Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Non-Transferred Assets that are Excluded Assets or Non-Transferred Liabilities that are Excluded Liabilities shall continue to constitute Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities for all other purposes of this Agreement, and any such Non-Transferred Assets that are Spinco Assets or Non-Transferred Liabilities that are Spinco Liabilities shall continue to constitute Spinco Assets or Spinco Liabilities for all other purposes of this Agreement.

In addition, the Transferor Party retaining such Non-Transferred Asset shall, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, treat such Non-Transferred Asset in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Transferee Party to whom such Non-Transferred Asset is to be transferred or assigned, in order to place such Transferee Party in a substantially similar position as if such Non-Transferred Asset had been transferred as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Non-Transferred Asset, including use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such Non-Transferred Asset, is to inure from and after the Effective Time to the Transferee Party.

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

(g) The reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with any such transfers or assignments of Non-Transferred Assets or assumption of Non-Transferred Liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and all recording or similar fees, shall be borne by the party that would have been responsible for such costs and expenses if the transfer, assignment or assumption had occurred at or prior to the Effective Time.

2.6 Novation of Liabilities.

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

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

The parties agree that their respective rights to any access to Information, witnesses and other Persons, the furnishing of notices and documents and other cooperative efforts between the parties contemplated by this Agreement, and the transfer of privileged Information between the parties and members of their respective Groups pursuant to this Agreement, shall not be deemed a waiver of any privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise.

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

(b) GGP agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Spinco Indemnified Parties and each Person, if any, who controls any member of the Spinco Group within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all Liabilities (whether arising before or after the Effective Time) out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a GGP Disclosure Document, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

5.5 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.

(a) Any Liability subject to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Article V, will be net of Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of the Liability or Loss, as applicable. Accordingly, the amount which any party (an “Indemnifying Party”) is

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

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

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

5.6 Procedures for Indemnification of Third Party Claims.

(a) If an Indemnified Party receives written notice that a Person (including any Governmental Authority) that is not a member of GGP Group or Spinco Group has asserted any claim or commenced any Action (collectively, a “Third Party Claim”) that may implicate an Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify pursuant to Sections 5.2, 5.3 or 5.4, or any other Section of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof as promptly as practicable (and no later than twenty (20) days or sooner, if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires) after becoming aware of the Third Party Claim. Such notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail and include copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of an Indemnified Party to provide notice in accordance with this Section 5.6(a) shall not relieve an Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent to which the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to provide notice in accordance with this Section 5.6(a).

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

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

(d) If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending a Third Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnified Party of its election within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from an Indemnified Party as provided in Section 5.6(b), the Indemnified Party may defend the Third Party Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party is conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, information and materials in such Indemnifying Party’s possession or under such Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnified Party.

(e) Without the prior written consent of any Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, no Indemnified Party may settle or compromise, or seek to settle or compromise, any Third Party Claim; provided, however, in the event that the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending a Third Party Claim or fails to notify the Indemnified Party of its election within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party as provided in Section 5.6(b), the Indemnified Party shall have the right to settle or compromise such Third Party Claim in its sole

discretion. Without the prior written consent of any Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, no Indemnifying Party shall consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any pending or threatened Third Party Claim if such Indemnified Party is or could have been a party to the pending or threatened Third Party Claim and could have sought indemnity pursuant to this Section 5.6, unless such judgment or settlement is solely for monetary damages, and provides for a full, unconditional and irrevocable release of that Indemnified Party from all liability in connection with the Third Party Claim.

5.7 Additional Matters.

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

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

(c) If payment is made by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnified Party in connection with any Third Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnified Party as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnified Party may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third Party Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnified Party shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

(d) In an Action in which the Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if either the Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party shall so request, the parties shall endeavor to substitute the Indemnifying Party for the named defendant if they conclude that substitution is desirable and practical. If such substitution or addition cannot be achieved for any reason or is

not requested, the named defendant shall allow the Indemnifying Party to manage the Action as set forth in this Section 5.7(d), and the Indemnifying Party shall fully indemnify the named defendant against all costs of defending the Action (including court costs, sanctions imposed by a court, attorneys’ fees, experts fees and all other external expenses), the costs of any judgment or settlement, and the cost of any interest or penalties relating to any judgment or settlement.

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

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

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

5.10 Guarantees.

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

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

(i) of any member of the GGP Group, Spinco shall execute a guarantee agreement in the form of the existing guarantee or such other form as is agreed to by the relevant parties to such guarantee agreement, except to the extent that such existing

guarantee contains representations, covenants or other terms or provisions either (A) with which Spinco would be reasonably unable to comply or (B) which would be reasonably expected to be breached; and

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

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

ARTICLE VI

6.2 Confidentiality.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, subject to Section 6.2(d) and except as contemplated by or otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, without the prior written consent of Spinco (which may be withheld in Spinco’s sole discretion), GGP shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and officers, directors, employees, and other agents and representatives, including attorneys, agents, customers, suppliers, contractors, consultants and other representatives of any Person providing financing (collectively, “Representatives”), not to, directly or indirectly, disclose, reveal, divulge or communicate to any Person other than Representatives of such party or of its Subsidiaries who reasonably need to know such information to provide services to any member of the GGP Group, or use or otherwise exploit for its own benefit or for the benefit of any third Person, any Spinco Confidential Information. If any disclosures are made in connection with providing services to any member of the GGP Group under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, then the Spinco Confidential Information so disclosed shall be used for the sole purpose of performing such services. GGP shall use the same degree of care to prevent and restrain the unauthorized use or disclosure of the Spinco Confidential Information by any of its Representatives as it currently uses for its own confidential information of a like nature, but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care. For purposes of this Section 6.2(a), any Information, material or document exclusively relating to the Spinco Business that is furnished

to, or in the possession of, GGP, irrespective of the form of communication, and all notes, analyses, compilations, forecasts, data, translations, studies, memoranda or other documents prepared by GGP or its officers, directors and Subsidiaries, that contain or otherwise reflect such information, material or document, is herein referred to as “Spinco Confidential Information.” Spinco Confidential Information does not include, and there shall be no obligation hereunder with respect to, information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public, other than as a result of a disclosure by GGP not otherwise permissible hereunder, (ii) GGP can demonstrate was or became available to GGP from a source other than Spinco or its Subsidiaries or (iii) is developed independently by GGP without reference to the Spinco Confidential Information; provided, however, that, in the case of clause (ii), the source of such information was not known by GGP to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group with respect to such information.

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

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

(d) If GGP or its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, or Spinco or its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, are requested or required (by oral question, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) by any Governmental Authority or pursuant to applicable Law to disclose or provide any Shared Information (applicable to both parties) or Spinco Confidential Information or GGP Confidential Information (as applicable), the Person receiving such request or demand shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the other party with written notice of such request or demand as promptly as practicable under the circumstances so that such other party shall have an opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order. The party receiving such request or demand agrees to take, and cause its representatives to take, at the requesting party’s expense, all other reasonable steps necessary to obtain confidential treatment by the recipient. Subject to the foregoing, the party that received such request or demand may thereafter disclose or provide any Shared Information, Spinco Confidential Information or GGP Confidential Information, as the case may be, to the extent required by such Law (as so advised by counsel) or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority. This Section 6.2(d) shall not apply to any Information furnished pursuant to the provisions of Article IV of this Agreement.

(e) Each of GGP and Spinco acknowledges that it and the other members of its Group may have in their possession confidential or proprietary information of third Persons

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

6.3 Insurance Matters.

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

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

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

(ii) to file claims against GGP’s claims made policies including Directors & Officers, Fiduciary Liability, Employment Practices Liability, Crime, and Pollution Legal Liability coverage in force at the time the claim is made if the act giving rise to the claim occurred prior to the Effective Time;

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

(A) For so long as Spinco may access GGP’s policies, Spinco shall report as promptly as practicable (1) claims under the Workers’ Compensation and Automobile Liability policy directly to the applicable insurance company in accordance with GGP’s claim reporting procedures in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time and provide

copies of such reported claims to GGP’s Corporate Insurance and Risk Management Department and (2) claims under all other insurance policies to the GGP Corporate Insurance Department;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(g) Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.3(i), GGP and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to secure extended reporting for any claims under any of GGP’s or its Subsidiaries’ claims-made or occurrence-reported liability policies for any acts or omissions by any member of the Spinco Group incurred prior to the Effective Time.

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

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

Subject to the terms of the Investment Agreements, GGP shall pay for all out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred by GGP or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time in connection with the Transactions, including (i) the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement, each other Transaction Document (unless

6.5 Litigation; Cooperation.

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

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

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

member of the Spinco Group to be removed from such Third Party Claim, GGP and Spinco shall cooperate and consult to the extent necessary or advisable with respect to such Third Party Claim.

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

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

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

6.6 Tax Matters. GGP and Spinco shall enter into the Tax Matters Agreement on or prior to the Plan Effective Date. To the extent any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements between the parties with respect to Taxes or other matters are set forth in the Tax Matters Agreement, such Taxes and other matters shall be governed exclusively by the Tax Matters Agreement and not by this Agreement.

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

6.8 Real Estate Agreements. GGP and Spinco shall enter into the Real Estate Agreements on or prior to the Plan Effective Date.

ARTICLE VII

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

7.1 General Provisions.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

7.3 Arbitration.

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

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

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

below is requested, the hearing(s) will be expedited in accordance with any order entered by the court, tribunal or special arbitrator adjudicating that request.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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