MODIFICATION NO. TWO TO

LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT OF

CBL/BROOKFIELD I, LLC

This Modification No. Two to Limited Liability Company Agreement of CBL/Brookfield I, LLC (the “Amendment”) is made and entered into to be effective as of this 25th day of October, 2021, by CBL & Associates HoldCo II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (herein referred to as the “Member”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, CBL/Brookfield I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”) is governed by that certain Limited Liability Company Agreement dated as of December 5, 2000, (the “Original Agreement”) and as amended by that certain Amendment to Limited Liability Company Agreement dated June 25, 2009 (the “First Amendment”), as the same may have been amended, supplemented, or assigned (collectively, the “Agreement);

WHEREAS, immediately prior to the execution of this Amendment, CBL & Associates Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (“CBL”) caused CBL/J I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Original Member”) to assign 100% of Original Member’s beneficial and ownership interests in the Company to Member which constitutes the sole outstanding membership in the Company pursuant to a separate Assignment and Assumption of Contributed Interests of even date herewith (the “Assignment”);

WHEREAS, Member desires to amend and modify the Agreement (i) to reflect the Assignment, including recording the Member as the Member of the Company on the books and records of the Company, and (ii) to make certain amendments and modifications to the Agreement as set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Member does hereby modify and amend the Agreement as follows:

 

  1.

The Original Agreement contains certain provisions that were required by a previous lender as a requirement that the Company, as a general partner of that certain partnership known as “Brookfield Square Joint Venture”, be bound by certain covenants with respect to the independence and separateness of the indebtedness and operations of the Company from any affiliated entity of the Company (collectively, the “SPE Provisions”). The Company is no longer required to have a limited liability company agreement that contains SPE Provisions; therefore, all of the changes made to the Original Agreement by the First Amendment are hereby unmade and of no further force or effect in the Agreement.

To clarify:


  a)

the changes made in the First Amendment in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 are hereby reversed so that the language from the Original Agreement is deemed reinserted into the Agreement, and those paragraphs are deemed deleted from the First Amendment.

 

  b)

Paragraphs 5 and 6 of the First Amendment is hereby deleted in its entirety and, thus, deemed deleted from the Original Agreement.

 

  c)

Exhibit “C” of the Original Agreement and the First Amendment are hereby deleted in their entireties and replaced with Exhibit “C” attached hereto.

 

  2.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Agreement, the definition of “Member” shall be the Member shown on Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein.

 

  3.

Exhibit “B” to the Agreement is hereby modified and amended by substituting Exhibit “B” attached hereto.

Except as herein modified, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Agreement.

This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amendment is executed effective as of the date first set forth above.
