    (c)           At

of the Final Aggregate Consideration Value.

     

    (i)           As

Parent OP shall prepare and deliver to the Representative (A) a proposed
calculation of the Net Working Capital as of immediately prior to the Closing,
(B) a proposed calculation of the amount of Closing Date Funded
Indebtedness, (C) a proposed calculation of the amount of Company Transaction
Expenses (including each of the components thereof), and (D) a proposed

    (ii)          If
the Representative does not give written notice of dispute (an “Aggregate Consideration
Dispute Notice”) to Parent OP by 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the
30th
calendar day following receipt of the Proposed Closing Date Calculations, the
Representative (on behalf of the Contributors) and the Parent Parties agree that
the Proposed Closing Date Calculations shall be deemed to set forth the final
Net Working Capital, Closing Date Funded Indebtedness, Company Transaction
Expenses and Aggregate Consideration Value, in each case, for all purposes hereunder
(including, without limitation, the determination of the Actual
Adjustment).  If the Representative gives an Aggregate Consideration
Dispute Notice to Parent OP (which Aggregate Consideration Dispute Notice must
set forth, in reasonable detail, the items and amounts in dispute and all other
items and amounts not so disputed shall be deemed final) within such 30-day
period, Parent OP and the Representative shall use reasonable efforts to resolve
the dispute during the 30-day period commencing on the date Parent OP receives
the applicable Aggregate Consideration Dispute Notice from the
Representative.  If the Representative and Parent OP do not agree upon
a final resolution with respect to such disputed items within such 30-day
period, then the remaining items in dispute shall be submitted immediately to
PricewaterhouseCoopers or, if such firm is unable or unwilling to serve, to an
independent nationally-recognized accounting firm mutually acceptable to Parent
OP and the Representative (excluding their respective regularly used accounting
firms) (such accounting firm, the “Accounting
Firm”).  Parent OP and the Representative shall request the
Accounting Firm to render a determination (which determination shall be made
consistent with the terms of this Agreement for calculating the amount(s) in
dispute) with respect to the applicable dispute within 45 days after
referral of the matter to such Accounting Firm, which determination must be in
writing and must set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis
therefor.  The determination made by the Accounting Firm with respect
to each of the remaining disputed items (and only the remaining disputed items)
shall not be greater than or less than the amounts proposed by the
Representative and Parent OP, as the case may be, for each of such disputed
items.  The terms of appointment and engagement of the Accounting Firm
shall be as agreed upon between the Representative and Parent OP, and any
associated engagement fees shall initially be borne by Parent OP; provided, that such
fees shall ultimately be allocated in accordance with Section
2.3(d)(iii).  The Accounting Firm shall act as an arbitrator
and not an expert and the determination of such Accounting Firm shall constitute
an arbitral award and shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parent Parties,
the Contributors and the Representative upon which a judgment may be rendered by
a court having proper jurisdiction thereover.  Parent OP and the
Representative shall jointly revise the Proposed Closing Date Calculations as
appropriate to reflect the resolution of any objections thereto pursuant to this
Section
2.3(d)(ii), and, as revised, such Proposed Closing Date Calculations
shall be deemed to set forth the final Net Working Capital, Closing Date Funded
Indebtedness, Company Transaction Expenses and Aggregate Consideration Value, in
each case, for all purposes hereunder
(including, without limitation, the determination of the Actual
Adjustment).  The procedures set forth in this Section 2.3 shall be
the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to the determination of the Aggregate
Consideration Value and any disputes with respect to any components
thereof.

     

    (iii)         In
the event the Representative and Parent OP submit any unresolved objections to
the Accounting Firm for resolution as provided in Section 2.3(d)(ii),
the responsibility for the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be as
follows:

     

    (A)           if
the Accounting Firm resolves all of the remaining objections in favor of Parent
OP’s position (the Aggregate Consideration Value so determined is referred to
herein as the “Low
Value”), then all of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall
be paid by Parent OP, and Parent OP and the Representative shall deliver joint
written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent, subject
to Section
10.7(e), to deliver to Parent OP (from the Escrow Cash then remaining in
the Escrow Account) Escrow Cash equal to the amount of such payment by Parent OP
(including, for this purpose, the amount of any initial engagement fees paid by
Parent OP pursuant to Section
2.3(d)(ii));

    (B)           if
the Accounting Firm resolves all of the remaining objections in favor of the
Representative’s position (the Aggregate Consideration Value so determined is
referred to herein as the “High Value”), then
Parent OP shall be responsible for all of the fees and expenses of the
Accounting Firm; and

     

    (C)           if
the Accounting Firm neither resolves all of the remaining objections in favor of
Parent OP’s position nor resolves all of the remaining objections in favor of
the Representative’s position (the Aggregate Consideration Value so determined
is referred to herein as the “Actual Value”), then
all of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be paid by Parent OP,
and Parent OP and the Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to
the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent, subject to Section 10.7(e), to
deliver to Parent OP (from the Escrow Cash then remaining in the Escrow Account)
Escrow Cash equal to that fraction of the fees and expenses of the Accounting
Firm paid by Parent OP (including, for this purpose, the amount of any initial
engagement fees paid by Parent OP pursuant to Section 2.3(d)(ii))
equal to (x) the difference between the High Value and the Actual Value over (y)
the difference between the High Value and the Low Value.

     

    (iv)           Parent
OP shall, and shall cause each Group Company to, make its relevant financial
records available to the Representative and its accountants (subject to the
execution of customary releases and indemnity agreements) and other
representatives at reasonable times during the review by the Representative of,
and the resolution of any objections with respect to, the Proposed Closing Date
Calculations.

     

    (e)       Adjustment
to Estimated Aggregate Consideration Value.

     

    (i)           If
the Actual Adjustment is a positive amount, then within three (3) Business Days
after the date on which the Aggregate Consideration Value is finally determined
pursuant to Section
2.3(d) above, Parent OP shall distribute, or cause to be distributed, out
of the proceeds of additional borrowings pursuant to the Financing which have
the benefit of the Member Guarantees, to each of the Contributors an amount in
cash equal to its Applicable Percentage Interest of such positive amount and
Parent OP and the Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the
Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver an amount in cash equal to
the Working Capital Escrow Amount to the Representative for further distribution
to the Contributors in accordance with their Applicable Percentage Interests;
and


    
      
         


      

      
        24

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    (ii)           If
the Actual Adjustment is a negative amount, then, subject to Section 10.7(e),
within three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Aggregate
Consideration Value is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.3(d) above,
Parent OP and the Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the
Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver to Parent OP (from the
Escrow Cash in the Escrow Account) Escrow Cash equal to the absolute value of
such negative amount and, if the Working Capital Escrow Amount is greater than
the absolute value of the Actual Adjustment, to distribute the amount by which
the Working Capital Escrow Amount exceeded the absolute value of the Actual
Adjustment to the Representative for further distribution to the Contributors in
accordance with their Applicable Percentage Interests.  In the event
that the Working Capital Escrow Amount is less than the absolute value of the
Actual Adjustment, then the instruction described in the preceding sentence
shall include a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the
Escrow Agent to deliver to Parent OP from the Escrow Units then remaining in the
Escrow Account) Escrow Units equal in value (valued at the Parent Closing Price)
to the difference between the absolute value of the Actual Adjustment and
Working Capital Escrow Amount.

     

    (f)       Known
Claims Escrow

     

    (i)           During
the period of ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Parent
Parties shall notify the Representative in writing, along with reasonable
supporting documentation, if they believe any representations or warranties
contained in Article

a claim by the Parent Indemnitees after the Closing pursuant to Section 10.2(a),

Parent OP and the Representative shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the
value of each Known Claim within five (5) Business Days of the Representative’s

    (ii)          If
Parent OP and the Representative are unable to agree upon the value of any Known
Claim within the five (5) Business Day period set forth in Section 2.3(f)(i),
Parent OP and the Representative shall each promptly select an arbitrator with
expertise in the business of operating outlet centers or shopping malls, which
arbitrators shall then select and mutually-agree upon a third independent
arbitrator with similar expertise (the “Claim Arbitrator”)
and Parent OP and the Representative shall promptly submit all unresolved Known
Claims to the Claim Arbitrator, along with each party’s final estimate of the
value of the unresolved Known Claim(s) (together with such supporting
documentation as such party shall deem appropriate). Within no more than ten
(10) days after the submission of the unresolved Known Claims, the Claim
Arbitrator shall determine if each unresolved Known Claim has been property
asserted and, if so properly asserted, shall choose either the final estimate of
Parent OP or the final estimate of the Representative, selecting the final
estimate of the value of the Known Claim that the Claim Arbitrator determines to
be more reasonable, taking into account all of the factors deemed relevant by
the Claim Arbitrator.  The party submitting the majority of the
estimates of Known Claims that were not selected by the Claim Arbitrator shall
pay all of the fees and expenses of the Claim Arbitrator.  For
purposes of Section
2.3(f)(iii), the value of any Known Claim shall be equal to the amount
agreed upon by Parent OP and the Company or determined by the Claim
Arbitrator.

     

    (iii)         If,

have an aggregate value in excess of $20,000,000, an amount (the “Known Claims Escrow
Amount”) equal to (i)(A) the aggregate value of the Known Claims minus (B)
$20,000,000, or (ii) such smaller amount as shall be determined by Parent REIT
in its sole discretion, will be deposited with the Escrow Agent at the Closing
pursuant to Section
2.5(b).

notification of a Known Claim, and any determination by the Claim Arbitrator
with respect to the validity or value of any Known Claim, shall be made for the
sole purpose of this Section 2.3(f) and
Section 2.5(b)
and shall not limit or otherwise affect the representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of

determination; (iv) no Group Company or any ERISA Affiliate has any liability or
obligation under any Employee Benefit Plan which provides medical, life
insurance or death benefits to Employees beyond termination of their employment,
except as may be required by Section 4980B of the Code, or has ever contracted
(whether in oral or written form) to any Employee (either individually or to
Employees as a group) that such Employee(s) would be provided with life
insurance, medical, severance or other employee welfare benefits upon their
retirement or termination of employment, except to the extent required by
Section 4980B of the Code; (v) no non-exempt “prohibited transaction,” within
the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA, has occurred
with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan; (vi) the sponsorship of each Employee
Benefit Plan (and the administration of the Lightstone Group, LLC 401(k) Plan)
can be transferred from the Group Companies to an Affiliate other than another
Group Company without liability to the Group Companies and the Group Companies
will cease to be participating employers in any Employee Benefit Plan as of the
Closing; (vii) the Group Companies have made all payments with respect to all
periods through the date hereof which are required by each Employee Benefit
Plan, each related trust, or by Law to be made to, or with respect to, each
Employee Benefit Plan (including all insurance premiums or intercompany charges
with respect to, each Employee Benefit Plan); and (viii) the Group Companies do
not have an obligation to reimburse or indemnify any Employee with respect to

the Company, threatened or anticipated (other than routine claims for benefits)
against the Group Companies or any administrator, trustee or other fiduciary of
any Employee Benefit Plan with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan or Employee
Agreement, or against any Employee Benefit Plan or against the assets of any
Employee Benefit Plan.

     

    (f)           From
and after the Closing, the Group Companies have no liability, contingent or
otherwise, to, or with respect to, any Employee Benefit Plan.

(including indoor or ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or
subsurface) or natural resources, including laws and regulations relating to the
release or threatened release of any Hazardous Substances or to the manufacture,

    (c)           There
are no Hazardous Substances at, on, under or migrating to or from, any real
property currently or formerly owned, leased or operated by any Group Company or
any of its respective predecessors, or any other location, in each case, that
could reasonably be expected to result in liability of the Group Companies under
or pursuant to any Environmental Law.

     

    (d)           No
Group Company has received any written notice or claim alleging that such Group
Company is or may be in violation of, or liable under, or a potentially
responsible party pursuant to, the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 or any other Environmental Law and, to
the knowledge of the Company, there is no basis for any such notice or
claim.  No Group Company has entered into or agreed to any consent
decree or order or is a party to any judgment, decree or judicial order relating
to compliance with Environmental Laws, Environmental Permits or the
investigation, sampling, monitoring, treatment, remediation, removal or cleanup
of Hazardous Substances that has not been resolved in all material respects and,

indemnitor in connection with any claim by any third party indemnity for any
liability under any Environmental Law or relating to any Hazardous
Substances.

     

    (e)           To

    (f)           The
Company has made available to Parent REIT prior to the date hereof true and
complete copies and results of any material reports, studies, analyses or
monitoring in the possession of any Group Company with respect to actual or

    Section
3.12     Intellectual
Property

     

    (a)           Except
as set forth on Schedule 3.12, the
Group Companies own, are licensed to use or otherwise have the right to use (in
each case free and clear of any Liens) all Intellectual Property required for
the operation of the business of the Group Companies (collectively, the “Company Intellectual
Property”).  Schedule 3.12 sets
forth all Intellectual Property owned by the Group Companies that is registered,
issued or the subject of a pending application for registration (collectively,
the “Company Owned
Intellectual Property”).  None of the Company Owned
Intellectual Property has been adjudged invalid or unenforceable and the Company
Owned Intellectual Property is valid and enforceable, subject to any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar
laws.


    
      
         


      

      
        39

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    

     

    (b)           Schedule 3.12 sets
forth all agreements (other than with respect to off-the-shelf software pursuant
to “shrink wrap” or “click wrap” license agreements) pursuant to which Company
Intellectual Property is licensed to the Group Companies by a third party or
pursuant to which any Group Company has granted to a third party the right to
use Company Owned Intellectual Property (collectively, the “Company IP
Licenses”).  Each Company IP License is valid and enforceable,
subject to any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
similar laws and none of the Group Companies or, to the Company’s knowledge, any
other party to any Company IP License is in breach thereof or default
thereunder.

     

    (c)           There
are no claims pending or threatened in writing against any Group Company (i)
against the use by such Group Company of any copyrights, patents, trademarks,
trade names, service marks, trade secrets, technology, know-how or computer
software programs and applications used in the business of the Group Companies
as currently conducted, (ii) challenging the ownership, validity or
effectiveness of any of the Company Owned Intellectual Property, or (iii)
challenging the license or legally enforceable right to use of the Company IP
Licenses.  The conduct of the business of the Group Companies as
currently conducted does not infringe or otherwise violate the U.S. Intellectual
Property rights of any Person.  With respect to Intellectual Property
used by, owned by or licensed to any Group Company, the Group Company owns the
entire right, title and interest in the Company Owned Intellectual Property
purported to be owned by the Group Company and has the right to use the other
Intellectual Property in the continued operation of its business as currently
conducted.  To the knowledge of the Company, no third party is
infringing or otherwise violating the Company Owned Intellectual Property
rights.

     

    Section
3.13     Labor
Matters

     

    (a)           No
work stoppage or labor strike against any of the Group Companies by Employees is
pending or threatened in writing.  The Group Companies (i) are not a
party to, or to the knowledge of the Company, threatened with any organized
labor dispute or litigation relating to labor matters involving any Employees,
including, without limitation, violation of any federal, state or local labor,
safety or employment Laws (domestic or foreign), charges of unfair labor
practices or discrimination complaints; (ii) have not engaged in any unfair
labor practices within the meaning of the National Labor Relations Act or the
Railway Labor Act; or (iii) are not presently, nor have been in the past party
to, or bound by, any collective bargaining agreement or union contract with
respect to Employees and no such agreement or contract is currently being
negotiated by the Group Companies or any of their Affiliates.

     

    (b)           No
Employees are currently represented by any labor union for purposes of
collective bargaining with any Group Company and no activities the purpose of
which is to achieve such representation of all or some of such Employees are
threatened or ongoing or have resulted in any petition for a representation
election filed with the National Labor Relations Board in the past three
months.

     

    (c)           To
the knowledge of the Company, no Employee is in violation of any employment
contract, patent disclosure agreement, or enforceable non-competition agreement
in any material respect.

    Section
3.14     Tax
Matters

     

    Except as
set forth on Schedule
3.14:

     

    (a)          Each
Group Company (i) has timely filed (or had filed on its behalf) all material Tax
Returns required to be filed by it (after giving effect to any filing extension
granted by a Governmental Entity) and (ii) has paid (or had paid on its behalf)
or will timely pay all material Taxes (whether or not shown on such Tax Returns)
that are required to be paid by it.  Each such Tax Return is true,
correct and complete in all material respects.  The Latest Balance
Sheet reflects an adequate reserve (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes
established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) for all
Taxes payable by the each Group Company for all taxable periods and portions
thereof through the date of the Latest Balance Sheet.  No Group
Company has executed or filed with the IRS or any other Governmental Entity any
agreement, waiver or other document or arrangement extending the period for
assessment or collection of material Taxes payable by a Group Company (including
any applicable statute of limitation), which waiver or extension is currently in
effect, and no power of attorney with respect to any Tax matter is currently in
force with respect to any Group Company.

     

    (b)          Each
Group Company has since its formation been treated for U.S. federal income tax
purposes as a partnership or disregarded entity, as the case may be, and not as
a corporation or an association taxable as a corporation.

     

    (c)           All
material deficiencies asserted or material assessments made with respect to
taxes payable by any Group Company and that have been set forth in writing to
such Group Company as a result of any examinations by the IRS or any other
Governmental Entity have been fully paid and copies of all such deficiency
notices or assessments, as well as materials relating to the settlement of such
claims have been provided or made available to representatives of Parent
REIT.  There are no other material audits, examinations or other
proceedings relating to any material Taxes payable by any Group Company by any
taxing Governmental Entity in progress.  No Group Company has received
any written notice from any Governmental Entity that it intends to conduct such
an audit, examination or other proceeding in respect of a material amount of
Taxes payable by a Group Company or make any material assessment for such
Taxes.  No Group Company is a party to any litigation or pending
litigation or administrative proceeding relating to a material amount of Taxes
payable by such Group Company (other than litigation dealing with appeals of
property tax valuations).

     

    (d)          Each
Group Company has complied, in all material respects, with all applicable laws,
rules and regulations relating to the payment and withholding of Taxes
(including withholding of Taxes pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, 1446, and
3402 of the Code or similar provisions under any state, local, or non-U.S. Tax
law) and has duly and timely withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing
authorities all material amounts required to be so withheld and paid over on or
prior to the due date thereof under all applicable Laws.

     

    (e)           No
material claim has been made in writing by a taxing authority in a jurisdiction
where a Group Company does not file Tax Returns that such Group Company is or
may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction.

    (f)           No
Group Company has requested any extension of time within which to file any
material Tax Return, which material Tax Return has not yet been
filed.

     

    (g)          No
Group Company is a party to any Tax sharing or similar agreement or arrangement,
other than any agreement or arrangement solely between two Group Companies,
pursuant to which it will have any obligation to make any payments after the
Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, a Tax Protection Agreement shall not
constitute a Tax sharing or similar agreement or arrangement.

     

    (h)          No
Group Company has requested a private letter ruling from the IRS or comparable
rulings from other taxing authorities.

     

    (i)           No
Group Company is or has ever been a member of an affiliated group filing a
consolidated federal income tax return.

     

    (j)          
Other than Liens for Taxes not yet delinquent and Liens for Taxes being
contested in good faith and for which there are adequate reserves on the
financial statements of the Company (if such reserves are required pursuant to
GAAP), there are no Liens for a material amount of Taxes (other than Taxes not
yet due and payable for which adequate reserves have been made if required
pursuant to GAAP) upon any of the assets of the Group Companies.

     

    (k)          Schedule 3.14(k)
lists each of the Tax Protection Agreements affecting the Group
Companies.  As of the date of this Agreement, no person has raised in
writing, or threatened to raise, a material claim against a Group Company for
any breach of any such Tax Protection Agreement.  Attached to Schedule 3.14(k) is a
true, correct and complete copy of each Tax Protection Agreement, including all
schedules that were attached thereto or completed in connection

REIT;

     

    (g)           The
Company shall, and shall cause each other Group Company to, promptly notify
Parent REIT of any suit, claim, action, investigation, proceeding or audit
brought against or with respect to the Company in respect of any Tax;

    Section

Information

     

    From and
after the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of
this Agreement in accordance with its terms, upon reasonable notice, and subject
to restrictions contained in any confidentiality agreements to which the Group
Companies are subject, the Company shall, and shall cause the Group Companies

representatives, during normal business hours reasonable access to all books and
records (including computer files, retrieval programs and similar documentation,
which, for the avoidance of any doubt, includes all Tax Returns, Tax work
papers, and other information used to prepare Tax Returns), properties and
offices, and authorized representatives of the Group Companies (including
accountants, financial advisors and attorneys) in a manner so as to not
materially interfere with the normal business operations thereof and shall
furnish or cause to be furnished to Parent REIT, Parent OP and Parent Sub or
their authorized representatives such additional information concerning the
Group Companies as shall be reasonably requested.  The Company shall
provide Parent REIT, Parent OP and Parent Sub and their authorized
representatives with appropriate office and conference room space as may be
requested by Parent REIT, Parent OP and Parent Sub and their authorized
representatives in connection with such access.  All of such
information shall be treated as confidential information pursuant to the terms
of the Confidentiality Agreement, the provisions of which shall survive the
execution of this Agreement and are by this reference hereby incorporated
herein.  Without limiting the foregoing, Parent REIT, Parent OP and
Parent Sub and their authorized representatives shall have the right to conduct

material or to perform any invasive testing procedure on any building or real
property unless such invasive testing procedure is (a) required, or would be
required after the Closing, by applicable Law or pursuant to the terms of, or to
prevent any default under, any Contract to which any Group Company is a party or
(b) based on the findings of any inspections or assessments conducted pursuant
to this Section

Group Companies to cooperate with Parent REIT’s investigations of the Group

    Section
6.4     Efforts to
Consummate

     

    (a)           Subject
to the terms and conditions herein provided, each of Parent REIT, Parent OP,
Parent Sub, the Company and the Contributors shall use reasonable efforts to
take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all
things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to
consummate and make effective as promptly as practicable the Contemplated
Transactions (including, without limitation, the satisfaction, but not waiver,
of the closing conditions set forth in Article 8 and the
entry into the Tax Matters Agreements, together with the Member Guarantees and
Capital Contribution Agreements that are exhibits thereto, and the New Company
Agreement).  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this
Agreement to the contrary (including the preceding sentence of this Section 6.4(a) and
Section
9.1(f)), in exercising such reasonable efforts to obtain any consent,
waiver or other accommodation (including the Required Consents) from any Person
that is not a Governmental Entity, none of the Group Companies, the
Contributors, Parent REIT, Parent OP, Parent Sub, or any of their respective
Affiliates, shall be obligated, except as otherwise provided in Annex E or Section 6.4(c) or
Section 6.5, to
incur any liability, commence or threaten to commence any litigation, agree to
any amendment to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, make any
payment (other than to attorneys, accountants and other advisors), offer or
grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) or agree or commit to any of
the foregoing.

     

    (b)           Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall
use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate in all material respects with
each other in connection with obtaining any consent, waiver or other
accommodation (including the Required Consents) from any Person as may be
necessary or desirable to obtain any consent, waivers or approvals required to
consummate the Contemplated Transactions and (ii) keep the other party informed
in all material respects and on a reasonably timely basis of any material
communication received by such party or any of its Affiliates from, or given by
such party or any of its Affiliates to, any lender, servicer or agent in
connection with obtaining the Required Consents.  Without limiting the
foregoing, (A) Parent OP and Parent REIT shall be given no less than three (3)
Business Days to review and comment on all materials or documents relating to
this Transaction or any of the parties hereto that is to be provided to any
lender, servicer or agent in connection with obtaining a Required Consent and
any such materials shall be revised to reflect any reasonable comments of Parent
REIT and Parent OP with respect thereto and (B) the Group Companies and their
representatives shall not engage or participate in any meeting or discussion or
proposed discussion with any lender, servicer or agent for the purpose of
discussing the Contemplated Transactions or the Required Consents without the
participation of Parent REIT or Parent OP and their advisors and representatives
and all such meetings and discussions will be scheduled to take place at times
and locations that are reasonably convenient for Parent REIT and Parent
OP.

    (c)           Subject
to the terms and conditions herein provided, in the event any claim, action,
suit, investigation or other proceeding by any Governmental Entity or other
Person is commenced which questions the validity or legality of the Contemplated
Transactions or seeks damages in connection therewith, each of the parties
hereto agrees to cooperate and use reasonable efforts to defend against such
claim, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding and, if an injunction or
other order is issued in any such action, suit or other proceeding, to use
reasonable efforts to have such injunction or other order lifted, and to
cooperate reasonably regarding any other impediment to the consummation of the
Contemplated Transactions.

     

    (d)           Parent
REIT, Parent OP and Parent Sub shall not, and shall not permit any of their
respective controlled Affiliates to, without the prior written consent of the
Representative, enter into any merger, acquisition, joint venture or debt or
equity financing, that would reasonably be expected to materially impair, delay
or prevent consummation of the Financing or the Contemplated
Transactions.

     

    Section
6.5     Financing

     

    (a)           Without
limiting Section
6.4, each of Parent OP and Parent Sub shall (and shall cause their
Affiliates to) take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be
done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and consummate the
Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Parent Revolving Credit
Facility (without, for the avoidance of doubt, any requirement to bring any
legal action against the Lender) , including (x) satisfying on a timely basis
all terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the Parent Revolving Credit
Facility, (y) entering into definitive agreements with respect thereto on terms
and conditions substantially similar to the terms and conditions contemplated by
the Parent Revolving Credit Facility and (z) consummating the Financing at or
prior to Closing.  Parent OP will furnish correct and complete copies
of all such definitive agreements to the Representative promptly upon their
execution.

     

    (b)           Without
limiting the foregoing, Parent OP and Parent Sub shall keep the Company and the
Representative informed on a reasonably current basis with respect to all
material activity concerning the status of their efforts to arrange and
consummate the Financing and shall give the Company and the Representative
prompt notice of any material adverse change with respect
thereto.  Parent OP and Parent Sub agree to provide written notice to
the Company and the Representative promptly, and in any event within two (2)
Business Days, if at any time any financing source that is to be a party to the
Parent Revolving Credit Facility notifies Parent OP or Parent Sub in writing
that such source no longer intends to provide financing to Parent OP or Parent
Sub on substantially the terms set forth therein, or Parent OP or Parent Sub
believes in good faith that it will be unable to obtain the Financing on
substantially the terms described in the Parent Revolving Credit
Facility.  None of Parent OP or Parent Sub shall amend or alter, or
agree to amend or alter, the Parent Revolving Credit Facility in any manner that
would be materially adverse to the Contributors or reasonably likely to prevent
or materially impair or delay the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions,
without the prior written consent of the Representative.


    
      
         


      

      
        65

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    

     

    (c)           If
any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on terms and conditions
substantially similar to the terms and conditions contemplated in the Parent
Revolving Credit Facility or the Parent Revolving Credit Facility shall be
modified in a manner materially adverse to Parent OP, Parent Sub or the
Contributors, Parent OP and Parent Sub shall (and shall cause their Affiliates
to) obtain and as promptly as reasonably practicable provide the Company and the
Representative with a copy of, a new credit facility (the “New Facility”) from
alternative sources on terms and conditions substantially similar to the terms
(including with respect to interest rate and fees) and conditions contemplated
in the Parent Revolving Credit Facility or any other financing of the type
permitted by Section 3.F of the Tax Matters Agreements as refinancing of the
Financing (“Alternate
Financing”); provided, that such
New Facility and such Alternate Financing must (i) provide for aggregate debt
financing to Parent OP that has the benefit of the Member Guarantees in an
amount equal to $550,000,000 (it being understood that a lesser amount may be
required to satisfy the Parent Parties’ obligations under this Agreement), (ii)
be available to fund the Special Distribution Amount and other amounts required
to be funded from the Financing, and (iii) otherwise satisfy the requirements
for the Financing under this Agreement.  To the extent applicable,
Parent OP and Parent Sub shall (and shall cause their Affiliates to) take, or
cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things
necessary, proper or advisable to arrange promptly and consummate the Alternate
Financing on the terms and conditions described in any New Facility, including
(x) satisfying on a timely basis all terms, covenants and conditions set forth
in the New Facility (without, for the avoidance of doubt, any requirement to
bring any legal action against the Lender); (y) entering into definitive
agreements with respect thereto on terms and conditions substantially similar to
the terms and conditions contemplated by the New Facility; and (z) consummating
the Alternate Financing at or prior to the Closing.  In the event
Alternate Financing is obtained and a New Facility is entered into, references
in this Agreement to the applicable Parent Revolving Credit Facility shall be
deemed to include the New Facility, as applicable.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent REIT, Parent OP and Parent
Sub acknowledge and agree that obtaining the Financing, or any Alternate
Financing, is not a condition to their respective obligations to consummate the
Contemplated Transactions at Closing; provided, that the
Parent Parties shall not be deemed to have breached Section 6.5(a) if
they obtain Alternate Financing in accordance with Section
6.5(c).

     

    (d)           The
Company agrees to use, and to cause the Group Companies to use, reasonable
efforts to provide all cooperation reasonably requested by Parent OP in
connection with the Financing (including, as applicable, any Alternate
Financing), including without limitation:  (i) providing and causing
their advisors to provide all available information reasonably deemed reasonably
necessary by Parent OP or the Lenders to complete syndication of the Financing,
including, but not limited to available financial information that is
customarily provided in such financings and is deemed necessary by Parent OP or
the Lenders for the consummation of such Financing; (ii) assisting in the
preparation and updating of the information memoranda and other materials to be
used in connection with the Financing and any related syndication efforts,
including, as applicable, participating in due diligence and drafting sessions;
(iii) cooperating in procuring any requisite rating for the Financing from an
accredited rating agency; (iv) making the officers and advisors of the Group
Companies available from time to time to attend and make presentations regarding
their respective businesses; and (v) assisting in the preparation of definitive
agreements and other certificates and documents, as may be reasonably requested
in connection with the foregoing, provided, however, that with
respect to all matters described in this Section 6.5(d) no
Group Company shall be required to execute any document or make any statements,
certifications, or analysis for the benefit of Parent REIT, Parent OP or Parent
Sub or any other Person other than documents, statements, certifications and
analyses to become effective immediately after the Closing.

    Section
6.6     Public
Announcements

     

    Parent
REIT, Parent OP and Parent Sub, on the one hand, and the Company and the
Contributors, on the other hand, have agreed upon the form and substance of the
press releases to be issued to announce the execution of this Agreement, which
shall be issued promptly following the execution and delivery
hereof.  Thereafter, Parent REIT, Parent OP and Parent Sub, on the one
hand, and the Company and the Contributors, on the other hand shall not issue
any other press release or make any other public announcement with respect to
this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions without the prior consent of the
other parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned), except as may be required by Law or by any listing agreement with
a national securities exchange, in which case the party proposing to issue such
press release or make such public announcement shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to consult in good faith with the other parties before making
any such public announcements by providing the other parties with a copy of the
proposed press release or public announcement reasonably in advance of such
release or announcement.

     

    Section
6.7     Indemnification

     

    (a)           Parent
REIT, Parent OP and Parent Sub agree that all rights to indemnification or
exculpation now existing in favor of any directors and officers of any Group
Company (collectively, the “Exculpated Parties”),
as provided in such Group Company’s Governing Documents and indemnification or
similar agreement disclosed in the Company Schedules with respect to any matters
occurring prior to the Closing, shall survive the Closing and shall continue in
full force and effect for a period of six (6) years from and after the
Closing.

     

    (b)           Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent OP agrees that the
indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions of the
Governing Documents of the Group Companies shall not be amended, repealed or
otherwise modified at or after the Closing in any manner that would adversely
affect the rights thereunder of any Exculpated Party, except to the extent such
modification is required by applicable Law.  In the event that any
Group Company or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or
merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving Person
of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or
substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each
such case, Parent OP shall cause proper provision to be made so that the
successors or assigns of such Group Company shall succeed to the obligations set
forth in this Section 6.7.

     

    (c)           The
directors and officers of each Group Company entitled to the indemnification,
liability limitation and exculpation set forth in this Section 6.7 are
intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section
6.7.  This Section 6.7 shall
survive the Closing and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Parent
REIT, Parent OP and Parent Sub.

    Section
6.8     Documents and
Information

     

    (a)           If,
after the Closing, a Contributor shall determine that it, or one of its
Affiliates, has an original or a copy of the books, records (whether in paper or
electronic form) of the Group Companies, such Contributor shall promptly deliver
such original or copy of the books and records, and will not retain any copies
thereof except to the extent required by applicable Law.

     

    (b)           After
the Closing, Parent OP and Parent Sub shall, until the seventh (7th)
anniversary of the Closing Date, retain all books, records and other documents
pertaining to the business of the Group Companies in existence on the Closing
Date and to make the same available for inspection and copying by the
Representative during normal business hours upon reasonable request and upon
reasonable notice and at the Representative’s expense, subject to entry into a
customary confidentiality agreement.  No such books, records or
documents shall be destroyed after the seventh (7th)
anniversary of the Closing Date by Parent REIT, Parent OP, Parent Sub or any of
their respective Subsidiaries, without first advising the Representative in
writing and giving the Representative a reasonable opportunity to obtain
possession thereof at Representative’s expense, subject to entry into a
customary confidentiality agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing,
Parent REIT, Parent OP and Parent Sub shall (and shall cause their Subsidiaries
to) retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other
documents in its possession (or in the possession of their Affiliates) relating
to Tax matters relevant to the business of the Group Companies for each taxable
period first ending after the Closing and for all prior taxable periods until
the later of:  (a) the expiration of the statute of limitations of the
taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate; and (b)
six (6) years following the due date (with extension) for such Tax
Returns.

     

    (c)           Within
five (5) days after the end of each calendar month prior to the Closing, the
Company will provide Parent OP with an updated true, correct and complete set of
tenant arrearage schedules for the Group Companies.

     

    Section
6.9     Contact with Customers,
Suppliers and Other Business Relations

     

    Parent
REIT and Parent OP (and their employees, agents, representatives and Affiliates)
shall be permitted to discuss the Contemplated Transactions with any tenant or
supplier of any Group Company and other third parties with whom any of the Group
Companies may do business; provided, that Parent
OP shall provide the Representative, on at least a bi-weekly basis, and more
frequently if reasonably requested by the Representative, with reports (which
may be oral) of any material issues raised by any such tenants with respect to
the Group Companies, suppliers or third parties.  The Company
acknowledges that representatives of Parent REIT and Parent OP shall be spending
significant time at the premises of the Group Companies and shall be introducing
and engaging in discussions with Employees of the Group Companies with respect
to various matters, including the Contemplated Transactions, job status and the
business of the Group Companies.  In the event the Closing does not
occur, for a period of three (3) years following the termination of this
Agreement, the Parent Parties shall not use the information obtained as a result
of the discussions and contacts described in this Section 6.9 to
compete with or in a manner reasonably expected to harm the Group
Companies.

    Section
6.10     Employee Benefit
Matters

     

    (a)           For
one year after the Closing Date, Parent REIT and Parent OP shall, or shall cause
their Subsidiaries to, provide each Retained Property Employee and Retained
Management Employee with a base salary or base wages and pension and health
benefits (other than retention, sale, stay, special bonuses or other change of
control payments or awards) that are, in the aggregate, either, at the option of
Parent REIT and Parent OP, (A) no less favorable to each Retained Property
Employee and Retained Management Employee than the base salary or base wages and
pension and health benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Parent
REIT and Parent OP, or (B) in the aggregate no less favorable to each Retained
Property Employee and Retained Management Employee than the base salary or base
wages and pension and health benefits provided to such Retained Property
Employees and Retained Management Employees immediately prior to the Closing, in
either case to be determined for each Retained Property Employee and Retained
Management Employee in the sole discretion of Parent REIT and Parent
OP.

     

    (b)           For
all purposes under the employee benefit plans of Parent REIT and Parent OP and
their Subsidiaries after the Closing Date, Parent REIT and Parent OP shall, and
shall cause their Subsidiaries to, credit service for eligibility and vesting
(but not benefit accrual) rendered by Retained Property Employees and Retained
Management Employees prior to the Closing Date for purposes of pension and
health benefits under employee benefit plans, programs, policies and
arrangements of Parent REIT and Parent OP and their Subsidiaries from and after
the Closing Date, to the same extent as such service was taken into account
under the corresponding plans of the Group Companies for such purposes (except
to the extent such credit would result in a duplication of accrual of
benefits).  Without limiting the foregoing, Parent OP shall use its
reasonable efforts to cause Retained Property Employees and Retained Management
Employees to be immediately eligible to participate, without waiting time and to
waive any pre-existing condition limitations otherwise applicable to Retained
Property Employees and Retained Management Employees and their eligible
dependents under any health or welfare plan of Parent REIT, Parent OP or their
Subsidiaries for any condition for which such Retained Property Employee and
Retained Management Employee would have been entitled to coverage under the
corresponding plans of the Group Companies in which such Retained Property
Employees and Retained Management Employees participated immediately prior to
the Closing.  Parent REIT and Parent OP shall, and shall use
reasonable efforts to cause, such current Retained Property Employees and
Retained Management Employees to be given credit under such plans for
co-payments made, and deductibles satisfied, prior to the Closing
Date.

     

    (c)           Prior
to Closing, the Company shall, and shall cause each Group Company, to take such
actions as are necessary to ensure that no Group Company shall be the
administrator of the Lightstone Group, LLC 401(k) Plan or the sponsor of, or
participating employer in, any Employee Benefit Plan (including such plans
listed on Schedule
3.10(a)) from and after Closing.

     

    (d)           No
provision of this Section 6.10 shall
create any third party beneficiary or other rights in any Employee (including
any dependent or beneficiary thereof).  Parent REIT and Parent OP and
their Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall have the right in their sole discretion
to amend, modify, terminate or adjust benefit levels under any and all employee
benefit plans and arrangements covering the Employees after the Closing Date,
subject to this Section
6.10.  No provision of this Section 6.10, or any
other provision of this Agreement, is intended to modify, amend or create any
employee benefit plan or arrangement of Parent REIT, Parent OP or any of the
Group Companies for purposes of ERISA or otherwise.

    (e)           (i)
Within thirty (30) days of the date hereof (or within forty five (45) days of
the date hereof with respect to 2009 compensation), the Group Companies shall
provide to Parent REIT and Parent OP a true and correct list of the following
information with respect to each Employee: their title and respective salaries,
wages, bonuses (and other material compensation and benefits to the extent not
otherwise made available to substantially all Employees) paid or payable during
2008 and 2009, date of hire, the date and amount of the last salary increase and
whether any such Employee is on short-term disability, long-term disability,
leave of absence or layoff. (ii) Within the later of five (5) days after
delivery of the information described in Section 6.10(e)(i)
and January 31, 2010, Parent REIT and Parent OP may, if practicable, provide the
Company with a list of positions of Property Employees at each property and
Management Employees it desires to retain and the number of persons required for
each position.  As soon as possible following delivery of the
information described in Section 6.10(e)(i),
but in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, the Company will
permit persons designated by Parent REIT and Parent OP to interview any and all
(x) Management Employees so that Parent REIT and Parent OP can determine those
Management Employees to be hired by and transferred to the Group Companies (or
retained by Prime Manager if Prime Manager is a Group Company) at the Closing
(the “Retained
Management Employees”), and (y) Property Employees so that Parent REIT
and Parent OP can determine those Property Employees to be retained (the “Retained Property
Employees”); provided, that such
interview process shall be effected with the least amount of interference with
the operation of the business of the Group Companies and Prime Manager as
practicable, as reasonably determined by the parties acting in good
faith.  Parent REIT and Parent OP shall provide the Company with a
list of any designed Retained Management Employees (to whom offers of employment
will be made effective at the Closing if Prime Manager is not a Group Company)
and Retained Property Employees as soon as practicable but no later than 75 days
following the date hereof.  The Company shall, and shall cause each
Group Company (including Prime Manager if it is a Group Company), to terminate
the employment of all Employees other than the Retained Management Employees and
the Retained Property Employees prior to the Closing.  With respect to
each Employee terminated prior to the Closing, the Company shall, and shall
cause each Group Company, to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
releases from each terminated Employee, in a form approved by Parent REIT and
Parent OP, in which each Employee releases all claims against the Company and
the Group Companies with respect to such termination; provided that none of
the Group Companies or their Affiliates shall be required to incur any
liability, commence or threaten to commence any litigation, offer any cash or
other pecuniary consideration or grant any accommodation (financial or
otherwise) to any such Employee to secure such release other than as is required
pursuant to any Employee Agreement or Employee Benefit Plan.

     

    (f)           With
respect to all Employees of the Group Companies or Prime Manager other than
Retained Management Employees and Retained Property Employees, Parent REIT and
Parent OP shall not be responsible for any notices required to be given or
otherwise to comply with WARN with respect to any plant closing or mass layoff
(or similar triggering event) caused by the Group Companies or Prime Manager
prior to the Closing, and Parent REIT and Parent OP shall have no responsibility
or liability under WARN with respect to such Employees except to the extent that
any notice requirement or other liabilities under WARN are triggered in respect
of such Employees as a result of the termination of employment following the
Closing of one or more Retained Management Employees or Retained Property
Employees.

    Section
6.11     Notification

     

    The
Company shall give notice to Parent REIT if, to the Company’s knowledge, any of
the Company’s representations, warranties or covenants herein are breached in a
manner that would give rise to a claim by the Parent Indemnitees pursuant to
Article 10
(subject to Section
10.4(b) and Section 12.15); provided, however, that, except
as otherwise provided herein, the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.11 shall
not limit or otherwise affect the representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties
under this Agreement.

     

    Section
6.12     Transactions in Parent
Common Stock

     

    From the
date hereof until the earlier of termination of this Agreement in accordance
with its terms and the Closing, no Contributor shall knowingly, directly or
indirectly, (i) purchase or sell any shares of Parent Common Stock, (ii) engage
in any hedging, short-sale, derivative or other transaction based upon the
value, or intended to hedge the risk of ownership, of shares of Parent Common
Stock, provided
that this clause (ii) shall not apply until ten (10) days prior to the period of
time for the determination of the Parent Closing Price has begun, or (iii) enter
into any transaction with the intent to cause, or which would otherwise
reasonably be expected to result in, a decline in the trading price of the
Parent Common Stock.

     

    Section
6.13     Exclusivity

     

    (a)           During
the period commencing on the date hereof through the earlier to occur of the
Closing and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the
Contributors and LVP REIT shall not, and shall cause the Group Companies and
each of their respective directors, officers and representatives not to,
directly or indirectly, (x) knowingly initiate, solicit, discuss, negotiate,
provide non-public information with respect to, or respond affirmatively to any
inquiries, proposals or offers (whether initiated by them or otherwise), from
any Person other than the Parent Parties and their Affiliates and
representatives (a “Third Party Bidder”),
with respect to any transaction, however structured, resulting in or relating to
the acquisition by such Third Party Bidder of all or substantially all of the
equity interests or assets of the Group Companies or any individual mall or
development project (a “Potential
Transaction”) or (y) enter into any contract, agreement or arrangement
with any Third Party Bidder to consummate a Potential Transaction; provided, that “Potential
Transaction” shall not include, and this Section 6.13(a) shall
not apply to, any inquiry, proposal or offer to acquire, whether by merger,
purchase of assets, equity interests or other securities, tender offer or
otherwise, all or substantially all of the capital stock or consolidated assets
of LVP REIT (a “Permitted
Transaction”), but LVP REIT may only enter into an agreement with respect
thereto to the extent that the entry into any such transaction would not require
or otherwise provide for the sale of the Company Interests owned by the
Contributors other than the LVP Parties or prevent or materially impair the
ability of the Contributors, the Company and the Group Companies to complete the
Contemplated Transactions.  The Contributors shall, and shall cause
the Group Companies to, immediately terminate any existing discussions with
respect to any Potential Transaction and request that all confidential
information relating to any of the Group Companies provided to any Third Party
Bidder in connection with a Potential Transaction be promptly returned or
destroyed.

    (b)           LVP
REIT shall not provide any non-public information with respect to the Group
Companies (the “Group
Company Information”) to any Third Party Bidder in connection with the
pursuit of a Permitted Transaction before March 1, 2010.  On or after
March 1, 2010, LVP REIT may provide Group Company Information in connection with
the pursuit of a Permitted Transaction to a Person that executes a
confidentiality agreement with terms that are in the aggregate no less favorable
to LVP REIT (other than with respect to any standstill and non-solicitation
provisions) than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that all
such Group Company Information (to the extent that such information has not been
previously provided or made available to Parent REIT) is concurrently made
available to Parent REIT.  LVP REIT shall not waive any of its rights
under any such confidentiality agreement with respect to Group Company
Information and shall take all reasonable steps to enforce all of its rights
with respect to Group Company Information under any such confidentiality
agreement to the extent it becomes aware of any breach thereof in respect of
Group Company Information.

     

    (c)           Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.13 shall
prohibit the Contributors, LVP REIT or the Group Companies, or any of their
respective directors, officers and representatives, from (i) discussing the
Contemplated Transactions with any equity holders of the Group Companies, the
Contributors, LVP REIT or any of their respective subsidiaries, or with any
lender (subject to Section 6.4(a)),
servicer (subjection to Section 6.4(a)),
landlord, employee, tenant or prospective tenant of the Group Companies, the
Contributors, LVP REIT or any of their respective subsidiaries, (ii) providing
non-public information to its tenants and others with whom the Group Companies
do business in the ordinary course of business, (iii) making any communications
designed to inform a Third Party Bidder that such Person is not permitted to
engage in any discussions regarding a Potential Transaction or (iv) taking any
other action to the extent expressly permitted by this Agreement.

Contributors shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates not to: (a) establish
or create any corporation, partnership, joint venture or other business entity
or enterprise that uses as, or incorporates as part of, its legal or trade name
any Prime Retail Mark or (b) seek any registration of any trademark, copyright,
domain name or analogous right, that incorporates, or is identical or
confusingly similar to, any Prime Retail Mark or (c) use any Prime Retail Mark
in connection with the operation of any outlets or shopping
malls.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as granting to
any party any license to the Prime Retail Marks.

     

    Section
6.15     Parent OP
Agreement

     

    From and
after the date hereof, neither Parent REIT nor Parent OP shall amend the Parent
OP Agreement in a manner that would adversely and disproportionately affect the
rights of the Contributors with respect to the Parent OP Common Units to be
issued to the Contributors hereunder (assuming for this purpose that such Parent
OP Common Units have been issued to the Contributors as of the date hereof),
whether held by the New Company or received upon conversion or exchange of New
Company Common Units.

    Section
6.16     LVP REIT; LVP
OP

     

    If, as of
the Closing, a claim has been asserted against LVP REIT, LVP OP or a Group
Company for any breach of a Tax Protection Agreement, then until the earlier of
(a) the date such claim has been finally settled or resolved pursuant to a
non-appealable final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (whether
before, at or after the Closing Date) and (b) the date on which LVP REIT
commences its liquidation in accordance with its charter and
by-laws,  LVP REIT will not make any distributions to its shareholders
other than (i) in the ordinary course consistent with past practice, (ii) to the
extent required to avoid the imposition of Tax under Section 857(b) of the Code,
and  (iii) to avoid the imposition of Tax under Section 4981 of the
Code.

    CERTAIN
AFFILIATE MATTERS

     

    Section
7.1       Termination of
Agreements;
Resignations of Affiliates

     

    (a)           At
the Closing, and without any further action on the part of any party hereto and
without payment of any additional consideration, all rights and obligations of
any Group Company arising under or in connection with the agreements set
forth on Schedule
7.1 (the “Terminated
Agreements”) shall be terminated in full and without any further
liability of any Person thereunder at or after the Closing.  Prior to
the Closing, the Company shall, and shall cause each Group Company to, take all
action required to effect the foregoing in a manner reasonably satisfactory to
Parent REIT and Parent OP and shall deliver evidence of the termination of the
Terminated Agreements effective on the Closing Date as of no later than the
third (3) Business Day prior to the Closing in accordance with the preceding
sentence.

     

    (b)           Prior
to Closing, the Parent Parties and the Company shall cooperate in good faith to
evaluate the ability of Prime Manager to transfer, without payment of any
additional consideration, all of the assets (other than Contracts to manage
properties owned by Persons other than the Group Companies), including all of
the books and records (including computer files, retrieval programs and similar
documentation), relating to any of the Group Companies, or their properties, of
Prime Manager to the Company and the ability of the Company to transfer Prime
Manager to an entity that is not a Group Company. If the parties hereto mutually
agree in good faith to such reorganization without payment of any additional
consideration, the parties shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to
reflect such mutually-agreed restructuring, including by revising Schedule
7.1.

     

    (c)           At
the Closing, and without any further action on the part of any party hereto and
without payment of any additional consideration, Lightstone Prime shall resign,
effective as of no later than immediately prior to the Closing, as the general
manager of the Company and as the general manager or general partner of any
other Group Company for which it acts as managing member.

    (d)           At
the Closing, each of the Company, Mill Run, Ewell and Barceloneta shall, if
requested by Parent REIT, amend its Governing Documents in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to Parent REIT in order to (i) enable the acquirers of the
Contributed Interests pursuant to this Agreement and the LP Purchase Agreement
to automatically become substitute members or substitute limited partners, as
applicable, and (ii) replace the manager, managing member or general partner of
each Group Company with a Person designated by Parent REIT, in each case
immediately upon consummation of the Contemplated Transactions and without the
application of any waiting period.

     

    Section
7.2       Release

     

    (a)           Effective
at and after the Closing, the Parent Parties agree that each Group Company, on
behalf of itself and its successors and assigns (the “Company Releasing
Parties”), releases, acquits and forever discharges each of the
Contributors, LVP REIT, each of their respective Affiliates which are not Group
Companies, each of their respective shareholders, members, partners, managers,
directors, officers and employees, in their capacities as such, each of the
Persons set forth on Schedule 7.2, and
each of their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Company Released
Parties”) from any and all claims, demands, damages, actions, causes of
action, rights, costs, losses, expenses, compensation or suits in equity, of
whatsoever kind or nature, in contract or in tort, that such Company Releasing
Party might have (i) because of anything done, omitted, suffered or allowed to
be done by such Company Released Parties prior to or at the Closing, or (ii) in
connection with or by reason of the Governing Documents of such Group Companies,
in each case whether heretofore or hereafter accruing, whether foreseen or
unforeseen or whether known or unknown to the parties, including without
limitation, any claim for indemnification, contribution or other relief (“Company Released
Matters”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall
not constitute Company Released Matters: (A) in the case of any Company Released
Party that is a party to any Tax Protection Agreement with a Group Company, any
claims arising thereunder (except to the extent expressly set forth in the Tax
Matters Agreements), (B) any claims under the Tax Matters Agreements, (C) any
claim insofar as it is made to negate, limit or otherwise dispute any asserted
right to indemnification which a Company Released Party has asserted under
applicable Law, the Governing Documents of such Group Company or Section 6.7
hereof and (D) claims against any Contributor for Fraud.  Effective at and
after the Closing, each of the Parent Parties agrees that no Company Releasing
Party will commence, aid or participate in a manner adverse to any Company
Released Party in any legal action or other proceeding based in whole or in part
upon any Company Released Matters.  The Parent Parties acknowledge
that this release shall apply to all unknown or unanticipated results of any
action of any Company Released Party, as well as those known and
anticipated.  The Parent Parties have provided the release in this
Section 7.2(a)
voluntarily, with the intention of fully and finally extinguishing all Company
Released Matters.  Effective at and after the Closing, the Parent Parties
acknowledge and agree that no Company Releasing Party shall, directly or
indirectly, make any claim related to the Company Released Matters against any
person that has a right to seek indemnification, contribution or other relief
for such claim from any Company Released Party.  If a Company Releasing
Party makes such a claim and a Company Released Party notifies the Company
Releasing Party of such obligation, Parent OP shall cause the Company Releasing
Party to promptly, but no later than three (3) Business Days following such
notice, withdraw all such claims with prejudice and enter into a release thereof
in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company Released Party. The
release contained in this Section 7.2(a) shall
also be deemed to be a covenant not to sue. Any breach of this covenant by a
Company Releasing Party not to sue shall be deemed a breach of this Section
7.2(a)

    (b)           Effective
at and after the Closing, each Contributor and LVP REIT, on behalf of itself and
its successors and assigns (the “Contributor Releasing
Parties”), releases, acquits and forever discharges each of the Group
Companies, each of the other Contributors, and each of their respective
Affiliates (other than the Parent Parties), shareholders, members, partners,
managers, directors, officers and employees, in their capacities as such, and
each of their respective successors and assigns (but excluding, in each case,
any of the foregoing of the Parent Parties) (collectively, the “Contributor Released
Parties”) from any and all claims, demands, damages, actions, causes of
action, rights, costs, losses, expenses, compensation or suits in equity, of
whatsoever kind or nature, in contract or in tort, that such Contributor
Releasing Party might have (i) because of anything done, omitted, suffered or
allowed to be done by such Contributor Released Parties prior to or at the
Closing, or (ii) in connection with or by reason of the Governing Documents of
such Group Companies, in each case whether heretofore or hereafter accruing,
whether foreseen or unforeseen or whether known or unknown to the parties,
including without limitation, any claim for indemnification, contribution or
other relief (“Contributor Released
Matters”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not
constitute Contributor Released Matters: (A) in the case of any Contributor
Released Party that is a party to any Tax Protection Agreement with a
Contributor Releasing Party, any claims arising thereunder (except to the extent
expressly set forth in the Tax Matters Agreements), (B) any claims against a
Parent Party under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including
the Tax Matters Agreements, (C) any claim but only insofar as it is made to
negate, limit or otherwise dispute any asserted right to indemnification which a
Contributor Released Party has asserted under applicable Law, the Governing
Documents of such Group Company and (D) claims against a party hereto for actual
and intentional fraud.  Effective at and after the Closing, each
Contributor Releasing Party further agrees never to commence, aid or participate
in a manner adverse to any Contributor Released Party in any legal action or
other proceeding based in whole or in part upon any Contributor Released
Matters.  Each Contributor and LVP REIT acknowledges that this release
shall apply to all unknown or unanticipated results of any action of any
Contributor Released Party, as well as those known and anticipated.  Each
Contributor and LVP REIT has provided the release in this Section 7.2(b)
voluntarily, with the intention of fully and finally extinguishing all
Contributor Released Matters.  Effective at and after the Closing,
each Contributor and LVP REIT acknowledges and agrees that such Contributor
Releasing Party shall not, directly or indirectly, make any claim related to the
Contributor Released Matters against any person that has a right to seek
indemnification, contribution or other relief for such claim from any
Contributor Released Party.  If a Contributor Releasing Party makes
such a claim and a Contributor Released Party notifies the Contributor Releasing
Party of such obligation, the Contributor Releasing Party shall promptly, but no
later than three (3) Business Days following such notice, withdraw all such
claims with prejudice and enter into a release thereof in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to the Contributor Released Party. The release contained
in this Section
7.2(b) shall also be deemed to be a covenant not to sue. Any breach of
this covenant by a Company Releasing Party not to sue shall be deemed a breach
of this Section
7.2(b).

    (c)           California Civil Code

Contributor Releasing Party acknowledges that it may discover facts or law
different from, or in addition to, the facts or law that it knows or believes to
be true with respect to the claims released in this Section 7.2 and
agrees, nonetheless, that the Release contained in this Section 7.2 shall be
and remain effective in all respects notwithstanding such different or
additional facts or the discovery of them. Each of the Parent Parties and
each Contributor Releasing Party expressly acknowledges and agrees that all
rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code are expressly
waived.  That section provides:

     

    A GENERAL
RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO
EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM
MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

    Section
10.3     Indemnification
Procedures

     

    (a)           If
a claim, action, suit or proceeding by a Person who is not a party hereto or an
Affiliate thereof (a “Third Party Claim”)
is made against any Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2 hereof
(an “Indemnified Party”),
and if such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto
under this Article
10, or if any Indemnified Party otherwise determines that it wishes to
seek indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2 hereof,
such Indemnified Party shall, in the case of a Member Indemnitee, promptly
notify Parent REIT and Parent OP and, in the case of a Parent Indemnitee,
promptly notify the Representative (such notified party, the “Responsible Party”)
of such claims; provided, that the
failure to so notify shall not relieve the Responsible Party of its obligations
hereunder, except to the extent that the Responsible Party is actually
prejudiced thereby.  Such notice shall, to the extent reasonably
practicable, identify the basis under which indemnification is sought pursuant
to Section 10.2
and, if applicable, enclose true and correct copies of any written document
furnished to the Indemnified Party by the Person that instituted the Third Party
Claim.

     

    (b)           Parent
REIT or Parent OP shall have thirty (30) days after receiving notice from any
Indemnified Party of any Third Party Claim which seeks solely cash damages (and
does not include any request for specific performance, or injunctive or other
equitable relief) (a “Parent Assumable
Claim”) to assume the conduct and control, through counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Representative at the expense of Parent REIT or Parent OP, of
the settlement or defense of such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnified Party
shall cooperate with the Responsible Party in connection
therewith.  Parent REIT or Parent OP shall permit the Indemnified
Party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by
such Indemnified Party (the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by
such Indemnified Party and shall not be indemnified hereunder as a
Loss).  So long as Parent REIT or Parent OP is reasonably contesting
(or causing any of its Subsidiaries to reasonably contest) any such Third Party
Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle any such
Third Party Claim without the consent of Parent REIT or Parent OP (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Parent REIT and Parent OP shall not, except with the consent of the
Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed)
enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof
the giving by the Person(s) asserting such Third Party Claim to all Indemnified
Parties an unconditional release from all liability with respect to such claim
or consent to entry of any judgment.  If Parent REIT does not elect to
undertake the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall
have the right to contest the Third Party Claim without waiving its right to
indemnity therefor pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that the
Indemnified Party shall not settle any such Third Party Claim or consent to any
judgment without the prior written consent of Parent REIT or Parent OP (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

     

    
      
         


      

      
        84

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    (c)           In
the event that Parent REIT or Parent OP receives notice from any Indemnified
Party of a Third Party Claim that is not a Parent Assumable Claim, Parent REIT
or Parent OP shall have the right to participate in the settlement or defense
thereof through counsel chosen by Parent REIT or Parent OP (the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be borne by Parent REIT or Parent OP and shall
not be indemnified hereunder as a Loss) and the Indemnified Party shall not
settle any such Third Party Claim or consent to any judgment without the consent
of Parent REIT or Parent OP (not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed).

     

    (d)           The
Representative shall have thirty (30) days after receiving notice from any
Indemnified Party of any Third Party Claim which seeks solely cash damages (and
does not include any request for specific performance, or injunctive or other
equitable relief) and the maximum liability in respect of such Third Party Claim
and all other pending unresolved indemnity claims pursuant to Section 10.2(a) does
not exceed the value of the Escrow Cash and Escrow Units then held in the Escrow
Account (valued at the Parent Closing Price (a “Representative Assumable
Claim”) to assume the conduct and control, through counsel reasonably
acceptable to Parent REIT and Parent OP at the expense of the Representative
(not to be paid out of or reimbursed from the Escrow Account) of the settlement
or defense of such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate
with the Representative in connection therewith.  The Representative
shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense
through counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party (the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be borne by such Indemnified Party and shall not be indemnified
hereunder as a Loss).  So long as the Representative is reasonably
contesting (or causing any of its Subsidiaries to reasonably contest) any such
Third Party Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle
any such Third Party Claim without the consent of the Representative (not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Representative shall not, except with the consent of Parent REIT and Parent OP
enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof
the giving by the Person(s) asserting such Third Party Claim to all Indemnified
Parties an unconditional release from all liability with respect to such claim
or consent to entry of any judgment.  If the Representative does not
elect to undertake the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Parent Indemnitees
shall have the right to contest the Third Party Claim without waiving their
right to indemnity therefor pursuant to this Agreement.

     

    (e)           In
the event the Representative receives notice from any Indemnified Party of a
Third Party Claim that is not a Representative Assumable Claim, the
Representative shall have the right to participate in the settlement or defense
thereof through counsel chosen by the Representative (the fees and expenses of
such counsel shall be borne by the Representative and shall not be payable out
of the Escrow Account) and Parent Indemnitee shall not settle any such Third
Party Claim or consent to any judgment without the consent of the Representative
(not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

    (f)           Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement to the contrary, no Parent
Indemnitee shall directly or indirectly settle, compromise or consent to any
judgment of any Third Party Claim for which such Parent Indemnitee may be
entitled to seek indemnification hereunder, regardless of whether it is a
Representative Assumable Claim or whether the Representative has received notice
thereof or elected to exercise or waive its rights to assume the conduct and
control of the settlement or defense thereof, without the prior written consent
of the Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and in the
event of any such settlement, compromise or consent to judgment without the
prior written consent of the Representative, the Parent Indemnitees and their
respective Affiliates shall have no further rights (and shall be deemed to have
irrevocably waived any such rights) to indemnification hereunder, whether from
the Escrow Account or otherwise.

     

    (g)           Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement to the contrary, the
Representative shall not directly or indirectly settle, compromise or consent to
any judgment of any Third Party Claim for which the Member Indemnitee may be
entitled to seek indemnification hereunder, regardless of whether the Parent
Indemnitees have received notice thereof or elected to exercise or waive their
rights to assume the conduct and control of the settlement or defense thereof,
without the prior written consent of the Parent REIT or Parent OP (not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), and in the event of any such settlement,
compromise or consent to judgment without the prior written consent of Parent
REIT or Parent OP, the Member Indemnitees and their respective Affiliates shall
have no further rights (and shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any such
rights) to indemnification hereunder.

     

    (h)           The
parties hereto shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any
Third Party Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder and
shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such
conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be
reasonably requested in connection therewith.

in Article 3 hereof.

claims arising under, out of or related to this Agreement, the negotiation or
execution hereof, or the Contemplated Transactions, and no party hereto or any
of its respective Affiliates (including, in the case of the Parent Parties after
the Closing, the Group Companies) shall have any other entitlement, remedy or
recourse, at law or in equity, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, it being
agreed that all of such other remedies, entitlements and recourse (other than
with respect to any claim by the Parent Parties against a Contributor for the
Fraud of such Contributor) are expressly waived and released by the parties
hereto, on behalf of themselves and their respective Affiliates (including, in
the case of the Parent Parties after the Closing, the Group Companies), to the
fullest extent permitted by Law; provided, in each
case, that disputes as to financial matters referred to in Section 2.3(d)
shall be resolved solely in accordance with Section 2.3(d).

    (c)           Any
Escrow Units and Escrow Cash remaining in the Escrow Account as of the Survival
Period Termination Date (minus the maximum aggregate amount (valuing any Escrow
Units at their Parent Closing Price) which shall be retained in Escrow Units
and/or Escrow Cash in the proportion requested by the Representative, if any, of
claims asserted in accordance with this Article 10 by the
Parent Indemnitees against the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 10.2(a) that
are not fully resolved as of the Survival Period Termination Date) shall be
released to the Representative on the Survival Period Termination Date and the
Representative and Parent REIT or Parent OP shall deliver joint written
instructions instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver such Escrow Units from the
Escrow Account to the Representative for further distribution to the
Contributors.  To the extent that, as a result of resolution of
pending claims, the value of the Escrow Units and Escrow Cash held in the Escrow
Account (valued at the Parent Closing Price) exceeds, at any time following the
Survival Period Termination Date, the aggregate amount of claims then
outstanding by the Parent Indemnitees against the Escrow Account pursuant to
Section
10.2(a), such excess Escrow Units and/or Escrow Cash (at the
Representative’s election) shall be promptly released to the Representative for
further distribution to the Contributors.

     

    (d)           During
the period in which the Escrow Units and Escrow Cash are retained in the Escrow
Account, the Escrow Units and Escrow Cash will be held for the benefit of the
applicable Contributors (and the applicable Contributors shall be entitled to
vote and to receive, and the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver to the
Representative for further distribution to the Contributors, all cash dividends
and cash distributions on such Escrow Units and all interest on such Escrow
Cash, which dividends and interest shall be income of the applicable
Contributors for Tax purposes), except to the extent it has been finally
determined that any Parent Indemnitee is entitled to recover such Escrow Units
in respect of indemnification claims pursuant to this Article
10.  Any distributions on such Escrow Units made in the form of
Parent OP Common Units will be deemed to have been contributed by the Escrow
Agent, on behalf of each applicable Contributor, to New Company in exchange for
an equal number of New Company Common Units to be issued in the name of such
Contributor.

     

    (e)           The
Representative and Parent OP shall deliver joint written instructions to the
Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to make all deliveries of Escrow Units
and Escrow Cash from the Escrow Account expressly provided for herein and the
Escrow Agreement.  In the event the Representative and Parent OP shall
have instructed the Escrow Agent to deliver any Escrow Units or Escrow Cash to a
Parent Indemnitee pursuant to the first sentence of Section 10.7(b) or
any Escrow Cash pursuant Section 2.3(e)(ii),
such Escrow Units and Escrow Cash shall be allocated by the Escrow Agent among
the Escrow Units and Escrow Cash of the Contributors in proportion to their
respective Applicable Percentage Interest as set forth on Annex D.

     

    (f)           The
parties hereto agree that for Tax purposes: (i) the Contributors shall be
treated as the owner of the Escrow Units and Escrow Cash, (ii) the initial
amount distributed to the Contributors in consideration of the Contributions
shall include the Escrow Units and Escrow Cash, and (iii) the return to Parent
Indemnitees of Escrow Units and/or Escrow Cash upon settlement of claims in
accordance with Article 10 shall be
treated as a reduction to the amount distributed to the Contributors in
consideration of the Contributions.

provided for herein or therein (including, without limitation, in connection
with any and all claims asserted in accordance with the terms of this Article 10), and to

understood that the Representative shall not have any obligation to take any

actions;

    (v)         to
refrain from enforcing any right of any Contributors, LVP REIT and/or the
Representative arising out of or under or in any manner relating to this
Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document
in connection with the foregoing; provided, however, that no such
failure to act on the part of the Representative, except as otherwise provided
in this Agreement or in the Escrow Agreement, shall be deemed a waiver of any
such right or interest by the Representative or by such Contributors or LVP REIT
unless such waiver is in writing signed by the waiving Contributors, LVP REIT or
by the Representative (it being understood that no Contributor or LVP REIT shall
have any right to directly assert any claim against the Representative);
and

     

    (vi)        to
make, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such other agreements, guarantees,
orders, receipts, endorsements, notices, requests, instructions, certificates,
unit powers, letters and other writings, and, in general, to do any and all
things and to take any and all action that the Representative, in its sole and
absolute discretion, may consider necessary or proper or convenient in
connection with or to carry out the Contemplated Transactions, the Escrow
Agreement, and all other agreements, documents or instruments referred to herein
or therein or executed in connection herewith and therewith.

     

    (b)          The
Representative shall not be entitled to any fee, commission or other
compensation for the performance of its services hereunder.  In
connection with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any instrument,
agreement or document relating hereto or thereto, and in exercising or failing
to exercise all or any of the powers conferred upon the Representative hereunder
(i) the Representative and the Parent Indemnitees shall incur no
responsibility whatsoever to any Contributor or LVP REIT by reason of any error
in judgment or other act or omission performed or omitted hereunder or in
connection with the Escrow Agreement or any such other agreement, instrument or
document by the Representative, excepting only (in the case of the
Representative only) responsibility for any act or failure to act by the
Representative which represents bad faith or willful misconduct and
(ii) the Representative shall be entitled to rely on the advice of counsel,
public accountants or other independent experts experienced in the matter at
issue, and any error in judgment or other act or omission of the Representative
pursuant to such advice shall in no event subject the Representative to
liability to any Contributor or LVP REIT, except where such reliance is in bad
faith or is a result of the Representative’s willful misconduct.  Each
Contributor and LVP REIT shall indemnify, pro rata based upon such Contributor’s
Applicable Percentage Interest (or in the case of LVP REIT, the combined
Applicable Percentage Interest of LVP OP and Pro-DFJV), the Representative
against all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, obligations, costs and
expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and
other experts’ fees and the amount of any judgment against them, of any nature
whatsoever (including, without limitation, any and all expenses whatsoever
reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any
litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claims whatsoever), arising out of
or in connection with any claim, investigation, challenge, action or proceeding
or in connection with any appeal thereof, relating to the acts or omissions of
the Representative hereunder, or under the Escrow Agreement or otherwise in its
capacity as the Representative.  The foregoing indemnification shall
not apply in the event of any action or proceeding which finally adjudicates the
liability of the Representative hereunder for its willful
misconduct.  In the event of any indemnification under this clause
(b), upon written notice from the Representative to the Contributor or LVP REIT
as to the existence of a deficiency toward the payment of any such
indemnification amount, each Contributor and LVP REIT shall promptly deliver to
the Representative full payment of its, his or her ratable share of the amount
of such deficiency, in accordance with such Contributor’s Applicable Percentage
Interest (or in the case of LVP REIT, the combined Applicable Percentage
Interest of LVP OP and Pro-DFJV).

of the indemnities, immunities and powers granted to the Representative under
this Agreement shall survive the Closing and/or any termination of this
Agreement and/or the Escrow Agreement.

     

    (d)           Parent
REIT, Parent OP and Parent Sub shall have the right to rely upon all actions
taken or omitted to be taken by the Representative pursuant to this Agreement
and the Escrow Agreement, all of which actions or omissions shall be legally
binding upon the Contributors.

     

    (e)           The
grant of authority provided for herein (i) is coupled with an interest and
shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or
liquidation of any Contributor or LVP REIT, and (ii) shall survive the
consummation of the Closing.

the written request of any Contributor or LVP REIT, the Representative shall
provide such Contributor or LVP REIT with an accounting of all monies received
and distributed by the Representative, in its capacity as the Representative,
and shall provide such Contributor or LVP REIT with such other reasonable
information regarding the Representative’s actions, in its capacity as the
Representative, as such Contributor or LVP REIT may reasonably
request.

    MISCELLANEOUS

     

    Section
12.1     Entire Agreement;
Assignment

     

    (a)           This
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents contain the entire agreement of
the parties hereto respecting the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior
agreements among the parties hereto respecting the same.  The parties
hereto have voluntarily agreed to define their rights, liabilities and
obligations respecting the subject matter hereof exclusively in contract
pursuant to the express terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents and the parties hereto expressly disclaim that they are
owed any duties or are entitled to any remedies not expressly set forth in this
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.  Furthermore, the
parties hereto each hereby acknowledge that this Agreement embodies the
justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arm’s-length
negotiations; all parties to this Agreement specifically acknowledge that no
party has any special relationship with another party that would justify any
expectation beyond that of ordinary parties in an arm’s-length
transaction.  .  The sole and exclusive remedies for any
breach of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents (including any representations and warranties set forth herein or the
other Transaction Documents, made in connection herewith or the other
Transaction Documents or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement or the
other Transaction Documents) or any claim or cause of action otherwise arising
out of or related to the Contemplated Transactions shall be those remedies
available at law or in equity for breach of contract only (as such contractual
remedies have been further limited or excluded pursuant to the express terms of
this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents); and each party hereto hereby
agrees that no party hereto shall have any remedies or cause of action (whether
in contract or in tort) for any statements, communications, disclosures,
failures to disclose, representations or warranties not set forth in this
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
claims by any Parent Party against any Contributor, to the extent arising from
the Fraud of such Contributor, shall not be prohibited by this Section
12.1(a).

     

    (b)           This
Agreement may not be assigned by any party (whether by operation of law or
otherwise) without the prior written consent of Parent REIT, Parent OP, the
Company and the Representative.  Any attempted assignment of this
Agreement not in accordance with the terms of this Section 12.1 shall be
void; provided,
however, that,
so long as such assignment would not prevent or materially impair or delay the
Closing of the Contemplated Transactions, Parent REIT, Parent OP or Parent Sub
may assign this Agreement and any of their rights under this Agreement to one or
more Affiliates of Parent REIT, Parent OP or Parent Sub, provided that any such
assignment shall not relieve Parent REIT, Parent OP or Parent Sub of any of
their obligations hereunder.

cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or
warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to
enter into this Agreement), (ii) agrees that all such claims in respect of such
action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in any such court and (iii)
agrees not to bring any such action or proceeding in any other

hereto with respect thereto.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that
service of summons and complaint or any other process that might be served in
any action or proceeding may be made on such party by sending or delivering a
copy of the process to the party to be served at the address of the party and in
the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section

    Section
12.14  Waiver of
Conflicts

     

    Recognizing
that Paul Weiss has acted as legal counsel to the Representative and its
Affiliates, and has acted as legal counsel to the Group Companies prior to the
Closing, and that Paul Weiss intends to act as legal counsel to the
Representative and its Affiliates after the Closing, each of Parent REIT, Parent
OP, Parent Sub and the Company hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to
cause its Affiliates to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with
Paul Weiss representing the Representative and its Affiliates (or any of the
other Contributors) after the Closing as such representation may relate to
Parent REIT, Parent OP, Parent Sub, any Group Company or the Contemplated
Transactions.

    Section
12.15  Limitation on
Damages;
Remedies

     

    (a)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the parties shall only be
entitled to recover such costs, damages, losses and expenses as would be
reasonably foreseeable by the parties hereto in connection with any proceeding
or claim pursuant to Article 10 or
otherwise seeking damages with respect to a breach of this Agreement; provided, that in no
event shall any party be liable (directly or indirectly, including through any
recovery from the Escrow Account) for any punitive damages or damages in excess
of the actual damages of any other party.

     

    (b)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, without limiting Section 7.2(a), no
past or present director, officer, member, partner, shareholder, Affiliate,
attorney or representative of any Group Company (other than a Group Company) or
any of their respective Affiliates (including the Representative, but excluding
any Group Company) shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort),
except to the extent of the Escrow Account following the Closing, for any
obligations or liabilities of the Group Companies arising under, in connection
with or related to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or for any
claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the Contemplated Transactions,
including, without limitation, any alleged non-disclosure or misrepresentations
made by any such Persons. Each such foregoing Person is an intended third-party
beneficiary of this Section
12.16(b).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims by any Parent
Party against any Contributor, to the extent arising from the Fraud of such
Contributor, shall not be prohibited by this Section
12.15(b).

     

    (c)           The
ability of any Parent Party to assert claims for Fraud against the Contributors
with respect to representations, warranties or covenants of the Group Companies
shall not be limited by the fact that the Contributors have not provided any
representations or warranties with respect thereto and the Contributors hereby
waive any such defense.

     

    Section
12.16  Specific
Performance

     

    Prior to
Closing, each of the parties hereto (and the Representative, on behalf of the
Contributors) shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, without the
necessity of posting bond, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce
specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any
other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity.  In
furtherance thereof, each of the parties hereto hereby waives (and agrees not to
assert) (i) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at
law would be adequate, and (ii) any requirement under any Laws to post a bond or
other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

limited partnership and the “Governing Documents” of a limited liability company
are its operating agreement and certificate of formation.

than the Governing Documents of the Companies) or (d) result in the creation of
any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) upon any of such Seller’s Interests
(other than any Liens for the benefit of the Purchaser), except, in each case,

    8.3          Governing
Law.

     

    This
Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that
may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation,
execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of
action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty
made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into
this Agreement), shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware
as applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within the State
of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles or rules.

     

    8.4          Fees and
Expenses.

     

    Except as
otherwise expressly set forth in the Contribution Agreement (solely as between
Parent OP and Purchaser on the one hand, and the Companies, on the other hand),
whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, all fees
and expenses incurred in connection with such transactions and this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel, financial
advisors and accountants, shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or
expenses.

     

    8.5          Construction;
Interpretation.

     

    The term
“this Agreement” means this Interest Purchase Agreement together with all
Schedules and exhibits hereto, as the same may from time to time be amended,
modified, supplemented or restated in accordance with the terms
hereof.  The headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for
convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation
of this Agreement.  No party, nor its respective counsel, shall be
deemed the drafter of this Agreement for purposes of construing the provisions
hereof, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed according to
their fair meaning and not strictly for or against any party.  Unless
otherwise indicated to the contrary herein by the context or use thereof: (i)
the words, “herein,” “hereto,” “hereof” and words of similar import refer to
this Agreement as a whole, including, without limitation, the Schedules and
exhibits, and not to any particular section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph
or clause contained in this Agreement; (ii) masculine gender shall also include
the feminine and neutral genders, and vice versa; and (iii) words importing the
singular shall also include the plural, and vice versa.

     

    8.6          Exhibits and
Schedules.

     

    All
exhibits and Schedules, or documents expressly incorporated into this Agreement,
are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and are hereby made a part hereof as
if set out in full in this Agreement.  The inclusion of any specific
item in any Schedule is not intended to imply that such item, is or is not
material, and no party shall use the fact of the setting of such item in any
dispute or controversy as to whether any item not described herein or included
in a Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.

     

    8.7          Parties in
Interest.

     

    This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties
and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing in this
Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other
Person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by
reason of this Agreement, except that (i) the parties described in Article VI
are express third party beneficiaries of the covenants and agreements described
in Article VI and (ii) the Representative (as defined in the Contribution
Agreement) is an express third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

    8.8          Severability.

     

    If any
term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so
long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby
are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.

     

    8.9          Counterparts; Facsimile
Signatures.

     

    This
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same
agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to
this Agreement by facsimile or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

     

    8.10         Limitation on
Damages.

     

    Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, no party shall be liable for any
consequential damages, including, without limitation, loss of revenue, income or
profits, loss in value of assets or securities, diminution in value, punitive,
special or indirect damages, relating to any breach of this
Agreement.

     

    8.11        Waiver of Jury
Trial.

     

    Each
party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any right to trial
by jury of any claim, demand, action, or cause of action (i) arising under this
Agreement or (ii) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the
dealings of the parties in respect of this Agreement or any of the transactions
related hereto, in each case, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and
whether in contract, tort, equity, or otherwise.  Each party hereby
further agrees and consents that any such claim, demand, action, or cause of
action shall be decided by court trial without a jury and that the parties may
file a copy of this Agreement with any court as written evidence of the consent
of the parties to the waiver of their right to trial by jury.

    8.12        Jurisdiction and
Venue.

     

    Each of
the parties (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal
court sitting in Delaware, in any action or proceeding (whether in contract or
tort) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the negotiation,
execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of
action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty
made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into
this Agreement), (ii) agrees that all such claims in respect of such action or
proceeding shall be heard and determined in any such court and (iii) agrees not
to bring any such action or proceeding in any other court.  Each of
the parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any
action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security
that might be required of any other party with respect thereto.  Each
party agrees that service of summons and complaint or any other process that
might be served in any action or proceeding may be made on such party by sending
or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address of
the party and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section
8.2.  Nothing in this Section 8.12, however, shall affect the right of
any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by
Law.  Each party agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment in any
action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit
on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

     

    8.13        Remedies.

     

    Except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any and all remedies expressly
conferred upon a party to this Agreement shall be cumulative with, and not
exclusive of, any other remedy contained in this Agreement, at law or in equity,
and the exercise by a party to this Agreement of any one remedy shall not
preclude the exercise by it of any other remedy.

     

    8.14        Specific
Performance.

     

    Prior to
Closing, each of the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions,
without the necessity of posting bond, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and
to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in addition
to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in
equity.  This right shall include (a) the right of any Seller to, at
its election, prior to Closing, cause Purchaser to cause the transactions
contemplated hereby to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in this Agreement and (b) the right of the Purchaser to, at its
election, prior to Closing, cause any Seller to cause the transactions
contemplated hereby to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in this Agreement.  In furtherance thereof, each party
hereby waives (and agrees not to assert) (i) any defenses in any action for
specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate and (ii) any
requirement under any Laws to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to
obtaining equitable relief.

B

     

    FORM OF GUARANTY OF
COLLECTION

     

    THIS
GUARANTY OF COLLECTION is made as of ____, 20__ (this “Agreement”) by [_______],
a  [______] (the “Guarantor”), to and for the benefit of JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Agent”), each of the Lenders (as
such term is defined in the Credit Agreement (as defined below)), and any of
their respective successors and assigns with respect to the obligations of Simon
Property Group, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Borrower”), in
respect of the Loans (as hereinafter defined), and is acknowledged by the Agent,
as representative acting on behalf of the Lenders.

     

    RECITALS:

     

    WHEREAS,
the Guarantor indirectly owns a limited partnership interest in the
Borrower;

     

    WHEREAS,
pursuant to the Credit Agreement dated December __, 2009, by
and among the Borrower, the Lenders party thereto and the Agent (the “Credit
Agreement”) and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement),
the Lenders have agreed to provide to Borrower a revolving credit facility in an
aggregate amount of  Three Billion and No 100/Dollars ($3,000,000,000)
(the “Loans”);

     

    WHEREAS,
the Lenders are prepared to make certain Loans to the Borrower for the purpose
described in Section 15.28 of the Credit Agreement (the “Section 15.28 Loan”)
which shall be accompanied by the delivery of one or more Guarantees as defined
and described in said Section 15.28; and

     

    WHEREAS,
the Guarantor will directly benefit from the Section 15.28 Loan being made to
the Borrower;

     

    NOW,
THEREFORE, as an inducement to the Lenders to make the Section 15.28 Loan to the
Borrower, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor hereby agrees as
follows:

     

    1.        Guaranty.  Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Guarantor hereby
irrevocably, unconditionally, absolutely and directly agrees to pay to the Agent
(for the benefit of the Lenders) the principal amount of the Section 15.28 Loan
(which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include any Loans to Borrower in
respect of amounts to be distributed or deposited pursuant to Sections
2.3(e)(i), 2.5, and 2.6(b) of the Contribution Agreement dated as of the date
hereof, by and among Borrower, Simon Property Group, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, Marco Capital Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company, Prime Outlets Acquisition Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company, Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., a Maryland
corporation, Guarantor, and other Contributors party thereto (the “Contribution
Agreement”)), together with interest thereon, in each case to the extent
provided for in the Loan Documents, (the “Guaranteed Obligations”); provided,
however, that the Guarantor shall have no obligation to make a payment hereunder
with respect to any other costs, fees, expenses, penalties, charges or similar
items payable by the Borrower and any other person or entity (a “Person”) that
has guaranteed any payment under the Loan Documents other than the Guarantor
(collectively, the “Borrower Parties”) in respect of the Section 15.28 Loan or
under the Credit Agreement.

     

    
      
         


      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    

    2

     

    2.        Guaranty of Collection and
Not of Payment.  Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, this Agreement is a guaranty of
collection and not of payment, and the Guarantor shall not be obligated to make
any payment hereunder until each of the following is true: (a) Borrower shall
have failed to make a payment due to the Lenders in respect of such Guaranteed
Obligations and the Section 15.28 Loan shall have been accelerated, (b) the
Lenders shall have exhausted all Lender Remedies (as defined below), and (c) the
Lenders shall have failed to collect the full amount of the Guaranteed
Obligations.  The term “Lender Remedies” shall mean all rights and
remedies at law and in equity that the Agent or the Lenders may have against any
Borrower Party, any collateral deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral
Account (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) (the “LC Collateral”)
or any other Person that has provided credit support in respect of the
applicable Guaranteed Obligations, to collect, or obtain payment of, the
Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, foreclosure or similar
proceedings, litigation and collection on all applicable insurance policies, and
termination of all commitments to advance additional funds to the Borrower under
the Loan Documents.  For the avoidance of doubt, Lender Remedies shall
not have been exhausted with respect to any LC Collateral unless and until the
value thereof has been included in Section 3(a)(y)(ii).

     

    3.        Cap.  Notwithstanding
any other term or condition of this Agreement it is agreed that Guarantor’s
maximum liability under this Agreement shall not exceed the sum of (a) the
difference between (x) the sum of $[_________]1 plus any amounts to be
received by the Guarantor pursuant to Sections 2.3(e)(i) and 2.6(b) of the
Contribution Agreement, minus (y) the sum of (i) any payments of principal made
by or on behalf of Borrower or any other Borrower Party to the Lenders (or any
one of them) in respect of the Section 15.28 Loan following an Event of Default
under the Credit Agreement, plus (ii) any amount of cash proceeds collected or
otherwise realized (including by way of set off) by or on behalf of any Lender,
pursuant to, or in connection with, the Section 15.28 Loan, including, but not
limited to, any cash proceeds collected or realized from the exercise of any
Lender Remedies (but excluding any cash payments of principal (to the extent
such payment is already included in clause (i) above), premium or interest (it
being understood that the paid premium or interest shall not be deemed to be
unpaid for purposes of clause (b) below) received from the Borrower and any
amount received as a reimbursement of expenses, indemnification payment or
fees), plus (iii) the amount of principal or accrued and unpaid interest or
accrued and unpaid premium otherwise owing by the Borrower Parties which is
affirmatively discharged, forgiven or otherwise compromised by the Agent or the
Lenders, plus (b) any unpaid premium on, or unpaid interest accruing under the
Loan Documents on, the amount described in clause (a)(x) above.  For
purposes of this Agreement, the Section 15.28 Loan will be deemed to be
outstanding and not repaid until all other Loans under the Credit Agreement have
been repaid and not reborrowed.

                The figure in brackets will equal
      the Guarantor’s proportionate share of the Special Distribution Amount (as
      defined in the Contribution
Agreement).

              


      

    


    
      
         


      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    

    3

     

    4.        Notice.  As
a condition to the enforcement of this Agreement, the Guarantor shall have
received written notice of any failure by Borrower to pay any Guaranteed
Obligations to the Lenders.  Except for the notice required under the
preceding sentence, the Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this
Agreement, demand of payment, presentment of this or any instrument, notice of
dishonor, protest and notice of protest, or other action taken in reliance
hereon and all other demands and notices of any description in connection with
this Agreement.  Subject to the last sentence of Section 2, the
Guarantor further waives and forgoes all defenses which may be available by
virtue of any valuation, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in
effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets, and all suretyship
defenses generally.

     

    5.        Absolute
Obligation. Subject
to the provisions of Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4, the obligations of the Guarantor
hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be subject to any
reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including,
without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or
compromise, and shall not be subject to any setoff, counterclaim, deduction,
diminution, abatement, suspension, reduction, recoupment or termination
whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the
Guaranteed Obligations.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, subject to the provisions of Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4, the obligations
of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be released, discharged, impaired or
otherwise affected by any circumstance or condition whatsoever (whether or not
the Borrower, any other Borrower Party, the Guarantor, the Agent or any Lender
has knowledge thereof) which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary
the risk of the Guarantor or otherwise operate as a release or discharge of the
Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in
full of all of the Guaranteed Obligations), including, without
limitation:

     

    (a)         any
amendment, modification, addition, deletion or supplement to or other change to
any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or any assignment or transfer of any
thereof, or any furnishing, acceptance, surrender, substitution, modification or
release of any security for, or guaranty of, the Guaranteed
Obligations;

     

    (b)         any
failure, omission or delay on the part of the Borrower or any other Borrower
Party to comply with any term of any of the Loan Documents;

     

    (c)         any
waiver of the payment, performance or observance of any of the obligations,
conditions, covenants or agreements contained in the Loan Documents or any of
them or any delay on the part of the Agent or the Lenders to enforce, assert or
exercise any right, power or remedy conferred on the Agent or the Lenders in the
Loan Documents;

     

    (d)         any
extension of the time for payment of the principal of or premium (if any) or
interest on any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or of the time for performance of
any other obligations, covenants or agreements under or arising out of the Loan
Documents or any of them, or the extension or the renewal thereof;

     

    
      
         


      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    

    4

     

    (e)         to
the extent permitted by applicable law, any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, arrangement, adjustment, readjustment,
composition, assignment for the benefit of creditors, receivership,
conservatorship, custodianship, liquidation, marshaling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings with respect to the Borrower, any other
Borrower Party or the Guarantor or any other Person or any of their respective
properties or creditors, or any action taken by any trustee or receiver or by
any court in any such proceeding (including, without limitation, any automatic
stay incident to any such proceeding);

     

    (f)          any
limitation, invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability, in whole or in part,
limiting the liability or obligation of the Borrower or any other Borrower Party
or any security therefor or guarantee thereof or the Agent’s or the Lenders’
recourse to any such security or limiting the Agent’s or the Lenders’ right to a
deficiency judgment against the Borrower, any other Borrower Party, the
Guarantor or any other Person; and

     

    (g)         any
other act, omission, occurrence, circumstance, happening or event whatsoever,
whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, whether foreseen or unforeseen,
and any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
defense, release or discharge (including the release or discharge of the
liabilities of a guarantor or surety or which might otherwise limit recourse
against the Borrower, any other Borrower Party, the Guarantor or any other
Person, whether or not the Borrower, any other Borrower Party, the Guarantor,
the Agent or any Lender shall have notice or knowledge of the
foregoing).

     

    6.        Subrogation.  To
the extent that the Guarantor shall have made any payments under this Agreement,
the Guarantor shall be subrogated to, and shall acquire, all rights of the
Lenders against the Borrower Parties and the LC Collateral with respect to such
payments, including without limitation, (a) all rights of subrogation,
reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification, and (b) all rights
to participate in any claim or remedy of any Lender or any trustee on behalf of
any Lender against any Borrower Party or the LC Collateral, in each case,
whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract,
statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or
receive from the Borrower Parties, directly or indirectly, in cash or other
property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of
such claim, remedy or right; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not
exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity or reimbursement or
any other rights it may have now or hereafter have, and any and all rights of
recourse to any Borrower Party or any of its assets with respect to any payment
it makes under this Agreement until (x) all of the Obligations (as defined in
the Credit Agreement) (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet
asserted by the Person entitled thereto) shall have been indefeasibly paid,
performed or discharged in full in cash, and (y) no Person has any further right
to obtain any loans, advances or other extensions of credit under any of the
Loan Documents.  If any amount is paid to the Guarantor in violation
of the foregoing limitation, then such amount shall be held in trust for the
benefit of the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Agent (for the benefit
of the Lenders) to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether
matured or unmatured.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement or applicable law, the Guarantor shall not have, with respect to any
payments made by the Guarantor under this Agreement, any right of subrogation,
contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or other right whatsoever, whether by
contract at law, in equity or otherwise, against, and shall have no recourse
whatsoever to, any Borrower Party other than the Borrower and its Subsidiaries;
provided, that, (x) nothing in this sentence shall provide the Guarantor with
greater rights or recourse with respect to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries than
the Guarantor would otherwise have under applicable law, and (y) all such rights
and recourse shall subject in all respects to the other provisions of this
Section 6.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement shall not limit
the ability of the Guarantor or its subsidiaries to ask for, sue, demand,
receive and retain payments and other consideration from the Borrower or any
other Borrower Party in respect of obligations of such Persons to the Guarantor
and/or its subsidiaries which do not arise under this Agreement.

    7.        Continuity of Guaranteed
Obligations; Bankruptcy or Insolvency.  If
all or any part of any payment applied to any Guaranteed Obligation is or must
be recovered, rescinded or returned to the Borrower, the Guarantor or any other
Person (other than the Lenders) for any reason whatsoever (including, without
limitation, bankruptcy or insolvency of any party), such Guaranteed Obligation
shall be deemed to have continued in existence and this Agreement shall continue
in effect as to such Guaranteed Obligation, all as though such payment had not
been made. For the avoidance of doubt, the bankruptcy, insolvency, or
dissolution of, or the commencement of any case or proceeding under any
bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law in respect of, the Borrower or any other
Borrower Party shall not require the Guarantor to make any payment under this
Agreement until all of the conditions in Section 2 and Section 4 have been
satisfied (including, without limitation, the exhaustion of all Lender
Remedies).

     

    8.        No Waiver.  No
delay or omission on the part of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any
rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such rights or any other rights,
and no waiver of any right on any one occasion shall result in a waiver of such
right on any future occasion or of any other rights; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right.

     

    9.        Representations and
Warranties.  The
Guarantor represents and warrants that [(a) it is a [________] duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization, (b) the execution, delivery and performance by the Guarantor of
this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
are within its powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary
action]2; (c) this
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Guarantor, and constitutes
the Guarantor’s legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance
with its terms; (d) the making and performance of this Agreement does not and
will not violate the provisions of any applicable law, regulation or order
applicable to or binding on the Guarantor, and does not and will not result in
the breach of, or constitute a default or require any consent under, any
material agreement, instrument, or document to which the Guarantor is a party or
by which the Guarantor or any of its property may be bound or affected; (e) all
consents, approvals, licenses and authorizations of, and filings and
registrations with, any governmental authority or regulatory body or other third
party for the execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee by the
Guarantor have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect; and (f)
by virtue of the Guarantor’s relationship with the Borrower, the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement is for the direct benefit of the
Guarantor and the Guarantor has received adequate consideration for this
Agreement.

    10.      Enforcement
Expenses.  The
Guarantor hereby agrees to pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent
and each Lender in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement (including,
without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel employed by
the Agent or any of the Lenders); provided that no payment shall be due and
owing under this Section 10 during the pendancy of any good faith dispute
between the Guarantor and the Agent or the Lenders regarding the enforcement of
this Agreement against the Guarantor and such payment shall be due only if (A)
Guarantor agrees to make such payment or (B) a court of competent jurisdiction
has determined pursuant to a final non-appealable order that this Agreement may
be enforced against the Guarantor.

     

    11.      Fraudulent
Conveyance.  Notwithstanding
any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, it is intended that this
Agreement, the Guarantor’s guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder and
any liens and security interests securing the Guarantor’s obligations under this
Agreement, not constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance (as defined
below).  Consequently, Guarantor agrees that if this Agreement, the
Guarantor’s guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder or any liens or
security interests securing the Guarantor’s obligations under this Agreement,
would, but for the application of this sentence, constitute a Fraudulent
Conveyance, this Agreement, such guarantee and each such lien and security
interest shall be valid and enforceable only to the maximum extent that would
not cause this Agreement, such guarantee or such lien or security interest to
constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, and this Agreement shall automatically be
deemed to have been amended accordingly at all relevant times.  For
purposes of this Section 11, the term “Fraudulent Conveyance” means a fraudulent
conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code (as defined in the Credit
Agreement) or a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the
provisions of any applicable fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law or
similar law of any state, nation or other governmental unit, as in effect from
time to time.

     

    12.      Exculpation of
Lenders.  The
Guarantor acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and each of its
Affiliates, that none of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., J.P. Morgan Securities
Inc., Bank of America, N.A., Bank of America Securities LLC or any of the other
Lenders from time-to-time under the Credit Agreement, or any of their respective
Affiliates, successors or assigns, or any officer, director, partner, trustee,
equity holder, agent, employee, attorney, attorney-in-fact, advisor or
controlling Person of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Lender Parties”)
shall have any duty (including any fiduciary duty or any other express or
implied duty), liability, obligation or responsibility whatsoever to the
Guarantor or any of its Affiliates arising from, in connection with or relating
to (i) the Loans and other extensions of credit contemplated by the Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents (the “Debt Financing”), or (ii) any of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents or any agreement, instrument certificate or instrument
referred to in the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any actual or
alleged breach, misrepresentation or failure to perform any of their respective
duties or obligations (including, but not limited to, any failure to fund or
otherwise extend credit) under any Loan Document or any agreement, certificate
or instrument related thereto (clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the
“Financing Matters”).  No Lender Party shall be liable to the
Guarantor or any of its Affiliates for any action taken or not taken by such
Lender Party in connection with any of the Financing Matters; provided, that,
for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing sentence shall not, in and of itself,
operate as a waiver of defenses by the Guarantor to enforcement of this
Agreement. The Guarantor hereby waives, releases and forever discharges each of
the Lender Parties from any and all actions, causes of action, suits, debts,
losses, costs, controversies, damages, liabilities, judgments, claims and
demands whatsoever, in law or equity or otherwise, whether known or unknown
(collectively, “Claims”) directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to
any of the Financing Matters, that the Guarantor or any of its Affiliates ever
had, now has or hereafter can, shall or may have against any of the Lender
Parties, except to the extent arising as a result of (x) a demand for payment
hereunder prior to the conditions in Section 2 and Section 4 being satisfied or
(y) any act of gross negligence or willful misconduct committed by such Person
at any time following the date hereof as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction pursuant to a final non-appealable order.  Furthermore,
the Guarantor covenants not to sue any Lender Party in connection with or
assert, and agrees to cause his Affiliates not to sue any Lender Party in
connection with or assert, any Claims which they or any other party now or may
hereafter have in connection with any Financing Matter, except to the extent
arising as a result of (x) a demand for payment hereunder prior to the
conditions in Section 2 and Section 4 being satisfied or (y) any act of gross
negligence or willful misconduct committed by such Person at any time following
the date hereof as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a
final non-appealable order. Each of the Lender Parties shall be an intended
third party beneficiary of this Section 12 and may enforce the terms of this
Section 12 as if such Lender Party were a direct party to this Agreement, and
this Section 12 may not be amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified
without the prior written consent of each of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Bank
of America, N.A.

    13.      Miscellaneous.

     

    (a)         This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely in
New York.

     

    (b)         The
Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal
court of the United States of America sitting in New York City and any appellate
court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating
to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and the
Agent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect
of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined exclusively in
any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such
federal court.  The Guarantor agrees that a final judgment in any such
action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party (other than the
Guarantor) may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement in the courts of any jurisdiction.  The Guarantor
irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and
effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying
of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement in any New York State or federal court.  The Guarantor
hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense
of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any
such court.

    (c)         This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Guarantor and
its successors
and assigns and the Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors and
assigns.

     

    (d)         This
Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to
the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings, oral or written, between the parties related
thereto.

     

    (e)         Each
reference herein to the Guarantor shall be deemed to include the successors and
assigns of the Guarantor, all of whom shall be bound by the provisions of this
Agreement; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not, without obtaining
the prior written consent of the Lenders (which consent may be withheld or
conditioned in the Lenders’ sole discretion), assign or transfer this Agreement
or the Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities under this Agreement, in whole or
in part, to any other Person (and any attempted assignment or transfer by
Guarantor without such prior written consent shall be null and void). Upon the
written request of the Lenders, the Guarantor shall assign this Agreement to any
Person who acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Guarantor;
provided, that the Lenders shall have no duty or obligation to make such
request. Each reference herein to the Lenders shall be deemed to include the
successors and assigns of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement; it being
understood that this Agreement shall not be for the benefit of, or be assigned
to, any refinancing or refunding source with respect to the Guaranteed
Obligations (it being acknowledged that an amendment, restatement, waiver or
other modification of the terms of the Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents
shall not constitute a refinancing or refunding for purposes of this provision)
without the prior written consent of the Guarantor, provided, that in no event
shall the foregoing prevent or restrict any Lender from making an assignment,
selling a participation in, pledging or granting a security interest in or
otherwise transferring all or any portion of its interests in the Loans (and its
corresponding interest in the guarantee provided for hereunder) under the
applicable provisions of Section 15.1 of the Credit Agreement (as in effect on
the date hereof, except to the extent the Guarantor consents to any subsequent
amendment or other modification to such provisions) or impair any Lender’s
rights under this Agreement as a result of any such assignment, participation,
pledge, security interest or transfer made in accordance with such
provisions.

     

    (f)          This
Agreement is for the benefit only of the Agent and the Lenders, shall be
enforceable by them alone, is not intended to confer upon any third party any
rights or remedies hereunder, and shall not be construed as for the benefit of
any third party; provided, however, that (i) the Agent shall be permitted, in
its sole discretion, to pay or to direct the Guarantor to pay any and all
amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Lender or any third party, and
(ii) each of the Lender Parties may enforce the provisions of Section 12 of this
Agreement.

    (g)         EACH
PARTY HERETO, FOR ITSELF AND ITS AFFILIATES, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ALL
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR
OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR
THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT IN THE NEGOTIATION,
ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF AND THEREOF. THE PARTIES AGREE
THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT
A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR
RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO
ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART,
TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PROVISION
HEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS,
SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT.

     

    14.           Miscellaneous.

     

    (a)         This
Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument or instruments
in writing signed by each of the parties hereto and, with respect to any
amendment or modification of Section 11, each of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and
Bank of America, N.A.

any term or provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any
Person or circumstance, shall to any extent be held invalid or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction, then (i) as to such jurisdiction, the remainder of this
Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to Persons or
circumstances other than those as to which such term or provision is held
invalid or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, shall not be affected thereby,
(ii) the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the
scope, duration, area or applicability of such provision, to delete specific
words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a
provision that is valid and enforceable and comes closest to expressing the
intention of the invalid or unenforceable provision, and (iii) each remaining
term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Any such invalidity or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     

    (d)           This
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be
considered one and the same agreement, and will become effective when one or
more counterparts have been signed by a party and delivered to the other
parties.  Copies of executed counterparts transmitted by telecopy,
telefax or other electronic transmission service shall be considered original
executed counterparts for purposes of this Section 14(d), provided that receipt
of copies of such counterparts is confirmed.

failure of the Company, or the Manager on behalf of the Company, to comply with
any of the foregoing covenants or any other covenants contained in this
Agreement shall not affect the status of the Company as a separate legal entity
or the limited liability of the Members.

    COMPANY UNITS; CAPITAL
CONTRIBUTIONS

     

    5.1.        Capital
Structure.

     

    (a)         The
Company is authorized to issue equity interests in the Company designated as
“Company Units,” which shall constitute limited liability company interests
under the Act (the “Company
Units”).  As of the date hereof, the Company has no outstanding
Company Units.  Pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreement,
at the Closing the Company shall issue Company Units and Schedule I hereto
shall be revised to reflect such issuance.  The Company Units will
have the powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and
restrictions as set forth herein.  Each Company Unit is intended to
represent the same rights, powers, and obligations of the Parent OP Unit that
will be deemed to be contributed by a Member to the Company (which will be set
forth on Schedule
I hereto), with the intention that the capital structure will represent,
to the maximum extent possible, the same right to receive allocations of income,
gain, loss, deduction and credit (for purposes of determining both Capital
Accounts and for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and distributions that a
Member would possess if the Member directly owned the Parent OP Units to be
contributed to the Company.

     

    (b)         The
name of each Member and the number of Company Units held by each such Member as
well as the Parent OP Units to be held by the Company for the benefit of such
Member will be set forth on Schedule I hereto, as
such schedule may be amended from time to time to reflect, among other things
the admission of new Members, additional issuances of Company Units to the
Members and transfers of Company Units.

     

    (c)         The
Company Units will not be certificated and will be represented solely by
book-entry.  The Manager shall maintain a list of the holders of
Company Units and the Parent OP Units to be contributed by such Member in the
same manner as the Parent OP maintains a list of the holders of Parent OP
Units.  The Manager shall maintain this list in a manner that shall
separately track and identify the Company Units of a Member as corresponding to
the Parent OP Units to be contributed by such Member.

     

    (d)         In
the event of any change in the outstanding number of Parent OP Units by reason
of any share dividend, split, reverse split, recapitalization, merger,
consolidation or combination by the Parent OP, the number of Company Units to be
held by each Member shall be proportionately adjusted such that, to the extent
possible, one Company Unit remains the equivalent of one Parent OP Unit without
dilution or accretion.

     

    5.2.        Capital
Contributions.

     

    (a)         Except
as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the Act, no Manager or
Member shall be obligated to make any contribution of capital to the Company or
have any liability for the debts and obligations of the Company.  This
Section 5.2 is
in furtherance of, and not in limitation of, Section 18-303(a) of the
Act.

    5.3.        Capital
Accounts.

     

    (a)         A
separate account (each a “Capital Account”)
shall be established and maintained for each Member, in accordance with Treasury
Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), which shall be increased by (i) the amount
of any cash contributed to the Company by such Member (ii) the fair market value
of any property contributed to the Company by such Member (as determined by in
good faith by the Manager) and (iii) the amount of any income, gain or credit
allocated to such Member pursuant to Article 7, and
decreased by (i) the amount of any loss or deduction allocated to such Member
pursuant to Article
7, (ii) the amount of any cash distributed to such Member and (iii) the
fair market value of any asset distributed in kind to such Member (as determined
by in good faith by the Manager) including any Parent REIT
Shares.  The Manager’s determination of such Capital Accounts shall be
binding upon all parties.  The Manager shall have authority to choose
from all available tax accounting methodologies.

     

    (b)         The
Capital Accounts of the Members as of the date of this Agreement are set forth
in Schedule I
hereto which will be amended upon the Closing to reflect the contribution of the
Parent OP Units pursuant to the Contribution Agreement.

     

    (c)         Withdrawal of
Contributions.  No Member shall be entitled to withdraw any
cash or property or other sums from its Capital Account or to receive any
distributions from the Company except as expressly provided in this
Agreement.  Except as set forth in Article 6, no Member
shall have the right to demand to receive any cash or assets for its Company
Units or the Parent OP Units contributed by such Member.

     

    (d)         No
Interest.  No member shall be entitled to interest on any cash

    DISTRIBUTIONS AND
ALLOCATIONS

     

    7.1.        Allocations of Profits and
Losses.  Each Member shall be allocated each item of income,
gain, loss, deduction or credit allocated by Parent OP with respect to the
Parent OP Units that such Member contributed to the Company, as if such Member
continued to directly own such Parent OP Units.  The Manager shall
allocate any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of the Company not
attributable to the Parent OP Units pro rata in accordance with the number of
Parent OP Units contributed by each Member.

     

    7.2.        Distributions
Generally.  Except as set forth in Article 6 and Section 7.3,
distributions from the Company to the Members shall be made at such times as the
Manager shall determine.

    7.3.        Required
Distributions.  Subject to Section 7.4, except
as set forth in Article 6, (i) all
cash dividends and other cash distributions received by the Company with respect
to the Parent OP Units contributed by a Member; (ii) all dividends and
distributions of securities issued by any Person other than Parent OP received
by the Company with respect to the Parent OP Units contributed by a Member; and
(iii) all dividends and distributions of securities issued by the Parent OP that
are not Parent OP Units (as such term is defined in the Contribution Agreement),
in each case, shall be promptly, and in any event within two Business Days of
receipt of such dividend or distribution, distributed to the Member that
contributed such Parent OP Units as if such Member continued to directly own
such Parent OP Units.  For the avoidance of doubt, any Parent OP Units
shall be received by the Company in compliance with Section
5.1(d).

     

    7.4.        Withholding.   Each
Member hereby authorizes the Company to withhold or pay on behalf of or with
respect to such Member any amount of federal, state, local or foreign taxes that
the Manager determines the Company is required to withhold or pay with respect
to any amount distributable or allocable to such Member pursuant to this
Agreement, including, without limitation, any taxes required to be withheld or
paid by the Company pursuant to Code Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, or
1446.  Any amount paid by the Company on behalf of or with respect to
a Member will be deemed to have been actually distributed to such Member and
paid by such Member to the applicable taxing authority. Nothing in this Section 7.4 shall
create any obligation on the Manager to advance funds to the Company or to
borrow funds from third parties in order to make payments on account of any
liability of the Company under a withholding tax act; provided, however, the
Manager may borrow funds for such purpose notwithstanding the limitations
imposed on the Manger by Section
3.8.  If the Manager borrows funds from third parties in order
to make payments to a taxing authority under this Section 7.4, the
Member on whose behalf such taxes are paid will be required to reimburse the
Manager for any and all interest payments made on such amount, which shall be
repaid through withholding of subsequent distributions to such
Member.

     

    7.5.        Tax Matters
Member.  The Company hereby designates the Manager as the tax
matters partner of the Company as provided in the Treasury Regulations pursuant
to Section 6231 of the Code (the “Tax Matters
Member”).  The Manager shall pay all expenses incurred by it in
connection with service as Tax Matters Member.  The Manager shall have
all rights permitted to be granted to a tax matters partner.  Each
Member shall, if necessary, execute any power of attorney to the Manager in its
capacity as Tax Matters Member to fulfill its obligations with respect to tax
matters on behalf of the Company.  The Manager shall at all times keep
the Members reasonably informed of the commencement and progress of any audit or
other proceeding with respect to Taxes and shall permit any Member, at its own
expense, to participate in such proceeding.

    TRANSFER OF COMPANY
UNITS/ADMISSION OF NEW MEMBERS

     

    9.1.        Transfers.  No
Member may directly or indirectly, Transfer all or any portion of its Company
Units or any of its rights or interests under this Agreement to any Person
without the consent of the Manager, which consent may be withheld or granted
subject to such conditions as may be determined by the Manager in its sole
discretion.

    (a)         Notwithstanding
the foregoing, but subject to the provisions of Section 9.2 hereof,
any Member may at any time, without the consent of the Manager, (i) Transfer all
or a portion of its Company Units to an Affiliate of such Member, or (ii) other
than LVP OP and Pro-DFJV, Pledge some or all of its Company Units to any
Institutional Lender.  Any Transfer to an Affiliate pursuant to clause
(i) and any Transfer to a pledgee of Company Units pursuant to clause (ii) may
be made without the consent of the Manager but, except as provided in subsequent
provisions of this Section 9.1, such
transferee or such pledgee shall hold the Company Units so transferred to it
(and shall be admitted to the Company as a Member) subject to all the
restrictions set forth in this Section
9.1.  It is a condition to any Transfer otherwise permitted
under any provision of this Section 9.1 that the
transferee assumes by operation of law or express agreement all of the
obligations of the transferor Member under this Agreement with respect to such
transferred Company Units, as the case may be, arising after the effective date
of the Transfer and no such Transfer (other than pursuant to a statutory merger
or consolidation wherein all obligations and liabilities of the transferor
Member are assumed by a successor corporation by operation of law) shall relieve
the transferor Member of its obligations under this Agreement prior to the
effective date of such Transfer.  Upon any such Transfer or Pledge
permitted under this Section 9.1, the
transferee or, upon foreclosure on the Company Units, as the case may be, each
Institutional Lender which is the pledgee shall be admitted as a Member and
shall succeed to all of the rights of the transferor Member under this Agreement
in the place and stead of such transferor Member.  Any transferee,
whether or not admitted as a Member, shall take subject to the obligations of
the transferor hereunder.  No transferee pursuant to a Transfer which
is not expressly permitted under this Section 9.1 or is not
consented to by the Manager, whether by a voluntary Transfer, by operation of
law or otherwise, shall have any rights hereunder, other than the right to
receive such portion of the distributions and allocations of profits and losses
made by the Company as are allocable to the Company Units, as the case may be,
so transferred.

     

    9.2.        Restrictions on
Transfer.  In addition to any other restrictions on Transfer
herein contained, in no event may any Transfer or assignment of a Company Unit
by any Member be made (i) to any Person which lacks the legal right, power or
capacity to own a Company Unit; (ii) in violation of applicable Law; (iii) if
such Transfer would immediately or with the passage of time cause the Parent OP
General Partner to fail to comply with the REIT Requirements (as defined in the
Parent OP Agreement), such determination to be made assuming that the Parent OP
General Partner does comply with the REIT Requirements immediately prior to the
proposed Transfer; (iv) if such Transfer would cause the Company to become, with
respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a
“party-in-interest” (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a “disqualified
person” (as defined in Section 4975(e) of the Code); (v) if such Transfer would,
in the opinion of counsel to the Company, cause any portion of the underlying
assets of the Company to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant
to Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101; (vi) if such Transfer
would result in a deemed distribution to any Member attributable to a failure to
meet the requirements of Regulations Section l.752-2(d)(l), unless such Member
consents thereto, (vii) if such Transfer would cause any lender to the Company
to hold in excess of ten (10) percent of the Company Units that would, pursuant
to the regulations under Section 752 of the Code or any successor provision,
cause a loan by such a lender to constitute “Partner Nonrecourse Debt”, (viii)
if such Transfer, other than to an Affiliate, is of Company Units the value of
which would have been less than $20,000 when issued, (ix) if such Transfer
would, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, cause the Company to cease to
be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (x) if
such Transfer is effectuated through an “established securities market” or a
“secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of
Section 7704(b) of the Code.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, the issuance, sale, transfer or other disposition (whether by
merger, consolidation or otherwise) of equity securities of LVP REIT or LVP OP
shall not be a “Transfer” for purposes of this Agreement and shall not be
subject to any restrictions hereunder.

     

    9.3.        Effect of Transfer Not in
Accordance with Agreement.  Any Transfer of any direct or
indirect interest in the Company in violation of this Article 9 shall be
null and void ab initio, and of no force and effect.

EXCULPATION

     

    12.1.      Liability of
Manager.

     

    (a)         The
Manager may rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting,
upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document
reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper party or parties.

     

    (b)         The
Manager may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management
consultants, investment bankers and other consultants and advisers selected by
it, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon the opinion of
such Persons as to matters that the Manager reasonably believes to be within
such Person’s professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed
to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such
opinion.

     

    (c)         The
Manager shall not be liable to the Company or any Member for any loss, damage or
claim (or any expenses or costs associated therewith) incurred by reason of any
act or omission performed or omitted to be performed by the Manager other than
as a result of the Manager’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct.

     

    (d)         The
Manager’s obligations to the Company and to the Members are limited to the
express obligations described in this Agreement.

     

    (e)         The
Members acknowledge and agree that the relationship of the Manager to the
Company and the Members is, to the maximum extent permissible under the Act,
contractual in nature and not fiduciary.  Accordingly, pursuant to
Section 18-1101 of the Act, the Members agree that to the maximum extent
permissible under the Act, the Manager shall not have any fiduciary or any other
similar duties or obligations to any Member or any other Person by virtue of the
Manager’s actions in its capacity as such (or, if complete elimination of such
duties and obligations is deemed to be not permissible under the Act, then such
duties and obligations shall be reduced to the maximum extent
permissible).

     

    (f)          The
provisions of this Section 12.1 are for
the benefit of the Manager.  This Section 12.1 may be
amended, modified or repealed in the manner set forth in Section 14.6 of this
Agreement, but any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 12.1 or any
provision hereof (including as a result of any amendment, modification or repeal
of the Act) shall (unless the Manager shall expressly have consented to such
amendment, modification or repeal) be prospective only and shall (unless the
Manager shall expressly have consented to such amendment, modification or
repeal) not in any way affect the limitations on liability under this Section 12.1 as in
effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect
to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part,
prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims
may be asserted.

limitations and exculpation afforded by each provision of this Section 12.1 are
cumulative and not exclusive. Nothing in this Section 12.1 is
intended, or shall be deemed, to permit conduct that would otherwise conduct
that, even disregarding the terms hereof otherwise would be actionable by the
Company or the Members.

     

    12.2.      Liability of the
Members.  Except as otherwise required in the Act, the debts,
obligations, and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort
or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the
Company, and the Members shall not be obligated personally for any such debt,
obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Member or
participating in the management of the Company.  The failure of the
Company to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of
its powers or management of its business or affairs under the Act or this
Agreement shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on the Members
for liabilities of the Company.

any requirement under any Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite
to obtaining equitable relief.

investment in the Company and the transactions contemplated hereby.

     

    (b)         Each
Member acknowledges that it understands that the Company Units to be acquired by
it hereunder will not be registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon
the exemption afforded by Section 4(2) thereof for transactions by an issuer not
involving any public offering, and will not be registered or qualified under any
applicable state securities laws.  Each Member represents that (i) it
is acquiring such Company Units for investment only and without any view toward
distribution thereof, and it will not sell or otherwise dispose of such Company
Units except in accordance with the terms hereof and in compliance with the
registration requirements or exemption provisions of any applicable state
securities laws, (ii) its economic circumstances are such that it is able to
bear all risks of the investment in the Company Units for an indefinite period
of time including the risk of a complete loss of its investment in the Company
Units and (iii) it has knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters sufficient to evaluate the risks of investment in the Company
Units.  Each Member further acknowledges and represents that it has
made its own independent investigation of the Company and the business conducted
and proposed to be conducted by the Company, and that any information relating
thereto furnished to the Member was supplied by or on behalf of the
Company.

     

    14.2.      Entire
Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the Annexes and
Schedules hereto (and any other agreements expressly contemplated hereby or
thereby), constitutes the entire agreement and understanding, and supersedes all
other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between Member
or its Affiliates or any of them and the Company with respect to the subject
matter hereof.

     

    14.3.      Governing Law;
Jurisdiction.  THIS AGREEMENT IS GOVERNED BY AND SHALL BE
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, EXCLUDING ANY
CONFLICT-OF-LAWS RULE OR PRINCIPLE THAT MIGHT REFER THE GOVERNANCE OR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.  In
the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any
mandatory, non-waivable provision of the Act, such provision of the Act shall
control to the extent necessary to eliminate such direct
conflict.  Nothing in this Agreement shall require any unlawful action
or inaction by any Person.

    14.4.      Third Party
Beneficiaries.  Subject to Section 12.1, (i)
this Agreement is for the benefit solely of, and shall inure solely to the

Members) other than the Members, the Manager and the Company.

     

    14.5.      Expenses.  Except
as may otherwise be expressly provided herein, the Manager and the Members shall
pay their own expenses (including legal, accounting investment banker, broker or
finders fees) incident to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and
the performance of its obligations hereunder.

     

    14.6.      Waivers and
Amendments.  This Agreement may only be amended or modified
(including by merger, consolidation or otherwise), and the terms hereof may only
be waived, upon the prior written approval of the Manager and the Members
holding a majority of the outstanding Company Units; provided that, (a) to
the extent any such amendment (or series of amendments) disproportionately
affects in any materially adverse manner the rights of any Member relative to
the rights of any other Member (taking into account the rights and obligations
of such Member prior to giving effect to such amendment), then such amendment
shall not be effective against such Member without the prior written consent of
such Member and (b) prior to the issuance of Company Units, no amendment,
modification or waiver shall be made without the prior written approval of the
Manager and the Representative (as defined in the Contribution
Agreement).  Except where a specific period for action or inaction is
provided herein, no failure on the part of the Manager or a Member to exercise,
and no delay on the part of the Manager or a Member in exercising, any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any
waiver on the part of the Manager or a Member of any such right, power or
privilege, or any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or
privilege, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or privilege.

addressee, provided that any notice or communication that is received (or

deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day of

    14.8.      Counterparts; Facsimile

    (a)         This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be
an original and all of which shall together constitute one and the same
instrument.  It shall not be necessary for any counterpart to bear the
signature of all parties hereto.

     

    (b)         This
Agreement and any amendments hereto, to the extent signed and delivered by
facsimile or other electronic means, shall be treated in all manner and respects
as an original agreement and shall be considered to have the same binding legal

person.  No signatory to this Agreement shall raise the use of a
facsimile machine or other electronic means to deliver a signature or the fact
that any signature or agreement was transmitted or communicated through the use
of a facsimile machine or other electronic means as a defense to the formation
or enforceability of a contract and each such Person forever waives any such
defense.

     

    14.9.      Successors and

    14.10.    Severability. Any
provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall be ineffective, but such ineffectiveness shall be limited as
follows: (i) if such provision is prohibited or unenforceable in such
jurisdiction only as to a particular Person or Persons and/or under any
particular circumstance or circumstances, such provision shall be ineffective,
but only in such jurisdiction and only with respect to such particular Person or
Persons and/or under such particular circumstance or circumstances, as the case
may be; (ii) without limitation of clause (i), such provision shall in any event
be ineffective only as to such jurisdiction and only to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability, and such prohibition or unenforceability in
such jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in
any other jurisdiction; and (iii) without limitation of clauses (i) or (ii),
such ineffectiveness shall not invalidate any of the remaining provisions of
this Agreement.  Without limitation of the preceding sentence, it is
the intent of the parties to this Agreement that in the event that in any court
proceeding, such court determines that any provision of this Agreement is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction (because of the duration or
scope (geographic or otherwise) of such provision, or for any other reason) such
court shall have the power to, and shall, (x) modify such provision (including
without limitation, to the extent applicable, by limiting the duration or scope
of such provision and/or the Persons against whom, and/or the circumstances
under which, such provision shall be effective in such jurisdiction) for
purposes of such proceeding to the minimum extent necessary so that such
provision, as so modified, may then be enforced in such proceeding and (y)
enforce such provision, as so modified pursuant to clause (x), in such
proceeding.  Nothing in this Section 14.10 is
intended to, or shall, limit (1) the ability of any party to this Agreement to
appeal any court ruling or the effect of any favorable ruling on appeal or (2)
the intended effect of Section
14.4.

     

    14.11.    Submission to Jurisdiction;
Waivers.  Each of the Company, the Manager and each of the
Members hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

     

    (a)         (i)
agrees that any suit, action or proceeding against it or any of its Affiliates
arising out of or relating to or in connection with this Agreement shall be
instituted solely in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware; provided that
if (and only after) such courts determine that they lack subject matter
jurisdiction over any such legal action, suit or proceeding, such legal action,
suit or proceeding shall be brought in the Federal courts of the United States
located in the State of Delaware, (ii) consents and submits, for itself and its
property, to the jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any such suit,
action or proceeding instituted against it, and (iii) agrees that a final
judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by Law;

     

    (b)         agrees
that service of all writs, process and summonses in any suit, action or
proceeding pursuant to Section 14.11(a) may
be effected by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail,
postage prepaid, to it at its address for notices pursuant to Section 14.7 (with
copies to such other Persons as specified therein), such service to become
effective thirty (30) days after such mailing, provided that nothing contained
in this Section
14.11(b) shall affect the right of any party to serve process in any
other manner permitted by Law;

    


    
      
        
           


        

        
          E-20

          
            

          

        

        
           


        

      

    

    


    (c)         (i)
waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue
of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement
brought in any court specified in Section 14.11(a),
(ii) waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any
such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, and (iii) agrees not to
plead or claim either of the foregoing; and

     

    (d)         WAIVES
ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH DISPUTE SHALL BE TRIED
BEFORE A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

     

    14.12.    Termination of
Agreement.  If the Contribution Agreement is terminated in
accordance with its terms, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated and of no
further force or effect without any liability to any Member or the
Manager.

Owner(s) (a “Taxable OP Unit Disposition”, and together with a Taxable Property
Disposition, a “Taxable Disposition”).

       

      (d)           For
the avoidance of doubt, a Taxable Disposition shall not include a sale,
transfer, exchange, or other disposition of any New Company Units or Parent OP
Common Units (including following a pledge of New Company Units or Parent OP
Common Units) by a Lichtenstein Party (or an Indirect Owner) or any Affiliate
thereof.

       

      3.           Obligation to Maintain and
Allocate Certain Debt.

       

      (a)           Parent
OP shall maintain the Section 15.28 Loan or the Refinancing with an outstanding
principal balance of no less than the Distributable Amount until the fourth
anniversary of the Closing Date, and shall not discharge the Section 15.28 Loan
(other than through a Refinancing) or the Refinancing prior to such
anniversary.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          F-5

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      (b)           Parent
OP, directly or indirectly, shall maintain the CMBS Debt at all times through
the scheduled maturity dates listed on Schedule C, in the
principal amounts set forth on Schedule C, as
adjusted for regularly scheduled principal payments.

       

      (c)           At
all times up to and including the scheduled maturity of the Original CMBS Debt,
Parent OP shall allocate “excess nonrecourse liabilities” (as described in
Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3)) in respect of each Property subject
to the CMBS Debt to each Lichtenstein Party (through its interest in New
Company) up to the amount of such Person’s Allocable Share of the Built-In Gain
with respect to each such Property, after taking into allocations described in
Treasury Regulations Sections 1.752-3(a)(1) and 1.752-3(a)(2).

       

      (d)           The
CMBS Debt shall be allocated among the Properties in accordance with Treasury
Regulations Section 1.752-3(b).  The allocation of the CMBS Debt among
the Properties as of the Closing Date shall be set forth on Schedule
F.

       

      (e)           All
tax returns filed by Parent OP shall report the outstanding principal amount of
the Section 15.28 Loan and any Refinancing as a recourse liability allocable
solely to the Lichtenstein Parties (through their interests in New Company) to
the extent of the Guaranties or Refinancing Guaranties for purposes of Section
752 of the Code, except as required by a change in law or a determination under
Section 1313 of the Code with respect to a Lichtenstein Party after the date
hereof.

       

      (f)           For
federal, state and local tax purposes, the Section 15.28 Loan and any
Refinancing with respect to which the Lichtenstein Parties provide Refinancing
Guaranties shall be Parent OP Debt that satisfies the requirements for treatment
as a “nonrecourse liability” for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section
1.752-1(a)(2), and would not constitute “partner nonrecourse debt” or a “partner
nonrecourse liability” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-2(b)(4) in the absence of any Guaranty or Refinancing
Guaranty.  For avoidance of doubt, any “significant modification”
(within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-3(e)) of the Section
15.28 Loan or a Refinancing occurring as a result of actions by Parent OP or any
of its Affiliates shall itself be treated as the incurrence of new indebtedness
for purposes of this Agreement and must satisfy the requirements set forth in
the previous sentence.

       

      4.           Guaranties; Capital
Contribution Obligations.

       

      (a)           At
all times up to and including the maturity of the Section 15.28 Loan, Parent OP
shall permit each Lichtenstein Party to maintain a Guaranty in an amount at
least equal to such Person’s Allocable Share of the Distributable Amount, as
determined from time to time.  Jonathan Gould, an individual residing
at 353 East 19th Street, New York, New York, also will be given the opportunity
to enter into a Guaranty and Refinancing Guaranty up to the amount set forth on
Schedule H.

       

      (b)           Each
Lichtenstein Party shall be given the opportunity to provide a guaranty of
collection with respect to any Refinancing that is substantially identical to
the Guaranty in all respects including the amount of the guaranty (the
“Refinancing Guaranty”) contemporaneously with the consummation of each such
Refinancing, and shall be permitted to maintain such Refinancing Guaranty at all
times up to and including the maturity of each Refinancing in an amount at least
equal to such Lichtenstein Party’s Allocable Share of Distributable Amount;
provided, that Parent OP shall have no obligation to offer the Lichtenstein
Parties the opportunity to provide Refinancing Guaranties with respect to any
Refinancing consummated after the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date;
provided further, at any time after the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date,
Parent OP shall be permitted to repay or satisfy, in whole or in part, modify or
otherwise take any actions with respect to the 15.28 Loan or any Refinancing
without limitation.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          F-6

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      (c)           Parent
REIT shall not be an obligor with respect to the Section 15.28 Loan or any
Refinancing with respect to which the Lichtenstein Parties provide Refinancing
Guaranties.

       

      (d)           At
all times that the Lichtenstein Parties hold direct or indirect interests in
Parent OP (other than through the ownership of stock of Parent REIT), Parent OP
shall offer the Lichtenstein Parties the opportunity to enter into capital
contribution agreements substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the
“Capital Contribution Agreements”), pursuant to which the Lichtenstein Parties
shall have capital contribution obligations in respect of indebtedness of Parent
OP that would qualify as “nonrecourse liabilities” for purposes of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.752-1(a)(2) in the absence of such agreements (the
“Capital Contribution Obligations”).  The Lichtenstein Parties shall
designate the initial amounts of the Capital Contribution Obligations on the
Closing Date on Schedule E, and such
amounts shall be increased from time to time pursuant to the terms of the
Capital Contribution Agreements.1  Parent OP shall maintain sufficient amounts of
indebtedness described in the first sentence of this paragraph in order to
support the Capital Contribution Obligations, taking into account any other
similar obligations of other direct or indirect owners of Parent OP, at all
times that the Lichtenstein Parties hold direct or indirect interests in Parent
OP.

       

      (e)           If
a Lichtenstein Party declines to execute a Refinancing Guaranty that Parent OP
tenders to such Lichtenstein Party (a “Lichtenstein Guaranty Failure”), the loan
to which such guaranty opportunity relates, and any refinancing of such loan,
shall no longer be subject to the provisions of this Section 4 and, accordingly,
Parent OP shall not be required at any point in the future to offer such
Lichtenstein Party an opportunity to guaranty such Refinancing or any loan that
refinances such Refinancing.

       

      5.           Section 704(c)
Method.  Parent OP and any other entity in which Parent OP has
a direct or indirect interest shall use, to the extent permitted under the Code,
the “traditional method” (without “curative allocations”) under Treasury
Regulations Section 1.704-3(b) for purposes of making allocations under Code
Section 704(c) with respect to each Property to take into account the
book-tax disparities as of the Closing Date and with respect to any revaluation
of such Property pursuant to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f),
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), and 1.704-3(a)(6).

       

       

        
          

        

      

      
        
          	
                  1

                	
                  Capital
      Contribution Agreements to provide that the amount of the Capital
      Contribution Obligations will be increased as of (i) the fourth
      anniversary of the Closing, or, if later, the expiration of the
      Refinancing Guaranties and (ii) the repayment of the CMBS
      Debt.

                


        

      

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          F-7

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      6.           Indemnification.

       

      (a)

       

      (i)           In
the event that Parent OP or New Company breaches its obligations under Section 2, Parent OP
and Parent REIT shall indemnify and hold harmless each Lichtenstein Party from
and against, and Parent OP and Parent REIT shall  be jointly and
severally liable to each Lichtenstein Party for (x) the amount of Taxes deemed
incurred by such Lichtenstein Party with respect to such Lichtenstein Party’s
Allocable Share of the Built-In Gain that is recognized as a result of such
Taxable Disposition and (y) a “gross-up” amount so that, after the hypothetical
payment by such Lichtenstein Party of all Taxes on amounts received pursuant to
this Section 6(a)(i), such Lichtenstein Party would retain from such payments
hereunder an amount equal to its total deemed income tax liability incurred as a
result of the Taxable Disposition and recognition of Built-In Gain.

       

      (ii)           In
the event that Parent OP breaches its obligations under Section 3 or Section 4, Parent OP
and Parent REIT shall indemnify and hold harmless each Lichtenstein Party from
and against, and Parent OP and Parent REIT shall be jointly and severally liable
to each Lichtenstein Party for (x) the amount of Taxes deemed incurred by such
Lichtenstein Party with respect to the Section 752 Gain or other gain recognized
by such Lichtenstein Party as a result of such breach and (y) a “gross-up”
amount so that, after the hypothetical payment by such Lichtenstein Party of all
Taxes on amounts received pursuant to this Section 6(a)(ii), such Lichtenstein
Party would retain from such payments hereunder an amount equal to its total
deemed income tax liability incurred as a result of such breach and its
recognition of Section 752 Gain or other gain.

       

      (iii)           In
the event that Parent OP breaches its obligations under Section 5, Parent OP
and the REIT shall indemnify and hold harmless each Lichtenstein Party from and
against, and Parent OP and the REIT shall be jointly and severally liable to
each Lichtenstein Party for (x) the amount of Taxes deemed incurred by such
Lichtenstein Party as a result of, or in connection with, such breach (taking
into account all Taxes imposed with respect to items allocated to the
Lichtenstein Party as a result of allocations not permitted by Section 5) and (y) a
“gross-up” amount so that, after the hypothetical payment by such Lichtenstein
Party of all Taxes on amounts received pursuant to this Section 6(a)(iii), such
Lichtenstein Party would retain from such payments hereunder an amount equal to
its total deemed income tax liability incurred as a result of such
breach.

       

      (b)           Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, it is the understanding and the intention of
the parties hereto that Parent OP and Parent REIT shall have no liability under
this Agreement as a result of (i) any actions or failure to take actions prior
to the Closing, (ii) any change in Law or interpretation thereof after the date
hereof, (iii) the structure and effectuation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, the Contribution Agreement or any other Transaction Document or
(iv) any action taken by LVP OP or LVP REIT or any Lichtenstein Party (or
Indirect Owner) or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing (regardless of when
such action is taken). 

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          F-8

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      (c)           For
purposes of determining the amount of the deemed income Taxes incurred by each
Lichtenstein Party and the amount of the indemnity under Section 6(a), (i) all
income arising from a transaction or event that is taxable at ordinary income
rates (including, without limitation, “recapture” under Code Sections 1245 or
1250 and net short-term capital gain) under the applicable provisions of the
Code and allocable to a given Lichtenstein Party shall be treated as subject to
federal, state and local income tax at the then applicable effective tax rate
imposed on ordinary income of individuals residing in New Jersey, determined
using the maximum federal rate of tax on ordinary income and the maximum state
and local rates of tax on ordinary income then in effect in New Jersey, (ii) all
long-term capital gain arising from the transaction or event allocable to such
Lichtenstein Party shall be treated as subject to federal, state, and local
income tax at the then applicable effective tax rate imposed on long-term
capital gains of individuals residing in New Jersey, determined using the
maximum federal, state and local rates on long-term capital gains then in effect
(taking into account any special capital gains rate attributable to recapture of
prior depreciation deductions), and (iii) the benefits of the deductibility of
state and local income taxes shall be taken into account.

       

      7.           Determination of Built-In
Gain.  Prior to Closing, the Lichtenstein Parties shall provide
to Parent OP, on Schedule A, a
spreadsheet (the “Preliminary Spreadsheet”) showing their good faith estimate of
the amount of Built-In Gain with respect to the Properties as of the Closing
Dating.  Promptly following the determination of the Actual
Adjustment, the Lichtenstein Parties and Parent OP shall jointly prepare a
spreadsheet showing the amount of the Built-In Gain with respect to the
Properties as of the Closing Date, prepared on a basis consistent with the
Preliminary Spreadsheet and updated to reflect the Actual Adjustment (the
“Adjusted Spreadsheet”). Promptly following the disbursement of all amounts from
the Escrow Account, the Lichtenstein Parties and Parent OP shall jointly prepare
a spreadsheet showing the amount of the Built-In Gain with respect to the
Properties as of the Closing Date, prepared on a basis consistent with the
Adjusted Spreadsheet and updated to reflect the settlement of the Escrow (the
“Final Spreadsheet”).

       

      8.           Cooperation Regarding
Post-Closing Tax Matters.  The Lichtenstein Parties agree to,
and agree to cause their Affiliates to, cooperate and to provide such
information and assistance as may be reasonably requested by Parent OP in
connection with any tax reporting or compliance obligations of Parent OP or its
Affiliates or any obligations of Parent OP under this Agreement.  Such
cooperation shall include the provision of information required for Parent OP to
properly prepare and file any U.S. federal or state tax returns or reports
relating to the transactions contemplated in the Contribution Agreement or the
Properties and any information reasonably relevant to the determination of any
potential liability of Parent OP under Section
6.

       

      9.           Reporting.

       

      (a)           For
Federal, state and local income tax purposes, the Contributions and the
distribution of the Distributable Amount shall be reported by all parties hereto
as follows:

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          F-9

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      (i)           The
Contributions shall be treated as nontaxable contributions in exchange for
Parent OP Common Units under Section 721(a) of the Code.

       

      (ii)           The
distribution of the Distributable Amount from the proceeds of the Section 15.28
Loan shall be treated as a nontaxable distribution to a partner pursuant to
Section 731 of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.707-5(b), without
separate disclosure pursuant to Section 6662(d)(2)(B)(ii) or any other provision
of the Code or Treasury Regulations or similar provisions of state and local
law, except as required by a change in law after the date hereof; provided that, upon a
reasonable request from Parent OP or its accountant, the Lichtenstein Parties
shall provide (at Parent OP’s expense) to Parent OP, at the Lichtenstein
Parties’ election, either (i) a letter from a nationally recognized accounting
firm or law firm with expertise in U.S. federal income taxation of partnerships
addressed to Parent OP or its accountant or (ii) an opinion letter from such a
firm, which shall provide that Parent OP or its accountant is entitled to rely
on it, in each case providing the required level of comfort to Parent OP or its
accountant in order to sign the return or returns.

       

      (iii)           Pursuant
to Notice 89-35, 1989-1 C.B. 675, for purposes of applying the interest-tracing
rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-8T, the Company shall treat the
distribution of the Distributable Amount as being made from the proceeds of the
Section 15.28 Loan.

       

      10.           No Limitations After
Expiration of Term of the Agreement; Sole and Exclusive  Remedy; No
Representations or Warranties; Limitation on Rights.

       

      (a)           After
the expiration of the Protected Period with respect to any Property, (i) the
restriction set forth in Section 2 with respect to such Property shall be of no
force and effect, (ii) neither Parent OP nor the General Partner shall be under
any restriction or limitation as to the actions it can take with respect to such
Property, whether by reason of fiduciary duty or otherwise, regardless of the
tax consequences that such action (or any failure to act) might have for the
Lichtenstein Parties, and (iii) the Parent OP and the General Partner shall have
no duty to consider the tax consequences to Lichtenstein Parties of any action
(or failure to act) with respect to such Property.

       

      (b)           The
sole and exclusive remedy of Lichtenstein Parties against Parent OP and the
General Partner and any affiliates thereof with respect to any breach or alleged
or prospective breach of the covenants set forth in Sections 2, 3 or 4 shall be
to receive the payment from the Parent OP provided in Section 6 hereof, it being
intended by the parties that in no event shall any Lichtenstein Party have any
right to specific performance or equitable relief with respect to any obligation
of Parent OP under this Agreement or with respect to the breach of Section 2 any
right to money damages of any nature, consequential or otherwise, for any breach
under this Agreement, except for the specific payment provided for in Section
6(a) hereof.

       

      (c)           Lichtenstein,
individually, and each of the Lichtenstein Parties acknowledges and agrees that
none of the Parent OP, General Partner, any Affiliate of Parent OP or Parent
REIT, or any employee or officer of any of the foregoing has made or hereby
makes any representation or warranty to any Lichtenstein Party regarding the
federal income tax treatment of Parent OP (other than to the extent set forth in
the Contribution Agreement) or the federal income tax consequences of any of the
transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, including whether or
not the transfer of the Properties to Parent OP as contemplated under the
Contribution Agreement will be effective to avoid the recognition by any
taxpayer of all or any portion of the gain that otherwise would be required to
be recognized for federal income tax purposes upon a fully taxable disposition
of the Properties, and in that event the Lichtenstein Parties shall bear the
cost of all income taxes associated therewith. Each Lichtenstein Party further
acknowledges and agrees that the transactions contemplated by the Contribution
Agreement shall be treated as having occurred outside of this Agreement and,
accordingly, are not intended to be, and shall not be, covered by this
Agreement.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          F-10

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      (d)           If,
prior to the expiration of the longest Protected Period, Lichtenstein dies, then
for purposes of applying Section 6 hereof, any tax basis step-up that occurs, or
would have occurred had Lichtenstein directly held the New Company Units or the
Parent OP Common Units, as applicable, shall be taken into account in doing the
computations required under Section 6.

       

      11.           Provision of Information to
the Lichtenstein Parties.

       

      (a)           At
the time Parent OP and any entity in which Parent OP holds a direct or indirect
interest enters into an agreement to consummate a Taxable Disposition that, if
consummated, would result in the recognition by the Lichtenstein Parties of all
or any portion of their Built-In Gain, and in any case not less than thirty (30)
days prior to consummating such Taxable Disposition, Parent OP shall notify
Representative in writing of such proposed Taxable Disposition and all details
of the Taxable Disposition that are relevant to the calculation of the
indemnities set forth herein including, but not limited to (i) the Property, or
portion thereof disposed of, (ii) the amount and nature of the consideration to
be received, and (iii) the expected amount of gain (including Built-In Gain)
allocable to the Lichtenstein Parties (or their Indirect Owners, if applicable)
as a result of such Taxable Disposition.  The failure to provide any
such written notice shall not affect the amount, if any, of Parent OP’s
indemnification obligation.

       

      (b)           At
the time Parent OP and any entity in which Parent OP holds a direct or indirect
interest enters into an agreement to consummate a transaction that, if
consummated, would result in the recognition by the Lichtenstein Parties of
Section 752 Gain, and in any case not less than thirty (30) days prior to
consummating such transaction, Parent OP shall notify Representative in writing
of such proposed transaction and all details that are relevant to the
calculation of the indemnities set forth herein including, but not limited to
the expected amount of Section 752 Gain allocable to the Lichtenstein Parties
(or their Indirect Owners, if applicable) as a result of such
transaction.  The failure to provide any such written notice shall not
affect the amount, if any, of Parent OP’s indemnification
obligation.

       

      (c)           Following
a request by a Lichtenstein Party, Parent OP shall deliver to such Lichtenstein
Party (or the direct or indirect owner of such Lichtenstein Party, if
applicable) a good-faith estimate of such Person’s Capital Account and
allocation of  Partnership liabilities pursuant to each
of  Treasury Regulations Sections 1.752-2(a), 1.752-3(a)(1), (2), and
(3).  Parent OP shall have no liability (and its indemnification
obligation under this Agreement shall not be affected) if it fails to provide
any such good faith estimate or if such estimate is not accurate.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          F-11

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      12.           Contests.

       

      (a)           Nothing
in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent the General Partner from
contesting in good faith, as the tax matters partner of Parent OP in accordance
with the OP Agreement, any claim that, if successful, would result in an
indemnity payment pursuant to Section 6.

       

      (b)           The
Lichtenstein Parties shall provide written notice to Parent OP promptly after
learning of any audit or other proceeding involving a Lichtenstein Party for
which Parent OP could have an indemnification obligation under Section 6 (a
“Proceeding”).  Failure to provide prompt written notice of a
Proceeding shall preclude any indemnity hereunder to the extent Parent OP is
materially prejudiced thereby.

       

      (i)           Upon
receipt of notice of a Proceeding, Parent OP shall either (i) assume the conduct
and control of the settlement or defense of such Proceeding, and the
Lichtenstein Parties shall cooperate with Parent OP in connection therewith
(including, for example, signing a power of attorney with respect to such
Proceeding) or (ii) advise the Lichtenstein Parties that it does not wish to
control such Proceeding, in which case Parent OP shall bear all costs and
expenses of a nationally recognized law firm retained to represent the
Lichtenstein Parties in such Proceeding, which counsel shall be reasonably
acceptable to Parent OP. In either event, the party not controlling the
Proceeding shall be given the right to participate in such Proceeding, at its
own expense. So long as Parent OP is reasonably contesting any Proceeding, the
Lichtenstein Parties (or their Indirect Owners) shall not pay or settle any such
Proceeding without the consent of Parent OP, which consent may be withheld in
Parent OP’s sole discretion.  To the maximum extent possible, Parent
OP and the Lichtenstein Parties shall work together to sever the Proceeding from
any other tax issues or matters with respect to Lichtenstein
Parties.  In no event shall Parent OP be given access to the
individual tax records or returns of Lichtenstein.

       

      (ii)           Subject
to Section
12(b)(iii), (a) a final determination under Section 1313 of the Code of
the claim underlying the Proceeding shall be binding on Parent OP and the
Lichtenstein Parties and (b) if the Lichtenstein Parties are found liable for
the Taxes that were the subject of the Proceeding, and it is determined that
such Taxes were caused by Parent OP’s breach of this Agreement, Parent OP shall
promptly pay the Lichtenstein Parties the amount payable pursuant to Section 6 of this
Agreement.

       

      (iii)           Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if either Parent OP or the Lichtenstein Parties disputes the
finding with respect to causation, Parent OP shall select a nationally
recognized accounting firm or law firm experienced in tax protection matters and
reasonably acceptable to Representative (the “Dispute Firm”) to review the
indemnification claim and the applicable provisions of this
Agreement.  The Dispute Firm shall have fifteen (15) business days (or
such additional time as the Dispute Firm determines is reasonably necessary) to
review such materials and deliver to Parent OP and Representative its
determination of whether any amount is due under this Agreement.  The
determination of the Dispute Firm shall be final and binding on the parties to
this Agreement, and Parent OP shall promptly pay over to the Lichtenstein
Parties such amounts determined by the Dispute Firm to be due under this
Agreement and the Lichtenstein Parties shall have no further recourse against
Parent OP for the indemnification claim with respect to which such amounts have
been paid.  Parent OP shall bear all costs and expenses of the Dispute
Firm; provided,
the Lichtenstein Parties shall bear such costs if Parent OP is found to have no
liability pursuant to this Agreement.

      (c)           Subject
to paragraphs (a) and (b) above, the Lichtenstein Parties shall have the right
to participate in any audit, claim for refund, or administrative or judicial
proceeding involving any asserted Tax liability, refund, or adjustment to the
taxable income of any party hereto that could result in disallowance of the tax
treatment set forth in Section 9 at its own
expense.

       

      13.           Transfer of Parent OP’s
Assets.  For so long as the Lichtenstein Parties hold direct or
indirect interests in Parent OP, neither Parent OP nor its Affiliates shall
consummate a Restricted Transfer unless the transferee assumes the liabilities
and obligations of Parent OP under this Agreement; provided, that Parent OP
shall not be released from such liabilities and obligations as a result of such
assumption.

       

      14.           Termination.  This

party shall assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder to any Person without
the prior written consent of the other party, which consent such other party may
grant or withhold in its sole discretion, and any such assignment undertaken
without such consent shall be null and void.

       

      (b)           Integration,
Waiver.  This Agreement (including the Exhibits hereto)
embodies and constitutes the entire understanding among the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements,
understandings, representations and statements, whether oral or
written.  Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be
waived, modified, amended, discharged or terminated except by an instrument
signed by the party against whom the enforcement of such waiver, modification,
amendment, discharge or termination is sought, and then only to the extent set
forth in such instrument. No waiver by a party hereto of any failure or refusal
by any other party to comply with its obligations hereunder shall be deemed a
waiver of any other or subsequent failure or refusal to so comply.

       

      (c)           Governing
Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the law of the State of New York, without regard to principles
of conflicts of laws.

       

      (d)           Captions Not Binding:

      (e)           Binding Effect; No

hereto, shall have any rights against Parent OP as a result of this
Agreement.  The parties hereto further acknowledge that there are no
intended third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement.

      (f)           Severability.  If
any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any
persons or circumstances shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the
remainder of this Agreement or the application of such term or provision to
Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or
unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this
Agreement shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by
law.

any entity in which Parent OP holds a direct or indirect interest will

transfer, exchange, or other disposition of any Parent OP Common Units, or
engage in any other transaction that would result in the recognition of all or
any portion of the Built-In Gain by a LVP Party or its Indirect Owner(s) (a
“Taxable OP Unit Disposition”, and together with a Taxable Property Disposition,
a “Taxable Disposition”).

     

    (d)         For
the avoidance of doubt, a Taxable Disposition shall not include a sale,
transfer, exchange, or other disposition of any New Company Units or Parent OP
Common Units (including following a pledge of New Company Units or Parent OP
Common Units) by a LVP Party (or an Indirect Owner) or any Affiliate
thereof.

     

    3.           Obligation to Maintain and
Allocate Certain Debt.

     

    (a)         Parent
OP shall maintain the Section 15.28 Loan or the Refinancing with an outstanding

    (c)         At
all times up to and including the scheduled maturity of the Original CMBS Debt,
Parent OP shall allocate “excess nonrecourse liabilities” (as described in
Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3)) in respect of each Property subject
to the CMBS Debt to each LVP Party (through its interest in New Company) up to
the amount of such Person’s Allocable Share of the Built-In Gain with respect to
each such Property, after taking into allocations described in Treasury
Regulations Sections 1.752-3(a)(1) and 1.752-3(a)(2).

     

    (d)         The
CMBS Debt shall be allocated among the Properties in accordance with Treasury
Regulations Section 1.752-3(b).  The allocation of the CMBS Debt among
the Properties as of the Closing Date shall be set forth on Schedule
F.

     

    (e)         All
tax returns filed by Parent OP shall report the outstanding principal amount of
the Section 15.28 Loan and any Refinancing as a recourse liability allocable
solely to the LVP Parties (through their interests in New Company) to the extent
of the Guaranties or Refinancing Guaranties for purposes of Section 752 of the
Code, except as required by a change in law or a determination under Section
1313 of the Code with respect to a LVP Party after the date hereof.

     

    
      (f)         For
federal, state and local tax purposes, the Section 15.28 Loan and any
Refinancing with respect to which the LVP Parties provide Refinancing Guaranties
shall be Parent OP Debt that satisfies the requirements for treatment as a
“nonrecourse liability” for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section
1.752-1(a)(2), and would not constitute “partner nonrecourse debt” or a “partner
nonrecourse liability” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-2(b)(4) in the absence of any Guaranty or Refinancing Guaranty. For
avoidance of doubt, any “significant modification” (within the meaning of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-3(e)) of the Section 15.28 Loan or a
Refinancing occurring as a result of actions by Parent OP or any of its
Affiliates shall itself be treated as the incurrence of new indebtedness for
purposes of this Agreement and must satisfy the requirements set forth in the
previous sentence.

    

     

    4.           Guaranties; Capital
Contribution Obligations.

     

    (a)         At
all times up to and including the maturity of the Section 15.28 Loan, Parent OP
shall permit each LVP Party to maintain a Guaranty in an amount at least equal
to such Person’s Allocable Share of the Distributable Amount, as determined from
time to time.

     

    (b)         Each
LVP Party shall be given the opportunity to provide a guaranty of collection
with respect to any Refinancing that is substantially identical to the Guaranty
in all respects including the amount of the guaranty (the “Refinancing
Guaranty”) contemporaneously with the consummation of each such Refinancing, and
shall be permitted to maintain such Refinancing Guaranty at all times up to and
including the maturity of each Refinancing in an amount at least equal to such
LVP Party’s Allocable Share of Distributable Amount; provided, that Parent OP
shall have no obligation to offer the LVP Parties the opportunity to provide
Refinancing Guaranties with respect to any Refinancing consummated after the
fourth anniversary of the Closing Date; provided further, at any time after the
fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent OP shall be permitted to repay or
satisfy, in whole or in part, modify or otherwise take any actions with respect
to the 15.28 Loan or any Refinancing without limitation.

    


    
      
        
           


        

        
          G-6

          
            

          

        

        
           


        

      

    

    


    (c)         Parent
REIT shall not be an obligor with respect to the Section 15.28 Loan or any
Refinancing with respect to which the LVP Parties provide Refinancing
Guaranties.

     

    (d)         At
all times that the LVP Parties hold direct or indirect interests in Parent OP
(other than through the ownership of stock of Parent REIT), Parent OP shall
offer the LVP Parties the opportunity to enter into capital contribution
agreements substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the
“Capital Contribution Agreements”), pursuant to which the LVP Parties shall have
capital contribution obligations in respect of indebtedness of Parent OP that
would qualify as “nonrecourse liabilities” for purposes of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.752-1(a)(2) in the absence of such agreements (the “Capital
Contribution Obligations”).  The LVP Parties shall designate the
initial amounts of the Capital Contribution Obligations on the Closing Date on
Schedule E, and
such amounts shall be increased from time to time pursuant to the terms of the
Capital Contribution Agreements.1  Parent OP shall maintain sufficient
amounts of indebtedness described in the first sentence of this paragraph in
order to support the Capital Contribution Obligations, taking into account any
other similar obligations of other direct or indirect owners of Parent OP, at
all times that the LVP Parties hold direct or indirect interests in Parent
OP.

     

    (e)         If
a LVP Party declines to execute a Refinancing Guaranty that Parent OP tenders to
such LVP Party (a “LVP Guaranty Failure”), the loan to which such guaranty
opportunity relates, and any refinancing of such loan, shall no longer be
subject to the provisions of this Section 4 and, accordingly, Parent OP shall
not be required at any point in the future to offer such LVP Party an
opportunity to guaranty such Refinancing or any loan that refinances such
Refinancing.

     

    5.           Section 704(c)
Method.  Parent OP and any other entity in which Parent OP has
a direct or indirect interest shall use, to the extent permitted under the Code,
the “traditional method” (without “curative allocations”) under Treasury
Regulations Section 1.704-3(b) for purposes of making allocations under Code
Section 704(c) with respect to each Property to take into account the
book-tax disparities as of the Closing Date and with respect to any revaluation
of such Property pursuant to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f),
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), and 1.704-3(a)(6).

     

    
      
        

      

      
        	
                1

              	
                Capital Contribution Agreements
      to provide that the amount of the Capital Contribution Obligations will be
      increased as of (i) the fourth anniversary of the Closing, or, if later,
      the expiration of the Refinancing Guaranties and (ii) the repayment of the
      CMBS Debt.

    6.           Indemnification.

     

    (a)

     

    (i)           In
the event that Parent OP or New Company breaches its obligations under Section 2, Parent OP
and Parent REIT shall indemnify and hold harmless each LVP Party from and
against, and Parent OP and Parent REIT shall  be jointly and severally
liable to each LVP Party for (x) the amount of Taxes deemed incurred by such LVP
Party with respect to such LVP Party’s Allocable Share of the Built-In Gain that
is recognized as a result of such Taxable Disposition and (y) a “gross-up”
amount so that, after the hypothetical payment by such LVP Party of all Taxes on
amounts received pursuant to this Section 6(a)(i), such LVP Party would retain
from such payments hereunder an amount equal to its total deemed income tax
liability incurred as a result of the Taxable Disposition and recognition of
Built-In Gain.

     

    (ii)          In
the event that Parent OP breaches its obligations under Section 3 or Section 4, Parent OP
and Parent REIT shall indemnify and hold harmless each LVP Party from and
against, and Parent OP and Parent REIT shall be jointly and severally liable to
each LVP Party for (x) the amount of Taxes deemed incurred by such LVP Party
with respect to the Section 752 Gain or other gain recognized by such LVP Party
as a result of such breach and (y) a “gross-up” amount so that, after the
hypothetical payment by such LVP Party of all Taxes on amounts received pursuant
to this Section 6(a)(ii), such LVP Party would retain from such payments
hereunder an amount equal to its total deemed income tax liability incurred as a
result of such breach and its recognition of Section 752 Gain or other
gain.

     

    (iii)         In
the event that Parent OP breaches its obligations under Section 5, Parent OP
and the REIT shall indemnify and hold harmless each LVP Party from and against,
and Parent OP and the REIT shall be jointly and severally liable to each LVP
Party for (x) the amount of Taxes deemed incurred by such LVP Party as a result
of, or in connection with, such breach (taking into account all Taxes imposed
with respect to items allocated to the LVP Party as a result of allocations not
permitted by Section
5) and (y) a “gross-up” amount so that, after the hypothetical payment by
such LVP Party of all Taxes on amounts received pursuant to this Section
6(a)(iii), such LVP Party would retain from such payments hereunder an amount
equal to its total deemed income tax liability incurred as a result of such
breach.

     

    (b)         Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, it is the understanding and the intention of
the parties hereto that Parent OP and Parent REIT shall have no liability under
this Agreement as a result of (i) any actions or failure to take actions prior
to the Closing, (ii) any change in Law or interpretation thereof after the date
hereof, (iii) the structure and effectuation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, the Contribution Agreement or any other Transaction Document or
(iv) any action taken by LVP OP or LVP REIT or any LVP Party (or Indirect Owner)
or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing (regardless of when such action is
taken).

    


    
      
        
           


        

        
          G-8

          
            

          

        

        
           


        

      

    

    


    (c)         For
purposes of determining the amount of the deemed income Taxes incurred by each
LVP Party and the amount of the indemnity under Section 6(a), (i) all
income arising from a transaction or event that is taxable at ordinary income
rates (including, without limitation, “recapture” under Code Sections 1245 or
1250 and net short-term capital gain) under the applicable provisions of the
Code and allocable to a given LVP Party shall be treated as subject to federal,
state and local income tax at the then applicable effective tax rate imposed on
the income of corporations doing business in New Jersey, determined using the
maximum federal rate of tax on ordinary income and the maximum state and local
rates of tax on income then in effect in New Jersey and (ii) the benefits of the
deductibility of state and local income taxes shall be taken into
account.

     

    7.           Determination of Built-In
Gain.  Prior to Closing, the LVP Parties shall provide to
Parent OP, on Schedule
A, a spreadsheet (the “Preliminary Spreadsheet”) showing their good faith
estimate of the amount of Built-In Gain with respect to the Properties as of the
Closing Dating.  Promptly following the determination of the Actual
Adjustment, the LVP Parties and Parent OP shall jointly prepare a spreadsheet
showing the amount of the Built-In Gain with respect to the Properties as of the
Closing Date, prepared on a basis consistent with the Preliminary Spreadsheet
and updated to reflect the Actual Adjustment (the “Adjusted Spreadsheet”).
Promptly following the disbursement of all amounts from the Escrow Account, the
LVP Parties and Parent OP shall jointly prepare a spreadsheet showing the amount
of the Built-In Gain with respect to the Properties as of the Closing Date,
prepared on a basis consistent with the Adjusted Spreadsheet and updated to
reflect the settlement of the Escrow (the “Final Spreadsheet”).

     

    8.           Cooperation Regarding
Post-Closing Tax Matters.  The LVP Parties agree to, and agree
to cause their Affiliates to, cooperate and to provide such information and
assistance as may be reasonably requested by Parent OP in connection with any
tax reporting or compliance obligations of Parent OP or its Affiliates or any
obligations of Parent OP under this Agreement.  Such cooperation shall
include the provision of information required for Parent OP to properly prepare
and file any U.S. federal or state tax returns or reports relating to the
transactions contemplated in the Contribution Agreement or the Properties and
any information reasonably relevant to the determination of any potential
liability of Parent OP under Section
6.

     

    9.           Reporting.

     

    (a)         For
Federal, state and local income tax purposes, the Contributions and the
distribution of the Distributable Amount shall be reported by all parties hereto
as follows:

     

    (i)           The
Contributions shall be treated as nontaxable contributions in exchange for
Parent OP Common Units under Section 721(a) of the Code.

     

    (ii)          The
distribution of the Distributable Amount from the proceeds of the Section 15.28
Loan shall be treated as a nontaxable distribution to a partner pursuant to
Section 731 of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.707-5(b), without
separate disclosure pursuant to Section 6662(d)(2)(B)(ii) or any other provision
of the Code or Treasury Regulations or similar provisions of state and local
law, except as required by a change in law after the date hereof; provided that, upon a
reasonable request from Parent OP or its accountant, the LVP Parties shall
provide (at Parent OP’s expense) to Parent OP, at the LVP Parties’ election,
either (i) a letter from a nationally recognized accounting firm or law firm
with expertise in U.S. federal income taxation of partnerships addressed to
Parent OP or its accountant or (ii) an opinion letter from such a firm, which
shall provide that Parent OP or its accountant is entitled to rely on it, in
each case providing the required level of comfort to Parent OP or its accountant
in order to sign the return or returns.

    (iii)         Pursuant
to Notice 89-35, 1989-1 C.B. 675, for purposes of applying the interest-tracing
rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-8T, the Company shall treat the
distribution of the Distributable Amount as being made from the proceeds of the
Section 15.28 Loan.

     

    10.         No Limitations After
Expiration of Term of the Agreement; Sole and Exclusive Remedy; No
Representations or Warranties; Limitation on Rights.

     

    (a)         After
the expiration of the Protected Period with respect to any Property, (i) the
restriction set forth in Section 2 with respect to such Property shall be of no
force and effect, (ii) neither Parent OP nor the General Partner shall be under
any restriction or limitation as to the actions it can take with respect to such
Property, whether by reason of fiduciary duty or otherwise, regardless of the
tax consequences that such action (or any failure to act) might have for the LVP
Parties, and (iii) the Parent OP and the General Partner shall have no duty to
consider the tax consequences to LVP Parties of any action (or failure to act)
with respect to such Property.

     

    (b)         The
sole and exclusive remedy of LVP Parties against Parent OP and the General
Partner and any affiliates thereof with respect to any breach or alleged or
prospective breach of the covenants set forth in Sections 2, 3 or 4 shall be to
receive the payment from the Parent OP provided in Section 6 hereof, it being
intended by the parties that in no event shall any LVP Party have any right to
specific performance or equitable relief with respect to any obligation of
Parent OP under this Agreement or with respect to the breach of Section 2 any
right to money damages of any nature, consequential or otherwise, for any breach
under this Agreement, except for the specific payment provided for in Section
6(a) hereof.

     

    (c)         Each
of the LVP Parties acknowledges and agrees that none of the Parent OP, General
Partner, any Affiliate of Parent OP or Parent REIT, or any employee or officer
of any of the foregoing has made or hereby makes any representation or warranty
to any LVP Party regarding the federal income tax treatment of Parent OP (other
than to the extent set forth in the Contribution Agreement) or the federal
income tax consequences of any of the transactions contemplated by the
Contribution Agreement, including whether or not the transfer of the Properties
to Parent OP as contemplated under the Contribution Agreement will be effective
to avoid the recognition by any taxpayer of all or any portion of the gain that
otherwise would be required to be recognized for federal income tax purposes
upon a fully taxable disposition of the Properties, and in that event the LVP
Parties shall bear the cost of all income taxes associated therewith. Each LVP
Party further acknowledges and agrees that the transactions contemplated by the
Contribution Agreement shall be treated as having occurred outside of this
Agreement and, accordingly, are not intended to be, and shall not be, covered by
this Agreement.

    11.         Provision of Information to
the LVP Parties.

     

    (a)         At
the time Parent OP and any entity in which Parent OP holds a direct or indirect
interest enters into an agreement to consummate a Taxable Disposition that, if
consummated, would result in the recognition by the LVP Parties of all or any
portion of their Built-In Gain, and in any case not less than thirty (30) days
prior to consummating such Taxable Disposition, Parent OP shall notify
Representative in writing of such proposed Taxable Disposition and all details
of the Taxable Disposition that are relevant to the calculation of the
indemnities set forth herein including, but not limited to (i) the Property, or
portion thereof disposed of, (ii) the amount and nature of the consideration to
be received, and (iii) the expected amount of gain (including Built-In Gain)
allocable to the LVP Parties (or their Indirect Owners, if applicable) as a
result of such Taxable Disposition.  The failure to provide any such
written notice shall not affect the amount, if any, of Parent OP’s
indemnification obligation.

     

    (b)         At
the time Parent OP and any entity in which Parent OP holds a direct or indirect
interest enters into an agreement to consummate a transaction that, if
consummated, would result in the recognition by the LVP Parties of Section 752
Gain, and in any case not less than thirty (30) days prior to consummating such
transaction, Parent OP shall notify Representative in writing of such proposed
transaction and all details that are relevant to the calculation of the
indemnities set forth herein including, but not limited to the expected amount
of Section 752 Gain allocable to the LVP Parties (or their Indirect Owners, if
applicable) as a result of such transaction.  The failure to provide
any such written notice shall not affect the amount, if any, of Parent OP’s
indemnification obligation.

     

    (c)         Following
a request by a LVP Party, Parent OP shall deliver to such LVP Party (or the
direct or indirect owner of such LVP Party, if applicable) a good-faith estimate
of such Person’s Capital Account and allocation of  Partnership
liabilities pursuant to each of  Treasury Regulations Sections
1.752-2(a), 1.752-3(a)(1), (2), and (3).  Parent OP shall have no
liability (and its indemnification obligation under this Agreement shall not be
affected) if it fails to provide any such good faith estimate or if such
estimate is not accurate.

     

    12.         Contests.

     

    (a)         Nothing
in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent the General Partner from
contesting in good faith, as the tax matters partner of Parent OP in accordance
with the OP Agreement, any claim that, if successful, would result in an
indemnity payment pursuant to Section 6.

     

    (b)         The
LVP Parties shall provide written notice to Parent OP promptly after learning of
any audit or other proceeding involving a LVP Party for which Parent OP could
have an indemnification obligation under Section 6 (a “Proceeding”).  Failure
to provide prompt written notice of a Proceeding shall preclude any indemnity
hereunder to the extent Parent OP is materially prejudiced thereby.

     

    (i)           Upon
receipt of notice of a Proceeding, Parent OP shall either (i) assume the conduct
and control of the settlement or defense of such Proceeding, and the LVP Parties
shall cooperate with Parent OP in connection therewith (including, for example,
signing a power of attorney with respect to such Proceeding) or (ii) advise the
LVP Parties that it does not wish to control such Proceeding, in which case
Parent OP shall bear all costs and expenses of a nationally recognized law firm
retained to represent the LVP Parties in such Proceeding, which counsel shall be
reasonably acceptable to Parent OP. In either event, the party not controlling
the Proceeding shall be given the right to participate in such Proceeding, at
its own expense. So long as Parent OP is reasonably contesting any Proceeding,
the LVP Parties (or their Indirect Owners) shall not pay or settle any such
Proceeding without the consent of Parent OP, which consent may be withheld in
Parent OP’s sole discretion.

    


    
      
        
           


        

        
          G-11

          
            

          

        

        
           


        

      

    

    


    (ii)          Subject
to Section
12(b)(iii), (a) a final determination under Section 1313 of the Code of
the claim underlying the Proceeding shall be binding on Parent OP and the LVP
Parties and (b) if the LVP Parties are found liable for the Taxes that were the
subject of the Proceeding, and it is determined that such Taxes were caused by
Parent OP’s breach of this Agreement, Parent OP shall promptly pay the LVP
Parties the amount payable pursuant to Section 6 of this
Agreement.

     

    (iii)         Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if either Parent OP or the LVP Parties disputes the finding with
respect to causation, Parent OP shall select a nationally recognized accounting
firm or law firm experienced in tax protection matters and reasonably acceptable
to Representative (the “Dispute Firm”) to review the indemnification claim and
the applicable provisions of this Agreement.  The Dispute Firm shall
have fifteen (15) business days (or such additional time as the Dispute Firm
determines is reasonably necessary) to review such materials and deliver to
Parent OP and Representative its determination of whether any amount is due
under this Agreement.  The determination of the Dispute Firm shall be
final and binding on the parties to this Agreement, and Parent OP shall promptly
pay over to the LVP Parties such amounts determined by the Dispute Firm to be
due under this Agreement and the LVP Parties shall have no further recourse
against Parent OP for the indemnification claim with respect to which such
amounts have been paid.  Parent OP shall bear all costs and expenses
of the Dispute Firm; provided, the LVP
Parties shall bear such costs if Parent OP is found to have no liability
pursuant to this Agreement.

     

    (c)         Subject
to paragraphs (a) and (b) above, the LVP Parties shall have the right to
participate in any audit, claim for refund, or administrative or judicial
proceeding involving any asserted Tax liability, refund, or adjustment to the
taxable income of any party hereto that could result in disallowance of the tax
treatment set forth in Section 9 at its own
expense.

     

    13.         Transfer of Parent OP’s
Assets.  For so long as the LVP Parties hold direct or indirect
interests in Parent OP, neither Parent OP nor its Affiliates shall consummate a
Restricted Transfer unless the transferee assumes the liabilities and
obligations of Parent OP under this Agreement; provided, that Parent OP shall
not be released from such liabilities and obligations as a result of such
assumption.

    


    
      
        
           


        

        
          G-12

          
            

          

        

        
           


        

      

    

    


    14.         Assumption of Existing Tax
Protection Agreements.  Parent OP and Parent REIT shall
indemnify and hold harmless LVP OP, LVP REIT, each LVP Party, each Lichtenstein
Party, or any of their Affiliates from and against, and Parent OP and Parent
REIT shall be jointly and severally liable for all liabilities and obligations
arising under the Tax Protection Agreements set forth on Schedule G (such
Agreements, the “TPAs”)  solely
as a result of Parent OP, Parent REIT or any of their Affiliates (including the
Company) taking an action or failing to take an action after the Closing that
triggers an indemnification obligation under a TPA (such liabilities and
obligations, the “Parent TPA
Obligations”).  For the avoidance of doubt, the Parent TPA
Obligations shall not include any liabilities or obligations under the TPAs with
respect to (a) the structure of the contributions and debt arrangements that are
the subject of the TPAs, (b) any transactions occurring prior to the Closing,
(c) the structure and effectuation of the transactions contemplated by the
Contribution Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (d) any actions taken
by any Member of the New Company, LVP OP or LVP REIT (regardless of when such
action is taken), or (e) a change in Law or interpretation thereof after the
date hereof.  The LVP OP and LVP REIT shall indemnify and hold
harmless Parent OP from and against and LVP OP and LVP REIT shall be jointly and
severally liable for any liability arising under the TPAs that is not a Parent
TPA Obligation (“Non-Parent TPA
Obligations”).  The Non-Parent TPA Obligations shall not be
subject to any limitations, including without limitation, the limitations on
indemnification described in Article 10 of the Contribution
Agreement.

     

    15.         Termination.  This
Agreement shall terminate and shall become void, and there shall be no liability
on the part of any party hereto, in the event that the Contribution Agreement
shall terminate pursuant to its terms prior to the Closing.

     

    16.         Miscellaneous
Provisions.

     

    (a)         Assignment.  No
party shall assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder to any Person without
the prior written consent of the other party, which consent such other party may
grant or withhold in its sole discretion, and any such assignment undertaken
without such consent shall be null and void.

     

    (b)         Integration,

    Annex E

     

    
      The
Company shall be required to expend up to $60 million to obtain the Required
Consents (20% of which will be paid by Parent OP; provided that if the
total amount expended by the Company to obtain the Required Consents is less
than $60 million, Parent OP shall pay a portion of the Company’s other deal
expenses equal to the difference between $12 million and 20% of the aggregate
amount so expended).

       

      The
Company may take certain other actions, at its election, to obtain the Required
Consents.

       

      To the
extent required to obtain the Required Consents, Parent OP will agree to cause
the Group Companies to be bound by covenants not to incur additional debt if
their aggregate net worth, after giving effect to such borrowings, would not
equal or exceed the aggregate net worth of the Group Companies immediately
following the Closing, after giving effect to and assuming the repayment of all
of the outstanding Floating Rate Debt (other than with respect to Puerto
Rico).

       

      If,
following negotiation with the servicers of the Second Horizon CMBS, TOW CMBS
and Mega Deal CMBS, it is not possible to obtain the Required Consents unless
Parent OP does so (and subject to compliance by the Company in all material
respects with Section
6.4(b), including not having discussions with any servicer or other
relevant party without Parent OP’s advance notice and participation), Parent OP
will agree to post (or cause an Affiliate to post) letters of credit in amounts
not to exceed 10% of the principal amount of each of the Second Horizon CMBS,
TOW CMBS and the Mega Deal CMBS until the scheduled maturity of such debt and
consents to the TOW CMBS becoming recourse to the Company; provided, that the
Company shall be responsible for the cost thereof, which shall be treated as a
Company Transaction Expense.

       

      Parent OP
will cause one of its entities to serve as substitute guarantors for the bad-boy
guarantee(s) issued by David Lichtenstein with respect to the Mega Deal CMBS and
Lightstone Holdings with respect to St. Augustine CMBS with respect to actions
or events occurring after the Closing acceptable to the
servicer.  Parent OP will cause one of its entities to serve as
substitute indemnitor for the environmental indemnities issued by David
Lichtenstein with respect to Mega Deal CMBS and Lightstone Holdings with respect
to St. Augustine CMBS.  Parent OP will agree to make all of the
economic value and assets of the Other Group Companies available as credit
support for the Facilities.  Parent OP will agree to put up customary
escrows for tenant allowances, effective immediately following the
Closing.  In the event that obtaining the Required Consents will cost
in excess of $60 million, either party may pay the excess and force the other to
close (subject to satisfaction or waiver of all other applicable conditions to
closing), it being understood that a party shall not be entitled to
indemnification pursuant to Article 10 with respect to any excess amount
expended pursuant to this sentence.
