Such Value shall be determined by Parent, acting in good faith and based upon a commercially reasonable estimate of the amount that would be realized by Parent if each asset of Parent (and each asset of each partnership, limited liability company, trust, joint venture or other entity in which Parent owns a direct or indirect interest) were sold to an unrelated purchaser in an arms’ length transaction where neither the purchaser nor the seller were under economic compulsion to enter into the transaction (without regard to any discount in value as a result of Parent’s minority interest in any property or any illiquidity of Parent’s interest in any property).

ARTICLE II

SECTION 2.1. Exchange of BPG Subsidiary Common Stock.

(a) From and after the first anniversary of the closing of the initial public offering of Parent Common Stock, each Holder shall be entitled at any time and from time to time, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, to surrender shares of BPG Subsidiary Common Stock to BPG Subsidiary in exchange for the delivery to such Holder of, in the sole and absolute discretion of BPG Subsidiary, either (i) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock that is equal to the product of the number of shares of BPG Subsidiary Common Stock surrendered multiplied by the Exchange Rate or (ii) pursuant to Section 2.5, the Cash Amount (such exchange, an “Exchange”); provided, however, that the Financial Sponsor Holder may elect such exchange at any time.

(b) The Holders shall exercise their right to Exchange shares of BPG Subsidiary Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.1(a) above by delivering to BPG Subsidiary

 

2


an Election of Exchange no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date, duly executed by such Holder or its duly authorized attorney, in each case delivered at the principal executive offices of BPG Subsidiary. As promptly as practicable following the delivery of such Election of Exchange, but in no event later than three business days after receipt of the Election of Exchange, BPG Subsidiary shall deliver or cause to be delivered at the offices of the then-acting registrar and transfer agent of the Parent Common Stock or, if there is no then-acting registrar and transfer agent of the Parent Common Stock, at the principal executive offices of Parent, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock deliverable upon such Exchange, registered in the name of such Holder or its designee, or the Cash Amount, as applicable (such date of delivery of Parent Common Stock or the Cash Amount, the “Exchange Date”). To the extent such Holder’s shares are uncertificated, BPG Subsidiary will instead cause the then-acting registrar and transfer agent to record the transfer on Parent’s books. To the extent the Parent Common Stock is settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company and the exchanging Holder is permitted to hold such shares of Parent Common Stock through The Depository Trust Company, BPG Subsidiary will, subject to Section 2.1(c) below, upon the written instruction of such Holder, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the shares of Parent Common Stock deliverable to such Holder, through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, to the account of the participant of The Depository Trust Company designated by the Holder. Parent shall take such actions as may be required to ensure the performance by BPG Subsidiary of its obligations under this Section 2.1(b) and the foregoing Section 2.1(a), including the issuance and sale of shares of Parent Common Stock to or for the account of BPG Subsidiary in exchange for the delivery to Parent of a number of shares of BPG Subsidiary Common Stock that is equal to the number of shares of BPG Subsidiary Common Stock surrendered by such Holder.

(c) BPG Subsidiary, on the one hand, and each exchanging Holder, on the other hand, shall bear their own expenses in connection with the consummation of any Exchange, whether or not any such Exchange is ultimately consummated, except that BPG Subsidiary shall bear any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, any Exchange; provided, however, that if any shares of Parent Common Stock are to be delivered in a name other than that of the exchanging Holder, then such Holder or the person in whose name such Parent Common Stock is to be delivered shall pay to BPG Subsidiary the amount of any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, such Exchange or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of BPG Subsidiary that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 2.6, BPG Subsidiary shall not be required to effect an Exchange (including pursuant to Section 2.6) if such Exchange would result in any violation of the restrictions on ownership and transfer of Parent’s stock set forth in Parent’s charter; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in such event, BPG Subsidiary shall not be prohibited from delivering cash pursuant to an Exchange in accordance with this Agreement.

SECTION 2.2. Adjustment. The Exchange Rate shall be adjusted accordingly if there is: (i) any subdivision (by any unit split, unit distribution, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse unit split, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) of the BPG Subsidiary Common Stock that is not accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the Parent Common Stock; or (ii) any

 

3


subdivision (by any stock split, stock dividend or distribution, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse stock split, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) of the Parent Common Stock that is not accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the BPG Subsidiary Common Stock. Any adjustment to the Exchange Rate shall become effective immediately after the effective date of the event retroactive to the record date, if any, for the event giving rise thereto, it being intended that (i) adjustments to the Exchange Rate are to be made to avoid unintended dilution or anti-dilution as a result of transactions in which shares of Parent Common Stock are issued, redeemed or exchanged without a corresponding issuance, redemption or exchange of shares of BPG Subsidiary Common Stock, and (ii) if an Exchange Date shall fall between the record date and the effective date of any event of the type described above, that the Exchange Rate applicable to such Exchange shall be adjusted to take into account such event. If there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the Parent Common Stock is converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, then upon any subsequent Exchange, each Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such security, securities or other property that such Holder would have received if such Exchange had occurred immediately prior to the effective date of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction, taking into account any adjustment as a result of any subdivision (by any split, distribution or dividend, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of such security, securities or other property that occurs after the effective time of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction. For purposes of the foregoing, if the transaction causes Parent Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), the amount and kind of security, securities or other property into which the shares of BPG Subsidiary Common Stock will be exchangeable will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Parent Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election. For the avoidance of doubt, if there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which outstanding Parent Common Stock is converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, this Section 2.2 shall continue to be applicable, mutatis mutandis, with respect to such security or other property. This Agreement shall apply to the shares of BPG Subsidiary Common Stock held by the Holders as of the date hereof, as well as any shares of BPG Subsidiary Common Stock hereafter acquired by any Holder. This Agreement shall apply to, mutatis mutandis, and all references to “BPG Subsidiary Common Stock” shall be deemed to include, any security, securities or other property of BPG Subsidiary which may be issued in respect of, in exchange for, or in substitution of shares of BPG Subsidiary Common Stock by reason of any distribution or dividend, split, reverse split, combination, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, exchange (other than an Exchange) or other transaction. In the event that adjustments are made to the Adjustment Factor (as defined in the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Brixmor Operating Partnership LP (the “OP LPA”) pursuant to the OP LPA, BPG Subsidiary, in its sole discretion, and without duplication of any adjustments described above, may make similar adjustments to the Exchange Rate.

SECTION 2.3. Parent Common Stock to be Issued.

(a) Parent shall at all times during the period under which shares of Parent Common Stock may be required to be delivered under this Agreement, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Parent Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon an Exchange, such number of shares of Parent Common Stock as shall be deliverable upon any such Exchange in the event BPG Subsidiary determines to deliver shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued by Parent as contemplated in Section 2.1(b) in connection with such Exchange; provided that nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude BPG Subsidiary from satisfying its obligations in respect of the Exchange by delivery of shares of Parent Common Stock which are held in the treasury of BPG Subsidiary or any of its subsidiaries, by delivery of purchased shares of Parent Common Stock (which may or may not be held in the treasury of any subsidiary of Parent), or by delivery of the Cash Amount. BPG Subsidiary and Parent covenant that all Parent Common Stock issued in connection with an Exchange will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

(b) BPG Subsidiary and Parent covenant that, to the extent that a registration statement under the Securities Act is effective and available for any shares of Parent Common Stock that are delivered with respect to any Exchange, shares that have been registered under the Securities Act shall be delivered in respect of such Exchange. In the event that any Exchange for shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with this Agreement is to be effected at a time when any required registration has not become effective or otherwise is unavailable, upon the request and with the reasonable cooperation of the Holder, Parent and BPG Subsidiary shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly facilitate such Exchange pursuant to any reasonably available exemption from such registration requirements. Parent and BPG Subsidiary shall use commercially reasonable efforts to list the Parent Common Stock to be delivered upon exchange prior to such delivery upon each national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system upon which the outstanding Parent Common Stock may be listed or traded at the time of such delivery.

SECTION 2.4. Record Date. No Exchange pursuant to this Article II shall impair the right of any Holder to receive any dividends or distributions payable on the shares of BPG Subsidiary Common Stock so Exchanged in respect of a record date that occurs prior to the Exchange Date for such Exchange. For the avoidance of doubt, a Holder shall not be entitled to receive, in respect of a single record date, distributions or dividends both on shares of BPG Subsidiary Common Stock Exchanged by such Holder and on shares of Parent Common Stock received by such Holder in such Exchange.

SECTION 2.5. Exchange for Cash Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article II, by delivery of an Election of Exchange pursuant to Section 2.1(a), the Holder shall be deemed to have offered to sell its shares of BPG Subsidiary Common Stock described in the Election of Exchange to BPG Subsidiary, and BPG Subsidiary may, in its sole and absolute discretion, by means of delivery of a notice to such effect by 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the day immediately following the delivery of such Election of Exchange, elect to purchase directly and acquire such shares of BPG Subsidiary Common Stock on the Exchange Date by paying to such Holder the Cash Amount, whereupon BPG Subsidiary shall acquire the shares of BPG Subsidiary Common Stock offered for Exchange by such Holder. As promptly as practicable following the delivery of notice, BPG Subsidiary shall deposit or cause to be deposited the Cash Amount in the account of such exchanging Holder specified in its Election of

 

5


Exchange. In the event that BPG Subsidiary does not deliver such notice of such election to pay the Cash Amount by 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the day immediately following the delivery of such Election of Exchange, it shall be deemed to have elected to settle the Exchange with shares of Parent Common Stock.

SECTION 2.6. Exchange Via Merger of BPG Subsidiary. Parent agrees that, from and after the first anniversary of the closing of the initial public offering of Parent Common Stock, upon written request by Holders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of BPG Subsidiary Common Stock held by all Holders, and subject to compliance with applicable law, it shall, as promptly as practicable following delivery of such request but subject to Section 2.1(d),effect an Exchange by causing BPG Subsidiary to merge with and into Parent or a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, with the Holders of all outstanding shares of BPG Subsidiary Common Stock to receive, in the sole and absolute discretion of BPG Subsidiary, either (i) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock that is equal to the product of the number of shares of BPG Subsidiary Common Stock held by the Holders multiplied by the Exchange Rate or (ii) pursuant to Section 2.5, the Cash Amount. By executing this Agreement, each Holder hereby grants to BPG Subsidiary, and each officer thereof individually, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, an irrevocable proxy to vote, consent or otherwise act with respect to all of the Holder’s shares of BPG Subsidiary Common Stock, as fully, to the same extent and with the same effect as such Holder might or could do under any applicable laws governing the rights and powers of stockholders of a Delaware corporation and directs that such proxy shall be voted in connection with such matters as are the subject of a vote or consent in favor of such merger of BPG Subsidiary with and into Parent and to otherwise take any action necessary to effect such merger. Each such Holder hereby affirms that this proxy is given as a term of this Agreement and as such is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
