CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of the 22nd day of January, 2008, by and among Bala Cynwyd Associates, L.P. a Pennsylvania limited partnership, formerly known as Bala Cynwyd Associates (“BCA”), City Line Associates, a Pennsylvania limited partnership (“CLA”), Ronald Rubin, George Rubin, (collectively with Ronald Rubin, the “Rubins”), Joseph Coradino (“Coradino”), Leonard Shore (“Shore”) and Lewis Stone (“Stone”) (the Rubins, together with Coradino, Shore and Stone, are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Individuals”), Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust, an unincorporated association in business trust form created under Pennsylvania law pursuant to a Trust Agreement dated December 27, 1960, as last amended and restated on December 16, 1997 (“PREIT”); PREIT Associates, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “UPREIT”) and PR Cherry Hill Office GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PR GP”).

Background

CLA and CBS Broadcasting Inc., formerly known as CBS Inc. (“CBS”) are the sole partners in BCA. Each of CLA and CBS own equal interests in BCA/CH LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that is the sole general partner of BCA (“BCA GP”). BCA owns an office building known as 40 Monument Road, Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania (the “Bala Property”). The Individuals constitute all of the partners in CLA.

BCA has entered into an Exchange Agreement dated as of August 17, 2007, as amended (the “Exchange Agreement”) with One Cherry Hill Corp., a New Jersey corporation (“CH Corp.”) pursuant to which BCA has agreed to convey the Bala Property to CH Corp. in exchange for the conveyance by CH Corp. to BCA of an office building known as One Cherry Hill Plaza, Cherry Hill, New Jersey (the “Cherry Hill Property”) plus cash and/or a note equal to the difference in the agreed values between the Bala Property and the Cherry Hill Property (such transaction, the “Exchange”). The Exchange Agreement values the Bala Property at $19,500,000, subject to adjustment if a lease with AXA Equitable Life Assurance Society (“AXA”) is not renewed upon terms specified in the Exchange Agreement, and values the Cherry Hill Property at $15,300,000. The Exchange Agreement requires that each of the Bala Property and the Cherry Hill Property be exchanged free and clear of all debt and monetary encumbrances.

The Cherry Hill Property is physically located within the boundaries of the Cherry Hill Mall, a first class regional mall owned indirectly by PREIT in Cherry Hill, New Jersey (the “Mall”). PREIT is in the process of a substantial renovation, upgrade and expansion of the Mall and believes that it is in PREIT’s best interest to control the Cherry Hill Property in connection with its redevelopment of the Mall.

BCA has entered into an agreement with CBS (the “Redemption Agreement”), contingent upon closing occurring under the Exchange Agreement, to redeem CBS’s interest in BCA, including CBS’s interest in BCA GP, at the First Closing, such redemption to be for a consideration paid in cash and/or by assignment of a note from CH Corp. The redemption of CBS’s interest in BCA will be a condition of the UPREIT’s obligation to close under this Agreement.

The UPREIT and the PR GP have agreed to make capital contributions to BCA in exchange for interests in BCA, the Rubins, Coradino and Shore have agreed to contribute their

Table of Contents

9.2 Indemnification by PREIT. The UPREIT and PREIT shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless CLA and each Individual against and in respect of any and all Damages arising out of, based upon or otherwise in respect of: (a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of PREIT or the UPREIT made in or pursuant to this Agreement; and (b) any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or obligation of PREIT or the UPREIT contained in this Agreement.

9.3 Limitation. No party may assert a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 9 unless the First Closing has occurred under this Agreement.

9.4 Procedure For Indemnification – Third-Party Claims.

(a) Within thirty (30) days after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any proceeding against it to which the indemnification in this Section 9 relates, such indemnified party shall, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under Section 9, give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such proceeding, but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party, except to the extent that the indemnifying party, demonstrates that the defense of such proceeding is materially prejudiced by the indemnified party’s failure to give such notice.

(b) If any proceeding referred to in paragraph (a) above is brought against an indemnified party and it gives notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such proceeding, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in such proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the indemnifying party is also a party to such proceeding and the indemnified party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, or (ii) the indemnifying party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the indemnified party of its financial capacity to defend such proceeding and provide indemnification with respect to such proceeding), to assume the defense of such proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such proceeding, the indemnifying party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the indemnified party under Section 9 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such proceeding, in each case subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense of such proceeding, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a proceeding, (A) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that proceeding are within the scope of and subject to indemnification; (B) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party’s consent unless (l) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law by the indemnified party (or any affiliate thereof) or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the indemnified party, and (2) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party. The indemnified party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of the claims underlying such proceeding effected without its consent. If notice is given to an indemnifying party of the commencement of any proceeding and the indemnifying party does not, within ten days after the indemnified party’s notice is given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such proceeding, the indemnifying party will be bound by any determination made in such proceeding or any compromise or settlement effected by the indemnified party.

 

22


Table of Contents

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a proceeding may adversely affect it or its affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnified party may, with respect to those issues, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such proceeding, but the indemnifying party will not be bound by any determination of a proceeding so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent.

9.5 Procedure for Indemnification—Other Claims. A claim for any matter not involving a third party claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought.

9.6 Right of Set-Off. PREIT and the UPREIT shall have the right to set-off, against any payments to be made by the UPREIT or any Class A Units to be issued by the UPREIT at the Second Closing or the Third Closing, any amount owed to any PREIT Indemnitee provided, however, such set off shall be as to the Individuals severally, with respect to Damages chargeable to such Individual. To the extent that an Individual contests an indemnification claim of PREIT or the UPREIT that would be the basis for the exercise of a right to set off against any payments or Class A Units owed to an Individual, the UPREIT shall pay such amount or issue such Class A Units and deposit them with an escrow agent reasonably satisfactory to the UPREIT and the Individuals until the earlier to occur of (i) resolution of such dispute by a final nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) the mutual agreement of the Individuals and the UPREIT that such units should be released from escrow.

9.7 Indemnification Payments. The Individuals shall be entitled to use cash or Class A Units to make indemnification payments hereunder. In the event Class A Units are used, each such Unit shall be valued based on the per share Value (as defined in the UPREIT Partnership Agreement) of a PREIT Share as of the date such Unit is tendered to PREIT as an indemnification payment hereunder.

9.8 Representative. The Individuals hereby appoint George Rubin as their agent and attorney-in-fact to represent each Individual in connection with any claim made hereunder. Said attorney-in-fact shall have full power and authority to compromise claims and give releases on behalf of each Individual.

9.9 Survival. The rights and obligations of the parties set forth in this Section 9 shall survive all Closings.

SECTION 10. TERMINATION AND ABANDONMENT.

10.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated herein may be abandoned at any time prior to the First Closing:

(i) by any party hereto, if the First Closing has not occurred on or before June 30, 2008, or such later date as the parties may mutually agree upon in writing;

(ii) by mutual consent of the UPREIT, PREIT, CLA and the Individuals;

(iii) by PREIT and the UPREIT, if any of the conditions in Section 7.1(a) have not been satisfied as of the First Closing Date or if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes impossible (other than through the failure of PREIT or the UPREIT to comply with

 

23


Table of Contents

its obligations under this Agreement) and PREIT and the UPREIT have not waived all such unsatisfied conditions before termination pursuant to this subparagraph (iii);

(iv) by CLA or any Individual if any of the conditions in Section 7.1(b) have not been satisfied as of the Closing Date or if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes impossible and CLA and the Individuals have not waived all such unsatisfied conditions before termination pursuant to this subparagraph (iv); or

(v) by PREIT pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.6 of this Agreement.

10.2 Procedure for Termination; Effect of Termination. A party terminating this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall give written notice thereof to each other party hereto, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be abandoned without further action by any party and all further obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate; provided, however, that if the reason for such termination is attributable to the willful failure of a party to perform its obligations hereunder, or a willful misrepresentation or breach of warranty, then such party shall reimburse to the other party its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) in connection with this Agreement and the efforts to proceed to closing hereunder.

SECTION 11. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

11.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

(a) All representations and warranties made by the parties in this Agreement and in the certificates, documents and other agreements delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the Closing. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the representations and warranties of the Individuals and the right of the PREIT Indemnitees to indemnification for breach thereof, shall not be affected by any investigation of the Individuals, BCA, CLA or the Cherry Hill Property made by PREIT, the UPREIT or their agents or representatives; and (ii) the representations and warranties of PREIT hereunder, and the right of the Individuals to indemnification for breach thereof, shall not be affected by any investigation of PREIT, the UPREIT or its affiliates made by CLA or the Individuals or their agents or representatives.

11.2 Costs and Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each party shall bear its own expenses in connection herewith.

11.3 Notices. All notices or other communications permitted or required under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sufficiently given if and when hand delivered to the persons set forth below or if sent by documented overnight delivery service or registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by telegram, telex or telecopy, receipt acknowledged, addressed as set forth below or to such other person or persons and/or at such other address or addresses as shall be furnished in writing by any party hereto to the others.
