The Schedules to this Guaranty contain text integral to this Guaranty and are incorporated herein by express reference as if fully set forth herein. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Guaranty shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement. RECITALS A. Borrower, Administrative Agent and the other Lenders entered into the Credit Agreement, whereby Lenders agreed to make unsecured revolving and term loans to Borrower in an aggregate principal amount of up to $700,000,000, subject to increase up to a principal amount not to exceed $1,000,000,000 pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Credit Agreement (collectively, the "Loans"). B. In connection with the Loans, Borrower executed and delivered one or more notes in favor of the Lenders, each dated as of the date hereof (together with any promissory notes executed after the date hereof, to evidence Loans, the "Notes"). C. Each Guarantor will derive material benefit from the Loans evidenced by the Notes and the other Loan Documents. D. Each Guarantor is guaranteeing the obligations of each Borrower under the Credit Agreement. As a result, GGP, Inc. shall be liable as a guarantor on the obligations of both the Company and the Partnership under the Credit Agreement and the Partnership shall be liable as a guarantor for the obligations of GGP LLC, as well as for its own obligations as a Borrower under the Credit Agreement. E. Lenders have relied on the statements and agreements contained herein in agreeing to make the Loans. The execution and delivery of this Guaranty by Guarantors is a condition precedent to the making of the Loans by the Lenders. AGREEMENTS NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, each Guarantor, in consideration of the matters described in the foregoing Recitals, which Recitals are incorporated herein and made a part hereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, hereby covenants and agrees for the benefit of Lenders and their successors and permitted indorsees, transferees, participants and assigns of interests in the Loans as follows: 1. Each Guarantor, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally guarantees, on a joint and several basis, the full and punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity or otherwise, of all obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under the Notes, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party, as the same may be amended, supplemented, modified or restated from time to time, and, subject to the terms of Section 19(e) of this Guaranty, any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by the Administrative Agent in enforcing its rights under this Guaranty. All sums owing pursuant to this Section 1 are collectively referred to as the "Guaranteed Obligations". Each Guarantor hereby consents to any increase in the Loans pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Credit Agreement. Any sums disbursed to Borrower pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Credit Agreement shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations. 2. It is agreed that the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are primary and this Guaranty shall be enforceable against each Guarantor and its successors and assigns without the necessity for any suit or proceeding of any kind or nature whatsoever brought by the Administrative Agent against Borrower or its respective successors or assigns or any other party (including the other Guarantor hereunder) or against any security for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, without the necessity of any notice of nonpayment or nonobservance or of any notice of acceptance of this Guaranty or of any notice or demand to which a Guarantor might otherwise be entitled (including, without limitation, diligence, presentment, notice of maturity, extension of time, change in nature or form of the Guaranteed Obligations, acceptance of further security, release of further security, imposition or agreement arrived at as to the amount of or the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations, notice of adverse change in Borrower's financial condition and any other fact which might materially increase the risk to a Guarantor), all of which each Guarantor, to the extent permitted by applicable law, hereby expressly waives; and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby expressly agrees that the validity of this Guaranty and the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected, diminished, modified or impaired by reason of the assertion of, or the failure to assert by the Administrative Agent against Borrower or its respective successors or assigns, any of the rights or remedies reserved to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Documents. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any notice or directive given at any time to the Administrative Agent which is inconsistent with the waiver in the immediately preceding sentence shall be void and may be ignored by the Administrative Agent, and, in addition, may not be pleaded or introduced as evidence in any litigation relating to this Guaranty for the reason that such pleading or introduction would be at variance with the written terms of this Guaranty, unless the Administrative Agent has specifically agreed otherwise in writing, signed by a duly authorized officer. Each Guarantor specifically acknowledges and 2 agrees that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of this transaction and that, but for this Guaranty and such waivers, the Lenders would not make the requested Loans to Borrower. 3. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives, and covenants and agrees that it will not at any time insist upon, plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any and all appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshalling of assets or redemption laws, or right of homestead exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, which may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance by a Guarantor of its obligations under, or the enforcement by the Administrative Agent of, this Guaranty. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor further covenants and agrees not to set up or claim any defense, counterclaim, offset, setoff or other objection of any kind to any action, suit or proceeding in law, equity or otherwise, or to any demand or claim that may be instituted or made by the Administrative Agent other than the defense of the actual timely payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder. Each Guarantor represents, warrants and agrees that, as of the date hereof, its obligations under this Guaranty are not subject to any counterclaims, offsets or defenses against the Administrative Agent of any kind. 4. The provisions of this Guaranty are for the benefit of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders and their successors and permitted assigns of interests in the Loans, and nothing herein contained shall impair as between Borrower and the Administrative Agent the obligations of Borrower under any or all of the Loan Documents. 5. This Guaranty shall be a continuing, unconditional and absolute, joint and several guaranty and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected, modified, impaired or diminished (except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations are paid or otherwise satisfied) by reason of the happening, from time to time, of any of the following, although without notice or the further consent of either Guarantor: (a) any assignment, amendment, modification or waiver of or change in any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Loan Documents or the invalidity or unenforceability of any of the foregoing; or (b) any extension of time that may be granted by the Administrative Agent (or any Lender) to Borrower, any guarantor, or their respective successors or assigns; or (c) any action which the Administrative Agent (or any Lender) may take or fail to take under or in respect of any of the Loan Documents or by reason of any waiver of, or failure to enforce any of the rights, remedies, powers or privileges available to the Administrative Agent (or any Lender) under this Guaranty or available to the Administrative Agent (or any Lender) at law, in equity or otherwise, or any action on the part of the Administrative Agent (or any Lender) granting indulgence or extension in any form whatsoever; or (d) any sale, exchange, release, or other disposition of any property pledged, mortgaged or conveyed, or any property in which the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders have been granted a lien or security interest to secure any indebtedness of Borrower to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders; or 3 (e) any release of any person or entity who may be liable in any manner for the payment and collection of any amounts owed by Borrower to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders (including the other Guarantor; provided that the release of one Guarantor shall terminate the joint and several nature of this Guaranty and shall terminate the liability hereunder of the released Guarantor (only)); or (f) the application of any sums by whomsoever paid or however realized to any amounts owing by Borrower to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders under any or all of the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents; or (g) Borrower's or a Guarantor's voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale of all or substantially all of their respective assets and liabilities, appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, sequestrator or conservator for all or any part of Borrower's or a Guarantor's assets, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment, or the commencement of other similar proceedings affecting Borrower or a Guarantor or any of the assets of either of them, including, without limitation, (i) the release or discharge of Borrower or a Guarantor from the payment and performance of their respective obligations under any of the Loan Documents by operation of law, or (ii) the impairment, limitation or modification of the liability of Borrower or a Guarantor in bankruptcy, or of any remedy for the enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations under any of the Loan Documents, or a Guarantor's liability under this Guaranty, resulting from the operation of any present or future provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or other present or future federal, state or applicable statute or law or from the decision in any court; or (h) any improper disposition by Borrower of the proceeds of the Loans, it being acknowledged by each Guarantor that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to honor any request made by Borrower for a disbursement of such proceeds and that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to see the proper disposition by Borrower of such proceeds. 6. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that, if at any time all or any part of any payment at any time received by the Administrative Agent (or any Lender) from Borrower under any of the Notes or other Loan Documents or from a Guarantor under or with respect to this Guaranty is or must be rescinded or returned by the Administrative Agent (or any Lender) for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or a Guarantor), then each Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall, to the extent of the payment rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such previous receipt by the Administrative Agent (or any Lender), and each Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or reinstated, as the case may be, as to such payment, as though such previous payment to the Administrative Agent (or any Lender) had never been made. 7. Until this Guaranty is terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, each Guarantor (i) shall have no right of subrogation against Borrower or any entity comprising same by reason of any payments or acts of performance by a Guarantor in compliance with the obligations of a Guarantor hereunder; (ii) hereby waives any right to enforce any remedy which each Guarantor now or hereafter shall have against Borrower or any entity comprising same by reason of any one or more payments or acts of performance in compliance with the obligations of a Guarantor 4 hereunder; and (iii) shall subordinate any liability or indebtedness of Borrower or any entity comprising same now or hereafter held by each Guarantor to the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents; PROVIDED that nothing contained herein shall limit the right of a Guarantor to receive any amount from Borrower or any entity comprising the same or the other Guarantor that is not prohibited by the terms of the Loan Documents. 8. Each Guarantor hereby represents, warrants and covenants, on its own behalf to the Administrative Agent with the knowledge that the Administrative Agent is relying upon the same, as follows: (a) as of the date hereof, GGP, Inc. owns approximately 75% of the common partnership interests in the Partnership as a General Partner in the Partnership; (b) each Guarantor is familiar with the financial condition of Borrower; (c) based upon such relationship, such Guarantor has determined that it is in its best interest to enter into this Guaranty; (d) this Guaranty is necessary and convenient to the conduct, promotion and attainment of such Guarantor's business, and is in furtherance of such Guarantor's business purposes; (e) the benefits to be derived by such Guarantor from Borrower's access to funds made possible by the Loan Documents are at least equal to the obligations of such Guarantor undertaken pursuant to this Guaranty; (f) such Guarantor hereby makes the representations and warranties applicable to it set forth in Schedule 8(e) attached hereto, which representations and warranties shall be deemed remade to the same extent Borrower is required to remake representations and warranties under the Credit Agreement (other than representations and warranties which expressly speak as of a different date, which shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date, and other than representations and warranties with respect to which Guarantors or Borrower have disclosed to the Administrative Agent in writing that the facts are not as represented therein and the Administrative Agent has approved or consented to, conditionally or otherwise, the facts so disclosed); (g) each Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees that so long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, that it will comply with the covenants applicable to it as set forth in the Credit Agreement and in Schedule 8(f) hereto; and (h) each Guarantor hereby agrees that the occurrence of any of the events or circumstances described in Schedule 8(g) hereto (subject to the notice and cure periods specified therein) shall be an "event of default" hereunder. 9. Each Guarantor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lenders all of the Financial Statements of such Guarantor to be delivered in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. 5 10. Each Guarantor and the Administrative Agent acknowledge and agree that this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and enforcement in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations which may accrue to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders from Borrower under the provisions of any Loan Document. 11. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, and only in conjunction with a transfer permitted thereunder, the Administrative Agent may assign any or all of its rights under this Guaranty. 12. Each Guarantor agrees, upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent from time to time, any modification or amendment hereto or any additional instruments or documents reasonably considered necessary by the Administrative Agent or its counsel to cause this Guaranty to be, become or remain valid and effective in accordance with its terms or in order to implement more fully the intent of this Guaranty; PROVIDED that any such modification, amendment, additional instrument or document shall not increase a Guarantor's obligations or diminish its rights hereunder and shall be reasonably satisfactory as to form to each Guarantor and its counsel. 13. The representations and warranties of each Guarantor set forth in this Guaranty shall survive until this Guaranty shall terminate in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Guarantor hereby agrees on a joint and several basis to indemnify and hold Lenders free and harmless from and against all loss, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs), liability and damage which Lenders sustain by reason of the material inaccuracy or breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties; PROVIDED, however, that a Guarantor shall have no obligation to indemnify and hold Lenders free and harmless from and against the same to the extent caused by or resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Lenders. 14. This Guaranty together with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents contains the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the Loans being made to Borrower simultaneously with the execution and delivery hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements relating to such Loans and may not be modified, amended, supplemented or discharged (other than by payment or other satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed Obligations) except by a written agreement signed by the Guarantors and the Administrative Agent. 15. If all or any portion of any provision contained in this Guaranty shall be determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, such provision or portion thereof shall be deemed stricken and severed from this Guaranty and the remaining provisions and portions thereof shall continue in full force and effect. 16.

To be enforceable against the Administrative Agent, any waiver of any such right or remedy must be expressly set forth in a writing signed by the Administrative Agent. 19. (a) IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION AND PERFORMANCE OF THIS GUARANTY AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER, THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION 735 ILCS 105/5-5 AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

IT IS HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGED BY EACH GUARANTOR THAT THE WAIVER OF A JURY TRIAL IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO ACCEPT THIS GUARANTY AND THAT THE LOANS MADE BY THE LENDERS ARE MADE IN RELIANCE UPON SUCH WAIVER. EACH GUARANTOR AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT SUCH WAIVER HAS BEEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE, FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS GUARANTY MAY BE FILED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR A GUARANTOR IN COURT AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A NON-JURY TRIAL. (d) Each Guarantor does hereby further covenant and agree to and with the Administrative Agent that a Guarantor may be joined in any action against Borrower in connection with the Loan Documents and that recovery may be had against a Guarantor in such action or in any independent action against a Guarantor (with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations), without the Administrative Agent first pursuing or exhausting any remedy or claim against Borrower or its successors or assigns or making claim on the other Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor also agrees that, in an action brought with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations in any competent jurisdiction, it shall be conclusively bound by the judgment in any such action by the Administrative Agent (wherever brought) against Borrower or its successors or assigns, as if such Guarantor were a party to such action, even though such Guarantor was not joined as a party in such action.

All of the Administrative Agent's rights and remedies under each of the Loan Documents or under this Guaranty are intended to be distinct, separate and cumulative and no such right or remedy therein or herein mentioned is intended to be in exclusion of or a waiver of any other right or remedy available to the Administrative Agent. 22.
