Item 1.  Business

(a)
General Development of Business

GRT is a fully-integrated, self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”) which was formed on September 1, 1993 to continue the business of The Glimcher Company (“TGC”) and its affiliates, of owning, leasing, acquiring, developing and operating a portfolio of retail properties consisting of regional and super regional malls and community shopping centers (including single tenant retail properties). Enclosed regional and super regional malls in which we hold an ownership position (including joint venture interests) are referred to as “Malls” and community shopping centers (including single tenant retail properties) in which we hold an ownership position are referred to as “Community Centers.” The Malls and Community Centers may from time to time be individually referred to herein as a “Property” and collectively referred to herein as the “Properties.” On January 26, 1994, GRT consummated an initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 18,198,000 of its common shares of beneficial interest (the “Common Shares”) including 2,373,750 over allotment option shares. The net proceeds of the IPO were used by GRT primarily to acquire (at the time of the IPO) an 86.2% interest in Glimcher Properties Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership,” “OP” or “GPLP”), a Delaware limited partnership of which Glimcher Properties Corporation (“GPC”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of GRT, is sole general partner. At December 31, 2005, GRT held a 91.6% interest in the Operating Partnership.

GRT, the Operating Partnership and entities directly or indirectly owned or controlled by GRT, on a consolidated basis, are hereinafter referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our.”

The Company does not engage or pay a REIT advisor. Management, leasing, accounting, legal, design and construction supervision expertise is provided through its own personnel, or, where appropriate, through outside professionals.
 
(b)
Narrative Description of Business

General: The Company is a recognized leader in the ownership, management, acquisition and development of regional and super-regional malls. At December 31, 2005, the Properties consisted of 25 Malls (24 wholly-owned and 1 partially owned through a joint venture) containing an aggregate of 22.7 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”) and 11 Community Centers (including one single tenant retail property) containing an aggregate of 1.9 million square feet of GLA. The Company also provides leasing, legal and property management services for Jefferson Pointe, a 545,000 square foot open-air lifestyle retail center in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The Company has no ownership interest in Jefferson Pointe and therefore excludes it from the Company’s reporting of property results. Management fee income earned from managing Jefferson Pointe is reported in the consolidated financial statements.

For purposes of computing occupancy statistics, anchors are defined as tenants whose space is equal to or greater than 20,000 square feet of GLA. This definition is consistent with the industry’s standard definition determined by the International Council of Shopping Centers (“ICSC”). All tenant spaces less than 20,000 square feet and outparcels are considered to be stores. The Company computes occupancy on an economic basis, which means only those spaces where the store is open or the tenant is paying rent are considered as occupied. The Company includes GLA for certain anchors and outparcels that are owned by third parties. Mall anchors, which are owned by third parties and are open, and/or are obligated to pay the Company charges, are considered occupied when reporting occupancy statistics. Community Center anchors owned by third parties are excluded from the Company’s GLA. These differences in treatment between Malls and Community Centers are consistent with industry practice. Outparcels at both Community Center and Mall Properties are included in GLA if the Company owns the land or building. The outparcels where a third party owns the land and buildings, but contributes nominal ancillary charges are excluded from GLA.

As of December 31, 2005, the occupancy rate for all of the Properties was 91.9% of GLA. The occupied GLA was leased at 84.9%, 7.9% and 7.2% to national, regional and local retailers, respectively. The Company’s focus is to maintain high occupancy rates for the Properties by capitalizing on management’s long-standing relationships with national and regional tenants and its extensive experience in marketing to local retailers.

As of December 31, 2005, the Properties had annualized minimum rents of $228.3 million. Approximately 81.9%, 7.6% and 10.5% of the annualized minimum rents of the Properties as of December 31, 2005 were derived from national, regional and local retailers, respectively. There are no tenants representing more than 5.0% of the aggregate annualized minimum rents of the Properties as of December 31, 2005.

Malls: The Malls provide a broad range of shopping alternatives to serve the needs of customers in all market segments. Each Mall is anchored by multiple department stores such as Belk’s, The Bon-Ton, Boscov’s, Dillard’s, Elder-Beerman, Foley’s, JCPenney, Kaufmann’s, Kohl’s, Macy’s, Meier & Frank Co., Nordstrom, Parisian, Saks, Sears and Von Maur. Mall stores, most of which are national retailers, include Abercrombie & Fitch, American Eagle Outfitters, Banana Republic, Barnes & Noble, Bath & Body Works, The Disney Store, Finish Line, Foot Locker, Gap, Hallmark, Kay Jewelers, The Limited, Limited Express, New York and Company, Old Navy, Pacific Sunwear, Radio Shack, Victoria’s Secret, Waldenbooks and Zales Jewelers. To provide a complete shopping, dining and entertainment experience, the Malls generally have at least one theme restaurant, a food court which offers a variety of fast food alternatives, and, in certain of the Malls, multiple screen movie theaters and other entertainment activities. The largest operating Mall has 1.6 million square feet of GLA and approximately 140 stores, while the smallest has 441,000 square feet of GLA and approximately 60 stores. The Malls also have additional restaurants and retail businesses, such as P.F. Chang’s, The Palm, Red Lobster, Best Buy and Pier One, located along the perimeter of the parking areas.

As of December 31, 2005, the Malls accounted for 92.4% of the total GLA, 94.9% of the aggregate annualized minimum rents of the Properties and had an overall occupancy rate of 93.2%.

Community Centers: The Company’s Community Centers are designed to attract local and regional area customers and are typically anchored by a combination of discount department stores, supermarkets or drug stores (“Community Anchors”) which attract shoppers to each center’s smaller shops. The tenants at the Company’s Community Centers typically offer day-to-day necessities and value-oriented merchandise. Community Anchors include nationally recognized retailers such as JCPenney, Kmart and supermarkets such as Kroger. Many of the Community Centers have retail businesses or restaurants located along the perimeter of the parking areas.
 
4

As of December 31, 2005, the Community Centers accounted for 7.6% of the total GLA, 5.1% of the aggregate annualized minimum rents of the Properties and had an overall occupancy rate of 75.8%.

Growth Strategies and Operating Policies: Management of the Company believes per share growth in both net income and funds from operations (“FFO”) are important factors in enhancing shareholder value. The Company believes that the presentation of FFO provides useful information to investors and a relevant basis for comparison among REITS. Specifically, the Company believes that FFO is a supplemental measure of the Company’s operating performance as it is a recognized standard in the real estate industry, in particular, real estate investment trusts. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as net income (loss) available to common shareholders (computed in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”)), excluding gains or losses from sales of depreciable property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO does include impairment losses for properties held for use and held for sale. The Company’s FFO may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other real estate investment trusts. FFO does not represent cash flow from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indication of the Company’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. A reconciliation of FFO to net income available to common shareholders is provided in Item 7.

GRT intends to operate in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to REITs and related regulations with respect to the composition of the Company’s portfolio and the derivation of income unless, because of circumstances or changes in the Code (or any related regulation), the trustees of GRT determine that it is no longer in the best interests of GRT to qualify as a REIT.

The Company’s acquisition strategies are to selectively acquire strategically located properties in markets where management has extensive operating experience. Such strategy is focused on dominant anchored retail properties within the top 100 metropolitan markets by population that have near-term upside potential or offer advantageous opportunities for the Company.

The following factors, among others, are considered by the Company in making acquisitions: (i) the geographic area and type of property; (ii) the location, construction quality, condition and design of the property; (iii) the current FFO generated by the property and the ability to increase FFO through property repositioning and proactive management of the tenant base; (iv) the potential for capital appreciation; (v) the terms of tenant leases; (vi) the existing tenant mix at the property; (vii) the potential for economic growth and the tax and regulatory environment of the communities in which the property is located; (viii) the occupancy rates and demand by tenants for properties of similar type in the vicinity; and (ix) the prospects for financing or refinancing the property.

The Company acquires and develops its Properties as long-term investments. Therefore, its focus is to provide for regular maintenance of its Properties and to conduct periodic renovations and refurbishments to preserve and increase Property values while also increasing the retail sales prospects of its tenants. The projects usually include renovating existing facades, installing uniform signage, updating interior decor, replacement of roofs and skylights, resurfacing parking lots and increasing parking lot lighting. To meet the needs of existing or new tenants and changing consumer demands, the Company also reconfigures and expands its Properties, including utilizing land available for expansion and development of outparcels or the addition of new anchors. In addition, the Company works closely with its tenants to renovate their stores and enhance their merchandising capabilities.
 
Financing Strategies: At December 31, 2005, the Company had a total-debt-to-total-market-capitalization ratio of 56.1% based upon the closing price of the Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange as of December 31, 2005. The Company is working to maintain this ratio in the mid-fifty percent range by managing outstanding debt and increasing the value of its outstanding Common Shares. The Company expects that it may, from time to time, re-evaluate its policy with respect to its ratio of total-debt-to-total-market capitalization in light of then current economic conditions; relative costs of debt and equity capital; market values of its Properties; acquisition, development and expansion opportunities; and other factors, including meeting the taxable income distribution requirement for REITs under the Code in the event the Company has taxable income without receipt of cash sufficient to enable the Company to meet such distribution requirements. The Company’s preference is to obtain fixed rate, long-term debt for its Properties. At December 31, 2005, 82.8% of total Company debt was fixed rate. Shorter term and variable rate debt typically is employed for Properties anticipated to be expanded or redeveloped.

5

Competition: All of the Properties are located in areas that have shopping centers and/or malls and other retail facilities. Generally, there are other retail properties within a five-mile radius of a Property. The amount of rentable retail space in the vicinity of the Company’s Properties could have a material adverse effect on the amount of rent charged by the Company and on the Company’s ability to rent vacant space and/or renew leases of such Properties. There are numerous commercial developers, real estate companies and major retailers that compete with the Company in seeking land for development, properties for acquisition and tenants for properties, some of which may have greater financial resources than the Company and more operating or development experience than that of the Company. There are numerous shopping facilities that compete with the Company’s Properties in attracting retailers to lease space. In addition, retailers at the Properties may face increasing competition from e-commerce, outlet malls, discount shopping clubs, catalog companies, direct mail, telemarketing and home shopping networks.

Employees: At December 31, 2005, the Company had an aggregate of 1,128 employees, of which 567 were part-time.

Seasonality: The shopping center industry is seasonal in nature, particularly in the Company’s fourth quarter during the holiday season when retailer occupancy and retail sales are typically at their highest levels. In addition, shopping malls achieve a substantial portion of their specialty (temporary retailer) rents during the holiday season.

Tax Status: GRT believes it has been organized and operated in a manner that qualifies for taxation as a REIT and intends to continue to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. As such, GRT generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes at least 90.0% of its REIT ordinary taxable income to its shareholders. Additionally, the Company must satisfy certain requirements regarding its organization, ownership and certain other requirements, such as a requirement that its shares be transferable. Moreover, the Company must meet certain tests regarding its income and assets. At least 75.0% of the Company’s gross income must be derived from passive income closely connected with real estate activities. In addition, 95.0% of the Company’s gross income must be derived from these same sources, plus dividends, interest and certain capital gains. To meet the asset test, at the close of each quarter of the taxable year, at least 75.0% of the value of the total assets must be represented by real estate assets, cash and cash equivalent items (including receivables), and government securities. In addition, to qualify as a REIT, there are several rules limiting the amount and type of securities that GRT can own, including the requirement that not more than 25.0% of the value of the total assets can be represented by securities. If GRT fails to meet the requirements to qualify for REIT status, the Company may cease to qualify as a REIT and may be subject to certain penalty taxes. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate rates. As a qualified REIT, the Company is subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

There are many factors that affect our business and the results of our operations, many of which are beyond our control. The following is a description of the most significant factors that might cause the actual results of operations in future periods to differ materially from those currently expected or desired.

We are subject to risks inherent in owning real estate investments.
 
Real property investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. If our properties do not generate sufficient income to meet expenses, our ability to make dividend distributions to you and the value of your shares will be adversely affected by the economic climate and certain local conditions including:
 
oversupply of space or reduced demand for rental space and newly developed properties;
 
the attractiveness of our properties compared to other space;
 
our ability to provide adequate maintenance; and
 
fluctuations in real estate taxes, insurance and other operating costs.
 
Applicable laws, including tax laws, interest rate levels and the availability of financing, may adversely affect our income and real estate values. In addition, real estate investments are relatively illiquid and, therefore, our ability to sell our properties quickly may be limited. We cannot be sure that we will be able to lease space as tenants move out or as to the rents we may be able to charge new tenants at such space.
 
Our insurance coverage in the future may not include adequate amounts of terrorism insurance.

Our all risk property insurance policies include coverage for foreign and domestic acts of terrorism on our consolidated real estate assets through January 1, 2007. In the future, insurers may limit the amount of coverage available to us for terrorism insurance on our properties (or we may not be able to obtain such insurance at all), or the cost of property and liability insurance policies including coverage for acts of terrorism may be unreasonable. As a result, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain adequate amounts of terrorism insurance on our properties after January 1, 2007 or, if we can, that the premiums for the insurance will be reasonable.

We rely on major tenants.
 
At December 31, 2005, our three largest tenants were Gap, Inc., Limited Brands, Inc. and Foot Locker, Inc., representing 3.2%, 2.8% and 2.7% of our annualized minimum rents, respectively. No other tenant represented more than 2.5% of the aggregate annualized minimum rents of our properties as of such date. Our financial position and ability to make distributions may be adversely affected by the bankruptcy, insolvency, or general downturn in the business of any such tenant, or in the event any such tenant does not renew a number of its leases as they expires.
 
Bankruptcy of our tenants or downturns in our tenants’ businesses may reduce our cash flow.
 
Since we derive almost all of our income from rental payments, our cash available for distribution would be adversely affected if a significant number of our tenants were unable to meet their obligations to us, or if we were unable to lease vacant space in our properties on economically favorable terms. A tenant may seek the protection of the bankruptcy laws, which could result in the termination of its lease causing a reduction in our cash available for distribution. A downturn in a tenant’s business may result in a reduction in the rent based on a percentage of the tenant’s sales. Furthermore, certain of our tenants, including anchor tenants, hold the right under their lease(s) to terminate their lease(s) or reduce their rental rate if certain occupancy conditions are not met, if certain anchor tenants are closed, if certain sales levels or profit margins are not achieved, or if an exclusive use provision is violated.
 
7

We face significant competition that may decrease the occupancy and rental rates of our properties.
 
We compete with many commercial developers, real estate companies and major retailers. Some of these entities develop or own malls, value-oriented retail properties and community shopping centers that compete for tenants. We face competition for prime locations and for tenants. New regional malls or other retail shopping centers with more convenient locations or better rents may attract tenants or cause them to seek more favorable lease terms at or prior to renewal. Retailers at our properties may face increasing competition from other retailers, e-commerce, outlet malls, discount shopping clubs, catalog companies, direct mail, telemarketing and home shopping networks all of which could affect their ability to pay rent or desire to occupy the property.
 
The failure to fully recover from tenants cost reimbursements for common area maintenance (“CAM”), taxes and insurance could adversely affect our operating results.
 
The computation of cost reimbursements from tenants for CAM, insurance and real estate taxes is complex and involves numerous judgments including interpretation of terms and other tenant lease provisions. Most tenants make monthly fixed payments of CAM, real estate taxes and other cost reimbursements items. After the end of the calendar year, we compute each tenant’s final cost reimbursements and issue a bill or credit for the full amount, after considering amounts paid by the tenants during the year. Final adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2005 have not yet been determined. At December 31, 2005, we had recorded in accounts receivables $5.5 million of costs expected to be recovered from tenants during the first six months of 2006. There can be no assurance that we will collect all or substantially all of this amount.
 
The results of operations for our properties depend on the economic conditions of the regions of the United States in which they are located.
 
Our results of operations and distributions to you will be subject generally to economic conditions in the regions in which our properties are located. For the year ended December 31, 2005, approximately 31% of annualized minimum rents came from our properties located in Ohio.
 
We may be unable to successfully develop properties or operate developed properties.
 
As a result of economic and other conditions and required government approvals, development projects may not be pursued or may be completed later or with higher costs than anticipated. Development activities involve significant risks, including:
 
·
the expenditure of funds on and devotion of time to projects which may not come to fruition;
 
·
increased construction costs, possibly making the project uneconomical;
 
·
an inability to obtain construction financing and permanent financing on favorable terms; and
 
·
occupancy rates and rents not sufficient to make a project profitable.
 
In the event of an unsuccessful development project, our loss could exceed our investment in the project.
 
We could incur significant costs related to environmental issues.
 
Under some environmental laws, a current or previous owner or operator of real property, and parties that generate or transport hazardous substances that are disposed of on real property, may be liable for the costs of investigating and remediating these substances on or under the property. In connection with the ownership or operation of our properties, we could be liable for such costs which could be substantial and even exceed the value of such property or the value of our aggregate assets. The failure to remediate toxic substances may adversely affect our ability to sell or rent any of our properties or to borrow funds. In addition, environmental laws may require us to expend substantial sums in order to use our properties or operate our business.
 
8

We have established a contingency reserve for one environmental matter as noted in Note 13 of our consolidated financial statements.
 
We may incur significant costs of complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act and similar laws.
 
We may be required to expend significant sums of money to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended (“ADA”), and other federal and local laws in order for our properties to meet requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. We may incur additional costs when complying with the ADA in the future.
 
Our failure to qualify as a REIT would have serious adverse consequences to you.
 
GRT believes that it has qualified as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), since 1994, but cannot be sure that it will remain so qualified. Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex Code provisions, and the determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within GRT’s control may impact GRT’s ability to qualify as a REIT under the Code. In addition, GRT cannot be sure that new laws, regulations and judicial decisions will not significantly change the tax laws relating to REITs, or the federal income tax consequences of REIT qualification.
 
If GRT fails to qualify as a REIT, it will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates. Additionally, unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, GRT will also be disqualified from electing to be treated as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which the qualification is lost, thereby reducing net earnings available for investment or distribution to you because of the additional tax liability imposed for the year or years involved. Lastly, GRT would no longer be required by the Code to make any dividend distributions as a condition to REIT qualification. To the extent that dividend distributions to you may have been made in anticipation of qualifying as a REIT, we might be required to borrow funds or to liquidate certain of our investments to pay the applicable tax.
 
Our ownership interests in certain partnerships and other ventures are subject to certain tax risks.
 
Some of our property interests and other investments are made or held through entities in which we have an interest (the “Subsidiary Partnerships”). The tax risks of this type of ownership include possible challenge by the Internal Revenue Service of allocations of income and expense items which could affect the computation of our taxable income, or a challenge to the status of any such entities as partnerships (as opposed to associations taxable as corporations) for federal income tax purposes, as well as the possibility of action being taken by such entities that could adversely affect GRT’s qualification as a REIT, for example, by requiring the sale of a property. We believe that the entities in which we have an interest have been and will be treated for tax purposes as partnerships (and not treated as associations taxable as corporations). If our ownership interest in any entity taxable as a corporation exceeded 10% (in terms of vote or value) of such entity’s outstanding securities (unless such entity were a “taxable REIT subsidiary,” or a “qualified REIT subsidiary,” as those terms are defined in the Code) or the value of interest in any such entity exceeded 5% of the value of our assets, then GRT would cease to qualify as a REIT; distributions from any of these entities would be treated as dividends, to the extent of earnings and profits; and we would not be able to deduct our share of losses, if any, generated by such entity in computing our taxable income.
 
We may not have to access other sources of funds in order to meet our REIT distribution requirements.
 
In order to qualify to be taxed as a REIT, we must make annual distributions to our shareholders of at least 90% of our taxable income (determined by excluding any net capital gain). The amount available for distribution will be affected by a number of factors, including the operation of our properties. We have sold a number of non-core assets and intend in the future to sell additional selected non-core assets. The loss of rental income associated with our properties sold will in turn affect net income and FFO. In order to maintain REIT status, we may be required to make distributions in excess of net income and FFO. In such a case, it may be necessary to arrange for short-term (or possibly long-term) borrowings, or to issue preferred or other securities, to raise funds, which may not be possible.

Debt financing could adversely affect our performance.
 
As of December 31, 2005, we had $1.5 billion of combined mortgage indebtedness and outstanding borrowings under our credit facility, of which $99.9 million matures during 2006. After the refinancing of a $30.0 million loan on January 13, 2006, $69.9 million remains scheduled to mature in 2006. As of December 31, 2005, we have borrowed $150.0 million from our credit facility, which matures on August 21, 2008. A number of outstanding loans will require lump sum or “balloon” payments for the outstanding principal balance at maturity, and we may finance future investments that may be structured in the same manner. Our ability to repay indebtedness at maturity, or otherwise, may depend on our ability to either refinance such indebtedness or to sell our properties. If we are unable to repay any of our debt at or before maturity, then we may have to borrow against our properties that are not encumbered or from our credit facility, to the extent it has availability thereunder, to make such repayments. In addition, a lender could foreclose on one or more of our properties to collect its debt. This could cause us to lose part or all of our investment, which could reduce the value of the Common Shares and the distributions payable to you.
 
Certain of our financing arrangements contain limitations on the amount of debt that we may incur.
 
Our $300 million unsecured credit facility is the most restrictive of our financing arrangements. Accordingly, at December 31, 2005, the additional amount that may be borrowed from this facility or other sources based upon the restrictive covenants in the credit facility is $260.5 million. Additional amounts could be borrowed based upon the use of proceeds. The ratio of total-debt-to-total-market capitalization was 56.1% as of December 31, 2005. As used herein, “total market capitalization” means the sum of the outstanding amount of all indebtedness, the total liquidation preference of all preferred shares and the total market value of the outstanding Common Shares and the units of partnership interest in GPLP (“OP Units”) (based on the closing price of the Common Shares on December 31, 2005).
 
Our financial condition and distributions could be adversely affected by financial covenants.
 
Our mortgage indebtedness and credit facility impose certain financial and operating restrictions on our properties and restrictions on secured subordinated financing and financings on properties. These restrictions include restrictions on borrowings, prepayments and distributions. Additionally, our credit facility requires certain financial tests to be met and some of our mortgage indebtedness provides for prepayment penalties, each of which could restrict financial flexibility.
 
Our variable rate debt obligations may impede our operating performance and put us at a competitive disadvantage, as well as adversely affect our ability to pay distributions to you.

Required repayments of debt and related interest can adversely affect our operating performance. As of December 31, 2005, approximately $254.4 million of our indebtedness bears interest at a variable rate. Accordingly, an increase in interest rates on our existing indebtedness would increase interest expense, which could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to pay distributions. For example, if market rates of interest on our variable rate debt outstanding as of December 31, 2005, increased by 100 basis points, the increase in interest expense on our existing variable rate debt would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $2.5 million annually.
 
An increase in interest rates or total-debt-to-total market capitalization could cause a decrease in the market price of the outstanding Common Shares.
 
We believe that investors generally perceive REIT’s as yield-driven investments and compare the annual yield from distributions by REITs with yields on various other types of financial instruments. Thus, an increase in market interest rates generally could adversely affect the market price of Common Shares. Additionally, investors may react negatively to an increase in total-debt-to-total-market capitalization.
 
10

The Board of Trustees has unlimited authority to increase the amount of debt that we may incur.
 
The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) determines financing objectives and the amount of the indebtedness that we may incur and may make revisions to these objectives at any time without a vote of our shareholders. Although the Board has no present intention to change these objectives, revisions could result in a more highly leveraged company with an increased risk of default on indebtedness and an increase in debt service charges.
 
Our issuance of additional Common Shares may affect prevailing market prices for the outstanding Common Shares.
 
Future sales or the anticipation of such sales of additional Common Shares may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Common Shares.
 
Our ability to operate or dispose of any partially-owned properties that we may acquire may be restricted.
 
Our ownership of properties through partnership or joint venture investments may involve risks not otherwise present for wholly-owned properties. These risks include the possibility that our partners or co-venturers might become bankrupt, might have economic or other business interests or goals which are inconsistent with our business interests or goals and may be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions or requests contrary to our policies or objectives, including our policy to maintain our qualification as a REIT. We may need the consent of our partners for major decisions affecting properties that are partially-owned. Joint venture agreements may also contain provisions that could force us to sell all of our interest in, or buy all of our partners’ interests in, such entity or property. These provisions may be triggered at a time when it is not advantageous for us to either buy our partners’ interests or sell our interest. Additionally, if we serve as the managing member of a property-owning joint venture, we may have certain fiduciary responsibilities to the other participants in such entity. There is no limitation under our organizational documents as to the amount of funds that may be invested in partnerships or joint ventures.
 
We are subject to certain limitations on property sales and conflicts of interest.
 
GPLP may not enter into certain transactions, including the sale of all or substantially all of its assets, without consent from the holders of a majority (excluding GRT) of the OP Units. This majority vote requirement effectively means that Herbert Glimcher, the Chairman of the Board and his sons, David Glimcher and Michael Glimcher, the President, Chief Executive Officer and a Trustee of GRT, must approve any such transaction because, together with their spouses, they own approximately 4.9% of the OP Units (which constitutes a majority of the OP Units other than those owned by GRT) outstanding as of December 31, 2005. This veto right may limit our ability to enter into a liquidating transaction that may be in your best interest.
 
As a result of Herbert Glimcher’s, David Glimcher’s and Michael Glimcher’s status as holders of both Common Shares and OP Units, they have interests that conflict with GRT shareholders with respect to business decisions affecting GRT and GPLP. In particular, as holders of OP Units, they may suffer different and/or more adverse tax consequences than GRT upon the sale or refinancing of some of our properties due to unrealized gains attributable to these properties. Therefore, GRT may have objectives different from Herbert Glimcher, David Glimcher and Michael Glimcher regarding the appropriate pricing and timing of any sale or refinancing of certain of our properties. Although GRT (through a wholly owned subsidiary), as the sole general partner of GPLP, has the exclusive authority as to whether and on what terms to sell, refinance, or seek to purchase an interest in an individual property, Herbert Glimcher, David Glimcher and Michael Glimcher might seek to influence decisions with respect to these actions, even though those actions might otherwise be financially advantageous or adverse to GRT. They also may seek to influence management to refinance one or more of our properties with a higher level of debt than would be in GRT’s best interests.
 
11

Our charter and bylaws and the laws of the state of our incorporation contain provisions that may delay, defer or prevent a change in control or other transactions that could provide shareholders with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price for our Common Shares.
 
In order to maintain GRT’s qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, not more than 50% in value of the outstanding Common Shares may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include certain entities) at any time during the last half of the taxable year. Additionally, 100 or more persons must beneficially own the outstanding Common Shares during the last 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months or during a proportionate part of a shorter tax year.
 
To ensure that GRT will not fail to qualify as a REIT under this test, GRT’s organizational documents authorize the Board to take such action as may be required to preserve GRT’s qualification as a REIT and to limit any person, other than Herbert Glimcher, David Glimcher (only with respect to the limitation on the ownership of outstanding Common Shares) and any entities or persons approved by the Board, to direct or indirect ownership exceeding (i) 8.0% of the lesser of the number or value of the outstanding Common Shares, (ii) 9.9% of the lesser of the number or value of the total 8¾% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest (“Series F Preferred Shares”) outstanding and (iii) 9.9% of the lesser of the number or value of the total 8⅛% Series G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest (“Series G Preferred Shares”) outstanding. Herbert Glimcher and David Glimcher are limited to an aggregate of 25% direct or indirect ownership of Common Shares outstanding without approval of the Board. The Board has also granted an exemption to Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc., permitting them to own, directly or indirectly, of record or beneficially (i) up to 600,000 Series F Preferred Shares and (ii) up to 14.9% of the lesser of the number or value of the outstanding shares of any other class of the GRT’s equity securities. However, in no event, shall they be permitted to own, directly or indirectly, of record or beneficially, more than 14.9% of the lesser of the number or value of all outstanding shares of GRT’s equity securities. Despite these provisions, GRT cannot be sure that there will not be five or fewer individuals who will own more than 50% in value of its outstanding Common Shares, thereby causing GRT to fail to qualify as a REIT. The ownership limits may also discourage a change of control in GRT.
 
The members of the Board are currently divided into three nearly equal classes whose terms expire in 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. Each year one class of trustees are elected by GRT’s shareholders to hold office for three years. The staggered terms for Board members may affect the ability of GRT shareholders to change control of GRT even if a change in control were in the interests of the shareholders.
 
GRT’s Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, as amended (the “Declaration of Trust”) authorizes the Board to establish one or more series of preferred shares, in addition to those currently outstanding, and to determine the preferences, rights and other terms of any series. The Board could authorize GRT to issue other series of preferred shares that could deter or impede a merger, tender offer or other transaction that some, or a majority, of GRT shareholders might believe to be in their best interest or in which GRT shareholders might receive a premium for their shares over the then current market price of such shares.
 
On March 9, 1999, GRT adopted a shareholder rights plan. Under the terms of the rights plan, the Board can in effect prevent a person or group from acquiring more than 15% of the outstanding Common Shares. Unless the Board approves of such person’s purchase, after that person acquires more than 15% of the outstanding Common Shares, all other shareholders will have the right to purchase Common Shares from GRT at a price that is half of their then fair market value. These purchases by the other shareholders would substantially reduce the value and influence of the Common Shares owned by the acquiring person. The Board, however, can prevent the rights plan from operating in this manner. This gives the Board significant discretion to approve or disapprove of a person’s efforts to acquire a large interest in GRT and, accordingly, may discourage a change in control of GRT.
 
12

The Declaration of Trust and Amended and Restated Bylaws also contain other provisions that may delay or prevent a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for the Common Shares or otherwise be in the best interests of GRT’s shareholders. As a Maryland REIT, GRT is subject to the provisions of the Maryland REIT law which imposes restrictions on some business combinations and requires compliance with statutory procedures before some mergers and acquisitions can occur, thus delaying or preventing offers to acquire GRT or increasing the difficulty of completing an acquisition of GRT, even if the acquisition is in the best interests of GRT’s shareholders.
 
Risks associated with information systems may interfere with our operations.
 
We are continuing to implement new information systems and problems with the design or implementation of these new systems could interfere with our operations.
 
Our operations could be affected if we any lose key management personnel.
 
Our executive officers have substantial experience in owning, operating, managing, acquiring and developing shopping centers. Success depends in large part upon the efforts of these executives, and we cannot guarantee that they will remain with us. The loss of key management personnel in leasing, finance, legal and operations could have a negative impact on our operations. In addition, except for isolated examples, there are generally no restrictions on the ability of these executives to compete with us after termination of their employment.

Inflation may influence our operations.

Inflation risks could impact our operations due to increases in construction costs. This would primarily impact our development and redevelopment expenditures.

One of the Community Centers is subject to a long-term ground lease where a third party owns the underlying land and has leased the land to the Company. The expiration date of the ground lease (assuming the exercise by the Company of all of its options to extend the terms of such lease) is 2050. The Company pays rent of $14,400 per annum, for the use of the land and generally is responsible for the costs and expenses associated with maintaining the building and improvements thereon. In addition, the ground lease provides for sharing of the percentage rents collected, if any. At the end of the lease term, unless extended at the Company’s option, the land, together with all improvements thereon, will revert to the land owner without compensation to the lessee.

During the fourth quarter of 2004, GRT received a subpoena for documents from the SEC in connection with an investigation concerning the election by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP not to renew its engagement as the independent accountant for the Company (which was previously reported by GRT in Forms 8-K and 8-K/A filed on June 8 and June 15, 2004, respectively) and a related party transaction involving the Company’s City Park development project (which transaction was previously reported by GRT in its Form 10-K filed on March 12, 2004). During the first quarter of 2005, the Company also received a subpoena for documents from the SEC that primarily seeks documents concerning the restatement of the Company's financial statements for the years ended 2001 through 2003 (which restatement was reported by the Company in a Form 8-K filed on February 22, 2005). The Company is cooperating fully with each investigation.


No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005.

(c)
Distributions

Future distributions paid by GRT on the Common Shares will be at the discretion of the trustees of GRT and will depend upon the actual cash flow of GRT, its financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code and such other factors as the trustees of GRT deem relevant.

GRT has implemented a Distribution Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) under which its shareholders or OP Unit holders may elect to purchase additional Common Shares at fair value and/or automatically reinvest their distributions in Common Shares at fair value. In order to fulfill its obligations under the Plan, GRT may purchase Common Shares in the open market or issue Common Shares that have been registered and authorized specifically for the Plan. As of December 31, 2005, 2,100,000 Common Shares were authorized, of which 250,197 Common Shares have been issued.

FFO as defined by NAREIT is used by the real estate industry and investment community as a supplemental measure of the performance of real estate companies. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) available to common shareholders (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of depreciable property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO does include impairment losses for properties held for use and held for sale. The Company’s FFO may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other real estate investment trusts. FFO does not represent cash flow from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indication of the Company’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. A reconciliation of FFO to net income available to common shareholders is provided in Item 7.

(3)
Number of Properties and GLA include Properties, which are both wholly owned by the Company or by a joint venture in which the Company has a joint venture interest. Occupancy of the Properties is defined as any space where a store is open or a tenant is paying rent at the date indicated, excluding all tenants with leases having an initial term of less than one year.

(4)
The number of Properties owned by joint ventures in which the Company has an interest and the GLA of those Properties included in the table are as follows: 2005 includes 1.2 million square feet of GLA (1 Property), none in 2004, 2003 includes 2.0 million square feet of GLA (2 Properties), 2002 includes 3.8 million square feet of GLA (4 Properties) and 2001 includes 7.6 million square feet of GLA (8 Properties).


Overview

GRT is a self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust, or REIT, which commenced business operations in January 1994 at the time of its initial public offering. We own, lease, manage and develop a portfolio of retail properties consisting of regional and super regional malls and community shopping centers. As of December 31, 2005, we owned interests in and managed 36 properties, consisting of 25 Malls (24 wholly-owned and 1 partially owned through a joint venture) and 11 Community Centers (including one single tenant retail property) located in 17 states. The Properties contain an aggregate of approximately 24.6 million square feet of GLA of which approximately 91.9% was occupied at December 31, 2005.

Our primary business objective is to achieve growth in net income and funds from operations, or FFO, by developing and acquiring retail properties; by improving the operating performance and value of our existing portfolio through selective expansion and renovation of our Properties; and by maintaining high occupancy rates, increasing minimum rents per square-foot of GLA and aggressively controlling costs.

Key elements of our growth strategies and operating policies are to:

·
Increase Property values by aggressively marketing available GLA and renewing existing leases;

·
Negotiate and sign leases which provide for regular or fixed contractual increases to minimum rents;

·
Capitalize on management’s long-standing relationships with national and regional retailers and extensive experience in marketing to local retailers, as well as exploit the leverage inherent in a larger portfolio of properties in order to lease available space;

·
Utilize our team-oriented management approach to increase productivity and efficiency;

·
Acquire strategically located malls;

·
Hold Properties for long-term investment and emphasize regular maintenance, periodic renovation and capital improvements to preserve and maximize value;

·
Selectively dispose of assets we believe have achieved long-term investment potential and redeploy the proceeds;

·
Control operating costs by utilizing our employees to perform management, leasing, marketing, finance, accounting, construction supervision, legal and information technology services;

·
Renovate, reconfigure or expand Properties and utilize existing land available for expansion and development of outparcels to meet the needs of existing or new tenants; and

23

·
Utilize our development capabilities to develop quality properties at low costs.

Our strategy is to be a leading REIT focusing on enclosed malls and other anchored retail properties located primarily in the top 100 metropolitan statistical areas by population. We expect to continue investing in select development opportunities and in strategic acquisitions of mall properties that provide growth potential. We expect to finance acquisition transactions with cash on hand, borrowings under credit facilities, proceeds from strategic joint venture partners, asset dispositions, secured mortgage financings, the issuance of equity or debt securities, or a combination of one or more of the foregoing.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

General

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Senior management has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of these estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board and independent registered public accounting firm. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made and if different estimates that are reasonably likely to occur could materially impact the financial statements. Management believes the critical accounting policies discussed in this section reflect its more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue recognition policy relating to minimum rents does not require the use of estimates. Percentage rents, tenant reimbursements and components of other revenue associated with the margins related to outparcel sales include estimates.

Percentage Rents

The recognition of income from percentage rents requires management to make certain estimates with regard to tenants’ sales levels. The majority of the Company’s tenants report sales on a monthly basis, which provides the Company with a reasonable basis upon which to record this income. The monthly sales amounts, however, are unaudited and subject to change when the tenant reports its final sales after the end of the lease year. In addition, leases sometimes permit the exclusion of certain types of sales or services from the calculation of percentage rents due.

Tenant reimbursements

Estimates are used to record cost reimbursements from tenants for CAM, real estate tax, utilities and insurance. We recognize revenue based upon the amounts to be reimbursed from our tenants in the same period these reimbursable expenses are incurred. Differences between estimated cost reimbursements and final amounts billed are recognized in the subsequent year. Leases are not uniform in dealing with such cost reimbursements and variations exist in computations between Properties and tenants. Adjustments are also made throughout the year to these receivables and the related cost reimbursement income based upon the Company’s best estimate of the final amounts to be billed and collected. The Company analyzes the balance of its estimated accounts receivable for real estate taxes, CAM and insurance for each of its Properties by comparing actual reimbursement versus actual expenses. If management’s estimate of the percent of recoverable expenses that can be billed to the tenants in 2005 differs from actual amounts billed in 2006 by 1%, the amount of income recorded during 2005 would increase or decrease by $1.1 million.

24

Outparcel sales

The Company sells outparcels at its various Properties. The estimated cost used to calculate the margin from these sales involves a number of estimates. The estimates made are based either upon assigning a proportionate cost, based upon historical cost paid for the total parcel to the portion of the parcel that is sold, or by incorporating the sales value method. The proportionate share of actual cost is derived through consideration of numerous factors. These factors include items such as ease of access to the parcel, visibility from high traffic areas and other factors that may differentiate the desirability of the particular section of the parcel that is sold.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s estimate of the amounts of the recorded accounts receivable at the balance sheet date that will not be recovered from cash receipts in subsequent periods. The Company’s policy is to record a periodic provision for doubtful accounts based on total revenues. The Company also periodically reviews specific tenant balances and determines whether an additional allowance is necessary. In recording such a provision, the Company considers a tenant’s creditworthiness, ability to pay, probability of collection and consideration of the retail sector in which the tenant operates. The allowance for doubtful accounts is reviewed periodically based upon the Company’s historical experience.

Investment in Real Estate

Carrying Value of Assets

The Company maintains a diverse portfolio of real estate assets. The portfolio holdings have increased as a result of both acquisitions and the development of new Properties and have been reduced by selected sales of assets. The amounts to be capitalized as a result of acquisition and developments and the periods over which the assets are depreciated or amortized are determined based on the application of accounting standards that may require estimates as to fair value and the allocation of various costs to the individual assets. The Company allocates the cost of the acquisition based upon the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired. The Company also estimates the fair value of intangibles related to its acquisitions. The valuation of the fair value of the intangibles involves estimates related to market conditions, probability of lease renewals and the current market value of in-place leases. This market value is determined by considering factors such as the tenant’s industry, location within the Property and competition in the specific market in which the Property operates. Differences in the amount attributed to the intangible assets can be significant based upon the assumptions made in calculating these estimates.

Impairment Evaluation

Management evaluates the recoverability of its investment in real estate assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” This statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that recoverability of the asset is not assured.

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its investments in real estate assets to be held and used each quarter and records an impairment charge when there is an indicator of impairment and the undiscounted projected cash flows are less than the carrying amount for a particular Property. The estimated cash flows used for the impairment analysis and the determination of estimated fair value are based on the Company’s plans for the respective assets and the Company’s views of market and economic conditions. The estimates consider matters such as current and historical rental rates, occupancies for the respective Properties and comparable properties and recent sales data for comparable properties. Changes in estimated future cash flows due to changes in the Company’s plans or views of market and economic conditions could result in recognition of impairment losses, which, under the applicable accounting guidance, could be substantial.

25

Investment in Real Estate - Held for Sale

The Company evaluates the held for sale classification of its owned real estate each quarter. Assets that are classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Assets are generally classified as held for sale once management commits to a plan to sell the Properties and has initiated an active program to market them for sale. The results of operations of these real estate properties are reflected as discontinued operations in all periods reported.

On occasion, the Company will receive unsolicited offers from third parties to buy individual Properties. Under these circumstances, the Company will classify the properties as held for sale when a sales contract is executed with no contingencies and the prospective buyer has funds at risk to ensure performance.

Sale of Real Estate Assets

The sale of real estate assets may also involve the application of judgments in determining whether the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer and that a sale has been completed for purposes of recognizing a gain on the sale. The Company recognizes property sales in accordance with SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.” The Company generally records the sales of operating properties and outparcels using the full accrual method at closing when the earnings process is deemed to be complete. Sales not qualifying for full recognition at the time of sale are accounted for under other appropriate deferral methods.

Accounting for Acquisitions

The fair value of the real estate acquired is allocated to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases for acquired in-place leases and the value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values. Purchase accounting was applied to assets and liabilities related to real estate entities acquired based upon the percentage of interest acquired.

The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land, building and tenant improvements) is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets. Management determines the as-if-vacant fair value of a property using methods to determine the replacement cost of the tangible assets.

In determining the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The capitalized above-market lease values and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an adjustment to rental income over the initial lease term.

The aggregate value of in-place leases is determined by evaluating various factors, including an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, current market conditions and similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related costs. The value assigned to this intangible asset is amortized over the remaining lease term plus an assumed renewal period.

The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets include tenant relationships. Factors considered by management in assigning a value to these relationships include: assumptions of probability of lease renewals, investment in tenant improvements, leasing commissions and an approximate time lapse in rental income while a new tenant is located. The value assigned to this intangible asset is amortized over the average life of the relationship.

26

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation expense for real estate assets is computed using a straight-line method and estimated useful lives for buildings and improvements using a weighted average composite life of forty years and equipment and fixtures of five to ten years. Expenditures for leasehold improvements and construction allowances paid to tenants are capitalized and amortized over the term of each lease. Cash allowances paid for improvements to real estate owned by retailers are capitalized as contract intangibles and amortized over the life of the operating agreements. Cash allowances paid to retailers that are used for purposes other than improvements to the real estate are amortized as a reduction to minimum rents over the initial lease term. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Derivatives

The Company has used interest rate cap agreements to hedge interest rate exposure and interest rate swap contracts to convert a portion of its variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. The Company has a policy of only entering into contracts with major financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors, and all contracts are intended to be effective as hedges of specific interest rate risk exposures. In connection with the determination of the effectiveness of these hedges and the recognition of any unrealized gain or loss on these contracts, the Company computes the fair value of the contracts at each balance sheet date. To determine the fair values of derivative instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each balance sheet date. Standard market conventions and techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis, replacement cost and termination cost are used to determine fair value. All methods of assessing fair value result in a general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized. The Company at times employs an external third party to perform an independent assessment of the fair value of the derivatives portfolio. The aggregate fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments was nominal at December 31, 2005 and 2004.

Funds from Operations

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. We have also indicated that FFO is a key measure of financial performance. FFO is an important and widely used financial measure of operating performance in the REIT industry, which we believe provides important information to investors and a relevant basis for comparison among REITs.
 
We believe that FFO is an appropriate and valuable measure of our operating performance because real estate generally appreciates over time or maintains a residual value to a much greater extent than personal property and, accordingly, reductions for real estate depreciation and amortization charges are not meaningful in evaluating the operating results of the Properties.

FFO, as defined by NAREIT (defined fully in Item 1) is used by the real estate industry and investment community as a supplemental measure of the performance of real estate companies. FFO does not represent cash flow from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as the primary indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Our FFO may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other REIT’s.

The following table illustrates the calculation of FFO and the reconciliation of FFO to net income available to common shareholders for the years ending December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands):

FFO - Comparison of year ended December 31, 2005 to December 21, 2004

FFO decreased 13.3%, or $12.0 million, for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to the year ended December 31, 2004. During 2005, we incurred $16.4 million of impairment charges to FFO in connection with Community Centers that were either sold or held for sale. Also contributing to the decrease in FFO was a $7.6 million reduction in net operating income previously generated from sold Properties. Lastly, general and administrative costs increased by $4.1 million. This increase is related to a $3.3 million charge for employment related matters and increased costs associated with corporate governance.

Offsetting these decreases in FFO was lower overall interest expense of approximately $4.5 million and a $7.4 million greater contribution of operating income from our Properties in 2005. The decrease in interest expense was driven primarily by lower outstanding borrowings for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2004. We also incurred a $4.9 million charge associated with the original issuance costs of the 9.25% Series B Cumulative Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest (“the Series B Preferred”) that were redeemed during the first quarter of 2004.

FFO - Comparison of year ended December 31, 2004 to December 31, 2003

FFO increased by 0.8%, or $732,000, for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase can be attributed to an increase in net income related to acquisitions made in 2003 and 2004 that contributed incremental FFO of $10.9 million.

This increase was partially offset by the $4.9 million charge associated with the original issuance costs of the Company’s Series B Preferred Shares that were redeemed during the first quarter of 2004. Also contributing to the decrease in FFO was a $3.3 million reduction in net operating income previously generated from sold Properties as well as reductions in results of operations due to decreased termination income and higher general and administrative costs.

Results of Operations - Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2004
 
Revenues

Total revenues increased 2.4%, or $7.9 million, for the year ended December 31, 2005. Base rents were up $3.6 million, lease termination income increased $3.4 million, tenant reimbursements were up $1.4 million, overage rent was up $646,000 and management fee income increased $532,000. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in licensing agreement revenue of $1.9 million and a decrease of $188,000 in proceeds from the sale of outparcels.

Minimum rents

Minimum rents increased 3.5%, or $7.0 million, for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase is due to higher base rent at the Malls of $3.3 million and increased termination income of $3.4 million compared to last year. The increase in base rent in 2005 resulted from occupancy improvements and higher re-leasing spreads.
 
28

Tenant reimbursements

Tenant reimbursements reflect an increase of 1.5%, or $1.4 million, for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in revenue relates to increases in recoverable operating expenses of $1.3 million in 2005 that we expect to be reimbursed from our tenants.

Other revenues

The $1.2 million decrease in other revenue is a result of a decrease of $1.9 million in licensing agreement revenue and a $188,000 decrease in the proceeds from the sale of outparcels partially offset by higher fee income of $532,000. The increase in fee income relates primarily to an acquisition fee earned following the purchase of Puente Hills Mall, a 1.2 million square foot enclosed regional Mall located in the Los Angeles metro area (“Puente”), on December 29, 2005.

Expenses

Total expenses increased 4.2%, or $8.7 million, for the year ended December 31, 2005. Real estate taxes and property operating expenses increased $1.3 million, the provision for doubtful accounts decreased $543,000, other operating expenses increased $1.1 million, depreciation and amortization increased $2.7 million and general and administrative expenses increased $4.1 million.

Real estate taxes and property operating expenses

Real estate taxes and property operating expenses increased 1.2%, or $1.3 million, for the year ended December 31, 2005. Real estate taxes increased $2.1 million from 2004 as a result of increases in the assessed value of several Properties and a change in the calculation of commercial property real estate tax at our Properties located in Ohio. The increase was partially offset by a reduction in property operating expenses of $756,000, primarily a result of bringing housekeeping and security services in-house.

Provision for doubtful accounts

The provision for doubtful accounts was $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 and $5.4 million for 2004. The provision represented 1.4% of revenues in 2005 and 1.6% of revenues in 2004. The accounts receivable balance and the allowance for doubtful accounts have not changed significantly (less than 2%) as of December 31, 2005 compared to December 31, 2004. We have maintained consistent reserve percentages for our past due receivables.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses were $9.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $8.5 million for the corresponding period in 2004. The increase was primarily due to higher legal fees of $560,000 at the Properties and an increase of $493,000 in costs from outparcel sales.

Depreciation and Amortization

The $2.7 million increase in depreciation and amortization is primarily a result of additional depreciation for additions to real estate assets and the write-offs related to improvements in spaces vacated by anchor tenants.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense was $18.4 million and represented 5.5% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $14.3 million and 4.4% of total revenues for the corresponding period in 2004. The increase is due primarily to a $3.3 million charge relating to employment agreements, higher professional fees associated with corporate governance initiatives and increased corporate salaries.

Costs associated with early extinguishment of debt, which are reflected in interest expense, were $1.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. Of this cost, $1.2 million is included under “Amortization of loan fees” and represents the acceleration of loan fee amortization associated with the refinancing of mortgages. The variance in “Capitalized interest and other expense” was due to a significant increase in construction activity ($1.1 million) in 2005 and the settlement of an interest rate swap arrangement ($391,000) and fees associated with the mortgage refinancing noted above ($557,000) in 2004.

Equity in income of unconsolidated entities, net

The $51,000 income results from our investment in Puente.

Discontinued Operations

During 2005, we sold five Community Centers and one Mall for $18.4 million and reflected seven Community Centers and one Mall Property as held for sale. We recorded a net gain on the sale of discontinued operations of $1.6 million and we recorded an impairment loss associated with the Community Centers of $16.4 million, which, in accordance with SFAS No. 144, is reported in discontinued operations. During 2004, we sold twenty-nine Community Centers for $113.3 million and reflected one Community Center as held for sale. We reported a net gain of $19.6 million associated with the sale of these Community Centers. Total revenues for discontinued operations were $17.8 million and $28.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Results of Operations - Year Ended December 31, 2004 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2003

We discuss our results of operations by separating the impact of our acquisitions from the results from our remaining Properties. In comparing our results for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to December 31, 2003, the acquisition impact relates to the Properties acquired during those two years. Those properties and the dates they are first included in our consolidated results are as follows: Colonial Park Mall, effective March 6, 2003; G&G Blaine, LLC (at Northtown Mall), effective April 24, 2003; Eastland North Carolina, effective August 14, 2003; WestShore Plaza Mall (“WestShore”), effective August 27, 2003; Eastland Ohio, effective December 22, 2003 and Polaris Fashion Place and Polaris Towne Center (collectively, the “Polaris Properties”), effective January 5, 2004 (all collectively, the “Acquistions”). We discuss the various components of our results of operations as it relates to our remaining Properties, which are included in our consolidated financial results for both periods presented. These Properties are referred to collectively as “Same Centers” and individually as a “Same Center” in our analysis.

Revenues

Total revenues increased 14.5%, or $41.4 million, for the year ended December 31, 2004. Of the $41.4 million increase, $33.9 million resulted from the acquisition of the joint venture interests not previously owned by us and a $21.6 million increase from the WestShore and Eastland Ohio acquisitions in 2003. Other significant changes in revenue relate to a $818,000 increase in proceeds from outparcel sales, reduced termination income of $2.3 million, reductions in minimum rent of $2.7 million due to lower occupancy rates and an increase of $8.9 million in tenant reimbursement income due to the Acquisitions.

Minimum rents

Minimum rents increased 19.4%, or $32.6 million, for the year ended December 31, 2004, primarily due to contributions of $37.6 million in additional minimum rents as a result of the Acquisitions. The Same Center decrease relates to recognition of approximately $1.9 million of income as a result of the termination of certain leases compared to $4.2 million of recognized lease termination income for the same period in 2003, a reduction of $2.3 million. The remaining Same Center decrease relates to a $2.7 million decrease in Same Center minimum rents due to lower occupancy in 2004.

Tenant reimbursements

Tenant reimbursements reflect an increase of 10.4%, or $8.9 million, for the year ended December 31, 2004. An increase of $13.6 million is due to the Acquisitions. The decrease in Same Center reimbursements is due to a $4.5 million decrease in recoverable expenses at the Malls and reduced recovery rates in 2004 for the Community Centers.

Other revenues

The $576,000 increase in other revenues is a result of a $3.5 million increase in licensing agreement income, an $818,000 increase in funds received from the sale of outparcels and a $280,000 increase in gift card income. The increase was partially offset by a $2.1 million reduction in management fee income resulting from our acquisition of joint venture interests not previously owned by us and decreases in marketing income and other miscellaneous items.

Expenses

Total expenses increased 12.5%, or $23.3 million, for the year ended December 31, 2004. Real estate taxes and property operating expenses increased $8.7 million, the provision for doubtful accounts decreased $1.6 million, other operating expenses increased $46,000, depreciation and amortization increased $11.7 million and general and administrative expenses increased $4.4 million.

31

Real estate taxes and property operating expenses

Real estate taxes and property operating expenses increased 8.8%, or $8.7 million, for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase is due primarily to the Acquisitions, which was partially offset by the Same Center decrease that resulted from the Company’s cost reduction efforts relating to CAM expenses. This program was commenced in the second half of 2003 and was fully implemented in August 2004 with the primary savings resulting from bringing housekeeping and security services in-house.

Provision for doubtful accounts

The provision for doubtful accounts was $5.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 and $7.0 million for 2003. The provision represented 1.6% of revenues in 2004 and 2.5% of revenues in 2003. The decrease in 2004 related to specific tenant bankruptcies and other credit issues in 2003.

Depreciation and Amortization

The $11.7 million increase in depreciation and amortization primarily consists of $9.2 million from the acquisition of Properties that were previously reflected as joint ventures and a $4.2 million increase from the WestShore and Eastland Ohio acquisitions partially offset by a decrease across the Same Center portfolio.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense was $14.3 million and represented 4.4% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to $9.9 million and 3.5% of total revenues for 2003. The increase is primarily due to wage increases that became effective April 1, 2004, higher accrued bonus costs in 2004 (as the Company met bonus targets for 2004, but did not meet bonus targets in 2003), higher professional services fees associated with corporate governance initiatives and increases in employee benefit expenses.

Interest expense/capitalized interest

Interest expense increased 13.9%, or $10.9 million, for the year ended December 31, 2004. The summary below identifies the increase by its various components (dollars in thousands).

Discontinued Operations

During 2004, we sold twenty-nine Community Centers for $113.3 million and reflected one Community Center as held for sale. We reported a net gain of $19.6 million associated with the sale of these Community Centers, which, in accordance with SFAS No. 144, is reported in discontinued operations. During 2003, we sold five Community Centers for $18.6 million and reflected two other Community Centers as held for sale. We recorded a net gain on the sale of discontinued operations of $703,000 and an impairment loss of $2.5 million. Total revenues for discontinued operations were $28.2 million and $32.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our short-term (less than one year) liquidity requirements include recurring operating costs, capital expenditures, debt service requirements and dividend and distribution requirements pertaining to our preferred shares, Common Shares and OP Units. We anticipate that these needs will be primarily met with cash flows provided by operations.

Our long-term (greater than one year) liquidity requirements include scheduled debt maturities, capital expenditures to maintain, renovate and expand existing assets, property acquisitions and development projects. Management anticipates that net cash provided by operating activities, the funds available under the credit facility, construction financing, long-term mortgage debt, contributions from our strategic joint venture partnership, issuance of preferred and common shares of beneficial interest and proceeds from the sale of assets will provide sufficient capital resources to carry out our business strategy relative to the acquisitions, renovations, expansions and developments.

At December 31, 2005, our total-debt-to-total-market capitalization was 56.1% compared to 52.0% at December 31, 2004. We are working to maintain this ratio in the mid-fifty percent range. We expect to utilize the proceeds from future asset sales to reduce debt and, to the extent that market capitalization remains in the current range, to fund expansion, renovation and redevelopment of existing Properties and the acquisition of additional regional mall properties. Total-debt-to-total-market capitalization is calculated below (dollars and shares in thousands, except stock price).

Capital Resource Availability

In December 2005, we formed a joint venture (the “Venture”) with OMERS Realty Corporation (“ORC”), an affiliate of Oxford Properties Group (“Oxford”), which is the global real estate platform for the Ontario (Canada) Municipal Employees Retirement System, a Canadian pension plan. The initial acquisition of the Venture was the $170.1 million purchase of Puente. We have a 52% interest in the Venture and ORC has a 48% interest, but GPLP will be entitled to certain financial promotes provided that ORC earns a specified rate of return.  As part of the Venture, ORC intends to seek approval from its board of directors for it to commit up to $200 million for acquisitions of certain other mall and anchored lifestyle retail properties that GPLP offers to the Venture. The properties to be acquired by the Venture will be operated by Glimcher under separate management agreements. Under these agreements, Glimcher will be entitled to management fees, leasing commissions and other compensation including an asset management fee and acquisition fees based upon the purchase price paid for each property.

33

We modified our former secured line of credit (“Prior Credit Facility”) to increase the borrowing availability from $150 million to $300 million and to convert it from a secured facility to an unsecured facility (“Amended Credit Facility”) that matures in August 2008 with a one-year extension option available to the Company. The Amended Credit Facility is expandable to $400 million, subject to certain conditions, and the interest rate ranges from LIBOR plus 1.05% to LIBOR plus 1.55% depending upon our ratio of debt to total asset value.

On March 24, 2004, we filed with the SEC a universal shelf registration statement. This registration statement permits us to engage in offerings of debt securities, preferred and common shares, warrants, rights to purchase the Company’s common shares, purchase contracts and any combination of the foregoing. The registration statement was declared effective on April 6, 2004. The amount of securities registered was $400 million, all of which is currently available for future offerings.

Cash Activity
 
For the Year Ending December 31, 2005

Net cash provided by operating activities was $108.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Net cash used by investing activities was $122.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. During 2005, we spent $95.9 million towards our investment in real estate. Of this amount, $63.9 million was spent on constructing additional GLA and interior renovations, primarily at Eastland Ohio, The Mall at Fairfield Commons, The Dayton Mall, Montgomery Mall, Lloyd Center, Northtown Mall, The Great Mall of the Great Plains and the purchase of vacant anchor space at Polaris Fashion Place. We also spent $12.8 million on tenant improvements and allowances to re-tenant existing space. Lastly, we spent $7.7 million associated with the acquisition of land in connection with the development of an anchored retail project to serve the Cincinnati, Ohio market (“City Park development”). The remaining amounts were spent on operational capital expenditures. We also spent $44.2 million in connection with our investment, through the Venture, in Puente. Offsetting these capital outlays, we received $23.6 million in proceeds from the sale of Southside Mall, ($13.0 million) the former Lord & Taylor anchor space at Polaris Fashion Place ($5.3 million) and the sale of 5 Community Centers ($5.3 million). We also received $3.0 million from the sale of outparcels.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $13.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. During 2005, we received $111.7 from the issuance of mortgage notes payable. These funds were received in connection with the new $44.0 million mortgage loan on Montgomery Mall, the new $50.0 million mortgage loan on River Valley Mall and $17.7 million for the construction loan in connection with the redevelopment activities at Eastland Ohio. Also, we received net proceeds of $76.0 million from our Amended Credit Facility of which the majority of the proceeds were used to fund numerous redevelopment projects that are currently ongoing. Offsetting these increases was the $88.4 million paid for principal payments on existing mortgage debt. This amount consisted of the extinguishment of the existing mortgage on Montgomery Mall and Southside Mall as well as normal principal payments. We also paid $92.9 million in distributions.

For the Year Ending December 31, 2004

Net cash provided by operating activities was $102.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004.

34

Net cash provided by investing activities was $36.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. The primary uses were the investments in real estate of $72.7 million. These real estate investments were for development and redevelopment activities of $12.7 million, property capital expenditures of $16.2 million and the cash portion of the purchase price related to the Polaris Properties of $42.9 million. Additionally, we received proceeds of $106.8 million from the sale of twenty-nine Community Centers and $2.7 million from the sale of outparcels.

Net cash used in financing activities was $141.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. Proceeds were received from the issuance of $150 million of the Series G Preferred Shares, which totaled a net amount of $144.8 million. This amount was offset by the redemption of the Series B Preferred Shares totaling $128.0 million. We received $231.5 million from the issuance of mortgage notes payable. In the first quarter of 2004, we received $36.5 million in loan proceeds that was used to fund the acquisition of the remaining joint venture interest in Polaris Fashion Place not previously owned by the Company (the “Polaris acquisition”). During the second quarter of 2004, we refinanced Jersey Gardens Mall with a $165.0 million permanent mortgage loan and refinanced The Great Mall of the Great Plains with a $30.0 million two-year bridge facility. Cash used to repay mortgage notes payable was $303.4 million, of which $292.7 million related to repayment of the previous debt on Jersey Gardens Mall, The Great Mall of the Great Plains, River Valley Mall and a bridge facility associated with the Polaris acquisition. The remainder of the repayment amount relates to scheduled debt amortizations of $17.2 million. We also paid $89.2 million in dividend distributions.

For the Year Ending December 31, 2003

Net cash provided by operating activities was $98.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003.

Net cash used by investing activities was $200.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2003.

During 2005, we entered into two new financing arrangements and modified three existing arrangements. On July 15, 2005, we entered into an agreement under which we may borrow from time to time up to an additional $6 million, on the redevelopment loan for our Eastland Ohio property until January 1, 2007, its maturity date. Our obligation to repay the loan is evidenced by a promissory note secured by a first mortgage lien on Eastland Ohio. This new loan increases the total loan availability for our Eastland Ohio redevelopment financing from $36 million to $42 million. This loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.00% per annum. We are required to make interest only payments, but prepayments of principal are permitted without penalty. On July 22, 2005, we extended the maturity date on our $7.7 million East Pointe Plaza mortgage loan from August 1, 2005 to August 1, 2006. On August 1, 2005, we entered into a $44 million promissory note secured by a first mortgage lien on Montgomery Mall in Montgomery, Alabama. The new mortgage loan matures on August 1, 2006 and bears interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 1.85% per annum. A loan agreement was modified on January 13, 2006 reducing the interest rate to LIBOR plus 1.65% per annum. We are required to make interest only payments, but prepayments of principal are permitted without penalty. The loan features two remaining options under which we may select to extend the loan for an additional six months. The proceeds of the loan were used to pay off $43.9 million of fixed rate mortgage notes on Montgomery Mall. As a condition of the loan agreement, we paid down the outstanding balance to $25 million upon closing on our Amended Credit Facility. On December 15, 2005, we executed a loan agreement to borrow $50 million (the “Loan”). The Loan is represented by a promissory note secured by a first mortgage lien and assignment of leases and rents on our River Valley Mall located in Lancaster, Ohio. The Loan has a fixed interest rate of 5.65% per annum and a maturity date of January 11, 2016. Under the Loan, we are required to make interest only periodic payments for the first three years of the Loan’s term and then, beginning in January 2009, payments of interest and principal. We are not permitted under the Loan to make any prepayments on outstanding principal.

At December 31, 2005, our mortgage notes payable were collateralized with first mortgage liens on 25 Properties having a net book value of $1,684.2 million. We also owned 10 unencumbered Properties and other corporate assets having a net book value of $129.2 million at that date.

Certain of our loans have multiple Properties as collateral for such loans and have cross-default provisions. Under the cross-default provisions, a default under a single mortgage that is cross-collateralized may constitute a default under all of the mortgages in the pool of such cross-collateralized loans and could lead to acceleration of the indebtedness on all Properties under such loan. Properties which are subject to cross-default provisions have a total net book value of $81.8 million and represent one Community Center and three Malls. Properties under such cross-default provisions relate to i) the Morgantown Mall Associates LP loan representing two Properties with a net book value of $42.4 million and ii) the SAN Mall LP loan representing two Properties with a net book value of $39.4 million.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

Contractual Obligations

Long-term debt obligations are shown including both scheduled interest and principal payments. The nature of the obligations is disclosed in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements.

At December 31, 2005, we had the following obligations relating to dividend distributions. In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company declared distributions of $0.4808 per Common Share ($17.6 million) to be paid during the first quarter of 2006. Series F Preferred Shares and Series G Preferred Shares are not required to be redeemed and therefore, the dividends on those shares may be paid in perpetuity. However, as the Series F Preferred Shares are redeemable at our option on or after August 25, 2008, the obligation for the dividends for the Series F Preferred Shares are included in the contractual obligations through that date. Also, as the Series G Preferred Shares are redeemable at our option on or after February 23, 2009, the obligation for the dividends for the Series G Preferred Shares are also included in the contractual obligations through that date. The total dividend obligation for the Series F Preferred Shares and Series G Preferred Shares is $15.2 million and $41.4 million, respectively.

Capital lease obligations are for security equipment, phone systems and generators at the various Properties and are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet. Operating lease obligations are for office space, ground leases, phone system, office equipment, computer equipment and other miscellaneous items. The obligation for these leases at December 31, 2005 was $5.0 million.

36

At December 31, 2005, there were 3.1 million OP Units outstanding. These OP Units are redeemable, at the option of the holders, beginning on the first anniversary of their issuance. The redemption price for an OP Unit shall be, at the option of GPLP, payable in the following form and amount: (a) cash at a price equal to the fair market value of one Common Share of the Company or (b) Common Shares at the exchange ratio of one share for each OP Unit. The fair value of the OP Units outstanding at December 31, 2005 is $80.2 million based upon a per unit value of $25.74 at December 31, 2005, (based upon a five-day average of the Common Stock price from December 22, 2005 to December 29, 2005).

At December 31, 2005, we had executed leases committing to $19.3 million in tenant allowances. The leases will generate gross rents, which approximate $74.0 million over the original lease term.

Commercial Commitments

The Amended Credit Facility terms are discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements.

We have standby letters of credits for utility deposits ($150,000), a mortgage guarantee for The Mall at Fairfield Commons (“MFC”) ($4.0 million), certain tenant and capital improvements ($420,000) and a rate lock fee for River Valley Mall (“RVM”) ($500,000). These letters of credit will be released upon completion of specific requirements by the Company for certain tenants. We expect the tenants to meet the requirements and do not anticipate any payment to be required on these letters of credit.

Capital Expenditures

We plan our capital expenditures by considering various factors such as: return on investment, our five-year capital plan for major facility expenditures such as roof and parking lots, tenant construction allowances based upon the economics of the lease terms and cash available for making such expenditures. We categorize our capital expenditures into two broad categories, first-generation and second-generation expenditures. The first-generation expenditures relate to incremental revenues associated with new developments or creation of new GLA at our existing Properties. Second-generation expenditures are those expenditures associated with maintaining the current income stream and are generally expenditures made to maintain the Properties and to replace tenants for spaces that have been previously occupied. Capital expenditures are generally accumulated into a project and classified as “developments in progress” on the consolidated balance sheet until such time as the project is completed. At the time the project is complete, the dollars are transferred to the appropriate category on the balance sheet and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.

We invested approximately $55 million in redevelopment activity in 2005. These projects focused primarily on eight Malls. In addition, we invested $17 million in property capital expenditures for both operational needs and tenant improvements and $9 million in renovations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements (as defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K).

Acquisitions of Additional Properties

In December 2005, we formed the Venture with an affiliate of Oxford, which is the global real estate platform for the Ontario (Canada) Municipal Employees Retirement System, a Canadian pension plan. The initial acquisition of the Venture was the $170.1 million purchase of Puente. We have a 52% interest in the Venture and ORC has a 48% interest, but GPLP will be entitled to certain financial promotes provided that ORC earns a specified rate of return.  In connection with the acquisition, the Venture assumed an $88.8 million non-recourse mortgage loan, with the remainder of the purchase price being funded by contributions to the Venture from us and ORC.

In addition to our acquisition of Puente through the Venture, we also acquired Tulsa Promenade on January 17, 2006. Tulsa Promenade is a regional mall located in Tulsa, Oklahoma with approximately 927,000 square feet of GLA. The purchase price was $58.3 million and we did not assume any debt in connection with this purchase. We funded the acquisition with funds made available through our Amended Credit Facility.

Expansion, Renovation and Development Activity

We continue to be active in expansion, renovation and development activities. Our business strategy is to grow the Company’s assets, net income and cash flow to, among other things, provide for dividend requirements and to preserve, maintain and expand value for shareholders.

Expansions and Renovations

We maintain a strategy of selective expansions and renovations in order to improve the operating performance and the competitive position of our existing portfolio. We also engage in an active redevelopment program with the objective of attracting innovative retailers, which we believe will enhance the operating performance of the Properties.

Malls

Mall store occupancy (for our wholly-owned Malls) increased to 89.5% at December 31, 2005 from 88.5% at December 31, 2004. We believe that Mall store occupancy improvements were driven primarily by our improvements in the in-line stores. These improvements were partially offset by the decline in occupancy of our outparcel stores at the Malls. Anchor store occupancy (for our wholly-owned Malls) increased to 95.2% at December 31, 2005 from 93.7% at December 31, 2004. Mall anchor occupancy improvements relate to new anchor store openings of 254,291 square feet in 2005 for space that was vacant as of December 31, 2004. In addition to the openings, a 170,871 square foot vacant anchor store was demolished to make room for a new store to be built and opened in 2006. These improvements in anchor store occupancy were partially offset by new closings of 276,989 square feet in 2005. New openings included two new Steve and Barry’s stores at The Great Mall of the Great Plains and Morgantown Mall, Kohl’s at New Towne Mall and Burlington Coat Factory at Northtown Mall. Anchor store closings included Linens & Things at The Great Mall of the Great Plains, Toys R Us at Lloyd Center, JCPenney at Montgomery Mall and Office Max at Northwest Mall.

We have plans to add a lifestyle retail component to The Dayton Mall located in Dayton, Ohio, further enhancing the strong market share already enjoyed by this Property. The Dayton Mall project will include façade renovation and the addition of 97,000 square feet in an open-air center.

Eastland Ohio, located in Columbus, Ohio, was acquired in December 2003 with redevelopment plans existing at the time of the acquisition. The expansion at this Mall includes the addition of a 120,000 square foot Kaufmann’s anchor store, approximately 30,000 square feet of outward facing retail, interior renovations (including a children’s soft play area) and new in-line tenants. We have installed additional amenities, including a state-of-the-art security system, comfortable seating and carpeted areas that will enhance the shopping experience. The new Kaufmann’s store opened in October 2005.

The Polaris Fashion Place redevelopment project, located in Columbus, Ohio, centers around a replacement anchor for the parcel and building vacated by Lord & Taylor (the “Lord & Taylor parcel”). On May 16, 2005, we purchased the Lord & Taylor parcel from The May Department Stores Company. On July 20, 2005, we sold the Lord & Taylor parcel to Von Maur, Inc., an Iowa-based fashion specialty retailer (“Von Maur”). Von Maur opened their first Ohio store in the 140,000 square foot anchor space during the fourth quarter of 2005. In addition, we constructed a new approximately 9,450 square foot multi-tenant building. Leasing of this multi-tenant building is complete and some of these tenants opened in December 2005 and January 2006.

Redevelopment work is in process at Northtown Mall in Blaine, Minnesota. The expansion project includes tripling the size of the food court, installing new exterior signage, adding a new 10,000 square foot freestanding building and demolishing a vacant anchor space to be replaced with a new anchor store. The food court renovations and the exterior signage have been completed. Leasing of the new 10,000 square foot building is complete and all of the tenants opened during the third and fourth quarters of 2005. The vacant anchor has been demolished and site preparation is underway to prepare for the new anchor store.

Construction of 22,000 square feet of new freestanding retail GLA at Grand Central Mall in Parkersburg, West Virginia was completed in 2005. The new building replaced a vacant obsolete structure of 43,000 square feet that had previously been demolished. The new space includes an Old Navy, Panera Bread and planned additions of retail or restaurant tenants.

The Venture plans on making a $10 million interior renovation at Puente, which will include new flooring, updated lighting, refurbished and expanded food court, children’s soft play area and new vertical transportation. These renovations are planned for completion in 2006.

Developments

One of our objectives is to increase our portfolio by developing new retail properties. Our management team has developed over 100 retail properties nationwide and has significant experience in all phases of the development process including: site selection, zoning, design, pre-development leasing, construction financing and construction management.

On April 7, 2005, we closed on the purchase of two parcels of land located in Mason, Ohio, consisting of approximately 78.2 acres for a purchase price of $7.7 million (the “Mason Parcels”). This land was purchased in connection with the City Park development. On May 31, 2005, we sold one of the parcels making up the Mason Parcels that consists of 9.154 acres for a price of $1.0 million. Additionally, in connection with the City Park development, we currently have an option to purchase an undivided one-half (1/2) interest in a parcel of land consisting of approximately 65.8 acres located in Mason, Ohio.

As we continue to upgrade our tenant mix, we believe the regional mall portfolio will deliver solid performance in the areas of sales productivity and rents. Average mall store sales for the 12 months ended December 31, 2005 were $334 dollars per square foot, a 3.4% improvement from the $323 dollars per square foot reported for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. Comparable stores sales, which include only those stores open for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 and the same period of 2004, increased 1.1%.

Information Technology

We implemented the first phase of our commercial management system upgrade in August 2004. This first phase focused on replacing the former commercial management system and related Microsoft Access databases with Intuit Real Estate Solution’s commercial management system. The new software is used for lease accounting, tenant’s sales, accounts receivables, collections and cash processing. The second phase, which was the implementation of the recoveries module and the straight-line rent calculation, was completed in the second quarter of 2005. The recoveries module is used for calculating and billing the tenants’ share of CAM, real estate taxes and insurance.

Accounting Pronouncements 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123(R), to expand and clarify SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” in several areas. The Statement requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The cost is recognized over the requisite service period (usually the vesting period) for the estimated number of instruments where service is expected to be rendered. This Statement is effective beginning in the first quarter of 2006 for all unvested awards. Since we previously adopted the provisions of expensing stock-based compensation using the fair value based method of accounting as permitted under SFAS No. 123 (see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements), we do not expect our financial statements will be materially impacted by SFAS No. 123(R).

In December 2004, The FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets”. The issue addresses the accounting for nonmonetary exchanges as an area in which the U.S. standard could be improved by eliminating certain differences between the measurement guidance in Opinion 29 and that in International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) No. 16, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, and IAS No. 38, “Intangible Assets”. The provisions of this Statement are effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The provisions of this Statement are applied prospectively. We do not expect our financial statements will be materially impacted by SFAS No. 153.

In September 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued Issue 04-05, “Investor’s Accounting for an Investment in a Limited Partnership When the Investor is the Sole General Partner and the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights”, (“EITF 04-05”). At issue is what rights held by the limited partner(s) preclude consolidation in circumstances in which the sole general partner would consolidate the limited partnership in accordance with GAAP. The assessment of limited partners’ rights and their impact on the presumption of control of the limited partnership by the sole general partner should be made when an investor becomes the sole general partner and should be reassessed if (i) there is a change to the terms or in the exercisability of the rights of the limited partners, (ii) the sole general partner increases or decreases its ownership of limited partnership interests, or (iii) there is an increase or decrease in the number of outstanding limited partnership interests. This issue is effective no later than for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 and as of June 29, 2005 for new or modified arrangements. The impact of adopting EITF 04-05 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.


Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. We use interest rate protection agreements to manage interest rate risks associated with long-term, floating rate debt. At December 31, 2005, approximately 82.8% of our debt, after giving effect to interest rate protection agreements, bore interest at fixed rates with weighted-average maturity of 6.7 years and a weighted-average interest rate of approximately 6.35%. At December 31, 2004 approximately 89.7% of our debt, after giving effect to interest rate protection agreements, bore interest at fixed rates with weighted-average maturity of 6.9 years, and a weighted-average interest rate of approximately 6.41%. The remainder of our debt at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, bears interest at variable rates with weighted-average interest rates of approximately 5.96% and 4.34%, respectively.

At December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the fair value of our debt (excluding our Amended Credit Facility) was $1,358.7 million and $1,353.6 million, respectively, compared to its carrying amounts of $1,351.5 million and $1,328.6 million, respectively. Our combined future earnings, cash flows and fair values relating to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market rates of interest, primarily LIBOR. Based upon consolidated indebtedness and interest rates at December 31, 2005 and 2004, a 100 basis points increase in the market rates of interest would decrease future earnings and cash flows by $2.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively for the year. Also, the fair value of debt would decrease by approximately $36.7 million and $43.3 million, at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. A 100 basis points decrease in the market rates of interest would increase future earnings and cash flows by $2.5 million and $1.4 million, for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and increase the fair value of debt by approximately $39.1 million and $46.3 million, at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. We have entered into certain cap agreements which impact this analysis at certain LIBOR rate levels (see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements).

Information regarding Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure is incorporated by reference to the Registrant’s definitive proxy statement to be filed with the SEC within 120 days after the year-end of the year covered by this Form 10-K with respect to the 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholder’s to be held on May 5, 2006 (the “Annual Meeting”).

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately and on a timely basis in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the SEC. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance, that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

As of December 31, 2005, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in "Internal Control -- Integrated Framework", issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Based on this assessment, management has concluded that as of December 31, 2005, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our independent registered public accounting firm, BDO Seidman, LLP, audited management’s assessment and independently assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. BDO Seidman, LLP has issued an attestation report concurring with management’s assessment, which is set forth below.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control
Over Financial Reporting

Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Glimcher Realty Trust
Columbus, Ohio

We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting”, that Glimcher Realty Trust maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Glimcher Realty Trust’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, management's assessment that Glimcher Realty Trust maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also in our opinion, Glimcher Realty Trust maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Glimcher Realty Trust as of December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years ending December 31, 2005 of Glimcher Realty Trust and our report dated February 22, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the last fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Glimcher Realty Trust
Columbus, Ohio

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Glimcher Realty Trust as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. We have also audited the schedule listed in Item 15(a) 2. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and schedule are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and schedule, assessing the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and schedule. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Glimcher Realty Trust at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company, on January 1, 2003, adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” as amended by the Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation- Transition and Disclosure”.

Also, in our opinion, the schedule presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Glimcher Realty Trust’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated February 22, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of, and the effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting.

GLIMCHER REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except share and unit amounts)

1.
Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

Glimcher Realty Trust is a fully-integrated, self-administered and self-managed, Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”), which owns, leases, manages and develops a portfolio of retail properties (the “Property” or “Properties”) consisting of enclosed regional and super regional malls (“Malls”) and community shopping centers, including single tenant retail properties (“Community Centers”). At December 31, 2005, the Company owned and operated a total of 36 Properties consisting of 25 Malls (24 wholly-owned and 1 partially owned through a joint venture) and 11 Community Centers. The “Company” refers to Glimcher Realty Trust, Glimcher Properties Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, as well as entities in which the Company has an interest.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Glimcher Realty Trust (“GRT”), Glimcher Properties Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership,” “OP” or “GPLP”) and Glimcher Development Corporation (“GDC”). As of December 31, 2005, GRT was a limited partner in GPLP with a 91.6% ownership interest and GRT’s wholly owned subsidiary, Glimcher Properties Corporation (“GPC”), was GPLP’s sole general partner. GDC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GPLP, provides development, construction, leasing and legal services to the Company’s affiliates and is a taxable REIT subsidiary. The equity method of accounting is applied to entities in which the Company does not have controlling direct or indirect voting interest, but can exercise influence over the entity with respect to its operations and major decisions. These entities are reflected on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as “Investments in unconsolidated real estate entities.” All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

Minimum rents are recognized on an accrual basis over the terms of the related leases on a straight-line basis. Percentage rents, which are based on tenants’ sales, are recognized once the sales reported by such tenants exceed any applicable breakpoints as specified in the tenants’ leases. Recoveries from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance and other shopping center operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period that the applicable costs are incurred. The Company recognizes differences between estimated recoveries and the final billed amounts in the subsequent year. Other revenues primarily consist of fee income which relates to property management services and is recognized in the period in which the service is performed, temporary tenant revenues which are recognized as earned and the proceeds from sales of development land which are generally recognized at the closing date.

Tenant Accounts Receivable

The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s estimate of the amounts of the recorded accounts receivable at the balance sheet date that will not be recovered from cash receipts in subsequent periods. The Company’s policy is to record a periodic provision for doubtful accounts based on total revenues. The Company also periodically reviews specific tenant balances and determines whether an additional allowance is necessary. In recording such a provision, the Company considers a tenant’s creditworthiness, ability to pay, probability of collections and consideration of the retail sector in which the tenant operates. The allowance for doubtful accounts is reviewed periodically based upon the Company’s historical experience.

Investment in Real Estate - Carrying Value of Assets

The Company maintains a diverse portfolio of real estate assets. The portfolio holdings have increased as a result of both acquisitions and the development of new Properties and have been reduced by selected sales of assets. The amounts to be capitalized as a result of acquisitions and developments and the periods over which the assets are depreciated or amortized are determined based on the application of accounting standards that may require estimates as to fair value and the allocation of various costs to the individual assets. The Company allocates the cost of the acquisition based upon the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired. The Company also estimates the fair value of intangibles related to its acquisitions. The valuation of the fair value of the intangibles involves estimates related to market conditions, probability of lease renewals and the current market value of in-place leases. This market value is determined by considering factors such as the tenant’s industry, location within the Property and competition in the specific market in which the Property operates. Differences in the amount attributed to the intangible assets can be significant based upon the assumptions made in calculating these estimates.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation expense is computed using a straight-line method and estimated useful lives for buildings and improvements using a weighted average composite life of forty years and equipment and fixtures of five to ten years. Expenditures for leasehold improvements and construction allowances paid to tenants are capitalized and amortized over the term of each lease. Cash allowances paid for improvements to real estate owned by retailers are capitalized as contract intangibles and amortized over the life of the operating agreements. Cash allowances paid to retailers that are used for purposes other than improvements to the real estate are amortized as a reduction to minimum rents over the initial lease term. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Investment in Real Estate - Impairment evaluation

Management evaluates the recoverability of its investment in real estate assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” This statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that recoverability of the asset is not assured.

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its investments in real estate assets to be held and used each quarter and records an impairment charge when there is an indicator of impairment and the undiscounted projected future cash flows are less than the carrying amount for a particular Property. The estimated cash flows used for the impairment analysis and the determination of estimated fair value are based on the Company’s plans for the respective assets and the Company’s views of market and economic conditions. The estimates consider matters such as current and historical rental rates, occupancies for the respective Properties and comparable properties and recent sales data for comparable properties. Changes in estimated future cash flows due to changes in the Company’s plans or views of market and economic conditions could result in recognition of impairment losses, which, under the applicable accounting guidance, could be substantial.

Sale of Real Estate Assets

The Company recognizes property sales in accordance with SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.” The Company generally records the sales of operating properties and outparcels using the full accrual method at closing when the earnings process is deemed to be complete. Sales not qualifying for full recognition at the time of sale are accounted for under other appropriate deferral methods.

(dollars in thousands, except share and unit amounts)

Investment in Real Estate - Held for Sale

The Company evaluates the held for sale classification of its real estate each quarter. Assets that are classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Assets are generally classified as held for sale once management commits to a plan to sell the properties and has initiated an active program to market them for sale. The results of operations of these real estate properties are reflected as discontinued operations in all periods reported.

On occasion, the Company will receive unsolicited offers from third parties to buy individual Company properties. Under these circumstances, the Company will classify the properties as held for sale when a sales contract is executed with no contingencies and the prospective buyer has funds at risk to ensure performance.

Accounting for Acquisitions

The fair value of the real estate acquired is allocated to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases for acquired in-place leases and the value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values. Purchase accounting was applied to assets and liabilities related to real estate entities acquired based upon the percentage of interest acquired.

The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land, building and tenant improvements) is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets. Management determines the as-if-vacant fair value of a property using methods to determine the replacement cost of the tangible assets.

In determining the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The capitalized above-market lease values and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an adjustment to rental income over the initial lease term.

The aggregate value of in-place leases is determined by evaluating various factors, including an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, current market conditions and similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related costs. The value assigned to this intangible asset is amortized over the remaining lease term plus an assumed renewal period.

The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets include tenant relationships. Factors considered by management in assigning a value to these relationships include: assumptions of probability of lease renewals, investment in tenant improvements, leasing commissions and an approximate time lapse in rental income while a new tenant is located. The value assigned to this intangible asset is amortized over the average life of the relationship.

Deferred Costs

The Company capitalizes initial direct costs in accordance with SFAS No. 91, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases,” and amortizes these costs over the initial lease term. The costs are capitalized upon the execution of the lease and the amortization period begins the earlier of the store opening date or the date the tenant’s lease obligation begins.

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure,” prospectively to all awards granted, modified or settled on or after January 1, 2003. Accordingly, the Company recognized as compensation expense the fair value of all awards granted after January 1, 2003. Prior to January 1, 2003, the Company applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”) and related interpretations in accounting for its plans. Under the provisions of APB 25, the Company was not required to recognize compensation expense related to options because the options were granted at a price equal to the market price on the day of grant. Had compensation cost for the plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for grants under these plans consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net income available to common shareholders would have decreased $4, $39 and $58 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Earnings per share basic would have remained unchanged as a result of this stock compensation expense for 2005 and 2004. In 2003, earnings per share basic would have changed from $0.56 to $0.55. Earnings per share diluted would have remained unchanged as a result of this stock compensation expense for 2005, 2004 and 2003.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, cash and cash equivalents primarily consisted of overnight purchases of debt securities. The carrying amounts approximate fair value.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists primarily of cash held for real estate taxes, insurance and property reserves for maintenance and expansion or leasehold improvements as required by certain of the loan agreements.

Deferred Expenses

Deferred expenses consist principally of financing fees. These costs are amortized over the terms of the respective agreements. Deferred expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are shown net of accumulated amortization of $8,676 and $9,449 as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. During 2004 and 2003, the Company expensed $1,765 and $826, respectively, of unamortized financing fees in connection with the early retirement of debt. Such amounts have been reported as interest expense in the accompanying financial statements.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments in the consolidated financial statements at fair value regardless of the purpose or intent for holding the instrument. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments that qualify for hedge accounting are recorded in stockholders’ equity as a component of comprehensive income or as an adjustment to the carrying value of the hedged item. Changes in fair values of derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting are reported in earnings.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified into interest income or interest expense in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects interest income or interest expense. The remaining gain or loss of the derivative instruments in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of future cash flows of the hedged item, if any, is ineffective and is recognized in other income/other expense during the period of change. Upon termination of a derivative instrument prior to maturity, the aforementioned adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income is amortized/accreted into interest income or interest expense over the remaining term of the hedge relationship using the effective interest method. Should the hedged item be sold, mature or extinguished prior to the end of the hedge relationship or a forecasted transaction is probable of not occurring, the aforementioned amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified to interest income or interest expense and the derivative instrument’s change in fair value from that point forward will be recorded in other income or other expense.

Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities

The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated real estate entities using the equity method of accounting whereby the cost of an investment is adjusted for the Company’s share of equity in net income or loss from the date of acquisition and reduced by distributions received. The income or loss of each investee is allocated in accordance with the provisions of the applicable operating agreements. The allocation provisions in these agreements may differ from the ownership interest held by each investor. Differences between the carrying amount of the Company’s investment in the respective investees and the Company’s share of the underlying equity of such unconsolidated entities are amortized over the respective lives of the underlying assets as applicable.

The Company periodically reviews its investment in unconsolidated real estate entities for other than temporary declines in market value. Any decline that is not expected to be recovered in the next twelve months is considered other than temporary and an impairment charge is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the investment. No impairment charges were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2005

Advertising Costs

The Company promotes its Properties on behalf of its tenants through various media. Advertising is expensed as incurred and the majority of the advertising expense is recovered from the tenants through lease obligations. Net advertising expense was $1,069, $1,118 and $2,106 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Income Taxes

GRT files as a REIT under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). In order to qualify as a REIT, GRT is required to distribute at least 90.0% of its ordinary taxable income to shareholders and to meet certain asset and income tests as well as certain other requirements. GRT will generally not be liable for federal income taxes, provided it satisfies the necessary distribution requirements and maintains its REIT status. Even as a qualified REIT, the Company is subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property.

The Company’s subsidiary, GDC, has elected taxable REIT subsidiary status under Section 856(l) of the Code. GPLP wholly owns GDC. For federal income tax purposes, GDC is treated as a separate entity and taxed as a regular C-Corporation. In accordance with SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes,” deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating loss carryforwards of GDC. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Minority Interests 

Minority interests represent the aggregate partnership interest in the Operating Partnership held by the Operating Partnership limited partner unit holders (the “Unit Holders”). Income allocated to minority interest is based on the Unit Holders ownership percentage of the Operating Partnership. The ownership percentage is determined by dividing the numbers of Operating Partnership Units (“OP Units”) held by the Unit Holders by the total OP Units outstanding. The issuance of additional shares of beneficial interest (the Common “Shares” or “Share”) or OP Units changes the percentage ownership of both the Unit Holders and the Company. Since a unit is generally redeemable for cash or Shares at the option of the Company, it is deemed to be equivalent to a Share. Therefore, such transactions are treated as capital transactions and result in an allocation between shareholders’ equity and minority interest in the accompanying balance sheets to account for the change in the ownership of the underlying equity in the Operating Partnership.

Supplemental Disclosure of Non-Cash Financing and Investing Activities

As a result of the Company’s acquisitions of joint venture interests not previously owned, the Company had non-cash debt assumptions and issued OP Units. The debt assumed was $193,190 for the twelve months ending December 31, 2004. In January 2004, the Company issued 594,342 new OP Units with an approximate value of $13,564 in connection with the acquisition of the remaining joint venture interest in Polaris Fashion Place, an approximately 1.6 million square foot upscale regional Mall in Columbus, OH (“Polaris”). Non-cash transactions resulting from other accounts payable and accrued expenses for ongoing operations such as real estate improvements and other assets were $13,815 and $537 as of December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

Share distributions of $17,552 and $17,157 and Operating Partnership distributions of $1,498 and $1,670 had been declared but not paid as of December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. 8.75% Series F Cumulative Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest (“Series F Preferred Shares”) distributions of $1,313 had been declared but not paid as of December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. 8.125% Series G Cumulative Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest (“Series G Preferred Shares”) distributions of $3,046 had been declared but not paid as of December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. Amounts paid for interest, exclusive of capitalized interest were $88,937, $89,864 and $76,520 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Comprehensive Income

SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes guidelines for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in financial statements. Comprehensive income includes net income and all other non-owner charges in shareholder’s equity during a period including unrealized gains and losses from value adjustments on certain derivative instruments.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123(R), to expand and clarify SFAS No. 123 in several areas. The Statement requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The cost is recognized over the requisite service period (usually the vesting period) for the estimated number of instruments where service is expected to be rendered. This Statement is effective beginning in the first quarter of 2006 for all unvested awards. Since the Company previously adopted the provisions of expensing stock-based compensation using the fair value based method of accounting as permitted under SFAS No. 123, the Company does not expect its financial statements will be materially impacted by SFAS No. 123(R).

In December 2004, The FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets”. The issue addresses the accounting for nonmonetary exchanges as an area in which the U.S. standard could be improved by eliminating certain differences between the measurement guidance in Opinion 29 and that in International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) No. 16, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, and IAS No. 38, “Intangible Assets”. The provisions of this Statement are effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The provisions of this Statement are applied prospectively. The Company does not expect its financial statements will be materially impacted by SFAS No. 153.

In September 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued Issue 04-05, “Investor’s Accounting for an Investment in a Limited Partnership When the Investor is the Sole General Partner and the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights”, (“EITF 04-05”). At issue is what rights held by the limited partner(s) preclude consolidation in circumstances in which the sole general partner would consolidate the limited partnership in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principals. The assessment of limited partners’ rights and their impact on the presumption of control of the limited partnership by the sole general partner should be made when an investor becomes the sole general partner and should be reassessed if (i) there is a change to the terms or in the exercisability of the rights of the limited partners, (ii) the sole general partner increases or decreases its ownership of limited partnership interests, or (iii) there is an increase or decrease in the number of outstanding limited partnership interests. This issue is effective no later than for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 and as of June 29, 2005 for new or modified arrangements. The impact of adopting EITF 04-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts, including the presentation of the statements of operations required by SFAS No. 144, have been made in the financial statements to conform to the 2005 presentation.

3.
Real Estate Assets Held for Sale

SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” requires that long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale be measured at the lower of book value or fair value less costs to sell. In the third quarter of 2005, management committed to a plan to sell twelve Properties and initiated an active program to market them. Accordingly, these assets were classified as held for sale. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company sold four of these Properties. In addition to classifying these properties as held for sale, the financial results, including any impairment charges of these properties are reported as discontinued operations and the net book value of the assets are reflected as held for sale on the balance sheet. Impairment losses on Properties classified as held for sale totaled $16,393, $0 and $2,460 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. As of December 31, 2005, eight Properties remain classified as held for sale with a net book value of $72,178. One Property with a net book value of $1,590 was classified as held for sale at December 31, 2004.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
(dollars in thousands, except share and unit amounts)

All mortgage notes payable are collateralized by certain properties owned by the respective entities with net book values of $1,684,178 and $1,654,690 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Certain of the loans contain financial covenants regarding minimum net operating income and coverage ratios. Management believes they are in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2005. Additionally, certain of the loans have cross-default provisions and are cross-collateralized with mortgages on the Properties owned by the borrowers SAN Mall, LP and Morgantown Mall Associates, LP. Under such cross-default provisions, a default under any mortgage included in a cross-defaulted loan may constitute a default under all such mortgages under that loan and may lead to acceleration of the indebtedness due on each Property within the collateral pool. Additionally, $89,398 of mortgage notes payable relating to certain Properties have been guaranteed by GPLP as of December 31, 2005.

Principal maturities (excluding extension options) on mortgage notes payable during the five years subsequent to December 31, 2005, are as follows: 2006 $99,941; 2007 $125,299; 2008 $120,101; 2009 $64,055; 2010 $93,927; thereafter $846,264.

Notes Payable

In August 2005, the Company closed on a $300,000 amended credit facility (the “Amended Credit Facility”) that matures in August 2008 and has a one-year extension option. The Amended Credit Facility is unsecured and replaces a $150,000 secured credit facility that was due to expire in October 2006. The Amended Credit Facility is expandable to $400,000, provided there is no default under the Amended Credit Facility and that one or more participating lenders agrees to increase their funding commitment or one or more new participating lenders is added to the facility. The interest rate ranges from LIBOR plus 1.05% to LIBOR plus 1.55% depending upon the Company’s ratio of debt to total asset value. The Amended Credit Facility contains customary covenants, representations, warranties and events of default, including maintenance of a specified minimum net worth requirement; a total debt to total asset value ratio; a secured debt to total asset value ratio; an interest coverage ratio; and a fixed charge coverage ratio. Management believes they are in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2005.

At December 31, 2005, the outstanding balance on the Amended Credit Facility was $150,000. Additionally, $5,070 represents a holdback on the available balance for letters of credit issued under the Amended Credit Facility at December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2005, the unused balance of the Amended Credit Facility available to the Company was $144,930 and the interest rate was 5.54%.

At December 31, 2004, the outstanding balance on the secured credit facility was $74,000. Additionally, $4,600 represented a holdback on the available balance for letters of credit issued under the secured credit facility at December 31, 2004. As of December 31, 2004, the unused balance of the credit facility available to the Company was $71,400 and the interest rate was 4.10%.

The gross tax loss carryforwards total $5,805 and expire $2,731, $355, $144, $479, $623, $561 and $912 in 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

The income tax provision consisted of $2, $12 and $49 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, related to current state and local taxes. Net deferred tax expense for each of the years was $0. The income tax expense reflected in consolidated statements of operations differs from the amount determined by applying the federal statutory rate of 34% to the income before taxes of the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries as a result of state income taxes and the utilization of tax loss carryforwards of $0, $0 and $968 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. A full valuation allowance had previously been provided against the tax loss carryforwards utilized.
 
In 2005, the Company continued to maintain a valuation allowance for the Company’s net deferred tax assets, which consisted primarily of tax loss carryforwards. The valuation allowance was determined in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes” which requires the recording of a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that any or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In absence of favorable factors, application of SFAS No. 109 requires a 100% valuation allowance for any net deferred tax assets when a company has cumulative financial accounting losses, excluding unusual items, over several years. The Company’s cumulative loss represented negative evidence sufficient to require a full valuation allowance under the provisions of SFAS No. 109. The Company intends to maintain a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax asset until sufficient positive evidence exists to support reversal of the reserve. Until such time, except for minor state and local tax provisions, the Company will have no reported tax provision, net of valuation allowance adjustments.

Preferred Shares

GRT’s Declaration of Trust authorizes GRT to issue up to an aggregate 100,000,000 shares of GRT, consisting of common shares and/or one or more series of preferred shares of beneficial interest.

On November 17, 1997, GRT completed a $120,000 public offering of 4,800,000 shares of 9.25% Series B Cumulative Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest (the “Series B Preferred Shares”). On November 25, 1997, GRT sold an additional 318,000 Series B Preferred Shares as a result of the underwriters exercising the over-allotment option granted to them. Aggregate net proceeds of the offering were $123,072. Distributions on the Series B Preferred Shares were payable quarterly in arrears and the Company was able to redeem the Series B Preferred Shares anytime on or after November 15, 2003, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid distributions. On February 27, 2004, the Company redeemed 5,118,000 of the Series B Preferred Shares. Shareholders of record at the close of business on February 27, 2004 received a redemption price of $25.00 per share plus an amount equal to the dividends accrued and unpaid. The total cost to redeem the shares was $129,824.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
(dollars in thousands, except share and unit amounts)

The redemption of the Series B Preferred Shares resulted in a $4,878 non-cash charge as required under EITF Topic Number D-42, “The Effect on the Calculation of Earnings Per Share for the Redemption or Induced Conversion of Preferred Stock.” This one time non-cash charge represents costs that were incurred and recorded in “Additional Paid In Capital” at the time of the initial issuance of the Series B Preferred Shares in 1997.

On March 9, 1999, the Board of Trustees adopted a Preferred Share Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to which a distribution will be made of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding Common Share. The distribution was made on March 22, 1999, to the shareholders of record at the close of business on that date. These rights trade with our Common Shares. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth of a Series E Junior Participating Preferred Share of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), at a price of $55.00 per one one-hundredth of a Preferred Share (the “Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment. The Rights will become exercisable in the event that any person or group acquires or announces its intention to acquire beneficial ownership of 15.0% or more of the outstanding common shares of the Company (an “Acquiring Person”). Alternatively, each Right holder, except the Acquiring Person, will have the right to receive upon exercise that number of common shares having a market value of two times the Purchase Price of the Right. At any time before any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, the Board of Trustees may redeem the Rights at a price of $0.01 per Right at which time the right to exercise the Rights will terminate. At any time after a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, the Board of Trustees may exchange the Rights at an exchange ratio of one common share or one Preferred Share per Right. The Plan expires on March 9, 2009.

On August 25, 2003, the Company completed a $60,000 public offering of 2,400,000 shares of Series F Preferred Shares, par value $0.01 per share, at a purchase price of $25.00 per Series F Preferred Share. Aggregate net proceeds of the offering were $58,110. Distributions on the Series F Preferred Shares are payable quarterly in arrears. The Company generally may redeem the Series F Preferred Shares anytime on or after August 25, 2008, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid distributions.

On February 23, 2004, the Company completed a $150,000 public offering of 6,000,000 shares of Series G Preferred Shares. Aggregate net proceeds of the offering were $145,300. Distributions on the Series G Preferred Shares are payable quarterly in arrears beginning on April 15, 2004. The Company generally may redeem the Series G Preferred Shares anytime on or after February 23, 2009, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid distributions. The proceeds were used to redeem the Series B Preferred Shares on February 27, 2004 and to pay down $16,900 of the Company’s Credit Facility.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for its derivatives and hedging activities under SFAS No. 133 as amended by SFAS No. 138 and 149. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, the Company recognized additional other comprehensive income of $9 to adjust the carrying amount of the interest rate swaps and caps to fair values at December 31, 2005, net of $11 in reclassifications to earnings for interest rate swap settlements and interest rate cap amortization during the period and $1 in minority interest participation. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, the Company recognized additional other comprehensive income of $1,192 to adjust the carrying amount of the interest rate swaps and caps to fair values at December 31, 2004, net of $1,325 in reclassifications to earnings for interest rate swap settlements and interest rate cap amortization during the period and $100 in minority interest participation. The interest rate swap settlements were offset by a corresponding reduction in interest expense related to the interest payments being hedged.

The Company may be exposed to the risk associated with variability of interest rates that might impact the cash flows and the results of operations of the Company. Our hedging strategy, therefore, is to eliminate or reduce, to the extent possible, the volatility of cash flows. The following table summarizes the notional values and fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2005. The notional values provide an indication of the extent of the Company’s involvement in these instruments at that time, but do not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks.

On December 31, 2005, the derivative instruments were reported at their fair value of $0 in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheet, with a corresponding adjustment to other comprehensive income for the unrealized gains and losses (net of minority interest participation). Over time, the unrealized gains and losses held in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified to earnings, of which $28 is expected to be reclassified in 2006. This reclassification will correlate with the recognition of the hedged interest payments in earnings. There was no hedge ineffectiveness during the twelve months ended December 31, 2005.

To determine the fair values of derivative instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each balance sheet date. Standard market conventions and techniques such as undiscounted cash flow analysis, replacement cost, and termination cost are used to determine fair value.

Rentals Under Operating Leases

The Company receives rental income from the leasing of retail shopping center space under operating leases with expiration dates through the year 2027. The minimum future base rentals under non-cancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2005 are as follows:

Minimum future base rentals do not include amounts which may be received from certain tenants based upon a percentage of their gross sales or as reimbursement of real estate taxes and property operating expenses. Minimum rents contain straight-line adjustments for rental revenue increases which aggregated $578, $614 and $2,065 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In 2005, 2004 and 2003, no tenant collectively accounted for more than 10.0% of rental income. The tenant base includes national, regional and local retailers, and consequently the credit risk is concentrated in the retail industry.

The Company had provided guarantees in connection with the outstanding debt of Polaris. In connection with the development of Polaris, the Operating Partnership provided the lender with a completion guarantee and an unconditional guarantee of payment of $60,000 (50.0% of the outstanding obligation on the indebtedness on the property). Upon refinancing of the construction loan on April 1, 2003, these guarantees were released. In connection with the new mortgage loan, the Operating Partnership provided the lender with a guarantee until certain tenant allowances are paid. The guarantee was $89 at December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2005, no provision for losses have been provided in connection with this guarantee, as the Company does not expect to incur any liability.

At December 31, 2005, there were 3.1 million OP Units outstanding. These OP Units are redeemable, at the option of the holders, beginning on the first anniversary of their issuance. The redemption price for an OP Unit shall be, at the option of GPLP, payable in the following form and amount: (a) cash at a price equal to the fair market value of one Common Share of GRT or (b) one Common Shares for each OP Unit. The fair value of the OP Units outstanding at December 31, 2005 is $80,200 based upon a per unit value of $25.74 at December 31, 2005, (based upon a five-day average of the Common Stock price from December 22, 2005 to December 29, 2005).

In addition, in July 1998, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority issued approximately $140,500 of Economic Development Bonds. On May 29, 2002, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority refunded certain of the Economic Development Bonds issued in 1998 and issued approximately $108,940 of replacement Economic Development Bonds. The Company began making quarterly Payment In Lieu of Taxes (“PILOT”) payments commencing May 2001 and terminating on the date of the final payment of the bonds. Such PILOT payments are treated as real estate tax expense in the statements of operations. The amount of the annual PILOT payments beginning with the bond year ended April 1, 2001 was $8,925 and increases 10.0% every five years until the final payment is made. The Company has provided a limited guarantee of franchise tax payments to be received by the city until franchise tax payments achieve $5,600 annually; any such payments made by the Company are subject to refund from future franchise tax payments. The Company has made $10,961 in payments under this agreement through December 31, 2005.

The Company has reserved $726 in relation to a contingency associated with the sale of Loyal Plaza, a community center sold in 2002, relating to environmental assessment and monitoring matters. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company established a contingency reserve of $400 in association with a litigation between GDC and a service provider.

The Company is involved in lawsuits, claims and proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not presently involved in any material litigation. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” the Company makes a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, the Company does not expect any such legal actions to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole.

During the fourth quarter of 2004, GRT received a subpoena for documents from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in connection with an investigation concerning the election by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP not to renew its engagement as the independent accountant for the Company (which was previously reported by GRT in Forms 8-K and 8-K/A filed on June 8 and June 15, 2004, respectively) and a related party transaction involving the Company’s City Park development project (which transaction was previously reported by GRT in its Form 10-K filed on March 12, 2004). During the first quarter of 2005, the Company also received a subpoena for documents from the SEC that primarily seeks documents concerning the restatement of the Company's financial statements for the years ended 2001 through 2003 (which restatement was reported by the Company in a Form 8-K filed on February 22, 2005). The Company is cooperating fully with each investigation.

All options granted under the employee plan and options under the trustee plan, except those number of options noted as exceptions, are exercisable over a three-year period. The three-year period vests with options exercisable at a rate of 33.3% per annum beginning with the first anniversary of the date of grant and will remain exercisable through the tenth anniversary of such date. Exceptions to this vesting schedule are options that are exercisable immediately and will remain exercisable through the tenth anniversary of date granted. The number of options that are exercisable immediately are 18,000, 18,000 and 21,000 shares granted under the trustee plan in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Employee Benefit Plan - 401(k) Plan

In January 1996, the Company established a qualified retirement savings plan under Code 401(k) for eligible employees, which contains a cash or deferred arrangement which permits participants to defer up to a maximum of 25.0% of their compensation, subject to certain limitations. Employees 21 years old or above who have been employed by the Company for at least six months are eligible to participate. Participant’s salary deferrals up to a maximum of 4.0% of qualified compensation were matched at 50.0% for the two years ending December 31, 2004. The Company contributed $373, $228 and $190 to the plan in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Effective January 1, 2005, participant’s salary deferrals up to a maximum of 6% of qualified compensation were matched at 50.0%.

(1) The minority interest adjustment reflects the reclassification of the minority interest expense from continuing to discontinued operations for appropriate allocation in the calculation of the earnings per share for discontinued operations.
 
Options with exercise prices greater than the average share prices for the periods presented were excluded from the respective computations of diluted EPS because to do so would have been antidilutive. The number of such options was 599 thousand, 429 thousand and 225 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying value of the credit facility is also a reasonable estimate of its fair value because it bears variable rate interest at current market rates. Based on the discounted amount of future cash flows using rates currently available to GRT for similar liabilities (ranging from 5.05% to 7.28% per annum at December 31, 2005 and 4.34% to 6.63% per annum at December 31, 2004), the fair value of GRT’s mortgage notes payable is estimated at $1,358,744 and $1,353,610 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The fair value of the debt instruments considers in part the credit of GRT as an entity, and not just the individual entities and Properties owned by GRT.

Acquisitions

The Company accounts for acquisitions under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” The Company has finalized the allocation of the purchase price for Properties acquired through 2005 and no material adjustments have been made to the original allocations.

Intangibles, which were recorded at the acquisition date, associated with acquisitions of WestShore Plaza Mall, Eastland Ohio, Polaris and Polaris Towne Center are comprised of an asset for acquired above-market leases of $7,940, a liability for acquired below-market leases of $17,951 and an asset for tenant relationships of $4,156. The intangibles related to above and below-market leases are being amortized as a net increase to minimum rents on a straight-line basis over the lives of the leases with a weighted average amortization period of 10.7 years. Amortization of the tenant relationship is recorded as amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the 12.5 years. Net amortization for all of the acquired intangibles is an increase to net income in the amount of $415, $611 and $158 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The net book value of the above-market leases is $5,494 and $6,742 as of December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, and is included in the accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The net book value of the below-market leases is $13,663 and $15,655 as of December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively and is included in the accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The net book value of the tenant relationships is $3,498 and $3,827 as of December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively and is included in prepaid and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Net amortization of these intangibles as an increase to net income will be as follows:

Subsequent Events

On January 17, 2006, the Company acquired Tulsa Promenade. Tulsa Promenade is a regional mall located in Tulsa, Oklahoma with approximately 927,000 square feet of gross leasable area. The purchase price was $58,300 and the Company did not assume any debt in connection with the purchase.

On February 7, 2006, the Company sold Pea Ridge Plaza, a Community Center asset in Huntington, West Virginia for $5,400. The Company used the proceeds to pay down debt. Pea Ridge Plaza was classified as held for sale at December 31, 2005 and the operating results of the property were included in discontinued operations.

On January 13, 2006, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement to borrow $30,000 (the “Loan”). The Loan is represented by a promissory note secured by a first mortgage lien and assignment of leases and rents on The Great Mall of the Great Plains located in Olathe, Kansas. The Loan has a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.65% per annum and a maturity date of January 13, 2009. The Loan Agreement requires the Company to make interest only periodic payments with all outstanding principal and accrued interest being due and payable at the maturity date. The Agreement contains default provisions customary for transactions of this nature. The proceeds of the Loan where used to payoff the previous loan in the same amount.

On January 19, 2006, the Company entered into an Interest Rate Swap Agreement (“the swap”) to hedge the interest rate risk exposure on the $30,000 variable-rate Loan noted above. The swap, effective February 15, 2006, will effectively fix the Company’s interest payments on the Loan at a rate of 4.7025% plus the credit spread on the debt through January 15, 2008. In addition, the Company dedesignated the existing $30,000 interest rate cap as a cash flow hedge under SFAS 133.

Total revenues and operating income for 2005 and 2004 are restated to reflect SFAS 144. Net income available to shareholders reflects the net gains and losses associated with the sale of discontinued operations. It also reflects the income and loss from discontinued operations. The differences between revenues and revenues previously reported in interim financial statements in 2005 and 2004 relate to changes in property classification from continuing to discontinuing operations.

Buyer shall notify Seller, in writing, of its intention, or the intention of its agents or representatives, to enter the Real Property at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to such intended entry, and obtain Seller's prior written consent to any inspections, studies and tests to be conducted (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). At Seller's option, Seller may be present for any inspection, test or study. Buyer shall bear the cost of all inspections, tests and studies. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall Buyer (i) make any intrusive physical testing (environmental, structural or otherwise) at the Property (such as soil borings, water samples and the like) without Seller's prior written consent, or (ii) contact any Tenant without Seller's prior written consent. 3.1.2 Buyer's Delivery of Information to Seller.

Seller hereby acknowledges that Buyer has not made and does not make any warranty or representation regarding the truth or accuracy of any Buyer's Information, except as expressly set forth in Section 5.6 of this Agreement. 3.2 Document Review. 3.2.1 Documents. Within five (5) business days following the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer the documents and materials regarding the Property set forth on Exhibit "E" hereto, to the extent the same are in Seller's possession. In addition, during the Inspection Period and following at least forty-eight (48) hours' prior written notice from Buyer, Seller agrees to allow Buyer, its authorized agents or representatives, at Buyer's expense, to inspect at Seller's offices in Irvine, California, and make copies of any other documents and property records (other than the Excluded Documents, as defined below) relating exclusively to the Seller's ownership and operation of the Property, but only if and to the extent such documents and property records are in Seller's possession. All documents and property records delivered to, made available to, copied and/or reviewed by Buyer pursuant to this Section 3.2 (including the Leases and Contracts, if any) shall sometimes be referred to collectively herein as the "Documents". Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall have no obligation to make available to Buyer, and Buyer shall have no right to inspect or make copies of, any of the Excluded Documents. As used herein, "Excluded Documents" shall mean any documents involving either Seller's financing or refinancing of the Property, any purchase and escrow agreements and correspondence pertaining to Seller's -4- acquisition of the Property, any documents pertaining to the potential acquisition of the Property by any past or prospective purchasers, any third party purchase inquiries and correspondence, appraisals of the Property, internal budgets or financial projections, and any other internal documents. 3.2.2 Proprietary Information.

In permitting Buyer and the Permitted Outside Parties to review the Documents to assist Buyer, Seller has not waived any privilege or claim of confidentiality with respect thereto, and no third party benefits or relationships of any kind, either expressed or implied, have been offered, intended or created by Seller and any such claims are expressly rejected by Seller and waived by Buyer. 3.2.3 Return of Documents. Buyer shall return to Seller all of the Documents and any and all copies Buyer has made of the Documents, together with all of Buyer's Information not previously delivered to Seller, at such time as this Agreement is terminated for any reason, which obligation shall survive such termination. 3.2.4 No Representation or Warranty By Seller.

Buyer further acknowledges, confirms, and agrees that, except as expressly set forth in Section 5.6 of this Agreement: (i) neither Seller nor any of its partners, agents, employees or contractors has made any warranty or representation regarding the truth, accuracy or completeness of any of the Documents or the source(s) thereof, and Buyer has not relied on the truth or completeness of the Documents, and (ii) Seller has not undertaken any independent investigation as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Documents and is providing the Documents or making the Documents available to Buyer solely as an accommodation to Buyer. 3.3 Title. Promptly following Effective date, the Title Company shall deliver to Buyer: (i) a preliminary title report (the "PTR") for the Real Property, issued by the Title Company; and (ii) a photocopy of all documents ("Title Documents") describing all Schedule B title exceptions shown on the PTR. Buyer shall have until the last day of the Inspection Period to satisfy itself regarding the condition of title to the Property. Buyer's delivery of the Additional Deposit to the Escrow Holder shall conclusively be deemed to constitute Buyer's acceptance of all title matters relating to the Property, including, without limitation, all exceptions to title shown on the PTR and all matters (if any) disclosed by any survey prepared by or on behalf of Buyer, other than matters first appearing of record after the date of the PTR. Notwithstanding the preceding, but subject to the provisions set forth in Section 3.7 hereinbelow, at the Closing, Seller shall pay in full (or cause to be paid in full) all loans which (a) have been obtained by Seller, and (b) are recorded against the Property. 3.4 Inspection Obligations. 3.4.1 Buyer's Responsibilities. In conducting any investigations, inspections, tests and studies of the Property and/or Documents, Buyer and its agents and representatives shall: (i) comply with all terms of the Leases regarding entry rights and obligations of third parties and not disturb the tenants or interfere with their use of the Property pursuant to the Leases; (ii) not interfere with the operation, use and maintenance of the Property; (iii) not damage any part of the Property or any personal property owned or held by any -5- tenant or any third party; (iv) not injure or otherwise cause bodily harm to Seller or any of its partners, agents, contractors and employees, or any tenant or other third party; (v) maintain commercial general liability (occurrence) insurance in the amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) and on terms otherwise satisfactory to Seller covering any accident arising in connection with the presence of Buyer, its agents and representatives on the Real Property and shall deliver a certificate of insurance verifying such coverage to Seller prior to any entry upon the Real Property; (vi) promptly pay when due the costs of all tests, investigations, studies and examinations done with regard to the Property; (vii) not permit any liens to attach to the Property by reason of the exercise of its rights hereunder; (viii) fully restore the Real Property and Personal Property to the condition in which the same was found before any such inspections, tests or studies were undertaken; and (ix) not reveal or disclose any information obtained prior to Closing concerning the Property to anyone outside Buyer's organization except in accordance with the confidentiality standards set forth in Section 3.2 above. 3.4.2 Buyer's Indemnity. Buyer shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Seller and its agents, employees and contractors harmless from and against any and all liens, claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, expenses, causes of action and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising out of (i) Buyer's inspections, tests and/or studies of the Property and Documents, and/or (ii) any violation by Buyer of the provisions of this Section 3. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer's obligations and indemnity set forth in Section 3.2 and this Section 3.4 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement and shall not be merged with the Deed (as defined below) or any other Closing documents. 3.5 Additional Deposit Delivery; Termination. In the event that, on or prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Buyer elects to approve all matters relating to the Property, Buyer shall deliver the Additional Deposit to the Escrow Holder. Buyer's delivery of the Additional Deposit to the Escrow Holder shall be conclusive evidence of Buyer's approval of each and every aspect of the Property, including, without limitation, (a) the structural, physical and environmental condition of the Property, (b) all Property Leases and Contracts, (c) Buyer's financial analyses of the Property, and (d) all title and survey matters; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not release Seller from liability for the breach of any of the representations and/or warranties of Seller pursuant to Section 5.6 of this Agreement. If, however, Buyer shall fail to deliver the Additional Deposit to the Escrow Holder on or prior to the last day of the Inspection Period, then this Agreement and the Escrow shall automatically terminate. Upon such termination, neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any further obligation or liability to the other hereunder (except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement), and the Initial Deposit (plus all interest actually accrued thereon while held by Escrow Holder) shall be returned to Buyer. Upon Buyer's delivery of the Additional Deposit to Escrow, the entire Deposit shall become and remain non-refundable (except in the event of Seller's default hereunder). 3.6 Estoppel Certificates. Within five (5) days after the expiration of the Inspection Period, Seller shall forward an estoppel certificate to all Property tenants, substantially in the form of Exhibit "B" attached to this Agreement (or the agreed form of estoppel that is attached to a Property tenant's lease) containing information that is consistent with the information set forth in the applicable tenant lease, and thereafter use reasonable efforts to obtain, prior to the Closing Date, executed tenant estoppel certificates (the "Estoppel Certificates") from all of the then-current Property tenants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall Seller be in default hereunder for its failure to obtain all or any of the Estoppel Certificates, provided, however, that it shall be a condition precedent to Buyer's obligation to purchase the Property (which may be waived by Buyer) that prior to the Closing Date, Seller deliver to Buyer: (a) an executed Estoppel Certificate for tenants occupying not less than seventy (70%) of the inline rentable square footage of the Property; and (b) an executed Estoppel Certificate from eighty percent (80%) of the Major Anchor Tenants (defined as any tenant leasing 19,000 square feet or more of floor space on the Property) (the "Required Tenant Estoppels"). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that Seller has been unable to obtain (and deliver to -6- Buyer) the Required Tenant Estoppels at least five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, and Buyer is not willing to waive the Required Tenant Estoppel condition, then Seller shall have the right to delay the Closing Date by up to thirty (30) days in order to attempt to obtain the missing Required Tenant Estoppels. 3.7 Assumption of Greenwich Capital Loan. The Property is currently encumbered by a loan (the "Greenwich Capital Loan") from Greenwich Capital Finance Products, Inc., which has been assigned to LaSalle Bank National Association, as Trustee for the Registered Holders of Greenwich Capital Funding Corp., Commercial Mortgage Trust 2003-C1, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2003-C1 ("Existing Lender"), evidenced by a promissory note dated May 9, 2003 in the original principal amount of Ninety Two Million Dollars ($92,000,000.00) (the "Existing Note"), and secured by a Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement dated May 9, 2003 (the "Existing Deed of Trust"). The Existing Note, the Existing Deed of Trust and all other documents executed in connection with the Greenwich Capital Loan are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Greenwich Capital Loan Documents." Within twenty-four (24) hours of the Effective Date, Seller shall contact the Existing Lender and request the Existing Lender to start the approval process as quickly as possible. Promptly following mutual execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall apply to the Existing Lender for the assumption of the Greenwich Capital Loan with a release of Seller from any and all obligations under the Greenwich Capital Loan and the Existing Loan Documents, respectively, including any personal guarantees thereunder. Buyer shall diligently pursue and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain approval of the foregoing assignments, assumptions and releases. Buyer shall keep Seller informed, upon Seller's reasonable written request, as to the progress of the assignment of the Greenwich Loan process. Seller shall fully cooperate with the Existing Lender and Buyer to complete the approval process and shall promptly provide to Buyer and Existing Lender any documents or reports in Seller's possession requested by Existing Lender to review and grant such approval. Buyer shall provide Seller with written confirmation that the Existing Lender has approved the foregoing assignments, assumptions and releases within one (1) business day following receipt by Buyer of such approvals. In the event that Buyer and Existing Lender (or its loan servicer, as applicable) agree on assumption documents as set forth above, then on or prior to the date on which Buyer assumes the Greenwich Capital Loan, Buyer shall pay any assumption fee required by the Existing Lender (or the loan servicer), and Seller shall pay all other costs related to the proposed assumption, including all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Existing Lender and the loan servicer, which may include, without limitation, attorneys fees and title costs. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller and Buyer agree that Seller's obligation to pay the foregoing Existing Lender costs related to the proposed assumption, including all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Existing Lender and the loan servicer, shall not exceed the aggregate sum of Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) and Buyer shall pay any and all other such costs in excess of Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000). If Buyer fails to obtain Existing Lender's consent to Buyer's assumption of the Greenwich Capital Loan Documents or Buyer disapproves the assumption documents or the Greenwich Capital Loan Documents on or prior to twenty five (25) days following the end of the Inspection Period (the "Loan Assumption Date"), and provided that Buyer (i) is proceeding with good faith to obtain Existing Lender approval to the Buyer's assumption of the Greenwich Capital Loan, and (ii) has provided Seller (prior to the Loan Assumption Date) with a written status report of the progress Buyer has made toward obtaining loan assumption approval, Buyer shall have until thirty (30) days after the Loan Assumption Date (the "Outside Assumption Date") to obtain Existing Lender's consent to Buyer's assumption of the Greenwich Capital Loan Documents and the Closing Date shall be extended for thirty (30) days. However, if, despite using its commercially reasonable good faith efforts, Buyer fails to obtain Existing Lender's consent to Buyer's assumption of the Greenwich Capital Loan Documents or Buyer reasonably disapproves the assumption documents required by the Existing Lender on or prior to the Outside Assumption Date, this Agreement shall terminate automatically on the Outside Assumption Date, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder (except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement to the contrary). Buyer hereby specifically confirms and acknowledges that if the proposed assumption of the Greenwich Capital Loan is timely approved in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.7, but Buyer -7- fails to close the transaction prior to the Closing Date for any reason other than (x) Seller's default hereunder, or (y) Buyer's exercise of any other termination right specifically set forth in this Agreement, Buyer shall have no right to the return of the Deposit, which shall be immediately retained by Seller as liquidated damages (and Seller's sole and exclusive remedy) for Buyer's failure to perform under this Agreement. Seller's obligation to complete the sale of the Property to Buyer is expressly conditioned upon (a) Seller obtaining a full release (for all time periods from and after the Closing Date) from all obligations under the Greenwich Capital Loan Documents (including, without limitation, a release of any guarantor or indemnitor in connection therewith), and Seller shall not be obligated to sell the Property to Buyer unless Seller (and all guarantors and indemnitors) obtains such a release, and (b) Seller agreeing to and approving (in Seller's reasonable discretion) the terms and conditions of any documents required by the Existing Lender (and/or its servicer) to be executed by the Seller and/or the Seller's guarantors and/or indemnitors in connection with the sale of the Property and/or the assignment and assumption of the Greenwich Capital Loan Documents. In that regard, Buyer agrees that one or more financially responsible entities, principals or affiliates of Buyer acceptable to Lender shall execute and deliver all required substitute indemnities and guaranties if and to the extent the same is required by Lender in order to cause Seller and any existing indemnitors and guarantors to be released from all obligations relating to the existing Greenwich Capital Loan for all matters accruing from and after the Closing Date. If required by the Lender, the Buyer shall form one or more new single-purpose, single asset, bankruptcy remote entities for purposes of acquiring title to the Property. Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that neither party shall have any liability to the other in the event that the Lender does not consent to the Greenwich Capital Loan assumption (unless a party either (a) violated the provisions of this Section 3.7, or (b) did not act reasonably in connection with the proposed assignment and assumption). 3.8 Assignment and Assumption of Owner Participation Agreement. The Property is currently subject to an Owner Participation Agreement by and between the Industry Urban-Development Agency, a California redevelopment agency (the "Agency") dated July 5, 2000, as amended (the "OPA") pursuant to which the Agency agreed, among other covenants and conditions, to make a certain loan to a prior owner of the Property to assist with the redevelopment of the Property. Within twenty-four (24) hours of the Effective Date, Seller shall contact the Agency and request the Agency to start the approval process as quickly as possible. Promptly following mutual execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall apply to the Agency for the assumption of the OPA with a release of Seller from any and all obligations arising under the OPA from and after the Closing Date, including any personal guarantees thereunder. Buyer shall diligently pursue and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain approval of the foregoing assignments, assumptions and releases. Buyer shall keep Seller informed, upon Seller's reasonable written request, as to the progress of the assignment of the OPA process. Seller shall fully cooperate with the Agency and Buyer to complete the approval process and shall promptly provide to Buyer and Agency any documents or reports in Seller's possession requested by Agency to review and grant such approval. Buyer shall provide Seller with written confirmation that the Agency has approved the foregoing assignments, assumptions and releases within one (1) day following receipt by Buyer of such approvals. Seller agrees that Seller shall pay (i) any assumption fee required by the Agency, (ii) all costs related to the proposed assumption, (iii) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Agency, which may include, without limitation, attorneys fees and title costs, and (iv) all fees and/or costs required by the Agency to process and complete the OPA assumption (provided that Seller shall not be required to pay legal fees incurred by OPA in connection with Buyer's negotiation of the applicable assignment and assumption documents, which legal fees shall be borne by Buyer). -8- ARTICLE 4 --------- ESCROW AND CLOSING ------------------ 4.1 Opening. An escrow (the "Escrow") shall be opened with Escrow Holder by delivering a fully executed copy of this Agreement to Escrow Holder at the Escrow Holder's address specified in Section 1.5. Buyer and Seller also agree to execute (a) any additional or supplementary instructions as may be necessary to close the transaction contemplated hereby, and (b) Escrow Holder's standard or pre-printed escrow instructions, but only to the extent all of the same are consistent with this Agreement; provided however, any such additional, supplementary and/or pre-printed or standard instructions shall not supersede or conflict with this Agreement, and any such conflict shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement. 4.2 Closing Date.

In the event Seller fails to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement for any reason (except due to a failure of any condition set forth in this Agreement or any failure by Buyer to perform hereunder), then Buyer shall elect, as its sole remedy, either to: (i) terminate this Agreement by giving Seller and the Escrow Holder timely written notice of such election prior to or upon the Closing Date, in which case Buyer shall be entitled to a reimbursement of (a) the entire Deposit, and (b) its actual, documented out-of-pocket third parties costs incurred in connection with its proposed acquisition of the Property, up to a maximum of Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000); or (ii) provided that Buyer has previously tendered full performance of all of its obligations under this Agreement, enforce specific performance of this Agreement, in which event there shall be no reduction of the Purchase Price and Buyer shall not be entitled to recover any damages (whether actual, direct, indirect, consequential, punitive or otherwise) notwithstanding such failure or breach by Seller. Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (i) hereinabove if Buyer fails to deliver to Seller written notice of its intent to commence an action to assert a claim for specific performance against Seller within ninety days after the scheduled Closing Date, or having given such notice fails to commence such action asserting said claim within ninety (90) days after the date of such notice.

For the purposes of this Article 8, "Material Damage" shall mean damage to the Improvements which is of such nature that the cost of restoring the same to their condition prior to the Casualty will, in Seller's reasonable determination as provided in the Casualty Loss Notice, exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00). If, prior to the Closing, the Improvements sustain Material Damage by a Casualty, Buyer may terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller and Escrow Holder within the earlier of (i) five (5) business days after Buyer's receipt of the Casualty Loss Notice or (ii) the Closing Date. If the Improvements shall be damaged by a casualty which is not a Material Damage, or if Buyer fails to deliver written notice of termination within the time period set forth hereinabove for a Material Damage, then: (A) the parties shall proceed to close this transaction in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (B) at the Closing, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the deductible under Seller's casualty insurance policy; and (C) Seller shall, as part of the Intangible Property, assign to Buyer all of Seller's rights in the resulting casualty insurance proceeds; provided, however, that in no event shall the sum of such credit for the deductible and the amount of the insurance proceeds assigned to Buyer pursuant to clauses (B) and (C) hereinabove exceed the lesser of (1) the -19- Purchase Price or (2) the cost to complete the repair of the Casualty following the Closing. If Buyer elects (and has the right) to terminate this Agreement under this Article 8, the entire portion of the Deposit then held by Escrow Holder shall be returned to Buyer, and thereafter neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement.

Commercial Mortgage Trust 2003-C1, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2003-C1 Dated as of December 29, 2005 GUARANTY OF RECOURSE OBLIGATIONS This GUARANTY OF RECOURSE OBLIGATIONS (this "Guaranty"), dated as of December 29, 2005, made by GLIMCHER PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited partnership, having an address at 150 East Gay Street, Columbus, OH 43215 ("Replacement Guarantor"), in favor of LASALLE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Trustee for the Registered Holders of Greenwich Capital Funding Corp. Commercial Mortgage Trust 2003-C1, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2003-C1, whose mailing address is c/o Wachovia Securities, Commercial Real Estate Services, 8739 Research Drive-URP4, Charlotte, NC 28288-1075 (28262-1075 for overnight deliveries), Attn: Portfolio Manager (together with its successors and assigns, hereinafter referred to as "Lender"). R E C I T A L S: A. Pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement dated as of dated May 9, 2003 (as amended, modified, supplemented or replaced from time to time, the "Loan Agreement") between PASSCO PHM, LLC and PASSCO COLIMA, LLC (the "Passco Original Borrowers") and Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc. (the "Original Lender"), Original Lender made a loan (the "Loan") to the Passco Original Borrowers in the principal amount of $92,000,000, subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement; B. As a condition to Original Lender's making the Loan, Original Lender required that Passco Real Estate Enterprises, Inc., and William O. Passo (the "Passco Original Guarantors") execute and deliver a Guaranty of Recourse Obligations of even date with the Loan Agreement (the "Original Passco Guaranty"); C. As contemplated in Section 5.26.2 of the Loan Agreement, the Passco Original Borrowers transferred tenant-in-common interests to various "Borrowers" each of which assumed the Loan on a joint and several basis with the Passco Original Borrowers (collectively with the Passco Original Borrowers, the "Original Borrowers") D. As further contemplated in Section 5.26.2 of the Loan Agreement, Original Lender required that each TIC Owner (as defined in the Loan Agreement) execute a guaranty of recourse obligations (collectively with the Original Passco Guaranty, the "Original Guaranty Agreements") as contemplated in section 5.26.2 of the Loan Agreement (collectively with the Passco Original Guarantors, the "Original Guarantors"); E. Original Lender assigned, sold and transferred its interest in the Loan and all Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement) to Lender and Lender is the current holder of all of Original Lender's interest in the Loan and Loan Documents; F. As more particularly described in that certain Loan Assumption Agreement of even date herewith (the "Assumption Agreement"), Original Borrowers have transferred the Property (as defined in the Loan Agreement) to PUENTE HILLS MALL, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Assuming Borrower") and Assuming Borrower has agreed to assume the Loan and the obligations of Original Borrowers under the Loan Documents (the "Assumption"); -2- G. As a condition to granting its consent to the Assumption, Lender has required that Replacement Guarantor execute this Guaranty; and H. Replacement Guarantor acknowledges that it will materially benefit from Lender's agreeing to consent to the Assumption. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth herein and as an inducement for and in consideration of the agreement of Lender to make the Loan pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Replacement Guarantor hereby agrees, covenants, represents and warrants to Lender as follows: 1. Definitions. (a) All capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given such terms in the Loan Agreement, as amended by the Assumption Agreement. (b) The term "Guaranteed Obligations" means (i) Assuming Borrower's Recourse Liabilities (the "Recourse Liability Guaranteed Obligations") and (ii) from and after the date that any Springing Recourse Event occurs, payment of the Guaranteed Amount (and whether accrued prior to, on or after such date) (the "Springing Recourse Guaranteed Obligations"). (c) The term "Guaranteed Amount" means the amount for which Assuming Borrower is liable pursuant to Section 10.1(b) of the Loan Agreement. 2. Guaranty. (a) Replacement Guarantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Lender the full, prompt and complete payment when due of the Guaranteed Obligations. (b) All sums payable to Lender under this Guaranty shall be payable on demand and without reduction for any offset, claim, counterclaim or defense. (c) Replacement Guarantor hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless Lender from and against any and all costs, losses, liabilities, claims, causes of action, expenses and damages, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, which Lender may suffer or which otherwise may arise by reason of Assuming Borrower's failure to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when due, irrespective of whether such costs, losses, liabilities, claims, causes of action, expenses or damages are incurred by Lender prior or subsequent to (i) Lender's declaring the Principal, interest and other sums evidenced or secured by the Loan Documents to be due and payable, (ii) the commencement or completion of a judicial or non judicial foreclosure of the Mortgage or (iii) the conveyance of all or any portion of the Property by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. (d) Replacement Guarantor agrees that no portion of any sums applied (other than sums received from Replacement Guarantor in full or partial satisfaction of its obligations hereunder), from time to time, in reduction of the Debt shall be deemed to have been applied in reduction of the Guaranteed -3- Obligations until such time as the Debt has been paid in full, or Replacement Guarantor shall have made the full payment required hereunder, it being the intention hereof that the Guaranteed Obligations shall be the last portion of the Debt to be deemed satisfied. 3. Representations and Warranties. Replacement Guarantor hereby represents and warrants (as to itself) to Lender as follows (which representations and warranties shall be given as of the date hereof and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Guaranty): (a) Organization, Authority and Execution. Replacement Guarantor is a limited partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all necessary power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as presently conducted or proposed to be conducted and to enter into and perform this Guaranty and all other agreements and instruments to be executed by it in connection herewith. This Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by Replacement Guarantor. (b) Enforceability. This Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Replacement Guarantor, enforceable against Replacement Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally. (c) No Violation. The execution, delivery and performance by Replacement Guarantor of its obligations under this Guaranty has been duly authorized by all necessary action, and do not and will not violate any law, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental body, agency or other instrumentality applicable to Replacement Guarantor, or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any mortgage, lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the assets of Replacement Guarantor pursuant to the terms of Replacement Guarantor's organizational documents, or any mortgage, indenture, agreement or instrument to which Replacement Guarantor is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound. Replacement Guarantor is not in default under any other guaranty which it has provided to any of the Lender Parties (as defined in the Assumption Agreement). (d) No Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or at equity, pending or, to Replacement Guarantor's best knowledge, threatened against or affecting Replacement Guarantor or which involve or might involve the validity or enforceability of this Guaranty or which might materially adversely affect the financial condition of Replacement Guarantor or the ability of Replacement Guarantor to perform any of its obligations under this Guaranty. Replacement Guarantor is not in default beyond any applicable grace or cure period with respect to any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority which might materially adversely affect the financial condition of Replacement Guarantor or the ability of Replacement Guarantor to perform any of its obligations under this Guaranty. (e) Consents. All consents, approvals, orders or authorizations of, or registrations, declarations or filings with, all Governmental Authorities (collectively, the "Consents") that are required in connection with the valid execution, delivery and performance by Replacement Guarantor of this Guaranty -4- have been obtained and Replacement Guarantor agrees that all Consents required in connection with the carrying out or performance of any of Replacement Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty will be obtained when required. (f) Financial Statements and Other Information. All financial statements of Replacement Guarantor heretofore delivered to Lender are true and correct in all material respects and fairly present the financial condition of Replacement Guarantor as of the respective dates thereof, and no materially adverse change has occurred in the financial conditions reflected therein since the respective dates thereof. None of the aforesaid financial statements or any certificate or statement furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Replacement Guarantor in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and none of the representations and warranties in this Guaranty contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein or herein not misleading. Replacement Guarantor is not insolvent within the meaning of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law, code or regulation and the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty will not render Replacement Guarantor insolvent. (g) Consideration. Replacement Guarantor is the owner, directly or indirectly, of legal and beneficial equity interests in Assuming Borrower, and as such will materially benefit from Lender's consent to the Assumption. 4. Financial Statements. Replacement Indemnitor shall deliver to Lender, (a) within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of Replacement Indemnitor, a complete copy of Replacement Indemnitor's annual financial statements, (b) if requested by Lender, within 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Replacement Indemnitor, financial statements (including a balance sheet as of the end of such fiscal quarter and a statement of income and expense for such fiscal quarter) certified by Replacement Indemnitor and in form, content, level of detail and scope reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and (c) 20 days after request by Lender, such other financial information with respect to Replacement Indemnitor as Lender may reasonably request. 5. Unconditional Character of Obligations of Replacement Guarantor. (a) The obligations of Replacement Guarantor hereunder shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability, in whole or in part, of the other Loan Documents or any provision thereof, or the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against Assuming Borrower, Replacement Guarantor or any other Person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of the obligations of Assuming Borrower under the other Loan Documents or Replacement Guarantor under this Guaranty, or any setoff, counterclaim, and irrespective of any other circumstances which might otherwise limit recourse against Replacement Guarantor by Lender or constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety. Lender may enforce the obligations of Replacement Guarantor under this Guaranty by a proceeding at law, in equity or otherwise, independent of any loan foreclosure or similar proceeding or any deficiency action against Assuming Borrower or any other Person at any time, either before or after an action against the Property or any part thereof, Assuming Borrower or any other Person. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely a -5- guaranty of collection. Replacement Guarantor waives diligence, notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, filing of claims with any court, any proceeding to enforce any provision of any other Loan Document, against Replacement Guarantor, Assuming Borrower or any other Person, any right to require a proceeding first against Assuming Borrower or any other Person, or to exhaust any security (including, without limitation, the Property) for the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of Assuming Borrower or any other Person, or any protest, presentment, notice of default or other notice or demand whatsoever (except to the extent expressly provided to the contrary in this Guaranty). (b) The obligations of Replacement Guarantor under this Guaranty, and the rights of Lender to enforce the same by proceedings, whether by action at law, suit in equity or otherwise, shall not be in any way affected by any of the following: (i) any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, receivership, conservatorship, winding up or other similar proceeding involving or affecting Assuming Borrower, the Property or any part thereof, Replacement Guarantor or any other Person; (ii) any failure by Lender or any other Person, whether or not without fault on its part, to perform or comply with any of the terms of the Loan Agreement, or any other Loan Documents, or any document or instrument relating thereto; (iii) the sale, transfer or conveyance of the Property or any interest therein to any Person, whether now or hereafter having or acquiring an interest in the Property or any interest therein and whether or not pursuant to any foreclosure, trustee sale or similar proceeding against Assuming Borrower or the Property or any interest therein; (iv) the conveyance to Lender, any Affiliate of Lender or Lender's nominee of the Property or any interest therein by a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure; (v) the release of Assuming Borrower or any other Person from the performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents by operation of law or otherwise; or (vi) the release in whole or in part of any collateral for any or all Guaranteed Obligations or for the Loan or any portion thereof. (c) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Guaranty, Replacement Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably waives all defenses in an action brought by Lender to enforce this Guaranty based on claims of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise and all setoffs, reductions, or impairments, whether arising hereunder or otherwise. (d) Lender may deal with Assuming Borrower and Affiliates of Assuming Borrower in the same manner and as freely as if this Guaranty did not exist and shall be entitled, among other things, to grant Assuming Borrower or any other Person such extension or extensions of time to perform any act or acts as may be deemed advisable by Lender, at any time and from time to time, without -6- terminating, affecting or impairing the validity of this Guaranty or the obligations of Replacement Guarantor hereunder. (e) No compromise, alteration, amendment, modification, extension, renewal, release or other change of, or waiver, consent, delay, omission, failure to act or other action with respect to, any liability or obligation under or with respect to, or of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of, the Loan Documents shall in any way alter, impair or affect any of the obligations of Replacement Guarantor hereunder, and Replacement Guarantor agrees that if any Loan Documents are modified with Lender's consent, the Guaranteed Obligations shall automatically be deemed modified to include such modifications. (f) Lender may proceed to protect and enforce any or all of its rights under this Guaranty by suit in equity or action at law, whether for the specific performance of any covenants or agreements contained in this Guaranty or otherwise, or to take any action authorized or permitted under applicable law, and shall be entitled to require and enforce the performance of all acts and things required to be performed hereunder by Replacement Guarantor. Each and every remedy of Lender shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. (g) No waiver shall be deemed to have been made by Lender of any rights hereunder unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender, and any such waiver shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific matter involved and shall in no way impair the rights of Lender or the obligations of Replacement Guarantor to Lender in any other respect or at any other time. (h) At the option of Lender, Replacement Guarantor may be joined in any action or proceeding commenced by Lender against Assuming Borrower in connection with or based upon any other Loan Documents and recovery may be had against Replacement Guarantor in such action or proceeding or in any independent action or proceeding against Replacement Guarantor to the extent of Replacement Guarantor's liability hereunder, without any requirement that Lender first assert, prosecute or exhaust any remedy or claim against Assuming Borrower or any other Person, or any security for the obligations of Assuming Borrower or any other Person. (i) Replacement Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment is made by Assuming Borrower or Replacement Guarantor to Lender and such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Lender (as determined by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion) upon insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, receivership, conservatorship, winding up or other similar proceeding involving or affecting Assuming Borrower or Replacement Guarantor, all as though such payment had not been made. (j) In the event that Replacement Guarantor shall advance or become obligated to pay any sums under this Guaranty or in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or in the event that for any reason whatsoever Assuming Borrower or any subsequent owner of the Property or any part thereof is now, or shall hereafter become, indebted to Replacement Guarantor, Replacement Guarantor agrees that (i) the amount of such sums and of such indebtedness and all -7- interest thereon shall at all times be subordinate as to lien, the time of payment and in all other respects to all sums, including principal and interest and other amounts, at any time owed to Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) Replacement Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or receive payment thereof until all principal, Interest and other sums due pursuant to the Loan Documents have been paid in full. Nothing herein contained is intended or shall be construed to give Replacement Guarantor any right of subrogation in or under the Loan Documents or any right to participate in any way therein, or in the right, title or interest of Lender in or to any collateral for the Loan, notwithstanding any payments made by Replacement Guarantor under this Guaranty, until the actual and irrevocable receipt by Lender of payment in full of all principal, Interest and other sums due with respect to the Loan or otherwise payable under the Loan Documents. If any amount shall be paid to Replacement Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when any such sums due and owing to Lender shall not have been fully paid, such amount shall be paid by Replacement Guarantor to Lender for credit and application against such sums due and owing to Lender. (k) Replacement Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall survive a foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or similar proceeding involving the Property and the exercise by Lender of any of all of its remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents. 6. INTENTIONALLY DELETED. 7. Entire Agreement/Amendments. This instrument represents the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. The terms of this Guaranty shall not be waived, altered, modified, amended, supplemented or terminated in any manner whatsoever except by written instrument signed by Lender and Replacement Guarantor. 8. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon Replacement Guarantor, and Replacement Guarantor's estate, heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, may not be assigned or delegated by Replacement Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns. 9. Applicable Law and Consent to Jurisdiction. This Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the substantive laws of the State of California. Replacement Guarantor irrevocably (a) agrees that any suit, action or other legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty may be brought in a court of record in the City and County of Los Angeles or in the Courts of the United States of America located in the Southern District of California, (b) consents to the jurisdiction of each such court in any such suit, action or proceeding and (c) waives any objection which it may have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any of such courts and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Replacement Guarantor irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such suit, action or proceeding by service of copies of such process to Replacement Guarantor at its address provided in Section 14 hereof. Nothing in this Section 9, however, shall affect the right of Lender to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of Lender to bring any suit, action or proceeding against Replacement Guarantor or its property in the courts of any other jurisdictions. -8- 10. Section Headings. The headings of the sections and paragraphs of this Guaranty have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way define, modify, limit or amplify any of the terms or provisions hereof. 11. Severability. Any provision of this Guaranty which may be determined by any competent authority to be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Replacement Guarantor hereby waives any provision of law which renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect. 12. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. REPLACEMENT GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. 13. Other Guaranties. This Guaranty is in addition to any and all other guaranties relating to the Debt or any portion thereof. To the extent Replacement Guarantor may become liable under this Guaranty and one or more other guarantors may become liable under the terms of any other guaranty made in favor of Lender with respect to the Debt, Lender shall be entitled to exercise any and all of its remedies against Replacement Guarantor under this Guaranty as well any and all of its remedies against any one or more guarantors under such other guaranties jointly and severally. 14. Notices. All notices, consents, approvals and requests required or permitted hereunder (a "Notice") shall be given in writing and shall be effective for all purposes if either hand delivered with receipt acknowledged, or by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service (such as Federal Express), or by certified or registered United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or by facsimile and confirmed by facsimile answer back, in each case addressed as follows (or to such other address or Person as a party shall designate from time to time by notice to the other party): If to Lender: LaSalle Bank National Association, as Trustee for the Registered Holders of Greenwich Capital Funding Corp.

A notice shall be deemed to have been given: in the case of hand delivery, at the time of delivery; in the case of registered or certified mail, when delivered or the first attempted delivery on a Business Day; or in the case of overnight delivery, upon the first attempted delivery on a Business Day. 15. Replacement Guarantor's Receipt of Loan Documents. Replacement Guarantor by its execution hereof acknowledges receipt of true copies of all of the Loan Documents, the terms and conditions of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference. -9- 16. Interest; Expenses. (a) If Replacement Guarantor fails to pay all or any sums due hereunder upon demand by Lender, the amount of such sums payable by Replacement Guarantor to Lender shall bear interest from the date of demand until paid at the Default Rate in effect from time to time. (b) Replacement Guarantor hereby agrees to pay all costs, charges and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, that may be incurred by Lender in enforcing the covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of Replacement Guarantor under this Guaranty. 17. Special State Provisions. (a) Environmental Provisions. To the extent California law applies, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the right of Lender to recover in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736 (as such Section may be amended from time to time), any costs, expenses, liabilities or damages, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, incurred by Lender and arising from any covenant, obligation, liability, representation or warranty contained in any indemnity agreement given to Lender, or any order, consent decree or settlement relating to the cleanup of Hazardous Substances or any other "environmental provision" (as defined in such Section 736) relating to the Property or any portion thereof or the right of Lender to waive, in accordance with the California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5 (as such Section may be amended from time to time), the security of the Deed of Trust as to any parcel of the Trust Property that is "environmentally impaired" or is an "affected parcel" (as such terms are defined in such Section 726.5), and as to any personal property attached to such parcel, and thereafter to exercise against Assuming Borrower, to the extent permitted by such Section 726.5, the rights and remedies of any unsecured creditor, including reduction of Lender's claim against Assuming Borrower to judgment, and any other rights and remedies permitted by law. (b) Additional Replacement Guarantor Waivers. To the extent California law applies, Replacement Guarantor hereby waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for guaranteed obligations, has destroyed Replacement Guarantor's rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise. Specifically, and without in any way limiting the foregoing, Replacement Guarantor hereby waives any rights of subrogation, indemnification, contribution or reimbursement arising under Sections 2846, 2847, 2848 and 2849 of the California Civil Code or any right of recourse to or with respect to Assuming Borrower or the assets or property of Assuming Borrower or to any collateral for the Loan. In connection with the foregoing, Replacement Guarantor expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation against Assuming Borrower, and Replacement Guarantor hereby waives any rights to enforce any remedy which Lender may have against Assuming Borrower and any right to participate in any collateral for the Loan. Replacement Guarantor recognizes that, pursuant to Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure, Lender's realization through nonjudicial foreclosure upon any real property constituting security for Assuming Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents could terminate any right of Lender to recover a deficiency judgment against Assuming Borrower, thereby terminating subrogation rights which -10- such parties otherwise might have against Assuming Borrower. In the absence of an adequate waiver, such a termination of subrogation rights could create a defense to enforcement of this Agreement against such parties. Replacement Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any such defense. In addition to and without in any way limiting the foregoing, Replacement Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness of Assuming Borrower now or hereafter owed to Replacement Guarantor to all the indebtedness of Assuming Borrower to Lender and agrees with Lender that until such time as Lender may have no further claim against Assuming Borrower, Replacement Guarantor shall not demand or accept any payment of principal or interest from Assuming Borrower, claim any offset or other reduction of Replacement Guarantor's obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness and shall not take any action to obtain any of the collateral for the Loan. Further, Replacement Guarantor shall not have any right of recourse against Lender by reason of any action Lender may take or omit to take under the provisions of this Agreement or under the provisions of any of the Loan Documents. If any amount shall nevertheless be paid to Replacement Guarantor by Assuming Borrower or another guarantor prior to payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender and shall forthwith be paid to Lender to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive any satisfaction and discharge of Assuming Borrower by virtue of any payment, court order or any applicable law, except payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, Replacement Guarantor waives (i) all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to Replacement Guarantor by reason of California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive; (ii) any rights or defenses Replacement Guarantor may have with respect to its obligations as a guarantor by reason of any election of remedies by Lender; and (iii) all rights and defenses that Replacement Guarantor may have because Assuming Borrower's debt is secured by real property. This means, among other things, that Lender may collect from Replacement Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by Assuming Borrower, and that if Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by Assuming Borrower (A) the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (B) Lender may collect from Replacement Guarantor even if Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any rights Replacement Guarantor may have to collect from Assuming Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Replacement Guarantor may have because Borrower's debt evidenced by the Note is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 5806, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. 20. Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

(ii) Actions taken or approved by the Management Committee will be evidenced by a written resolution prepared within ten (10) Business Days of a meeting of the Management Committee by the Administering Member and approved in writing by the Committee Representatives who were present at such meeting and who adopted such resolutions. -25- (iii) Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Management Committee may be taken without a meeting if a written consent setting forth the action so taken is signed by the Committee Representatives whose approval is required to constitute the Required Committee Approval. In the event of any action which is taken, or is to be taken pursuant to a written consent and not pursuant to a vote at a duly called and authorized meeting of the Management Committee, the Administering Member shall endeavor, in good faith, to solicit input from all Committee Representatives prior to the execution by any Committee Representative of such written consent. Such consent may be in one instrument or in several instruments, and shall have the same force and effect as a vote of such Committee Representatives. An action so taken shall be deemed to have been taken at a meeting held on the effective date so certified. (iv) Each Committee Representative may authorize any other Committee Representative to act for him or her by proxy on all matters in which a Committee Representative is entitled to participate, including waiving notice of any meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting. Every proxy must be signed by the Committee Representative. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Committee Representative executing it, such revocation to be effective upon the Company's receipt of written notice thereof. (v) All reasonable travel expenses incurred by each of the Committee Representatives in connection with their service on the Management Committee shall be borne by the Company. 3.6 Sale of the Subject Subsidiary. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time from and after the end of the Property Lockout Period with respect to any Level 1 Subsidiary, Class B Member and Class A Member shall each have the right to commence the marketing of, and cause the sale of, all of the membership interests held by the Company ("shares") in such Level 1 Subsidiary (the "Subject Subsidiary", such selling Member being referred to herein as the "Triggering Member," and the non-selling Member being referred to herein as the "Non-Triggering Member"), without the approval or consent of the Non-Triggering Member, subject to the terms of this Section 3.6. (b) Prior to causing the sale of the shares of the Subject Subsidiary, the Triggering Member shall provide the Non-Triggering Member with a right to purchase the shares of such Subject Subsidiary for cash (the "Purchase Option") on and subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) The Triggering Member shall give written notice (the "Proposed Sale Notice") to the Non-Triggering Member setting forth the proposed purchase price (the "Purchase Price"). -26- (ii) The Non-Triggering Member shall have thirty (30) days (the "Election Period") after the delivery by the Triggering Member to the Non-Triggering Member of the Proposed Sale Notice to elect to exercise the Purchase Option with respect to the Subject Subsidiary (such election to be made, if at all, by giving written notice thereof (the "Exercise Notice") to the Triggering Member within the Election Period); it being agreed and understood that, during the Election Period, neither Class B Member nor Class A Member may give another Proposed Sale Notice with respect to the Subject Subsidiary; it being agreed and understood that in the event that a Member has delivered a Proposed Sale Notice and no sale is ultimately consummated pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.6 in connection with such Proposed Sale Notice issued by such Member, such Member shall not have the right to issue another Proposed Sale Notice with respect to the Subject Subsidiary hereunder for a period of six (6) months following the Marketing Period. (iii) If the Non-Triggering Member fails to exercise the Purchase Option, then, the Non-Triggering Member shall have no further right to purchase the shares of the Subject Subsidiary, except as may be expressly provided for below in this Section 3.6(b)(iii), and the Triggering Member shall have the right to cause the Company to enter into an agreement with customary representations, terms and conditions to sell, and to sell, the shares of the Subject Subsidiary to an independent third party ("Third Party Purchaser") at any time or times during a one hundred eighty (180) day period (such period, the "Marketing Period"; it being agreed and understood that the Triggering Member shall have the right to end the Marketing Period at any time prior to the end of such 180-day period upon notice to the Non-Triggering Member), which period shall commence on the earlier of (A) the first day after the Election Period expires and (B) the date on which the Non-Triggering Member notifies the Triggering Member that the Non-Triggering Member will not be exercising the Purchase Option, for aggregate cash consideration (the "Third-Party Purchase Price") which is not less than 100% of the Purchase Price (excluding any customary pro-rations to such consideration determined and effectuated as of the date of the closing of the sale of the shares of the Subject Subsidiary, transfer taxes and other closing costs payable by the Company or any brokerage commissions that would actually be payable to any third-party broker). If during the Marketing Period, the Company receives an offer that satisfies the conditions of this Section 3.6, except that the offer is for less than the Purchase Price, then the Triggering Member, if it wishes to accept such offer, shall so notify the Non-Triggering Member and give the Non-Triggering Member the option to purchase the shares of the Subject Subsidiary at the price indicated in such offer. Within fifteen (15) days -27- after receiving such notice (and, if such notice is given within fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the Marketing Period, the Marketing Period shall be extended day-by-day to give effect to the fifteen (15) day notice period of this sentence), the Non-Triggering Member shall have the right to deliver to the Triggering Member an Exercise Notice to purchase the shares of the Subject Subsidiary at the price indicated in the offer, and if such Exercise Notice is not timely delivered, the Triggering Member shall be permitted to sell the shares of the Subject Subsidiary to the third party at the price and on the terms specified in the third party offer. If no agreement is executed during the Marketing Period or an agreement is executed during the Marketing Period but the closing under such agreement does not occur within sixty (60) days after the end of the Marketing Period (the "Closing Period"), the Purchase Option will apply as to any sale of the shares of the Subject Subsidiary occurring after such sixty (60) day period. The Non-Triggering Member shall not have the right to approve, object or interfere with any sale under, and conforming to, this Section 3.6 irrespective of the terms of the sale (the Triggering Member being fully authorized and empowered to execute and deliver all necessary documents, agreements and instruments on behalf of the Company and to cause the Company to make representations and warranties as the Triggering Member determines); provided that the Non-Triggering Member shall have the right to approve any sale that is for consideration other than cash. In connection with the sale of the shares of the Subject Subsidiary under Section 3.6(a), (b) or (c), (i) the Members agree to cooperate fully and in good faith consummate the sale of the shares of the Subject Subsidiary and to deliver any materials reasonably requested by the potential purchaser (all of which shall be provided, to the extent reasonably available, within three (3) Business Days of request (or earlier if such earlier time period is reasonable)) and to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the sale of the shares of the Subject Subsidiary and (ii) the Members agree to cooperate fully and in good faith in the assumption by any potential purchaser of the Acquisition Financing and the Acquisition Loan Documents, including promptly delivering to Acquisition Lender any documents reasonably requested by Acquisition Lender and executing any documents or agreements reasonably required by Acquisition Lender in connection with any such assumption (to the extent such documents or agreements do not materially increase such party's liabilities or obligations). During the Marketing Period, none of the Members shall have the right to bid for the shares of the Subject Subsidiary. (iv) If the Non-Triggering Member exercises the Purchase Option within the Election Period, then such exercise shall be deemed to create a contract between the Non-Triggering Member, on one hand, and the Triggering Member on the other hand, pursuant to which the Non-Triggering Member irrevocably agrees to acquire the shares of the Subject Subsidiary for the Purchase Price, except that the closing date for such sale shall be thirty (30) days after the making of such election or such later date (not to exceed ninety (90) days in total) as reasonably required to obtain any necessary third-party consents, and the provisions of Section 3.6(b)(v) shall apply. (v) Simultaneously with the delivery of the Exercise Notice (and as a condition to the effectiveness of such Exercise Notice), the Non-Triggering Member shall deposit with the Triggering Member a deposit by certified or -28- cashier's check or wire transfer of immediately available federal funds in an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price (the "Deposit"). If the Non-Triggering Member fails to deliver the Deposit in the manner described above, then the Non-Triggering Member shall be deemed to have failed to exercise the Purchase Option and the Triggering Member may proceed in accordance with Section 3.6(b)(iii) above. The Deposit shall be non-refundable to the Non-Triggering Member in the event of a failure by the Non-Triggering Member to consummate the purchase of the shares of the Subject Subsidiary on the relevant closing date (other than solely by reason of a default by the Triggering Member), in which case the Triggering Member may terminate (or cause the termination of) the contract created by the Proposed Sale Notice and the Exercise Notice and the Triggering Member may (A) retain the Deposit as liquidated damages for the benefit and account of the Triggering Member only and (B) to sell at any time the shares of the Subject Subsidiary to any Person and on any terms as the Triggering Member may determine in its sole discretion, without any consent or approval of any other Member and without having to comply with any of the terms of this Section 3.6. The parties agree that damages to the Triggering Member will be difficult and impracticable to ascertain in connection with a default by the Non-Triggering Member under this Section 3.6 and the retention of the Deposit by the Triggering Member is a reasonable estimate of such damages from such default and shall not be considered a penalty. If the sale of the shares of the Subject Subsidiary fails to occur on the relevant closing date solely by reason of a default by the Triggering Member (other than as a result of any act or omission by the Non-Triggering Member), then, at the election of the Non-Triggering Member, (x) the contract created by the Proposed Sale Notice and the Exercise Notice shall be terminated and the Deposit shall be refunded to the Non-Triggering Member; or (y) the Non-Triggering Member may seek specific performance of such contract, but the Non-Triggering Member shall have no other rights or remedies by reason of such breach. If the closing of the sale of such shares to the Non-Triggering Member occurs, then the Deposit shall be applied towards the Purchase Price at closing. The Triggering Member shall, and shall cause the Company to, execute such instruments of transfer as are customarily executed and reasonably requested to evidence and consummate the transfer of the shares of the Subject Subsidiary to the Non-Triggering Member; provided, however, that such documents shall indicate that the sale of the shares of the Subject Subsidiary is on an "As-Is," "Where Is," "With-All-Faults" basis with no representations, warranties or indemnities whatsoever, other than representations to the effect that each of the relevant selling entities is duly organized and existing, that it is authorized and empowered to effect the sale, and, in the case of a sale of the shares of the Subject Subsidiary or of interests in the Company, a representation that such interests being transferred are free from any liens and encumbrances. (vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (x) the Triggering Member shall, subject to and in accordance with this Section 3.6, have full right, power and authority (acting alone and without the consent of any -29- other Member or the Management Committee) to execute, deliver and perform, for and in the name of the Company, any and all documents, agreements and instruments, and to take any other actions as may be required or desirable for the purpose of transferring the shares of the Subject Subsidiary to a Third Party Purchaser or the Non-Triggering Member, as the case may be, and (y) in the case of the sale of the shares of the Subject Subsidiary or the Property owned by such Subject Subsidiary to a Third Party Purchaser in accordance with this Section 3.6, any Management Agreement, and each other agreement with any Member (other than the Triggering Member) or any Affiliate of any Member (other than the Triggering Member) applicable to such Property shall immediately and automatically terminate without penalty upon such sale. (vii) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each party shall bear its own legal fees and expenses in connection with a sale under this Section 3.6, and the Triggering Member and the Non-Triggering Member (in the case of a sale pursuant to Section 3.6(b)(iv)) shall each indemnify the other against claims for brokers' fees and commissions. Unless otherwise provided in the offer from a Third Party Purchaser, the Company shall bear any debt repayment fees and, in the case of the sale of the Property owned by the Subject Subsidiary, either the Company or the purchaser shall bear any transfer taxes and other closing costs in accordance with local custom for properties similar to such Property. The Company shall pay all costs of marketing the shares of the Subject Subsidiary and any legal fees incurred as seller. (viii) Upon any sale pursuant to this Section 3.6, the Management Agreement relating to the Property owned by the Subject Subsidiary (or by any Subsidiary of the Subject Subsidiary) will automatically terminate without penalty. (c) At the option of Class B Member, if (i) there would be substantial savings achieved by structuring a sale of the Property owned by the Subject Subsidiary instead of a sale of the shares of the Subject Subsidiary and (ii) by structuring the sale as a sale of the Property owned by the Subject Subsidiary, then, Class B Member may elect to sell such Property, in which case all of the provisions of this Section 3.6 shall apply mutatis mutandis. (d) Without the consent of Class B Member, no Property may be sold (as opposed to a sale of shares) by the Administering Member. (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of a Default, Class B Member shall have the right to sell any shares in a Subsidiary or the Property owned by any Subsidiary without first providing Class A Member with a right to purchase the shares of such Subsidiary or such Property, as the -30- case may be, and Class A Member shall have no right to receive or exercise any purchase option with respect to such shares of such Subsidiary or such Property, as the case may be. (f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that Class B Member elects to remove Class A Member as Administering Member pursuant to a Change of Control of Class A Member (as provided in Section 3.2(d) herein), Class A Member shall have the right to (i) terminate the Lockout Period, (ii) terminate the Property Lockout Period and/or (iii) commence the sale of the Subject Subsidiary or the Subject Interest, as the case may be. ARTICLE 4. RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF MEMBERS ---------------------------- 4.1 Duties and Obligations of the Administering Member. (a) In addition to such duties as are described elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administering Member shall (i) prepare and deliver to the Management Committee (or cause to be prepared and delivered to the Management Committee) the Business Plan for each Budget Year, (ii) deliver to the Management Committee promptly upon its receipt, copies of all (x) summonses and complaints served on the Company, any of the Subsidiaries, or the Administering Member (as a Member of the Company) and (y) notices of default on any loan or other indebtedness of the Company or on any liens against any Property or Company Asset, (iii) monitor compliance by the Company and any Subsidiary with any loan agreements, mortgages, purchase agreements and other material agreements to which the Company or any Subsidiary is bound (and take appropriate steps to cure any non-compliance to the extent permitted under this Agreement or otherwise promptly notify the Management Committee of any non-compliance) and (iv) manage the Company, each Subsidiary, the Company Assets and the Subsidiary Assets with the same care as it would use if it owned the Company Assets and the Subsidiary Assets. (b) The Administering Member shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to file with the Ontario Superintendent of Financial Institutions (the "Superintendent") such documents, returns, reports, financial statements and other information and undertakings ("Filings") as and when directed by Class B Member. Class B Member assumes complete responsibility for determining the form and content of all Filings and for determining when and how such Filings shall be submitted, and shall bear the cost of preparing and filing the Filings and for any other costs that would not otherwise have been incurred were it not for the need to comply with the Filings. If the Administering Member timely submits all Filings as and when directed by Class B Member, it shall have no liability to Class B Member with respect to any deficiency in the Filings or any action by the Superintendent. -31- 4.2 Other Activities of Class A Member. (a) During the Exclusivity Period, Class A Member shall offer the Company or any Subsidiary, and the Company or such Subsidiary, shall have the exclusive right to acquire, all Prospective Acquisitions other than the exceptions noted in Section 4.2(b) below. Within ninety (90) days of the Effective Date, Class B Member intends to seek approval for authorization to commit up to $200,000,000 to Prospective Acquisitions (the "Equity Commitment"), it being understood, however, that Class B Member shall have the sole and absolute discretion to approve any Prospective Acquisition and the actual investment of such equity. An authorized representative of Class B Member shall provide Class A Member a certified resolution of the "Investment Committee" of The Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (of which Class B Member is a wholly-owned subsidiary) authorizing and approving the Equity Commitment. Upon the termination of the Exclusivity Period for any reason, any such Equity Commitment shall be terminable by Class B Member, in its sole and absolute discretion. With respect to any Prospective Acquisition, Class A Member shall submit to Class B Member an investment memorandum setting forth a description of such Prospective Acquisition, a pursuit budget and a preliminary pro forma business plan for such Prospective Acquisition and Class A Member's projected returns on such Prospective Acquisition and the percentage of the equity investment (not less than twenty five percent (25%)) that Class A Member intends to make in respect of such Prospective Acquisition (the "Proposal"). Class B Member has no obligation to approve any Proposal and may decline any Prospective Acquisition in its sole discretion. Within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of the Proposal, Class B Member will notify Class A Member if it is interested in pursuing the acquisition of the Prospective Acquisition and, if so, Class A Member and Class B Member shall jointly complete due diligence for the Prospective Acquisition. In the event that after completion of due diligence, Class B Member and Class A Member elect to invest in such Prospective Acquisition, Class B Member and Class A Member shall cause a Subsidiary to acquire such Prospective Acquisition and shall make Capital Contributions to the Company pursuant to the percentages stated in the Proposal as needed to permit the Subsidiary to acquire such Prospective Acquisition. In the event that Class B Member rejects or fails to accept a Proposal within five (5) Business Days after its receipt thereof, Class A Member shall have the right to proceed with such Prospective Acquisition and to seek equity and debt financing for such Prospective Acquisition from sources other than Class B Member, in which event, any expenses incurred by the Company in respect of such Prospective Acquisition shall be reimbursed by Class A Member. Any costs of due diligence for Prospective Acquisitions that are not completed by either Class A Member or Class B Member shall be borne equally by Class A Member and Class B Member. In no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries acquire a Property after the date that is the third anniversary of the Effective Date, except for the closing of acquisitions approved before such date. For the avoidance of doubt, if Class A Member does not make a preliminary bid on the Prospective Acquisition, Class B Member shall not be charged with rejecting or failing to accept the Proposal related to such Prospective Acquisition. -32- (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.2(a), Class A Member will not be obligated to offer the Company or any Subsidiary the opportunity to invest in (i) the property known as the Sherwood Mall located in Stockton, California, (ii) any assets being acquired by Class A Member in connection with a like-kind, tax-free exchange under Section 1031 of the Code and (iii) any assets being acquired in whole or in part through the issuance of operating partnership units in Class A Member. (c) If Class B Member rejects or fails to accept a Proposal during the Exclusivity Period and the Prospective Acquisition is within 10 miles (7.5 miles in a major metropolitan area having a population of 1,500,000 people or greater) of any Property owned by a Subsidiary, Class A Member or its Affiliates shall not be permitted to complete the purchase of the Prospective Acquisition if (i) the Prospective Acquisition is of the same property type as the Property currently owned and (ii) Class A Member or its Affiliates would own, directly or indirectly, a percentage interest in the Prospective Acquisition that is equal to or greater than the percentage interest that Class A Member or its Affiliates owns, directly or indirectly, in such Subsidiary. For the avoidance of doubt, a regional mall shall be considered the same property type as a super-regional mall, but a lifestyle center shall not be considered the same property type as a regional or super-regional mall. 4.3 Indemnification. (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Member shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Company, its Subsidiaries, or any third party or to any other Member for (i) any act performed within the scope of the authority conferred on such Member by this Agreement except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Member in carrying out its obligations hereunder or any act that is in breach of its fiduciary duties, (ii) such Member's failure or refusal to perform any act, except those required by the terms of this Agreement, (iii) such Member's performance of, or failure to perform, any act on the reasonable reliance on advice of legal counsel to the Company or its Subsidiaries or (iv) the negligence, dishonesty or bad faith of any agent, consultant or broker of the Company or its Subsidiaries selected, engaged or retained in good faith. (b) In any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, each Member and Member Indemnitee shall be fully protected and indemnified and held harmless by the Company and its Subsidiaries against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, costs of investigation, fines, judgments and amounts paid in settlement, actually incurred by such Member or Member Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding) by virtue of its status as Member or Member Indemnitee or with respect to any action or omission taken or suffered in good faith, other than liabilities and losses resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Member or Member Indemnitee. The indemnification provided by this Section 4.3 shall be recoverable only out of the assets of the Company, and no Member shall have any personal liability (or obligation to contribute capital to the Company) on account thereof. -33- (c) Each Member shall defend and indemnify the Company, the Subsidiaries and the other Members and Member Indemnitees against, and shall hold it and them harmless from, any damage, loss, liability, or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, as and when incurred by the Company, the Subsidiaries or the other Members in connection with or resulting from such indemnifying Member's gross negligence, malfeasance, fraud or willful misconduct. 4.4 Dealing with Members. (a) Subject to paragraph (b) below, the fact that a Member, an Affiliate of a Member, or any officer, director, employee, partner, consultant or agent of a Member, is directly or indirectly interested in or connected with any Person retained by the Company or its Subsidiaries to render or perform a service, or from or to whom the Company may buy or sell any property or have other business dealings, shall not prohibit a Member from employing such Person or from dealing with such Person on customary terms and at competitive rates of compensation which prevail in the marketplace with unrelated third parties, and none of the Company, the Subsidiaries or any of the other Members shall have any right in or to any income or profits derived therefrom by reason of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Member employing the services of such Person shall disclose the nature of the related party activity to the other Members. The foregoing is not intended to modify the restrictions on the authority of the Administering Member under Article III. (b) None of the Members or any of their respective Affiliates, shall be entitled to compensation from the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with any matter that may be undertaken in connection with the fulfillment of its duties and responsibilities hereunder, except as provided in this Section 4.4, or as set forth in an approved Business Plan. (c) Except as provided in this Section 4.4 or in Section 3.6, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not employ to render or perform a service, buy or sell any property from or to, or have any other business dealings with, any Person who is an Affiliate of any Member. 4.5 Use of Company Assets and Subsidiary Assets. No Member shall make use of the funds or Company Assets or Subsidiary Assets, or assign its rights to specific Company Assets or Subsidiary Assets, other than for the business or benefit of the Company and its Subsidiaries . 4.6 Designation of Tax Matters Member. (a) Class A Member shall act as the "tax matters partner" of the Company, as provided in the regulations pursuant to Section 6231 of the Code, and shall make and determine, with the consent of Class B Member which consent shall not -34- be unreasonably withheld and shall be deemed given if not denied within ten (10) Business Days of a request therefor accompanied by relevant materials, all elections with respect to the Code and Treasury Regulations issued thereunder. As tax matters partner, Class A Member is authorized and required to represent the Company (at the Company's expense) in connection with all examinations of the Company's affairs by tax authorities, and to expend Company funds for professional services and costs associated therewith. Class A Member shall provide all notices and perform all acts required of a tax matters partner under Subchapters C of Chapter 63 of the Code. Class A Member is authorized to take any action to comply with the requirements of Code Sections 1441, 1442, 1445 or 1446 with respect to withholding certain amounts with respect to payments or distributions to a Member who is not a U.S. person (as defined in Code Section 7701) or withholding of certain amounts with respect to the sale of a "United States real property interest" (as defined in Code Section 897), but in each case, not without the consent of Class B Member, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Each Member hereby reserves all rights under applicable law, including the right to retain independent counsel or consultant of its choice at its expense (which counsel or consultant shall receive the full cooperation of Class A Member and shall be entitled to prior review of submissions by the Company in respect of any dispute with relevant taxing authorities). (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.6(a), Class A Member, in its capacity as tax matters partner, agrees that for all purposes, including its obligation to cause the Company to withhold under Code Section 1441, 1442, 1445 and 1446, it will (i) treat Class B Member as being exempt from federal income tax under Section 892 of the Code with respect to all distributions made to Class B Member and (ii) treat each Level 1 Subsidiary as a "domestically controlled REIT" for purposes of Section 897(h)(3) of the Code, provided that each of the partners of Class A Member are United States Persons, as defined in Section 7701 of the Code; provided, that if Class A Member receives an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel reasonably acceptable to Class B Member to the effect that, based on a change in law or fact after the date hereof, it should or must withhold under the preceding Code Sections, then it may withhold pursuant to such Code Sections notwithstanding the preceding. (c) Class B Member shall indemnify the Company and/or Class A Member or its Affiliates for any tax, interest and penalties that are imposed upon them solely because the Company failed to withhold taxes from distributions made to Class B Member in accordance with Section 4.6(b) of this Agreement.

With respect to all or any portion of such proposed Annual Budget or Business Plan as to which no Objection Notice is delivered prior to such twentieth (20th) day (or such longer period as Class B Member may have reasonably requested), the proposed Annual Budget or Business Plan or such portion thereof will be deemed to have been accepted and consented to by the Management Committee. If the Objection Notice is timely delivered, the Administering Member shall modify the proposed Annual Budget or Business Plan, taking into account the objections of all Committee Representatives, and shall resubmit the same to the Management Committee for the Management Committee's approval within fifteen (15) days thereafter, and Committee Representatives may deliver further Objection Notices (if any) within fifteen (15) days thereafter (in which event, the re-submission and review process described above in this sentence shall continue until the Annual Budget or Business Plan in question is accepted and consented to by the Management Committee or deemed to be so accepted and consented to). As to any portion of a proposed Annual Budget or Business Plan that is the subject of an Objection Notice, the Annual Budget or Business Plan (as the case may be) for the immediately preceding year shall be deemed to control (with actual increases for non-discretionary expenses) pending resolution of the disputed items. 5.4 Accounting Expenses.

(a) The Management Committee may, at any time or times, require all Members, and each Member hereby agrees, to make additional cash Capital Contributions to the Company that the Management Committee determines in good faith are necessary (i) to fund any Required Expenditure, (ii) to develop, operate, maintain, preserve, market or protect any of the Properties, including, without limitation, real estate taxes, operating deficits, insurance premiums, costs of restoring any of the Properties after a casualty or condemnation thereof, utility costs, costs of compliance with law, payments with respect to the Acquisition Financing or any refinancing thereof or other mortgages and other liens, and payments on or of contractual obligations of the Company (including any fees due and payable to the Manager pursuant to any Management Agreement) or (iii) otherwise to conduct the business of the Company as the Management Committee deems appropriate, in each case, the event Available Cash Flow are not sufficient to pay for such cost or expense. (b) The Management Committee shall notify all of the Members of any capital call made pursuant to Section 6.2(a), and any such calls for additional Cash Capital contributions of the Members shall be in writing to all of the Members, shall provide for at least thirty (30) days' advance notice before the contributions are payable and, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be apportioned among the Members pro rata based on each Member's Percentage Interest (each such call, a "Capital Call"). (c) If any Member shall fail to make a Capital Contribution required pursuant to any Capital Call in the amount and within the time periods specified therein (such Member is hereinafter referred to as a "Non-Contributing Member"), the Administrative Member (or, if the Administrative Member is the Non-Contributing Member, Class B Member) shall give notice of such failure to -38- all other Members and the amount of the Capital Contribution not funded by the Non-Contributing Member (such amount is hereinafter referred to as the "Failed Contribution") and, within ten (10) Business Days after receiving notice of such failure, any Member or Members that is or are not in default with respect to such Capital Call may fund all or part of such Failed Contribution (each such funding Member is hereinafter referred to as a "Contributing Member"). If more than one Member desires to be a Contributing Member, each such Member shall have the right to fund its pro rata share such Failed Contribution determined based on the relative Percentage Interests of the Contributing Members. At any time after funding all or part of a Failed Contribution, any Contributing Member may elect to treat the portion of the Failed Contribution funded by it (the "Funded Portion") either as a Member Loan as described in Section 6.2(d) below or as a Company Loan as described in Section 6.2(e) below. (d) A Contributing Member may elect to treat and deem any Funded Portion as a loan (a "Member Loan") by such Contributing Member to the Non-Contributing Member (or the Non-Contributing Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests), which Member Loan shall be treated as (i) a demand loan made by the Contributing Member to the Non-Contributing Member(s) (bearing interest at a rate of twenty percent (20%) per annum, compounded quarterly to the extent not paid currently) followed by (ii) a Capital Contribution by such Non-Contributing Member(s) to the Company. Any such Member Loan (to the extent of unpaid principal and interest) shall be recourse only to the Non-Contributing Member's Interest and shall be repaid directly by the Company on behalf of the Non-Contributing Member from Available Cash Flow or the proceeds of liquidation that would otherwise be distributable to the Non-Contributing Member, prior to any distribution thereof pursuant to Sections 8.1 or 10.3 hereof. Any Available Cash Flow or proceeds of liquidation used to repay such Member Loan shall be applied first to interest and then to principal. (e) If a Contributing Member does not make an affirmative election under paragraph (d) above, the Contributing Member will be deemed to have elected to make a demand loan to the Company (a "Company Loan") in the amount equal to the Funded Portion funded by it, unless the existence of a Company Loan would violate the terms of any third party loan documents, in which case the Contributing Member will be deemed to have made a Member Loan. A Company Loan will bear interest at a rate of twenty percent (20%) per annum, compounded quarterly to the extent not paid currently and will be repaid to the Contributing Member from distributions otherwise distributable to the Members before any other distributions are made to any Member. Any payments made by the Company on such Company Loans shall be applied first to interest and then to principal and shall not be deemed a distribution from the Company to the Contributing Member nor affect the Capital Accounts of the Members. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Members hereby acknowledge that any Company Loan shall be subordinate in all respects to any Acquisition Financing. -39- 6.3 Capital of the Company. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no Member shall be entitled to withdraw or receive any interest or other return on, or return of, all or any part of its Capital Contribution, or to receive any Company property (other than cash) in return for its Capital Contribution. No Member shall be entitled to make a Capital Contribution to the Company except as expressly authorized by the Agreement. 6.4 Limited Liability of Members. No Member shall be bound by, or be personally liable for, the expenses, liabilities, indebtedness or obligations of the Company or of the other Members. ARTICLE 7. CAPITAL ACCOUNTS, PROFITS AND LOSSES AND ALLOCATIONS ---------------------------------------------------- 7.1 Capital Accounts. (a) The Company shall maintain a Capital Account for each Member in accordance with federal income tax accounting principles. Each Member's Capital Account as of the Effective Date will be equal to its Initial Capital Contribution as set forth on Schedule 2 plus its share of Organizational and Syndication Expenses. Class A Member shall not receive any Capital Account credit for the contribution of the Purchase Agreement to the Initial Subsidiary. (b) The Capital Account of each Member shall be increased by (i) the amount of any cash and the agreed Book Value of any property (net of liabilities encumbering such property) as of the date of contribution subsequently contributed as a Capital Contribution to the capital of the Company by such Member, (ii) the amount of any Profits allocated to such Member and (iii) such Member's pro rata share (determined in the same manner as such Member's share of Profits pursuant to Section 7.2) of income of the Company that is exempt from tax. The Capital Account of each Member shall be decreased by (i) the amount of any Losses allocated to such Member, (ii) the amount of distributions to such Member and (iii) such Member's pro rata share (determined in the same manner as such Member's share of Losses pursuant to Section 7.2) of any other expenditures of the Company that are not deductible in computing Company Profits or Losses and which are not chargeable to the Capital Account. In all respects, the Member's Capital Accounts shall be determined in accordance with the detailed capital accounting rules set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and shall be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events as provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f). (c) A transferee of all (or a portion) of an Interest shall succeed to the Capital Account (or portion of the Capital Account) attributable to the transferred Interest. -40- 7.2 Profits and Losses. (a) The profits and losses of the Company ("Profits" and "Losses") shall be the net income or net loss (including capital gains and losses), respectively, of the Company determined for each Fiscal Year in accordance with the accounting method followed for federal income tax purposes except that (i) in computing Profits and Losses, all depreciation and cost recovery deductions shall be deemed equal to Depreciation and (ii) in computing Profits and Losses, gains or losses shall be determined by reference to Book Value rather than tax basis. (b) Whenever a proportionate part of the Profits or Losses is allocated to a Member, every item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit entering into the computation of such Profits or Losses or arising from the transactions with respect to which such Profits or Losses were realized shall be credited or charged, as the case may be, to such Member in the same proportion; provided, however, that "recapture income", if any, shall be allocated to the Members who were allocated the corresponding depreciation deductions. (c) If any Member transfers all or any part of its Interest during any Fiscal Year or its Interest is increased or decreased, Profits and Losses attributable to such Interest for such Fiscal Year shall be apportioned between the transferor and transferee or computed as to such Members, as the case may be, ratably on a daily basis, provided in all events that any apportionment described above shall be permissible under the Code and applicable regulations thereunder. (d) For all purposes, including federal, state and local income tax purposes, Profits shall be allocated each year among all the Members as follows: (i) First, pro rata among all the Members in proportion to the amounts allocated and previously allocated pursuant to Section 7.2(e)(iii) hereof until the amount allocated and previously allocated pursuant to this Section 7.2(d)(i) equals the amount allocated and previously allocated pursuant to Section 7.2(e)(iii) hereof; (ii) Second, to all the Members in proportion to the amounts distributable and previously distributed pursuant to Sections 8.1(b)(i) and (c)(ii) hereof (including amounts that would be distributable (x) on a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company Assets, notwithstanding that such proceeds will be distributed pursuant to Article 10 hereof or (y) if the Company had received and distributed the full amount of cash attributable to the income being allocated) until the amount allocated and previously allocated pursuant to this Section 7.2(d)(ii) (and not reversed by Section 7.2(e)(ii) hereof) equals such distributable or distributed amounts; (iii) Thereafter, to all of the Members in proportion to the amounts distributable and previously distributed pursuant to Sections 8.1(b)(ii) and (c)(iii) hereof (including amounts that would be distributable (x) on a -41- sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company Assets, notwithstanding that such proceeds will be distributed pursuant to Article 10 hereof or (y) if the Company had received and distributed the full amount of cash attributable to the income being allocated). (e) For all purposes, including federal, state and local income tax purposes, Losses shall be allocated each year among all the Members as follows: (i) First, among all the Members in proportion to the amounts allocated and previously allocated pursuant to Section 7.2(d)(iii) hereof until the amounts allocated and previously allocated pursuant to this Section 7.2(e)(i) equals the amount allocated and previously allocated pursuant to Section 7.2(d)(iii); (ii) Second, among all the Members in proportion to the amounts allocated and previously allocated pursuant to Section 7.2(d)(ii) hereof until the amounts allocated and previously allocated pursuant to this Section 7.2(e)(ii) equals the amounts allocated and previously allocated pursuant to Section 7.2(d)(ii) hereof; and (iii) Thereafter, pro rata among all the Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests. (f) Notwithstanding Sections 7.2(d) and (e) hereof, (i) For federal income tax purposes but not for purposes of crediting or charging Capital Accounts, depreciation or gain or loss realized by the Company with respect to any property that was contributed to the Company or that was held by the Company at a time when the Book Value of the Company Assets was adjusted pursuant to the third sentence of Section 7.1(b) shall, in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(d) and (f), be allocated among the Members in a manner which takes into account the differences between the adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes to the Company of its interest in such property and the fair market value of such interest at the time of its contribution or revaluation. (ii) If there is a net decrease in the Minimum Gain of the Company during a taxable year (including any Minimum Gain attributable to Member-Funded Debt), each Member at the end of such year shall be allocated, prior to any other allocations required under this Article 7, items of gross income for such year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) in the amount and proportions described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(4). (iii) Notwithstanding the allocations provided for in Sections 7.2(d) and (e) no allocation of an item of loss or deduction shall be made to a Member to the extent such allocation would cause or increase a deficit -42- balance in such Member's Capital Account as of the end of the taxable year to which such allocation relates. If any Member receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution that causes or increases such a deficit balance, taking into account the rules of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6), such Member shall be allocated (after taking into account any allocations made pursuant to Section 7.2(f)(ii)) items of income and gain in an amount and manner to eliminate the Member's Capital Account deficit attributable to such adjustment, allocation or distribution as quickly as possible. For purposes of this Section 7.2(f)(iii), there shall be excluded from a Member's deficit Capital Account balance at the end of a taxable year of the Company (a) such Member's share, determined in accordance with Section 704(b) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g) of Minimum Gain (provided that in the case of Minimum Gain attributable to Member-Funded Debt, such Minimum Gain shall be allocated to the Member or Members to whom such debt is attributable pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)) and (b) the amount, if any, that such Member is obligated to restore to the Company under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c). (iv) Notwithstanding the allocations provided for in subsection (i) of this Section 7.2(f) and Sections 7.2(d) and (e), if there is a net increase in Minimum Gain of the Company during a taxable year of the Company that is attributable to Member-Funded Debt then first Depreciation, to the extent the increase in such Minimum Gain is allocable to depreciable property, and then a proportionate part of other deductions and expenditures described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code, shall be allocated to the lending or guaranteeing Member (and to joint lenders or guarantors in proportion to their relative obligations), provided that the total amount of deductions so allocated for any year shall not exceed the increase in Minimum Gain attributable to such Member-Funded Debt in such year. (v) Any special allocation under Sections 7.2(f)(ii) through (iv) shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations of Profits and Losses of any item thereof pursuant to this Article 7 so that the net amount of any items so allocated and the Profits, Losses and all items thereof allocated to each Member pursuant to this Article 7 shall, to the extent permissible under Sections 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each Member pursuant to this Article 7 if such special allocation had not occurred. (vi) The Members intend that the allocations provided for in this Article 7 be interpreted to the extent permissible under Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, to produce liquidating distributions pursuant to Section 10.3(4) hereof that do not differ from the distributions that would have been made had liquidating distributions been controlled by Article 8 hereof. -43- ARTICLE 8. APPLICATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS OF AVAILABLE CASH ------------------------------------------------ 8.1 Applications and Distributions. (a) Distributions of Available Cash Flow shall be made to the Members by the Administering Member in accordance with Section 8.1(b) monthly, subject to the terms of any Company Loan. (b) Available Cash Flow shall be applied first to the Members with Company Loans outstanding pro rata in proportion to the relative principal amounts of Company Loans (including accrued and unpaid interest) that each such Member has outstanding as a percentage of the total outstanding Company Loans made by all Members, to pay the full principal balance of, and any accrued interest on, the Company Loans, and then any remaining amounts of Available Cash Flow for any Fiscal Year shall be distributed to the Members in the following order of priority: (i) First, to all of the Members (pro rata in proportion to their relative Percentage Interests) until each Member has received, taking into account the amount and timing of all prior distributions under this Section 8.1(b)(i) in respect of the current and all prior Fiscal Years, a return on all of its Capital Contributions equal to ten percent (10%) per annum, compounded quarterly; and (ii) Second, so long as a Default has not occurred, (i)(x) eighty percent (80%) to the Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests and (y) twenty percent (20%) to the Administering Member, or (ii) if a Default has occurred, one hundred percent (100%) to the Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. (c) Capital Event Proceeds shall be applied first to the Members with Company Loans outstanding pro rata in proportion to the relative principal amounts of Company Loans (including accrued and unpaid interest) that each such Member has outstanding as a percentage of the total outstanding Company Loans made by all Members, to pay the full principal balance of, and any accrued interest on, the Company Loans, and then any remaining amounts of Capital Event Proceeds shall be distributed in accordance with the following order of priority: (i) First, to all of the Members (pro rata in proportion to the unreturned amount of Capital Contributions) until each of the Members has received all Capital Contributions made hereunder and not previously returned to such Member; -44- (ii) Second, one hundred percent (100%) to all of the Members (pro rata in proportion to their relative Percentage Interests) until each Member has received, taking into account the amount and timing of all prior distributions, an Internal Rate of Return on all of its Capital Contributions equal to twelve percent (12%), compounded quarterly; and (iii) Third, so long as a Default has not occurred, (i)(x) seventy-five percent (75%) to the Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests and (y) twenty percent (25%) to the Administering Member, or (ii) if a Default has occurred, one hundred percent (100%) to the Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. (d) If amounts in respect of sub-clause (y) of Section 8.1(c)(iii) have previously been distributed to Administering Member in respect of any Property and, subsequently, by reason of the contribution of additional capital in respect of such Property, the amounts previously distributed in respect of clause (y) of Section 8.1(c)(iii) exceed the amount Administering Member would have been entitled to receive as of such subsequent date if the ordering of the distributions to, and the contributions by, the Members were disregarded, then the parties hereto shall make appropriate adjustments to the future amounts to be distributed to them (and any future distributions to be made to Administering Member pursuant to sub-clause (y) of Section 8.1(c)(iii) shall be adjusted to the extent necessary so that the aggregate amounts distributed to Administering Member on account of all payments in respect of sub-clause (y) of Section 8.1(c)(iii) do not exceed the amount of payments Administering Member would be entitled to receive in respect of sub-clause (y) of Section 8.1(c)(iii) as of such subsequent date if the ordering of the distributions to, and the contributions by, the Members were disregarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, once a Property or a Subsidiary has been sold, no adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) in respect of distributions previously made pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(iii)(y) attributable to such Property or a Subsidiary. In no event shall Administering Member be required to return any distributions received from the Company. 8.2 Liquidation. In the event of the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company Assets, the Company shall be dissolved and the proceeds of such sale or other disposition shall be distributed to the Members in liquidation as provided in Article 10, except that to the extent that the Company receives a purchase money note or notes in exchange for all or a portion of such assets, the Company shall continue until such purchase money note or notes have been paid in full. 8.3 Repayment of Member Loans. If any Member shall be a borrower under one or more Member Loans (a "Debtor Member"), then any distributions that would otherwise be payable to such Debtor Member pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 10.3 shall instead be paid to the Member or Members that made such Member Loans (each, a "Lender Member") until the Lender Member has received the principal balance of, and any accrued interest on the Member Loan; it being agreed that amounts shall be applied first to interest and then to principal. In the event -45- there are two or more Lender Members with respect to any Debtor Member, distributions under this Section 8.3 or Section 10.3 shall be made pro rata to each Lender Member in proportion to the relative principal amount of Member Loans (including accrued and unpaid interest) that such Lender Member has outstanding as a percentage of total outstanding Member Loans made to such Debtor Member by all Lender Members. Any amounts distributed pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall for all other purposes of this Agreement be treated as if distributed to the Debtor Member. ARTICLE 9. TRANSFER OF COMPANY INTERESTS ----------------------------- 9.1 Limitations on Assignments of Interests by Members. (a) No Member shall engage in or permit any Transfer of their Interest unless and then only to the extent expressly permitted in this Article 9 at any time during the Lockout Period. Any purported Transfer in violation of this Article 9 shall be void, and shall not bind the Company, and the Member making such purported Transfer shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold the Company and the other Members harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, arising as a result of, or caused directly or indirectly by, such purported Transfer. 9.2 First Offer Right on Interests. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, at any time from and after the end of the Lockout Period, Class B Member and Class A Member shall each have the right to commence the marketing of, and cause the sale of, all (but not less than all) of its Interest in the Company (such Interest, the "Subject Interest", such selling Member being referred to herein as the "Transferring Member," and the non-selling Member being referred to herein as the "Responding Member"), without the approval or consent of the Responding Member, subject to the terms of this Section 9.2. (b) Prior to causing the sale of the Subject Interest, the Transferring Member shall provide the Responding Member with a right to purchase the Subject Interest for cash (the "Interest Purchase Option") on and subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) The Transferring Member shall give written notice (the "Proposed Interest Sale Notice") to the Responding Member setting forth the proposed purchase price (the "Interest Purchase Price"). -46- (ii) The Responding Member shall have thirty (30) days (the "Acceptance Period") after the delivery by the Transferring Member to the Responding Member of the Proposed Interest Sale Notice to elect to exercise the Interest Purchase Option with respect to the Subject Interest (such election to be made, if at all, by giving written notice thereof (the "Acceptance Notice") to the Transferring Member within the Acceptance Period); it being agreed and understood that, during the Acceptance Period, neither Class B Member nor Class A Member may give another Proposed Interest Sale Notice; it being agreed and understood that in the event that a Member has delivered a Proposed Interest Sale Notice and no sale is ultimately consummated pursuant to the terms of this Section 9.2 in connection with such Proposed Interest Sale Notice issued by such Member, such Member shall not have the right to issue another Proposed Interest Sale Notice hereunder for a period of six (6) months following the Interest Marketing Period. (iii) If the Responding Member fails to exercise the Interest Purchase Option, then, the Responding Member shall have no further right to purchase the Subject Interest, except as may be expressly provided for below in this Section 9.2(b)(iii), and the Transferring Member shall have the right to sell the Subject Interest to an independent third party ("Interest Purchaser") at any time or times during a one hundred eighty (180) day period (such period, the "Interest Marketing Period"; it being agreed and understood that the Transferring Member shall have the right to end the Interest Marketing Period at any time prior to the end of such 180-day period upon notice to the Responding Member), which period shall commence on the earlier of (A) the first day after the Acceptance Period expires and (B) the date on which the Responding Member notifies the Transferring Member that the Responding Member will not be exercising the Interest Purchase Option, for aggregate consideration (the "Third-Party Interest Purchase Price") which is not less than 100% of the Interest Purchase Price (excluding any customary pro-rations to such consideration determined and effectuated as of the date of the closing of the sale of the Subject Interest, transfer taxes and other closing costs payable by the Company or any brokerage commissions that would actually be payable to any third-party broker). If during the Interest Marketing Period, the Company receives an offer that satisfies the conditions of this Section 9.2, except that the offer is for less than the Interest Purchase Price, then the Transferring Member, if it wishes to accept such offer, shall so notify the Responding Member and give the Responding Member the option to purchase the Subject Interest at the price indicated in such offer. Within fifteen (15) days after receiving such notice (and, if such notice is given within fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the Interest Marketing Period, the Interest Marketing Period shall be extended day-by-day to give effect to the fifteen (15) day notice period of this sentence), the Responding Member shall have the right to deliver to the Transferring Member an Acceptance Notice to purchase the Subject Interest at the price indicated in the offer, and if such Acceptance Notice is not timely delivered, the Transferring Member shall be permitted to sell the Subject Interest to the -47- third party at the price and on the terms specified in the third party offer. If an agreement is executed during the Interest Marketing Period but the closing under such agreement does not occur within sixty (60) days after the end of the Marketing Period (the "Closing Period"), the Interest Purchase Option will apply as to any sale of the Subject Interest occurring after such sixty (60) day period. The Responding Member shall not have the right to approve, object or interfere with any sale under, and conforming to, this Section 9.2 irrespective of the terms of the sale. In connection with the sale of the Subject Interest, the Members agree to cooperate fully and in good faith to deliver any materials reasonably requested by the potential purchaser (all of which shall be provided, to the extent reasonably available, within three (3) Business Days of request (or earlier if such earlier time period is reasonable)). During the Interest Marketing Period, none of the Members shall have the right to bid for the Subject Interest. (iv) If the Responding Member exercises the Interest Purchase Option within the Acceptance Period, then such exercise shall be deemed to create a contract between the Responding Member, on one hand, and the Transferring Member on the other hand, pursuant to which the Responding Member irrevocably agrees to acquire the Subject Interest for the Interest Purchase Price, except that the closing date for such sale shall be thirty (30) days after the making of such election or such later date (not to exceed ninety (90) days in total) as reasonably required to obtain any necessary third party consents and the provisions of Section 9.2(b)(v) shall apply. (v) Simultaneously with the delivery of the Acceptance Notice (and as a condition to the effectiveness of such Acceptance Notice), the Responding Member shall deposit with the Transferring Member a deposit by certified or cashier's check or wire transfer of immediately available federal funds in an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the Interest Purchase Price (the "Interest Purchase Deposit"). If the Responding Member fails to deliver the Interest Purchase Deposit in the manner described above, then the Responding Member shall be deemed to have failed to exercise the Interest Purchase Option and the Transferring Member may proceed in accordance with Section 9.2(b)(iii) above. The Interest Purchase Deposit shall be non-refundable to the Responding Member in the event of a failure by the Responding Member to consummate the purchase of the Subject Interest on the relevant closing date (other than solely by reason of a default by the Transferring Member), in which case the Transferring Member may terminate (or cause the termination of) the contract created by the Proposed Interest Sale Notice and the Acceptance Notice and the Transferring Member may (A) retain the Interest Purchase Deposit as liquidated damages for the benefit and account of the Transferring Member only and (B) to sell at any time the Subject Interest to any Person and on any terms as the Transferring Member may determine in its sole discretion, without any consent or approval of any other Member and without having to comply with any of the terms of this Section 9.2. The parties agree that damages to the Transferring Member will -48- be difficult and impracticable to ascertain in connection with a default by the Responding Member under this Section 9.2 and the retention of the Interest Purchase Deposit by the Transferring Member is a reasonable estimate of such damages from such default and shall not be considered a penalty. If the sale of the Subject Interest fails to occur on the relevant closing date solely by reason of a default by the Transferring Member (other than as a result of any act or omission by the Responding Member), then, at the election of the Responding Member, (x) the contract created by the Proposed Interest Sale Notice and the Acceptance Notice shall be terminated and the Interest Purchase Deposit shall be refunded to the Responding Member; or (y) the Responding Member may seek specific performance of such contract, but the Responding Member shall have no other rights or remedies by reason of such breach. If the closing of the sale of such Subject Interest to the Responding Member occurs, then the Interest Purchase Deposit shall be applied towards the Interest Purchase Price at closing. (vi) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each party shall bear its own legal fees and expenses in connection with a sale under this Section 9.2. The Company shall not pay any costs of marketing the Subject Interest or any legal fees incurred by the Transferring Member or the Responding Member. (c) In connection with the sale of an Interest by the Transferring Member pursuant to this Section 9.2, the provisions of Section 9.4 shall be applicable to such sale. 9.3 Tag-Along Rights; Drag-Along Rights. (a) Drag-Along Rights. In the event that any Member and/or its permitted transferees (the "Proposing Member") propose to Transfer its respective Interest to any Person after first offering such Interest to the other Member pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.2, the Proposing Member may upon not less than fifteen (15) Business Days' prior notice require the other Members to Transfer their Interest at the price and upon the terms and conditions of such proposed Transfer. Each Member shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with any Transfer pursuant to this Section and shall take all necessary and desirable actions in connection with the consummation of the Transfer as are reasonably requested by the Proposing Member, including the provision of representations, warranties or indemnifications; provided that no Member shall be required to incur any out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such Transfer that are not reimbursed to such Member; and provided further that no such Member shall be required to provide representations, warranties or indemnifications in connection with any such Transfer that would result in an aggregate liability in excess of such Member's proceeds from such Transfer. The aggregate proceeds received from the Transfer of Interests pursuant to this Section 9.3(a) shall be allocated and distributed to the selling Members in accordance with the distribution allocation provisions of Article 8. -49- (b) Tag-Along Rights. If the Proposing Member does not exercise its Drag-Along Rights pursuant to Section 9.3(a), it shall nonetheless give each other Member not less than fifteen (15) Business Days' prior notice of its proposed Transfer (including the price and other material terms thereof) and shall not Transfer its Interests to any Person unless each other Member is given the opportunity, to be exercised in a writing to the Proposing Member within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the Proposing Member's notice, to Transfer its Interests at the price and upon the same terms and conditions of such proposed Transfer. The aggregate proceeds received from the Transfer of the Member's Interests pursuant to this Section 9.3(b) shall be allocated among and distributed to the selling Members in accordance with the distribution allocation provisions of Article 8. 9.4 Assignment Binding on Company. No Transfer of all or any part of the Interest of a Member permitted to be made under this Agreement shall be binding upon the Company unless and until a duplicate original of such assignment or instrument of transfer, duly executed and acknowledged by the assignor or transferor, has been delivered to the Company, and such instrument evidences (i) the written acceptance by the assignee of all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, (ii) the assignee's representation that such assignment was made in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations and (iii) the consent to the Transfer of the Interest required pursuant to Section 9.1, if any. In addition, a Person to whom a Transfer of any Interest may be made pursuant to this Article 9 may also be required, in the discretion of the Management Committee, and as a condition precedent to its becoming a transferee to make certain representations, warranties and covenants to evidence compliance with U.S. federal and state securities laws including, but not limited to, representations as to its net worth, sophistication and investment intent. 9.5 Bankruptcy of a Member. The Company shall not be dissolved or terminated by reason of the Bankruptcy, removal, withdrawal, dissolution or admission of any Member. 9.6 Substituted Members. (a) Members who assign all their Interests pursuant to an assignment or assignments permitted under this Agreement shall cease to be Members of the Company except that unless and until a Substituted Member is admitted in its stead, the assigning Member shall not cease to be a Member of the Company under the Act and shall retain the rights and powers of a member under the Act and hereunder, provided that such assigning Member may, prior to the admission of a Substituted Member, assign its economic interest in its Interest, to the extent otherwise permitted under Article 9.

On the date hereof, Manager and Owner have agreed upon the annual budget for the period from the date hereof until December 31, 2006, which annual budget is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Initial Annual Budget"). On or before November 1 of each year, Manager shall prepare and submit to Owner a budget (the "Annual Budget") for the following calendar year, substantially in the form of the Initial Annual Budget, with such additions, deletions or modifications as may be reasonably requested by Owner. The Annual Budget shall include a reasonably detailed statement of the following items set forth on a monthly basis: (i) the estimated operating expenses for such year in detail reasonably satisfactory to Owner; (ii) the anticipated capital expenditures and extraordinary expenses for such year described in reasonable detail (the "Capital Budget"). The expenses set forth in the Capital Budget shall include, at a minimum, a breakdown of CAM (recoverable) and Non-CAM (non-recoverable), with further segregation by leasing commissions, tenant improvement allowances, capital expenditures and personal property expenditures; (iii) the estimated capital expenditures that the Manager believes may be necessary or desirable over the subsequent five (5) years in connection with the maintenance and improvement of the Center ("5 Year Capital Plan"); (iv) a leasing plan reflecting the space Manager expects to be leased or renewed during such year, the rent it expects to obtain for such space, the other material economic provisions of the leases, including free rent, the term of each lease, rebates and other concessions, any improvement allowances, brokerage commissions (including any payable to Manager hereunder), payments by tenants toward operating expenses and taxes and any other anticipated leasing expenditures for such year (the "Leasing Budget"); (v) the anticipated gross revenues for such year (the "Revenue Schedule"); (vi) the estimated cash flow from the Center (the "Cash Flow Forecast"); (vii) an estimate as to liability in the succeeding calendar year for real estate taxes; (viii) an estimate as to the aggregate cost in the next succeeding calendar year of wages, salaries, and other compensation to be paid to employees of the Manager working at the Center, as well as the status of any negotiations affecting said wages, salaries and other compensation and any recommendation of Manager respecting such matters; 3 (ix) the extent of completion of any uncompleted improvements to the Center, together with a projection of the improvements to the Center and a projection of the costs of constructing such improvements to be incurred during the next succeeding calendar year; (x) the current legal status of pending or threatened suits concerning the Center or any portion thereof except for suits covered by valid and binding insurance; and (xi) such other information as Owner may reasonably require. The Revenue Schedule shall be in columnar form, with each tenant listed separately and showing for each tenant the: (i) name of such tenant; (ii) floor or suite number; (iii) term of its Lease; (iv) total rent to be collected; and (v) the total rent broken down into various categories such as base rent, expected percentage rent, storage rent, operating expense payment (and the percentage of the tenant's share thereof), real estate tax payment (and the percentage of the tenant's share thereof) and any other rent or charges. Section 3.2 Approval of Budget. The term "Approved Annual Budget" shall mean the Annual Budget (as modified by revisions thereof) approved by the Management Committee of Parent in accordance with the terms of the Parent LLC Agreement. An Annual Budget or a revision thereof shall be deemed approved by Owner only if it is approved in writing by Owner. Within 15 days of Manager's submission of the Annual Budget, Owner and Manager shall meet to discuss Owner's comments to the Annual Budget. Within 10 days of such meeting, Manager shall provide Owner with a revised Annual Budget incorporating Owner's comments to the Annual Budget. Pending Owner's approval of an Annual Budget, Manager shall be entitled to operate the Center and incur expenditures in accordance with the Approved Annual Budget and, in the event the Annual Budget has not been so approved in accordance with the last Approved Annual Budget adjusted for actual increases with respect to non discretionary expenses (e.g. real estate taxes, insurance, debt service, service contract fee escalations, utilities, etc.). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner reserves the right to direct Manager not to commit to any expenditures for discretionary amounts not theretofore committed by Manager. Section 3.3 Obligation and Authority to Implement Budget. Manager shall be authorized, without the need for further approval by Owner, to make the expenditures and incur the obligations provided for in the most recent Approved Annual Budget, provided Manager may exceed the budgeted amount for any line item by the greater of $2,500 or five percent (5%) of the budgeted amount for each such item (provided that in no event may the applicable Annual Budget be exceeded by more than five percent (5%) in the aggregate for all line items in any budget year) upon prior written notice to Owner, and Manager shall be authorized to expend whatever sums are reasonably necessary to respond to any emergency, which in Manager's reasonable discretion is necessary to avoid an 4 immediate loss to the Center; provided, however, that such emergency expenditure shall not exceed the sum of $25,000 per emergency without the prior approval of Owner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the actual or forecasted result relative to the Approved Annual Budget for any calendar year reflects an adverse variance of five percent (5%) or more from the amount of net operating income received from the Center during such calendar year, then, except in the case of emergencies, the Manager shall not exceed the budgeted amount for any line item without the Owner's prior written consent. Any unused amounts budgeted in the Capital Budget for any particular year shall not carry over or be applicable to the following year unless approved by Owner in the Capital Budget for such following year. Manager shall not make expenditures or incur obligations except as authorized pursuant to this Section 3.3 (unless expressly authorized elsewhere in this Agreement). It is understood that non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization may, if Manager so desires, be reflected in the Annual Budget, and that variances between the amounts so reflected in the Annual Budget and the actual amounts of such items shall not affect or limit the amounts of other liabilities and obligations which Manager may incur or pay on behalf of Owner hereunder.

Manager and Service Provider shall each maintain, as an expense of the Center, workers' compensation insurance in amounts required or permitted by statute and employers' liability insurance in, the amount of at least $500,000 per occurrence (if on-site workers will be on Manager's or Service Provider's or their respective Affiliate's payroll), comprehensive automobile liability insurance in an amount not less than $5,000,000, commercial liability insurance of not less than $5,000,000, and such other insurance, if any, as Manager or Service Provider deems reasonable and appropriate.

Owner and Manager waive any right to recover against each other for claims covered by their respective policies of insurance and Owner and Service Provider waive any right to recover against each other for claims covered by their respective policies of insurance.

Section 8.4 Owner Indemnity. Owner shall defend, indemnify and hold Manager, Service Provider and their respective Affiliates harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, actions, demands, judgments, orders, fines, penalties, back-pay awards, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and experts' and reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with any claim or legal action or proceeding by third parties which Manager shall incur or suffer and which relates to this Agreement or the performance by Manager and Service Provider of their respective obligations and duties hereunder, and Owner hereby waives all claims against Manager and Service Provider in connection therewith, except that such indemnification and waiver shall not apply in the case of acts or omissions of Manager or Service Provider or its Affiliates constituting gross negligence, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, willful, reckless or criminal misconduct, or a material breach of this Agreement (provided that such breach was not caused by Owner or by events beyond the reasonable control of Manager). The foregoing 19 indemnification shall not apply to the extent that there are unreimbursed damages due to Manager's or Service Provider's failure to maintain the insurance required to be maintained by Manager or Service Provider pursuant to this Agreement if the matter in question is covered by insurance covering Manager or Service Provider, as the case may be, or their respective Affiliates. Section 8.5 Indemnity. 8.5.1 Manager Indemnity.

Section 8.6 Waiver of Mechanics' Liens. Manager and Service Provider hereby waive any and all mechanics' or materialmen's liens and rights to assert such liens which it may or hereafter have against the Center for any services, work, labor or materials to be performed or furnished by it pursuant to this Agreement or any compensation owed to it under this Agreement. This lien waiver is and shall be self-operative and no further instrument of waiver shall be required to effectuate the provisions hereof. Nevertheless, Manager and Service Provider hereby agree to execute, seal and deliver such further lien waivers and assurances as may be requested by Owner or as may be necessary or appropriate to permit Owner to obtain satisfactory title insurance endorsements for the Center and affirmative coverage against mechanics' and materialmen's liens for the services, labor, materials or other work performed hereunder by Manager or Service Provider or any of the agents and representatives of Manager or Service Provider.

Classes of Interests. The REIT has two classes of Interests outstanding and authorized for issuance: Class A Interests and Class B Interests. Each class is unitized such that the outstanding Class A Membership Units as of any time represent all of the Class A Interests and the outstanding Class B Preferred Membership Units as of any time represent all of the Class B Interests. 4.02. Membership Units. (a) On the date hereof, the Class A Member has received a number of Class A Membership Units equal in number to the dollar amount (but not expressed in dollars) of such Class A Member's Interest. Schedule A sets forth, as of the date hereof, the name and address of, and the number of Class A Membership Units held by, the Class A Member. (b) The REIT may from time to time issue Class B Preferred Membership Units to any Person in exchange for a capital contribution of $1000 per Class B Preferred Membership Units. The REIT intends to have outstanding at any time from and after January 31, 2006 at least a number of Class B Preferred Membership Units such that the sum of the number of Class A Members plus the number of Class B Members equals at least 125. The Board of Directors, at its option and upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days' written notice, may redeem Units of the Class B Preferred Membership Units, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $1,000.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to and including the date fixed for redemption, plus a redemption premium per share (each, a "Redemption Premium") as follows: (1) for any redemption on or prior to December 31, 2007, $200; (2) for any redemption from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008, $150; (3) for any redemption from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009, $100; (4) thereafter, $0. If less than all of the outstanding Class B Preferred Membership Units are to be redeemed, the Class B Preferred Membership Units to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata (as nearly as may be practicable without creating fractional Units) or by any other equitable method determined by the Board of Directors, provided, however, that from and after January 31, 2006 no such redemption shall cause the sum of the number of Class B Members plus the number of Class A Members to equal less than 125. Schedule B sets forth, as of the date hereof, the name and address of, the number of Class B Preferred Membership Units held by, and the Class B Percentage Interest of, each of the Class B Members. Schedule B may be amended by the Board of Directors from time to time to reflect changes in the number or ownership of Class B Preferred Membership Units, provided, however, that the failure to so modify Schedule B shall not affect the rights or status of any Person who is or is no longer a Class B Member. (c) Each Membership Unit shall be evidenced by a Certificate. If a Member requests delivery of a Certificate representing its Membership Units and subsequently requests a replacement Certificate representing its Membership Units because the original Certificate is lost, misplaced, destroyed or stolen, then such Member shall not be entitled to a replacement Certificate unless it delivers a bond or other indemnity to the REIT satisfactory to the Board of Directors in such sum as the Board of Directors may determine, not exceeding -9- double the value of the Membership Units represented by such Certificate, to indemnify the REIT against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss of any such Certificate, or the issuance of any such new Certificate. 4.03. Capital Contributions by Class A Members. The Class A Members are each contributing to the capital of the REIT concurrently with the execution of this Agreement the amounts of cash set forth on Schedule A to this Agreement. No Class A Member is required to make any additional capital contribution to the REIT. ARTICLE V DISTRIBUTIONS TO MEMBERS ------------------------ 5.01. Distributions. (a) Upon the REIT's receipt of Available Receipts, the Board of Directors shall declare a distribution of, and shall cause the REIT promptly thereafter to distribute, all such amounts to the Members as set forth in this Section 5.01. Subject to Section 9.02(c) hereof, Available Receipts shall be distributed, to the extent available, in the following priority: (1) First, to the Class B Members, pro rata in proportion to their Class B Percentage Interests, until each of the Class B Members has received a cumulative return of twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) per annum of the sum of the $1,000.00 liquidation preference, plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon, taking into account the amount and timing of all prior distributions under this Section 5.01(a); and (2) Second, 100% to the Class A Member. (b) The Board of Directors may withhold from any amounts distributable to any Member any amounts of any tax required to be withheld by the REIT under the Code or the Regulations or the tax laws of any jurisdiction. Such amounts withheld by the Board of Directors shall be treated as distributed to such Member and paid by such Member to the relevant tax authority. If the REIT is required to withhold taxes with respect to any amounts that are not currently distributed to a Member, the Member shall pay to the REIT an amount equal to the amount required to be withheld by the REIT. (c) With respect to Section 5.01(a)(1), such dividends shall accrue on a daily basis and be cumulative from the first date on which any Class B Preferred Membership Unit is issued, such issue date to be contemporaneous with the receipt by the REIT of subscription funds for the Class B Preferred Membership Units (the "Original Issue Date"), and shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 31 of each year or, if not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (each, a "Dividend Payment Date"). Any dividend payable on the Class B Preferred Membership Units for any partial dividend period will be prorated and computed on the basis of 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months (it being understood that the dividend payable on December 31, 2005 will be for less than the full dividend period). A "dividend period" shall mean, with respect to the first "dividend period," the period from and including the Original Issue Date to and including the first Dividend Payment Date, and with respect to each subsequent "dividend period," the period from but excluding -10- a Dividend Payment Date to and including the next succeeding Dividend Payment Date or other date as of which accrued dividends are to be calculated. Dividends will be payable to holders of record as they appear in the share records of the REIT at the close of business on the applicable record date, which shall be the fifteenth (15th) day of the calendar month in which the applicable Dividend Payment Date falls or on such other date designated by the Board of Directors for the payment of dividends that is not more than thirty (30) nor less than ten (10) days prior to such Dividend Payment Date (each, a "Divided Record Date"). 5.02. Consent Dividends. The Board of Directors shall use reasonable efforts to make distributions each year in an amount that will cause the REIT's "dividends paid deduction" (as defined in Section 561 of the Code) to at least equal the REIT's taxable income for the year (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction). If there are not sufficient Available Receipts, the Board of Directors is authorized to take such other actions (including a declaration of consent dividends) as the Board of Directors determines is appropriate to cause the dividends paid deduction to equal the REIT's taxable income. ARTICLE VI RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ------------------------------------------------ 6.01. Management. The REIT shall be managed by the Board of Directors. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Board of Directors has the full, exclusive and complete right, power, authority, discretion and responsibility vested in or assumed by a Board of Directors of a limited liability company under the Act and as otherwise provided by law, including those necessary to make, affirmatively or negatively, all decisions affecting the business of the REIT and/or the Subsidiary and to take and cause the REIT and/or the Subsidiary to take those actions specified in Section 3.02 hereof. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Board of Directors is hereby vested with the full, exclusive and complete right, power and discretion to operate, manage and control the affairs of the REIT to the best of its ability and shall carry out the business of the REIT and the Subsidiary. The Board of Directors may delegate authority to carry out the day-to-day activities of the REIT and the Subsidiary to a manager or adviser, including a Person that is an Affiliate of a Member, which delegation of authority shall be revocable in whole or in part at any time by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.

Subject to, and except as otherwise provided in the Partnership Agreement, the Board of Directors may contract or otherwise deal with any Person for the transaction of the business of the REIT, which Person -11- may, under the supervision of the Board of Directors, perform any acts or services for the REIT as the Board of Directors may approve. (b) Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, no act shall be taken, sum expended, decision made or obligation incurred by the REIT or the Subsidiary with respect to a matter within the scope of any of the Unanimous Decisions or Majority Decisions, unless and until the Required Board Approval shall have been obtained pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 6.02. Any action to be taken or made by or on behalf of the Subsidiary that, if taken or made by or on behalf of the REIT would constitute an Majority Decision or a Unanimous Decision shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.02. In the event of any need for consent of the Board of Directors to any Unanimous Decision or Majority Decision, any member of the Board of Directors shall request in writing and shall provide the Board of Directors with any information reasonably necessary for the Board of Directors to make an informed decision. The Board of Directors shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep informed of the status of any matter regarding requests for consent. (c) Except as limited by the Partnership Agreement, the Board of Directors shall have the authority to make or not to make any elections for tax purposes in its discretion. (d) The Board of Directors may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. (e) The Board of Directors may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers and other consultants and advisers selected by it, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon the opinion of such Persons as to matters within such Person's professional or expert competence shall be presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and not to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct. (f) Persons dealing with the REIT are entitled to rely conclusively upon the power and authority of the Board of Directors as herein set forth. (g) The Board of Directors shall take, or cause the REIT to take, any actions reasonably required for the REIT to qualify as a "real estate investment trust" for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including sending out the requests for statements from the Members required by Regulations ss. 1.857-8. 6.03. Liability for Acts and Omissions. (a) None of the members of the Board of Directors, any Member, any of their Affiliates, nor their members, shareholders, partners, managers, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") shall have any liability, responsibility or accountability in damages or otherwise to any Member or the REIT for, and the REIT agrees to indemnify, pay, protect and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including all costs and expenses of attorneys, defense, appeal and -12- settlement of any and all suits, actions or proceedings instituted or threatened against the Indemnified Parties or the REIT) and all costs of investigation in connection therewith which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Indemnified Parties or the REIT in any way relating to or arising out of, or alleged to relate to or arise out of, any action or inaction on the part of the REIT, on the part of the Indemnified Parties when acting on behalf of the REIT or on the part of any brokers or agents when acting on behalf of the REIT; provided, however, that each Member shall be liable, responsible and accountable for and shall indemnify, pay, protect and hold harmless the REIT from and against the Excluded Liabilities, and the REIT shall not be liable to any Indemnified Party for, any portion of the Excluded Liabilities; provided, further, however, nothing in this provision shall create personal liability on the part of any Member's Affiliates or its or their respective members, shareholders, partners, managers, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such indemnification obligation by the REIT shall not apply where an Indemnified Party is seeking indemnity based on a claim or action brought against such Indemnified Party by an officer or director of a Member. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party (other than by reason of the fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party) or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the REIT shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the REIT on the one hand and such Indemnified Party on the other hand, but also the relative fault of the REIT and such Indemnified Party, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. In any action, suit or proceeding against the REIT or any Indemnified Party relating to or arising, or alleged to relate to or arise, out of any such action or non-action, the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to jointly employ, at the expense of the REIT, counsel of the Indemnified Parties' choice in such action, suit or proceeding, which counsel shall be reputable and qualified in matters of the type that are the subject of such action, suit or proceeding, provided that if retention of joint counsel by the Indemnified Parties would create a conflict of interest, each group of Indemnified Parties which would not cause such a conflict shall have the right to employ, at the expense of the REIT, separate counsel of such group of Indemnified Parties' choice in such action, suit or proceeding, which counsel shall be reputable and qualified in matters of the type that are the subject of such action, suit or proceeding. The satisfaction of the obligations of the REIT under this Section 6.03(a) shall be from and limited to the assets of the REIT and no Member shall have any personal liability on account thereof. (b) The provision of advances from REIT funds to an Indemnified Party for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action or proceeding is permissible if (i) such suit, action or proceeding relates to or arises out of, or is alleged to relate to or arise out of, any action or inaction on the part of the Indemnified Party in the performance of its duties or provision of its services on behalf of the REIT and (ii) the Indemnified Party undertakes to repay any funds advanced pursuant to this Section 6.03(b) in cases in which it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification under Section 6.03(a). If advances are made under this Section 6.03(b), the Indemnified Party shall furnish the REIT with an undertaking as set forth in clause (ii) of this paragraph and shall thereafter have the right to bill the REIT for, or otherwise request the REIT to pay, at any time and from time to time after such Indemnified Party shall become obligated to make payment therefor, any and all reasonable amounts for which such Indemnified Party believes in good faith that such Indemnified Party is -13- entitled to indemnification under Section 6.03(a) with the approval of the Board of Directors, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The REIT shall pay any and all such bills and honor any and all such requests for payment within sixty (60) days after such bill or request is received by the Board of Directors, and the REIT's rights to repayment of such amounts shall be secured by the Indemnified Party's Interest, if any, or by such other adequate security as the Board of Directors may determine. In the event that a final determination is made that the REIT is not so obligated in respect of any amount paid by it to a particular Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall refund such amount within sixty (60) days of such final determination. In the event that a final determination is made that the REIT is so obligated in respect of any amount not paid by the REIT to a particular Indemnified Party, the REIT shall pay such amount to such Indemnified Party within sixty (60) days of such final determination. In either of the foregoing cases, the party obligated to pay shall include with such payment interest at the greater of (i) nine percent (9%) or (ii) the Prime Rate plus two percent (2%) from the date paid by the REIT until repaid by the Indemnified Party or the date it was obligated to be paid by the REIT until the date actually paid by the REIT to the Indemnified Party. (c) All judgments against the REIT or any Indemnified Party wherein such persons or entities are entitled to indemnification must first be satisfied from the REIT assets before the Board of Directors or such other persons or entities are responsible for these obligations. (d) With respect to the liabilities of the REIT for which the Board of Directors is not obligated to indemnify the REIT, whether for professional and other services rendered to it, loans made to it by Members or others, injuries to persons or property, indemnity to the Indemnified Parties, contractual obligations, guaranties, endorsements or for other reasons similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing, and without regard to the manner in which any liability of any nature may be incurred by the person to whom it may be owed, all such liabilities: (i) shall be liabilities of the REIT as an entity, and shall be paid or otherwise satisfied from REIT assets (and the REIT shall sell or liquidate all assets and/or make a call for capital contributions as are necessary to satisfy such liabilities); and (ii) (except as provided in paragraph (i) above and in the proviso in the penultimate sentence of Section 6.03(a), shall not in any event be payable in whole or in part by any Member, or by any director, officer, trustee, employee, agent, shareholder, beneficiary or partner of any Member. (e) The Board of Directors may cause the REIT, at the REIT's expense, to purchase insurance to insure the Board of Directors and the other Indemnified Parties against liability hereunder, including for a breach or an alleged breach of their responsibilities hereunder. The Board of Directors shall send notice to the Class A Members thereof, describing the insurance policy and the premiums paid therefor promptly upon the purchase of such insurance. The REIT shall not incur the costs of that portion of any insurance, other than public liability insurance, which insures any Indemnified Party for any liability as to which such person is prohibited from being indemnified under Section 6.03(a), including Excluded Liabilities. -14- (f) If the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification from another source or is entitled to recovery by insurance policies, such Indemnified Party shall diligently pursue such other source, provided that (i) such obligation shall not in any manner limit such Indemnified Party's right to seek indemnification or advances under this Agreement and (ii) such Indemnified Party shall remit to the REIT any funds it recovers from another source to the extent that the sum of the amounts recovered from such other source plus the amounts recovered from the REIT exceeds the aggregate losses it incurred.

(h) The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the REIT under this Section 6.03 shall (i) be in addition to any liability which the REIT may otherwise have, (ii) not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which any Indemnified Party may be entitled to under any agreement, as a matter of law or otherwise, both as to action in an Indemnified Party's official capacity and to action in another capacity, (iii) extend upon the same terms and conditions to the officers, directors, partners, members, stockholders, employees and controlling Persons (if any) of each Indemnified Party, (iv) continue as to an Indemnified Party who shall have ceased to have an official capacity for acts or omissions during such official capacity and (v) be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the REIT, the Members, Board of Directors and any such other Indemnified Party. 6.04. Board of Directors. (a) A board of directors (the "Board of Directors") is hereby established and is granted the sole and exclusive right, power and authority to make, approve or disapprove all Unanimous Decisions and Majority Decisions on behalf of the REIT and/or the Subsidiary, and is hereby authorized to designate an authorized signatory to execute and deliver on behalf of the REIT and/or the Subsidiary any and all such contracts, certificates, agreements, instruments and other documents, and to take any such action, as the Board of Directors deems necessary or appropriate relating to Unanimous Decisions and Majority Decisions. (b) The Board of Directors shall cause such reports as the Management Committee shall reasonably request to be prepared and delivered on a timely basis to the members of the Management Committee and the Board of Directors.

Each individual on the Board of Directors shall have one (1) vote on all matters that arise before the Board of Directors. For avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no matter may be approved and no action taken by the Board of Directors without Required Board Approval. (e) (1) The Board of Directors shall meet annually to review and vote on the proposed Business Plan and Annual Budget and shall meet not less than quarterly to review and vote on any Unanimous Decisions and Majority Decisions. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by any individual thereof on at least four (4) Business Days' prior written notice of time and place of such meeting; provided, however, that such notice requirement shall be deemed waived by any individual thereof who is present (in person or by telephone) at the commencement of any such special meeting.

All four (4) individuals on the Board of Directors shall constitute a quorum for Board of Director action with respect to any Unanimous Decision.

(3) Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting if a written consent setting forth the action so taken is signed by the individual whose approval is required to constitute the Required Board Approval. In the event of any action which is taken, or is to be taken pursuant to a written consent and not pursuant to a vote at a duly called and authorized meeting of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors shall endeavor, in good faith, to solicit input from all of the Board of Directors prior to the execution by any individual of such written consent. Such consent may be in one instrument or in several instruments, and shall have the same force and effect as a vote of such individuals. An action so taken shall be deemed to have been taken at a meeting held on the effective date so certified. (4) Each individual on the Board of Directors may authorize any other to act for him or her by proxy on all matters in which an individual on the Board of Directors is entitled to participate, including waiving notice of any meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting. Every proxy must be signed by such individual. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the individual executing it, such revocation to be effective upon the REIT's receipt of written notice thereof. -16- (5) All reasonable travel expenses incurred by the Board of Directors in connection with their service on the Board of Directors shall be borne by the Class A Member; provided, however, that such travel expenses shall not be paid in duplicate for costs incurred by individuals on the Board of Directors who also serve as Committee Representatives (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) of the Partnership. 6.05.

ARTICLE VII RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF MEMBERS --------------------------------- 7.01. Management of the REIT. No Member may or shall take part in the management or control of the business of the REIT or the Subsidiary or transact any business in the name of the REIT or the Subsidiary. No Member shall have the power or authority to bind the REIT or the Subsidiary or to sign any agreement or document in the name of the REIT or the Subsidiary, all of such powers being vested solely and exclusively in the Board of Directors. No Member shall have any power or authority with respect to the REIT, except as provided herein and under the Act. 7.02. Limitation on Liability. (a) No Member shall have any liability to contribute money to the REIT or the Subsidiary, nor shall any Member be personally liable for any obligations of the REIT or the Subsidiary. No Member shall be obligated to make loans to the REIT or the Subsidiary and no Member shall be obligated to repay to the REIT or the Subsidiary, any Member or any creditor of the REIT or the Subsidiary all or any fraction of any amounts distributed to such Member. (b) In accordance with state law, a member of a limited liability company may, under certain circumstances, be required to return to the limited liability company for the benefit of company creditors amounts previously distributed to it as a return of capital. It is the intent of the Members that a distribution to any Member be deemed a compromise within the meaning of Section 18-502(b) of the Act and not a return or withdrawal of capital, even if such distribution represents, for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise (in full or in part), a distribution of capital, and no Member shall be obligated to pay any such amount to or for the account of the REIT or the Subsidiary or any creditor of the REIT, except as provided in this Section 7.02. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Member is obligated to make any such payment, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Member and not of any other Member. 7.03. Power of Attorney. -17- (a) Each Member hereby makes, constitutes and appoints the Board of Directors and/or its authorized officers and agents, successors and assigns, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power and authority in its name, place and stead to make, complete, execute, sign, acknowledge, deliver, file and record at the appropriate public offices such documents as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this Agreement, including the following with respect to the REIT: (i) all certificates, other agreements and amendments thereto which the Board of Directors deems necessary to form, continue or otherwise qualify the REIT as a limited liability company in each jurisdiction in which the REIT conducts or may conduct business or in connection with any tax filings of the REIT (including the preparation and filing of IRS Form 972 (Consent of Shareholder to Include Specific Amount in Gross Income) in the event the Board of Directors declares consent dividends) and any election to treat the REIT as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and each Member specifically authorizes the Board of Directors to execute, sign, acknowledge, deliver, file and record any amendments to the Certificate of Formation of the REIT as required by the Act; (ii) this Agreement, counterparts hereof and amendments hereto authorized pursuant to the terms hereof; (iii) all instruments which the Board of Directors deems necessary to effect the admission of a Member to the REIT, or the dissolution and liquidation of the REIT in accordance with the provisions hereof; and (iv) all appointments of agents for service of process and attorneys for service of process which the Board of Directors deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the organization and qualification of the REIT and the conduct of its business. (b) The foregoing power of attorney is hereby declared to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and it shall survive the Bankruptcy, death, dissolution or legal disability or cessation to exist of a Member to the fullest extent permitted by law and shall extend to its heirs, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and the transfer or assignment of all or any part of the Interest of such Member. (c) The power of attorney granted to the Board of Directors shall not apply to other votes, consents or elections of the Members provided for in this Agreement (including, without limitation, any consent pursuant to Section 11.01(b)). (d) Each Member further agrees to execute promptly any and all documents or instruments referred to in this Section 7.03 if the power of attorney granted hereunder is rendered ineffective by the provisions of the Act or if the Board of Directors in its reasonable discretion so requests execution by such Member and the same shall not be inconsistent with the provisions hereof. 7.04. Waiver of Action for Partition; Waiver of Fiduciary Duty. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives during the term of the REIT (i) any right that it may have to maintain any action for partition with respect to any assets of -18- the REIT or the Subsidiary and (ii) any fiduciary or similar duty that would otherwise be owing to such party. 7.05. Confidentiality. Each Member shall maintain the confidentiality of (i) "Non-Public Information," (ii) any information subject to a confidentiality agreement binding upon the REIT, the Subsidiary, the Board of Directors or the Partnership of which such Member has written notice and (iii) the identity of other Members and their Affiliates and members of the Partnership and their Affiliates so long as such information has not become otherwise publicly available unless, after reasonable notice to the REIT and the Partnership by the Member, otherwise compelled by court order or other legal process or in response to other governmentally imposed reporting or disclosure obligations including any act regarding the freedom of information to which it may be subject; provided that each Member may disclose "Non-Public Information" to its Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, professional consultants, regulators and proposed transferee upon notification to such Affiliate, officer, employee, agent, consultant, regulator or proposed transferee that such disclosure is made in confidence and shall be kept in confidence, and any party may disclose such information as is necessary or advisable with respect to its status as a public company. As used in this Section 7.05, "Non-Public Information" means information regarding the Partnership (including information regarding any Person in which the Partnership holds, or contemplates acquiring, any Investment), the Subsidiary, the Board of Directors or the REIT received by such Member pursuant to this Agreement, but does not include information that (i) was publicly known at the time such Member receives such information pursuant to this Agreement or the Partnership Agreement, (ii) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Member or (iii) is communicated to such Member by a third party free of any obligation of confidence known to such Member. The Board of Directors may not disclose the identities of the Members, except on a confidential basis to prospective and other Members or limited partners in the Partnership, or to lenders, third parties with whom the Partnership coinvests, or other financial sources. ARTICLE VIII TRANSFER OF INTERESTS --------------------- 8.01. Transfers. (a) A Member may freely Transfer its Interest in whole or part (but in increments of no less than one whole Membership Unit), provided, however, that no such Transfer may (i) cause the REIT not to be qualified as a "real estate investment trust" for U.S. tax purposes by reason of the failure to comply with the requirements in Section 856(a)(5) of the Code (requiring that Units of a real estate investment trust be held by at least 100 Persons) or in Section 856(a)(6) of the Code (requiring that a real estate investment trust not be "closely held," as that term is defined in the Code), or (ii) violate the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws or require registration of the Interests (or any class thereof) under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and (iii) unless and until the Board of Directors, in its discretion, waives this requirement with respect to any Transfer of an Interest, the transferor shall remain obligated to make capital contributions and return distributed proceeds as provided herein as if it were still a Class A Member or Class B Member, as applicable. Any such Transfer in violation of clauses (i) of this Section 8.01(a) shall be null and void as against the REIT, unless the transferor has obtained a confirmation from the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 8.01(c) hereof. Any transferee that receives all or a part of an Interest pursuant to a Transfer made in compliance with the terms of this -19- Section 8.01(a) shall automatically become a Member with all of the powers, rights and obligations that the transferor had in respect of the Membership Units so transferred. (b) For purposes of Article V, the REIT and the Board of Directors shall be entitled to treat the record owner (on the books of the REIT) of any Interest in the REIT as the absolute owner thereof in all respects, and shall incur no liability for distributions of cash or other property made in good faith to such owner until such time as a written instrument of assignment of such Interest has been received by the Board of Directors and recorded on the books of the REIT. (c) A Member may (but shall not be required to), at any time immediately prior to or following a Transfer of all or a part of its Interest, request a confirmation from the Board of Directors confirming that such Transfer will not violate the provisions of Section 8.01(a) hereof, provided, however, that the Board of Directors may (i) at the expense of the requesting Member, engage counsel and obtain an opinion therefrom in connection with the delivery of any such confirmation and (ii) withhold delivery of such certificate until all of such counsel's fees have been paid. 8.02. Involuntary Withdrawal by Members. (a) If an individual Member does not, by written instrument, designate a Person to become a transferee of his Interest upon his death, then his personal representative shall have all of the rights of a Member for the purpose of settling or managing his estate, and such power as the decedent possessed to Transfer his Interest in the REIT to a transferee. (b) Upon the Bankruptcy, dissolution or other cessation of existence of a Member which is a trust, corporation, partnership or other entity, the authorized representative of such entity shall have all the rights of a Member for the purpose of effecting the orderly winding up and disposition of the business of such entity and such power as such entity possessed to designate a successor as a transferee of its Interest.

Dissolution.

Liquidation. -20- (a) Upon dissolution of the REIT, the Liquidator shall wind up the affairs of the REIT as expeditiously as business circumstances allow and proceed within a reasonable period of time to sell or otherwise liquidate the assets of the REIT and, after paying or making due provision by the setting up of reserves for all Indebtedness and other liabilities of the REIT, distribute the assets among the Members in accordance with the provisions for the making of distributions set forth in this Article IX. (b) No Member shall be liable for the return of the capital contributions of other Members, provided that this provision shall not relieve any Member of any other duty or liability it may have under this Agreement. (c) Upon liquidation of the REIT, all of the assets of the REIT, or the proceeds therefrom, shall be distributed or used as follows and in the following order of priority: (i) for the payment of the debts and liabilities of the REIT and the expenses of liquidation; (ii) to the setting up of any reserves which the Liquidator may deem reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the REIT; (iii) to the Class B Members, pro rata in proportion to their Class B Percentage Interests an amount equal to $1000 per outstanding Class B Preferred Membership Share plus an additional amount which, when taking into account the amounts previously distributed to the Class B Members pursuant to Section 5.01(a), would result in their receiving an amount equal to any and all accrued and unpaid distributions provided for in Section 5.01(a) to the date of payment, plus, if applicable, the Redemption Premium; (iv) to the Class A Members in accordance with Section 5.01(a)(2) hereof. (d) When the Liquidator has complied with the foregoing liquidation plan, the Board of Directors shall execute, acknowledge and cause to be filed an instrument evidencing the cancellation of the Certificate of Formation of the REIT, at which time the REIT shall be terminated. (e) After payment of the full amount of the liquidation proceeds to which the Class B Members are entitled (including all amounts payable under Section 9.02 hereof), the holders of Class B Preferred Membership Units will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the REIT, the Subsidiary or the Partnership.

The Company shall at all times have two Springing Members. In the event of a vacancy in the position of Springing Member, the Member shall, as soon as practicable, appoint a successor Springing Member to fill such vacancy.

All actions taken by the Member on behalf of the Company or on behalf of any of its affiliates prior to the date hereof, to effect the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, are hereby ratified, approved, and confirmed in all respects. 9.

Limitations on the Company's Activities. (i) This Section 11(d) is being adopted in order to comply with certain provisions required in order to qualify the Company as a "special purpose entity" for the purpose of the Indebtedness and so long as the Indebtedness is outstanding, this Section 11(d) shall govern the activities of the Company notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement. (ii) The Member shall not, so long as any Indebtedness is outstanding, amend, materially alter, change or repeal this Agreement without the consent of Lender or its successors and assigns, and, after the securitization contemplated by the Loan Agreement, only if the Company receives confirmation from each of the applicable rating agencies that such amendment would not result in the qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of any securities rating. Subject to this Section 11(d), the Member reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provisions contained in this Agreement in accordance with Section 31. In the event of any conflict between any of the definitions of "Independent Manager", "Indebtedness", "Special Member", "Springing Member", "Loan Documents", "Property", "Mortgage", "Bankruptcy", or Section 2, Sections 6(a)(ii) and (iii), 6(b), 6(c), 6(d), 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 18, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 30, 31 or 34 (the "Special Purpose Provisions"), on the one hand, and any other provision of this or any other document governing the formation, management or operation of the Company, on the other hand, the Special Purpose Provisions shall control. (iii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and any provision of law that otherwise so empowers the Company, so long as any Indebtedness is outstanding, none of the Company, the Member, the Independent Manager or any other Person or entity on behalf of the Company shall be authorized or empowered, nor shall they permit the Company, without the prior unanimous written consent of the Member and all of the Independent Managers, to institute proceedings to have the Company adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, or consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Company or file a voluntary petition seeking, or consenting to, reorganization or relief with respect to the Company under any applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy, or seek or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or a substantial part of its property, or make any assignment for the benefit of creditors of the Company, or admit in writing the Company's inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or to the fullest extent permitted by law, to take any action in furtherance of any such action, provided, however, that the Member may not vote on, or authorize the taking of, any of the foregoing actions unless there are two Independent Managers then serving in such capacity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, for so long as any Indebtedness is outstanding, none of the Company, the Member or the Independent Managers shall be authorized or empowered, nor shall they permit the Company to consolidate, merge, dissolve, terminate, liquidate or sell all or substantially all of the Company's assets (other than such sales as are permitted under the Loan Documents). 6 (iv) So long as any Indebtedness is outstanding, the Member shall cause the Company to do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises. The Member also shall cause the Company to be a "special purpose entity", as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement, and shall cause the Company to do the following: (1) maintain its own separate books and records, bank statements, and bank accounts; (2) at all times hold itself out to the public as a legal entity separate from the Member and any other Person (as defined below) and not identify itself as a division of any other Person; (3) file its own tax returns, if any, as may be required under applicable law, to the extent not treated as a "disregarded entity", and pay any taxes required to be paid under applicable law; (4) not commingle its assets with assets of any other Person and not divert any of its funds to any other Person or for any other purpose other than business uses of the Company, as applicable; (5) conduct its business in its own name separate and apart from that of any of its Affiliates or any other Person and hold all of its assets in its own name; (6) strictly comply with all Delaware limited liability company organizational formalities to maintain its separate existence; (7) pay its own liabilities and expenses only out of its own funds; (8) maintain a commercially reasonable relationship with its Affiliates (as defined below) and its Member that is substantially similar to the relationship that would exist between unaffiliated entities dealing under terms which are commercially reasonable and, except for capital contributions and capital distributions permitted under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, similar to those in "arms length" transactions between unaffiliated entities; 7 (9) from its own funds, pay the salaries of its own employees, if any; (10) not guarantee or become obligated for the debts of any other entity, including any Affiliate, and not hold out its credit as being available to satisfy the obligations of others; (11) allocate fairly and reasonably any overhead for shared office space; (12) use separate stationery, invoices and checks bearing its own name; (13) not pledge its assets for the benefit of any other Person or make any loans or advances to any other Person; (14) correct any known misunderstanding regarding its separate identity; (15) maintain adequate capital and an adequate number of employees in light of its contemplated business purposes; (16) not acquire any obligations or securities of a Member or its affiliates; (17) cause the Member and other representatives of the Company to act at all times with respect to the Company consistent with and in furtherance of the foregoing and in the best interests of the Company; (18) not own any asset or property other than (i) the Property; and (ii) personal property necessary for the ownership and operation of the Property; (19) not engage, directly or indirectly, in any business other than the ownership, management and operation of the Property; and (20) maintain separate financial statements, showing its assets and liabilities separate and apart from those of any other Person or entity, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") or otherwise in accordance with the Loan Documents and not to have its assets listed on the financial statement of any other entity. Subject to Section 11(d)(ii), the Member shall be prohibited from amending this Agreement with respect to the foregoing covenants without the consent of Lender or its successors and assigns, and, 8 after the securitization contemplated by the Loan Agreement only if the Company receives (i) confirmation from each of the applicable rating agencies that such amendment would not result in the qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of any securities rating; and (ii) approval of such amendment by Lender or its successors and assigns. Failure of the Company, or the Member or an Independent Manager on behalf of the Company, to comply with any of the foregoing covenants or any of the other covenants contained in this Agreement shall not affect the status of the Company as a separate legal entity or the limited liability of the Member or the Independent Managers. (v) So long as any Indebtedness is outstanding, the Member shall not cause or permit the Company to: (1) become or remain liable, directly or contingently, in connection with any indebtedness or other liability of any other person or entity, whether by guarantee, endorsement (other than endorsements of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection in the ordinary course of business), agreement to purchase or repurchase, agreement to supply or advance funds, or otherwise; (2) grant or permit to exist any lien, encumbrance, claim, security interest, pledge or other right in favor of any person or entity with respect to the Property, except as contemplated by the Loan Documents; (3) engage, directly or indirectly, in any business other than owning the Property or the actions required or permitted to be performed under Section 8, the Loan Documents, or this Section 11(d); (4) incur, create or assume any indebtedness other than the Indebtedness and liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of its business that are related to, and reasonably necessary for, the ownership and operation of the Property and permitted under the Loan Documents; (5) make or permit to remain outstanding any loan or advance to any other person or entity, or own or acquire (a) indebtedness issued by any other person or entity, or (b) any stock or securities of or interest in, any person or entity; (6) enter into, or be a party to, any transaction with any of its affiliates, except (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, and (ii) any other transactions that are 9 consistent with market terms of any such transactions entered into by unaffiliated parties and that are (A) in the ordinary course of business; (B) pursuant to the reasonable requirements and purposes of its business; and (C) upon fair and reasonable terms (and, to the extent material, pursuant to enforceable written agreements); (7) transfer limited liability company ownership interests other than such activities that are expressly permitted pursuant to Sections 23 and 24 hereof; (8) form, acquire or hold any subsidiary or own equity interest in any other entity (whether corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other); (9) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, engage in any dissolution, liquidation, consolidation, merger, sale or other transfer of any of its assets outside the ordinary course of the Company's business; (10) elect to be classified as an association taxable as a corporation for federal, state, local or other income tax purposes; or (11) make any change to its name or principal business or use of any trade names, fictitious names, assumed names or "doing business as" names. e. Actions Requiring the Consent of the Member. Without the express written approval of the Member, but expressly subject to the additional limitations on and obligations of the Member, the Company shall not: (i) do any act in contravention of this Agreement; (ii) do any act which would make it impossible to carry on the ordinary business of the Company or the Member; (iii) sell, assign or transfer in whole or any portions the Property except as permitted in this Agreement and the Loan Documents; (iv) confess a judgment against the Company or the Member; (v) possess property or assign rights in specific Company property for other than a purpose described herein; (vi) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, admit a person or entity as a Member of the Company; or 10 (vii) pay any fee or other compensation, take any action or grant any consent which is otherwise prohibited by this Agreement. 12. Independent Managers. As long as any Indebtedness is outstanding, the Member shall cause the Company at all times to have at least two Independent Managers who will each be appointed by the Member. To the fullest extent permitted by law, including Section 18-1101(c) of the Act, the Independent Managers shall consider only the interests of the Company, including its respective creditors, in acting or otherwise voting on the matters referred to in Section 11(d)(iii). No resignation or removal of an Independent Manager, and no appointment of a successor Independent Manager, shall be effective until the successor Independent Manager (i) shall have accepted his or her appointment by a written instrument; and (ii) shall have executed a counterpart of this Agreement as required by Section 6(b)(iii). In the event of a vacancy in the position of Independent Manager, the Member shall, as soon as practicable, appoint a new Independent Manager. All right, power and authority of the Independent Managers shall be limited to the extent necessary to exercise those rights and perform those duties specifically set forth in this Agreement. Except as provided in the second sentence of this Section 12, in exercising their rights and performing their duties under this Agreement, the Independent Managers shall have a fiduciary duty of loyalty and care similar to that of a director of a business corporation organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. No Independent Manager shall at any time serve as trustee in bankruptcy for any Affiliate of the Company. As used in this Agreement, "Affiliate" shall mean, with respect to any Person, any other Person, directly or indirectly, Controlling or Controlled by or under direct or indirect common Control with such Person including, without limitation, (i) any Person who has a familial relationship, by blood, marriage or otherwise with any partner or employee of the Company, or any affiliate thereof; and (ii) any Person which receives compensation for administrative, legal or accounting services from the Company or any Affiliate. As used in this Agreement, "Control", "Controlled" or "Controlling" shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities or general partnership or managing member interests, by contract or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Person shall be deemed to Control any other Person in which it owns, directly or indirectly, a majority of the ownership interests. As used in this Agreement, "Person" shall mean any individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, associate, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or other organization, whether or not a legal entity, and any governmental authority. 13. Independent Manager. "Independent Manager" shall mean a natural person who is not at the time of initial appointment and has not been at any time during the preceding five (5) years and shall not be while serving as an Independent Manager: (a) an officer, director, employee, partner, manager, member, stockholder or beneficial-interest holder of the Company or any Affiliate (other than his or her service as an independent manager, independent director, or special member of the Company); (b) a creditor, customer, supplier or other Person who derives any of its purchases or revenues (other than any fee the Independent Manager or the entity which employs the Independent Manager receives from (i) serving as an Independent Manager of the Company; or (ii) normal corporate services) from its activities with the Company; (c) a Person or other entity Controlling or under common Control with any such Person described in (a) or (b) above; or (d) a member of the immediate family of any such 11 officer, director, employee, partner, manager, member, stockholder, or beneficial-interest holder of the Company or creditor, customer, supplier or special member of the Company. A natural person who satisfies the foregoing definition other than subparagraph (b) shall not be disqualified from serving as an Independent Manager of the Company if such individual is an independent director provided by a nationally recognized company that provides professional independent managers/directors (a "Professional Independent Director") and it also provides other corporate services in the ordinary course of its business. A natural person who otherwise satisfies the foregoing definition except for being the independent director of a "special purpose entity" affiliated with the Company that does not own a direct or indirect equity interest in the Company or any co-borrower shall not be disqualified from serving as an Independent Manager of the Company if such individual is either (i) a Professional Independent Director or (ii) the fees that such individual earns from serving as independent director of Affiliates of the Company constitute in the aggregate less than five percent (5%) of such individual's annual income. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, an Independent Manager may not simultaneously serve as Independent Manager of the Company and independent director of a special purpose entity that owns a direct or indirect equity interest in the Company or in any co-borrower with the Company. For purposes of this paragraph, a "special purpose entity" is an entity, whose organizational documents contain restrictions on its activities and impose requirements intended to preserve the Company's separateness that are substantially similar to those of the Company. 14. Limited Liability. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall be the debts, obligations and liabilities solely of the Company, and none of the Member nor any partner thereof, any Special Member or any Independent Manager shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Member, Special Member or Independent Manager of the Company. 15. Capital Contributions. The Member has a one hundred percent (100%) limited liability company interest in the Company. The Member shall, within ten (10) days following its execution of this Agreement, make a capital contribution to the Company of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00). 16. Additional Contributions. The Member is not required to make any additional capital contributions to the Company. However, the Member may make additional capital contributions to the Company at any time. The provisions of this Section 16 are intended solely to benefit the Member and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not be construed as conferring any benefit upon any creditor of the Company (and no such creditor of the Company shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement) and the Member and the Special Members shall not have any duty or obligation to any creditor of the Company to make any contribution to the Company or to issue any call for capital pursuant to this Agreement. In the event Member pays any amount to Lender pursuant to the terms of the Guaranty given by the Member, as guarantor, or any other covenant under the Loan Documents given by Member for the benefit of Lender in connection with the Indebtedness, and which reduces the outstanding amount of the Indebtedness, such amount shall be deemed to be a contribution to the capital of the Company made by the Member. 12 17. Tax Status. It is intended that the Company, solely for tax purposes, shall be disregarded as an entity separate from its Member for federal, state and local income tax purposes. 18. Distributions. Distributions shall be made to the Member at the times and in the aggregate amounts determined by the Member. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to make a distribution to the Member on account of its interest in the Company if such distribution would violate Section 18-607 of the Act or any other applicable law, or constitute a default under the Loan Documents. Any payments made pursuant to the Loan Documents to or for the benefit of the Member, in its future capacity as a mezzanine borrower, shall constitute distributions to or at the direction of the Member. 19. Books and Records. The Member shall keep or cause to be kept complete and accurate books of account and records with respect to the Company's business. The books of the Company shall at all times be maintained by the Member. The Member and its duly authorized representatives shall have the right to examine the Company books, records and documents during normal business hours. The Company's books of account shall be kept using the method of accounting determined by the Member. The Company's independent auditor shall be an independent public accounting firm selected by the Member. 20. Reports. a. The Company shall cause to be prepared, at the Company's expense, such financial reports and other information as the Member may determine are appropriate or necessary. b. If required, the Member shall cause the accountants of the Company to prepare all federal, state and local tax returns required of the Company, submit those returns to the Member for its approval no later than thirty (30) calendar days prior to the date required for the filing thereof (including any extensions granted) and will cause the tax returns to be filed after they have been approved by the Member. c. All decisions as to accounting principles shall be made by the Member, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. 21. Other Business. The Special Members and any Affiliate of the Member may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures (unconnected with the Company) of every kind and description, independently or with others notwithstanding any provision to the contrary at law or at equity. The Company shall not have any rights in or to such independent ventures or the income or profits therefrom by virtue of this Agreement. Neither the Member nor any Special Member nor any Manager shall have the right, power or authority to bind the Company, the Member or any partner in Member in connection with any other business or transaction which is not within the scope of the purpose of the Company as set forth herein. 13 22. Exculpation and Indemnification. a. No Member, Special Member, Independent Manager, employee, agent or Affiliate of the Company and no direct or indirect employee, representative, partner, agent or Affiliate of the Member (collectively, the "Covered Persons") shall be liable to the Company or any other Person who has an interest in or claim against the Company for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement excepting a Covered Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Covered Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct. b. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a Covered Person shall be entitled to indemnification from the Company for any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, except that no Covered Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of such Covered Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions; provided, however, that any indemnity under this Section 22 shall be provided out of and to the extent of the Company assets only, and no Member or Independent Manager shall have personal liability on account thereof; and provided further, that so long as any Indebtedness is outstanding, indemnification payments under this Section 22 (including without limitation any payments made under Section 22(c)) shall be fully subordinated to any obligations respecting the Property and no indemnity payment from funds of the Company (as distinct from funds from other sources, such as insurance) of any indemnity under this Section 22 shall be payable from amounts allocable to any other Person pursuant to the Loan Documents and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not constitute a claim against the Company if there is otherwise insufficient cash flow to pay such obligations. c. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and subject to Section 22(b) above, expenses (including legal fees) incurred by a Covered Person defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized by this Section 22. d. A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any Person as to matters the Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other Person's professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company, including information, opinions, 14 reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to the Member might properly be paid. e. To the extent that, at law or in equity, a Covered Person has duties, including fiduciary duties, and liabilities relating thereto to the Company or to any other Covered Person, a Covered Person acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Company or to any other Covered Person for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement or any approval or authorization granted by the Company or any other Covered Person. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Member and the Special Members to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person. f. The foregoing provisions of this Section 22 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. 23. Transfers. (a) The transfer of any direct or indirect limited liability company ownership interest in the Company must be made in accordance with the Loan Documents. Any such transfer in violation of the terms of this Agreement or the Loan Documents shall be void and of no effect. If the Member transfers all of its membership interest in the Company pursuant to this Section 23 and in accordance with the Loan Documents, the transferee shall be admitted to the Company as a member of the Company upon its execution of an instrument signifying its agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which instrument may be a counterpart signature page to this Agreement. Such admission shall be deemed effective immediately prior to the transfer and, immediately following such admission, the transferor Member shall cease to be a member of the Company. (b) Upon a foreclosure, sale or other transfer of the limited liability company interests in the Company pursuant to a future pledge and security agreement, (the "Mezzanine Pledge Agreement"), among Member and Mezzanine Lender (defined below), the holder of such limited liability company interests shall, upon the execution of a counterpart to this Agreement, automatically be admitted as member of the Company upon such foreclosure, sale or other transfer, with all of the rights and obligations of the Member hereunder, subject to the limitations on transferability of such interests as described in this Section 23. The Company acknowledges that a pledge of the membership interest in the Company made by the Member in connection with the Mezzanine Pledge Agreement shall be a pledge not only of profits and losses of the Company, but also a pledge of all rights and obligations of the Member. Upon a foreclosure, sale or other transfer of the limited liability company interests of the Company pursuant to the Mezzanine Pledge Agreement, the successor Member may transfer its interests in the Company, subject to this Section 23. Notwithstanding any provision in the Act or any other provision contained herein to the contrary, the 15 Member shall be permitted to pledge and, upon any foreclosure of such pledge in connection with the admission of the Mezzanine Lender as a member, to transfer to the Mezzanine Lender its rights and powers to manage and control the affairs of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Mezzanine Pledge Agreement. Upon the exercise of its rights under the Mezzanine Pledge Agreement, the Mezzanine Lender shall have, among its other powers, the right to appoint and remove Independent Managers pursuant to the terms of Sections 11 and 12 herein. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Member shall not, without the prior written consent of the Mezzanine Lender, if any, issue and shall not permit the issuance of any additional limited liability company interests of the Company other than its initial issuance of limited liability company interests issued on or prior to the date of this Agreement. (d) Notwithstanding any provision in the Act or any other provision contained herein to the contrary, all limited liability company interests or shares issued by the Company are not and shall not become securities governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code, see U.C.C. ss.8-103(c) (revised 1994 as in effect from time to time in the State of Delaware and any other applicable jurisdiction). For the purposes of this Section 23, "Mezzanine Lender" means any future mezzanine lender, its successors and assigns entering into a loan with a Member as borrower pursuant to which such Member pledges to the mezzanine lender all of its membership interest in the Company. 24. Admission of Additional Members. Subject to the terms of Section 23, one or more additional members of the Company may be admitted to the Company with the written consent of the Member; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as any Indebtedness remains outstanding, no additional members may be admitted to the Company, other than the Substitute Member or the Special Member, unless there is a transfer of 100% of the membership interest to a single entity in accordance with Section 23. In addition, any such admission pursuant to this Section 24 to the extent applicable must be made in accordance with the Loan Documents. 25. Dissolution. a. Subject to Section 11(d), the Company shall be dissolved, and its affairs shall be wound up upon the first to occur of the following: (i) the termination of the legal existence of the last remaining member of the Company or the occurrence of any other event which terminates the continued membership of the last remaining member of the Company in the Company unless the business of the Company is continued in a manner required under Section 6(a)(iii) or this Section 25 or permitted by this Agreement or the Act; or (ii) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act. Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the last remaining member of the Company to cease to be a member of the Company or the Member to cease to be a member of the Company (other than upon an assignment by the Member of all of its limited liability company interest 16 in the Company and the admission of the transferee pursuant to Sections 23 and 24), to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of such member is hereby authorized to, and shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such member of the Company, agree in writing (i) to continue the Company; and (ii) to the admission of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a Substitute Member of the Company, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such member of the Company in the Company. b. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Bankruptcy of the Member or the Special Member shall not cause the Member or such Special Member to cease to be a member of the Company and upon the occurrence of such an event, the business of the Company shall continue without dissolution. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Member waives any right it might have to agree in writing to dissolve the Company upon the Bankruptcy of the Member or the occurrence of any other event that causes such Member to cease to be a member of the Company. "Bankruptcy" means, with respect to the Member or the Special Member, if the Member or a Special Member (i) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy; (iii) is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or has entered against itself an order for relief, in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; (iv) files a petition or answer seeking for itself any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, or similar relief under any statute, law or regulation; (v) files an answer or other pleading admitting or failing to contest the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any proceeding of this nature; (vi) seeks, consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of a trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Person or of all or any substantial part of its properties; or (vii) 120 days after the commencement of any proceeding against the Person seeking reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, or similar relief under any statute, law or regulation, if the proceeding has not been dismissed, or if within 90 days after the appointment, without the Person's consent or acquiescence, of a trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Person or of all or any substantial part of its properties, the appointment is not vacated or stayed, or within 90 days after the expiration of any such stay, the appointment is not vacated. With respect to any Person, the foregoing definition of "Bankruptcy" is intended to replace and shall supersede the definition of "bankruptcy" set forth in Sections 18-101(1) and 18-304 of the Act. c. In the event of dissolution, the Company shall conduct only such activities as are necessary to wind up its affairs (including the sale of the assets of the Company in an orderly manner), and the assets of the Company shall be applied in the manner, and in the order of priority, set forth in Section 18-804 of the Act; provided, however, if at such time (i) any Indebtedness is outstanding and (ii) the Company has not been released from its obligations with respect to such Indebtedness in accordance with the Loan Documents, then, to the extent permissible by applicable law, the Company shall not liquidate the Property without first obtaining the approval of the mortgagee holding the Mortgage or any other mortgagee holding first priority liens on any portion of the Property. Such 17 mortgagees may continue to exercise all of their rights under the existing security instruments or agreements until the Indebtedness has been fully paid or discharged. d. The Company shall terminate when (i) all of the assets of the Company, after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company shall have been distributed to the Member in the manner provided for in this Agreement; and (ii) the Certificate of Formation shall have been canceled in the manner required by the Act. 26. Waiver of Partition; Nature of Interest. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Member and the Independent Managers hereby irrevocably waive any right or power that such Member or the Independent Managers might have to cause the Company or any of its assets to be partitioned, to cause the appointment of a receiver for all or any portion of the assets of the Company, to compel any sale of all or any portion of the assets of the Company pursuant to any applicable law or to file a complaint or to institute any proceeding at law or in equity to cause the dissolution, liquidation, winding up or termination of the Company. No Member shall have any interest in any specific asset of the Company, and no Member shall have the status of a creditor with respect to any distribution pursuant to Section 18 hereof. The interest of the Member in the Company is personal property. 27. Benefits of Agreement; No Third-Party Rights. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any creditor of the Company or by any creditor of the Member other than (i) the Special Purpose Provisions, which shall be for the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns; and (ii) Section 34 which shall be for the benefit of each Independent Manager. Subject to the Special Purpose Provisions, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create any right in any Person (other than Covered Persons) not a party hereto, and this Agreement shall not be construed in any respect to be a contract in whole or in part for the benefit of any third Person. 28. Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be considered severable and if for any reason any provision or provisions herein are determined to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal under any existing or future law, such invalidity, unenforceability or illegality shall not impair the operation of or affect those portions of this Agreement which are valid, enforceable and legal. 29. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. 30. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to conflict of laws principles), all rights and remedies being governed by said laws. 31. Amendments. Subject to Section 11(d) and 11(e), this Agreement may not be modified, altered, supplemented or amended except pursuant to a written agreement executed and delivered by the Member. Subject to Section 11(d) and 11(e), so long as any Indebtedness is outstanding, this Agreement may not be 18 modified, altered, supplemented or amended unless the Lender under the Loan Documents consents and, to the extent the Indebtedness has been securitized, the related rating agencies have delivered written confirmation that such changes will not result in the qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any ratings assigned to the related securities, except: (i) to cure any ambiguity or (ii) to appoint a successor Independent Manager pursuant to Section 12. 32. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original of this Agreement and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 33. Notices. Any notices required to be delivered hereunder shall be in writing and personally delivered, mailed or sent by telecopy, electronic mail, or other similar form of rapid transmission, and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt (a) in the case of the Company, to the Company at its address set forth in Section 3; (b) in the case of the Member, to the Member at its address as listed on Schedule A attached hereto; and (c) in the case of either of the foregoing, at such other address as may be designated by written notice to the other party. 34.

ARTICLE III THE CREDIT ---------- 2.1 Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lenders severally agree to make a single initial Advance through the Administrative Agent to Borrower in the amount of the Aggregate Commitment. Each Lender shall fund its Percentage of such initial Advance and no Lender will be required to fund any amounts which would exceed such Lender's Commitment. This facility ("Facility") is not a revolving credit facility and, therefore, notwithstanding repayment of all or any portion of such Advance, the Borrower shall have no right to reborrow Advances thereafter. For convenience, portions of such single initial disbursement bearing different interest rates are referred to herein as "Advances" but such reference shall not be deemed in any way to create such a revolving credit facility. 2.2 Ratable Advances. The initial Advance hereunder shall consist of Loans made from the several Lenders ratably in proportion to the ratio their respective Commitments bear to the Aggregate Commitment and may be Floating Rate Advances, LIBOR Rate Advances or a combination thereof, selected by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.7. 2.3 Final Principal Payment. Any outstanding Advances and all other unpaid Obligations shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the Facility Termination Date. 2.4 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay an upfront fee to the Administrative Agent on the date of the initial Advance equal to sixty one hundredth of one percent (0.6%) of the Aggregate Commitment. 2.5 Intentionally Omitted. 2.6 Optional Prepayments; Mandatory Prepayments. (a) The Borrower may, upon at least one (1) Business Day's notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay all or any portion of the Advances, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of LIBOR Rate Advances or Floating Rate Advances, or a combination thereof, and if a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each; provided, however, that (i) any partial prepayment under this Subsection shall be in an amount not less than $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and; (ii) any LIBOR Rate Advance prepaid on any day other than the last day of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period must be accompanied by any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.4. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.4. (b) If GPLP shall either replace the GPLP Revolver with a new facility or amend and restate the GPLP Revolver to increase the aggregate commitment available thereunder, then, the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment -12- of the Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce the outstanding Advances hereunder to $25,000,000 or less upon the date of such a replacement or amendment and restatement. The failure of the Borrower to make any prepayment as required under this subsection shall constitute a Default under this Agreement. Each prepayment required to be made under this subsection shall include any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.4. Such prepayment shall be of applied first to Floating Rate Advances, and then to LIBOR Rate Advances. 2.7 Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods.

The Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent's aforesaid address. No Interest Period may end after the Facility Termination Date and, unless the Lenders otherwise agree in writing, in no event may there be more than six (6) different Interest Periods for LIBOR Rate Advances outstanding at any one time. 2.8 Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances. Floating Rate Advances shall continue as Floating Rate Advances unless and until such Floating Rate Advances are converted into LIBOR Rate Advances.

Subject to the terms of Section 2.5, the Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of an Advance of any Type into any other Type or Types of Advances; provided that any conversion of any LIBOR Rate Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Each Floating Rate Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made or is converted from a LIBOR Rate Advance into a Floating Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.8 to but excluding the date it becomes due or is converted into a LIBOR Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.8 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each LIBOR Rate Advance shall bear interest from and including the first day of the LIBOR Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such LIBOR Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such LIBOR Rate Advance. 2.10 Rates Applicable After Default.

As provided elsewhere herein, all Lenders' interests in the Advances and the Loan Documents shall be ratable undivided interests and none of such Lenders' interests shall have priority over the others. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender or amount to be applied or paid by the Administrative Agent to any Lender shall be paid promptly (on the same day as received by the Administrative Agent if received -14- prior to noon (Cleveland time) on such day and otherwise on the next Business Day) by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender. Payments received by the Administrative Agent but not timely funded to the Lenders shall bear interest payable by the Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Effective Rate from the date due until the date paid. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of the Borrower maintained with KeyBank for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder. 2.12 Notes; Telephonic Notices. Each Lender is hereby authorized to record the principal amount of each of its Loans and each repayment on the schedule attached to its Note, provided, however, that the failure to so record shall not affect the Borrower's obligations under such Note. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on written notices made by any Authorized Officer and Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent such written notice. The Administrative Agent will at the request of the Borrower, from time to time, but not more often than monthly, provide notice of the amount of the outstanding Aggregate Commitment, the Type of Advance, and the applicable interest rate, if for a LIBOR Rate Advance.

If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment. 2.14 Notification of Advances, Interest Rates and Prepayments. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received by it hereunder not later than the close of business on the Business Day such notice is received by the Administrative Agent.

Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the -15- time at which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day or (ii) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan. If such Lender so repays such amount and interest thereon to the Administrative Agent within one Business Day after such demand, all interest accruing on the Loan not funded by such Lender during such period shall be payable to such Lender when received from the Borrower. 2.17 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender which (a) is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax pursuant to Section 3.5, or (b) cannot maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans at a suitable Lending Installation pursuant to Section 3.3, with a replacement bank or other financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any applicable legal or regulatory requirements affecting the Lenders, (ii) no Default or (after notice thereof to the Borrower) no Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the Borrower shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Sections 3.4 and 3.6 if any LIBOR Rate Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be prepaid (or purchased) other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.3 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the processing fee referred to therein), (vii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 3.5 and (viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. 2.18 Usury . This Agreement and each Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject any Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the interest rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding. -16- ARTICLE III CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES ----------------------- 3.1 Yield Protection. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or applicable Lending Installation with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency: (i) subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to any Taxes, or changes the basis of taxation of payments (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes) to any Lender in respect of its LIBOR Rate Loans, or (ii) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation (other than the Reserve Requirement and any other reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to LIBOR Rate Advances), or (iii) imposes any other condition the direct result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of making, funding or maintaining its LIBOR Rate Loans, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation in connection with its LIBOR Rate Loans, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of LIBOR Rate Loans, by a material amount. and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or applicable Lending Installation, as the case may be, of making or maintaining its LIBOR Rate Loans or Commitment or to reduce the return received by such Lender or applicable Lending Installation in connection with such LIBOR Rate Loans or Commitment, then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount received. 3.2 Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender in good faith determines the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender is increased as a result of a Change (as hereinafter defined), then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender in good faith determines is attributable to this Agreement, its outstanding credit exposure hereunder or its obligation to make Loans hereunder (after taking into account such Lender's policies as to capital adequacy). "Change" means (i) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines (as hereinafter defined) or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of this Agreement which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Lending Installation or any corporation -17- controlling any Lender. "Risk-Based Capital Guidelines" means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices Entitled "International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards," including transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement. 3.3 Availability of Types of Advances. If any Lender in good faith determines that maintenance of any of its LIBOR Rate Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive, whether or not having the force of law, the Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower, suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance and require any LIBOR Rate Advances of the affected Type to be repaid; or if the Required Lenders in good faith determine that (i) deposits of a type or maturity appropriate to match fund LIBOR Rate Advances are not available, the Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower, suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance with respect to any LIBOR Rate Advances made after the date of any such determination, or (ii) an interest rate applicable to a Type of Advance does not accurately reflect the cost of making a LIBOR Rate Advance of such Type, then, if for any reason whatsoever the provisions of Section 3.1 are inapplicable, the Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower, suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance with respect to any LIBOR Rate Advances made after the date of any such determination. If the Borrower is required to so repay a LIBOR Rate Advance, the Borrower may concurrently with such repayment borrow from the Lenders, in the amount of such repayment, a Loan bearing interest at the Floating Rate. 3.4 Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a ratable LIBOR Rate Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a ratable LIBOR Rate Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders or as a result of unavailability pursuant to Section 3.3, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost (incurred or expected to be incurred) in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the ratable LIBOR Rate Advance and shall pay all such losses or costs within fifteen (15) days after written demand therefor. 3.5 Taxes. (i) All payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes. If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (a) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (c) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and (d) the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made. -18- (ii) In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note ("Other Taxes"). (iii) The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.5) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.6. (iv) Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (each a "Non-U.S. Lender") agrees that it will, not more than ten Business Days after the Agreement Execution Date, (i) deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (ii) deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a United States Internal Revenue Form W-8 or W-9, as the case may be, and certify that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax. (v) For any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with an appropriate form pursuant to clause (iv), above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States. (vi) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note pursuant to the law of any relevant jurisdiction -19- or any treaty shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate following receipt of such documentation. (vii) If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental authority of the United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, together with all costs and expenses related thereto (including attorneys fees and time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent). The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 3.5(vii) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement and any such Lender obligated to indemnify the Administrative Agent shall not be entitled to indemnification from the Borrower with respect to such amounts, whether pursuant to this Article or otherwise, except to the extent the Borrower participated in the actions giving rise to such liability. 3.6 Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its LIBOR Rate Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of LIBOR Rate Advances under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its LIBOR Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the LIBOR Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of such written statement. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrower, the Lenders or any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (ii) any determination by the Administrative Agent that compliance with any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, order, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) requires the Advances and Commitments hereunder to be classified as being part of a "highly leveraged transaction". 10.4 No Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each Lender; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (v) the value, sufficiency, creation, perfection, or priority of any interest in any collateral security; or (vi) the financial condition of the Borrower or any Guarantor. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to disclose to the Lenders information that is not required to be furnished by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent at such time, but is voluntarily furnished by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (either in its capacity as Administrative Agent or in its individual capacity). 10.5 Action on Instructions of Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the required percentage of the Lenders needed to take such action or refrain from taking such action, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders. The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. 10.6 Employment of Agents and Counsel. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties as Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to the agency hereby created and its duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document. 10.7 Reliance on Documents; Counsel. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Administrative Agent. -39- 10.8 Administrative Agent's Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents, if not paid by Borrower and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including without limitation, for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders), or the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct or a breach of the Administrative Agent's express obligations and undertakings to the Lenders. The obligations of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this Section 10.8 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement. 10.9 Rights as a Lender. In the event the Administrative Agent is a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, at any time when the Administrative Agent is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person. 10.10 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 10.11 Successor Administrative Agent. Except as otherwise provided below, KeyBank National Association shall at all times serve as the Administrative Agent during the term of this Facility. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent has been grossly negligent in the performance of its obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time by written notice received by the Administrative Agent from all other Lenders, such removal to be effective on the date specified by the other Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within thirty days after the resigning Administrative Agent's giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Administrative Agent shall appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Administrative -40- Agent may at any time without the consent of the Borrower or any Lender, appoint any of its Affiliates which is a commercial bank as a successor Administrative Agent hereunder. No successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Administrative Agent has accepted the appointment. Any such successor Administrative Agent shall be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning or removed Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of an Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. 10.12 Notice of Defaults. If a Lender becomes aware of a Default or Unmatured Default, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact provided that the failure to give such notice shall not create liability on the part of a Lender. Upon receipt of such notice that a Default or Unmatured Default has occurred, the Administrative Agent shall notify each of the Lenders of such fact. 10.13 Requests for Approval. If the Administrative Agent requests in writing the consent or approval of a Lender, such Lender shall respond and either approve or disapprove definitively in writing to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days (or sooner if such notice specifies a shorter period for responses based on Administrative Agent's good faith determination that circumstances exist warranting its request for an earlier response) after such written request from the Administrative Agent. If the Lender does not so respond, that Lender shall be deemed to have approved the request. 10.14 Defaulting Lenders. At such time as a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender's right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of the Required Lenders, each affected Lender or all Lenders shall be immediately suspended until such time as the Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, except that the amount of the Commitment of the Defaulting Lender may not be changed without its consent. If a Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its pro rata share of any Advance and until such time as such Defaulting Lender subsequently funds its pro rata share of such Advance, all Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be subordinated in right of payment, as provided in the following sentence, to the prior payment in full of all principal of, interest on and fees relating to the Loans funded by the other Lenders in connection with any such Advance in which the Defaulting Lender has not funded its pro rata share (such principal, interest and fees being referred to as "Senior Loans" for the purposes of this section). All amounts paid by the Borrower, the Parent Entities or the Guarantors and otherwise due to be applied to the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms hereof shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the other Lenders in accordance with their respective pro rata shares (recalculated for the purposes hereof to exclude the Defaulting Lender) until all Senior Loans have been paid in full provided, however, in no event will any such distribution to the other Lenders give rise to any liability of the Borrower to the Defaulting Lender. After the Senior Loans have been paid in full equitable adjustments will be made in connection with future payments by the Borrower to the extent a portion of the Senior Loans had been repaid with amounts that otherwise would have been distributed to a Defaulting Lender but for the operation of this Section 10.14. This provision governs only the relationship among the Administrative Agent, each Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders; nothing hereunder shall limit the obligation of the Borrower to -41- repay all Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The provisions of this section shall apply and be effective regardless of whether a Default occurs and is continuing, and notwithstanding (i) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (ii) any instruction of the Borrower as to its desired application of payments or (iii) the suspension of such Defaulting Lender's right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of the Required Lenders or all Lenders. ARTICLE XI RELEASE OF PORTION OF COLLATERAL ASSET -------------------------------------- 11.1 Transfer. Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and remain uncured and provided Borrower desires to transfer the Expansion Parcel for commercial purposes compatible with the use and operation of the Property as a regional shopping center, Borrower shall have the right from time to time prior to the Facility Termination Date to obtain a release of the lien of the Mortgage (and related Loan Documents) as to the Expansion Parcel and to modify the Ground Lease (as such term is defined in the Mortgage) or assign a portion thereof so as to exclude the Expansion Parcel from the premises demised thereby upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent: (i) Borrower shall provide Administrative Agent not less than thirty (30) days notice (or a shorter period of time if permitted by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) specifying the date (the "Expansion Date") on which the partial release is to occur provided, however, that Borrower may postpone the Expansion Date from time to time as long as the extended date is at least ten (10) Business Days after notice of such extension; (ii) Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent evidence that Borrower has complied with all requirements of and obtained all approvals required under any leases of the Collateral Asset and any operating agreements applicable to the release of the Expansion Parcel and that the partial release does not violate any of the provisions of such leases and operating agreements including, without limitation, provisions relating to the availability of parking at the Collateral Asset provided, however, that an Authorized Officer's certificate to that effect shall be sufficient evidence of such compliance and obtaining of such approvals as to tenants which are not Major Tenants; (iii) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender (A) at Borrower's option, (x) an endorsement to the Lenders' title insurance policy, (y) an opinion of counsel (from counsel reasonably to Administrative Agent) or (z) a certificate of an architect (from an architect reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent and licensed to practice in Kansas) indicating that the Expansion Parcel has been legally subdivided for zoning lot purposes from the remainder of the Collateral Asset pursuant to a zoning lot subdivision in accordance with applicable law, (B) at Borrower's option (x) an endorsement to the Lenders' title insurance policy, (y) an opinion of counsel (from counsel reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent) or (z) a certificate of an architect (from an architect reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent and licensed to practice in Kansas) indicating -42- that the balance of the Collateral Asset separately conforms to and is in material compliance with all applicable legal requirements and constitutes one or more separate tax lots, (C) a certificate from an architect or engineer licensed to practice in Kansas and reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent to the effect that the Expansion Parcel is not necessary for the uses of the remainder of the Collateral Asset, including, without limitation, for support, access, driveways, parking, utilities, drainage flows or any other purpose, (after giving effect to any easements therefor reserved over the Expansion Parcel for the benefit of the remainder of the Collateral Asset) and (D) an Authorized Officer's certificate with supporting documentation indicating that either (y) sufficient parking remains on the remainder of the Collateral Asset to comply with all leases of such remainder and with all operating agreements and which is adequate for the proper use and enjoyment of the balance of the Collateral Asset; or (z) reservations of parking spaces (in favor of such remainder) in the Expansion Parcel are sufficient (when added to parking otherwise available to the remainder) to comply with all leases of such remainder and with all operating agreements and which are adequate for the proper use and enjoyment of the remainder of the Collateral Asset; (iv) Borrower shall have delivered a metes and bounds description of the Expansion Parcel and a survey of the Expansion Parcel and the remainder of the Property which would be standard in commercial lending transactions; (v) Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent on the date of the release an endorsement to the policy or policies of title insurance insuring the Mortgage reflecting the release and (A) insuring Lenders' interest in any easements created in connection with the release, (B) extending the effective date of the policy or policies to the effective date of the release, and (C) confirming no change in the priority of the Mortgage on the remainder of the Collateral Asset or in the amount of the insurance or the coverage under the policy or policies; and (vi) Borrower shall pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Administrative Agent incurred in connection with the partial release, including its reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. 11.2 Release. If Borrower has elected to release the Expansion Parcel and the requirements of this Article 11 have been satisfied, the Expansion Parcel shall be released from the Lien of the Mortgage (and related Loan Documents) and the Ground Lease modification or partial assignment may be executed. In connection with the release of the Lien, Borrower shall submit to Administrative Agent, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Expansion Date (or such shorter time as is acceptable to Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for execution by Administrative Agent. Such release and consent and subordination shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the Collateral Asset is located and shall contain standard provisions protecting the rights of a releasing lender. In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Administrative Agent reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release, together with an Authorized Officer's certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all legal requirements, and (ii) will effect such release in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrower shall pay all costs, taxes and expenses associated with the release of the Lien of the Mortgage, including Administrative Agent's reasonable attorneys' fees. Borrower shall cause leasehold title to the Expansion Parcel so released from the Lien of the Mortgage to be transferred to and held by a Person other than Borrower. 11.3 Subdivision Alternative. If Borrower is unable to legally subdivide the Expansion Parcel from the remainder of the Collateral Asset, or if Borrower desires to enter into a ground sublease in lieu of conveying leasehold title to -43- the Expansion Parcel, Borrower shall have the right to sublease the Expansion Parcel to a Person other than Borrower in lieu of such conveyance and Administrative Agent shall subordinate the Lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to such sublease, provided (A) Borrower complies with all of the conditions to release set forth in this Article 11 other than the requirements that such Expansion Parcel be legally subdivided from the remainder of the Collateral Asset, (B) the request for such ground sublease shall be accompanied by, at Borrower's option, (1) an endorsement to the title insurance policy, (2) an opinion of counsel (from counsel reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent) or (3) an architect's or surveyor's certificate from an architect or surveyor reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent and licensed in Kansas, stating that a subdivision is not required in order for the remainder of the Collateral Asset to comply with the legal requirements after the commencement of the ground sublease, (C) Borrower delivers evidence to Administrative Agent indicating that either (1) financing is available from a reliable funding source to fund the cost of the improvements to be constructed on the Expansion Parcel or (2) the tenant has sufficient financial wherewithal to pay for the cost of construction of such improvements, (D) such ground sublease shall contain the following provisions: (1) the Expansion Parcel shall not be used for any purpose other than that which is compatible with the regional shopping center at the Collateral Asset, (2) the ground sublease shall require that the tenant be responsible for construction of improvements (however, Borrower, as the landlord thereunder, may be responsible for construction of the improvements provided that Borrower complies with the applicable provisions of the Mortgage), all allocable taxes and all insurance, maintenance, utility, repair and other similar obligations with respect to the tenant's improvements, (3) the tenant shall be required to restore the demised premises in the case of casualty and condemnation to a safe and habitable condition and/or to remove any damaged structures or debris therefrom so as to leave the demised premises in a safe condition, and (4) the tenant shall discharge (unless the same have been bonded or otherwise secured to Administrative Agent's satisfaction) within thirty (30) days any mechanic's lien filed against the demised premises by reason of the acts of the tenant or Persons claiming by, through or under the tenant. Such ground sublease may permit the tenant to procure mortgage financing secured by the leasehold estate created thereby and such ground lease will contain no provisions which are inconsistent with Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents or which would be unacceptable to a prudent lender subordinating its mortgage to same (including any provisions which are materially detrimental to the interests of such lender). ARTICLE XII BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS ------------------------------------------------- 12.1 Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.3. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of this Section 12.1 relates only to absolute assignments and does not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, (x) any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank or (y) in the case of a Lender which is a fund, any pledge or assignment of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 12.3. The Administrative Agent and Borrower may treat the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note as the owner thereof for all -44- purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 12.3; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent and Borrower may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note to direct payments relating to such Loan or Note to another Person. Any assignee of the rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan. 12.2 Participations. 12.2.1 Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions, pension funds, or any other funds or entities ("Participants") participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. 12.2.2 Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Loan or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which would require consent of all the Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 8.2 or of any other Loan Document. 12.3 Assignments. 12.3.1 Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time assign to any of such Lender's affiliates or to one or more banks, financial institutions or pension funds, or with the prior approval of the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, any other entity ("Purchasers") all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents provided that any assignment of only a portion of such rights and obligations shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000. In addition, KeyBank National Association agrees that it will not assign any portion of its Commitment or Commitments of its affiliates, if such assignment will result in the amount of the Commitment to be held by KeyBank National Association and its affiliates to be less than the next highest Commitment amount held by any other Lender provided that no Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no approval of the Borrower shall be required for any such assignment if a Default has occurred and is then continuing. Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto or in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto. The consent of the Administrative Agent shall be -45- required prior to an assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate thereof. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 12.3.2 Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to the Administrative Agent and Borrower of a notice of assignment, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit "I" to Exhibit D hereto (a "Notice of Assignment"), together with any consents required by Section 12.3.1, and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee by the assignor or assignee to the Administrative Agent for processing such assignment, such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such Notice of Assignment. The Notice of Assignment shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitment and Loans under the applicable assignment agreement are "plan assets" as defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not be "plan assets" under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no further consent or action by the Borrower, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall be required to release the transferor Lender, and the transferor Lender shall automatically be released on the effective date of such assignment, with respect to the percentage of the Aggregate Commitment and Loans assigned to such Purchaser. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 12.3.2, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their Commitment, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment. 12.4 Dissemination of Information. The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a "Transferee") and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender's possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, subject to Section 9.11 of this Agreement. 12.5 Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5.

KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION NAME OF ASSIGNEE By:________________________________ By:____________________________________ Title:_____________________________ Title:_________________________________ ACKNOWLEDGED AND, IF REQUIRED BY THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, CONSENTED TO BY KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Agent By:________________________________ Title:_____________________________ [Attach photocopy of Schedule 1 to Assignment] EXHIBIT D --------- SITE PLAN OF EXPANSION PARCEL ----------------------------- D-1 EXHIBIT E --------- ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATION SPECIFICATIONS AND PROCEDURES --------------------------------------------------------- Phase I Environmental Site Assessments to be prepared in accordance with the ASTM Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process (ASTM Designation E1527-94), a summary of which follows: This ASTM practice is generally considered the industry standard for conducting a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA). The purpose of this standard is to "define good commercial and customary practice in the United States of America for conducting an ESA of a parcel of commercial real estate with respect to the range of contaminants within the scope of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and petroleum products." The ASTM Phase I ESA is intended to permit a user to satisfy one of the requirements to qualify for the innocent landowner defense to CERCLA liability; that is, the practice that constitutes "all appropriate inquiry into the previous ownership and uses of the property consistent with good commercial or customary practices" as defined in 42 USC 9601(35)(B). The goal of the ASTM Phase I ESA is to identify "recognized environmental conditions." Recognized environmental conditions means the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products on a property under conditions that indicate an existing release, a past release, or a material threat of a release of any hazardous substances or petroleum products into structures on the property or into the ground, groundwater, or surface water of the property. The term includes hazardous substances or petroleum products even under conditions in compliance with laws. The term is not intended to include de minimus conditions that generally would not be the subject of an enforcement action if brought to the attention of appropriate governmental agencies. The ASTM standard indicates that a Phase I ESA should consist of four main components: 1) Records Review; 2) Site Reconnaissance; 3) Interviews; and 4) Report. The purpose of the records review is to obtain and review records that will help identify recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property. The site reconnaissance involves physical observation of the property's exterior and interior, as well as an observation of adjoining properties. Interviews with previous and current owners and occupants, and local government officials provides insight into the presence or absence of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property. The final component of the ESA, the report, contains the findings of the ESA and conclusions regarding the presence or absence of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property. It includes documentation to support the analysis, opinions, and conclusions found in the report. While the use of this practice is intended to constitute appropriate inquiry for purposes of CERCLA's innocent landowner defense, it is not intended that its use be limited to that purpose. The ASTM standard is intended to be an approach to conducting an inquiry designed to identify recognized environmental conditions in connection with a property, and environmental site assessments. E-1 EXHIBIT F --------- FORM OF OPINION OF BORROWER'S COUNSEL ------------------------------------- ________, 2006 KeyBank, as Administrative Agent for the Lenders 127 Public Square, 8th Floor Cleveland, Ohio Re: $30,000,000 Term Loan to Glimcher Properties Limited Partnership and GM Olathe, LLC (collectively, the "Borrower") Ladies and Gentlemen: We have acted as counsel for the Borrower in connection with a $30,000,000 secured term loan , (the "Loan"), which Loan is being made pursuant to that certain Term Loan Agreement dated as of January __, 2006 (the "Loan Agreement") between Borrower, KeyBank and the several lenders from time to time parties thereto (collectively, the "Lenders"), and KeyBank, as Administrative Agent (the "Agent"). In connection with the Loan we have been furnished with originals or copies certified to our satisfaction of the partnership agreements and certificates of limited partnership, and Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the general partners of the entities comprising the Borrower (as defined in the Loan Agreement), and all such corporate and other records of the Borrower and the Parent Entities, with such declarations and agreements, and certificates of officers and representatives of the Borrower, with such other documents, and we have made such other examinations and investigations as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below. We have examined the originals of the following documents, each of which is addressed to the Lender or to which the Lender is a party (all of which are sometimes collectively referred to as the "Loan Documents"): 1. The Loan Agreement; and 2. [describe promissory notes and other Loan Documents]. Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that: 1. The entities comprising the Borrower include a limited liability company and a limited partnership, both duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Borrower has all requisite power and authority to own its properties, carry on its business and to deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents. 2. Each of the general partners of Borrower is a corporation or trust duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Each of the general partners of Borrower has all requisite power and authority to own its properties, carry on its business and to deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents. F-1 3. The execution, delivery, and performance by each of the entities comprising the Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party has been duly authorized by all necessary action of the Borrower and does not (i) require any consent or approval of any partner or shareholder of such entity or any other person or entity excepting such consents or approvals as have actually been obtained; (ii) violate any provision of any law, rule, or regulation of the United States or the State of Ohio, or any provision of the partnership or corporate law presently in effect having applicability to the Borrower or its general partners, as applicable; (iii) violate any provision of the partnership agreements of the Borrower or the articles of incorporation or bylaws of its general partners; (iv) violate any presently existing statutory or administrative provision or judicial decision applicable to the Borrower or its general partners; or (v) result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any agreement or instrument affecting the Borrowers or its general partners. 4. Each Loan Document to which it is a party (a) has been properly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the entities comprising the Borrower, (b) constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligations of the Borrower, and (c) is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except that we express no opinion regarding the enforceability of the Mortgage under Kansas law. 5. To our knowledge, no presently existing authorization, exemption, consent, approval, license, or registration with any court or governmental department, commission, bureau, agency, or instrumentality will be necessary for the valid, binding, and enforceable execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Loan Documents. 6. To our knowledge, there are no actions, suits, or proceedings pending or threatened against the Borrower before any court or governmental entity or instrumentality which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Loan Agreement). 7. The Loan Documents (other than the Mortgage) are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, and the Loan, including the interest rate reserved in the applicable Note and all fees and charges paid or to be paid by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with such Loan pursuant to the applicable Loan Documents, is not in violation of the usury laws of the State of Ohio. The opinions expressed herein are expressly made subject to and qualified by the following: (a) We have assumed that the Loan Documents are duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the Agent, the Lenders and all other parties other than the Borrower. (b) This opinion is based upon existing laws, ordinances and regulations in effect as of the date hereof. (c) This opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Ohio and applicable federal law and no opinion is expressed as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. F-2 (d) We have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals (other than the Loan Documents) and the conformity to original documents of all documents (other than the Loan Documents) submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies. (e) The opinions expressed herein are qualified to the extent that: (i) the enforceability of any rights or remedies in any agreement or instruments may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally; and (ii) the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy is subject to the discretion of a court of competent jurisdiction. This opinion may be relied upon by only by the addressees hereof, its attorneys, auditors, advisors, participants, and their respective successors and assigns, and not by any other party.

Each Indemnitor agrees that Administrative Agent shall not have any liability whatsoever as a result of delivering any or all of the Environmental Reports or any information contained therein to any third party, and each Indemnitor hereby releases and forever discharges Administrative Agent from any and all claims, damages, or causes of action arising out of connected with or incidental to the Environmental Reports or the delivery thereof. 5.

Such terms include any provisions in the Note or the Term Loan Agreement which permit borrowing, repayment and reborrowing, or which provide that the interest rate on one or more of the Secured Obligations may vary from time to time. 2. Assignment of Rents. 2.1 Assignment. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably, absolutely, presently and unconditionally assigns to Mortgagee all rents, royalties, issues, profits, revenue, income, accounts, proceeds and other benefits of the Property, whether now due, past due or to become due, including all prepaid rents and security deposits (some or all collectively, as the context may require, "Rents"). This is an absolute assignment, not an assignment for security only. 2.2 Grant of License. Mortgagee hereby confers upon Mortgagor a license ("License") to collect and retain the Rents as they become due and payable, so long as no Event of Default, as defined in Section 6.2 below, shall exist and be continuing. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Mortgagee shall have the right, which it may choose to exercise in its sole discretion, to terminate this License without notice to or demand upon Mortgagor, and without regard to the adequacy of Mortgagee's security under this Mortgage. 2.3 Collection and Application of Rents. Subject to the License granted to Mortgagor under Section 2.2 above, Mortgagee has the right, power and authority to collect any and all Rents. Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee its attorney-in-fact to perform any and all of the following acts, if and at the times when Mortgagee in its sole discretion may so choose: (a) Demand, receive and enforce payment of any and all Rents; or (b) Give receipts, releases and satisfactions for any and all Rents; or (c) Sue either in the name of Mortgagor or in the name of Mortgagee for any and all Rents. Mortgagee and Mortgagor agree that the mere recordation of the assignment granted herein entitles Mortgagee immediately to collect and receive rents upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, as defined in Section 6.2, without first taking any acts of enforcement under applicable law, such as, but not limited to, providing notice to Mortgagor, filing foreclosure proceedings, or seeking and/or obtaining the appointment of a receiver. Further, Mortgagee's right to the Rents does not depend on whether or not Mortgagee takes possession of the Property as permitted under Subsection 6.3(c). In Mortgagee's sole discretion, Mortgagee may choose to collect Rents either with or without taking possession of the Property. Mortgagee shall apply all Rents collected by it in the manner provided under Section 6.6. If an Event of Default occurs while Mortgagee is in possession of all or part of the Property and is collecting and applying Rents as permitted under this Mortgage, Mortgagee and any receiver shall nevertheless be entitled to exercise and invoke every right and remedy afforded any of them under this Mortgage and at law or in equity. 2.4 Mortgagee Not Responsible. Under no circumstances shall Mortgagee have any duty to produce Rents from the Property. Regardless of whether or not -5- Mortgagee, in person or by agent, takes actual possession of the Premises and Improvements, unless Mortgagee agrees in writing to the contrary, Mortgagee is not and shall not be deemed to be: (a) A "mortgagee in possession" for any purpose; or (b) Responsible for performing any of the obligations of the lessor under any lease; or (c) Responsible for any waste committed by lessees or any other parties, any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, or any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property, unless caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of Mortgagee; or (d) Liable in any manner for the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or any part of it. 2.5 Leasing. Mortgagor shall not accept any deposit or prepayment of rents under the leases for any rental period exceeding one (1) month without Mortgagee's prior written consent. Mortgagor shall not lease the Property or any part of it except strictly in accordance with the Term Loan Agreement. 3. Grant of Security Interest. 3.1 Security Agreement. The parties intend for this Mortgage to create a lien on the Property, and an absolute assignment of the Rents, all in favor of Mortgagee. The parties acknowledge that some of the Property and some or all of the Rents may be determined under applicable law to be personal property or fixtures. To the extent that any Property or Rents may be or be determined to be personal property, Mortgagor as debtor hereby grants Mortgagee as secured party a security interest in all such Property and Rents, to secure payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. This Mortgage constitutes a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State in which the Property is located, covering all such Property and Rents. 3.2 Financing Statements. Mortgagor hereby authorizes Mortgagee to file one or more financing statements. In addition, Mortgagor shall execute such other documents as Mortgagee may from time to time require to perfect or continue the perfection of Mortgagee's security interest in any Property or Rents. As provided in Section 5.10 below, Mortgagor shall pay all fees and costs that Mortgagee may incur in filing such documents in public offices and in obtaining such record searches as Mortgagee may reasonably require. In case Mortgagor fails to execute any financing statements or other documents for the perfection or continuation of any security interest, Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute any such documents on its behalf. If any financing statement or other document is filed in the records normally pertaining to personal property, that filing shall never be construed as in any way derogating from or impairing this Mortgage or the rights or obligations of the parties under it. 4. Fixture Filing. This Mortgage constitutes a financing statement filed as a fixture filing under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in the State in which the Property is located, as amended or recodified from time to time, covering any -6- Property which now is or later may become fixtures attached to the Premises or Improvements. For this purpose, the respective addresses of Mortgagor, as debtor, and Mortgagee, as secured party, are as set forth in the preambles of this Mortgage. 5. Rights and Duties of the Parties. 5.1 Representations and Warranties. Mortgagor represents and warrants that: (a) Mortgagor lawfully possesses and holds fee simple title to all of the Premises and Improvements; (b) Mortgagor has or will have good title to all Property other than the Premises and Improvements; (c) Mortgagor has the full and unlimited power, right and authority to encumber the Property and assign the Rents; (d) This Mortgage creates a first and prior lien on the Property; (e) The Property includes all property and rights which may be reasonably necessary or desirable to promote the present and any reasonable future beneficial use and enjoyment of the Premises and Improvements; (f) Except for certain items of leased office equipment used in the management office at the Premises, Mortgagor owns any Property which is personal property free and clear of any security agreements, reservations of title or conditional sales contracts, and there is no financing statement affecting such personal property on file in any public office; and (g) Mortgagor's place of business, or its chief executive office if it has more than one place of business, is located at the address specified below. 5.2 Taxes, and Assessments. Mortgagor shall, prior to delinquency, pay or cause to be paid each installment of all taxes and special assessments of every kind, now or hereafter levied against the Property or any part thereof, without notice or demand, and shall provide Mortgagee with evidence of the payment of same. Mortgagor shall pay all taxes and assessments which may be levied upon Mortgagee's or the Lenders' interest herein or upon this Mortgage or the debt secured hereby (excluding any income taxes or similar charges imposed upon Mortgagee or the Lenders), without regard to any law that may be enacted imposing payment of the whole or any part thereof upon the Mortgagee or any Lender. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section to the contrary, Mortgagor shall have the right to pay or cause to be paid any such tax or special assessment under protest or to otherwise contest any such tax or special assessment but only if (i) such contest has the effect of preventing the collection of such tax or special assessment so contested and also prevent the sale or forfeiture of the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein, (ii) Mortgagor promptly notifies Mortgagee in writing of its intent to contest such tax or special assessment, and (iii) if so requested in writing by Mortgagee, Mortgagor has deposited security in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, and increases the amount of such security so deposited promptly after Mortgagee's request therefor. Mortgagor shall prosecute or cause the prosecution of all such contest actions in good faith and with due diligence. -7- 5.3 Performance of Secured Obligations. Mortgagor shall promptly pay and perform each Secured Obligation in accordance with its terms. 5.4 Liens, Charges and Encumbrances. Mortgagor shall immediately discharge any lien on the Property which Mortgagee has not consented to in writing. 5.5 Damages, Restoration, and Insurance Proceeds. As long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, all insurance proceeds for losses at the Property of less than $500,000.00 shall be adjusted with and payable to the Mortgagor. In case of loss, Mortgagee shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in and reasonably approve the settlement of any insurance claim in excess of $500,000.00 and all claims thereafter, and Mortgagee is at all times authorized to collect and receive any insurance money for those claims which Mortgagee is entitled to approve the settlement of hereunder. At the election of Mortgagee, such insurance proceeds may be applied to reduce the outstanding balance of the indebtedness under the Term Loan Agreement or to pay for costs of repair and restoration of the Property; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, Mortgagee shall make such insurance proceeds available to pay for such costs of repair and restoration. If Mortgagee is entitled to and does elect to apply insurance proceeds in payment or reduction of the indebtedness secured hereby, then Mortgagee shall reduce the then outstanding balance of the Advances by the amount of the insurance proceeds received and so applied by Mortgagee. In the event that Mortgagee does not elect to apply the insurance proceeds to the indebtedness secured hereby as set forth above, such insurance proceeds shall be used to reimburse Mortgagor for the cost of rebuilding or restoring the Premises. The Premises shall be so restored or rebuilt as to be substantially the same quality and character as the Premises were prior to such damage or destruction in accordance with the original plans and specifications or to such other condition as Mortgagee shall reasonably approve in writing. If Mortgagee elects to make the proceeds available for repair and restoration, any request by Mortgagor for a disbursement by Mortgagee of fire or casualty insurance proceeds and funds deposited by Mortgagor with Mortgagee pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall be treated by Mortgagee as if such request were for an Advance under the Term Loan Agreement, and the disbursement thereof shall be conditioned upon the Borrower's compliance with and satisfaction of the same conditions precedent as would be applicable under the Term Loan Agreement for such an Advance. Additionally, such disbursement shall also be conditioned upon Borrower's providing to Administrative Agent: updated title insurance, satisfactory evidence, as reasonably determined by Administrative Agent, that the Premises shall be so restored or rebuilt as to be of at least equal value and quality and substantially the same character as the Premises were prior to such damage or destruction in accordance with the original plans and specifications or to such other condition as Administrative Agent shall reasonably approve in writing, satisfactory evidence of the estimated cost of completion thereof and with such architect's certificates, waivers of lien, contractors' sworn statements and other evidence of cost and of payments as Administrative Agent may reasonably require and approve. The undisbursed balance of insurance proceeds shall at all times be sufficient to pay for the cost of completion of the work free and clear of liens and if such proceeds are insufficient, Mortgagor shall deposit the amount of such deficiency with Mortgagee prior to the disbursement by Mortgagee of any insurance proceeds. -8- 5.6 Condemnation Proceeds. Mortgagor hereby assigns, transfers and sets over unto Mortgagee its entire interest in the proceeds (the "Condemnation Proceeds") of any award or any claim for damages for any of the Property taken or damaged under the power of eminent domain or by condemnation or any transaction in lieu of condemnation ("Condemnation"), unless, notwithstanding the forgoing, such taking, damage or condemnation does not cause a material diminution in the value of the Premises in which case all Condemnation Proceeds for damages to the Property shall be payable to the Mortgagor. Mortgagee shall make available to Mortgagor the Condemnation Proceeds for the restoration of the Premises if Mortgagor satisfies all of the conditions set forth in this Section 5.6 hereof for disbursement of insurance proceeds. In all other cases Mortgagee shall have the right, at its option, to apply the Condemnation Proceeds upon or in reduction of the indebtedness secured hereby, whether due or not. If Mortgagee is entitled to and does elect to apply Condemnation Proceeds upon or in reduction of the indebtedness secured hereby, then Mortgagee shall reduce the then outstanding balance of the Advances under the Term Loan Agreement by the amount of the Condemnation Proceeds received and so applied by Mortgagee. If the Condemnation Proceeds are required to be used as aforesaid to reimburse Mortgagor for the cost of rebuilding or restoring buildings or improvements on the Property, or if Mortgagee elects that the Condemnation Proceeds be so used, and the buildings and other improvements shall be rebuilt or restored, the Condemnation Proceeds shall be paid out in the same manner as is provided in this Section 5.6 hereof for the payment of insurance proceeds toward the cost of rebuilding or restoration of such buildings and other improvements. Any surplus which may remain out of the Condemnation Proceeds after payment of such cost of rebuilding or restoration shall, at the option of Mortgagee, be applied on account of the indebtedness secured hereby or be paid to any other party entitled thereto. 5.7 Maintenance and Preservation of Property. (a) Mortgagor shall insure the Property as required by Schedule 7 of the Term Loan Agreement and keep the Property in good condition and repair. (b) Except as required by the terms of any lease approved by Administrative Agent, Mortgagor shall not remove or demolish the Property or any material part of it in any way, or materially alter, restore or add to the Property, or initiate or allow any material change or variance in any zoning or other Premises use classification which adversely affects the Property or any material part of it, except with Mortgagee's express prior written consent in each instance; the term "materially" or "material" as used in this Section 5.7(b) shall mean having a monetary effect in an amount greater than $5,000,000. (c) Mortgagor shall not commit or allow any act upon or use of the Property which would violate: (i) any applicable Laws or order of any Governmental Authority, whether now existing or later to be enacted and whether foreseen or unforeseen; or (ii) any public or private covenant, condition, restriction or equitable servitude affecting the Property. Mortgagor shall not bring or keep any article on the Property or cause or allow any condition to exist on it, if that could invalidate or would be prohibited by any insurance coverage required to be maintained by Mortgagor on the Property or any part of it under the Term Loan Agreement. (d) Mortgagor shall not commit or allow waste of the Property, including those acts or omissions characterized under the Term Loan Agreement as waste which arises out of Materials of Environmental Concern. -9- (e) Mortgagor shall perform all other acts which from the character or use of the Property may be reasonably necessary to maintain and preserve its value. 5.8 Releases, Extensions, Modifications and Additional Security. From time to time, Mortgagee may perform any of the following acts without incurring any liability or giving notice to any person: (a) Release any person liable for payment of any Secured Obligation; (b) Extend the time for payment, or otherwise alter the terms of payment, of any Secured Obligation; (c) Accept additional real or personal property of any kind as security for any Secured Obligation, whether evidenced by deeds of trust, mortgages, security agreements or any other instruments of security; (d) Alter, substitute or release any property securing the Secured Obligations; (e) Consent to the making of any plat or map of the Property or any part of it; (f) Join in granting any easement or creating any restriction affecting the Property; or (g) Join in any subordination or other agreement affecting this Mortgage or the lien of it; or (h) Release the Property or any part of it. 5.9 Release. If Mortgagor shall fully pay all principal and interest on the Notes, and all other indebtedness secured hereby and comply with all of the other terms and provisions hereof to be performed and complied with by Mortgagor, Mortgagee, upon written request of Mortgagor, shall release this Mortgage and the lien thereof by proper instrument upon payment and discharge of the amounts required under the Term Loan Agreement and payment of any filing fee in connection with such release. Mortgagor shall pay any costs of preparation and recordation of such release. 5.10 Compensation, Exculpation, Indemnification. (a) Mortgagor agrees to pay fees required by and pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement, for any services that Mortgagee may render in connection with this Mortgage, including Mortgagee's providing a statement of the Secured Obligations or providing the release pursuant to Section 5.9 above. Mortgagor shall also pay or reimburse all of Mortgagee's costs and expenses which may be incurred in rendering any such services. Mortgagor further agrees to pay or reimburse Mortgagee for all costs, expenses and other advances which may be incurred or made by Mortgagee in any efforts to enforce any terms of this Mortgage, including any rights or remedies afforded to Mortgagee under Section 6.4, whether any lawsuit is filed or not, or in defending any action or proceeding arising under or relating to this Mortgage, including attorneys' fees and other legal costs, costs of any Foreclosure Sale (as defined in Subsection 6.4(i) below) and any cost -10- of evidence of title. If Mortgagee chooses to dispose of Property through more than one Foreclosure Sale, Mortgagor shall pay all costs, expenses or other advances that may be incurred or made by Mortgagee in each of such Foreclosure Sales. In any suit to foreclose the lien hereof or enforce any other remedy of Mortgagee under this Mortgage or the Note, there shall be allowed and included as additional indebtedness in the decree for sale or other judgment or decree all expenditures and expenses which may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of Mortgagee for reasonable attorneys' costs and fees (including the costs and fees of paralegals), survey charges, appraiser's fees, inspecting engineer's and/or architect's fees, fees for environmental studies and assessments and all additional expenses incurred by Mortgagee with respect to environmental matters, outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographers' charges, publication costs, and costs (which may be estimated as to items to be expended after entry of the decree) of procuring all such abstracts of title, title searches and examinations, title insurance policies, and similar data and assurances with respect to title as Mortgagee may deem reasonably necessary either to prosecute such suit or to evidence to bidders at any sale which may be had pursuant to such decree the true condition of the title to, the value of or the environmental condition of the Property. All expenditures and expenses of the nature in this Subsection mentioned, and such expenses and fees as may be incurred in the protection of the Property and maintenance of the lien of this Mortgage, including the fees of any attorney (including the costs and fees of paralegals) employed by Mortgagee in any litigation or proceeding affecting this Mortgage, the Note or the Property, including probate and bankruptcy proceedings, or in preparation for the commencement or defense of any proceeding or threatened suit or proceeding, shall be immediately due and payable by Mortgagor, with interest thereon at the Default Rate and shall be secured by this Mortgage. (b) Mortgagee shall not be directly or indirectly liable to Mortgagor or any other person as a consequence of any of the following: (i) Mortgagee's exercise of or failure to exercise any rights, remedies or powers granted to Mortgagee in this Mortgage; (ii) Mortgagee's failure or refusal to perform or discharge any obligation or liability of Mortgagor under any agreement related to the Property or under this Mortgage; or (iii) Any loss sustained by Mortgagor or any third party resulting from Mortgagee's failure to lease the Property, or from any other act or omission of Mortgagee in managing the Property, after an Event of Default, unless the loss is caused by the willful misconduct, gross negligence, or bad faith of Mortgagee. Mortgagor hereby expressly waives and releases all liability of the types described above, and agrees that no such liability shall be asserted against or imposed upon Mortgagee. (c) Mortgagor agrees to indemnify Mortgagee against and hold it harmless from all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, causes of action, judgments, court costs, attorneys' fees and other legal expenses, cost of evidence of title, cost of evidence of value, and other costs and expenses which it may suffer or incur, unless caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Mortgagee: -11- (i) In performing any act required or permitted by this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents or by law; (ii) Because of any failure of Mortgagor to perform any of its obligations; or (iii) Because of any alleged obligation of or undertaking by Mortgagee to perform or discharge any of the representations, warranties, conditions, covenants or other obligations in any document relating to the Property other than the Loan Documents. This agreement by Mortgagor to indemnify Mortgagee shall survive the release and cancellation of any or all of the Secured Obligations and the full or partial release of this Mortgage. (d) Mortgagor shall pay all obligations to pay money arising under this Section 5.10 immediately upon demand by Mortgagee. Each such obligation shall be added to, and considered to be part of, the principal of the Note, and shall bear interest from the date the obligation arises at the Default Rate. 5.11 Defense and Notice of Claims and Actions. At Mortgagor's sole expense, Mortgagor shall protect, preserve and defend the Property and title to and right of possession of the Property, and the security of this Mortgage and the rights and powers of Mortgagee created under it, against all adverse claims. Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee prompt notice in writing if any claim is asserted which does or could affect any such matters, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which alleges or relates to any such claim. 5.12 Subrogation. Mortgagee shall be subrogated to the liens of all encumbrances, whether released of record or not, which are discharged in whole or in part by Mortgagee in accordance with this Mortgage or with the proceeds of any loan secured by this Mortgage. 5.13 Site Visits, Observation and Testing. Mortgagee and its agents and representatives shall have the right at any reasonable time to enter and visit the Property for the purpose of performing appraisals, observing the Property, and conducting non-invasive tests (unless Mortgagee has a good faith reason to believe that the taking and removing soil or groundwater samples is required, and in such case, conducting such tests) on any part of the Property. Mortgagee has no duty, however, to visit or observe the Property or to conduct tests, and no site visit, observation or testing by Mortgagee, its agents or representatives shall impose any liability on any of Mortgagee, its agents or representatives. In no event shall any site visit, observation or testing by Mortgagee, its agents or representatives be a representation that Materials of Environmental Concern are or are not present in, on or under the Property, or that there has been or shall be compliance with any law, regulation or ordinance pertaining to Materials of Environmental Concern or any other applicable governmental law. Neither Mortgagor nor any other party is entitled to rely on any site visit, observation or testing by any of Mortgagee, its agents or representatives. Neither Mortgagee, its agents or representatives owe any duty of care to protect Mortgagor or any other party against, or to inform Mortgagor or any other party of, any Materials of Environmental Concern or any other adverse condition affecting the Property. Mortgagee shall give Mortgagor reasonable notice before entering the Property. Mortgagee shall make reasonable efforts to avoid interfering with Mortgagor's use of the Property in exercising any rights provided in this Section 5.13. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights granted to Mortgagee under this Section 5.13 are subject to all rights of tenants to the Property. -12- 5.14 Notice of Change. Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee prior written notice of any change in: (a) the location of its place of business or its chief executive office if it has more than one place of business; (b) the location of any of the Property, including the Books and Records; and (c) Mortgagor's name or business structure. Unless otherwise approved by Mortgagee in writing, all Property that consists of personal property (other than the Books and Records) will be located on the Premises and all Books and Records will be located at Mortgagor's place of business or chief executive office if Mortgagor has more than one place of business. 5.15 Ground Lease. (a) Mortgagor will: (i) pay the rent required by the Ground Lease as the same becomes due and payable; (ii) promptly perform and observe all of the material covenants, agreements, obligations and conditions required to be performed and observed by Mortgagor under the Ground Lease, and do all things necessary to preserve and keep unimpaired its rights thereunder; (iii) promptly notify Lender in writing of the commencement of a proceeding under the federal bankruptcy laws by or against Mortgagor or, upon Mortgagor's receipt of notification thereof, the lessor under the Ground Lease; (iv) if any of the indebtedness secured hereby remains unpaid at the time when notice may be given by the lessee under the Ground Lease of the exercise of any right to renew or extend the term of the Ground Lease, promptly give notice to the lessor thereunder of the exercise of such right of extension or renewal; (v) in case any proceeds of insurance upon the Property or any part thereof are deposited with any Person other than Mortgagee, promptly notify Mortgagee in writing of the name and address of the Person with whom such proceeds have been deposited and the amount so deposited; (vi) promptly notify Mortgagee in writing of the receipt by Mortgagor of any notice (other than notices customarily sent on a regular periodic basis) from the lessor under the Ground Lease and of any notice noting or claiming any default by Mortgagor in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants, or conditions on the part of Mortgagor to be performed or observed under the Ground Lease; (vii) promptly notify Mortgagee in writing of the receipt by Mortgagor of any notice from the lessor of any termination of the Ground Lease and promptly cause a copy of each such notice to be delivered to Mortgagee; and (viii) promptly notify Mortgagee in writing of any request made by either party to the Ground Lease to the other party thereto for arbitration or appraisal proceedings pursuant to the Ground Lease, and of the institution of any arbitration or appraisal proceedings and promptly deliver to Mortgagee a copy of the determination of the arbitrators or appraisers in each such proceeding. (b) Except as set forth in Article 11 of the Ground Lease in connection with the transfer of fee title to the Property to Mortgagor, Mortgagor will not surrender the Ground Lease or Mortgagor's leasehold estate and interest therein, nor terminate or cancel the Ground Lease; and will not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Ground Lease, either orally or in writing, and as further security for the repayment of the indebtedness hereby secured and for the performance of the covenants, agreements, obligations and conditions herein and in the Ground Lease contained, Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee all of its rights, privileges and prerogatives as lessee under the Ground Lease to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Ground Lease and any such termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Ground Lease, without the prior written consent thereto by Mortgagee, shall be void and of no force and effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Mortgagor will not reject the Ground Lease pursuant to -13- Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor law, or allow the Ground Lease to be deemed rejected by inaction and lapse of time, and will not elect to treat the Ground Lease as terminated by the related lessor's rejection of such Ground Lease pursuant to Section 365(h)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor law, and as further security for the repayment of the indebtedness secured hereby and for the performance of the covenants, agreements, obligations and conditions herein and in the Ground Lease contained. Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee all of its rights, privileges and prerogatives of Mortgagor and Mortgagor's bankruptcy trustee to deal with the Ground Lease, which right may arise as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the federal bankruptcy laws by or against Mortgagor or any lessor under the Ground Lease including, without limitation, the right to assume or reject, or to compel the assumption or rejection of the Ground Lease pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor law, the right to seek and obtain extensions of time to assume or reject the Ground Lease, the right to elect whether to treat the Ground Lease as terminated by the lessor's rejection of such Ground Lease or to remain in possession of the Property and offset damages pursuant to Section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor law; and any exercise of such rights, privileges or prerogatives by Mortgagor or Mortgagor's bankruptcy trustee without the prior written consent thereto by Mortgagee shall be void and of no force and effect. No release or forbearance of any of Mortgagor's obligations as lessee under the Ground Lease, whether pursuant to the Ground Lease or otherwise, shall release Mortgagor from any of its obligations under this Mortgage, including, but not limited to, Mortgagor's obligations with respect to the payment of rent as provided for in the Ground Lease and the observance and performance of all of the covenants, agreements, obligations and conditions contained in the Ground Lease to be observed and performed by the lessee thereunder. Unless Mortgagee shall otherwise expressly consent in writing, the fee title to the real property demised by the Ground Lease and the leasehold estate thereunder shall not merge, but shall always remain separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of such estates either in Mortgagor or in a third party by purchase or otherwise. (c) Upon the written demand of Mortgagee, Mortgagor will promptly deliver to Mortgagee a certificate stating that the Ground Lease is in full force and effect, is unmodified, that no notice of termination thereon has been served on Mortgagor, stating the date to which the net rent has been paid and stating, to the knowledge of Mortgagor, whether or not there are any defaults thereunder and specifying the nature of such defaults, if any. Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee such certificate within twenty (20) days after Mortgagee's demand therefor. (d) Mortgagor will furnish to Mortgagee upon demand, proof of payment of all items which are required to be paid by Mortgagor pursuant to the Ground Lease. 5.16 Right to Conveyance of Fee Title. Mortgagor hereby relinquishes forever its right to cause fee title to the premises demised by the Ground Lease to be conveyed to any party other than to Mortgagor pursuant to Article 11 of the Ground Lease, as amended, unless specifically and expressly consented to by Mortgagee. Mortgagor agrees to exercise its right to purchase fee title to the premises demised by the Ground Lease at the earliest date permitted thereunder and that upon such purchase this Mortgage shall be deemed to encumber such fee title without further action by the parties. -14- 6. Transfers, Default and Remedies. 6.1 Transfers. Mortgagor acknowledges that Mortgagee is making one or more advances under the Term Loan Agreement in reliance on the expertise, skill and experience of Mortgagor; thus, the Secured Obligations include material elements similar in nature to a personal service contract. In consideration of Mortgagee's reliance, Mortgagor agrees that Mortgagor shall not make any transfer of the Property or transfer of its interests therein, except for leases in the ordinary course (a "Transfer"), unless the Transfer is preceded by Mortgagee's express written consent to the particular transaction and transferee. Mortgagee may withhold such consent in its sole discretion. 6.2 Events of Default. Mortgagor will be in default under this Mortgage upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events (some or all collectively, "Events of Default;" any one singly, an "Event of Default"): (a) If a default shall occur with respect to covenants, agreements and obligations of Mortgagor under this Mortgage involving the payment of money (other than a default in the payment of principal when due as provided in Section 7.1 of the Term Loan Agreement) and shall continue for a period of five (5) business days after the due date thereof; or (b) If there is a failure to perform or observe any of the other covenants, agreements and conditions contained in this Mortgage in accordance with the terms hereof, and such default continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from Mortgagee to defaulting Mortgagor of the occurrence thereof; or (c) An "Event of Default" occurs under the Term Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document. 6.3 Remedies. At any time after an Event of Default, Mortgagee shall be entitled to invoke any and all of the rights and remedies described below, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Mortgagee at law or in equity. All of such rights and remedies shall be cumulative, and the exercise of any one or more of them shall not constitute an election of remedies. (a) Acceleration. Upon the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Default the whole of the principal sum hereby secured shall, at once either automatically or at the option of Mortgagee as described in Section 8.1 of the Term Loan Agreement, become immediately due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon, without any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind to Mortgagor. (b) Receiver. Mortgagee shall, as a matter of right, without notice and without giving bond to Mortgagor or anyone claiming by, under or through Mortgagor, and without regard for the solvency or insolvency of Mortgagor or the then value of the Property, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be entitled to have a receiver appointed for all or any part of the Property and the Rents, and the proceeds, issues and profits thereof, with the rights and powers referenced below and such other rights and powers as the court making such appointment shall confer, and Mortgagor hereby consents to the appointment of such receiver and shall not oppose any such appointment. Such receiver shall have all powers and duties prescribed by applicable law, all other powers which are necessary or usual in such cases for the protection, possession, control, management and operation of the Property, and such rights and powers as Mortgagee would have, upon entering and taking possession of the Property under subsection (c) below. -15- (c) Entry. Mortgagee, in person, by agent or by court-appointed receiver, may enter, take possession of, manage and operate all or any part of the Property, and may also do any and all other things in connection with those actions that Mortgagee may in its sole discretion consider necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this Mortgage. Such other things may include: taking and possessing all of Mortgagor's or the then owner's Books and Records; entering into, enforcing, modifying or canceling leases on such terms and conditions as Mortgagee may consider proper; obtaining and evicting tenants; fixing or modifying Rents; collecting and receiving any payment of money owing to Mortgagee; completing any unfinished construction; and/or contracting for and making repairs and alterations. If Mortgagee so requests, Mortgagor shall assemble all of the Property that has been removed from the Premises and make all of it available to Mortgagee at the site of the Premises. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Mortgagee as Mortgagor's attorney-in-fact to perform such acts and execute such documents as Mortgagee in its sole discretion may consider to be appropriate in connection with taking these measures, including endorsement of Mortgagor's name on any instruments. (d) Cure; Protection of Security. Mortgagee may cure any breach or default of Mortgagor, and if it chooses to do so in connection with any such cure, Mortgagee may also enter the Property and/or do any and all other things which it may in its sole discretion consider necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this Mortgage, including, without limitation, completing construction of the improvements at the Property contemplated by the Term Loan Agreement. Such other things may include: appearing in and/or defending any action or proceeding which purports to affect the security of, or the rights or powers of Mortgagee under, this Mortgage; paying, purchasing, contesting or compromising any encumbrance, charge, lien or claim of lien which in Mortgagee's sole judgment is or may be senior in priority to this Mortgage, such judgment of Mortgagee or to be conclusive as among the parties to this Mortgage; obtaining insurance and/or paying any premiums or charges for insurance required to be carried under the Term Loan Agreement; otherwise caring for and protecting any and all of the Property; and/or employing counsel, accountants, contractors and other appropriate persons to assist Mortgagee. Mortgagee may take any of the actions permitted under this Subsection 6.3(d) either with or without giving notice to any person. Any amounts expended by Mortgagee under this Subsection 6.3(d) shall be secured by this Mortgage. (e) Uniform Commercial Code Remedies. Mortgagee may exercise any or all of the remedies granted to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code in the State in which the Property is located. (f) Foreclosure; Lawsuits. Mortgagee shall have the right, in one or several concurrent or consecutive proceedings, to foreclose the lien hereof upon the Property or any part thereof, for the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, by any proceedings appropriate under applicable law. Mortgagee or its nominee may bid and become the purchaser of all or any part of the Property at any foreclosure or other sale hereunder, and the amount of Mortgagee's successful bid shall be credited on the Secured Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, Mortgagee may proceed by a suit or suits in law or equity, whether for specific performance of any -16- covenant or agreement herein contained or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, or for any foreclosure under the judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction. In addition to the right provided in Subsection 6.3(a), upon, or at any time after the filing of a complaint to foreclose this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver of the property by the court in which such complaint is filed, and Mortgagor hereby consents to such appointment. (g) Other Remedies. Mortgagee may exercise all rights and remedies contained in any other instrument, document, agreement or other writing heretofore, concurrently or in the future executed by Mortgagor or any other person or entity in favor of Mortgagee in connection with the Secured Obligations or any part thereof, without prejudice to the right of Mortgagee thereafter to enforce any appropriate remedy against Mortgagor. Mortgagee shall have the right to pursue all remedies afforded to a mortgagee under applicable law, and shall have the benefit of all of the provisions of such applicable law, including all amendments thereto which may become effective from time to time after the date hereof. (h) Sale of Personal Property. Mortgagee shall have the discretionary right to cause some or all of the Property, which constitutes personal property, to be sold or otherwise disposed of in any combination and in any manner permitted by applicable law. (i) For purposes of this power of sale, Mortgagee may elect to treat as personal property any Property which is intangible or which can be severed from the Premises or Improvements without causing structural damage. If it chooses to do so, Mortgagee may dispose of any personal property, in any manner permitted by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State in which the Property is located, including any public or private sale, or in any manner permitted by any other applicable law. (ii) In connection with any sale or other disposition of such Property, Mortgagor agrees that the following procedures constitute a commercially reasonable sale: Mortgagee shall mail written notice of the sale to Mortgagor not later than thirty (30) days prior to such sale. Mortgagee will publish notice of the sale in a local daily newspaper of general circulation. Upon receipt of any written request, Mortgagee will make the Property available to any bona fide prospective purchaser for inspection during reasonable business hours. Notwithstanding, Mortgagee shall be under no obligation to consummate a sale if, in its judgment, none of the offers received by it equals the fair value of the Property offered for sale. The foregoing procedures do not constitute the only procedures that may be commercially reasonable. (i) Single or Multiple Foreclosure Sales. If the Property consists of more than one lot, parcel or item of property, Mortgagee may: (i) Designate the order in which the lots, parcels and/or items shall be sold or disposed of or offered for sale or disposition; and (ii) Elect to dispose of the lots, parcels and/or items through a single consolidated sale or disposition to be held or made under or in connection with judicial proceedings, or by virtue of a judgment and decree of foreclosure and sale; or through two or more such sales or dispositions; or in any other manner Mortgagee may deem to be in its -17- best interests (any such sale or disposition, a "Foreclosure Sale;" and any two or more, "Foreclosure Sales"). If Mortgagee chooses to have more than one Foreclosure Sale, Mortgagee at its option may cause the Foreclosure Sales to be held simultaneously or successively, on the same day, or on such different days and at such different times and in such order as Mortgagee may deem to be in its best interests. No Foreclosure Sale shall terminate or affect the liens of this Mortgage on any part of the Property which has not been sold, until all of the Secured Obligations have been paid in full. 6.4 Credit Bids. At any Foreclosure Sale, any person, including Mortgagor or Mortgagee, may bid for and acquire the Property or any part of it to the extent permitted by then applicable law. Instead of paying cash for such property, Mortgagee may settle for the purchase price by crediting the sales price of the property against the following obligations: (a) First, the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the expenses of sale, costs of any action and any other sums for which Mortgagor is obligated to pay or reimburse Mortgagee under Section 5.10 of this Mortgage; and (b) Second, all other Secured Obligations in any order and proportions as Mortgagee in its sole discretion may choose. 6.5 Application of Foreclosure Sale Proceeds. Mortgagee shall apply the proceeds of any Foreclosure Sale in the following manner: (a) First, to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the expenses of sale, costs of any action and any other sums for which Mortgagor is obligated to reimburse Mortgagee under Section 5.10 of this Mortgage; (b) Second, to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to any sums expended or advanced by Mortgagee under the terms of this Mortgage which then remain unpaid; (c) Third, to pay all other Secured Obligations in any order and proportions as Mortgagee in its sole discretion may choose; and (d) Fourth, to remit the remainder, if any, to the person or persons entitled to it. 6.6 Application of Rents and Other Sums. Mortgagee shall apply any and all Rents collected by it, and any and all sums other than proceeds of a Foreclosure Sale which Mortgagee may receive or collect under Section 6.3 above, in the following manner: (a) First, to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the costs and expenses of operation and collection that may be incurred by Mortgagee or any receiver; (b) Second, to pay all other Secured Obligations in any order and proportions as Mortgagee in its sole discretion may choose; and -18- (c) Third, to remit the remainder, if any, to the person or persons entitled to it. Mortgagee shall have no liability for any funds which it does not actually receive. 7. Miscellaneous Provisions. 7.1 Additional Provisions. The Loan Documents fully state all of the terms and conditions of the parties' agreement regarding the matters mentioned in or incidental to this Mortgage. The Loan Documents also grant further rights to Mortgagee and contain further agreements and affirmative and negative covenants by Mortgagor which apply to this Mortgage and to the Property. 7.2 No Waiver or Cure. (a) Each waiver by Mortgagee must be in writing, and no waiver shall be construed as a continuing waiver. No waiver shall be implied from any delay or failure by Mortgagee to take action on account of any default of Mortgagor. Consent by Mortgagee to any act or omission by Mortgagor shall not be construed as a consent to any other or subsequent act or omission or to waive the requirement for Mortgagee's consent to be obtained in any future or other instance. (b) If any of the events described below occurs, that event alone shall not: cure or waive any breach, Event of Default or notice of default under this Mortgage or invalidate any act performed pursuant to any such default or notice; or nullify the effect of any notice of default or sale (unless all Secured Obligations then due have been paid and performed and all other defaults under the Loan Documents have been cured); or impair the security of this Mortgage; or prejudice Mortgagee or any receiver in the exercise of any right or remedy afforded any of them under this Mortgage; or be construed as an affirmation by Mortgagee of any tenancy, lease or option, or a subordination of the lien of this Mortgage. (i) Mortgagee, its agent or a receiver takes possession of all or any part of the Property in the manner provided in Subsection 6.3(c). (ii) Mortgagee collects and applies Rents as permitted under Sections 2.3 and 6.6 above, either with or without taking possession of all or any part of the Property. (iii) Mortgagee receives and applies to any Secured Obligation any proceeds of any Property, including any proceeds of insurance policies, condemnation awards, or other claims, property or rights assigned to Mortgagee under Section 5.5 and Section 5.6 above. (iv) Mortgagee makes a site visit, observes the Property and/or conducts tests as permitted under Section 5.13 above. (v) Mortgagee receives any sums under this Mortgage or any proceeds of any collateral held for any of the Secured Obligations, and applies them to one or more Secured Obligations. -19- (vi) Mortgagee or any receiver invokes any right or remedy provided under this Mortgage. 7.3 Powers of Mortgagee. (a) If Mortgagee performs any act which it is empowered or authorized to perform under this Mortgage, including any act permitted by Section 5.8 or Subsection 6.3(d) of this Mortgage, that act alone shall not release or change the personal liability of any person for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations then outstanding, or the lien of this Mortgage on all or the remainder of the Property for full payment and performance of all outstanding Secured Obligations. The liability of the original Mortgagor shall not be released or changed if Mortgagee grants any successor in interest to Mortgagor any extension of time for payment, or modification of the terms of payment, of any Secured Obligation. Mortgagee shall not be required to comply with any demand by the original Mortgagor that Mortgagee refuse to grant such an extension or modification to, or commence proceedings against, any such successor in interest. (b) Mortgagee may take any of the actions permitted under Subsections 6.3(b) and/or 6.3(c) regardless of the adequacy of the security for the Secured Obligations, or whether any or all of the Secured Obligations have been declared to be immediately due and payable, or whether notice of default and election to sell has been given under this Mortgage. (c) From time to time, Mortgagee may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for aid and direction in executing and enforcing the rights and remedies created under this Mortgage. Mortgagee may from time to time obtain orders or decrees directing, confirming or approving acts in executing and enforcing these rights and remedies. 7.4 Merger. No merger shall occur as a result of Mortgagee's acquiring any other estate in or any other lien on the Property unless Mortgagee consents to a merger in writing. 7.5 Joint and Several Liability. If Mortgagor consists of more than one person, each shall be jointly and severally liable for the faithful performance of all of Mortgagor's obligations under this Mortgage. 7.6 Applicable Law. The creation, perfection and enforcement of the lien of this Mortgage shall be governed by the law of the State in which the property is located. Subject to the foregoing, in all other respects, this Mortgage shall be governed by the substantive laws of the State of Kansas. 7.7 Successors in Interest. The terms, covenants and conditions of this Mortgage shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors and assigns of the parties. However, this Section 7.7 does not waive the provisions of Section 6.1 above. 7.8 Interpretation. (a) Whenever the context requires, all words used in the singular will be construed to have been used in the plural, and vice versa, and each gender will include any other gender. The captions of the sections of this Mortgage are for convenience only and do not define or limit any terms or provisions. The word "include(s)" means "include(s), without limitation," and the word "including" means "including, but not limited to." -20- (b) The word "obligations" is used in its broadest and most comprehensive sense, and includes all primary, secondary, direct, indirect, fixed and contingent obligations. It further includes all principal, interest, prepayment charges, late charges, loan fees and any other fees and charges accruing or assessed at any time, as well as all obligations to perform acts or satisfy conditions. (c) No listing of specific instances, items or matters in any way limits the scope or generality of any language of this Mortgage. The Exhibits to this Mortgage are hereby incorporated in this Mortgage. 7.9 [Intentionally Omitted.] 7.10 Waiver of Statutory Rights. To the extent permitted by law, Mortgagor hereby agrees that it shall not and will not apply for or avail itself of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or exemption laws, or any so-called "Moratorium Laws," now existing or hereafter enacted, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Mortgage, but hereby waives the benefit of such laws. Mortgagor for itself and all who may claim through or under it waives any and all right to have the property and estates comprising the Property marshalled upon any foreclosure of the lien hereof and agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may order the Property sold as an entirety. Mortgagor hereby waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any judgment of foreclosure of this Mortgage on behalf of Mortgagor and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in or title to the Property of any nature whatsoever, subsequent to the date of this Mortgage. The foregoing waiver of right of redemption is made pursuant to the provisions of applicable law. 7.11 Severability. If any provision of this Mortgage should be held unenforceable or void, that provision shall be deemed severable from the remaining provisions and shall in no way affect the validity of this Mortgage except that if such provision relates to the payment of any monetary sum, then Mortgagee may, at its option, declare all Secured Obligations immediately due and payable. 7.12 Notices. Any notice, demand, request or other communication which any party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given (a) if hand delivered, when delivered; (b) if mailed by United States Certified Mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), three Business Days after mailing (c) if by Federal Express or other reliable overnight courier service, on the next Business Day after delivered to such courier service or (d) if by telecopier on the day of transmission so long as copy is sent on the same day by overnight courier as set forth below: Mortgagor: GM Olathe, LLC c/o Glimcher Properties Limited Partnership 150 East Gay Street Columbus, Ohio 43215 Attention: General Counsel Telephone: (614) 887-5619 Facsimile: (614) 621-8863 -21- Mortgagee: KeyBank National Association 127 Public Square Cleveland, Ohio 44114 Attention: Commercial Real Estate Department Phone: 216-689-4660 Facsimile: 216-689-4997 With a copy to: Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal LLP 7800 Sears Tower 233 South Wacker Chicago, Illinois 60606 Attention: Patrick G.

All advances and indebtedness arising and accruing under the Term Loan Agreement from time to time, whether or not the resulting indebtedness secured hereby may exceed the face amount of the Notes, shall be secured hereby to the same extent as though said Term Loan Agreement were fully incorporated in this Mortgage, and the occurrence of any Event of Default under said Term Loan Agreement shall constitute a Event of Default under this Mortgage entitling Mortgagee to all of the rights and remedies conferred upon Mortgagee by the terms of both this Mortgage and the Term Loan Agreement.

Mortgagor and Mortgagee intend and believe that each provision in this Mortgage and the Notes comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions. However, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion of any provision or provisions, in this Mortgage or the Notes is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state or federal ordinance, statute, law, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, and if such court should declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Mortgage and the Notes to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent both of Mortgagor and Mortgagee that such portion, provision or provisions shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable, that the remainder of this Mortgage and the Notes shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were not contained therein, and that the rights, obligations and interest of Mortgagor and Mortgagee under the remainder of this Mortgage and the Notes shall continue in full force and effect.

If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of the Notes or any other agreement referred to herein, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity and if from any circumstance the Holders shall ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance due under the Notes and not to the payment of interest. 7.18 UCC Financing Statements. Mortgagor hereby authorizes Mortgagee to file UCC financing statements to perfect Mortgagee's security interest in any part of the Property.

The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases and the other Loan Documents. 2.1.4 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan to (a) repay and discharge any existing loans relating to the Property, (b) pay all past-due Basic Carrying Costs, if any, in respect of the Property, (c) make deposits into the Reserve Funds on the Closing Date in the amounts provided herein, (d) pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Closing of the Loan, as approved by Lender, and (e) fund any working capital requirements of the Property. The balance, if any, may be distributed by Borrower in accordance with Borrower's operating agreement. Section 2.2 Interest; Loan Payments; Late Payment Charge; Exit Fee. 2.2.1 Interest Generally. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from the Closing Date to, but excluding, the Maturity Date at the Applicable Interest Rate. 17 2.2.2 Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) the Applicable Interest Rate divided by three hundred sixty (360) by (c) the outstanding principal balance. 2.2.3 Payments. If the Closing Date is not the eleventh (11th) day of a month, on the Closing Date Borrower shall pay Lender all interest scheduled to accrue during the Interest Period in which the Closing Date occurs. The Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount shall be paid on the Payment Date occurring in January 11, 2006, and on each subsequent Payment Date thereafter up to and including the Payment Date preceding the Maturity Date. Each such payment shall be applied first to the payment of interest that has accrued during the preceding Interest Period (calculated in accordance with Section 2.2.2 above), and the balance of such payment, if any, shall be applied to the reduction of the principal sum of the Loan. 2.2.4 [INTENTIONALLY DELETED] 2.2.5 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. 2.2.6 Payments after Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan, shall accrue at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due). To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Mortgage. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default. 2.2.7 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender, upon demand, an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to pay the late payment charge to the extent sufficient amounts are deposited in the Deposit Account to satisfy such obligations on the dates each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by Lender. 18 2.2.8 Usury Savings. This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding. Section 2.3 Prepayments. 2.3.1 Voluntary Prepayments. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date. 2.3.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On each date on which Borrower actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the restoration of the Property, Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. No Yield Maintenance Fee shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.3.2. Any partial prepayment under this Section shall be applied to the last payments of principal due under the Loan. Section 2.4 Defeasance. 2.4.1 Defeasance.

If required by the applicable Rating Agencies, Borrower shall also deliver or cause to be delivered a non-consolidation opinion with respect to the Successor Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and the applicable Rating Agencies; (ix) Borrower shall deliver an Officer's Certificate certifying that the requirements set forth in this Section 2.4.1(a) have been satisfied; (x) Borrower shall deliver a certificate of Borrower's independent certified public accountant certifying that the U.S. Obligations purchased with the Defeasance Deposit generate monthly amounts equal to or greater than the Scheduled Defeasance Payments; (xi) Borrower shall deliver such other certificates, documents or instruments as Lender may reasonably request; and (xii) Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses of Lender incurred in connection with the Defeasance Event, including any costs and expenses associated with a release of the Lien of the related Mortgage as provided in Section 2.4.1(c) hereof as well as reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. (b) In connection with each Defeasance Event, Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of using the Defeasance Deposit to purchase U.S. Obligations which provide Scheduled Defeasance Payments on or prior to, but as close as possible to, all successive scheduled Payment Dates after the Defeasance Date. Borrower, pursuant to the Security Agreement or other appropriate document, shall authorize and direct that the payments received from the U.S. Obligations may be made directly to the Deposit Account 20 (unless otherwise directed by Lender) and applied to satisfy the obligations of Borrower under the Note. Any portion of the Defeasance Deposit in excess of the amount necessary to purchase the U.S. Obligations required by this Section 2.4.1 and satisfy Borrower's other obligations under this Section 2.4.1 shall be remitted to Borrower. (c) If Borrower has elected to defease the entire Note and the requirements of this Section 2.4.1 have been satisfied, the Property shall be released from the lien of the Mortgage and the Defeasance Collateral pledged pursuant to the Security Agreement shall be the sole source of collateral securing the Note. In connection with the release of the Lien, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Defeasance Date (or such shorter time as is acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion), a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for execution by Lender. Such release shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and that contains standard provisions protecting the rights of the releasing lender. In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release, together with an Officer's Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such release in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Except as set forth in this Section 2.4.1 and Section 2.4.2, no repayment, prepayment or defeasance of all or any portion of the Note shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of the lien of the Mortgage on the Property. 2.4.2 [INTENTIONALLY DELETED] 2.4.3 Successor Borrower. In connection with a defeasance under this Section 2.4, Lender shall establish or designate a successor entity (the "Successor Borrower") which shall be a single purpose bankruptcy remote entity with two (2) Independent Directors approved by Lender, and Borrower shall transfer and assign all obligations, rights and duties under and to the Note, as applicable, together with the pledged U.S. Obligations to such Successor Borrower.

Borrower (i) shall observe and perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in a commercially reasonable manner; (ii) shall enforce and may amend or terminate the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner and in a manner not to impair the value of the Property except that no termination by Borrower or acceptance of surrender by a tenant of any Leases shall be permitted unless by reason of a tenant default and then only in a 40 commercially reasonable manner to preserve and protect the Property provided, however, that no such termination or surrender of any Lease covering more than 10,000 square feet will be permitted without the written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; (iii) shall not collect any of the rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits); (iv) shall not execute any other assignment of lessor's interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); (v) shall not alter, modify or change the terms of the Leases in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of the Loan Documents; and (vi) shall execute and deliver at the request of Lender all such further assurances, confirmations and assignments in connection with the Leases as Lender shall from time to time reasonably require. If the correspondence from Borrower to Lender requesting approval for any matter requiring Lender's approval under this Section 5.1.20 contains a bold faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof to the effect that "IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN", and if Lender fails to respond in writing to such request for approval within ten (10) Business Days after Lender has received from Borrower such written request and all information reasonably required by Lender in order to adequately review such request, Lender shall be deemed to have given such approval. 5.1.21 Alterations. Borrower shall obtain Lender's prior written consent to any alterations to any Improvements, on the Property, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed except with respect to alterations that may have a material adverse effect on Borrower's financial condition, the value of the Property or the Net Operating Income. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender's consent shall not be required in connection with any alterations that will not have a material adverse effect on Borrower's financial condition, the value of the Property or the Net Operating Income, provided that such alterations are made in connection with (a) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms of any Lease executed on or before the date hereof, (b) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms and provisions of a Lease and not adversely affecting any structural component of any Improvements, any utility or HVAC system contained in any Improvements or the exterior of any building constituting a part of any Improvements, or (c) alterations performed in connection with the restoration of the Property after the occurrence of a casualty in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to alterations to the Improvements (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) shall at any time exceed Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($2,500,000) (the "Threshold Amount"), Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following: (A) cash, (B) U.S. Obligations, (C) other securities having a rating acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned in connection with any Securitization, or (D) a completion bond or letter of credit issued by a financial institution having a rating by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group of not less than A-1+ if the term of such bond or letter of credit is no longer than three (3) months or, if such term is in excess of three (3) months, issued by a financial institution having a rating that is acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the 41 initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned in connection with any Securitization. Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements on the Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Threshold Amount and applied from time to time at the option of Lender to pay for such alterations or to terminate any of the alterations and restore the Property to the extent necessary to prevent any material adverse effect on the value of the Property. Borrower may request a waiver from Lender of the requirement for such security, and Lender shall respond to such request within ten (10) Business Days. Section 5.2 Negative Covenants. From the date hereof until payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or the earlier release of the Lien of the Mortgage in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that it will not do, directly or indirectly, any of the following: 5.2.1 Operation of Property.

Borrower shall not cancel or otherwise forgive or release any claim or debt (other than termination of Leases in accordance herewith) owed to Borrower by any Person, except for adequate consideration and in the ordinary course of Borrower's business. 42 5.2.6 Affiliate Transactions. Borrower shall not enter into, or be a party to, any transaction with an Affiliate of Borrower or any of the partners of Borrower except in the ordinary course of business and on terms which are fully disclosed to Lender in advance and are no less favorable to Borrower or such Affiliate than would be obtained in a comparable arm's-length transaction with an unrelated third party. 5.2.7 Zoning. Borrower shall not initiate or consent to any zoning reclassification of any portion of the Property or seek any variance under any existing zoning ordinance or use or permit the use of any portion of the Property in any manner that could result in such use becoming a non-conforming use under any zoning ordinance or any other applicable land use law, rule or regulation, without the prior consent of Lender. 5.2.8 Assets.

(b) Borrower further covenants and agrees to deliver to Lender such certifications or other evidence from time to time throughout the term of the Loan, as requested by Lender in its sole discretion, that (A) Borrower is not and does not maintain an "employee benefit plan" as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, or a "governmental plan" within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA; (B) Borrower is not subject to state statutes regulating investments and fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans; and (C) one or more of the following circumstances is true: (i) Equity interests in Borrower are publicly offered securities, within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. ss.2510.3-101(b)(2); (ii) Less than twenty-five percent (25%) of each outstanding class of equity interests in Borrower are held by "benefit plan investors" within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. ss.2510.3-101(f)(2); or 47 (iii) Borrower qualifies as an "operating company" or a "real estate operating company" within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. ss.2510.3-101(c) or (e).

In addition, Borrower shall obtain, if any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated "special flood hazard area", flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Note or (2) the maximum amount of such insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended or such greater amount as Lender shall require, provided that the insurance pursuant to this sentence shall be on terms consistent with the comprehensive all risk insurance policy required under this subsection (i).

The amount of such business income insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower's reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Property for the succeeding twelve (12) month period. All proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance; (iv) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the Property coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A) owner's protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy, which insurance may be maintained by Borrower or third parties; and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called builder's risk completed value form (1) on an occurrence basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to subsection (i) above, (3) including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions; (v) workers' compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the State, and employer's liability insurance with a limit of at least Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000) per accident and per disease per employee, and Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000) for disease aggregate in respect of any work or operations on or about the Property, or in connection with the Property or its operation (if applicable); (vi) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if applicable, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under subsection (i) above; (vii) automobile liability coverage for all owned and non-owned vehicles, including rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits per occurrence, including umbrella coverage, of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000); (viii) earthquake insurance with coverage amounts of not less than the product of the "Probable Maximum Loss" applicable to the Property, as set forth in the seismic report satisfactory to Lender prepared by a seismic engineer or other qualified consultant, multiplied by the replacement cost of the Improvements as such replacement cost may be reasonably estimated by 49 Lender, and with a deductible not to exceed 5% of the total insured value at risk, which coverage shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a claims paying ability rating of "A" or better by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group, provided that Borrower may satisfy the ratings requirement of this Section by providing to Lender a "cut-through" endorsement or "fronted policy" in form and substance approved by Lender issued by an insurer with at least an "A" rating by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group; (ix) insurance against terrorist acts as may be available on a commercial basis; and (x) upon sixty (60) days' written notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.

The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a claims paying ability rating of "AA-" or better by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group. The Policies described in Section 6.1 (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the "Insurance Premiums"), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may satisfy the ratings requirement of this Section by providing to Lender a "cut-through" endorsement or "fronted policy" in form and substance approved by Lender issued by an insurer with at least an "AA-" rating by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group. (c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a). (d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower, or the Tenant, as the insured and Lender as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender. (e) All Policies of insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a)(v) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that: 50 (i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned; (ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days' written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured; (iii) the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policy has not been renewed fifteen (15) days prior to its expiration; and (iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder. (f) if at any time Lender has a good faith reason to believe that all insurance required hereunder is not in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Lender hereby acknowledges that the Policies currently in effect at the Property are in compliance with the requirements of this Section 6.1. Section 6.2 Casualty. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a "Casualty"), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender (a "Restoration") and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. Section 6.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of any portion of the Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the 51 reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt. Section 6.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property: (a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000) and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000), the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000) or the costs of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000) Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration provided that each of the conditions of Section 6.4(b)(i) are satisfied. The term "Net Proceeds" for purposes of this Section 6.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 6.1 (a)(i), (iv), (vi) and (ix) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same ("Insurance Proceeds"), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same ("Condemnation Proceeds"), whichever the case may be. (i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met: (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (B) Intentionally Omitted; (C) At least (i) each Anchor Tenant and (ii) Leases demising in the aggregate a minimum of sixty-five percent (65%) of the non-anchor rentable space in the Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration (or binding leases have been executed by replacement tenants for such space), notwithstanding the occurrence of any such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, and will make all necessary repairs and restorations thereto at their sole cost and expense. 52 (D) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than one hundred eighty(180) days after such damage or destruction or taking, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion; (E) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower; (F) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases for more than 10,000 square feet which if not completed would give rise to a termination of such Lease, (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such taking, as applicable or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii); (G) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations; (H) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements; and (I) such fire or other casualty or taking, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the Improvements. (ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic's or materialman's liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy. 53 (iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the "Casualty Consultant") which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant's fees, shall be paid by Borrower. (iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term "Casualty Retainage" shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor's, subcontractor's or materialman's contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman. 54 (v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month. (vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the "Net Proceeds Deficiency") with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. (vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. (viii) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate, in its discretion. (ix) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title. VII. RESERVE FUNDS Section 7.1 Required Repair Escrow Fund 7.1.1 Deposits. Borrower shall perform the repairs at the Property as set forth on Schedule II hereto (such repairs hereinafter referred to as "Required Repairs"). Borrower shall complete each of the Required Repairs on or before the deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule II. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the amount, if any, set forth on Schedule II to perform each of the Required Repairs. Amounts so deposited with Lender shall 55 be held by Lender in an interest bearing account and shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Required Repair Fund" and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Required Repair Account". 7.1.2 Release of Required Repair Funds. (a) Lender shall disburse to Borrower the Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account from time to time upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (i) Borrower shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and specifies the Required Repairs to be paid, (ii) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, (iii) Lender shall have received a certificate from Borrower (A) stating that all Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, such certificate to be accompanied by a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required to commence and/or complete the Required Repairs, (B) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs performed to be funded by the requested disbursement, and (C) stating that each such Person has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, such certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender, (iv) intentionally deleted; and (v) Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower. Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Required Repair Account unless such requested disbursement is in an amount greater than $25,000 (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the Required Repair Account is less than $25,000, in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the Required Repair Account shall be made) and such disbursement shall be made only upon satisfaction of each condition contained in this Section 7.1.2. Each disbursement for a completed Required Repair shall be in the full amount of all remaining funds reserved for such Required Repair on Schedule II. (b) If (i) the cost of a Required Repair exceeds $25,000, (ii) the contractor performing such Required Repair requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments, a request for reimbursement from the Required Repair Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the Property, (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (D) funds remaining in the Required Repair Account are, in Lender's judgment, sufficient to complete such Required Repair and all other Required Repairs, and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor. Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date following the occurrence of a Triggering Event (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with 56 Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (b) except as otherwise set forth in this Section 7.2, one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the "Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Policies are blanket insurance policies covering other properties of Affiliates of Borrower and provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall not be required to deposit into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund for Insurance Premiums. The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgage. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as (A) Borrower provides to Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all insurance premiums otherwise due hereunder have been paid pursuant to Borrower's blanket insurance policy, which policy shall satisfy the conditions of Section 6.1 hereof, and (B) there shall be no Event of Default then continuing, then Borrower shall have no obligation to escrow insurance premiums as set forth in this Section 7.2 with respect to any such insurance covered by Borrower's blanket insurance policy. Section 7.3 Replacements and Replacement Reserve. 7.3.1 Replacement Reserve Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the date hereof and each Payment Date an amount equal to $9,626.17 (the "Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit") for replacements and repairs required to be made to the Property during the calendar year (collectively, the "Replacements"). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Replacement Reserve Fund" and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Replacement Reserve Account". Lender may increase the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Fund upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain the proper maintenance and operation of the Property. 57 7.3.2 Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account. (a) Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to the Property or for costs which are to be reimbursed from the Required Repair Fund. (b) Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay for the actual approved costs of Replacements or to reimburse Borrower therefor, upon completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of Replacements made pursuant to Section 7.3.2(e)) as determined by Lender. In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account if a Default or an Event of Default exists. (c) Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be in a form specified or approved by Lender and shall specify (i) the specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested, (ii) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Replacement, and (iii) the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Replacement for which such request for disbursement is made. With each request Borrower shall certify that all Replacements have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority. Each request for disbursement shall include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or services provided and, unless Lender has agreed to issue joint checks as described below in connection with a particular Replacement, each request shall include evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of all such amounts. Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e), each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be made only after completion of the Replacement for which disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of completion satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment. (d) Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements with respect to which a disbursement is requested prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account or, at the request of Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in connection with a Replacement. In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment prior to Lender's disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than $25,000 for completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request). 58 (e) If (i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds $25,000, (ii) the contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments, a request for reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the Property, (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (D) funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender's judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required, and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor. (f) Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the final disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in any request shall not be less than $25,000.00. 7.3.3 Performance of Replacements. (a) Borrower shall make Replacements when required in order to keep the Property in condition and repair consistent with similar retail properties in the same market segment in the metropolitan area in which the Property is located, and to keep the Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating. Borrower shall complete all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making each such Replacement. (b) Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders in excess of $25,000 with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in connection with the Replacements. Upon Lender's request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender. (c) In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, Lender shall have the option, after notice to Borrower giving a reasonable time period to cure any such problem, to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement, without providing any prior notice to Borrower and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder. (d) In order to facilitate Lender's completion or making of the Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto the Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make the Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not paid from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgage. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the Replacements in the name of 59 Borrower. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact as follows: (i) to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve Account for the purpose of making or completing the Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to the Replacements as shall be necessary or desirable to complete the Replacements; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against the Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the Replacements, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Property or the rehabilitation and repair of the Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement. (e) Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing the Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Replacement Reserve Fund to make or complete any Replacement; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with the Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Replacement. (f) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender's agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender's engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 to enter onto the Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at the Property, and to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender's representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.3.3 or the completion of Replacements. (g) Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower's expense prior to making a monthly disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account in order to verify completion of the Replacements for which reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional. (h) The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic's, materialman's or other liens (except for those Liens existing on the date of this Agreement which have been approved in writing by Lender). 60 (i) Before each disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic's or materialmen's liens. or other Liens. of any nature have been placed against the Property since the date of recordation of the Mortgage and that title to the Property is free and clear of all Liens (other than the lien of the Mortgage and any other Liens previously approved in writing by Lender, if any). (j) All Replacements shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the Property and applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters. (k) In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmen's compensation insurance, builder's risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with a particular Replacement. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed. Certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to Lender. 7.3.4 Failure to Make Replacements. (a) It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Section 7.3 and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice from Lender. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender may use the Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to completion of the Replacements as provided in Section 7.3.3, or for any other repair or replacement to the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender's right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. (b) Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to payment of the Debt or in any specific order or priority. 7.3.5 Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents. 7.3.6 Indemnification. Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the performance of the Replacements. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all persons or entities supplying labor or materials in connection with the Replacements; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured. 61 Section 7.4 Rollover Reserve. 7.4.1 Deposits to Rollover Reserve Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date the sum of $23,413.25 (the "Rollover Reserve Monthly Deposit"), which amounts shall be deposited with and held by Lender for tenant improvement and leasing commission obligations incurred following the date hereof (collectively, "Leasing Expenses"); provided, however, Borrower shall not be required to make pay the Rollover Reserve Monthly Deposit to Lender during such times as the balance in the Rollover Reserve Account exceeds $842,877.00. In addition, Borrower shall pay to Lender for deposit in the Rollover Reserve Account all Lease Termination Payments; provided, however, no Lease Termination Payments contributed to the Rollover Reserve Account shall be counted towards any balance in the Rollover Reserve Account which serves to limit future contributions to the Rollover Reserve Account from the Rollover Reserve Deposit. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Rollover Reserve Fund" and the account to which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Rollover Reserve Account". Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.4.1, Borrower shall only be required to make Rollover Reserve Monthly Deposits on Payment Dates occurring during Rollover Reserve Periods. 7.4.2 Withdrawal of Rollover Reserve Funds. Lender shall make disbursements from the Rollover Escrow Fund for tenant improvement and leasing commission obligations incurred by Borrower. All such expenses shall be approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion. Lender shall make disbursements as requested by Borrower on a monthly basis in increments of no less than $5,000.00 upon delivery by Borrower of Lender's standard form of draw request accompanied by copies of paid invoices for the amounts requested and, if required by Lender, lien waivers and releases from all parties furnishing materials and/or services in connection with the requested payment. Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower's expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in order to verify completion of improvements for which reimbursement is sought. All earnings or interest on the Rollover Escrow Fund shall be and become part of such Rollover Escrow Fund and shall be disbursed as provided in this Section 7.4. 7.4.3 Letter of Credit in Lieu of Rollover Reserve Monthly Deposit. (a) In lieu of making any Rollover Reserve Monthly Deposit, Borrower may deliver to Lender a Letter of Credit in the amount of the Required Leasing Reserve Deposit. (b) Borrower shall give Lender no less than thirty (30) days notice of Borrower's election to deliver a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 7.4.3(a) and Borrower shall pay to Lender all of Lender's reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith. Borrower shall not be entitled to draw from any such Letter of Credit. 7.4.4 Reduction of Letter of Credit. In the event that, after the delivery of a Letter of Credit in accordance with 7.4.3(a) above, Borrower shall incur Leasing Expenses that would be eligible for a disbursement from the Rollover Reserve Fund, Borrower may, in lieu of receiving such disbursement, reduce the amount of such Letter of Credit by a corresponding amount. Lender agrees to execute such agreements or amendments reasonably requested by Borrower in order 62 to appropriately reduce the amount of such Letter of Credit. Borrower shall not be permitted to reduce the Letter of Credit more than one (1) time in any three-month period. Section 7.5 [INTENTIONALLY DELETED] Section 7.6 [INTENTIONALLY DELETED] Section 7.7 Reserve Funds, Generally. 7.7.1 Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt. 7.7.2 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion. 7.7.3 The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. 7.7.4 The Reserve Funds shall be held in interest bearing accounts and all earnings or interest on a Reserve Fund shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Fund and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in such Reserve Fund. 7.7.5 Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. 7.7.6 Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Reserve Funds. Section 7.8 Provisions Regarding Letters of Credit. 7.8.1 Event of Default. An Event of Default shall occur if Borrower shall have any reimbursement or similar obligation with respect to a Letter of Credit, or if Borrower shall fail to (i) replace or extend any Letter of Credit prior to the expiration thereof or (ii) replace any outstanding Letter of Credit within thirty (30) days of Lender's notice that such Letter of Credit fails to meet the requirements set forth in the definition of Letter of Credit. Lender shall not be required to exercise its rights under Section 7.8.3 below in order to prevent any such Event of Default from occurring and shall not be liable for any losses due to the insolvency of the issuer of the Letter of Credit as a result of any failure or delay by Lender in the exercise of such rights, but if Lender draws on the Letter of Credit and the issuer honors such draw and no Event of Default shall 63 exist, Lender shall deposit the proceeds of such draw into the Reserve Fund with respect to which such Letter of Credit was originally established. 7.8.2 Security for Debt. Each Letter of Credit delivered under this Agreement shall be additional security for the payment of the Debt. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, at its option, to draw on any Letter of Credit and to apply all or any part thereof to the payment of the items for which such Letter of Credit was established or to apply each such Letter of Credit to payment of the Debt in such order, proportion or priority as Lender may determine or to hold such proceeds as security for the Debt. 7.8.3 Additional Rights of Lender. In addition to any other right Lender may have to draw upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender shall have the additional rights to draw in full any Letter of Credit: (a) with respect to any evergreen Letter of Credit, if Lender has received a notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (b) with respect to any Letter of Credit with a stated expiration date, if Lender has not received a notice from the issuing bank that it has renewed the Letter of Credit at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire or a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; or (c) if Lender has received notice that the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall cease to be an Eligible Institution and Borrower has not, within thirty (30) days after notice thereof, obtained a new Letter of Credit with an Eligible Institution. VIII. DEFAULTS Section 8.1 Event of Default. (a) Each of the following events shall constitute an event of default hereunder (an "Event of Default"): (i) if any portion of the Debt is not paid when due; (ii) if any of the Taxes or Other Charges are not paid when the same are due and payable; (iii) if the Policies are not kept in full force and effect, or if certified copies of the Policies are not delivered to Lender upon request; 64 (iv) if Borrower transfers or encumbers any portion of the Property without Lender's prior written consent or otherwise violates the provisions of Section 5.2.13 of this Agreement; (v) if any representation or warranty made by Borrower herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any report, certificate, financial statement or other instrument, agreement or document furnished to Lender shall have been false or misleading in any material respect as of the date the representation or warranty was made; (vi) if Borrower or any guarantor under any guaranty issued in connection with the Loan shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (vii) if a receiver, liquidator or trustee shall be appointed for Borrower or any guarantor under any guarantee issued in connection with the Loan or if Borrower or such guarantor shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or if any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by or against, consented to, or acquiesced in by, Borrower or such guarantor, or if any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of Borrower or such guarantor shall be instituted; provided, however, if such appointment, adjudication, petition or proceeding was involuntary and not consented to by Borrower or such guarantor, upon the same not being discharged, stayed or dismissed within thirty (30) days; (viii) if Borrower attempts to assign its rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any interest herein or therein in contravention of the Loan Documents; (ix) if Borrower breaches any of the negative covenants contained in Section 5.2 or any covenant contained in Section 4.1.30 hereof; (x) with respect to any term, covenant or provision set forth herein which specifically contains a notice requirement or grace period, if Borrower shall be in default under such term, covenant or condition after the giving of such notice or the expiration of such grace period; (xi) [intentionally deleted]; (xii) [intentionally deleted]; (xiii) if Borrower shall continue to be in Default under any of the other terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement not specified in subsections (i) to (x) above, for ten (10) days after notice to Borrower from Lender, in the case of any Default which can be cured by the payment of a sum of money, or for thirty (30) days after notice from Lender in the case of any other Default; provided, however, that if such non-monetary Default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period and provided further that Borrower shall have commenced to cure such Default within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such 30-day period shall be 65 extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Borrower in the exercise of due diligence to cure such Default, such additional period not to exceed sixty (60) days; or (xiv) if there shall be default under any of the other Loan Documents beyond any applicable cure periods contained in such documents, whether as to Borrower or the Property, or if any other such event shall occur or condition shall exist, if the effect of such event or condition is to accelerate the maturity of any portion of the Debt or to permit Lender to accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Debt; (b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such action, without further notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Property, including, without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and the Property, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above, the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding. Section 8.2 Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any "one action" or "election of remedies" law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full. (b) Intentionally Omitted. (c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the "Severed Loan Documents") in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and 66 enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender's intent to exercise its rights under such power. Except as may be required in connection with a securitization pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, (i) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and (ii) the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date. Section 8.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender's rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender's sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. IX. SPECIAL PROVISIONS Section 9.1 Sale of Notes and Securitization. At the request of the holder of the Note and, to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to satisfy the market standards to which the holder of the Note customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with the sale of the Note or participations therein or the first successful securitization (such sale and/or securitization, the "Securitization") of rated single or multi-class securities (the "Securities") secured by or evidencing ownership interests in the Note and the Mortgage, including, without limitation, to: (a) (i) provide such financial and other information with respect to the Property, Borrower and the Manager, (ii) provide budgets relating to the Property and (iii) to perform or permit or cause to be performed or permitted such site inspection, appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews and 67 reports (Phase I's and, if appropriate, Phase II's), engineering reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property, as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the Securitization (the "Provided Information"), together, if customary, with appropriate verification and/or consents of the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies; (b) at Borrower's expense, cause counsel to render opinions, which may be relied upon by the holder of the Note, the Rating Agencies and their respective counsel, agents and representatives, as to non-consolidation, fraudulent conveyance, and true sale and/or lease or any other opinion customary in securitization transactions, with respect to the Property and Borrower and its affiliates which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to the holder of the Note and the Rating Agencies; (c) make such representations and warranties as of the closing date of the Securitization with respect to the Property, Borrower, and the Loan Documents as are customarily provided in securitization transactions and as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies and consistent with the facts covered by such representations and warranties as they exist on the date thereof, including the representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents; and (d) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, designating a new Determination Date) and organizational documents, enter into a lockbox or similar arrangement with respect to the Rents and establish and fund such reserve funds (including, without limitation, reserve funds for deferred maintenance and capital improvements) as may be requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect the Securitization; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Document if such modification or amendment would (i) change the interest rate, the stated maturity or the amortization of principal set forth in the Note, or (ii) modify or amend any other material economic term of the Loan. Without limiting the generality of any of the foregoing, Lender may in Lender's sole discretion, at any time following the date hereof, elect to (i) bifurcate the Note into two (2) or more notes and/or split the Mortgage into two (2) or more mortgages of the same or different priorities or otherwise as determined by and acceptable to Lender and/or (ii) divide the Note into multiple components corresponding to tranches of certificates to be issued in a Securitization each having a notional balance and an interest rate determined by Lender; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Document if the overall effect of such modification or amendment would (y) change the initial weighted average interest rate, the maturity or amortization or principal set forth in the Note, or (z) modify or amend any other material economic term of the Note or the other Loan Documents. Section 9.2 Securitization Indemnification. (a) Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization, including, without limitation, a prospectus, prospectus supplement or private placement memorandum (each, a "Disclosure Document") and may also be included in 68 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects. (b) Borrower agrees to provide in connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, an indemnification certificate (A) certifying that Borrower has carefully examined such memorandum or prospectus, as applicable, including without limitation, the sections entitled "Special Considerations," "Description of the Mortgages," "Description of the Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Property," "The Manager," "The Borrower" and "Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loan," and such sections (and any other sections reasonably requested) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B) indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 9.2, Lender hereunder shall include its officers and directors) or any Affiliate of Lender ("Lehman") that has filed the registration statement relating to the securitization (the "Registration Statement"), each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each Person or entity who controls the Affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the "Lehman Group"), and Lehman, each of its directors and each Person who controls Lehman within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the "Underwriter Group") for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the "Liabilities") to which Lender, the Lehman Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such sections or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such sections or necessary in order to make the statements in such sections or in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Lehman Group and the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender and Lehman in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any such loss claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the memorandum or prospectus or in connection with the underwriting of the debt, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements, rent rolls, environmental site assessment reports and property condition reports with respect to the Property. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification provided for in Clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective whether or not an indemnification certificate described in (A) above is provided and shall be applicable based on information previously provided by Borrower or its Affiliates if Borrower does not provide the indemnification certificate. 69 (c) In connection with filings under the Exchange Act, Borrower agrees to (i) indemnify Lender, the Lehman Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the Lehman Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Provided Information a material fact required to be stated in the Provided Information in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Lehman Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lehman Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities. (d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9.2, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and its notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 9.2 the indemnifying party shall be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party to parties. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one such separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified party. (e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreements provided for in Section 9.2(b) or (c) is or are for any reason held to be unenforceable by an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.2(b) or (c), the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) Lehman's and Borrower's relative 70 knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation. (f) The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt. Section 9.3 [INTENTIONALLY DELETED] Section 9.4 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower's interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower in the event that any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by or consented to by Borrower. 72 Section 9.5 Termination of Manager. If (a) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (b) at the Maturity Date, the Debt is not repaid in full, or (c) a default by Manager under the Management Agreement shall have occurred and not be remedied within any applicable grace or cure period provided therein or the Manager shall become insolvent, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, terminate the Management Agreement and replace the Manager with a manager approved by Lender on terms and conditions satisfactory to Lender, it being understood and agreed that the management fee for such replacement manager shall not exceed then prevailing market rates. Section 9.6 Servicer. At the option of Lender and at no expense to Borrower, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the "Servicer") selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the "Servicing Agreement") between Lender and Servicer. X. MISCELLANEOUS Section 10.1 Survival. This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as all or any of the Debt is outstanding and unpaid unless a longer period is expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.

Section 10.11 Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.

Additionally, Borrower shall not be responsible for any costs incurred by Lender in connection with a Securitization. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Deposit Account. (b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and 78 disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.

SECTION 1.2 ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS. Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns to Lender all of Borrower's right, title and interest in and to all current and future Leases and Rents; it being intended by Borrower that this assignment constitutes a present, absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only.

Borrower shall hold the Rents, or a portion thereof sufficient to discharge all current sums due on the Debt, for use in the payment of such sums. SECTION 1.3 SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Security Instrument is both a real property mortgage and a "security agreement" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code. The Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Borrower in the Property. By executing and delivering this Security Instrument, Borrower hereby grants to Lender, as security for the Obligations (hereinafter defined), a security interest in the Fixtures, the Equipment and the Personal Property to the full extent that the Fixtures, the Equipment and the Personal Property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the Property so subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being called the "Collateral"). If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and may exercise immediately and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Lender may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or demand of Lender after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, at its expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a convenient place (at the Land if tangible property) reasonably acceptable to Lender. Borrower shall pay to Lender on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys' fees, incurred or paid by Lender in protecting its interest in the Collateral and in enforcing its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to the Collateral sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) business days prior to such action, shall, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, constitute reasonable notice to Borrower. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may, except as otherwise required by applicable law, be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper. Borrower's (Debtor's) principal place of business is as set forth on page one hereof and the address of Lender (Secured Party) is as set forth on page one hereof. SECTION 1.4 FIXTURE FILING. Certain of the Property is or will become "fixtures" (as that term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) on the Land, described or referred to in this Security Instrument, and this Security Instrument, upon being filed for record in the real estate records of the city or county wherein such fixtures are situated, shall operate also as a financing statement naming Borrower as the Debtor and Lender as the Secured Party filed as a fixture filing in accordance with the applicable provisions of said Uniform Commercial Code upon such of the Property that is or may become fixtures. SECTION 1.5 PLEDGES OF MONIES HELD. Borrower hereby pledges to Lender any and all monies now or hereafter held by Lender or on behalf of Lender, including, without limitation, any sums deposited in the Accounts, the Reserve Funds and Net Proceeds, as additional security for the Obligations until expended or applied as provided in this Security Instrument. CONDITIONS TO GRANT TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the above granted and described Property unto and to the use and benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns, forever; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, these presents are upon the express condition that, if Borrower shall well and truly pay to Lender the Debt at the time and in the manner provided in the Note, the Loan Agreement and this Security Instrument, shall well and truly perform the Other Obligations as set forth in this Security Instrument and shall well and truly abide by and comply with each and every covenant and condition set forth herein and in the Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, these presents and the estate hereby granted shall cease, terminate and be void; provided, however, that Borrower's obligation to indemnify and hold harmless Lender pursuant to the provisions hereof shall survive any such payment or release. Article 2 - DEBT AND OBLIGATIONS SECURED SECTION 2.1 DEBT. This Security Instrument and the grants, assignments and transfers made in Article 1 are given for the purpose of securing the Debt which by its definition (as set forth in Loan Agreement) includes, but is not limited to, the obligations of Borrower to pay to Lender the principal and interest owing pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Note.

SECTION 3.5 WASTE. Borrower shall not commit or suffer any waste of the Property or make any change in the use of the Property which will in any way materially increase the risk of fire or other hazard arising out of the operation of the Property, or take any action that might invalidate or allow the cancellation of any Policy, or do or permit to be done thereon anything that may in any way materially impair the value of the Property or the security of this Security Instrument. Borrower will not, without the prior written consent of Lender, permit any drilling or exploration for or extraction, removal, or production of any minerals from the surface or the subsurface of the Land, regardless of the depth thereof or the method of mining or extraction thereof. SECTION 3.6 PAYMENT FOR LABOR AND MATERIALS. (a) Borrower will promptly pay when due all bills and costs for labor, materials, and specifically fabricated materials ("Labor and Material Costs") incurred in connection with the Property and never permit to exist beyond the due date thereof in respect of the Property or any part thereof any lien or security interest, even though inferior to the liens and the security interests hereof, and in any event never permit to be created or exist in respect of the Property or any part thereof any other or additional lien or security interest other than the liens or security interests hereof except for the Permitted Encumbrances. (b) After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any of the Labor and Material Costs, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, (ii) Borrower is permitted to do so under the provisions of any other mortgage, deed of trust or deed to secure debt affecting the Property, (iii) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of the Labor and Material Costs from Borrower and from the Property or Borrower shall have paid all of the Labor and Material Costs under protest, (iv) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder, (v) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost, and (vi) Borrower shall have furnished the security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender to insure the payment of any contested Labor and Material Costs, together with all interest and penalties thereon.

SECTION 3.8 CHANGE OF NAME, IDENTITY OR STRUCTURE. Borrower shall not change Borrower's name, identity (including its trade name or names) or, if not an individual, Borrower's corporate, partnership or other structure without notifying Lender of such change in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such change and, in the case of a change in Borrower's structure, without first obtaining the prior written consent of Lender. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender, prior to or contemporaneously with the effective date of any such change, any financing statement or financing statement change required by Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest granted herein. At the request of Lender, Borrower shall execute a certificate in form satisfactory to Lender listing the trade names under which Borrower intends to operate the Property, and representing and warranting that Borrower does business under no other trade name with respect to the Property. Article 4 - OBLIGATIONS AND RELIANCES SECTION 4.1 RELATIONSHIP OF BORROWER AND LENDER. The relationship between Borrower and Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor, and Lender has no fiduciary or other special relationship with Borrower, and no term or condition of any of the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between Borrower and Lender to be other than that of debtor and creditor. SECTION 4.2 NO RELIANCE ON LENDER. The general partners, members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners of Borrower are experienced in the ownership and operation of properties similar to the Property, and Borrower and Lender are relying solely upon such expertise and business plan in connection with the ownership and operation of the Property. Borrower is not relying on Lender's expertise, business acumen or advice in connection with the Property. SECTION 4.3 NO LENDER OBLIGATIONS. (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsections 1.1(h) and (n) or Section 1.2, Lender is not undertaking the performance of (i) any obligations under the Leases; or (ii) any obligations with respect to such agreements, contracts, certificates, instruments, franchises, permits, trademarks, licenses and other documents. (a) By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled or to be given to Lender pursuant to this Security Instrument, the Loan Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any officer's certificate, balance sheet, statement of profit and loss or other financial statement, survey, appraisal, or insurance policy, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted, consented to, or affirmed the sufficiency, the legality or effectiveness of same, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute any warranty or affirmation with respect thereto by Lender. SECTION 4.4 RELIANCE. Borrower recognizes and acknowledges that in accepting the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, Lender is expressly and primarily relying on the truth and accuracy of the warranties and representations set forth in Section 4.1 of the Loan Agreement without any obligation to investigate the Property and notwithstanding any investigation of the Property by Lender; that such reliance existed on the part of Lender prior to the date hereof, that the warranties and representations are a material inducement to Lender in making the Loan; and that Lender would not be willing to make the Loan and accept this Security Instrument in the absence of the warranties and representations as set forth in Section 4.1 of the Loan Agreement. Article 5 - FURTHER ASSURANCES SECTION 5.1 RECORDING OF SECURITY INSTRUMENT, ETC. Borrower forthwith upon the execution and delivery of this Security Instrument and thereafter, from time to time, will cause this Security Instrument and any of the other Loan Documents creating a lien or security interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Property and each instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect and perfect the lien or security interest hereof upon, and the interest of Lender in, the Property. Borrower will pay all taxes, filing, registration or recording fees, and all expenses incident to the preparation, execution, acknowledgment and/or recording of the Note, this Security Instrument, the other Loan Documents, any note, deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Property and any instrument of further assurance, and any modification or amendment of the foregoing documents, and all federal, state, county and municipal taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of this Security Instrument, any deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Property or any instrument of further assurance, and any modification or amendment of the foregoing documents, except where prohibited by law so to do. SECTION 5.2 FURTHER ACTS, ETC. Borrower will, at the cost of Borrower, and without expense to Lender, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, deeds of trust, assignments, notices of assignments, transfers and assurances as Lender shall, from time to time, reasonably require, for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring, and confirming unto Lender the property and rights hereby deeded, granted, bargained, sold, conveyed, confirmed, pledged, assigned, warranted and transferred or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which Borrower may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Lender, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Security Instrument or for filing, registering or recording this Security Instrument, or for complying with all Legal Requirements. Borrower, on demand, will execute and deliver, and in the event it shall fail to so execute and deliver, hereby authorizes Lender to execute in the name of Borrower or without the signature of Borrower to the extent Lender may lawfully do so, one or more financing statements to evidence more effectively the security interest of Lender in the Property. Borrower grants to Lender an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of exercising and perfecting any and all rights and remedies available to Lender at law and in equity, including without limitation such rights and remedies available to Lender pursuant to this Section 5.2. Nothing contained in this Section 5.2 shall be deemed to create an obligation on the part of Borrower to pay any costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the Securitization or other sale or transfer of the Loan. SECTION 5.3 CHANGES IN TAX, DEBT, CREDIT AND DOCUMENTARY STAMP LAWS. (a) If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Security Instrument which deducts the Debt from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Lender's interest in the Property, Borrower will pay the tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of tax by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury then Lender shall have the option by written notice of not less than one hundred twenty (120) days to declare the Debt immediately due and payable. (a) Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed against the Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property, or any part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of this Security Instrument or the Debt. If such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by law, Lender shall have the option, by written notice of not less than one hundred twenty (120) days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable. (b) If at any time the United States of America, any State thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Note, this Security Instrument, or any of the other Loan Documents or impose any other tax or charge on the same, Borrower will pay for the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. SECTION 5.4 SPLITTING OF MORTGAGE. This Security Instrument and the Note shall, at any time until the same shall be fully paid and satisfied, at the sole election of Lender, be split or divided into two or more notes and two or more security instruments, each of which shall cover all or a portion of the Property to be more particularly described therein.

Article 6 - DUE ON SALE/ENCUMBRANCE SECTION 6.1 LENDER RELIANCE. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has examined and relied on the experience of Borrower and its partners, members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners in owning and operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to make the Loan, and will continue to rely on Borrower's ownership of the Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Property as security for repayment of the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the Other Obligations, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the Property. SECTION 6.2 NO SALE/ENCUMBRANCE. Borrower nor any other Person having an ownership or beneficial interest, direct or indirect, in Borrower shall transfer the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein or permit or suffer the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein to be transferred other than as expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement. Article 7 - RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT SECTION 7.1 REMEDIES.

Where the Property consists of Real Property, Personal Property, Equipment or Fixtures, whether or not such Personal Property or Equipment is located on or within the Real Property, Lender shall be entitled to elect to exercise its rights and remedies against any or all of the Real Property, Personal Property, Equipment and Fixtures in such order and manner as is now or hereafter permitted by applicable law; (i) Lender shall be entitled to elect to proceed against any or all of the Real Property, Personal Property, Equipment and Fixtures in any manner permitted under applicable law; and if Lender so elects pursuant to applicable law, the power of sale herein granted shall be exercisable with respect to all or any of the Real Property, Personal Property, Equipment and Fixtures covered hereby, as designated by Lender, and Lender is hereby authorized and empowered to conduct any such sale of any Real Property, Personal Property, Equipment and Fixtures in accordance with the procedures applicable to Real Property; (ii) Should Lender elect to sell any portion of the Property which is Real Property or which is Personal Property, Equipment or Fixtures that the Lender has elected under applicable law to sell together with Real Property in accordance with the laws governing a sale of Real Property, Lender shall give such notice of Event of Default, if any, and election to sell as may then be required by law. Thereafter, upon the expiration of such time and the giving of such notice of sale as may then be required by law, and without the necessity of any demand on Borrower, Lender at the time and place specified in the notice of sale, shall sell such Real Property or part thereof at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States. Lender may from time to time postpone any sale hereunder by public announcement thereof at the time and place noticed therefor; (iii) If the Property consists of several lots, parcels or items of property, Lender shall, subject to applicable law, (A) designate the order in which such lots, parcels or items shall be offered for sale or sold, or (B) elect to sell such lots, parcels or items through a single sale, or through two or more successive sales, or in any other manner Lender designates. Any Person, including Borrower or Lender, may purchase at any sale hereunder. Should Lender desire that more than one sale or other disposition of the Property be conducted, Lender shall, subject to applicable law, cause such sales or dispositions to be conducted simultaneously, or successively, on the same day, or at such different days or times and in such order as Lender may designate, and no such sale shall terminate or otherwise affect the lien of this Security Instrument on any part of the Property not sold until all the Debt has been paid in full. In the event Lender elects to dispose of the Property through more than one sale, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, Borrower agrees to pay the costs and expenses of each such sale and of any judicial proceedings wherein such sale may be made; (e) institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained herein, in the Note, the Loan Agreement or in the other Loan Documents; (f) recover judgment on the Note either before, during or after any proceedings for the enforcement of this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents; (g) apply for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or conservator of the Property, without notice and without regard for the adequacy of the security for the Debt and without regard for the solvency of Borrower, any guarantor, indemnitor with respect to the Loan or of any Person, liable for the payment of the Debt; (h) the license granted to Borrower under Section 1.2 hereof shall automatically be revoked and Lender may enter into or upon the Property, either personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys and dispossess Borrower and its agents and servants therefrom, without liability for trespass, damages or otherwise and exclude Borrower and its agents or servants wholly therefrom, and take possession of all books, records and accounts relating thereto and Borrower agrees to surrender possession of the Property and of such books, records and accounts to Lender upon demand, and thereupon Lender may (i) use, operate, manage, control, insure, maintain, repair, restore and otherwise deal with all and every part of the Property and conduct the business thereat; (ii) complete any construction on the Property in such manner and form as Lender deems advisable; (iii) make alterations, additions, renewals, replacements and improvements to or on the Property; (iv) exercise all rights and powers of Borrower with respect to the Property, whether in the name of Borrower or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to make, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and demand, sue for, collect and receive all Rents of the Property and every part thereof; (v) require Borrower to pay monthly in advance to Lender, or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of such part of the Property as may be occupied by Borrower; (vi) require Borrower to vacate and surrender possession of the Property to Lender or to such receiver and, in default thereof, Borrower may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise; and (vii) apply the receipts from the Property to the payment of the Debt, in such order, priority and proportions as Lender shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion after deducting therefrom all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the aforesaid operations and all amounts necessary to pay the Taxes, Other Charges, insurance and other expenses in connection with the Property, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Lender, its counsel, agents and employees; (i) exercise any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) the right to take possession of the Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal Property or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Lender may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal Property, and (ii) request Borrower at its expense to assemble the Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal Property and make it available to Lender at a convenient place acceptable to Lender. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to the Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal Property sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) days prior to such action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Borrower; (j) apply any sums then deposited or held in escrow or otherwise by or on behalf of Lender in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document to the payment of the following items in any order in its uncontrolled discretion: (i) Taxes and Other Charges; (ii) Insurance Premiums; (iii) Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Note; (iv) Amortization of the unpaid principal balance of the Note; (v) All other sums payable pursuant to the Note, the Loan Agreement, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation advances made by Lender pursuant to the terms of this Security Instrument; (k) pursue such other remedies as Lender may have under applicable law; or (l) apply the undisbursed balance of any Net Proceeds Deficiency deposit, together with interest thereon, to the payment of the Debt in such order, priority and proportions as Lender shall deem to be appropriate in its discretion. In the event of a sale, by foreclosure, power of sale or otherwise, of less than all of Property, this Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest on the remaining portion of the Property unimpaired and without loss of priority. Lender reserves the right at any time to subordinate the lien of this Security Instrument to any one or more of the leases now or in the future pertaining to any part of the Property upon the unilateral execution and recording by Lender of said subordination agreement prior to the filing of any action by Lender to foreclose upon the Property, such subordination agreement to be effective as of the date of execution of this Security Instrument as to those leases identified by Lender in such subordination agreement.

SECTION 7.3 RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may remedy such Event of Default in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower, and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder. Lender is authorized to enter upon action or proceeding to the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose this Security Instrument or collect the Debt, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys' fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 7.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after notice from Lender that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor. SECTION 7.4 ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS.

SECTION 7.5 RECOVERY OF SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID. Lender shall have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by Borrower existing at the time such earlier action was commenced. SECTION 7.6 EXAMINATION OF BOOKS AND RECORDS. At reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, Lender, its agents, accountants and attorneys shall have the right to examine the records, books, management and other papers of Borrower which reflect upon their financial condition, at the Property or at any office regularly maintained by Borrower where the books and records are located. Lender and its agents shall have the right to make copies and extracts from the foregoing records and other papers. In addition, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, Lender, its agents, accountants and attorneys shall have the right to examine and audit the books and records of Borrower pertaining to the income, expenses and operation of the Property during reasonable business hours at any office of Borrower where the books and records are located. This Section 7.6 shall apply throughout the term of the Note and without regard to whether an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing. SECTION 7.7 OTHER RIGHTS, ETC. (a) The failure of Lender to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Security Instrument. Borrower shall not be relieved of Borrower's obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of Lender to comply with any request of Borrower or any guarantor or indemnitor with respect to the Loan to take any action to foreclose this Security Instrument or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Note or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property, or of any person liable for the Debt or any portion thereof, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by Lender extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Note, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents.

Possession by Lender shall not be deemed an election of judicial relief, if any such possession is requested or obtained, with respect to any Property or collateral not in Lender's possession. (c) Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other security held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion, may elect. Lender may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to foreclose this Security Instrument. The rights of Lender under this Security Instrument shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Lender shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity. SECTION 7.8 RIGHT TO RELEASE ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY. Lender may release any portion of the Property for such consideration as Lender may require without, as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing or affecting the lien or priority of this Security Instrument, or improving the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by Lender for such release, and may accept by assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Lender may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. This Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest in the remaining portion of the Property. SECTION 7.9 VIOLATION OF LAWS. If the Property is not in material compliance with Legal Requirements, Lender may impose additional requirements upon Borrower in connection herewith including, without limitation, monetary reserves or financial equivalents.

Section 3.2 OTHER REMEDIES. Nothing contained in this Assignment and no act done or omitted by Lender pursuant to the power and rights granted to Lender hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver by Lender of its rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement, the Note, or the other Loan Documents and this Assignment is made and accepted without prejudice to any of the rights and remedies possessed by Lender under the terms thereof.

Section 3.3 OTHER SECURITY. Lender may take or release other security for the payment of the Debt, may release any party primarily or secondarily liable therefor and may apply any other security held by it to the reduction or satisfaction of the Debt without prejudice to any of its rights under this Assignment. Section 3.4 NON-WAIVER. The exercise by Lender of the option granted it in Section 3.1 of this Assignment and the collection of the Rents and sums due under the Lease Guaranties and the application thereof as herein provided shall not be considered a waiver of any default by Borrower under the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Leases, this Assignment or the other Loan Documents. The failure of Lender to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Assignment. Borrower shall not be relieved of Borrower's obligations hereunder by reason of (a) the failure of Lender to comply with any request of Borrower or any other party to take any action to enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Loan Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, (b) the release regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property, or (c) any agreement or stipulation by Lender extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of this Assignment, the Loan Agreement, the Note, or the other Loan Documents. Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other security held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion, may elect. Lender may take any action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to enforce its rights under this Assignment. The rights of Lender under this Assignment shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Section 3.5 BANKRUPTCY. (a) Upon or at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to proceed in its own name or in the name of Borrower in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of any Lease, including, without limitation, the right to file and prosecute, to the exclusion of Borrower, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case in respect of the lessee under such Lease under the Bankruptcy Code. (b) If there shall be filed by or against Borrower a petition under the Bankruptcy Code, and Borrower, as lessor under any Lease, shall determine to reject such Lease pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, then Borrower shall give Lender not less than ten (10) days' prior notice of the date on which Borrower shall apply to the bankruptcy court for authority to reject the Lease. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon Borrower within such ten-day period a notice stating that (i) Lender demands that Borrower assume and assign the Lease to Lender pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) Lender covenants to cure or provide adequate assurance of future performance under the Lease. If Lender serves upon Borrower the notice described in the preceding sentence, Borrower shall not seek to reject the Lease and shall comply with the demand provided for in clause (i) of the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the notice shall have been given, subject to the performance by Lender of the covenant provided for in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence. ARTICLE 4 - NO LIABILITY, FURTHER ASSURANCES Section 4.1 NO LIABILITY OF LENDER. This Assignment shall not be construed to bind Lender to the performance of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any Lease or Lease Guaranty or otherwise impose any obligation upon Lender. Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Borrower resulting from Lender's failure to let the Property after an Event of Default or from any other act or omission of Lender in managing the Property after an Event of Default unless such loss is caused by the willful misconduct and bad faith of Lender. Lender shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under the Leases or any Lease Guaranties or under or by reason of this Assignment and Borrower shall, and hereby agrees to, indemnify Lender for, and to hold Lender harmless from, any and all liability, loss or damage which may or might be incurred under the Leases, any Lease Guaranties or under or by reason of this Assignment and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever, including the defense of any such claims or demands which may be asserted against Lender by reason of any alleged obligations and undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in the Leases or any Lease Guaranties. Should Lender incur any such liability, the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees, shall be secured by this Assignment and by the Mortgage encumbering the Property and the other Loan Documents and Borrower shall reimburse Lender therefor immediately upon demand and upon the failure of Borrower so to do Lender may, at its option, declare all sums secured by this Assignment and by the Mortgage encumbering the Property and the other Loan Documents immediately due and payable. This Assignment shall not operate to place any obligation or liability for the control, care, management or repair of the Property upon Lender, nor for the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of the Leases or any Lease Guaranties; nor shall it operate to make Lender responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property by the tenants or any other parties, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property including, without limitation, the presence of any Hazardous Substances (as defined in the Mortgage), or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property resulting in loss or injury or death to any tenant, licensee, employee or stranger. Section 4.2 NO MORTGAGEE IN POSSESSION. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as constituting Lender a "mortgagee in possession" in the absence of the taking of actual possession of the Property by Lender. In the exercise of the powers herein granted Lender, no liability shall be asserted or enforced against Lender, all such liability being expressly waived and released by Borrower. Section 4.3 FURTHER ASSURANCES.

All capitalized words and phrases not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement. The undersigned, GLIMCHER PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited partnership, having an address at 150 East Gay Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215 (hereinafter referred to as "Guarantor") hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Lender the prompt and unconditional payment of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower (hereinafter defined). It is expressly understood and agreed that this is a continuing guaranty and that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder are and shall be absolute under any and all circumstances, without regard to the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Note, the Loan Agreement, or the other Loan Documents, a true copy of each of said documents Guarantor hereby acknowledges having received and reviewed. The term "Debt" as used in this Guaranty of Recourse Obligations of Borrower (the "Guaranty") shall mean the principal sum evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Instrument, or so much thereof as may be outstanding from time to time, together with interest thereon at the rate of interest specified in the Note and all other sums other than principal or interest which may or shall become due and payable pursuant to the provisions of the Note, the Loan Agreement, or the other Loan Documents. The term "Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower" as used in this Guaranty shall mean all obligations and liabilities of Borrower for which Borrower shall be personally liable pursuant to the Note, the Loan Agreement, or the other Loan Documents. Any indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor now or hereafter existing (including, but not limited to, any rights to subrogation Guarantor may have as a result of any payment by Guarantor under this Guaranty), together with any interest thereon, shall be, and such indebtedness is, hereby deferred, postponed and subordinated to the prior payment in full of the Debt. Until payment in full of the Debt (and including interest accruing on the Note after the commencement of a proceeding by or against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code and the regulations adopted and promulgated pursuant thereto, which interest the parties agree shall remain a claim that is prior and superior to any claim of Guarantor notwithstanding any contrary practice, custom or ruling in cases under the Bankruptcy Code generally), Guarantor agrees not to accept any payment or satisfaction of any kind of indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor and hereby assigns such indebtedness to Lender, including the right to file proof of claim and to vote thereon in connection with any such proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, including the right to vote on any plan of reorganization. Further, if Guarantor shall comprise more than one person, firm or corporation, Guarantor agrees that until such payment in full of the Debt, (a) no one of them shall accept payment from the others by way of contribution on account of any payment made hereunder by such party to Lender, (b) no one of them will take any action to exercise or enforce any rights to such contribution, and (c) if any of Guarantor should receive any payment, satisfaction or security for any indebtedness of Borrower to any of Guarantor or for any contribution by the others of Guarantor for payment made hereunder by the recipient to Lender, the same shall be delivered to Lender in the form received, endorsed or assigned as may be appropriate for application on account of, or as security for, the Debt and until so delivered, shall be held in trust for Lender as security for the Debt. Guarantor agrees that, with or without notice or demand, Guarantor will reimburse Lender, to the extent that such reimbursement is not made by Borrower, for all expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with the collection of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower or any portion thereof or with the enforcement of this Guaranty. All moneys available to Lender for application in payment or reduction of the Debt may be applied by Lender in such manner and in such amounts and at such time or times and in such order and priority as Lender may see fit to the payment or reduction of such portion of the Debt as Lender may elect. Guarantor hereby waives notice of the acceptance hereof, presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of protest, or any and all notice of non-payment, non-performance or non-observance, or other proof, or notice or demand, whereby to charge Guarantor therefor. Guarantor further agrees that the validity of this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected or impaired (a) by reason of the assertion by Lender of any rights or remedies which it may have under or with respect to either the Note, the Loan Agreement, or the other Loan Documents, against any person obligated thereunder or the Properties covered under the Loan Agreement, or (b) by reason of any failure to file or record any of such instruments or to take or perfect any security intended to be provided thereby, or (c) by reason of the release of any of the Properties covered under the Loan Agreement or other collateral for the Loan, or (d) by reason of Lender's failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any such right or remedy or any right or remedy Lender may have hereunder or in respect to this Guaranty, or (e) by reason of the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code by or against any person obligated under the Note, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or the death of any Guarantor, or (f) by reason of any payment made on the Debt or any other indebtedness arising under the Note, the Loan Agreement, or the other Loan Documents, whether made by Borrower or Guarantor or any other person, which is required to be refunded pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency law; it being understood that no 2 payment so refunded shall be considered as a payment of any portion of the Debt, nor shall it have the effect of reducing the liability of Guarantor hereunder. It is further understood, that if Borrower shall have taken advantage of, or be subject to the protection of, any provision in the Bankruptcy Code, the effect of which is to prevent or delay Lender from taking any remedial action against Borrower, including the exercise of any option Lender has to declare the Debt due and payable on the happening of any default or event by which under the terms of the Note, the Loan Agreement, or the other Loan Documents, the Debt shall become due and payable, Lender may, as against Guarantor, nevertheless, declare the Debt due and payable and enforce any or all of its rights and remedies against Guarantor provided for herein. Guarantor further covenants that this Guaranty shall remain and continue in full force and effect as to any modification, extension or renewal of the Note, the Loan Agreement, or the other Loan Documents, that Lender shall not be under a duty to protect, secure or insure any Property covered under the Loan Agreement, and that other indulgences or forbearance may be granted under any or all of such documents, all of which may be made, done or suffered without notice to, or further consent of, Guarantor. As a further inducement to Lender to make the Loan and in consideration thereof, Guarantor further covenants and agrees (a) that in any action or proceeding brought by Lender against Guarantor on this Guaranty, Guarantor shall and does hereby waive trial by jury, (b) that the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York, or, in a case involving diversity of citizenship, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, shall have exclusive jurisdiction of any such action or proceeding, and (c) that service of any summons and complaint or other process in any such action or proceeding may be made by registered or certified mail directed to Guarantor at Guarantor's address set forth above, Guarantor waiving personal service thereof. Nothing in this Guaranty will be deemed to preclude Lender from bringing an action or proceeding with respect hereto in any other jurisdiction. This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and upon any default of Borrower under the Note, the Loan Agreement, or the other Loan Documents, Lender may, at its option, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against Guarantor to collect and recover the full amount of the liability hereunder or any portion thereof, without proceeding against Borrower or any other person, or foreclosing upon, selling, or otherwise disposing of or collecting or applying against any of the mortgaged property or other collateral for the Loan. Guarantor hereby waives the pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to the obligation hereunder. Each reference herein to Lender shall be deemed to include its successors and assigns, to whose favor the provisions of this Guaranty shall also inure. Each reference herein to Guarantor shall be deemed to include the heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns of Guarantor, all of whom shall be bound by the provisions of this Guaranty. If any party hereto shall be a partnership, the agreements and obligations on the part of Guarantor herein contained shall remain in force and application notwithstanding any changes in the individuals composing the partnership and the term "Guarantor" shall include any altered or successive partnerships but the 3 predecessor partnerships and their partners shall not thereby be released from any obligations or liability hereunder. Guarantor (and its representative, executing below, if any) has full power, authority and legal right to execute this Guaranty and to perform all its obligations under this Guaranty. All understandings, representations and agreements heretofore had with respect to this Guaranty are merged into this Guaranty which alone fully and completely expresses the agreement of Guarantor and Lender. This Guaranty may be executed in one or more counterparts by some or all of the parties hereto, each of which counterparts shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute a single agreement of Guaranty. The failure of any party hereto to execute this Guaranty, or any counterpart hereof, shall not relieve the other signatories from their obligations hereunder. This Guaranty may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Lender or Borrower, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought. This Guaranty shall be governed, construed and interpreted as to validity, enforcement and in all other respects, in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

The Deposit shall be paid to Seller at the Closing as a credit against the Purchase Price. Purchaser shall provide the Escrow Holder with its tax identification number, and all interest shall be for Purchaser's account for tax purposes. In addition to the Initial Deposit, Purchaser shall deposit five (5) fully executed copies of this Agreement with the Escrow Holder immediately after both parties have executed it. The date of such deposit shall be acknowledged by the 3 Escrow Holder on all copies, and such date shall be the "Effective Date" of this Agreement. The Escrow Holder shall retain one copy of this Agreement and deliver two (2) copies hereof to each of Purchaser and Seller and one (1) copy to the Title Company. The Escrow Holder, will cause Stewart Title Guaranty Company, to issue an Insured Closing Letter, to Seller, in a form that is satisfactory to Seller, within five (5) days after the Effective Date.

Failure to Close ---------------- 3.1 PURCHASER'S DEFAULT If the sale is not consummated because of a default on the part of Purchaser, then, as Seller's sole and exclusive remedy for such default, Seller may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Purchaser. In such event, Escrow Holder must deliver the Deposit to Seller as liquidated damages for Purchaser's default. Such amount is agreed upon by and between Seller and Purchaser as liquidated damages due to the difficulty and inconvenience of ascertaining and measuring actual damages, and the uncertainty thereof. The remedy set forth in this Section 3.1 is Seller's sole and exclusive remedy for the sale not being consummated due to a default by Purchaser. However, nothing contained in this Section 3.1 limits Purchaser's liability for a default in the performance of any representations, covenants, indemnities or obligations that survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, and Seller will have the right to pursue any remedies available at law or in equity against Purchaser for a breach of such obligations. In no event will Purchaser ever be liable to Seller hereunder for any punitive, speculative, or consequential damages. 4 3.2 Seller's Default If Seller defaults under this Agreement, then Purchaser may either (i) enforce specific performance hereunder and be entitled to recover Purchaser's costs and attorney fees in any such proceeding or (ii) terminate this Agreement and obtain the return of the Deposit. If Purchaser elects to enforce specific performance hereunder, it must file suit in the appropriate court within thirty (30) calendar days after the scheduled Closing Date (and Purchaser's failure to do so will constitute a waiver of the remedy of specific performance hereunder). The remedies set forth in this Section 3.2 are Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedies. In no event will Seller ever be liable to Purchaser hereunder for any punitive, speculative, or consequential damages. 3.3 Closing. The parties hereto agree to conduct a closing of this sale (the "Closing") at 12:00 Noon Central Time on or before January 17, 2006 (the "Closing Date"), (unless extended pursuant to the terms and conditions of Article II (b) of this Agreement) and if extended pursuant to the terms and conditions of Article II (b), in no event later than January 31, 2006 (the "Outside Closing Date"), in the principal office of the Escrow Holder, or at such other place as may be agreed upon by the parties hereto. This Agreement shall terminate if transfer of title is not completed by the earlier to occur of the Closing Date or the Outside Closing Date (unless such failure to close is due to Seller's default, the date for Closing is extended pursuant to the matters described in Sections 5.4, 5.5, 5.6 and Article VI hereof, or the date for Closing is extended by agreement of the parties, which agreement shall be confirmed in writing). 5 3.4 Closing Procedure.

Both parties will execute and deliver such other documents as are reasonably required to affect the intent of this Agreement. Article IV. Prorations of Rents, Taxes, Etc.; Expenses ------------------------------------------ 4.1 Effective Time of Proration. All revenues, taxes, and property expenses shall be prorated at Closing between Purchaser and Seller as of 12:01 A.M. on the Closing Date, with Purchaser having the benefits and burdens of ownership on and after the Closing Date and Seller having such benefits and burdens prior to the Closing Date. 4.2 Real Property Taxes. Seller shall be responsible for real property taxes for all periods prior to the Closing Date, and Purchaser shall be responsible for real property taxes for all periods from and after the Closing Date. Actual tax or assessment figures will be used for the proration or, if actual figures are not available, then the most recent assessed value of the Real Property will be used, multiplied by the current tax or assessment rate, with a subsequent cash adjustment to be made between Purchaser and Seller when actual tax or assessment figures are available. 4.3 Security Deposits. All security deposits that have not been forfeited by the tenants under leases of space in the Property shall be transferred to Purchaser, or a credit shall be given for any such security deposits not transferred to Purchaser. A list of all such security deposits shall be attached as an exhibit to the Assignment and Assumption of Leases and Security Deposits delivered at Closing. Purchaser shall assume responsibility for all security deposits actually transferred or for which a credit is given, from and after the Closing Date. 8 4.4 Personal Property Taxes, Permit Fees, Service Contracts. Personal property taxes, annual permit or inspection fees, sewer charges, fees under service contracts, utility charges, and other expenses normal to the operation and maintenance of the Property shall also be prorated as of the Closing Date. 4.5 Rents. Rents and/or additional rents under the Leases shall be prorated as and when collected, subject to the following: In the event that there are any past due rentals for any month preceding the month of Closing and/or for the month of Closing owing by the tenant(s) at the Closing Date (hereinafter referred to as the "Past Due Rentals"), Purchaser and Seller agree that the rentals and monies received by Purchaser subsequent to the Closing Date from such tenant(s) shall be: (i) applied first to any rentals then due and owing to Purchaser for any period after the Closing; and (ii) applied second to the payment of Past Due Rentals, and Purchaser agrees to remit forthwith to Seller such portion of the rentals so collected to which Seller is entitled, without claim or setoff, abatement or deduction (other than actual collection costs). Seller shall retain all rights to rents and damages against the tenant(s) accruing prior to the Closing Date, including, without limitation, any claims for damages due to any such tenant's default, provided that Seller shall have no right to seek termination of such tenant's Lease. At Closing, Seller shall credit Purchaser with its proportionate share of any rents received by Seller prior to Closing relating to the number of days (including the Closing Date) remaining in the month of Closing or subsequent months. Purchaser and Seller further agree that: (i) Seller is entitled hereunder to all of the Past Due Rentals for any month preceding the month of Closing and to its proportionate share of the Past Due Rentals for the month of Closing (in 9 each case net of collection costs) regardless of the period of delinquency; (ii) Purchaser will cooperate (exclusive of tenant evictions and at the cost of Seller) with Seller in the collection of those of the Past Due Rentals that are in arrears over one month; and (iii) any of the Past Due Rentals that are still outstanding ninety (90) days after the date of Closing shall, at that time and upon request of Seller, be reassigned to Seller who may commence litigation to collect same, provided that Seller shall have no right to seek termination of such tenant's Lease. Any additional rents (i.e., payments other than those on account of fixed minimum rental charges including rents based upon tenant sales performance) received by Purchaser subsequent to the Closing Date from the tenant(s) pursuant to any of the Leases, but which relate to a period of time occurring both prior to and subsequent to the Closing Date ("Prorated Additional Rents"), shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser upon receipt thereof with the Seller entitled to a portion equal to the amount so received multiplied by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the number of days in the lease year (or portion thereof) for which such items have been paid and the numerator of which shall be the number of days in the lease year (or portion thereof) for which such items have been paid that shall have elapsed from the commencement of such lease year (or relevant portion thereof) to and including the day immediately preceding the Closing Date. If such Prorated Additional Rents have been collected by Seller prior to the Closing Date, then on the Closing Date, Seller shall allow to Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to a fraction of such payments, the denominator of which shall be the number of days in the lease year for which such items have been paid and the numerator of which shall be the number of days, if any, remaining in the lease year for which such items have been paid from and after the date of Closing to the end of such 10 lease year. If such Prorated Additional Rents are collected by Purchaser on or after the Closing Date, then Purchaser shall remit Seller's portion of rents due, to Seller within thirty (30) days after receipt of such rents by Purchaser. When additional rents have been finally determined, a final adjustment shall be made in a post-closing adjustment. As used herein, the term "lease year" means the relevant annual period for such payments in each lease. For example, if a Lease provides for CAM charges to be computed on a calendar year basis and percentage rent to be computed on a fiscal year basis ending January 31, adjustments for CAM would be made on the basis of a "lease year" which is a calendar year and adjustment for percentage rent would be made on the basis of a "lease year" which is a twelve month period ending January 31. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to cart and kiosk licenses and seasonal leases as to which additional rents are not based on a lease year, the proration of additional rents shall be made in the same manner as provided above except that the period of proration shall be the applicable period as to which the additional rent is calculated. 4.6 Utilities. Final readings on all gas, water and electric meters shall be made as of the date of Closing, and Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate to cause such readings to be made. If final readings are not possible, gas, water and electricity charges will be prorated based on the most recent period for which costs are available. Seller shall obtain, directly from the utility companies, the return of any deposits made by Seller with utility companies, and Purchaser shall be responsible for making all arrangements for the continuation of utility services, including making any required deposits. 4.7 Leasing Commissions and Tenant Improvements. From and after the Effective Date, all leasing shall be done in accordance with said Section 7.2. Attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "N" is a list of Tenant's whose leasing commissions, tenant allowances, rent abatements or free rent 11 periods and costs of tenant improvements (the "Leasing Costs") that remain unpaid and outstanding as of the Effective Date. The said Leasing Costs list shall be updated by Seller at Closing to identify and provide evidence of payment by Seller for all Leasing Costs paid by Seller prior to Closing and Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing in the amount of all Leasing Costs that are the responsibility of Seller that remain unpaid at Closing, as further described in Section 7.3 hereof. 4.8 Estimates; Post-Closing Adjustments. All items (including taxes) that are not subject to an exact determination on the Closing Date shall be estimated by the parties. When any item so estimated is, after the Closing capable of exact determination, the party in possession of the facts necessary to make the determination shall send the other party a detailed report on the exact determination so made and the parties shall adjust the prior estimate by making cash payments within thirty (30) days after both parties have received and agree on the results of said reports, but in no event later than June 30, 2006. 4.9 Reconciliation of Tenant Reimbursable Charges. On or before April 15, 2006, Seller shall prepare a reconciliation of reimbursable charges by tenants for CAM, real estate taxes, insurance and other such charges under the leases (the "Tenant Reimbursable Charges") and payments therefore for calendar year 2005 (the "Reconciliation"). Purchaser agrees to cooperate with Seller in preparing such Reconciliation and shall be responsible for sending the same to tenants. Any Tenant Reimbursable Charges that are due to Seller as shown on the 2005 Reconciliation shall be treated as Past Due Rentals. Refunds or credits, if any, due any tenants with respect to Tenant Reimbursable Charges for calendar year 2005, shall be paid by Seller to Purchaser. 12 Reconciliation of the 2006 Tenant Reimbursable Charges shall be the responsibility of Purchaser. Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in Seller's preparation of such Reconciliation for 2006. Any Tenant's Reimbursable Charges that are due Seller as shown on the 2006 Reconciliation shall be paid to Seller within thirty (30) days of collection by Purchaser. Refunds or credits, if any, due any tenant's with respect to Tenant Reimbursable Charges for calendar year 2006, shall be paid by Seller to Purchaser upon disclosure of sufficient documentation from Purchaser to Seller. 4.10 Expenses. Seller shall pay its own attorney's fees, the cost of recording any instruments required hereunder to clear title, the costs of the Survey, and one half of all state, county, or local transfer taxes, and one-half of any escrow fees. Purchaser shall pay all other costs and expenses related to the transaction or this Agreement including, but not limited to, all of Purchaser's attorneys' fees and expenses, mortgage taxes, recording charges for any conveyancing documents hereunder that are to be recorded, all costs of Purchaser's due diligence investigation, the costs of any endorsements to Purchaser's title insurance policy, one-half of all state, county, or local transfer taxes, and one-half of any escrow fee. Broker's commissions shall be paid as provided in Article VIII hereof. Seller will pay for the first fifty cents per thousand of Purchase Price for a basic Owner's Policy of Title Insurance (for example, a purchase price of $58,300,000.00 divided by $1,000.00 multiplied by $.50 equals $29.150.00 paid by Seller). The Purchaser will pay for the remaining balance of the costs for a basic Owner's Policy of Title Insurance and all costs associated with any other amendments or endorsements thereto that are above fifty cents per thousand of Purchase Price.. 13 Article V. Purchaser Inspections and Contingencies --------------------------------------- 5.1 Document Inspection. Within ten (10) Business Days from the Effective Date, Seller shall make available the documents relating to the Real Property as set forth on Exhibit "H", which Exhibit "H" is attached hereto and incorporated herein, for review by Purchaser, to the extent in Seller's or its property manager's possession. Purchaser agrees that if for any reason the Closing is not consummated, Purchaser will immediately (within five (5) business days) return to Seller all materials furnished to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 5.1. 5.2 Physical Inspection. In addition to the items set forth in Section 5.1, Seller will make the Property available for inspection by Purchaser, and Purchaser shall, at Purchaser's risk, undertake such studies of the Property and physical inspections of the Property ("Purchaser's Tests and Studies") as Purchaser deems appropriate as soon as possible after the Effective Date of this Agreement and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. At Purchaser's option, Purchaser's Tests and Studies may include, without limitation, a title examination, land use investigation, financing-requirements investigation, engineering inspection and a Phase 1 environmental audit; provided, however, any Phase 2 environmental audit shall require Seller's prior written approval, which shall be made is Seller's sole determination of Seller's assessment of the risks of material damage to the Property or the environment posed by Purchaser's proposed activity on the Property, and any Phase 2 audit shall be pursuant to a special access agreement and satisfactory to Seller and Purchaser. Purchaser shall provide Seller with a written request for permission to do a Phase 2 audit, including a description of the nature of the proposed 14 investigation with reasonable specificity. Seller shall notify Purchaser, in writing within 3 Business Days following receipt of such request, whether Seller approves or disapproves of such Phase 2 environmental audit. If Seller fails to respond to the request for approval of such Phase 2 environmental audit within said 3-Business Day period, then Seller shall be deemed to have disapproved such Phase 2 environmental audit. If Seller elects not to permit such Phase 2 environmental audit, or elects to permit such Phase 2 environmental audit under conditions which Purchaser does not deem reasonable, then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and receive a return of its Deposit. Purchaser hereby agrees to pay, protect, defend, indemnify and save Seller harmless against all liabilities, obligations, claims (including mechanic's lien claims), damages, penalties, causes of action, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Seller by reason of property damage or personal injury, as well as mechanics' liens or materialmen's liens, resulting from the conduct of Purchaser's Tests and Studies by Purchaser or by Purchaser's employees, agents or independent contractors and the actions of such persons on the Real Property. In the event any part of the Property is damaged or excavated by Purchaser, its employees, agents or independent contractors, Purchaser agrees to restore the Property to its condition prior to such damage or excavation and, in the event such restoration is not done and the Transaction is not consummated, to make such additional payments to Seller as may be reasonably required to pay for the actual, out-of-pocket costs that have been, or will be, incurred by Seller to return the Property to its condition immediately prior to such damage or excavation. Seller shall provide Purchaser with reasonable evidence as to the amount of such cost. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, Purchaser's obligations under this subparagraph shall survive 15 the expiration or termination of this Agreement, and shall survive Closing, for a period of two (2) years as to property damage and for a period equal to the applicable statute of limitations as to personal injury. Before and during Purchaser's Tests and Studies, Purchaser and each representative of Purchaser, conducting any Purchaser Tests and Studies shall maintain workers' compensation insurance in accordance with applicable law, and Purchaser, or its representative conducting any Purchaser's Tests and Studies, shall maintain (1) commercial general liability insurance with limits of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) for bodily or personal injury or death, for each incident (2) property damage insurance in the amount of at least Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00), and (3) contractual liability insurance with respect to Purchaser's obligations under this Agreement. Purchaser shall deliver to Seller evidence of such workers' compensation insurance and a certificate evidencing the commercial general liability, property damage and contractual liability insurance before conducting any of Purchaser's Tests and Studies on the Property. Each such insurance policy shall be written by a reputable insurance company having a rating of at least "A+VII" by Best's Rating Guide (or a comparable rating by a successor rating service), and shall otherwise be subject to Seller's prior approval. Such insurance policies shall name as additional insureds Seller and such other parties holding insurable interests as Seller may designate. 5.3 Feasibility Period. If Purchaser determines that the development, ownership, use or financing of the Property as Purchaser intends is not feasible for any reason, then Purchaser shall have the right, to be exercised not later than 5 p.m. Central Time on December 30, 2005 (the "Feasibility Period") to elect to either proceed or not proceed with the purchase of the Property as contemplated herein. If, on or before the expiration of the Feasibility Period, 16 Purchaser has notified Seller that Purchaser is not satisfied, in its sole and absolute discretion, with all aspects of the Property, then this Agreement shall terminate, and Seller shall instruct the Title Company to return the Deposit (less one-half of any applicable escrow fee) to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any obligation to the other, except for the Surviving Covenants. If Purchaser does not provide such notice of termination on or before the last day of the Feasibility Period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have determined to proceed with the acquisition despite any risks disclosed by Purchaser's Tests and Studies, and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, Purchaser and its representatives will promptly return to Seller all written materials, including all provided due diligence materials and leases, and copies of third party inspection reports, pertaining to this Agreement, within five (5) business days of such termination. The obligations of this paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement. 5.4 Survey Contingency. Seller has obtained and shall deliver to Purchaser, at Seller's sole cost and expense, an ALTA as-built survey of the Property, certified as having been made in accordance with Accuracy Standards and Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys, as adopted in 1992, including items 1-4 and 7-13 of Table A (the "Survey"). Seller agrees to add to the Survey, at Seller's sole cost and expense, Purchaser and Purchaser's Lender as addressees of the surveyor's certification and such additional details as are required in the commercially reasonable discretion of Purchaser's lender. Purchaser's obligation to purchase the Property is subject to its approval, on or prior to the last day of the Feasibility Period, of the Survey. 17 Purchaser shall have ten (10) business days after receipt, to state in writing any objections Purchaser has to any condition of the Property shown on the Survey, including any objection to the boundaries set forth in the Survey and to the legal description (the "Notice of Survey Objections"). This contingency shall be deemed satisfied or waived if a Notice of Survey Objections is not received by Seller on or before such date. The Notice of Survey Objections shall state all of Purchaser's objections with specific reference to the Survey. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Notice of Survey Objections, Seller shall give written notice to Purchaser stating as to each objection which one of the following responses it has elected: (i) to cure such objection, in which case Seller shall be deemed to have covenanted to cure such objection, and failure to effect such cure by the Closing Date shall constitute a default under this Agreement by Seller; or (ii) to use commercially reasonable efforts to cure such objection, in which case Seller shall be deemed to have covenanted to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such cure, but provided that Seller uses such efforts, cure of the objection by the Closing Date shall be a condition of the Closing, not a covenant of Seller, and failure to effect such cure after using commercially reasonable efforts to do so shall not constitute a default by Seller; or (iii) not to cure such objection, in which case Purchaser shall have the right immediately, or at any time thereafter up to 5:00 P.M. Central Time the last day of the Feasibility Period, to terminate this Agreement, in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further rights or duties hereunder except for the Surviving Covenants. If Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement as a result of failure of Seller to cure any such objection of Purchaser where Seller has made an election under part (ii) or part (iii), above, or if Purchaser closes the Transaction despite Seller's failure to cure any such objection of Purchaser where Seller has made an election under part 18 (i), above, then in either case Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived such objection. If Seller fails to make an election as provided above, then Seller shall be deemed to have made an election under part (iii) as to each such objection for which an election was not made. 5.5 Title Contingency. Seller shall cause Stewart Title Guaranty Company, 1980 Post Oak Blvd., Suite 610, Houston, Texas 77056, Attn: Lynn Babineaux, Toll Free Phone: 800-729-1906, Direct Fax: (832) 553-7490, Email: lbabineau@stewart.com (the "Title Company"), payable in accordance with Section 4.10 hereof, to issue to Purchaser, a commitment for an Owner's Title Insurance Policy on ALTA Form B 1992 or similar form (the "Title Commitment"). Purchaser's obligation to purchase the Property is subject to its approval, on or prior to the last day of the Feasibility Period, of the Title Commitment and there being no changes to the status of Title so that the Title Company may issue an Owner's Title Insurance Policy at Closing subject only to the exceptions contained in the Title Commitment approved prior to the end of the Feasibility Period. The Title Company shall also provide Seller with a copy of the Title Commitment and legible copies of the encumbrances. Stewart Title Guaranty Company shall receive a minimum of fifty cents per thousand dollars of Purchase Price for issuance of the Owner's Title Insurance Policy. Purchaser shall have until ten (10) business days after receipt to state in writing any objections Purchaser has to Seller's title (the "Notice of Title Objections"). This contingency shall be deemed satisfied or waived if a Notice of Title Objections is not received by Seller on or before such date. The Notice of Title Objections shall state all of Purchaser's objections to Seller's title as set forth in the Title Commitment with reasonable specificity. 19 Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Notice of Title Objections, Seller shall give written notice to Purchaser stating as to each objection which one of the following responses it has elected: (i) to cure the objection, in which case Seller shall be deemed to have covenanted to cure such objection, and failure to effect such cure by the Closing Date shall constitute a default under this Agreement by Seller; or (ii) to use commercially reasonable efforts to cure such objection, in which case Seller shall be deemed to have covenanted to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such cure, but provided that Seller uses such efforts, cure of the objection by the Closing Date shall be a condition of the closing, not a covenant of Seller, and failure to effect such cure after using commercially reasonable efforts to do so shall not constitute a default by Seller; or (iii) not to cure such objection, in which case Purchaser shall have the right immediately, or at any time thereafter up to the last day of the Feasibility Period, to terminate this Agreement, in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further rights or duties hereunder except for the Surviving Covenants. If Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement as a result of failure of Seller to cure any such objection of Purchaser where Seller has made an election under part (ii) or part (iii), above, or if Purchaser closes the Transaction despite Seller's failure to cure any such objection of Purchaser where Seller has made an election under part (i), above, then in either case Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived such objection. If Seller fails to make an election as provided above, then Seller shall be deemed to have made an election under part (iii) as to each such objection for which an election was not made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, under all circumstances, Seller shall be obligated to satisfy, discharge, and release any and all mortgages, lease assignments, financing statements, and other monetary liens (other than liens for taxes that are not yet due and payable) on the Property, as identified 20 in the Title Commitment, on or prior to the Closing Date. If such monetary liens are not satisfied prior to the Closing Date, then they shall be satisfied from the proceeds of sale. Notwithstanding that property descriptions, lists of appurtenant rights, and lists of encumbrances may be attached to this Agreement as exhibits or are attached to forms of documents attached as exhibits, such descriptions and lists are not approved by Purchaser and are subject to review as part of the title contingency set forth in this Section 5.5. 5.6 Estoppels; SNDAs. Seller shall use good faith efforts (not involving the payment of money to any tenant) to obtain execution and delivery (not later than the three days prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period) of a Tenant estoppel from J.C. Penney Company, Inc. and from Hollywood Theaters substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1, attached hereto and incorporated herein, anchor estoppels from each of Dillard's, May, and Mervyn substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2, attached hereto and incorporated herein (the "Anchor Estoppels"), and tenant estoppels from at least seventy five percent (75%), as measured by floor area, of the other permanent (defined as tenants having a term of one year or longer) tenants leasing and occupying space in the Building (but not from tenants under temporary leases or licenses) (the "Estoppel Tenants") substantially in the form of Exhibit F-3, attached hereto and incorporated herein (the "Tenant Estoppels") (the Penney Estoppel, the Hollywood Theaters Estoppel, the Anchor Estoppels, and the Estoppel Tenants, collectively, the "Required Estoppels"). Seller will submit to J.C. Penney, Hollywood Theater, the Anchors and the other tenants, Estoppels in the forms attached hereto and will use such good faith efforts to obtain signed Estoppels substantially in those 21 forms. While Seller is obligated to use good faith efforts to obtain the Required Estoppels, Seller shall not be in default under this Agreement if Seller, despite using good faith efforts to obtain same, is unable to deliver the Required Estoppels. Rather, it shall be a condition of the Closing (for which Purchaser's sole remedy in the event of failure of such condition in spite of Seller's good faith efforts to obtain the Estoppels shall be to terminate the Purchase Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit) that Seller deliver the Required Estoppels provided that the parties may agree to a reasonable extension of the Closing Date for Seller to obtain and deliver the Required Estoppels. If Seller fails to deliver Tenant Estoppels from tenants representing ninety percent (90%) of the space leased to all Estoppel Tenants (as measured by floor area), then Seller shall provide a certificate to Purchaser certifying as to the statements in the Tenant Estoppel form for any tenants that fail to execute estoppels, up to said ninety percent (90%). In addition, Seller will submit to J.C. Penney, Hollywood Theater and all Estoppel Tenants subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreements ("SNDAs") in the form required by Purchaser's lender, or otherwise mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Seller, and will reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to try to obtain executed SNDAs. Delivery of SNDAs shall not be a covenant of Seller. 5.7 Service Contracts. In connection with its document review under Section 5.1 hereof, on or prior to the last day of the Feasibility Period, Purchaser may direct Seller to terminate any service and maintenance contracts that Purchaser does not want to assume. All termination fees and other costs of termination shall be paid by Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Seller shall terminate the Management and Leasing Agreement as of the Closing Date, at Seller's sole cost and expense. 22 5.8 Additional Conditions of Closing. The duty of Purchaser to close shall be contingent upon satisfaction of the following conditions on or prior to the Closing Date (but satisfaction of such conditions shall not be a covenant of Seller). 5.8.1 Consents of Third Parties. All third parties having the contractual right to do so, shall have consented to and approved the transaction contemplated by the Agreement. Seller shall pay any fees or expenses of any such third party in connection with any such consent, to the extent required to do so by the applicable Agreements. 5.8.2 Licenses. All permits and licenses necessary to allow the Property to continue to operate after the closing in the same manner as presently being operated shall have been obtained by Purchaser or its agents. 5.8.3 No Adverse Change; Representations; Covenants. There shall not be any change in the zoning of the Property following the expiration of the Feasibility Period that materially adversely affects the ability of Purchaser to use the Property for the purposes for which it is currently being used. If the Property is a non-conforming structure or is subject to a variance, there shall not have occurred any event following the expiration of the Feasibility Period that would interfere with Purchaser's continued use of such non-conforming structure or variance. If any of the representations in the Agreement is not true, Seller shall qualify such representation at the Closing, but Purchaser shall not have a right to terminate the Agreement unless the facts causing such qualification would have a material adverse effect on the Property or the Purchaser following the Closing. 23 5.8.4 Governmental Consents and Approvals. All requisite filings shall have been made with, and all requisite consents and approvals for the sale of the Property shall have been obtained from, all applicable regulatory and other governmental authorities and third parties, including, without limitation, any required approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. 5.8.5 Free and Clear. Fee simple title to the Property shall be delivered to Purchaser subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, as conclusively evidenced by the commitment of the Title Company to issue the Title Policy so insuring. 5.8.6 Management Contracts. On the closing date, there shall be no management or leasing agreements or contracts, whether written or oral, covering, applying to or encumbering the Property. Further, Purchaser shall have no obligations, financial or otherwise, to Seller's management and leasing agents for any reason. Article VI. Loss due to Casualty or Condemnation ------------------------------------ 6.1 Loss due to Condemnation. In the event of a condemnation of all or a Substantial Portion (as hereinafter defined) of the Real Property which condemnation shall or would render a Substantial Portion of the Real Property untenantable or would result in the Real Property not having sufficient parking to comply with applicable law or the specific requirements of the REA or any Lease, Purchaser may, upon written notice to Seller given within ten (10) days of receipt of notice of such event, cancel this Agreement, in which event Seller shall instruct the Escrow Holder to return the Deposit, this Agreement shall terminate and neither party shall have any rights or obligations hereunder except for the Surviving Covenants. In the event that Purchaser does not elect 24 to terminate, or if the condemnation affects less than a Substantial Portion or does not materially affect the parking area, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and Seller shall be entitled to all monies received or collected by reason of such condemnation prior to Closing. In such event, the transaction hereby contemplated shall close in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, except that there will be an abatement of the Purchase Price equal to the amount of the gross proceeds received by Seller by reason of such condemnation prior to Closing; provided, however, that if any separate award is made for costs and attorney's fees, Seller shall be entitled to retain such separate award. If the condemnation proceeding shall not have been concluded prior to the Closing, then there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price and Seller shall assign any interest it has in the pending award to Purchaser. For purposes of this Section 6.1, a Substantial Portion shall mean a condemnation of the Real Property in excess of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in value of the Real Property. 6.2 Loss due to Casualty. In the event of Substantial Loss or Damage (as hereinafter defined) to the Real Property by fire or other casualty (not resulting from acts of Purchaser), Purchaser may, upon written notice to Seller given within ten (10) days of receipt of notice of such event, cancel this Agreement in which event Seller shall instruct the Escrow Holder to return the Deposit to Purchaser and this Agreement shall terminate and neither party shall have any rights or obligations hereunder except for the Surviving Covenants. In the event that Purchaser does not elect to terminate, or if the casualty results in less than Substantial Loss or Damage, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Seller shall be entitled to all insurance proceeds received or collected by reason of such damage or loss, whereupon the transaction hereby contemplated shall close in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement except that there will be abatement of the Purchase Price equal to the amount of the gross proceeds, plus Seller's deductible, 25 provided that such abatement will be reduced by the amount expended by Seller in accordance with Article VII hereof for restoration of the Property following the casualty, and provided, further, that such abatement will be further reduced by the amount that the gross proceeds include any separate award for costs (including preservation costs) and attorney's fees. If the casualty insurance loss settlement shall not have been concluded prior to the Closing, then there shall be an abatement of the Purchase Price in the amount of Seller's deductible and Seller shall assign any interest it has in the pending insurance settlement to Purchaser. Alternatively, Purchaser may, in its discretion, have Seller repair or replace the damaged Property, and there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price in such case. However, Purchaser shall not be entitled to require Seller to effect repair or replacement unless the loss is entirely covered by insurance (except for any applicable deductible) and the repair or replacement will take no more than three (3) months to complete. For purposes of this Section 6.2, "Substantial Loss or Damage" shall mean loss or damage to the parking and/or any portion of the Building the cost for repair of which exceeds, Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) of the value of the Real Property. Article VII. Operation and Maintenance of the Property ----------------------------------------- 7.1 Maintenance, Operation and Insurance. Between the time of execution of this Agreement and the Closing, Seller shall pay its obligations and operate the Property in the ordinary course of business, shall not enter into any transactions outside the ordinary course of business, shall keep the Real Property insured for 100% of replacement cost (less any applicable deductible), shall maintain the Property in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted, shall use its best efforts to preserve and retain the future development capacity of the Property in its present condition, shall perform all 26 work required to be done under the terms of any lease or agreement relating to the Property, and shall timely make all repairs, maintenance and replacements of equipment or improvements, the same as though Seller were retaining the Property; except that Seller shall have no duty to continue any capital improvement, renovation, or re-tenanting programs and in the event of a fire or other casualty, damage or loss, Seller shall have no duty to repair said damage except as otherwise provided in Section 6.2 of this Agreement. However, Seller may repair any such damage with Purchaser's prior, written approval and may, without Purchaser's approval, repair damage where such repair is necessary in Seller's reasonable opinion to preserve and protect the health and safety of tenants of the Property or to preserve the Property from imminent risk of further damage or if required to do so by Seller's insurance carrier. Any such emergency repairs shall be reported to Purchaser within 48 hours of their completion. 7.2 Leasing. During the period from the Effective Date until the Closing Date, Seller shall not lease any portion of the Real Property or amend or terminate any existing lease without first obtaining Purchaser's written approval, which approval, if requested prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period shall not be unreasonably denied or delayed but, which approval, after expiration of the Feasibility Period shall be in Purchaser's sole discretion. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Seller may proceed to enter into new leases with the tenants and at the business terms listed on Exhibit "N" attached hereto and incorporated herein (each such lease with the listed tenants in Exhibit N hereafter a "Required New Lease"). Purchaser shall have five (5) business days from the date Seller provides Purchaser with the business terms of the new lease, or modification or termination of any existing lease, together with any information reasonably requested by Purchaser regarding such tenant, to approve or reject such lease, 27 modification or termination. If Purchaser fails to respond within said time period, it shall be deemed to have approved said lease, modification or termination, as applicable. Following Closing, Purchaser will be obligated to pay any leasing costs for any new lease approved by Purchaser provided that Seller shall be responsible for all Leasing Costs associated with any Required New Lease and Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price for any Leasing Costs for any Required New Lease that remains unpaid at Closing. Prior to Closing, Seller shall be entitled, without Purchaser's consent or approval, to enter into leases or licenses with a term of one (1) year or less ("Temporary Leases") or licenses of space that are terminable on thirty (30) days notice. Subsequent to the expiration of the Feasibility Date, without the consent of Purchaser, Seller shall not apply any security deposits held against rents owed by any tenant. 7.3 Required New Leases. In the event that Seller has not entered into a fully executed and enforceable lease with each of the Required New Lease tenants identified in Exhibit "N", at Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the Leasing Cost for each respective Required New Lease for which a fully executed and enforceable lease has not been entered into by Seller. In addition, to the extent that as of the Closing date any Required New Lease tenant signed a new lease but has not opened and commenced the payment of fixed minimum rent under its executed lease, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of fixed minimum rent that such tenant would have been obligated to pay if open between the Closing Date and the required rental commencement date under the said lease, up to a maximum of one (1) year. In the event that a particular Required New Lease is not executed by Closing, in addition to the Purchaser receiving a credit for the unpaid Leasing Costs associated with that Required New Lease, Seller shall also enter into a 28 master lease with the Purchaser for that particular space under the following terms: 1) The rent payable by Seller shall be the stated Minimum rent described in the particular Required New Lease only; 2) Seller shall not pay any additional rents, charges or cost recoveries; 3) The term of each master lease shall be for a maximum of five years from the date of the Closing; 4) Rent shall be payable monthly in advance; 5) The master lease for a particular Required New Lease shall terminate without further obligation of the Seller upon the first to occur of the following: a) Purchaser executes the Required New Lease; b) Purchaser executes a lease with the Required New Lease tenant in another space in the Property; c) Purchaser executes a lease with any tenant in all or part of the particular Required New Lease space; or d) the expiration of five years from the Closing Date. Article VIII. Broker ------ Purchaser and Seller represent to each other that they have dealt with no agent or broker who in any way has participated as a procuring cause of the sale of the Property, except Granite Partners, L.L.C. or its affiliate ("Broker"). Seller shall pay a commission to Broker at the Closing pursuant to a separate brokerage agreement between Seller and Broker. Purchaser and Seller each agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other for any and all judgments, costs of suit, attorneys' fees, and other reasonable expenses which the other may incur by reason of any action or claim against the other by any broker, agent, or finder with whom the indemnifying party has dealt arising out of this Agreement or any subsequent sale of the Property to Purchaser except for the above-described commissions, which shall be paid by Seller at the Closing. The provisions of this Article VIII shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement. 29 Article IX.
