Explanatory Note

On November 9, 2010, The Howard Hughes Corporation (the “Company”) was spun off from General Growth Properties, Inc. (“GGP”) in connection with a plan of reorganization filed by GGP and certain of its subsidiaries under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Separation”).  In connection with the Separation, GGP transferred to the Company the assets and liabilities comprising the Company’s master planned communities and real estate development businesses.  On November 9, 2010, approximately 32.5 million shares of common stock of the Company were distributed to the common and preferred unit holders of GGP Limited Partnership, including GGP, and GGP distributed its portion of such shares to holders of GGP common stock (the “Distribution” and, together with the Separation, the “Spin-Off”).  GGP did not retain any ownership interest in the Company.

In connection with its plan of reorganization, GGP entered into investment agreements (the “Investment Agreements”) with each of (a) an affiliate of Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (and its designees, as applicable, “Brookfield”), (b) The Fairholme Fund and Fairholme Focused Income Fund (collectively, “Fairholme”) and (c) Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P., on behalf of Pershing Square L.P., Pershing Square II, L.P., Pershing Square International, Ltd. and Pershing Square International V, Ltd. (collectively, “Pershing Square” and, together with Brookfield and Fairholme, the “Investors”).  Under the Investment Agreements, the Investors purchased $250 million of the Company’s common stock at the effective time of the Spin-Off.

In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) an amended registration statement on Form 10 on November 4, 2010, which was declared effective on November 5, 2010 (the “Form 10”).

Item 1.01                                           Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company entered into the agreements described below.

Separation Agreement

On November 9, 2010, the Company entered into a separation agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) with GGP, which contains the key provisions of the separation of the Company from GGP and certain terms governing the Company’s relationship with GGP after the Spin-Off.  The Separation Agreement identifies the assets transferred, liabilities assumed and contracts to be performed by each of the Company and GGP as part of the Separation, and provides for when and how these transfers, assumptions and assignments occur.  The assets were transferred on an “as is,” “where is” basis, and the respective transferees bear the economic and legal risks associated with the use of such respective assets both prior to and following the Spin-Off, including where any conveyance proves to be insufficient to vest in the transferee good title, free and clear of any security interest.  For a more detailed summary of the Separation Agreement, see the description beginning on page 36 of the Form 10 under “Item 1. Business.”  A copy of the Separation Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference to this Item 1.01.

Transition Services Agreement

On November 9, 2010, the Company entered into a transition services agreement (the “Transition Services Agreement”) with GGP Limited Partnership and General Growth Management, Inc., each of which is a subsidiary of GGP (collectively, “GGP Management”), pursuant to which GGP Management or its subsidiaries will provide to the Company specified services on an interim basis for various terms not exceeding 24 months after the Spin-Off.  The services include payroll, human resources and employee benefits, financial systems management, treasury and cash management, accounts payable services, telecommunications services, information technology services, property management services, legal and

2

accounting services and various other corporate services.  The Company may terminate certain services by giving GGP Management prior written notice.

Charges for transition services are generally based on an hourly fee arrangement and pass-through out-of-pocket costs.  Subject to certain exceptions, GGP Management’s liability for services provided under the Transition Services Agreement is limited to the greater of (a) the aggregate charges actually paid to GGP Management by the Company pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, and (b) $10,000,000.  For a more detailed summary of the Transition Services Agreement, see the description beginning on page 40 of the Form 10 under “Item 1. Business.”  A copy of the Transition Services Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference to this Item 1.01.

Reverse Transition Services Agreement

On November 9, 2010, the Company entered into a reverse transition services agreement (the “Reverse Services Agreement”) with GGP Management, pursuant to which the Company will provide to GGP Management specified services on an interim basis for various terms not exceeding 24 months after the Spin-Off.  The services include income tax services and accounting and audit support services related to master planned communities and certain mall properties.  Charges under the Reverse Services Agreement are structured in the same manner as provided under the Transition Services Agreement.  Subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s liability for providing services under the Reverse Services Agreement is limited to the aggregate charges actually paid to the Company by GGP Management.  A copy of the Reverse Services Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference to this Item 1.01.

Employee Matters Agreement

On November 9, 2010, the Company entered into an employee matters agreement (the “Employee Matters Agreement”) with GGP Management, which governs the Company’s compensation and employee benefit obligations with respect to the Company’s current and former employees and for other employment and employee benefits matters.  The Employee Matters Agreement allocates liabilities and responsibilities related to employee compensation and benefit plans and programs and related matters in connection with the Spin-Off, including the treatment of outstanding option awards, annual and long-term incentive awards, severance arrangements, retirement plans and welfare benefit obligations.  Under the Employee Matters Agreement, the Company assumes all liabilities and assets relating to employee compensation and benefits for its current and former employees (including compensation awarded pursuant to GGP Management’s incentive plan for full-time employees, the 2010 Cash Value Added Incentive Compensation Plan (the “CVA Plan”)), and GGP Management generally retains all liabilities and assets relating to employee compensation and benefits for current and former GGP Management employees (including compensation awarded pursuant to the CVA Plan).  For a more detailed summary of the Employee Matters Agreement, see the description beginning on page 41 of the Form 10 under “Item 1. Business.”  A copy of the Employee Matters Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 and incorporated herein by reference to this Item 1.01.

Employee Leasing Agreement

On November 9, 2010, the Company entered into an employee leasing agreement (the “Employee Leasing Agreement”) with GGP Management pursuant to which GGP Management has agreed to provide to the Company all individuals employed by GGP Management exclusively in or in support of the Company’s business and other employees agreed upon by GGP Management and the Company (collectively, the “Leased Employees”).  The Leased Employees will remain employees of GGP Management for the purposes of payroll, employment taxes, employee benefits, workers compensation and related obligations.  Following each pay period, the Company will pay GGP Management for all direct payroll costs (including wages, bonuses, incentive compensation, severance, employee benefit and

3

insurance costs), indirect payroll costs (billed as 2% and 4.25% of corporate employees’ and field employees’ earnings, respectively) and out-of-pocket expenses attributable to Leased Employees.  The Employee Leasing Agreement terminates on December 31, 2010, unless earlier terminated by the Company.  A copy of the Employee Leasing Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4 and incorporated herein by reference to this Item 1.01.

Tax Matters Agreement

On November 9, 2010, the Company and GGP entered into a tax matters agreement (the “Tax Matters Agreement”) that governs the rights, responsibilities and obligations of each of the parties with respect to taxes, tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax proceedings and assistance and cooperation in respect of tax matters.  Taxes resulting from the failure of certain of the transactions related to the Spin-Off to qualify as a tax-free transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will generally be borne by the Company and GGP based on percentages to be determined in accordance with their relative market capitalization.  However, if the failure to qualify is attributable to the Company’s or GGP’s action or inaction or any event (or series of events) involving the Company’s or GGP’s assets or stock, the resulting liability will be borne in full by the Company or GGP, as applicable. The Company’s obligations under the Tax Matters Agreement are not subject to any cap.  The Tax Matters Agreement also restricts the Company’s ability to take actions that could cause the Spin-Off to fail to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  For a more detailed summary of the Tax Matters Agreement, see the description beginning on page 40 of the Form 10 under “Item 1. Business.”  A copy of the Tax Matters Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.5 and incorporated herein by reference to this Item 1.01.

Surety Bond Indemnity Agreement

On November 9, 2010, the Company and GGP entered into a surety bond indemnity agreement (the “Surety Bond Indemnity Agreement”) that governs the continuation of certain surety bonds that were issued under GGP’s surety bond facilities prior to the Spin-Off in connection with projects related to the Company’s business (the “THHC Bonds”). Under the Surety Bond Indemnity Agreement, the Company has agreed to reimburse GGP for any applicable premiums and fees in connection with the THHC Bonds, and to pay GGP an additional market rate for the continued use of its surety bond facilities. The Company has also agreed to indemnify GGP or its applicable subsidiary from and against, and pay to GGP or its applicable subsidiary the amount of, any and all losses resulting from the THHC Bonds.  The Company has agreed to replace, discharge or eliminate each of the THHC Bonds as promptly as practicable, but within 24 months of the Spin-Off, with a new surety bond, letter of credit or similar instrument that does not involve any recourse to GGP or its applicable subsidiary.  A copy of the Surety Bond Indemnity Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.6 and incorporated herein by reference to this Item 1.01.

Stockholder Investment Agreements

In connection with the plan of reorganization, GGP entered into the Investment Agreements pursuant to which the Investors purchased $250 million of the Company’s common stock at the effective time of the Spin-Off.  In connection with the Investment Agreements, the Company entered into warrant agreements, registration rights agreements and stockholders agreements with the Investors.  The descriptions of these agreements included in Item 3.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K are incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

Capital Agreement provides for demand rights and customary piggyback registration rights for M.B. Capital.  The M.B. Capital Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference to this Item 1.01.

(“Blackstone” and together with its permitted assigns, the “Blackstone Investors”) whereby Blackstone subscribed for approximately 7.6% of the shares of reorganized GGP’s and the Company’s common stock issued to each of the Investors under the Investment Agreements and, in connection therewith, received an allocation of each Investor’s warrants issued pursuant to the Warrant Agreements (as described herein) to acquire the Company’s common stock on the date of the Spin-Off (collectively, the “Blackstone Designation”).

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

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

18

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

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

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

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

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

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

19

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

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

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

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

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

20

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

2.6           Novation of Liabilities.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

4.4           Record Retention.

(a)           To facilitate the possible exchange of Information pursuant to this Article IV and other provisions of this Agreement after the Effective Time, the parties agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to retain all Information in their respective possession or control in accordance with the policies or ordinary course practices of GGP or Spinco, as

(b)           Except in accordance with its, or its applicable Subsidiaries’, policies and ordinary course practices, no party will destroy, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to destroy, any Information that would, in accordance with such policies or ordinary course practices, be archived or otherwise filed in a centralized filing system by such party or its applicable Subsidiaries; provided, however, that (i) in the case of any Information relating to employee benefits, no party will destroy, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to destroy, any such Information until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (giving effect to any extensions thereof), (ii) in the case of any Information relating to a pending or threatened Action (including any pending or threatened investigation by a Governmental Authority) that is known to the members of the Group in possession of such Information, the parties shall comply with the requirements of the applicable “Litigation Hold” (provided, that, with respect to any pending or threatened Action arising after the Plan Effective Date, the requirements of this clause (ii) shall apply only to the extent that whichever member of the GGP Group or the Spinco Group that is in possession of such Information has been notified in writing pursuant to a “Litigation Hold” by the other party of such pending or threatened Action) and (iii) no party will destroy, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to destroy, any Information required to be retained by applicable Law.

(c)           In the event of either party’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ inadvertent failure to comply with its applicable document retention policies as required under this Section 4.4, such party shall be liable to the other party solely for the amount of any monetary fines or penalties imposed or levied against such other party by a Governmental Authority (which fines or penalties shall not include any Liabilities asserted in connection with the claims underlying the applicable Action, other than fines or penalties resulting from any claim of spoliation) as a result of such other party’s inability to produce Information caused by such inadvertent failure and, notwithstanding Sections 5.2 and 5.3, shall not be liable to such other party for any other Liabilities.

4.5           Liability.  No party shall have any liability to any other party in the event that any Information exchanged or provided pursuant to this Agreement which is an estimate or forecast, or which is based on an estimate or forecast, is found to be inaccurate in the absence of willful misconduct by the party providing such Information.

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

(c)           In furtherance and without limiting the provisions of Sections 4.7(a) and (b), the parties shall cooperate and consult to the extent reasonably necessary with respect to (i) any Third Party Claims and (ii) any written request for access to Information or

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

(f)            In connection with any matter contemplated by this Section 4.7, the parties will enter into a mutually acceptable joint defense agreement so as to maintain to the extent practicable any applicable attorney-client privilege, work product immunity or other applicable privileges or immunities of any member of any Group.

(a)           The parties recognize that legal and other professional services that have been and will be provided prior to the Effective Time have been and will be rendered for the collective benefit of each of the members of the GGP Group and the Spinco Group, and that each of the members of the GGP Group and the Spinco Group should be deemed to be the client with respect to such services for the purposes of asserting all privileges which may be asserted under applicable Law in connection therewith.  The parties recognize that legal and other professional services will be provided following the Effective Time, which services will be rendered solely for the benefit of the GGP Group or the Spinco Group, as the case may be.

(b)           The parties agree as follows:

(i)            GGP shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with any privileged Information that relates solely to the GGP Business and not to the Spinco Business, whether or not the privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the GGP Group or any member of the Spinco Group. GGP shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all

32

privileges in connection with any privileged Information that relates solely to any Excluded Liabilities resulting from any Actions that are now pending or may be asserted in the future, whether or not the privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the GGP Group or any member of the Spinco Group; and

(ii)           Spinco shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with any privileged Information that relates solely to the Spinco Business and not to the GGP Business, whether or not the privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the Spinco Group or any member of the GGP Group. Spinco shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with any privileged Information that relates solely to any Spinco Liabilities resulting from any Actions that are now pending or may be asserted in the future, whether or not the privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the Spinco Group or any member of the GGP Group.

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

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

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

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

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

33

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

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

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

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

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

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

5.6           Procedures for Indemnification of Third Party Claims.

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

38

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

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

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

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

39

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

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

5.7           Additional Matters.

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

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

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

40

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

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

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

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

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

5.10         Guarantees.

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

41

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

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

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

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

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

6.2           Confidentiality.

(a)           From and after the Effective Time, subject to Section 6.2(d) and except as contemplated by or otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, without the prior written consent of Spinco (which may be withheld in Spinco’s sole discretion), GGP shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and officers, directors, employees, and other agents and representatives, including attorneys, agents, customers, suppliers, contractors, consultants and other representatives of any Person providing financing (collectively,

43

“Representatives”), not to, directly or indirectly, disclose, reveal, divulge or communicate to any Person other than Representatives of such party or of its Subsidiaries who reasonably need to know such information to provide services to any member of the GGP Group, or use or otherwise exploit for its own benefit or for the benefit of any third Person, any Spinco Confidential Information.  If any disclosures are made in connection with providing services to any member of the GGP Group under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, then the Spinco Confidential Information so disclosed shall be used for the sole purpose of performing such services.  GGP shall use the same degree of care to prevent and restrain the unauthorized use or disclosure of the Spinco Confidential Information by any of its Representatives as it currently uses for its own confidential information of a like nature, but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care.  For purposes of this Section 6.2(a), any Information, material or document exclusively relating to the Spinco Business that is furnished to, or in the possession of, GGP, irrespective of the form of communication, and all notes, analyses, compilations, forecasts, data, translations, studies, memoranda or other documents prepared by GGP or its officers, directors and Subsidiaries, that contain or otherwise reflect such information, material or document, is herein referred to as “Spinco Confidential Information.”  Spinco Confidential Information does not include, and there shall be no obligation hereunder with respect to, information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public, other than as a result of a disclosure by GGP not otherwise permissible hereunder, (ii) GGP can demonstrate was or became available to GGP from a source other than Spinco or its Subsidiaries or (iii) is developed independently by GGP without reference to the Spinco Confidential Information; provided, however, that, in the case of clause (ii), the source of such information was not known by GGP to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group with respect to such information.

(b)           From and after the Effective Time, subject to Section 6.2(d) and except as contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, without the prior written consent of GGP (which may be withheld in GGP’s sole discretion), Spinco shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives, not to, directly or indirectly, disclose, reveal, divulge or communicate to any Person other than Representatives of such party or of its Subsidiaries who reasonably need to know such information to provide services to Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group, or use or otherwise exploit for its own benefit or for the benefit of any third Person, any GGP Confidential Information.  If any disclosures are made in connection with providing services to any member of the Spinco Group under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, then the GGP Confidential Information so disclosed shall be used for the sole purpose of performing such services.  The Spinco Group shall use the same degree of care to prevent and restrain the unauthorized use or disclosure of the GGP Confidential Information by any of their Representatives as they currently use for their own confidential information of a like nature, but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care.  For purposes of this Section 6.2(b), any Information, material or document exclusively relating to the businesses currently or formerly conducted, or proposed to be conducted, by GGP or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any member of the Spinco Group) that is furnished to, or in the possession of, any member of the Spinco Group, irrespective of the form of communication, and all notes, analyses, compilations, forecasts, data, translations, studies, memoranda or other documents prepared by Spinco, any member of the Spinco Group or their respective officers, directors and Subsidiaries, that contain or otherwise reflect such information, material or document, is herein referred to as

44

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

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

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

45

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

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

6.3           Insurance Matters.

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

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

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

(ii)           to file claims against GGP’s claims made policies including Directors & Officers, Fiduciary Liability, Employment Practices Liability, Crime, and Pollution

46

Legal Liability coverage in force at the time the claim is made if the act giving rise to the claim occurred prior to the Effective Time;

provided, however, that, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii), such access to, and the right to make claims under such insurance policies , shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable insurance policies, including any limits on coverage or scope, any deductible and other fees and expenses, and shall be subject to:

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

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

(C)           Spinco shall exclusively bear and be responsible for (and GGP shall have no obligation to repay or reimburse Spinco or any of its Subsidiaries for) and pay the applicable insurers as required under the applicable insurance policies for any and all costs as a result of having access to, or making claims under, any insurance provided pursuant to Pre-GGP Insurance Policies, including any deductibles and self-insured retention associated with such claims, retrospective, retroactive or prospective premium adjustments associated with the applicable insurance policies, catastrophic coverage charges, overhead, claim handling and administrative costs, Taxes, surcharges, state assessments, reinsurance costs, other related costs and claim payments, relating to all open, closed or re-opened claims covered by the applicable policies, whether such claims are made by Spinco, its employees or third Persons; and

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

(c)           Any payments, costs and adjustments required pursuant to Section 6.3(b) (other than payments, costs and adjustments with respect to Pre-GGP Insurance Policies, which payments, costs and adjustments shall be paid by Spinco directly to the applicable insurers) shall be billed by GGP to Spinco on a monthly basis and payable within thirty (30) days from receipt of invoice.  If payment is not made within ninety (90) days of invoice, the outstanding amount will accrue interest from and including the ninetieth (90th) day following the date of the invoice to (but excluding) the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to ten percent (10%).  If GGP

47

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

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

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

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

(h)           GGP has obtained and shall provide for the joint benefit of GGP and Spinco, a fully paid directors and officers liability run-off insurance policy, for claims made after the Effective Time covering wrongful acts which take place after the commencement of the Bankruptcy Cases and on or prior to the Effective Time and arising out of or relating to the entities and business that are part of the Spinco Group as of immediately after the Effective Time, with a policy period of at least three (3) years from and after the Effective Time, covering (i) current as of the Effective Time and former directors and officers of GGP, (ii) current as of the Effective Time and former directors and officers of the entities and business that are part of the Spinco Group as of immediately after the Effective Time, (iii) current as of the Effective Time and former GGP employees for securities claims and (iv) GGP and its Subsidiaries and the entities and business that are part of the Spinco Group as of immediately after the Effective Time

48

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

6.5           Litigation; Cooperation.

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

49

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

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

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

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

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

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

50

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

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

ARTICLE VII

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

7.1           General Provisions.

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

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

51

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

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

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

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

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

7.3           Arbitration.

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

52

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

53

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

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

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

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

“Treasury Regulation” means a Treasury regulation promulgated under the Code.

B.            Restrictions.

(1)           Except as provided in paragraph C of this Article XV, no Person shall be permitted to make an Acquisition and any such purported Acquisition will be void ab initio, (i) to the extent that after giving effect to such purported Acquisition the purported transferee or a Person related to the purported transferee would become a Substantial Holder and such purported Acquisition would decrease the purported transferor’s

7

Percentage Stock Ownership of Corporation Securities, or (ii) if such Person is a Substantial Holder and such purported Acquisition would increase such Substantial Holder’s Percentage Stock Ownership of Corporation Securities; provided, however, that nothing in this Article XV shall apply to any Acquisition pursuant to which the acquiring Person owns at least 80% (or such other lesser amount as may be required from time to time to conduct a merger in accordance with Section 253 of the DGCL) of the Voting Stock.  The prior sentence is not intended to prevent the Corporation Securities from being DTC-eligible and shall not preclude the settlement of any transactions in the Corporation Securities entered into through the facilities of a national securities exchange, but such transaction, if prohibited by the prior sentence, shall nonetheless be a Prohibited Acquisition.

(2)           The Corporation may require as a condition to the registration of the Acquisition of any Corporation Securities or the payment of any distribution on any Corporation Securities that the proposed acquirer or payee furnish to the Corporation the information reasonably necessary to allow the Corporation to determine whether a transaction would constitute a Prohibited Acquisition (including with respect to all the direct or indirect ownership interests in such Corporation Securities).  The Corporation may make such arrangements or issue such instructions to its stock transfer agent as may be determined by the Board of Directors to be necessary or advisable to implement this Article XV, including, without limitation, authorizing such transfer agent to require an affidavit from a purported transferee regarding such Person’s actual and constructive ownership of Corporation Securities and other evidence that an Acquisition will not be prohibited by this Article XV as a condition to registering any Acquisition.

C.            Certain Exceptions.  The restrictions set forth in paragraph B of this Article XV shall not apply to (i) a proposed Acquisition if the transferor or the transferee, upon providing at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of such proposed Acquisition to the Board of Directors, obtains the written consent to the proposed Acquisition from a majority of the Board of Directors, (ii) a proposed Acquisition that is made as part of (A) a tender or exchange offer by the Corporation to purchase Corporation Securities, (B) a purchase program effected by the Corporation on the open market and not the result of a privately-negotiated transaction, (C) any optional or required redemption of a Corporation Security pursuant to the terms of such security, or (D) the acquisition of any capital stock or other equity interest or exercise of any subscription right or warrant or option issued pursuant to or contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization or the Investment Agreements, or (iii) an Acquisition after the Restriction Release Date.  In determining whether to grant its consent to a proposed Acquisition, the Board of Directors is permitted, but not required, to assume, among other things, that any shares held by a Substantial Holder will shortly be sold and to take into account potential capital transactions in which the Corporation may seek to engage in the future (whether or not currently under consideration).  As a condition to granting its consent, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, require (at the expense of the transferor and/or transferee) such representations from the transferor and/or transferee or such opinions of counsel to be rendered by counsel selected by the Board of Directors, in each case as to such matters as the Board of Directors determines.
