified for performance of such obligation or, if no time period is specified, if such failure or refusal continues for a period of 2 Business Days after notice from the Agent, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Agent or the Borrower under this Agreement or Applicable Law, such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the Loans, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any right to vote in respect of, to consent to or to direct any action or inaction of the Agent or to be taken into account in the calculation of Requisite Lenders, shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal. If for any reason a Lender fails to make timely payment to the Agent of any amount required to be paid to the Agent hereunder (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods), in addition to other rights and remedies which the Agent or the Borrower may have under the immediately preceding provisions or otherwise, the Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting Lender on such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on which the payment is made at the Federal Funds Rate, (ii) to withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. Any amounts received by the Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lender’s Loans shall not be paid to such Defaulting Lender and shall be held by the Agent and paid to such Defaulting Lender upon the Defaulting Lender’s curing of its default.

 

19


(b) Assignment of Defaulting Lender’s Commitment . The Borrower may demand that a Defaulting Lender, and upon such demand the Defaulting Lender shall promptly, assign its Commitment to an Eligible Assignee for a purchase price equal to the aggregate principal balance of the Loans then owing to such Defaulting Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to such Defaulting Lender. Upon any such assignment, the Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loans and its rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect thereof or under the Loan Documents or this Agreement to the extent the same relate to the period prior to the effective date of the purchase) shall terminate on the date of assignment, and the Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the Assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and, notwithstanding Section 11.5.(c), shall pay to the Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $7,000. It shall be the sole responsibility of the Borrower to find an Eligible Assignee willing to acquire the Defaulting Lender’s Commitment under this Section and at no time shall the Agent or any Lender be obligated in any way whatsoever to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee or to purchase a Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this clause shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Agent or any of the other Lenders (excluding the Defaulting Lender). Nothing contained in this Section is intended to limit in any way whatsoever the rights and remedies that the Borrower may have with respect to the Defaulting Lender hereunder or otherwise.

Section 3.10. Taxes.

(a) Taxes Generally . All payments by the Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other Obligations shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future excise, stamp or other taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding (i) franchise taxes, (ii) any taxes (other than withholding taxes) that would not be imposed but for a connection between the Agent or a Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such taxes (other than a connection arising solely by virtue of the activities of the Agent or such Lender pursuant to or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document), (iii) any taxes imposed on or measured by any Lender’s assets, net income, receipts or branch profits and (iv) any taxes arising after the Agreement Date solely as a result of or attributable to a Lender changing its designated Lending Office after the date such Lender becomes a party hereto (such non-excluded items being collectively called “Taxes”). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any Applicable Law, then the Borrower will:

(i) pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

 

20


(ii) promptly forward to the Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Agent evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority; and

(iii) pay to the Agent for its account or the account of the applicable Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Agent or such Lender will equal the full amount that the Agent or such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

(b) Tax Indemnification . If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to the Agent, for its account or the account of the respective Lender, as the case may be, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and the Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section, a distribution hereunder by the Agent or any Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower.

(c) Tax Forms . Prior to the date that any Lender or Participant organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States of America becomes a party hereto, such Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Internal Revenue Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto (including Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI and W-8BEN, as applicable, or appropriate successor forms), properly completed, currently effective and duly executed by such Lender or Participant establishing that payments to it hereunder and under the Notes are (i) not subject to United States Federal backup withholding tax and (ii) not subject to United States Federal withholding tax under the Code. Each such Lender or Participant shall (x) deliver further copies of such forms or other appropriate certifications on or before the date that any such forms expire or become obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form delivered to the Borrower and (y) obtain such extensions of the time for filing, and renew such forms and certifications thereof, as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount pursuant to last sentence of subsection (a) above to any Lender or Participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America or the Agent, if it is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America, if such Lender, Participant or the Agent, as applicable, fails to comply with the requirements of this subsection. If any such Lender or Participant fails to deliver the above forms or other documentation, then the Agent may withhold from such payment to such Lender such amounts as are required by the Code. If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Agent under this Section, and

 

21


costs and expenses (including all fees and disbursements of any law firm or other external counsel and the allocated cost of internal legal services and all disbursements of internal counsel) of the Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments, repayment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.

A RTICLE IV. Y IELD P ROTECTION , E TC .

Section 4.1. Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) Additional Costs . The Borrower shall promptly pay to the Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may reasonably determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it reasonably determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its LIBOR Loans or its Commitment (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans or its Commitment (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the overall net income of such Lender or of its Lending Office for any of such LIBOR Loans by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or such Lending Office), or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (including without limitation, Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitment of such Lender hereunder) or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy).

(b) Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans . Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsection (a), if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes LIBOR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), the obligation of

 

22


such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 4.5. shall apply).

(c) Additional Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit . Without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under the preceding subsections of this Section (but without duplication), if as a result of any Regulatory Change or any risk-based capital guideline or other requirement heretofore or hereafter issued by any Governmental Authority there shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable any tax, reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Letters of Credit and the result shall be to increase the cost to the Agent of issuing (or any Lender of purchasing participations in) or maintaining its obligation hereunder to issue (or purchase participations in) any Letter of Credit or reduce any amount receivable by the Agent or any Lender hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit, then, upon demand by the Agent or such Lender, the Borrower shall pay immediately to the Agent for its account or the account of such Lender, as applicable, from time to time as specified by the Agent or a Lender, such additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate the Agent or such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amount.

(d) Notification and Determination of Additional Costs . Each of the Agent and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling the Agent or such Lender to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or any Lender to give such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder; provided, further, however, that no Lender shall be entitled to claim any compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section if such Lender fails to provide such notice to the Borrower within 90 days of the date such Lender becomes aware of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim for such compensation. The Agent and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to furnish to the Borrower (and in the case of a Lender to the Agent as well) a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request for compensation under this Section. Determinations by the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

Section 4.2. Suspension of LIBOR Loans.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of any LIBOR for any Interest Period:

(a) the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for LIBOR Loans as provided herein or is otherwise unable to determine LIBOR, or

 

23


(b) the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined are not likely to adequately cover the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period;

then the Agent shall give the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make additional LIBOR Loans, Continue LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans and the Borrower shall, on the last day of each current Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, either prepay such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.

Section 4.3. Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy of such notice to the Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Revolving Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 4.5. shall be applicable).

Section 4.4. Compensation.

The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through the Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense that such Lender reasonably determines is attributable to:

(a) any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR Loan, or Conversion of a LIBOR Loan, made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

(b) any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Article V. to be satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan or Continue a LIBOR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation.

 

24


Not in limitation of the foregoing, such compensation shall include, without limitation; in the case of a LIBOR Loan, an amount equal to the then present value of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on such LIBOR Loan for the remainder of the Interest Period at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loan, less (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same LIBOR Loan for the same period if LIBOR were set on the date on which such LIBOR Loan was repaid, prepaid or Converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, Convert or Continue such LIBOR Loan, as applicable, calculating present value by using as a discount rate LIBOR quoted on such date plus the Applicable Margin. Upon the Borrower’s request (made through the Agent), any Lender seeking compensation under this Section shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Any such statement shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 4.5. Treatment of Affected Loans.

Section 4.8. Change of Lending Office.

Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Sections 3.10., 4.1. or 4.3. to reduce the liability of the Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America.

All such Intellectual Property is fully protected and/or duly and

 

35


properly registered, filed or issued in the appropriate office and jurisdictions for such registrations, filing or issuances. No material claim has been asserted by any Person with respect to the use of any such Intellectual Property, or challenging or questioning the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property. The use of such Intellectual Property by the Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person, subject to such claims and infringements as do not, in the aggregate, give rise to any liabilities on the part of any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

No document furnished or written statement made, in each case by, or at the direction of any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary to the Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation, preparation or execution of any Loan Document contains or will contain any untrue statement of a fact material to the creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary or omits or will omit to state a fact material to the creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary which is necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by the Loan Parties, and the borrowing and repayment of amounts thereunder, do not and will not constitute “prohibited transactions” under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code for which no statutory or administrative exemption is available.

 

36

The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind all of the Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of the Requisite Lenders, and are not intended to benefit the Borrower and do not give the Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are satisfied.

Section 10.1. Appointment and Authorization.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Agent”, “Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The Agent will also furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Agent by the Borrower, the Parent, any Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Borrower, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Agent shall exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders.

The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wells Fargo or its affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower, the Parent, other Loan Parties, other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.

Section 10.5. Approvals of Lenders.

All communications from the Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to the Agent by the Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (d) shall include the Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Agent, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or counsel, and based on the financial statements of the Parent, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Parent, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents.

65


capacity as Agent but not as a “Lender”) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to the Agent) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Agent that the Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.

Section 10.8. Successor Agent.

The Agent may resign at any time as Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the current Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the current Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall

 

66


thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Agent, and the current Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article X. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its affiliates which is an Eligible Assignee by giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice.

Each of the Sole Lead Arranger, Syndication Agents, Documentation Agents and Managing Agents (each a “Titled Agent”) in each such respective capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles given to the Titled Agents are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Agent, any Lender, the Borrower or any other Loan Party and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.

The relationship between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Agent, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Agent or any Lender to any Lender, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party. Neither the Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Parent or the Borrower to review or inform the Parent or the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the business or operations of the Parent or the Borrower.

Except as otherwise provided by Applicable Law, the Agent and each Lender shall utilize all non-public information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement which has been identified as confidential or proprietary by the Parent or the Borrower in accordance with its customary procedure for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices but in any event may make disclosure: (a) to any of their respective affiliates (provided any such affiliate shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section); (b) as reasonably required by any bona fide Assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with the contemplated transfer of any Commitment or participations therein as permitted hereunder (provided they shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section); (c) as required by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process; (d) to the independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information of the Agent or any Lender and shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section); and (e) after the happening and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to any other Person, in connection with the exercise by the Agent or the Lenders of rights hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. The Agent and each Lender agrees to use any such non-public information solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other written or oral understanding or agreement to which the parties hereto are parties or by which they are bound, the parties hereto acknowledge and

 

75


agree that (i) any obligations of confidentiality contained herein and therein do not apply and have not applied from the commencement of discussions between the parties to the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (and any related transactions or arrangements), and (ii) each party (and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, all within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4; provided, however, that each party recognizes that the privilege each has to maintain, in its sole discretion, the confidentiality of a communication relating to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, including a confidential communication with its attorney or a confidential communication with a federally authorized tax practitioner under Section 7525 of the Internal Revenue Code, is not intended to be affected by the foregoing.

Section 11.9. Indemnification.

(a) The Borrower shall and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Agent, any affiliate of the Agent, and each of the Lenders and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, agents, employees and counsel (each referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses of every kind and nature (including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, court costs and the fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding or any advice rendered in connection therewith) incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of, or by reason of, any suit, cause of action, claim, arbitration, investigation or settlement, consent decree or other proceeding (the foregoing referred to herein as an “Indemnity Proceeding”) which is in any way related directly or indirectly to: (i) this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; (ii) the making of any Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder; (iii) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit; (iv) the Agent’s or any Lender’s entering into this Agreement; (v) the fact that the Agent and the Lenders have established the credit facility evidenced hereby in favor of the Borrower; (vi) the fact that the Agent and the Lenders are creditors of the Borrower and have or are alleged to have information regarding the financial condition, strategic plans or business operations of the Parent, the Borrower and the other Subsidiaries; (vii) the fact that the Agent and the Lenders are material creditors of the Borrower and are alleged to influence directly or indirectly the business decisions or affairs of the Parent, the Borrower and the other Subsidiaries or their financial condition; (viii) the exercise of any right or remedy the Agent or the Lenders may have under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any acts or omissions of such Indemnified Party in connection with matters described in clause (i) and this clause (viii) to the extent found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful

 

76


misconduct; or (ix) any violation or non-compliance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Applicable Law (including any Environmental Law) including, but not limited to, any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by (A) the Internal Revenue Service or state taxing authority or (B) any Governmental Authority or other Person under any Environmental Law, including any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by a Governmental Authority or other Person seeking remedial or other action to cause the Borrower or its Subsidiaries (or its respective properties) (or the Agent and/or the Lenders as successors to the Borrower) to be in compliance with such Environmental Laws.

(b) The Borrower’s indemnification obligations under this Section shall apply to all Indemnity Proceedings arising out of, or related to, the foregoing whether or not an Indemnified Party is a named party in such Indemnity Proceeding. In this connection, this indemnification shall cover all costs and expenses of any Indemnified Party in connection with any deposition of any Indemnified Party or compliance with any subpoena (including any subpoena requesting the production of documents). This indemnification shall, among other things, apply to any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by other creditors of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, any shareholder of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (whether such shareholder(s) are prosecuting such Indemnity Proceeding in their individual capacity or derivatively on behalf of the Borrower), any account debtor of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or by any Governmental Authority. If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower hereunder are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law. The Borrower’s obligations hereunder are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any other obligation in respect of indemnification contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

At such time as (a) all of the Commitments have been terminated, (b) none of the Lenders and the Swingline Lender are obligated any longer under this Agreement to make any Loans and the Agent is no longer obligated to issue Letters of Credit hereunder and (c) all Obligations (other than obligations which survive as provided in the following sentence) have been paid and satisfied in full, this Agreement shall terminate. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, the indemnities to which the Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of Sections 10.7., 11.2. and 11.9. and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the waivers of jury trial and submission to jurisdictions contained in Section 11.4., shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Agent and the Lenders against events arising after such termination as well as before.

Section 11.11. Severability of Provisions.

Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(the “Borrower”), Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (the “Parent”), the financial institutions party thereto and their assignees under Section 11.5.(c) thereof, the Agent and the other parties thereto, (b) THE LENDERS and (c) THE SWINGLINE LENDER.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Agent and the Lenders have agreed to make available to the Borrower certain financial accommodations on the terms and conditions set forth therein;

WHEREAS, the Parent is the sole general partner of the Borrower;

WHEREAS, each other Guarantor is a Subsidiary of the Borrower or the Parent;

WHEREAS, the Borrower, each Guarantor and the other Loan Parties, though separate legal entities, are mutually dependent on each other in the conduct of their respective businesses as an integrated operation and have determined it to be in their mutual best interests to obtain financing from the Agent and the Lenders through their collective efforts;

WHEREAS, each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the Agent and the Lenders making such financial accommodations available to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and, accordingly, each such Guarantor is willing to guarantee certain of the Borrower’s obligations to the Agent and the Lenders on the terms and conditions contained herein; and

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Credit Agreement and the extension of financial accommodations under the Credit Agreement, that the Guarantors execute and deliver this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each Guarantor, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

Section 1. Guaranty . Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranties the due and punctual payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all of the following (collectively referred to as the “Guarantied Obligations”): (a) all indebtedness and obligations owing by the Borrower to any Lender or the Agent under or in connection with the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document to which

 

B-1


the Borrower is a party, including without limitation, the repayment of all principal of the Loans and the payment of all interest, fees, charges, reasonable attorneys fees and other amounts payable to any Lender or the Agent thereunder or in connection therewith; (b) any and all extensions, renewals, modifications, amendments or substitutions of the foregoing; (c) all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that are incurred by the Lenders and the Agent in the enforcement of any of the foregoing or any obligation of such Guarantor hereunder and (d) all other Obligations.

Section 2. Guaranty of Payment and Not of Collection . This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment, and not of collection, and a debt of each Guarantor for its own account. Accordingly, the Lenders and the Agent shall not be obligated or required before enforcing this Guaranty against any Guarantor: (a) to pursue any right or remedy the Lenders or the Agent may have against any Loan Party or any other Person or commence any suit or other proceeding against any Loan Party or any other Person in any court or other tribunal; (b) to make any claim in a liquidation or bankruptcy of any Loan Party or any other Person; or (c) to make demand of any Loan Party or any other Person or to enforce or seek to enforce or realize upon any collateral security held by the Lenders or the Agent which may secure any of the Guarantied Obligations.

Section 3. Guaranty Absolute . Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guarantied Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the documents evidencing the same, regardless of any Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Agent or the Lenders with respect thereto. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including without limitation, the following (whether or not such Guarantor consents thereto or has notice thereof):

(a) (i) any change in the amount, interest rate or due date or other term of any of the Guarantied Obligations, (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of all or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations, (iii) any amendment or waiver of, or consent to the departure from or other indulgence with respect to, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other document or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guarantied Obligations, or (iv) any waiver, renewal, extension, addition, or supplement to, or deletion from, or any other action or inaction under or in respect of, the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Guarantied Obligations or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Guarantied Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;

(b) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other document, instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Guarantied Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;

(c) any furnishing to the Agent or the Lenders of any security for the Guarantied Obligations, or any sale, exchange, release or surrender of, or realization on, any collateral securing any of the Obligations;

 

B-2


(d) any settlement or compromise of any of the Guarantied Obligations, any security therefor, or any liability of any other party with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, or any subordination of the payment of the Guarantied Obligations to the payment of any other liability of any Loan Party;

(e) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to such Loan Party or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding;

(f) any invalidity or nonperfection of any security interest or lien on, or any other impairment of, any collateral securing any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any failure of the Agent or any other Person to preserve any such collateral security or any other impairment of any such collateral;

(g) any act or failure to act by any Loan Party or any other Person which may adversely affect such Guarantor’s subrogation rights, if any, against such Loan Party to recover payments made under this Guaranty;

(h) any application of sums paid by any Loan Party or any other Person with respect to the liabilities of the Borrower to the Agent or the Lenders, regardless of what liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid;

(i) any defect, limitation or insufficiency in the borrowing powers of the Borrower or in the exercise thereof; or

(j) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, a Guarantor hereunder (other than termination of this Guaranty as provided in Section 20. hereof).

Section 4. Action with Respect to Guarantied Obligations . The Lenders and the Agent may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without discharging any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder take any and all actions described in Section 3. and may otherwise: (a) amend, modify, alter or supplement the terms of any of the Guarantied Obligations, including, but not limited to, extending or shortening the time of payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations or changing the interest rate that may accrue on any of the Guarantied Obligations; (b) amend, modify, alter or supplement the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; (c) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with all, or any part, of any collateral securing any of the Obligations; (d) release any Loan Party or other Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Guarantied Obligations; (e) exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights against any Loan Party or any other Person; and (f) apply any sum, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the Guarantied Obligations in such order as the Lenders shall elect.

 

B-3


Section 5. Representations and Warranties . Each Guarantor hereby makes to the Agent and the Lenders all of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower with respect to or in any way relating to such Guarantor in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as if the same were set forth herein in full.

Section 6. Covenants . Each Guarantor will comply with all covenants which the Borrower is to cause such Guarantor to comply with under the terms of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

Section 7. Waiver . Each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any manner or to any extent might vary the risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to discharge such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.

Section 8. Inability to Accelerate Loan . If the Agent and/or the Lenders are prevented under Applicable Law or otherwise from demanding or accelerating payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations by reason of any automatic stay or otherwise, the Agent and/or the Lenders shall be entitled to receive from each Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due had such demand or acceleration occurred.

Section 9. Reinstatement of Guarantied Obligations . If claim is ever made on the Agent or any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, and the Agent or such Lender repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Agent or such Lender with any such claimant (including the Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy for the Borrower), then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the Agent or such Lender for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid to the Agent or such Lender.

Section 10. Subrogation . Each Guarantor hereby forever waives to the fullest extent possible any and all claims such Guarantor may have against the Borrower arising out of any payment by such Guarantor to the Agent and Lenders of any of the obligations pursuant to this Guaranty, including, but not limited to, all such claims of such Guarantor arising out of any right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement, contribution, exoneration, payment or any other claim, cause of action, right or remedy against the Borrower, whether such claim arises at law, in equity, or out of any written or oral agreement between or among such Guarantor, the Borrower or otherwise. The waivers set forth above are intended by each Guarantor, the Agent and the Lenders to be for the benefit of the Borrower, and such waivers shall be enforceable by the Borrower, or any of their successors or assigns, as an absolute defense to any action by such Guarantor against the Borrower or the assets of the Borrower, which action arises out of any payment by the Borrower to the Agent or Lenders upon any of these obligations. The waivers set forth herein may not be revoked by any Guarantor without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Borrower.

 

B-4


Section 11. Payments Free and Clear . All sums payable by each Guarantor hereunder, whether of principal, interest, fees, expenses, premiums or otherwise, shall be paid in full, without set-off or counterclaim or any deduction or withholding whatsoever (including any Taxes), and if such Guarantor is required by Applicable Law or by any Governmental Authority to make any such deduction or withholding, provided the requirements set forth in Section 3.10 of the Credit Agreement are satisfied, such Guarantor shall pay to the Agent and the Lenders such additional amount as will result in the receipt by the Agent and the Lenders of the full amount payable hereunder had such deduction or withholding not occurred or been required.

Section 12. Set-off . In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any of the other Loan Documents or Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Guarantor hereby authorizes the Agent and each Lender, at any time or from time to time, during the continuance of any Event of Default without any prior notice to such Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender, subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Agent exercised in its sole discretion, to set-off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Agent, such Lender or any affiliate of the Agent or such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor against and on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Each Guarantor agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, that any Participant may exercise rights of setoff or counterclaim and other rights with respect to its participation as fully as if such Participant were a direct creditor of such Guarantor in the amount of such participation.

Section 13. Subordination . Each Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders that all obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to such Guarantor of whatever description, including without limitation, all intercompany receivables of such Guarantor from the Borrower (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Guarantied Obligations. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then no Guarantor shall accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property, securities by setoff or otherwise) from the Borrower on account of or in any manner in respect of any Junior Claim until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.

Section 14. Avoidance Provisions . It is the intent of each Guarantor, the Agent and the Lenders that in any Proceeding, such Guarantor’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Guarantor in such Proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including without limitation, (a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”) and (b) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such Proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the

 

B-5


Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The Applicable Laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred to as the “Avoidance Provisions”. Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Guarantied Obligations for which such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Guarantied Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Guarantor or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Agent and the Lenders that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

Section 15. Information . Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Loan Parties, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty whatsoever to advise any Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances or risks.

Section 16. Governing Law . THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH COMMONWEALTH

SECTION 17. LITIGATION; JURISDICTION; OTHER MATTERS; WAIVERS .

(a) EACH GUARANTOR, AND EACH OF THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS HEREOF, ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE AGENT AND EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY COLLATERAL OR ANY LIEN OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE.

 

B-6


(b) EACH GUARANTOR, THE AGENT, AND EACH LENDER BY ACEPTING THE BENFITS HEREOF, HEREBY AGREES THAT THE FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA OR, AT THE OPTION OF THE AGENT, ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN PHILADELPHIA COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE AGENT, OR ANY OF THE LENDERS, PERTAINING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS GUARANTY, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING HEREFROM OR THEREFROM OR THE COLLATERAL. EACH GUARANTOR AND EACH OF THE LENDERS EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS.

(c) EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME.

(d) THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

(e) THE FOREGOING WAIVERS HAVE BEEN MADE WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTY.

Section 18. Loan Accounts . The Agent and each Lender may maintain books and accounts setting forth the amounts of principal, interest and other sums paid and payable with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, and in the case of any dispute relating to any of the Guarantied Obligations or otherwise, the entries in such books and accounts shall constitute prima facie evidence of the outstanding amount of such Guarantied Obligations and the amounts paid and payable with respect thereto absent manifest error. The failure of the Agent or any Lender to maintain such books and accounts shall not in any way relieve or discharge any Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 19. Waiver of Remedies . No delay or failure on the part of the Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy it may have against any Guarantor hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Agent or any Lender of any such right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right or remedy.

 

B-7


Section 20. Termination . This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations and the termination or cancellation of the Credit Agreement.

Section 21. Successors and Assigns . Each reference herein to the Agent or the Lenders shall be deemed to include such Person’s respective successors and assigns (including, but not limited to, any holder of the Guarantied Obligations) in whose favor the provisions of this Guaranty also shall inure, and each reference herein to each Guarantor shall be deemed to include such Guarantor’s successors and assigns, upon whom this Guaranty also shall be binding. The Lenders may, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement, assign, transfer or sell any Guarantied Obligations, or grant or sell participations in any Guarantied Obligation, to any Person without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor and without releasing, discharging or modifying any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. Each Guarantor hereby consents to the delivery by the Agent or any Lender to any Assignee or Participant (or any prospective Assignee or Participant) of any financial or other information regarding any Loan Party. No Guarantor may assign or transfer its obligations hereunder to any Person without the prior written consent of all Lenders and any such assignment or other transfer to which all of the Lenders have not so consented shall by null and void.

Section 22. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS . THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE GUARANTORS HEREUNDER SHALL BE JOINT AND SEVERAL, AND ACCORDINGLY, EACH GUARANTOR CONFIRMS THAT IT IS LIABLE FOR THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE “GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS” AND ALL OF THE OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF EACH OF THE OTHER GUARANTORS HEREUNDER.

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE PARENT,

THE BORROWER AND THE GUARANTORS

November 20, 2003

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Agent

Two Logan Square, Suite 1750

100-120 North 18 th Street

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103

The Lenders party to the Credit Agreement referred to below

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to PREIT Associates, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Borrower”), Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust, a Pennsylvania business trust (the “Parent”) and the subsidiaries of Parent identified on Annex A attached hereto (collectively, the “Guarantors”, and together with the Borrower and the Parent, the “Loan Parties”) in connection with (a) the negotiation, execution and delivery of that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, the Parent, each of the financial institutions initially a signatory thereto together with their assignees pursuant to Section 11.5.(c) of the Credit Agreement and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Agent (collectively, the “Lenders”) and (b) that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of May 13, 2003 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Parent, Borrower, Crown American Realty Trust (“CART”) and Crown American Properties, L.P. (“CAP”) pursuant to which, among other things, the parties agreed that CART will merge with and into Parent (the “Merger”), subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

In these capacities, we have reviewed copies of the following:

 

  (a) the Credit Agreement;

 

  (b) the Revolving Notes;

 

  (c) the Guaranty;


  (d) the Swingline Note; and

 

  (e) the Funds Transfer Agreement dated as of the date hereof between Borrower and Lender.

The documents and instruments set forth in items (a) through (f) above are referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents”.

In addition to the foregoing, we have reviewed certificates of limited partnership, limited partnership agreements, certificates of formation, certificates of organization, operating agreements or other similar organizational documents, as applicable, of each Loan Party and its respective general partner or sole member and certain resolutions of the board of trustees or other governing body, if applicable, of each Loan Party or its respective general partner or sole member (collectively, the “Organizational Documents”) and have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purposes of rendering this opinion.

The opinions expressed below are limited to (a) the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and (b) the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, the Delaware Limited Partnership Act, the Florida Revised Uniform Partnership Act, the South Carolina Uniform Limited Liability Company Act and the Maryland General Corporation Law as published on-line on LexisNexis as of November 16, 2003 (the foregoing statutes, collectively, the “Acts”). Except for our opinions with respect to the Acts, we express no opinion concerning the laws of any jurisdiction other than Pennsylvania. Our opinions are based upon the assumption that the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the Acts, as set forth above, are applicable to the matters set forth herein.

When we state herein that matters are to our “knowledge,” we mean that we have no actual knowledge of facts which are contrary to the opinion rendered, without having undertaken independent investigation or verification of any such facts. The words “actual knowledge” mean the conscious attention to such information by the Primary Lawyer Group. The phrase “Primary Lawyer Group” includes only attorneys who are currently members of or employed by this firm who have been involved in the preparation of this letter and such other attorneys as have been involved in the representation of Borrower or other Loan Parties in connection with the transaction that is the subject of this letter.

The opinions hereinafter expressed are specifically subject to the following additional assumptions, exceptions and qualifications:

(a) We have made no inquiry or investigation concerning the status, authority to act or authorization of any party participating in the subject transaction or delivering any document in connection therewith other than the Loan Parties.


(b) We have assumed the due authorization, execution and delivery by each party thereto (other than the Loan Parties) of each of the Transaction Documents to be executed and delivered by any of such other parties and the enforceability of the Transaction Documents against such other parties. We have assumed the legal capacity of all individuals executing any of the Transaction Documents.

(c) As to any matters of fact material to the opinions hereafter expressed, we have relied with your permission upon the truth and accuracy of certain representations, warranties and certifications made by the Loan Parties in or pursuant to the Transaction Documents and the Merger Agreement. To the extent that we have relied upon original documents or copies thereof, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to all of the qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Borrower has the power to execute, deliver and perform the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, to own and use its assets, and to conduct its business as, to our knowledge, it is presently conducted and as, to our knowledge, it is proposed to be conducted immediately following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement.

2. The Parent has the power to execute, deliver and perform the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, to own and use its assets, and to conduct its business as, to our knowledge, it is presently conducted and as, to our knowledge, it is proposed to be conducted immediately following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement.

3. Each Guarantor has the power to execute, deliver and perform the Guaranty.

4. Borrower is a limited partnership subsisting and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, based solely on the good standing certificate attached hereto as Annex B.

5. Parent is a business trust subsisting under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, based solely on the subsistence certificate attached hereto as Annex C.

6. Each Guarantor is an entity organized and subsisting and in good standing under the laws of the State of its formation, based solely on the good standing/subsistence certificate for such entity attached hereto as Annex D.


7. Each Loan Party has duly authorized the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the performance of all obligations of such Loan Party thereunder. Each of the Loan Parties and each respective general partner or sole member on behalf of the applicable Loan Parties has duly executed and delivered such Transaction Documents. The individuals executing the Transaction Documents on behalf of the Loan Parties have been duly authorized to do so.

8. The execution and delivery by each of the Loan Parties of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not, and, if each of the Loan Parties were now to perform its obligations under such Transaction Documents, such performance would not, result in any:

(a) violation of any Loan Party’s Organizational Documents;

(b) violation of any existing constitution, statute, regulation, rule, order, or law of Pennsylvania or the United States of America or the Acts, as the case may be, to which any Loan Party or its assets are subject;

(c) breach or violation of or default under, any agreements, instruments, indentures or other documents evidencing any indebtedness for money borrowed or any other material agreement to which, to our knowledge, a Loan Party is bound or under which a Loan Party or its assets is subject;

(d) creation or imposition of a contractual lien or security interest in, on or against the assets of any Loan Party under any material written agreements to which, to our knowledge, any Loan Party is a party or by which any Loan Party or its assets are bound; or

(e) violation of any judicial or administrative decree, writ, judgment or order to which, to our knowledge, any Loan Party or its assets are subject.

9. The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Loan Parties of each Transaction Document to which it is a party, and the consummation of the transactions thereunder, do not and will not require any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or by, any Governmental Authority of the United States of America or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, except filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

10. The Transaction Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of each of the Loan Parties that is signatory thereto, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with their respective terms.

11. To our knowledge, (a) there are no judgments outstanding against any of the Loan Parties or affecting any of their respective assets, nor (b) is there any litigation or other proceeding against any of the Loan Parties or its assets pending or overtly threatened, which, in either event, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


12. None of the Loan Parties is, or, after giving effect to any Loan will be, subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, the Federal Power Act or the Investment Company Act of 1940 or to any federal or Pennsylvania statute or regulation limiting its ability to incur indebtedness for borrowed money.

13. Assuming that Borrower applies the proceeds of the Loans as provided in the Credit Agreement, the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents do not violate the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board.

14. The interest to be paid to the Lender on the Loans pursuant to the Credit Agreement does not violate any law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania relating to interest and civil usury, provided, however, no opinion is expressed as to whether the Pennsylvania criminal usury limits of 25% and/or 36% would be applicable to borrowings under the Transaction Documents.

The foregoing opinions are subject to the further qualifications, limitations and assumptions that:

(A) Our opinion as to the validity and enforceability of the Transaction Documents is subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, receivership, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditor’s rights generally.

(B) The availability and enforceability of particular remedies, and the enforceability of particular provisions or waivers in the relevant documents may be limited by equitable principles and federal bankruptcy law.

(C) We express no opinion as to the availability of the remedy of specific performance.

(D) We express no opinion concerning any provisions of the Transaction Documents which purport to (i) authorize a party to exercise any extra-judicial remedy including self-help, except where permitted by law; (ii) waive personal service of judicial process, right to jury trial, statutes of limitation, or benefit of the automatic stay and other rights under the Federal Bankruptcy Code; (iii) establish evidentiary standards; (iv) waive non-waiveable rights including, without limitation, the obligation to mitigate damages; (v) waive commercial reasonableness; (vi) retain a claim against a guarantor where the primary debtor has been discharged or released or the claim been disallowed; (vii) provide for post-judgment interest in excess of that permitted on judgments in Pennsylvania; (viii) impose late charges, increased rate of interest, penalties or forfeitures upon the occurrence of a default; (ix) provide for the vesting of jurisdiction in, or the consent to the exercise of jurisdiction by, any court where the exercise of jurisdiction is within discretion of such court or the court is not a court of general jurisdiction; or (x) grant an unlimited power of attorney to act on behalf of another party.


This opinion is furnished for the benefit of addressee and its successors and assigns which become holders of the Transaction Documents and may not be used or relied upon by any other person or entity or in connection with any other transaction without our prior written consent.

The number of Units issuable was based on a formula of adjusted funds from operations per share of beneficial interest of Parent during the five-year period. As of October 31, 2003, 665,000 Units have been issued. A special committee of disinterested members of Parent’s Board of Trustees will determine whether the remaining 135,000 Units for the period from January 1, 2002 to September 30, 2002 have been earned. The special committee has retained independent legal and accounting advisors in connection with its review of the payments that may be owed to the former TRO affiliates. The special committee and its advisors and the former TRO affiliates and their advisors have engaged in discussions concerning the appropriate number of Units to be issued in respect of the nine month period ended September 30, 2002.

2. Pursuant to Contribution Agreements by which Parent acquired its rights to Red Rose Commons, the Metroplex Shopping Center, the Christiana Power Center Phase I and Phase II, and the Northeast Tower Center, Borrower is obligated to issue additional Units in an amount to be determined by a special committee of disinterested members of Parent’s Board of Trustees based on the Contribution Agreements under which Parent acquired its interest in the properties and on other factors that the special committee deems relevant. The special committee has retained independent legal and accounting advisors in connection with its review of the payments that may be owed to the former TRO affiliates. The special committee and its advisors and the former TRO affiliates and their advisors have engaged in discussions concerning the appropriate number of Units to be issued in respect of the development and predevelopment properties.

3. As part of Parent’s acquisition of shopping malls from The Rouse Company, on April 28, 2003, Borrower acquired 49% of the aggregate partnership interests in New Castle Associates from partners of New Castle Associates, in exchange for an aggregate of 585,422 Units. Subsequently, Borrower increased its aggregate ownership interest in New Castle Associates to approximately 73% by acquiring an additional ownership interest directly from New Castle Associates in exchange for a cash investment in New Castle Associates of approximately $30.8 million. Borrower also obtained an option, exercisable commencing April 30, 2004 and expiring October 27, 2004, to acquire the remaining interests in New Castle Associates in exchange for an aggregate of 609,317 additional Units. If Borrower does not exercise this option, then the remaining partners of New Castle Associates will have the right, beginning April 28, 2008 and expiring October 25, 2008, to require Borrower to acquire the remaining interests in New Castle Associates in exchange for an aggregate of 670,249 additional Units.

A RTICLE I. D EFINITIONS

Section 1.1. Definitions.

In addition to terms defined elsewhere herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have their respective defined meanings as set forth in Annex I.

Section 1.2. General; References to Times.

Unless otherwise indicated, all accounting terms, ratios and measurements shall be interpreted or determined in accordance with GAAP as in effect as of the Agreement Date; provided, however, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, for purposes of the financial covenants set forth in Section 8.1. of this Agreement, the phrase “Parent and its Subsidiaries determined on a consolidated basis” (and similar phrases having the same meaning) shall not be deemed to include the consolidation of any FIN 46 Entity but shall include a percentage of the assets, liabilities, income or loss attributable to each FIN 46 Entity equal to the Parent’s direct or indirect ownership interest in such entity without regard to FIN 46. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time any change in GAAP, including without limitation, the implementation of FAS 141, would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either the Borrower or the Requisite Lenders shall so request, the Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Requisite Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Borrower shall provide to the Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP. References in this Agreement to “Sections”, “Articles”, “Exhibits” and “Schedules” are to sections, articles, exhibits and schedules herein and hereto unless otherwise indicated. References in this Agreement to any document, instrument or

Wherever from the context it appears appropriate, each term stated in either the singular or plural shall include the singular and plural, and pronouns stated in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, the feminine and the neuter. Unless explicitly set forth to the contrary, a reference to “Subsidiary” means a Subsidiary of the Parent or a Subsidiary of such Subsidiary and a reference to an “Affiliate” means a reference to an Affiliate of the Borrower.

A RTICLE II. C REDIT F ACILITIES

Section 2.1. Term Loans.

(a) Making of Term Loans . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make a Loan to the Borrower on the Effective Date, in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment. Each Base Rate Loan shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each LIBOR Loan shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 in excess of that amount. Once repaid, the principal amount of a Loan may not be reborrowed.

(b) Requests for Loans . Not later than 9:00 a.m. San Francisco time at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Effective Date, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent the Notice of Borrowing. The Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the Borrower. Prior to delivering the Notice of Borrowing, the Borrower may (without specifying whether a Loan will be a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan) request that the Agent provide the Borrower with the most recent LIBOR available to the Agent. The Agent shall provide such quoted rate to the Borrower on the date of such request or as soon as possible thereafter.

(c) Funding of Loans . Each Lender shall deposit an amount equal to the Loan to be made by such Lender to the Borrower with the Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds not later than 9:00 a.m. San Francisco time on the Effective Date. Subject to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, the Agent shall make available to the Borrower at the Principal Office, not later than 12:00 noon San Francisco time on the Effective Date, the proceeds of such amounts received by the Agent. No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.

Section 2.2. Rates and Payment of Interest on Loans.

(a) Rates . The Borrower promises to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loan made by such Lender for the period from and including the date of the making of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following per annum rates:

(i) with respect to any portion of such Loan that is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time), plus the Applicable Margin; and

(ii) with respect to any portion of such Loan that is a LIBOR Loan, at LIBOR for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor (from the first day to, but excluding, the last day of such Interest Period), plus the Applicable Margin.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender interest at the Post-Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan made by such Lender and on any other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder or under the Note held by such Lender to or for the account of such Lender (including without limitation, accrued but unpaid interest to the extent permitted under Applicable Law).

(b) Payment of Interest . All accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Loan shall be payable (i) monthly in arrears on the first day of each month, commencing with the first full month occurring after the Effective Date and (ii) on any date on which the principal balance of such Loan is due and payable in full (whether at maturity, due to acceleration or otherwise). Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand. All determinations by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and the Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 2.3. Number of Interest Periods.

There may be no more than 3 different Interest Periods outstanding at the same time with respect to the Loans.

Section 2.4. Repayment of Loans.

The Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the Loans on the Termination Date.

Section 2.5. Late Charges.

If any payment required under this Agreement is not paid within 10 days after it becomes due and payable, the Requisite Lenders may, by notice to the Borrower, require that the Borrower pay a late charge for late payment to compensate the Lenders for the loss of use of funds and for the expenses of handling the delinquent payment, in an amount not to exceed four percent (4.0%)

 

- 3 -


of such delinquent payment. Such late charge shall be paid in any event not later than the due date of the next subsequent installment of principal and/or interest. In the event the maturity of the Obligations hereunder occurs or is accelerated pursuant to Section 9.2., this Section shall apply only to payments overdue prior to the time of such acceleration. This Section shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the Lenders’ right to accelerate payment of any of the Obligations as permitted under the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.6. Prepayments.

Subject to Section 4.4. and payment of any Fees payable under Section 3.5(c), the Borrower may prepay the Loans, in whole or part, at any time during the period from and including the date one year following the Agreement Date to but excluding the Termination Date. The Borrower shall give the Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice of the prepayment of the Loans. Each voluntary prepayment of the Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if the Loans are being prepaid in full at such time, the prepayment may be in such other amount as is then outstanding.

Section 2.7. Continuation.

So long as no Event of Default exists, the Borrower may on any Business Day, with respect to any LIBOR Loan, elect to maintain such LIBOR Loan or any portion thereof as a LIBOR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan or any portion thereof. Each new Interest Period selected under this Section shall commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period. Each selection of a new Interest Period shall be made by the Borrower giving to the Agent a Notice of Continuation not later than 9:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation. Such notice by the Borrower of a Continuation shall be by telephone or telecopy, confirmed immediately in writing if by telephone, in the form of a Notice of Continuation, specifying (a) the proposed date of such Continuation, (b) the LIBOR Loan and portion thereof subject to such Continuation and (c) the duration of the selected Interest Period, all of which shall be specified in such manner as is necessary to comply with all limitations on Loans outstanding hereunder. Each Notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Continuation, the Agent shall notify each Lender by telecopy, or other similar form of transmission of the proposed Continuation. If the Borrower shall fail to select in a timely manner a new Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan in accordance with this Section, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, Continue as a LIBOR Loan having an Interest Period of one month notwithstanding the Borrower not complying with this Section.

Section 2.8. Conversion.

So long as no Event of Default exists, the Borrower may on any Business Day, upon the Borrower’s giving of a Notice of Conversion to the Agent, Convert all or a portion of a Loan of one Type into a Loan of another Type. Any Conversion of a LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan and, upon

 

- 4 -


Conversion of a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan, the Borrower shall pay accrued interest to the date of Conversion on the principal amount so Converted. Each such Notice of Conversion shall be given not later than 9:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) one Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into Base Rate Loans and three Business Days prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into LIBOR Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion, the Agent shall notify each Lender by telecopy, or other similar form of transmission of the proposed Conversion. Subject to the restrictions specified above, each Notice of Conversion shall be by telephone (confirmed immediately in writing) or telecopy in the form of a Notice of Conversion specifying (a) the requested date of such Conversion, (b) the Type of Loan to be Converted, (c) the portion of such Type of Loan to be Converted, (d) the Type of Loan such Loan is to be Converted into and (e) if such Conversion is into a LIBOR Loan, the requested duration of the Interest Period of such Loan. Each Notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given.

Section 2.9. Notes.

The Loan made by each Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a Note, payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Commitment as originally in effect and otherwise duly completed (or if such Lender was not a Lender on the Effective Date, in a principal amount equal to the initial principal amount of the Loan of such Lender).

Section 2.10. Extension of Termination Date.

The Borrower shall have the right, exercisable one time, to extend the Termination Date by one year. The Borrower may exercise such right only by executing and delivering to the Agent at least 90 days but not more than 180 days prior to the current Termination Date, a written request for such extension (an “Extension Request”). The Agent shall forward to each Lender a copy of the Extension Request received by the Agent promptly upon receipt thereof. Subject to satisfaction of the following conditions, the Termination Date shall be extended for one year: (a) immediately prior to such extension and immediately after giving effect thereto, (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist and (ii) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower and each other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such extension with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date) and (b) the Borrower shall have paid the Fees payable under Section 3.5.(b).

Section 2.11. Joint and Several Liability.

(a) The obligations of each Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to which either Borrower is a party shall be joint and several, and accordingly, each Borrower confirms that it is liable for the full amount of the Obligations, regardless of whether incurred by such Borrower or the other Borrower.

 

- 5 -


(b) Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Agent and the Lenders that each Borrower, though separate legal entities, are mutually dependent on each other in the conduct of their respective businesses as an integrated operation and have determined it to be in their mutual best interests to obtain financing from the Lenders through their collective efforts.

(c) Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be obligated or required before enforcing any Loan Document against a Borrower: (a) to pursue any right or remedy any of them may have against the other Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person or commence any suit or other proceeding against the other Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person in any court or other tribunal; (b) to make any claim in a liquidation or bankruptcy of the other Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person; or (c) to make demand of the other Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person or to enforce or seek to enforce or realize upon any collateral security held by the Agent or any Lender which may secure any of the Obligations.

(d) It is the intent of each Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders that in any proceeding of the types described in Sections 9.1(e) or 9.1(f), a Borrower’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Borrower hereunder to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Borrower in such proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including without limitation, (i) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of 1978 and (ii) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code of 1978 or otherwise. The Applicable Laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such Borrower hereunder shall be determined in any such proceeding are referred to as the “Avoidance Provisions”. Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of either Borrower hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Obligations for which such Borrower shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of such Borrower hereunder, to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. This subsection is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of either Borrower hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Borrower or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

(e) Each Borrower assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the other Borrower, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Borrower assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty whatsoever to advise either Borrower of information regarding such circumstances or risks.

Section 2.12. Actions of the Borrower.

Each Borrower hereby appoints the other Borrower to act as its agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, with respect to all matters related to the borrowing and repayment of Loans). Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (a) one Borrower may execute such documents as such Borrower deems appropriate in its sole discretion, and with respect to any such document executed by only one Borrower, each Borrower shall be bound by and obligated by all of the terms of any such document, (b) any notice or other communication delivered by the Agent or any Lender hereunder to either Borrower shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Borrower and (c) the Agent and the Lenders shall accept (and shall be permitted to rely on) any document or agreement executed by both Borrowers or either Borrower individually. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken by one Borrower without the consent of, or notice to, the other Borrower shall not release or discharge either Borrower from its obligations hereunder.

Section 2.13. Funds Transfer Disbursements.

(a) Generally . The Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent to disburse the proceeds of the Loans made by the Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents as requested by an authorized representative of the Borrower to any of the accounts designated in the Transfer Authorizer Designation Form. The Borrower agrees to be bound by any transfer request: (i) authorized or transmitted by the Borrower; or, (ii) made in the Borrower’s name and accepted by the Agent in good faith and in compliance with these transfer instructions, even if not properly authorized by the Borrower. The Borrower further agrees and acknowledges that the Agent may rely solely on any bank routing number or identifying bank account number or name provided by the Borrower to effect a wire or funds transfer even if the information provided by the Borrower identifies a different bank or account holder than named by the Borrower. The Agent is not obligated or required in any way to take any actions to detect errors in information provided by the Borrower. If the Agent takes any actions in an attempt to detect errors in the transmission or content of transfer or requests or takes any actions in an attempt to detect unauthorized funds transfer requests, the Borrower agrees that no matter how many times the Agent takes these actions the Agent will not in any situation be liable for failing to take or correctly perform these actions in the future and such actions shall not become any part of the transfer disbursement procedures authorized under this provision, the Loan Documents, or any agreement between the Agent and the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to notify the Agent of any errors in the transfer of any funds or of any unauthorized or improperly authorized transfer requests within fourteen (14) days after the Agent’s confirmation to the Borrower of such transfer.

(b) Funds Transfer . The Agent will, in its sole discretion, determine the funds transfer system and the means by which each transfer will be made. The Agent may delay or refuse to accept a funds transfer request if the transfer would: (i) violate the terms of this authorization (ii) require use of a bank unacceptable to the Agent or any Lender or prohibited by any Governmental Authority; (iii) cause the Agent or any Lender to violate any Federal Reserve or other regulatory risk control program or guideline, or (iv) otherwise cause the Agent or any Lender to violate any Applicable Law or regulation.

(c) Limitation of Liability . Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be liable to the Borrower or any other parties for (i) errors, acts or failures to act of others, including other entities, banks, communications carriers or clearinghouses, through which the Borrower’s transfers may be made or information received or transmitted, and no such entity shall be deemed an agent of the Agent or any Lender, (ii) any loss, liability or delay caused by fires, earthquakes, wars, civil disturbances, power surges or failures, acts of government, labor disputes, failures in communications networks, legal constraints or other events beyond the Agent’s or any Lender’s control, or (iii) any special, consequential, indirect or punitive damages, whether or not (x) any claim for these damages is based on tort or contract or (y) the Agent, any Lender or the Borrower knew or should have known the likelihood of these damages in any situation. Neither the Agent nor any Lender makes any representations or warranties other than those expressly made in this Agreement.

Section 2.14. Additional Term Loans.

The Borrower shall have the right up to three times prior to March 20, 2010 to request increases in the aggregate amount of the Loans by providing written notice to the Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable once given. Any such increase in the Loans must be in an aggregate minimum amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser aggregate minimum amount as the Agent and the Borrower may agree); provided, that after giving effect to any such increase pursuant to this Section, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans may not exceed $250,000,000. Any such increase shall be effected either by an existing Lender increasing the principal amount of its Loan or by a Person becoming a Lender hereunder and making a Loan to the Borrower. No existing Lender shall be required to increase the amount of its Loan hereunder and any Person becoming a Lender under this Agreement in connection with any such requested increase must be an Eligible Assignee unless the Agent and the Borrower otherwise agree. No increase in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans may be effected under this Section (x) if a Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such increase, (y) if any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any Loan Document to which any such Loan Party is a party is not (or would not be) true or correct on the effective date of such increase (except to the extent that such representation or warranty expressly relates solely to an earlier date (in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and accurate on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances not prohibited hereunder) or (z) unless prior to, or at the time of, such increase the principal amount of the Loan held by Wells Fargo is $50,000,000 or less. In connection with any increase in the aggregate amount of the Loans pursuant to this subsection, (a) any Lender becoming a party hereto shall execute such documents and agreements as the Agent may reasonably request and (b) the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that each new Lender, and any existing Lender increasing the amount of its Loan, receives a new or replacement Note, as appropriate, in the amount of such Lender’s Loan within 2 Business Days of the effectiveness of the applicable increase.

A RTICLE III. P AYMENTS , F EES AND O THER G ENERAL P ROVISIONS

Section 3.1. Payments.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, to the Agent at the Principal Office, not later than 11:00 a.m. San Francisco time on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Subject to Section 9.4., the Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, specify to the Agent the amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied. Each payment received by the Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by such Lender to the Agent from time to time, for the account of such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender. In the event the Agent fails to pay such amounts to such Lender within one Business Day of receipt of such amounts, the Agent shall pay interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall continue to accrue at the rate, if any, applicable to such payment for the period of such extension.

Section 3.2. Pro Rata Treatment.

Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement: (a) the making of the Loans by the Lenders under Section 2.1. shall be made by the Lenders pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments and the payment of the Fees under Section 3.5.(a), (b) and (c) shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loans by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them; (c) each payment of interest on the Loans by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders; and (d) the Conversion and Continuation of the Loans of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by Section 4.5.) shall be made pro rata among the Lenders according to the principal amounts of their respective Loans and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each Loan of such Type shall be coterminous.

Section 3.3. Sharing of Payments, Etc.

If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, the Loan made by it under this Agreement or shall obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by the Borrower or any other Loan Party through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other

 

- 9 -


payments made by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Lender not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such payment should be distributed to the Lenders in accordance with Section 3.2. or Section 9.4., such Lender shall promptly purchase from such other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans made by the other Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may actually be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.2. or Section 9.4., as applicable. To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower.

Section 3.4. Several Obligations.

No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.

Section 3.5. Fees.

(a) Loan Fees . On the Effective Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent all loan fees as have been agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Agent and as have been agreed to in writing by the Borrower and any Lender.

(b) Extension Fee . If, pursuant to Section 2.10., the Borrower exercises its right to extend the Termination Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender an extension fee equal to 0.25% of the outstanding principal balance of such Lender’s Loan at such time. Such fee shall be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders prior to, and as a condition to, any such extension.

(c) Prepayment Fee . If, pursuant to Section 2.6., the Borrower prepays the Loans, in whole or part at any time prior to March 20, 2010, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender a prepayment fee equal to one-fourth of one percent (0.25%) of the amount of such prepayment. The Borrowers and the Lenders agree that such prepayment fee is a reasonable calculation of the Lenders’ lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an early prepayment of the Loans.

 

- 10 -


(d) Agent’s Fees . The Borrower agrees to pay the administrative and other fees of the Agent as may be agreed to in writing from time to time.

Section 3.6. Computations.

Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan, any Fees or other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed.

Section 3.7. Usury.

In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by the Borrower or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that the Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrower not pay and that the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law. The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest described in Sections 2.2.(a)(i) and (ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, loan fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by the Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Agent or any Lender, are charges made to compensate the Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all fees and all charges, other than charges for the use of money, shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due.

Section 3.8. Statements of Account.

The Agent will account to the Borrower monthly with a statement of Loans, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon the Borrower absent manifest error. The failure of the Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 3.9. Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Defaulting Lender . If for any reason any Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) shall fail or refuse to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party within the time period specified for performance of such obligation or, if no time period is specified, if such failure or refusal continues for a period of 2 Business Days after notice from the Agent, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Agent or the Borrower under this Agreement or Applicable Law, such Defaulting Lender’s right

 

- 11 -


to participate in the administration of the Loans, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any right (i) to vote in respect of, to consent to or to direct any action or inaction of the Agent or in respect of any other matter requiring the vote or consent of all Lenders or Requisite Lenders or (ii) to be taken into account in the calculation of Requisite Lenders, shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal. If for any reason a Lender fails to make timely payment to the Agent of any amount required to be paid to the Agent hereunder (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods), in addition to other rights and remedies which the Agent or the Borrower may have under the immediately preceding provisions or otherwise, the Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting Lender on such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on which the payment is made at the Federal Funds Rate, (ii) to withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. Any amounts received by the Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lender’s Loan shall not be paid to such Defaulting Lender and shall be held by the Agent and paid to such Defaulting Lender upon the Defaulting Lender’s curing of its default.

(b) Assignment of Defaulting Lender’s Loan . The Borrower may demand that a Defaulting Lender, and upon such demand the Defaulting Lender shall promptly, assign its Loan to an Eligible Assignee for a purchase price equal to the principal balance of the Loan then owing to such Defaulting Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to such Defaulting Lender. Upon any such assignment, the Defaulting Lender’s interest in its Loan and its rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect thereof or under the Loan Documents or this Agreement to the extent the same relate to the period prior to the effective date of the purchase) shall terminate on the date of assignment, and the Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the Assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and, notwithstanding Section 11.5.(c), shall pay to the Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $9,000. It shall be the sole responsibility of the Borrower to find an Eligible Assignee willing to acquire the Defaulting Lender’s Loan under this Section and at no time shall the Agent or any Lender be obligated in any way whatsoever to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee or to purchase a Defaulting Lender’s Loan. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this clause shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Agent or any of the other Lenders (excluding the Defaulting Lender). Nothing contained in this Section is intended to limit in any way whatsoever the rights and remedies that the Borrower may have with respect to the Defaulting Lender hereunder or otherwise.

Section 3.10. Taxes.

(a) Taxes Generally . All payments by the Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other Obligations shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future excise, stamp or other taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but

 

- 12 -


excluding (i) franchise taxes, (ii) any taxes (other than withholding taxes) that would not be imposed but for a connection between the Agent or a Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such taxes (other than a connection arising solely by virtue of the activities of the Agent or such Lender pursuant to or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document), (iii) any taxes imposed on or measured by any Lender’s assets, net income, receipts or branch profits and (iv) any taxes arising after the Agreement Date solely as a result of or attributable to a Lender changing its designated Lending Office after the date such Lender becomes a party hereto (such non-excluded items being collectively called “Taxes”). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any Applicable Law, then the Borrower will:

(i) pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

(ii) promptly forward to the Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Agent evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority; and

(iii) pay to the Agent for its account or the account of the applicable Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Agent or such Lender will equal the full amount that the Agent or such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

(b) Tax Indemnification . If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to the Agent, for its account or the account of the respective Lender, as the case may be, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and the Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section, a distribution hereunder by the Agent or any Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower.

(c) Tax Forms . Prior to the date that any Lender or Participant organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States of America becomes a party hereto, such Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Internal Revenue Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto (including Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI and W-8BEN, as applicable, or appropriate successor forms), properly completed, currently effective and duly executed by such Lender or Participant establishing that payments to it hereunder and under the Notes are (i) not subject to United States Federal backup withholding tax and (ii) not subject to United States Federal withholding tax under the Code. Each such Lender or Participant shall (x) deliver further copies of such forms or other appropriate certifications on or before the date that any such forms expire or become obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form delivered to the Borrower and (y) obtain such extensions of the time for filing, and renew such forms and certifications thereof, as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount pursuant to last sentence of

 

- 13 -


subsection (a) above to any Lender or Participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America or the Agent, if it is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America, if such Lender, Participant or the Agent, as applicable, fails to comply with the requirements of this subsection. If any such Lender or Participant fails to deliver the above forms or other documentation, then the Agent may withhold from such payment to such Lender such amounts as are required by the Code. If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including all fees and disbursements of any law firm or other external counsel and the allocated cost of internal legal services and all disbursements of internal counsel) of the Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive repayment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.

A RTICLE IV. Y IELD P ROTECTION , E TC .

Section 4.1. Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) Additional Costs . The Borrower shall promptly pay to the Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may reasonably determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it reasonably determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its LIBOR Loans (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the overall net income of such Lender or of its Lending Office for any of such LIBOR Loans by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or such Lending Office), or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (excluding Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy).

(b) Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsection (a), if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that

 

- 14 -


includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes LIBOR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), the obligation of such Lender to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 4.5. shall apply).

(c) Notification and Determination of Additional Costs . Each of the Agent and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling the Agent or such Lender to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or any Lender to give such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder. The Agent and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to furnish to the Borrower (and in the case of a Lender to the Agent as well) a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request for compensation under this Section. Determinations by the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

Section 4.2. Suspension of LIBOR Loans.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of any LIBOR for any Interest Period:

(a) the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for LIBOR Loans as provided herein or is otherwise unable to determine LIBOR, or

(b) the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined are not likely to adequately cover the cost to any Lender of maintaining LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period;

then the Agent shall give the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, Continue LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans and the Borrower shall, on the last day of each current Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, either prepay such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.

 

- 15 -


Section 4.3. Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy of such notice to the Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 4.5. shall be applicable).

Section 4.4. Compensation.

The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through the Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense that such Lender reasonably determines is attributable to:

(a) any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR Loan, or Conversion of a LIBOR Loan, made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

(b) any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Article V. to be satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan or Continue a LIBOR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation.

Not in limitation of the foregoing, such compensation shall include, without limitation; in the case of a LIBOR Loan, an amount equal to the then present value of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on such LIBOR Loan for the remainder of the Interest Period at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loan, less (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same LIBOR Loan for the same period if LIBOR were set on the date on which such LIBOR Loan was repaid, prepaid or Converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, Convert or Continue such LIBOR Loan, as applicable, calculating present value by using as a discount rate LIBOR quoted on such date plus the Applicable Margin. Upon the Borrower’s request (made through the Agent), any Lender seeking compensation under this Section shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Any such statement shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 4.5. Treatment of Affected Loans.

If the obligation of any Lender to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1.(b), Section 4.2., or Section 4.3. then such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last

 

- 16 -


day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 4.1.(b), Section 4.2., or Section 4.3. on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 4.1., Section 4.2., or Section 4.3. that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

(a) to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and

(b) all Loans that would otherwise be Continued by such Lender as LIBOR Loans shall be Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

If such Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 4.1. or Section 4.3. that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amount of the Loans held by each of the Lenders.

Section 4.6. Affected Lenders.

If (a) a Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.10. or 4.1., and the Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same, or (b) the obligation of any Lender to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1., 4.2. or 4.3. but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended under such Sections, then, so long as there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, the Borrower may demand that such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly assign its Loan to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.5.(c) for a purchase price equal to the principal balance of the Loan then owing to the Affected Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender. Each of the Agent, the Borrower and the Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section, but at no time shall the Agent, such Affected Lender nor any other Lender be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders. The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit the Borrower’s obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to Section 3.10. or 4.1.

 

- 17 -


Section 4.7. Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Loans.

Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Article IV. shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded LIBOR Loans through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loans in an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loans and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article IV.

Section 4.8. Change of Lending Office.

Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any portion of its Loan affected by the matters or circumstances described in Sections 3.10., 4.1. or 4.3. to reduce the liability of the Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America.

Regardless of whether the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are consummated, each Lender agrees to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent (in its capacity as Agent but not as a “Lender”) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of

 

- 52 -


such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to the Agent) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Agent that the Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.

Section 10.8. Successor Agent.

The Agent may resign at any time as Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the current Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the current Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Agent, and the current Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article X. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its affiliates by giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice.

Section 10.9. Titled Agents.

The Lead Arranger, in such capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The title given to the Lead Arranger is solely honorific and implies no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Lead Arranger to the Agent, any Lender, the Borrower or any other Loan Party and the use of such title does not impose on the Lead Arranger any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Lead Arranger to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.

Promptly following any such set-off the Agent shall notify the Borrower thereof and of the application of such set-off, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not invalidate such set-off.

Section 11.4. Litigation; Jurisdiction; Other Matters; Waivers.

(a) EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE PARENT, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE AGENT, THE PARENT AND THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.3., no Participant shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the

 

- 57 -


Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, however, such Lender may agree with the Participant that it will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase the principal amount of such Lender’s Loan (unless such increase will not result in a increase in the Participant’s share), (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender, or (iii) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) or (d) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b). The selling Lender shall promptly notify the Agent and the Borrower of the sale of any participation hereunder and the terms thereof.

(c) Assignments . Any Lender may with the prior written consent of the Agent and the Borrower (which consent in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld) at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignee (each an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes; provided, however, (i) no such consent by the Borrower shall be required (x) if a Default or Event of Default shall exist or (y) in the case of an assignment to another Lender, to an affiliate of the assigning Lender or to an affiliate of another Lender; (ii) any partial assignment shall be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000 and after giving effect to such assignment the assigning Lender retains a portion of its Loan having a principal amount of at least $10,000,000, or in either case, such lesser amount to which the Agent and, subject to the immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrower may agree; (iii) each such assignment shall be effected by means of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement and (iv) such Lender must give the Agent at least 10 days (or such shorter period as the Agent may agree in its sole discretion) prior written notice of any such assignment. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be deemed to be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Loan as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor Lender, the Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes are issued to the Assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Lender shall pay to the Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $4,500.

The Register and copies of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice to the Agent. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed by an assigning Lender, together with each Note subject to such assignment (a “Surrendered Note”), the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement has been completed and if the Agent receives the processing and recording fee described in subsection (c) above, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof, and return each Surrendered Note, to the Borrower.

(e) Federal Reserve Bank Assignments .

To facilitate any such pledge or assignment, Agent shall, at the request of such Lender, enter into a letter agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank in, or substantially in, the form of the exhibit to Appendix C to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York Operating Circular No 10, as amended from time to time.

(b) Unanimous Consent . Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing, and signed by all of the Lenders other than any Defaulting Lender (or the Agent at the written direction of the Lenders other than any Defaulting Lender), do any of the following:

- 60 -


impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein.

The relationship between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Agent, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Agent or any Lender to any Lender, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party.

Section 11.9. Indemnification.

(a) The Borrower shall and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Agent, any affiliate of the Agent, and each of the Lenders and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, agents, employees and counsel (each referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses of every kind and nature (including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, court costs and the fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding or any advice rendered in connection therewith) incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of, or by reason of, any suit, cause of action, claim, arbitration, investigation or settlement, consent decree or other proceeding (the foregoing referred to herein as an “Indemnity Proceeding”) which is in any way related directly or indirectly to: (i) this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; (ii) the making of any Loans; (iii) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower of the proceeds of the Loans; (iv) the Agent’s or any Lender’s entering into this Agreement; (v) the fact that the Agent and the Lenders have established the credit facility evidenced hereby in favor of the Borrower; (vi) the fact that the Agent and the Lenders are creditors of the Borrower and have or are alleged to have information regarding the financial condition, strategic plans or business operations of the Parent, the Borrower and the other Subsidiaries; (vii) the fact that the Agent and the Lenders are material creditors of the Borrower and are alleged to influence directly or indirectly the business decisions or affairs of the Parent, the Borrower and the other Subsidiaries or their financial condition; (viii) the exercise of any right or remedy the Agent or the Lenders may have under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any acts or omissions of such Indemnified Party in connection with matters described in clause (i) and this clause (viii) to the extent found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (ix) any violation or non-compliance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Applicable Law (including any Environmental Law) including, but not limited to, any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by (A) the Internal Revenue Service or state taxing authority or (B) any Governmental Authority or other Person under any Environmental Law, including any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by a Governmental Authority or other Person seeking remedial or other action to cause the Borrower or its Subsidiaries (or its respective properties) (or the Agent and/or the Lenders as successors to the Borrower) to be in compliance with such Environmental Laws.

(b) The Borrower’s indemnification obligations under this Section shall apply to all Indemnity Proceedings arising out of, or related to, the foregoing whether or not an Indemnified Party is a named party in such Indemnity Proceeding. In this connection, this indemnification shall cover all costs and expenses of any Indemnified Party in connection with any deposition of any Indemnified Party or compliance with any subpoena (including any subpoena requesting the production of documents).

If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower hereunder are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law. The Borrower’s obligations hereunder are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any other obligation in respect of indemnification contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 11.11. Severability of Provisions.

Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 6. Covenants . Each Guarantor will comply with all covenants which the Borrower is to cause such Guarantor to comply with under the terms of the Term Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

Section 7. Waiver . Each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any manner or to any extent might vary the risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to discharge such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.

Section 8. Inability to Accelerate Loan . If the Agent and/or the other Guarantied Parties are prevented under Applicable Law or otherwise from demanding or accelerating payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations by reason of any automatic stay or otherwise, the Agent and/or the other Guarantied Parties shall be entitled to receive from each Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due had such demand or acceleration occurred.

Section 9. Reinstatement of Guarantied Obligations . If claim is ever made on the Agent or any other Guarantied Party for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, and the Agent or such other Guarantied Party repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Agent or such other Guarantied Party with any such claimant (including the Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy for the Borrower), then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of the Term Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, any Interest Rate Agreement

 

B-4


between the Borrower and any Guarantied Party, or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the Agent or such other Guarantied Party for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid to the Agent or such other Guarantied Party.

Section 10. Subrogation . Each Guarantor hereby forever waives to the fullest extent possible any and all claims such Guarantor may have against the Borrower arising out of any payment by such Guarantor to the Agent and the other Guarantied Parties of any of the obligations pursuant to this Guaranty, including, but not limited to, all such claims of such Guarantor arising out of any right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement, contribution, exoneration, payment or any other claim, cause of action, right or remedy against the Borrower, whether such claim arises at law, in equity, or out of any written or oral agreement between or among such Guarantor, the Borrower or otherwise. The waivers set forth above are intended by each Guarantor, the Agent and the other Guarantied Parties to be for the benefit of the Borrower, and such waivers shall be enforceable by the Borrower, or any of their successors or assigns, as an absolute defense to any action by such Guarantor against the Borrower or the assets of the Borrower, which action arises out of any payment by the Borrower to the Agent or other Guarantied Parties upon any of these obligations. The waivers set forth herein may not be revoked by any Guarantor without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Borrower.

Section 11. Payments Free and Clear . All sums payable by each Guarantor hereunder, whether of principal, interest, fees, expenses, premiums or otherwise, shall be paid in full, without set-off or counterclaim or any deduction or withholding whatsoever (including any Taxes), and if such Guarantor is required by Applicable Law or by any Governmental Authority to make any such deduction or withholding, provided the requirements set forth in Section 3.10 of the Term Loan Agreement are satisfied, such Guarantor shall pay to the Agent and the Lenders such additional amount as will result in the receipt by the Agent and the Lenders of the full amount payable hereunder had such deduction or withholding not occurred or been required.

Section 12. Set-off . In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any of the other Loan Documents or Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Guarantor hereby authorizes the Agent and each other Guarantied Party, at any time or from time to time, during the continuance of any Event of Default without any prior notice to such Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender or its Affiliate, subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Agent exercised in its sole discretion, to set-off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Agent, such Lender or any Affiliate of the Agent or such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor against and on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Each Guarantor agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, that any Participant may exercise rights of setoff or counterclaim and other rights with respect to its participation as fully as if such Participant were a direct creditor of such Guarantor in the amount of such participation.

 

B-5


Section 13. Subordination . Each Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Agent and the other Guarantied Parties that all obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to such Guarantor of whatever description, including without limitation, all intercompany receivables of such Guarantor from the Borrower (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Guarantied Obligations. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then no Guarantor shall accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property, securities by setoff or otherwise) from the Borrower on account of or in any manner in respect of any Junior Claim until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.

Section 14. Avoidance Provisions . It is the intent of each Guarantor, the Agent and the other Guarantied Parties that in any Proceeding, such Guarantor’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the other Guarantied Parties) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Guarantor in such Proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including without limitation, (a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”) and (b) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such Proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The Applicable Laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the other Guarantied Parties) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred to as the “Avoidance Provisions”. Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Guarantied Obligations for which such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Guarantied Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the other Guarantied Parties), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Agent and the other Guarantied Parties hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Guarantor or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Agent and the other Guarantied Parties that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

Section 15. Information . Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Loan Parties, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Agent nor any other Guarantied Party shall have any duty whatsoever to advise any Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances or risks.

Section 16. Governing Law . THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH COMMONWEALTH.

(a) We have made no inquiry or investigation concerning the status, authority to act or authorization of any party participating in the subject transaction or delivering any document in connection therewith other than the Loan Parties.

(b) We have assumed the due authorization, execution and delivery by each party thereto (other than the Loan Parties) of each of the Transaction Documents to be executed and delivered by any of such other parties and the enforceability of the Transaction Documents against such other parties. We have assumed the legal capacity of all individuals executing any of the Transaction Documents.

(c) As to any matters of fact material to the opinions hereafter expressed, we have relied with your permission upon the truth and accuracy of certain representations, warranties and certifications made by the Loan Parties in or pursuant to the Transaction Documents. To the extent that we have relied upon original documents or copies thereof, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies.

(d) Our opinion in paragraph 11 below is based on the assumption that PREIT has rights in the collateral described in the Security Agreement.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to all of the qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. Each Borrower has the power to execute, deliver and perform the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, to own and use its assets, and to conduct its business as, to our knowledge, it is presently conducted and as, to our knowledge, it is proposed to be conducted immediately following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Term Loan Agreement.

2. The Parent has the power to execute, deliver and perform the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, to own and use its assets, and to conduct its business as, to our knowledge, it is presently conducted and as, to our knowledge, it is proposed to be conducted immediately following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Term Loan Agreement.

3. Each Guarantor has the power to execute, deliver and perform the Guaranty.

4. PREIT is a limited partnership subsisting and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and PREIT-RUBIN is a corporation subsisting and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, based solely on the good standing certificate and subsistence certificate, respectively, identified on Annex B.

5. Parent is a business trust subsisting under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, based solely on the subsistence certificate identified on Annex C.

6. Each Guarantor is an entity organized and subsisting and in good standing under the laws of the State of its formation, based solely on the good standing/subsistence certificate or CT Corporation Status Report for such entity identified on Annex D.

7. Each Loan Party has duly authorized the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the performance of all obligations of such Loan Party thereunder. Each of the Loan Parties and each respective general partner or sole member on behalf of the applicable Loan Parties has duly executed and delivered such Transaction Documents. The individuals executing the Transaction Documents on behalf of the Loan Parties and each respective general partner or sole member of the Loan Parties, as the case may be, have been duly authorized to do so.

8. The execution and delivery by each of the Loan Parties of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not, and, if each of the Loan Parties were now to perform its obligations under such Transaction Documents, such performance would not, result in any:

(a) violation of any Loan Party’s Organizational Documents;

(b) violation of any existing constitution, statute, regulation, rule, order, or law of Pennsylvania or the United States of America or the Acts, as the case may be, to which any Loan Party or its assets are subject;

(c) breach or violation of or default under, any agreements, instruments, indentures or other documents evidencing any indebtedness for money borrowed or any other material agreement to which, to our knowledge, a Loan Party is bound or under which a Loan Party or its assets is subject;

(d) creation or imposition of a contractual lien or security interest in, on or against the assets of any Loan Party under any material written agreements to which, to our knowledge, any Loan Party is a party or by which any Loan Party or its assets are bound; or

 

G-4

(e) violation of any judicial or administrative decree, writ, judgment or order to which, to our knowledge, any Loan Party or its assets are subject.

9. The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Loan Parties of each Transaction Document to which it is a party, and the consummation of the transactions thereunder, do not and will not require any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or by, any Governmental Authority of the United States of America or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, except filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

10. The Transaction Documents other than the Securities Account Control Agreement constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of each of the Loan Parties that is signatory thereto, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with their respective terms.

11. The Securities Account Control Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by PREIT, and, if, notwithstanding the parties’ choice of Minnesota law in the Securities Account Control Agreement, the Securities Account Control Agreement were governed by Pennsylvania law, it would be enforceable in accordance with its terms. The Security Agreement creates a valid security interest in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in all of the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) in which a security interest may be created under Article 9 the Uniform Commercial Code (the “Article 9 Collateral”) as currently in effect in the State of Delaware (the “Code”). The filing of the UCC-1 with the Secretary of State of Delaware is sufficient to perfect such security interest in the Article 9 Collateral to the extent such security interest may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under the Code, recognizing, however, that a security interest in a securities account perfected by control under the Code has priority over a lien perfected only by filing.

12. To our knowledge, (a) there are no judgments outstanding against any of the Loan Parties or affecting any of their respective assets, nor (b) is there any litigation or other proceeding against any of the Loan Parties or its assets pending or overtly threatened, which, in either event, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

13. None of the Loan Parties is, or, after giving effect to any Loan will be, subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or to any federal or Pennsylvania statute or regulation limiting its ability to incur indebtedness for borrowed money.

14. Assuming that Borrower applies the proceeds of the Loans as provided in the Term Loan Agreement, the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents do not violate the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board.

15. The interest to be paid to the Lender on the Loans pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement does not violate any law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania relating to interest and civil usury, provided, however, no opinion is expressed as to whether the Pennsylvania criminal usury limits of 25% and/or 36% would be applicable to borrowings under the Transaction Documents.

The foregoing opinions are subject to the further qualifications, limitations and assumptions that:

(A) Our opinion as to the validity and enforceability of the Transaction Documents is subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, receivership, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditor’s rights generally.

(B) The availability and enforceability of particular remedies, and the enforceability of particular provisions or waivers in the relevant documents may be limited by equitable principles and federal bankruptcy law.

(C) We express no opinion as to the availability of the remedy of specific performance.

(D) We express no opinion concerning any provisions of the Transaction Documents which purport to (i) authorize a party to exercise any extra-judicial remedy including self-help, except where permitted by law; (ii) waive personal service of judicial process, right to jury trial, statutes of limitation, or benefit of the automatic stay and other rights under the Federal Bankruptcy Code; (iii) establish evidentiary standards; (iv) waive non-waiveable rights including, without limitation, the obligation to mitigate damages; (v) waive commercial reasonableness; (vi) retain a claim against a guarantor where the primary debtor has been discharged or released or the claim been disallowed; (vii) provide for post-judgment interest in excess of that permitted on judgments in Pennsylvania; (viii) impose late charges, increased rate of interest, penalties or forfeitures upon the occurrence of a default; (ix) provide for the vesting of jurisdiction in, or the consent to the exercise of jurisdiction by, any court where the exercise of jurisdiction is within discretion of such court or the court is not a court of general jurisdiction; or (x) grant an unlimited power of attorney to act on behalf of another party.

This opinion is furnished for the benefit of addressee and its successors and assigns which become holders of the Transaction Documents and may not be used or relied upon by any other person or entity or in connection with any other transaction without our prior written consent. The opinions given herein are as of the date hereof, limited by facts, circumstances and laws in effect on such date, and by rendering this opinion we undertake no obligation to advise the addressee or any other party entitled to rely on this opinion with the respect to any changes therein. Our opinions as to

 

G-6


September 3, 2008

Page 7 of 7

qualification and good standing in paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 hereof are as of the date of the good standing/subsistence certificates identified on Annexes B, C and D, respectively. Our opinion in paragraph 13 insofar as it relates to PR Lycoming Services Associates (“LSA”) is based on the representations of Parent that its subsidiaries are in compliance with applicable law and that LSA does not hold a certificate of public convenience from the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission or equivalent Federal agency. We have no actual knowledge of facts which contradicts the representations in the preceding sentence.

 

Very truly yours,

WHEREAS, the Parent is the sole general partner of the Borrower;

WHEREAS, each other Guarantor is a Subsidiary of the Borrower or the Parent;

WHEREAS, the Borrower, each Guarantor and the other Loan Parties, though separate legal entities, are mutually dependent on each other in the conduct of their respective businesses as an integrated operation and have determined it to be in their mutual best interests to obtain financing from the Agent and the Lenders through their collective efforts;

WHEREAS, each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the Agent and the Lenders making such financial accommodations available to the Borrower under the Term Loan Agreement and from the Guarantied Parties’ entering into Interest Rate Agreements with any Borrower, and accordingly, each such Guarantor is willing to guarantee certain of the Borrower’s obligations to the Agent and the Lenders and each Guarantor is willing to guarantee the Borrower’s obligations to the Guarantied Parties under any Interest Rate Agreement, in each case, on the terms and conditions contained herein; and

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Term Loan Agreement and the extension of financial accommodations under the Term Loan Agreement and to any Guarantied Party’s entering into any Interest Rate Agreement with the Borrower, that the Guarantors execute and deliver this Agreement;


NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each Guarantor, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

Section 1. Guaranty . Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranties the due and punctual payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all of the following (collectively referred to as the “Guarantied Obligations”): (a) all indebtedness and obligations owing by the Borrower to any Lender or the Agent under or in connection with the Term Loan Agreement and any other Loan Document to which the Borrower is a party, including without limitation, the repayment of all principal of the Loans and the payment of all interest, fees, charges, reasonable attorneys fees and other amounts payable to any Lender or the Agent thereunder or in connection therewith; (b) any and all extensions, renewals, modifications, amendments or substitutions of the foregoing; (c) all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that are incurred by the Lenders and the Agent in the enforcement of any of the foregoing or any obligation of such Guarantor hereunder and (d) all obligations and liabilities of the Borrower owing to any Guarantied Party under any Interest Rate Agreement to which the Borrower is party; and (e) all other Obligations.

Section 2. Guaranty of Payment and Not of Collection . This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment, and not of collection, and a debt of each Guarantor for its own account. Accordingly, the Guarantied Parties shall not be obligated or required before enforcing this Guaranty against any Guarantor: (a) to pursue any right or remedy the Guarantied Parties may have against any Loan Party or any other Person or commence any suit or other proceeding against any Loan Party or any other Person in any court or other tribunal; (b) to make any claim in a liquidation or bankruptcy of any Loan Party or any other Person; or (c) to make demand of any Loan Party or any other Person or to enforce or seek to enforce or realize upon any collateral security held by the Guarantied Parties which may secure any of the Guarantied Obligations.

Section 3. Guaranty Absolute . Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guarantied Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the documents evidencing the same, regardless of any Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Agent or the other Guarantied Parties with respect thereto. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including without limitation, the following (whether or not such Guarantor consents thereto or has notice thereof):

(a)(i) any change in the amount, interest rate or due date or other term of any of the Guarantied Obligations, (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of all or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations, (iii) any amendment or waiver of, or consent to the departure from or other indulgence with respect to, the Term Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Interest Rate Agreement between the Borrower and any Guarantied Party, or any other document or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guarantied Obligations, or (iv) any waiver, renewal, extension, addition, or supplement to, or deletion from, or any other action or inaction under or in respect of, the Term Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Guarantied Obligations or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Guarantied Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;


(b) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Term Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, any Interest Rate Agreement between the Borrower and any Guarantied Party, or any other document, instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Guarantied Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;

(c) any furnishing to the Agent or any other Guarantied Party of any security for the Guarantied Obligations, or any sale, exchange, release or surrender of, or realization on, any collateral securing any of the Guarantied Obligations;

(d) any settlement or compromise of any of the Guarantied Obligations, any security therefor, or any liability of any other party with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, or any subordination of the payment of the Guarantied Obligations to the payment of any other liability of any Loan Party;

(e) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to such Loan Party or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding;

(f) any invalidity or nonperfection of any security interest or lien on, or any other impairment of, any collateral securing any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any failure of the Agent or any other Person to preserve any such collateral security or any other impairment of any such collateral;

(g) any act or failure to act by any Loan Party or any other Person which may adversely affect such Guarantor’s subrogation rights, if any, against such Loan Party to recover payments made under this Guaranty;

(h) any application of sums paid by any Loan Party or any other Person with respect to the liabilities of the Borrower to the Agent or other Guarantied Parties, regardless of what liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid;


(i) any defect, limitation or insufficiency in the borrowing powers of the Borrower or in the exercise thereof; or

(j) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, a Guarantor hereunder (other than termination of this Guaranty as provided in Section 20. hereof).

Section 4. Action with Respect to Guarantied Obligations . The Guarantied Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without discharging any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder take any and all actions described in Section 3. and may otherwise: (a) amend, modify, alter or supplement the terms of any of the Guarantied Obligations, including, but not limited to, extending or shortening the time of payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations or changing the interest rate that may accrue on any of the Guarantied Obligations; (b) amend, modify, alter or supplement the Term Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any Interest Rate Agreement between the Borrower and any Guarantied Party; (c) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with all, or any part, of any collateral securing any of the Guarantied Obligations; (d) release any Loan Party or other Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Guarantied Obligations; (e) exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights against any Loan Party or any other Person; and (f) apply any sum, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the Guarantied Obligations in such order as the Guarantied Parties shall elect.

Section 5. Representations and Warranties . Each Guarantor hereby makes to the Agent and the other Guarantied Parties all of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower with respect to or in any way relating to such Guarantor in the Term Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or Interest Rate Agreement between the Borrower and any Guarantied Party, as if the same were set forth herein in full.

Section 6. Covenants . Each Guarantor will comply with all covenants which the Borrower is to cause such Guarantor to comply with under the terms of the Term Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

Section 7. Waiver . Each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any manner or to any extent might vary the risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to discharge such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.

Section 8. Inability to Accelerate Loan . If the Agent and/or the other Guarantied Parties are prevented under Applicable Law or otherwise from demanding or accelerating payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations by reason of any automatic stay or otherwise, the Agent and/or the other Guarantied Parties shall be entitled to receive from each Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due had such demand or acceleration occurred.


Section 9. Reinstatement of Guarantied Obligations . If claim is ever made on the Agent or any other Guarantied Party for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, and the Agent or such other Guarantied Party repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Agent or such other Guarantied Party with any such claimant (including the Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy for the Borrower), then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of the Term Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, any Interest Rate Agreement between the Borrower and any Guarantied Party, or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the Agent or such other Guarantied Party for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid to the Agent or such other Guarantied Party.

Section 10. Subrogation . Each Guarantor hereby forever waives to the fullest extent possible any and all claims such Guarantor may have against the Borrower arising out of any payment by such Guarantor to the Agent and the other Guarantied Parties of any of the obligations pursuant to this Guaranty, including, but not limited to, all such claims of such Guarantor arising out of any right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement, contribution, exoneration, payment or any other claim, cause of action, right or remedy against the Borrower, whether such claim arises at law, in equity, or out of any written or oral agreement between or among such Guarantor, the Borrower or otherwise. The waivers set forth above are intended by each Guarantor, the Agent and the other Guarantied Parties to be for the benefit of the Borrower, and such waivers shall be enforceable by the Borrower, or any of their successors or assigns, as an absolute defense to any action by such Guarantor against the Borrower or the assets of the Borrower, which action arises out of any payment by the Borrower to the Agent or other Guarantied Parties upon any of these obligations. The waivers set forth herein may not be revoked by any Guarantor without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Borrower.

Section 11. Payments Free and Clear . All sums payable by each Guarantor hereunder, whether of principal, interest, fees, expenses, premiums or otherwise, shall be paid in full, without set-off or counterclaim or any deduction or withholding whatsoever (including any Taxes), and if such Guarantor is required by Applicable Law or by any Governmental Authority to make any such deduction or withholding, provided the requirements set forth in Section 3.10 of the Term Loan Agreement are satisfied, such Guarantor shall pay to the Agent and the Lenders such additional amount as will result in the receipt by the Agent and the Lenders of the full amount payable hereunder had such deduction or withholding not occurred or been required.


Section 12. Set-off . In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any of the other Loan Documents or Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Guarantor hereby authorizes the Agent and each other Guarantied Party, at any time or from time to time, during the continuance of any Event of Default without any prior notice to such Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender or its Affiliate, subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Agent exercised in its sole discretion, to set-off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Agent, such Lender or any Affiliate of the Agent or such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor against and on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Each Guarantor agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, that any Participant may exercise rights of setoff or counterclaim and other rights with respect to its participation as fully as if such Participant were a direct creditor of such Guarantor in the amount of such participation.

Section 13. Subordination . Each Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Agent and the other Guarantied Parties that all obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to such Guarantor of whatever description, including without limitation, all intercompany receivables of such Guarantor from the Borrower (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Guarantied Obligations. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then no Guarantor shall accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property, securities by setoff or otherwise) from the Borrower on account of or in any manner in respect of any Junior Claim until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.

Section 14. Avoidance Provisions . It is the intent of each Guarantor, the Agent and the other Guarantied Parties that in any Proceeding, such Guarantor’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the other Guarantied Parties) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Guarantor in such Proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including without limitation, (a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”) and (b) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such Proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The Applicable Laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the other Guarantied Parties) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred to as the “Avoidance Provisions”. Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Guarantied Obligations for which such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Guarantied Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the other Guarantied Parties), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance


Provisions. This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Agent and the other Guarantied Parties hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Guarantor or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Agent and the other Guarantied Parties that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

Section 15. Information . Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Loan Parties, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Agent nor any other Guarantied Party shall have any duty whatsoever to advise any Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances or risks.

Section 16. Governing Law . THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH COMMONWEALTH.

SECTION 17. LITIGATION; JURISDICTION; OTHER MATTERS; WAIVERS .

(a) EACH GUARANTOR, AND EACH OF THE AGENT AND THE OTHER GUARANTIED PARTIES BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS HEREOF, ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER GUARANTIED PARTIES WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE AGENT, THE OTHER GUARANTIED PARTIES AND EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY COLLATERAL OR ANY LIEN OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE.

(b) EACH GUARANTOR, THE AGENT, AND EACH OTHER GUARANTIED PARTY BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS HEREOF, HEREBY AGREES THAT THE FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA OR, AT THE OPTION OF THE AGENT, ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN PHILADELPHIA COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, SHALL HAVE


JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE AGENT, OR ANY OF THE OTHER GUARANTIED PARTIES, PERTAINING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS GUARANTY, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING HEREFROM OR THEREFROM OR THE COLLATERAL. EACH GUARANTOR AND EACH OF THE GUARANTIED PARTIES EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS.

(c) EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME.

(d) THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE AGENT OR ANY OTHER GUARANTIED PARTY OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

(e) THE FOREGOING WAIVERS HAVE BEEN MADE WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTY.

Section 18. Loan Accounts . The Agent and each Lender may maintain books and accounts setting forth the amounts of principal, interest and other sums paid and payable with respect to the Guarantied Obligations arising under or in connection with the Term Loan Agreement, and in the case of any dispute relating to any of the Guarantied Obligations or otherwise, the entries in such books and accounts shall constitute prima facie evidence of the outstanding amount of such Guarantied Obligations and the amounts paid and payable with respect thereto absent manifest error. The failure of the Agent or any Lender to maintain such books and accounts shall not in any way relieve or discharge any Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 19. Waiver of Remedies . No delay or failure on the part of the Agent or any other Guarantied Party in the exercise of any right or remedy it may have against any Guarantor hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Agent or any other Guarantied Party of any such right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right or remedy.

Section 20. Termination . This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations and the other Obligations and the termination or cancellation of the Term Loan Agreement and all Interest Rate Agreements between the Borrower and any Guarantied Party.


Section 21. Successors and Assigns . Each reference herein to the Agent or any other Guarantied Party shall be deemed to include such Person’s respective successors and assigns (including, but not limited to, any holder of the Guarantied Obligations) in whose favor the provisions of this Guaranty also shall inure, and each reference herein to each Guarantor shall be deemed to include such Guarantor’s successors and assigns, upon whom this Guaranty also shall be binding. The Guarantied Parties may, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Term Loan Agreement and any Interest Rate Agreement between the Borrower and any Guarantied Party, assign, transfer or sell any Guarantied Obligations, or grant or sell participations in any Guarantied Obligation, to any Person without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor and without releasing, discharging or modifying any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. Each Guarantor hereby consents to the delivery by the Agent or any other Guarantied Party to any Assignee or Participant (or any prospective Assignee or Participant) of any financial or other information regarding any Loan Party. No Guarantor may assign or transfer its obligations hereunder to any Person without the prior written consent of all Lenders and any such assignment or other transfer to which all of the Lenders have not so consented shall by null and void.

Section 22. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS . THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE GUARANTORS HEREUNDER SHALL BE JOINT AND SEVERAL, AND ACCORDINGLY, EACH GUARANTOR CONFIRMS THAT IT IS LIABLE FOR THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE “GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS” AND ALL OF THE OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF EACH OF THE OTHER GUARANTORS HEREUNDER.

Section 23. Amendments . This Guaranty may not be amended except in writing signed by the Agent and each Guarantor.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Transaction shall be the only transaction under the Agreement.

  (n) Without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, Counterparty acknowledges that Dealer is not making any representations or warranties with respect to the treatment of the Transaction under FASB Statements 133, as amended, or 150, EITF Issue No. 00-19 (or any successor issue statements) or under FASB’s Liabilities & Equity Project.

 

  (o) Positions held by Dealer or any of its affiliates solely in its capacity as a nominee or fiduciary and in which the Dealer and its affiliates possess no direct or indirect economic interest, other than, for the avoidance of doubt customary fiduciary, custodial and management fees, do not constitute actual ownership, Beneficial Ownership (as such term is defined in the Trust Agreement) or Constructive Ownership (as such term is defined in the Trust Agreement) by Dealer for purposes of Paragraph 9 the Counterparty’s Trust Agreement. This representation shall no longer apply from and after the date five days after Counterparty provides to Dealer an opinion of nationally recognized legal counsel that ownership as a nominee or fiduciary, with no direct or indirect economic interest other than customary fiduciary, custodial and management fees, constitutes ownership for purposes of Section 318 or Section 542 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

9. Other Provisions:

 

  (a) Opinions . Each of Counterparty and Parent shall deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Premium Payment Date in the form of Exhibit A hereto, with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 8(a) though (d) of this Confirmation.


  (b) Repurchase Notices . Parent shall, at least 10 Scheduled Trading Days prior to any day on which it effects any repurchase of Shares, give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) if, following such repurchase, the Notice Percentage as determined on such day is (i) greater than 4.5% and (ii) greater by 0.5% than the Notice Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice, greater than the Notice Percentage as of the date hereof). The “ Notice Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the Number of Shares and the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. In the event that Parent fails to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this Section 9(b) then Counterparty and Parent agree to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (Dealer and each such person being an “ Indemnified Person ”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealer’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider,” including without limitation any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to this Transaction), claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Person may become subject, including without limitation, Section 16 of the Exchange Act), relating to or arising out of such failure. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Person or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Person, then Counterparty and Parent shall contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Person as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability. In addition, Counterparty and Parent will reimburse any Indemnified Person for all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred (after notice to Counterparty) in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement of any pending or threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation) arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Person is a party thereto and whether or not such claim, action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of Counterparty or Parent. This indemnity shall survive the completion of the Transaction contemplated by this Confirmation and any assignment and delegation of the Transaction made pursuant to this Confirmation or the Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee of Dealer.

 

  (c) Exchange Rate Adjustments . Parent shall provide to Dealer written notice (such notice, an “ Exchange Rate Adjustment Event Notice ”) at least ten Scheduled Trading Days prior to consummating or otherwise executing or engaging in any transaction or event (an “ Exchange Rate Adjustment Event ”) that would lead to a change in the Exchange Rate (as such term is defined in the Indenture). Upon such Exchange Rate Adjustment Event becoming effective, Parent shall, on the day such Exchange Rate Adjustment Event becomes effective or as soon as practicable thereafter, provide to Dealer written notice (such notice, an “ Exchange Rate Adjustment Notice ”) setting forth the new, adjusted Exchange Rate after giving effect to such Exchange Rate Adjustment Event (the “ New Exchange Rate ”). In connection with the delivery of any Exchange Rate Adjustment Event Notice to Dealer, (x) Parent shall, concurrently with or prior to such delivery, publicly announce and disclose the Exchange Rate Adjustment Event or (y) Parent shall, concurrently with such delivery, represent and warrant that the information set forth in such Exchange Rate Adjustment Event Notice does not constitute material non-public information with respect to Parent or the Shares.

 

  (d) Regulation M . Neither Counterparty nor Parent was on the Trade Date engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), of any securities of Counterparty or Parent, as applicable, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M. Neither Counterparty nor Parent shall, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Trade Date, and on any Additional Premium Date, engage in any such distribution.


  (e) No Manipulation . Neither Counterparty nor Parent is entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.

 

  (f) Rule 10b-18 . During the period beginning on the Trade Date and ending on any Additional Premium Payment Date, or if no such Additional Premium Payment Date has occurred, on the last date on which Dealer, as representative of the Initial Purchasers, may exercise the over-allotment option set forth in the Purchase Agreement, neither Counterparty nor any “affiliate” or “affiliated purchaser” (each as defined in Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act (“ Rule 10b-18 ”)) shall directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, by means of any cash-settled or other derivative instrument) purchase, offer to purchase, place any bid or limit order that would effect a purchase of, or commence any tender offer relating to, any Shares (or an equivalent interest, including a unit of beneficial interest in a trust or limited partnership or a depository share) or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares, unless Dealer, in its sole discretion, consents to any such transaction or activity.

 

  (g) Number of Repurchased Shares . Each of Counterparty and Parent represents that it could have purchased a number of Shares equal to (i) the product of the Number of Options, Option Entitlement and the amount by which the Cap Price exceeds the Strike Price, divided by (ii) the Cap Price, on the Exchange or otherwise, in compliance with applicable law, its organizational documents and any orders, decrees and contractual agreements binding upon Counterparty or Parent, on the Trade Date.

 

  (h) Board Authorization . Each of this Transaction and the issuance of the Exchangeable Notes was approved by Counterparty’s and Parent’s Board of Trustees and publicly announced, solely for the purposes stated in such board resolution and public disclosure and, prior to any exercise of Options hereunder, Counterparty’s and Parent’s Board of Trustees will have duly authorized any repurchase of Shares pursuant to this Transaction. Each of Counterparty and Parent further represents that there is no internal policy, whether written or oral, of Counterparty or Parent that would prohibit Counterparty or Parent from entering into any aspect of this Transaction, including, but not limited to, the purchases of Shares to be made pursuant hereto.

 

  (i)

Transfer or Assignment . Dealer may transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder and under the Agreement, in whole or in part, to any of its affiliates without the consent of Counterparty, and, upon such transfer or assignment, Dealer shall be discharged of any such obligation to the extent of such affiliate’s performance. If at any time at which the Equity Percentage exceeds 6.5%, Dealer, in its discretion, (i) shall have the right to transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder and under the Agreement, in whole or in part, to any third party with a rating for its long-term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of BBB- or better by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or its successor (“S&P”), or Baa3 by Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or, if either S&P or Moody’s ceases to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or better by a substitute agency rating mutually agreed by Counterparty and Dealer, and (ii), if Dealer is unable to effect a transfer or assignment to a third party after its commercially reasonable efforts on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that the Equity Percentage is reduced to 6.5% or less, Dealer may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the “ Terminated Portion ”) of the Transaction, such that the Equity Percentage following such partial termination will be equal to or less than 6.5%. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment or delivery shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Terminated Portion of the Transaction, (ii) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (iii) such portion of the Transaction shall be the only Terminated


 

Transaction. The “ Equity Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of the number of Shares that Dealer and its affiliates beneficially own (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act and, without duplication, any shares for which Dealer is the “Beneficial Owner” or “Constructive Owner” within the meaning of the Trust Agreement) on such day, other than Shares owned as a hedge of the Transaction, and the Number of Shares and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of this Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.

 

  (j) Staggered Settlement . If, in the reasonable judgment of Dealer, it is advisable to do so under any applicable law, regulation or internal policy, Dealer may by notice to Counterparty prior to the Settlement Date (the “ Nominal Settlement Date ”), elect to deliver the Shares on two or more dates (each, a “ Staggered Settlement Date ”) or at two or more times on the Nominal Settlement Date as follows:

(i) in such notice, Dealer will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (each of which will be on or prior to such Nominal Settlement Date) or delivery times and how it will allocate the Shares it is otherwise required to deliver on such Settlement Date among the Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times; and

(ii) the aggregate number of Shares that Dealer will deliver to Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates and delivery times will equal the number of Shares that Dealer would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date.

 

  (k) Early Unwind . In the event the sale by Counterparty of the Exchangeable Notes is not consummated with the initial purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for any reason by the close of business in New York on May 8, 2007 (or such later date as agreed upon by the parties) (May 8, 2007, or such later date being the “ Early Unwind Date ”), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the “ Early Unwind ”), on the Early Unwind Date and (i) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Counterparty thereunder shall be cancelled and terminated and (ii) if the sale of the Exchangeable Notes is not consummated by the initial purchasers for any reason other than as a result of breach of the Purchase Agreement by any initial purchaser, Counterparty shall pay to Dealer an amount in cash equal to the aggregate amount of costs and expenses relating to the unwinding of Dealer’s hedging activities in respect of the Transaction (including market losses incurred in reselling any Shares purchased by Dealer or its affiliates in connection with such hedging activities). Following such termination, cancellation and payment, each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of either party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date. Dealer and Counterparty represent and acknowledge to the other that upon an Early Unwind and following the payment referred to above, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9(k) shall become effective as of the Trade Date and shall remain in effect whether or not the Effective Date of the Transaction occurs.

 

  (l)

Role of Agent . (i) Each party agrees and acknowledges that Agent is acting as agent for the parties but does not guarantee the performance of any party and the Dealer shall not contact the Counterparty or the Parent and neither the Parent not the Counterparty shall contact the Dealer with respect to any matter relating to the Transaction without the direct involvement of Agent; (ii) Agent is not a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation; (iii) Agent, Dealer, Counterparty and Parent each hereby acknowledges that any transactions by


 

Dealer or Agent in the Shares will be undertaken by Dealer or Agent, as the case may, as principal for its own account; and (iv) all of the actions to be taken by Dealer and Agent in connection with the Transaction, including but not limited to any exercise of any rights with respect to the Options, shall be taken by Dealer or Agent independently and without any advance or subsequent consultation with Counterparty or Parent, and (v) Agent is hereby authorized to act as agent for Counterparty and Parent only to the extent required to satisfy the requirements of Rule 15a-6 under the Exchange Act in respect of the Options described hereunder.

 

  (m) Dividends . If at any time during the period from and including the Trade Date, to and including the Expiration Date, (i) an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares (an “ Ex-Dividend Date ”), and that dividend is less than the Regular Dividend on a per Share basis or (ii) if no Ex-Dividend Date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares in any quarterly dividend period of Counterparty, then the Calculation Agent will adjust the Cap Price to preserve the fair value of the Options to Dealer after taking into account such dividend or lack thereof. “ Regular Dividend ” shall mean USD 0.57 per Share per quarter.

 

  (n) Additional Termination Events . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, upon the occurrence of an Exchange Date for any Exchangeable Notes prior to March 1, 2012 (an “ Early Exchange ”) or upon the occurrence of a Make Whole Exchange (regardless of the Exchange Date):

 

  (i) Counterparty shall within one Scheduled Trading Day of the relevant Exchange Date provide written notice (an “ Unwind Exchange Notice ”) to Dealer specifying the number of Exchangeable Notes exchanged on such Exchange Date and identifying the related exchanges as Early Exchanges or Make Whole Exchanges, as applicable;

 

  (ii) such Early Exchange or Make Whole Exchange, as applicable, shall constitute an Additional Termination Event hereunder with respect to a number of Options equal to the Applicable Percentage times the number of Exchangeable Notes surrendered for exchange in connection with such Early Exchange or Make Whole Exchange, as applicable, (the “ Affected Number of Options ”), in which case (x) the sole Affected Transaction shall consist of a transaction identical to the Transaction except that Number of Options for such Affected Transaction shall equal the Affected Number of Options and Counterparty shall be deemed the sole Affected Party and (y) the Transaction shall remain in full force and effect, except that the Number of Options subject to the Transaction immediately prior to the Exchange Date for such Early Exchange or Make Whole Exchange, as applicable, shall as of such Exchange Date be reduced by the Affected Number of Options;

 

  (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, Dealer shall designate an Early Termination Date in respect of such Affected Transaction, which shall be no earlier than one Scheduled Trading Day following the Exchange Date for the related Early Exchange or Make Whole Exchange, as applicable;

 

  (iv) for the avoidance of doubt, in determining the amount payable in respect of such Affected Transaction pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement, the Calculation Agent shall assume that (x) the relevant Early Exchange or Make Whole Exchange, as applicable, had not occurred, and (y) the corresponding Exchangeable Notes remain outstanding.

 

  (o) Disclosure . Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Counterparty and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents 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 to Counterparty relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.


  (p) Setoff . In addition to and without limiting any rights of set-off that a party hereto may have as a matter of law, pursuant to contract or otherwise, upon the occurrence of an Early Termination Date, Dealer shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to Counterparty under this Confirmation, including without limitation any obligation to make any payment of cash or delivery of Shares to Counterparty, against any obligation Counterparty may have to Dealer under any other agreement between Dealer and Counterparty relating to Shares (each such contract or agreement, a “ Separate Agreement ”), including without limitation any obligation to make a payment of cash or a delivery of Shares or any other property or securities. For this purpose, Dealer shall be entitled to convert any obligation (or the relevant portion of such obligation) denominated in one currency into another currency at the rate of exchange at which it would be able to purchase the relevant amount of such currency, and to convert any obligation to deliver any non-cash property into an obligation to deliver cash in an amount calculated by reference to the market value of such property as of the Early Termination Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion; provided that in the case of a set-off of any obligation to release or deliver assets against any right to receive fungible assets, such obligation and right shall be set off in kind and; provided further that in determining the value of any obligation to deliver Shares, the value at any time of such obligation shall be determined by reference to the market value of the Shares at such time, as determined in good faith by the Calculation Agent. If an obligation is unascertained at the time of any such set-off, the Calculation Agent may in good faith estimate the amount or value of such obligation, in which case set-off will be effected in respect of that estimate, and the relevant party shall account to the other party at the time such obligation or right is ascertained.

 

  (q) Status of Claims in Bankruptcy . Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer rights against Counterparty with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of unitholders of Counterparty in any U.S. bankruptcy proceedings of Counterparty or Parent; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Counterparty or Parent of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction; provided , further , that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction.

 

  (r) Securities Contract; Swap Agreement . Each of Dealer, Parent and Counterparty agrees and acknowledges that Dealer is a “swap participant” and “financial participant” within the meaning of Section 101(22), 101(53C) and 101(22A) of Title 11 of the United State Code (the “ Bankruptcy Code ”). The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge (A) that this Confirmation is (i) a “securities contract,” as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder is a “settlement payment,” as such term is defined in Section 741(8) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) a “swap agreement,” as such term is defined in Section 101(53B) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder is a “transfer,” as such term is defined in Section 101(54) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (B) that Dealer is entitled to the protections afforded by, among other sections, Section 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

  (s) Governing Law . New York law (without regard to choice of law doctrine).

 

  (t) Waiver of Jury Trial . Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Transaction. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of either party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into this Transaction, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.


  (u) Right to Extend . Dealer may postpone any Exercise Date or any other date of valuation or delivery by Dealer, with respect to some or all of the relevant Options (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the number of Net Shares to be Delivered or Option Cash Settlement Amount, as applicable), if Dealer determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Dealer’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable Dealer to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Counterparty or an affiliated purchaser of Counterparty, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer.

 

  (v) Registration . Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable judgment of Dealer, the Shares (the “ Hedge Shares ”) acquired by Dealer for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transaction cannot be sold in the U.S. public market by Dealer without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall, at its election: (i) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available to Dealer an effective registration statement under the Securities Act to cover the resale of such Hedge Shares and (A) enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered offering, (B) provide accountant’s “comfort” letters in customary form for registered offerings of equity securities, (C) provide disclosure opinions of nationally recognized outside counsel to Counterparty reasonably acceptable to Dealer, (D) provide other customary opinions, certificates and closing documents customary in form for registered offerings of equity securities and (E) afford Dealer a reasonable opportunity to conduct a “due diligence” investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities; provided, however , that if Dealer, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with access to due diligence materials, the results of its due diligence investigation, or the procedures and documentation for the registered offering referred to above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this Section 9(v) shall apply at the election of Counterparty; (ii) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a private placement, enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer, including customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer, due diligence rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Hedge Shares from Dealer), opinions and certificates and such other documentation as is customary for private placements agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to compensate Dealer for any discount from the public market price of the Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private placement); or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from Dealer at the VWAP Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, as requested by Dealer. “ VWAP Price ” means, on any Exchange Business Day, the per Share volume-weighted average price as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page.PEI <equity> VAP (or any successor thereto) in respect of the period from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Exchange Business Day (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one Share on such Exchange Business Day, as determined by the Calculation Agent using a volume-weighted method).

 

  (w)

Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events . If in respect of the Transaction, an amount is payable by Dealer to Counterparty (i) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or (ii) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (a “ Payment Obligation ”), Counterparty may request Dealer to satisfy any such Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below)


 

(except that Counterparty shall not make such an election in the event of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event, in each case, in which the consideration to be paid to holders of Shares consists solely of cash, or an Event of Default in which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party, other than an Event of Default of the type described in Section 5(a)(iii), (v), (vii) or (viii) of the Agreement or a Termination Event of the type described in Section 5(b)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) of the Agreement or an Additional Termination Event as a result of an Early Conversion (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, a Make-Whole Exchange), in each case that resulted from an event or events outside Counterparty’s control) and shall give irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Currency Business Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. New York local time on the Merger Date, the Announcement Date (in the case of Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable.

 

Share Termination Alternative:    Applicable and means that Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty the Share Termination Delivery Property on the date when the Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) and 6(e) of the Agreement, as applicable (the “ Share Termination Payment Date ”), in satisfaction of the Payment Obligation in the manner reasonably requested by Counterparty free of payment.
Share Termination Delivery Property:    A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit Price.
Share Termination Unit Price:    The value to Dealer of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit on the date such Share Termination Delivery Units are to be delivered as Share Termination Delivery Property, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means and notified by the Calculation Agent to Dealer at the time of notification of the Payment Obligation.
Share Termination Delivery Unit:    One Share or, if a Merger Event has occurred and a corresponding adjustment to the Transaction has been made, a unit consisting of the number or amount of each type of property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Merger Event, as determined by the Calculation Agent.
Failure to Deliver:    Applicable


Other applicable provisions:    If the Transaction is to be Share Termination Settled, the provisions of Sections 9.9, 9.11, 9.12 and 10.5 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to “Physically-Settled” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”. “Share Termination Settled” in relation to the Transaction means that Share Termination Settlement is applicable to the Transaction.

10. Representation of Dealer:

Dear Sir/Madam:

The purpose of this letter agreement (this “ Confirmation ”) is to confirm the terms and conditions of the transaction entered into between Citibank, N.A. (“ Dealer ”), PREIT Associates, L.P., Delaware limited partnership (“ Counterparty ”), and Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust, an unincorporated association in business trust form created under Pennsylvania law pursuant to a Trust Agreement and the sole general partner of Counterparty (“ Parent ”), on the Trade Date specified below (the “ Transaction ”). This Confirmation constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement specified below. This Confirmation shall replace any previous letter and serve as the final documentation for this Transaction. The Transaction is subject to early unwind if the closing of the Exchangeable Notes referred to below issued by Counterparty is not consummated for any reason, as set forth in this Confirmation.

This representation shall no longer apply from and after the date five days after Counterparty provides to Dealer an opinion of nationally recognized legal counsel that ownership as a nominee or fiduciary, with no direct or indirect economic interest other than customary fiduciary, custodial and management fees, constitutes ownership for purposes of Section 318 or Section 542 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Parent shall, at least 10 Scheduled Trading Days prior to any day on which it effects any repurchase of Shares, give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) if, following such repurchase, the Notice Percentage as determined on such day is (i) greater than 4.5% and (ii) greater by 0.5% than the Notice Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice, greater than the Notice Percentage as of the date hereof). The “ Notice Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the Number of Shares and the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. In the event that Parent fails to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this Section 9(b) then Counterparty and Parent agree to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (Dealer and each such person being an “ Indemnified Person ”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealer’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider,” including without limitation any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to this Transaction), claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Person may become subject, including without limitation, Section 16 of the Exchange Act), relating to or arising out of such failure. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Person or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Person, then Counterparty and Parent shall contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Person as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability. In addition, Counterparty and Parent will reimburse any Indemnified Person for all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred (after notice to Counterparty) in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement


 

of any pending or threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation) arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Person is a party thereto and whether or not such claim, action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of Counterparty or Parent. This indemnity shall survive the completion of the Transaction contemplated by this Confirmation and any assignment and delegation of the Transaction made pursuant to this Confirmation or the Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee of Dealer.

 

  (c) Exchange Rate Adjustments . Parent shall provide to Dealer written notice (such notice, an “ Exchange Rate Adjustment Event Notice ”) at least ten Scheduled Trading Days prior to consummating or otherwise executing or engaging in any transaction or event (an “ Exchange Rate Adjustment Event ”) that would lead to a change in the Exchange Rate (as such term is defined in the Indenture). Upon such Exchange Rate Adjustment Event becoming effective, Parent shall, on the day such Exchange Rate Adjustment Event becomes effective or as soon as practicable thereafter, provide to Dealer written notice (such notice, an “ Exchange Rate Adjustment Notice ”) setting forth the new, adjusted Exchange Rate after giving effect to such Exchange Rate Adjustment Event (the “ New Exchange Rate ”). In connection with the delivery of any Exchange Rate Adjustment Event Notice to Dealer, (x) Parent shall, concurrently with or prior to such delivery, publicly announce and disclose the Exchange Rate Adjustment Event or (y) Parent shall, concurrently with such delivery, represent and warrant that the information set forth in such Exchange Rate Adjustment Event Notice does not constitute material non-public information with respect to Parent or the Shares.

 

  (d) Regulation M . Neither Counterparty nor Parent was on the Trade Date engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), of any securities of Counterparty or Parent, as applicable, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M. Neither Counterparty nor Parent shall, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Trade Date, and on any Additional Premium Date, engage in any such distribution.

 

  (e) No Manipulation . Neither Counterparty nor Parent is entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.

 

  (f) Rule 10b-18 . During the period beginning on the Trade Date and ending on any Additional Premium Payment Date, or if no such Additional Premium Payment Date has occurred, on the last date on which Dealer, as representative of the Initial Purchasers, may exercise the over-allotment option set forth in the Purchase Agreement, neither Counterparty nor any “affiliate” or “affiliated purchaser” (each as defined in Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act (“ Rule 10b-18 ”)) shall directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, by means of any cash-settled or other derivative instrument) purchase, offer to purchase, place any bid or limit order that would effect a purchase of, or commence any tender offer relating to, any Shares (or an equivalent interest, including a unit of beneficial interest in a trust or limited partnership or a depository share) or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares, unless Dealer, in its sole discretion, consents to any such transaction or activity.

 

  (g) Number of Repurchased Shares . Each of Counterparty and Parent represents that it could have purchased a number of Shares equal to (i) the product of the Number of Options, Option Entitlement and the amount by which the Cap Price exceeds the Strike Price, divided by (ii) the Cap Price, on the Exchange or otherwise, in compliance with applicable law, its organizational documents and any orders, decrees and contractual agreements binding upon Counterparty or Parent, on the Trade Date.


  (h) Board Authorization . Each of this Transaction and the issuance of the Exchangeable Notes was approved by Counterparty’s and Parent’s Board of Trustees and publicly announced, solely for the purposes stated in such board resolution and public disclosure and, prior to any exercise of Options hereunder, Counterparty’s and Parent’s Board of Trustees will have duly authorized any repurchase of Shares pursuant to this Transaction. Each of Counterparty and Parent further represents that there is no internal policy, whether written or oral, of Counterparty or Parent that would prohibit Counterparty or Parent from entering into any aspect of this Transaction, including, but not limited to, the purchases of Shares to be made pursuant hereto.

 

  (i) Transfer or Assignment . Dealer may transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder and under the Agreement, in whole or in part, to any of its affiliates without the consent of Counterparty, and, upon such transfer or assignment, Dealer shall be discharged of any such obligation to the extent of such affiliate’s performance. If at any time at which the Equity Percentage exceeds 6.5%, Dealer, in its discretion, (i) shall have the right to transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder and under the Agreement, in whole or in part, to any third party with a rating for its long-term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of BBB- or better by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or its successor (“S&P”), or Baa3 by Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or, if either S&P or Moody’s ceases to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or better by a substitute agency rating mutually agreed by Counterparty and Dealer, and (ii), if Dealer is unable to effect a transfer or assignment to a third party after its commercially reasonable efforts on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that the Equity Percentage is reduced to 6.5% or less, Dealer may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the “ Terminated Portion ”) of the Transaction, such that the Equity Percentage following such partial termination will be equal to or less than 6.5%. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment or delivery shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Terminated Portion of the Transaction, (ii) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (iii) such portion of the Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction. The “ Equity Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of the number of Shares that Dealer and its affiliates beneficially own (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act and, without duplication, any shares for which Dealer is the “Beneficial Owner” or “Constructive Owner” within the meaning of the Trust Agreement) on such day, other than Shares owned as a hedge of the Transaction, and the Number of Shares and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of this Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.

 

  (j) Staggered Settlement . If, in the reasonable judgment of Dealer, it is advisable to do so under any applicable law, regulation or internal policy, Dealer may by notice to Counterparty prior to the Settlement Date (the “ Nominal Settlement Date ”), elect to deliver the Shares on two or more dates (each, a “ Staggered Settlement Date ”) or at two or more times on the Nominal Settlement Date as follows:

(i) in such notice, Dealer will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (each of which will be on or prior to such Nominal Settlement Date) or delivery times and how it will allocate the Shares it is otherwise required to deliver on such Settlement Date among the Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times; and


(ii) the aggregate number of Shares that Dealer will deliver to Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates and delivery times will equal the number of Shares that Dealer would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date.

 

  (k) Early Unwind . In the event the sale by Counterparty of the Exchangeable Notes is not consummated with the initial purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for any reason by the close of business in New York on May 8, 2007 (or such later date as agreed upon by the parties) (May 8, 2007, or such later date being the “ Early Unwind Date ”), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the “ Early Unwind ”), on the Early Unwind Date and (i) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Counterparty thereunder shall be cancelled and terminated and (ii) if the sale of the Exchangeable Notes is not consummated by the initial purchasers for any reason other than as a result of breach of the Purchase Agreement by any initial purchaser, Counterparty shall pay to Dealer an amount in cash equal to the aggregate amount of costs and expenses relating to the unwinding of Dealer’s hedging activities in respect of the Transaction (including market losses incurred in reselling any Shares purchased by Dealer or its affiliates in connection with such hedging activities). Following such termination, cancellation and payment, each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of either party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date. Dealer and Counterparty represent and acknowledge to the other that upon an Early Unwind and following the payment referred to above, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9(k) shall become effective as of the Trade Date and shall remain in effect whether or not the Effective Date of the Transaction occurs.

 

  (l) [ Reserved ]

 

  (m) Dividends . If at any time during the period from and including the Trade Date, to and including the Expiration Date, (i) an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares (an “ Ex-Dividend Date ”), and that dividend is less than the Regular Dividend on a per Share basis or (ii) if no Ex-Dividend Date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares in any quarterly dividend period of Counterparty, then the Calculation Agent will adjust the Cap Price to preserve the fair value of the Options to Dealer after taking into account such dividend or lack thereof. “ Regular Dividend ” shall mean USD 0.57 per Share per quarter.

 

  (n) Additional Termination Events . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, upon the occurrence of an Exchange Date for any Exchangeable Notes prior to March 1, 2012 (an “ Early Exchange ”) or upon the occurrence of a Make Whole Exchange (regardless of the Exchange Date):

 

  (i) Counterparty shall within one Scheduled Trading Day of the relevant Exchange Date provide written notice (an “ Unwind Exchange Notice ”) to Dealer specifying the number of Exchangeable Notes exchanged on such Exchange Date and identifying the related exchanges as Early Exchanges or Make Whole Exchanges, as applicable;

 

  (ii)

such Early Exchange or Make Whole Exchange, as applicable, shall constitute an Additional Termination Event hereunder with respect to a number of Options equal to the Applicable Percentage times the number of Exchangeable Notes surrendered for exchange in connection with such Early Exchange or Make Whole Exchange, as applicable, (the “ Affected Number of Options ”), in which case (x) the sole Affected Transaction shall consist of a transaction identical to the Transaction except that Number of Options for such Affected Transaction shall equal the Affected Number of Options and Counterparty shall be deemed the sole Affected Party and (y) the Transaction shall remain in full force and effect, except that the Number of


 

Options subject to the Transaction immediately prior to the Exchange Date for such Early Exchange or Make Whole Exchange, as applicable, shall as of such Exchange Date be reduced by the Affected Number of Options;

 

  (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, Dealer shall designate an Early Termination Date in respect of such Affected Transaction, which shall be no earlier than one Scheduled Trading Day following the Exchange Date for the related Early Exchange or Make Whole Exchange, as applicable;

 

  (iv) for the avoidance of doubt, in determining the amount payable in respect of such Affected Transaction pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement, the Calculation Agent shall assume that (x) the relevant Early Exchange or Make Whole Exchange, as applicable, had not occurred, and (y) the corresponding Exchangeable Notes remain outstanding.

 

  (o) Disclosure . Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Counterparty and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents 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 to Counterparty relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

 

  (p) Setoff . In addition to and without limiting any rights of set-off that a party hereto may have as a matter of law, pursuant to contract or otherwise, upon the occurrence of an Early Termination Date, Dealer shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to Counterparty under this Confirmation, including without limitation any obligation to make any payment of cash or delivery of Shares to Counterparty, against any obligation Counterparty may have to Dealer under any other agreement between Dealer and Counterparty relating to Shares (each such contract or agreement, a “ Separate Agreement ”), including without limitation any obligation to make a payment of cash or a delivery of Shares or any other property or securities. For this purpose, Dealer shall be entitled to convert any obligation (or the relevant portion of such obligation) denominated in one currency into another currency at the rate of exchange at which it would be able to purchase the relevant amount of such currency, and to convert any obligation to deliver any non-cash property into an obligation to deliver cash in an amount calculated by reference to the market value of such property as of the Early Termination Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion; provided that in the case of a set-off of any obligation to release or deliver assets against any right to receive fungible assets, such obligation and right shall be set off in kind and; provided further that in determining the value of any obligation to deliver Shares, the value at any time of such obligation shall be determined by reference to the market value of the Shares at such time, as determined in good faith by the Calculation Agent. If an obligation is unascertained at the time of any such set-off, the Calculation Agent may in good faith estimate the amount or value of such obligation, in which case set-off will be effected in respect of that estimate, and the relevant party shall account to the other party at the time such obligation or right is ascertained.

 

  (q) Status of Claims in Bankruptcy . Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer rights against Counterparty with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of unitholders of Counterparty in any U.S. bankruptcy proceedings of Counterparty or Parent; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Counterparty or Parent of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction; provided , further , that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction.

 

  (r)

Securities Contract; Swap Agreement . Each of Dealer, Parent and Counterparty agrees and acknowledges that Dealer is a “swap participant” and “financial participant” within the


 

meaning of Section 101(22), 101(53C) and 101(22A) of Title 11 of the United State Code (the “ Bankruptcy Code ”). The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge (A) that this Confirmation is (i) a “securities contract,” as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder is a “settlement payment,” as such term is defined in Section 741(8) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) a “swap agreement,” as such term is defined in Section 101(53B) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder is a “transfer,” as such term is defined in Section 101(54) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (B) that Dealer is entitled to the protections afforded by, among other sections, Section 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

  (s) Governing Law . New York law (without regard to choice of law doctrine).

 

  (t) Waiver of Jury Trial . Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Transaction. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of either party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into this Transaction, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.

 

  (u) Right to Extend . Dealer may postpone any Exercise Date or any other date of valuation or delivery by Dealer, with respect to some or all of the relevant Options (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the number of Net Shares to be Delivered or Option Cash Settlement Amount, as applicable), if Dealer determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Dealer’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable Dealer to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Counterparty or an affiliated purchaser of Counterparty, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer.

 

  (v)

Registration . Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable judgment of Dealer, the Shares (the “ Hedge Shares ”) acquired by Dealer for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transaction cannot be sold in the U.S. public market by Dealer without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall, at its election: (i) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available to Dealer an effective registration statement under the Securities Act to cover the resale of such Hedge Shares and (A) enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered offering, (B) provide accountant’s “comfort” letters in customary form for registered offerings of equity securities, (C) provide disclosure opinions of nationally recognized outside counsel to Counterparty reasonably acceptable to Dealer, (D) provide other customary opinions, certificates and closing documents customary in form for registered offerings of equity securities and (E) afford Dealer a reasonable opportunity to conduct a “due diligence” investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities; provided, however , that if Dealer, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with access to due diligence materials, the results of its due diligence investigation, or the procedures and documentation for the registered offering referred to above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this Section 9(v) shall apply at the election of Counterparty; (ii) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a private placement, enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer, including customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer, due diligence rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Hedge Shares from Dealer), opinions and certificates and such other documentation as


 

is customary for private placements agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to compensate Dealer for any discount from the public market price of the Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private placement); or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from Dealer at the VWAP Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, as requested by Dealer. “ VWAP Price ” means, on any Exchange Business Day, the per Share volume-weighted average price as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page.PEI <equity> VAP (or any successor thereto) in respect of the period from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Exchange Business Day (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one Share on such Exchange Business Day, as determined by the Calculation Agent using a volume-weighted method).

 

  (w) Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events . If in respect of the Transaction, an amount is payable by Dealer to Counterparty (i) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or (ii) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (a “ Payment Obligation ”), Counterparty may request Dealer to satisfy any such Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below) (except that Counterparty shall not make such an election in the event of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event, in each case, in which the consideration to be paid to holders of Shares consists solely of cash, or an Event of Default in which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party, other than an Event of Default of the type described in Section 5(a)(iii), (v), (vii) or (viii) of the Agreement or a Termination Event of the type described in Section 5(b)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) of the Agreement or an Additional Termination Event as a result of an Early Conversion (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, a Make-Whole Exchange), in each case that resulted from an event or events outside Counterparty’s control) and shall give irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Currency Business Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. New York local time on the Merger Date, the Announcement Date (in the case of Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable.

 

Share Termination Alternative:    Applicable and means that Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty the Share Termination Delivery Property on the date when the Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) and 6(e) of the Agreement, as applicable (the “ Share Termination Payment Date ”), in satisfaction of the Payment Obligation in the manner reasonably requested by Counterparty free of payment.
Share Termination Delivery Property:    A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit Price.
Share Termination Unit Price:    The value to Dealer of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit on the date such


   Share Termination Delivery Units are to be delivered as Share Termination Delivery Property, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means and notified by the Calculation Agent to Dealer at the time of notification of the Payment Obligation.
Share Termination Delivery Unit:    One Share or, if a Merger Event has occurred and a corresponding adjustment to the Transaction has been made, a unit consisting of the number or amount of each type of property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Merger Event, as determined by the Calculation Agent.
Failure to Deliver:    Applicable
Other applicable provisions:    If the Transaction is to be Share Termination Settled, the provisions of Sections 9.9, 9.11, 9.12 and 10.5 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to “Physically- Settled” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”. “Share Termination Settled” in relation to the Transaction means that Share Termination Settlement is applicable to the Transaction.

10. Representation of Dealer:

Dealer represents and warrants to and for the benefit of Counterparty and Parent as follows: the Transaction does not have a value of more than 10 percent of the total value of Dealer’s outstanding securities.

Dear Sir/Madam:

The purpose of this letter agreement (this “ Confirmation ”) is to confirm the terms and conditions of the transaction entered into between UBS AG, London Branch (“ Dealer ”),with UBS Securities LLC as its agent (“ Agent ”) , PREIT Associates, L.P., Delaware limited partnership (“ Counterparty ”), and Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust, an unincorporated association in business trust form created under Pennsylvania law pursuant to a Trust Agreement and the sole general partner of Counterparty (“ Parent ”), on the Trade Date specified below (the “ Transaction ”). This Confirmation constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement specified below. This Confirmation shall replace any previous letter and serve as the final documentation for this Transaction. The Transaction is subject to early unwind if the closing of the Exchangeable Notes referred to below issued by Counterparty is not consummated for any reason, as set forth in this Confirmation.

This Confirmation is subject to, and incorporates, the definitions and provisions of the 2000 ISDA Definitions (including the Annex thereto) (the “ 2000 Definitions ”) and the definitions and provisions of the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “ Equity Definitions ”, and together with the 2000 Definitions, the “ Definitions ”), in each case as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ ISDA ”). In the event of any inconsistency between the 2000 Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the Equity Definitions will govern. Certain defined terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Offering Memorandum dated May 2, 2007 (the “ Offering Memorandum ”) relating to the USD 250,000,000 principal amount of 4.00% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2027 (the “ Exchangeable Notes ” and each USD 1,000 principal amount of Exchangeable Notes, an “ Exchangeable Note ”) issued by Counterparty pursuant to an Indenture to be dated May 8, 2007 between Counterparty and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (as in effect on the date of its execution, the “ Indenture ”). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms defined in the Offering Memorandum, the Indenture and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern. The parties acknowledge that this Confirmation is entered into on the date hereof with the understanding that (i) definitions set forth in the Indenture which are also defined herein by reference to the Indenture and (ii) sections of the Indenture that are referred to herein will conform to the descriptions thereof in the Offering Memorandum. If any such definitions in the Indenture or any such sections of the Indenture differ from the descriptions thereof in the Offering Memorandum, the descriptions thereof in the Offering Memorandum will govern for purposes of this Confirmation. The parties further acknowledge that the Indenture section numbers used herein are based on the draft of the Indenture last reviewed by Dealer as of the date of this Confirmation, and if any such

 

A -1


section numbers are changed in the Indenture as executed, the parties will amend this Confirmation in good faith to preserve the intent of the parties. For the avoidance of doubt, references to the Indenture herein are references to the Indenture as in effect on the date of its execution and if the Indenture is amended following its execution, any such amendment will be disregarded for purposes of this Confirmation unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.

Each party is hereby advised, and each such party acknowledges, that the other party has engaged in, or refrained from engaging in, substantial financial transactions and has taken other material actions in reliance upon the parties’ entry into the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates on the terms and conditions set forth below.

1. This Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between Dealer, Counterparty and Parent as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Transaction shall be the only transaction under the Agreement.

All provisions contained in, or incorporated by reference to, the Agreement will govern this Confirmation except as expressly modified herein. In the event of any inconsistency between this Confirmation and either the Definitions or the Agreement, this Confirmation shall govern.

  (a) Each of Counterparty and Parent has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in respect of this Transaction; such execution, delivery and performance have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on Counterparty’s and Parent’s part; and this Confirmation has been duly and validly executed and delivered by each of Counterparty and Parent and constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Counterparty or Parent in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification and contribution hereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto.


  (b) Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the execution, delivery and performance of this Confirmation by Counterparty and Parent and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (whether with or without the giving of notice or passage of time or both) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default (or give rise to any right of termination, acceleration, cancellation, repurchase or redemption) or Repayment Event (as hereinafter defined) under, or result in the creation or imposition of a Lien upon any property or assets of the Counterparty, the Parent and the Subsidiaries (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) pursuant to, (i) any statute, any rule, regulation or order of any governmental agency or body or any court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Counterparty, the Parent and the Subsidiaries (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), assets or business currently owned by them; (ii) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, bank loan or credit agreement or other evidence of indebtedness, or any license, lease, contract or other agreement or instrument to which the Counterparty, Parent or any of the Subsidiaries (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) is a party or by which any of them or any of their properties may be bound or affected; or (iii) the charters, by-laws or other organizational documents, as applicable, of the Counterparty, the Parent and the Subsidiaries (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), except for such conflicts, breaches, violations or defaults that (with respect to subclauses (i) and (ii) above) would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (it being understood that any such conflict, breach or default relating to the execution, delivery or performance of the Counterparty or Parent of this Confirmation shall constitute a Material Adverse Effect). As used herein, “ Repayment Event ” means any event or condition which, without regard to compliance with any notice or other procedural requirements, gives the holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by the Parent, Counterparty or any subsidiary.

  (e) Each of Counterparty and Parent is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in Section 1a(12) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the “ CEA ”) because one or more of the following is true:

  (g) Without limiting the generality of Section 3(a)(iii) of the Agreement, the Transaction will not violate Rule 13e-1 or Rule 13e-4 under the Exchange Act.

 

  (h) Counterparty is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(15)(ii) of the Securities Act).

 

  (i) Counterparty’s financial condition is such that it has no need for liquidity with respect to its investment in the Transaction and no need to dispose of any portion thereof to satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking or indebtedness.

 

  (j) On the Trade Date and on any Additional Premium Payment Date (A) the assets of Counterparty at their fair valuation exceed the liabilities of Counterparty, including contingent liabilities, (B) the capital of Counterparty is adequate to conduct the business of Counterparty and (C) Counterparty has the ability to pay its debts and obligations as such debts mature and does not intend to, or does not believe that it will, incur debt beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature.

Counterparty acknowledges that all Options acquired from Dealer will be acquired for investment purposes only and not for the purpose of resale or other transfer except in compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act. Counterparty will not sell or otherwise transfer any Option or any interest therein except in compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act and any subsequent offer or sale of the Options will be solely for Counterparty’s account and not as part of a distribution that would be in violation of the Securities Act.

  (o) Positions held by Dealer or any of its affiliates solely in its capacity as a nominee or fiduciary and in which the Dealer and its affiliates possess no direct or indirect economic interest, other than, for the avoidance of doubt customary fiduciary, custodial and management fees, do not constitute actual ownership, Beneficial Ownership (as such term is defined in the Trust Agreement) or Constructive Ownership (as such term is defined in the Trust Agreement) by Dealer for purposes of Paragraph 9 the Counterparty’s Trust Agreement. This representation shall no longer apply from and after the date five days after Counterparty provides to Dealer an opinion of nationally recognized legal counsel that ownership as a nominee or fiduciary, with no direct or indirect economic interest other than customary fiduciary, custodial and management fees, constitutes ownership for purposes of Section 318 or Section 542 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

9. Other Provisions:

 

  (a) Opinions . Each of Counterparty and Parent shall deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Premium Payment Date in the form of Exhibit A hereto, with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 8(a) though (d) of this Confirmation.

 

  (b)

Repurchase Notices . Parent shall, at least 10 Scheduled Trading Days prior to any day on which it effects any repurchase of Shares, give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) if, following such repurchase, the Notice Percentage as determined on such day is (i) greater than 4.5% and (ii) greater by 0.5% than the Notice Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice, greater than the Notice Percentage as of the date hereof). The “ Notice Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the Number of Shares and the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. In the event that Parent fails to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this Section 9(b) then Counterparty and Parent agree to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (Dealer and each such person being an “ Indemnified Person ”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealer’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider,” including without limitation any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to this Transaction), claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Person may become subject, including without limitation, Section 16 of the Exchange Act), relating to or arising out of such failure. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Person or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Person, then Counterparty and Parent shall contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Person as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability. In addition, Counterparty and Parent will reimburse any Indemnified Person for all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred (after notice to Counterparty) in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement of any pending or threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation) arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Person is a party thereto and whether or not such claim, action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of Counterparty or Parent. This indemnity shall survive the


 

completion of the Transaction contemplated by this Confirmation and any assignment and delegation of the Transaction made pursuant to this Confirmation or the Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee of Dealer.

 

  (c) Exchange Rate Adjustments . Parent shall provide to Dealer written notice (such notice, an “ Exchange Rate Adjustment Event Notice ”) at least ten Scheduled Trading Days prior to consummating or otherwise executing or engaging in any transaction or event (an “ Exchange Rate Adjustment Event ”) that would lead to a change in the Exchange Rate (as such term is defined in the Indenture). Upon such Exchange Rate Adjustment Event becoming effective, Parent shall, on the day such Exchange Rate Adjustment Event becomes effective or as soon as practicable thereafter, provide to Dealer written notice (such notice, an “ Exchange Rate Adjustment Notice ”) setting forth the new, adjusted Exchange Rate after giving effect to such Exchange Rate Adjustment Event (the “ New Exchange Rate ”). In connection with the delivery of any Exchange Rate Adjustment Event Notice to Dealer, (x) Parent shall, concurrently with or prior to such delivery, publicly announce and disclose the Exchange Rate Adjustment Event or (y) Parent shall, concurrently with such delivery, represent and warrant that the information set forth in such Exchange Rate Adjustment Event Notice does not constitute material non-public information with respect to Parent or the Shares.

 

  (d) Regulation M . Neither Counterparty nor Parent was on the Trade Date engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), of any securities of Counterparty or Parent, as applicable, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M. Neither Counterparty nor Parent shall, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Trade Date, and on any Additional Premium Date, engage in any such distribution.

 

  (e) No Manipulation . Neither Counterparty nor Parent is entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.

 

  (f) Rule 10b-18 . During the period beginning on the Trade Date and ending on any Additional Premium Payment Date, or if no such Additional Premium Payment Date has occurred, on the last date on which Dealer, as representative of the Initial Purchasers, may exercise the over-allotment option set forth in the Purchase Agreement, neither Counterparty nor any “affiliate” or “affiliated purchaser” (each as defined in Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act (“ Rule 10b-18 ”)) shall directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, by means of any cash-settled or other derivative instrument) purchase, offer to purchase, place any bid or limit order that would effect a purchase of, or commence any tender offer relating to, any Shares (or an equivalent interest, including a unit of beneficial interest in a trust or limited partnership or a depository share) or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares, unless Dealer, in its sole discretion, consents to any such transaction or activity.

 

  (g) Number of Repurchased Shares . Each of Counterparty and Parent represents that it could have purchased a number of Shares equal to (i) the product of the Number of Options, Option Entitlement and the amount by which the Cap Price exceeds the Strike Price, divided by (ii) the Cap Price, on the Exchange or otherwise, in compliance with applicable law, its organizational documents and any orders, decrees and contractual agreements binding upon Counterparty or Parent, on the Trade Date.

 

  (h)

Board Authorization . Each of this Transaction and the issuance of the Exchangeable Notes was approved by Counterparty’s and Parent’s Board of Trustees and publicly announced, solely for the purposes stated in such board resolution and public disclosure and, prior to any exercise of Options hereunder, Counterparty’s and Parent’s Board of Trustees will have duly


 

authorized any repurchase of Shares pursuant to this Transaction. Each of Counterparty and Parent further represents that there is no internal policy, whether written or oral, of Counterparty or Parent that would prohibit Counterparty or Parent from entering into any aspect of this Transaction, including, but not limited to, the purchases of Shares to be made pursuant hereto.

 

  (i) Transfer or Assignment . Dealer may transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder and under the Agreement, in whole or in part, to any of its affiliates without the consent of Counterparty, and, upon such transfer or assignment, Dealer shall be discharged of any such obligation to the extent of such affiliate’s performance. If at any time at which the Equity Percentage exceeds 6.5%, Dealer, in its discretion, (i) shall have the right to transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder and under the Agreement, in whole or in part, to any third party with a rating for its long-term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of BBB- or better by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or its successor (“S&P”), or Baa3 by Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or, if either S&P or Moody’s ceases to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or better by a substitute agency rating mutually agreed by Counterparty and Dealer, and (ii), if Dealer is unable to effect a transfer or assignment to a third party after its commercially reasonable efforts on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that the Equity Percentage is reduced to 6.5% or less, Dealer may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the “ Terminated Portion ”) of the Transaction, such that the Equity Percentage following such partial termination will be equal to or less than 6.5%. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment or delivery shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Terminated Portion of the Transaction, (ii) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (iii) such portion of the Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction. The “ Equity Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of the number of Shares that Dealer and its affiliates beneficially own (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act and, without duplication, any shares for which Dealer is the “Beneficial Owner” or “Constructive Owner” within the meaning of the Trust Agreement) on such day, other than Shares owned as a hedge of the Transaction, and the Number of Shares and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of this Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.

 

  (j) Staggered Settlement . If, in the reasonable judgment of Dealer, it is advisable to do so under any applicable law, regulation or internal policy, Dealer may by notice to Counterparty prior to the Settlement Date (the “ Nominal Settlement Date ”), elect to deliver the Shares on two or more dates (each, a “ Staggered Settlement Date ”) or at two or more times on the Nominal Settlement Date as follows:

(i) in such notice, Dealer will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (each of which will be on or prior to such Nominal Settlement Date) or delivery times and how it will allocate the Shares it is otherwise required to deliver on such Settlement Date among the Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times; and

(ii) the aggregate number of Shares that Dealer will deliver to Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates and delivery times will equal the number of Shares that Dealer would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date.


  (k) Early Unwind . In the event the sale by Counterparty of the Exchangeable Notes is not consummated with the initial purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for any reason by the close of business in New York on May 8, 2007 (or such later date as agreed upon by the parties) (May 8, 2007, or such later date being the “ Early Unwind Date ”), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the “ Early Unwind ”), on the Early Unwind Date and (i) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Counterparty thereunder shall be cancelled and terminated and (ii) if the sale of the Exchangeable Notes is not consummated by the initial purchasers for any reason other than as a result of breach of the Purchase Agreement by any initial purchaser, Counterparty shall pay to Dealer an amount in cash equal to the aggregate amount of costs and expenses relating to the unwinding of Dealer’s hedging activities in respect of the Transaction (including market losses incurred in reselling any Shares purchased by Dealer or its affiliates in connection with such hedging activities). Following such termination, cancellation and payment, each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of either party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date. Dealer and Counterparty represent and acknowledge to the other that upon an Early Unwind and following the payment referred to above, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9(k) shall become effective as of the Trade Date and shall remain in effect whether or not the Effective Date of the Transaction occurs.

 

  (l) Role of Agent . (i) Each party agrees and acknowledges that Agent is acting as agent for the parties but does not guarantee the performance of any party and the Dealer shall not contact the Counterparty or the Parent and neither the Parent not the Counterparty shall contact the Dealer with respect to any matter relating to the Transaction without the direct involvement of Agent; (ii) Agent is not a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation; (iii) Agent, Dealer, Counterparty and Parent each hereby acknowledges that any transactions by Dealer or Agent in the Shares will be undertaken by Dealer or Agent, as the case may, as principal for its own account; and (iv) all of the actions to be taken by Dealer and Agent in connection with the Transaction, including but not limited to any exercise of any rights with respect to the Options, shall be taken by Dealer or Agent independently and without any advance or subsequent consultation with Counterparty or Parent, and (v) Agent is hereby authorized to act as agent for Counterparty and Parent only to the extent required to satisfy the requirements of Rule 15a-6 under the Exchange Act in respect of the Options described hereunder.

 

  (m) Dividends . If at any time during the period from and including the Trade Date, to and including the Expiration Date, (i) an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares (an “ Ex-Dividend Date ”), and that dividend is less than the Regular Dividend on a per Share basis or (ii) if no Ex-Dividend Date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares in any quarterly dividend period of Counterparty, then the Calculation Agent will adjust the Cap Price to preserve the fair value of the Options to Dealer after taking into account such dividend or lack thereof. “ Regular Dividend ” shall mean USD 0.57 per Share per quarter.

 

  (n) Additional Termination Events . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, upon the occurrence of an Exchange Date for any Exchangeable Notes prior to March 1, 2012 (an “ Early Exchange ”) or upon the occurrence of a Make Whole Exchange (regardless of the Exchange Date):

 

  (i) Counterparty shall within one Scheduled Trading Day of the relevant Exchange Date provide written notice (an “ Unwind Exchange Notice ”) to Dealer specifying the number of Exchangeable Notes exchanged on such Exchange Date and identifying the related exchanges as Early Exchanges or Make Whole Exchanges, as applicable;


  (ii) such Early Exchange or Make Whole Exchange, as applicable, shall constitute an Additional Termination Event hereunder with respect to a number of Options equal to the Applicable Percentage times the number of Exchangeable Notes surrendered for exchange in connection with such Early Exchange or Make Whole Exchange, as applicable, (the “ Affected Number of Options ”), in which case (x) the sole Affected Transaction shall consist of a transaction identical to the Transaction except that Number of Options for such Affected Transaction shall equal the Affected Number of Options and Counterparty shall be deemed the sole Affected Party and (y) the Transaction shall remain in full force and effect, except that the Number of Options subject to the Transaction immediately prior to the Exchange Date for such Early Exchange or Make Whole Exchange, as applicable, shall as of such Exchange Date be reduced by the Affected Number of Options;

 

  (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, Dealer shall designate an Early Termination Date in respect of such Affected Transaction, which shall be no earlier than one Scheduled Trading Day following the Exchange Date for the related Early Exchange or Make Whole Exchange, as applicable;

 

  (iv) for the avoidance of doubt, in determining the amount payable in respect of such Affected Transaction pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement, the Calculation Agent shall assume that (x) the relevant Early Exchange or Make Whole Exchange, as applicable, had not occurred, and (y) the corresponding Exchangeable Notes remain outstanding.

 

  (o) Disclosure . Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Counterparty and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents 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 to Counterparty relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

 

  (p) Setoff . In addition to and without limiting any rights of set-off that a party hereto may have as a matter of law, pursuant to contract or otherwise, upon the occurrence of an Early Termination Date, Dealer shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to Counterparty under this Confirmation, including without limitation any obligation to make any payment of cash or delivery of Shares to Counterparty, against any obligation Counterparty may have to Dealer under any other agreement between Dealer and Counterparty relating to Shares (each such contract or agreement, a “ Separate Agreement ”), including without limitation any obligation to make a payment of cash or a delivery of Shares or any other property or securities. For this purpose, Dealer shall be entitled to convert any obligation (or the relevant portion of such obligation) denominated in one currency into another currency at the rate of exchange at which it would be able to purchase the relevant amount of such currency, and to convert any obligation to deliver any non-cash property into an obligation to deliver cash in an amount calculated by reference to the market value of such property as of the Early Termination Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion; provided that in the case of a set-off of any obligation to release or deliver assets against any right to receive fungible assets, such obligation and right shall be set off in kind and; provided further that in determining the value of any obligation to deliver Shares, the value at any time of such obligation shall be determined by reference to the market value of the Shares at such time, as determined in good faith by the Calculation Agent. If an obligation is unascertained at the time of any such set-off, the Calculation Agent may in good faith estimate the amount or value of such obligation, in which case set-off will be effected in respect of that estimate, and the relevant party shall account to the other party at the time such obligation or right is ascertained.

 

  (q)

  (r) Securities Contract; Swap Agreement .

The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge (A) that this Confirmation is (i) a “securities contract,” as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder is a “settlement payment,” as such term is defined in Section 741(8) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) a “swap agreement,” as such term is defined in Section 101(53B) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder is a “transfer,” as such term is defined in Section 101(54) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (B) that Dealer is entitled to the protections afforded by, among other sections, Section 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code.

  (u) Right to Extend . Dealer may postpone any Exercise Date or any other date of valuation or delivery by Dealer, with respect to some or all of the relevant Options (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the number of Net Shares to be Delivered or Option Cash Settlement Amount, as applicable), if Dealer determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Dealer’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable Dealer to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Counterparty or an affiliated purchaser of Counterparty, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer.

 

  (v)

Registration . Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable judgment of Dealer, the Shares (the “ Hedge Shares ”) acquired by Dealer for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transaction cannot be sold in the U.S. public market by Dealer without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall, at its election: (i) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available to Dealer an effective registration statement under the Securities Act to cover the resale of such Hedge Shares and (A) enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered offering, (B) provide accountant’s “comfort” letters in customary form for registered offerings of equity securities, (C) provide disclosure opinions of nationally recognized outside counsel to Counterparty reasonably acceptable to Dealer, (D) provide other customary opinions, certificates and closing documents customary in form for registered offerings of equity securities and (E) afford Dealer a reasonable opportunity to conduct a “due diligence” investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities; provided, however , that if Dealer, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with access to due

Failure to Deliver:    Applicable
Other applicable provisions:    If the Transaction is to be Share Termination Settled, the provisions of Sections 9.9, 9.11, 9.12 and 10.5 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to “Physically- Settled” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”. “Share Termination Settled” in relation to the Transaction means that Share Termination Settlement is applicable to the Transaction.

Exhibit 10.8

BINDING MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

THIS BINDING MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (“ MOU ”) is entered into by and between Valley View Downs, LP, a Pennsylvania limited partnership (the “ Partnership ”), Centaur Pennsylvania, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company (“ Centaur ”), and PR Valley View Downs, L.P., a Pennsylvania limited partnership (“ PREIT ”). Subject to the limitations set forth below, the parties hereto intending to be legally bound hereby, and each having received good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, agree as follows:

1. Binding Nature . This MOU is LEGALLY BINDING AND ENFORCEABLE on the Partnership, Centaur and PREIT. The parties acknowledge that this MOU contains the material business terms of the transaction described herein and that they will use their respective good faith business efforts to enter into one or more mutually satisfactory formal written agreements embodying the terms of this MOU (“ Definitive Agreements ”), which may also contain additional customary terms and conditions regarding the subject matter hereof.

2. Background . The Partnership has acquired options (the “ Property Options ”) on land in Beaver County, Pennsylvania (the “ Property ”) and made an application for a Harness Racing License (the “ Racing License ”) in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the facility at which such activities will be conducted, the “ Track ”). A list of the Property Options, and the material terms of each, is attached hereto as Exhibit “A”. If the Racing License is awarded, the Partnership intends to build the Track on the Property. In addition, if the Partnership is awarded a license to conduct alternative gaming (“ Alternative Gaming ”) at the Track, the Partnership intends to construct facilities for the operation of Alternative Gaming on the Property (the construction of the Track and the construction of Alternative Gaming facilities on the Property, the “ Improvements ”). The Partnership hereby represents and warrants to PREIT that all of the Property Options are held (whether through assignment or otherwise) in the name of the Partnership, and that the real property subject to the Property Options comprise all of the land necessary for construction of the Improvements.

3. Initial PREIT Payment .

(a) Upon the execution and delivery of this MOU, PREIT shall pay to the Partnership $982,988 which is an amount equal to 20% of (i) the Current Total Equity (as hereinafter defined) less all Property Costs, divided by (ii) 0.80 (the “ Initial PREIT Payment ”).

(b) For purposes of this MOU:

(i) “ Current Total Equity ” means, as of the date hereof, the total cash amount contributed to the Partnership or paid for or on behalf of the Partnership by (A) Centaur or any of its affiliates, including, without limitation, all Property Costs, and (B) all other limited partners of or investors in the Partnership, which is equal to $4,519,199; and


(ii) “ Property Costs ” means, as of the date hereof, the sum of all amounts paid by or on behalf of the Partnership (A) to acquire and/or extend the Property Options, (B) in respect of Property related due diligence costs such as environmental studies, soil tests, zoning, title, surveys, and legal fees, or (C) to rezone the Property, which is equal to $587,247.

The actual amounts of Current Total Equity and Property Costs are set forth with specificity in Exhibit “B” attached hereto and made a part hereof.

(c) The Partnership shall distribute the proceeds of the Initial PREIT Payment to Centaur in an amount not to exceed the Property Costs.

(d) Neither the Initial PREIT Payment, nor any advances by PREIT of the Improvement Allowance, shall be deemed to be a loan to the Partnership.

4. Acquisition of the Property .

(a) If, prior to receipt by the Partnership of the Racing License, it is necessary for the Partnership to acquire the Property (for example, because of the expiration of the Property Options or because it is not possible to extend the Property Options, it being agreed that the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to extend any Property Options expiring prior to the date on which it is anticipated the Partnership will receive the Racing License), the Partnership may exercise such options and acquire the Property. In such case, subject to Section 5(d) below, PREIT shall pay the Partnership 20% of all costs incurred by the Partnership in exercising the Property Options and acquiring the Property (the “ Property Acquisition Costs ”). Thereafter, once the Partnership acquires the Racing License, the Partnership shall transfer the Property to PREIT and PREIT shall reimburse the Partnership for all Property Acquisition Costs paid by the Partnership and not previously reimbursed by PREIT.

(b) If, after receipt by the Partnership of the Racing License, the Partnership has not yet acquired the Property, the Partnership shall assign the Property Options to PREIT and PREIT shall (at the direction of the Partnership) exercise such options and acquire the Property. In such case, subject to Section 5(d) below, PREIT shall pay all Property Acquisition Costs.

(c) The Partnership shall not select a site in lieu of the Property for the Track or the conduct of Alternative Gaming activities unless the Property is unacceptable to regulatory authorities for the conduct of horse racing and Alternative Gaming. In the event that the Partnership selects an alternative site, PREIT shall have the same rights and obligations as those described herein with respect to such other property (and such other property shall be considered the “ Property ” hereunder) and PREIT shall be given credit for all amounts expended by PREIT with respect to the original Property or Property Options.

 

- 2 -


(d) For purposes of this MOU, “ Total Equity ” means, as of any date of determination, (i) the aggregate amount theretofore paid to or for the benefit of the Partnership by PREIT (including, without limitation, all amounts paid under Sections 3(a) , 4(a) and 4(b) above), and (ii) any and all cash capital contributions of the partners of the Partnership (or their affiliates), including, without limitation, Centaur made prior to or on such date. A list of such cash capital contributions as of the date hereof is attached as Exhibit “C” hereto.

5. Lease of the Property . Simultaneously with the acquisition of the Property by PREIT as described in Section 4 above, PREIT and the Partnership shall enter into a ground lease for the Property (the “ PREIT Lease ”) containing the following principal terms:

(a) Triple Net Ground Lease . The PREIT Lease will be a triple net ground lease pursuant to which PREIT, as lessor, will lease the Property to the Partnership, as lessee, and thereafter, the Partnership, as lessee, shall be responsible for all costs and expenses of the ownership and operation of the Property, including, without limitation, all costs of the construction of Improvements (subject to the Improvements Allowance, as hereinafter defined) and the payment of taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance, repair and other costs of the ownership and operation of the Property; it being the intent of the parties that all Rent (as hereinafter defined) shall be payable to PREIT net of all costs associated with the Property.

(b) Improvements; Use . The PREIT Lease will obligate the Partnership, as lessee, to make all site improvements, construct on the Property at its sole cost and expense, subject to the Improvements Allowance, the Track, an Alternate Gaming facility and ancillary parking and facilities. The Property must be used and operated by the Partnership solely as a Track and an Alternative Gaming facility.

(c) Improvements Allowance . PREIT shall contribute toward the cost of the Improvements an amount (the “ Improvements Allowance ”) equal to 20% of the costs of such Improvements which amount shall be paid to the Partnership at the same times and in the same proportion as the remaining 80% of such costs are paid by the Partnership; provided , however , that if at any time after the Partnership has obtained funding of the first tranche of the Senior Debt and/or Mezzanine Financing, an Improvements Allowance payment is required to be made by PREIT, and the aggregate amount theretofore paid to or for the benefit of the Partnership by PREIT (including, without limitation, all amounts paid under Sections 3(a) , 4(a) and 4(b) above, such as the Initial PREIT Payment or in respect of Property Acquisition Costs, or in respect of Improvements Allowances) (the “ Aggregate PREIT Payments ”) is greater than 20% of Total Equity, PREIT would not be required to make any Improvement Allowance payments until the Aggregate PREIT Payments represent only 20% of Total Equity, after which PREIT would be obligated to make Improvements Allowance payments as set forth above.

(d) Limitations on Aggregate PREIT Payments . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein set forth, in no event shall PREIT have any obligation to make any payments to or for the benefit of the Partnership (whether under Sections 3(a) , 4(a) or 4(b) above, such as the Initial PREIT Payment or in respect of Property Acquisition Costs, in respect of Improvements Allowances, or otherwise) to the extent that making any such payment would cause the Aggregate PREIT Payments to exceed $10 million.

The Buyout Amount, in the case of a put, shall be paid in equal installments of principal and interest over two (2) years with interest at 2% per annum in excess of the prime rate. In such case, PREIT shall convey to Property to the Partnership at the closing, which shall occur on the same schedule as a closing would occur in a call, and the Partnership shall grant PREIT a first priority mortgage lien on the Property to secure such payments.

 

- 4 -


(h) Leasehold Mortgages . The PREIT Lease will permit the Partnership to grant leasehold mortgages in connection with its “Senior Debt” or “Mezzanine Financing”, and will provide usual and customary rights to permitted leasehold mortgagees (the “ Leasehold Mortgagees ”) of notice and the right to cure an event of default and the right to enter into a replacement lease (subject to regulatory approval). Leasehold Mortgagees will be limited to recognized banks, insurance companies, pension funds and similar institutional investors.

(i) Subordination . Neither the fee title to the Property nor the Minimum Rent will be subordinate to the Partnership’s Leasehold Mortgages.

(j) Casualty/Condemnation . The PREIT Lease will contain customary casualty and condemnation provisions with the Partnership being required to rebuild the Improvements in the case of a partial condemnation or casualty. Proceeds not used for rebuilding shall be paid first to the leasehold mortgagees, next to PREIT to the value of its interest, and any excess will be paid to the Partnership.

(k) Assignment . The PREIT Lease may be assigned by the lessee without PREIT’s consent to a licensed Track and Alternative Gaming facility operator which assumes all of the lessee’s obligations thereunder. The PREIT Lease may be assigned by PREIT without lessee’s consent to an affiliate of PREIT, to any entity in connection with a merger or sale of substantially all of its assets of Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust and to any other financially qualified and reputable owner and operator of real estate. Any such assignment by PREIT shall be subject to any required approval by the Track and Alternative Gaming regulators.

(l) Defaults . The PREIT Lease shall contain usual and customary rights and remedies of a lessor upon the default of a lessee.

(m) Restriction . The PREIT Lease will prohibit the Partnership, any partner in the Partnership, any principal in the Partnership or any affiliate of any thereof (collectively, a “ Related Party ”) from acquiring any property adjacent to or in the vicinity of the Property and operating Alternative Gaming facilities thereon. The PREIT Lease will also prohibit PREIT, the Partnership or any Related Party from owning or operating any other facility for any use within a two (2) mile radius of the Property.

(n) Lease Form . The initial draft of the PREIT Lease will be prepared by PREIT, but it shall be consistent with the provisions of this MOU and otherwise satisfactory in form and substance to PREIT and the Partnership.

6. Development Fee . The Partnership shall pay to PREIT-Rubin, Inc. or an affiliate thereof (the “ Developer ”) a development fee (the “ Development Fee ”) of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000). If the development of the Property is phased, the Development Fee shall be divided between the phases in proportion to the estimated capital costs of each phase. The Development Fee for the first phase shall be paid in equal quarterly installments in arrears based upon the estimated time between the award of the Racing License and the Alternative Gaming Commencement Date, commencing in the calendar quarter in which the Racing License is awarded. The Development Fee for the second phase will be paid in equal quarterly installments

 

- 5 -


in arrears based on the estimated length of the second phase, from the date on which the Developer commences to spend considerable time on the planning of the second phase to the projected date for the completion of construction of the second phase. If the second phase is not commenced by the end of the third anniversary of the Alternative Gaming Commencement Date, the balance of the Development Fee shall be paid to the Developer in 81 equal monthly installments until such balance of the Development Fee plus interest thereon has been paid in full. The Partnership and the Developer will enter into a Development Agreement pursuant to which the Developer shall agree to provide customary management services for all aspects of the development and construction phases, as reasonably directed by the Partnership, including, without limitation, conducting all bid processes, selecting contractors, negotiating contractor agreements and bonds, procuring insurance, bonding and licensing, architectural and engineering planning, design and approval, monitoring and authorizing contractor progress payments and services, on-site supervision of all construction activities, reporting to the Partnership and the applicable regulatory authorities as directed by the Partnership. The Development Agreement will also provide that all contracts will be in the name and for the account of the Partnership, all project personnel will be employees of the Partnership, the Partnership will purchase liability insurance (naming the Developer, PREIT and the lessee as additional insureds) and builders’risk insurance and the liability of the Developer shall be limited to its fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Development Fee for the first phase will accrue, and not be paid, until the closing of the first tranche of Senior Debt and/or Mezzanine Financing, at which time such accrued Development Fee shall be paid.

7. Cooperation . PREIT will upon written request promptly file and submit (a) all applications and information as Centaur advises are reasonably necessary to enable the Partnership to obtain the Racing License and all other licenses and permits necessary for it to lease and operate the Track in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and to operate Alternative Gaming facilities; and (b) all information reasonably requested by Centaur in order for it to comply with the requirements of any regulatory authority to which it or any of its affiliates is or are subject in any other jurisdiction. Centaur agrees to keep PREIT’s information confidential, unless and to the extent disclosure is required by law or any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over Centaur or any of its affiliates.

8. Unsuitability .

(a) PREIT . In the event that PREIT is subject to regulatory investigation and fails to participate in such investigatory process or is otherwise deemed unsuitable by any applicable regulatory authority at any time, and if PREIT cannot cure such unsuitability to the satisfaction of such regulatory authority within any applicable cure period given therefor, the Partnership shall have the right to purchase PREIT’s entire interest in the Property for a price equal to: (i) if such unsuitability condition occurs prior to the Alternative Gaming Commencement Date, an amount equal to the sum of (x) the Aggregate PREIT Payments as of such date, and (y) accrued and unpaid Rent; and (ii) if such unsuitability condition occurs on or after the Alternative Gaming Commencement Date, an amount equal to 90% of the fair market value of PREIT’s fee simple interest in the Property, taking into account its interest as landlord under the PREIT Lease, but not less than the sum of (x) the Aggregate PREIT Payments as of such date, plus (y) accrued and unpaid Rent.

 

- 6 -


(b) The Partnership . In the event the Partnership is subject to regulatory investigation and is deemed unsuitable by any applicable regulatory authority at any time to operate the Track and/or the Alternative Gaming facility, and if the Partnership cannot cure such unsuitability to the satisfaction of such regulatory authority within any applicable cure period given therefor, the Partnership shall sell its entire interest in the PREIT Lease, transfer its Racing License and its license to conduct Alternative Gaming, assign the Management Agreement, and sell all other interests it has or may have in the businesses conducted at the Property to a purchaser which is deemed suitable by the applicable regulatory authorities for a price not in excess of (i) if such unsuitability condition occurs prior to the Alternative Gaming Commencement Date, an amount equal to the sum of (x) any partner of the Partnership’s capital contributions which have not been reimbursed by PREIT, plus (y) all accrued and unpaid management fees owed to Centaur or any of its affiliates; and (ii) if such unsuitability condition occurs on or after the Alternative Gaming Commencement Date, an amount equal to 90% of the fair market value of the Partnership, but not less than the sum of (x) any partner of the Partnership’s capital contributions which have not been reimbursed by PREIT, plus (y) all accrued and unpaid management fees owed to Centaur or any of its affiliates.

(c) Determination of Fair Market Value . For the purposes of this Section 8 , the fair market value of the Property or of the Partnership, as the case may be, shall be determined pursuant to the agreement of PREIT and the Partnership or, to the extent that such agreement could not be reached, pursuant to an appraisal process whereby each of the parties selects an appraiser. If the results of the parties’ appraisers are within 5% of each other, then the average of such appraisals shall be final; however, if the results differ more than 5%, then the parties’ appraisers shall select a third independent appraiser whose result shall be final on the parties.

9. Centaur’s Matters . To induce PREIT to enter into this MOU, Centaur represents and warrants to PREIT that:

(a) Centaur is in good standing (where such concept is meaningful) under all licenses currently held by Centaur or any affiliate of Centaur to conduct racing, gaming or other regulated business, and that neither Centaur nor any affiliate of Centaur presently is the subject of a proceeding by a regulatory authority seeking the suspension or revocation of its license to conduct racing, gaming or other regulated business, or seeking any other sanction for the violation of the laws or regulations governing such racing, gaming or other regulated business.

(b) Centaur shall cause the Partnership to raise sufficient capital to pay its obligations under this MOU and if and to the extent the Partnership is unable to raise such capital from third parties, Centaur shall contribute the necessary amounts to cause the Partnership to pay the amount of its obligations hereunder in full.

10. Confidentiality; Permitted Disclosure; Securities Laws .

(a) Confidentiality . Without the prior consent of the other parties hereto, each party hereto agrees to keep confidential and not to disclose to third parties the existence of this MOU, the negotiations and terms of the Definitive Agreements or any of the terms, conditions or other facts concerning the subject matter of the MOU.

 

- 7 -


(b) Permitted Disclosure . Notwithstanding the foregoing: Centaur may disclose this MOU to: (i) regulatory authorities in connection with the application for the Racing License or any license for Alternative Gaming, and may file a copy of this MOU as a part of such application if required by law or regulation, or to any other regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over Centaur or any of its affiliates, and (ii) proposed lenders or equity investors, provided such proposed lenders or equity investors agree to keep the same confidential; and PREIT and its affiliates may disclose this MOU, including the making of press releases or other public announcements, and may file a copy of this MOU, to the extent that PREIT or any affiliate reasonably believes such disclosure or filing is required by law or by the applicable rules of any securities exchange.

(c) Securities Laws . PREIT’s ultimate parent, Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (“ Parent ”), is a public company whose stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Centaur acknowledges that it is aware, and shall advise its employees, officers, consultants and agents who receive a copy of this MOU or are informed as to the subject matters contained herein, that the securities laws of the United States prohibit any person who has received material non-public information from purchasing or selling securities of the Parent, or from communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities, so long as such information has not been disclosed to the public.

11. Failure to Execute Definitive Agreements . This MOU is intended to be legally binding upon the parties hereto as to the terms and provisions set forth herein. If the parties hereto fail to enter into the Definitive Agreements by reason of their inability to agree on material business or legal provisions not dealt with herein, no party shall have liability to another party on account thereof.

12. No Partnership or Joint Venture . PREIT’s rights and obligations hereunder shall be as a landlord. PREIT shall not be deemed to be a partner in the Partnership and the provisions hereof shall not be construed in such a fashion as to treat PREIT as a partner in, or joint venturer with, the Partnership.

13. Severability . If any provision contained in this MOU shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this MOU (and the application of such provision to persons or circumstances, if any, other than those in respect of which it is invalid or unenforceable) shall not be affected thereby, and each and every provision of this MOU shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

14. Construction . The parties agree that each and every provision of this MOU has been mutually negotiated, prepared and drafted, each party has been represented by counsel, and in connection with the construction of any provisions hereof or deletions herefrom, no consideration shall be given to the issue of which party actually prepared, drafted, requested or negotiated any provision or deletion.

 

- 8 -


15. Counterpart Copies . This MOU may be signed in counterpart copies which shall be taken together as one and the same instrument.

16. Entire Agreement; Amendment . This MOU supersedes all previous written agreements, all proposals and drafts and all oral agreements and discussions with respect to the subject matter hereof. This MOU cannot be amended or modified except in a writing signed by all parties hereto. Any purported oral amendment or modification of this MOU shall be null and void, and shall have no effect unless and until reduced to writing and signed by all parties hereto.

17. Contribution Agreement . After the execution of this MOU and the payment by PREIT of the Initial PREIT Payment, but prior to the advance by PREIT of any further funds, PREIT and the Partnership shall enter into a Contribution Agreement consistent with the provisions hereof which, inter alia , shall have a definitive form of the Ground Lease attached thereto as an exhibit.

Exhibit 10.9

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO BINDING MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO BINDING MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (this “ Amendment ”) dated as of October 1, 2007 by and among Valley View Downs, L.P., a Pennsylvania limited partnership (the “Partnership” ), Centaur Pennsylvania, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company ( “Centaur” ), PREIT-Rubin, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Developer” ) and PR Valley View Downs, L.P., a Pennsylvania limited partnership ( “PREIT” ).

Background

The Partnership has submitted an application for a Harness Racing License in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the “ Racing License ”) with the intent to construct a facility for harness racing (the “ Track ”) on real property located in Beaver County, Pennsylvania (the “ Property ”). If awarded the Racing License, the Partnership intends to apply for an alternative gaming license (the “ Alternative Gaming ”) and to construct the facilities for operating Alternative Gaming at the Track (the Track and Alternative Gaming facilities on the Property, collectively, the “ Improvements ”).

The Partnership, Centaur and PREIT entered into a Binding Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU” ) dated October 7, 2004 pursuant to which, inter alia , PREIT made certain payments to the Partnership and agreed to make additional payments to the Partnership, the Partnership agreed to purchase some of the Property and enter into options to acquire portions of the Property, PREIT agreed to acquire the Property and lease it to the Partnership pursuant to a ground lease (the “ PREIT Lease ”), the Partnership and the Developer agreed to enter into a Development Agreement pursuant to which the Developer would provide customary management services for all aspects of the development and construction phases of the Improvements, and the parties agreed to enter into a Contribution Agreement and other definitive documents to implement the provisions of the MOU.

The Partnership, or an affiliate of the Partnership and/or Centaur, expects to be awarded or to acquire a Racing License and a license for Alternative Gaming in Pennsylvania that permits the construction of the Improvements at the Property or a location different from the location specified in the Partnership’s Application for a Racing License (the “ Alternative Location ”). The Partnership, Centaur, Developer and PREIT desire to amend the MOU to eliminate further contributions by PREIT, to terminate PREIT’s right to purchase the Property and lease the Property to the Partnership pursuant to the MOU and PREIT Lease, to terminate PREIT’s right to purchase the Alternative Location and lease the Alternative Location pursuant to the MOU and the PREIT Lease and to eliminate certain other provisions of the MOU, but the parties have agreed to retain the Developer to provide customary management services for all aspects of the development and construction phases of the Improvements (such construction of the Improvements at the Property or the Alternative Location are referred to herein as the “ Project ”). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have their respective meanings set forth in the MOU.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

1. Deleted Provisions . Section 2, the last sentence of Section 11, the first sentence of Section 12, Section 14 and Section 17 the MOU and all Exhibits to the MOU are hereby deleted from the MOU in their entirety.

2. Initial PREIT Payment . Section 3 of the MOU is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:

“3. Initial PREIT Payment . Upon execution of the MOU, PREIT paid the Partnership the sum of $982,988 (the “ Initial PREIT Payment ”) on account of the total funds which PREIT would be required to advance for the acquisition of the Property and the Improvement Allowance under the PREIT Lease. There shall be no interest payable on the Initial PREIT Payment from the date on which it was advanced until execution of this Amendment. Interest shall accrue on the Initial PREIT Payment from the date of this Amendment at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. The Licensee (as defined in Section 4) shall repay the Initial PREIT Payment, together with interest accrued on the Initial PREIT Payment, in twenty-four (24) equal consecutive monthly installments commencing on the earlier of (i) the date which is sixty (60) days after the commencement of Alternative Gaming at the Property or (ii) October 1, 2014 and continuing until twenty-four (24) monthly payments have been paid, each payment to be calculated as follows: on the day before the day on which the first payment is due, accrued interest shall be added to the Initial PREIT Payment and the total shall be multiplied 0.0461449. The product shall be the monthly installment amount. By way of example, assume that the sixtieth (60 th ) day after the commencement of Alternative Gaming is one (1) year following the execution of this Amendment. In such event, each monthly installment payment would be $49,895.87 ($982,988 x 110% x 0.0461449 = $49,895.87).

3. Termination of Right to Purchase and Lease the Property . Section 4 and Section 5 of the MOU are hereby deleted in their entirety and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:

“4. Termination of Certain Rights . The Racing License and license for Alternative Gaming will authorize the Partnership, Centaur or an affiliate of either (the entity holding such licenses, the “ Licensee ”) to construct and develop the Project at either the Property or the Alternative Location. The Partnership, Centaur, PREIT and the Developer desire to terminate PREIT’s rights to purchase the Property or the Alternative Location and enter into the PREIT Lease with respect thereto. Accordingly, PREIT surrenders, waives and terminates its rights to purchase the Property or the Alternative Location, to enter the PREIT Lease with respect thereto and any other rights and obligations associated with the Project, except those rights and obligations specifically contained in the Development Agreement. As consideration to PREIT to surrender, waive and terminate its rights as aforesaid, the Licensee agrees to pay PREIT Fifty Seven Million Dollars ($57,000,000) (the “ Termination Amount ”) payable as follows: one hundred eight (108) consecutive monthly installments of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand

 

- 2 -


Dollars ($250,000) each, commencing on March 1, 2010, and continuing thereafter on the first day of each succeeding month to and including February 1, 2019, plus a final installment of Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000) payable on March 1, 2019. The parties agree that the Termination Amount includes an imputed interest factor of twelve percent (12%) per annum from the date of the execution of this Amendment to the date of payment of any installment, which interest factor is part of, and not in addition to, the installment amounts described above.”

4. Development Agreement . Section 6 of the MOU is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:

“6. Development Agreement. Upon the award of a Racing License to, or the acquisition of a Racing License by, the Licensee, the Licensee will enter into a Development Agreement with the Developer pursuant to which the Developer shall agree to provide customary management services for all aspects of the development and construction phases of the Project, as reasonably directed by the Licensee, including, without limitation, conducting all bid processes, selecting contractors, negotiating contractor agreements and bonds, procuring insurance, bonding and licensing, architectural and engineering planning, design and approval, monitoring and authorizing contractor progress payments and services, on-site supervision of all construction activities, reporting to the Licensee and the applicable regulatory authorities as directed by the Licensee. The Development Agreement will also provide that all contracts will be in the name and for the account of the Licensee, all project personnel will be employees of the Licensee, the Licensee will purchase liability insurance (naming the Developer as an additional insured) and builders’ risk insurance and the liability of the Developer shall be limited to its fees unless such liability is a result of Developer’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

“The fee ( “Development Fee” ) for such services shall be Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), and shall accrue and be payable as follows: One Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000) per month shall accrue beginning on October 1, 2007 and continuing through September 1, 2009, such accrued Development Fee to be paid as set forth below: Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) per month shall be paid beginning on April 1, 2009 and continuing thereafter on the first day of each succeeding month to and including August 1, 2009; thereafter, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) per month shall be paid on September 1, 2009 and continuing thereafter on the first day of each succeeding month to and including January 1, 2010; and a final payment of One Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000) shall be paid on February 1, 2010. The Development Agreement shall provide, as a part of the Development Fee, that a senior executive of the Developer will be responsible for overseeing the Project, the Project shall be his primary assignment, and such senior executive will devote sufficient time and attention to the Project to properly supervise the performance of PREIT’s obligations under the Development Agreement. Rich Zeigler will be the senior executive of the Developer responsible for overseeing the Project. If Rich Zeigler is no longer employed by the Developer or an affiliate, or if the Licensee requests that Rich Zeigler be removed from the Project, or if, with the consent of the Licensee, which consent shall not

 

- 3 -


be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, the Developer desires to replace Rich Zeigler with a different senior executive, the new senior executive responsible for overseeing the Project shall be subject to the mutual agreement of the Licensee and the Developer. The Development Agreement shall otherwise be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A .”

5. Overdue Interest . If any installment payment of the Termination Amount or the Development Fee is not paid when due, such overdue installment shall bear interest, calculated on the basis of a 360 day year, from the date due until the date paid at the prime rate of interest set forth in the Money Rates column of The Wall Street Journal plus five percent (5%) per annum, compounded annually (the “ Overdue Interest ”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Overdue Interest shall be payable if any installment payment of the Development Fee or the Termination Amount is not paid when due unless PREIT or the Developer, as the case may be, shall have given the Licensee written notice of such failure to pay such installment and such overdue installment has not been paid within five (5) days following the giving of such written notice; provided, however, no such notice need be given and no such period of grace shall be allowed more than twice in any twelve (12) month period. For the purposes of this section, written notice shall include a notice sent by facsimile transmission or by email, in each case addressed to the President or other senior executive of the Licensee.

6. Unsuitability . Section 7 and Section 8 of the MOU are hereby deleted in their entirety and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:

“7. Regulatory Approval of Development Agreement, MOU and Amendment; Unsuitability . The parties acknowledge that the Licensee’s ability to construct the Improvements are subject to the approval of the Pennsylvania State Harness Racing Commission and the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (the “ Regulatory Authority ”). The Licensee shall disclose the terms and provisions of the Development Agreement, MOU and the Amendment (collectively, the Project Documents ”) to the Regulatory Authority and PREIT shall co-operate with the Licensee in obtaining any approvals from the Regulatory Authority with respect thereto as is required. PREIT and the Developer shall, upon the written request of the Licensee or the Regulatory Authority, promptly file and submit all applications and information as Centaur advises are reasonably necessary to enable the Licensee to obtain the Regulatory Authority’s approval of the Project Documents. PREIT and the Developer’s obligations shall include taking reasonable, affirmative action to comply with any conditions the Regulatory Authority places on its approval of the Project Documents, including an application for a supplier license if so required.

7. Construction and Mutual Waiver . The parties agree that each and every provision of the MOU and the Amendment have been mutually negotiated, prepared and drafted by the parties’ respective counsel. The parties further acknowledge that the Amendment materially changes the parties rights and obligations with respect to the Project as set forth in the original MOU. By execution of this Amendment, PREIT, the Developer, Centaur and the Partnership have released and waived any legal or equitable claims related to the rights and obligations of the parties as set forth in the original MOU and terminated by this Amendment. The parties acknowledge that, as of the date of execution of this Amendment, there are no defaults under the MOU or this Amendment, nor does any circumstance currently exist that, but for the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would be such a default.

 

- 4 -


8. Counterparts, Separate Signature Pages and Facsimile Signatures . This Amendment may be executed in several counterparts, by separate signature pages, and/or by facsimile signatures, each of which may be deemed an original, and all such counterparts, separate signature pages, and facsimile signature pages together shall constitute one and the same Amendment.

9. Amended MOU Ratified; Entire Agreement; Amendment . The MOU as amended and modified by this Amendment is hereby ratified and confirmed and supersedes all previous written agreements, all proposal and drafts and all oral agreements and discussions with respect to the subject matter hereof. The MOU or this Amendment cannot be amended or modified except in a writing signed by all parties hereto. Any purported oral amendment or modification of the MOU or this Amendment shall be null and void, and shall have no effect unless and until reduced to writing and signed by all parties hereto.

10. Reimbursement of Pre-Award Costs . Prior to the award of the Racing License, Centaur and the Partnership have requested Rich Zeigler and other employees of the Developer to begin work on the Project. The Developer shall keep track of the time and out-of-pocket costs expended by the Developer prior to the award of the Racing License, and shall bill Centaur monthly for a prorated allocation of the salary and benefits of Rich Zeigler and such other employees of the Developer and all out-of-pocket costs (the “ Pre-Award Costs ”). Centaur shall cause its parent company to pay such invoices for Pre-Award Costs within sixty (60) days after the commencement of Alternative Gaming at the Project, or if the Project is abandoned, within sixty days following its abandonment. If the Racing License is awarded, any sums paid to the Developer on account of such prorated allocation of the salary and benefits of Rich Zeigler and other employees of the Developer shall be credited against the first sums due and payable under the Development Agreement. Centaur or its parent shall have no obligation to pay out-of-pocket Pre-Award Costs over Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) unless such amounts are approved by Centaur, the Partnership or the Licensee in writing. The Developer must provide monthly summaries of incurred Pre-Award Costs.

Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies for the non-payment of such use and occupancy tax that it has upon Tenant’s failure to pay rent hereunder. Landlord agrees to pay the sums collected by it to the appropriate governmental authorities in a timely manner, and will be solely responsible to pay any penalties or interest occasioned by Landlord’s delay in remitting such sums.

B. “TAXES” or “TAX” shall mean all taxes, assessments and governmental charges, whether federal, state, county or municipal, including any special services district fees or levies, and whether general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, imposed upon the Building (to the extent allocable to the office portion of the Building), all computed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease, including the reasonable cost and expenses (including attorney and appraisal fees) of contesting Taxes. It is agreed between Landlord and Tenant that Taxes shall not include any taxes, including income taxes (other than business privilege taxes and gross receipts taxes), imposed on the gross or net income of Landlord from the operation of the Building. It is further agreed between Landlord and Tenant that Taxes shall be allocable to the office portion of the Building by means of a written appraisal of the Building to be prepared at Landlord’s request. Additionally, in the event that the Building or the uses thereof are substantially altered or modified at any time during the Term or extension thereof so that the original allocation of total Taxes assessed against the Building among the retail portion, office portion, and hotel portion of the Building becomes inequitable, Landlord shall equitably determine a reallocation of Taxes in light of such alteration or modification. If at any time during the Term the present system of taxation of property shall be changed or supplemented so that in lieu of or in addition to the tax on property there shall be assessed on Landlord or the Building any tax of any nature which is imposed in whole or in part, in substitution for or in lieu of any tax which would otherwise constitute a Tax, such shall be deemed to be included within the term Taxes, but only to the extent that the same would be payable if the Building was the only property of Landlord.

C. “TENANT’S OMC PERCENTAGE” is that percentage specified in subsection 1.K.

D. “TENANT’S OMC” means the OMC Sum for a calendar year included within the Term and any extension thereof, less the OMC Sum for the Base Year specified in subsection 1.J., multiplied by Tenant’s OMC Percentage.

E. “TENANT’S TAX PERCENTAGE” is that percentage specified in subsection M.

 

- 8 -


F. “TENANT’S TAX CHARGE” means the Taxes for a calendar year included within the Term or any extensions thereof, less the Base Year Taxes specified in subsection 1.L., multiplied by Tenant’s Tax Percentage.

G. “TAX YEAR” shall mean each calendar year, or such other period of twelve (12) months, which may be duly adopted as the fiscal year for payment of Taxes by the governmental unit in which the Building is located.

6. TENANT’S OMC AND TENANT’S TAX CHARGE.

A. ANNUAL ADJUSTMENT. During each calendar year or portion thereof included in the Term and any extension thereof, Tenant shall pay Landlord as additional rent Tenant’s OMC and Tenant’s Tax Charge.

B. PROCEDURES.

(1) During December of each calendar year, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of its estimate of the amounts of Tenant’s OMC payable for the ensuing calendar year. On or before the first day of each month during each calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12) of the amounts estimated as aforesaid, provided that if such notice is not given in December, Tenant shall continue to pay on the basis of one hundred three percent (103%) of the then applicable sums of Tenant’s OMC until the month after such notice is given. If at any time or times it appears to Landlord that the sums payable under subsection 6.A. above for the current calendar year will vary from its estimate by more than five percent (5%), Landlord shall, by notice to Tenant, revise its estimate for such year, and subsequent payments by Tenant for such year shall be based upon such revised estimate.

(2) If Taxes for any Tax Year occurring during the term of this Lease shall be greater than the Base Year Taxes, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent, an amount equal to Tenant’s Tax Charge with respect to said Tax Year. If less than a full twelve (12) month period of a Tax Year is included within the term of this Lease, Tenant’s Tax Charge shall be prorated on a per diem basis for such partial Tax Year. Tenant’s Tax Charge for each Tax Year shall be paid as follows:

(a) After receipt of a bill for Taxes, Landlord shall furnish Tenant a statement detailing the amount of the bill and the Base Year Taxes. Within thirty (30) days following the receipt of such statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount, if any, by which the Tenant’s Tax Charge for such Tax Year exceeds the total amount, if any, of payments made pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) below on account of the Tenant’s Tax Charge. Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall survive the expiration of the Term or termination of the Lease.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing subsection (a), if at any time after execution of this Lease, Landlord receives a bill for Taxes in excess of the Base Year Taxes, Landlord may notify Tenant that Landlord elects to receive payment in installments in advance as an estimate on account of Tenant’s Tax Charge or to increase installments presently being paid by Tenant if Tenant is required to make monthly payments pursuant to subsection (c) below. Landlord’s notice shall be in writing and shall specify the amount due, or estimated to become

 

- 9 -


due, and the amount of each installment or increased installment to be paid by Tenant. Payments in the amount of the installment (or increase in installment) set forth in Landlord’s notice shall be due monthly as additional rent concurrently with payments of minimum rent beginning with such first payment due after the date of Landlord’s notice, and shall continue on the first day of each month until and including the month in which Tenant makes payment in full of Tenant’s Tax Charge.

(c) After payment of the full amount of Tenant’s Tax Charge (less any payments made pursuant to subsection (b) above or this subsection (c) on account of the Tax Charge) for any Tax Year, Tenant shall continue to pay one-twelfth (1/12) of the Tax Charge monthly, together with payments of minimum rent as an estimate and on account of the Tax Charge for the following Tax Year, which payments shall continue until receipt by Tenant of a statement which revises the amount of Tax Charge or receipt of a notice from Landlord pursuant to subsection (b) above increasing the amount of monthly estimated payments.

(3) Within ninety (90) days after the close of each calendar year or as soon after such ninety (90) day period as practicable, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of the adjustments to be made pursuant to subsection 6.A. If on the basis of such statement Tenant owes sums less than the payments for such calendar year previously made by Tenant on account of Tenant’s Tax Charge or Tenant’s OMC, Landlord shall credit such excess to Tenant against the next ensuing installments of Rent. If on the basis of such statement Tenant owes sums more than the estimated payments for such calendar year previously made by Tenant, on account of Tenant’s Tax Charge or Tenant’s OMC, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within thirty (30) days after delivery of the statement. Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall survive the expiration of the Term or the termination of the Lease.

(4) In determining Tenant’s OMC payable pursuant to subsection 6.A for any calendar year during the Term:

(a) if less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Building rentable area shall have been occupied by tenants and fully used by them, at any time during the year, the OMC Sum shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the OMC Sum which would normally be expected to be incurred had such occupancy been ninety-five percent (95%) and had such full utilization been made during the entire period; and,

(b) if Landlord is not furnishing any particular work or service (and such work or service is by agreement to be furnished by a tenant and the cost of which if furnished by Landlord would constitute an item within the OMC Sum) then the OMC Sum shall be deemed to be increased by the sum for the items which would reasonably have been incurred during such period by Landlord if Landlord had at its own expense furnished such work or service to such tenant.

(5) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, in calculating the OMC Sum and/or Taxes, Landlord, in its sole discretion, may make allocations of certain items between the office building portion of the Building of which the Premises is a part and, if applicable, the retail portion, and hotel portion, which calculations need not be based on relative size or use.

7. IMPROVEMENT OF THE PREMISES.

A. Landlord’s Construction Obligations. Landlord hereby agrees to perform certain construction work in order to prepare the Premises for the initial occupancy by Tenant (“Landlord’s Work”). The nature and extent of such Landlord’s Work shall be set forth on construction drawings and specifications prepared at the direction of Tenant and in accordance with Exhibit “C” hereof (collectively, the “Final Plans”) to be approved by Landlord and attached to the Lease as Exhibit “C”, subsequent to the date hereof. It is acknowledged that the Final Plans will be based upon the preliminary “nickel” plan attached to this Lease as Exhibit “D” (“Nickel Plan”).

B. Costs of Plans/Landlord’s Work. Landlord agrees to pay the costs of completing the Landlord’s Work in accordance with the Final Plans and the cost of the preparation, modification and revision of all plans and specifications for the Premises including the Nickel Plan, Final Plans, electrical, mechanical, lighting and space design plans.

C. Access by Tenant. Landlord shall afford Tenant and its employee’s, agents and contractors access to the Premises prior to the Commencement Date, at reasonable times and at Tenant’s sole risk and expense, for purposes of inspecting and verifying the performance of Landlord’s Work. Tenant shall inspect the performance of Landlord’s Work regularly and diligently and shall advise Landlord promptly of any objection in the performance of such Work.

D. Alterations. Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions, decorations or other improvements to the Premises or install any fixtures or equipment thereto (collectively “Alterations”), without the Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. All Alterations to the Premises shall be performed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense by Landlord or, at Landlord’s option, by Tenant in accordance with drawings and specifications prepared at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, which drawings and specifications shall be consistent with the standards applicable thereto set forth in Exhibit “D” attached hereto. So long as Tenant is not in default hereunder, Tenant shall have the right with the consent of Landlord, not to be unreasonably withheld, but not the obligation, to remove any of said Alterations which constitute trade fixtures during and at the expiration of the Term and any extension thereof, provided that Tenant repairs any damage caused by said removal. All of the Alterations remaining on the Premises after the date on which the Term ends, or at such sooner termination date, shall become the property of Landlord. In doing any work of installation, removal, alteration or relocation, Tenant shall not harm the Premises or the Building and shall repair all damage or injury that may occur to the Premises or the Building in connection with such work and shall otherwise comply with Exhibit “D” attached hereto. Tenant agrees in doing any such work in or about the Premises to engage only such labor as will not conflict with or cause strikes or other labor disturbances among the Building service employees. Any contractors employed by Tenant for such work shall comply with the requirements of Exhibit “D” annexed hereto and hereby made a part hereof and shall further be approved by Landlord in writing before the commencement of such work, but Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its approval or consent. In all events all such contractors shall be required to employ only union labor in the performance of such work, carry worker’s compensation insurance, public liability insurance and property damage insurance in amounts, form and content and with companies satisfactory to Landlord. Prior to the commencement by Tenant of

 

- 11 -


any work as set forth in this subsection 7.D., Tenant must obtain, at its sole cost and expense, all necessary permits, authorizations, licenses and other approvals required by the various governmental authorities. Upon completion of any such work, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the cost of such work, to reimburse Landlord for the cost of coordination and final inspection of the work.

E. Liens. Prior to Tenant performing any construction or other work to, on or about the Premises for which a lien or claim could be filed against Landlord, the Premises, the Building or Landlord’s interest therein, Tenant shall have its contractor execute a Waiver of Liens satisfactory to Landlord and provide Landlord with the original of the same. Landlord shall file such Waiver of Liens and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of doing so. Tenant shall not start any work in the Premises until Landlord has advised Tenant that such Waiver of Liens has been filed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any mechanics’ or other lien or claim shall be filed against Landlord, the Premises, the Building or Landlord’s interest therein purporting to be for labor or material furnished or to be furnished at the request of Tenant, then Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense cause same to be discharged by payment, bond or otherwise within thirty (30) days after the filing thereof. If Tenant shall fail to cause same to be discharged of record within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord may cause same to be discharged by payment, bond or otherwise, without investigation as to the validity thereof or as to any counterclaims, offsets or defenses thereto. Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless against any and all claims, costs, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which may be brought or imposed against or incurred by Landlord by reason of any such lien or claim or the discharge thereof. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that all Alterations performed by Tenant in the Premises are for the benefit of Tenant only and not for the immediate use and benefit of Landlord and no consent by Landlord to such work shall be deemed a consent to subject the Building, the Premises or Landlord’s interest in either to liability for any mechanic’s lien relating to such Alterations.

F. Condition. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly set forth in this Lease, there have been no representations or warranties made by or on behalf of Landlord with respect to the Premises or the Building or with respect to the suitability of either for the conduct of Tenant’s business. The taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant shall conclusively establish that the Premises and the Building were at such time substantially completed and, except as set forth in Section 3.B. hereof, in satisfactory condition, order and repair.

G. Tenant Contractors. Any work permitted to be completed by, or at the direction of Tenant hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Exhibit “D” hereof.

8. BUILDING SERVICES. Landlord shall provide, within its standards for each item, the following services and facilities (“BUILDING SERVICES”):

A. HVAC. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (“HVAC”), Monday to Friday from 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. and Saturdays from 8:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M.

Tenant agrees to cooperate fully with Landlord and any governmental agency regulating such matters as maximum and minimum temperature or

 

- 12 -


energy conservation matters, and to abide by all the regulations and requirements which Landlord may reasonably prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of the HVAC systems. Such regulations and requirements include a prohibition against the use of the Premises or equipment or fixtures which would generate heat from loads in excess of four (4) watts per usable square foot of total connected loan without the prior consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld unless Tenant reimburses Landlord for all costs and expenses relating to the installation and supply of supplemental HVAC and electrical systems;

B. ELECTRICITY. Electric current for (1) Building standard level of illumination using standard fixtures of Landlord’s choice; and (2) normal small business machines connected to Building Standard 120-volt single phase outlets during the normal hours of operation set forth in subsection 8.A.; however, Landlord’s agreement to furnish electricity does not include electricity in excess of four (4) watts per usable square foot for any use, equipment or fixture requiring a greater voltage than specified in this subsection 8.B.(2).

Such additional electrical service will be furnished, if reasonably available, upon Tenant’s tendering all costs of installation, including wiring and separate metering, and agreeing in writing to pay the cost of electricity and such service as additional rent. Additionally, the cost of replacement light bulbs, tubes, lamps and ballasts, plus the labor cost for such replacement shall be paid by Tenant as additional rent (“LIGHTING EXPENSE”). It is acknowledged that the Lighting Expense shall not be included in the OMC Sum.

9. LIMITATION REGARDING SERVICES. Landlord does not warrant that the Building Services specified in Section 8 hereof shall be free from any slow-down, interruption or stoppage pursuant to voluntary agreement by and between Landlord and governmental bodies and regulatory agencies, or caused by the maintenance, repair, substitution, renewal, replacement or improvements or any of the equipment involved in the furnishing of any such Building Services, or caused by changes of services, alterations, strikes, lockouts, labor controversies, fuel shortages, accidents, acts of God or the elements or any other cause whatsoever. Specifically, no such slow-down shall be construed as an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant, nor shall same cause any abatement of rent payable hereunder or in any manner or for any purpose relieve Tenant from any of its obligations hereunder. In no event shall Landlord be liable for damage to persons or property or be in default hereunder as a result of such slow-down, interruption or stoppage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if: (a) any services or utilities provided by Landlord are interrupted or discontinued for reasons or causes directly within the Landlord’s control, and Tenant is unable to use and ceases to use the Premises as a result of such interruption or discontinuance, and (b) Tenant shall have given written notice respecting such interruption or discontinuance to Landlord, and Landlord shall have failed to cure such interruption or discontinuance within five (5) consecutive business days after receiving such notice, Rent hereunder shall thereafter be abated until such time as such services or utilities are restored.

10. CARE OF PREMISES.

A. LANDLORD MAINTENANCE. Landlord shall make, at its sole cost and expense (except to the extent included in the OMC Sum), all repairs necessary to maintain the plumbing, HVAC and electrical systems, windows, floors and all other Building Standard items which constitute a part of the Premises and are installed or furnished by Landlord. Landlord shall not be obligated for any of such repairs until the expiration of a reasonable period of time after written notice from Tenant that such repair is needed. In no event shall Landlord be obligated under this Section 10 to repair Tenant’s personal property or any damage caused by any act, omission, accident or negligence of the Tenant or its invitees or subtenants. Landlord shall not be liable by reason of any damage or injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from any repairs, alterations, additions, improvements or other work, in accordance with this Lease in or to the Premises or the Building or to any appurtenances or equipment therein. Landlord shall interfere as little as reasonably practicable with the conduct of Tenant’s business. There shall be no abatement of rent because of such repairs or alterations, additions, improvements or other work, except as provided in Section 13 hereof.

B. TENANT MAINTENANCE. Except for repairs which Landlord is obligated to make under subsection 10.A., Tenant shall perform all work, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, necessary to maintain the Premises and shall keep the Premises and the fixtures therein in good, clean, neat and orderly condition.

If the Tenant refuses or neglects to do such work, or fails to diligently prosecute the same to completion after written notice to Tenant of the need therefor, Landlord may do such work at the sole cost and expense of Tenant and such cost and expense shall be collectible as additional rent, together with a ten percent (10%) supervisory charge.

 

- 14 -


11. NEGATIVE COVENANTS OF TENANT. Tenant agrees that it will not do or suffer to be done any act, matter or thing objectionable to the fire and casualty insurance companies whereby the fire and casualty insurance and other insurance now in force or hereafter to be placed on the Premises or the Building (or any portions thereof) shall become void or suspended, or whereby the same shall be rated as a more hazardous risk than at the Commencement Date. In case of a breach of this covenant, in addition to all other remedies of Landlord hereunder, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as additional rent any and all increases in premiums on insurance carried by Landlord on the Premises or the Building (or any portions thereof) so caused by Tenant. Tenant shall not commit or allow to be committed any waste upon the Premises or any public or private nuisance or other act or thing which disturbs the quiet enjoyment of any other occupant of the Building. Tenant shall not without the prior written consent of Landlord install any equipment, machinery or fixtures which will overload the Building or any portion thereof or which will cause any substantial noise, vibration or fumes. If any of Tenant’s office machines and equipment should create noise, vibration, fumes or otherwise disturb the quiet enjoyment of any other occupant in the Building, Tenant shall provide adequate insulation or take such other action as may be necessary to eliminate the disturbance. Further, Tenant will not permit foreign substances to be thrown within any laboratories contained within the Premises; will not place trash or refuse or other articles in any halls or Common Areas; will not ship or receive articles outside of designated loading and receiving areas and/or times.

12. SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNING.

A. GENERAL RESTRICTION. Except as expressly permitted pursuant to this Section 12, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, assign or hypothecate this Lease or any interest herein or sublet the Premises or any part thereof. Any of the foregoing acts without such consent shall be void and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate this Lease. The Lease shall not, nor shall any interest herein, be assignable as to the interest of Tenant by operation of law without the written consent of Landlord.

B. CONSENT. If, at any time or from time to time during the Term and any extensions thereof, Tenant desires to sublet all or any part of the Premises, or assign this Lease, Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord thereof, which notice shall contain the name, address and description of the business of the proposed assignee or subtenant, its most recent financial statement and other evidence of financial responsibility, its intended use of the Premises, and the terms and conditions of the proposed assignment or subletting. Landlord shall have the option, exercisable by notice given to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice of reacquiring the portion of the Premises proposed to be sublet or assigned and terminating the Lease with respect thereto. If Landlord does not exercise such option, provided that Tenant is not in default, Tenant shall be free to sublet such space or assign this Lease to such proposed assignee or subtenant, subject to the following:

(1) the consent of Landlord, it being understood and agreed by the parties hereto that it will not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold consent if the reputation, financial responsibility, or business of a proposed assignee or subtenant is unsatisfactory to Landlord, or if Landlord deems such business to not be consistent with the other occupants in the Building, or if the intended use by the proposed assignee or subtenant conflicts with any commitment made by Landlord to any other occupant in the Building;

 

- 15 -


(2) if the space is not subleased or assigned within thirty (30) days from the expiration of Landlord’s option as set forth above, or any subsequent option as provided in this subsection 12.B.(2), Tenant shall, prior to entering into a sublease or an assignment of said space, once again give Landlord written notice and Landlord shall have thirty (30) days after the receipt thereof of reacquiring that portion of the Premises and terminating the Lease with respect thereto;

(3) no sublease or assignment shall be valid and no subtenant or assignee shall take possession of the space subleased or assigned until an executed counterpart of agreement of sublease or assignment has been delivered to and approved by Landlord;

(4) no subtenant or assignee shall have a right further to sublet or assign this Lease;

(5) any sums or other economic consideration received by Tenant as a result of such subletting or assignment whether denominated rentals under the sublease or otherwise, which exceed, in the aggregate, the total sums which Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease (pro-rated to reflect obligations allocable to that portion of the Premises subject to such sublease or assignment) shall be payable to Landlord as additional rent under this Lease without affecting or reducing any other obligation of Tenant hereunder;

(6) such assignee shall assume and be deemed to have assumed this Lease and shall be and remain liable jointly and severally with Tenant for all payments and for the due performance of all terms, covenants, conditions and provisions contained in this Lease and no such assignment shall be binding upon Landlord unless the assignee shall deliver to Landlord an agreement acceptable to Landlord containing a covenant of assumption by the assignee; and

(7) Tenant’s payment to Landlord, on demand, of Landlord’s reasonable costs, including attorney’s fees, in responding to any requests by Tenant for Landlord to consent.

C. FUTURE COMPLIANCE. Regardless of Landlord’s consent, no subletting or assignment shall release Tenant of Tenant’s obligation or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof. Consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. In the Event of Default by any assignee of Tenant or any successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such assignee or successor. Landlord may consent to subsequent assignment or subletting or may execute amendments or modifications to this Lease with assignees of Tenant without notifying Tenant or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto and such action shall not relieve Tenant of liability under this Lease, except as set forth above.

D. OTHER ASSIGNMENTS OR SUBLETTINGS.

(1) If Tenant is a corporation, any dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of such corporation or any transfer of a controlling percentage of the corporate stock of Tenant (whether in a single transaction or cumulatively)

 

- 16 -


shall constitute an assignment of this Lease for all purposes of this Section 12. This subsection 12.D.(1) shall not apply whenever Tenant is a corporation, the outstanding voting stock of which is listed or traded on a recognized securities exchange.

(2) If Tenant is a partnership and if, at any time, during the Term or any extension thereof the person or persons who, at the time of the execution of this Lease, own the partners’ interest cease to own the partners’ interest (except as a result of transfers by bequest or inheritance), such cessation of ownership shall constitute as assignment of this Lease for all purposes of this Section 12.

13. FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY.

A. GENERAL. Subject to the provisions of this subsection 13.A. and subsections 13.B. and 13.C, if the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty, the damaged areas shall be repaired by and at the expense of Landlord to at least as good a condition as that which existed immediately prior to such damage, (i.e. the Landlord’s Work) provided that Landlord receives adequate insurance proceeds including without limitation, the proceeds of the “LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENT INSURANCE” (as hereinafter defined). In no event shall the Landlord be obligated to repair or restore to a condition in excess of that required by Landlord’s Work. The rent until such repairs shall be made shall be apportioned from the date of such fire or other casualty according to the part of the Premises which is usable by Tenant. Landlord agrees to repair such damage within a reasonable period of time after receipt from Tenant of written notice of such damage. Landlord’s obligation to repair as aforesaid is subject to any delays caused by Acts of God, labor strikes or other events beyond Landlord’s control, including without limitation, the failure of any mortgagee to release insurance proceeds to Landlord sufficient to pay the costs of any such repairs and Landlord’s receipt of the proceeds of the Leasehold Improvement Insurance. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof. Tenant acknowledges notice that (1) Landlord shall not obtain insurance of any kind on Tenant’s furniture, furnishings, equipment or fixtures, alterations, improvements and additions, (2) it is Tenant’s obligation to obtain such insurance at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and (3) Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage thereto, replace the same or otherwise do any work thereto except as set forth in this subsection 13.A. with respect to those improvements insured with the Leasehold Improvement Insurance.

B. RECONSTRUCTION. If, in the sole opinion of Landlord, (1) the Premises are rendered substantially untenantable by reason of such fire or other casualty, or (2) twenty percent (20%) or more of the Premises is damaged by said fire or other casualty and less than six (6) months would remain of the Term or any extension thereof upon completion of the required repairs thereto, Landlord shall have the right, to be exercised by notice in writing delivered to Tenant within thirty (30) days from and after such occurrence, to elect not to repair the Premises and, in such event, this Lease, the Term and the tenancy hereby created shall cease as of the date of such occurrence, the rent to be adjusted as of such date.

C. SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE. If the Building, in the sole opinion of the Landlord, shall be substantially damaged by fire or other casualty (regardless of whether or not the Premises were damaged by such occurrence), Landlord shall have the right, to be exercised by

 

- 17 -


notice in writing delivered to Tenant within sixty (60) days from and after such occurrence, to terminate this Lease and, in such event, this Lease, the Term and the tenancy hereby created shall cease as of the date of such termination unless terminated as of the date of such occurrence in accordance with subsection 13.B hereof, the rent to be adjusted as of the date of such termination.

D. CONTRIBUTION. Anything in this Section 13 to the contrary notwithstanding, if the damage resulted from or was contributed directly or indirectly by the fault, neglect or other conduct of Tenant or its subtenants or invitees, there shall be no abatement of rent except and to the extent Landlord received proceeds from Landlord’s rental income insurance policy, if any, to compensate Landlord for loss of rent.

14. LIABILITY.

A. DAMAGE IN GENERAL. Landlord, Agent and their respective agents, servants, and employees shall not be liable for, and Tenant hereby releases and relieves Landlord, Agent and their respective agents, servants, and employees from, all liability in connection with any and all loss of life, personal and bodily injury, damage to or loss of property, consequential damages loss or interruption of business occurring to Tenant, subtenants, invitees or any other person in or about or arising out of the Premises from, without limitation, (1) any fire, other casualty, accident, occurrence or condition in or upon the Premises or the Building; (2) any defect in or failure of: (a) plumbing, sprinkler, electrical, HVAC systems, or any other equipment or systems of the Premises or the Building, and (b) the vertical transportation, stairways, railings or walkways of the Building; (3) any steam, fuel, oil, water, rain or snow that may leak into, issue or flow from any part of the Premises or the Building from the drains, pipes or plumbing, sewer or other installation of same, or from any other place or quarter; (4) the breaking or disrepair of any installations, equipment and other systems; (5) the falling of any fixture or well or ceiling materials; (6) broken glass; (7) latent or patent defects; (8) the exercise of any rights by Landlord or Agent under the terms and conditions of this Lease; (9) any acts or omissions of the other tenants or occupants of the Building or of nearby buildings; (10) any acts or omissions of other persons; (11) theft, Act of God, public enemy, injunction, riot, strike, insurrection, war, court order, or any order of any governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Premises.

(1) any work or act done in, on or about the Building outside of the Premises at the direction of Landlord, its agents, contractors, subcontractors, servants, employees or licensees, unless such work or act is done or performed by Tenant or its agents, contractors, subcontractors, servants, employees, licensees or invitees;

(2) any negligence or other wrongful act or omission on the part of Landlord or any of its agents, contractors, subcontractors, servants, employees, subtenants or licensees;

15. INSURANCE.

A. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS. During the Term and any extension thereof, Tenant shall obtain and maintain and promptly pay all premiums for the following types of insurance in the amounts specified and in the form heretofore provided for:

(1) Public Liability and Property Damage. General Public Liability Insurance covering the Premises and Tenant’s use thereof against claims for bodily or personal injury or death, and property damage occurring upon, in or about the Premises, such insurance to afford protection to the limit of not less than $3,000,000.00 combined single limit in respect of injury or death to any number of persons arising out of any one occurrence. The insurance coverage required under this Section shall, in addition, extend to any liability of Tenant arising out of the indemnities provided for in Section 14. The general aggregate limits under the General Public Liability Insurance policy or policies must apply separately to the Premises and to tenant’s use thereof. Accordingly, if Tenant obtains General Public Liability Insurance hereunder in the Commercial General Liability form of policies, or its equivalent as determined by Landlord, Tenant shall also obtain Insurance Services Office (“ISO”) Endorsement CG-25-04-11-85, Amendment-Aggregate Limit of Insurance (Per Location) or its equivalent as determined by Landlord (the “ENDORSEMENT”). The certificate of insurance evidencing the Commercial General Liability form of policies and the Endorsement shall specify on the face thereof that the limits of such policies apply separately to the Premises.

(2) Tenant Leasehold Improvements and Property. Insurance covering: (a) all leasehold improvements in the Premises (such insurance is hereinafter referred to as the “LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENT Insurance”); (b) all Tenant’s leasehold improvements performed by, or at the direction of Tenant including heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment and other alterations and additions made by Tenant pursuant to this Lease; and (c) trade fixtures, merchandise and personal property from time to time in, on or upon the Premises. All such insurance coverage shall be in amounts not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost from time to time during the Term, providing protection against perils included within the standard state form of fire and extended coverage insurance policy, together with insurance against sprinkler damage, vandalism and malicious mischief. The policy required by subsection (a) above shall name Landlord as loss Payee. All other policy proceeds from insurance coverage carried by Tenant pursuant to (b) and (c) above shall be held in trust by Tenant’s insurance company for the repair, reconstruction and restoration or replacement of the property damaged or destroyed unless this Lease shall cease and terminate under the provisions of Article 13.

(3) Workers’ Compensation and Employer’s Liability. Workers’ Compensation and Employer’s Liability insurance affording statutory coverage and containing statutory limits with the Employer’s Liability portion thereof to have minimum limits of $1,000,000.00.

B. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS.

All policies of insurance provided for in this Section 15 shall be issued in form acceptable to Landlord by insurance companies with a financial size of not less than A+ as rated in the most current available “BEST’S INSURANCE REPORTS,” and qualified to do business in the state in which Landlord’s Building is located. Each and every such policy:

(1) Except for Worker’s Compensation, Employer’s Liability insurance, and casualty insurance covering Tenant’s personal property, furniture and equipment shall be issued in the name of Tenant with Landlord and Agent and Landlord’s mortgagee, if requested, as additional insureds and any other parties in interest from time to time designated in writing by notice from Landlord to Tenant;

 

- 20 -


(2) Except for Worker’s Compensation, Employer’s Liability insurance, and casualty insurance covering Tenant’s personal property, furniture and equipment shall be for the mutual and joint benefit and protection of Landlord and Tenant and any such other parties in interest;

(3) shall (or a certificate thereof shall) be delivered to each of Landlord and any such other parties in interest within ten (l0) days after delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant and thereafter within thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of each such policy, and, as often as any such policy shall expire or terminate. Renewal or additional policies shall be procured and maintained by Tenant in like manner and to like extent;

(4) shall contain a provision that the insurer will give to Landlord and such other parties in interest at least thirty (30) days notice in writing in advance of any material change, cancellation, termination or lapse, or the effective date of any reduction in the amounts of insurance; and

(5) shall be written as a primary policy which does not contribute to and is not in excess of coverage which Landlord may carry.

C. BLANKET INSURANCE. Any insurance provided for in this Section may be maintained by means of a policy or policies of blanket insurance, covering additional items or locations or insureds, provided, however, that:

(1) Except for Worker’s Compensation, Employer’s Liability insurance, and casualty insurance covering Tenant’s personal property, furniture and equipment, Landlord and any other parties in interest from time to time designated by Landlord to Tenant shall be named as an additional insured thereunder as its interest may appear;

(2) the coverage afforded Landlord and any such other parties in interest will not be reduced or diminished by reason of the use of such blanket policy of insurance;

(3) any such policy or policies except any covering the risks referred to in subsection 15.A.(1) shall specify therein (or Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a written statement from the insurers under such policy specifying) the amount of the total insurance allocated to the Tenant’s improvements and property more specifically detailed in subsection 15.A.(2); and

(4) the requirements set forth in this Section are otherwise satisfied.

D. INSPECTION OF POLICIES. Tenant agrees to permit Landlord at all reasonable times to inspect the policies of insurance of Tenant with respect to the Premises for which policies or copies thereof are not delivered to Landlord.

E. LANDLORD INSURANCE. During the term of this Lease, Landlord covenants that it will maintain comprehensive general liability insurance with broad form extended

 

- 21 -


coverage with a minimum coverage of combined single limit of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000). In addition, Landlord shall maintain and keep in effect throughout the term of this Lease insurance against loss or damage to the Building by fire or such other casualties as may be included within all-risk insurance, such insurance to be in an amount equal to the full replacement value of the Building. Upon Tenant’s written request, Landlord shall provide Tenant with current certificates evidencing these policies.

F. WAIVER. Each party hereby waives any and all rights of recovery against the other party hereto and its officers, agents, employees, or representatives, and Tenant hereby waives any rights it may have against any mortgagee, for the loss, damage, or injury to property arising from any event which is covered by insurance against fire, vandalism, malicious mischief, and extended coverage, and such other perils as are from time to time included in the “all risk” insurance policy(ies) carried by Landlord and Tenant pursuant to this Section 15 provided that such waiver shall apply only to the extent of any recovery by the injured party under such insurance. In the event the other party is a self-insurer (as may be permitted herein), such waiver shall be to the limit of that insurance required to be carried hereunder. Each party hereto, on behalf of its respective insurance companies hereby waives, to the extent of any recovery under any such insurance policies, any right of subrogation that one may have against the other, and Tenant on behalf of its insurance companies, hereby waives any right of subrogation which such insurer may have against any mortgagee. Each party hereto shall cause its respective insurance policies to contain endorsements evidencing such waivers of subrogation. The foregoing releases and waivers of subrogation shall be operative only so long as same shall neither preclude the obtaining of insurance nor diminish, reduce or impair the liability of any insurer. In the event that a waiver of subrogation cannot be obtained, the other party is relieved of the obligation to obtain a waiver of subrogation rights with respect to the particular insurance involved.

16. EMINENT DOMAIN.

A. TOTAL OR PARTIAL TAKING. If the whole of the Premises shall be condemned or taken either permanently or temporarily for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, under any statute or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof, then, in such event, the Term shall cease and terminate from the date when possession is taken thereunder pursuant to such proceeding or purchase. The rent shall be adjusted as of the time of such termination and any rent paid for the period thereafter shall be refunded. If a portion only of the Premises or a portion of the Building containing same shall so be taken (even though the Premises may not have been affected by the taking of some other portion of the Building containing same), Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease from the date when possession is taken thereunder pursuant to such proceeding or purchase or Landlord may elect to repair and restore, at its own expense, the portion not taken and thereafter the rent shall be reduced proportionate to the portion of the Premises taken.

B. AWARD. In the event of any total or partial taking of the Premises or the Building, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award in any such proceeding and Tenant hereby assigns any and all right, title and interest or Tenant now or hereafter arising in or to any such award or any part thereof and hereby waives all rights against Landlord and the condemning authority, except that Tenant shall have the right to claim and prove and to receive

 

- 22 -


any award which may be made to Tenant, if any, specifically for damages for loss of good will, movable trade fixtures, equipment and moving expenses, provided that such award in no way diminishes or adversely affects Landlord’s award.

17. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.

A. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a material breach of the Lease and default by Tenant under the Lease (herein called an “EVENT OF DEFAULT”):

(1) failure of Tenant to take possession of the Premises within fifteen (15) days after written notice to Tenant that the same are substantially completed or ready for occupancy;

(2) the vacation, desertion or other abandonment of the Premises by Tenant; or Tenant’s removal or manifestation of an intention to remove its property from the Premises;

(3) a failure by Tenant to pay, when due, any installment of rent hereunder or any such other sum herein required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord and the continuation of such failure for five (5) days after written notice thereof to Tenant; provided that Landlord shall not be obligated to give such notice more than twice in any twelve (12) month period;

(4) a failure by Tenant to observe and perform any other provision or covenant of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, where such failure continues for twenty (20) days after written notice thereof to Tenant provided, however, that if the nature of the failure is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within such period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall immediately after such written notice commence to cure the same, shall continuously and diligently prosecute such curing thereafter to completion; and

(5) the filing of a petition by or against Tenant for adjudication as a bankrupt or insolvent or for its reorganization or for the appointment pursuant to any local, state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency law of a receiver or trustee of Tenant’s property; or, an assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors; or, the taking possession of the property of Tenant by any local, state or federal governmental officer or agency or court-appointed official for the dissolution or liquidation of Tenant or for the operating, either temporary or permanent, of Tenant’s business, provided, however, that if any such action is commenced against Tenant the same shall not constitute a default if Tenant causes the same to be dismissed or discharged within sixty (60) days after the filing of same.

(6) the maintenance by Tenant of any waste, waste products, radioactive waste, polychlorinated byphenyls, asbestos, toxic or hazardous material or any other substance of any kind which is regulated by any law, statute, ordinance, rule, or regulation (collectively “WASTE”) in the Premises.

(7) the failure to comply with the provisions of Article 12 of the Lease.

 

- 23 -


B. REMEDIES OF LANDLORD.

(1) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default Landlord, at its option and without notice or other act, may exercise any and all rights and remedies at law and/or in equity and/or under the Lease including, without limitation, all or any one or more of the following:

(a) Landlord may cure for the account of Tenant any such default of Tenant and immediately recover, as additional rent from Tenant any expenditures made and the amount of any obligations incurred in connection therewith, plus interest equal to four (4) point(s) above the prime rate of PNC Bank, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (as the same may exist from time to time) (“PRIME RATE”) from the date of any such expenditure.

(b) Landlord may, without notice or other act, accelerate the whole or any part of the Minimum Rent and additional rent for the entire unexpired balance of the Term, as well as all other charges, payments, costs and expenses herein agreed to be paid by Tenant (collectively the “ACCELERATED RENT”). Any Accelerated Rent shall be due and payable on the date Landlord demands payment thereof as if by the terms of the Lease the same were due and payable on that date. To determine the amounts of the additional rent component of the Accelerated Rent, Landlord may fix those amounts based upon the highest monthly amounts thereof in or after the calendar year during which the Event of Default occurred.

(c) Landlord may terminate the Lease by written notice to Tenant stating that the Lease is terminated. If such notice is given to Tenant, the Lease, the then unexpired Term and all of Tenant’s estate, rights, title and interest in and to the Premises and the Lease shall cease and expire on the date specified in such notice, to be no less than five (5) days after the date of such notice, without any right on the part of the Tenant thereafter to nullify such termination by payment of any sum due or by the performance of any term, provision, covenant, agreement or condition broken except that Tenant shall be and remain liable to Landlord under the Lease through the date on which the Term would otherwise have expired. If Landlord terminates this Lease, Tenant shall immediately quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises and remove itself and all other occupants thereof and, at Landlord’s option, any property thereon without Landlord being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor. No termination of the Lease shall relieve Tenant of Tenant’s liability to Landlord or Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, whether or not the Premises shall be relet, all of which shall survive such termination.

(d) Landlord may, at any time after the occurrence of any Event of Default, whether or not the Lease has been terminated, re-enter and repossess the Premises and any part thereof with or without process of law, provided no undue force shall be used, and shall have the option without the need of any notice or other act (but not the obligation) in its own name or as agent for Tenant if the Lease has not been terminated or in its own behalf if the Lease has been terminated, to relet all or any part of the Premises; provided that Landlord shall not be required to accept any tenant proposed by Tenant or observe any instruction given by Tenant about such reletting. The failure of Landlord to relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof shall not release Tenant or affect Tenant’s liability hereunder, nor shall Landlord be liable for failure to relet, or in the event of reletting, for failure to collect the rent thereof. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of net rents collected over sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder. No such re-entry or taking possession of the Premises shall be construed as an election on the Landlord’s part to terminate the Lease unless a written notice of such election by Landlord is given to Tenant. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination,

 

- 24 -


Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate the Lease for any previous Event of Default. For the purpose such reletting, Landlord may decorate or make repairs, changes, improvements, alterations or additions (collectively the “RELETTING WORK”) in or to the Premises to the extent deemed by Landlord desirable or convenient, and the cost of the Reletting Work shall be charged to and payable by Tenant as additional rent hereunder, as well as any brokerage and legal fees expended by Landlord. If Landlord relets, all rents collected by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied first to the payment of any Tenant indebtedness not set forth in the immediately ensuing provisions of this sentence, second to the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting including, without limitation, brokerage fees, attorneys’ fees and costs and costs of the Reletting Work, third to unpaid rent other than Accelerated Rent, fourth to unpaid Accelerated Rent, if any, or if none, then to future Minimum Rent, additional and other rent as the same becomes due and payable hereunder. If the rents collected by Landlord from such reletting during a month are less than that to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly on the days when the rent would have been payable under the Lease.

(e) Landlord may commence one or more actions to recover all unpaid rent including, without limitation, the Accelerated Rent and/or recover possession of the Premises.

(f) All inventory, equipment, machinery, trade fixtures, contents and other personal property of any kind no nature whatsoever at any time or from time to time within the Premises, whether owned by Tenant or others (collectively the “SUBJECT PROPERTY”) is and throughout the Term as well as thereafter shall be subject to the lien of Landlord and distraint for any and all rent not paid when due, and Tenant hereby grants to Landlord such lien on the Subject Property and the right and remedy of distraint thereof together with the right and remedy of “SELF-HELP” (hereinafter defined). Such lien of Landlord shall be conclusively presumed to have been perfected and distraint of the Subject Property to have occurred by and on the date of a written notice of distraint given to Tenant or a written notice given to Tenant of the occurrence of an Event of Default (whichever written notice is first given). The term “SELF-HELP” means and shall be any action or other conduct by Landlord, any agent of or anyone else acting for Landlord, by which Tenant is deprived of possession or control over the Subject Property and includes, without limitation, the changing of locks of the Premises, denying Tenant entry to the Premises, terminating or otherwise ceasing Building Services to the Premises (including, without limitation, electricity, gas and/or water), entering the Premises, removing any, some or all of the Subject Property therefrom and/or storing the same, all at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, proceeding with or without writ or process, assistance or involvement of constables or other officers and selling at private or other sale, by auction or otherwise, the Subject Property. Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers Landlord and any agent of and/or anyone else acting for Landlord to exercise the right and remedy of Self-Help, Tenant agreeing that the exercise thereof is absolutely privileged and shall not constitute a breach or default of the Lease by Landlord or grounds for damages or other relief in favor of Tenant or any one directly or indirectly claiming by, through or under Tenant and Tenant shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, all agents of and anyone else acting for Landlord, therefrom.

 

- 25 -


(2) Landlord shall have the right of injunction (including, without limitation, specific performance) in the event of an Event of Default or threat thereof, or other default or breach or threat thereof by Tenant of any of the agreements, conditions, covenants or terms hereof to restrain the same and the right to invoke any remedy allowed by law or in equity, whether or not other remedies, indemnity or reimbursements are herein provided. The rights and remedies given to Landlord in the Lease or at law or in equity are distinct, separate and cumulative remedies, and no one of them, whether or not exercised by Landlord, shall be deemed to be the exclusion of any other.

(3) Tenant expressly waives the benefits of all laws, now or hereafter in force, exempting any of Tenant’s property on the Premises or elsewhere from distraint, levy or sale in any proceedings taken by Landlord to enforce any rights under the Lease. Tenant further waives the right of inquisition on any real estate that may be levied upon to collect any amount which may become due under the terms and conditions of the Lease, and does hereby voluntarily condemn the same and authorize the Prothonotary to enter a writ of execution or other process upon Tenant’s voluntary condemnation, and further agrees that said real estate may be sold on a writ of execution or other process. Tenant specifically waives the right to the three (3) months notice and/or the fifteen (15) or thirty (30) days notice required under certain circumstances by the Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951, as amended, and agrees that the notice or notices period or periods set forth in the Lease shall be sufficient in either or any such case. The right to confess or otherwise enter judgment against Tenant and to enforce all of the other provisions of the Lease herein provided for may be exercised by any assignee of Landlord’s right, title and interest in the Lease, in such assignee’s own name, notwithstanding the fact that any or all assignments of said right, title and interest may not be executed and/or witnessed in accordance with any Act of Assembly and any and all laws regulating the manner and/or form in which such assignments shall be executed and witnessed.

(4) CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT - RENT. TENANT COVENANTS AND AGREES THAT IF THERE IS AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, THEN LANDLORD MAY, WITHOUT LIMITATION AND WITHOUT NOTICE OR OTHER ACT, CAUSE JUDGMENTS FOR MONEY TO BE ENTERED AGAINST TENANT AND, FOR THOSE PURPOSES, TENANT HEREBY GRANTS THE FOLLOWING WARRANT OF ATTORNEY: (I) TENANT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AUTHORIZES AND EMPOWERS ANY ATTORNEY OF ANY COURT OF RECORD AND/OR LANDLORD (AS WELL AS SOMEONE ACTING FOR LANDLORD), IN ANY AND ALL ACTIONS COMMENCED AGAINST TENANT FOR RECOVERY OF THE RENT AND/OR OTHER AMOUNTS TO BE PAID TO LANDLORD BY TENANT, TO APPEAR FOR TENANT AND TO CONFESS OR OTHERWISE ENTER JUDGMENT AGAINST TENANT AND ASSESS DAMAGES AGAINST TENANT FOR ALL OR ANY PART OF THE RENT AND/OR OTHER AMOUNTS TO BE PAID TO LANDLORD BY TENANT INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ACCELERATED RENT, TOGETHER WITH INTEREST, COSTS AND AN ATTORNEYS’ COMMISSION OF FIVE PERCENT (5%) OF THE FULL AMOUNT OF SUCH RENT, AMOUNTS AND SUMS, AND THEREUPON WRITS OF EXECUTION FOR LEVY AND ATTACHMENT MAY FORTHWITH ISSUE AND BE SERVED, WITHOUT ANY PRIOR NOTICE, WRIT OR PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER; AND (II) THE WARRANT OF ATTORNEY HEREIN GRANTED SHALL NOT BE EXHAUSTED BY ONE OR MORE EXERCISES THEREOF BUT SUCCESSIVE ACTIONS MAY BE COMMENCED

 

- 26 -


AND SUCCESSIVE JUDGMENTS MAY BE CONFESSED OR OTHERWISE ENTERED AGAINST AND DAMAGES ASSESSED AGAINST TENANT FROM TIME TO TIME AS OFTEN AS ANY OF THE RENT AND/OR OTHER AMOUNTS AND SUMS SHALL FALL OR BE DUE OR BE IN ARREARS, AND THIS WARRANT OF ATTORNEY MAY BE EXERCISED BEFORE AND/OR AFTER THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF THE TERM AND/OR DURING OR AFTER ANY EXTENSIONS OF THE TERM OR RENEWALS OF THE LEASE.

(5) CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT - POSSESSION. TENANT COVENANTS AND AGREES THAT IF THERE IS AN EVENT OF DEFAULT OR THE LEASE IS TERMINATED OR THE TERM OR ANY EXTENSIONS OR RENEWALS THEREOF IS EXPIRES, THEN AND IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES SET FORTH IN SECTION 17.B(4), LANDLORD MAY, WITHOUT LIMITATION AND WITHOUT NOTICE OR OTHER ACT, CAUSE JUDGMENTS IN EJECTMENT FOR POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES TO ENTERED AGAINST TENANT AND, FOR THOSE PURPOSES, TENANT HEREBY GRANTS THE FOLLOWING WARRANT OF ATTORNEY: (I) TENANT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AUTHORIZES AND EMPOWERS ANY ATTORNEY OF ANY COURT OF RECORD AND/OR LANDLORD (AS WELL AS SOME ONE ACTING FOR LANDLORD) IN ANY AND ALL ACTIONS COMMENCED FOR RECOVERY OF POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES TO APPEAR FOR TENANT AND CONFESS OR OTHERWISE ENTER JUDGMENT IN EJECTMENT FOR POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES AGAINST TENANT WHICH JUDGMENT SHALL BE ENFORCEABLE AGAINST TENANT AND ALL PERSONS CLAIMING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BY, THROUGH OR UNDER TENANT, AND THEREUPON A WRIT OF POSSESSION MAY FORTHWITH ISSUE AND BE SERVED, WITHOUT ANY PRIOR NOTICE, WRIT OR PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER; AND (II) IF, FOR ANY REASON AFTER THE FOREGOING ACTION OR ACTIONS SHALL HAVE BEEN COMMENCED, IT SHALL BE DETERMINED THAT POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES SHOULD REMAIN IN OR BE RESTORED TO TENANT, LANDLORD SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO COMMENCE ONE OR MORE FURTHER ACTIONS AS HEREINBEFORE SET FORTH TO RECOVER POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, APPEARING FOR TENANT AND CONFESSING OR OTHERWISE ENTERING JUDGMENT IN EJECTMENT AGAINST TENANT FOR POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES AS HEREINBEFORE SET FORTH.

(6) IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING DESCRIBED IN SUBSECTION 17.B(4) AND/OR SUBSECTION 17.B(5) OR IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, IF A COPY OF THE LEASE IS THEREIN VERIFIED BY LANDLORD OR SOMEONE ACTING FOR LANDLORD TO BE A TRUE AND CORRECT COPY OF THE LEASE (AND SUCH COPY SHALL BE CONCLUSIVELY PRESUMED TO BE TRUE AND CORRECT BY VIRTUE OF SUCH VERIFICATION), THEN IT SHALL NOT BE NECESSARY TO FILE THE ORIGINAL OF THE LEASE, ANY STATUTE, RULE OF COURT OF LAW, CUSTOM OR PRACTICE TO THE CONTRARY NOTWITHSTANDING. TENANT HEREBY RELEASES TO LANDLORD, ANYONE ACTING FOR LANDLORD AND ALL ATTORNEYS WHO MAY APPEAR FOR TENANT ALL ERRORS IN PROCEDURE REGARDING THE ENTRY OF JUDGMENT OR JUDGMENTS BY CONFESSION OR OTHERWISE BY VIRTUE OF THE WARRANTS OF ATTORNEY CONTAINED IN THE LEASE, AND ALL LIABILITY

 

- 27 -


THEREFOR. THE RIGHT TO ENTER JUDGMENT OR JUDGMENTS BY CONFESSION OR OTHERWISE BY VIRTUE OF THE WARRANTS OF ATTORNEY CONTAINED IN THE LEASE AND TO ENFORCE ALL OF THE OTHER PROVISIONS OF THE LEASE MAY BE EXERCISED BY ANY ASSIGNEE OF LANDLORD’S RIGHT, TITLE AND INTEREST IN THE LEASE IN SUCH ASSIGNEE’S OWN NAME, ANY STATUTE, RULE OF COURT OR LAW, CUSTOM OR PRACTICE TO THE CONTRARY NOTWITHSTANDING.

(7) Tenant, for itself and on behalf of any and all persons claiming through or under it (including creditors of all kinds), does hereby waive and surrender all right and privilege which they or any of them might have under or by reason of any present or future law, to redeem the premises or to have a continuance of this Lease for the Term, as it may have been extended, after having been dispossessed or ejected therefrom by process of law or under the terms of this Lease or after the termination of this Lease as herein provided.

(8) Neither this Lease nor any rights or privileges hereunder shall be an asset of Tenant in any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization proceeding. If Landlord shall not be permitted to terminate this Lease because of the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, Tenant or any trustee for it shall, within fifteen (15) days upon request by Landlord to the Bankruptcy Court, assume or reject this Lease unless all defaults hereunder shall have been cured, Landlord shall have been compensated for any monetary loss resulting from such default and Landlord shall be provided with reasonably adequate assurance of full and timely performance of all provisions, terms and conditions of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed.

(9) The failure or delay on the part of either party to enforce or exercise at any time any of the provisions, rights or remedies in the Lease shall in no way be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Lease or any act hereof, or the right of the party to thereafter enforce each and every such provisions, right or remedy. No waiver or any breach or default of this Lease shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or default. The receipt by Landlord of rent at a time when the rent is in default under this Lease shall not be construed as a waiver of such default. The receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the rent due shall not be construed to be other than a payment on account of the rent then due, nor shall any statement on Tenant’s check or any letter accompanying Tenant’s check be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of the rent due or to pursue any other remedies provided in this Lease. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord’s agents or employees during the Term and any extension thereof shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such a surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord.

18. SUBORDINATION.

A. GENERALLY. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any mortgagees and/or ground rents and/or other encumbrances now or hereafter placed on the Premises or the Building without the necessity of any further instrument or act on the part of the Tenant to effectuate such subordination, but the Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and

 

- 28 -


deliver upon demand such further instrument or instruments evidencing such subordination of this Lease to the lien of any such mortgage or mortgages and/or ground rent and/or other encumbrances as shall be desired by any mortgagee or proposed mortgagee or by any person. Tenant hereby appoints the Landlord attorney-in-fact of Tenant irrevocably to execute and deliver any such instrument for and in the name of Tenant.

B. RIGHTS OF MORTGAGEE. In the event of any act or omission of Landlord which would give Tenant the right, immediately or after lapse of a period of time, to cancel or otherwise terminate this Lease, or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant shall not exercise such right:

(1) Until it has given written notice of such act or omission to the holder of each such mortgage or ground Lease whose name and address shall previously have been furnished to Tenant in writing; and

(2) Until a reasonable period for remedying such act or omission shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice (which reasonable period shall in no event be less than the period to which Landlord would be entitled under this Lease or otherwise, after similar notice, to effect such remedy).

C. TENANT’S ATTORNMENT. In the event of any foreclosure of, or the exercise of a power of sale under, any mortgage or deed of trust referred to in this Section or in the event of the termination of any ground lease pursuant to which Landlord is the lessee, Tenant, upon the purchaser or lessor’s request, shall attorn to and recognize the purchaser or Landlord’s lessor as Landlord under this Lease. Tenant agrees that, upon the request of Landlord or any lessor, mortgagee or trustee, Tenant shall execute and deliver any instruments which may be required for the purposes of carrying out the intention of this Section 18.

19. SURRENDER AND HOLDING OVER.

A. SURRENDER. The Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall deliver up and surrender possession of the premises on the last day of the Term hereof, and Tenant waives the right to any notice of termination or notice to quit. Tenant covenants that upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver up and surrender possession of the Premises in the same condition in which Tenant has agreed to keep the same during the continuance of the Lease and in accordance with the terms hereof, normal wear and tear and, subject to Section 13 hereof, damage by casualty excepted.

B. HOLD OVER. Upon the failure of the Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant’s continued occupancy may be treated by Landlord as a month-to-month tenancy and during such occupancy, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, an amount equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the rent required to be paid under this Lease as applied to any period in which Tenant shall remain in possession after expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. If Landlord requires Tenant to timely vacate the Premises and Tenant fails to do so within thirty (30) days, in addition to being responsible for the rent set forth above, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to all damages, consequential as well as direct, sustained by reason of Tenant’s retention of possession.

 

- 29 -


20. DELAY IN POSSESSION. In the event that the Premises are not ready for Tenant’s occupancy at the time herein fixed for the beginning of the Term because of any alterations or construction now or hereafter being performed either to the Premises or to the Building of which the Premises form a part (unless such alterations are being done by Tenant or Tenant’s contractor, or unless the delay in completing such alterations was caused by Tenant in which case there shall be no suspension or proration of rent or other sums), or because of the non-completion of the Building of which the Premises form a part, or because Landlord being itself a tenant of the same Premises has not received possession thereof from its landlord for any reason whatsoever, or because of the failure or refusal of the occupant of the Premises who is or may be in possession immediately before the beginning of the Term hereof to vacate and surrender up the same, or because of any restrictions, limitations or delays caused by government regulations or governmental agencies, this Lease and the Term hereof shall not be affected thereby, nor shall Tenant be entitled to make any claim for or receive any damages whatsoever from Landlord, and the Term hereof shall nevertheless end on the date herein originally fixed, but no rent herein provided to be paid by Tenant shall become due until the Premises are substantially completed, and until that time the rent shall be suspended and pro-rated.

21. CERTAIN RIGHTS RESERVED TO LANDLORD. Landlord reserves the following rights:

A. BUILDING NAME. To name the Building and to change the names or street addresses of the Building.

B. EXTERIOR SIGNS. To install and maintain a sign or signs on the exterior of the Building.

C. REDECORATION. During the last six (6) months of the Term, if during or prior to that time Tenant has vacated or otherwise abandons the Premises, to decorate, remodel, repair, alter or otherwise prepare the Premises for reoccupancy, without affecting Tenant’s obligation to pay rent for the Premises.

(b) Landlord, at its option, may serve notice upon Tenant that this Lease and the then unexpired Term hereof shall cease and expire and become absolutely void on the date specified in such notice, to be no less than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice, without any right on the part of the Tenant thereafter to save the forfeiture by payment of any sum due or by the performance of any term, provision, covenant, agreement or condition broken; and, thereupon and at the expiration of the time limit in such notice, this Lease and the Term hereof granted, as well as the right, title and interest of the Tenant hereunder, shall wholly cease and expire and become void in the same manner and with the same force and effect as if the date fixed in such notice were the date herein stated for expiration of the Term. Thereupon, Tenant shall immediately quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises by summary proceedings, detainer, ejectment or otherwise and remove itself

 

- 55 -


  

and all other occupants thereof and, at Landlord’s option, any property thereon without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor. No such expiration or termination of this Lease shall relieve Tenant of liability for damages arising because of Tenant’s breach of this Lease;

The failure of Landlord to relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof shall not release or affect Tenant’s liability hereunder, nor shall Landlord be liable for failure to relet, or in the event of reletting, or for failure to collect the rent thereof. No such re-entry or taking possession of the Premises shall be construed as an election on Landlord’s part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such election by Landlord is given to Tenant. For the purpose of such reletting, Landlord may decorate or make repairs, changes, alterations or additions in or to the Premises to the extent deemed by Landlord desirable or convenient. Any reasonable brokerage and legal fees expended by Landlord shall be charged to and be payable by Tenant as additional rent hereunder. Any sums collected by Landlord from any new tenant obtained on account of the Tenant shall be credited against the balance of the rent due hereunder as aforesaid. Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly, on the days when the rent would have been payable under this Lease, the amount due hereunder less the amount obtained by Landlord from such new tenant.

 

(2) Landlord shall have the right of injunction, in the event of a breach or default or threat thereof by Tenant of any of the agreements, conditions, covenants or terms hereof, to restrain the same and the right to invoke any remedy allowed by law or in equity, whether or not other remedies, indemnity or reimbursements are herein provided. The rights and remedies given to Landlord in this Lease are distinct, separate and cumulative remedies; and no one of them, whether or not exercised by Landlord, shall be deemed to be in exclusion of any other.

 

(3) If proceedings shall be commenced by Landlord to recover possession under the Acts of Assembly,

 

- 56 -


  

either at the end of the Term or any extension thereof or on sooner termination thereof, or for non-payment of rent or any other reason, Tenant specifically waives the right to the three (3) months notice and/or the fifteen (15) or thirty (30) days notice required by the Act of April 5, 1957, No. 20, and agrees that thirty (30) days notice shall be sufficient in either or any such case. The right to enforce all of the provisions of this Lease herein above provided for may be exercised by any assignee of Landlord’s right, title and interest in this Lease, in such assignee’s own name, notwithstanding the fact that any or all assignments of said right, title and interest may not be executed and/or witnessed in accordance with the Act of Assembly and any and all laws regulating the manner and/or form in which such assignments shall be executed and witnessed.

 

(4) Tenant, for itself and on behalf of any and all persons claiming through or under it (including creditors of all kinds), does hereby waive and surrender all right and privilege which they or any of them might have under or by reason of any present or future law, to redeem the Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease for the Term, as it may have been extended after having been dispossessed or ejected therefrom by process of law or under the terms of this Lease or after the termination of this Lease as herein provided.

 

(5) Neither this Lease nor any rights or privileges hereunder shall be an asset of Tenant in any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization proceeding. If Landlord shall not be permitted to terminate this Lease because of the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, Tenant or any trustee for it shall, within ninety (90) days from the commencement of the proceeding, assume or reject this Lease unless all defaults hereunder shall have been cured, Landlord shall have been compensated for any monetary loss resulting from such default and Landlord shall be provided with reasonably adequate assurance of full and timely performance of all provisions, terms and conditions of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed.

 

(6) The failure or delay on the part of either party to enforce or exercise at any time any of the provisions, rights or remedies in the Lease shall in no way be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Lease or any act hereof, or the right provision, right or remedy. No waiver of any breach or default of this Lease shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or default. The acceptance by Landlord of rent at a time when the rent is in

 

- 57 -


   default under this Lease shall not be construed as a waiver of such default. The acceptance by Landlord of a lesser amount than the rent due shall not be construed to be other than a payment on account of the rent then due, nor shall any statement on Tenant’s check or any letter accompanying Tenant’s check be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of the rent due or to pursue any other remedies provided in this Lease. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord’s agents or employees during the Term and any extension thereof shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such a surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord. Nothing contained in this Lease shall, however, preclude or limit such defenses, rights or remedies as Tenant may have in law or in equity or by rule of Court.

If the two (2) appraisers nominated and appointed by the parties shall differ in judgment as to such Fair Rental value, then they shall appoint a third (3rd) reputable and impartial real estate appraiser MAI or equivalent) located in the City of Philadelphia to determine such Fair Rental Value. If the appraisers selected by Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on a third (3rd) appraiser, the third appraiser shall be selected by the President of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers or if not in existence at the time in question, an equivalent successor person and

The determination of the appraisers as to the Fair Rental Value of the Premises for the Extension Period shall be final and binding on Landlord and Tenant, and the Minimum Rent during the Extension Period shall be so determined. The cost of the appraisal shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant. In the event the Minimum Rent for the Extension Period has not been determined pursuant to this Section 33.B prior to the commencement of the Extension Period, Tenant shall continue to pay Landlord the rent payable for the Premises pursuant to this Lease for the Year immediately preceding until the Minimum Rent for the Extension Period is determined. The Minimum Rent for the Extension Period shall be payable retro-actively from the commencement of the Extension Period notwithstanding the fact that the Minimum Rent for the Extension Period may not be determined as of that time.

C. If Tenant does not exercise the Extension Right at all or does not properly exercise the Extension Right, the Extension Right shall automatically be null, void and of no force or effect whatsoever. The terms “Premises” and “Extended Term” as used herein include the Additional Space and Additional Space Term if the Additional Space is part of the Premises.

4. TERM.

4.1 EXTENSION OF TERM. The Term of the Lease is hereby extended for a period of ten (10) years commencing on the Complete Delivery Date. For purposes of this Amendment, the last day of said term shall be referred to herein as the “EXPIRATION DATE.” When the Complete Delivery Date and Expiration Date have been established, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute and acknowledge a confirmation of Lease Term in a form mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant.

4.2 OPTION TO EXTEND TERM. Tenant is hereby granted two (2) options (each, an “EXTENSION OPTION” and collectively, the “EXTENSION OPTIONS”) to extend the Term of the Lease (as extended by this Amendment), with respect to all of the Premises as then constituted, each for a consecutive additional period of five years (each of which periods is hereinafter referred to as an “EXTENSION TERM”), on the following terms and conditions:

(A) EXERCISE OF EXTENSION OPTION. Tenant shall exercise an Extension Option by delivering to Landlord written notice (the “EXTENSION NOTICE”) on or before the date (“EXTENSION DECISION DATE”) that is two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the expiration date of the Term (as the same previously may have been extended), time being of the essence. Each Extension Term shall begin on the day immediately following the date that, prior to the exercise of the applicable Extension Option, previously had been the Expiration Date.

(B) CONDITION TO EXERCISE. The extension of the Term by Tenant’s exercise of an Extension Option shall be contingent upon there being no uncured Event of Default on the date Tenant exercises the Extension Option or any time thereafter until the commencement of the respective Extension Term. For purposes of this Section, an uncured Event of Default shall not be deemed to have occurred by Tenant if Tenant has commenced to cure such default within the time period required by the Lease and at all times thereafter has been and continues to diligently to effect such cure. Should an uncured Event of Default exist at the time Tenant exercises the Extension Option, or should such an Event of Default occur following Tenant’s exercise of the Extension Option, such Event of Default shall not nullify or void Tenant’s exercise of the Extension Option, but instead shall suspend the commencement of an Extension Term until such time as the Event of Default is cured. At any time prior to or

 

- 12 -


following Tenant’s exercise of an Extension Option, Tenant shall have the right to request that Landlord deliver to Tenant written notice of any Event of Default of which Landlord then has actual knowledge and Landlord shall respond to such request within ten (10) business days. If Landlord fails to respond within said ten (10) business day period, then Tenant’s exercise of the applicable Extension Option shall be deemed effective.

(C) TERMS OF LEASE DURING EXTENSION TERM. In the event that Tenant exercises an Extension Option, each Extension Term shall be on the same terms and conditions as specified for the Term of this Lease, except that (a) the Annual Rent during each Extension Term shall be adjusted, for and during the renewal term, to the “Fair Market Rental” (as defined below) of the Premises in effect at the commencement of that Extension Term, (b) there shall be no tenant improvement allowance or other tenant concessions, except as otherwise a part of Fair Market Rental, and (c) there shall be no further right of extension other than the unexercised second Extension Option.

(D) DETERMINATION OF FAIR MARKET RENTAL. Promptly after the determination by Landlord of the Fair Market Rental, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s Extension Notice, Landlord shall send written notice to Tenant thereof and shall advise Tenant of the adjustment to the Annual Rent. In the event Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Rental or if Landlord fails to deliver said notice, Landlord and Tenant shall have thirty (30) days to negotiate in good faith the determination of the Fair Market Rental. In the event the parties cannot agree on such determination, then either party may, by written notice to the other party, require that the determination of the Fair Market Rental be made by an independent M.A.I. appraiser having substantial experience with leasing of similar office space in Center City Philadelphia. Such M.A.I. appraiser shall be mutually agreed to by Landlord and Tenant within fifteen (15) days. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on an appraiser, Landlord shall select one, Tenant shall select one and the two appointed parties shall jointly select a third appraiser (the “panel of appraisers”), provided each of the appraisers shall have substantial experience with leasing of similar office space in Center City Philadelphia. Such M.A.I. appraiser (or panel of appraisers) shall be chosen within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s notice requiring determination by appraisal. Within thirty (30) days after the selection of the appraiser (or panel of appraisers) Landlord and Tenant shall each present to the appraiser (or the panel of appraisers) a written proposal specifying their belief as to the Fair Market Rental. The appraiser (or the panel of appraisers by majority vote) shall accept either the Landlord’s proposal or the Tenant’s proposal for Fair Market Rental, which decision shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Landlord and Tenant shall separately pay any fees and expenses of any separate counsel and witnesses selected by them, and shall divide equally the fees and expenses charged by the appraiser (or the panel of appraisers).

(E) DEFINITION OF FAIR MARKET RENTAL. For the purpose of this Amendment, the term “FAIR MARKET RENTAL” is understood to mean the minimum base rental (with (x) associated prevailing market base year/escalation formulations, and (y) if fair market conditions would otherwise include free rent, construction allowances, special concessions or any other leasing concessions (collectively, “CONCESSIONS”), an associated adjustment in minimum base rental to account for said Concessions) which a landlord would receive annually by then renting the space in question (using the same square footages/floor factor set forth in this Lease), assuming the Landlord to be a prudent person willing to lease but

 

- 13 -


being under no compulsion to do so, assuming the Tenant to be a prudent person willing to lease but being under no compulsion to do so, and assuming a lease containing the same terms and provisions as those contained in the Lease. Fair Market Rental shall take into consideration all relevant factors including the condition, size and location of the space as well as security for Landlord’s undertakings. Landlord and Tenant agree that bona fide written offers to lease comparable office space located in the Building from third parties (as adjusted for size, condition and location) may be used as a factor in determining the Fair Market Rental.

4.3 TENANT’S EARLY TERMINATION RIGHT. Tenant shall have the right on one occasion to terminate the Lease as to all or a portion of the Premises and its remaining term (the “TERMINATION OPTION”), which termination, if properly exercised, only shall be effective on a date (the “TERMINATION DATE”) that is between the seventh (7th) and eighth (8th) anniversaries of the Complete Delivery Date.

(A) EXERCISE OF TERMINATION OPTION. Tenant shall exercise the Termination Option by delivering to Landlord written notice of termination (the “TERMINATION NOTICE”) at least two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the Termination Date.

(B) TERMINATION FEE. As a condition to the effective exercise of the Termination Option, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on or before the Termination Date a fee (the “TERMINATION FEE”) equal to the sum of (i) unamortized portion as of the Termination Date of the Build-Out Allowances and all leasing commissions actually paid by Landlord to brokers in connection with this Amendment (the “COMMISSIONS”) plus (ii) six (6) months of Annual Minimum Rent proportionately attributable to the portion of the Premises so terminated. The amortization period for the Build-Out Allowance and the Commission shall be the period commencing on Complete Delivery Date and ending on the Expiration Date. The amortization shall be calculated on an annual basis using an interest rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. The effective exercise of the Termination Option by Tenant shall be contingent upon Tenant’s timely delivery of the Termination Fee, time being of the essence.

(C) CONDITION TO EXERCISE. The effective termination of the Lease by Tenant shall be contingent upon there being no uncured Event of Default existing on the date on which Tenant delivers the Termination Notice or any time thereafter until and including the Termination Date. For purposes of this Section, an uncured Event of Default shall not be deemed to have occurred by Tenant if Tenant has commenced to cure such default within the time period required by the Lease and at all times thereafter has been and continues to diligently to effect such cure. At any time prior to Tenant’s delivery of the Termination Notice, Tenant shall have the right to request Landlord to deliver to Tenant written notice of any Event of Default of which Landlord then has actual knowledge and Landlord shall respond to such request within ten (10) business days. If Landlord fails to respond within said ten (10) business day period, then no such Event of Default, if one exists, shall prevent the effectiveness of Tenant’s election of the Termination Option. Should an uncured Event of Default exist at the time Tenant exercises the Termination Option, or should an Event of Default occur following Tenant’s exercise of the Termination Option, such Event of Default shall not nullify or void Tenant’s exercise of the Termination Option, but instead shall suspend the termination from becoming effective until such time as such Event of Default is cured.

8.5 DETERMINATION OF FAIR MARKET RENTAL. Landlord and Tenant shall have fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Acceptance Notice to negotiate in good faith the determination of the Fair Market Rental.

8.8 DELIVERY OF OFFER SPACE. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant possession of any Offer Space added to the Premises pursuant to this Section free of all personal property, garbage and debris, and removable trade fixtures to the extent specified by Tenant.

10.7 COUNTERPARTS. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same Amendment notwithstanding that all parties hereto have not signed the same counterpart. Signatures on this Amendment which are transmitted by facsimile shall be valid for all purposes. Any party shall, however, deliver an original signature on this Amendment to the other party upon request.

10.8 SUBMISSION OF AMENDMENT. Submission of this Amendment for examination and negotiation does not constitute an offer. This Amendment shall become effective only upon the execution and delivery hereof by all of the parties to this Amendment.

10.9 AUTHORITY. Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually represent and warrant to the other that all consents or approvals required of third parties (including, but not limited to, any lenders, Board of Directors, partners or governors) for the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment (other than any required of Landlord’s lender) have been obtained and that Landlord and Tenant each have the right and authority to enter into and perform its covenants contained in this Amendment and that this Amendment is binding upon them in accordance with its terms.

Background

CLA and CBS Broadcasting Inc., formerly known as CBS Inc. (“ CBS ”) are the sole partners in BCA. Each of CLA and CBS own equal interests in BCA/CH LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that is the sole general partner of BCA (“ BCA GP ”). BCA owns an office building known as 40 Monument Road, Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania (the “ Bala Property ”). The Individuals constitute all of the partners in CLA.

BCA has entered into an Exchange Agreement dated as of August 17, 2007, as amended (the “ Exchange Agreement ”) with One Cherry Hill Corp., a New Jersey corporation (“ CH Corp. ”) pursuant to which BCA has agreed to convey the Bala Property to CH Corp. in exchange for the conveyance by CH Corp. to BCA of an office building known as One Cherry Hill Plaza, Cherry Hill, New Jersey (the “ Cherry Hill Property ”) plus cash and/or a note equal to the difference in the agreed values between the Bala Property and the Cherry Hill Property (such transaction, the “ Exchange ”). The Exchange Agreement values the Bala Property at $19,500,000, subject to adjustment if a lease with AXA Equitable Life Assurance Society (“ AXA ”) is not renewed upon terms specified in the Exchange Agreement, and values the Cherry Hill Property at $15,300,000. The Exchange Agreement requires that each of the Bala Property and the Cherry Hill Property be exchanged free and clear of all debt and monetary encumbrances.

The Cherry Hill Property is physically located within the boundaries of the Cherry Hill Mall, a first class regional mall owned indirectly by PREIT in Cherry Hill, New Jersey (the “ Mall ”).

BCA has entered into an agreement with CBS (the “ Redemption Agreement ”), contingent upon closing occurring under the Exchange Agreement, to redeem CBS’s interest in BCA, including CBS’s interest in BCA GP, at the First Closing, such redemption to be for a consideration paid in cash and/or by assignment of a note from CH Corp. The redemption of CBS’s interest in BCA will be a condition of the UPREIT’s obligation to close under this Agreement.

The UPREIT and the PR GP have agreed to make capital contributions to BCA in exchange for interests in BCA, the Rubins, Coradino and Shore have agreed to contribute their


partnership interests in BCA to the UPREIT in exchange for Class A Units of partnership interest (the “ Class A Units ”) in the UPREIT and Stone has agreed to assign his partnership interests in BCA to the UPREIT for cash, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

The UPREIT and PREIT shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless CLA and each Individual against and in respect of any and all Damages arising out of, based upon or otherwise in respect of: (a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of PREIT or the UPREIT made in or pursuant to this Agreement; and (b) any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or obligation of PREIT or the UPREIT contained in this Agreement.

9.3 Limitation . No party may assert a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 9 unless the First Closing has occurred under this Agreement.

9.4 Procedure For Indemnification – Third-Party Claims .

(a) Within thirty (30) days after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any proceeding against it to which the indemnification in this Section 9 relates, such indemnified party shall, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under Section 9, give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such proceeding, but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party, except to the extent that the indemnifying party, demonstrates that the defense of such proceeding is materially prejudiced by the indemnified party’s failure to give such notice.

(b) If any proceeding referred to in paragraph (a) above is brought against an indemnified party and it gives notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such proceeding, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in such proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the indemnifying party is also a party to such proceeding and the indemnified party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, or (ii) the indemnifying party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the indemnified party of its financial capacity to defend such proceeding and provide indemnification with respect to such proceeding), to assume the defense of such proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such proceeding, the indemnifying party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the indemnified party under Section 9 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such proceeding, in each case subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense of such proceeding, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a proceeding, (A) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that proceeding are within the scope of and subject to indemnification; (B) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party’s consent unless (l) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law by the indemnified party (or any affiliate thereof) or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the indemnified party, and (2) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party. The indemnified party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of the claims underlying such proceeding effected without its consent. If notice is given to an indemnifying party of the commencement of any proceeding and the indemnifying party does not, within ten days after the indemnified party’s notice is given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such proceeding, the indemnifying party will be bound by any determination made in such proceeding or any compromise or settlement effected by the indemnified party.

 

- 22 -


(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a proceeding may adversely affect it or its affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnified party may, with respect to those issues, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such proceeding, but the indemnifying party will not be bound by any determination of a proceeding so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent.

9.5 Procedure for Indemnification—Other Claims . A claim for any matter not involving a third party claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought.

9.6 Right of Set-Off . PREIT and the UPREIT shall have the right to set-off, against any payments to be made by the UPREIT or any Class A Units to be issued by the UPREIT at the Second Closing or the Third Closing, any amount owed to any PREIT Indemnitee provided, however, such set off shall be as to the Individuals severally, with respect to Damages chargeable to such Individual. To the extent that an Individual contests an indemnification claim of PREIT or the UPREIT that would be the basis for the exercise of a right to set off against any payments or Class A Units owed to an Individual, the UPREIT shall pay such amount or issue such Class A Units and deposit them with an escrow agent reasonably satisfactory to the UPREIT and the Individuals until the earlier to occur of (i) resolution of such dispute by a final nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) the mutual agreement of the Individuals and the UPREIT that such units should be released from escrow.

9.7 Indemnification Payments . The Individuals shall be entitled to use cash or Class A Units to make indemnification payments hereunder. In the event Class A Units are used, each such Unit shall be valued based on the per share Value (as defined in the UPREIT Partnership Agreement) of a PREIT Share as of the date such Unit is tendered to PREIT as an indemnification payment hereunder.

9.8 Representative . The Individuals hereby appoint George Rubin as their agent and attorney-in-fact to represent each Individual in connection with any claim made hereunder. Said attorney-in-fact shall have full power and authority to compromise claims and give releases on behalf of each Individual.

9.9 Survival . The rights and obligations of the parties set forth in this Section 9 shall survive all Closings.

SECTION 10. TERMINATION AND ABANDONMENT.

10.1 Termination . This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated herein may be abandoned at any time prior to the First Closing:

(i) by any party hereto, if the First Closing has not occurred on or before June 30, 2008, or such later date as the parties may mutually agree upon in writing;

(ii) by mutual consent of the UPREIT, PREIT, CLA and the Individuals;

(iii) by PREIT and the UPREIT, if any of the conditions in Section 7.1(a) have not been satisfied as of the First Closing Date or if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes impossible (other than through the failure of PREIT or the UPREIT to comply with

its obligations under this Agreement) and PREIT and the UPREIT have not waived all such unsatisfied conditions before termination pursuant to this subparagraph (iii);

(iv) by CLA or any Individual if any of the conditions in Section 7.1(b) have not been satisfied as of the Closing Date or if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes impossible and CLA and the Individuals have not waived all such unsatisfied conditions before termination pursuant to this subparagraph (iv); or

(v) by PREIT pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.6 of this Agreement.

10.2 Procedure for Termination; Effect of Termination . A party terminating this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall give written notice thereof to each other party hereto, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be abandoned without further action by any party and all further obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate; provided, however, that if the reason for such termination is attributable to the willful failure of a party to perform its obligations hereunder, or a willful misrepresentation or breach of warranty, then such party shall reimburse to the other party its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) in connection with this Agreement and the efforts to proceed to closing hereunder.

SECTION 11. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

ARTICLE 4

After taking into account any special allocations pursuant to Section 4.02 and subject to any limitations contained therein, Profits and Losses for any year or portion thereof shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with this Section 4.01.

 

  (a) Profits. Profits shall be allocated among the Partners as follows:

 

  (i) First, among the Partners who have previously been allocated Losses pursuant to Section 4.01(b)(ii) in the same proportion as such Losses have been allocated, until the cumulative Profits allocated to each Partner pursuant to this Section 4.01(a)(i) equal the cumulative Losses allocated to each Partner pursuant to Section 4.01(b)(ii);

 

  (ii) Then, among all of the Partners in accordance with their Percentage Interests.

 

  (b) Losses. Losses shall be allocated among the Partners as follows:

In the year of liquidation of the Partnership, if the allocations set forth in Section 4.01(a) and Section 4.01(b) would result in Capital Account balances that are not as described in the preceding sentence, Profits and Losses and, if necessary, items of gross income and deduction shall be specially allocated among the Partners to the extent necessary to cause each Partner’s Capital Account balance to be equal to the amount that would be distributed to such Partner if liquidating distributions were made in accordance with Article 3 of this Agreement.

Section 4.02 Special Allocations.

(a) Limitation on Allocation of Items of Loss or Deduction. No Partnership items of loss or deduction may be allocated to any Partner to the extent such allocation would result in an Adjusted Capital Account deficit balance for such Partner. Any items of loss or deduction that are prohibited to be allocated to a Partner under the preceding sentence shall be reallocated among the other Partners to whom such limitation does not apply in accordance with their relative Percentage Interests. If, at the end of a year, any Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account deficit balance that exceeds the amounts described in subsection (a) of the definition of “Adjusted Capital Account,” such Partner shall be allocated items of gross income and gain to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess.

(b) Nonrecourse Deductions and Partnership Minimum Gain Chargeback. Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with their Percentage Interests. If there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain for any year, each Partner shall be allocated the next available items of income and gain for such year (and for subsequent years if necessary) equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain as determined in accordance with Regulation § 1.704-2(g) and the “minimum gain chargeback” requirement of Regulation § 1.704-2(f).

(c) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions and Chargeback. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any year shall be 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 as determined under Regulation § 1.704-2(i). If there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain in any year, each Partner shall be allocated items of income and gain for such year (and for subsequent years if necessary) equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain in accordance with Regulation § 1.704-2(i)(4).

 

11


(d) Qualified Income Offset. Any Partner who unexpectedly receives, with respect to the Partnership, an adjustment, allocation, or distribution of any item described in subsections (4), (5), or (6) of Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii) (d) shall be allocated items of income and gain in an amount sufficient to eliminate such Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account deficit balance arising thereby as quickly as possible, in accordance with the “qualified income offset” rule of Regulation § 1.704-1(b) (2) (ii) (d) (3) .

(e) Curative Allocations. The special allocations set forth in this Section 4.02 are intended to comply with the requirements of the Regulations under § 704(b) of the Code. It is the intent of the Partners that all such special allocations shall be offset with other special allocations. Accordingly, to the extent consistent with the Regulations, to the extent that any such special allocations are made to a Partner, subsequent offsetting special allocations shall be made to such Partner such that the net amount of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction allocated to each Partner is the same that would have been allocated to each Partner if no special allocations had been made to any Partner, taking into account future special allocations that, although not yet made, are likely to offset previous special allocations.

Section 4.03 Allocation During Year. For purposes of determining Profits, Losses, or any other items allocable to any period ending on a date other than the last day-of the Partnership’s year, Profits, Losses, and any such other items shall be allocated among such periods using such method permitted by § 706 of the Code and the Regulations thereunder as shall be chosen by the General Partner.

Section 4.04 Tax Allocations.

(a) General Allocation. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.04, items of income, gain, loss and deduction as determined for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated in the same manner as the related items of Profits, Losses, or specially allocated items. Tax credits shall be allocated in accordance with Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).

(b) Contributed Property. In accordance with § 704(c) of the Code and the 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 Book Value.

(c) Revaluations. If the Book Value of any Partnership property is adjusted pursuant to Section 2.04(d)(ii) of this Agreement, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such property shall be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under § 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder.

(d) No Effect on Capital Accounts. Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.04 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, or other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

 

12


(e) Allocation Method. The method for making allocations pursuant to Section 4.04(b) and Section 4.04(c) shall be such method permitted by Regulation § 1.704-3 as shall be selected by the General Partner.

Subject only to the express limitations contained in the other provisions of this Agreement, the General Partner shall have the exclusive right and responsibility to manage the business of the Partnership and is hereby authorized to take any action of any kind and to do anything and everything the General Partner deems necessary in connection therewith, including authorizing confession of judgment against the Partnership. The General Partner shall have all of the rights and powers of a general partner under the Act.

(a) sell, exchange, or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Property other than in a transaction in which no gain is recognized by the Partnership as a result of such disposition; or

(b) incur or assume any indebtedness secured by the Property that is recourse to any Partner within the meaning of Regulation §1.752-2 or prepay any such indebtedness with any Capital Contribution from a Partner.

Nothing set forth in this Section 5.02 shall be deemed to limit the restrictions upon the sale of the Property set forth in Section 6.7 of the Contribution Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Section 5.02 and the terms of Section 6.7 of the Contribution Agreement, the terms of Section 6.7 of the Contribution Agreement shall prevail.

Section 5.03 Contracts with Affiliates. The Partners authorize the General Partner to execute, deliver and perform on behalf of the Partnership the Leasing and Management Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “C.” The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, may enter into other contracts and agreements for property or services in the ordinary course of business with any Partner or any Affiliate of a Partner, provided such contracts and agreements are on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Partnership than the terms and conditions that could be obtained by the Partnership in the same type of transaction with an independent third party.

Section 5.04 Partnership Expenses. All expenses of the Partnership shall be billed directly to and be paid by the Partnership. The General Partner shall be reimbursed for all expenses incurred by it for or on behalf of the Partnership.

BOOKS AND RECORDS; TAX AND FINANCIAL MATTERS

Section 6.01 Books and Records. Proper and complete records and books of account of the Partnership shall be maintained at the principal place of business of the Partnership. The Partnership books shall be closed and balanced at the end of each fiscal year.

Section 6.02 Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Partnership shall end on the last day of the month of December each year.

Section 6.03 Reports and Tax Returns.

Within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year (subject to reasonable delays in the event of difficulty in obtaining or compiling of tax information), the Partnership shall transmit to each Person who was a Partner at any time during the fiscal year the Schedule K-1 (IRS Form 1065) for the Partner for such year. The General Partner shall cause to be prepared and filed all tax returns for the Partnership, and all tax elections concerning the Partnership shall be made at the direction of the General Partner. Each Partner agrees that it shall not take on any of its original or amended income tax returns or claims for refund any position with respect to any Partnership item of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit that is inconsistent with the treatment of such item by the Partnership on the Schedule K-1.

TRANSFERS, ADMISSIONS, AND WITHDRAWALS

Section 7.01 Transfers. Except as provided in this Agreement, no Partner shall Transfer all or any portion of the Partner’s Interest without the written consent of the General Partner, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of the General Partner. In connection with any permitted Transfer, if required by the General Partner the transferee shall provide the Partnership with a written opinion from legal counsel acceptable to the General Partner that such transfer will not violate any state or federal securities law, and will not cause a termination of the Partnership under Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code. The transferee shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by the Partnership in connection with such Transfer. With respect to any Interest held by an entity other than UPREIT, each such entity agrees that it will not permit any of its direct or indirect owners to Transfer all or any part of their direct or indirect ownership interests in such entity except in accordance with this Section 7.01. Any purported Transfer in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void. The Partners acknowledge that the restrictions on Transfers contained herein are reasonable and necessary to protect the interests of the Partners with respect to the Partnership. If in connection with a permitted Transfer of an Interest the transferor requests that the Partnership make an election under Section 754 of the Code and provides the Partnership with the information required by Regulation § 1.743-1(k), the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to make the election under Section 754 of the Code provided such election does not result in a negative adjustment to the tax basis of the Partnership’s assets with respect to any other Partner.

Section 7.02 Admissions. Except as provided in this Agreement, no transferee of an Interest shall be admitted as a Partner of the Partnership without the written consent of the General Partner, and only if the transferee agrees to be legally bound by this Agreement as a Partner and executes and delivers to the Partnership such documents and instruments as are necessary or appropriate in connection with the transferee becoming a Partner. The transferee shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by the Partnership in connection with such admission. Any transferee of an Interest who is not admitted as a Partner shall have the rights of an assignee with respect to distributions and Profits, Losses, and other allocations attributable to the transferred Interest, but shall have no rights as a Partner under this Agreement or the Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Interest of the assignee shall be subject to the restrictions contained in this Agreement applicable to Interests held by a Limited Partner.

Section 7.03 No Withdrawal. The Limited Partners shall have no right to withdraw from the Partnership prior to the dissolution and winding up of the Partnership. The General Partner agrees that it shall not withdraw from the Partnership prior to the dissolution and winding up of the Partnership.

Section 7.04 Incapacity of Limited Partner. The Incapacity of a Limited Partner shall not dissolve or terminate the Partnership. In the event of such Incapacity, the executor, administrator, guardian, trustee or other personal representative of the Limited Partner affected by such Incapacity shall be deemed to be the assignee of such Limited Partner’s Interest and may, subject to Section 7.02, become a substituted Limited Partner.

The liquidation of Partnership property shall be carried out as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof.

(b) Payments and Distributions. Partnership property or the proceeds therefrom, to the extent sufficient therefor, shall be applied and distributed in the following order of priority, with no distribution being made in any category set forth below until each preceding category has been satisfied in full:

EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION

Section 9.01 Exculpation. No Indemnified Party shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Partnership or the Limited Partners for any act or omission of the Indemnified Party on behalf of the Partnership, provided that the act or omission is not determined by a court to be due to such Indemnified Party’s willful misconduct or recklessness or material breach of this Agreement.

Section 9.02 Indemnification. The Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party against any loss or damage (including attorneys’ and other professional fees) incurred by the Indemnified Party on behalf of the Partnership or in furtherance of the Partnership’s interests, without relieving the Indemnified Party of liability for willful misconduct or recklessness or material breach of this Agreement. The satisfaction of any indemnification shall be from and limited to Partnership’s assets and no Partner shall have any liability on account thereof. The right to indemnification shall include the right to be paid or reimbursed by the Partnership the reasonable expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in advance of the final disposition of any proceeding; provided, however, that the advance payment of such expenses shall be made only upon delivery to the Partnership of a written affirmation by such Indemnified Party of such Indemnified Party’s good faith belief that the Indemnified Party has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under this Agreement and a written undertaking, by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement or otherwise.

ARTICLE 10

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 10.01 General. As of the date hereof, each of the Partners makes each of the representations and warranties applicable to such Partner as set forth in this Section 10.01, and such representations and warranties shall survive the execution of this Agreement.

(a) Due Incorporation or Formation; Authorization of Agreement. If such Partner is a corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company, or other legal entity, it is duly organized or formed, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation and has the power and authority to own property and carry on its business as owned and carried on at the date hereof and as contemplated hereby. Such Partner is duly licensed or qualified to do business and in good standing in each of the jurisdictions in which the failure to be so licensed or qualified would have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations hereunder, and the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or

 

17


partnership or company action. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of each Partner.

(b) No Conflict or Default. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by such Partner of the transactions contemplated hereby (i) will not conflict with, violate, or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions, or provisions of any law, regulation, order, writ, injunction, decree, determination, or award of any court, any governmental department, board, agency, or instrumentality, or any arbitrator, applicable to such Partner, and (ii) will not conflict with, violate, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under any of the terms, conditions, or provisions of the articles of incorporation, bylaws, partnership agreement, operating agreement, or other organizational documents of such Partner, or of any material agreement or instrument to which such Partner is a party or by which such Partner is or may be bound or to which any of its material properties or assets are or may be subject.

(c) Governmental Authorizations. Any registration, declaration or filing with or consent, approval, license, permit or other authorization or order by, any governmental or regulatory authority that is required in connection with the valid execution, delivery, acceptance, and performance by such Partner under this Agreement or the consummation by such Partner of any transaction contemplated hereby has been completed, made, or obtained on or before the effective date of this Agreement.

(d) Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings, or investigations pending or, to the knowledge of such Partner, threatened against or affecting such Partner or any of such Partner’s properties, assets, or businesses in any court or before or by any governmental department, board, agency, instrumentality, or arbitrator which, if adversely determined, could (or in the case of an investigation could lead to any action, suit, or proceeding which, if adversely determined, could) reasonably be expected to materially impair such Partner’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 10.02 Investment Representations. Each Limited Partner represents and warrants that it has acquired its Interest for its own account as part of a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state law for investment purposes and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, and that it has had access to any and all information necessary to arrive at its decision to acquire its Interest. In addition to the restrictions on transfer of Interests otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no Interest may be sold, transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of by any Partner in the absence of registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state law, or an opinion of counsel experienced in securities matters and satisfactory to the General Partner that such assignment or other disposition will not be in violation of said Act or state laws. No Limited Partner shall have any right to require registration of its Interest under said Securities Act or applicable state law and, in view of the nature of the Partnership and its business, such registration is neither contemplated nor likely. Each Limited Partner further acknowledges that it understands that the effect of the foregoing representation and warranty and restriction on assignment or other disposition is generally to require that such Interest be held indefinitely unless it is registered or an exemption from registration is available.

 

18

Section 11.11 Other Business and Investment Ventures. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other agreement to which a Partner is a party, each Partner may engage in other business or investment ventures, including business or investment ventures in competition with the Partnership, and neither the Partnership nor the other Partners shall have any rights in such business or investment ventures.

Such compliance shall be undertaken in the name of Owner, and be at Owner’s expense. Agent shall give prompt written notice to Owner of any violation or notice of alleged violation of such laws and Agent shall not bear responsibility for failure of the Premises or the operation thereof to comply with such laws unless Agent has committed gross negligence or a willful act or omission in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

Losses caused by failure to exercise reasonable diligence shall be borne by Agent.

2.4 The Agent shall prepare and submit to the Owner a proposed operating and capital budget for the promotion, operation, repair and maintenance of the Premises for each calendar year. Preliminary and final budgets will be due ninety (90) and sixty (60) days, respectively, prior to the end of each calendar year. Such budgets shall be prepared on a cash basis showing a month by month projection of income and expense and capital expenditures and shall be accompanied by proposed leasing guidelines for the next ensuing calendar year which shall contain a brief narrative description of the anticipated market, a projection of cash flow for such year, listing expiring leases for the next following year as well as project ranges of rental rates and terms for new or renewal leases, estimates of concessions to tenants and of cost estimates of alterations for space to be leased. The annual budget shall be deemed approved unless Agent receives written notification of disapproval within thirty (30) days after the date such budget was tendered to Owner for approval; Owner shall have the right to disapprove line items in such budget or the entire budget. In the event of a line item disapproval, all portions of the budget not disapproved shall automatically be deemed approved. In the event of such disapproval of the budget or any specific line items thereof, the parties will promptly meet and resolve such differences and Agent will promptly thereafter resubmit a revised budget to Owner who shall have an additional ten (10) days to approve or disapprove the same and such procedure shall continue until the budget has been approved. If Owner shall fail to disapprove the revised budget within ten (10) days of receipt, the same shall be deemed approved.

2.5 Agent agrees, for itself and all persons retained or employed by Agent in performing its services, to hold in confidence and not to use or disclose to others any confidential or proprietary information of Owner heretofore or hereafter disclosed to Agent including, but not limited to, any data, information, plans, programs, processes, costs, operations or tenants which may come within the knowledge of Agent in the performance of or as a result of its services, except where Owner specifically authorizes Agent to disclose any of the foregoing to others or such disclosure reasonably results from the performance of Agent’s duties hereunder or is required to be disclosed pursuant to litigation.

2.6 The Agent agrees to use its best efforts to have the Premises rented to desirable tenants, satisfactory to the Owner considering the nature of the Premises, and in connection therewith to negotiate business terms for relocation and/or expansions, new leases and renewals of leases at appropriate times, it being understood that all inquiries to the Owner with respect to leasing any portion of the Premises shall be referred to the Agent. At least once per year Owner and Agent shall meet and mutually develop a “leasing game plan” for the ensuing calendar year which game plan shall specify projected vacancies, projected rentals and other pertinent terms of new leases or lease renewals, costs to be incurred in obtaining tenants and other relevant matters. Owner hereby authorizes Agent to implement the approved leasing game plan and to negotiate and execute leases in accordance therewith and confirms that any leases so executed shall be deemed approved by Owner and Owner shall pay Agent the leasing commission set forth in this Agreement with respect to each lease executed by a tenant consistent with the leasing game plan.

All leases and renewals shall be prepared by the Agent on the Agent’s form lease, and such leases shall either be executed by Agent on behalf of Owner or, at Agent’s option shall be executed by the Owner. The Agent agrees it will observe the specific leasing guidelines, if any, set forth in the approved budget or otherwise made known to the Agent in writing by the Owner. In the event the Agent shall have a prospective tenant reference from another property in the local market area where the Premises are located in which the Agent has a beneficial interest or which the Agent manages, the Agent shall declare its potential conflict of interest to the Owner, and the Owner shall determine if negotiations shall be undertaken by the Agent, the Owner, or a third party appointed by the Owner. References of prospective tenants, as well as their varying use requirements, shall be investigated by the Agent.

2.7 Anything in the Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding:

Unless expressly provided, Agent shall not be responsible or obligated to


 

advance its own funds for any purpose in the performance of Agent’s duties under this Agreement.

  (d) Wherever Agent is obligated to use its “best efforts or reasonable efforts” under this Agreement such term is intended to signify and shall mean that Agent shall exercise its professional skill and expertise with diligence and in a commercially reasonable manner and consistent with high quality practice for the management of similar buildings located in the geographic area in which the Premises are situate. However, such a standard shall not impose additional duties or obligations on Agent not set forth in this Agreement, such as, by way of example, an obligation to advance Agent’s funds or to commence litigation against third parties, or to take extraordinary actions or to perform services not customarily provided by managers of comparable buildings in the local geographic area. Nothing in this Agreement shall require Agent to perform the obligations of others or exercise any efforts (other than reasonable efforts) to cause them to perform such obligations.

 

  (e) Everything done by Agent in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and all expenses incurred pursuant hereto shall be for and on behalf of Owner and for its account and at its expense. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all debts and liabilities incurred to third parties in accordance with the annual budget and in the ordinary course of business of managing the Premises are and shall be obligations of Owner, and Agent shall not be liable for any such obligations by reason of its management, supervision or operation of the Premises for Owner.

7.2 In the event a party hereto (the “Defaulting Party”) (a) materially defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and such default remains uncured for more than twenty (20) days’ after such party’s receipt of written notice from the other party hereto, except for defaults not susceptible to cure within twenty (20) days, provided as to such defaults the Defaulting Party commences to cure within such twenty (20) day period and diligently prosecutes each cure; or (b) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (c) has appointed a receiver, liquidator or trustee of its property; or (d) is adjudicated to be a bankrupt or insolvent; or (e) has filed by or against it any petition for the bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement of the Defaulting Party or, if such appointment, adjudication or petition be involuntary and not consented to by the Defaulting Party and fails to proceed diligently to have

7.3 This Agreement shall terminate at the election of the Owner upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Agent if the Premises are sold by the Owner to a non-affiliated third party purchaser or automatically if the Premises were acquired by the owner on foreclosure of a mortgage and are subsequently redeemed. In the event the Premises are sold by the Owner to a non-affiliated third party purchaser and this Agreement is not thereby terminated by the Owner, the Agent shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days prior written notice. The Term “non-affiliate” as used herein shall mean any entity which is not an “affiliate” as such term is defined in Section 8.1 hereof.

In addition, after any termination by the Owner, the Owner and the Agent will as promptly as possible settle any outstanding balances with each other and render final accounts as to any items overlooked or treated incorrectly in any previous settlement, accounting or remittance. Upon any termination of this Agreement, Agent shall assign to Owner or Owner’s nominee all service, supply and other contracts and agreements pertaining to the Premises entered into by Agent in accordance with this Agreement and thereupon Owner shall be fully responsible and liable for the performance of all obligations of Agent under all such contracts and agreements occurring after the date of such assignment and Agent shall have no further responsibility or liability with respect thereto. Owner shall indemnify and hold Agent harmless with respect to all such contracts.

7. Rate of leasing commissions, if any

Owner shall pay to Agent a leasing commission for each existing and new tenant lease, expansion, renewal lease and license and concession in the Premises. In the case of existing leases, license and concession, the commission shall be                      (    %) percent of the gross cash income and receipts referred to in § 6 above received by Owner from each existing tenant, license and concession. With respect to each new lease,


license or concession, or lease amendment effecting a relocation, the amount of the leasing commission shall be the greater of: (a) three percent (3%) of the gross cash income and receipts referred to in § 6 above, received by Owner from each tenant during each year, or (b) a lump sum payment of five percent (5%) of the rent and escalations received for the 1 st year of such lease, plus four percent (4%) of such items for the second year of such lease, plus three percent (3%) of such items for the 3 rd year of such lease, plus two percent (2%) of such items for the fourth year of such lease plus one percent (1%) of such items for each remaining year, plus one and one-half percent (1.5%) of such items for each year of any renewal term or (b) $             for each square foot of floor area demised by such document. For the purpose of the above calculations, Owner will be deemed to have received any free rent which by such lease is abated. The commission referred to in (a) shall be paid monthly and that specified in (b) shall be paid seventy five percent (75%) upon lease execution (or, if such lease is not executed by Owner, upon Agent’s procuring a person or entity ready, willing and able to lease the space in question on terms set forth in the approved leasing game plan) and twenty five percent (25%) upon occupancy except that the portion relating to lease extensions (whether subsequently negotiated or pursuant to an option contained in the lease) shall be paid on the commencement of each extension period. In the event a tenant subsequently expands its space, a similar leasing commission shall be paid by the Owner to Agent for the expansion area. In the event that an outside broker obtains a new tenant, Owner shall be solely responsible for the commission due such outside broker and Agent shall nevertheless receive its leasing commission with respect to such lease if such is calculated pursuant to (a) above, or, if paid pursuant to (b) above, Agent shall receive one-half of the amount paid to such outside broker.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Partners of

Bala Cynwyd Associates

Wynnewood, Pennsylvania 19096

We have audited the balance sheets of Bala Cynwyd Associates (a partnership) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of income, changes in partners’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bala Cynwyd Associates as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary schedules of operating and maintenance expenses on page 13 are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements, and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005

 

 

 

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
  A. Operations

Bala Cynwyd Associates (The Partnership) was formed as a Pennsylvania partnership organized to acquire, develop, lease, operate and maintain an office building located in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. The office building has approximately 80,000 square feet with four tenants.

 

  B. Real Estate

Real estate acquired by The Partnership has been stated at cost. Depreciation of building and site improvements is computed by the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives, ranging from five to forty years. Amortization of tenant improvements is calculated over the terms of related leases on a straight-line basis and is included in depreciation expense.

 

  C. Income Taxes

Income taxes are not recorded by The Partnership because the individual partners are responsible for income taxes based on their respective interests in net income or loss.

 

  D. Deferred Charges

Deferred financing costs are expenditures related to mortgage debt acquisition and are being amortized over the term of the debt agreement on a straight-line basis.

Deferred leasing costs are expenditures paid to real estate brokers for services rendered in obtaining tenants. These costs are being amortized over the terms of the related tenant leases on a straight-line basis.

Deferred rent credits are reductions in the rent (“free rent”) charged tenants at the beginning of the lease term to induce such tenants to lease space in the building. These credits are being amortized over the terms of the related tenant leases as a charge against rental income.

Deferred rental adjustments arise from the averaging and spreading of scheduled rental increases over the entire term of a tenant’s lease in order to recognize rental income evenly (“straight-lining”) from those applicable tenants.

 

  E. Statements of Cash Flows

For purposes of these statements, cash and cash equivalents are defined as all unrestricted demand deposits and time deposits which mature within three months.

 

  F. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

It is the policy of the management to review the outstanding accounts receivable at year-end, as well as the actual bad debts experienced in the past, to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts for uncollectible amounts.

 

  G. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and to disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Partners of

Bala Cynwyd Associates

Wynnewood, Pennsylvania 19096

We have audited the balance sheets of Bala Cynwyd Associates (a partnership) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of income, changes in partners’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bala Cynwyd Associates as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary schedules of operating and maintenance expenses on page 13 are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements, and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
  A. Operations

Bala Cynwyd Associates (The Partnership) was formed as a Pennsylvania partnership organized to acquire, develop, lease, operate and maintain an office building located in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. The office building has approximately 80,000 square feet with four tenants.

 

  B. Real Estate

Real estate acquired by The Partnership has been stated at cost. Depreciation of building and site improvements is computed by the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives, ranging from five to forty years. Amortization of tenant improvements is calculated over the terms of related leases on a straight-line basis and is included in depreciation expense.

 

  C. Income Taxes

Income taxes are not recorded by The Partnership because the individual partners are responsible for income taxes based on their respective interests in net income or loss.

 

  D. Deferred Charges

Deferred financing costs are expenditures related to mortgage debt acquisition and are being amortized over the term of the debt agreement on a straight-line basis.

Deferred leasing costs are expenditures paid to real estate brokers for services rendered in obtaining tenants. These costs are being amortized over the terms of the related tenant leases on a straight-line basis.

Deferred rent credits are reductions in the rent (“free rent”) charged tenants at the beginning of the lease term to induce such tenants to lease space in the building. These credits are being amortized over the terms of the related tenant leases as a charge against rental income.

Deferred rental adjustments arise from the averaging and spreading of scheduled rental increases over the entire term of a tenant’s lease in order to recognize rental income evenly (“straight-lining”) from those applicable tenants.

 

  E. Statements of Cash Flows

For purposes of these statements, cash and cash equivalents are defined as all unrestricted demand deposits and time deposits which mature within, three months.

 

  F. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

It is the policy of the management to review the outstanding accounts receivable at year-end, as well as the actual bad debts experienced in the past, to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts for uncollectible amounts.

 

  G. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and to disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

  H. Restricted Cash

The Partnership maintains escrow cash accounts with the mortgage lender to fund future cash commitments for real estate taxes and cash with the management company for self-insurance claims.

The Partnership signed a management and leasing agreement with an affiliate, PREIT-RUBIN, Inc., to obtain tenants and to manage the operations of the building. The agreement, which expired on May 31, 1998, is currently running on a year-to-year basis.

Under the management agreement, the manager receives a fee, payable monthly, of 2.5% of all minimum rents and reimbursements for operating costs and real estate taxes actually received from tenants. In addition, the manager is reimbursed for payroll and related costs incurred on the partnership’s behalf.

Under the leasing agreement, if the manager is the sole broker, the leasing commissions paid are 75% upon tenant occupancy and the remaining 25% on the first anniversary based upon the amount of a tenant’s percentage of annual minimum rentals as follows:

 

1st Year

   5%

2nd Year

   4%

3rd Year

   3%

4th Year

   2%

5th through 10th Year

INITIAL TERM; RENEWAL TERMS

This Agreement shall be for a term (the “ Initial Term ”) commencing on the date hereof (the “ Commencement Date ”) and ending, unless earlier terminated pursuant to Article 10 , on the second (2 nd ) anniversary of the last day of the month in which the Commencement Date occurs. Thereafter, this Agreement shall be renewed automatically and shall continue (unless terminated in accordance with Article 10 ) for successive one-year periods (each, a “ Renewal Term ”) commencing on the day following the last day of the Initial Term or the preceding Renewal Term, as the case may be, unless any Partner shall, at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be, notify Manager and the other Partners that the notifying Partner elects to require that this Agreement not be renewed for the next renewal period in question. Manager may also elect to terminate this Agreement at the end of the Initial Term or a Renewal Term, as the case may be, by notifying Owner of such election at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be.

ARTICLE 3

OPERATIONAL DUTIES AND AUTHORITY OF MANAGER

During the Initial Term, and any applicable Renewal Terms, Manager shall undertake and perform or cause to be performed the Management Services in a diligent and efficient manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation, the Annual Plan (as hereinafter defined) and the standard for property management in first-class

 

- 2 -


office buildings in the vicinity of the Project (the “ Management Standard ”), and subject always to the direction of the General Partner of Owner. In case third party contractors or any tenants perform any Management Services, then with regard to such Management Services, the role of Manager shall be supervisory. If possible without unreasonable accounting or record keeping complexities, Manager will use reasonable efforts to make available to Owner the benefits of the economies of scale and other efficiencies obtainable as a result of discounts Manager may receive in connection with combined purchases for other buildings managed by Manager.

Section 3.01. Employees; Independent Contractors . Subject to the Annual Plan, Manager shall for the account of Owner, in Manager’s reasonable discretion and as part of its authority hereunder, select, employ, pay, supervise, direct and discharge all such employees and independent contractors as Manager deems reasonably necessary to perform the Management Services; provided , however , that Owner’s approval shall be required in the case of any contract which (a) has a term in excess of one year (or such longer period as Owner may designate) or provides for annual payments in excess of $10,000 (or such higher amount as Owner may designate), (b) is a renewal or extension of a contract which had a term of one year (or such longer period as the Owner may designate) or less or provided for annual payments of $10,000 (or such higher amount as the Owner may designate) or less, or (c) is entered into with any Affiliate of Manager; provided , further , however , that the senior staff assigned by Manager to the Project shall be subject to Owner’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Manager shall (i) use reasonable care in the selection of such employees or independent contractors, (ii) execute and file punctually when due all forms, reports and returns required by law relating to such employee and (iii) carry, or cause to be carried by independent contractors, such workmen’s compensation insurance and employer’s liability and disability insurance as

 

- 3 -


may be worker’s by law or Owner. All persons employed by Manager or by any independent contractor employed by Manager in connection with the performance of the Management Services shall be employees of Manager or such independent contractor or contractors, as the case may be. Manager shall use reasonable diligence to meet the requirements of any labor contract now or hereafter applicable to Manager and/or the Project.

Section 3.02. Annual Plan . (a) At least sixty (60) days prior to the Commencement Date, and thereafter no later than November 1 of each succeeding year, Manager shall prepare and submit to Owner an “ Annual Plan ” setting forth all items of the character specified in Schedule B , including but not limited to the costs and revenues anticipated in connection with the activities of the Project during the succeeding calendar year, which Annual Plan shall be consistent with the Management Standard and shall, to the extent possible, project the calendar months in which major costs are projected to become payable. If any portion of an Annual Plan is unacceptable to Owner, Owner shall so notify Manager within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Annual Plan, and the parties shall thereupon make a good faith effort to negotiate an Annual Plan which is mutually acceptable to them. If the parties are unable to agree upon an Annual Plan, the Annual Plan proposed by Owner shall be the approved Annual Plan. An Annual Plan shall be deemed accepted by Owner as submitted by Manager unless Owner notifies Manager to the contrary within thirty (30) days after Owner’s receipt of such Annual Plan. In no event shall there be any requirement (whether pursuant to this Agreement, an Annual Plan or otherwise) for the hiring or use of “on site” supervisory personnel without Owner’s written approval of such requirement. Except as set forth in subparagraph (b) below, Manager shall take no action in connection with the operation of the Project which deviates in any material respect from an Annual Plan approved by Owner. Manager shall make its

 

- 4 -


management representatives available at least once a month (and more frequently in the event of an emergency or a major matter) for meetings with representatives of Owner to discuss the activities of the Project and to receive the directions of Owner with respect thereto. Owner may call such a meeting, by at least fifteen (15) days’ advance notice to Manager (or, in the case of emergencies or major matters, upon such shorter notice as Owner may reasonably deem appropriate), to be held at Manager’s office in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, or such other place as the parties may agree.

(b) In incurring costs relating to the management, operation and maintenance of the Project, Manager shall be guided by the Annual Plan approved by Owner as then in effect for such period and shall use diligence and employ reasonable efforts towards achieving the result that the actual costs of such management, operation and maintenance do not exceed the amount approved in the then applicable Annual Plan. Manager may not incur any costs which result in a material deviation from such costs set forth in the Annual Plan without the prior written consent of Owner (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided , however , that Manager may incur costs and expenses (including, without limitation, capital costs) in reasonable amounts which exceed those set forth in the Annual Plan without prior approval of Owner if, in the reasonable judgment of Manager, an emergency exists and it is in the best interests of Owner that such costs and expenses be incurred. Manager shall notify Owner of any emergency expenditure within forty-eight (48) hours after the incurrence thereof.

(c) Manager shall promptly inform Owner of any actual or projected material increase in costs and expenses necessary to manage, operate and maintain the Project that were not foreseen during the Annual Plan preparation period and not reflected in the Annual Plan, and shall submit to Owner a revised Annual Plan based upon such unforeseen costs

 

- 5 -


and expenses. No such revision to the Annual Plan shall become effective except with the prior written approval of Owner (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If disapproved, Manager shall promptly meet with Owner to agree on the revised Annual Plan. During any period when an Annual Plan shall not be in effect, Manager, shall use its reasonable judgment in incurring costs and expenses in the name of Owner and shall be guided by the most recent approved Annual Plan.

Section 3.03. Supplies and Equipment . Subject to Section 3.02 , Manager shall purchase for the account of Owner all supplies, materials, tools and equipment which are necessary or appropriate to operate and maintain the Project in accordance with the Management Standard.

Section 3.04. Service Contracts . Manager may negotiate and enter into for the account of Owner any and all contracts and agreements with third parties for all services, supplies or other matters relating to the management, operation or maintenance of the Project contemplated by the Annual Plan containing such terms as Manager shall in its reasonable opinion deem appropriate. With respect to any contract or agreement not contemplated by the Annual Plan, Manager may not (except in the case of any contract expressly permitted under Section 3.01 hereof) negotiate and enter into the same without Owner’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Each contract and agreement entered into by Manager pursuant to Manager’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be for the account of Owner and shall be in Owner’s name or assignable, at Owner’s option, to Owner or Owner’s nominee.

Section 3.05. Collection of Receivables . Manager shall determine all amounts of all fixed rent, percentage rent, additional rent and other sums payable by all tenants in the Project

 

- 6 -


and shall send invoices and bills to the tenants therefor. Manager shall use diligent efforts to collect all rents (including, without limitation, billings for tenant participation in operating and fixed expenses, taxes and common area maintenance charges) which may become due to Owner at any time from any tenant or from others for Project services and shall collect and identify any income due to Owner from miscellaneous services provided to tenants of the Project or to the public. If approved by Owner, Manager shall, at Owner’s expense, retain legal counsel and collection agencies to enforce any right or remedy against any tenant that is in default of its lease obligations.

Section 3.06. Compliance with Lease Obligations . Manager shall generally administer and perform on behalf of Owner all of Owner’s lease obligations under any leases of space in the Project.

Section 3.07. Repairs, Decorations, Alterations . Manager shall institute and supervise all ordinary and extraordinary repairs, decorations and alterations, including the administration of a preventive maintenance program, for all mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems and equipment of the Project and may retain any consultants, construction manager, contractors, architects or similar parties who are reasonably necessary in order to perform such work; provided , however , that (subject to the rights of Manager in the event of an emergency as provided in Section 3.02 ) Manager shall not, without the consent of Owner (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) incur any material expense not included in the approved Annual Plan. Manager shall promptly report to Owner any fire or other material damage to the Project.

Section 3.08. Taxes . If requested by Owner to do so, Manager shall obtain and verify bills for real estate and personal property taxes (if any), improvement assessments and

 

- 7 -


similar assessments which are or may become liens against the Project. Manager shall promptly forward such bills to Owner for payment, or, if such amounts are included in the Annual Plan, Manager shall pay all such items.

Section 3.09. Mortgages . If requested by Owner to do so by including such amounts in the Annual Plan or otherwise, Manager shall make payments on accounts of any mortgages, loans or credit obligations of the Project.

Section 3.10. Leasing . Manager shall be responsible for (a) the development and execution of a marketing program for the leasing of the Project (which program shall include, to the extent approved by Owner, the use of independent third party brokers to be paid commissions by Owner in accordance with rates approved by Owner) and (b) the negotiation of all tenant leases. Any such marketing program and lease negotiation process shall be conducted by Manager in strict accordance with leasing guidelines approved by Owner.

(a) In the event that any Applicable Units are issued by the Operating Partnership pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, then the Trust shall prepare and file with the SEC, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to become effective, within six (6) months following the applicable Closing Date, a registration statement on Form S-3 (or, if Form S-3 is not then available, on such form of registration statement as is then available to effect a registration of all of the Registrable Securities to be so registered) covering the resale of all of the Shares issuable in connection with the redemption of the Applicable Units issued to the Holders on the applicable Closing Date.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.1 , but subject to Section 2.7(b) , in the event that the Trust is required to prepare and file a registration statement covering Registrable Securities pursuant to paragraph (a) above, the Trust shall have the right, upon written notice to the Holders, to defer the filing or effectiveness of such registration statement for up to ninety (90) days (the number of days of any such deferral being hereinafter referred to as the “ Registration Deferral Period ”) if (i) the Trust is, at such time, working on an underwritten public offering of its securities for the account of the Trust and is advised by its managing underwriter that such offering would in its opinion be materially adversely affected by such a filing; or (ii) the Trust determines reasonably and in good faith that the filing or effectiveness of such a registration statement, or the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant thereto, would require the disclosure of material non-public information, the disclosure of which at such time could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business or affairs of the Trust or a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Trust or any of its subsidiaries to engage in any extraordinary engagement or activity, including,

(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement for the period set forth in paragraph (a) above;

(b) Each Holder shall (i) offer to sell or otherwise distribute the Registrable Securities in reliance upon a registration contemplated by this Agreement only after a registration statement shall have been filed with the SEC, (ii) sell or otherwise distribute the

 

5


Registrable Securities in reliance upon a registration only after a registration statement has been filed and declared effective under the Securities Act, (iii) upon the receipt of any notice from the Trust of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 2.2(f)(i)(B) , (C)  (but only with respect to the jurisdiction suspending qualification), (D)  or (E) , forthwith discontinue any offer and disposition of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until such time as the Trust shall have remedied such event or prepared an appropriate amendment or supplement to the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities and, if so directed by the Trust, deliver to the Trust all copies of the defective prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that are then in such Holder’s possession or control, (iv) distribute the Registrable Securities in reliance upon a registration contemplated by this Agreement only in accordance with the manner of distribution contemplated by the prospectus and (v) report to the Trust distributions made by such Holder of Registrable Securities pursuant to the prospectus.

(c) During any period that a registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement shall remain effective, no Holder shall (i) effect any stabilization transactions or engage in any stabilization activity in connection with the Shares or other equity securities of the Trust in contravention of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, or (ii) permit any “Affiliated Purchaser” (as that term is defined in Regulation M under the Exchange Act) to bid for or purchase for any account in which such Holder has a beneficial interest, or attempt to induce any other person to purchase, any Shares or other equity securities of the Trust in contravention of Regulation M under the Exchange Act.

(d) If the Trust is issuing or selling equity securities to the public in an underwritten offering, and the managing underwriter or underwriters for such underwritten offering so request, the Holders shall refrain from effecting any public sale or distribution of Registrable Securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such Registrable Securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act, for a period commencing on the tenth (10th) day prior to the date such underwritten offering commences (such offering being deemed to commence for this purpose on the later of the effective date for the registration statement for such offering or, if applicable, the date of the prospectus supplement for such offering) and ending 90 days after such underwritten offering commences; provided that all officers and directors of the Trust and holders of at least five percent (5%) of the Trust’s Shares enter into similar agreements and subject to any concession (such as early release from such lock-up) granted to any such officers, directors or holders.

6


agents, and any other person who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (collectively, the “ Holder Indemnitees ”), against any losses, claims, damages, expenses, judgments or liabilities (joint or several) to which any Holder Indemnitee may become subject, including any amount paid in settlement of any litigation commenced or threatened (unless such settlement is effected without the consent of the Trust, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and shall promptly reimburse each Holder Indemnitee, as and when incurred, for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Holder Indemnitee in connection with investigating any claims and defending any actions, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses, judgments or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) shall arise out of or shall be based upon (i) any violation or alleged violation by the Trust of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other securities laws, relating to action taken or action or inaction required of the Trust in connection with such offering, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement (or in any final prospectus included therein) relating to the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or in any document incorporated by reference therein, or (iii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided , however , that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.5(a)(ii) and (iii)  shall not apply to a Holder in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, expense, judgment, liability or action arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or any omission or alleged omission, if such statement or omission shall have been (A) made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Trust in writing by or on behalf of such Holder Indemnitee for inclusion in such registration statement (including any final prospectus contained therein), or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or (B) made in any preliminary prospectus and the final prospectus shall have corrected such statement or omission and a copy of such final prospectus shall have been delivered to such Holder Indemnitee prior to the time such final prospectus is required to be delivered by such Holder Indemnitee under applicable law and such loss, claim, damage, expense, judgment, liability or action arises out of such Holder’s failure to deliver such final prospectus in compliance with applicable law.

(b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust, each of its officers and trustees, each person, if any, who controls the Trust within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and any other Holder Indemnitee (collectively, the “ Trust Indemnitees ”), against any losses, claims, damages, expenses, judgments or liabilities (joint or several) to which any Trust Indemnitee may become subject, including any amount paid in settlement of any litigation commenced or threatened (unless such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and shall promptly reimburse each Trust Indemnitee, as and when incurred, for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Trust Indemnitee in connection with investigating any claims and defending any actions, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses, judgments or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) shall arise out of or shall be based upon (i) any violation by such Holder of Section 5 of the Securities Act in connection with such offering (other than as a result of such a violation by the Trust or any other person other than such Holder), (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement (or in any final prospectus included therein) relating to the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto,

 

7


or in any document incorporated by reference therein, or (iii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided , however , that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.5(b)(ii) and (iii)  shall only apply in any such case (A) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, expense, judgment, liability or action arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement contained in, or a material fact omitted from, information furnished to the Trust in writing by or on behalf of such Holder for inclusion in the registration statement (or in any final prospectus included therein), and (B) if any such untrue statement or material omission is incorporated by the Trust in any preliminary prospectus, to the extent that such statement or omission shall not have been corrected in writing by or on behalf of such Holder prior to the time the final prospectus is required to be delivered by the Trust under applicable law.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.5 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.5 , deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees 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 failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.5 to the extent of such prejudice, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.5 .

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.5 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the circumstances that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

 

8


(e) The obligations of the Trust and the Holders under this Section 2.5 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement and the termination of this Agreement. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

Section 2.6 Assignment of Registration Rights . The rights to cause the Trust to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Article II may be assigned by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities or Applicable Units that (a) is an Affiliate of such Holder, or (b) is a member of such Holder’s immediate family or is a trust for the benefit of such Holder or a member of such Holder’s immediate family; provided , however , that (i) within ten days after such transfer, the transferring Holder furnishes to the Trust written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned, and (ii) such transferee agrees to be subject to all restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

Section 2.7 Information Blackout .

(a) At any time when a registration statement covering Registrable Securities is effective, upon written notice from the Trust to the Holders that the Trust has determined reasonably and in good faith that the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement would require disclosure of material non-public information, the disclosure of which at such time could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business or affairs of the Trust or a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Trust or any of its subsidiaries to engage in any extraordinary engagement or activity, including, without limitation, any material acquisition of assets or any merger, consolidation, tender offer or similar transaction, the Holders shall suspend sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement until the earlier of (i) forty-five (45) days after the Trust notifies the Holders of such good faith determination, or (ii) such time as the Trust notifies the Holders that such material information has been disclosed to the public or has ceased to be material or that sales pursuant to the registration statement may otherwise be resumed (the number of days from such suspension of sales by the Holders until the day when such sales may be resumed hereunder being hereinafter referred to as the “ Sales Blackout Period ”).

(b) In no event shall the Trust be permitted to impose Registration Deferral Periods or Sales Blackout Periods that, collectively, extend for more than ninety (90) days in any given twelve (12) month period.

Section 2.8 Rule 144 Reporting . With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations under the Securities Act that may at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Shares to the public without registration, at all times that the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Trust shall use its reasonable efforts to:

 

9


(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

(b) file with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Trust under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

(c) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities (or Applicable Units), furnish to such Holder forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Trust as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Trust, and (iii) such other reports and documents of the Trust as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing such Holder to sell any such securities without registration.

Exhibit 10.12

AMENDMENT NO. 2

TO THE

PENNSYLVANIA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST

2008 RESTRICTED SHARE PLAN FOR NON-EMPLOYEE TRUSTEES

WHEREAS, Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (the “Trust”) established the Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust 2008 Restricted Share Plan for Non-Employee Trustees (the “Plan”) to provide originally for automatic grants to each of its Non-Employee Trustees of 1,000 restricted shares of beneficial interest in the Trust (“Restricted Shares”), commencing January 30, 2008;

WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees, at its May 29, 2008 meeting, authorized the amendment of the Plan to provide that annual awards for each Non-Employee Trustee would be in the form of Restricted Shares equal in value to $55,000, which amendment is represented by the resolutions of the Board adopted on that date;

WHEREAS, as a result of a decrease in the value of PREIT common shares prior to any award under the Plan as so amended, the Plan was automatically suspended due to an insufficient number of shares subject thereto; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9(a) of the Plan, the Board may amend the Plan, subject to certain inapplicable limitations, at any time; and

WHEREAS, the Board, at its May 28, 2009 meeting, rescinded the amendment referred to above and authorized the amendment of the Plan as set forth below;

NOW THEREFORE, effective as of January 28, 2009, Section 7(a) and Section 7(c) of the Plan are hereby amended to read in their entirety as follows:

 

  7. Grants

 

  (a) Automatic Grant of Restricted Shares . As of May 28, 2009 and, thereafter, as of the first business day following the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Trust (or, if Shares do not trade on such business day, then as of the first trading day thereafter), 2,000 Restricted Shares shall be issued automatically to each Non-Employee Trustee for no payment.

*                    *                     *

 

  (c)

Restrictions . Except as otherwise specifically provided by the Plan, Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of, and if the Participant ceases to be a member of the Board for any reason, must be forfeited to the Trust. For grants made in 2008, these restrictions will generally lapse with respect to one-third of the Restricted Shares on each of the first three anniversaries following the grant date (or, if such anniversary is not a trading day, the trading day next preceding such anniversary) as specified in the


 

Participant’s Restricted Share Agreement. For grants made after December 31. 2008, these restrictions will generally lapse with respect to one-third of the Restricted Shares on May 1 of each year following their grant date (or, if such May 1 is not a trading day, the trading day next preceding such May 1). However, such restrictions will immediately lapse in full upon the Participant’s death or Disability. Upon the lapse of the restrictions, Shares will cease to be Restricted Shares for purposes of the Plan. The Board may at any time accelerate the time at which the restrictions on all or any part of any of the Restricted Shares will lapse.

*                    *                     *

Except for the amendments hereinabove set forth, the terms of the Plan are reconfirmed. The foregoing amendments are not intended, and shall not be construed, to alter the terms of the Restricted Shares granted under the Plan in 2008.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust has caused these presents to be duly executed as of May 28, 2009.
