To the extent that a particular Third Party Warranty pertains to improvements in more than one Lot, and cannot be separately assigned, the Owner possessing rights to enforce such Third Party Warranty (the “Third Party Warranty Owner”) shall take such steps as any other Owner whose property is benefited by such Third Party Warranty (a “Requesting Warranty Owner”) from time to time reasonably may request in order to permit the Requesting Warranty Owner to receive the benefits thereof, so long as the Requesting Warranty Owner reimburses the Third Party Warranty Owner for all reasonable costs associated therewith (to the extent fairly allocable to the requests made by the Requesting Warranty Owner) and otherwise takes steps reasonably requested by the Third Party Warranty Owner to assure that the Third Party Warranty Owner shall not be exposed to unreimbursed liability as a consequence of taking the steps requested by the Requesting Warranty Owner.
          1.1.2 All Liquidated Damages shall be apportioned between the applicable Owners in an equitable manner. If such Owner shall be unable to agree on the equitable apportionment of any Liquidated Damages, such Owners shall engage an Independent Expert to determine such apportionment pursuant to the provisions of Section 14.16.

used exclusively for the operation, maintenance and repair by Sempra of the HVAC Plant and the HVAC Facilities; provided, however, that:
                    2.2.1.1 H/C I Owner shall have the right to relocate the HVAC Plant, subject to the requirement that, without a Serviced Owner’s consent, the relocation shall not interfere with or affect the heating, ventilating and air conditioning service required to be provided to such Serviced Owner pursuant to its ESA (except to a de minimis extent) or result in any additional cost or expense to such Serviced Owner; and
                    2.2.1.2 During the Sempra Term, Sempra shall operate, maintain, repair and restore the HVAC Plant in accordance with the provisions of the Initial ESAs. From and after the expiration of the Sempra Term, the Substitute HVAC Operator shall (i) operate, maintain, repair and restore the HVAC Plant and the HVAC Facilities, and (ii) to the extent not covered pursuant to the property damage insurance required to be carried in accordance with the provisions of Article 10, shall procure replacement cost property damage insurance covering the HVAC Plant and the HVAC Facilities and any other insurance equivalent to that which Sempra was required to maintain under the Initial ESAs.
          2.2.2 Intentionally Omitted.
          2.2.3 Extension/Termination of HVAC Operator.
                    2.2.3.1 Extension/Termination on Scheduled Termination Date Prior to Material Amortization Date. Prior to any Scheduled Termination Date prior to the Material Amortization Date, H/C I Owner, H/C II Owner and SECC Owner shall jointly determine, after good-faith consultation with the other Serviced Owners, whether the Serviced Owners that are parties to Qualifying ESAs (the “Relevant Serviced Owners”)


 

20

should (a) extend the Qualifying ESAs with the then-existing HVAC Operator or (b) terminate the Qualifying ESAs in accordance with their terms (i.e., in accordance with either clause (i) or clause (iii) of Section 2.5(a) of each Qualifying ESA) and enter into new ESAs with a Substitute HVAC Operator; provided, however, that if such new ESAs would be reasonably likely to result in Mall I Owner or Mall II Owner making payments to the Substitute HVAC Operator or H/C I Owner in excess of the sum of (x) the payments that would be owed by Mall I Owner or Mall II Owner, as applicable, to H/C I Owner pursuant to clause (b) of the first sentence of Section 2.2.9 or the proviso clause of the first sentence of Section 2.2.10, as applicable, if the Qualifying ESAs were not terminated and (y) the payments that would be owed by Mall I Owner or Mall II Owner, as applicable, to the then-existing HVAC Operator or H/C I Owner due to Mall I Owner’s or Mall II Owner’s, as applicable, default under its Qualifying ESA not resulting from a default by H/C I Owner of its obligations under said Section 2.2.9 or Section 2.2.10, as applicable, if the Qualifying ESAs were not terminated or due to ESA Amendments executed on or after the date hereof that were initiated by Mall I Owner’s or Mall II Owner’s, as applicable, desire to enter into an ESA Amendment, H/C I Owner and SECC Owner shall not so determine to terminate the Qualifying ESAs unless either (1) Mall I Owner or Mall II Owner, as applicable, consents to such determination or (2) H/C I Owner agrees to be responsible for such excess. If H/C I Owner, H/C II Owner and SECC Owner do not jointly notify the other Serviced Owners of their determination to extend or terminate the then-existing Qualifying ESAs as of two (2) Business Days prior to the last day that the Relevant Serviced Owners have the right, under the Qualifying ESAs, to elect to extend the Qualifying ESAs, or if, pursuant to the preceding sentence, they do not have the right

 


 

21
to determine to terminate the then-existing ESAs, then they shall be deemed to have determined pursuant to the preceding sentence that each Relevant Serviced Owner should extend its Qualified ESA with the then-existing HVAC Operator. If H/C I Owner, H/C II Owner and SECC Owner determine, or are deemed to have determined, that the Qualifying ESAs should be extended in accordance with their terms, then each Relevant Serviced Owner shall be obligated to extend its Qualifying ESA (and the Scheduled Termination Date applying thereunder) in accordance with Section 2.5 of such Qualifying ESA. Conversely, if H/C I Owner, H/C II Owner and SECC Owner determine that the Relevant Serviced Owners should terminate the Qualifying ESAs in accordance with their terms and enter into new ESAs with a Substitute HVAC Operator, then:
               2.2.3.1.1 Each Qualifying ESA with the existing HVAC Operator shall terminate as of the Scheduled Termination Date set forth therein. Unless otherwise agreed by each of the Serviced Owners:
               2.2.3.1.1.1 (i) each Relevant Serviced Owner shall be responsible for payment of any termination payment due to the existing HVAC Operator under such Owner’s Qualifying ESA (i.e., the payment due under clause (iii) of Section 2.5(a) of each Qualifying ESA, if applicable), (ii) Mall II Owner shall reimburse H/C I Owner for a portion of H/C I Owner’s termination payment, with such portion being an amount equal to seventy-three and ninety-five hundredths percent (73.95%) of Mall I Owner’s termination payment, and (iii) each Serviced Owner shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless the other Serviced Owners against any losses, claims, actions, liabilities, costs or


 

22

expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of any failure to comply with this Section 2.2.3.1.1.1; and
               2.2.3.1.1.2 H/C I Owner shall succeed to the ownership of all of the HVAC Facilities, except for (a) those HVAC Facilities already owned by another Serviced Owner and (b) any other HVAC Facilities installed for the benefit of a particular Serviced Owner alone, ownership of which shall be transferred to the particular Serviced Owner benefited.
               2.2.3.1.2 Each Relevant Serviced Owner shall enter into a new ESA with a Substitute HVAC Operator selected by H/C I Owner, H/C II Owner and SECC Owner after good-faith consultation with the other Serviced Owners, provided that any Substitute HVAC Operator must, in H/C I Owner’s, H/C II Owner’s and SECC Owner’s good-faith judgment, be capable of providing substantially the same quality of service to all Serviced Owners as the HVAC Operator being replaced. So long as the proviso clause of the preceding sentence is complied with, the Substitute HVAC Operator selected by H/C I Owner, H/C II Owner and SECC Owner may be H/C I Owner itself. The new ESA shall be substantially in the form of the Qualifying ESA which the Serviced Owner had with the prior HVAC Operator except that:
               2.2.3.1.2.1 The required periodic payments to be made by each Relevant Serviced Owner shall be calculated so as to cover only the incremental expense of procuring the energy services and otherwise shall be equitably allocated among the Serviced Owners taking into account, inter alia, each Serviced Owner’s HVAC Plant Percentage (and provided that if the


 

23

Serviced Owners cannot agree on such equitable allocation, the matter shall be resolved by the Independent Expert); and
               2.2.3.1.2.2 Each Owner shall grant appropriate access and other rights to the Substitute HVAC Operator so as to permit the Substitute HVAC Operator to utilize the utility easements granted pursuant to the further provisions of this Agreement and otherwise provide heating, ventilating and air conditioning service to the Serviced Owners in accordance with the provisions of their respective ESAs.
                  2.2.3.1.3 H/C I Owner shall provide appropriate and commercially reasonable possessory and use rights to permit the Substitute HVAC Operator to use and occupy the HVAC Space together with any buildings and improvements constructed thereon.
               2.2.3.2 Termination in the Event of “Major Default.” As more particularly set forth in the Qualifying ESAs, each Relevant Serviced Owner has the right to terminate its Qualifying ESA in the event of certain HVAC Operator defaults (and subject to certain notice and cure periods). In the event of any such termination, the terminating Serviced Owner shall provide prior written notice of such termination to each of the other Serviced Owners. The Owners further agree as follows with respect to any such termination:
                  2.2.3.2.1 Within fifteen (15) days after the other Serviced Owners’ receipt of any such termination notice from a terminating Serviced Owner (or, if the termination is contested by the HVAC Operator, from the date that the other Serviced Owners receive confirmation that any such contest has been resolved and


 

24

that the termination shall be effective as of a date stated (the “Material Default Termination Date”)), the Serviced Owners shall confer in good-faith to agree on a Substitute HVAC Operator reasonably acceptable to each of the Serviced Owners. If the Serviced Owners shall be unable to agree on a Substitute HVAC Operator within thirty (30) days, then H/C I Owner and SECC Owner shall jointly select the Substitute HVAC Operator in accordance with the preceding Section 2.2.3.1.2, which Substitute HVAC Operator shall be responsible for providing heating, ventilating and air conditioning service that is comparable in all material respects to the service required to be provided by the existing HVAC Operator under the existing ESAs. Any increase in the cost of providing such level of service in excess of the cost of providing such level of service by the existing HVAC Operator shall (subject to Section 2.2.10) be borne by the Serviced Owner(s) initially electing to terminate the existing HVAC Operator pro rata based upon their respective Serviced Owner’s HVAC Plant Percentages.
               2.2.3.2.2 Effective upon the Material Default Termination Date, each of the Qualifying ESAs shall terminate. Each Relevant Serviced Owner shall be responsible for payment of any termination payments due to the terminated HVAC Operator under its ESA, Mall II Owner shall reimburse H/C I Owner for a portion of H/C I Owner’s termination payment, with such portion being an amount equal to seventy-three and ninety-five hundredths percent (73.95%) of Mall I Owner’s termination payment, and each Serviced Owner shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless the other Serviced Owners against any losses, claims, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of any failure to comply with this Section 2.2.3.2.2.


 

25

               2.2.3.2.3 Effective upon the Material Default Termination Date, each of the Relevant Serviced Owners shall enter into a new ESA with the Substitute HVAC Operator selected in accordance with this Section 2.2.3.2 substantially in the form of its Qualifying ESA with the prior HVAC Operator, except that:
               2.2.3.2.3.1 The required periodic payments to be made by each Relevant Serviced Owner shall be calculated so as to cover only the incremental expense of procuring the energy services and otherwise shall be equitably allocated among the Relevant Serviced Owners taking into account, inter alia, each Serviced Owner’s HVAC Plant Percentage (and provided that if the Serviced Owners cannot agree on such equitable allocation, the matter shall be resolved by the Independent Expert); and
               2.2.3.2.3.2 Each Owner shall grant appropriate access and other rights to the Substitute HVAC Operator so as to permit the Substitute HVAC Operator to utilize the utility easements granted pursuant to the further provisions of this Agreement and otherwise provide heating, ventilating and air conditioning service to the Serviced Owners in accordance with the provisions of the ESAs.
               2.2.3.2.4 If the ESA with Sempra or any Substitute HVAC Operator is terminated and the Relevant Serviced Owners enter into new ESAs with a Substitute HVAC Operator (unless the Substitute HVAC Operator is H/C I Owner) in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.2.3, then H/C I Owner shall provide appropriate and commercially reasonable possessory and use rights to permit the Substitute HVAC Operator to use and occupy the HVAC Space together with any buildings and


 

26

improvements constructed thereon so long as such Substitute HVAC Operator (a) enters into agreements reasonably satisfactory to H/C I Owner indemnifying H/C I Owner against all losses, claims, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses (including attorney’s fees) arising out of the actions or inactions of such Substitute HVAC Operator, and (b) obtains insurance coverage substantially similar to that required to be obtained by Sempra under the Initial ESAs.
          2.2.4 Extension/Termination on or after the Material Amortization Date. On or before the date which shall be eighteen (18) months prior to the Material Amortization Date, H/C I Owner shall submit in writing to the other Serviced Owners a proposed plan (a “Replacement HVAC Plant Plan”) for the refurbishment or replacement of the HVAC Plant. The Replacement HVAC Plant Plan shall provide for the furnishing of heating, ventilating and air conditioning services for a commercially reasonable time period from and after the Material Amortization Date which are at least equivalent in all material respects (including, without limitation, quantity and quality) to those services required to be provided by Sempra or any Substitute HVAC Operator, as applicable, immediately prior to such date on financing and payment terms reasonably acceptable to the Serviced Owners, the cost of which each Serviced Owner shall share in proportion to its HVAC Plant Percentage. The Replacement HVAC Plant Plan must be approved by the other Serviced Owners, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; if the parties cannot agree on whether such approval is being properly withheld (taking into account the next sentence), the dispute shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the provisions hereof. In all events, a Serviced Owner shall have the right to withhold its approval to a


 

27

proposed Replacement HVAC Plant Plan if the implementation of the proposed Replacement HVAC Plant Plan will not permit such Serviced Owner to operate its business for its Permitted Use or would unfairly burden such Owner as compared to the other Owners or unfairly benefit any other Owner. The Serviced Owners shall commence the implementation of such Replacement HVAC Plant Plan within thirty (30) days of approval thereof by the Serviced Owners other than H/C I Owner.
          2.2.5 Termination Other than by an Owner. If the Qualifying ESAs shall terminate for any reason other than those described in Sections 2.2.3 or 2.2.4, as expeditiously as possible after the termination of the Qualifying ESAs, H/C I Owner shall submit in writing to the other Serviced Owners a proposed Replacement HVAC Plant Plan, and all of the provisions of Section 2.2.4 shall apply with respect hereto.
          2.2.6 Termination of HVAC Ground Lease. H/C I Owner agrees for the benefit of each of the other Serviced Owners that it shall not terminate the HVAC Ground Lease or any other possessory interest granted to the HVAC Operator in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.2 other than in connection with an election to terminate all of the Qualifying ESAs in accordance with the provisions hereof.
          2.2.7 Amendment of ESAs. No Relevant Serviced Owner shall enter into any amendment, modification, restatement, substitution or replacement (each, a “ESA Amendment”) of its ESA with the HVAC Operator which ESA Amendment could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the rights and/or obligations of any other Serviced Owner.
          2.2.8 Obligations of Substitute HVAC Operator. The Substitute HVAC Operator shall cause the maintenance, repair and restoration of the HVAC Plant; provided, however, that any such HVAC Operator that is an Owner can satisfy its obligations under


 

28

71

                                   4.2.4.1.1 H/C I Owner hereby grants to Mall I Owner and its Affiliates a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as hereinafter provided), irrevocable, perpetual and royalty-free worldwide license, without charge or fee, to use and display the names “The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino”, “The Venetian Las Vegas” and “The Venetian” (each, a “Venetian Name”) and the logo shown on Exhibit I-1 attached hereto and made a part hereof (as the same may be changed as described below) (the “Venetian Logo”); provided, however, that (1) all uses of any Venetian Name and the Venetian Logo must be consistent with a First-class Las Vegas Boulevard-style hotel casino; (2) all uses of any Venetian Name must either be (y) as part of the Venetian Logo or (z) consistent with the style guidelines described in Exhibit R-1 attached hereto and made a part hereof, as the same may be amended from time to time by Mall I Owner and H/C I Owner; (3) any use of any Venetian Name and Venetian Logo on, or as a part of, advertising, marketing or promotional materials or products, goods and items for sale shall be a proper use of such license only if (x) the applicable material, product, good or item also includes a reference to the Grand Canal Shoppes name or a Tenant or other Phase I Mall occupant, or a business being operated at the Phase I Mall (so that, for example, a Tenant in the Phase I Mall can sell (pursuant to the sublicense described in the next paragraph) items that say “[Name of tenant] at The Venetian” or “[Name of tenant] at the Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian,” but cannot sell items that say only “The Venetian” and (y) in the case of products, goods and items for sale, H/C I Owner has given prior written approval of such use; (4) any use of a Venetian Name in any advertising, marketing or promotional material must be either in the same typeface as appears in the Venetian Logo, the “Optifavrile” or “MrsEaves” typeface or the predominant typeface of such


 

72

material and (5) whenever a Venetian Name is used, the first letter of each word comprising such name shall be capitalized. No use of such license pursuant to clause (3) of the preceding sentence shall impose, or be deemed to impose, any liability on H/C I Owner (or any affiliate thereof) with respect to the applicable material, product, good or item. H/C I Owner reserves the right to replace, alter or modify the Venetian Logo at any time in its sole discretion, but upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Mall I Owner. Upon any such notification from H/C I Owner to Mall I Owner, Mall I Owner shall, as of the effective date of the applicable change as set forth in such notice, cease, and cause Mall I Occupants to cease, using the old Venetian Logo (but shall continue to have the rights set forth herein with respect to the replacement, altered or modified Venetian Logo). Notwithstanding any prior agreements between H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner to the contrary, as of the date hereof the foregoing license represents the only rights of Mall I Owner to use the Venetian Name and the Venetian Logo (and therefore any such prior agreements are hereby deemed terminated and of no force and effect).
                                 4.2.4.1.2 Mall I Owner may sublicense the above described license to Mall I Occupants, provided that (1) such sublicense provides that the sublicense can only use the Venetian Names and Venetian Logo within the scope of, and pursuant to, the above-described license, (2) Mall I Owner shall be responsible and liable for all breaches by any sublicensee of any such sublicense and (3) such sublicense gives H/C I Owner the right to enforce its terms and restrictions.
                                 4.2.4.1.3 If H/C I Owner shall determine that any advertising, marketing or promotional materials used or planned to be used by Mall I


 

73

Owner or any of its sublicensees violate the terms of the above-described license, Mall I Owner shall, immediately upon written notification from H/C I Owner of such determination, cease (or cause the applicable sublicensee to immediately cease) such advertising, marketing or promotion.
                                 4.2.4.1.4 Mall I Owner acknowledges that subject to the license granted herein, H/C I Owner owns all legal right, title and interest in and to the Venetian Names and the Venetian Logo. Mall I Owner agrees that any and all uses of the Venetian Names and Venetian Logo, and any goodwill resulting from such uses, shall inure solely to the benefit of H/C I Owner.
                    4.2.4.2 Mall I Owner, H/C I Owner and H/C II Owner hereby agree that:

74

Owner and H/C II Owner. Mall I Owner reserves the right to replace, alter or modify the Grand Canal Shoppes Logo (but in no event, so long as the Phase I Hotel/Casino is operating under one of the Venetian Names, shall Mall I Owner have the right to replace, alter or modify the Grand Canal Shoppes Name) at any time in its sole discretion, but upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to H/C I Owner and H/C II Owner.

76

H/C I Owner and H/C II Owner shall keep complete and accurate books and records, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, of the Hotel/Casino/Mall/SECC Common Area Charges and shall retain those books and records at their corporate offices. For a period of three (3) years after the end of each calendar year, and for so long thereafter as any dispute exists with respect thereto, H/C I


 

103

Owner and H/C II Owner shall preserve all such books and records, including any payroll and time records, vouchers, receipts, correspondence and memos pertaining to the Hotel/Casino/Mall/SECC Common Area Charges for such calendar year. Each of SECC Owner, Mall I Owner or Mall II Owner may, within three (3) years after the delivery of any Operating Expense Statement and Supporting Documentation, examine, at such Owner’s expense (unless otherwise provided herein), H/C I Owner’s and H/C II Owner’s books and records relating to the charges set forth on such Operating Expense Statement. Such examination shall be conducted during ordinary business hours upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ Notice, in a manner so as to reasonably minimize any interference with H/C I Owner’s and H/C II Owner’s business. If such examination discloses that H/C I Owner or H/C II Owner has overstated Mall I Owner’s actual Common Area Charge Obligations, Mall II Owner’s actual Common Area Charge Obligations or SECC Owner’s actual Common Area Charge Obligations, as the case may be, then H/C I Owner or H/C II Owner, as the case may be, shall promptly refund the overpayment to Mall I Owner, Mall II Owner or SECC Owner, as the case may be, and if the overpayment is more than three percent (3%) of the amount such Owner should have paid, H/C I Owner or H/C II Owner, as the case may be, shall also pay the reasonable, out-of-pocket costs of such Owner’s examination and interest on the overpayment at the Interest Rate from the date such Owner overpaid H/C I Owner or H/C II Owner, as the case may be, until such Owner receives such refund.
               5.1.3.6 With respect to Hotel/Casino/Mall/SECC Common Area Charges, any dispute between the Owners shall be resolved by determination of the Independent Expert in accordance with Section 14.16, which shall be the exclusive and


 

104

binding method for the resolution of any such dispute. Each of the Owners agrees to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the others any instruments that may be required to effectuate or facilitate the provisions of this Agreement relating to the matters set forth in this Section 5.1.3.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either the SECC or the H/C I Space is not open to the public but is in the process of having Permitted Maintenance therein, and the other of the SECC or the H/C I Space is not open for business to the public, then Mall I Owner

110

(or, in the case of the Electric Substation or the HVAC Plant, all Owners), (b) the Mortgagee of each of H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner, and (c) with respect to a Material Alteration affecting the Electric Substation and/or the HVAC Plant, SECC Owner and its Mortgagees, all of which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed if a Commercially Reasonable Owner would grant its consent and the same is not likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Either Owner may make (or allow any Tenant to make) any Alteration which singularly or together with related work is not a Material Alteration without the other Owner’s or any Mortgagee’s consent in accordance with the further provisions of this Article 5 and as is otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

In undertaking any activities described in, and performing its obligations under, this Article 5, each Owner shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference (including, without limitation, interference due to closure) with the maintenance, use and operation of the Phase I Mall, the Phase I Hotel/Casino, and the SECC.

               5.1.8.2 Before any Alterations are begun, the Owner performing or causing such Alteration to be performed shall obtain, at its own sole cost and expense, all licenses, permits, approvals and authorizations in connection with any such Alterations required by any Governmental Authorities.

Any Shared Insurance required under this Agreement to be carried by H/C I Owner shall name Trustee, the applicable Participating Owners and each of their respective Mortgagees as their interests may appear.


 

154

          10.2.3 Loss Payees. All Shared Insurance policies shall insure the interests of the applicable Participating Owners and their respective Mortgagees, and shall name Trustee as loss payee; provided that all Shared Insurance policies covering real or personal property or business interruption shall name Trustee as additional insured and First Loss Payee/Mortgagee in accordance with CP12 18 (06/95) or equivalent Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement. All non-Shared Insurance policies shall name only the applicable Owner and its respective Mortgagee as loss payees. In the event the HVAC Plant is insured under the blanket policy, such blanket policy may also contain loss payee provisions in favor of the owner of the HVAC Plant.
          10.2.4 Evidence of Insurance. Each Owner shall submit certificates of insurance of each policy required pursuant to the requirements of this Article 10. If any other Owner or any Mortgagee reasonably believes that the information contained in such certificates does not fully demonstrate that such Owner is maintaining insurance in compliance with the requirements of this Article 10, such Owner shall submit copies of the policies or redacted portions of such policies to the extent necessary to demonstrate such compliance. With respect to any Shared Insurance, H/C I Owner shall also provide all applicable Participating Owners with a copy of a policy endorsement or applicable excerpts from the policy verifying adding each such applicable Participating Owner as an additional insured, to the extent the certificates do not show the same.
          10.2.5 Trustee.
               10.2.5.1 Duties. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to any Owner as a consequence of performance by the Trustee hereunder except for any bad faith, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no


 

155

duties or obligations hereunder except as expressly set forth herein or in that certain Trustee Disbursement and Administration Agreement, dated as of November 14, 1997, by and among Phase I LLC; Mall I LLC’s predecessor-in-interest as Mall I Owner; The Bank of Nova Scotia, as Trustee; and certain other parties, shall be responsible only for the performance of such duties and obligations and shall not be required to take any action otherwise than in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof.
               10.2.5.2 Pledge of Collateral. Any amounts received by the Trustee with respect to any Shared Insurance proceeds shall be held by the Trustee in accounts for the benefit of the Mortgagees of the Lots affected and which are covered by such Shared Insurance (or if there is no such Mortgagee, the applicable Participating Owner). The Trustee shall establish separate accounts for such proceeds allocable to each respective Lot. At the request of the Participating Owner of a particular Lot, the account established with respect to such Lot will permit the investment of the funds therein in investments identified by said Participating Owner, subject to the reasonable approval of the Mortgagee of such Lot. Notwithstanding the foregoing:
                    10.2.5.2.1 any such account established for a particular Lot and all funds and investments therein and all proceeds thereof are hereby pledged, assigned, transferred and delivered by the respective Participating Owners to the Trustee for the benefit of the Mortgagees of such Lot, and such Participating Owners hereby grant to the Trustee for the benefit of such Mortgagees a continuing lien on and security interest in all of the foregoing as collateral security for the obligations under their respective loan documents, in the same priorities as apply to the liens which they hold with respect to such Lots; and


 

156

                    10.2.5.2.2 such Participating Owners shall take all steps reasonably requested by the Trustee or such Mortgagees in order to perfect said security interests.
               10.2.5.3 Casualty. In the event of any damage or destruction by fire or other casualty (each, a “Casualty”) covered by Shared Insurance for which the Trustee receives any proceeds, such proceeds shall be held in trust for the applicable Participating Owners and their respective Mortgagees until such time as they are distributed by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.4.3 hereof. In the event that, pursuant to Section 10.4.3, any Participating Owner or Mortgagee elects for any property Shared Insurance proceeds to be retained and held in Trust by Trustee, the following provisions shall apply with respect to the distribution of such proceeds:
                    10.2.5.3.1 Interim Payments. At the end of each month, or from time to time, as reasonably requested by the applicable Participating Owner, against such Participating Owner’s Independent Architect’s certificate in form and content reasonably satisfactory to the affected Mortgagees of each Owner’s Lot, the Trustee shall distribute to such Participating Owner (or at such Participating Owner’s direction, to its contractor or contractors) an amount which shall be that proportion of the total amount held in trust for such Participating Owner which 90% (or such greater amount as may be reasonably agreed to by the applicable Participating Owner(s) and their Mortgagees) of the payments to be made to the contractors or materialmen for work done, material supplied and services rendered during each month or other period bears to the total contract price for such contractors or materialmen; provided that at the time of any such progress payment (a) there are no liens against the property by reason of such work which have not


 

157

been bonded or insured over, and (b) to the extent the aggregate amount of any insurance proceeds shall be less than the amount necessary to restore the affected property, the Party entitled to such proceeds has paid such deficiency out of other funds.
                    10.2.5.3.2 Final Payment. At the completion of the applicable work, the balance of such proceeds required to complete the payment of such work shall be paid to the applicable Participating Owner (or, if required by its loan documents, its Mortgagee for payment to the applicable contractors or materialmen) entitled to such proceeds, or its contractor or contractors, provided that at the time of such payment (a) there are no liens against the property by reason of such work which have not been bonded or insured over, and with respect to the time of payment of any balance remaining to be paid at the completion of the work the period within which a lien may be filed has expired, or proof has been submitted that all costs of work theretofore incurred have been paid, and (b) the applicable Participating Owner’s Independent Architect shall certify in a certificate, the form and content of which is reasonably satisfactory to the affected Mortgagee, that all required work is completed and proper and of a quality and class of the original work and in accordance with the Plans.
                    10.2.5.3.3 Excess Proceeds. Any property Shared Insurance proceeds not required to be applied to pay for the costs of rebuilding under Article 11 hereof, shall be paid by the Trustee to the applicable Participating Owner entitled to such excess proceeds (or, if required by its loan documents, its Mortgagee).
          10.2.6 Mortgagees.
               10.2.6.1 Approval of Certain Insurance. Unless otherwise permitted under the applicable Owner’s loan documents, with respect to the insurance set


 

158

forth in Section 10.1.2.1 hereof, deductibles and/or self-insured retention in excess of $500,000 shall be subject to review and approval by the applicable Mortgagee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided a Commercially Reasonable Owner of the applicable property would so approve and same would not have a Material Adverse Effect on such property, Owner or Mortgagee. Without limiting anything set forth in this Article 10, each applicable Mortgagee shall also have the approval rights set forth in Section 10.1.2.4, Section 11.2 and Section 11.1.3 hereof, if applicable.
               10.2.6.2 Right to Cure. On or before December 30th of each year during the Term or upon request (but not more than once in any twelve (12) month period), H/C I Owner shall furnish to Trustee and each other Owner, with a copy for each Mortgagee, a certificate signed by an officer of H/C I Owner or an authorized insurance representative of H/C I Owner, showing the insurance then maintained by or on behalf of H/C I Owner under this Article 10 and stating that such insurance complies in all material aspects with the terms hereof, together with a statement from the applicable insurance companies of the premiums then due, if any. If at any time the insurance required to be maintained by H/C I Owner under this Article 10 shall be reduced or cease to be maintained (other than as a result of any other Owner electing to be an Opting-Out Owner with respect thereto), then (without limiting the rights of Trustee and/or any Mortgagee hereunder in respect of any event of default which arises as a result of such failure), Trustee at the direction of any of the Mortgagees may, but shall not be obligated to, maintain the insurance required hereby and, in such event, H/C I Owner shall reimburse


 

159

Trustee and/or the applicable Mortgagees upon demand for the cost thereof together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate.
               10.2.6.2.1 Mortgagee Consent to Release of Proceeds. If all or any material portion of the Integrated Resort shall be damaged or destroyed in whole or in part by Casualty, the Owner of the property incurring the loss shall notify all Mortgagee(s) within ten (10) Business Days of the occurrence of such Casualty. Each affected Mortgagee shall permit insurance proceeds with respect to any Casualty to be applied to restoration of buildings and/or other improvements on or in the affected Lot in accordance with the provisions of this Article 10 and Article 11, provided that such affected Mortgagee shall have received on or before ninety (90) days after the date of the Casualty in question a certificate from an Independent Expert certifying that (a) such Casualty can be restored within three (3) years after the date of delivery of such certificate and (b) the aggregate amount of insurance proceeds payable in connection with such Casualty (together with any other funds committed by the affected Owners to be applied to such restoration, and provided that the Owner of the Lot as to which such Mortgagee has a security interest in shall be deemed to have committed any funds needed to cover the costs of such restoration) shall be sufficient to finance the anticipated cost (including scheduled debt service payments through the anticipated date of completion of the restoration) of such restoration as set forth in such certificate. If the condition set forth in the preceding clause (a) or the condition set forth in the preceding clause (b) cannot be satisfied with respect to a particular Lot, any affected Mortgagee shall be paid its equitable share of the applicable insurance proceeds (as determined by an Independent Expert and subject to


 

160

Section 10.4.2.1 and Section 10.4.2.2), to be applied in accordance with the provisions of its loan documents.
          10.2.7 Mutual Release; Waiver of Subrogation. Each Party hereby releases and waives for itself, and to the extent legally possible for it to do so, on behalf of its insurer, each of the other Parties and their officers, directors, agents, members, partners, servants and employees from liability for any loss or damage to any or all property (including any resulting loss of time element including business interruption, rents or extra expense) located in or on the H/C I Space, the H/C II Space, the Mall I Space, the Mall II Space, the SECC Land and/or any improvements located in or on any of the foregoing, which loss or damage is of the type said Party is required to insure against by this Article 10, irrespective of any negligence on the part of the released Party which may have contributed to or caused such loss or damage. Each Party covenants that it will, if generally available in the insurance industry, obtain for the benefit of each such released Party a waiver of any right of subrogation which the insurer of such Party may acquire against any such Party by virtue of the payment of any such loss covered by such insurance.
          10.2.8 Insurance Not Commercially Available. If any insurance (including the limits, coverages, coinsurance waiver or deductibles thereof) required to be maintained under this Article 10, other than insurance required to be maintained by law, shall not be Commercially Available, the applicable Owners and their respective Mortgagees shall not unreasonably withhold their consent to waive such requirement to the extent maintenance thereof is not so available; provided (a) the Owner normally responsible for maintaining such insurance shall first request any such waiver in writing,


 

161

which request shall be accompanied by written reports in form and content and prepared by an Independent insurance advisor of recognized national standing reasonably acceptable to the other Owners certifying that such insurance is not reasonably available (e.g. obtainable in the insurance marketplace at costs not to exceed 150% of the amount of the prior premiums) and commercially feasible in the commercial insurance market for property of a similar type (collectively, “Commercially Available”) (and, in any case where the required amount is not so available, certifying as to the maximum amount which is so available) and setting forth the basis for such conclusions, (b) at any time after the granting of any such waiver, the applicable Owners shall furnish to the other Owners within fifteen (15) days after request by the other Owners, updates of the prior reports reasonably acceptable to such other Owners from such insurance advisor reaffirming such conclusion, and (c) any such waiver shall be effective only so long as such insurance shall not be Commercially Available, it being understood that the failure of the applicable Owners to timely furnish any such updated report after any such request shall be conclusive evidence that such waiver is no longer effective. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article 10, any failure to maintain insurance coverage in accordance with any provision of this Article 10 due to such insurance being commercially unavailable shall not constitute a default hereunder and the Owner normally responsible for maintaining such insurance shall be in full compliance with such provisions so long as such Owner has complied with the provisions of this Section 10.2.8.
          10.2.9 Policies on “claims-made” basis. If any policy is written on a “claims-made” basis and such policy is not to be renewed or the retroactive date of such policy is to be changed, the applicable Owner shall obtain prior to the expiration date or


 

162

date change of such policy the broadest basic and supplemental extended reporting period coverage reasonably available in the commercial insurance market for each such policy and shall promptly provide the other Owners with proof that such coverage has been obtained.
          10.2.10 Termination. Each policy required to be maintained under this Article 10 shall provide that such insurance may not be canceled, terminated or materially changed for any reason whatsoever, unless the insurance carrier delivers thirty (30) days (or ten (10) days in connection with a notice of nonpayment of premium) notice of such cancellation, termination or material change to the Owners and their Mortgagees and Trustee.
     Section 10.3 Non-Shared Insurance Premiums, Limit and Deductible Sharing and Loss Adjustment Process.
          10.3.1 Premiums. Each Owner’s Insurance Share of the premiums of any non-Shared Insurance purchased by such Owner solely for its own benefit (including, without limitation, any insurance set forth in Section 10.1.2 or Section 10.1.4 hereof) shall be one hundred percent (100%), and such Owner shall bear all of the costs of such insurance. Such Owner shall pay all such costs on or before the date due.
          10.3.2 Limit and Deductible Sharing. With respect to any non-Shared Insurance purchased by any Owner for its own benefit, there shall not be any loss limit or deductible sharing. Any such Owner shall be entitled to one hundred percent (100%) of all proceeds and benefits with respect to any such insurance, subject to any rights of its Mortgagees under its loan documents.


 

163

          10.3.3 Loss Adjustment. With respect to any non-Shared Insurance purchased by any Owner for its own benefit, the applicable Owner shall have sole control over any loss adjustment process, subject to any rights of its Mortgagees under its loan documents. If requested by any such Owner, the other Owners shall reasonably cooperate with and assist such Owner in adjusting any such loss (at the requesting Owner’s expense). In the event that the Trustee or any other Owner or any of their respective Mortgagees shall receive proceeds relating to any non-Shared Insurance, such amount shall be promptly paid over as the applicable Owner shall direct. Any such property non-Shared Insurance proceeds (excluding the proceeds of any business interruption, or use and occupancy insurance) shall be used with all reasonable diligence by the applicable Owner and/or its Mortgagee for rebuilding, repairing or otherwise reconstructing, to the extent required pursuant to the provisions of Article 11.
     Section 10.4 Shared Insurance Premiums, Limit and Deductible Sharing and Loss Adjustment Process.
          10.4.1 Insurance Share. Each Owner’s Insurance Share with respect to any Shared Insurance in which such Owner is participating shall be determined as follows:
               10.4.1.1 Allocation. The premiums with respect to any Shared Insurance shall be allocated among the applicable Participating Owners based on the percentage of total insured values relative to such Shared Insurance, as such values are determined by the insurance carrier providing the Shared Insurance or applicable insurance broker on a commercially reasonable basis and in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 10.4.1 (provided, however, that in the event any Participating Owner disagrees with such allocation, such Participating Owner may submit the same to an


 

164

Independent Expert for determination). Each Participating Owner who is covered by such Shared Insurance agrees to promptly (and in no event later than 120 days prior to the expiration of each relevant insurance policy) provide to H/C I Owner’s insurance companies, consultants, brokers and agents (with a copy to the other Participating Owners who are sharing in such Shared Insurance) any reasonable information requested by any of such persons and entities in connection with (a) the procurement or maintenance of such Shared Insurance and (b) the calculation of each Participating Owner’s Insurance Share.
                    10.4.1.1.1 Factors. In determining any such allocation of premiums, the insurance carrier providing the Shared Insurance or applicable insurance broker shall be instructed as follows: (a) premiums with respect to insurance for any shared perimeters shall be allocated equally to each Participating Owner abutting such shared perimeter, (b) if applicable, the space demised pursuant to that certain Casino Level Restaurant/Retail Master Lease (the “Phase I Casino Level Leased Space”) dated May 17, 2004 (as the same has been and may hereafter be amended), by and between H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner (the “Phase I Casino Level Master Lease”) shall be considered as part of the Mall I Space for purposes of determining any Mall I Owner’s Insurance Share and any H/C I Owner’s Insurance Share, and (c) if applicable, the space demised pursuant to that certain Casino Level Restaurant/Retail Master Lease (the “Phase II Casino Level Leased Space”) of even date herewith (as the same may hereafter be amended), by and between H/C II Owner and Mall II LLC (the “Phase II Casino Level Master Lease”) shall be considered as part of the Mall II Space for purposes of determining any Mall II Owner’s Insurance Share and any H/C II Owner’s Insurance Share.


 

165

                    10.4.1.1.2 Changes in Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if at any time there is a material addition or deletion to any applicable Participating Owner’s covered property which is then subject to any Shared Insurance, any applicable Insurance Shares shall be appropriately adjusted by mutual agreement of the applicable Owners, and (b) if Mall I Owner or Mall II Owner (for purposes of this clause (b) only, the “Electing Owner”) purchases Additional Coverage that, with respect to its Property, is “primary to” rather than “in excess of” any Shared Insurance coverage with respect to which it is a Participating Owner, then (i) the Electing Owner’s Insurance Share with respect to such Shared Insurance coverage shall be equitably reduced, each other Participating Owner’s Insurance Share with respect to such Shared Insurance coverage shall be equitably increased, and (ii) any resulting rebate in the cost of obtaining and maintaining such Shared Insurance coverage shall be for the benefit of the Electing Owner.
                    10.4.1.1.3 Payment of Shared Insurance Costs. Within ten (10) Business Days of receipt from an invoice from H/C I Owner with respect to any Shared Insurance in which the applicable Participating Owner is participating (which invoice shall include the underlying invoice from the applicable insurance carrier or broker along with the applicable premium allocation), each applicable Participating Owner shall pay its Insurance Share of such Shared Insurance to H/C I Owner. H/C I Owner shall pay the costs of any such Shared Insurance prior to the date the same are due. If any applicable Participating Owner shall fail to make any payment required to be made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.4.1.1.3, H/C I Owner shall still pay such costs in full prior to the date the same are due, and the non-paying Participating Owner shall reimburse H/C I Owner, on demand therefor, for the amount advanced by H/C I Owner on such non-


 

166

paying Participating Owner’s behalf, with interest thereon for the period from such demand to such reimbursement at the Interest Rate. In the event of any dispute as to such amount, the Participating Owner shall promptly pay the non-disputed portion thereof, and provide in writing the basis of such dispute, which the Participating Owners shall endeavor to resolve in good faith.
                    10.4.1.1.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owners acknowledge and confirm that (i) the allocations among the Owners of the costs of the current policies of insurance which expire on April 12, 2008 have previously been agreed to and paid in full, and (ii)  the insurance carrier providing the Shared Insurance or applicable insurance broker shall determine the aggregate Insurance Share of H/C I Owner, H/C II Owner and SECC Owner, and such Owners shall allocate such aggregate Insurance Share amongst themselves as they see fit.
          10.4.2 Loss Limits and Deductibles. Except as hereinafter set forth, the proceeds, loss limits and deductibles with respect to any Shared Insurance shall be based on the percentage each applicable Participating Owner’s insured loss value bears to the total loss incurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a terrorism loss or a loss that exceeds the limits available covered by Shared Insurance, the proceeds, loss limits and/or deductibles shall be as follows:
               10.4.2.1 Terrorism. Any Shared Insurance proceeds (including proceeds in connection with “business interruption” or similar coverage) payable in connection with a Casualty that is the result of a terrorist act affecting all or any portion of the Phase I Mall, the Phase I Hotel/Casino or the SECC shall be allocated equitably to each applicable Participating Owner across each of such properties based on the percentage each


 

167

applicable Participating Owner’s insured loss value bears to the total loss incurred; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, such proceeds shall be paid (a) first, if Mall I Owner is a Participating Owner in such Shared Insurance, to the Mortgagee of Mall I Owner, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $120,000,000, (ii) the then-outstanding aggregate principal amount of indebtedness owed to Mall I Owner’s Mortgagees, (iii) the sum of (x) the cost of restoring the Phase I Mall and (y) rental income lost by Mall I Owner as a result of such Casualty, to the extent such lost income is covered by the applicable insurance policy or policies and (iv) the total amount of such insurance proceeds, and (b) second, if SECC Owner is a Participating Owner in such Shared Insurance, to the Mortgagee of SECC Owner, in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (i) $141,000,000, (ii) the then-outstanding aggregate principal amount of indebtedness owed to SECC Owner’s Mortgagees, (iii) the sum of (x) the cost of restoring the SECC and (y) income lost by SECC Owner as a result of such casualty, to the extent such lost income is covered by the applicable insurance policy or policies and (iv) the total amount of such proceeds.
               10.4.2.2 Loss In Excess of Insurance Limit. If there is an insured loss in excess of the limit of insurance available with respect to any property covered by a Shared Insurance policy maintained under this Article 10, each applicable Participating Owner’s percentage share of the limit and deductible applicable to, and proceeds payable under, such policy shall (subject to the provisions of Section 10.4.2.1) be calculated based on the relative losses (with respect to property covered by such Shared Insurance) suffered by each Participating Owner.


 

168

          10.4.3 Loss Adjustment. In case of any Casualty with respect to the Integrated Resort or any portion thereof which is covered by Shared Insurance, the applicable Participating Owners and such Owners’ Mortgagees (to the extent required under the applicable loan documents) shall jointly settle, compromise and adjust any claim in good faith. Trustee shall pay over to the applicable Participating Owners (or any Participating Owner’s Mortgagee if, (i) at the time, there is an event of default under such Mortgagee’s loan documents, or (ii) the same is required by such Mortgagee’s loan documents) the applicable insurance proceeds received by Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof; provided, however, that at the election of any Participating Owner or any Mortgagee, all such property Shared Insurance proceeds shall be retained and held in trust by Trustee and distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2.5.3 hereof. Such Participating Owners and/or Mortgagees shall allocate such Shared Insurance proceeds in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.4 and any such property Shared Insurance proceeds (excluding the proceeds of any business interruption, or use and occupancy insurance) shall be used with all reasonable diligence by the Party entitled to such proceeds under the provisions of this Agreement for rebuilding, repairing or otherwise reconstructing, to the extent required pursuant to the provisions of Article 11.
          10.4.4 Disputes. If the applicable Participating Owners and/or their respective Mortgagees (to the extent required under any applicable loan documents) cannot agree as to any decision regarding any actual or proposed adjustment, settlement or compromise with respect to any Shared Insurance within ninety (90) days after the need for any such decision first arises, then any applicable Participating Owner and/or their respective Mortgagees shall have the right to submit the decision in question to an


 

169

Independent Expert selected by such Participating Owners and/or their respective Mortgagees pursuant to Section 14.16 hereof.
     Section 10.5 Insurance Requirements Review. At the request of any Party, but not more frequently than once every three (3) years and not earlier than the third (3rd) anniversary of the date hereof, H/C I Owner shall designate an Independent insurance consultant (approved by Mall I Owner and Mall II Owner, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to review the insurance requirements of the Integrated Resort and prepare a report (the “Insurance Report”) (the costs of which Insurance Report shall be allocated 70% to H/C I Owner and H/C II Owner, 15% to Mall I Owner and 15% Mall II Owner) setting out its recommendations relating to the types and amounts of the insurance coverages for the Integrated Resort. Prior to finalization, the report shall be submitted in draft form to each Owner for comment. H/C I Owner shall submit the Insurance Report to the other Owners and Mortgagees, which, upon approval by all Owners and (to the extent required under any Owner’s loan documents) their respective Mortgagees (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided a Commercially Reasonable Owner of the applicable property would so consent and same would not have a Material Adverse Effect on such property, Owner or Mortgagee) shall, to the extent the recommendations differ from the types and amounts of coverages and other covenants set forth in this Article 10, amend and supersede the applicable provisions of this Article 10; provided, however, that no amendment shall eliminate or restrict any Owner’s right to become an Opting-Out Owner.
     Section 10.6 Insurance to Be Carried By Tenants. H/C I Owner, H/C II Owner, Mall I Owner and Mall II Owner shall require in their Leases with Tenants, that all Tenants

180

award (other than with respect to the SECC or the SECC Land) in excess of $1,500,000 shall be paid to the Trustee to be held and disbursed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.4.3.

Such relevant Owners shall, in all of their discussions and negotiations with the condemning authority, argue for the awarding of separate Taking proceeds payable to each in accordance with the foregoing.

In such event, however, the affected Party shall be entitled to appear, claim, prove and receive the entire award in connection with such temporary taking. If such temporary use or occupancy terminates prior to the Expiration Date, the affected Party, at its own expense, shall restore its premises as nearly as possible to its condition prior to the condemnation or taking.

Trustee shall pay over to such Owners and/or Mortgagees the applicable proceeds of the Taking upon receipt therefor by Trustee and such Persons shall use such proceeds to perform a restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Article 12.
     Section 12.9 Mortgagee Consent to Release of Condemnation Award Proceeds. If all or any material portion of the Phase I Hotel/Casino, the Phase I Mall, the Phase II Hotel/Casino or the Phase II Mall shall be taken pursuant to a Taking, the Owner of the property incurring the loss shall notify all Mortgagee(s) within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice of such Taking. Each affected Mortgagee shall permit condemnation award proceeds with respect to any Taking to be applied to restoration of buildings and/or


 

182

other improvements on or in the affected Lot in accordance with the provisions of this Article 12; provided that such affected Mortgagee shall have received on or before ninety (90) days after the date such Mortgagee’s receipt of the notice described above a certificate from an Independent Expert certifying that (x) any restoration of the affected property required as a consequence of such Taking can be completed within one (1) year after the date of delivery of such certificate and (y) the amount of condemnation award proceeds payable in connection with such Taking (together with any other funds committed by the affected Owner to be applied to such restoration) shall be sufficient to finance the anticipated cost (including scheduled debt service payments through the anticipated date of completion of the restoration) of such restoration as set forth in such certificate. If both of the conditions set forth in the preceding (x) and (y) cannot be satisfied with respect to a particular Lot, any affected Mortgagee shall be paid its equitable share as determined by the Independent Expert of condemnation award proceeds to be applied in accordance with the provisions of its Mortgage and any other loan documents entered into in connection with such Mortgage.

Any Party may defer compliance with any such Legal Requirements if it shall contest by appropriate proceedings in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1.2 below, prosecuted diligently and in good-faith, the legality or applicability thereof, provided that such deference does not materially adversely interfere with any other Party’s

184

but shall not be required to, pay or cause to be discharged or bonded against) any such cost, and all such interest, fines and penalties, notwithstanding such contest, if in the reasonable opinion of any such Mortgagee such Owner’s Lot or any part thereof or interest therein, is in danger of being, or is reasonably likely to be (regardless of whether the sale, forfeiture, foreclosure, termination, cancellation or loss is imminent), sold, forfeited, foreclosed, terminated, cancelled or lost.

The Owners agree that upon the transfer of fee title (or leasehold title in the case of the Walgreens’ Airspace) to any of the Lots, the deed evidencing such transfer shall be expressly subject to the provisions of this Agreement which shall be incorporated therein by reference.
     Section 14.2 No Merger. There shall be no merger of the easements, rights, interests or estates burdening any property pursuant to this Agreement with the fee estate of such property by reason of the fact that the same Person may acquire or hold, directly or indirectly, any such easements, rights, interests or estates and such fee estate, and no merger shall occur unless and until all Persons having an interest in any such easements, rights, interests or estates and such fee estate shall join in a written instrument effecting such merger.
     Section 14.3 Transfers.
          14.3.1 If any of H/C I Owner, H/C II Owner, Mall I Owner, Mall II Owner or SECC Owner shall transfer to any individual, partnership, firm, association, limited liability company, trust or corporation, or any other form of business or government entity (in any case, a “Person” and, after such transfer, an “Interest Holder”) any of the following partial interests, such Interest Holder shall be treated, together with all similar Interest Holders, as a single Party for purposes of this Agreement:
               14.3.1.1 Any partial, subdivided interest (other than ownership of a commercial condominium unit and related undivided interest in common elements or a


 

187

commercial subdivision) in the Phase I Land, Phase II Land or the improvements thereon (in the case of H/C I Owner, H/C II Owner, Mall I Owner or Mall II Owner) or the SECC Land (in the case of SECC Owner) (a “Subdivided Interest Holder”), provided that this clause (i) shall not apply to any transfer of the Phase I Land, Phase II Land and/or any improvements thereon to H/C I Owner, H/C II Owner, Mall I Owner or Mall II Owner contemplated by this Agreement; or
               14.3.1.2 Any partial, undivided interest in all of the land or improvements owned by it, such as may be held by joint tenancy or tenancy-in-common or as a life estate or partnership interests in a partnership (or a membership interests in a limited liability company) holding all of the interests in such property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subdivided Interest Holders may be treated as separate Interest Holders provided that at no time shall there be more than ten (10) such separate Subdivided Interest Holders with respect to either the Phase I Land, Phase II Land or the SECC Land, as applicable.
          14.3.2 A Mortgagee shall not be deemed to be an Interest Holder unless such Mortgagee is also a Transferee.

188

apply to stockholders and bondholders of a corporate Party, the members of a limited liability company or partners of a partnership.

189

pursuant to the provisions of this Section 14.3, the designation of a Party’s Agent shall remain irrevocable.
          14.3.4 Restrictions on Phase I Mall Sales.
          Mall I Owner covenants and agrees, for the benefit of H/C I Owner only, as follows:
               14.3.4.1 Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, but subject to the provisions of Section 14.3.4.3 below, no Phase I Mall Sale may be consummated unless H/C I Owner is given not less than thirty (30) days written notice of such contemplated transaction and unless H/C I Owner consents to such transaction, which consent may be withheld in H/C I Owner’s sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that such consent shall not be required (but such prior written notice shall still be required) if (x) neither the transferee nor any Affiliate thereof is a Competitor, (y) the transferee (or an Affiliate thereof) owns or manages not less than ten million (10,000,000) square feet of retail space in the United States and (z) such Phase I Mall Sale would not, in the good-faith judgment of H/C I Owner, jeopardize any of H/C I Owner’s Gaming Licenses. In all events, neither Mall I Owner nor any Affiliate thereof shall ever be a Competitor, whether as the result of a Phase I Mall Sale or otherwise, unless H/C I Owners consents with respect thereto. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Phase I Casino Level Master Lease, the tenant under the Phase I Casino Level Master Lease must always be Mall I Owner or an Affiliate thereof.
               14.3.4.2 Except as described in Section 14.3.4.3 below, H/C I Owner shall have a right of first offer to consummate any Phase I Mall Sale in accordance with and subject to the following procedures, and no Phase I Mall Sale shall occur except in accordance with and subject to such procedures:


 

190

                    14.3.4.2.1 If Mall I Owner (which, for purposes of this Section 14.3.4, shall include any owner of a direct or indirect equity or beneficial ownership interest in Mall I Owner) desires to either (x) sell, assign or otherwise transfer the Mall I Space or Phase I Mall or any portion of either or any such direct or indirect equity or beneficial ownership interests (any such asset or interest, including the entire Mall I Space and Phase I Mall, a “Mall I Asset”), or (y) lease all or substantially all of the Mall I Space or Phase I Mall to one Person or a group of Affiliated Persons (any such sale, assignment, transfer or lease, a “Phase I Mall Sale”), Mall I Owner must make a written offer to sell such Mall I Asset to H/C I Owner, which offer must include the proposed purchase price (or proposed rental payments, in the case of a lease) and all other material terms of the proposed transaction. Upon receipt of such notice, H/C I Owner shall have thirty (30) days in which to notify Mall I Owner that it has elected to purchase such Mall I Asset upon the terms of the offer made to H/C I Owner.
                    14.3.4.2.2 In the event that H/C I Owner accepts Mall I Owner’s offer within said thirty (30) day period, the parties shall negotiate in good-faith for the sixty (60) day period following such acceptance the terms and provisions of a definitive binding purchase agreement (or lease agreement, if applicable) in connection therewith. In the event that notwithstanding such good faith negotiation, no definitive binding written purchase agreement or lease agreement is entered into between the parties within said sixty (60) day period, Mall I Owner may then, without having to once again comply with the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.3.4.2, either:
                         14.3.4.2.2.1 Market the applicable Mall I Asset and conclude the applicable Phase I Mall Sale for a purchase price not less

than ninety-five percent (95%) of the purchase price offered to H/C I Owner (or for rental payments having a present value (assuming a 6% annual discount rate) of not less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the rental payments offered to H/C I Owner, in the case of a lease) and otherwise upon terms not materially less advantageous to Mall I Owner than the terms offered to H/C I Owner, but only if such transaction is consummated, or the definitive binding written purchase agreement or lease agreement with respect thereto is entered into, no later than six (6) months after the expiration of said sixty (60) day period; or
               14.3.4.2.2.2 In the event Mall I Owner desires to sell such Mall I Asset for a purchase price which is less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the purchase price offered to H/C I Owner (or for rental payments having a present value (assuming a 6% annual discount rate) of less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the rental payments offered to H/C I Owner, in the case of a lease) or otherwise on terms materially less advantageous to Mall I Owner than the terms offered to H/C I Owner, provide H/C I Owner (no later than six (6) months after the expiration of said sixty (60) day period) with written notice of the terms of the offer from a third-party that Mall I Owner intends to accept (which notice must include a copy of the proposed definitive binding written purchase agreement or lease agreement that Mall I Owner intends to execute). In such event, H/C I Owner shall have ten (10) Business Days in which to notify Mall I Owner that H/C I Owner has elected to purchase such Mall I Asset upon the terms of the offer presented to H/C I Owner and five (5) days following the delivery of such notice to execute such a definitive written binding purchase agreement or lease agreement.


 

192

If H/C I Owner fails to provide such notice within such ten (10) Business Day period or thereafter fails to enter into a definitive written binding purchase agreement or lease agreement within such five (5) day period, Mall I Owner may, without having to once again comply with the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.3.4.2, accept such third-party offer and consummate the applicable Phase I Mall Sale with such third–party on terms materially consistent with such offer.
               14.3.4.2.3 In the event H/C I Owner rejects an offer made by Mall I Owner pursuant to Section 14.3.4.2.1, Mall I Owner may, without once again complying with the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.3.4.2, consummate the applicable Phase I Mall Sale with a third party for a purchase price greater than or equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the purchase price offered to H/C I Owner (or for rental payments having a present value (assuming a 6% annual discount rate) of not less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the rental payments offered to H/C I Owner, in the case of a lease), and otherwise on terms not materially less advantageous to Mall I Owner than the terms offered to H/C I Owner, but only if such sale is consummated, or the definitive binding written purchase agreement or lease agreement with respect thereto is entered into, no later than six (6) months after the date H/C I Owner rejected Mall I Owner’s offer.
               14.3.4.2.4 In the event that any Phase I Mall Sale is intended to be consummated as part of a portfolio sale of other properties and/or interests, Mall I Owner shall cause a fair and reasonable portion of the aggregate purchase price for such portfolio sale to be allocated to such Phase I Mall Sale for all purposes of this Section 14.3.4.2.


 

193

               14.3.4.3 Mall I Owner acknowledges and confirms that subject to the next sentence, both the provisions of Section 14.3.4.1 above and Section 14.3.4.2 above, apply with respect to any Phase I Mall Sale, so that compliance with one set of provisions does not obviate or nullify in any way the requirement that the other set of provisions be complied with. However, the provisions of Sections 14.3.4.1 and 14.3.4.2 above shall not apply to (a) sales or other transfers or issuances of direct or indirect equity or beneficial ownership interests that do not, pursuant to one transaction or a series of related or unrelated transactions, exceed 66 2/3% of the beneficial interests in Mall I Owner and that do not result in a change in the Person or Persons that ultimately “control” Mall I Owner (as the term “control” is used in the definition of Affiliate), (b) transfers to Affiliates, (c) any Phase I Mall Sale pursuant to a judgment of foreclosure of a Mortgage, or any conveyance(s) of the Mall I Space and/or Phase I Mall to any Mall I Mortgagee or any Affiliate thereof in connection with a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction (any such foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof, “Phase I Mall Foreclosure Sale”), and, if the purchaser or transferee in a Phase I Mall Foreclosure Sale is a Mall I Mortgagee or any Affiliate thereof, any subsequent Phase I Mall Sales by such Mortgagee or Affiliate or any of its direct or indirect equity holders or beneficial owners, provided that the right of first offer shall thereafter apply (subject to clauses (a) – (e) of this sentence) to any Phase I Mall Sales in which the seller or transferor is not any of such parties, (d) any transfers or issuances of stock of General Growth Properties, Inc. or its corporate successor or any other company with stock publicly traded on the American Stock Exchange or New York Stock Exchange or a similar stock exchange of another nation or (e) any transfers or issuances of partnership interests in GGP Limited Partnership.


 

194

               14.3.4.4 By joining in the execution of this Agreement, certain holders of direct and indirect equity and beneficial ownership interests in Mall I Owner agree, on behalf of themselves and their successors and assigns, to be bound by the provisions of this Section 14.3.4. Each holder of such ownership interests in Mall I Owner shall, as a condition to any sale of its interest, obtain a written agreement from its Transferee, for the benefit of H/C I Owner, agreeing to be bound by the provisions of Section 14.3.4, and shall deliver a copy of such written agreement to H/C I Owner.
               14.3.4.5 Any Phase I Mall Sale that is made in violation of this Section 14.3.4 shall be void ab initio.
               14.3.4.6 In the event that any Mall I Mortgagee delivers a written notice of any default or event of default under its mortgage encumbering the Mall I Space (a “Mall I Mortgage”) or that the outstanding principal under the note or notes secured by such Mall I Mortgage has become due (whether by acceleration or for any other reason) (any such notice, a “Mall I Mortgage Default Notice”), the Mall I Mortgagee shall, simultaneously with the delivery of such notice to Mall I Owner, deliver a copy thereof to H/C I Owner. In such event, and so long as at the time such notice is delivered H/C I Owner satisfies the Financial Covenant (as defined below), H/C I Owner shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make any payment or take any other action necessary to cure any default or event of default that is susceptible to cure by H/C I Owner (a “Curable Default”), and the applicable Mall I Mortgagee shall be obligated to accept such cure as if the payment was made or the action was taken by Mall I Owner, provided that (x) H/C I Owner shall not be entitled to cure more than three (3) interest payment defaults in any twelve (12) month period and (y) if, at any time after a Mall I Mortgage Default Notice is


 

195
given but before the applicable Curable Default is cured, the Financial Covenant is no longer satisfied, H/C I Owner’s cure right with respect to such Curable Default shall terminate. H/C I Owner shall have the same cure period granted to Mall I Owner under the Mall I Mortgage and related loan documents (collectively, including the Mall I Mortgage, the “Mall I Loan Documents”), plus (A) with respect to the payment of interest or principal (other than accelerated principal) required by the Mall I Loan Documents, three (3) Business Days (and in all events not less than three (3) Business Days after H/C I Owner’s receipt of the applicable Mall I Mortgage Default Notice), (B) with respect to the payment of any other amounts under the Mall I Loan Documents, five (5) Business Days (and in all events not less than five (5) Business Days after H/C I Owner’s receipt of the applicable Mall I Mortgage Default Notice), and (C) with respect to any Curable Default other than a failure to make a payment required by the Mall I Loan Documents, and provided (1) H/C I Owner delivers written notice to Mall I Mortgagee of its intention to cure such default within five (5) Business Days after H/C I Owner’s receipt of the applicable Mall I Mortgage Default Notice and (2) H/C I Owner is diligently proceeding to cure such default, such additional time (but not to exceed one hundred and twenty (120) days in the aggregate) as is reasonably necessary for H/C I Owner to take or effectuate such actions necessary to cure such default. After any Mall I Mortgage Default Notice is given, the applicable Mortgagee shall give H/C I Owner written notice if the default or event of default is subsequently cured (other than by H/C I Owner) or acceleration is revoked.
               14.3.4.7 In the event the entire principal sum secured by any Mall I Mortgage becomes immediately due and payable, whether by acceleration or for any


 

196

other reason, the Mall I Mortgagee shall promptly give H/C I Owner written notice of such event (such notice, the “Acceleration Notice”), and so long as at the time such notice is given H/C I Owner satisfies the Financial Covenant, H/C I Owner shall have the option (the “Buy-Out Option”) to purchase Mall I Mortgagee’s interest in the Mall I Loan Documents and the loan evidenced thereby (the “Mall I Loan”) at a price equal to the Buy-Out Option Purchase Price (as defined below), provided that H/C I Owner shall not have such option unless (x) it gives written notice to Mall I Mortgagee of its election to exercise such option no later than sixty (60) days after the Acceleration Notice was given and (y) at the time H/C I Owner gives such notice it satisfies the Financial Covenant. If H/C I Owner elects to exercise such option, H/C I Owner shall be obligated to purchase, and Mall I Mortgagee shall be obligated to sell, the Mall I Loan and the Mall I Loan Documents for the Buy-Out Option Purchase Price on a date not less than five (5) Business Days, nor more than ten (10) Business Days, after H/C I Owner delivers its written notice to Mall I Mortgagee of such election, such date to be selected by Mall I Mortgagee). Upon payment by H/C I Owner to Mall I Mortgagee of the Buy-Out Option Purchase Price on the applicable date, the Mall I Mortgagee shall, pursuant to assignment documents that contain no representations or warranties other than a representation that the Mall I Mortgagee owns the Mall I Loan Documents free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, and that are otherwise reasonably satisfactory to H/C I Owner and Mall I Mortgagee, assign to H/C I Owner (or any designee thereof) the Mall I Mortgage and the other Mall I Loan Documents. Said assignment shall not relieve Mall I Owner of any of Mall I Owner’s defaults and liabilities under said loan. The Buy-Out Option Purchase Price shall be calculated by the Mall I Mortgagee (or its servicer) three (3) Business Days prior to the


 

197

date set for purchase and shall, absent manifest error, be binding upon Mall I Mortgagee and H/C I Owner.
               14.3.4.8 Mall I Owner covenants and agrees that it will cause each Mall I Mortgage to include or cross-reference the provisions of Sections 14.3.4.6 and 14.3.4.7, and to make H/C I Owner a third party beneficiary of such inclusion or cross-reference, but all Mall I Mortgagees shall be bound by such provisions even if this sentence is not complied with. If any Mall I Mortgagee does not comply with Sections 14.3.4.6 and 14.3.4.7, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies H/C I Owner may have at law or in equity, clause (c) of the second sentence of Section 14.3.5.3 shall be deemed null and void with respect to such Mortgagee and its Mall I Mortgage and any foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure in connection therewith.
               14.3.4.9 Mall I Owner shall, within five (5) Business Days after any payment made or expense incurred by H/C I Owner in connection with the exercise of H/C I Owner’s rights under Section 14.3.4.6, reimburse H/C I Owner for such payment or expense.
               14.3.4.10 In consideration of the rights granted to H/C I Owner under Sections 14.3.4.6, 14.3.4.7 and 14.3.4.9 and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if H/C I Owner shall exercise any of its rights under said Section 14.3.4.6, H/C I Owner hereby covenants and agrees that, until the satisfaction in full of the applicable Mall I Loan, it shall not, in connection with any amount owned by Mall I Owner to H/C I Owner pursuant to Section 14.3.4.9, institute, file, commence, acquiesce, petition (either by itself or in conjunction with any other person or entity) under Bankruptcy Code Section 303 or otherwise (or join any person or entity in any such


 

198

petition) or otherwise invoke or cause any other person or entity to invoke any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding with respect to or against Mall I Owner or seek to appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official with respect to Mall I Owner or all or any part of its property or assets or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of Mall I Owner. Any Mall I Mortgagee shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Section 14.3.4.10 and shall have the right to take any and all appropriate action at law or in equity to enforce its provisions.
               14.3.4.11 Mall I Owner acknowledges that H/C I Owner and Affiliates of H/C I Owner are businesses that are or may be subject to and exist because of privileged licenses issued by Gaming Authorities. If Mall I Owner desires to effectuate any Phase I Mall Sale, Mall I Owner shall require the proposed purchaser, assignee, transferee or lessee (a “Proposed Transferee”) to disclose to Mall I Owner and H/C I Owner the names of all of its officers and directors. Unless it is a publicly traded corporation on a national stock exchange, the Proposed Transferee shall disclose to Mall I Owner and H/C I Owner all direct and indirect ownership interests in the Proposed Transferee and all lenders or sources of financing. If requested to do so by H/C I Owner, Mall I Owner shall require a Proposed Transferee to obtain any license, qualification, clearance or the like which shall be requested or required of any Proposed Transferee by any Gaming Authority or any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over H/C I Owner or any Affiliate of H/C I Owner; provided, however, that H/C I Owner shall request the same only if a Gaming Authority or any other such authority requests or requires the same. If a Proposed Transferee fails to satisfy such requirement or if H/C I Owner or any Affiliate of H/C I Owner is directed not to involve itself in business with a Proposed Transferee by any


 

199

such authority, or if H/C I Owner shall in good faith determine, in H/C I Owner’s good-faith judgment, that a Proposed Transferee or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, designees or representatives, or a partner, owner, member, or shareholder, or any lender or financial participant (a) is or might be engaged in, or is about to be engaged in, any activity or activities, or (b) was or is involved in any relationship, either of which could or does jeopardize H/C I Owner’s business, reputation or such licenses, or those of its Affiliates, or if any such license is threatened to be, or is, denied, curtailed, suspended or revoked, then Mall I Owner, at H/C I Owner’s direction, shall immediately (i) terminate any relationship with the individual or entity which is the source of the problem, or (ii) cease the activity creating the problem. If Mall I Owner does not comply with item (i) or (ii) above, then H/C I Owner may require Mall I Owner to specifically perform such obligation (the parties recognizing that damages or other remedies would be inadequate under the circumstances). Any Phase I Mall Sale entered into in violation of this Section 14.3.4.11 shall be deemed null and void and of no force and effect.
               14.3.5 Restrictions on Phase II Mall Sales.
               Mall II Owner covenants and agrees, for the benefit of H/C II Owner only, as follows:
                         14.3.5.1 Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, but subject to the provisions of Section 14.3.5.3 below, no Phase II Mall Sale may be consummated unless H/C II Owner is given not less than thirty (30) days written notice of such contemplated transaction and unless H/C II Owner consents to such transaction, which consent may be withheld in H/C II Owner’s sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that such consent shall not be required (but such prior written notice shall still be required) if (x) neither the transferee nor any Affiliate thereof is a Competitor, (y) the


 

200

transferee (or an Affiliate thereof) owns or manages not less than ten million (10,000,000) square feet of retail space in the United States and (z) such Phase II Mall Sale would not, in the good-faith judgment of H/C II Owner, jeopardize any of H/C II Owner’s Gaming Licenses. In all events, neither Mall II Owner nor any Affiliate thereof shall ever be a Competitor, whether as the result of a Phase II Mall Sale or otherwise, unless H/C II Owners consents with respect thereto. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Phase II Casino Level Master Lease, the tenant under the Phase II Casino Level Master Lease must always be Mall II Owner or an Affiliate thereof.
                         14.3.5.2 Except as described in Section 14.3.5.3, H/C II Owner shall have a right of first offer to consummate any Phase II Mall Sale in accordance with and subject to the following procedures, and no Phase II Mall Sale shall occur except in accordance with and subject to such procedures:
                                   14.3.5.2.1 If Mall II Owner (which, for purposes of this Section 14.3.5, shall include any owner of a direct or indirect equity or beneficial ownership interest in Mall II Owner) desires to either (x) sell, assign or otherwise transfer the Mall II Space or Phase II Mall or any portion of either or any such direct or indirect equity or beneficial ownership interests (any such asset or interest, including the entire Mall II Space and Phase II Mall, a “Mall II Asset”), or (y) lease all or substantially all of the Mall II Space or Phase II Mall to one Person or a group of Affiliated Persons (any such sale, assignment, transfer or lease, a “Phase II Mall Sale”), Mall II Owner must make a written offer to sell such Mall II Asset to H/C II Owner, which offer must include the proposed purchase price (or proposed rental payments, in the case of a lease) and all other material terms of the proposed transaction. Upon receipt of such notice, H/C II Owner


 

201

shall have thirty (30) days in which to notify Mall II Owner that it has elected to purchase such Mall II Asset upon the terms of the offer made to H/C II Owner.
                                   14.3.5.2.2 In the event that H/C II Owner accepts Mall II Owner’s offer within said thirty (30) day period, the parties shall negotiate in good-faith for the sixty (60) day period following such acceptance the terms and provisions of a definitive binding purchase agreement (or lease agreement, if applicable) in connection therewith. In the event that notwithstanding such good faith negotiation, no definitive binding written purchase agreement or lease agreement is entered into between the parties within said sixty (60) day period, Mall II Owner may then, without having to once again comply with the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.3.5.2, either:
                                        14.3.5.2.2.1 Market the applicable Mall II Asset and conclude the applicable Phase II Mall Sale for a purchase price not less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the purchase price offered to H/C II Owner (or for rental payments having a present value (assuming a 6% annual discount rate) of not less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the rental payments offered to H/C II Owner, in the case of a lease) and otherwise upon terms not materially less advantageous to Mall II Owner than the terms offered to H/C II Owner, but only if such transaction is consummated, or the definitive binding written purchase agreement or lease agreement with respect thereto is entered into, no later than six (6) months after the expiration of said sixty (60) day period; or
                                        14.3.5.2.2.2 In the event Mall II Owner desires to sell such Mall II Asset for a purchase price which is less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the purchase price offered to H/C II Owner (or for rental


 

202

payments having a present value (assuming a 6% annual discount rate) of less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the rental payments offered to H/C II Owner, in the case of a lease) or otherwise on terms materially less advantageous to Mall II Owner than the terms offered to H/C II Owner, provide H/C II Owner (no later than six (6) months after the expiration of said sixty (60) day period) with written notice of the terms of the offer from a third-party that Mall II Owner intends to accept (which notice must include a copy of the proposed definitive binding written purchase agreement or lease agreement that Mall II Owner intends to execute). In such event, H/C II Owner shall have ten (10) Business Days in which to notify Mall II Owner that H/C II Owner has elected to purchase such Mall II Asset upon the terms of the offer presented to H/C II Owner and five (5) days following the delivery of such notice to execute such a definitive written binding purchase agreement or lease agreement. If H/C II Owner fails to provide such notice within such ten (10) Business Day period or thereafter fails to enter into a definitive written binding purchase agreement or lease agreement within such five (5) day period, Mall II Owner may, without having to once again comply with the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.3.5.2, accept such third-party offer and consummate the applicable Phase II Mall Sale with such third-party on terms materially consistent with such offer.
                                   14.3.5.2.3 In the event H/C II Owner rejects an offer made by Mall II Owner pursuant to Section 14.3.5.2.1, Mall II Owner may, without once again complying with the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.3.5.2, consummate the applicable Phase II Mall Sale with a third party for a purchase price greater than or equal to


 

203

ninety-five percent (95%) of the purchase price offered to H/C II Owner (or for rental payments having a present value (assuming a 6% annual discount rate) of not less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the rental payments offered to H/C II Owner, in the case of a lease), and otherwise on terms not materially less advantageous to Mall II Owner than the terms offered to H/C II Owner, but only if such sale is consummated, or the definitive binding written purchase agreement or lease agreement with respect thereto is entered into, no later than six (6) months after the date H/C II Owner rejected Mall II Owner’s offer.
                         14.3.5.2.4 In the event that any Phase II Mall Sale is intended to be consummated as part of a portfolio sale of other properties and/or interests, Mall II Owner shall cause a fair and reasonable portion of the aggregate purchase price for such portfolio sale to be allocated to such Phase II Mall Sale for all purposes of this Section 14.3.5.2.
               14.3.5.3 Mall II Owner acknowledges and confirms that subject to the next sentence, both the provisions of Section 14.3.5.1 above, and the provisions of Section 14.3.5.2, apply with respect to any Phase II Mall Sale, so that compliance with one set of provisions does not obviate or nullify in any way the requirement that the other set of provisions be complied with. However, the provisions of Section 14.3.5.1 and 14.3.5.2 above shall not apply to (a) sales or other transfers or issuances of direct or indirect equity or beneficial ownership interests that do not, pursuant to one transaction or a series of related or unrelated transactions, exceed 66 2/3% of the beneficial interests in Mall II Owner and that do not result in a change in the Person or Persons that ultimately “control” Mall II Owner (as the term “control” is used in the definition of Affiliate), (b) transfers to Affiliates, (c) any Phase II Mall Sale pursuant to a judgment of foreclosure of a Mortgage, or any conveyance(s) of the Mall II Space and/or Phase II Mall to any Mall II Mortgagee


 

204

or any Affiliate thereof in connection with a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction (any such foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof, “Phase II Mall Foreclosure Sale”), and, if the purchaser or transferee in a Phase II Mall Foreclosure Sale is a Mall II Mortgagee or any Affiliate thereof, any subsequent Phase II Mall Sales by such Mortgagee or Affiliate or any of its direct or indirect equity holders or beneficial owners, provided that the right of first offer shall thereafter apply (subject to clauses (a) — (e) of this sentence) to any Phase II Mall Sales in which the seller or transferor is not any of such parties, (d) any transfers or issuances of stock of General Growth Properties, Inc. or its corporate successor or any other company with stock publicly traded on the American Stock Exchange or New York Stock Exchange or a similar stock exchange of another nation or (e) any transfers or issuances of partnership interests in GGP Limited Partnership.
               14.3.5.4 By joining in the execution of this Agreement, certain holders of direct and indirect equity and beneficial ownership interests in Mall II Owner agree, on behalf of themselves and their successors and assigns, to be bound by the provisions of this Section 14.3.5. Each holder of such ownership interests in Mall II Owner shall, as a condition to any sale of its interest, obtain a written agreement from its Transferee, for the benefit of H/C II Owner, agreeing to be bound by the provisions of Section 14.3.5, and shall deliver a copy of such written agreement to H/C II Owner.
               14.3.5.5 Any Phase II Mall Sale that is made in violation of this Section 14.3.5 shall be void ab initio.
               14.3.5.6 In the event that any Mall II Mortgagee delivers a written notice of any default or event of default under its mortgage encumbering the Mall II Space


 

205

(a “Mall II Mortgage”) or that the outstanding principal under the note or notes secured by such Mall II Mortgage has become due (whether by acceleration or for any other reason) (any such notice, a “Mall II Mortgage Default Notice”), the Mall II Mortgagee shall, simultaneously with the delivery of such notice to Mall II Owner, deliver a copy thereof to H/C II Owner. In such event, and so long as at the time such notice is delivered H/C II Owner satisfies the Financial Covenant, H/C II Owner shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make any payment or take any other action necessary to cure any Curable Default, and the applicable Mall II Mortgagee shall be obligated to accept such cure as if the payment was made or the action was taken by Mall II Owner, provided that (x) H/C II Owner shall not be entitled to cure more than three (3) interest payment defaults in any twelve (12) month period and (y) if, at any time after a Mall II Mortgage Default Notice is given but before the applicable Curable Default is cured, the Financial Covenant is no longer satisfied, H/C II Owner’s cure right with respect to such Curable Default shall terminate. H/C II Owner shall have the same cure period granted to Mall II Owner under the Mall II Mortgage and related loan documents (collectively, including the Mall II Mortgage, the “Mall II Loan Documents”), plus (A) with respect to the payment of interest or principal (other than accelerated principal) required by the Mall II Loan Documents, three (3) Business Days (and in all events not less than three (3) Business Days after H/C II Owner’s receipt of the applicable Mall II Mortgage Default Notice), (B) with respect to the payment of any other amounts under the Mall II Loan Documents, five (5) Business Days (and in all events not less than five (5) Business Days after H/C II Owner’s receipt of the applicable Mall II Mortgage Default Notice), and (C) with respect to any Curable Default other than a failure to make a payment required by the Mall II Loan Documents, and


 

206

provided (1) H/C II Owner delivers written notice to Mall II Mortgagee of its intention to cure such default within five (5) Business Days after H/C II Owner’s receipt of the applicable Mall II Mortgage Default Notice and (2) H/C II Owner is diligently proceeding to cure such default, such additional time (but not to exceed one hundred and twenty (120) days in the aggregate) as is reasonably necessary for H/C II Owner to take or effectuate such actions necessary to cure such default. After any Mall II Mortgage Default Notice is given, the applicable Mortgagee shall give H/C II Owner written notice if the default or event of default is subsequently cured (other than by H/C II Owner) or acceleration is revoked.
               14.3.5.7 In the event the entire principal sum secured by any Mall II Mortgage becomes immediately due and payable, whether by acceleration or for any other reason, the Mall II Mortgagee shall promptly give H/C II Owner an Acceleration Notice, and so long as at the time such notice is given H/C II Owner satisfies the Financial Covenant, H/C II Owner shall have a Buy-Out Option to purchase Mall II Mortgagee’s interest in the Mall II Loan Documents and the loan evidenced thereby (the “Mall II Loan”) at a price equal to the Buy-Out Option Purchase Price (as defined below), provided that H/C II Owner shall not have such option unless (x) it gives written notice to Mall II Mortgagee of its election to exercise such option no later than sixty (60) days after the Acceleration Notice was given and (y) at the time H/C II Owner gives such notice it satisfies the Financial Covenant. If H/C II Owner elects to exercise such option, H/C II Owner shall be obligated to purchase, and Mall II Mortgagee shall be obligated to sell, the Mall II Loan and the Mall II Loan Documents for the Buy-Out Option Purchase Price on a date not less than five (5) Business Days, nor more than ten (10) Business Days, after


 

207

H/C II Owner delivers its written notice to Mall II Mortgagee of such election, such date to be selected by Mall II Mortgagee). Upon payment by H/C II Owner to Mall II Mortgagee of the Buy-Out Option Purchase Price on the applicable date, the Mall II Mortgagee shall, pursuant to assignment documents that contain no representations or warranties other than a representation that the Mall II Mortgagee owns the Mall II Loan Documents free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, and that are otherwise reasonably satisfactory to H/C II Owner and Mall II Mortgagee, assign to H/C II Owner (or any designee thereof) the Mall II Mortgage and the other Mall II Loan Documents. Said assignment shall not relieve Mall II Owner of any of Mall II Owner’s defaults and liabilities under said loan. The Buy-Out Option Purchase Price shall be calculated by the Mall II Mortgagee (or its servicer) three (3) Business Days prior to the date set for purchase and shall, absent manifest error, be binding upon Mall II Mortgagee and H/C II Owner.
               14.3.5.8 Mall II Owner covenants and agrees that it will cause each Mall II Mortgage to include or cross-reference the provisions of Sections 14.3.5.6 and 14.3.5.7, and to make H/C II Owner a third party beneficiary of such inclusion or cross-reference, but all Mall II Mortgagees shall be bound by such provisions even if this sentence is not complied with. If any Mall II Mortgagee does not comply with Sections 14.3.5.6 and 14.3.5.7, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies H/C II Owner may have at law or in equity, clause (c) of the second sentence of Section 14.3.5.3 shall be deemed null and void with respect to such Mortgagee and its Mall II Mortgage and any foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure in connection therewith.
               14.3.5.9 Mall II Owner shall, within five (5) Business Days after any payment made or expense incurred by H/C II Owner in connection with the exercise of

H/C II Owner’s rights under Section 14.3.5.6, reimburse H/C II Owner for such payment or expense.
               14.3.5.10 In consideration of the rights granted to H/C II Owner under Sections 14.3.5.6, 14.3.5.7and 14.3.5.9 and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if H/C II Owner shall exercise any of its rights under said Section 14.3.5.6, H/C II Owner hereby covenants and agrees that, until the satisfaction in full of the applicable Mall II Loan, it shall not, in connection with any amount owned by Mall II Owner to H/C II Owner pursuant to Section 14.3.5.9, institute, file, commence, acquiesce, petition (either by itself or in conjunction with any other person or entity) under Bankruptcy Code Section 303 or otherwise (or join any person or entity in any such petition) or otherwise invoke or cause any other person or entity to invoke any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding with respect to or against Mall II Owner or seek to appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official with respect to Mall II Owner or all or any part of its property or assets or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of Mall II Owner. Any Mall II Mortgagee shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Section 14.3.5.10 and shall have the right to take any and all appropriate action at law or in equity to enforce its provisions.
               14.3.5.11 Mall II Owner acknowledges that H/C II Owner and Affiliates of H/C II Owner are businesses that are or may be subject to and exist because of privileged licenses issued by Gaming Authorities. If Mall II Owner desires to effectuate any Phase II Mall Sale, Mall II Owner shall require the Proposed Transferee to disclose to Mall II Owner and H/C II Owner the names of all of its officers and directors. Unless it is


 

209

a publicly traded corporation on a national stock exchange, the Proposed Transferee shall disclose to Mall II Owner and H/C II Owner all direct and indirect ownership interests in the Proposed Transferee and all lenders or sources of financing. If requested to do so by H/C II Owner, Mall II Owner shall require a Proposed Transferee to obtain any license, qualification, clearance or the like which shall be requested or required of any Proposed Transferee by any Gaming Authority or any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over H/C II Owner or any Affiliate of H/C II Owner; provided, however, that H/C II Owner shall request the same only if a Gaming Authority or any other such authority requests or requires the same. If a Proposed Transferee fails to satisfy such requirement or if H/C II Owner or any Affiliate of H/C II Owner is directed not to involve itself in business with a Proposed Transferee by any such authority, or if H/C II Owner shall in good faith determine, in H/C II Owner’s good-faith judgment, that a Proposed Transferee or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, designees or representatives, or a partner, owner, member, or shareholder, or any lender or financial participant (a) is or might be engaged in, or is about to be engaged in, any activity or activities, or (b) was or is involved in any relationship, either of which could or does jeopardize H/C II Owner’s business, reputation or such licenses, or those of its Affiliates, or if any such license is threatened to be, or is, denied, curtailed, suspended or revoked, then Mall II Owner, at H/C II Owner’s direction, shall immediately (i) terminate any relationship with the individual or entity which is the source of the problem, or (ii) cease the activity creating the problem. If Mall II Owner does not comply with item (i) or (ii) above, then H/C II Owner may require Mall II Owner to specifically perform such obligation (the parties recognizing that damages or other remedies would be inadequate under the circumstances). Any Phase II Mall Sale entered


 

210

into in violation of this Section 14.3.5.11 shall be deemed null and void and of no force and effect.
     Section 14.4 Identity of Mall I Owner and its Officers and Directors; Identity of Mall II Owner and its Officers and Directors.
          14.4.1 Mall I Owner acknowledges that H/C I Owner and Affiliates of H/C I Owner are businesses that are or may be subject to and exist because of privileged licenses issued by Gaming Authorities. Mall I Owner shall promptly notify H/C I Owner of the appointment of any individual as an officer, director or senior employee of Mall I Owner who does not hold such position as of the date hereof (each a “New Mall I Individual”). If requested to do so by H/C I Owner, Mall I Owner shall require any New Mall I Individual or other officer, director, employee, agent, designee or representative, or a partner, owner, member, or shareholder, or any lender or financial participant of Mall I Owner to obtain any license, qualification, clearance or the like which shall be requested or required of any such individual by any Gaming Authority or any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over H/C I Owner or any Affiliate of H/C I Owner. If any New Mall I Individual or other officer, director, employee, agent, designee or representative, or a partner, owner, member, or shareholder, or any lender or financial participant of Mall I Owner fails to satisfy such requirement or if H/C I Owner or any Affiliate of H/C I Owner is directed not to involve itself in business with such individual by any such authority, or if H/C I Owner shall in good faith determine, in H/C I Owner’s good-faith judgment, that such individual (a) is or might be engaged in, or is about to be engaged in, any activity or activities, or (b) was or is involved in any relationship, either of which could or does jeopardize H/C I Owner’s business, reputation or such licenses, or those of its Affiliates, or


 

211

if any such license is threatened to be, or is, denied, curtailed, suspended or revoked, then Mall I Owner, at H/C I Owner’s direction, shall immediately (i) terminate any relationship with the individual or entity which is the source of the problem, or (ii) cease the activity creating the problem. If Mall I Owner does not comply with item (i) or (ii) above, then H/C I Owner may require Mall I Owner to specifically perform such obligation (the parties recognizing that damages or other remedies would be inadequate under the circumstances). Any appointment of any New Mall I Individual in violation of this Section 14.3.5.11 shall be deemed null and void and of no force and effect.
          14.4.2 Mall II Owner acknowledges that H/C II Owner and Affiliates of H/C II Owner are businesses that are or may be subject to and exist because of privileged licenses issued by Gaming Authorities. Mall II Owner shall promptly notify H/C II Owner of the appointment of any individual as an officer, director or senior employee of Mall II Owner who does not hold such position as of the date hereof (each a “New Mall II Individual”). If requested to do so by H/C II Owner, Mall II Owner shall require any New Mall II Individual or other officer, director, employee, agent, designee or representative, or a partner, owner, member, or shareholder, or any lender or financial participant of Mall II Owner to obtain any license, qualification, clearance or the like which shall be requested or required of any such individual by any Gaming Authority or any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over H/C II Owner or any Affiliate of H/C II Owner. If any New Mall II Individual or other officer, director, employee, agent, designee or representative, or a partner, owner, member, or shareholder, or any lender or financial participant of Mall II Owner fails to satisfy such requirement or if H/C II Owner or any Affiliate of H/C II Owner is directed not to involve itself in business with such individual by any such


 

212

authority, or if H/C II Owner shall in good faith determine, in H/C II Owner’s good-faith judgment, that such individual (a) is or might be engaged in, or is about to be engaged in, any activity or activities, or (b) was or is involved in any relationship, either of which could or does jeopardize H/C II Owner’s business, reputation or such licenses, or those of its Affiliates, or if any such license is threatened to be, or is, denied, curtailed, suspended or revoked, then Mall II Owner, at H/C II Owner’s direction, shall immediately (i) terminate any relationship with the individual or entity which is the source of the problem, or (ii) cease the activity creating the problem. If Mall II Owner does not comply with item (i) or (ii) above, then H/C II Owner may require Mall II Owner to specifically perform such obligation (the parties recognizing that damages or other remedies would be inadequate under the circumstances). Any appointment of any New Mall II Individual in violation of this Section 14.3.5.11 shall be deemed null and void and of no force and effect.
          14.4.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the second and third sentences of Section 14.3.4.11 or the second and third sentences of Section 14.3.5.11, Mall I Owner or Mall II Owner, as the case may be, need only use commercially reasonable efforts (or, if H/C I Owner and/or H/C II Owner agree to reimburse Mall I Owner or Mall II Owner, as the case may be, for any out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection therewith, best efforts), upon the request of H/C I Owner or H/C II Owner, to obtain and disclose the names of the directors and officers, all direct and indirect ownership interests and all lenders or sources of financing of any Proposed Transferee that is acquiring through the public markets less than a controlling interest in General Growth Properties, Inc. or in GGP Limited Partnership. For the purpose of this Section 14.4.3, a


 

213

“controlling interest” in a Person shall mean the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise. For clarity, this Section 14.4.3 shall not vary any of the terms of Section 14.3.4.11 or Section 14.3.5.11 other than the second and third sentences thereof.
     Section 14.5 Mortgages.
          14.5.1 Each Party shall have the right to collaterally assign and encumber this Agreement as security to one or more of its Mortgagees holding a Mortgage so long as such Mortgagee, in writing (i) subordinates such Mortgage and the lien thereof to this Agreement and to the rights, interests, obligations, duties, conditions, covenants and agreements granted pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise contained herein (whether such Mortgage is recorded on or after the date hereof) and (ii) agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement upon its taking title to such property (subject to the provisions of Section 14.6 below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, regardless of whether any Mortgagee shall receive a collateral assignment of this Agreement, each Mortgage (whether recorded on or after the date hereof) and the lien thereof shall automatically be subject and subordinate to this Agreement and to the rights, interests, obligations, duties, conditions, covenants and agreements granted pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise contained herein.
          14.5.2 Each Party agrees for the benefit of the other Parties and their respective Mortgagees, that wherever a Party has a right to grant or withhold its consent or approval under this Agreement, or otherwise has discretion to act or refrain from acting, such Party shall only grant its consent or approval or act or refrain from acting, as the case


 

214

may be, in such a manner as a Commercially Reasonable Owner would do and so long as the same is not likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
          14.5.3 In any instance (other than Section 11.2.2) where a Mortgagee’s consent is required under this Agreement and such Mortgagee shall be a trustee for publicly held debt under an indenture, such Mortgagee shall be deemed to have given its consent upon delivery to such trustee of a written statement from an Independent Expert certifying that the matter proposed for consent would be consented to by a Commercially Reasonable Owner of the Lot(s) encumbered in favor of said Mortgagee and the same is not likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that the foregoing consent procedure shall not be construed as a means for satisfying any consents or approvals required to be obtained with respect to matters under the terms of the indenture, security documents and other loan documents pertaining to any such Mortgagee, it being understood that said consent or approval requirements must be satisfied in accordance with their terms.
     Section 14.6 Transferee Liability.
          14.6.1 Subject to the further provisions of this Section 14.6, any assignee or transferee (in either case, a “Transferee”) of all or any portion of the Phase I Land and/or any buildings or other improvements thereon, the Mall I Space and/or any buildings or other improvements thereon, the Phase II Land and/or any buildings or other improvements thereon, the Mall II Space and/or any buildings or other improvements thereon, or the SECC Land and/or any buildings or other improvements thereon, including, without limitation, any transferee by way of a foreclosure sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, shall be deemed to have assumed the obligations and liabilities hereunder of


 

215

the Party from whom such Transferee received its interest in such portion of the Phase I Land, Mall I Space, the Phase II Land, the Mall II Space or the SECC Land or such buildings or other improvements (to the extent such obligations or liabilities relate to such portion); provided that, without limiting the foregoing, within five (5) Business Days of written request therefor by the non-transferring Party hereto, the Transferee shall execute a writing, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Transferee and to such non-transferring Party, confirming such assumption. In the event of such a transfer or assignment, the transferring Party (the “Transferor”) shall be released from any obligations arising after the effective date of the transfer or assignment (but not any obligations of the Transferor that are outstanding under this Agreement as of the effective date of the transfer or assignment, and the Transferor and the Transferee shall be jointly and severally liable with respect to such obligations). Each Transferor shall give the other Party hereto at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of the transfer or assignment in question and shall furnish a fully-executed copy of the instrument of transfer or assignment, within five (5) Business Days of execution thereof, to the other Party hereto.
          14.6.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a transfer to any Mortgagee (or its designee) resulting from (i) judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure of the Mortgage held by such Mortgagee or (ii) the grant of a deed-in-lieu of such foreclosure, then, in either event, (x) the Transferor shall be released from any obligations arising after the effective date of the transfer; provided, however, that the Transferor shall not be released from any obligations which remain outstanding on the date of such transfer and (y) such Mortgagee (or its designee) shall not be liable for any non-monetary defaults of the Transferor arising under this Agreement prior to the effective date of the transfer that


 

216

are not susceptible to cure by the Transferee after obtaining possession of the Lot in question.
     Section 14.7 As-Built Survey. Each Party, upon the request of any other Party, shall enter into one or more separate agreements in recordable form setting forth in legally sufficient detail the easements, rights-of-way and other rights and interests provided for in, or granted (or required to be granted) pursuant to, this Agreement. In addition, within ninety (90) days following completion of construction of each of the Palazzo and the Phase II Automobile Parking Area, H/C II Owner shall, at its sole cost and expense, have an as-built survey prepared by a reputable licensed surveyor of the applicable portion of the Phase II Land, together with all improvements constructed thereon and a copy of such survey will be sent to each Owner and to each Owner’s Mortgagees.
     Section 14.8 Estoppel Certificates. Each Party shall at any time and from time to time during the Term (but not more often than once in each calendar quarter), within thirty (30) days after request by any other Party, execute, acknowledge and deliver to such other Party or to any existing or prospective purchaser, Mortgagee or lessee designated by such other Party, a certificate stating: (a) that this Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect, or if there has been a modification or modifications, that this Agreement is in full force and effect, as modified, and identifying the modification agreement or agreements; (b) whether or not there is any existing default hereunder by either Party in the payment of any sum of money owing to the Party executing such certificate, whether or not there is any existing default by either Party with respect to which a notice of default has been given or received by the Party executing such certificate (and, to the best of the knowledge of the Party executing such certificate, whether any other default exists under this Agreement),


 

217

and if there is any such default, specifying the nature and extent thereof; (c) whether or not there are any outstanding claims, set-offs, defenses or counterclaims which a Party has asserted against the other Party by notice to the other Party; and (d) such other matters as may be reasonably requested. The Parties acknowledge and agree that as of the date hereof, there is no existing default hereunder by Mall II Owner.
     Section 14.9 Indemnification. Each of the Parties shall at all times indemnify and hold harmless each of the other Parties, their Mortgagees, the Trustee and their respective partners, principals, officers, directors, shareholders and employees, from and against any and all losses, liabilities, expenses, costs, demands, claims and judgments, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred or suffered by any such indemnified Party and arising from or as a result of the death of, or any accident, injury, loss or damage whatsoever caused to any persons or property (a) as shall occur on the land or in any buildings or other improvements owned by such indemnifying Party, (b) as shall occur due to the entry by such indemnifying Party or its Permittees onto the land or buildings owned by such indemnified Party, (c) as shall occur due to a violation of this Agreement on the part of the indemnifying Party, (d) as shall occur due to the naming of such other Party in a lawsuit relating to construction performed by or on behalf of the indemnifying Party or (e) in connection with the exercise of any rights, licenses or interests granted to, or easements used by such indemnifying Party hereunder, except, in each case, to the extent such claims (i) result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnified Party or any of its Permittees or any violation of this Agreement on the part of the indemnified Party, (ii) are covered by any insurance referred to in Article 10 hereof that is obtained by any Party or would have been covered, if any other Party had obtained the


 

218

same, by any such insurance that any other Party is required thereunder to obtain or to the extent a Party is actually covered by any other insurance or (iii) result from the exercise of any rights or interests granted to, or easements used by, any other Party hereunder. In accordance with, but without limiting, the foregoing, H/C II Owner agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the other Owners, their Mortgagees, the Trustee and their respective partners, principals, officers, directors, shareholders and employees, from and against any and all losses, liabilities, expenses, costs, demands, claims and judgments, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred or suffered by any such indemnified Party and arising from or as a result of the death of, or any accident, injury, loss or damage whatsoever caused to any persons or property as may occur in connection with the construction of the Palazzo, except, in each case, to the extent such claims (i) result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnified Party or any of its Permittees or any violation of this Agreement on the part of the indemnified Party, (ii) are caused by construction, alterations or “fit-out” work performed by Mall II Buyer or its Permittees on or about the Phase II Land during the construction of the Palazzo, in which event Mall II Owner shall be the indemnifying party under this sentence or (iii) are covered by any insurance referred to in Article 10 hereof that is obtained by any Party or would have been covered, if any other Party had obtained the same, by any such insurance that any other Party is required thereunder to obtain or to the extent a Party is actually covered by any other insurance.


 

219

     Section 14.10 Rights to Cure Default; Payment of Default and Lien.
          14.10.1 In the event that any Party (a “Defaulting Party”) shall fail to fully, faithfully and punctually perform or cause to be performed any obligation on the part of such Defaulting Party hereunder:
               14.10.1.1 if such default shall continue for ten (10) days after notice thereof (except in the event of an emergency where no notice shall be required) from any non-Defaulting Party affected by such default to the Defaulting Party, such non-Defaulting Party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to (x) enter upon the property owned or leased by the Defaulting Party to the extent reasonably required to perform or cause to be performed the obligations of the Defaulting Party with respect to which the Defaulting Party is in default, (y) perform or cause to be performed such obligations and (z) be reimbursed by such Defaulting Party, upon demand by such non-Defaulting Party, for the cost thereof, together with simple interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date of demand to the date of reimbursement by the Defaulting Party; provided, however, that if such default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such ten (10) day period and cannot be cured solely by the payment of money and the Defaulting Party shall have commenced to cure such default within such ten (10) day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such ten (10) day period shall be extended to the extent necessary so to cure such default (but in no event beyond sixty (60) days in total (including the original ten (10) day period)); and
               14.10.1.2 if such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after notice from such non-Defaulting Party to the Defaulting Party, then such non-Defaulting Party shall have all rights and remedies available at law or in equity (other than any right to


 

220

terminate this Agreement); provided, however, that if such default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period and the Defaulting Party shall have commenced to cure such default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended to the extent necessary so to cure such default (but in no event beyond one hundred eighty (180) days in total (including the original thirty (30) day period)); provided further, that any default that can be cured solely by the payment of money shall be cured within ten (10) days after notice from such non-Defaulting Party to the Defaulting Party.
          14.10.2 If pursuant to Section 14.10.1, a Party is compelled or elects to pay any sum of money or do any acts which require the payment of money by reason of another Party’s failure or inability to perform any of the terms and provisions in this Agreement to be performed by such other Party, the Defaulting Party shall promptly upon demand, reimburse the paying Party for such sums, and all such sums shall bear simple interest at the Interest Rate from the date of demand for reimbursement until the date of such reimbursement. Any other sums payable by any Party to any other Party pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement that shall not be paid when due shall bear simple interest at the Interest Rate from the due date to the date of payment thereof. All such unpaid sums shall constitute a valid and enforceable lien on the Defaulting Party’s Lot and each Party hereby consents to the filing by any other Party of any and all documentation necessary or desirable to perfect and/or secure such lien. No action shall be brought to foreclose such lien unless (x) thirty (30) days’ notice of claim of lien is given to the Defaulting Party, (y) such notice and opportunity to cure is given to the holder of any


 

221

Mortgage encumbering the Defaulting Party’s Lot as is required under Section 14.15.3, and (z) no such Person shall cure the default in question within the applicable cure period. Reasonable attorneys’ fees and charges in connection with collection of the debt secured by such lien or foreclosure thereof shall be paid by the Party against whom such action is brought and secured by such lien. Such lien shall be superior to any other lien and encumbrance on the affected Lot created or arising on or after the date of the Original REA, including, without limitation, the lien of any Mortgage. The liens provided for in this Section 14.10 shall only be effective when filed for record by the non-Defaulting Party as a claim of lien against the defaulting Party in the Recorder’s Office, signed and acknowledged, which claim of lien shall contain at least:
               14.10.2.1 An itemized statement of all amounts due and payable pursuant hereto;
               14.10.2.2 A description sufficient for identification of that portion of the real property of the Defaulting Party which is the subject of the lien;
               14.10.2.3 The name of the Owner or reputed Owner of the property which is the subject of the lien; and
               14.10.2.4 The name and address of the Party claiming the lien. The lien shall attach from the date a claim is recorded and may be enforced under the procedures set forth in Nev. Rev. Stat. §§ 116.3116-116.31168, except that the term “unit,” as used in the foregoing provisions, shall be deemed to refer to the Defaulting Party’s interest in the real property which is subject to the lien. The Party claiming the lien shall release the claim of lien once the amounts secured by the lien have been paid in full.


 

222

          14.10.3 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.10.2, H/C I Owner and H/C II Owner hereby expressly agree that any amount due from Mall I Owner or Mall II Owner to H/C I Owner or H/C II Owner under the provisions of Section 14.3.4.9 or Section 14.3.5.9, as applicable (in each case, a “Cure Reimbursement Amount”), is hereby expressly made subordinate to and junior in right of payment to the payment of all amounts that are due and payable under any Mall I Loan or Mall II Loan, as applicable. H/C I Owner and H/C II Owner further agree that any liens and security interests in favor of such Owner under Section 14.10.2 in respect of any Cure Reimbursement Amounts in any assets of Mall I Owner or Mall II Owner, as applicable, shall be and hereby are subordinated in rank and priority to any liens and security interests granted to and in favor of any Mall I Mortgagee or Mall II Mortgagee in those assets (whether now or hereafter arising) to secure the applicable Mall I Loan or Mall II Loan. In the event that, at the time any amount is due and payable to any Mall I Mortgagee under any Mall I Loan or Mall II Mortgagee under any Mall II Loan, any payment or distribution of assets of Mall I Owner or Mall II Owner, as applicable, of any kind or character, whether in cash, instruments, securities or other property, is received by H/C I Owner or H/C II Owner, as applicable, in respect of a Cure Reimbursement Amount from any source, directly or indirectly, such payment or distribution shall be held for the benefit of, and shall be immediately paid over and delivered to, the Mall I Mortgagee or the Mall II Mortgagee to the extent necessary to pay such due and payable amount under the Mall I Loan or the Mall II Loan.
     Section 14.11 Rights Perpetual. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (i) the utility, parking, and encroachment easements and related rights and interests granted herein shall be perpetual and shall remain binding forever and (ii) the


 

223

remainder of this Agreement shall continue, and the remainder of the obligations hereunder shall remain binding, from the Commencement Date until the Expiration Date. No Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as a result of any default or alleged default of any other Party, but such limitation shall not affect, in any manner, any other rights or remedies which any Party may have hereunder, at law or in equity by reason of any breach of this Agreement.
     Section 14.12 Further Assurances. Each Party upon the request of any other Party and at the expense of such other Party at any time from time to time, agrees to promptly execute, acknowledge where appropriate and deliver such additional instruments and documents, in recordable form if appropriate, and to take such other action, in each case, as may be reasonably requested by such other Party in order to effectuate the agreements contained herein. The Parties further agree to make such changes to this Agreement as shall be reasonably required to make this Agreement consistent with all applicable Legal Requirements.
     Section 14.13 Rights Irrevocable. The Parties hereby agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, (a) no fee or other charge is payable by any Person in connection with the use of any easement, right or interest granted hereunder or pursuant to the terms hereof and (b) all easements, rights and interests granted hereunder or pursuant to the terms hereof shall be irrevocable.
     Section 14.14 No Joint Venture. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed by the Parties hereto, or by any third Party, as creating the relationship of principal and agent, or of partners or joint venturers, between the Parties hereto.

     Section 14.16 Disputes/Independent Expert. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event there is a dispute that this Agreement provides will be resolved by an Independent Expert among any of the Parties (the “Disputing Parties”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the Disputing Parties cannot, with respect to any such dispute, resolve such dispute within sixty (60) days, then the matter(s) in question shall be resolved in accordance with the further provisions of this Section. In the event of any such disagreement, the Disputing Parties shall promptly notify the Independent Expert (as defined below) of such disagreement and of their desire that such disagreement be resolved by the Independent Expert. The Independent Expert shall be instructed to render its decision within thirty (30) days (or any shorter time reasonably agreed to by the Disputing Parties) after such notification. Each of the Disputing Parties shall be entitled to present evidence and arguments to the Independent Expert, which evidence and arguments may include the relevant provisions hereof.

The determination of the Independent Expert acting as above provided (i) shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties and (ii) shall in no event modify, amend or supplement this Agreement in any manner. The Independent Expert shall be required to give written notice to the Disputing Parties stating its determination, and shall furnish to each Party a signed copy of such determination. Each of the Disputing Parties


 

229

     Section 14.17 Savings.

     Section 14.18 No Shared Ownership. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is intended solely to regulate the rights and obligations of the Parties hereto and to impose the easements and restrictions upon the property specifically set forth herein, and except as set forth herein, each Party retains full ownership and control over its own property.
     Section 14.19 Headings. The article and section headings are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect construction of this Agreement.
     Section 14.20 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each such counterpart will, for all purposes, be deemed an original instrument, but all such counterparts together will constitute but one and the same agreement.

231

          14.21.1 In the event of any violation or threatened violation by any Person of any of the terms, restrictions, covenants and conditions of this Agreement, any Party hereto shall have the right to enjoin such violation or threatened violation in a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that subject to the next sentence, H/C II Owner, its Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns shall not seek to terminate the right of Mall II Owner and its Affiliates to use The Shoppes at The Palazzo Name or The Shoppes at The Palazzo Logo in any injunction proceeding. The restriction described in the proviso clause of the preceding sentence shall not be deemed to prevent H/C II Owner, its Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns from seeking to prohibit the unauthorized use of The Shoppes at The Palazzo Name or The Shoppes at The Palazzo Logo in any injunctive proceeding; provided, however, that H/C II Owner, its Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns shall not have the right to seek an injunction to prohibit Mall II Owner or its Affiliates from using the name “The Shoppes at The Palazzo” in connection with the operation and marketing of the Phase II Mall so long as such use is consistent with the style guidelines described in Exhibit R-2 attached hereto.
          14.21.2 In the event of any violation or threatened violation by any Person of any of the terms, restrictions, covenants and conditions of this Agreement, any Party hereto shall, in addition to the right set forth in Section 14.21.1 above, have the right to all other remedies available at law or in equity, including, with respect to a violation or threatened violation of Section 3.3 or Section 14.3, the right to specific performance.
     Section 14.22 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT.


 

232

     Section 14.23 No Waiver. No delay or omission by any Party in exercising any right or power accruing upon any default, non-compliance or failure of performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement by any other Party shall be construed to be a waiver thereof. A waiver by any Party of any of the obligations of any Party shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of any other term, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement.
     Section 14.24 Pronouns. All personal pronouns used in this Agreement, whether in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender, shall be deemed to include, and to refer also to, all other genders; all references in the singular shall be deemed to include, and to refer also to, the plural, and vice versa.
     Section 14.25 Construction. The word “in” with respect to an easement granted “in” a particular parcel of land or a portion thereof shall mean, as the context may require, “in,” “to,” “on,” “over,” “through,” “over,” “upon,” “across,” and “under,” or any one or more of the foregoing.
     Section 14.26 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada.
     Section 14.27 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the Parties and this Agreement may only be amended, supplemented, changed, terminated or modified by an agreement in writing signed by the Parties hereto, consented to by the Mortgagees affected thereby and recorded in the appropriate public records.
     Section 14.28 Recordation. This Agreement shall be recorded in the Land Records of Clark County, Nevada, with the costs of such recording to be shared equally by the Parties hereto.


 

233

     Section 14.29 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding on the Parties hereto and inure to the benefit of their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.
     Section 14.30 Binding and Enforceable Agreements; Independent Obligations.
          14.30.1 This Agreement is and is intended to be a fully binding and enforceable contract between the Parties notwithstanding that certain Parties are currently indirectly owned by the same principal. Each Party expressly acknowledges that certain third parties, including the separate creditors of each Party, are relying upon (i) the binding and enforceable nature hereof by each Party against the others and (ii) the separate assets and liabilities of each Party. Each Party therefore agrees not to challenge or seek to set aside this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or otherwise) based upon any assertion that such transactions do not contain arm’s-length terms or upon any direct or indirect common ownership of the Parties.
          14.30.2 All obligations of any Party under this Agreement constitute independent obligations of such Party and (except where expressly stated to be conditions) are not conditioned in any way on performance by any other Party. Accordingly, the breach by any Party under this Agreement shall not excuse performance by any other Party, except where this Agreement expressly states that one Party’s performance is conditioned upon performance by another Party. Nothing in the preceding two sentences shall limit any right of any Party to recover damages or to obtain equitable relief on account of any other Party’s breach of this Agreement. All Parties acknowledge that every Party will be making a substantial monetary investment in reliance on the terms of this


 

234

Agreement and the independent obligations undertaken by each Party pursuant to this Agreement. Without this Agreement, the Parties would not be able to achieve a coordinated development of the real property burdened by this Agreement, which coordinated development is intended and expected to produce substantial benefits for all Parties. All Parties acknowledge that it would be inequitable for any Party to be excused from any obligations under this Agreement while retaining its interest in the property encumbered (and benefited) by this Agreement.
          14.30.3 Funds Held by Trustee. Whenever Trustee is holding funds pursuant to this Agreement, such funds shall be held in a segregated interest bearing account for the benefit of the applicable Owners and the applicable Mortgagees.
     Section 14.31 Shared Costs. Wherever it is contemplated in this Agreement that Owners will share costs, the Owner who contracts for or incurs such costs on behalf of all such Owners shall do so only pursuant to arms-length agreements at market rates; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to an Owner who incurs expense to cure the default of another Owner.
     Section 14.32 No Duplication of Charges. Notwithstanding the fact that a fee, expense or other charge may be referenced more than once in this Agreement, no Party shall be required to pay such fee, expense or other charge more than once.
     Section 14.33 Section References. Wherever the word “Section” appears with no reference to a corresponding “Article”, the referenced Section shall be construed to be within the Article wherein such reference is made.
     Section 14.34 Modifications Requested by Mortgagees. If any actual or prospective Mortgagee requests any modification of this Agreement, then the Owners


 

235

shall, at the request of the Owner whose Mortgagee is requesting such modification, promptly execute and deliver such modification as such actual or prospective Mortgagee shall require, provided that such modification does not affect the rights of any of the other Owners (other than to a de minimis extent), increase the obligations of any of the other Owners hereunder (other than to a de minimis extent) or violate any term of any other Owner’s Mortgages.
     Section 14.35 Notice to Clark County Building Department. The Parties acknowledge and agree this Agreement allows the Lots to be in compliance with certain Legal Requirements, including, without limitations, building code requirements of Clark County. Should this Agreement be terminated or modified without the written concurrence of the Clark County Building Division of the Department of Development Services (the “Building Department”) verifying that each Lot will remain or be in compliance with building code requirements, the Building Department could prohibit continued operation of the business of a Party until compliance with all Legal Requirements. Although Clark County is not a Party, each Party covenants and agrees to give notice to Clark County in the manner provided herein prior to any modification or termination of this Agreement.
     Section 14.36 Other Agreements. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to constitute a waiver of any rights and obligations contained in the Phase II Mall Agreement or in that certain Joint Use and Operating Agreement dated February 14, 2005 between H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner, as the same may hereafter be amended, both of which remain in full force and effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement is intended to vary the terms of Section 2 of Article I of such Joint Use and


 

236
Operating Agreement, and this Agreement shall be included within the definition of “Transactional Documents” (as defined therein).
ARTICLE 15
ARBITRATION
     Section 15.1 Disputes Covered . Any dispute including those arising from lack of approval, controversies or disagreements between the Parties or arising from the interpretation or application of any Article or Section, and any disputes in this Agreement which by specific provisions are made subject to arbitration shall be resolved by arbitration, as provided herein; provided, however, that any Party hereto may seek prohibitory injunctive relief without first submitting a controversy to arbitration.
     Section 15.2 Arbitration Procedures
.
          15.2.1 If the Parties (the “Arbitrating Parties”) that are required to agree on an arbitrable dispute cannot reach an agreement within thirty (30) days after notice of an arbitrable dispute is given by any Arbitrating Party to the other Party or Parties, then any Arbitrating Party may at any time after the end of said thirty (30) day period refer the dispute to arbitration by notifying any other Arbitrating Party thereof, and the Arbitrating Parties agree to cooperate in obtaining such arbitration.
          15.2.2 Each Arbitrating Party shall within twenty (20) days of its receipt of such notification designate one Person, as hereinafter provided, to represent it as an arbitrator. The arbitrators so appointed by the Arbitrating Parties shall together designate one or two additional Persons as arbitrators to the end that the total number of arbitrators shall be an odd number. The appointment of all additional arbitrators under this Section shall be in writing and shall be submitted to the Arbitrating Parties within ten (10) days following the selection of the last arbitrator selected by the Arbitrating Parties. Any


 

237

Person designated as an arbitrator shall be knowledgeable and experienced in the matters sought to be arbitrated, and shall in all events (i) not be affiliated with any Owner (or any Affiliate of any Owner) or any Mortgagee (or any affiliate of any Mortgagee) and (ii) have at least ten (10) years of relevant experience and expertise with respect to large commercial real estate projects in Las Vegas, Nevada and/or Clark County, Nevada. If the dispute to be arbitrated deals with construction, the arbitrator so appointed shall be experienced and knowledgeable in the construction industry as it relates to the nature of the structure to which such arbitration applies. Similarly, any arbitrator appointed in an architectural dispute shall be qualified as respects architecture as it relates to the nature of the structure to which such arbitration applies.
          15.2.3 The arbitrators shall meet or otherwise confer as deemed necessary by the arbitrators to resolve the dispute and a decision of a majority of the arbitrators will be binding upon the Arbitrating Parties. The decision of the arbitrators shall be in writing and shall be made as promptly as possible after the designation of the last additional arbitrator, but in no event later than thirty (30) days from the date of the designation of the last additional arbitrator. A copy of the decision of the arbitrators shall be signed by at least a majority of the arbitrators and given to each Arbitrating Party and its Mortgagee in the manner provided in Section 14.15 of this Agreement for the giving of notice.
          15.2.4 For each arbitrable dispute the cost and expense of the arbitrators and arbitration proceeding (except for an Arbitrating Party’s attorney’s fees) shall be paid and shared by the Arbitrating Parties, unless the arbitrators assess such cost and expense unequally between the Arbitrating Parties.


 

238

          15.2.5 The decision of the arbitrators (i) may be entered as a judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction and (ii) shall in no event modify, amend or supplement this Agreement in any manner. All arbitration conducted under this Article 15 shall be in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, to the extent such rules do not conflict with the procedures herein set forth. To the extent permitted by law, compliance with this Article 15 is a condition precedent to the commencement by any Party of a judicial proceeding arising out of a dispute which is subject to arbitration hereunder.
          15.2.6 The holder of a Mortgage may participate in any arbitration proceedings in conjunction with the Party upon whose Lot it has a Mortgage.

NOTES:    
 
*   Whenever any definite amount (subject to CPI Adjustment or any other adjustment) is set forth on this chart as a payment for a certain category of expenses, such amount (adjusted for CPI or as otherwise adjusted) shall be due and payable without regard to the amount actually incurred by H/C I Owner or H/C II Owner, as the case may be, in respect of that category of expenses (and thus, no Supporting Documentation pursuant to Section 5.1.3.5 shall be required to be provided in connection therewith).
 
**   All specified annual amounts in Schedule II shall be appropriately pro-rated for any partial year, as applicable (except for purposes of calculating future CPI Adjustments).
 
***   CPI Adjustment,” as used on this Schedule II, shall be calculated as follows: Each specified dollar amount that is subject to CPI Adjustment shall be adjusted as of the first day of each Accounting Period, beginning with the 2009 Accounting Period, by multiplying such dollar amount (as it may have previously been adjusted pursuant to this sentence) by the percentage that is the sum of (x) one hundred percent (100%), plus (y) one hundred percent (100%) of the CPI Increase (as defined in the following sentence); provided, however, that no such adjustment shall result in any dollar amount being less than the amount set forth on Schedule II. “CPI Increase” shall mean the percentage increase or decrease, if any, that has occurred in the CPI from the calendar month which is sixteen months prior to the calendar month in which the applicable Accounting Period begins to the calendar month which is four months prior to the calendar month in which the applicable Accounting Period begins. (For example, if a CPI Adjustment is being calculated for the Accounting Period that begins January 1, 2009, the CPI Increase would be the percentage increase that has occurred in the CPI from September, 2007 to September, 2008). As so adjusted, such amount will be utilized until the next CPI Adjustment is calculated as of the first day of the next Accounting Period. “CPI” shall mean the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor, U.S. City Average, All Items 1982-1984=100, or any successor thereto appropriately adjusted. If the Consumer Price Index ceases to be published, and there is no successor thereto, such other index as the Owners reasonably agree upon (or, if they cannot so agree, such other index as the Independent Expert shall determine in accordance with Section 14.16), as appropriately adjusted, shall be substituted for the Consumer Price Index.
