INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

 

THIS INDEMNIFICATION
AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of the day of November, 2010 by
and between General Growth Properties, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
and (the “Indemnitee”).

 

WHEREAS, directors,
officers, and other persons in service to corporations or business enterprises
are being increasingly subjected to expensive and time-consuming litigation
relating to, among other things, matters that traditionally would have been
brought only against the Company or business enterprise itself;

 

WHEREAS, highly competent
persons have become more reluctant to serve corporations as directors, officers
or in other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection
through insurance or adequate indemnification against risks of claims and
actions against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf
of the corporation;

 

WHEREAS, the Board of
Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) has determined that
the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining such persons is
detrimental to the best interests of the Company’s stockholders and that the
Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased
certainty of such protection in the future;

 

WHEREAS, it is reasonable,
prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to
indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve
the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified;

 

WHEREAS, although the
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Certificate”)
and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”)
require indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company under the
circumstances specified therein, and Indemnitee may also be entitled to
indemnification pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware (“DGCL”), the Certificate, the Bylaws and the DGCL expressly
provide that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not
exclusive, and authorize the Company to enter into contracts between the
Company and members of the board of directors, officers and other persons with
respect to indemnification; and

 

WHEREAS, this Agreement is a
supplement to and in furtherance of the Certificate and the Bylaws and any
resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be deemed a substitute
therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of Indemnitee’s agreement to serve or continue serving as a
director or officer, or both, of the Company after the date hereof, the parties
hereto agree as follows:

 

 

1.             Definitions.  For purposes of this Agreement:

of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) on
Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or in response to any similar item on any
similar schedule or form) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Act”), whether or not the Company is then subject
to such reporting requirement; provided, however, that, without
limitation, a Change in Control shall include: (i) the acquisition (other
than acquisition by or from the Company) after the date hereof by any person,
entity or “group,” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of
the Act (excluding, for this purpose, the Company or its subsidiaries, any
employee benefit plan of the Company or its subsidiaries that acquires
beneficial ownership of voting securities of the Company, and any qualified
institutional investor that meets the requirements of Rule 13d-1(b)(1) promulgated
under the Act) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the Act), of 50% or more of either the then-outstanding
shares of common stock or the combined voting power of the Company’s
then-outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors; (ii) individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the
Board of Directors (the “Incumbent Board”) ceasing for any reason to
constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors, provided that any
person becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or
nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of
at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board (other
than an election or nomination of an individual whose initial assumption of
office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest relating
to the election of the directors of the Company) shall be, for purposes of this
Agreement, considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent
Board; or (iii) approval by the stockholders of the Company of (A) a
reorganization, merger or consolidation, in each case, with respect to which
persons who were the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such
reorganization, merger or consolidation do not, immediately thereafter, own
more than 50% of the combined voting power entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors of the reorganized, merged, consolidated or other
surviving corporation’s then-outstanding voting securities, (B) a
liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or (C) the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company.

 

(b)           “Corporate Status”
describes the status of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee,
agent or fiduciary of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership,
limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise that such person is or was serving in a similar capacity at the
written request of the Company.

 

(c)           “Disinterested Director”
means a director of the Company who is not and was not a party to the
Proceeding in respect of which indemnification or advancement is sought by
Indemnitee.

 

(d)           “Enterprise” shall

(e)           “Expenses” shall
include all reasonable attorneys’ fees, retainers, disbursements of counsel,
court costs, filing fees, transcript costs, fees and expenses of experts,
witness fees and expenses, travel expenses, duplicating and imaging costs,
printing and binding costs, telephone charges, facsimile transmission charges,
computer legal research costs, postage, delivery service fees and all other
disbursements or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with
prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating,
participating, or being or preparing to be a witness in a Proceeding, as well
as all other “expenses” within the meaning of that term as used in Section 145
of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and all other
disbursements or expenses of types customarily and reasonably incurred in
connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend,
investigating, being or preparing to be a witness in, or otherwise participating
in, actions, suits, or proceedings similar to or of the same type as the
Proceeding with respect to which such disbursements or expenses were incurred;
but, notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, “Expenses”
shall not include amounts of judgments, penalties, or fines actually levied
against the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding.  Expenses also shall include the foregoing
incurred in connection with any appeal resulting from any Proceeding, including
without limitation the premium, security for, and other costs relating to any
cost bond, supersedeas bond, or other appeal bond or its equivalent.

 

(f)            “Independent Counsel”
means a law firm, a member of a law firm or an independent practitioner that is
experienced in matters of corporation law and indemnification issues and
neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to
represent:  (i) the Company or
Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party (other than with respect
to matters concerning Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other indemnitees
under similar indemnification agreements), or (ii) any other party to the
Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent
Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of
professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in
representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine
Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.

 

(g)           “Proceeding” includes
any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate

investigation), inquiry, administrative hearing or any other actual, threatened
or completed proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of the Company or
otherwise and whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in
which Indemnitee was, is or will be involved as a party or otherwise, by reason
of the fact that Indemnitee is or was an officer or director of the Company, by
reason of any action taken by Indemnitee or of any inaction on such Indemnitee’s
part while acting as an officer or director of the Company, or by reason of the
fact that such Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a
director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other Enterprise; in each case whether or
not he is acting or serving in any such capacity at the time any liability or
expense is incurred for which indemnification can be provided under this
Agreement; including one pending on or before the date of this Agreement, but
excluding one initiated by an Indemnitee pursuant to Section 8 of
this Agreement to enforce such Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.

 

3

 

(h)           References herein to “fines”
shall not include any excise tax assessed with respect to any employee benefit
plan.

 

(i)            References herein to a
director of another Enterprise or a director of an other Enterprise shall
include, in the case of any entity that is not managed by a board of directors,
such other position, such as manager or trustee or member of the governing body
of such entity, that entails responsibility for the management and direction of
such entity’s affairs, including, without limitation, the general partner of
any partnership (general or limited) and the manager or managing member of any
limited liability company.

 

(j)            (i) References herein
to serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee,
agent, or fiduciary of another Enterprise shall include any service as a
director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company that imposes duties on, or
involves services by, such director or officer with respect to an employee
benefit plan of the Company or any of its affiliates, other than solely as a
participant or beneficiary of such a plan; and (ii) if the Indemnitee has
acted in good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in
the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan,
the Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in a manner not opposed to the
best interests of the Company for purposes of this Agreement.

 

2.             Indemnity of Indemnitee.  The Company hereby agrees to hold harmless
and indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as
such may be amended from time to time. 
In furtherance of the foregoing indemnification, and without limiting
the generality thereof:

 

(a)           Proceedings Other Than
Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company.  Except as provided in Section 10
hereof, Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification
provided in this Section 2(a) if, by reason of Indemnitee’s
Corporate Status, the Indemnitee is or was, or is or was threatened to be made,
a party to or is otherwise involved in any Proceeding other than a Proceeding
by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor.  Pursuant to this Section 2(a), Indemnitee
shall be indemnified against all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines,
liabilities and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by
Indemnitee, or on Indemnitee’s behalf, in connection with such Proceeding or
any claim, issue or matter therein, but only if the Indemnitee acted in good
faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal
Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the Indemnitee’s conduct was
unlawful.

 

(b)           Proceedings by or in the
Right of the Company.  Except as
provided in Section 10 hereof, Indemnitee shall be entitled to the
rights of indemnification provided in this Section 2(b) if, by
reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, the Indemnitee is or was, or is or was
threatened to be made, a party to or is or was otherwise involved in any
Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in
its favor.  Pursuant to this Section 2(b), Indemnitee
shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by
the Indemnitee, or on the Indemnitee’s behalf, in connection with such
Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, but only if the Indemnitee
acted in good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the Company; 

 

4

 

provided, however,
if applicable law so provides, no indemnification for such Expenses shall be
made in respect of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding as to which
the Indemnitee shall have been adjudged liable to the Company unless (and only
to the extent that) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court
in which such Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of
the case, the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for
such Expenses that the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

 

(c)           Overriding Right to
Indemnification if Successful on the Merits.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is or was, by reason of Indemnitee’s
Corporate Status or otherwise, a party to and is or was successful, on the
merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, he shall be indemnified to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law, as such may be amended from time to time,
against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on
Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith. 
If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is
successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all
claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, as such may be
amended from time to time, against all Expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with each
successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. 
For purposes of this Section and without limitation, the
termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal,
with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such
claim, issue or matter.

 

3.             Additional Indemnity.  In addition to, and without regard to any
limitations on, the indemnification provided for in Section 2 of
this Agreement, the Company shall and hereby does, to the fullest extent
permissible under applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee
against all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines, liabilities and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s
behalf if, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, he is, or is threatened
to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding (including a Proceeding
by or in the right of the Company), including, without limitation, all
liability arising out of the negligence or active or passive wrongdoing of
Indemnitee.  The only limitation that
shall exist upon the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall be
that the Company shall not be obligated to make any payment to Indemnitee that
is finally determined (under the procedures, and subject to the presumptions,
set forth in Section 7 and Section 8 hereof) to be
unlawful.

 

4.             Contribution.

 

(a)           To the fullest extent
permissible under applicable law, whether or not the indemnification provided
in Section 2 and Section 3 hereof is available, in
respect of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in
which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in
such action, suit or proceeding), the Company shall pay, in the first instance,
the entire amount of any judgment or settlement of such action, suit or
proceeding without requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment, and the
Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have
against Indemnitee.  The Company shall
not enter into any settlement of any action, suit or proceeding in which the
Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such
action, suit or 

 

5

 

proceeding) unless such
settlement provides for a full and final release of all claims asserted against
Indemnitee.

 

(b)           To the fullest extent
permissible under applicable law, without diminishing or impairing the
obligations of the Company set forth in the preceding subparagraph, if, for any
reason, Indemnitee shall elect or be required to pay all or any portion of
any judgment or settlement in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit
or proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would
be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), the Company shall contribute
to the amount of Expenses, judgments, fines, liabilities and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee
in proportion to the relative benefits received by the Company and all
officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who are
jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or
proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, from the
transaction from which such action, suit or proceeding arose; provided, however,
that the proportion determined on the basis of relative benefit may, to the
extent necessary to conform to law, be further adjusted by reference to the
relative fault of the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the
Company, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or
would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), on the one hand, and
Indemnitee, on the other hand, in connection with the events that resulted in
such Expenses, judgments, fines, liabilities or settlement amounts, as well as
any other equitable considerations which the law may require to be
considered.  The relative fault of the
Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than
Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in
such action, suit or proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other
hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the degree to which
their actions were motivated by intent to gain personal profit or advantage,
the degree to which their liability is primary or secondary and the degree to
which their conduct is active or passive.

 

(c)           The Company hereby agrees to
fully indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless from any claim of contribution
brought by officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than
Indemnitee, who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee.

 

(d)           To the fullest extent
permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this
Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company,
in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by
Indemnitee, whether for judgments, fines, liabilities, penalties, excise taxes,
amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection
with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such
proportion as the Board of Directors deems fair and reasonable in light of all
of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the
relative benefits received by the Company (together with its directors,
officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or
transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the
relative fault of the Company (and its directors, officers, employees and
agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or
transaction(s).

 

5.             Indemnification for Expenses
of a Witness. 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent
that Indemnitee is or was, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status or
otherwise, a witness, or is or was made (or asked) to respond to discovery
requests, in 

 

6

 

any Proceeding to which
Indemnitee is not a party, he shall be indemnified to the fullest extent
permissible under applicable law against all Expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith.

 

6.             Advancement of Expenses.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, but subject to Section 9(e) hereof, the Company
shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection
with any Proceeding by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status or otherwise
within thirty (30) calendar days after the receipt by the Company of a
statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances
from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such
Proceeding.  Such statement or statements
shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee
and for which advancement is requested, and shall include or be preceded or
accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay any Expenses
advanced if it shall finally be determined (under the procedures, and subject
to the presumptions, set forth in Section 7 and Section 8
hereof) that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such
Expenses.  Such undertaking shall be
sufficient for purposes of this Section 6 if it is substantially in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.  Any advances and undertakings to repay
pursuant to this Section 6 shall be unsecured and
interest-free.  The Indemnitee shall be entitled to advancement of Expenses
as provided in this Section 6 regardless of any determination by or
on behalf of the Company that the Indemnitee has not met the standards of
conduct set forth in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) hereof.

 

7.             Procedures and Presumptions
for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.  It is the intent of this Agreement to secure
for Indemnitee rights of indemnity that are as favorable as may be permitted
under the DGCL and public policy of the State of Delaware.  Accordingly, the parties agree that the following
procedures and presumptions shall apply in the event of any question as to
whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement:

 

(a)           Indemnitee shall give the
Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any claim made against
Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this
Agreement.  To obtain indemnification
under this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written
request for indemnification, including therein or therewith, except to the
extent previously provided to the Company in connection with a request or
requests for advancement pursuant to Section 6 hereof, a statement
or statements reasonably evidencing all Expenses incurred or paid by or on
behalf of the Indemnitee and for which indemnification is requested, together
with such documentation and information as is reasonably available to
Indemnitee and as is reasonably necessary for the Company to determine whether
and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification.  The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly
upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board of
Directors in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.  Failure to provide any notice required hereby
shall not impair Indemnitee’s rights of indemnification and contribution under
this Agreement except to the extent that such failure to provide notice
actually and materially prejudices the rights of the Company to defend any
action or proceeding which is the basis of the claimed indemnification.

 

7

 

(b)           Upon written request by Indemnitee for
indemnification pursuant to the second sentence of Section 7(a) hereof,
a determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made
by the following person or persons, who shall be empowered to make such
determination: (i) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, by
Independent Counsel (unless Indemnitee shall request in writing that such
determination be made by the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) in the
manner provided for in clause (ii) of this Section 7(b)) in a
written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered
to Indemnitee; or (ii) if a Change of Control shall not have occurred, (A)(1) by
Independent Counsel, if Indemnitee shall request in writing that such
determination be made by Independent Counsel upon making Indemnitee’s request
for indemnification pursuant to the second sentence of Section 7(a),
(2) by the Board
of Directors of the Company, by a majority vote of Disinterested Directors even
though less than a quorum, or (3) by a committee of Disinterested
Directors designated by majority vote of Disinterested Directors, even though
less than a quorum, or (B) if there are no such Disinterested Directors
or, even if there are such Disinterested Directors, if the Board of Directors,
by the majority vote of Disinterested Directors, so directs, by Independent
Counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall
be delivered to Indemnitee.

 

(c)           If the determination of
entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to
Section 7(b) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected
by the Board of Directors and approved by Indemnitee.  Upon failure of the Board of Directors to so
select, or upon the failure of Indemnitee to so approve, such Independent
Counsel within 20 days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for
indemnification pursuant to Section 7(a) hereof, the Independent
Counsel shall be selected by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or
such other person or body as the Indemnitee and the Company may agree in
writing.  Such determination of
entitlement to indemnification shall be made not later than forty-five (45)
days after receipt by the Company of a written request for
indemnification.  If the person making
such determination shall determine that Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification as to part (but not all) of the application for indemnification,
such person shall reasonably pro-rate such part of indemnification among such
claims, issues or matters.  If it is so
determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to
Indemnitee shall be made within ten (10) days after such determination.  The Company shall pay any and all reasonable
fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel
in connection with acting pursuant to Section 7(b) hereof, and the
Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures
of this Section 7(c), regardless of the manner in which such
Independent Counsel was selected or appointed.

 

(d)           In connection with any
determination (including a determination by the Court of Chancery of the State
of Delaware (or other court of competent jurisdiction)) with respect to
entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the burden of proof shall be on the
Company to establish that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification and any
decision that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification must be supported
by clear and convincing evidence.  The
failure of the Company (including by its directors or Independent Counsel) to
have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to
this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because
Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, or an actual
determination by the Company (including by its directors or Independent
Counsel) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall
not 

 

8

 

be a defense to the action
or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of
conduct.

 

(e)           In making a determination
with respect to whether Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner that
Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the Company, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall
presume that Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner that Indemnitee
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company.  Anyone seeking to overcome this
presumption shall have the burden of proof and any decision that Indemnitee is
not entitled to indemnification must be supported by clear and convincing
evidence.  In addition, and in no way
limiting the provisions of this Section 7, Indemnitee shall be deemed
to have acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Enterprise, or with respect
to any criminal action or proceeding to have had no reasonable cause to believe
Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful, if Indemnitee’s action is based on (i) the
records or books of account of the Enterprise, (ii) information supplied
to Indemnitee by the officers of the Enterprise in the course of their duties, (iii) the
advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or (iv) information or records
given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public
accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by
the Enterprise; provided, however, that any failure by Indemnitee
to act on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise shall not, in and of
itself, constitute grounds for an adverse determination with respect to whether
Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner that Indemnitee reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company.  In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or
failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Enterprise
shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to
indemnification under this Agreement.

 

(f)            If the person, persons or
entity empowered or selected under this Section 7 to determine
whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a
determination within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the
request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification
shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such
indemnification absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material
fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s
statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for
indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under
applicable law; provided, however, that such sixty (60) day
period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional
thirty (30) days, if the person, persons or entity making such determination
with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such
additional time to obtain or evaluate documentation and/or information relating
thereto and so notifies the Indemnitee.

 

(g)           Indemnitee shall cooperate
with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to
Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such
person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or
information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and
which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such
determination.  Any Independent Counsel
or member of the Board of Directors shall act reasonably and in good faith in
making a determination regarding the Indemnitee’s entitlement to
indemnification under this Agreement. 
Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements)
incurred by 

 

9

 

Indemnitee in so cooperating
with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by
the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement
to indemnification) and the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold
Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

 

(h)           The Company acknowledges
that a settlement or other disposition short of final judgment may be
successful if it permits a party to avoid expense, delay, distraction,
disruption and uncertainty.  In the event
that any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is or becomes a party is resolved in
any manner other than by adverse judgment against Indemnitee (including,
without limitation, settlement of such action, claim or proceeding with or
without payment of money or other consideration) it shall be presumed that
Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in such
Proceeding.  Anyone seeking to overcome
this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by
clear and convincing evidence.

 

(i)            The termination of any
Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order,
settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent,
shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself
adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification under this
Agreement or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and
in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that
Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was
unlawful.

 

8.             Remedies of Indemnitee.

 

(a)           In the event that (i) a
determination is made pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement that
Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement
of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 6 of this
Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification is
made pursuant to Section 7(b) of this Agreement within ninety
(90) days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment
of indemnification is not made pursuant to this Agreement within fifty-five
(55) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor or (v) payment
of indemnification is not made within ten (10) days after a determination
has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or such
determination is deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 7 of
this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in an
appropriate court of the State of Delaware, or in any other court of competent
jurisdiction, of Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification and/or
advancement of Expenses.  The Company
shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication.

 

(b)           In the event that a
determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 7(b) of
this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial
proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 8 shall be conducted
in all respects as a de novo trial on the merits, and Indemnitee shall not be
prejudiced by reason of the adverse determination under Section 7(b).

 

(c)           If a determination shall
have been made pursuant to Section 7(b) of this Agreement that
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such
determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 8,
absent (i) a 

 

10

 

misstatement by Indemnitee
of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make
Indemnitee’s misstatement not materially misleading in connection with the
application for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such
indemnification under applicable law.

 

(d)           In the event that (a) the Indemnitee commences
a proceeding seeking (1) to establish or enforce the Indemnitee’s
entitlement to indemnification or advancement pursuant to this Agreement, (2) to
otherwise enforce Indemnitee’s rights under or to interpret the terms of this
Agreement, (3) to recover damages for breach of this Agreement, (4) to
establish or enforce Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification or advancement
pursuant to the Certificate or the Bylaws, or (5) to enforce or interpret
the terms of any liability insurance policy maintained by the Company (each
such proceeding an “Indemnitee Enforcement Proceeding”), or (b) the
Company commences a proceeding against the Indemnitee seeking (1) to
recover, pursuant to an undertaking or otherwise, amounts previously advanced
to Indemnitee, (2) to enforce the Company’s rights under or to interpret
the terms of this Agreement, or (3) to recover damages for breach of this
Agreement (each such proceeding a “Company Enforcement Proceeding” and
together with each form of Indemnitee Enforcement Proceeding, an “Enforcement
Proceeding”), then the Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the
Company, and shall be indemnified by the Company against, any and all Expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of such Indemnitee in
connection with such Enforcement Proceeding, provided, however,
if applicable law so provides, no indemnification against such Expenses shall
be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding on which
Indemnitee does not prevail, unless (and only to the extent that) the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such Proceeding was
brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication in
respect of such claim, issue or matter but in view of all the circumstances of
the case, the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for
such Expenses that the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem
proper.  The Company also shall be
required to advance all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by or on
behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with any Enforcement Proceeding in
advance of the final disposition of such Enforcement Proceeding within thirty
(30) days after the receipt by the Company of a written request for such
advance or advances from time to time, which request shall include or be
accompanied by a statement or statements reasonably evidencing the Expenses
incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee and for which advancement is
requested; provided, however, that any such advancement shall be
made only after the Company receives an undertaking by or on behalf of the
Indemnitee to repay any Expenses so advanced if it shall be finally determined
that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses.

 

(e)           The Company shall be
precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 8
that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding
and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court that the Company is bound
by all the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(f)            Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement to
indemnification under this Agreement shall be required to be made prior to the
final disposition of the Proceeding.

 

11

 

9.             Non-Exclusivity;
Survival of Rights; Insurance; Subrogation.

 

(a)           The rights of
indemnification as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of
any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under
applicable law, the Certificate, the Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of
stockholders, a resolution of directors or otherwise.  No amendment, alteration or repeal of this
Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of
Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by
such Indemnitee in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status or otherwise prior to such
amendment, alteration or repeal.  To the
extent that a change in the DGCL or applicable law, whether by statute or
judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement than would be
afforded currently under the Certificate, the Bylaws and this Agreement, it is
the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement
the greater benefits so afforded by such change.  No right or remedy herein conferred is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right
and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy
given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
otherwise.  The assertion or employment
of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the
concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, the indemnification and contribution provided for in this
Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of Indemnitee or any of Indemnitee’s agents.

 

(b)           To the extent that the
Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance
for directors, officers, employees, or agents or fiduciaries of the Company or
of any other corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other Enterprise that such person
serves at the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by such
policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent
of the coverage available for any director, officer, employee, agent or
fiduciary under such policy or policies. 
If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the
terms hereof, the Company has director and officer liability or other
applicable insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the
commencement of such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the
procedures set forth in the respective policies.  The Company shall thereafter take all
necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the
Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance
with the terms of such policies.

 

(c)           Subject to Section 9(f),
except as otherwise agreed between the Company, on the one hand, and Indemnitee
or another indemnitor of Indemnitee, on the other, in the event of any payment
to or on behalf of the Indemnitee under this Agreement, the Company shall be
subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of
Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers reasonably required and take all
action reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such
documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such
rights.

 

(d)           Subject to Section 9(f),
except as otherwise agreed between the Company, on the one hand, and Indemnitee
or another indemnitor of Indemnitee, on the other, the Company shall not be
liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise
indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise
actually received such 

 

12

 

payment under any Company
insurance policy, Company contract, Company agreement or otherwise (except to
the extent that Indemnitee is required (by court order or otherwise) to return
such payment or to surrender it to the Company).

 

(e)           Subject to Section 9(f),
except as otherwise agreed between the Company, on the one hand, and Indemnitee
or another indemnitor of Indemnitee, on the other, the Company’s obligation to
indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at
the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of any
other corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other Enterprise shall be reduced by any amount
Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement of expenses
from such other corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (except to the extent
that Indemnitee is required (by court order or otherwise) to return such
payment or to surrender it to the Company).

 

(f)            The Company hereby
acknowledges that Indemnitee is serving as a director or officer of the Company
at the request of the Company or its Board of Directors.  The Company hereby further acknowledges that
Indemnitee might have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of
Expenses and/or insurance coverage provided by one or more third parties other
than the Company and its insurers (collectively, the “Third Party
Indemnitors”).  The Company hereby
agrees that: (i) as between the Company and any Third Party Indemnitor, the
Company is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Indemnitee
are primary and any obligation of any Third Party Indemnitor to advance
Expenses or to provide indemnification or insurance coverage for the same
Expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee are secondary); (ii) it shall be
required to advance the full amount of Expenses incurred by or on behalf of
Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all judgments or amounts
paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms
of this Agreement, the Certificate or the Bylaws (or any other agreement
between the Company and Indemnitee), without regard to any rights Indemnitee
may have against any Third Party Indemnitor; and (iii) it hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally waives, relinquishes and releases any and all Third Party
Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Third Party Indemnitors (or any
of them) for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in
respect thereof.  The Company further
agrees that no advancement or payment by any Third Party Indemnitor on behalf
of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought
indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing in any respect and
the Third Party Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be
subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of
recovery of Indemnitee against the Company. 
The Company and Indemnitee agree that the Third Party Indemnitors are
express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 9.

 

10.          Exception to
Right of Indemnification. 
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not
be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnity in connection with any
claim made against Indemnitee:

 

(a)           for which payment has
actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy, or
other indemnity provision or otherwise, except with respect to any 

 

13

 

excess beyond the amount so
paid, and except as may otherwise be agreed between the Company, on the one
hand, and Indemnitee or another indemnitor of Indemnitee, on the other;

 

(b)           for an accounting of profits
made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of
securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Act, as
amended, or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law; or

 

(c)           in connection with any
Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee, including
any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee against
the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries or the directors,
officers, employees or other indemnitees of the Company or its direct or
indirect subsidiaries (other than any Proceeding initiated by Indemnitee
pursuant to Section 8(d), which shall be governed by the terms of such
section), unless (i) the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the
Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) prior to its initiation or (ii) the
Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers
vested in the Company under applicable law.

 

11.          Successors.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their
respective successors (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business
or assets of the Company), assigns, spouses, heirs, executors and personal and
legal representatives.

 

12.          Security.  To the extent requested by Indemnitee and
approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, the Company may at any time
and from time to time provide security to Indemnitee for the Company’s
obligations hereunder through an irrevocable bank line of credit, funded trust
or other collateral.  Any such security,
once provided to Indemnitee, may not be revoked or released without the prior
written consent of the Indemnitee.

 

13.          Enforcement.

 

(a)           The Company expressly
confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumes the
obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve or
continue serving as an officer or director of the Company, and the Company
acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as an
officer or director of the Company.

 

(b)           This Agreement constitutes
the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral,
written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof.

 

(c)           The Company represents that
this Agreement has been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

14.          Severability.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any
other provision hereof.  Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement is intended to confer upon
Indemnitee 

 

14

 

indemnification rights to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.  In the event any provision hereof conflicts
with any applicable law, such provision shall be deemed modified, consistent
with the aforementioned intent, to the extent necessary to resolve such
conflict.

 

15.          Modification
and Waiver.  No
supplement, modification, termination or amendment of this Agreement shall be
binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto.  No waiver of any of the provisions of this
Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions
hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing
waiver.

 

16.          Notice By
Indemnitee.  Indemnitee
agrees to promptly notify the Company in writing upon being served with or
otherwise receiving any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment,
information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be
subject to indemnification covered hereunder. 
The failure to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of
any obligation which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement or
otherwise unless and only to the extent that such failure or delay materially
prejudices the Company.

 

17.          Disclosure of
Payments.  Except as
expressly required by any law, neither party shall publicly disclose any
payments under this Agreement unless prior approval of the other party is
obtained.

 

18.          Notices.  Unless otherwise provided herein, any notice
required or permitted under this Agreement shall be deemed effective upon the
earlier of (a) actual receipt, or (b) (i) one (1) business day after the date
of delivery by confirmed facsimile transmission, (ii) one (1) business day
after the business day of deposit with a nationally recognized overnight
courier service for next day delivery, freight prepaid, or (iii) three (3)
business days after deposit with the United States Post Office for delivery by
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid. 
Any such notice shall be in writing and shall be addressed to the party
to be notified at the address indicated for such party indicated on the
signature pages or exhibits hereto, as otherwise set forth in this Section 18,
or at such other address as such party may designate by ten (10) days’ advance
written notice to the other parties.  All
communications shall be sent:

 

(a)           To Indemnitee at the address
set forth below Indemnitee’s signature hereto;

 

(b)           To the Company at:

or to such other address as
may have been furnished to Indemnitee by the Company or to the Company by
Indemnitee, as the case may be.

 

15

 

19.          Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.  This Agreement may also be executed and
delivered by facsimile or electronic signature.

 

20.          Headings.  The headings of the sections and subsections
of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to
constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.

 

21.          Governing Law
and Consent to Jurisdiction.  This Agreement and the legal relations among
the parties shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance
with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws
rules.  The Company and Indemnitee hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree that any action or proceeding arising
out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought only in the
Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Court”), and not
in any other state or federal court in the United States of America or any
court in any other country, (ii) consent to submit to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the Delaware Court for purposes of any action or proceeding
arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, (iii) consent to service
of any summons and complaint and any other process that may be served in any
action, suit, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement by
mailing by certified or registered mail, with postage prepaid, copies of such
process to such party at its address for receiving notice pursuant to Section
18 hereof, (iv) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such
action or proceeding in the Delaware Court, and (v) waive, and agree not to
plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the
Delaware Court has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum.  Nothing herein shall preclude service of
process by any other means permitted by applicable law.

 

22.          Assignment.  Neither party hereto may assign this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party; provided,
however, that the Company may assign this Agreement upon a Change in
Control.

 

23.          Construction.  The parties acknowledge that both parties
have contributed to the drafting of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the
application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing
that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against
the party drafting such agreement or document.

(C)                                any Spinco Assets (including any Liability relating to, arising out of or
resulting from any Spinco Contracts); and

mean (without duplication):

 

(i)                                     any and all Liabilities that are expressly contemplated by this Agreement,
the Plan, the Spinoff Plan or any other Transaction Document as Liabilities to
be retained or assumed by GGP or any other member of the GGP Group, and all
agreements and obligations of any member of the GGP Group under this Agreement
or any of the other Transaction Documents;

 

(ii)                                  any and all Liabilities of a member of the GGP Group to the extent
relating to, arising out of or resulting from any Excluded Assets;

 

(iii)                               any and all liabilities arising from a knowing violation of Law,

(other than any individual who at the time of such act was acting in his or her
capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of any member of the Spinco
Group or on behalf of the Spinco Business);

 

17

 

(iv)                              all Liabilities arising out of any claim made by any employee of any

Group, regardless of whether such claim arises prior to or after the Effective
Time;

 

(v)                                 any and all Liabilities of any members of the GGP Group that are not
Spinco Liabilities; and

 

(vi)                              any and all Liabilities arising from claims set forth in Class 4.2
of the Plan.

 

2.4                                 Approvals and Notifications of Spinco Assets and Liabilities.

 

(a)                                  If and to the extent that the valid, complete and perfected transfer or
assignment to the Spinco Group of any Spinco Assets or assumption by the Spinco
Group of any Spinco Liabilities would be a violation of applicable Law or
require any Approvals or Notifications in connection with the Restructuring, or
the Distribution, that has not been obtained or made by the Effective Time
then, unless the parties hereto mutually shall otherwise determine, the
transfer or assignment to the Spinco Group of such Spinco Assets or the
assumption by the Spinco Group of such Spinco Liabilities, as the case may be,
shall be automatically deemed deferred and any such purported transfer,
assignment or assumption shall be null and void until such time as all legal
impediments are removed or such Approvals or Notifications have been obtained or
made in accordance with this Section 2.4 hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such
Spinco Assets or Spinco Liabilities shall continue to constitute Spinco Assets
and Spinco Liabilities for all other purposes of this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 If any transfer or assignment of any Spinco Asset or any assumption of
any Spinco Liabilities intended to be transferred, assigned or assumed
hereunder, as the case may be, is not consummated on or prior to the Plan
Effective Date, whether as a result of the provisions of Section 2.4(a) or
for any other reason, then, insofar as reasonably possible, the member of the
GGP Group retaining such Spinco Asset or such Spinco Liability, as the case may
be, shall thereafter hold such Spinco Asset or Spinco Liability, as the case
may be, for the use and benefit of the member of the Spinco Group entitled
thereto (at the expense of the member of the Spinco Group entitled
thereto).  In addition, the member of the
GGP Group retaining such Spinco Asset or such Spinco Liability shall, insofar
as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, treat
such Spinco Asset or Spinco Liability in the ordinary course of business in
accordance with past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably
requested (pursuant to Section 2.5(b) and otherwise) by the
member of the Spinco Group to whom such Spinco Asset is to be transferred or
assigned, or which will assume such Spinco Liability, as the case may be, in
order to place such member of the Spinco Group in a substantially similar
position as if such Spinco Asset or Spinco Liability had been transferred,
assigned or assumed as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and
burdens relating to such Spinco Asset or Spinco Liability, as the case may be,
including use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and
command over such Spinco Asset or Spinco Liability, as the case may be, is to
inure from and after the Effective Time to the Spinco Group.

 

18

 

(c)                                  If and when the Approvals or Notifications, the absence of which caused
the deferral of transfer or assignment of any Spinco Asset or the deferral of
assumption of any Spinco Liability pursuant to Section 2.4(a), are
obtained or made, and, if and when any other legal impediments for the transfer
or assignment of any Spinco Asset or the assumption of any Spinco Liability
have been removed, the transfer or assignment of the applicable Spinco Asset or
the assumption of the applicable Spinco Liability, as the case may be, shall be
effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the applicable
Transaction Document.

 

(d)                                 The reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with any such
transfers or assignments of Spinco Assets or assumption of Spinco Liabilities,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees and all recording or similar fees, shall
be borne by GGP until the six month anniversary of the date of the
Distribution, and thereafter by Spinco; provided, that the GGO
Promissory Note (as defined in the Investment Agreements) shall be issued, and
subsequently adjusted, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Investment
Agreements.

 

2.5                                 Transfer of Non-Transferred Assets; Assumption of Non-Transferred
Liabilities.

 

(a)                                  If at any time or from time to time following the Effective Time, any
party hereto (or any member of such party’s respective Group), shall receive or
otherwise possess any Asset or Liability (including any Intellectual Property
or Technology) that is allocated to any other Person pursuant to this Agreement
or any other Transaction Document, such Person (or any member of such party’s
respective Group, the “Transferor Party”) shall promptly transfer, or
cause to be transferred, such Asset (each, a “Non-Transferred Asset”) or
Liability (each, a “Non-Transferred Liability”), as the case may be, to
the Person (or any member of such party’s respective Group, the “Transferee
Party”) entitled to such Non-Transferred Asset or responsible for such
Non-Transferred Liability, as the case may be, and the Transferee Party
entitled to such Non-Transferred Asset or responsible for such Non-Transferred
Liability shall accept such Non-Transferred Asset or accept, assume and agree
faithfully to perform, discharge such Non-Transferred Liability, as applicable.

 

(b)                                 In furtherance of the assignment, transfer, conveyance and delivery of
Non-Transferred Assets and the assumption of Non-Transferred Liabilities set
forth in this Section 2.5, (i) the Transferor Party shall
execute and deliver such bills of sale, quitclaim deeds, stock powers,
certificates of title, assignments of contract and other instruments of
transfer, conveyance and assignment as and to the extent necessary to evidence
the transfer, conveyance and assignment of all of the Transferee Party’s right,
title and interest in and to the Non-Transferred Assets, and (ii) the
Transferee Party shall execute and deliver such assumptions of contract and
other instruments of assumption as and to the extent necessary to evidence the
valid and effective assumption of the Non-Transferred Liabilities.

 

(c)                                  To the extent that the transfer or assignment of any Non-Transferred
Assets or the assumption of any Non-Transferred Liabilities requires any
Approvals or Notifications, the parties shall use their commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications as soon as reasonably
practicable; provided, however, that, except to the extent
expressly provided in any of the other Transaction Documents, no member of the
GGP Group or Spinco Group shall be obligated to contribute capital or pay any
consideration in any 

 

19

 

form (including
providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to
any Person in order to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications.

 

(d)                                 If and to the extent that the valid, complete and perfected transfer or
assignment to the Transferee Party of any Non-Transferred Assets or the
assumption by the Transferee Party of any Non-Transferred Liabilities would be
a violation of applicable Law or require any material Approval or Notification
that has not been made or obtained on or before the Plan Effective Date, then,
unless the parties hereto mutually shall otherwise determine, the transfer or
assignment to the Transferee Party of such Non-Transferred Assets or the
assumption by the Transferee Party of such Non-Transferred Liabilities shall be
automatically deemed deferred and any such purported transfer, assignment or
assumption shall be null and void until such time as all legal impediments are
removed or such Approvals or Notifications have been obtained or made.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such
Non-Transferred Assets that are Excluded Assets or Non-Transferred Liabilities
that are Excluded Liabilities shall continue to constitute Excluded Assets or
Excluded Liabilities for all other purposes of this Agreement, and any such
Non-Transferred Assets that are Spinco Assets or Non-Transferred Liabilities
that are Spinco Liabilities shall continue to constitute Spinco Assets or
Spinco Liabilities for all other purposes of this Agreement.

 

(e)                                  If any transfer or assignment of any Non-Transferred Asset under this Section 2.5,
is not consummated on or prior to the Plan Effective Date, whether as a result
of the provisions of Section 2.5(d) or for any other reason,
then, insofar as reasonably possible, the Transferor Party retaining such
Non-Transferred Asset, shall thereafter hold such Non-Transferred Asset for the
use and benefit of the Transferee Party entitled thereto (at the expense of the
member of the Transferee Party entitled thereto).  In addition, the Transferor Party retaining
such Non-Transferred Asset shall, insofar as reasonably possible and to the
extent permitted by applicable Law, treat such Non-Transferred Asset in the
ordinary course of business in accordance with past practice and take such
other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Transferee Party to whom
such Non-Transferred Asset is to be transferred or assigned, in order to place
such Transferee Party in a substantially similar position as if such
Non-Transferred Asset had been transferred as contemplated hereby and so that
all the benefits and burdens relating to such Non-Transferred Asset, including
use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over
such Non-Transferred Asset, is to inure from and after the Effective Time to
the Transferee Party.

 

(f)                                    If and when the Approvals or Notifications, the absence of which caused
the deferral of transfer or assignment of any Non-Transferred Asset or the
deferral of assumption of any Non-Transferred Liability, are obtained or made,
and, if and when any other legal impediments for the transfer or assignment of
any Non-Transferred Assets or the assumption of any Non-Transferred Liabilities
have been removed, the transfer or assignment of the applicable Non-Transferred
Asset or the assumption of the applicable Non-Transferred Liability, as the
case may be, shall be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
and/or the applicable Transaction Document.

 

(g)                                 The reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with any such
transfers or assignments of Non-Transferred Assets or assumption of
Non-Transferred Liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and all
recording or similar fees, shall be borne 

 

20

 

by the party that would
have been responsible for such costs and expenses if the transfer, assignment
or assumption had occurred at or prior to the Effective Time.

 

2.6                                 Novation of Liabilities.

 

(a)                                  Each of GGP and Spinco, at the request of the other, shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, as soon
as reasonably practicable, any consent, substitution, approval or amendment
required to novate or assign all obligations under agreements, leases, licenses
and other obligations or Liabilities that constitute Excluded Liabilities or
Spinco Liabilities, as applicable, or to obtain in writing the unconditional
release of all parties to such arrangements other than any member of the GGP
Group or the Spinco Group, as applicable (the “Released Party”), so
that, in any such case, the members of the GGP Group or the Spinco Group, as
applicable (the “Responsible Party”) will be solely responsible for such
Liabilities; provided, however, that, except as otherwise
expressly provided in any of the other Transaction Documents, neither GGP nor
Spinco shall be obligated to contribute any capital or pay any consideration in
any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial
accommodation) to any third Person from whom any such consent, substitution,
approval, amendment or release is requested.

 

(b)                                 If the Released Party is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained,
any such required consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release, the
Released Party shall continue to be bound by such agreement, lease, license or
other obligation or Liability and, unless not permitted by the terms thereof or
by Law, the Responsible Party shall, as agent or subcontractor for the Released
Party, pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other
Liabilities of the Released Party thereunder from and after the Effective Time.  The Responsible Party shall indemnify the
Released Party and any other members of its respective Group and each of their
respective directors, officers and employees, and each of the heirs, executors,
successors and assigns of any of the foregoing and hold each of them harmless against
any Liabilities arising in connection therewith; provided, that pursuant
hereto the Responsible Party shall have no obligation to indemnify any Person
that has engaged in any knowing violation of Law, fraud or misrepresentation in
connection therewith.  The Released Party
shall cause each member of its respective Group, without further consideration,
to pay and remit, or cause to be paid or remitted, to the Responsible Party or
its designee promptly all money, rights and other consideration received by it
or any member of its respective Group in respect of the document, agreement,
Contract, obligation or Liability that gave rise to such performance (unless
any such consideration is an Asset expressly allocated to the Released Party
pursuant to this Agreement).  If and when
any such consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release shall be
obtained or the obligations under such agreement, lease, license or other
obligations or Liabilities shall otherwise become assignable or able to be
novated, the Released Party shall promptly assign, or cause to be assigned, all
its obligations and other Liabilities thereunder or any obligations of any
member of its respective Group without payment of further consideration and the
Responsible Party, without the payment of any further consideration, shall, or
shall cause another member of its respective Group to, assume such obligations.

2.7                                 Termination of Agreements and Arrangements.

 

(a)                                  Except as set forth in Section 2.7(b), in furtherance of the
releases and other provisions of Section 5.1, Spinco and each
member of the Spinco Group, on the one hand, and GGP and each member of the GGP
Group, on the other hand, hereby terminate, effective as of the Effective Time,
any and all agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings, whether or
not in writing, solely between or among Spinco and/or any member of the Spinco
Group, on the one hand, and GGP and/or any member of the GGP Group, on the
other hand, effective as of the Effective Time; provided, however,
to the extent that termination of any such agreement, arrangement, commitment
or understanding is inconsistent with any other Transaction Document, such
termination shall be determined pursuant to the applicable Transaction
Document.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Groups shall settle all intercompany receivables and payables as of the
Effective Time, and after the Effective Time neither Group shall owe any
further amounts to the other Group in respect of such intercompany receivables
and payables.  No such terminated
agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding (including any provision
thereof which purports to survive termination) shall be of any further force or
effect after the Effective Time (or, to the extent contemplated by the proviso
to the immediately preceding sentence, after the effective date of the
applicable Transaction Document).  Each
party shall, at the reasonable request of any other party, take, or cause to be
taken, such other actions as may be necessary to effect the foregoing.

 

(b)                                 The provisions of Section 2.7(a) shall not apply to any
of the following agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings (or to
any of the provisions thereof):

 

(i)                                     this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (and each other
agreement or instrument expressly contemplated by this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document to be entered into or continued by any of the parties
hereto or any of the members of their respective Groups);

 

(ii)                                  any agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings to which any
Person other than the parties hereto and their respective wholly-owned
Subsidiaries is a party (it being understood that (A) directors’
qualifying shares, preferred or similar interests or shares issued by entities
issuing such shares to satisfy REIT qualification requirements or the Code,
will be disregarded for purposes of determining whether a Subsidiary is wholly
owned and (B) to the extent that the rights and obligations of the parties
and the members of their respective Groups under any such agreements,
arrangements, commitments or understandings constitute Spinco Assets or Spinco
Liabilities, they shall be assigned pursuant to Section 2.1); and

 

(iii)                               any other agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings that
this Agreement, the Plan, the Spinoff Plan or any other Transaction Document
expressly contemplates will survive the Plan Effective Date.

 

2.8                                 Bank Accounts; Cash Balances.

 

Except as may be set forth in
the Transition Services Agreement:

 

(a)                                  GGP and Spinco each agrees to take, or cause the respective members of
their respective Groups to take, to be effective at the Effective Time (or such
earlier time as GGP 

 

22

 

and Spinco may agree),
all actions necessary to amend all Spinco Contracts governing each bank and
brokerage account owned by Spinco or any other member of the Spinco Group
(collectively, the “Spinco Accounts”), so that such Spinco Accounts, if
currently linked (whether by automatic withdrawal, automatic deposit or any
other authorization to transfer funds from or to, hereinafter “linked”)
to any bank or brokerage account owned by GGP or any other member of the GGP
Group (collectively, the “GGP Accounts”), are de-linked from the GGP
Accounts effective on the Plan Effective Date.

 

(b)                                 GGP and Spinco each agrees to take, or cause the respective members of
their respective Groups to take, to be effective at the Effective Time (or such
earlier time as GGP and Spinco may agree), all actions necessary to amend all
Spinco Contracts governing the GGP Accounts so that such GGP Accounts, if
currently linked to a Spinco Account, are de-linked from the Spinco Accounts.

 

(c)                                  It is intended that, following consummation of the actions contemplated
by Sections 2.8(a) and 2.8(b), there will continue to be in
place a centralized cash management process pursuant to which the Spinco
Accounts will be managed centrally and funds collected will be transferred into
one (1) or more centralized accounts maintained by Spinco.

 

(d)                                 It is intended that, following consummation of the actions contemplated
by Sections 2.8(a) and 2.8(b), there will continue to be in
place a centralized cash management process pursuant to which the GGP Accounts
will be managed centrally and funds collected will be transferred into one (1) or
more centralized accounts maintained by GGP.

 

(e)                                  With respect to any outstanding checks issued by GGP, Spinco, or any of
their respective Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time, such outstanding
checks shall be honored following the Effective Time by the Person or Group
owning the account on which the check is drawn with prompt reimbursement from
the Person or Group that issued such check, if applicable, in each case subject
to the express provisions in the Plan or the Investment Agreements regarding
payment of claims.

 

(f)                                    As between GGP and Spinco (and the members of their respective Groups)
all payments and reimbursements received after the Effective Time by either
party (or member of its Group) in the ordinary course of business that relate
to a business, Asset or Liability of the other party (or member of its Group),
shall be held by such party in trust for the use and benefit of the party
entitled thereto and, promptly upon receipt by such party of any such payment
or reimbursement, such party shall pay over, or shall cause the applicable
member of its Group to pay over to the other party the amount of such payment
or reimbursement without right of set-off.

 

(g)                                 Each of GGP and Spinco agrees that, prior to the Effective Time, GGP or
any other member of the GGP Group may withdraw any and all cash or cash
equivalents (other than the cash proceeds specified in Section 2.2(a)(iii))
from the Spinco Accounts for the benefit of GGP or any other member of the GGP
Group; provided, however, that neither GGP nor any other member
of the GGP Group shall be entitled to withdraw any cash or cash equivalents
from any Spinco Account if, and to the extent that, the amount of such cash or
cash equivalents is necessary to cover any checks or wires made from or against
(or to be made from or against) a 

 

23

 

Spinco Account as of,
or prior to, the Effective Time and which has not been paid or withdrawn as of
the Effective Time.

 

2.9                                 Replacement of Letters of Credit Relating to the Spinco Business.  Spinco shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to replace, as promptly as practicable
following the Effective Time, each letter of credit relating to the Spinco
Business in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time with a new letter of
credit that does not involve any recourse, contingent or otherwise, to any
member of the GGP Group.

 

2.10                           Payment of Certain Ordinary Course, Pre-Petition Obligations.  Notwithstanding Section 2.3
hereof, with respect to any claims for ordinary course obligations of any
member of the Spinco Group that were incurred prior to the filing of the
Bankruptcy Cases (the “Petition Date”) that are subject to the Plan
but have been neither allowed nor disallowed as of the Plan Effective Date, GGP
shall satisfy, or cause to be satisfied, such claims if and to the extent they
become allowed claims; provided, however, that the aggregate
Liability of the GGP Group with respect to this Section 2.10 shall
not exceed a cap of $5,000,000 (it being understood that Liabilities allocated
to the GGP Group in Section 2.3(b)(vi) shall not count towards
such cap), and any Liabilities related to such claims in excess of such cap
shall be borne by the Spinco Group.

 

2.11                           Payment of Certain Legal Fees of K&L Gates LLP.  GGP shall pay, or cause to be
paid, the reasonable legal fees of K&L Gates LLP in connection with the
Transactions, but only to the extent such fees are incurred on or prior to the
Plan Effective Date and set forth on an itemized invoice delivered to GGP; provided,
however, that the aggregate payment obligation of the GGP Group with
respect to this Section 2.11 shall not exceed a cap of $600,000,
and any payment obligations in excess of such cap shall be borne by the Spinco
Group.

 

2.12                           Mechanics’ and
Materialman’s Liens.  In connection with any financing, sale or other
transfer involving all or any portion of any Asset of any member of the Spinco
Group, GGP shall, promptly following request by Spinco, bond off, cause the
removal from record of or otherwise address in a commercially reasonable
manner, which is reasonably acceptable to Spinco, to the applicable lender,
purchaser or other transferee, and to any title insurance company involved in
such financing, sale or other transfer, any mechanics’ or materialmans’ liens
affecting such Asset for which GGP is responsible for payment pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event that GGP chooses to bond off any such lien, GGP may
request that Spinco be responsible for such bonding process, in which event GGP
agrees to promptly reimburse Spinco for all actual third party costs incurred
by Spinco or by any member of the Spinco Group in connection therewith.

 

2.13                           Disclaimer of Representations and Warranties.  EACH OF GGP (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF
AND EACH MEMBER OF THE GGP GROUP) AND SPINCO (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH
MEMBER OF THE SPINCO GROUP) UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY
SET FORTH HEREIN OR IN ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, NO PARTY TO THIS
AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT OR DOCUMENT
CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, OR OTHERWISE, IS REPRESENTING OR
WARRANTING TO ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO OR THERETO IN ANY WAY AS TO 

 

24

 

THE ASSETS, BUSINESSES
OR LIABILITIES TRANSFERRED OR ASSUMED AS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, AS TO
ANY APPROVALS OR NOTIFICATIONS REQUIRED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH, AS
TO THE VALUE OR FREEDOM FROM ANY SECURITY INTERESTS OF, OR ANY OTHER MATTER

levied against such other party by a Governmental Authority (which fines or penalties shall not include
any Liabilities asserted in connection with the claims underlying the
applicable Action, other than fines or penalties resulting from any claim of

Liabilities.

 

4.5                                 Liability.  No party shall have any liability to any

for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document and is no longer required to be retained by applicable Law, the
receiving party will promptly after request of the other party either return to
the other party all Information in a tangible form (including all copies
thereof and all notes, extracts or summaries based thereon) or certify to the
other party that it has destroyed such Information (and such copies thereof and
such notes, extracts or summaries based thereon).

 

(d)                                 The parties agree to comply with the requirements of the Health Insurance

each party hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make
available to each other party, upon written request, the former, current and
future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the
members of its respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other
documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available,
to the extent that any such person (giving consideration to business demands of
such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books,
records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with any
Action or IP Application in which the requesting party may from time to time be
involved, regardless of whether such Action or IP Application is a matter with
respect to which indemnification may be sought hereunder.  The requesting party shall bear all
out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith.

 

(b)                                 If an Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or to seek to compromise or

reasonable efforts to make available to such Indemnifying Party, upon written
request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other
personnel and agents of the members of its respective Group as witnesses and
any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise
has the ability to make available, to the extent that any such persons (giving
consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, other
personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be
required in connection with such defense, settlement or compromise, or the
prosecution, evaluation or pursuit thereof, as the case may be, and shall
otherwise cooperate in such defense, settlement or compromise, or such
prosecution, evaluation or pursuit, as the case may be.  The Indemnifying Party shall bear all

necessary with respect to (i) any Third Party Claims and (ii) any
written request for access to Information or 

 

31

 

Representatives of the
other party and members of such other party’s Group in connection with any
Third Party Claim; provided that such request shall sufficiently identify the
applicable custodian of the requested Information and, to the extent known to
the requesting party, the date of, or any applicable time periods relating to,
the requested Information and any other descriptions necessary to sufficiently
identify the requested Information.

 

(d)                                 Without limiting any provision of this Section 4.7, each of
the parties agrees to reasonably cooperate, and to cause each member of its
respective Group to reasonably cooperate, with each other in the defense of any
infringement, misappropriation or similar claim with respect to any
Intellectual Property and shall not claim to acknowledge, or permit any member
of its respective Group to claim to acknowledge, the validity, enforceability
or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property of a third Person in a manner
that would hamper or undermine the defense of such infringement,
misappropriation or similar claim except as required by Law.

 

(e)                                  The obligation of the parties to provide witnesses pursuant to this Section 4.7
is intended to be interpreted in
a manner so as to facilitate cooperation and shall include the obligation to
provide as witnesses inventors and other officers without regard to whether the
witness or the employer of the witness could assert a possible business
conflict (subject to the exception set forth in the first (1st) sentence of Section 4.7(a)).

 

(f)                                    In connection with any matter contemplated by this Section 4.7,

to maintain to the extent practicable any applicable attorney-client privilege,
work product immunity or other applicable privileges or immunities of any
member of any Group.

 

(g)                                 For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 4.7
are in furtherance of the provisions of Section 4.1 and shall not
be deemed to in any way limit or otherwise modify the parties’ rights and
obligations under Section 4.1.

provided following the Effective Time, which services will be rendered solely
for the benefit of the GGP Group or the Spinco Group, as the case may be.

or under the control of any member of the Spinco Group or any member of the GGP
Group.

 

(c)                                  Subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.8,
the parties agree that they shall have a shared privilege, each with equal
right to assert any such shared privilege, with respect to all privileges not
allocated pursuant to Section 4.8(b) and all privileges
relating to any Actions or other matters that involve both the GGP Group and
the Spinco Group and in respect of which both parties have Liabilities under
this Agreement.

 

(d)                                 Subject to Sections 4.8(e) and (f), no party may waive
any privilege that could be asserted under any applicable Law, and in which the
other party has a shared privilege, without the consent of the other party,
which consent shall (i) not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed, (ii) be in writing and (iii) be deemed to be granted unless
written objection is made within twenty (20) days after notice has been
given to the other party requesting such consent.

 

(e)                                  In the event of any Actions between GGP and Spinco, or any members of
their respective Groups, either party may waive a privilege in which the other
party or member of such other party’s Group has a shared privilege, without
obtaining consent pursuant to Section 4.8(d); provided, that
such waiver of a shared privilege shall be effective only as to the use of
Information with respect to the Action between the parties and/or the
applicable members of their respective Groups, and shall not operate as a
waiver of the shared privilege with respect to any third Person.

 

(f)                                    If any dispute arises between GGP and Spinco, or any members of their
respective Groups, regarding whether a privilege should be waived to protect or
advance the interests of either the GGP Group or the Spinco Group, each party
agrees that it shall (i) negotiate with the other party in good faith,
(ii) endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other party
and (iii) not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay consent to any
request for waiver by the other party. 
Further, each party specifically agrees that it will not withhold its
consent to the waiver of a privilege for any purpose except to protect its own
legitimate interests.

 

(g)                                 Upon receipt by either party, or by any member of its respective Group,
of any subpoena, discovery or other request that may reasonably be expected to
result in the production or disclosure of Information subject to a shared
privilege or as to which another party 

 

33

 

has the sole right
hereunder to assert a privilege, or if either party obtains knowledge that any
of its, or any member of its respective Group’s, current or former directors,
officers, agents or employees have received any subpoena, discovery or other
requests that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or
disclosure of such privileged Information, such party shall promptly notify the
other party of the existence of the request (which notice shall be delivered to
such other party no later than five (5) business days following the
receipt of any such subpoena, discovery or other request) and shall provide the
other party a reasonable opportunity to review the Information and to assert
any rights it or they may have under this Section 4.8 or otherwise
to prevent the production or disclosure of such privileged Information.

 

(h)                                 The transfer of all Information pursuant to this Agreement is made in
reliance on the agreement of GGP and Spinco set forth in this Section 4.8
and in Section 6.2 to maintain the confidentiality of privileged
Information and to assert and maintain all applicable privileges.  The parties agree that their respective
rights to any access to Information, witnesses and other Persons, the
furnishing of notices and documents and other cooperative efforts between the
parties contemplated by this Agreement, and the transfer of privileged
Information between the parties and members of their respective Groups pursuant
to this Agreement, shall not be deemed a waiver of any privilege that has been
or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise.

 

(i)                                     In furtherance of the parties’ agreement under this Section 4.8,
GGP and Spinco shall, and shall cause applicable members of their respective
Group to, maintain their respective separate and joint privileges, including by
executing joint defense and common interest agreements where necessary or
useful for this purpose.

Cases, the Plan, the transactions and all other activities to implement the
Restructuring, the Distribution and any of the other transactions contemplated

(c)                                  Nothing contained in Section 5.1(a) or Section 5.1(b) shall
impair any right of any party to enforce this Agreement, or any other
Transaction Document, in accordance with its terms.  Nothing contained in Section 5.1(a) or
Section 5.1(b) shall release any Person from:

 

(i)                                     any Liability, contingent or otherwise, assumed, transferred, assigned or
allocated to the Group of which such Person is a member in accordance with, or

provisions of the other Transaction Documents; or

 

(iv)                              as to the GGP Group, any Liability expressly provided for in the Plan.

 

In
addition, nothing contained in Section 5.1(a) shall release
GGP from indemnifying any director, officer or employee of Spinco who was a
director, officer or employee of GGP or any of its Subsidiaries on or prior to
the Effective Time, to the extent such 

 

35

 

director, officer or employee is or becomes a
named defendant in any Action with respect to which he or she was entitled to
such indemnification pursuant to then existing obligations, it being understood
that if the underlying obligation giving rise to such Action is a Spinco
Liability, Spinco shall indemnify GGP for such Liability (including GGP’s costs
to indemnify the director, officer or employee) in accordance with the
provisions set forth in this Article V.

 

(d)                                 Spinco shall not make, and shall not permit any member of the Spinco
Group to make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim
or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against
GGP or any member of the GGP Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 5.1(a),
with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 5.1(a).  GGP shall not, and shall not permit any
member of the GGP Group, to make any claim or demand, or commence any Action
asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any
indemnification against Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group, or any other
Person released pursuant to Section 5.1(b), with respect to any
Liabilities released pursuant to Section 5.1(b).

 

(e)                                  It is the intent of each of GGP and Spinco, by virtue of the provisions
of this Section 5.1, to provide for a full and complete release and
discharge of all Liabilities existing or arising from all acts and events
occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to
occur and all conditions existing or alleged to have existed on or before the
Plan Effective Date, between or among Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group,
on the one hand, and GGP or any member of the GGP Group, on the other hand
(including any contractual agreements or arrangements existing or alleged to
exist between or among any such members on or before the Plan Effective Date),
except as expressly set forth in Section 5.1(c).  At any time, at the request of any other
party, each party shall cause each member of its respective Group to execute
and deliver releases reflecting the provisions hereof.

 

5.2                                 General Indemnification by Spinco.  Spinco shall, and shall cause the other
members of the Spinco Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each member
of the GGP Group and each of their respective directors, officers and
employees, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of
the foregoing (collectively, the “GGP Indemnified Parties”), from and
against any and all Liabilities of the GGP Indemnified Parties relating to,
arising out of or resulting from any of the following items (without
duplication):

 

(a)                                  any Spinco Liability;

 

(b)                                 the failure of Spinco or any other member of the Spinco Group or any
other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any Spinco
Liabilities or Spinco Contract in accordance with its respective terms, whether
prior to or after the Effective Time;

 

(c)                                  any guarantee, indemnification obligation, surety bond or other credit
support agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding by any member of
the GGP Group for the benefit of any member of the Spinco Group that survives
the Effective Time, except to the extent any of the foregoing is (i) expressly
governed by the Surety Bond Indemnity Agreement or (ii) an Excluded
Liability; and

 

36

 

(d)                                 any breach (including any breach of any representation or warranty) of
this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents by any member of the
Spinco Group, or any action by Spinco in contravention of its Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws as they exist at the Effective
Time;

 

provided, however, that the indemnification
provisions of this Section 5.2 shall not apply to the Transition
Services Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement, the Employee Leasing Agreement
and the Subleases, which instead shall be subject to the indemnification
provisions contained therein.

 

5.3                                 General Indemnification by GGP.  GGP shall, and shall cause the other members
of the GGP Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each member of the
Spinco Group and each of their respective directors, officers and employees,
and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the
foregoing (collectively, the “Spinco Indemnified Parties”), from and
against any and all Liabilities of the Spinco Indemnified Parties relating to,
arising out of or resulting from any of the following items (without
duplication):

 

(a)                                  any Excluded Liability;

 

(b)                                 the failure of any member of the GGP Group or any other Person to pay,
perform or otherwise promptly discharge any Excluded Liabilities, whether prior
to or after the Effective Time;

 

(c)                                  any guarantee, indemnification obligation, surety bond or other credit
support agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding by any member of
the Spinco Group for the benefit of any member of the GGP Group that survives
the Effective Time, except to the extent any of the foregoing is a Spinco
Liability; and

 

(d)                                 any breach (including any breach of any representation or warranty) of
this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents by any member of the
GGP Group;

 

provided, however, that the indemnification
provisions of this Section 5.3 shall not apply to the Transition
Services Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement, the Employee Leasing Agreement
and the Subleases, which instead shall be subject to the indemnification
provisions contained therein.

 

5.4                                 Disclosure Indemnification.

 

(a)                                  Spinco agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the GGP Indemnified Parties
and each Person, if any, who controls any member of the GGP Group within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act from and against any and all Liabilities (whether arising before
or after the Effective Time) out of or based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Spinco Disclosure
Document, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading.

 

(b)                                 GGP agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Spinco Indemnified Parties
and each Person, if any, who controls any member of the Spinco Group within the

 

37

 

meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act
from and against any and all Liabilities (whether arising before or after the
Effective Time) out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in a GGP Disclosure Document, or arising
out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

 

5.5                                 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.

 

(a)                                  Any Liability subject to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this
Article V, will be net of Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce
the amount of the Liability or Loss, as applicable.  Accordingly, the amount which any party (an “Indemnifying
Party”) is required to pay to any Person entitled to indemnification under
this Article V (an “Indemnified Party”) will be reduced
by any Insurance Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the
Indemnified Party in respect of the related Liability.  If an Indemnified Party receives a payment
(an “Indemnity Payment”) required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying
Party in respect of any Liability and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds,
then the Indemnified Party will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal
to such Insurance Proceeds but not exceeding the amount of the Indemnity
Payment paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Liability.

 

(b)                                 An insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be
relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the
indemnification provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect
thereto.  The Indemnified Party shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to seek to collect or recover any
third-party Insurance Proceeds (other than Insurance Proceeds under an
arrangement where future premiums are adjusted to reflect prior claims in
excess of prior premiums) to which the Indemnified Party is entitled in
connection with any Liability for which the Indemnified Party seeks
indemnification pursuant to this Article V; provided, that
the Indemnified Party’s inability to collect or recover any such Insurance
Proceeds shall not limit the Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder.

 

(c)                                  Subject to Section 5.7(e), any indemnity payment under this Article V
shall be increased to take into account any inclusion in income of the
Indemnified Party arising from the receipt of such indemnity payment and shall
be decreased to take into account any reduction in income of the Indemnified
Party arising from such indemnified Liability. 
For purposes hereof, any inclusion or reduction shall be determined (i) using
the highest marginal rates in effect at the time of the determination and
applicable to a corporate resident of Chicago, Illinois and (ii) assuming
that the Indemnified Party, including any entity that qualifies as a real
estate investment trust, will be liable for Taxes at such rate and has no Tax
Attributes at the time of the determination.

 

5.6                                 Procedures for Indemnification of Third Party Claims.

 

(a)                                  If an Indemnified Party receives written notice that a Person (including
any Governmental Authority) that is not a member of GGP Group or Spinco Group
has asserted any claim or commenced any Action (collectively, a “Third Party Claim”) that
may implicate an Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify pursuant to Sections 5.2,
5.3 or 5.4, or any other 

 

38

 

Section of this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the Indemnified Party shall
provide the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof as promptly as
practicable (and no later than twenty (20) days or sooner, if the nature of the
Third Party Claim so requires) after becoming aware of the Third Party
Claim.  Such notice shall describe the
Third Party Claim in reasonable detail and include copies of all notices and
documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating
to the Third Party Claim. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of an Indemnified Party to
provide notice in accordance with this Section 5.6(a) shall
not relieve an Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this
Agreement, except to the extent to which the Indemnifying Party is actually
prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to provide notice in accordance
with this Section 5.6(a).

 

(b)                                 Subject to this Section 5.6(b) and Section 5.6(c),
an Indemnifying Party may elect to defend (and seek to settle or compromise),
at its own expense and with its own counsel, any Third Party Claim.  Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of
notice from an Indemnified Party in accordance with Section 5.6(a) (or
sooner, if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying
Party shall notify the Indemnified Party whether the Indemnifying Party will
assume responsibility for defending the Third Party Claim and shall specify any
reservations or exceptions to its defense. 
After receiving notice of an Indemnifying Party’s election to assume the
defense of a Third Party Claim, whether with or without any reservations or
exceptions with respect to such defense, an Indemnified Party shall have the
right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the
defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, but the Indemnified Party shall be
responsible for the fees and expenses of its counsel and, in any event, shall
cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the
Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses,
information and materials in such Indemnified Party’s possession or under such
Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the
Indemnifying Party.  If an Indemnifying
Party has elected to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, whether with or
without any reservations or exceptions with respect to such defense, then such
Indemnifying Party shall be solely liable for all fees and expenses incurred by
it in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim and shall not be
entitled to seek any indemnification or reimbursement from the Indemnified
Party for any such fees or expenses incurred during the course of its defense
of such Third Party Claim, regardless of any subsequent decision by the
Indemnifying Party to reject or otherwise abandon its assumption of such
defense.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding Section 5.6(b), if any Indemnified Party
shall in good faith determine that there is an actual conflict of interest if
counsel for the Indemnifying Party represented both the Indemnified Party and
Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ
separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense,
compromise, or settlement thereof, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the
reasonable fees and expenses of one (1) separate counsel for all
Indemnified Parties.

 

(d)                                 If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for
defending a Third Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnified Party of its
election within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from an
Indemnified Party as provided in Section 5.6(b), the Indemnified
Party may defend the Third Party Claim at the cost and expense of the
Indemnifying Party.  If the Indemnified
Party is conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the
Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense
and make 

 

39

 

available to the
Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses,
information and materials in such Indemnifying Party’s possession or under such
Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the
Indemnified Party.

 

(e)                                  Without the prior written consent of any Indemnifying Party, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, no
Indemnified Party may settle or compromise, or seek to settle or compromise,
any Third Party Claim; provided, however, in the event that the
Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending a Third
Party Claim or fails to notify the Indemnified Party of its election within
thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party as
provided in Section 5.6(b), the Indemnified Party shall have the
right to settle or compromise such Third Party Claim in its sole
discretion.  Without the prior written
consent of any Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed, no Indemnifying Party shall consent to the
entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any pending or threatened
Third Party Claim if such Indemnified Party is or could have been a party to
the pending or threatened Third Party Claim and could have sought indemnity
pursuant to this Section 5.6, unless such judgment or settlement is
solely for monetary damages, and provides for a full, unconditional and
irrevocable release of that Indemnified Party from all liability in connection
with the Third Party Claim.

 

5.7                                 Additional Matters.

 

(a)                                  Indemnification or contribution payments in respect of any Liabilities
for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification or contribution
under this Article V shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party to the
Indemnified Party as such Liabilities are incurred upon reasonable demand by
the Indemnified Party, including reasonably satisfactory documentation setting
forth the basis for the amount of such indemnification or contribution payment,
including documentation with respect to calculations made and consideration of
any Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of such
Liabilities.  The indemnity and
contribution agreements contained in this Article V shall remain
operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any
investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party, (ii) the
knowledge by the Indemnified Party of Liabilities for which it might be
entitled to indemnification or contribution hereunder and (iii) any
termination of this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Any claim on account of a Liability which does not result from a Third
Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnified Party
to the applicable Indemnifying Party. 
Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after
the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto.  If such Indemnifying Party does not respond
within such thirty (30)-day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to
have refused to accept responsibility to make payment.  If such Indemnifying Party does not respond
within such thirty (30)-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part,
such Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be
available to such party as contemplated by this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents without prejudice to its continuing rights to pursue
indemnification or contribution hereunder.

 

(c)                                  If payment is made by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any
Indemnified Party in connection with any Third Party Claim, such Indemnifying
Party shall be 

 

40

 

subrogated to and shall
stand in the place of such Indemnified Party as to any events or circumstances
in respect of which such Indemnified Party may have any right, defense or claim
relating to such Third Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting
such Third Party Claim or against any other Person.  Such Indemnified Party shall cooperate with
such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of
such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

 

(d)                                 In an Action in which the Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if
either the Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party shall so request, the
parties shall endeavor to substitute the Indemnifying Party for the named
defendant if they conclude that substitution is desirable and practical.  If such substitution or addition cannot be
achieved for any reason or is not requested, the named defendant shall allow
the Indemnifying Party to manage the Action as set forth in this Section 5.7(d),
and the Indemnifying Party shall fully indemnify the named defendant against
all costs of defending the Action (including court costs, sanctions imposed by
a court, attorneys’ fees, experts fees and all other external expenses), the
costs of any judgment or settlement, and the cost of any interest or penalties
relating to any judgment or settlement.

 

(e)                                  For all Tax purposes, GGP and Spinco agree to treat (i) any payment
required by this Agreement (other than payments with respect to interest
accruing after the Effective Time) as either a contribution by GGP to Spinco or
a distribution by Spinco to GGP, as the case may be, occurring immediately
prior to the Effective Time or as a payment of an assumed or retained
Liability, and (ii) any payment of interest as taxable or deductible, as
the case may be, to the party entitled under this Agreement to retain such payment
or required under this Agreement to make such payment, in either case except as
otherwise required by applicable Law.

 

5.8                                 Remedies Cumulative; Limitations of Liability.  The rights provided in this Article V
shall be cumulative and, subject to the provisions of Article VII,
shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnified Party of any other rights or
the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Spinco
or its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, nor GGP or its Subsidiaries, on the other
hand, shall be liable to the other for any special, indirect, punitive,
exemplary, remote, speculative or similar damages in excess of compensatory
damages (collectively, “Special Damages”) of the other arising in
connection with the Transactions (provided, that any such liability with
respect to a Third Party Claim shall be considered direct damages).

 

5.9                                 Survival of Indemnities.  The rights and obligations of each of GGP and
Spinco and their respective Indemnified Parties under this Article V
shall survive the sale or other transfer by any party of any Assets or
businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities.

 

5.10                           Guarantees.

 

(a)                                  Except as otherwise specified in any other Transaction Document, on or
prior to the Effective Time or as soon as practicable thereafter, (i) GGP
shall (with the reasonable cooperation of the applicable member(s) of the
Spinco Group) use its commercially reasonable efforts to have any member(s) of
the Spinco Group removed as guarantor of or obligor for any Excluded Liability,
to the extent that they relate to Excluded Liabilities, and (ii)

 

41

 

Spinco shall (with the
reasonable cooperation of the applicable member(s) of the GGP Group) use
its commercially reasonable efforts to have any member(s) of the GGP Group
removed as guarantor of or obligor for any Spinco Liability, to the extent that
they relate to Spinco Liabilities.

 

(b)                                 On or prior to the Effective Time, to the extent required to obtain a
release from a guarantee (a “Guarantee Release”):

 

(i)                                     of any member of the GGP Group, Spinco shall execute a guarantee
agreement in the form of the existing guarantee or such other form as is agreed
to by the relevant parties to such guarantee agreement, except to the extent
that such existing guarantee contains representations, covenants or other terms
or provisions either (A) with which Spinco would be reasonably unable to
comply or (B) which would be reasonably expected to be breached; and

 

(ii)                                  of any member of the Spinco Group, GGP shall execute a guarantee
agreement in the form of the existing guarantee or such other form as is agreed
to by the relevant parties to such guarantee agreement, except to the extent
that such existing guarantee contains representations, covenants or other terms
or provisions either (A) with which GGP would be reasonably unable to
comply or (B) which would be reasonably expected to be breached.

 

(c)                                  If GGP or Spinco is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any
such required removal as set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 5.10,
(i) the relevant member of the GGP Group or Spinco Group, as applicable,
that has assumed the Liability with respect to such guarantee shall indemnify
and hold harmless the guarantor or obligor for any Liability arising from or
relating thereto (in accordance with the provisions of this Article V)
and shall or shall cause one (1) of its Subsidiaries, as agent or
subcontractor for such guarantor or obligor to pay, perform and discharge fully
all the obligations or other Liabilities of such guarantor or obligor
thereunder, and (ii) each of GGP and Spinco, on behalf of themselves and
the members of their respective Groups, agree not to renew or extend the term
of, increase its obligations under, or transfer to a third Person, any loan,
guarantee, lease, Contract or other obligation for which the other party or
member of such party’s Group is or may be liable unless all obligations of such
other party and the other members of such party’s Group with respect thereto
are thereupon terminated by documentation reasonably satisfactory in form and
substance to such party; provided, however, with respect to
leases, in the event a Guarantee Release is not obtained and the relevant beneficiary
wishes to extend the term of such guaranteed lease, then such beneficiary shall
have the option of extending the term if it provides such security as is
reasonably satisfactory to the guarantor under such guaranteed lease.

except as contemplated by or otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document, without the prior written consent of Spinco (which may be
withheld in Spinco’s sole discretion), GGP shall not, and shall cause its
Subsidiaries and officers, directors, employees, and other agents and
representatives, including attorneys, agents, customers, suppliers,
contractors, consultants and other representatives of any Person providing
financing (collectively,

 

43

 

“Representatives”),
not to, directly or indirectly, disclose, reveal, divulge or communicate to any
Person other than Representatives of such party or of its Subsidiaries who
reasonably need to know such information to provide services to any member of
the GGP Group, or use or otherwise exploit for its own benefit or for the
benefit of any third Person, any Spinco Confidential Information.  If any disclosures are made in connection
with providing services to any member of the GGP Group under this Agreement or
any other Transaction Document, then the Spinco Confidential Information so
disclosed shall be used for the sole purpose of performing such services.  GGP shall use the same degree of care to
prevent and restrain the unauthorized use or disclosure of the Spinco
Confidential Information by any of its Representatives as it currently uses for
its own confidential information of a like nature, but in no event less than a
reasonable standard of care.  For
purposes of this Section 6.2(a), any Information, material or
document exclusively relating to the Spinco Business that is furnished to, or
in the possession of, GGP, irrespective of the form of communication, and all
notes, analyses, compilations, forecasts, data, translations, studies,

other than Spinco or its Subsidiaries or (iii) is developed independently
by GGP without reference to the Spinco Confidential Information; provided,
however, that, in the case of clause (ii), the source of such
information was not known by GGP to be bound by a confidentiality agreement
with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality
to, Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group with respect to such information.

 

(b)                                 From and after the Effective Time, subject to Section 6.2(d) and
except as contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document,
without the prior written consent of GGP (which may be withheld in GGP’s sole
discretion), Spinco shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and their
respective Representatives, not to, directly or indirectly, disclose, reveal,
divulge or communicate to any Person other than Representatives of such party
or of its Subsidiaries who reasonably need to know such information to provide
services to Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group, or use or otherwise
exploit for its own benefit or for the benefit of any third Person, any GGP Confidential
Information.  If any disclosures are made
in connection with providing services to any member of the Spinco Group under
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, then the GGP Confidential
Information so disclosed shall be used for the sole purpose of performing such
services.  The Spinco Group shall use the
same degree of care to prevent and restrain the unauthorized use or disclosure
of the GGP Confidential Information by any of their Representatives as they
currently use for their own confidential information of a like nature, but in
no event less than a reasonable standard of care.  For purposes of this Section 6.2(b),

the form of communication, and all notes, analyses, compilations, forecasts,
data, translations, studies, memoranda or other documents prepared by Spinco,
any member of the Spinco Group or their respective officers, directors and
Subsidiaries, that contain or otherwise reflect such information, material or
document, is herein referred to as 

 

44

 

“GGP Confidential
Information.”  GGP Confidential
Information does not include, and there shall be no obligation hereunder with
respect to, information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the
public, other than as a result of a disclosure by any member of the Spinco
Group not otherwise permissible hereunder, (ii) Spinco can demonstrate was
or became available to Spinco from a source other than GGP and its respective
Subsidiaries or (iii) is developed independently by such member of the
Spinco Group without reference to the GGP Confidential Information; provided,
however, that, in the case of clause (ii), the source of such
information was not known by Spinco to be bound by a confidentiality agreement
with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality
to, GGP or its Subsidiaries with respect to such information.

 

(c)                                  From and after the Effective Time, subject to Section 6.2(d) and
except as contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document,
without the prior written consent of the other party (not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed), each party shall not, and shall cause its
Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives, not to, directly or
indirectly, disclose, reveal, divulge or communicate any Shared Information to
any Person other than Representatives of such party or of its Subsidiaries who
reasonably need to know such information for the purpose of operating such
party’s business in its ordinary course. 
The GGP Group and the Spinco Group shall use the same degree of care to
prevent and restrain the unauthorized use or disclosure of the Shared
Information by any of their Representatives as they currently use for their own
confidential information of a like nature, but in no event less than a
reasonable standard of care.  For
purposes of this Section 6.2(c), any Information, material or
document relating to both (i) the businesses currently or formerly
conducted, or proposed to be conducted, by GGP or any of its Subsidiaries
(other than any member of the Spinco Group) and (ii) the Spinco Business
that is furnished to, or in the possession of, any member of the GGP Group or
any member of the Spinco Group, irrespective of the form of communication, and
all notes, analyses, compilations, forecasts, data, translations, studies,
memoranda or other documents prepared by, for or on behalf of the party
possessing such Information, material or document, is herein referred to as “Shared
Information.”  Shared Information
does not include, and there shall be no obligation hereunder with respect to,
information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public,
other than as a result of a disclosure by any member of the GGP Group or any
member of the Spinco Group (as applicable) not otherwise permissible hereunder,
(ii) GGP or Spinco (as applicable) can demonstrate was or became available
to such party from a source other than the other party and its respective
Subsidiaries or (iii) is developed independently without reference to the
Shared Information; provided, however, that, in the case of
clause (ii), the source of such information was not known by such party to be
bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or
fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, the other party or its Subsidiaries
with respect to such information.

 

(d)                                 If GGP or its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, or Spinco or its
Subsidiaries, on the other hand, are requested or required (by oral question,
interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil
investigative demand or similar process) by any Governmental Authority or
pursuant to applicable Law to disclose or provide any Shared Information
(applicable to both parties) or Spinco Confidential Information or GGP
Confidential Information (as applicable), the Person receiving such request or
demand shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the other party
with written notice of such request or demand as promptly as practicable under
the circumstances so that such other party shall have an 

 

45

 

opportunity to seek an
appropriate protective order.  The party
receiving such request or demand agrees to take, and cause its representatives
to take, at the requesting party’s expense, all other reasonable steps
necessary to obtain confidential treatment by the recipient.  Subject to the foregoing, the party that
received such request or demand may thereafter disclose or provide any Shared
Information, Spinco Confidential Information or GGP Confidential Information,
as the case may be, to the extent required by such Law (as so advised by
counsel) or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority.  This Section 6.2(d) shall
not apply to any Information furnished pursuant to the provisions of Article IV
of this Agreement.

 

(e)                                  Each of GGP and Spinco acknowledges that it and the other members of its
Group may have in their possession confidential or proprietary information of
third Persons that was received under confidentiality or non-disclosure
agreements with such third Person prior to the Plan Effective Date.  GGP and Spinco each agrees that it will hold,
and will cause the other members of its Group and their respective
Representatives to hold, in strict confidence the confidential and proprietary
information of third Persons to which it or any other member of its respective
Group has access, in accordance with the terms of any agreements entered into
prior to the Plan Effective Date between or among one (1) or more members
of the applicable party’s Group and such third Persons.

(a)                                  Except as expressly provided herein or in any of the other Transaction
Documents, Spinco acknowledges and agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of
each other member of the Spinco Group, that, from and after the Effective Time,
neither Spinco nor any member of the Spinco Group shall have any rights to or
under any of GGP’s or its Subsidiaries’ insurance policies, other than any
insurance policies acquired prior to the Effective Time directly by and in the
name of a member of the Spinco Group or as expressly provided in this Section 6.3
or in the Transition Services Agreement or the Employee Matters Agreement; provided,
however, that Spinco shall be entitled to any loss recoveries paid to
any member of the GGP Group subsequent to the Effective Time in respect of any
insurance claims to the extent related to the Spinco Business that were
formally filed and open prior to the Effective Time less the amount of (i) any
Liabilities (other than Excluded Liabilities) that GGP or its Subsidiaries

incurred and paid in connection therewith prior to the Effective Time and (ii) any
Liabilities incurred by any member of the GGP Group in connection with
obtaining such insurance recoveries.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding Section 6.3(a), from and after the Effective
Time, with respect to losses, damages, wrongful acts or liability incurred
prior to the Effective Time, Spinco may access GGP’s insurance policies as
follows:

 

(i)                                     to file claims against GGP’s occurrence policies including Workers’
Compensation, Employers Liability, General Liability, Automobile Liability and
Excess Umbrella Policies for losses occurring on or before the Effective Time;
and

 

(ii)                                  to file claims against GGP’s claims made policies including Directors &

be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable insurance policies,
including any limits on coverage or scope, any deductible and other fees and
expenses, and shall be subject to:

 

(A)                              For so long as Spinco may access GGP’s policies, Spinco shall report as
promptly as practicable (1) claims under the Workers’ Compensation and
Automobile Liability policy directly to the applicable insurance company in
accordance with GGP’s claim reporting procedures in effect immediately prior to
the Effective Time and provide copies of such reported claims to GGP’s
Corporate Insurance and Risk Management Department and (2) claims under
all other insurance policies to the GGP Corporate Insurance Department;

 

(B)                                Spinco shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse GGP and its
Subsidiaries for any deductibles and self-insured retention incurred by GGP or
its Subsidiaries to the extent resulting from any access to, any claims made by
Spinco or any of its Subsidiaries under, any insurance provided pursuant to Section 6.3(b)(i) and
Section 6.3(b)(ii), including any indemnity payments, settlements,
judgments, legal fees and allocated claims expenses and claim handling fees,
whether such claims are made by Spinco, its employees or third Persons;

 

(C)                                Spinco shall exclusively bear and be responsible for (and GGP shall have
no obligation to repay or reimburse Spinco or any of its Subsidiaries for) and
pay the applicable insurers as required under the applicable insurance policies
for any and all costs as a result of having access to, or making claims under,
any insurance provided pursuant to Pre-GGP Insurance Policies, including any

the applicable insurance policies, catastrophic coverage charges, overhead,
claim handling and administrative costs, Taxes, surcharges, state assessments,
reinsurance costs, other related costs and claim payments, relating to all
open, closed or re-opened claims covered by the applicable policies, whether
such claims are made by Spinco, its employees or third Persons; and

 

(D)                               Spinco shall exclusively bear (and GGP shall have no obligation to repay
or reimburse Spinco or its Subsidiaries for) and shall be liable for all
uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts of all such claims
made by Spinco or any of its Subsidiaries under the policies as provided for in
this Section 6.3(b).

 

(c)                                  Any payments, costs and adjustments required pursuant to Section 6.3(b) (other
than payments, costs and adjustments with respect to Pre-GGP Insurance
Policies, which payments, costs and adjustments shall be paid by Spinco
directly to the applicable insurers) shall be billed by GGP to Spinco on a
monthly basis and payable within thirty (30) days from receipt of invoice.  If payment is not made within ninety (90)
days of invoice, the outstanding amount will accrue interest from and including
the ninetieth (90th) day following the date of the invoice to (but excluding)

47

 

incurs costs to enforce
Spinco’s obligations herein, Spinco agrees to indemnify GGP for such
enforcement costs, including attorneys’ fees.

 

(d)                                 Except as set forth in the proviso to Section 6.3(a) and
the Employee Matters Agreement, Spinco acknowledges and agrees on its own
behalf, and on behalf of each other member of the Spinco Group, that neither
Spinco nor any member of the Spinco Group shall have any right or claim against
GGP or any of its Subsidiaries for reimbursement, payment or any other
obligation arising from any insurance policy covering Spinco, any Spinco Asset
or any member of the Spinco Group, and hereby irrevocably releases, as of the
Effective Time, GGP and its Subsidiaries from all of the duties, obligations,
responsibilities and liabilities, known or unknown, reported or not reported,
imposed upon GGP or any of its Subsidiaries to the extent resulting from, relating
to or arising out of any such insurance policy, without recourse to GGP or any
of its Subsidiaries.

 

(e)                                  GGP shall retain the exclusive right to control its insurance policies
and programs, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute,
buy-back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its insurance
policies and programs and to amend, modify or waive any rights under any such
insurance policies and programs, notwithstanding whether any such policies or
programs apply to any Spinco Liabilities and/or claims Spinco has made or could
make in the future, and no member of the Spinco Group shall, without the prior
written consent of GGP, erode, exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy-back or
otherwise resolve disputes with GGP’s insurers with respect to any of GGP’s
insurance policies and programs, or amend, modify or waive any rights under any
such insurance policies and programs. 
Spinco shall cooperate with GGP and share such information as is
reasonably necessary in order to permit GGP to manage and conduct its insurance
matters as it deems appropriate.

 

(f)                                    At the Effective Time, Spinco shall have in effect, except as
contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement, all insurance programs
required to comply with law or Spinco’s contractual obligations and such other
insurance policies as reasonably necessary or customary for companies operating
a business similar to Spinco’s.

 

(g)                                 Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.3(i), GGP and its
Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to secure extended reporting for any
claims under any of GGP’s or its Subsidiaries’ claims-made or
occurrence-reported liability policies for any acts or omissions by any member
of the Spinco Group incurred prior to the Effective Time.

 

(h)                                 GGP has obtained and shall provide for the joint benefit of GGP and
Spinco, a fully paid directors and officers liability run-off insurance policy,
for claims made after the Effective Time covering wrongful acts which take
place after the commencement of the Bankruptcy Cases and on or prior to the
Effective Time and arising out of or relating to the entities and business that

with the directors and officers liability insurance policy currently maintained
by GGP (except for the policy period and provisions excluding coverage for
wrongful acts occurring after the Effective Time).

 

(i)                                     This Agreement shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any
policy of insurance or as a contract of insurance and shall not be construed to
waive any right or remedy of any member of the GGP Group in respect of any of
the GGP insurance policies and programs or any other Contract or policy of
insurance.

(vii) the fees and expenses of Deloitte & Touche incurred in
connection with the Form 10 and the information statement contained
therein and/or any other required securities filings, (viii) the fees and
expenses related to the bankruptcy proceeding of GGP  and
(ix) the fees and expenses of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP incurred
in connection with rendering the legal opinions of outside tax counsel
contemplated by Section 3.2(c).

 

6.5                                 Litigation; Cooperation.

 

(a)                                  As of the Effective Time, Spinco shall assume and thereafter, except as
provided in Article V, be responsible for the administration of all
Liabilities that may result from the Assumed Actions and all fees and costs
relating to the defense of the Assumed Actions, including attorneys’ fees and
costs incurred after the Effective Time. 
“Assumed Actions” means those Actions (in which any member of the
GGP Group or any Subsidiary of a member of the GGP Group is a defendant or the
party against whom the claim or investigation is directed) primarily relating
to the Spinco Business, including the Actions listed on Schedule 6.5(a).  Spinco shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause each member of the GGP Group to be removed from the Assumed
Actions; provided, however, that if Spinco is unable to cause
each member of the GGP Group to be removed from an Assumed Action, GGP and
Spinco shall cooperate and consult to the extent necessary or advisable with
respect to such Assumed Action.

 

49

 

(b)                                 The GGP Group shall transfer the Transferred Actions to Spinco, and
Spinco shall receive and have the benefit of all of the proceeds of such
Transferred Actions. “Transferred Actions” means those Actions (in which
any member of the GGP Group or any Subsidiary of a member of the GGP Group is a
plaintiff or claimant) primarily relating to the Spinco Business.  Spinco shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause each member of the GGP Group to be removed from the
Transferred Actions; provided, however, that if Spinco is unable
to cause each member of the GGP Group to be removed from a Transferred Action,
GGP and Spinco shall cooperate and consult to the extent necessary or advisable
with respect to such Transferred Action.

 

(c)                                  (i)                                     GGP agrees that at all times from and after the Effective Time if a Third
Party Claim relating primarily to the GGP Business is commenced naming both a
member of the GGP Group and a member of the Spinco Group as defendants thereto,
then GGP shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such
member of the Spinco Group to be removed from such Third Party Claim; provided,
that, if GGP is unable to cause each such member of the Spinco Group to be
removed from such Third Party Claim, GGP and Spinco shall cooperate and consult
to the extent necessary or advisable with respect to such Third Party Claim.

 

(ii)                                  Spinco agrees that at all times from and after the Effective Time if a
Third Party Claim relating primarily to the Spinco Business is commenced naming
both a member of the GGP Group and a member of the Spinco Group as defendants
thereto, then Spinco shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause
each member of the GGP Group to be removed from such Third Party Claim; provided,
that, if Spinco is unable to cause each member of the GGP Group to be removed
from such Third Party Claim, GGP and Spinco shall cooperate and consult to the
extent necessary or advisable with respect to such Third Party Claim.

 

(iii)                               GGP and Spinco agree that at all times from and after the Effective Time
if a Third Party Claim which does not relate primarily to the Spinco Business
or the GGP Business is commenced naming both GGP (or any member of the GGP
Group) and Spinco (or any member of the Spinco Group) as defendants thereto,
then GGP and Spinco shall cooperate fully with each other, maintain a joint
defense (in a manner that would preserve for both parties and their respective
Subsidiaries any attorney-client privilege, joint defense or other privilege
with respect thereto) and consult each other to the extent necessary or
advisable with respect to such Third Party Claim.

 

(d)                                 GGP and Spinco agree that, with respect to any Assumed Action,
Transferred Action, Third Party Claim, or any other Action to which either a
member of the GGP Group or a member of the Spinco Group is a party and that is
governed by this Section 6.5, neither GGP or any member of the GGP
Group, on the one hand, nor Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group, on the
other hand, shall settle such Action in a manner that would reasonably be
expected to result in any liability or equitable relief, contingent or
otherwise, against the other.

 

6.6                                 Tax Matters.  GGP and Spinco shall enter into the Tax
Matters Agreement on or prior to the Plan Effective Date.  To the extent any representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements between the parties with respect to Taxes
or other matters are set forth in the Tax 

 

50

 

Matters Agreement, such
Taxes and other matters shall be governed exclusively by the Tax Matters
Agreement and not by this Agreement.

 

6.7                                 Employment Matters.  GGP and Spinco shall enter into the Employee
Matters Agreement concurrent with this Agreement.  To the extent that any representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements between the parties with respect to
employment matters are set forth in the Employee Matters Agreement, such
employment matters shall be governed exclusively by the Employee Matters
Agreement and not by this Agreement, if applicable, with respect to Spinco
Employees.

 

6.8                                 Real Estate Agreements.  GGP and Spinco shall enter into the Real
Estate Agreements on or prior to the Plan Effective Date.  To the extent that any representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements between the parties with respect to the
subject matters contemplated by the Real Estate Agreements are set forth in the
Real Estate Agreements, such subject matters shall be governed exclusively by
the Real Estate Agreements and not by this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE VII

 

DISPUTE
RESOLUTION

 

7.1                                 General Provisions.

 

(a)                                  Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this
Agreement that arises prior to the closing of the Bankruptcy Cases (such time,
the “Bankruptcy Closing”) shall be subject to the jurisdiction of
and determination by the Bankruptcy Court, and any dispute, controversy or
claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement that arises after the
Bankruptcy Closing shall be subject to the procedures in this Article VII.  Each of the parties hereto (i) consents
to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court (prior to the
Bankruptcy Closing) or the procedures set forth in this Article VII
(after the Bankruptcy Closing) in connection with any dispute arising out of or
relating to this Agreement, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny
or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from
such courts for actions brought prior to the Bankruptcy Closing and (iii) agrees
that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement in any court other
than the Bankruptcy Court (prior to the Bankruptcy Closing), unless such court
first determines it does not have subject matter jurisdiction or otherwise
declines to hear the dispute.

 

(b)                                 Subject to Section 7.1(a), any dispute, controversy or claim
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents
(other than the Transition Services Agreement and the Tax Matters Agreement,
which shall be subject to the dispute resolution provisions contained therein),
or the validity, interpretation, breach or termination thereof that arises
after the final determination of the Bankruptcy Cases (a “Dispute”),
shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article VII,
which shall be the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of any such
Dispute unless otherwise specified in the applicable Transaction Document or in
this Article VII below.

 

51

 

(c)                                  Commencing with a request contemplated by Section 7.2 set
forth below, all communications between the parties or their representatives in
connection with the attempted resolution of any Dispute shall be deemed to have
been delivered in furtherance of a Dispute settlement and shall be exempt from
discovery and production, and shall not be admissible into evidence for any
reason (whether as an admission or otherwise), in any arbitral or other
proceeding for the resolution of any Dispute.

 

(d)                                 THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE AND FOREGO ANY RIGHT TO (I) SPECIAL
DAMAGES, AS DEFINED HEREIN (PROVIDED, THAT LIABILITY FOR ANY SUCH
SPECIAL DAMAGES, AS DEFINED HEREIN, WITH RESPECT TO ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIM SHALL
BE CONSIDERED DIRECT DAMAGES) AND (II) TRIAL BY JURY.

 

(e)                                  The specific procedures set forth in this Article VII below,
including the time limits referenced therein, may be modified by agreement of
both of the parties in writing.

 

(f)                                    All applicable statutes of limitations and defenses based upon the
passage of time shall be tolled while the procedures specified in this Article VII
are pending.  The parties will take any
necessary or appropriate action required to effectuate such tolling.

 

7.2                                 Consideration by Senior Executives.  Following the Bankruptcy Closing, if a
Dispute is not resolved in the normal course of business at the operational
level, the parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute by
negotiation between the Groups’ executives who hold, respectively, the office
of Vice President (or a more senior office). 
Either party may initiate the executive negotiation process by providing
a written notice to the other (the “Initial Notice”).  Within fifteen (15) days, the receiving party
shall submit to the other a written response (the “Response”).  The Initial Notice and the Response shall
include (i) a statement of the Dispute and of each party’s position and
(ii) the name and title of the executive who will represent that party and
of any other person who will accompany the executive.  The parties agree that such executives shall
have full and complete authority to resolve any Disputes submitted pursuant to
this Section 7.2.  Such
executives will meet in person or by teleconference or video conference within
thirty (30) days (or, where the Dispute relates to the a matter controlled by
the Transition Services Agreement, then within the time periods set forth
therein with respect to the Transition Services Agreement, twenty-five (25)
days) of the date of the Initial Notice to seek a resolution of the
Dispute.  In the event that the
executives are unable to agree to a location or format for such meeting, the
meeting shall be convened by teleconference.

 

7.3                                 Arbitration.

 

(a)                                  Following the Bankruptcy Closing, if a Dispute is not resolved by
negotiation as provided in Section 7.2 within forty-five (45) days
(or, where the Dispute relates to the Transition Services Agreement, thirty
(30) days) from the delivery of the Initial Notice, then either party shall (i) pursuant
to its rights under Section 7.1, submit a request for interim
injunctive relief to the arbitrator appointed pursuant to Section 7.3(b) (provided,
that, if the tribunal shall not have been constituted, either party may seek
interim relief either before a special arbitrator, as provided for in Rule 14
of the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution (the “CPR”) Arbitration
Rules, or before any court of competent jurisdiction) without first complying 

 

52

 

with the provisions of Section 7.2
if, in the reasonable opinion of such party, such interim injunctive relief is
necessary to preserve its rights pending resolution of the Dispute, and
(ii) if such Dispute is not finally resolved pursuant to Section 7.2,
submit such Dispute to be finally resolved by binding arbitration, in each
case, pursuant to the CPR Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration as then
in effect (the “CPR Arbitration Rules”).

 

(b)                                 The neutral organization for purposes of the CPR Arbitration Rules will
be the CPR.  The arbitrator will be
composed of one (1) arbitrator.  The
one (1) arbitrator will be appointed by CPR from a list of six (6) proposed
neutrals submitted by the CPR.  Each
party may strike no more than two (2) neutrals from the list submitted by
CPR.

 

(c)                                  Arbitration will take place in the Borough of Manhattan in New York, New
York.  Along with the arbitrator
appointed, the parties will agree to a mutually convenient date and time to
conduct the arbitration, but in no event will the hearing(s) be scheduled
less than nine (9) months from submission of the Dispute to arbitration
unless the parties agree otherwise in writing; provided, that, if
injunctive or other interim relief contemplated by Section 7.3(d) below
is requested, the hearing(s) will be expedited in accordance with any
order entered by the court, tribunal or special arbitrator adjudicating that
request.

 

(d)                                 The arbitrator will have the right to award, on an interim basis, or include
in the final award, money damages (with interest on unpaid amounts from the due
date), injunctive relief (including specific performance) and attorneys’ fees
and costs; provided, that the arbitrator will not award any relief not
specifically requested by the parties and, in any event, will not award Special
Damages.  Upon appointment of the
arbitrator following any grant of interim relief by a special arbitrator or
court pursuant to Sections 7.3(a) and 7.4, the tribunal may
affirm or disaffirm that relief, and the parties will seek modification or
rescission of the order entered by the special arbitrator or court as necessary
to accord with the tribunal’s decision.

 

(e)                                  The parties agree to be bound by the provisions of Rule 13 of the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure with respect to compulsory counterclaims
(as the same may be amended from time to time); provided, that any such
compulsory counterclaim shall be filed within thirty (30) days of the filing of
the original claim.

 

(f)                                    So long as either party has a timely claim to assert, the agreement to
arbitrate Disputes set forth in this Section 7.3 will continue in
full force and effect subsequent to, and notwithstanding the completion,
expiration or termination of, this Agreement.

 

(g)                                 A party obtaining an order of interim injunctive relief may enter
judgment upon such award in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The final award in an arbitration pursuant to
this Article VII shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties,
and a party obtaining a final award may enter judgment upon such award in any
court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(h)                                 It is the intent of the parties that the agreement to arbitrate Disputes
set forth in this Section 7.3 shall be interpreted and applied
broadly such that all reasonable doubts as to arbitrability of a Dispute shall
be decided in favor of arbitration.

 

53

 

(i)                                     If a Dispute includes both arbitrable and nonarbitrable claims,
counterclaims or defenses, the parties shall arbitrate all such arbitrable
claims, counterclaims or defenses and shall concurrently litigate all such
nonarbitrable claims, counterclaims or defenses.

 

(j)                                     The parties agree that any Dispute submitted to mediation and/or
arbitration shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance
with, Section 8.2 and, except as otherwise provided in this Article VII
or mutually agreed to in writing by the parties, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9
U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq., shall govern any arbitration between the parties pursuant
to this Section 7.3.

 

(k)                                  Each party shall bear (i) its own fees, costs
and expenses and (ii) an equal share of other expenses of the arbitration,
including the fees, costs and expenses of the one (1) arbitrator; provided,
in the case of any Disputes relating to the parties’ rights and obligations
with respect to indemnification under Article V, the prevailing
party shall be entitled to reimbursement by the other party of its reasonable
out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in
connection with the arbitration.

 

7.4                                 Specific Performance.  In the event of any actual or threatened
default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this
Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement, the Employee Matters Agreement or any of
the Real Estate Agreements, the party or parties who are or are to be thereby
aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other
equitable relief (on an interim or permanent basis) of its rights under such agreement,
in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and
all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative.  The parties agree that the remedies at law
for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages, may be inadequate
compensation for any loss and that any defense in any action for specific
performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived.  Any requirements for the securing or posting
of any bond with such remedy are waived by each of the parties to this
Agreement.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, except with respect to breaches of Section 6.2 of this
Agreement, specific performance can only be sought and granted in proceedings
before the Bankruptcy Court or the independent arbitrator pursuant to this Article VII.

8.6                                 Termination.  Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary, this Agreement may be terminated and the Distribution abandoned at
any time prior to the Effective Time by and in the sole discretion of GGP
without the prior approval of any Person, including Spinco.  In the event of such termination, this
Agreement shall become void and no party, or any of its officers and directors,
shall have any liability to any Person by reason of this Agreement.  After the Effective Time, this Agreement may
not be terminated except by an agreement in writing signed by each of the
parties to this Agreement.

 

8.7                                 Severability.  If any term or other provision of this
Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced under any Law or

shall remain in full force and effect. 
Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid,
illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties to this Agreement shall
negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original
intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in
order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as
originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

 

8.8                                 Entire Agreement.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Agreement, this Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto)
constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and
undertakings, both written and oral, between or on behalf of the parties hereto
with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

 

8.9                                 Assignment; No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement shall not be assigned by
either party without the prior written consent of the other party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party
may assign (i) any or all of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement to any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) any or all of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement in connection with a sale or disposition of
any assets or entities or lines of business; provided, however,
that, in each case, no such assignment shall (i) release the assigning
party from any liability or obligation under this Agreement or (ii) change
any of the steps in the Spinoff Plan or the Plan.  Except as provided in Article V
with respect to Indemnified Parties, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of
the parties to this Agreement and members of their 

 

56

their permitted successors and assigns and nothing in this Agreement, express
or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or
equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason
of this Agreement.

 

8.10                           Public Announcements.  From and after the Effective Time, GGP and
Spinco shall consult with each other before issuing, and give each other the

statements with respect to any matters covered by this Agreement, and shall not
issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such
consultation, except as may be required by applicable Law, court process or by
obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities
exchange or national securities quotation system.

 

8.11                           Amendment.  No provision of this Agreement may be amended
or modified except by a written instrument signed by all the parties to this
Agreement.  No waiver by any party of any
provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in
writing and executed by the party so waiving. 
The waiver by any party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement
shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other subsequent breach.
