4.2 Additional Covenants of Acquirer.

(a) Filings. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Date, each of the parties to this Agreement shall properly prepare and file any filings required under any federal, state or foreign laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby or as may be necessary to obtain the consent or approval of any Governmental Authority required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Filings”).

Neither Acquirer nor Trade Street Capital shall consent to any voluntary extension of any statutory deadline or waiting period or to any voluntary delay of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at the behest of any Governmental Authority without the consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Each of the parties to this Agreement shall promptly notify the other parties of the receipt of any comments on, or any request for amendments or supplements to, any of the Filings by any other Governmental Authority or official, and each of the parties to this Agreement shall supply the other parties with copies of all

correspondence between it and its Affiliates and Representatives (as defined below), on the one hand, and any appropriate governmental official, on the other hand, with respect to any of the Filings. Each of the parties hereto shall promptly obtain and furnish the other parties with (a) the information which may be reasonably required in order to make such Filings and (b) any additional information which may be requested by a Governmental Authority and which the parties reasonably deem appropriate.

(e) No Solicitation.

(A) During the period beginning on the Effective Date and continuing until the Closing or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.1, Acquirer agrees that neither it, the Operating Partnership nor any Subsidiary shall, and that it shall direct its and their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, participate in, initiate, knowingly facilitate or encourage (including by way of furnishing information), or knowingly take any other action designed or reasonably likely to facilitate or encourage, any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Competing Proposal (including by way of making any public announcement of its intention to do any of the foregoing), (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations (including by way of furnishing information) regarding any Competing Proposal, or (iii) enter into any agreement (or agreement in principle) with respect to a Competing Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Competing Proposal” shall mean any inquiry, proposal, offer or expression of interest by any Person other than Trade Street Capital and its Affiliates, whether in one transaction or a series of related transactions, relating to any (a) merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination or similar transaction involving Acquirer, the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary, (b) sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition, directly or indirectly, by merger, consolidation, share exchange or otherwise, of any assets of Acquirer, the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary representing 15% or more of the consolidated total assets of Acquirer, the Operating Partnership and their Subsidiaries to a single purchaser or group of related purchasers, (c) issuance, sale or other disposition (including by way of merger, consolidation, share exchange or any similar transaction), other than to Trade Street Capital or any of its Affiliates, of securities (or options, rights or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into or redeemable for, such securities, including FMP Units) representing 15% or more of the votes associated with the outstanding Common Stock of Acquirer, (d) tender offer or exchange offer in which any Person or “group” (as such term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) shall acquire “beneficial ownership” (as such term is defined in Rule 13d 3 under the Exchange Act), or the right to acquire beneficial ownership, of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities of Acquirer, (e) recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or other similar type of transaction with respect to Acquirer in which a Person other than Trade Street Capital or its Affiliates shall acquire beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities of Acquirer or (f) transaction which is similar in form, substance or purpose to any of the foregoing transactions; provided, however, that the term “Competing Proposal” shall not include the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(B) Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in Section 4.2(e)(A), at any time from the Effective Date and continuing until the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.1, if Acquirer or any of its Representatives receives an unsolicited written Competing Proposal that the Acquirer Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and independent financial advisor, (i) constitutes a Superior Proposal (as defined below) or (ii) could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, then Acquirer may take the following actions: (x) furnish non-public information to the Person making such Competing Proposal (if, and only if, prior to so furnishing such information, Acquirer receives from the Person an executed confidentiality agreement with confidentiality provisions (including customary standstill and non-solicitation provisions for

such a transaction) in form no more favorable in the aggregate to such Person than those confidentiality provisions contained in the Confidentiality Agreement with Trade Street Capital) and (y) engage in discussions or negotiations with such Person with respect to such Competing Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide written Competing Proposal (on its most recently amended and modified terms, if amended and modified, and except that, for purposes of this definition, the references in the definition of “Competing Proposal” to “15%” shall be replaced by “more than 50%”) made by a Person other than Trade Street Fund, Trade Street Capital or its Affiliates (which Competing Proposal was not solicited, initiated, encouraged or facilitated in violation of Section 4.2(e)(A) of this Agreement) that the Acquirer Board determines (after taking into account all aspects of the Competing Proposal, the party making the Competing Proposal and any amendments proposed by Trade Street Capital to this Agreement in response to receipt by Acquirer of such Competing Proposal) in its good faith judgment (after receiving the advice of its independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel and after taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the proposal, including the likelihood and timing of consummation and the financing terms thereof) is superior from a financial point of view to the transactions set forth in this Agreement and which the Acquirer Board has determined in good faith (after receiving the advice of its independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel and after taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the proposal) is reasonably capable of being consummated without undue delay (taking into account the financeability of such proposal and any material contingencies).

(C) Acquirer shall promptly (and in any event no later than 24 hours) notify Trade Street Capital if Acquirer, the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary or its or their respective Representatives receives (i) any Competing Proposal or (ii) any inquiry or request for discussions or negotiations regarding any Competing Proposal, including during the period from the Effective Date to the Closing Date (or earlier termination of this Agreement). Acquirer shall notify Trade Street Capital promptly (and in any event no later than 24 hours) of the identity of such Person and provide a copy of such Competing Proposal, inquiry or request (or, where no such copy is available, a written description of such Competing Proposal, inquiry or request), including any material modifications thereto. Acquirer shall keep Trade Street Capital reasonably informed on a current basis (and in any event no later than 48 hours) after the occurrence of any material changes or developments of the status of any Competing Proposal, inquiry or request (including the material terms and conditions thereof and of any material modification thereto). Without limiting the foregoing, Acquirer shall promptly (within 48 hours) notify Trade Street Capital orally or in writing if it determines to begin providing or making available information or to engage in discussions or negotiations concerning a Competing Proposal pursuant to Section 4.2(e)(B). Acquirer agrees that it will not enter into any confidentiality agreement with any person subsequent to the Effective Date which prohibits Acquirer from providing any such information to Trade Street Capital.

(D) Other than in accordance with this Section 4.2(e)(D), the Acquirer Board shall not (i) approve, adopt or recommend, or propose publicly to approve, adopt or recommend, any Competing Proposal; (ii) make any recommendation in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer other than a recommendation against such offer (each of the foregoing actions specified in clauses (i) and (ii), a “Change of Recommendation”); or (iii) authorize Acquirer to enter into any letter of intent, merger, acquisition, or similar agreement

with respect to any Competing Proposal other than any confidentiality agreement to be entered into by Acquirer as contemplated by this Section 4.2(e) (each a “Acquirer Acquisition Agreement”); provided, however, that, in response to the receipt of a Superior Proposal that has not been withdrawn or abandoned, the Acquirer Board may, at any time prior to Closing, make either (x) a Change of Recommendation and/or (y) terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof to enter into an Acquirer Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal (a “Superior Termination”); provided further, that, the Acquirer Board may not effect such Change of Recommendation or a Superior Termination, in each case in connection with a Superior Proposal, unless all of the following conditions have been met: (1) Acquirer shall have provided prior written notice to Trade Street Capital, at least two (2) business days in advance (the “Notice Period”), of its intention to effect a Change of Recommendation and/or Superior Termination in response to such Superior Proposal, which notice shall in addition specify the material terms and conditions (including price) of any such Superior Proposal (including the identity of the Person or group of Persons making the Superior Proposal), and contemporaneously with providing such notice shall have provided a copy of the relevant proposed Acquirer Acquisition Agreement and other material documents related thereto (provided, that, no information need be provided regarding the terms, structure or other financial information regarding any debt financing commitments) with the party making such Superior Proposal (all such additional specified information being deemed the “Superior Proposal Information”); (2) prior to effecting such Change of Recommendation and/or Superior Termination in response to a Superior Proposal, Acquirer shall, and shall cause its legal and financial advisors to, during the Notice Period, negotiate with Trade Street Capital in good faith (to the extent Trade Street Capital desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Competing Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal; and (3) the Acquirer Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with Acquirer’s outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Acquirer Board to effect a Change of Recommendation and/or Superior Termination would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under Applicable Law.

(E) If during the Notice Period any revisions are made to the Superior Proposal to which the final proviso of Section 4.2(e)(D) applies and the Acquirer Board or any committee thereof in its good faith judgment determines such revisions are material (it being agreed that any change in the purchase price in such Superior Proposal shall be deemed a material revision), Acquirer shall be required to deliver a new written notice to Trade Street Capital and to comply with the requirements of such proviso with respect to such new written notice.

(F) Except in connection with Acquirer’s entry into an Acquirer Acquisition Agreement in accordance with this Section 4.2(e), Acquirer shall not take any action to exempt any Person (other than Trade Street Capital or any of its Affiliates) from any ownership limitation contained in Acquirer’s charter or any applicable provision of the MGCL that then applies to Acquirer that would prohibit a change of control of Acquirer.

(f) Director and Officer Liability Insurance. Prior to the Closing, Acquirer shall be entitled to, and shall, purchase a “tail” insurance policy (which policy by its express terms shall survive the Closing), of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions that are no less favorable to the directors and officers of Acquirer, the Operating

Partnership and their Subsidiaries as Acquirer’s, the Operating Partnership’s and their Subsidiaries’ existing policy or policies, and from insurance carriers with comparable credit ratings, for the benefit of the current and former officers and directors of Acquirer, the Operating Partnership and their Subsidiaries with a claims period of six years from the Closing with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or prior to the Closing. Acquirer shall be liable for the payment of all premiums in respect of such “tail” insurance policy or policies.

(g) Public Announcements. Acquirer and Trade Street Capital shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that a party may, without the prior consent of the other party, issue such press release or make such public statement as may be required by law if the party issuing such press release or making such public statement has used its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other party and to obtain such party’s consent but has been unable to do so prior to the time such press release or public statement or filing is required to be released or furnished pursuant to such law or rules.

(h) Payment of Special Distribution. Acquirer hereby covenants that Acquirer shall on the day preceding the Closing Date (the “Record Date”) declare a special distribution in an amount equal to $0.05 per share of Common Stock payable to holders of record of Acquirer’s Common Stock and holders (other than Acquirer or its Affiliates) of record of FMP Units as of the Record Date (the “Special Distribution”). The Special Distribution shall be payable upon the earlier of (A) the date Acquirer sells the property commonly referred to as the “JCP Northgate” parcel, in which case the Special Distribution shall be payable in cash no later than five (5) business days following the closing of the sale of the property (but in no event more than sixty (60) days after the Record Date), or (B) sixty (60) days after the Record Date, in which case the Special Distribution shall be payable in shares of Common Stock based upon a price per share of Common Stock equal to $0.12. In no event shall the Special Distribution be payable in cash if the amount of cash held by Acquirer as of the time the Special Distribution is paid is less than the total amount of the Special Distribution.

(i) Issuance of Warrants. At the Closing, Acquirer shall issue the Warrants to its stockholders of record as of the close of business on the day immediately before the Closing Date and to holders of FMP Units as of such time, ratably based on the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and FMP Units outstanding at such time, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, which Warrants will be issued as of the Closing Date.

(j) Form 10; American Stock Exchange Listing. Acquirer shall provide all information concerning Acquirer and its business and assets as may be requested in connection with, and shall otherwise cooperate with Trade Street Capital in, the preparation and filing of a registration statement on Form 10 registering the Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and in the preparation and filing of an application to list the Acquirer Common Stock for trading in the American Stock Exchange stock market.

(k) Board of Directors. Acquirer will take such actions such that at the time of Closing, the Acquirer Board will be comprised of seven (7) persons, six (6) of whom will be designated by Trade Street Capital (three (3) of whom shall be independent under the listing standards of the American Stock Exchange market) and one director designated by FMP (who shall be independent under the listing standards of the American Stock Exchange market).

(l) Waiver of Ownership Limitation; Approval of Acquisition. Subject to the submission by Trade Street or BREF of an ownership limit waiver request in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Acquirer Board, the Acquirer Board shall, except to the extent that such action would adversely affect Acquirer’s REIT status, take such action as is reasonably necessary to waive any limitation, whether under Acquirer’s charter, bylaws or the MGCL, on Trade Street Fund’s or BREF’s ownership of shares of the Issued Shares and otherwise permit Trade Street Fund and BREF and their Affiliates to hold, vote and otherwise enjoy all incidents of ownership with respect to the Issued Shares, as applicable. Specifically, except to the extent that such action would adversely affect Acquirer’s REIT status, the Acquirer Board shall take all action necessary to exempt the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the ownership of the Issued Shares by Trade Street Fund, BREF and their Affiliates from all restrictions on ownership and future conduct imposed by Subtitles 6 and 7 of Title 3 of the MGCL and any other Applicable Law restricting the rights of Trade Street Fund, BREF and their Affiliates to hold, vote and otherwise enjoy all incidents of ownership of the Issued Shares (subject, in all events, to the registration requirements of the Securities Act).

(c) by a party hereto (so long as such party is not in breach hereof) on or after July 31, 2012, if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to such date; or

(d) by a non-breaching party in the event of a material breach of this Agreement by the other party, upon written notice of such a breach to the breaching party. and such breach is incapable of being cured prior to July 31, 2012, or, if capable of being so cured, has not been cured by the breaching party within ten days of the breaching party’s receipt of written notice thereof; or

(e) by either party in the event that (i) there shall be any Law that makes consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibited; or (ii) any governmental Authority shall it have issued an order restraining or enjoining the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such order shall it become final and nonappealable.

5.2 Fees and Expenses.

(a) Expenses. Whether or not the Closing is consummated and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 5.2(b), each party shall bear its own expenses (including out-of-pocket fees and expenses of any advisors, counsel and accountants, incurred by the party or on its behalf) in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Trade Street Capital shall be responsible for fees directly due and payable to Grant Thornton LLP (the “GT Fees”) in connection with Grant Thornton LLP’s performance of the audit of Acquirer’s 2011 financial statements, and shall either reimburse Acquirer for the GT Fees paid by Acquirer (provided that Acquirer provides evidence of the same to Trade Street Capital) or pay Grant Thornton LLP directly for the GT Fees.

(b) Termination Fee. If Acquirer seeks to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.1(b) hereof, Acquirer shall pay to Trade Street Capital, within three (3) business days following such termination, by wire transfer in immediately available United States funds a termination fee in the amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,500,000.00) (the “Termination Fee”). No termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.1(b) will be effective unless and until the Termination Fee shall have been paid pursuant to this Section 5.2(b).

5.3 Enforcement of Agreement. If either Trade Street Fund, Trade Street Capital and BREF, on the one hand, or Acquirer, on the other hand, fails to complete Closing pursuant to this Agreement for any reason, other than due to or as the result of (a) the failure of any condition precedent to such party’s obligations under this Agreement to be satisfied, or (b) the failure on the part of the other party to perform its obligations hereunder, then the non-breaching party shall have the right to elect such remedies as are available to it at law or in equity, including the right to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent any such breach (or threatened breach) of this Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking, and the parties further agree that if the remedy of specific performance is not available to the non-breaching party, other than as the result of a judicial denial of the requested relief, as indicated in an opinion from the non-breaching

party’s counsel to that effect concurred in by the breaching party’s counsel, then the non-breaching party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.1(d) hereof, and the breaching party shall pay to the non-breaching party the sum of $250,000.00 as liquidated damages within 5 business days of the date of such termination. The parties acknowledge and agree that each of Trade Street Fund, Trade Street Capital and BREF, on the one hand, and Acquirer, on the other hand, would be irreparably damaged by the other party’s failure to complete Closing as above provided, and that any such breach of this Agreement by the other party could not be adequately compensated by monetary damages alone and that the amount of damages resulting from the breach of this Agreement by a breaching party would be difficult or impossible to accurately ascertain.

5.4 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only by a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of each party to this Agreement.

5.5 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing Date, the parties hereto may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) subject to the provisions of Section 5.3, waive compliance by the other party with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of the party against which such waiver or extension is to be enforced. The failure of a party to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of those rights.

ARTICLE VI

SURVIVAL; CLAIMS

6.1 Survival Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of Acquirer and the Operating Partnership shall survive the Closing for the applicable limitations period for bringing a claim for breach of contract. The representations and warranties of Trade Street Fund and Trade Street Capital and BREF shall not survive the Closing and shall thereupon terminate. Unless specifically contemplated herein, covenants shall not survive the Closing.

TRADE STREET RESIDENTIAL, INC.

WARRANT AGREEMENT

THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of June 1, 2012, between TRADE STREET RESIDENTIAL, INC., a Maryland corporation, with offices at 19950 West Country Club Drive, Suite 800, Aventura, Florida (the “Company”), and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, with offices at 6201 15^th Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11219 (the “Warrant Agent”).

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has authorized the issuance to stockholders of record of the Company as of the date immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by that certain Contribution Agreement, dated April 23, 2012, by and between Feldman Mall Properties, Inc., Feldman Equities Operating Partnership, LP, BCOM Real Estate Fund, LLC, Trade Street Property Fund I, LP, Trade Street Capital, LLC, Post Oak Partners, LLC, Trade Street Adviser GP, Inc., Michael Baumann and Heidi Baumann, of non-transferrable warrants (the “Warrants”), to purchase, at an exercise price of $0.144 per share (subject to adjustment as described herein), 1.37 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) for each share of Common Stock held by such stockholder as of the record date;

WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing to so act, in connection with the issuance, registration, exercise and cancellation of the Warrants;

WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide for the form and provisions of the Warrants, the terms upon which they shall be issued and exercised, and the respective rights, limitation of rights, and immunities of the Company, the Warrant Agent, and the holders of the Warrants; and

WHEREAS, all acts and things have been done and performed which are necessary to make the Warrants, when executed on behalf of the Company and countersigned by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent, as provided herein, the valid, binding and legal obligations of the Company, and to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.	APPOINTMENT OF WARRANT AGENT

The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company with respect to the Warrants, and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the same in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

2.	WARRANTS

2.1 Form of Warrant. Each Warrant shall be issued in registered form only, shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Warrant Certificate”), the provisions of which are incorporated herein, and shall be signed by, or bear the facsimile signature of, the

- 7 -

Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer or Secretary of the Company. In the event the person whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any Warrant shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such person signed the Warrant before such Warrant is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance.

2.2	Effect of Countersignature. Unless and until countersigned by the Warrant Agent in accordance with this Agreement, a Warrant shall be invalid and of no effect and may not be exercised by the holder thereof.

2.3	Registration.

2.3.1

Warrant Register. The Warrant Agent shall maintain books (“Warrant Register”) for registration of original issuance of the Warrants. Upon the initial issuance of the Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall issue and register the Warrants in the names of the respective holders thereof in such denominations and otherwise in accordance with instructions delivered to the Warrant Agent by the Company.

2.3.2

Registered Holder. The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name such Warrant shall be registered upon the Warrant Register (a “Registered Holder”) as the absolute owner of such Warrant and of each Warrant represented thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on the Warrant Certificate made by anyone other than the Company or the Warrant Agent) for the purpose of any exercise thereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

3.	TERM AND EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

3.1

Warrant Price. Each Warrant shall, when countersigned by the Warrant Agent, entitle the Registered Holder thereof, subject to the provisions of this Warrant Agreement, to receive from the Company the number of shares of Common Stock stated therein, at the price of $0.144 per whole share, during the Exercise Period (as defined in Section 3.2), subject to the adjustments provided in Section 4 hereof and in the last sentence of this Section 3.1. The term “Warrant Price” as used in this Warrant Agreement refers to the price per whole share at which Common Stock may be received at the time a Warrant is exercised. The Company may lower the Warrant Price at any time during the Exercise Period; provided, however, that any change in the Warrant Price must apply equally to all of the Warrants, and provided, further, that any reduction in Warrant Price must remain in effect for at least 20 business days.

3.2

Duration of Warrants. The Warrants may be exercised only during the period (“Exercise Period”) commencing on the listing date of the Common Stock on The New York Stock Exchange, Inc., The NYSE Amex Equities or The NASDAQ Stock Market (each, an “Eligible Market”), and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York time on the second anniversary of the commencement of the Exercise Period (the date on which the exercise period terminates, the “Expiration Date”). The Exercise Period may commence as provided in Section 4.5 or may be extended in the limited circumstances specified below. Upon commencement of the Exercise Period, the Company shall promptly give written notice to

- 8 -

the Registered Holders, at the last address set forth for such Registered Holders in the Warrant Register, of such commencement. Each Warrant not exercised on or before the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease at the close of business on the Expiration Date. The Company may extend the duration of the Warrants by delaying the Expiration Date; provided, however, that any extension of the duration of the Warrants must apply equally to all of the Warrants.

3.3	Term and Exercise of Warrants.

3.3.1

Method of Exercise. A Registered Holder may exercise a Warrant by delivering, not later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on any business day during the applicable Exercise Period (the “Exercise Date”) to the Warrant Agent at its corporate trust department (i) the Warrant Certificate evidencing the Warrants to be exercised, (ii) an election to purchase (“Election to Purchase”) any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant (the “Shares”), properly completed and executed by the Registered Holder on the reverse of the Warrant Certificate, and (iii) either (A) the Warrant Price for each Warrant to be exercised and delivered pursuant to a cashless exercise by surrendering Warrants for that number of Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Shares underlying the surrendered Warrants multiplied by the difference between the Fair Market Value (defined below) and the Warrant Price by (y) the Fair Market Value, or (B) if the Common Stock is not listed on an Eligible Market and any Sale Transaction (defined herein) is consummated, the Warrant Price for each Warrant to be exercised in lawful money of the United States of America by certified or official bank check or by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds. “Fair Market Value” shall mean (i) if such Common Stock is listed on an Eligible Market, the average reported last sale price of the Common Stock on the applicable Eligible Market for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Election to Purchase by a holder of Warrants is sent to the Warrant Agent and (ii) if such Common Stock is not listed on an Eligible Market, the value of the Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

If any of (A) the Warrant Certificate, (B) the Election to Purchase, or (C) the Warrant Price, if any, therefor, is received by the Warrant Agent after 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the specified Exercise Date, the Warrants will be deemed to be received and exercised on the Business Day next succeeding the Exercise Date. If the date specified as the Exercise Date is not a Business Day, the Warrants will be deemed to be received and exercised on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day. In no event will interest accrue on funds deposited with the Warrant Agent in respect of an exercise or attempted exercise of Warrants. The validity of any exercise of Warrants will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion and such determination will be final and binding upon the Registered Holder and the Warrant Agent. Neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall have any obligation to inform a Registered Holder of the invalidity of any exercise of Warrants.

The Warrant Agent shall, by 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the Business Day following the Exercise Date of any Warrant, advise the Company and the transfer agent and registrar in respect of (i) the Shares issuable upon such exercise as to the number of Warrants exercised

- 9 -

in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (ii) the instructions of each Registered Holder with respect to delivery of the Shares issuable upon such exercise, and the delivery of definitive Warrant Certificates, as appropriate, evidencing the balance, if any, of the Warrants remaining after such exercise and (iii) such other information as the Company or such transfer agent and registrar shall reasonably require.

The Company shall, by 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the third Business Day next succeeding the Exercise Date of any Warrant, execute, issue and deliver to the Warrant Agent, the Shares to which such Registered Holder is entitled, in fully registered form, registered in the Registered Holder’s name. Upon receipt of such Shares, the Warrant Agent shall, by 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the fifth Business Day next succeeding such Exercise Date, transmit such Shares to or upon the order of the Registered Holder.

In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Shares issuable upon exercise, provided the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Fast Automated Securities Transfer program (or a similar program), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Shares issuable upon exercise to the Registered Holder by crediting the account of the Registered Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company. The time periods for delivery described in the immediately preceding paragraph shall apply to the electronic transmittals described herein.

The exercise of the Warrants may only be settled by delivery of Shares and the Registered Holders shall not be entitled to payment of cash in lieu of Shares (net cash settlement) upon exercise of the Warrants pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Warrants.

The accrual of dividends, if any, on the Shares issued upon the valid exercise of any Warrant will be governed by the terms generally applicable to the Shares. From and after the issuance of such Shares, the former holder of the Warrants exercised will be entitled to the benefits generally available to other holders of Shares and such former holder’s right to receive payments of dividends and any other amounts payable in respect of the Shares shall be governed by, and shall be subject to, the terms and provisions generally applicable to such Shares.

Warrants may be exercised only in whole numbers of Shares. No fractional Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of the Warrant. If fewer than all of the Warrants evidenced by a Warrant Certificate are exercised, a new Warrant Certificate for the number of unexercised Warrants remaining shall be executed by the Company and countersigned by the Warrant Agent as provided in Section 2 of this Agreement, and delivered to the holder of the Warrant Certificate at the address specified on the books of the Warrant Agent or as otherwise specified by such Registered Holder.

The Company shall not be required to pay any stamp or other tax or governmental charge required to be paid in connection with any transfer involved in the issue of the Shares upon the exercise of Warrants; and in the event that any such transfer is involved, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares until such tax or other charge shall have been paid or it has been established to the Company’s satisfaction that no such tax or other charge is due.

- 10 -

3.3.2

Limitations. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, the Warrants may not be exercised by any Registered Holder to the extent that upon such exercise such Registered Holder would (i) Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of the Company’s Common Stock in excess of 9.0% unless such Registered Holder is an investment entity in which case it is 9.8% (in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock unless such Registered Holder is an Excepted Holder (in which case the Excepted Holder Limit shall be applicable) or (ii) Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock of the Company in excess of 9.0% unless such Registered Holder is an investment entity in which case it is 9.8% (in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the total outstanding shares of Capital Stock of the Company, unless such Person is an Excepted Holder (in which case the Excepted Holder Limit shall be applicable).

3.4	Valid Issuance. All shares of Common Stock issued upon the proper exercise of a Warrant in conformity with this Agreement shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

3.5

Date of Issuance. Each person in whose name any such certificate for shares of Common Stock is issued shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.

4.	ADJUSTMENTS

4.1

Stock Dividends – Split-Ups. If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.7 below, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a split-up of shares of Common Stock, or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares of Common Stock.

4.2

Extraordinary Dividends and Distributions. If the Company, at any time while the Warrants are outstanding, shall pay a dividend or make a distribution (including, without limitation, any distribution of other or additional stock or other securities or property or options by way of dividend or spin-off, reclassification, recapitalization or similar corporate rearrangement) in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of Common Stock (or other shares of the Company’s capital stock into which the Warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described in Sections 4.1, 4.3 or 4.5, or (b) a regularly scheduled cash distribution payable out of funds from operations of the Company (which shall be computed by the Company in accordance with the April 2002 “White Paper” on funds from operation published by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which defines funds from operations as net income attributable to common stockholders (determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains or losses from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures) (any such non-excluded

- 11 -

event being referred to herein as an “Extraordinary Dividend”), then the Warrant Price shall be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such Extraordinary Dividend, by the Fair Market Value applicable to one share of Common Stock of such Extraordinary Dividend; provided that, in the event that the amount of such adjustment reduces the Warrant Price to below zero, then in lieu of any adjustment to the Warrant Price, adequate provision shall be made so that the Registered Holder shall receive, at the time such Extraordinary Dividend is paid to the holders of the Common Stock, a pro rata share of such Extraordinary Dividend based upon the maximum number of shares of Common Stock at the time issuable to the Registered Holder (determined without regard to whether the Warrant is exercisable at such time.).

4.3

Aggregation of Shares. If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.7, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock.

4.4

Adjustments in Warrant Price. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of the Warrants is adjusted, as provided in Section 4.1 and 4.3 above, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so receivable immediately thereafter.

4.5

Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change covered by Section 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 hereof or that solely affects the par value of such shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any transaction (each, a “Sale Transaction”) involving the sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity (a “Purchaser”) of the assets or other property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the Registered Holders shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Warrants and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the Registered Holder would have received if such Registered Holder had exercised his, her or its Warrant(s) immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results in a change in shares of Common Stock covered by Section 4.1 or 4.3, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to Sections 4.1, 4.3, 4.4 and this Section 4.5. In the case of any Sale Transaction, the Exercise Period for the Warrants (if not then commenced) shall commence

- 12 -

and provision shall be made in connection with any such Sale Transaction to allow the Registered Holders of the Warrants to be able to exercise their Warrants following such Sale Transaction and to receive the consideration specified herein. The provisions of this Section 4.5 shall similarly apply to any successive transactions covered by this Section 4.5; provided however, that the provisions of this Section 4.5 shall not apply in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement.

4.6

Notices of Changes in Warrant. Upon every adjustment of the Warrant Price or the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Warrant Agent, which notice shall state the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares receivable at such price upon the exercise of a Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 or 4.5, then, in any such event, the Company shall give written notice to the Registered Holder, at the last address set forth for such Registered Holders in the Warrant Registers, of the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.

4.7

Form of Warrant Certificate. The form of Warrant Certificate need not be changed because of any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4, and Warrants issued after such adjustment may state the same Warrant Price and the same number of shares as is stated in the Warrants initially issued pursuant to this Agreement. However, the Company may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in the form of Warrant Certificate that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof, and any Warrant thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.

5.	TRANSFER, EXCHANGE AND ASSIGNABILITY OF WARRANTS

5.1

Warrants Non-Transferable. The Warrants and all rights thereunder are not transferable, exchangeable or assignable without the written consent of the Company, except that (A) upon the death or disability of a Registered Holder who is a natural person or upon the bankruptcy, dissolution or other cessation of existence of a Registered Holder which is a trust, corporation, partnership or other entity, the Warrants held by such holder may, without the consent of the Company, be transferred or assigned to the personal representative (including to the estate) or authorized representative of such holder and (B) the Warrants may otherwise be transferred, exchanged or assigned without the consent of the Company in circumstances required by applicable law. Any transfer, exchange or assignment of a Warrant or any rights thereunder without the written consent of the Company (where such consent is required) shall be void ab initio. In the case of any transfers that do not require consent, the Registered Holder shall give written notice to the Company of the circumstances giving rise to such transfer and an acknowledgement by the transferee of the Warrant to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

- 13 -

6.	OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF WARRANTS

6.1

No Rights as Stockholder. A Warrant does not entitle the Registered Holder thereof to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends, or other distributions, exercise any preemptive rights to vote or to consent or to receive notice as stockholders in respect of the meetings of stockholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other matter.

6.2

Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Warrants. If any Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, the Company and the Warrant Agent may on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as they may in their discretion impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination, tenor, and date as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

6.3	Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock that will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement.

6.4	Listing of Common Stock. The Company shall as promptly as practicable after the date hereof use its best efforts to list the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants on an Eligible Market and to thereafter maintain such listing during the Exercise Period.

6.5

Registration. In the event the Common Stock is not listed on an Eligible Market and any Sale Transaction is consummated, then the Company shall, as a condition precedent to any Sale Transaction, require the Purchaser to agree and covenant to (1) as promptly as practicable after the date of such Sale Transaction, use its best efforts to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement, for the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of any shares of stock receivable by the Registered Holders that are not listed on an Eligible Market upon exercise of the Warrants after consummation of such Sale Transaction, and to take such action as is necessary, if any, to qualify for sale, in those states in which the Warrants were initially offered by the Company, such shares of stock; and (2) use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective as promptly as practicable after the date of filing and shall use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and ensure that a current prospectus is on file with the Commission until the Expiration Date.

Voting and Lock-Up Agreement

March , 2012

Trade Street Property Fund I, LP

Trade Street Capital, LLC

19950 West Country Club Drive

Suite 800

Aventura, Florida 33180

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This Voting and Lock-Up Agreement (the “Agreement”) is being delivered to you in connection with a proposed transaction (the “Transaction”) to be executed among Feldman Mall Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), Feldman Equities Operating Partnership, LP (the “Operating Partnership”), Trade Street Capital, LLC (“TSC”) and Trade Street Property Fund I, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Fund”) pursuant to which in exchange for the contribution of certain assets by the Fund and TSC, the Fund would receive shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company and TSC would receive units of limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership, all as set forth in that certain Contribution Agreement of even date herewith among the Company, the Operating Partnership, TSC and the Fund in connection with the Transaction (the “Contribution Agreement”).

In consideration of TSC and the Fund executing the Contribution Agreement, the undersigned agrees to vote all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 thereunder) by the undersigned FOR the Transaction and all other matters and transactions presented to the stockholders of the Company for a vote with respect to or in connection with the Transaction. In addition, the undersigned agrees that for a period of six (6) months (the “Lock-Up Period”) from and after the consummation of the Transaction, the undersigned will not, directly or indirectly, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, or sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or lend or otherwise dispose of or transfer any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or repayable with any shares of Common Stock, including, without limitation, units of partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”), whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition, enter into a transaction that would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers to another person other than the undersigned or otherwise disposes of, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Common Stock, including, without limitation, OP Units, whether any of these transactions are to be settled by delivery of Common Stock, OP Units or other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, pledge, sale, purchase, grant, disposition or transfer, or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, without, in each case, the prior written consent of the Fund or TSC. In addition, during the Lock-Up Period the undersigned will not make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, including, without limitation, OP Units, without the prior written consent of the Fund or TSC. For the avoidance of doubt, it is expressly

- 21 -

agreed that nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to prohibit the undersigned from purchasing any shares of Common Stock at any time during the term of this Agreement or exercising any warrant granted to the undersigned in connection with the Transaction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer any shares of Common Stock, including, without limitation, OP Units, owned by him or her or any interest therein, without the prior written consent of the Fund or TSC (i) for estate-planning purposes to (x) a trust under which the distribution of the shares of Common Stock or OP Units transferred thereto may be made only to beneficiaries who are the undersigned, his or her spouse, his or her parents, members of his or her immediate family or his or her lineal descendants (collectively, “Permitted Family Members”), (y) a corporation the stockholders of which are only the undersigned or Permitted Family Members or (z) a partnership the partners of which are only the undersigned or Permitted Family Members or (ii) in case of the death of the undersigned, by will or by the laws of intestate succession, to his or her executors, administrators, testamentary trustees, legatees or beneficiaries (each such person to which a transfer is permitted pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) immediately above is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Transferee”); provided, however, that in each such case, the shares of Common Stock and OP Units transferred shall be subject to all provisions of this agreement as though the undersigned were still the holder of such shares of Common Stock or OP Units, the Permitted Transferee must execute and deliver to TSC an agreement stating that the Permitted Transferee is receiving and holding such shares of Common Stock or OP Units in the same manner as the person making the transfer; any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value; such transfers are not required to be reported in any public report or filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or otherwise, during the Lock-Up Period and the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding such transfers.

For purposes of this letter agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin.

Each Holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 5(a)) the Company, each member of the Board, each officer, employee, agent and investment adviser of the Company and each other Person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, with respect to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder regarding such Holder giving such indemnification specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such Board member, officer, employee, agent, investment adviser or controlling Person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by any Holder. The obligation of a Holder to indemnify will be several and not joint, among the Holders of Registrable Securities and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities will be in proportion to and limited in all events to the net amount received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.

c. Notices of Claims, etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 5, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action; provided, however, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 5, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, for itself, if applicable, together with any other indemnified party similarly notified, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof.

- 47 -

d. Indemnification Payments. To the extent that the indemnifying party does not assume the defense of an action brought against the indemnified party as provided in Section 5(c), the indemnified party (or parties if there is more than one) shall be entitled to the reasonable legal expenses of common counsel for the indemnified party (or parties). In such event, however, the indemnifying party will not be liable for any settlement effected without the written consent of such indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The indemnification required by this Section 5 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of an investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred. The indemnifying party shall not settle any claim without the consent of the indemnified party unless such settlement involves a complete release of such indemnified party without any admission of liability by the indemnified party.

e. Contribution. If, for any reason, the foregoing indemnity is unavailable, or is insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of the expense, loss, damage or liability, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other (determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission) or (ii) if the allocation provided by subclause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law or provides a lesser sum to the indemnified party than the amount hereinafter calculated, in the proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, but also the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No indemnified party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any indemnifying party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation, and the liability for contribution of each Holder of Registrable Securities will be in proportion to and limited in all events to the net amount received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.

Section 6. Market Stand-Off Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that it shall not, to the extent requested by the Company or an underwriter of securities of the Company, directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell (including without limitation any short sale), grant any option or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Registrable Securities (other than to donees or partners of the Holder who agree to be similarly bound) within seven days prior to and for up to 90 days following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act or the date of an underwriting agreement with respect to an underwritten public offering of the Company’s securities (the “Stand-Off Period”); provided, however, that:

a. with respect to the Stand-Off Period, such agreement shall not be applicable to the Registrable Securities to be sold on the Holder’s behalf to the public in an underwritten offering pursuant to such registration statement;

b. all executive officers and directors of the Company then holding Common Shares of the Company shall enter into similar agreements;

- 48 -

c. the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain similar agreements from each 5% or greater shareholder of the Company; and

d. the Holders shall be allowed any concession or proportionate release allowed to any (i) officer, (ii) director or (iii) other 5% or greater shareholder of the Company that entered into similar agreements.

In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company shall have the right to place restrictive legends on the certificates representing the Registrable Securities subject to this Section 6 and to impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities and such other Common Shares of each Holder (and the Common Shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.

Section 7. Covenants Relating To Rule 144. With a view to making available to the Holders of Registrable Securities the benefits of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3 (or any successor form), the Company shall use its best efforts to file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and that it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

Section 8. Miscellaneous.

a. Termination; Survival. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect when there shall no longer be any Registrable Securities outstanding; provided, that the obligations of the parties under Section 5 and paragraphs (d), (e) and (g) of this Section 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

b. Expenses. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any Shelf Registration under Section 2 shall be borne by the Company, whether or not any registration statement related thereto becomes effective.
