     2.2 Initial Consideration

          (a) On the Principal Closing Date, assuming satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VI and subject to adjustment as provided in this Article II, Forest City will cause the recipients of any BCR Contributed Interests or FCE Contributed Interests to:

          (i) issue to the contributors of the BCR Contributed Interests an aggregate of 3,894,232 Class A Initial Common Units of Master III (as defined in the Master III Operating Agreement);

          (ii) issue to the contributors of the FCE Contributed Interests an aggregate of 7,277,171 Class B Common Units of Master III (as defined in the Master III Operating Agreement); and

          (iii) admit the contributors of the BCR Contributed Interests and the FCE Contributed Interests to Master III as additional members of Master III.

The Class A Initial Common Units of Master III being delivered to the BCR Entities and BCR Individuals at the Principal Closing are sometimes referred to as “Class A Initial Common Units,” and the Class B Common Units of Master III being delivered to the FCE Entities at the Principal Closing are sometimes referred to as “Class B Initial Common Units”. The Class A Initial Common Units and the Class B Initial Common Units are collectively referred to as the “Initial Units.”

          (b) On the Principal Closing Date, assuming satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VI (including the delivery of the items required by Sections 6.1(a) and 6.1(d)) and subject to adjustment as provided in this Article II, Forest City will cause the entity or entities acquiring the BCR Sold Interests to deliver to the appropriate BCR Entities and BCR Individuals, as consideration for the BCR Sold Interests, an aggregate of Forty Six Million Three Hundred Thirty Five Thousand Five Hundred and Thirty One Dollars ($46,335,531), payable in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank accounts designated by the BCR Entities in writing to Forest City at least three (3) days prior to the Principal Closing Date; provided, however, that a portion of the cash consideration payable to RRG Xxxxxx Office, LLC in the amount of Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($10,500,000) will be payable on January 2, 2007.

          (c) The cash and the Units to be delivered in connection with the Principal Closing are collectively referred to as the “Consideration.” The Consideration will be issued or paid, as the case may be, among the specific BCR Contributed Interests, BCR Sold Interests and FCE Contributed Interests in accordance with Schedules P-5B (Service Company Transfers), P-6A (BCR Contributed Interests in Operating Properties), P-6B (BCR Sold Interests in Operating Properties) and P-6C (FCE Contributed Interests in Operating Properties).

          (d) If less than all of the BCR Transferred Interests and FCE Contributed Interests related to the Operating Properties or Service Companies are included in the Principal Closing, the amount of cash to be contributed to Master III by Forest City, and the Consideration to be delivered in connection with the Principal Closing, will be reduced by the sum of the amounts set forth on Schedules P-5B (Service Company Transfers), P-6A (BCR Contributed

9

Interests in Operating Properties), P-6B (BCR Sold Interests in Operating Properties) and P-6C (FCE Contributed Interests in Operating Properties) opposite the names of the excluded Contributed Interests or as otherwise agreed between Forest City and the BCR Entities.

     2.3 Stabilization of Development Properties.

          (a) Intentionally omitted.

          (b) As used herein, the term “Stabilization Date” means the later of (i) the first day of the February immediately following the earlier of (A) the first calendar quarter in which at least ninety percent (90%) of the leaseable area of the Development Property is rented and occupied and (B) the third (3rd) anniversary of the “grand opening” of the Development Property, (ii) the date on which each of the consents set forth on Schedule 1.2B with respect to the relevant Development Property (to the extent such consents are still required under the applicable agreement with such parties) have been obtained by the BCR Entities and (iii) the date on which the conditions precedent to Forest City’s obligation to consummate the transactions related to the Development Property set forth in Sections 6.1(e) and 6.1(f), and the conditions precedent to the BCR Entities’ and BCR Individuals’ obligations to consummate the transactions related to the Development Property set forth in Sections 6.2(f) and 6.2(g), have been satisfied.

          (c) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Stabilized Net Operating Income” of any Development Property will mean the stabilized net operating income of the Development Property calculated, to the extent practicable, on the same basis as was used in the determination of net operating income for purposes of ascertaining the amount of Consideration payable under Section 2.2, as outlined in Schedule 2.3(c), which sets forth the adjustments made and steps followed in determining net operating income and net asset value for such purposes.

          (d) Promptly (and in no event later than thirty (30) days) after the Stabilization Date of each Development Property, the BCR Representative will give FCEI written notice (the “Stabilization Notice”) that the Stabilization Date has occurred with respect to such Development Property and provide FCEI with (i) a spreadsheet showing the calculation of Stabilized Net Operating Income of the related Development Property and (ii) the BCR Representative’s computation of the stabilized value of the Development Property (the “Stabilized Value”). To the extent practicable, Stabilized Value will be determined on the same basis as was used in determining net asset value for purposes of ascertaining the amount of Consideration payable under Section 2.2, as outlined in Schedule 2.3(c).

          (e) No later than thirty (30) days after delivery of the Stabilization Notice, FCEI and the BCR Representative will meet (either telephonically or in person) to attempt in good faith to agree upon the Stabilized Value of the Development Property. The terms, supporting documentation and discussions between FCEI and the BCR Representative with respect to Stabilized Value, including the BCR Representative’s computation of Stabilized Value in the Stabilization Notice, may not be shared with any third party (other than on a confidential basis to counsel, accountants and other advisors in connection with the performance of this Section 2.3), including any arbitrator appointed pursuant to this Section 2.3(e), without the prior written consent of both FCEI and the BCR Representative, which consent may be withheld in a party’s sole discretion. If FCEI and the BCR Representative are unable, within sixty (60) days

10

after delivery of the Stabilization Notice, to agree upon the Stabilized Value of the Development Property, either party at any time following such sixtieth (60^th) day may notify the other party (an “Appraisal Notice”) that it desires to refer the dispute to an arbitrator for resolution. FCEI and the BCR Representative will attempt in good faith to agree upon an arbitrator for the determination of the Stabilized Value. If they are unable within ten (10) days after delivery of the Appraisal Notice to agree upon an arbitrator, FCEI and the BCR Representative will accept the appointment of an arbitrator selected by the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration proceeding will be subject to the following:

          (i) The arbitrator will be a disinterested person of recognized competence who is an MAI appraiser with at least five (5) years of experience in appraising commercial real estate properties in New York City, New York, or such other locale where the Development Property is located.

          (ii) The arbitrator will, to the extent practicable, determine Stabilized Value on the same basis as was used in determining net asset value for purposes of ascertaining the amount of Consideration payable under Section 2.2, as set forth in Schedule 2.3(c) and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The arbitrator may not consider any position taken by the BCR Representative in the Stabilization Notice nor by either of the parties during the negotiation period following the delivery of the Stabilization Notice unless otherwise instructed by both FCEI and the BCR Representative in writing prior to the engagement of the arbitrator.

          (iii) FCEI and the BCR Representative will each be required to submit a written statement setting forth its or his position on the issues in dispute and any information outlined in Schedule 2.3(c) that was used by the party submitting such statement to calculate Stabilized Net Operating Income. The parties will submit such statements within ten (10) days following the appointment of the arbitrator. No party will be able to review the other party’s statement until after it has submitted its own statement to the arbitrator. The arbitrator may, in his or her sole discretion, conduct a hearing at which FCEI and the BCR Representative are given an opportunity to present further evidence and answer questions. Unless otherwise agreed by FCEI and the BCR Representative, any such hearing will take place in New York, New York.

          (iv) The arbitrator must select either FCEI’s or the BCR Representative’s determination of Stabilized Value as submitted to the arbitrator in FCEI’s or the BCR Representative’s Arbitration Statement.

          (v) The arbitrator will render his or her decision as soon as practicable (and in no event later than forty-five (45) days after his or her appointment) and will deliver such decision to both FCEI and the BCR Representative.

          (vi) Forest City and the BCR Entities will each pay one half (1/2) of the fees and reimbursable expenses of the arbitrator.

11

          (vii) Subject to Section 2.3(f) below, the determination by the arbitrator will be final and binding on Master III, FCEI, the FCE Entities, the BCR Individuals and the BCR Entities.

          (viii) Issues other than the Stabilized Value of the Development Property will not, unless otherwise agreed by FCEI and the BCR Representatives, be submitted to the arbitrator for resolution, but will be resolved in accordance with Section 10.10.

          (f) At any time after the sixtieth (60^th) day after delivery of the Stabilization Notice but before the end of the tenth (10^th) day following delivery by the arbitrator of its decision, FCEI or the BCR Representative may, in its sole discretion, elect to solicit a bona fide third-party offer to purchase the Development Property (or, if Forest City and the BCR Entities do not have the right to cause the sale of the Development Property, the Interests of the applicable Development Property Joint Venture (as defined in Section 2.3(g)(iv)) in the relevant Development Property Owner), provided the party electing to solicit such offer delivers to the other party a written notice of such election. For the avoidance of doubt, the existence of any right of first refusal, right of first offer or “due on sale” provision in any partnership agreement or loan document affecting a Development Property will not be deemed to be an impediment to the sale of a Development Property. If either FCEI or the BCR Representative elects to solicit a bona fide third-party offer, the arbitration process contemplated by Section 2.3(e) will immediately terminate. Any such bona fide third-party offer must be received, with a copy delivered to both FCEI and the BCR Representative, within one hundred twenty (120) days after delivery of the notice of the election to solicit a bona fide third-party offer. Regardless of which party elects to solicit the bona fide offer, the BCR Representative will be the party actually pursuing the bona fide offer. Any such bona fide offer must be in a writing signed by the offeror, must set forth the price and other principal terms of the acquisition of the Development Property (or Interest of the Development Property Joint Venture in the relevant Development Property Owner), and must be supported by evidence, reasonably satisfactory to the parties, demonstrating that the third party has sufficient financing or access to financing to acquire the Development Property (or Interest of the Development Property Joint Venture in the relevant Development Property Owner). If a bona fide third-party offer meeting these criteria is not received within such one hundred twenty (120) day period, the Stabilized Value of the Development Property determined by the arbitrator will be final and binding on Master III, FCEI, the FCE Entities, the BCR Individuals and the BCR Entities; if the arbitration process had been terminated prior to delivery by the arbitrator of its decision, FCEI and the BCR Representative will recommence the arbitration process and proceed with the arbitration until a decision is delivered. If a bona fide third-party offer meeting these criteria is received within such one hundred twenty (120) day period, the price set forth in the bona fide third-party offer will be the Stabilized Value of the Development Property and will be binding on Master III, FCEI, the FCE Entities, the BCR Individuals and the BCR Entities.

          (g) Once the Stabilized Value for the relevant Development Property has been determined, Forest City will elect, at its sole discretion, one of the following options, which election (subject to subsection (ii) below) will be final and binding on Master III, FCEI, the FCE Entities, the BCR Individuals and the BCR Entities:

12

          (i) to cause the relevant BCR Entities, BCR Individuals and FCE Entities to proceed with the contribution of the applicable BCR Contributed Interests and FCE Contributed Interests to Master III, and, to the extent applicable, the sale of the relevant BCR Sold Interests to the appropriate entity identified on Schedule P-7C (BCR Sold Interests in Development Properties), in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the following:

          (A) On the Stabilization Closing Date of the relevant Development Property, (i) Master III will issue (A) Class A Additional Common Units (as defined in the Master III Operating Agreement) (the “Class A Additional Common Units”) to the BCR Entity and/or BCR Individual contributing the BCR Contributed Interests related to the relevant Development Property Owner to Master III and (B) Class B Common Units (the Class B Units issued on any Stabilization Closing Date, together with the Class A Additional Common Units, the “Additional Units”) to the FCE Entity contributing the FCE Contributed Interests in the relevant Development Property Owner to Master III and (ii) Master III will cause the operating agreement or partnership agreement for the relevant Development Property Owner to be amended and restated in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-1. The Class A Initial Common Units and the Class A Additional Common Units are collectively referred to as the “BCR Units.” The BCR Units and the Class B Common Units are collectively referred to as the “Units.” Each actual date on which Master III issues Additional Units will be deemed the “Stabilization Closing Date” for the related Development Property and the issuance of Additional Units by Master III on each Stabilization Closing Date will be the “Development Property Closing” with respect to the applicable Development Property.

          (B) The value attributable to each BCR Contributed Interest in the related Development Property will be the product of (s) the Stabilized Value multiplied by (t) the BCR Contributed Interest (expressed as a decimal to four (4) decimal places) as set forth on Schedule P-7A (BCR Contributed Interests in Development Properties), the value attributable to any BCR Sold Interest in the related Development Property will be the product of (u) the Stabilized Value multiplied by (v) each BCR Sold Interest (expressed as a decimal to four (4) decimal places) as set forth in Schedule P-7C (BCR Sold Interests in Development Properties), and the value attributable to the FCE Contributed Interest in the related Development Property will be the sum of (i) the product of (w) the Stabilized Value multiplied by (x) the FCE Contributed Interest (expressed as a decimal to four (4) places) as set forth in Schedule P-7B (FCE Contributed Interests in Development Properties) and (ii) the product of (y) the value of the applicable FCE Entity’s preferred capital in such Development Property Joint Venture multiplied by (z) such FCE Contributed Interests (expressed as a decimal to four (4) places) in the Development Property as set forth in Schedule P-7B (FCE Contributed Interests in Development Properties).

          (C) The number of Class A Additional Common Units to be delivered to the BCR Entities and BCR Individuals in connection with the

13

stabilization of the Development Property will equal the quotient of (i) the value attributable to the BCR Contributed Interests in the related Development Property divided by (ii) the average of the closing prices of Class A Common Stock of FCEI (“FCEI Stock”) as reported by the New York Stock Exchange for each of the twenty (20) days on which trading in such stock was reported immediately prior to the Stabilization Date (or such other price as may be agreed to in writing by the parties). The number of Class B Common Units to be delivered to the FCE Entity in connection with the stabilization of the Development Property will equal the quotient of (i) the value attributable to the FCE Contributed Interest in the related Development Property divided by (ii) such average of the closing prices of the FCEI Stock (or such other price that may be agreed to in writing by the parties).

          (ii) to cause Master III to purchase the relevant BCR Transferred Interests from the relevant BCR Entity and/or BCR Individual for an amount of cash equal to the sum of the product of the Stabilized Value of such Development Property multiplied by each BCR Transferred Interest (expressed as a decimal to four (4) decimal places) as set forth on Schedule P-7A (BCR Contributed Interests in Development Properties) and P-7C (BCR Sold Interests in Development Properties), and on other terms and conditions as are reasonably satisfactory to Forest City and the BCR Representative or, in the case that the Stabilized Value of the applicable Development Property was determined pursuant to a bona fide third-party offer, are substantially the same as those set forth in the third-party offer, and Forest City will cooperate with the relevant BCR Entity and/or BCR Individual to conduct a “like-kind” exchange of such BCR Transferred Interests in accordance with Section 1031 of the Code, or other tax efficient structure, provided there is no incremental cost to Forest City in connection with such an exchange. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a “like kind” exchange resulting in deferral income taxes to such BCR Entity and/or BCR Individual cannot be effected, in the reasonable judgment of the BCR Representative, the BCR Representative may override Forest City’s election with respect to all or any portion of such BCR Transferred Interests to pursue the option set forth in this Section 2.3(g)(ii) and instead pursue the option set forth in Section 2.3(g)(iv) with respect to all or any portion of the BCR Transferred Interests as elected by the BCR Representative in its sole discretion, except that the “Continuation Option” (as defined in the operating agreement or partnership agreement for each Development Property Joint Venture) will not be deemed to have occurred in the event the BCR Representative elects to pursue the option set forth in Section 2.3(g)(iv) in accordance with this Section 2.3(g)(ii). If the BCR Representative elects to override Forest City’s election to pursue the option set forth in this Section 2.3(g)(ii) only with respect to a portion of the relevant BCR Transferred Interests, prior to the purchase of such BCR Transferred Interests, to the extent requested by the relevant BCR Entities, members or partners of such BCR Entities will be admitted to the relevant Development Property Joint Venture as substitute partners or members for an aggregate interest equal to the portion of the BCR Transferred Interests that are acquired in accordance with this Section 2.3(g)(ii), so that such BCR Transferred Interests will be acquired directly from such substitute members or partners rather than the BCR Entities;

14

          (iii) in the case of a bona fide third-party offer, to cause the relevant Development Property Owner to proceed with the sale of the Development Property to the third party according to the terms contained in the bona fide third-party offer (or more favorable terms), or, if Forest City and the BCR Entities do not have the right to cause the sale of the Development Property, to cause the relevant Development Property Joint Venture to proceed with the sale of its Interests in the relevant Development Property Owner. Forest City and the relevant BCR Entity and BCR Individual will cooperate to conduct a “like-kind” exchange of such Development Property (or if applicable, Interests in a Development Property Joint Venture) in accordance with Section 1031 of the Code, or other tax efficient structure, provided there is no incremental cost to either Forest City, the relevant BCR Entity, the relevant BCR Individual or the relevant Development Property Owner in connection with such an exchange or other structure. Forest City will not be entitled to elect the option set forth in this Section 2.3(g)(iii) if the Stabilized Value of the applicable Development Property (or, if applicable, Interests in a Development Property Joint Venture) was determined by an agreement of the parties under Section 2.3(e); or

          (iv) to cause the Development Property to remain directly or indirectly owned by the relevant joint venture between the BCR Entity and/or BCR Individuals and the FCE Entity (the “Development Property Joint Venture”), subject to the terms and conditions contained in the organization documents for such Development Property Joint Venture (including, without limitation, the “buy-sell” option in favor of the BCR Entity following the fifth anniversary of the Stabilization Closing Date), and the “Continuation Option” (as defined in the operating or partnership agreement for each Development Property Joint Venture) will be deemed to have occurred.

Notwithstanding the above, if a BCR Entity elects to solicit a bona fide third-party offer to determine the Stabilized Value for the relevant Development Property pursuant to Section 2.3(f) above, the BCR Entities will be deemed to have consented to pursuing option (iii) above (the sale of the Development Property to a third party) if Forest City desires to sell such Development Property to a third party, and regardless of the ability to perform a Section 1031 of the Code “like-kind” exchange or the existence of incremental costs in connection with such exchange. Similarly, if Forest City elects to solicit a bona fide third-party offer to determine the Stabilized Value for the relevant Development Property pursuant to Section 2.3(f) above, Forest City will be deemed to have consented to pursuing option (iii) above (the sale of the Development Property to a third party) if the BCR Entities desire to sell such Development Property to a third party, and regardless of the ability to perform a Section 1031 of the Code “like-kind” exchange or the existence of incremental costs in connection with such exchange.

In the event that Forest City has not elected one of the options set forth in Sections 2.3(g)(i) through (iv) within twenty (20) days following the determination of Stabilized Value, the BCR Representative will provide written notice to Forest City of the expiration of such twenty (20) day period. In the event Forest City does not elect one of the options set forth in Sections 2.3(g)(i) through (iv) within five (5) days of receiving such notice from the BCR Representative, Forest City will be deemed to have elected the option set forth in Section 2.3(g)(iv) with respect to the relevant Development Property. The options described in Section 2.3(g)(i), Section 2.3(g)(ii) or Section 2.3(g)(iii) will occur as soon as commercially practicable after the

15

determination of Stabilized Value (whether pursuant to Section 2.3(e) or Section 2.3(f)), but in no event, (A) with respect to the option described in Section 2.3(g)(i) or Section 2.3(g)(ii), more than thirty (30) days following the determination of Stabilized Value and (B) with respect to the option set forth in Section 2.3(g)(iii), more than ninety (90) days following the determination of Stabilized Value.

In the event that Forest City elects the option set forth in Section 2.3(g)(i), Forest City, the BCR Entities and the BCR Individuals acknowledge that Forest City may obtain, at Forest City’s sole discretion and at its expense, an opinion from a financial advisor stating that the market price of the FCEI Stock as of the relevant Stabilization Closing Date reasonably reflects the fair market value of the FCEI Stock as of such date. Forest City will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such an opinion within twenty (20) days of the date on which Forest City notifies the BCR Entities of its election to pursue the option set forth in Section 2.3(g)(i). In the event that Forest City seeks, but is not able to obtain, an opinion from a financial advisor within such twenty (20) day period, Forest City will elect either the option set forth in Section 2.3(g)(ii) or the option set forth in Section 2.3(g)(iv) with respect to the relevant Development Property.

With respect to any payments of cash consideration by Master III as the result of the election of the option set forth in Section 2.3(g)(i) or Section 2.3(g)(ii), Forest City will contribute to Master III an amount of cash, payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account maintained by Master III, sufficient to pay such cash consideration to the BCR Entities and BCR Individuals in connection with such election.

          (h) Prior to the relevant Stabilization Closing Date, and subject to Section 2.3(k), each of the Development Properties will continue to be owned by a single purpose entity and the Interests of each of the FCE Entities and BCR Entities in each Development Property will not be modified in any way except as may be agreed to by both parties.

          (i) The development project referred to as Xxxxxxx Street Residential Tower (“Xxxxxxx”) is owned in part by (i) certain of the FCE Entities, (ii) certain of the BCR Entities and (iii) certain affiliates of FCEI and the BCR Entities whose interests in such project are not Contributed Interests. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (y) the Stabilization Date for Xxxxxxx means the later of (A) the first day of the February immediately following the earlier of (1) the first calendar quarter in which at least ninety percent (90%) of the rental units of Xxxxxxx are rented and occupied and (2) the fourth (4^th) anniversary of the “grand opening” of the rental portion of Xxxxxxx and (B) the date on which the conditions precedent to Forest City’s obligation to consummate the transactions related to Xxxxxxx set forth in Sections 6.1(e) and 6.1(f), and the conditions precedent to the BCR Entities’ and BCR Individuals’ obligations to consummate the transactions related to Xxxxxxx set forth in Sections 6.2(f) and 6.2(g), have been satisfied, and (z) the determination of Stabilized Value for Xxxxxxx will be the Stabilized Value of the rental portion of Xxxxxxx.

          (j) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any Development Property that is developed in two or more phases, (i) each phase must be capable of being financed separately and, prior to the Stabilization Date for the first phase, each phase must be owned by a separate Development Property Owner, unless otherwise agreed by Forest City and the relevant BCR Entity, with the right to cross-collateralize and cross-default, (ii) each phase will be treated as if it is a separate Development Property and have its own

16

Stabilization Date and Stabilized Value determined in accordance with this Section 2.3, (iii) in determining Stabilized Value for each phase, project costs allocable to multiple phases will be allocated among such phases in a manner agreed to by both Forest City and the relevant BCR Entity, (iv) each phase will be valued and treated in accordance with this Section 2.3 at such time as such phase has reached a Stabilization Date and (v) the aggregate value of the Additional Units and any additional consideration that may be payable with respect to each phase will equal the Stabilized Value for such phase.

          (k) The parties intend to separately develop a portion of the Operating Property referred to as 10 Metrotech Center (a/k/a 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx) abutting DeKalb Avenue (“80 DeKalb”). Accordingly, the parties have applied for the creation of a separate tax lot for 80 DeKalb. Upon satisfaction or waiver of any applicable conditions for a release of 80 DeKalb from the Continuing Loan affecting 10 Metrotech Center and upon attainment of a permanent separate tax lot for 80 Dekalb, the parties will cooperate to facilitate the treatment of 80 DeKalb as a Development Property in a tax efficient manner that is owned by a separate Development Property Owner. All costs in connection with obtaining the separate tax lot and developing 80 DeKalb will be borne by the FCE Entity that is a member of the new Development Property Owner and be credited to the capital account of such FCE Entity in such new Development Property Owner. The terms of the limited liability company operating agreement of the new Development Property Owner for 80 DeKalb will be in the form of Exhibit G-2 to this Agreement. The parties will use good faith efforts to agree upon a feasible development project for 80 DeKalb prior to the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Principal Closing Date. If, during such three (3) year period, the parties are able to agree upon a feasible development project for 80 DeKalb, the parties will proceed to complete such development, and upon the Stabilization Date for such Development Property, same will be treated in a manner similar to the other Development Properties as described in this Section 2.3. If, notwithstanding such good faith efforts, the parties are unable to agree upon a feasible development project for 80 DeKalb, the value for 80 DeKalb will be determined in accordance with the process described in Section 2.3(e) and Section 2.3(f) (the “80 DeKalb Value”). Once the 80 DeKalb Value has been determined, Forest City will elect, at its sole discretion, one of the options set forth in Section 2.3(g).

ARTICLE III

TITLE AND
OTHER PROPERTY RELATED MATTERS

     3.1 Title to the Properties.

          (a) The BCR Entities have made available to Forest City for review the title policies listed on Schedule 3.1(a) with respect to each of the Operating Properties (each, an “Existing Title Policy,” and collectively, “Existing Title Policies”).

          (b) The BCR Entities have obtained, and have made available to Forest City for review, the title commitments issued by Fidelity National Title Insurance Company and the title certifications issued by New York Land Services identified on Schedule 3.1(b) with respect to each of the Operating Properties (each, a “New Title Commitment,” and collectively, the

17

“New Title Commitments”). Forest City and the BCR Entities acknowledge that all of the exceptions identified in the Existing Title Policies and the New Title Commitments are acceptable to them and require no adjustment in the Consideration to be delivered under this Agreement.

          (c) If, prior to the Principal Closing, any lien, restriction, security interest or other encumbrance of record (each, an “Encumbrance”) is discovered with respect to any Operating Property (i) that is not reflected in the Existing Title Policy or New Title Commitment for such Operating Property and (ii) for which a tenant is responsible under the terms of the lease or other binding obligation of the tenant to the related Property Owner, notwithstanding the existence of such Encumbrance, the Operating Property will be included in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without any delay in the Principal Closing, adjustment in the Consideration to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement or liability or claim post-Closing under the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VIII, provided that the tenant still occupies all or any portion of the premises covered by the lease on the Principal Closing Date. If the tenant does not occupy the premises on the Principal Closing Date, the value of the Consideration to be delivered to the BCR Entities and BCR Individuals related to such Property Owner will be decreased by the product of (A) the BCR Transferred Interests in the Operating Property (expressed as a decimal to four (4) decimal places) as indicated on Schedules P-6A (BCR Contributed Interests in Operating Properties) and P-6B (BCR Sold Interests in Operating Properties) and (B) the amount of the Encumbrance, if the Encumbrance is monetary, or the amount by which the Encumbrance diminishes the value of the Operating Property (as set forth on Schedule P-6A (BCR Contributed Interests in Operating Properties), Schedule P-6B (BCR Sold Interests in Operating Properties) and P-6C (FCE Contributed Interests in Operating Properties)), if the Encumbrance is not monetary, and the value of the Class B Common Units to be delivered to the FCE Entities related to such Property Owner will be decreased by the product of (A) the FCE Contributed Interests in the Operating Property (expressed as a decimal to four (4) decimal places) as indicated on Schedule P-6C (FCE Contributed Interests in Operating Properties) and (B) the amount of the Encumbrance, if the Encumbrance is monetary, or the amount by which the Encumbrance diminishes the value of the Operating Property (as set forth on Schedule P-6A (BCR Contributed Interests in Operating Properties), Schedule P-6B (BCR Sold Interests in Operating Properties) and P-6C (FCE Contributed Interests in Operating Properties)), if the Encumbrance is not monetary. For purposes of this Section 3.1(c), the amount by which a non-monetary Encumbrance diminishes the value of an Operating Property will be determined by an arbitrator in accordance with the arbitration process set forth in Section 2.3(e). In no case will the reduction in the value of the Consideration payable to the BCR Entities and/or BCR Individuals, on the one hand, or the FCE Entities, on the other hand, with respect to any specific Operating Property exceed the aggregate value of the BCR Transferred Interests or FCE Contributed Interests (as applicable) related to such Property as set forth on Schedules P-6A (BCR Contributed Interests in Operating Properties), P-6B (BCR Sold Interests in Operating Properties) and P-6C (FCE Contributed Interests in Operating Properties). Any reduction in Consideration payable to the BCR Entities and/or BCR Individuals pursuant to this Section 3.1(c) will be allocated between Consideration and BCR Units on a pro rata basis relative to the amount of cash and BCR Units initially scheduled to be delivered to the BCR Entities with respect to the relevant Operating Property. If, after the Principal Closing Date, the Encumbrance is removed other than at the expense of the relevant Property Owner, Master III or other relevant entity will deliver the cash Consideration and/or issue the BCR Units to the BCR

18

Entities and/or BCR Individuals (as applicable) and/or issue Class B Initial Common Units to the FCE Entities not delivered or issued at the Principal Closing pursuant to this Section 3.1(c), and Master III will pay the Class A Distribution Preference and the Class B Distribution Amount (as defined in the Master III Operating Agreement) that would have been payable with respect to any such Units in accordance with the terms of the Master III Operating Agreement if such Units had been issued on the Principal Closing Date. With respect to any payments of cash consideration by Master III in connection with this Section 3.1(c), Forest City will contribute to Master III an amount of cash, payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account maintained by Master III, sufficient to pay such cash consideration to the BCR Entities and BCR Individuals pursuant to this Section 3.1(c).

          (d) If, prior to the Principal Closing, the relevant BCR Entity breaches the covenant contained in Section 4.4(c) or any Encumbrance (other than an Encumbrance subject to Section 3.1(c)) is discovered with respect to such Operating Property that is not reflected in the Existing Title Policy or New Title Commitment for such Operating Property, the value of the Consideration to be delivered to the BCR Entities and/or BCR Individuals related to such Operating Property will be decreased by the product of (A) the BCR Transferred Interests in the Operating Property (expressed as a decimal to four (4) decimal places) as indicated on Schedules P-6A (BCR Contributed Interests in Operating Properties) and P-6B (BCR Sold Interests in Operating Properties) and (B) the amount of the Encumbrance, if the Encumbrance is monetary, or the amount by which the Encumbrance diminishes the value of the Operating Property (as set forth on Schedule P-6A (BCR Contributed Interests in Operating Properties), Schedule P-6B (BCR Sold Interests in Operating Properties) and P-6C (FCE Contributed Interests in Operating Properties)), if the Encumbrance is not monetary. If, after the Principal Closing Date, such Encumbrance is removed other than at the expense of the relevant Property Owner, Master III or other relevant entity will deliver the cash Consideration and/or issue the BCR Units to the BCR Entities and/or BCR Individuals (as applicable) not delivered or issued at the Principal Closing pursuant to this Section 3.1(d), and Master III will pay the Class A Distribution Preference that would have been payable with respect to any such BCR Units in accordance with the terms of the Master III Operating Agreement if such BCR Units had been issued on the Principal Closing Date. With respect to any payments of cash consideration by Master III in connection with this Section 3.1(d), Forest City will contribute to Master III an amount of cash, payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account maintained by Master III, sufficient to pay such cash consideration to the BCR Entities and BCR Individuals pursuant to this Section 3.1(d). In no case will the reduction in the value of the Consideration payable to the BCR Entities and/or BCR Individuals with respect to any specific Operating Property exceed the aggregate value of the BCR Transferred Interests related to such Operating Property as set forth on Schedules P-6A (BCR Contributed Interests in Operating Properties) and P-6B (BCR Sold Interests in Operating Properties). Any reduction in Consideration payable to the BCR Entities and/or BCR Individuals pursuant to this Section 3.1(d) will be allocated between Consideration and BCR Units on a pro rata basis relative to the amount of cash and BCR Units initially scheduled to be delivered to the BCR Entities with respect to the relevant Operating Property.

          (e) Forest City acknowledges that it will not be entitled to exclude any Operating Property from the Principal Closing because of the discovery of any Encumbrances not reflected in an Existing Title Policy or New Title Commitment, but that its remedies for the

19

discovery of any Encumbrances not reflected in an Existing Title Policy or New Title Commitment will be limited as expressly set forth in this Section 3.1.

          (f) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.1 to the contrary, the BCR Entities will not be responsible (in any way) for any Encumbrances caused by FCEI, the FCE Entities or any of their affiliates or by the Outside Investors with Interests related to the Operating Property known as Queenswood Apartments.

     3.2 Condemnation

          (a) In the event that any Governmental Authority commences any condemnation action or any taking by power of eminent domain (such action, a “Condemnation”) against any Operating Property or threatens in writing to do so prior to the Principal Closing, the BCR Entities will notify Forest City of such action or threatened action promptly upon obtaining knowledge thereof. If any Operating Property or portion thereof is taken in a Condemnation or a transfer in lieu thereof and the action (i) deprives the related Property Owner of 20% or more of the gross area owned or ground leased by the Property Owner at the Operating Property, (ii) deprives the affected Operating Property of access to public roads in a manner that materially and adversely affects the value of the Operating Property taken as a whole, (iii) permits any Anchor at that Operating Property to terminate its operating covenant with respect to that Operating Property under the applicable Anchor Tenant Leases, and the Anchor does not affirmatively waive its right to terminate the operating covenant, (iv) constitutes or causes an event of default under the terms of the mortgage loan then encumbering the Operating Property, and the lender does not affirmatively waive the default, or (v) deprives the Operating Property of parking area such that the Operating Property is no longer in compliance with the parking count requirements of any of the Anchor Tenant Leases in force at the Operating Property or any applicable laws (any such Condemnation, a “Substantial Condemnation”), and following such occurrence the BCR Entities and the relevant Property Owner are unwilling or unable to restore the Operating Property to substantially the same condition as existed on the date of this Agreement (or, in the case of a reduction in parking area, to substantially the same condition and number of spaces as is required by the relevant Anchor Tenant Leases and applicable law) by the Principal Closing Date, Forest City will have the right to exclude that Operating Property from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

          (b) If a Condemnation occurs with respect to an Operating Property and (i) the Condemnation constitutes a Substantial Condemnation but Forest City does not elect to exclude the Operating Property as permitted in Section 3.2(a) or (ii) the Condemnation does not constitute a Substantial Condemnation, then in either case this Agreement will remain in full force and effect with respect to the affected Operating Property, and the BCR Transferred Interests and the FCE Contributed Interests in the relevant Operating Property will be transferred on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the related Interest Contribution Agreement and, if applicable, Interest Transfer Agreement, and the related Property Owner will be entitled to receive all Condemnation and rent insurance proceeds. The BCR Entities and the FCE Entities, as the case may be, will promptly remit to the applicable Property Owner any such proceeds received by them.

     3.3 Destruction or Damage

20

          (a) If any Operating Property or portion thereof is destroyed or damaged by any casualty in a manner that: (i) deprives the related Property Owner of 20% or more of the gross area owned or ground leased by the Property Owner at the Operating Property, (ii) deprives the affected Operating Property of access to public roads in a manner that materially and adversely affects the value of the Operating Property taken as a whole, (iii) permits any Anchor at that Operating Property to terminate its operating covenant with respect to that Operating Property under the applicable Anchor Tenant Leases, and the Anchor does not affirmatively waive its right to terminate the operating covenant, (iv) constitutes or causes an event of default under the terms of the mortgage loan then encumbering the Operating Property, and the lender does not affirmatively waive the default, or (v) deprives the Operating Property of parking area such that the Operating Property is no longer in compliance with the parking count requirements of any of the Anchor Tenant Leases in force at the Operating Property or any applicable laws (any such casualty, a “Substantial Casualty”), and following such occurrence the BCR Entities and the relevant Property Owner are unwilling or unable to restore the Operating Property to substantially the same condition as existed on the date of this Agreement (or, in the case of a reduction in parking area, to substantially the same condition and the number of spaces as is required by the relevant Anchor Tenant Leases and applicable law) by the Principal Closing Date, Forest City will have the right to exclude that Operating Property from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

          (b) If (i) any Substantial Casualty occurs at an Operating Property and Forest City does not elect to exclude the affected Operating Property from the Principal Closing as permitted in Section 3.3(a), or (ii) damage or destruction occurs at an Operating Property that does not constitute a Substantial Casualty, then in either case this Agreement will remain in full force and effect with respect to the affected Operating Property, and the BCR Transferred Interests and the FCE Contributed Interests in the relevant Operating Property will be transferred on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the related Interest Contribution Agreement and, if applicable, Interest Transfer Agreement, and the relevant Property Owner will be entitled to receive all insurance proceeds relating to such damage or destruction. The BCR Entities and the FCE Entities, as the case may be, will promptly remit to the applicable Property Owner any such proceeds received by them.

COVENANTS

     4.1 Appointment of BCR Representative. Each of the BCR Entities and BCR Individuals hereby appoints BR Retail Member, LLC (sometimes referred to in this Agreement as the “BCR Representative”) as its representative for all purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including signing the Master III Operating Agreement, Interest Contribution Agreements, Interest Transfer Agreements, Tax Protection Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement and other agreements and documents contemplated by this Agreement. The BCR Entities and BCR Individuals acknowledge that Forest City is entitled to rely upon the action or failure to act of the BCR Representative as fully and completely as if the action or failure to act with respect to any particular matter was the action or failure to act of the BCR Entities and BCR Individuals. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Forest City

21

may notify any or all of the BCR Entities and BCR Individuals by notice given to the BCR Representative.

     4.2 Commercially Reasonable Efforts. Forest City and the BCR Entities will use commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and to do or cause to be done all things necessary or appropriate to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Interest Contribution Agreements, Interest Transfer Agreements, Tax Protection Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement and the other agreements being executed pursuant to this Agreement, including using commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy any conditions precedent to the Principal Closing as promptly as possible and to cause Master III and any other direct and indirect subsidiaries of FCEI to obtain any approvals, qualifications, licenses or permits necessary for the acceptance by Master III and such subsidiaries of FCEI of the Contributed Interests and indirectly the Properties, Service Companies, the Nets, Atlantic Yards, Bloomfield and Metrotech Associates; provided, however, that the cost of obtaining any such approvals, qualifications, licenses or permits will be paid by FCEI.

     4.3 Post-Closing HSR Act Filings. Upon exchange of any BCR Units, Forest City, Master III, the BCR Entities and the BCR Individuals will make any filings and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any requisite clearances that may be required by the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”). If at any time HSR Act filings are required, Forest City, Master III, the BCR Entities and the BCR Individuals will use commercially reasonable efforts to make such filings in a timely fashion and to comply with all lawful requests of Governmental Authorities for additional information and documents pursuant to the HSR Act as expeditiously as possible. Forest City will bear all costs and expenses incurred by the BCR Entities and/or BCR Individuals in order to comply with the covenants contained in this Section 4.3.

     4.4 Conduct of Business. Between the date of this Agreement and the applicable Closing or Development Property Closing: (a) each of the Properties controlled, managed or operated by the BCR Entities as of the date hereof will be operated in a manner consistent with past practices, the terms of the organizational documents of the related Property Owner or Development Property Owner, as the case may be, and the terms of any existing management and other agreements relating to the Property, and in compliance with law; (b) each Property Owner, Development Property Owner, Service Company, the Nets, Atlantic Yards, Bloomfield, Metrotech Associates, each other entity jointly owned by the FCE Entities and the BCR Entities that holds a direct or indirect interest in a Property Owner or Development Property Owner and Forest City Xxxxxx Companies, a New York general partnership (“FCRC”), will continue to make distributions and otherwise continue to operate in a manner consistent with past practices, the terms of their respective organizational documents and the terms of the existing management and other agreements; and (c) the BCR Entities will cause each of the Property Owners and each of the Development Property Owners related to Properties controlled, managed or operated by the BCR Entities as of the date hereof to refrain from taking any action that would result in the creation of any Encumbrance on any Property without the prior written consent of Forest City. BCR, the management team of FCRC and the relevant Property Owner (as applicable) will continue to dedicate a reasonable amount of time operating any Operating Property or property

22

jointly owned by affiliates of the BCR Entities and FCEI that is excluded from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     4.5 Registration Rights Agreement. At the Principal Closing, FCEI will execute and deliver a Registration Rights Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with and for the benefit of each Holder (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) receiving or entitled to receive any BCR Units as a result of the contributions contemplated by this Agreement. Upon each issuance of Additional Units and upon any transfer permitted by the Master III Operating Agreement, the relevant BCR Entity, BCR Individual or the permitted transferee, as applicable, will execute and deliver to Master III an addendum to the Registration Rights Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-2.

     4.7 Voting Agreement. At the Principal Closing, FCEI, BCR and a sufficient number of Forest City Principals (as defined in the Voting Agreement) will execute and deliver a Voting Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Voting Agreement”).

     4.8 BCR Employment Agreement; FCRC Operations. At the Principal Closing, FCEI and BCR will enter into an employment agreement that is acceptable to both of them (the “BCR Employment Agreement”). Following the Principal Closing, FCRC will be a strategic business unit of FCEI and will operate in a manner that is consistent with FCEI’s corporate policies and requirements for all of FCEI’s strategic business units. To the knowledge of Forest City, FCRC, as currently operated, is operating in a manner that is consistent with FCEI’s corporate policies and requirements applicable to FCEI’s strategic business units as of the date hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4.8 may be interpreted as prohibiting or restricting FCEI’s right to amend, modify, adopt or rescind any corporate policy or requirement applicable to FCRC or any other strategic business unit of FCEI after the Principal Closing Date.

     4.9 Limitation on Actions by Forest City. Between the date of this Agreement and the Principal Closing Date, FCEI will continue to operate its business in a manner consistent with past practices but will not engage in any transaction (other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) that requires approval by its shareholders without the prior written consent of the BCR Entities. During the period from the date hereof until the date on which all Interests in all Development Properties have been transferred pursuant to this Agreement, neither Forest City nor any then existing subsidiary or affiliate of FCEI will enter into any contract or take any action that would materially interfere with the BCR Entities and/or Forest City’s legal right to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

23

     4.10 Expenses. Each party will pay its own expenses (including the fees and expenses of its own attorneys, accountants and other advisers) in connection with its due diligence, negotiating this Agreement and any related documents or agreements and otherwise preparing for the Principal Closing, any Deferred Closing or any Development Property Closing. In addition to the expenses to be paid by FCEI pursuant to Sections 1.2 and 4.2 of this Agreement and Schedule 1.3(b), FCEI will be responsible for transfer and recording taxes, the cost of obtaining New Title Commitments and all filing fees (including any fees incurred in connection with any filings made pursuant to the HSR Act) and expenses arising in connection with the contributions contemplated by this Agreement or the exercise of the Exchange Rights (as that term is defined in the Master III Operating Agreement). FCEI will pay all fees and expenses associated with obtaining the non-consolidation opinions contemplated by Section 5.4(j), the cost of obtaining certified copies of organizational documents and good standing certificates required by this Agreement and any participation payments that may be required as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the exercise of the Exchange Rights. The parties will cooperate with each other in connection with the preparation and filing of all transfer tax returns, affidavits and other similar instruments required in connection with the payment of the foregoing expenses.

     4.11 Intentionally Omitted.

     4.12 Tax Treatment.

          (a) Forest City and the BCR Entities will cause the initial and all subsequent tax returns of Master III to be filed to reflect that (i) the contributions of the FCE Contributed Interests and the BCR Contributed Interests are contributions of property governed by Section 721 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and (ii) the Units are membership interests in Master III, unless FCEI determines, in its reasonable discretion, that as a result of a change of law there is not at least a “reasonable basis” for such treatment (as defined in Section 6662 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder). If FCEI makes such a determination, it will advise the BCR Representative in advance of taking such position, and any dispute regarding such position will be resolved in the manner provided in the Tax Protection Agreement.

          (b) Forest City and the BCR Entities will report the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, for federal and state income tax purposes (including the filing of federal and state income tax returns), in a manner consistent with (i) the allocation of Consideration among the BCR Entities, the BCR Individuals and the BCR Contributed Interests established pursuant to Section 2.2(c) hereof.

          (c) Forest City and the BCR Entities will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that (i) Master III is not treated, as a “publicly traded partnership” as that term is used in Section 7704(b) of the Code (a “PTP”), (ii) the “Exchange Rights” (as that term is defined in the Master III Operating Agreement) associated with the BCR Units will not be amended unless FCEI receives an opinion of independent tax counsel (an “Opinion of Counsel”) to the effect that exercises of the Exchange Rights will not cause Master III to be treated as a PTP, (iii) neither FCEI nor Master III will waive any restrictions with respect to the exercise of any Exchange Right unless the waiver is with respect to either (A) a transaction that qualifies as a “private

24

transfer” described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(e), or (B) a transaction with respect to which FCEI and Master III have received an Opinion of Counsel concluding that the transaction will not cause Master III to be treated as a PTP, (iv) Master III will not permit a transfer of Units other than pursuant to an exercise of Exchange Rights (a “Unit Transfer”) unless either (A) the Unit Transfer qualifies as a “private transfer” described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(e), (B) FCEI and Master III have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Unit Transfer will not cause Master III to be treated as a PTP or (C) the transfer occurs within twelve (12) months of the death of a person that held a direct or indirect interest in the units at the time of death, provided that the transferor may not make more than two transfers under this clause (C) that are not described in clause (A) during such twelve (12) month period; and (v) to the extent that an Opinion of Counsel received by FCEI and Master III in connection with the requirements of this Section 4.12(c) is based upon assumptions regarding subsequent transfers of interests in Master III, whether pursuant to Exchange Rights or otherwise, Master III will not permit transfers other than in accordance with such assumptions unless FCEI and Master III obtain a new Opinion of Counsel to the same effect as the original Opinion of Counsel, taking into account the variations from such assumptions. Notwithstanding the above, neither FCEI nor Master III will be required to receive an opinion of counsel that a Unit Transfer would not result in Master III becoming a PTP if (i) all Units in Master III have been issued in a transaction (or transactions) that did not require the registration of the Units under the Securities Act and (ii) Master III has not had more than one hundred (100) members.

     4.13 Estoppel Certificates. Commencing promptly after the date hereof, the BCR Entities agree to prepare and deliver an estoppel certificate to (i) each of the tenants listed on Schedule 4.13-1 (the “Anchors”), (ii) each landlord under a ground lease pursuant to which any Property Owner has access to space at any Operating Property that is listed on Schedule 4.13-2 (each such landlord, a “Ground Lessor”) and (iii) to the extent not covered above, each entity identified on Schedule 4.13-3 that is a party to a reciprocal easement agreement encumbering or benefiting any Operating Property. With respect to Development Properties, following the Stabilization Date for the applicable Development Property, Forest City may require that the BCR Entities prepare and deliver an estoppel certificate to each landlord under a ground lease relating to a Development Property that is listed on Schedule 4.13-2. Each such estoppel certificate will include a provision addressing each of the matters set forth on Exhibit F, and each such estoppel certificate will be completed to reflect the relevant terms of the lease, ground lease or reciprocal easement agreement to which it relates (each such estoppel certificate, an “Estoppel Certificate”). The BCR Entities agree to use commercially reasonable efforts, but without being required to incur any material expense (other than the administrative expense customarily incurred in preparing, distributing and collecting such certificates), to obtain signed Estoppel Certificates from each such Anchor, Ground Lessor and party to reciprocal easement agreement on or before the Principal Closing Date or, as applicable, the relevant Stabilization Closing Date.

     4.14 Reservation of FCEI Stock. Commencing on or prior to the Principal Closing and at all times thereafter until all of the BCR Units (including any Additional Units) have been exchanged, FCEI will reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued FCEI Stock or FCEI Stock held in treasury, solely for the purpose of issuance upon exchange of the BCR Units (including any Additional Units), the full number of shares of FCEI Stock then deliverable upon exchange of all of the BCR Units (including the Additional Units) then outstanding. Prior to the first date upon which any of the BCR Units may

25

be exchanged to FCEI Stock, FCEI will obtain all consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, clearances and qualifications of any Governmental Authority or stock exchange authorities for the issuance and subsequent trading of the FCEI Stock issuable upon exchange of the BCR Units (including any Additional Units) (other than the registration of the FCEI Stock with the SEC, which registration will be governed by the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement).

     4.15 Treatment of Certain Priority Payments. With respect to certain Property Owners, Development Property Owners or other entities jointly owned by certain of the FCE Entities and certain of the BCR Entities (or their respective affiliates), Forest City has funded development and other costs through capital contributions and, upon distribution of net cash flow, financing proceeds or net sales proceeds by such Property Owners, Development Property Owners or jointly owned entities and, before distributions to the members or other owners of the Property Owners, Development Property Owners or jointly owned entities in accordance with their respective percentage interests, is entitled to receive amounts consisting of these unreturned capital contributions and a return on such unreturned capital contributions (“Priority Payments”). By way of illustration, and without limiting the meaning of Priority Payments under the standard form of Property Owner Agreement prescribed by the Second Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement of FCRC, dated as of February 1, 2004, Priority Payments consist of a Section 3.01(c) Return, Unreturned Capital attributable to Section 3.01(c) Contributions and a Priority Return (as these terms are defined in the form of Property Owner Agreement). Forest City acknowledges that the consideration received under this Agreement includes consideration on account of their contributing of a portion of the right to receive Priority Payments (as set forth on Schedules P-6C (FCE Contributed Interests in Operating Properties) and P-7B (FCE Contributed Interests in Development Properties) that have accrued through January 31, 2006 and that would otherwise be payable to the relevant FCE Entities by the Property Owners, Development Property Owners or jointly owned entities. The portion not contributed will continue to be owned by Forest City, pari passu with Master III, and the relevant Property Owner, Development Property Owner or other jointly owned entity will make its distributions accordingly.

     4.16 Nets Loan. BR Basketball, LLC received a loan from Forest City Sports, LLC in order to fund BR Basketball, LLC’s capital contributions in FCR Sports, LLC (the “Nets Loan”). Forest City and the BCR Entities acknowledge that (i) as set forth in Schedule P-5A (Nets, Atlantic Yards, Bloomfield and Metrotech Associates Transfers), the BCR Sold Interests related to the Nets will be acquired by the entity identified on Schedule P-5A (Nets, Atlantic Yards, Bloomfield and Metrotech Associates Transfers) at the Deferred Closing (without regard to the Cure Cut-off Date) at such time that all conditions precedent to the transfer of such BCR Sold Interests have been satisfied and (ii) BR Basketball, LLC will use the consideration received for such BCR Sold Interests to repay the Nets Loan at the Deferred Closing.

     4.17 Certain Amendments. At the Principal Closing, the operating agreement or partnership agreement for each of the entities identified on Schedule 4.17 will be amended by the members or partners of each such entity. The form of partnership agreement or operating agreement for each such entity related to an Operating Property, as amended, will be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit G-1, and the form of partnership agreement or operating agreement for each such entity related to a Development Property, as amended, will be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit G-2.

26

     4.18 Contribution of Additional FCE Interests.

     (a) Except as provided in Section 4.18(b) below, in no event will Forest City or Master III have any obligation to acquire any Interests that are owned, directly or indirectly, by an Outside Investor with respect to any Property. In the event that any such Interest owned by an Outside Investor has not been acquired by Master III prior to the third anniversary of the Principal Closing Date or Stabilization Closing Date for the relevant Property, (a) the FCE Entity owning Interests in the relevant Property Owner, Development Property Owner or other entity in which such FCE Entity contributed Interests on the Principal Closing Date or Stabilization Closing Date related to such Property will promptly contribute an additional amount of Interests in such Property Owner, Development Property Owner or other entity equal to the Interests in such Property that are owned by such Outside Investor as of the date hereof and (b) Master III will issue to such FCE Entity an amount of Class B Common Units equal to the value of the Interests being contributed by such FCE Entity determined as of the day of the closing of the contribution of the other Interests related to the applicable Property. In the event that FCEI or a subsidiary thereof desires to acquire such Interest owned by an Outside Investor prior to the third anniversary of the Principal Closing Date or Stabilization Closing Date, FCEI or such subsidiary may, in its sole discretion, either (x) contribute to Master III the consideration necessary to acquire such Interest from the Outside Investor and cause Master III or its wholly-owned subsidiary to acquire such Interest or (y) acquire such Interest directly from the Outside Investor and contribute such Interest to Master III or its wholly-owned subsidiary, provided that the option selected by FCEI does not create any tax liability for the BCR Entities or the BCR Individuals. In the case of subsection (x) and subsection (y) above, Master III will issue to FCEI or such other subsidiary a number Class B Common Units that is equal to the quotient of (i) the value of the consideration or Interests (determined as of the date of such contribution) contributed to Master III pursuant to this Section 4.18 divided by (ii) the average of the closing prices of the FCEI Stock as reported by the New York Stock Exchange for each of the twenty (20) days on which trading in such stock was reported immediately prior to the date of such contribution. Schedule 4.18A contains a list of each of Interests held by any FCE Entities which are to be contributed for Class B Common Units upon the third anniversary of the Principal Closing or Development Property Closing to the extent same have not been acquired by Master III prior to such date (the “Outside Interests”).

     (b) With respect to the Outside Investors and Outside Interests identified on Schedule 4.18B, in the event that any or all of such Outside Investors desire to sell its or their entire Outside Interests to FCEI or Master III, FCEI (or its subsidiary or Master III) will acquire such Interests by electing either option (x) or (y) described in Section 4.18(a) above; provided, however, that (i) the option selected by FCEI may not create any tax liability for the BCR Entities or the BCR Individuals, (ii) in no event will FCEI or Master III, as applicable, be obligated to pay an amount for each such Outside Interest that is greater than the pro rata portion of the amount set forth on Schedule 4.18B attributable to such Outside Interest and (iii) in no event will FCEI (or its subsidiary or Master III) be obligated to acquire such Outside Interests following the date on which the BCR Transferred Interests with respect to the Property to which such Outside Interests relate have been transferred in accordance with this Agreement. Pursuant to penultimate sentence of Section 4.18(a), in connection with the acquisition of any such Outside Interests, Master III will issue to the entity acquiring such Outside Interests and

27

contributing same to Master III or contributing cash to Master III, as applicable, an amount of Class B Common Units calculated in accordance with such penultimate sentence of 4.18(a).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Principal Closing has not occurred by December 15, 2006 other than as a result of a default by any party to this Agreement, this Agreement will automatically terminate and none of Forest City, Master III, the Master III Entities, the BCR Entities or the BCR Individuals will have any further obligations under this Agreement other than any obligation that expressly survives any such termination. As used in this Agreement, the term “Principal Closing” means the transfers contemplated by Sections 1.1(a) through 1.1(f) with respect to the Operating Properties and the Service Companies, Atlantic Yards, Bloomfield and Metrotech Associates and the performance by each party hereto of the obligations on its part then to be performed under and in accordance with this Agreement with respect to the Operating Properties, the Service Companies, Atlantic Yards, Bloomfield and Metrotech Associates.

The parties will conduct a “pre-closing” commencing on the third business day preceding the Principal Closing Date, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to finalize the closing statement for the Principal Closing at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the Principal Closing Date.

Operating Properties as to which a Substantial Condemnation or Substantial Casualty has occurred that cannot be cured prior to the Principal Closing Date will be excluded from the Principal Closing (any such Operating Property excluded or removed because it is subject to a Substantial Condemnation or a Substantial Casualty, an “Excluded Property”). The parties acknowledge that the BCR Sold Interests with respect to FCR Sports, LLC will not be transferred at the Principal Closing but will be included in a subsequent Closing (the “Deferred Closing”) at such time as all conditions precedent to the sale of such BCR Sold Interests have been satisfied. The BCR Entities will use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy any conditions precedent to (including obtaining all third party consents required to be

The BCR Entities will advise Forest City on a regular basis of the progress in satisfying the as yet unmet conditions or circumstances to the Deferred Closing and will cooperate in scheduling the Deferred Closing Date as soon as practical after those conditions or circumstances are met. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the BCR Entities determine in good faith that they will not be able to satisfy all conditions precedent to the transfer of the BCR Sold Interests with respect to the Nets by June 30, 2007, the BCR Entities will notify Forest City in writing of such determination, this Agreement automatically will terminate with respect to the Nets, and neither Forest City nor the BCR Entities will have any further obligation hereunder in respect of the Nets, except as may expressly be provided to survive any such termination.

Schedule 7.1(a) sets forth a complete and correct list reflecting the full legal name, type of legal entity and the jurisdiction in which each of the FCE Entities is organized. Master III and each of the Master III Entities is either a limited liability company or a corporation, as the case may be, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of New York.

Each of FCEI, the FCE Entities, Master III and the Master III Entities is duly qualified to do business in all jurisdictions where such qualification is necessary to carry on its business as now conducted, except where failure to do so would not result in an FCE Material Adverse Effect. Each of FCEI, the FCE Entities, Master III and Master III Entities has all necessary power to execute and deliver, and perform its obligations under, this Agreement and all documents contemplated hereunder to be executed by it. “FCE Material Adverse Effect” means any change or effect that (i) is, or is reasonably likely to be, materially adverse to the business, operations or financial condition of FCEI, the FCE Entities, Master III and the Master III Entities, taken as a whole, or (ii) materially delays or hinders, or is reasonably likely materially to delay or hinder, the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

               (b) Authorization and Binding Effect. This Agreement has been, and all documents contemplated hereunder to be executed by Forest City, Master III and the Master III Entities when executed and delivered will be, duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of Forest City, Master III and the Master III Entities, including approval by the Special Committee of FCEI’s Board of Directors appointed to consider and act upon this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Special Committee”). Shareholder approval is not required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the issuance of FCEI Stock upon exchange of the BCR Units (including any Additional Units). This Agreement and each such document is, or upon execution and delivery will be, the valid and legally binding obligation of FCEI, the FCE Entities, Master III or the Master III Entities, as the case may be, enforceable in accordance with its respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity (including concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing), regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

               (c) No Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor any documents contemplated hereunder to be executed by Forest City, Master III or the Master III Entities, nor the performance by Forest City, Master III or the Master III Entities of any of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, including the contribution of the FCE Contributed Interests and the issuance of the FCEI Stock upon exchange of the BCR Units, will (i) violate any law or regulation of any Governmental Authority that is applicable to FCEI, Master III, the Master III Entities or any of the FCE Entities or the FCE Interests, (ii) violate any order or decree of any court, arbitrator or other Governmental Authority against or binding upon FCEI, Master III, the Master III Entities or any of the FCE Entities; (iii) violate any provision of the articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents of FCEI, Master III, the Master III Entities, any of the FCE Entities or any entity that is jointly owned by Forest City and any of the BCR Entities, (iv) require Forest City, Master III or the Master III Entities to obtain any consent, approval or action of, or make any filing with or give any notice to, any Governmental Authority or any other Person, except for (A) the consents set forth on Schedule 7.2(c) attached hereto, (v) conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default or accelerate any right under, any agreement or instrument to which FCEI, Master III, the Master III Entities or any of the FCE Entities is a party or by which FCEI or any of the FCE Entities or FCE Interests are bound, or (vi) result in, or require the creation or imposition of, any lien upon

42

or with respect to any of the FCE Interests, except in the case of clauses (i), (ii), (iv) and (v) above, for such violations, consents, approvals, notices, conflicts, breaches or defaults as could not reasonably be expected to result in an FCE Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of Forest City, Schedule 7.2(c) identifies all of the consents under agreements effective as of the date hereof that are required as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except that Forest City makes no representation or warranty regarding the third-party consents identified on Schedule 7.2(c) that Forest City and the BCR Entities agree are not required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

               (d) FCE Contributed Interests. The organizational charts included as part of Schedule P-3B (Property Owners and Organizational Charts) and Schedule P-3E (Service Companies and Organizational Charts) are true and correct to the extent they reflect the direct or indirect ownership by FCEI or any of the FCE Entities in the Operating Properties and the Service Companies. The FCE Interests have been duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with the organizational documents of the issuer thereof and applicable law. Immediately preceding the Principal Closing, the contributors of the FCE Contributed Interests will own the FCE Contributed Interests to be contributed at such Closing free and clear of all rights, liens, claims and encumbrances other than claims or encumbrances arising pursuant to the organizational documents of the relevant issuer of such FCE Contributed Interests and claims arising pursuant to this Agreement, and subject to restrictions on transfer under federal and state securities laws.

Schedule 7.2(p) identifies each section of the Form 10-K that contains information relevant to the Property Owners, the Development Property Owners, the Operating Properties and the operations conducted by FCRC (the “FCRC Form 10-K Information”). To the knowledge of the BCR Entities, at the time the Form 10-K was filed, the FCRC Form 10-K Information did not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

               (q) Private Offering. Each of the BCR Entities acknowledges that:

               (i) The BCR Units will not be registered under the Securities Act and will be issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) and Regulation D of the Securities Act or other applicable exemptions.

Each of the BCR Entities has the requisite knowledge and experience in tax, financial and business matters and financial resources such that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of acquiring the BCR Units, and the FCEI Stock issuable upon exchange of the BCR Units, and bearing all risks associated with an investment in the BCR Units, and the FCEI Stock issuable upon exchange of the BCR Units, for an indefinite period of time, including the complete loss of its investment in the BCR Units.

               (iii) None of the BCR Entities nor any person acting on their behalf has taken, or will prior to the Principal Closing Date take, any action that could reasonably be expected to subject the BCR Units issued on such Closing Date, or the issuance of FCEI Stock upon exchange of any BCR Units, to the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act, except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement.

               (r) Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxx. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, all representations and warranties made in Section 7.2(c) and Sections 7.2(e) through 7.2(p) with respect to the Properties referred to as Queenswood Apartments and Worth Street and the related Property Owners of such Operating Properties are subject to the limitation that the BCR Entities have no reason to believe that such representations

51

and warranties are not true and correct as of the date hereof, notwithstanding the absence or presence of any qualifier limiting such representation to the knowledge of the representing party.

               (s) Brokers. No broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other Person is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of BCR or any of the BCR Entities.

               (t) BCR Entities’ Knowledge. As used in this Agreement, the words “to the knowledge of the BCR Entities” and other words of similar tenor mean the actual knowledge of the designees of the BCR Entities listed on Schedule 7.2(t), without any further duty of inquiry.

52

               (b) None of the representations and warranties of the BCR Entities contained in Section 7.2 apply to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with respect to the Nets, Atlantic Yards, Bloomfield or Metrotech Associates, except that the representations and warranties contained in Sections 7.2(a) (Organization, Good Standing and Authority), 7.2(b) (Authorization and Binding Effect), 7.2(c) (No Conflicts) and 7.2(d) (BCR Transferred Interests) will be made by the BCR Entities transferring the BCR Sold Interests with respect to the Nets, Atlantic Yards, Bloomfield and Metrotech Associates on and as of the relevant Closing Date for the Closing at which the BCR Sold Interests in the Nets, Atlantic Yards, Bloomfield or Metrotech Associates are transferred to Forest City pursuant to this Agreement.

          7.5 Notice of Breach. If, after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Principal Closing or the Deferred Closing, either Forest City or the BCR Entities becomes aware that any of their respective representations or warranties contained in this Agreement that are required to be made or remade at and as of the applicable Closing are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, or will be untrue, inaccurate or incorrect if required to be remade at such Closing, Forest City or the BCR Representative will provide written notice of the potential breach of such representation or warranty to the other party promptly after obtaining such knowledge. Except as expressly set forth herein to the contrary, any such notice will not constitute a waiver of the breach, whether or not the Closing occurs.

ARTICLE VIII

          8.1 Survival Period. The representations, warranties and covenants made or to be made by Forest City and the BCR Entities in this Agreement, and in each of the documents contemplated hereunder to be executed by them, will survive the Principal Closing, each Deferred Closing and each Development Property Closing, although any claim for indemnification with respect to the breach of any such representations, warranties or covenants must be brought within the following periods:

               (a) With respect to any covenants, without limitation as to time, except as prescribed by the applicable statute of limitations.

          8.2 Obligation of Forest City to Indemnify. Subject to Sections 8.1 and 8.6, FCEI and the FCE Entities will jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the BCR Transferor Parties from and against all costs, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements but excluding consequential and other indirect damages) (“Losses”) imposed upon, incurred by (whether by way of judgment, award, decree, settlement payment or otherwise) or suffered by any of them by reason of (a) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Forest City contained in this Agreement or in any other document contemplated herein to be executed by FCEI or any of the FCE Entities, (b) any breach of any covenant of Forest City, Master III or the Master III Entities contained herein or any other document contemplated herein to be executed by FCEI, Master III, the Master III Entities or any of the FCE Entities or (c) the conduct of the business of the Service Companies, the Property Owners, Development Property Owners and the Properties after the applicable Closing Date or Stabilization Closing Date (as applicable), except (i) to the extent the Losses are caused by BCR or the BCR Entities, (ii) for Losses arising out of any lawsuit filed by BCR, the BCR Entities or the BCR Individuals in connection with this Agreement, (iii) for Losses attributable to the recognition of any taxable income or gain, or in tax terminations under Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code, or other adverse tax consequences resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (iv) for Losses incurred by directors and officers of FCEI and its subsidiaries that are governed by the indemnification provisions of FCEI’s Articles of Incorporation.

          8.3 Obligation of BCR Entities to Indemnify. Subject to Sections 8.1 and 8.5, the BCR Entities will jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless FCEI and the FCE Entities (the “Forest City Indemnified Parties”) from and against all Losses imposed upon, incurred by (whether by way of judgment, award, decree, settlement payment or otherwise) or suffered by the Forest City Indemnified Parties by reason of any (a) breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the BCR Entities contained in this Agreement or in any other document contemplated herein to be executed by any of the BCR Entities or (b) breach of any covenant of the BCR Entities contained herein or any other document contemplated herein to be executed by any of the BCR Entities. Except as set forth in Section 9.3(a), Forest City acknowledges that the indemnification provisions in this Section 8.3 are the sole and exclusive remedies available to it with respect to any and all claims arising from any breach by any of the BCR Entities of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement or in any other document contemplated herein to be executed by any of the BCR Entities or BCR Individuals. In no event will the BCR Individuals have any personal liability in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.5 below, the BCR Entities and the BCR Individuals acknowledge that the BCR Entities will be

54

responsible for (i) any breach of any representation or warranty relating to any Interests being contributed or sold by any BCR Individual pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) any breach of any covenant by any of the BCR Individuals or the failure of any of the BCR Individuals to perform any their respective obligations in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

          8.4 Notice and Resolution of Claims.

               (a) As soon as is reasonably practicable after a party entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 becomes aware of any claim that it has under Section 8.2 or 8.3, as applicable, that may result in a Loss (an “Indemnification Claim”), such party (the “Indemnified Party”) will give notice thereof (a “Claims Notice”) to the party from which indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”). A Claims Notice will describe the Indemnification Claim in reasonable detail, and will indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary and to the extent feasible) of the Loss that has been or may be suffered by the Indemnified Party. No delay in or failure to give a Claims Notice by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 8.4(a) will adversely affect any of the other rights or remedies which the Indemnified Party has under this Agreement, or alter or relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party, to the extent that such delay or failure has not materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

               (b) If an Indemnification Claim pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 arises from any action that involves a claim involving a third party (a “Liability Claim”), the Indemnifying Party will have the right, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Claims Notice for such Liability Claim, to assume and conduct the defense of such Liability Claim in accordance with the limits set forth in this Agreement with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided that (i) the defense of such Liability Claim by the Indemnifying Party will not, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, have a material adverse effect on the Indemnified Party; (ii) the Indemnifying Party has sufficient financial resources, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, to satisfy the amount of any adverse monetary judgment that is reasonably likely to result from such Liability Claims; (iii) such Liability Claim solely seeks (and continues to seek) monetary damages; and (iv) the Indemnifying Party expressly agrees in writing that as between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party may only satisfy and discharge such Liability Claim in accordance with terms of this Agreement (the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) are, collectively, the “Litigation Conditions”). In the event that the Indemnified Party believes, after consulting with legal counsel, that use of counsel of the Indemnifying Party’s choice with respect to any Liability Claim would give rise to a conflict of interest, the Indemnified Party will retain the right to employ its own counsel and participate in the defense of such Liability Claim, and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection with the retention by the Indemnified Party of its own counsel. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of such Liability Claim in accordance with this Section 8.4(b), the Indemnified Party may continue to defend the Liability Claim. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a Liability Claim as provided in this Section 8.4(b), the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; except that if any of the Litigation Conditions ceases to be met or the Indemnifying Party fails to

55

take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Liability Claim, the Indemnified Party may assume its own defense, and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, will have the right to participate in (but not control), at its own expense, the defense of any Liability Claim which the other is defending as provided in this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party, if it has assumed the defense of any Liability Claim as provided in this Agreement, will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Liability Claim which (i) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party a complete release from all liability in respect of such Liability Claim, or (ii) grants any injunctive or equitable relief, or (iii) may reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the affected business of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party will not settle any Liability Claim, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

          8.5 Limitations on Forest City’s Recovery.

               (a) With respect to a breach of the representations and warranties by the BCR Entities in Section 7.2(c) (to the extent they relate to the Property Owners, Service Companies or Properties) and in Sections 7.2(e) through (q) relating to any specific Property Owner, Service Company or Property (and as such representations and warranties are modified by Section 7.4 with respect to any Development Property), the amount of the Losses for which Forest City is entitled to indemnification will be limited to the product of (i) the aggregate BCR Transferred Interest (expressed as a decimal to four (4) decimal places) as set forth in Schedules P-5B (Service Company Transfers), P-6A (BCR Contributed Interests in Operating Properties), P-6B (BCR Sold Interests in Operating Properties), P-7A (BCR Contributed Interests in Development Properties) and P-7C (BCR Sold Interests in Development Properties) related to the relevant Property Owner, Development Property Owner, Property or Service Company that was transferred pursuant to Section 1.1 and (ii) the aggregate amount of the Losses attributable to the relevant Property Owner, Development Property Owner, Property or Service Company.

               (b) The Forest City Indemnified Parties will not be entitled to any indemnification pursuant to Section 8.3(a) for breach or inaccuracy of any representations or warranties (other than the representations and warranties referred to in Section 8.5(d)) unless: (i) with respect to claims for breach or inaccuracy of any representations or warranties relating to Operating Properties and Service Companies, the aggregate amount of all valid claims for indemnification of the Forest City Indemnified Parties for breach or inaccuracy of such representations and warranties exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00); or (ii) with respect to claims for breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty relating to a Development Property, the aggregate amount of all valid claims for indemnification of the Forest City Indemnified Parties for breach or inaccuracy of representations and warranties relating to such Development Property exceeds an amount equal to the product of (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the product of the Stabilized Value of such Development Property (determined in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof) multiplied by each BCR Transferred Interest (expressed as a decimal to four (4) decimal places) applicable to such Development Property as set forth on Schedule P-7A (BCR Contributed Interests in Development Properties) and P-7C (BCR Sold Interests in Development Properties), and the denominator of which is Two Hundred

56

Thirty Two Million Seven Hundred Thirteen Thousand Five Hundred and One Dollars ($232,713,501) and (B) One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00). For purposes of determining whether the applicable threshold for indemnification has been met, all qualifications in specific representations and warranties as to materiality will be disregarded. Once the aggregate amount of all valid claims for indemnification of the Forest City Indemnified Parties for breach or inaccuracy of such representations and warranties exceeds the applicable threshold, the Forest City Indemnified Parties will be entitled to indemnification only for amounts in excess of the applicable threshold amount. For the avoidance of doubt, determining whether the applicable threshold for indemnification has been met with respect to each Development Property in Section 8.5(b)(ii) is independent of the amount of claims for breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty with respect to the Operating Properties, Service Companies or any other Development Properties. In no event will (y) any claims for breach or inaccuracy of any representations or warranties relating to an Operating Property, Service Company or any other Development Property be applied towards determining whether the applicable threshold for indemnification has been met with respect to any claims for breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty with respect to any Development Property and (z) any claim for breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty relating to a Development Property be applied towards determining whether the applicable threshold for indemnification has been met with respect to any claims for a breach or inaccuracy of any representations or warranties with respect to the Operating Properties, Service Companies or any other Development Properties.

               (c) In no event will the BCR Entities be liable under Section 8.3(a) for breach or inaccuracy of any representations or warranties (other than the representations and warranties referred to in Section 8.5(d)): (i) with respect to claims for breach or inaccuracy of representations or warranties relating to Operating Properties and Service Companies, an amount in excess of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) in the aggregate for all such claims for indemnification of the Forest City Indemnified Parties; or (ii) with respect to claims for breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty relating to a Development Property, an amount in excess of the amount equal to the product of (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the product of the Stabilized Value of such Development Property (determined in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof) multiplied by each BCR Transferred Interest (expressed as a decimal to four (4) decimal places) applicable to such Development Property as set forth on Schedule P-7A (BCR Contributed Interests in Development Properties) and P7-C (BCR Sold Interests in Development Properties), and the denominator of which is Two Hundred Thirty Two Million Seven Hundred Thirteen Thousand Five Hundred and One Dollars ($232,713,501) and (B) Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00). For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum liability for breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty with respect to each Development Property in Section 8.5(c)(ii) is independent of the maximum liability for breach or inaccuracy of any representations or warranties with respect to the Operating Properties, Service Companies and any other Development Properties. In no event will (y) any claims for breach or inaccuracy of any representations or warranties relating to an Operating Property, Service Company or any other Development Property be subject to, or be applied towards, the maximum liability for a breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty with respect to each Development Property and (z) any claim for breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty relating to a Development Property be subject to, or be applied towards, the maximum liability for a breach or inaccuracy of any representations or warranties with respect to the Operating Properties, Service Companies or any other Development Properties.

57

               (d) The limitations in Section 8.5(b) and 8.5(c) do not apply to claims by the Forest City Indemnified Parties (i) for indemnification under Section 8.3(b) for breach of any covenant of the BCR Entities contained herein or any other document contemplated herein to be executed by any of the BCR Entities or (ii) for indemnification under Section 8.3(a) for beach of any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 7.2(a) (Organization, Good Standing and Authority of BCR Entities), 7.2(b) (Authorization and Binding Effect), 7.2(d) (BCR Interests) or 7.2(q) (Private Offering) (and as such representations and warranties are modified by Section 7.4 with respect to any Development Property, the Nets, Atlantic Yards, Bloomfield or Metrotech Associates).

               (e) Claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.3 will be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds actually received by the Forest City Indemnified Parties with respect to such claim, less the present value of any premium increase that results from the assertion of the insurance claim resulting in the receipt of such insurance proceeds.

               (f) The amount of any satisfied required capital contributions pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Master III Operating Agreement or the value of any eliminated Units resulting from a failure to satisfy any such required capital contribution, as such value is determined pursuant to the Master III Operating Agreement, will on a dollar-for-dollar basis be included in any determinations concerning the limitations on Forest City’s recovery set forth in this Section 8.5 and the satisfaction of any valid indemnification claim brought by any of the Forest City Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article VIII.

          8.6 Limitation on BCR Entities’ Recovery.

               (a) The BCR Transferor Parties will not be entitled to any indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a) for breach or inaccuracy of any representations or warranties (other than the representations and warranties referred to in Section 8.6(c)) unless: (i) with respect to claims for breach or inaccuracy of any representations or warranties relating to Operating Properties and Services Companies, the aggregate amount of all valid claims for indemnification of the BCR Contributor Parties for breach or inaccuracy of such representations and warranties exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00); or (ii) with respect to claims for breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty relating to a Development Property, the aggregate amount of all valid claims for indemnification of the BCR Transferor Parties for breach or inaccuracy of representations and warranties relating to such Development Property exceeds an amount equal to the product of (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the product of the Stabilized Value of such Development Property (determined in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof) multiplied by each FCE Contributed Interest (expressed as a decimal to four (4) decimal places) applicable to such Development Property as set forth on Schedule P-7B (FCE Contributed Interests in Development Properties), and the denominator of which is Three Hundred Forty Eight Million Two Hundred Eighty Five Thousand Four Hundred and Four Dollars ($348,285,404) and (B) One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00). For purposes of determining whether the applicable threshold for indemnification has been met, all qualifications in specific representations and warranties as to materiality will be disregarded. Once the aggregate amount of all valid claims for indemnification of the BCR Transferor Parties for breach or inaccuracy of such representations and warranties exceeds the applicable threshold, the BCR Transferor Parties will be entitled to indemnification only for amounts in excess of the

58

applicable threshold amount. For the avoidance of doubt, determining whether the applicable threshold for indemnification has been met with respect to each Development Property in Section 8.6(a)(ii) is independent of the amount of claims for breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty with respect to the Operating Properties, Service Companies and any other Development Properties. In no event will (y) any claims for breach or inaccuracy of any representations or warranties relating to an Operating Property, Service Company or any other Development Property be applied towards determining whether the applicable threshold for indemnification has been met with respect to any claims for breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty with respect to any Development Property and (z) any claim for breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty relating to a Development Property be applied towards determining whether the applicable threshold for indemnification has been met with respect to any claims for a breach or inaccuracy of any representations or warranties with respect to the Operating Properties, Service Companies or any other Development Properties.

               (b) In no event will Forest City be liable under Section 8.2(a) for breach or inaccuracy of any representations or warranties (other than the representations and warranties referred to in Section 8.6(c)): (i) with respect to claims for breach or inaccuracy of representations or warranties relating to Operating Properties and Service Companies, an amount in excess of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) in the aggregate for all such claims for indemnification of the BCR Contributor Parties; or (ii) with respect to claims for breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty relating to a Development Property, an amount in excess of the amount equal to the product of (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the product of the Stabilized Value of such Development Property (determined in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof) multiplied by each FCE Contributed Interest (expressed as a decimal to four (4) decimal places) applicable to such Development Property as set forth on Schedule P-7B (FCE Contributed Interests in Development Properties), and the denominator of which is Three Hundred Forty Eight Million Two Hundred Eighty Five Thousand Four Hundred and Four Dollars ($348,285,404) and (B) Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00). For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum liability for breach or inaccuracy of any representations or warranties with respect to each Development Property in Section 8.6(b)(ii) is independent of the maximum liability for breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty with respect to the Operating Properties, Service Companies and any other Development Properties. In no event will (y) any claim for breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty relating to an Operating Property, Service Company or any other Development Property be subject to, or be applied towards, the maximum liability for a breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty with respect to each Development Property and (z) any claim for breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty relating to a Development Property be subject to, or be applied towards, the maximum liability for a breach or inaccuracy of any representations or warranties with respect to the Operating Properties, Service Companies or any other Development Properties.

               (c) The limitations in Section 8.6(a) and 8.6(b) do not apply to claims by the BCR Transferor Parties (i) for indemnification under Section 8.2(b) for breach of any covenant of the BCR Entities contained herein or any other document contemplated herein to be executed by any of the BCR Entities or (ii) for indemnification under Section 8.2(a) for breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 7.1(a) (Organization, Good Standing and Authority of BCR Entities), 7.1(b) (Authorization and Binding Effect), 7.1(d) (FCE Interests) or

59

7.1(e) (FCEI Stock) or 7.1(f) (Private Offering) (and as such representations and warranties are modified by Section 7.3 with respect to any Development Property).

               (d) Claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 will be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds actually received by the BCR Transferor Parties with respect to such claim, less the present value of any premium increase that results from the assertion of the insurance claim resulting in the receipt of such insurance proceeds.

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION

          9.1 Intentionally Omitted.

          9.2 Failure to Satisfy Certain Conditions Prior to the Principal Closing.

               (a) If the conditions precedent to the obligations of Forest City set forth in Section 6.1(b) or Sections 6.1(d) through (h) are not satisfied on or before December 15, 2006, and Forest City is unwilling to waive the unmet conditions, then Forest City will have the right to terminate this Agreement. In such event, none of Forest City, Master III, the Master III Entities, the BCR Entities or the BCR Individuals will have any further obligations under this Agreement.

               (b) If the conditions precedent to the obligations of the BCR Entities and the BCR Individuals set forth in Section 6.2(c), Sections 6.2(e) through (i) are not satisfied on or before December 15, 2006, and the BCR Entities and BCR Individuals are unwilling to waive the unmet conditions, then the BCR Entities will have the right to terminate this Agreement. In such event, none of Forest City, Master III, the Master III Entities, the BCR Entities or the BCR individuals will have any further obligations under this Agreement.

               (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.2 to the contrary, in the event that the BCR Entities have failed to (x) either satisfy the condition precedent set forth in Section 6.1(d) as a result of the BCR Entities delivering to Forest City one or more Required Estoppel Certificates that identify a violation, breach or default that, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a valid claim of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) or more or the BCR Entities not delivering to Forest City an Estoppel Certificate (other than a Required Estoppel Certificate) or (y) deliver to Forest City a waiver with respect to the matter identified in Schedule 9.2(c), and Forest City is unwilling to waive the same and elects to terminate this Agreement, Forest City will pay to the BCR Entities, as liquidated damages, reimbursement for all reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by the BCR Entities in connection with this transaction up to a maximum of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) within ten (10) days after receipt of a demand for such payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the BCR Entities. Upon payment of the same, none of Forest City, the BCR Entities or the BCR Individuals will have any further obligations under this Agreement. In the event that Forest City elects to waive the satisfaction of the condition precedent set forth in Section 6.1(d), the BCR Entities acknowledge that Forest City will be entitled to be indemnified against any Losses incurred as a result of any claim that may arise from or that is related to such waiver, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 8.1, 8.5(b) and 8.5(c).

60

          9.3 Default Prior to Principal Closing.

               (a) If the conditions precedent to the obligations of Forest City set forth in Sections 6.1(a) or 6.1(c) are not satisfied on or before December 15, 2006, and Forest City is unwilling to waive the unmet conditions, then Forest City will have the right either:

               (i) to terminate this Agreement and receive from the BCR Entities, as liquidated damages, reimbursement for all reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by Forest City in connection with this transaction up to a maximum of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00); or

               (ii) to xxx for specific performance of the BCR Entities’ obligations under this Agreement.

If Forest City elects the remedy in clause (i) above, the BCR Entities will pay the amount of the liquidated damages to Forest City within ten (10) days after demand therefore by wire transfer to an account designated by FCEI. Upon payment of the liquidated damages, none of Forest City, Master III, the Master III Entities, the BCR Entities or the BCR Individuals will have any further obligations under this Agreement.

               (b) If the conditions precedent to the obligations of the BCR Entities and BCR Individuals set forth in Sections 6.2(a), Section 6.2(b), Section 6.2(d) or Section 6.2(j) are not satisfied on or before December 15, 2006, and the BCR Entities and BCR Individuals are unwilling to waive the unmet conditions, then the BCR Entities will have the right to terminate this Agreement and receive from Forest City, as liquidated damages, reimbursement for all reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by the BCR Entities and BCR Individuals in connection with this transaction up to a maximum of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00). If the BCR Entities elect this remedy, FCEI will pay the amount of the liquidated damages to the BCR Entities and the BCR Individuals within ten (10) days after demand therefore by wire transfer to an account designated by the BCR Entities. Upon payment of the liquidated damages, none of Forest City, the BCR Entities or the BCR Individuals will have any further obligations under this Agreement.

               (c) The parties acknowledge that: (i) the amount payable pursuant to Sections 9.2(c), 9.3(a) or 9.3(b) is a reasonable estimate of and bear a reasonable relationship to the damages that would be suffered and the costs that would be incurred as a result of the failure of the Closing to occur for the reasons specified; (ii) the actual damages suffered and costs incurred as a result of such failure to close would be extremely difficult and impractical to determine; (iii) each party seeks to limit its liability under this Agreement to the amount of such liquidated damages in the event this Agreement is terminated and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement do not close for the reasons specified; and (iv) the amount payable under Section 9.2(c), 9.3(a) or Section 9.3(b) above constitutes valid liquidated damages.

          9.4 Default Prior to Deferred Closing.

               (a) If the conditions precedent to the obligations of Forest City set forth in Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.1(c) are not satisfied on or before June 30, 2007, and Forest City is

61

unwilling to waive the unmet conditions, then Forest City will have the right to xxx for specific performance of the BCR Entities’ obligations under this Agreement related to the Nets.

               (b) If the conditions precedent to the obligations of the BCR Entities and BCR Individuals set forth in Section 6.2(a), Section 6.2(b) or Section 6.2(d) are not satisfied on or before June 30, 2007, and the BCR Entities are unwilling to waive the unmet conditions, then the BCR Entities and the BCR Individuals will have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to the Nets as the sole and exclusive remedy for Forest City’s failure to satisfy such conditions precedent.

          9.5 Default Prior to Development Property Closing.

               (a) If the conditions precedent to the obligations of Forest City set forth in Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.1(c) are not satisfied prior to the expiration of the applicable time period established in the third to final paragraph of Section 2.3(g), and Forest City is unwilling to waive the unmet conditions, then Forest City will have the right to xxx for specific performance of the BCR Entities’ obligations under this Agreement related to the applicable Development Property.

               (b) If the conditions precedent to the obligations of the BCR Entities and BCR Individuals set forth in Section 6.2(a), Section 6.2(b) or Section 6.2(d) are not satisfied prior to the expiration of the applicable time period established in the third to final paragraph of Section 2.3(g), and the BCR Entities and the BCR Individuals are unwilling to waive the unmet conditions, then the BCR Entities and the BCR Individuals will have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to the applicable Development Property and, as the sole and exclusive remedy for Forest City’s failure to satisfy such conditions precedent, the ownership of the applicable Development Property will remain unchanged, except that (i) the “Continuation Option,” as such term is defined in the organizational documents for the relevant Development Property Joint Venture, will be deemed to have occurred and (ii) such organizational documents will be amended to provide that the relevant BCR Entity and the BCR Individuals will be entitled to immediately exercise the “buy-sell” option and the “Put Right” with respect to the relevant Development Property Owner or other jointly owned entity pursuant to the terms of Section 5.05 and Section 8.04, respectively, of the relevant organizational document.

65

          10.13 Severability. If any provision hereof is held invalid or not enforceable to its fullest extent, such provision will be enforced to the extent permitted by law, and the validity of the remaining provisions hereof will not be affected thereby.

          10.14 Prior Negotiations; Construction. No negotiations concerning or modifications made to prior drafts of this Agreement will be construed in any manner to limit, reduce or impair the rights, remedies, duties and obligations of the parties under this Agreement or to restrict or expand the meaning of any of the provisions of this Agreement or to construe any of the provisions of this Agreement in any party’s favor. The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party will not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendment, Schedule or Exhibit hereto.

     (b) if the Managing Member reasonably determines that an adjustment is necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Members, the Gross Asset Values of all assets of the Company will be adjusted to equal their respective gross fair market values, as determined by the Managing Member using a reasonable method of valuation, as of the following times:

30

The Managing Member, in acting on behalf of the Company as Tax Matters Member of a Property Owner or Service Company, will afford the Members the same rights with respect to Property Owner or Service Company tax matters as afforded to the Members under this Section 5.7. Each of the Members will give prompt written notice to the Managing Member of the receipt of any written notice that the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority intends to examine the Member’s income tax returns for any year, the receipt of written notice of the beginning of an administrative proceeding relating to the Member under Section 6223 of the Code and the receipt of written notice of the final administrative adjustment relating to the Member pursuant to Section 6223 of the Code, provided the examination,

RIGHTS, DUTIES AND RESTRICTIONS OF THE MANAGING MEMBER

     6.1. Expenditures by the Company. The Managing Member is hereby authorized to pay compensation for accounting, administrative, legal, technical, management and other services rendered to the Company. All such Administrative Expenditures will be made on behalf of the Company, and the Managing Member will be entitled to reimbursement by the Company for any such Administrative Expenditures. The Company will also assume, and pay when due, all Administrative Expenses.

32

     6.2. Powers and Duties of Managing Member. The Managing Member will be responsible for the management of the Company’s business and affairs. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, and subject to Sections 6.3 and 6.4, the Managing Member will have, and is hereby granted, full power and authority to take all actions, for and on behalf of the Company, as the Managing Member, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes for which the Company was organized. Without limiting the foregoing, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, and subject to Sections 6.3 and 6.4, the Managing Member will have the power and authority, in its sole discretion:

     (a) To own, develop, redevelop, manage, operate, provide services to, improve, remodel, alter, repair, maintain, grant easements appurtenant to and otherwise deal with all or any part of the Properties;

     (b) To lease, extend or renew leases and amend the terms of leases with respect to all or any part of the Properties;

     (c) To acquire any additional property, whether personal, real or intangible, or any interest therein;

     (d) To borrow any funds, to refinance any indebtedness, to repay or settle any indebtedness and enter into related contracts and arrangements, including interest rate swaps, caps and xxxxxx;

     (e) To encumber, subdivide, partition, sell, transfer, exchange for other property, vacate or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Properties or any interest therein;

     (f) To employ Persons for the operation and management of the Company’s business or to contract with other Persons for such operation and management;

     (g) To enter into, perform, amend, cancel or rescind contracts and other obligations on behalf of the Company, including insurance contracts;

     (h) To conduct banking transactions; to draw, sign, accept, endorse, guarantee, deliver, receive and pay any checks, drafts, bills of exchange, acceptances, notes and other instruments for or relating to the payment of money; to make deposits into and withdrawals from the Company’s bank accounts; and to negotiate or discount commercial paper, acceptances, negotiable instruments, bills of exchange and drafts;

33

     (i) To demand, xxx for, receive and otherwise take steps to collect or settle any debts, rents and other amounts owed to the Company; to commence, prosecute, defend and settle any legal proceedings or arbitration in which the Company is or may hereafter have an interest;

     (j) To prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, all financial and other reports with respect to the operations of the Company and all federal and state tax returns and reports;

     (k) To do all acts that are necessary, customary or appropriate for the protection and preservation of the Company’s assets, including the establishment of reserves; and

     (l) In general, to exercise all of the rights, privileges and powers permitted to be had and exercised by a managing member under the provisions of the Act.

Except to the extent expressly set forth herein, the Managing Member, in its capacity as such, will not be required to expend its own funds to pay any obligation to third parties on behalf of the Company or to undertake any individual liability or obligation on behalf of the Company.

     6.3. Promissory Notes. The Managing Member will have the authority, in its discretion, to cause the Company from time to time to make loans to Forest City Rental Properties Corporation, provided Forest City Rental Properties Corporation is a principal borrower under FCEI’s principal revolving credit facility, or to FCEI or another wholly owned subsidiary of FCEI that is a principal borrower under such credit facility (Forest City Rental Properties Corporation, FCEI or such other subsidiary, the “FCE Borrower”), but in each case only if no Class A Cumulative Distribution Shortfall exists at the time the loans are made. Each such loan will be represented by a promissory note payable to the Company and executed by the FCE Borrower, which promissory note will be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (a “Promissory Note”). Each Promissory Note will bear interest at a commercially reasonable rate. The obligations of the borrower under each Promissory Note may, if the Managing Member deems necessary or appropriate, be subordinated to the obligations of FCEI and the FCE

34

Borrower under FCEI’s and the FCE Borrower’s principal revolving credit facilities. Any such subordination of the Promissory Notes will be evidenced by a subordination agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the lenders under such credit facilities, provided that any such subordination agreement does not preclude the repayment of the Promissory Notes in accordance with their terms and this Agreement unless there is a default under such credit facility. If the FCE Borrower that signs any Promissory Note ceases at any time to be a principal borrower under FCEI’s principal revolving credit facility, FCEI will immediately cause the Promissory Note to be assumed by FCEI or another wholly owned subsidiary of FCEI that is a principal borrower under such credit facility. If a Class A Cumulative Distribution Shortfall occurs while any Promissory Notes are outstanding, the Managing Member will cause the Company to demand payment of the Promissory Notes in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the amount of the Class A Cumulative Distribution Shortfall and (b) the unpaid principal balance of all Promissory Notes then outstanding. If the Company receives an Exchange Notice and either (i) elects to pay the Exchange Consideration in cash rather than assign the obligation to pay the Exchange Consideration to FCEI and does not have enough cash to pay the Exchange Consideration in full, (ii) elects to assign the obligation to pay the Exchange Consideration to FCEI, but FCEI declines to assume the obligation and the Company does not have enough cash to pay the Exchange Consideration in full or (iii) the Company is being dissolved and its assets are being liquidated, the Managing Member will cause the Company to demand payment of the Promissory Notes in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount needed to pay the Exchange Consideration in full (if applicable) and (y) the unpaid principal balance of all Promissory Notes then outstanding. In the event that the Managing Member does not cause the Company to demand payment of the Promissory Notes pursuant to the foregoing two sentences, the Members

35

holding a majority of the then outstanding Class A Common Units will have the right to cause the Company to demand payment and enforce its rights under the Promissory Notes. In addition to the Company’s obligations under Section 5.5, upon the request of a Member holding Class A Common Units, the Managing Member will provide such Member with the principal amount of each loan outstanding pursuant to this Section 6.3, together with a copy of the Promissory Note evidencing each such loan and any subordination agreements.

     6.4. Decisions Requiring Vote of Majority-in-Interest of Members. The following actions require the consent of a Majority-in-Interest of the Members:

     (a) A general assignment for the benefit of creditors or appointment or acquiescence in the appointment of a custodian, receiver or trustee for all or any part of the assets of the Company.

     (b) Commencement of any proceeding for Bankruptcy on behalf of the Company.

     (d) Issuance of any Units, except as provided in this Agreement or the Master Contribution Agreement.

     (e) Entering into any contract or taking any action, or permitting any Property Owner or Service Company from entering into any contract or taking any action, that would materially interfere with the Company’s legal right to perform its obligations under the Exchange Rights or that would otherwise alter such Exchange Rights.

     (f) Entering into any contract or taking any action, or permitting any Property Owner or Service Company from entering into any contract or taking any action, that would materially interfere with the Company’s legal right to make the allocations and distributions to the holders of Class A Common Units in accordance with Article V or that would otherwise alter such allocation and distribution rights.

     (g) Making an investment in the securities of any Entity, other than investments in the Promissory Notes and Interest in Property Owners and Service Companies, deposits in bank accounts and other customary investments of cash balances, and other investments permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

36

     (h) Using the Properties or the Service Companies to secure the debts or obligations of any Person other than the Company, the Property Owners or the Service Companies.

     (i) Loaning funds to any Entity, except for loans evidenced by Promissory Notes in accordance with Section 6.3.

     (j) Settling any claim or action involving the Members holding Class A Common Units unless the settlement includes an unconditional release of such Members with respect to such claim or action.

     (k) Admitting new Members, except as provided in Section 2.6 and for Substitute Members.

     (l) Admitting any additional or successor Managing Member, except in connection with a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale involving FCEI, its outstanding equity securities or a substantial portion of its assets.

     (m) A transfer of ownership of the Managing Member, except for transfers (i) to an Entity that is, directly or indirectly, wholly owned by FCEI and (ii) in connection with a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale involving FCEI, its outstanding equity securities or a substantial portion of its assets.

     (n) Permitting any Property Owner or Service Company not to distribute cash available for distribution to the Company on a current basis if the failure to distribute such cash will result in a Class A Cumulative Distribution Shortfall or inability to pay Exchange Consideration.

     (o) Permitting any Property Owner or Service Company to establish cash reserves except as may be required by any third-party lender or, provided the reserves do not result in any Class A Cumulative Distribution Shortfall or inability to pay Exchange Consideration, as may be customary and reasonable.

Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, including this Section 6.4 and Section 11.7, the Members will have no right to vote on any matter concerning the business and affairs of the Company. For the consideration received by them under this Agreement, including the rights and preferences pertaining to the respective Common Units held by them, the Members waive, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right that they might have, without the approval of a Majority-in-Interest of the Members, to file a petition or initiate any other proceeding that seeks a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company.

37

     6.5. Reliance by Third Parties. Any Person dealing with the Company will be entitled to assume that the Managing Member has full power and authority to encumber, sell or otherwise use any and all assets of the Company and to enter into any contracts on behalf of the Company, and such Person will be entitled to deal with the Managing Member as if it were the Company’s sole party in interest, both legally and beneficially. Each Member hereby waives any and all defenses or other remedies that may be available against such Person to contest, negate or disaffirm any action of the Managing Member in connection with any such dealing. In no event will any Person dealing with the Managing Member or its representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expedience of any act or action of the Managing Member or its representatives. Each certificate, document or other instrument executed on behalf of the Company by the Managing Member will be conclusive evidence in favor of any Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (a) at the time of the execution and effect of such certificate, document or instrument, this Agreement (or prior versions thereof) was in full force and effect; (b) the Managing Member was authorized and empowered to execute and deliver such certificate, document or instrument on behalf of the Company; and (c) such certificate, document or instrument is binding upon the Company.

To the extent allowable under applicable law, title to all or any part of the assets of the Company may be held in the name of the Company or in the name of any other Person that is (a) a special purpose Entity, (b) wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company and (c) disregarded as a separate Entity for federal tax purposes.

     6.7. Compensation of the Managing Member. The Managing Member will not be entitled to any compensation for services rendered to the Company solely in its capacity as

38

Managing Member except with respect to reimbursement of expenditures pursuant to Section 6.1.

     6.8. Waiver and Indemnification.

     (a) None of the Members, including the Managing Member, their respective Affiliates and any Person acting on their behalf (each an “Indemnified Party”) will be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Company or to any other Member for any acts or omissions performed or omitted to be performed by them within the scope of the authority conferred upon them by this Agreement and the Act, provided that, the Indemnified Party’s conduct or omission to act was taken in good faith and in the belief that such conduct or omission was in the best interests of the Company and did not constitute fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or recklessness. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from any liability, demand, claim, action or cause of action, assessment, loss, fine, penalty, cost, damage and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and expenses (each a “Loss”) incurred by them by reason of any acts or omissions performed or omitted to be performed by them within the scope of the authority conferred upon them by this Agreement and the Act and in accordance with the standards set forth above or in enforcing the provisions of this indemnity.

     (b) The Indemnified Parties will be entitled to receive, upon application therefor, advances to cover the costs of defending any proceeding against them by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted to be performed by them within the scope of the authority conferred upon them by this Agreement and the Act; provided that, such advances will be repaid to the Company, without interest, if such Person is found by a court of competent jurisdiction upon entry of a final judgment not to be entitled to such indemnification. All rights to indemnification hereunder will survive the dissolution of the Company. The indemnification rights contained in this Agreement will be cumulative of, and in addition to, any and all other rights, remedies and recourse to which the Indemnified Party may be entitled, whether at law or at equity.

     (c) The Managing Member will give written notice to the other Members whenever any Indemnified Party asserts a claim for indemnification or expenses advancement under this Section 6.8.

     (d) No Member will have any personal liability with respect to the foregoing indemnification, which will be satisfied solely out of the assets of the Company.

     (e) The indemnification provided by this Section 6.8 will be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnified Party or any other Person may be entitled under any agreement, as a matter of law or otherwise, will continue after an Indemnified Party ceases to be a Member and will inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnified Party unless otherwise provided in a written agreement with such Indemnified Party.

39

     (f) The provisions of this Section 6.8 are for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.8 or any provision hereof will be prospective only and will not affect the rights of any Indemnified Party under this Section 6.8 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

     (c) The Managing Member will have the right, in respect of any of its powers or obligations hereunder, to act through any of its duly authorized officers and any attorney or attorneys-in-fact duly appointed by the Managing Member.

     6.11. Certain Restrictions on Property Owners and Service Companies.

The Managing Member will continue to act to enforce all of the rights of the Company pursuant to any such obligations until such obligations are paid in full or otherwise satisfied.

     7.5. Distributions in Kind. To the extent practicable, all distributions under Section 7.2 will be paid in cash. In the event that it becomes necessary to make a distribution of property of the Company in kind, the Managing Member may Transfer and convey such property to the distributees as tenants in common, subject to any liabilities attached thereto, so as to vest

     Upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the Company will continue solely for the purposes of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets and satisfying the claims of its creditors and Members.

An Assignee will have no right (i) to receive notices or to vote on any matter requiring the consent or approval of Members, (ii) to demand or receive any account of the Company’s business, (iii) to inspect the Company’s books and records or (iv) to any right or privilege under this Agreement of the Member transferring the Common Unit other than the right to receive such distributions and, if applicable, the benefit of the Exchange Right.

The Managing Member or the holders of Class A Common Units, as the case may be, may in their discretion consent to a transfer under this Section 8.1(d), but not consent to the admission of the transferee as a Substituted Member, in which case the transferee will be deemed to be an Assignee. If the Managing Member or the holders of the Class A Common Units, as the case may be, consent to the transferee becoming a Substitute Member, the transferee will become a Substituted Member only upon the execution and deliver of an instrument of assignment and assumption among the transferor, the transferee and the Company substantially in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C.

     8.2. Restrictions on Transfer. In addition to any other restrictions on Transfer herein contained, in no event may any Transfer of a Common Unit by any Member be made (i) to any Person or Entity who or which, in each case, to the knowledge of the transferring Member, lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own a Common Unit, or, except with the prior written consent of the Managing Member, to a Person or Entity that is not either (x) an “Accredited Investor” within the meaning of Regulation D

46

promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act or (y) a Person with a “Purchaser Representative” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act; (ii) in violation of this Agreement; (iii) in violation of applicable law; (iv) of any component portion of a Common Unit, such as the Capital Account, or rights to Net Cash Flow, separate and apart from other components of the Common Unit; (v) if such Transfer would cause a termination of the Company for federal income tax purposes; (vi) if such Transfer would, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, cause the Company to cease to be classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes; (vii) if such Transfer would, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, cause the Company to become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title 1 of ERISA, a “party-in-interest” (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a “disqualified person” (as defined in Section 4975(c) of the Code), (viii) if such Transfer would, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, cause any portion of the assets of the Company to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101; (ix) if such Transfer would result in the transferor or the transferee owning Common Units having a value (computed as of the date of such proposed Transfer by multiplying the FCEI Stock Amount for such Common Units by the Current Per Share Market Price) of less than $20,000, unless either (A) such Common Units constitute all of the Common Units then owned by the transferor, (B) the transferee is an existing Member or (C) the Managing Member has consented to such transfer; (x) if such Transfer may not be effected without registration of such Common Units under the Securities Act or would otherwise violate any federal, state or foreign securities laws or regulations applicable to the Company or such Common Units; (xi) to a lender to the Company or any Person who is related (within the meaning of Section 1.752-4(b) of the Regulations) to any lender to the Company whose loan constitutes a “nonrecourse liability” (within the meaning of Section 1.752-1(a)(2) of the Regulations) without the consent of the Managing Member,

47

unless the Company’s basis for tax purposes would not be reduced as a result of such Transfer; (xii) except with the express written consent of the Managing Member, if such Transfer, in the opinion of counsel to the Managing Member, would result in either the Company having more than one hundred Members or in the Company being classified as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of the Code and the Regulations; (xiii) except with the express written consent of the Managing Member, to any Entity that is a partnership, grantor trust or S corporation if (A) substantially all of the value of the interest of a person owning an interest in such Entity is attributable to the Entity’s (direct or indirect) interest in a Common Unit, and (B) a principal purpose of the use of the tiered arrangement is to permit the Company to satisfy the 100-person limitation in paragraph (h) (i) (ii) of Section 1.7704-1 of the Regulations; (xiv) except with respect to (A) transfers qualifying as a “private transfer” for purposes of Regulations Section 1.7704-1(e) or any successor provision or (B) up to two Transfers (excluding for this purpose, transfers qualifying as “private transfers”) of interests directly or indirectly held by the estate of or other successor to, a person that has died within the preceding twelve (12) months, if the Managing Member determines in its reasonable discretion that if it permitted such transfer the Company would be unable to obtain an opinion of counsel recognized standing to the effect that the Company should not be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code or (xv) if the Transfer would result in the payment of a participation or transaction fee under the terms of any agreement in existence on the date of this Agreement, unless the transferor first reimburses the Company for the amount of the fee.

     8.3. Attempted Transfers That Do Not Comply with this Article VIII. Any attempt to Transfer Common Units that does not comply with this Article VIII will be ineffective. In the

event of any such attempted Transfer, the Managing Member may, in its discretion, upon written notice to the transferring Member with a thirty (30) day period for the transferring Member to cure, withhold any distributions, decline to honor any Exchange Rights or refuse to recognize any other rights of ownership of the Common Units purported to be transferred until the attempted Transfer is rescinded or a Transfer in compliance with this Article VIII is made.

     8.4. Record of Transfers; Certificates for Units. The Managing Member will maintain a record of all Transfers of Units. None of the Units will be represented by certificates.

     11.13. GOVERNING LAW. AS PERMITTED BY SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT WILL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     11.14. Jurisdiction. Each of the parties submits to the jurisdiction of any New York State Court or Federal Court of the United States of America sitting in the borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any such court, in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment. All claims in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding may be brought, heard and determined in such New York State Court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal Court. Final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding will be conclusive and may be enforced in other

55

jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each of the parties waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any New York State Court or Federal Court sitting in the borough of Manhattan. Each of the parties waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such suit, action or proceeding in any such court. Nothing contained in this Section 11.14 will be construed as preventing any of the parties from (i) objecting to the jurisdiction of any New York State Court on the ground that the matter involved exceeds the statutory jurisdiction of such court or (ii) from seeking to remove any suit, action or proceeding from a New York State Court to a Federal Court sitting in the borough of Manhattan, or vice versa.

ADDENDUM TO AMENDED AND RESTATED
LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY OPERATING AGREEMENT
OF
FOREST CITY MASTER ASSOCIATES III, LLC

     FOREST CITY ENTERPRISES, INC., an Ohio corporation, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, covenants and agrees with the Company and Members holding Class A Common Units as follows:

     1. Definitions. Each of the defined terms used in this Addendum has the meaning given to it in the foregoing Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of Forest City Master Associates III, LLC (the “Operating Agreement”).

     2. Reservation of FCEI Stock. Commencing on the date hereof and at all times thereafter until all of the Class A Common Units have been exchanged, FCEI will reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued FCEI Stock or FCEI Stock held in treasury, solely for the purpose of issuance upon exchange of the Class A Common Units, the full number of shares of FCEI Stock then deliverable upon exchange of all of the Class A Common Units then outstanding. Prior to the first date upon which any portion of the Class A Common Units may be converted to FCEI Stock, FCEI will obtain all consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, clearances and qualifications of any Governmental Authority (as defined in the Master Contribution Agreement) or stock exchange authorities for the issuance and subsequent trading of the FCEI Stock issuable upon exchange of the Class A Common Units (other than the registration of the FCEI Stock with the SEC, which registration will be governed by the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in the Master Contribution Agreement)).

     3. Assumption of Exchange Right. If the Company assigns to FCEI the Company’s right to acquire the Offered Units (as defined in Exhibit A of the Operating Agreement) and its

58

obligation to pay the Exchange Consideration, FCEI may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to assume that right and obligation, acquire the Offered Units and pay the Exchange Consideration in accordance with the terms of Exhibit A. Any Offered Units acquired by FCEI upon exercise of the Exchange Rights will be immediately converted into Class B Common Units and remain outstanding, and FCEI will succeed to the Capital Account attributable to such Offered Units. For these purposes, the Capital Account attributable to such Offered Units will be a pro rata portion (based on the ratio of the number of such Offered Units over the total number of Class A Common Units held by the Exercising Holder immediately prior to the exchange) of the Capital Accounts attributable to all of the Class A Common Units held by the Exercising Holder immediately prior to the exchange. Any such acquisition by FCEI of Offered Units will be treated by the parties as a purchase of partnership interests for federal income tax purposes.

     4. Clawback. If the Company receives an Exchange Notice and either (i) elects to pay the Exchange Consideration in cash rather than assign the obligation to pay the Exchange Consideration to FCEI and does not have enough cash to pay the Exchange Consideration in full or (ii) elects to assign the obligation to pay the Exchange Consideration to FCEI, but FCEI declines to assume the obligation and the Company does not have enough cash to pay the Exchange Consideration in full, FCEI will, and will cause each of the FCE Entities and any other Affiliates of FCEI that have received distributions from the Company under Section 5.2 of the Operating Agreement to, make capital contributions to the Company in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount of all distributions previously paid to FCEI, the FCE Entities and any other Affiliates of FCEI and (y) the amount of cash needed by the Company to pay the Exchange Consideration.

EXHIBIT A TO THE MASTER III OPERATING AGREEMENT

EXCHANGE RIGHTS

     1. Definitions. Each capitalized term that is used in this Exhibit A and is not otherwise defined has the meaning given to it in the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of Forest City Master Associates III, LLC (the “Operating Agreement”). In addition, each of the following terms has the meaning set forth below:

     (a) “Business Day” means days other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

     (b) “Exchange Consideration” means the product of (i) the FCEI Stock Amount with respect to the Offered Units and (ii) the Current Per Share Market Price, each computed as of the date on which the Exchange Notice was delivered to the Company.

     (c) “FCEI Class A Stock” means the Class A Common Stock, $.33-1/3 par value, of FCEI; “FCEI Class B Stock” means the Class B Common Stock, $.33-1/3 par value, of FCEI; and “FCEI Common Stock” means, collectively, the FCEI Class A Stock and the FCEI Class B Stock.

     (d) “FCEI Stock Amount” means the number of shares of FCEI Class A Stock equal to the number of Offered Units multiplied by the Conversion Factor; except that, if FCEI issues to all holders of FCEI Class A Stock rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities entitling the shareholders to subscribe for or purchase additional shares of FCEI Common Stock, other securities or property of FCEI (collectively, “additional rights”), then the FCEI Stock Amount will also include such additional rights as a holder of that number of shares of FCEI Class A Stock would have been entitled to receive.

     (e) “Protection Period” has the meaning given to it in the Tax Protection Agreement executed and delivered in connection with the Master Contribution Agreement.

     2. Exchange. At any time following the earlier to occur of (a) ___, 2007, (b) the death of the direct or indirect holder or beneficial owner thereof, (c) the termination of the Protection Period with respect to the direct or indirect holder or beneficial owner thereof or (d) the date of the first public announcement of a transaction of the type described in Section 10,

a holder of Class A Common Units will have the right to exchange all or any portion of such holder’s Class A Common Units (the “Offered Units”) for the Exchange Consideration, subject to the limitations contained in Paragraph 4 below. The holder (an “Exercising Holder”) may exercise the Exchange Right by delivering an Exchange Notice to the Company.

     3. Payment of Exchange Consideration; Assignment of Obligations to FCEI. The Exchange Consideration will, in the sole discretion of the Company, be paid in the form of (a) cash in the amount of the Exchange Consideration, payable by delivery of a cashier’s or certified check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Exercising Holder’s designated account, or (b) shares of FCEI Class A Stock (valued at the Current Per Share Market Price as of the date on which the Exchange Notice was delivered to the Company) equal in number to the FCEI Stock Amount or (c) any combination of cash and FCEI Class A Stock (valued at the Current Per Share Market Price as of the date on which the Exchange Notice was delivered to the Company) equal in value to the Exchange Consideration. In addition to the Exchange Consideration, concurrently with the completion of any exchange pursuant to this Exhibit A, the Company will pay to the Exercising Holder cash in an amount equal to any Class A Cumulative Distribution Shortfall and payments under Section 5.2(d) of this Agreement with respect to the Offered Units that are outstanding on the date of the exchange. The Company may, in its discretion, acquire the Offered Units and pay the Exchange Consideration by itself or may assign to FCEI its right to acquire the Offered Units and to pay the Exchange Consideration. FCEI may, in its sole and absolute discretion elect to accept such assignment, in which event it will pay the Exchange Consideration. Any Offered Units acquired by the Company will be cancelled and no longer remain outstanding, and the Capital Account attributable to such Offered Units will be deemed to be discharged and satisfied in full in consideration of the Exchange

Consideration, unless the Exchange Consideration used to acquire the Offered Units is contributed to the Company by FCEI; if the Exchange Consideration is contributed to the Company by FCEI, the Offered Units will be converted into Class B Common Units, issued to FCEI and remain outstanding, and FCEI will succeed to the Capital Account attributable to such Offered Units. Similarly, any Offered Units acquired directly by FCEI will be immediately converted into Class B Common Units and remain outstanding, and FCEI will succeed to the Capital Account attributable to such Offered Units. For these purposes, the Capital Account attributable to such Offered Units will be a pro rata portion (based on the ratio of the number of such Offered Units over the total number of Class A Common Units held by the Exercising Holder immediately prior to the exchange) of the Capital Accounts attributable to all of the Class A Common Units held by the Exercising Holder immediately prior to the exchange. Any such acquisition by FCEI of Offered Units will be treated by the parties as a purchase of partnership interests for federal income tax purposes.

     4. Limitations on Exercise of Exchange Rights. Exchange Rights may be exercised at any time after the date set forth in Paragraph 2 and from time to time, except that, without the prior written consent of the Company, (a) only one (1) Exchange Notice may be delivered to the Company by each holder of Class A Common Units during any calendar quarter (except that the limitation in this item (a) will not apply to any Exchange Notice delivered as a result of the occurrence of any of the events set forth in items (b) through (d) of Paragraph 2 or, after the expiration of the Protection Period (as defined in the Tax Protection Agreement), if any of the Protected Parties (as defined in the Tax Protection Agreement) recognizes Disposition Gain (as defined in the Tax Protection Agreement)); and (b) no Exchange Notice may be delivered with respect to Class A Common Units either (i) having a value of less than $20,000 calculated by

multiplying the FCEI Stock Amount with respect to such Class A Common Units by the Current Per Share Market Price or (ii) if a holder does not own Class A Common Units having a value of $20,000 or more, constituting less than all of the Class A Common Units owned by such holder.

     5. Election Notice. Within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of an Exchange Notice delivered in accordance with Paragraph 2, the Company will deliver to the Exercising Holder a notice (an “Election Notice”) setting forth the computation of the Exchange Consideration, the form of the Exchange Consideration to be paid to such Exercising Holder, and the date, time and location for completion of the exchange, which date may not be later than (a) ten (10) days after the delivery of the Election Notice in the case of Offered Units to be exchanged for FCEI Class A Stock; provided, however, the Exercising Holder will have the right, in such Exercising Holder’s sole discretion, to request that the delivery of the FCEI Class A Stock be delayed to the extent necessary to comply with law or any regulatory filings, including, without limitation, the HSR Act (as defined below) and any filings thereunder and (b) sixty (60) days after the delivery of the Election Notice in the case of Offered Units to be exchanged for cash, except that, if the amount of cash is less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), the date may not be later than thirty (30) days after the date of the delivery of the Election Notice. If the Company fails to deliver the Election Notice within such ten-day period, the Company will be deemed to have elected FCEI Class A Stock as the form of the Exchange Consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the completion of the exchange to occur as quickly as possible. Once the Company has delivered an Election Notice with respect to an Exchange Notice, the Exchange Notice may not be withdrawn or modified by the Exercising Holder without the consent of the

Company. Similarly, if the Company delivers an Election Notice to an Exercising Holder, the Company may not modify the Election Notice without the consent of the Exercising Holder.

     6. Closing Deliveries. At the closing of the exchange of Offered Units, payment of the Exchange Consideration will be accompanied by proper instruments of transfer and assignment and by the delivery of:

     (a) representations and warranties of the Exercising Holder that (i) it has due authority to sell all of the right, title and interest in and to such Offered Units to the Company or FCEI, as the case may be, (ii) the Offered Units are being sold free and clear of all Liens except, if all or part of the Exchange Consideration is being paid in cash, for Liens being discharged concurrently with the payment of the cash, and (iii) any FCEI Class A Stock issued to the Exchanging Holder will not be transferred in violation of the Securities Act.

     (b) representations and warranties of the Company or FCEI, as the case may be, that (i) it has due authority for the purchase of such Offered Units and (ii) if shares of FCEI Class A Stock are delivered in payment of all or any portion of the Exchange Consideration, such             shares have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable and are free and clear of all Liens.

     (c) if shares of FCEI Class A Stock are delivered in payment of all or any portion of the Exchange Consideration, (i) a stock certificate or certificates evidencing the shares of FCEI Class A Stock registered in the name of the Exercising Holder or its designee, with an appropriate legend reflecting that such shares are not registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold unless registered pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom is available.

     7. Offered Units Free and Clear of Liens; Transfer Tax. All Offered Units tendered to the Company or FCEI upon exercise of Exchange Rights will be delivered to the Company or FCEI free and clear of all Liens. If any state or local stamp or securities transfer tax is payable as a result of the transfer of the Exchange Consideration to any Person other than the transferring holder, the transferring holder will assume and pay such tax. FCEI will be responsible for the payment of, and for the filing of any returns related to, any real property transfer taxes payable as a result of the transfer of the Exchange Consideration to any Person (including, without limitation, the transferring holder.)

     8. Exchange Rights of Key Management, Charitable Organizations and Institutional Lenders. Any members of Key Management, Affiliates of a member of Key Management and charitable organizations that become Assignees of rights with respect to Class A Common Units in accordance with Section 8.1(c) of the Operating Agreement will, at the time the Company is notified of the assignment, be deemed to have delivered an Exchange Notice to the Company pursuant to Paragraph 2, and such Class A Common Units will be exchanged for cash or FCEI Class A Stock in accordance with this Exhibit A. Any institutional lender or other Entity that customarily loans money or provides other financial products secured by REIT OP-type units that becomes an Assignee of rights with respect to Class A Common Units in accordance with Section 8.1(c) of the Operating Agreement will, at the time the Company is notified that the institutional lender or other such Entity is foreclosing upon such rights, be deemed to have delivered an Exchange Notice pursuant to Paragraph 2, and such Class A Common Units will be exchanged for cash or FCEI Class A Stock in accordance with this Exhibit A.

     9. Rights of Assignee. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Operating Agreement, an Assignee of any holder of Class A Common Units may exercise the Exchange Rights of such holder of Class A Common Units pursuant to this Exhibit A, and such holder of Class A Common Units will be deemed to have assigned such Exchange Rights to such Assignee and will be bound by the exercise thereof by the Assignee. In connection with any exercise of such Exchange Rights by the Assignee, the Exchange Consideration will be paid by the Company directly to the Assignee and not to such holder.

     10. Conversion of FCEI Class A Stock. If the Company or FCEI is a party to any transaction (including, without limitation, a merger or consolidation) as a result of which shares of FCEI Class A Stock are converted into the right to receive shares of stock, other securities,

property (including cash) or any combination thereof, the Exchange Consideration will be, in lieu of each share of FCEI Class A Stock that would otherwise be included in the Exchange Consideration, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, property or any combination thereof that was received upon consummation of such transaction in return for one share of FCEI Class A Stock in such transaction. Notwithstanding the above, if, as part of such transaction, the form of consideration into which the FCEI Class A Stock is converted (other than cash) is not covered by the Registration Rights Agreement or a registration rights agreement with equivalent terms, then notwithstanding the terms of Paragraph 3 of this Exhibit A, the Exchange Consideration shall be paid in the form of cash.

     11. Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx. Upon exchange of the Class A Common Units, FCEI, the Company, the FCE Entities and the BCR Entities will make any filings and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any requisite clearances that may be required by the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), as provided in the Master Contribution Agreement. As contemplated by the Master Contribution Agreement, FCEI and the FCE Entities will bear all costs and expenses, including filing fees, incurred by FCEI, the Company, the FCE Entities or the BCR Entities in order to comply with the covenants contained in this Section 11.

     12. Headings of Subdivisions. The headings of the various paragraphs of this Exhibit A are for convenience of reference only and will not affect the interpretation of any of the provisions hereof.

     13. Severability of Provisions. If any rights, preferences, restrictions, terms or conditions applicable to the Class A Common Units set forth in the Operating Agreement or in this Exhibit A are invalid, unlawful or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of law

or public policy, all other rights, preferences, restrictions, terms or conditions applicable to the Class A Common Units set forth in the Operating Agreement or in this Exhibit A that can be given effect without the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable provision thereof will, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect and no other rights, preferences, restrictions, terms or conditions applicable to the Class A Common Units will be deemed dependent upon any other provision thereof.

     14. No Preemptive Rights. No holder of Class A Common Units will be entitled to any preemptive rights to subscribe for or acquire any unissued Units (whether now or hereafter authorized) or securities of the Company convertible into or carrying a right to subscribe to or acquire Units of the Company.

     15. Redemption at Option of Holders of Class A Common Units for In-Kind Distribution.

     (i) General.

          (A) At any time or times after the first anniversary of the date hereof, each holder of Class A Common Units has the right (the “Property Redemption Right”), exercisable individually or as part of a group of holders of Class A Common Units acting in concert, by delivery to the Managing Member of a notice (a “Notice of Redemption”), to request that the Company redeem all or a portion of the Class A Common Units held by such holder of Class A Common Units (each a “Redeeming Member”) for, subject to the terms hereof, one or more properties identified by such Redeeming Member and acquired by the Company from one or more third party sellers (each, an “In-Kind Redemption Property”); provided, however, that the Property Redemption Right may be exercised only with respect to an amount of Class A Common Units with an aggregate value of at least $5,000,000 (calculated by multiplying the FCEI Stock Amount with respect to the Class A Common Units that are the subject of the Notice of Redemption by the Current Per Share Market Price). The Notice of Redemption also shall set forth any supplements and/or modifications to the procedures set forth below in this Paragraph 15 for effectuating the Property Redemption Right that the Redeeming Member(s) will require. The Company will, promptly following receipt of any Notice of Redemption pursuant to this Paragraph 15, forward a copy of such notice to all record holders of Class A Common Units at the last address set forth in the Company’s registry of Members. The Company may in its sole discretion elect not to proceed with the in-kind redemption in accordance with the procedure set forth in this Paragraph 15, as supplemented and modified by the terms of any Notice of Redemption, by giving notice (a “Response Notice”) to the sender(s) of any Notice of Redemption within fifteen (15) days after

receipt of the Notice of Redemption if the Company determines in good faith that the Company will suffer any adverse effects from proceeding with the in-kind redemption.

          (B) If a Notice of Redemption containing a request for a Property Redemption Right has been delivered by one or more holders of Class A Common Units and the Company agrees, subject to the terms hereof, to proceed with the in-kind redemption, the Company will acquire an In-Kind Redemption Property identified by such Redeeming Member(s), provided the net fair value (as described below) of such property to the Company does not substantially exceed the aggregate value of the Class A Common Units that are the subject of the Notice of Redemption, and the Redeeming Member(s) undertake to pay the Company cash equal to the amount by which the net fair value of such In-Kind Redemption Property exceeds the aggregate value of the Class A Common Units that are the subject of the Notice of Redemption. If the net fair value of an In-Kind Redemption Property exceeds the aggregate value of the Class A Common Units that are the subject of the Notice of Redemption, such excess will be paid in cash to the Company by the Redeeming Member(s) at the closing of the redemption. If the aggregate value of the Class A Common Units that are the subject of the Notice of Redemption exceeds the net fair value of such In-Kind Redemption Property, then the Redeeming Member(s) designated by the Class A Member Representative in its sole discretion will retain the number of Class A Common Units (including if necessary fractional Class A Common Units) with a value equal to such excess.

          (C) In each case, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to distribute the In-Kind Redemption Property subject to sufficient “qualified liabilities” as defined in section 707 of the Code (with all costs of arranging such debt being borne by the Redeeming Member(s) through an appropriate adjustment to the property valuation) to enable the Redeeming Member(s) to avoid triggering their negative tax capital accounts as a result of the redemption. The Company will not be required to incur any expense or liability with respect to such debt unless and only to the extent that such expense is paid by the Redeeming Member(s) or taken into account in calculating the net fair value of the In-Kind Redemption Property. The qualified liabilities will have a minimum remaining term of at least 18 months and will have commercially reasonable terms, as determined in good faith by the Managing Member. At the request of the Company, the Redeeming Member(s) shall be responsible, at their expense, for arranging the indebtedness to be secured by the In-Kind Redemption Property to be distributed to such Redeeming Member(s) pursuant hereto, in which event any indebtedness arranged by the Redeeming Member(s) shall be presumed conclusively to satisfy this Paragraph 15(i)(C). Any such indebtedness shall provide that the debtholder’s recourse for repayment of such indebtedness shall be limited to the In-Kind Redemption Property and any guarantees provided by the Redeeming Member(s), it being acknowledged that the Company shall not have any personal recourse for the repayment of such indebtedness, or any resulting tax liability arising out of this transaction to the Redeeming Members.

          (D) In all events, neither the Managing Member, the Company nor any of their respective affiliates shall assume or be required to bear, directly or indirectly, any costs or expenses or any environmental, tax, legal, economic or reporting risks or

liabilities arising during or attributable to periods prior to the Company’s acquisition of the In-Kind Redemption Property. In particular, none of them will make any representations or warranties regarding the In-Kind Redemption Property so acquired, tax treatment, or otherwise, other than customary representations and warranties with respect to the periods during which the Company has owned the In-Kind Redemption Property. The Company shall assign to the Redeeming Member(s) any and all rights, if any, that it has with respect to an In-Kind Redemption Property pursuant to the contract for the acquisition of such In-Kind Redemption Property. Consistent with the foregoing, all legal, survey, title, environmental, financing and all other costs arising with respect to the acquisition of an In-Kind Redemption Property or the transfers of an In-Kind Redemption Property to the Redeeming Member(s) pursuant hereto (including the costs of negotiating any acquisition agreement for any In-Kind Redemption Property and any debt to be incurred by the Company with respect thereto) will be paid by the Redeeming Member(s) or included in the calculation of net fair value of the In-Kind Redemption Property at the time of any distribution to the Redeeming Member(s).

          (E) If in any Response Notice the Company disagrees with any or all of the supplements or modifications to the procedures described in this Paragraph 15 for effectuating the Property Redemption Right set forth in any Notice of Redemption but otherwise the Company is willing to proceed with the in-kind redemption, the Redeeming Member(s) who delivered the Notice of Redemption shall not be required to proceed with the in-kind redemption but may, within five (5) days after delivery of the Response Notice, withdraw such Notice of Redemption.

          (F) If within three months after acceptance of a Notice of Redemption sent by one or more Members the Company has not acquired an In-Kind Redemption Property identified by such Redeeming Member(s) for any reason (other than a default by the Company of its obligations under this Paragraph 15), the Company may, at its option, treat such Notice of Redemption as being void and of no further force or effect.

     (ii) In-Kind Redemption Property

          (A) The selection of an In-Kind Redemption Property shall be subject to the consent of the Managing Member, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. For purposes of clarification, a refusal to consent shall be deemed to be reasonable if (i) the Redeeming Member(s) either do(es) not perform Phase I environmental testing or it or they perform Phase I environmental testing and such Phase I does not indicate that “no material adverse environmental condition” exists or other language having substantially the same meaning, (ii) the Managing Member determines in its reasonable judgment that such In-Kind Redemption Property is reasonably likely to produce negative cash flow in the period prior to the date the Put (hereinafter defined) would be exercisable or (iii) in the case that any Redeeming Member(s) or an Affiliate of any Redeeming Member(s) is in employee of FCEI, or any subsidiary or Affiliate of FCEI, the Audit Committee of FCEI determines in good faith that the ownership of the In-Kind Redemption Property by such Redeeming Member(s) or Affiliate of any such Redeeming Member(s) would constitute a violation of any of FCEI’s then current

corporate policies or procedures or any non-competition provision in such Redeeming Member(s)’s or Redeeming Member(s) Affiliate’s employment agreement (if any). Further, if the Managing Member determines in good faith that the projected cash on cash return of any proposed In-Kind Redemption Property in the period prior to the date the Put would be exercisable is less than fifteen percent (15%) on an annual basis, the amount of such projected deficiency may in the Managing Member’s sole discretion be added to the calculation of net fair value of such In-Kind Redemption Property. Prior to making a proposal for the Company to acquire an In-Kind Redemption Property, the Redeeming Members shall fully negotiate a transaction (including price) with a prospective seller of such In-Kind Redemption Property and with all lenders, if any, and then the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate such transaction in accordance with its terms, subject to the Company’s consent right and the other provisions set forth in this Paragraph 15.

          (B) The Company will have a put option (the “Put”), exercisable no earlier than ninety (90) days and no later than one hundred ten (110) days after the Company acquires an In-Kind Redemption Property, to put such In-Kind Redemption Property to the Redeeming Members in exchange for all of their Class A Common Units (subject to the provisions of the last two sentences of the first paragraph of Paragraph 15(i)(B) of this Exhibit A). The “net fair value” of the In-Kind Redemption Property shall be the price the Company pays for such In-Kind Redemption Property, plus costs described in Paragraphs 15(i)(D) and 15(ii)(E) of this Exhibit A not paid by the Member(s) less the proceeds of any debt incurred to acquire such In-Kind Redemption Property and assumed, directly or indirectly, by such Redeeming Member(s) in such redemption. If any Redeeming Members do not honor their Put obligations, the Company may either (1) cancel the Class A Common Units included in the Redemption Notice (including without limitation any right to receive any future distributions, except for the right to receive payment of any unpaid amounts due with respect to such Class A Common Units pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Operating Agreement and Paragraph 3 of this Exhibit A), so that the Redeeming Member(s) will no longer be Members in respect of such Class A Common Units and any such Class A Common Units will no longer be deemed to be outstanding, or (2) pursue any remedies at law or in equity for breach, including the right to seek specific performance.

          (C) The Redeeming Member(s) will have a call option (the “Call”), exercisable no earlier than one hundred eighty (180) days and no later than two hundred (200) days after the Company acquires the In-Kind Redemption Property, to cause the Company to redeem all of their Class A Common Units in exchange for the In-Kind Redemption Property (subject to the provisions of the last two sentences of Paragraph 15(i)(B) of this Exhibit A). If the Company does not honor its Call obligations, the Redeeming Member(s) may pursue any remedies at law or in equity for breach, including the right to seek specific performance.

          (D) During the time that the Company owns the In-Kind Redemption Property, the Company will operate the In-Kind Redemption Property in a commercially reasonable manner consistent with the operation by FCEI of properties it owns in the

same geographic region, and it will bear all operating expenses and risk of loss (subject to the terms below) with respect to the In-Kind Redemption Property, and receive all revenues from operations. In the event of a casualty loss during the Company’s ownership of an In-Kind Redemption Property, the Company will assign to the Redeeming Member(s) its rights to the proceeds from insurance recoverable in connection with such loss at the closing of the redemption. The Company shall not be permitted to exercise the Put if both (i) a material casualty (a casualty resulting in a loss of more than twenty percent (20%) of the value of the In-Kind Redemption Property) has occurred prior to the closing of the redemption and (ii) the Company has not maintained stand-alone casualty insurance on the In-Kind Redemption Property (including, without limitation, customary earthquake, flood and terrorism insurance) with coverage limits comparable to those maintained for properties owned by FCEI (provided such insurance is commercially reasonable and was available at the time of the acquisition of the In-Kind Redemption Property by the Company). The cost for any such casualty insurance for the period during which the In-Kind Redemption Property is owned by the Company shall be borne by the Company.

          (E) The Company may acquire any In-Kind Redemption Property through a newly-formed special purpose limited liability company (and shall so acquire such In-Kind Redemption Property in that manner at the request of the Redeeming Member(s)) and then distribute the interests in such limited liability company to the Redeeming Member(s) at the closing of the redemption in lieu of transferring title to the In-Kind Redemption Property. Any transfer tax due with respect to distribution of such interests in such limited liability company either will be paid by the Redeeming Member(s) or will be included in the calculation of the net fair value of the In-Kind Redemption Property.

          (iii) Tax Reporting. The Company will report the distribution of any In-Kind Redemption Property as a distribution of property to the Redeeming Member(s). In the event that the Managing Member concludes in good faith, after consultation with its tax advisors, that the Company may not report the distribution of the In-Kind Redemption Property as a non-taxable distribution of property, the Managing Member and its tax advisors will consult in good faith with the affected Redeeming Member(s) and their designated tax advisor to determine whether modifications to the Property Redemption Right would permit reporting a distribution of In-Kind Redemption Property as a non-taxable distribution of property; provided, however, that the Managing Member and the Company shall not be required to bear any incremental expense or risk as a result of such modifications unless reimbursed therefor by the Redeeming Member(s).

          (iv) No Further Rights. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, on the applicable date of redemption, (1) the Member(s) redeemed pursuant to this section, (A) shall have no further rights in respect of such Class A Common Units (including without limitation any right to receive any distributions paid after the applicable date of redemption), other than the right to receive the In-Kind Redemption Property and except for the right to receive payment of any unpaid amounts due to such Member(s) pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Operating Agreement and Paragraph 3 of this Exhibit A, and (B) shall no longer be Members in respect of such

redeemed Class A Common Units and (2) any redeemed Class A Common Units shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding.

     (3) Following the fifteenth anniversary of the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by Article III hereof, the Company shall not be required to file a registration statement for the Holders pursuant to this Section 4.1 after the Company has effected four (4) such registrations under the Securities Act following that fifteenth anniversary pursuant to this Section 4.1 and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective, except that, notwithstanding the limitation contained in this paragraph, the Holders may require the Company to file one (1) additional registration statement pursuant to this Section 4.1 within one year of the death of BCR. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining whether the Company has effected four (4) registrations pursuant to this Section 4.1(d)(3), any registrations effected pursuant to Section 4.1(d)(2) or Section 4.4 shall not be counted.

     (4) No registration of Eligible Securities under this Article IV shall relieve the Company of its obligation (if any) to effect registrations of Eligible Securities pursuant to Article V.

     (e) If the Eligible Securities of a Holder are registered for resale pursuant to an effective Shelf Registration Statement filed by the Company in compliance with this Agreement, then, for so long as that Shelf Registration Statement is effective and available for use by that Holder in compliance with applicable securities and other laws and without the need for any further action by the Company, and the Company is otherwise complying with any requirements of this Agreement relating to the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company will be deemed to have satisfied its obligations pursuant to this Article IV with respect to that Holder and the Eligible Securities so registered. For the avoidance of doubt, at any time in its sole discretion the Company may elect to include the Eligible Securities of any Holder, or any portion thereof, in any Shelf Registration Statement being filed by the Company.

  4.2. Other Holder Shares. Upon receipt of the written notice from Holders requesting registration under Section 4.1, the Company shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days, give written notice to each of the other Holders (the “Other Holders”). Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice by any Other Holder, such Other Holder may request in writing that its Eligible Securities be included in such registration and, subject to Section 4.1 hereof, the Company shall include in such registration the Eligible Securities of any such Other Holder requested to be so included. Each such request by such Other Holder shall specify the number of shares of Eligible Securities proposed to be sold and the intended method of distribution thereof.

  4.3. Limitation on Registration Rights. Each registration of Eligible Securities requested by a Holder pursuant to Section 4.1 shall be with respect to a number of shares of Common Stock having an aggregate offering price (determined in the manner required by Form S-3 or any successor form) of not less than $10,000,000 or all of the Eligible Securities subject to this Agreement.

  4.4. Automatic Exercise of Demand Registration Rights. Upon the third anniversary of the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by Article III hereof, and thereafter upon each subsequent third anniversary of the effectiveness of any Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 4.4 until the fifteenth anniversary of the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by Article III hereof, if the Company is eligible to register the Eligible Securities on Form S-3 or any successor form, then the Holders of Eligible Securities will be deemed to have requested that the Company effect the registration under the Securities Act of all of the Eligible Securities pursuant to Section 4.1 of this Agreement on a Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6) or other applicable
rule(s) under the Securities Act. Unless otherwise notified by a Holder or Holders in writing of a change in the method or methods of disposition from that provided for in the currently effective Shelf Registration Statement, the Company will prepare and file the Shelf Registration Statement using the method or methods of disposition provided for in such currently effective Shelf Registration Statement.

ARTICLE V

PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATION

   5.1. Notice and Registration. If the Company proposes to register any shares of Common Stock or other securities issued by it having terms substantially similar to Eligible Securities (“Other Securities”) for public sale under the Securities Act (whether proposed to be offered for sale by the Company or by any other Person) on a form and in a manner which would permit registration of Eligible Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Act, it will give prompt written notice to the Holders of its intention to do so, which notice the Holders shall keep confidential, and upon the written request of a Holder delivered to the Company within fifteen (15) Business Days after the giving of any such notice (which request shall specify the number of Eligible Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder and the intended method of disposition thereof), the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect, in connection with the registration of the Other Securities, the registration under the Securities Act of all Eligible Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Selling

- 8 -

Holders, to the extent required to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended method or methods thereof as aforesaid) of Eligible Securities so to be registered, except that:

     (a) if, at any time after giving such written notice of its intention to register any Other Securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register the Other Securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Holders and thereupon the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to register such Eligible Securities in connection with the registration of such Other Securities (but not from its obligation to pay Registration Expenses to the extent incurred in connection therewith as provided in Section 6.5), without prejudice, however, to the rights (if any) of the Holders immediately to request that such registration be effected as a registration under Article IV;

     (b) the Company will not be required to effect any registration pursuant to this Article V if the Company shall have been advised in writing (with a copy to the Selling Holders) by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm selected by the Company to act as lead underwriter in connection with the public offering of securities by the Company that, in such firm’s opinion, such registration at that time would materially affect the Company’s own scheduled offering, except that, if an offering of some but not all of the shares requested to be registered by the Holders and other holders of the Company’s securities with piggyback rights would not materially affect the Company’s offering, the offering will include all securities offered by the Company and such number of securities with piggyback rights as is determined by such lead underwriter is the maximum number that can be included without materially affecting the Company’s offering, and the aggregate number of shares requested to be included in such offering by the Selling Holders and each other group of securityholders with piggyback rights shall be reduced pro rata based on the relative number of shares being proposed for inclusion by each; if the aggregate number of Eligible Securities to be included in such offering is reduced in accordance with the foregoing, the total number of shares requested to be including in such offering by each Selling Holder shall be reduced pro rata according to the total number of Eligible Securities requested by each Selling Holder to be registered under the Securities Act in connection with the registration of the Other Securities; and

     (c) the Company shall not be required to effect any registration of Eligible Securities under this Article V incidental to the registration of any of its securities (i) on Form S-8 or any successor form to such Form or in connection with any employee or director welfare, benefit or compensation plan, (ii) on Form S-4 or any successor form to such Form or in connection with an exchange offer, (iii) in connection with a rights offering exclusively to existing holders of shares of the Company’s Class A or Class B common stock, (iv) in connection with an offering solely to employees of the Company or its affiliates, or (v) relating to a transaction pursuant to Rule 145 under the Securities Act.

No registration of Eligible Securities effected under this Article V shall relieve the Company of its obligation (if any) to effect registrations of Eligible Securities pursuant to Article IV.

     (b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith and take such other actions as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Eligible Securities registered on such registration statement (1) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Article III, until the end of the Initial Shelf Effectiveness Period, and (2) in the case of a registration statement filed pursuant to Article IV or Article V, until the earlier of (A) such time as all of such Eligible Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Selling Holders set forth in such registration statement or (B) (i) the expiration of twelve months after such registration statement becomes effective, or (ii) with respect to a Shelf Registration Statement, such longer time as all of such Eligible Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Selling Holders set forth in such Shelf Registration Statement up to a maximum of three years from the date the Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC; provided that, such longer period will only be available (A) to the extent that Rule 415, or any successor rule under the Securities Act, permits an offering on a continuous or delayed basis and (B) if applicable rules under the Securities Act governing the obligation to file a post-effective amendment permit, in lieu of filing a post-effective amendment which (y) includes any prospectus required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act or (z) reflects facts or events representing a material or fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement, (i) the incorporation by reference in the Shelf Registration Statement of the information required to be included in (y) and (z) above from periodic reports filed pursuant to Section 12 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or (ii) the use of a prospectus supplement, filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, containing the information required to be included in (y) and (z) above;

- 10 -

     (d) use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify all Eligible Securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Selling Holders or any underwriter of such Eligible Securities shall reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably requested by the Selling Holders or any underwriter to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Eligible Securities covered by such registration statement, except the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it is not so qualified, or to subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not then subject to taxation, or to consent to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not then subject to service of process;

     (e) use commercially reasonable efforts to list the Eligible Securities on each national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, if the listing of such securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange;

     (f) use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that (i) any registration statement and any amendment thereto and any prospectus forming part thereof and any supplement thereto complies in all material respects with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) any registration statement and any amendment thereto does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and (iii) any prospectus forming part of any registration statement, and any supplement to such prospectus (as amended or supplemented from time to time), does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

     (g) immediately notify the Selling Holders at any time when a prospectus relating to a registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and, at the request of the Selling Holders, prepare and furnish to the Selling Holders as many copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as the Selling Holders reasonably request so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Eligible Securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and

     (h) immediately notify the Selling Holders of the issuance by the SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose and take every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any such stop order.

- 11 -

The Company may require the Selling Holders to furnish the Company such information regarding the Selling Holders and the proposed method of distribution of their respective Eligible Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing and as shall be required by law or by the SEC in connection with any registration, and each Selling Holder shall promptly notify the Company of the distribution of such securities. Each Holder agrees that it will respond in writing within ten (10) Business Days to any request by the Company to provide or verify any information regarding that Holder or the Holder’s Eligible Securities that is required to be included in a registration statement relating to the Holder’s Eligible Securities pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

   6.2. Underwriting.

     (a) If requested by the underwriters for any underwritten offering of Eligible Securities pursuant to a registration requested hereunder, the Company will (i) enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement with such underwriters for such offering, such agreement to contain such representations and warranties by the Company and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions, including, without limitation, indemnities and contribution to the effect and to the extent provided in Article VIII hereof; and (ii) (x) furnish to the underwriters an opinion of counsel for the Company, addressed to them, and (y) use its reasonable efforts to furnish to the underwriters, a “comfort letter” signed by the independent registered public accountants who have certified the Company’s financial statements included in such registration statement, addressed to them, each such document described in clause (x) and (y) covering substantially the same matters with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and, in the case of such accountants’ letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountants’ letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities. The holders of Eligible Securities on whose behalf Eligible Securities are to be distributed by such underwriters shall, if requested by such underwriters, be parties to any such underwriting agreement; provided, however, that in the case of an underwritten offering pursuant to Article V hereof, such underwriting agreement shall not provide for indemnification or contribution obligations on the part of such holders materially greater than the obligations of such holders under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Selling Holder may elect, in writing, prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, not to register such Eligible Securities in connection with such registration.

     (b) In the event that any registration pursuant to Article V hereof shall involve, in whole or in part, an underwritten offering, the Company may require Eligible Securities requested to be registered pursuant to Article V to be included in such underwriting on the same terms and conditions as shall be applicable to the Other Securities being sold through underwriters under such registration. In such case, the holders of Eligible Securities on whose behalf Eligible Securities are to be distributed by such underwriters shall be parties to any such underwriting agreement. Such agreement shall contain such representations and warranties by the Selling Holders and such other

- 12 -

terms and provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions; provided, however, such underwriting agreement shall not provide for indemnification or contribution obligations on the part of such Selling Holders materially greater than the obligations of such Selling Holders under this Agreement.

     (c) In the event that any registration pursuant to Article IV hereof shall involve, in whole or in part, an underwritten offering, the Selling Holders shall have the right to select the underwriters for such underwritten offering, which underwriters shall be subject to approval by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

  6.3. Blackout Periods.

          (a) At any time when a registration statement filed pursuant to Articles III, IV or V relating to Eligible Securities is effective, subject to the provisions of this Section 6.3 and a good faith determination by the Chief Executive Officer and the General Counsel of the Company, with the advice of counsel, that it is in the best interests of the Company to suspend the use of a registration statement following the effectiveness of a registration statement, the Company, by written notice to the Holders, may direct the Holders to suspend sales of the Eligible Securities pursuant to a registration statement for such times as the Company reasonably may determine is necessary and advisable (but in no event for more than the earlier of (i) the date upon which any material non-public information that is a basis for such determination is disclosed to the public or ceases to be material or (ii) ninety (90) days after the Company makes such determination) if any of the following events shall occur: (I) the Chief Executive Officer and the General Counsel of the Company, with the advice of counsel, in good faith determine that (A) the continued use of a registration statement is reasonably likely to adversely affect a material financing, acquisition, disposition, merger or other comparable transaction involving the Company or (B) disclosure of material non-public information is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company and, in each of (A) and (B), the continued use of a registration statement would require the disclosure of material non-public information not otherwise required to be disclosed under applicable law; or (II) the Chief Executive Officer and the General Counsel of the Company, with the advice of counsel, shall have determined in good faith that it is required by law, rule or regulation to supplement the registration statement or file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement in order to incorporate information into the registration statement for the purpose of (A) including in the registration statement any prospectus required under Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (B) reflecting in the prospectus included in the registration statement any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or of the most recent post-effective amendment thereto) that, individually or in the aggregate, represents a fundamental change in the information set forth therein; or (C) including in the prospectus included in the registration statement any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information (the circumstances set forth in clauses I and II above are referred to as a “Post-Effective Suspension Event”). Upon the occurrence of any such Post-Effective Suspension Event, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly amend or supplement the registration statement on a post-effective basis or to take such action as is necessary to permit resumed use of the registration statement as promptly as possible.

- 13 -

          (b) In the case of a Post-Effective Suspension Event, the Company shall give written notice (a “Suspension Notice”) to the Selling Holders to suspend sales of the Eligible Securities and such notice shall certify by the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President or any Vice President to the Selling Holders, that such suspension was approved by the Chief Executive Officer and the General Counsel of the Company, with the advice of counsel, shall continue only for so long as the Post-Effective Suspension Event or its effect is continuing, and the Company is taking all reasonable steps to terminate suspension of the use of the registration statement as promptly as possible. The Selling Holders shall not effect any sales of the Eligible Securities pursuant to such registration statement at any time after receiving a Suspension Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice (as defined below). The Selling Holders may recommence effecting sales of the Eligible Securities pursuant to the registration statement following further notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice shall be given by the Company to the Selling Holders in the manner described above promptly following the conclusion of any Post-Effective Suspension Event and its effect.

          (c) If there is a Post-Effective Suspension Event, the time period set forth in Section 6.1(b) shall be extended for a number of days equal to the number of days from the date of the suspension of sales by the Selling Holders until the date when such sales may be resumed hereunder.

  6.4. Qualification for Rule 144 Sales. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 for so long as any Eligible Securities remain outstanding, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to: (1) keep adequate current public information available (as required by Rule 144); (2) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; (3) furnish to each Holder promptly upon request, (A) a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with the applicable reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and (B) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Holders to sell such Eligible Securities pursuant to Rule 144 (without regard to Rule 144(k)) without registration. In connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition by any Holder of any Eligible Securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Company shall cooperate with the Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Eligible Securities to be sold and not bearing any Securities Act legend, and enable certificates for such Eligible Securities to be for such number of shares and registered in such names as the Holder may reasonably request at least five (5) Business Days prior to any sale of Eligible Securities hereunder.

  6.5. Expenses. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the registration pursuant to Articles III, IV or V. Each Holder shall pay any Selling Expenses.

  6.6. Compliance with Company Policies and Procedures. Each Holder who is or becomes an officer, director or affiliate, or otherwise is or becomes subject to the Company’s policies and procedures concerning trading in Company securities, acknowledges and agrees that all sales of Eligible Securities shall be made in compliance with the Company’s policies and procedures concerning trading in Company securities, as in effect from time to time.

- 14 -

ARTICLE VII

PREPARATION; REASONABLE INVESTIGATION

     In connection with the preparation and filing of each registration statement registering Eligible Securities under the Securities Act, the Company will give the Selling Holders and the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel and accountants, drafts of such registration statement for their review and comment prior to filing and such reasonable and customary access to its books and records and such opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers and the independent registered public accountants who have certified its financial statements as shall be reasonably necessary to conduct an investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act, subject in all cases to mutually acceptable confidentiality arrangements.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

   8.1. Indemnification and Contribution.

     (a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Person that exercises registration rights hereunder and, to the extent applicable, its directors and officers, its partners, its trustees and each Person who controls any of such Persons, each Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities, and each Person, if any, who controls such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several, to which such Person may be subject under the Securities Act or otherwise insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such Eligible Securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus included therein, any issuer free-writing prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company will promptly reimburse each such Person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding, provided, that, the Company shall not be liable to any Person in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, issuer free-writing prospectus or final prospectus, or any amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Selling Holders or such underwriter expressly for use in the registration statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of

- 15 -

Holders or any such Person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by the Selling Holders.

     (b) Each Selling Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 8.1(a)) the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who shall sign such registration statement, each Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities, each Person, if any, who controls the Company or any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, with respect to any statement in or omission from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus included therein, any issuer free-writing prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, but only to the extent that such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Selling Holder to the Company expressly for use in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8.1(b), a Holder shall not be required to indemnify the Company, its directors, officers, underwriters or control persons with respect to any amount in excess of the amount of the total proceeds to such Holder from sales of the Eligible Securities under such registration statement, and no Holder shall be liable under this Section 8.1(b) for any statements or omissions of any other Holder. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer or controlling Person and shall survive the transfer of the registered securities by such Selling Holder and the expiration of this Agreement.

     (c) An indemnified party hereunder shall give reasonably prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any action or proceeding commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify the indemnifying party (i) shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability which it may have under the indemnity agreement provided in Sections 8.1(a) or (b) above, unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and the lack of notice by the indemnified party results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses, and (ii) shall not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to the indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided under Sections 8.1(a) or (b) above. If the indemnifying party so elects within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, the indemnifying party may assume the defense of such action or proceeding at such indemnifying party’s own expense with counsel chosen by the indemnifying party and approved by the indemnified party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; except that, the indemnifying party will not settle any such action or proceeding or consent to the entry of a judgment in any such action or proceeding without the written consent of the indemnified party unless (i) as a condition to such settlement, the indemnifying party secures the unconditional release of the indemnified party and (ii) the settlement does not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party; and provided, further, that if the indemnified party reasonably determines that a conflict of interest exists where it is advisable for the indemnified party to be represented by separate counsel or that, upon advice of counsel, there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party,

- 16 -

then the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume such defense and the indemnified party shall be entitled to separate counsel at the indemnifying party’s expense. If the indemnifying party is not entitled to assume the defense of such action or proceeding as a result of the second proviso to the preceding sentence, the indemnifying party’s counsel shall be entitled to conduct the indemnifying party’s defense and counsel for the indemnified party shall be entitled to conduct the defense of the indemnified party, it being understood that both such counsel will cooperate with each other to conduct the defense of such action or proceeding as efficiently as possible. If the indemnifying party is not so entitled to assume the defense of such action or does not assume such defense, after having received the notice referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph, the indemnifying party will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified party. In such event, however, the indemnifying party will not be liable for any settlement effected without the written consent of the indemnifying party. If an indemnifying party is entitled to assume, and assumes, the defense of such action or proceeding in accordance with this paragraph, the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified party incurred thereafter in connection with such action or proceeding.

     (d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Sections 8.1(a) and (b) above is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified party or otherwise unavailable although applicable in accordance with its terms, the Company and the relevant Holder shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnity agreement incurred by the Company and the Holder, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Holder on the other, in connection with the statements, omissions or violations which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative fault of but also the relative benefits to the Company on the one hand and the Holder on the other, in connection with the statements, omissions or violations which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits to the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the total proceeds received by the indemnifying party and indemnified party in connection with the offering to which such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses relate. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or other violation of law, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, the indemnifying party or the indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action.

     The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this

- 17 -

Section 8.1(d), a Holder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount of the total proceeds received by such Holder from sales of the Eligible Securities of such Holder under such registration statement.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8.1(d), each Person, if any, who controls a Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Holder, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed such registration statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.

     (e) Indemnification and contribution similar to that specified in the preceding subsections of this Article VIII (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and the Selling Holders with respect to any required registration or other qualification of such Eligible Securities under any federal or state law or regulation of a governmental authority other than the Securities Act.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

     9.1. Benefits of Registration Rights. Subject to the limitations of Sections 4.1 and 5.1, any Holder may severally or jointly exercise the registration rights hereunder in such manner and in such proportion as they shall agree among themselves.

     9.2. Integration; Amendment. This Agreement, the Master Contribution Agreement and the Master III Operating Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the matters set forth herein and supersede and render of no force and effect all prior oral or written agreements, commitments and understandings among the parties with respect to the matters set forth herein, other than any agreement as may exist solely among the Holders. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no amendment, modification or discharge of this Agreement shall be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and duly executed by the Company and either (i) BCR, or (ii) in the event BCR owns, directly or indirectly, less than 5% of the Eligible Securities subject to this Agreement, the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Eligible Securities subject to this Agreement. Any amendment effected in accordance with clauses (i) or (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be binding upon each Holder of Eligible Securities then outstanding (whether or not such Holder consented to any such amendment). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Schedule A may be amended at any time by the execution and delivery of an addendum to this Agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1, acknowledging that a permitted transfer of BCR Units has occurred under the Master III Operating Agreement, setting forth the name and notice address of such permitted transferee and acknowledging, as contemplated by Section 9.4, that such permitted transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, and the consent of no other Holder will be required for such an amendment.

- 18 -

     9.3. Waivers. No waiver by a party hereto shall be effective unless made in a written instrument duly executed by (a) the Company and either (i) BCR or (ii) in the event BCR owns, directly or indirectly, less than 5% of the Eligible Securities subject to this Agreement, the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Eligible Securities subject to this Agreement or (b) the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced, and only to the extent set forth in such instrument. Neither the waiver by any of the parties hereto of a breach or a default under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor the failure of any of the parties, on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder shall thereafter be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any such provisions, rights or privileges hereunder. Any waiver effected in accordance with Section 9.3(a) shall be binding upon each Holder of Eligible Securities then outstanding (whether or not such Holder consented to any such waiver).

     9.4. Burden and Benefit. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, personal and legal representatives and successors. If a Holder disposes of BCR Units, such BCR Units shall remain subject to this Agreement and, as a condition of the validity of such disposition, the transferee shall be required to execute and deliver an addendum to this Agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1, unless such transferee is already a Holder. Thereafter, such transferee shall be deemed to be a Holder for purposes of this Agreement.

     9.5. Notices. All notices called for under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given upon receipt if delivered personally or by facsimile transmission and followed promptly by mail, or mailed by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested), postage prepaid, to the parties at the addresses set forth opposite their names in Schedule A hereto, or to any other address or addressee as any party entitled to receive notice under this Agreement shall designate, from time to time, to others in the manner provided in this Section 9.5 for the service of notices; except that, notices of a change of address shall be effective only upon receipt thereof. Any notice delivered to the party hereto to whom it is addressed shall be deemed to have been given and received on the day it was received; except that, if such day is not a Business Day then the notice shall be deemed to have been given and received on the Business Day next following such day and if any party rejects delivery of any notice attempted to be given hereunder, delivery shall be deemed given on the date of such rejection. Any notice sent by facsimile transmission shall be deemed to have been given and received on the Business Day next following the transmission.

     9.6. Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that the obligations undertaken by them hereunder are unique and that there would be no adequate remedy at law if any party fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, and accordingly agree that each party, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity, shall be entitled to (i) compel specific performance of the obligations, covenants and agreements of any other party under this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (ii) obtain preliminary injunctive relief to secure specific performance and to prevent a breach or contemplated breach of this Agreement in any court of the United States or any State thereof having jurisdiction.

- 19 -

     9.7. Governing Law. This Agreement, the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, and any claims or disputes relating thereto, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, but not including the choice of law rules thereof.

     9.8. Headings. Section and subsection headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only, shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement for any purpose, and shall not in any way define or affect the meaning, construction or scope of any of the provisions hereof.

     9.9. Pronouns. All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the person or entity may require.

     9.10. Execution in Counterparts. To facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as may be required. It shall not be necessary that the signature of or on behalf of each party appears on each counterpart, but it shall be sufficient that the signature of or on behalf of each party appears on one or more of the counterparts. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single agreement. It shall not be necessary in any proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than a number of counterparts containing the respective signatures of or on behalf of all of the parties.

     9.11. Severability. If fulfillment of any provision of this Agreement, at the time such fulfillment shall be due, shall transcend the limit of validity prescribed by law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity; and if any clause or provision contained in this Agreement operates or would operate to invalidate this Agreement, in whole or in part, then such clause or provision only shall be held ineffective, as though not herein contained, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect.

     THIS TAX PROTECTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of the ___ day of ___, 2006, by and between, FOREST CITY MASTER ASSOCIATES III, LLC, a New York limited liability company (the “Company”), Forest City Enterprises, Inc. (“FCEI”), certain entities associated with FCEI (“FCEI Entities”), Forest City Rental Properties Corporation (“Rental Properties”) and XXXXX X. XXXXXX, an individual residing at c/o Forest City Xxxxxx Companies, 0 XxxxxXxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 (“BCR”).

W I T N E S S E T H :

     WHEREAS, FCEI, the FCEI Entities and certain entities affiliated with BCR are parties to a Master Contribution and Sale Agreement of even date herewith (the “Master Contribution Agreement”).

     WHEREAS, as a condition to entering into the Master Contribution Agreement and proceeding with the transactions contemplated by the Master Contribution Agreement, FCEI, the FCEI Entities, Rental Properties and BCR have agreed to enter into this Agreement with the Company.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

     Section 1. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, each capitalized term that is used herein and is not otherwise defined will have the meaning given to it in the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) of the Company by and among certain entities affiliated with FCEI, BCR and certain entities and individuals affiliated with BCR of even date herewith. In addition, each of the following terms will have the meaning set forth below:

     (a) “Affected Interests” is defined in Section 6(c).

     (b) “BCR” is defined in the preamble.

     (c) “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

     (d) “Company Representative” means the person designated in writing by the Managing Member to represent the Company.

     (e) “Contributed Assets” means (i) the BCR Contributed Interests (as defined in the Master Contribution Agreement) contributed to the Company pursuant to the Master Contribution Agreement and the related Properties, (ii) any assets (such as the Properties) directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, owned by an entity that is a Contributed Asset, and (iii) any assets received as “substituted basis property” (as such term is used in Section 7701(a)(42) of the Code) with respect to a Contributed Asset.

     (f) “Cumulative Liability Adjustment” shall be determined as follows. If Class A Initial Common Units are exchanged or redeemed for the Exchange Consideration or are sold in a taxable transaction, or if there is a Disposition of a Contributed Asset, the number of such Units so exchanged, redeemed or sold, or the number of Units issued for the Contributed Asset in the case of a Disposition of a Contributed Asset, will be multiplied by the dollar amount specified on Schedule 1(m) for such Units. The Cumulative Liability Adjustment is the sum of this product for each exchange, redemption, sale or Disposition.

     (g) “Disposition” means any sale, transfer or other act or transaction by the Company (including a deemed distribution under Section 752 of the Code resulting in recognition of gain under Section 731 of the Code), or by any entity in which the Company holds a direct or indirect interest, involving a Contributed Asset (other than a transaction by a Protected Party).

     (h) “Disposition Gain” means, for each Contributed Asset, any income or gain that is recognized by a Property Owner or the Company for federal income tax purposes as a result of a Disposition of the Contributed Asset and is allocated to a Protected Party provided that the amount of such gain can never exceed the amount of the Section 704(c) Gain attributable to the Contributed Asset as of the date of contribution to the Company.

     (i) “FCEI” is defined in the recitals.

     (j) “Guaranty Opportunity” is defined in Section 4(a).

     (k) “Indemnifiable Disposition” means any Disposition during the Protection Period that results in a Protected Party being allocated Disposition Gain other than Disposition Gain arising from (i) a Disposition of any of the Development Properties, (ii) a Disposition of Columbia Park and Quartermaster Plaza (Phase IV only) if the Disposition of such properties occurs prior to 18 months after the Principal Closing Date, (iii) a Disposition of Woodbridge Crossing if the Disposition occurs prior to January 31, 2007, (iv) a Disposition of 80 Dekalb, and (v) a transaction that results from a casualty to or condemnation of a Contributed Asset in which (x) the lender with respect to indebtedness secured by that Contributed Asset does not allow the proceeds from the casualty or condemnation to be used for repair of or improvements to the Contributed Asset or acquisition of a replacement asset and (y) the Company uses commercially reasonable efforts to qualify for nonrecognition of gain for federal income tax purposes with respect to the casualty or condemnation.

     (l) “Master Contribution Agreement” is defined in the first whereas clause.

     (m) “Protected Party” means Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, their spouses, lineal descendants, and any trust for their benefit, that directly or indirectly beneficially own any Class A Initial Common Units. Schedule 1(m) sets forth the number of Class A Initial Common Units to be beneficially owned by them, as of the Principal Closing Date. Schedule 1(m) is subject to revision from time to time to reflect the issuance or transfer of Units to BCR or to an Affiliate or member or the Immediate Family of BCR following the Principal Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Protected Party shall not include any transferee of an interest in the Company that is described in Section 8.1(a)(iv), (v), and (vi) of the Operating Agreement.

     (n) “Protected Party Representative” means the Class A Member Representative.

     (o) “Protection Period” is defined in Section 3.

     (p) “Section 704(c) Gain” means the amount of gain allocated to a Protected Party under Section 704(c) of the Code from a Disposition of a Contributed Asset, or that would be allocated to such party under Section 704(c) of the Code from a Disposition of a Contributed Asset if Section 704(c) of the Code applied to the difference between the fair market value of the Contributed Asset and its adjusted tax basis on the Principal Closing date or, if later, the date the Contributed Asset is contributed to the Company.

     (q) “Substantial Authority” has the meaning provided in Section 6662 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

     (r) “Transfer,” “Transferred Interest,” and “Transferring Party,” are defined in Section 6(d).

     (s) “Treasury Regulation” means a final or temporary regulation promulgated under the Code by the U.S. Department of Treasury.

     Section 2. Section 704(c) Method. With respect to the Contributed Assets, the Company will use, and will cause any entity (classified as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes) in which the Company holds a direct or indirect interest to use, the “traditional method with curative allocations” with the curative allocation limited to the gain on a Disposition of a Contributed Asset to the extent permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(c). The Company will cause any entity that is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes to which any of the Contributed Assets are transferred in a transaction that is wholly or partially nontaxable (i) to use such “traditional method with curative allocations” with the curative allocation limited to the gain on a Disposition of a Contributed Asset to the extent permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(c), and (ii) to agree, for the benefit of the Protected Parties, to be bound by the provisions of this Section 2 as though such entity were the Company. The parties agree that (i) Section 704(c) of the Code and the principles thereunder will apply to any Disposition of Contributed Assets, (ii) Section 704(c) of the Code and the principles thereunder will not apply to allocations from the Company of items of depreciation from property that has an adjusted tax basis equal to its basis under Section 704(b) of the Code, and (iii) the BCR Interests will not be treated as property subject to the allowance for depreciation or amortization under either Section 704(b) or (c) of the Code. To the extent (x) any of the above methods is determined by a court to be a method that is not permitted under Section 704(c) of the Code or the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, or (y) there is a settlement of an examination of the Company’s federal income tax return to the effect that any of the above methods are not permitted under Section 704(c) of the Code or the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, the Managing Member shall adopt a substitute method that varies from the original method to the least extent permitted under the Code and Treasury Regulations which is as neutral to FCEI as possible, and the method so determined shall be used and shall be deemed to be a method specified in this Section 2. If the Managing Member in consultation with its tax advisor does not believe that the method selected by the Protected Party is supported by Substantial Authority, the Protected Party Representative will select an alternative method, subject again to the Managing Members’ consent.

3

     Section 3. Protection Period. The “Protection Period” with respect to each Protected Party is the period of time beginning on the Principal Closing Date and ending on the earliest of (i) the twelfth anniversary of the Principal Closing Date, (ii) the date on which the last of the Class A Initial Common Units directly or indirectly beneficially owned by such Protected Party is exchanged or redeemed for the Exchange Consideration, (iii) the death of the Protected Party, as and to the extent provided in Section 6(c), and (iv) with respect to any transfer of a direct or indirect interest in the Company a taxable transfer to the extent provided in Section 6(d).

     Section 4. Debt Protection

     (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 4, during the Protection Period, the Company may sell, assign, transfer, refinance (with recourse or nonrecourse indebtedness) mortgage, pledge or otherwise deal with any of the Contributed Assets provided, however, that the Company and/or FCEI will (i) maintain, and cause each of the entities classified as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes in which the Company holds a direct or indirect interest to maintain, an amount of indebtedness, in the aggregate, at least equal to $500 million reduced by the Cumulative Liability Adjustment, (ii) if the Company chooses to refinance (or cause or permit to be refinanced) existing indebtedness, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such refinancing indebtedness to be “qualified nonrecourse financing” within the meaning of Section 465(b)(6)(B) of the Code; (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to replace such indebtedness with other indebtedness, rather than retire existing indebtedness with equity or FCEI loans, unless in its reasonable business judgment it is in the best interests of FCEI to do so; and (iv) provide each of the Protected Parties that holds a direct or indirect interest in the Company with an opportunity to undertake obligations in a form reasonably acceptable to, and in no way detrimental to, the Company, the intent of which is to allocate indebtedness to such parties for purposes of Section 752 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (a “Guaranty Opportunity”). If any Protected Party intends to undertake a Guaranty Opportunity, it shall provide a written notification to the Company Representative of such intention. In addition to the foregoing, if in its reasonable business judgment, FCEI or the Company determines that it is in the best interests of FCEI or the Company to retire (or cause to be retired) existing debt with equity contributions, then FCEI will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Protected Party Representative in structuring the debt retirement to minimize adverse income tax consequences to a Protected Party through (A) a merger of certain BCR Entities, (B) allowing Protected Parties or affiliates thereof to participate in the equity contribution (e.g., by BCR making a loan to the Company), or (C) any other reasonable request by the Protected Party Representative which would involve no cost to FCEI.

     (b) At least thirty (30) days (or such shorter period if commercially reasonable) prior to the occurrence of any of the following events, the Company Representative shall provide written notice to the Protected Party Representative of any:

     (i) Reductions in the outstanding principal balance of any indebtedness of the Property Owners that differ materially from amortization schedules related to such indebtedness;

     (ii) Refinancings of any indebtedness of the Property Owners; and

4

     (iii) Sales or exchanges of any property that serves as security for any indebtedness of the Property Owners.

     (c) The Company has agreed to provide the Protected Party Representative with a list of information (set forth on the Section 4(c) Information List attached hereto) that the Company will provide when reasonably requested to do so by the Protected Party Representative, and at or prior to the Principal Closing Date, the Company will provide a schedule of the indebtedness that the Company expects to report for federal income tax return purposes as being the amount of total indebtedness allocable to the Company as of the Principal Closing Date and the reductions attributable to expected amortization of such indebtedness. In no event is the Company responsible for providing the fair market value of any property, although the Protected Party Representative may request third party appraisals (if any) the Company has already obtained when such information is related to a Guaranty Opportunity a Protected Party may undertake. If the Protected Party Representative proposes a guarantee of indebtedness for which FCEI or any of its affiliates bears the “risk of loss” (as such term is used for purposes of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 752 of the Code), the Company will promptly advise the Protected Party Representative. Once a guaranty has been executed by the Protected Party, the Company will undertake commercially reasonable efforts so that neither FCEI nor any of its affiliates bears the “risk of loss” (as such term is used for purposes of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 752 of the Code) with respect to the portion of the indebtedness that is guaranteed by the Protected Party or, in the case of indemnification or other contractual arrangement, that is subject to indemnification or other contractual arrangement. For purposes of the preceding two sentences, the Company will be entitled to assume that the Protected Party or entity providing the guaranty or indemnity or entering into the contractual arrangements and the affiliates of such Protected Party or entity have not entered into any arrangement that would reduce or eliminate the “risk of loss” (as determined under Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-2) that such entity would have absent such arrangement.

     (d) Except as provided in the third and fourth sentences of the preceding Section 4(c), the Protected Party will bear the risk that a guaranty, indemnification or other action taken pursuant to a Guaranty Opportunity is not effective to cause an allocation for federal income tax purposes of indebtedness of the Property Owners to such Protected Party in the desired amount. Neither FCEI nor any of its affiliates will be required to take a position on any federal, state, or local tax return that is not supportable, as determined by FCEI in its reasonable discretion, by at least Substantial Authority; provided, however, that FCEI shall take the position in question if the Protected Party provides FCEI with a well-reasoned opinion of counsel or an accounting firm that the position is supportable by Substantial Authority. Notwithstanding the preceding proviso, if FCEI or an accounting firm or counsel advising FCEI disagrees with the opinion referred to in the preceding sentence, the parties shall mutually agree on the selection of an independent law firm or accounting firm, which shall be requested to resolve as expeditiously as reasonably possible the question of whether the position in question is supportable by Substantial Authority. With respect to the Guaranty Opportunity, the Protected Party will bear any costs or expenses associated with the contest or litigation of any position taken with regard to any allocation of partnership liabilities under Code Section 752 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, including any costs associated with counsel or an accounting firm providing FCEI the well-reasoned opinion described above.

5

     Section 5. Preservation of Tax Status. During the Protection Period, the Company will not take any action that would cause the Company to be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes.

     Section 6. Indemnification

     (a) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 6, the Company will indemnify each of the Protected Parties as follows:

     (i) If the Company or an entity in which the Company owns a direct or indirect interest fails to use the allocation method specified in Section 2, the Company will pay to the Protected Party an amount equal to the aggregate federal, state and local income taxes paid, or to be paid, by the Protected Party as a result of, or in connection with, the failure to use such allocation method (taking into consideration all taxes imposed in respect of items allocated to the Protected Party as a result of allocations not permitted by Section 2) plus an amount equal to the aggregate federal, state and local income taxes payable by the Protected Party as a result of the receipt of the payments required by this Section 6(a)(i) (including for this purpose all taxes on payments hereunder intended to compensate or indemnify the recipient for tax liability).

     (ii) If an Indemnifiable Disposition occurs during the Protection Period, the Company will pay to the Protected Party an amount equal to the aggregate federal, state and local income taxes paid, or to be paid, by the Protected Party as a result of, or in connection with, such transaction or event plus an amount equal to the aggregate federal, state and local income taxes payable by the Protected Party as a result of the receipt of the payments required by this Section 6(a)(ii) (including for this purpose all taxes on payments hereunder intended to compensate or indemnify the recipient for tax liability).

     (iii) If the Company or other entity fails to comply with Section 4 or 5, the Company will pay to each of the Protected Parties an amount equal to the aggregate federal, state and local taxes paid, or to be paid, by such Protected Party as a result of such non-compliance plus an amount equal to the aggregate federal, state and local income taxes payable by the Protected Party as a result of the receipt of the payments required by this Section 6(a)(iii) (including for this purpose all taxes on payments hereunder intended to compensate or indemnify the recipient for tax liability).

     (iv) For purposes of determining taxes paid, payable or to be paid for purposes of this section 6(a), (v) all income arising from the transaction or event shall be treated as subject to federal, state and local income tax payable by individuals residing in New York City, determined using the maximum federal, New York State and New York City rates on ordinary income and capital gain (taking into account recapture), as applicable, then in effect, (or in the case of individuals residing outside of New York City, using the appropriate state and local rates, taking into account taxes imposed by New York City and New York State (or other jurisdictions where the property in question is located) on income derived from such jurisdiction, to the extent appropriate), (w) indemnity payments will be assumed to be taxable as guaranteed payments treated as ordinary income, (x) the deduction for such guaranteed payments will be allocated 100% to the FCEI Entities who contributed (or who are related to the party who funded) the capital or

6

otherwise funded the amounts to make such payments (to the extent of such contribution), (y) any amounts payable pursuant to the indemnity provided for in this Section will be determined assuming that the transaction or event giving rise to the indemnification obligation was the only transaction or event reported on the Protected Party’s tax return (and, for clarity, without giving effect to any loss carry forwards or other deductions available to the Protected Party) and (z) any amounts payable with respect to state and local income taxes shall be assumed to be deductible for federal income tax purposes.

     (v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount that the Company is required to pay under this Section 6 will be reduced by the amount of any prior distributions made to the Protected Party under Sections 5.2(b)(vi) and (vii) of the Operating Agreement (but only to the extent not previously taken into account under this clause (v)).

     (vi) For purposes of this Section 6, no amount of taxes paid, payable, or to be paid by a Protected Party from an event, sale, refinancing, transaction, or otherwise shall be taken into account more than once.

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be required to indemnify during the Protection Period any Protected Party pursuant to Section 6 as a result of any Indemnifiable Disposition if, based on the terms of the organizational documents for the relevant Property Owner in force on the date of this Agreement or, if giving more control to the Company, the organizational documents in force at the time of the Indemnifiable Disposition, the action is one that cannot reasonably be prevented directly or indirectly by the Company or an Affiliate (or by any successor to the Company’s interest in the Property Owner); provided that, the Company (and any such successor) uses commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the occurrence of such transaction or event through the exercise of its rights under the organizational documents for such Property Owner. For this purpose, the failure by the Company to exercise any buy-sell right, right of first refusal or right of first offer will not be treated as a failure to use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the occurrence of the relevant transaction or event.

     (c) If a Protected Party dies, then any subsequent owner (including his or her estate and any grantor trust the assets of which are deemed to be included in his estate) of the direct or indirect interests in the Company owned (or treated as owned for federal income tax purposes) by the deceased Protected Party (the “Affected Interests”) and by each BCR Entity through which the deceased Protected Party owned (or was treated as owning for federal income tax purposes) an indirect interest in the Company at death will not, with respect to the Affected Interests, be eligible to receive an indemnity payment under Section 6(a) or to recover damages for a breach of Section 2, 4 or 5 to the extent the subsequent owner’s basis in the Affected Interests is increased to fair market value under Section 1014(a) of the Code (or successor provision of the Code or Internal Revenue law) and the Company has an election under Section 754 in effect for its federal income tax year of the death. To the extent such subsequent owner’s basis in the Affected Interests is increased to fair market value under Section 1014(a) of the Code (or successor provision of the Code or Internal Revenue law) and the Company does not have an election under Section 754 of the Code in effect for its federal income tax year of the death, then the subsequent owner, with respect to the Affected Interests, will be eligible to receive an indemnity payment under Section 6(a) or to recover damages for a breach of Section 2, 4, or 5 with respect to events occurring no later than six months after the date of such death.

7

For purposes of this Section 6, the Company shall be treated as having an election under Section 754 of the Code in effect only to the extent a valid election under such Code section is in effect for any federal tax partnership in which the Company owns a direct or indirect equity interest (subject to the conditions of Section 6(j)) so that there is an adjustment to federal income tax basis at the ultimate property level.

     (d) To the extent that a Protected Party (the “Transferring Party”) transfers (the “Transfer”) a direct or indirect interest in the Company (the “Transferred Interest”) in a transaction that is fully taxable for federal income tax purposes, then any subsequent owner of the Transferred Interests and each BCR Entity through which the Transferring Party owned (or was treated as owning for federal income tax purposes) the Transferred Interest will not, with respect to the Transferred Interests, be eligible with respect to events occurring subsequent to the Transfer to receive an indemnity payment under Section 6(a) or to recover damages for a breach of Section 2, 4 or 5.

     (e) As soon as practicable (but in no event more than sixty (60) days after the end of the Company’s federal income tax year), the Company will provide the Protected Party Representative with a written computation of the amount of Disposition Gain or other income for which an indemnity is due. As soon as practicable after receipt of such written computation, the Protected Party will prepare and deliver to the Company Representative a written statement of the computation of the amount of any indemnity payment to which the Protected Party is entitled under Section 6(a), together with all information necessary for the Company to confirm the accuracy of the computation (the statement and information are collectively referred to as the “Computation Statement”). The Company will have thirty (30) days from the date of the receipt of the Computation Statement to review it (“Review Period”).

     (i) If, after its review of the Computation Statement, the Company believes that the amount of the indemnification to which the Protected Party is entitled under Section 6(a) is less than the amount shown on the Computation Statement, then the Company may deliver to the Protected Party Representative prior to the expiration of the Review Period a notice of disagreement setting forth the Company’s computation of the amount of the indemnification to which the Protected Party is entitled. If the Company does not deliver a written notice of disagreement within the Review Period, the Protected Party’s determination of the amount of the indemnification payable under Section 6(a) as shown on the Computation Statement will be final and binding on the parties.

     (ii) If the Company delivers a written notice of disagreement with the Computation Statement within the Review Period, the Protected Party and the Company will attempt in good faith to resolve such disagreement within sixty (60) days from the date on which the Company delivers the notice of disagreement. If the Company and the Protected Party cannot reach agreement within the sixty (60) day period (or such longer period as they may agree), either party may refer the dispute to an independent accounting firm of national reputation that is acceptable to the Company and the Protected Party (the “Independent Accounting Firm”) for binding resolution. The Independent Accounting Firm may conduct such proceedings as it, in its discretion, deems advisable to assist it in resolving the dispute. Any computation by the Independent Accounting Firm must be made on a basis consistent with the provisions of this Agreement. The Independent Accounting Firm will render its decision in writing

8

within sixty (60) days following its selection. The decision by the Independent Accounting Firm will be conclusive and binding on the parties. The Protected Party and the Company will each pay one-half of the fees and reimbursable expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm. Each of the parties will bear its own legal, accounting and other fees and expense of participating in such dispute resolution procedure. Unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Protected Party, non-computational issues, such as legal questions regarding the interpretation of provisions of this agreement, will not be submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm for resolution but will be resolved in accordance with Section 13 of this Agreement.

     (f) The FCEI Entities will contribute to the Company funds sufficient to pay the required indemnity, and the Company will pay the Protected Party the amount of indemnification to which it is entitled at least five (5) business days prior to the date on which the Protected Party is required to pay the taxes (including estimated taxes) for which the indemnification is being paid; provided, however, that the Company is not required to make such payment before the expiration of the Review Period. If there is a dispute with respect to the amount of the indemnity, the Company shall pay the indemnity to the extent not in dispute in accordance with the preceding rules and shall pay the remaining amount due (if any) within five (5) business days after resolution of the dispute. In the event the FCEI Entities fail to pay the required indemnity amount, Rental Properties, by its execution hereof, agrees to guaranty the performance of the FCEI Entities as described in this Section 6(f).

     (g) The indemnification provided in Section 6(a) will be the Protected Parties’ exclusive remedy with respect to an Indemnifiable Disposition or for a breach by the Company of its obligations under Section 2, 4 or 5.

     (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and to avoid uncertainty as to the applicability of any indemnification obligation hereunder, the indemnification obligations provided in this Agreement shall not apply to any of the following:

     (i) The contributions by affiliates of BCR and by BCR of the BCR Contributed Interests to the Company as described in the Master Contribution Agreement;

     (ii) Allocations of Net Income to the Class A Distribution Preference; and

     (iii) Transfers of interests by any Protected Party; and

     (iv) Exercise of Exchange Rights as provided for in the Operating Agreement and any exhibits or addendums thereto; and

     (v) Redemption at Option of Holders of Class A Common Units for In-Kind Distribution; and

     (vi) Allocations of Net Income pursuant to Article 5.1(a)(vi) of the Operating Agreement.

     (i) To the extent any of the methods under Section 704(c) of the Code described in Section 2 above are disallowed by the Internal Revenue Service and as a result of a disposition of a Contributed Asset after the Protection Period expires the FCEI Entities are allocated income or

9

gain under Section 704(c) of the Code in excess of the amount that would have been allocated to the FCEI Entities had the methods described in Section 2 above been permitted, then BCR agrees to file claims for refund for any overpayment of federal, state and city income tax attributable to the disallowance by the Internal Revenue Service of the Section 704(c) method used for each of the BCR tax years affected. Upon receipt of such refunds, BCR will contribute to the Company an amount equal to such refunds or the amount that would have been refunded to BCR unreduced by any offsets for other items, and the Company will distribute such amount to the FCEI Entities. The distribution to the FCEI Entities will be treated as a guaranteed payment to the FCEI Entities, and the deduction corresponding to such guaranteed payment will be allocated exclusively to BCR, so that there will be no net credit to the Capital Account of BCR in connection with such contribution.

     (j) With respect to any federal income tax year of the Company (other than the Company’s federal income tax year including the Principal Closing Date), the Company will, at the request of the Protected Party Representative, make or cause to be made an election under Section 754 of the Code for the Company and any federal tax partnership in which the Company holds a direct or indirect interest, if (i) such election does not adversely affect the Company and (ii) the Company has the ability to make such election or cause such election to be made.

     Section 7. Participation in Contest. In connection with any dispute potentially affecting the tax liability of a Protected Party, including a dispute relating to the Section 704(c) method described in Section 2 hereof or the allocation of indebtedness under Section 752, at the election of and expense of the Protected Party Representative, counsel or accountant elected by the Protected Party Representative shall have the right to be present at and participate in any litigation with or administrative hearing before the Internal Revenue Service, and the Company will not settle any such dispute without first consulting with the Protected Party Representative and giving full, fair and deliberate consideration to its recommendations and suggestions. As the Company makes its decision with respect to any litigation or administrative hearing with the IRS, the Company will consider the intentions of the parties as reflected in this agreement and the relative economic impact of the proposed settlement on FCEI and the Protected Parties such that the method selected is as neutral to FCEI as possible.

     Section 8. Third Party Beneficiaries. Each of the Protected Parties is an intended third-party beneficiary of, and may enforce, the provisions of this Agreement.

     Section 9. Notices. All notices, demands, consents, requests or other communications provided for or permitted to be given hereunder by a party to this Agreement will be given in the manner provided in the Master Contribution Agreement.

     Section 10. Assignment. None of the parties to this Agreement will have the right to assign, transfer, convey or otherwise sell (or enter into any agreement to do the same), directly or indirectly, any interest or benefit it may have in or under this Agreement without first having obtained the written consent of the other party (the Protected Party Representative, in the case of any Protected Party), which consent may be withheld in such party’s sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that consent shall not be required in the case of an assignment permitted under the Operating Agreement.

10

     Section 11. Waiver. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom the enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought or, in the case of a default, by the non-defaulting party or parties.

     Section 12. GOVERNING LAW. AS PERMITTED BY SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT WILL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     Section 13. Jurisdiction. Each of the parties submits to the jurisdiction of any New York State Court or Federal Court of the United States of America sitting in the borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any such court, in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement (other than computational issues submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm under Section 6(e)), or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment. All claims in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding may be brought, heard and determined in such New York State Court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal Court. Final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each of the parties waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any New York State Court or Federal Court sitting in the borough of Manhattan. Each of the parties waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such suit, action or proceeding in any such court. Nothing contained in this Section 13 will be construed as preventing either of the parties from (i) objecting to the jurisdiction of any New York State Court on the ground that the matter involved exceeds the statutory jurisdiction of such court or (ii) from seeking to remove any suit, action or proceeding from a New York State Court to a Federal Court sitting in the borough of Manhattan, or vice versa.

     Section 14. Captions. The captions and section headings included in this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and will not be considered or referred to in interpreting the provisions of this Agreement.

     Section 15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original, but all of which will constitute one and the same instrument. The submission of a signature page transmitted by facsimile, pdf file or similar electronic transmission facility will be considered as an “original” signature page for purposes of this Agreement.

     Section 16. Severability. If any provision hereof is held invalid or not enforceable to its fullest extent, such provision will be enforced to the extent permitted by law, and the validity of the remaining provisions hereof will not be affected thereby.

     Section 17. Prior Negotiations; Construction. No negotiations concerning or modifications made to prior drafts of this Agreement will be construed in any manner to limit, reduce or impair the rights, remedies, duties and obligations of the parties under this Agreement

11

or to restrict or expand the meaning of any of the provisions of this Agreement or to construe any of the provisions of this Agreement in any party’s favor. The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party will not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendment, schedule or exhibit hereto.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

Thereafter, subject to Section 2(b) and Section 2(c) below, (i) the Board of Directors will (A) nominate and recommend BCR to the shareholders of FCEI for election to the Board of Directors at the first meeting of the shareholders of FCEI following the date of BCR’s appointment to the Board of Directors and for re-election to the Board of Directors at each subsequent meeting of the shareholders of FCEI held to consider a vote on BCR’s seat on the Board of Directors and (B) not take any action intended to interfere with the election or re-election of BCR to the Board of Directors, and (ii) the Forest City Principals agree to vote their respective Forest City Principal Shares in favor of BCR for election to the Board of Directors at the first meeting of the shareholders of FCEI following the date of BCR’s appointment to the Board of Directors and for re-election to the Board of Directors at each subsequent meeting of the shareholders of FCEI held to consider a vote on BCR’s seat on the Board of Directors.

          (b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 2, in the event (i) of BCR’s death or a physical or mental incapacity that prevents BCR from performing all duties required of a director of FCEI, or (ii) that (A) in the case that BCR is an employee of the New York Strategic Business Unit, the aggregate number of all BCR Units and FCEI Stock issued upon conversion of any BCR Units owned directly and/or beneficially by BCR, any Affiliate of BCR or any member of the Immediate Family of BCR, taken together as a group, is at any time less than 1,500,000 or (B) in the case that BCR is no longer an employee of the New York Strategic Business Unit, the aggregate number of all BCR Units and FCEI Stock issued upon conversion of any BCR Units owned directly and/or beneficially by BCR, any Affiliate of BCR or any member of the Immediate Family of BCR, taken together as a group, is at any time less than 2,500,000, or (iii) that BCR materially breaches either the non-competition covenant contained in BCR’s then current employment agreement with FCEI or any written policy generally applicable to all members of the Board of Directors and BCR does not cure such breach within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of such breach from FCEI, all obligations of FCEI, the Board of Directors and the Forest City Principals pursuant to this Agreement will automatically terminate and, in the case of clause (iii) of this sentence, BCR will immediately tender his resignation as a director of FCEI to the Board of Directors; provided, however, in the event BCR, in good faith, disputes FCEI’s claim that BCR is in material breach, as described in clause (iii) of this sentence, BCR shall not be obligated to tender his resignation and this Agreement shall not automatically terminate until there has been a determination by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors that BCR was in material breach.

No transfer of beneficial ownership of any Forest City Principal Shares from any Forest City Principal to any member of the Xxxxxx Family will be effective unless the transferee executes a counterpart of this Agreement and agrees to be bound by each of the terms of this Agreement.

3

it in accordance with its terms, subject to (A) bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and (B) general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity.

          (a) Title. As of the date hereof, each of the Forest City Principals owns beneficially and of record its respective Forest City Principal Shares. Each of the Forest City Principals has the sole right, or the shared right with other Forest City Principals, to vote their respective Forest City Principal Shares, and there are no restrictions on rights of disposition or other liens, claims, options, charges or other encumbrances pertaining to the Forest City Principal Shares that would restrict or prevent any of the Forest City Principals from performing their respective obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

          (b) Authority. Each of the Forest City Principals has full legal power, authority and right to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, this Agreement. This Agreement (i) has been duly executed by such Forest City Principal and (ii) constitutes a valid and binding agreement of such Forest City Principal enforceable against such Forest City Principal in accordance with its terms, subject to (A) bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and (B) general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity.

to any of their respective Forest City Principal Shares, (x) grant any Person (other than a representative appointed or designated by FCEI in connection with a particular shareholder meeting) any proxy (revocable or irrevocable) or power of attorney with respect to any of their respective Forest City Principal Shares, (y) deposit any of their respective Forest City Principal Shares in a voting trust or (z) otherwise enter into any agreement or arrangement restricting or affecting such Forest City Principal’s legal power, authority or right to vote as required by this Agreement without, in each case, (A) causing such Person to agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement that impose limitations and/or voting obligations on the Forest City Principals or (B) the prior written consent of BCR.

     Section 6. Severalty of Obligations. The obligations under this Agreement of each Forest City Principal are the separate and several obligations of such Forest City Principal, and are not joint obligations with respect to any other Person.

     Section 7. Specific Enforcement. The parties agree that, in the event that any of the terms or the provisions of this Agreement are not performed or complied with in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached, immediate irreparable injury would be caused for which there is no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, it is agreed that in the event of a failure by a party to perform its obligations hereunder, the other parties will be entitled to specific performance through injunctive relief to prevent breaches of the terms of this Agreement and specifically to enforce the terms of this Agreement in any action instituted in accordance with Section 9(e) below, in addition to any other remedy to which such other parties may be entitled, at law or in equity.

     Section 8. Termination. This Agreement will automatically terminate following a merger, consolidation or other transaction involving FCEI if, immediately after the consummation of such merger, consolidation or other transaction, the persons who held the voting equity securities of FCEI immediately prior to the consummation of such merger, consolidation or other transaction no longer hold a majority of the voting equity securities of the surviving or resulting entity.

5

          (c) Waiver. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom the enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought or, in the case of a default, by the non-defaulting party or parties.

          (e) Jurisdiction. Each of the parties submits to the jurisdiction of any Ohio State Court or Federal Court of the United States of America sitting in the City of Cleveland, Ohio, and any appellate court from any such court, in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment. All claims in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding may be brought, heard and determined in such Ohio State Court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal Court. Final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

Each of the parties waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such suit, action or proceeding in any such court. Nothing contained in this Section 9(e) will be construed as preventing either of the parties from (i) objecting to the jurisdiction of any Ohio State Court on the ground that the matter involved exceeds the statutory jurisdiction of such court or (ii) from seeking to remove any suit, action or proceeding from an Ohio State Court to a Federal Court sitting in the City of Cleveland, Ohio, or vice versa.

          (f) Captions. The captions and section headings included in this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and will not be considered or referred to in interpreting the provisions of this Agreement.

The submission of a signature page transmitted by facsimile, by e-mail (as a pdf file or otherwise) or similar electronic transmission facility will be considered as an “original” signature page for purposes of this Agreement.

          (h) Severability. If any provision hereof is held invalid or not enforceable to its fullest extent, such provision will be enforced to the extent permitted by law, and the validity of the remaining provisions hereof will not be affected thereby.

          (i) Prior Negotiations; Construction. No negotiations concerning or modifications made to prior drafts of this Agreement will be construed in any manner to limit, reduce or impair the rights, remedies, duties and obligations of the parties under this Agreement or to restrict or expand the meaning of any of the provisions of this Agreement or to construe any of the provisions of this Agreement in any party’s favor. The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of

6

construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party will not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendment, schedule or exhibit hereto.

          (j) Changes in Capitalization. Without duplication of any other provision of this Agreement and subject to Section 8 hereof, if any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, reorganization, liquidation or other similar change or transaction of or by FCEI occurs as a result of which shares of any class of any corporation are issued in respect of outstanding securities of FCEI, all references to FCEI’s securities hereunder will be deemed to be references to the securities received by holders of FCEI’s securities in exchange for or in respect of their FCEI securities pursuant to such transaction.

          (k) No Beneficial Interest in Stock. The parties hereto have acted independently with respect to the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and all other agreements between them and have not entered into, and do not intend to enter into, any arrangements that would result in the formation of a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or in the creation of any beneficial ownership interest by a party in the shares of FCEI capital stock held by another party hereto for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act.

          (l) Further Assurances. The parties hereto will each execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all further documents and instruments reasonably requested by another party and use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations, to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, providing any information reasonably requested in order to permit a party hereto to make timely filings under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

               (d) Regulatory Allocations. Notwithstanding the general allocation rules set forth above, the following special allocation rules shall apply under the circumstances described therein.

          (i) Limitation on Loss Allocations. The Net Losses allocated to any Member pursuant to Section 4.02(c) with respect to any fiscal year shall not exceed the maximum amount of Net Losses that can be so allocated without causing such Member to have a Capital Account Deficit at the end of such fiscal year. All Net Losses in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 4.02(d)(i) shall be allocated to Members which are not subject to the foregoing limitation.

          (ii) Qualified Income Offset. If in any fiscal year a Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), and such adjustment, allocation or distribution causes or increases a Capital Account Deficit for such Member, then, before any other allocations are made under this Agreement or otherwise, such Member shall be allocated items of income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income, including gross income and gain) in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible.

          (iii) Company Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Company fiscal year, each Member shall be allocated items of income and gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, for subsequent fiscal years) in proportion to and to the extent of, an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.704-2(f) and (g).

          (iv) Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Company fiscal year, each Member who has a share of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.704-2(i), shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.704-2(i).

          (v) Company Nonrecourse Deductions. Company Nonrecourse Deductions for any Company fiscal year shall be specially allocated among the Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

          (vi) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Member Nonrecourse Deduction for any Company fiscal year shall be specially allocated

16

               (e) Tax Allocations.

          (i) Generally. Except as set forth in Section 4.02(e)(ii), allocations for tax purposes of items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit shall be made in the same manner as allocations for book purposes.

          (ii) Special Rules. In accordance with Code section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed (or distributed with respect to property so contributed) to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Book Value.

In the event the Book Value of Company Property is adjusted pursuant to Section 4.01(c) hereof, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to the Property shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and the Book Value in the same manner as under Code section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder.

The Managing Member shall make such allocations in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.704-3 using the method selected by the Managing Member.

          (iii) Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.02(e) are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of profits, losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement.

If any amount of Net Cash Flow is distributed to a Member under this Section 4.03(b)(vii) for any fiscal year, such amount will be deducted from the first distributions which would otherwise be made to such Member in later fiscal years when Net Cash Flow or Net Refinancing Proceeds and Net Sales Proceeds otherwise distributable to such Member exceed the Tax Liabilities for such fiscal year, and instead be distributed in a manner which reverses all distributions under this Section 4.03(b)(vii).

23

               (b) Pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.02 and subject to the provision of Section 5.01(e), the Managing Member shall have full power and authority to take any and all actions on behalf of the Company. The Managing Member shall take all actions which may be necessary or appropriate for the development, maintenance, preservation and operation of the Property and other assets of the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and applicable laws and regulations. The Managing Member shall be under a duty to use due care and reasonable diligence in the management of the Company’s business and shall conduct the affairs of the Company in good faith and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and in a manner consistent with the purposes set forth in Section 2.03.

     5.04 Intentionally Omitted.

     5.05 Sale or Conveyance of Property. (a) If, at any time after either (x) the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Stabilization Date or (y) a default by FCE or any of its Affiliates under Sections 2.3 or 4.9 of the Master Contribution Agreement which continues unremedied for more than thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Xxxxxx to Forest City or any other circumstance that would give rise to a right on the part of Xxxxxx (and/or its Affiliates) to terminate the Master Contribution Agreement with respect to the Property in accordance with Section 9.5(b) thereof, a Member desires to sell the Property pursuant to a bona fide third party offer to purchase, and the other Member does not wish to do so, then the Member desiring to sell (the “Selling Member”) may, by notice to the other Member (the “Non-Selling Member”) accompanied by a copy of the third party offer containing the material and relevant terms of the offer, require the Non-Selling Member to proceed with the sale on the terms proposed by the third party unless within sixty (60) days after receipt of the notice, the Non-Selling Member elects to purchase the Property on the same terms (or to the extent that some or all of the terms cannot be duplicated because of their unique nature, for example, an exchange for a specific property, then on terms substantially similar to and at least equal in value to the terms that cannot be duplicated) as are contained in the third party offer. The exercise of the Non-Selling Member’s election shall be accompanied by a deposit of five (5%) percent of the purchase price, but not more than the deposit required under the third party offer, and the closing must occur within twelve (12) months following the exercise of the election. If the election is made but the Non-Selling Member fails to close as herein provided, the Selling Member may retain the deposit as sole and liquidated damages and the Non-Selling Member shall have no further right to acquire the Property.

24

               (b) After the fifth anniversary of the Stabilization Date, if a Selling Member desires to market and offer to sell the Property without having a bona fide offer from a third party and the other Member does not wish to do so, the Selling Member may thereafter notify the Non-Selling Member of the gross price based upon which the Selling Member is willing to sell the Property and the other relevant terms. In such event, the Non-Selling Member, within six (6) months after receipt of such notice, may elect to purchase the Property or may obtain a bona fide offer from a third party to purchase the Property which shall be more favorable to the Company than the terms specified by the Selling Member and invoke the provisions of Section 5.05(a). If the Non-Selling Member does not do so, the Selling Member will, for a period of six (6) months after the expiration of the Non-Selling Member’s right of election, be authorized to enter into an agreement for the sale of the Property for a gross purchase price of not less than ninety five (95%) percent of the price specified in the notice previously given by the Selling Member to the Non-Selling Member, and otherwise on terms consistent with the relevant terms proposed to the Non-Selling Member. If the Selling Member does not enter into such an agreement for sale within the six (6) month period, or having entered into such an agreement, the closing thereunder does not occur and the six (6) month period has expired, the Selling Member must again comply with the terms of this Section 5.05(b). If the Non-Selling Member does elect to purchase the Property for the specified price, then the same terms as govern the deposit, closing date, liquidated damages and waiver contained in Section 5.05(a) above shall apply to the purchase by the Non-Selling Member under this Section 5.05(b).

     5.06 Financing. At any time during which the indebtedness of the Company must be refinanced and the Management Committee is in disagreement with respect thereto, either Member may provide the other Member a notice setting forth the terms on which it believes the Company should enter into an agreement to refinance the indebtedness of the Company. Said notice will contain all relevant and material terms and will comply with any limitations or requirements in this Agreement (such as the requirement that any loan be non-recourse). In the event said other Member provides, within sixty (60) days after receipt of the notice of proposed loan terms, reasonable evidence of the availability of a loan on more favorable terms than those proposed, the Company will diligently pursue a refinancing on the terms and with the lender identified by said other Member. If said other Member is unable to provide such evidence of availability, the Company shall pursue the refinancing on the terms outlined in the initial proposal and may conclude same without the consent or approval of said other Member. If the closing of the refinancing does not occur within six (6) months after the notice of proposed terms was first provided, the applicable Member must again comply with the provisions of this Section 5.06.

     5.07 Removal of Managing Member. If the Managing Member shall commit a material breach of its obligations hereunder or be negligent in the performance of its responsibilities or otherwise breach or default in any of its material obligations hereunder, the other Member shall give the Managing Member notice of such breach, negligence or default and the Managing Member shall cure such breach or default within ten (10) Business Days thereafter; provided, however, that if such cure cannot reasonably be accomplished within such ten (10) Business Day period, the Managing Member shall commence and diligently prosecute such cure to completion within a reasonable period of time under the circumstances. If the Managing Member fails to so cure such breach, negligence or default within such applicable period of time, the other Member shall have the right upon notice to the Managing Member to

25

remove the Managing Member, in which event the other Member shall become the Managing Member hereunder. If the Managing Member becomes the subject of an Act of Insolvency, the other Member shall become the Managing Member on five (5) Business Days’ prior notice. Disputes as to whether or not a Managing Member shall be removed shall be subject to arbitration and, during the pendency of any such arbitration, the role of the Managing Member shall be vested in the Management Committee.

     5.08 Liability of a Member for Good Faith Acts. No Member, including without limitation the Managing Member, shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to any Member for any act or omission performed or omitted by it in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed by such Member to be within the scope of authority granted to it by this Agreement and in the best interest of the Company and the Members, unless such act or omission shall constitute negligence, willful misconduct or a breach of fiduciary duty to the Members.

     5.09 Indemnification of Members.

               (a) In any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding to which any Member (or its directors, officers, employees, agents or constituent partners, shareholders or members) , including without limitation the Managing Member, becomes a party, or is threatened to be made a party, by reason of the position of such Member (or its directors, officers, employees, agents or constituent partners, shareholders or members) , involving an alleged cause of action for damages arising from activities performed within the scope of such Member’s authority under this Agreement, the Company shall, to the extent of its assets, indemnify such Member against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by it in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if the Member acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed by it to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and provided that such Member’s conduct does not constitute negligence, willful misconduct or a breach of its fiduciary obligations to the Members. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order or settlement shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Member did not act in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed by it to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company.

               (b) In no event shall a Member (or its directors, officers, employees, agents, or constituent partners, shareholders or members) be liable for any loss or damage to the Company or its property caused by strikes, labor troubles, riots, fires, acts of a public enemy, insurrections, acts of God, breakdown or failure of plant or machinery, failure to carry out the provisions hereof due to the provisions of law, rules or regulations promulgated by any government agency, or any demand or requisition of any government, or from any other cause beyond the control of the Member.

     5.10 Activities of Members.

If Forest City desires to Assign all or any portion of its interest in the Company, in addition to first offering such interest to Xxxxxx as provided in Section 8.03(b), the sale shall be subject to the Tag-Along provisions contained in Section 8.03(c).

               (b) If a Member wishes to Assign all of its interest in the Company as provided in Section 8.03(a) above, such Member (the “Offeror”) must first give notice (the “Option Notice”) to the other Member (the “Offeree”) that it intends to Assign all of its interest in the Company at a purchase price set forth in the Option Notice (the “Option Price”) and upon such other terms and conditions as are set forth in the Option Notice. The Offeree shall have an option, for a period of sixty (60) days from and after the date of the Option Notice, to:

               (i) elect in writing to purchase the Offeror’s interest in the Company, upon the same terms and conditions as are contained in the Option Notice (or to the extent that some or all of the terms cannot be duplicated because of their unique nature, for example, an exchange for a specific property, then on

31

terms substantially similar to and at least equal in value to the terms that cannot be duplicated), except that the Offeree shall remit upon the acceptance thereof a certified or bank check payable to the order of the Offeror in an amount equal to five (5%) percent of the Option Price as a deposit on the Option Price; or

               (ii) elect in writing not to purchase the Offeror’s interest in the Company, in which event the Offeror may Assign its interest in the Company for a purchase price and upon such terms and conditions which are no less favorable to the Offeror than those set forth in the Option Notice within six (6) months after the Offeree shall so elect in writing or the expiration of the sixty (60) day period, whichever is earlier. If the Offeror shall not so Assign its interest within such time period, any subsequent proposed Assignment of the Offeror’s interest in the Company shall again be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.03(b).

If the Offeree does not respond in writing to an Option Notice prior to the expiration of the sixty (60) day option period, the Offeree shall be deemed to have elected not to purchase the Offeror’s interest in the Company.

               (c) If Forest City desires to make an Assignment as to which the provisions of Section 8.03(a) apply, then after compliance with the provisions of Section 8.03, and if Forest City is continuing to pursue such Assignment, Forest City shall give notice (the “Sale Notice”) to Xxxxxx that it continues to desire to Assign its interest in the Company, accompanied by a bona fide third-party offer (the “Purchase Offer”) to purchase, in the alternative, (x) all of the interests of the Members in the Company at a specified purchase price (the “Full Price”) and upon such other terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Offer, or (y) to purchase just the interest of Forest City in the Company at a purchase price (the “Partial Price”) and upon such other terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Offer. Xxxxxx shall have the right to (i) join with Forest City in the Assignment of all of the interests in the Company for the Full Price (the “Tag-Along”), (ii) acquire (or cause the acquisition of) Forest City’s interest for the Partial Price (or to the extent that some or all of the terms cannot be duplicated because of their unique nature, for example, an exchange for a specific property, then on terms substantially similar to and at least equal in value to the terms that cannot be duplicated), or (iii) remain in the Company with no change in its interest. If within sixty (60) days after receiving the Sale Notice, Xxxxxx fails to give notice to Forest City of its election under clause (i) , (ii) or (iii) , then Xxxxxx shall be deemed to have elected under clause (iii). If Xxxxxx elects (or is deemed to have elected) under clause (iii), Forest City may, within ninety (90) days after the expiration of said sixty (60) day period or date on which Xxxxxx so elects whichever is earlier, proceed to Assign its interest in the Company to a third party in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Offer; provided, however, that if such Assignment is not closed within said ninety (90) day period, any subsequent proposed Assignment of Forest City’s interest in the Company shall again be subject to this Section 8.03(c) and, if the six (6) month period in Section 8.03(b) shall also have expired, to Section 8.03(b). If Xxxxxx elects under clause (ii) above, the closing shall occur on a date selected by Xxxxxx in the election notice to Forest City, which date must be within twelve (12) months after the date on which Xxxxxx so elects, and at a location in the City and State of New York selected by Xxxxxx in said election notice. The closing shall take place on said date and at such location in accordance with Section 8.05.

               (e) The provisions of this Section 8.03 shall not apply to any transfer permitted under Section 8.01(b) and Section 8.01(c).

Xxxxxx may offer to Forest City the interest of Xxxxxx in the Company (the “Put Right”) at any time after (i) the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Stabilization Date or (ii) the transfer of Control of FCE or Forest City after the date hereof or (iii) a default by FCE or any of its Affiliates under Sections 2.3 or 4.9 of the Master Contribution Agreement which continues unremedied for more than thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Xxxxxx to Forest City or any other circumstance that would give rise to a right on the part of Xxxxxx (and/or its Affiliates) to terminate the Master Contribution Agreement with respect to the Property in accordance with Section 9.5(b) thereof, in any case by notice given to Forest City (the “Put Notice”). The purchase price to be paid to Xxxxxx for its interest in the Company shall be the Membership Value of Xxxxxx or, if Xxxxxx exercises the Put Right while Forest City has pending an Option Notice, or a Sale Notice, the purchase price shall be one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Membership Value of Xxxxxx. Within thirty (30) days following receipt by Forest City of the Put Notice, Forest City shall, by notice to Xxxxxx, (a) fix a closing date not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the exercise of the Put Right by Xxxxxx and fix a location for closing in the City and State of New York, said closing to take place on said date and at such location in accordance with Section 8.05, or (b) advise Xxxxxx that it does not wish to acquire the interest of Xxxxxx in the Company. If Forest City fails to provide such notice within said thirty (30) day period, Forest City shall be deemed to have advised Xxxxxx pursuant to clause (b). If Forest City notifies or is deemed to have notified Xxxxxx pursuant to clause (b) that it does not wish to acquire the interest of Xxxxxx in the Company, Xxxxxx may market and sell the Property within twelve (12) months thereafter without the consent of Forest City or the Management Committee and is hereby irrevocably authorized to do so on behalf of the Company for the Property Value. If Xxxxxx shall give to Forest City the Put Notice, the same shall render any notices under Section 5.05, Section 5.06 and Section 8.03 inapplicable unless Forest City shall have notified or is deemed to have notified Xxxxxx pursuant to clause (b) above and Xxxxxx does not sell the Property within twelve (12) months thereafter. In all events, it is understood that Xxxxxx may withdraw a Put Notice at any time prior to the transfer of the interest of Xxxxxx in the Company.

     8.05 Closing.

               (a) If an interest in the Company is to be Assigned pursuant to Section 8.02, 8.03(c) or 8.04, then at the closing, the Assignor shall execute and deliver to the purchasing Member assignments of interest, deeds, bills of sale, instruments of conveyance, and other instruments as the purchasing Member may reasonably require, to give it good and clear record title to all of the Assignor’s right, title and interest in and to the Company and the Property, subject to liabilities and obligations as provided in Section 8.05(b) of this Agreement, and the Assignor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the purchasing Member its attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to

VALUATION

     11.01 Valuation. (a) If the Membership Value of an interest in the Company needs to be determined for purposes of Section 8.02 or Section 8.04, then the Member initiating the need for such determination (the “Initiating Member”) shall within thirty (30) days thereafter appoint an appraiser in order to obtain an appraisal of the fair market value of the Property, as of the date in question (the “Property Value”). Within twenty (20) days after the Initiating Member has appointed an appraiser, the other Member shall, by notice to the Initiating Member, appoint a second appraiser. If the second appraiser shall not have been appointed within such twenty (20) day period, the first appraiser shall proceed to make his appraisal, in which event his appraisal alone shall determine the Property Value. If the second appraiser is timely appointed, each appraiser shall, with all possible speed, proceed to make an independent appraisal of the Property. Within 60 days after the appointment of the second appraiser, the two appraisers thus appointed shall attempt to agree on the Property Value, in which event such value shall be the Property Value for purposes hereof; if the two appraisers are within five (5%) percent of each other’s fair market value determination, the Property Value shall be the average of the two values; provided, however, that if the two appraisers fail to agree on the Property Value within five (5%) percent of each other within such sixty (60) day period, then within fifteen (15) days of the expiration of such sixty (60) day period, they shall jointly appoint a third appraiser, who shall

35

make an independent appraisal of the Property. If the two appraisers shall fail to appoint or agree upon the third appraiser within such fifteen (15) day period, the third appraiser shall be selected by the Supreme Court or other appropriate court of the State in which the Property is located. In the event of appointment of a third appraiser, the Property Value shall be the fair market value as determined by the third appraiser. All appraisers shall be disinterested persons of recognized competence who are MAI appraisers with at least five (5) years’ experience in appraising commercial real properties. All appraisals shall be in writing. Each appraiser shall appraise the fair market value of the Property in its condition as of the date in question, at its highest and best use on the basis of all relevant factors affecting market value in accordance with generally accepted appraisal techniques. Promptly after the completion of the independent appraisal(s), the appraiser(s), acting jointly, shall send a copy of each appraiser’s appraisal and a statement of the Property Value as determined by such appraisals (“Appraisers’ Notice”) to each Member and to the Company’s accountants. The Members shall each pay the fees and expenses of the appraiser selected by or on their behalf, and any fees and expenses of the third appraiser and any general expenses incurred by the appraisers in connection with the appraisal shall be divided equally between the Members.

               (b) Within twenty (20) days after the date of the Appraisers’ Notice of the Property Value, the Company’s accountants shall send a notice to each Member containing the Membership Value of the Initiating Member.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     I am acting as counsel for Forest City Enterprises, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“FCEI”), in connection with the transactions contemplated by that certain Master Contribution and Sale Agreement, dated ___, 2006, by and among FCEI, the FCE Entities, Master III, the Master III Entities, the BCR Entities and the BCR Individuals (as the same may have been amended from time to time, the “Master Contribution Agreement”). Defined terms used but not otherwise defined in this opinion letter will have the meaning given to such terms in the Master Contribution Agreement.

     The consideration to be delivered by Forest City Master III and the Master III Entities pursuant to the Master Contribution Agreement includes a combination of cash and Class A Common Units. Following a one-year lock-up period subject to certain exceptions, the Class A Common Units may be redeemed in kind or exchanged for cash or for shares of FCEI’s Class A Common Stock. FCEI is required to reserve and register with the Securities and Exchange Commission the FCEI Class A Common Stock that may be issued upon the exchange of the Class A Common Units.

     I am of the opinion that FCEI’s Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the exchange of the Class A Common Units in connection with this transaction:

	i.		is duly authorized, fully paid and non-assessable;
	ii.		is free of preemptive and similar rights and liens; and
	iii.		when issued, will not require registration under Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

     In rendering this opinion, I have examined the Articles of Incorporation and the Code of Regulations of FCEI, and my examination of matters of law has been limited to, and I express no

opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than, the laws of the State of Ohio, the Ohio General Corporation Law and the federal laws of the United States.

     This opinion letter is furnished solely for your benefit and for the benefit of your counsel insofar as it relates to matters of the jurisdictions indicated above in connection with the transaction contemplated by the parties under the Master Contribution Agreement, and may not be circulated to, relied upon, described or quoted from any other person without my prior written consent.

     I disavow any obligation to update this opinion letter or advise you of any changes in my opinion letter in the event of changes in applicable laws or facts or if additional or newly discovered information is brought to may attention. This opinion letter is provided to you as a legal opinion only and not as a guarantee or warranty of the matters discussed herein or in the documents referred to herein.

Very truly yours,


Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx

SCHEDULE 2.3(c)
to
MASTER CONTRIBUTION AND SALE AGREEMENT

DETERMINATION OF VALUE

Line		Caption		Comments
1		NOI 200[_] Actual		In the case of the Operating Properties, actual Net Operating Income (NOI) for the fiscal year 2005 (Feb. 1, 2005 — Jan. 31, 2006), as reflected in the general ledger, was utilized. For the Development Properties, there will likely not be a full fiscal year of NOI as of the Stabilization Date. Thus, an appropriate adjustment and/or annualization of income may be required, and particular attention is required for the adjustments set forth below for NOI Normalization (line 2), Lease Annualization (line 5) and Lease Stabilization (line 6).
		Adjusted for:
2		(+) NOI Normalization		In cases where there were non-recurring expenses during the fiscal year for which NOI 200[_] Actual (line 1) was determined, (e.g., for grand openings, marketing), these non-recurring expenses were ignored and an appropriate adjustment made to NOI 200[_] Actual.
3		(+) Ground Rent (Adjustment)		In the case where PV of Ground Lease (line 15) below takes into account the present value of all ground lease rent payments to be made by the Development Property Owner, there is the possibility for a duplicative deduction since NOI 200[_] Actual (line 1) may already incorporate a deduction for ground lease payments made for which NOI 200[_] Actual (line 1) was determined. In order to avoid such duplication, ground lease rent payments during the fiscal year for which NOI 200[_] Actual (line 1) was determined are to be ignored and an appropriate adjustment made to NOI 200[_] Actual.
4		(+) Straight Line Rent		The calculation of NOI 200[_] Actual (line 1) is based on rental revenues that have been “straight-lined”. The effects of this straight-lining are to be avoided, so that rents received are those actually paid for the fiscal period in question, by an appropriate adjustment to NOI 200[_] Actual (line 1).
5		(+) Lease Annualization		If a space tenant paid rent for only part of the fiscal year for which NOI 200[_] Actual (line 1) was determined, then an adjustment is to be made by assuming that such rent was paid for the entire fiscal year in question.
6		(+) Lease Stabilization		If the Development Property is less than 95% occupied, then unoccupied space (up to 95% occupancy) is assumed to be rented at market rents and appropriate adjustments made to NOI 200[_] Actual.
7		(=) Adj. Xxx./Stab. NOI
9		(+) Non-Esc Exp Adjustment		If there were non-property level expenses incurred by the Development Property Owner due to circumstances that are either unique to that owner (e.g., that it must comply with requirements applicable to public companies) and/or would not be incurred by a third-party owner, then these expenses are

Schedule 2.3(c)— Page 1

Line		Caption		Comments
				ignored and an appropriate adjustment made to NOI 200[_] Actual. However, consistent with the methodology used in deriving the Adj. Xxx./Stab. Esc Adj. NOI (line 10) (for purposes of applying a cap rate) it is appropriate to add back certain agreed upon recurring expenses that FC will have in operating the development property in question on an on-going basis in future years. For illustrative purposes only, see Exhibit F in the NAV model used to value the operating properties.
10		(=) Adj. Xxx./Stab. Esc Adj. NOI
11		(÷) Cap Rate		The relevant capitalization rate for the market and product type in question is to be utilized.
12		(=) Capitalized NOI
13		(+) Other Value Adjustments		An appropriate adjustment is to be made to Capitalized NOI (line 12) to take into account any value that is not captured in the calculation of Capitalized NOI (e.g., for undeveloped (or underdeveloped) and thus non-income (or lower income) producing parcels within a project).
14		(=) Gross Value
15		(-) PV of Ground Lease		The present value, determined using a discount rate of 8%, of all future ground lease liabilities.
16		(-) Participation Adjustment		If a third-party such as a ground lessor has a right to a payment in connection with and triggered by a sale of the Development Property in question, then the amount of that payment (determined in accordance with the underlying agreement) is to be deducted from Gross Value (line 14).
17		(=) Net Gross Value
19		(-) Debt		Subtracted from the Net Gross Value is the total amount of indebtedness encumbering the Development Property as of the end of the fiscal period in question.
20		(+) Debt Adjustment		In cases where there are reserves for the repayment of debt or other offsets to indebtedness, the amounts in question are added back to Net Gross Value (line 17).
21		(=) Net Asset Value
23		(-) Promote Repayment		A deduction is to be made for the return of and on Forest City’s capital.
24		(=) Value after Promote Pmt
25		Value @ BCR Ownership		BCR’s percentage ownership of the Development Property Owner is applied to Value after Promote Pmt (line 24).
26		(-) Equity Loan Balance		Equity loan balance plus unpaid accrued preferred return outstanding as of the end of the fiscal period in question.
27		(+) Value Deficit		An adjustment for any situation where the deduction for Equity Loan Balance (line 26) results in a Value @ BCR Ownership (line 25) of less than zero. This is intended to bring Value @ BCR Ownership (line 25) up to zero, so that there would be no negative value to BCR.
28		(=) BCR Value After Repayment

Financial Information Letter

See attached

June 5, 2006

Mr. Thomas G. Smith
Executive Vice President,
   Chief Financial Officer & Secretary
Forest City Enterprises, Inc.
Terminal Tower Suite 1100
50 Public Square
Cleveland, Ohio 44113

Re:   Quarter Ended April 30, 2006

Dear Mr. Smith:

I am providing this letter in connection with the preparation of Forest City Enterprises, Inc.’s (the Company) Form 10-Q for the period indicated above in relation to the New York strategic business unit, including Forest City Ratner Companies, First New York Partners, New Jersey Nets, and all subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “the SBU”). I confirm that I am responsible for the fair presentation in the consolidated PlanMaster reports except for the shell companies for the period referred to above of the SBU’s balance sheet and pre-tax earnings amount on the income statement in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Certain representations in this letter are described as being limited to those matters that are material. Items are considered material, regardless of size, if they involve an omission or misstatement of accounting information that, in the light of surrounding circumstances, makes it probable that the judgment of a reasonable person relying on the information would have been changed or influenced by the omission or misstatement.

I confirm, to the best of my knowledge and belief, as of the date of this letter, the following representations:

1) I have provided to you all:

	a)		Financial records and related data.
	b)		Communications from regulatory agencies concerning noncompliance with or deficiencies in financial reporting practices.
	c)		Material transactions, agreements or accounts that have not been properly recorded in the accounting records underlying the PlanMaster reports.

2) Omitted intentionally.

1 Metro Tech Center North, Brooklyn, NY 11201 (718) 923-8400 Fax: (718) 923-8700

3)		There are no significant deficiencies (other than previously communicated to the Risk Management Department), including material weaknesses, in the design or operation of internal controls which could adversely affect the SBU’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data. As of the balance sheet date, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the SBU’s disclosure controls and procedures was carried out. Our assessment of disclosure items was based on the Corporate Form 10-Q checklist. Based on that evaluation, we believe our SBU’s disclosure controls and procedures, in all material respects, are effective. There have been no changes in our SBU’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the SBU’s internal control over financial reporting.
4)		We have disclosed to you all deficiencies in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting (whether or not remediated) identified as part of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2006.
5)		We acknowledge our responsibility for the design and implementation of programs and controls to prevent and detect fraud.
		I am not aware of any:

	a)		Fraud or suspected fraud involving management or employees who have significant roles in the SBU’s internal controls. (I understand the term “fraud” to mean those matters described in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 99, Consideration of Fraud in a Financial Statement Audit).
	b)		Fraud involving others that could have a material effect on the consolidated PlanMaster reports of the SBU.
	c)		Violations or possible violations of laws or regulations whose effect should be considered for disclosure in the consolidated PlanMaster reports or as a basis for recording a loss contingency.
	d)		Allegations of fraud or suspected fraud affecting the SBU or the Company in communications from employees, former employees, analysts, regulators, short sellers, or others.

6) I am not aware of any plans or intentions that may materially affect the carrying value or classification of assets or liabilities.

7)		All related-party transactions, including sales, purchases, loans, transfers, leasing arrangements, guarantees and amounts receivable from or payable to related parties have been disclosed to you in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 57. I understand the term “related-party” to include those entities described in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 45, footnote 1.
8)		We have disclosed all material guarantees (except in accordance with mortgage debt arrangements and other financing agreements which are governed by FC Finance), whether written or oral, under which the SBU is contingently liable. All guarantees have been evaluated in accordance with valuation provisions of Financial Interpretation (FIN) No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an Interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34. Additionally, we have discussed the relevant disclosure provisions of FIN No. 45 with the External Reporting Group.
9)		There are no significant estimates and material concentrations known to management that are required to be disclosed in accordance with AICPA’s Statement of Position 94-6, Disclosure of Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties. (Significant estimates are estimates at the balance sheet date that could change materially within the next year. Concentrations refer to volumes of business, revenues, available sources of supply, or markets or geographic areas for which events could occur that would significantly disrupt normal finances within the next year.)
10)		The SBU has satisfactory title to all owned assets and there are no liens or encumbrances on such assets nor has any asset been pledged as collateral, except as disclosed to you.
11)		The SBU has complied with all aspects of contractual agreements that would have a material effect on the PlanMaster reports of the SBU in the event of noncompliance.
12)		Receivables recorded in the PlanMaster reports represent bona fide claims against debtors for sales or other charges arising on or before the balance sheet date and are not subject to discount except for normal cash discounts. All receivables have been appropriately reduced to their estimated net realizable value.
13)		Inventories of land are recorded in the PlanMaster reports at lower of cost or market, if applicable.

14)		All liabilities of which I am aware are included in the consolidated PlanMaster reports as of the balance sheet date(s). Other than disclosed there are no unrecorded liabilities or gain or loss contingencies that are required to be accrued or disclosed by SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. There are no unasserted claims or assessments that our legal counsel has advised are probable of assertion and required to be disclosed in accordance with SFAS No. 5.
15)		The SBU has appropriately reconciled its books and records (e.g., general ledger accounts) underlying the PlanMaster reports to their related supporting information (e.g., sub ledger or third-party data). All related reconciling items considered to be material were identified and included on the reconciliations and were appropriately adjusted in the PlanMaster reports. There were no material unreconciled differences or material general ledger suspense account items that should have been adjusted or reclassified to another account balance. There were no material general ledger suspense account items written off to a balance sheet account, which should have been written off to an income statement account and vice versa. Based on the Company’s policy, all intracompany and intercompany accounts have been eliminated or appropriately measured and considered for disclosure in the consolidated PlanMaster reports.
16)		All material costs that have been deferred to future periods meet the definition of an asset as defined in the Statement of Financial Accounting Concepts No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements, and are realizable.
17)		All cash and bank accounts and all other properties and assets of the SBU of which I am aware are included in the PlanMaster reports.
18)		I have disclosed to you all arrangements with financial institutions involving compensating balances or other arrangements involving restrictions on cash balances, lines of credit or similar arrangements.
19)		The SBU has adopted and applied the relevant provisions of FIN No. 46(R) (revised December 2003) (FIN 46(R)) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities and the related FASB Staff Positions (FSPs) for all variable interest entities (VIEs) created after January 31, 2003 and special-purpose entities (SPEs) created prior to February 1, 2003. In this process the SBU has properly:

	a.		Identified variable interest(s) currently held in entities and determined whether the entity is a variable interest entity including reconsideration as described in paragraph 7.
	b.		Consolidated VIEs for which the SBU is the primary beneficiary including reconsideration events as described in paragraph 15.
	c.		Complied with the disclosure requirements in paragraph 24 of FIN No. 46 or FIN No. 46(R) regarding VIEs that are not consolidated by the SBU, but in which the SBU holds a significant variable interest.

20) Tax-exempt bonds issued have retained their tax-exempt status.

21)		I have reviewed long-lived assets to be held and used or to be disposed of by sale and certain identifiable intangibles, if any, including equity method investments, for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that the carrying amount of assets might not be recoverable, and have appropriately recorded the adjustment. We have also reviewed our equity method investments, including our interest in Nets Sports and Entertainment, LLC., and believe that the carrying values of such investments are not in excess of their fair value at April 30, 2006.
22)		I have reviewed the criteria for revenue recognition included in Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, namely, collectibility, delivery, evidence of arrangement and fixed price and are recognizing revenue in accordance with SAB No. 104.
23)		There are no anticipated losses on contracts that are determinable, including contracts on which work has not started as of the date of this letter.
24)		Changes in lease provisions, including renewals or extension of the terms of a lease have been evaluated by the Company based on SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, paragraph 9, in order to determine whether the change gives rise to a new lease with a classification different from the previous classification.
25)		I am not aware of any subsidiary, partnership, affiliate and/or any other legal entity that has not been included in the PlanMaster reports that would have a material impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the SBU.
26)		With regard to real estate investments included in the PlanMaster reports and managed by third parties, I am not aware of any material differences in the application of accounting policies by said third parties with the policies employed by the Company, other than that they do not straight-line rents which I deem an immaterial difference. Otherwise, I am not aware of any misapplication of generally accepted accounting principles related to these entities.
27)		The SBU is in compliance with all debt covenants which could have a material impact on the PlanMaster reports of the SBU. The SBU’s long-term debt does not contain any subjective acceleration clauses, except in the event of default as defined by the agreements.
28)		I believe that all of our partners or members with deficit capital accounts that have a debit minority interest balance net of write offs reported on the consolidated PlanMaster reports of the SBU as of balance sheet date, are recoverable pursuant to the provisions set forth in the respective partnership agreement.

29)		All advances on behalf of affiliates are considered realizable in all material respects based on current undiscounted cash flow projections assuming a long-term hold of the underlying properties and the SBU’s priority claim on such cash flows as documented in the respective operating and/or partnership agreements.
30)		The SBU has no current intention to sell or refinance Forest City Bridge Street Associates. As such, no accrual has been made in the financial statements for the quarter ended April 30, 2006 or for the year ended January 31, 2006
31)		We believe that the probability weighted present value of estimated future cash flows related to the indemnification by the Company of the National Basketball Association (“NBA”) is at or near zero. Accordingly, no liability has been established as of April 30, 2006. Further, the SBU has appropriately accounted for and disclosed the impact of this guarantee pursuant to FIN 45. We have fully disclosed to you all such guarantees.
32)		For purposes of its evaluation (including all reconsideration events that occurred during the quarter ended April 30, 2006) of Nets Sports and Entertainment, LLC (formerly Brooklyn Sports, LLC), the SBU has concluded that the entity is a variable interest entity and that its investment should not be consolidated based on consideration of all facts and circumstances as required by FIN No. 46(R) paragraph 17 as FCR Sports, LLC is not the most closely associated investor. Accordingly, the Company’s investment in Nets Sports and Entertainment, LLC will be presented as an equity method investment as of April 30, 2006. We believe the Company has also complied with the disclosures requirements of FIN No. 46(R).
33)		If applicable, our SBU has evaluated all transfers of financial assets to determine that control over the transferred assets has been surrendered and that all of the conditions pursuant to paragraph 9 of SFAS No. 140 have been met. We do not have any transactions that fall under the guidance of SFAS No. 140.
34)		Our SBU has appropriately accounted for and disclosed the impact of all off-balance sheet commitments, borrowings and other obligations pursuant to the appropriate authoritative literature, including but not limited to FAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers of Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. We have fully disclosed to you all such off-balance sheet commitments, borrowings and obligations.
35)		If applicable, our SBU has evaluated all transactions involving qualified special purpose entities to determine that all of the conditions pursuant to paragraph 35 of SFAS No. 140 have been met. We do not have any transactions that fall under the guidance of SFAS No. 140.

36)		Principal and interest payment on our note receivable is current and we believe that the borrower will continue to meet their contractual obligation. Accordingly, we do not believe the note receivable to be impaired. If necessary, the SBU would review notes receivable for impairment, apply a systematic methodology for measuring and documenting loan losses and make appropriate allowances thereon if necessary, in accordance with SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan and SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan — Income Recognition and Disclosures. Our SBU would measure impaired notes based upon the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at an appropriate interest rate. The allowance for doubtful accounts related to these notes would encompass probable credit losses related to specifically-identified loans that have been incurred. The allowance does not include an amount for loan losses expected to be incurred subsequent to April 30, 2006.
37)		Commitments for future purchases are for quantities not in excess of anticipated requirements and at prices that will not result in loss. No provision has been made for any material loss to be sustained in the fulfillment of, or from the inability to fulfill, any sales commitments as no such losses exist.
38)		We have advised you of all lease termination agreements and have appropriately recorded lease termination income pursuant to SFAS No. 13.
39)		The information provided to Forest City Enterprises, Inc.’s tax department by the SBU for purposes of computing the tax provision under generally accepted accounting principles is complete and accurate.
40)		The cash flow package and Form 10-Q checklist provided to Forest City Enterprises, Inc.’s Corporate Controller’s Group by the SBU for use in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are complete and accurate.
41)		Other than disclosed, no material events have occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date and through the date of this letter that would require adjustment to or disclosure in the aforementioned consolidated PlanMaster reports. Additionally, any material subsequent event from the date of this letter until the filing of the Company’s Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission will be communicated to the Corporate External Reporting Group.
42)		No changes in internal control over financial reporting, including any corrective actions taken by us with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses, have occurred subsequent to April 30, 2006 and through the date of this letter.

43)		We acknowledge that we have received and reviewed the new Form 8-K Policies and Procedures as provided by the Corporate Controller’s Group via an e-mail dated August 19, 2004. We have disclosed all Form 8-K triggering events related to our SBU from January 31, 2006 through the date of this letter.
44)		Omitted intentionally.
45)		We have designed the internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the PlanMaster reports in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
46)		We concur with the identifiable assets (investment) number for the Nets SBU as of April 30, 2006 as it is disclosed in the Segments Disclosure in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 30, 2006.
47)		We have reviewed all of our tangible long-lived assets, including related operating/ground lease agreements that contain provisions that require the leased assets to be returned in the same condition that existed at lease inception (i.e., the agreement requires the removal of any leasehold improvements at the end of the lease term) and other agreements for associated asset retirement obligations (AROs) and have not recognized any related liabilities in accordance with FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations and FIN 47 Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations as such amounts are immaterial based upon both qualitative and quantitative considerations. Additionally, for those long-lived assets and or operating/ground lease agreements that have asbestos that has been contained and encapsulated in accordance with the requisite legal regulations as of April 30, 2006, we have no present intention of demolishing the asset and/or performing a rehabilitation that would create a legal obligation to remove the asbestos. We are also unaware of any unremediated asbestos obligation at April 30, 2006. The methods and assumptions used to measure the fair value of are AROs, for purposes of assessing materiality, are appropriate and reasonable under the circumstances and utilize the best available information.
48)		We have completed the process of evaluating the impact that will result from the adoption of EITF 4-05, Investor’s Accounting for an Investment in a Limited Partnership When the Investor Is the Sole General Partner and the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights. Such effects are properly disclosed in the financial statements.

The effects of any uncorrected financial statement misstatements aggregated by you during the current review engagement and pertaining to the interim periods in the current year, as summarized in the accompanying schedule, are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the consolidated interim financial statements as of April 30, 2006 and for the three months then ended, taken as a whole.

7.4(a)		For purposes of Section 7.4(a), the BCR Representative will identify the individuals with knowledge with respect to each representation and warranty relating to such Development Property following the Stabilization Date for such Development Property. If and to the extent that the individuals so identified by the BCR Representative vary from those identified in Schedule 7.2(t) (other than due to the discontinuance of the employment of an individual identified on Schedule 7.2(t) by such individual’s employer as of the date hereof and the identification by the BCR Representative of such individual’s successor), then Forest City will have the right to review and approve the individuals identified by the BCR Representative, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

MASTER CONTRIBUTION AND SALE AGREEMENT

Certain Waivers

Each of the Ground Leases with The City of New York for Atlantic Center, 2MTC, 1MTC, 11MTC, 9MTC, and 15MTC contains a representation and warranty and covenant from the Property Owner with respect to the direct and indirect ownership of the Property Owner. Only in the case of 15MTC is such representation and warranty made as of the date of the relevant Ground Lease. Each Ground Lease further provides for a default if the Property Owner’s representations and warranties regarding its direct and indirect ownership become untrue in any material respect. Since indirect ownership will change at each Closing, there may arguably be a breach of the representations and warranties, and thus possibly a default under the Ground Leases. One may also argue, however, that each of the transfers in question is a “permitted transfers”, thus the change in ownership structure is not material and no default should arise.

Each of the Ground Leases with The City of New York (“NYC”) for Atlantic Center, 2MTC, 1MTC, 11MTC, 9MTC, and 15MTC, and the Anchor lease with Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (“MS”), contains provisions calling for a “Transaction Payment” in the event of certain transfers of beneficial ownership of the relevant Property Owner. Confirmation will be sought from both NYC and MS that no such payments are due in connection with the transactions contemplated to occur at the Principal Closing and the exercise of the Exchange Rights.
