TITLE AND PERMITTED
EXCEPTIONS
Section

Property subject only to the Permitted Exceptions with respect to such
Property.
Section
8.2 Intentionally
Omitted.
Section
8.3 Use of Cash Consideration
Amount to Discharge Title Exceptions. If,
at the Closing, there are any title exceptions applicable to a Property which
are not Permitted Exceptions for such Property and which Seller is obligated by
this Agreement or elects to pay and discharge, then Seller may use any portion
of the Purchase Price to satisfy the same, provided that Seller shall have
delivered to Buyer at the Closing instruments in recordable form sufficient to
satisfy such title exceptions of record, together with the cost of any
applicable recording or filing fees. The existence of any such liens
or encumbrances shall not be deemed objections to title if Seller shall comply
with the foregoing requirements. Any due and unpaid liens for
delinquent taxes, water charges and assessments applicable to the period prior
to the Closing Date shall not be objections to title, but the amount thereof
plus any interest and penalties thereon shall be deducted from the Purchase
Price payable at Closing, subject to the provisions for apportionment of taxes,
water charges and assessments contained in Article X of this
Agreement.
Section
8.4 Inability to
Convey. Except
as expressly set forth in Section 8.6, nothing contained in this Agreement shall
be deemed to require Seller to take or bring any action or proceeding or any
other steps to remove any title exception or to expend any moneys therefor, nor
shall Buyer have any right of action against Seller, at law or in equity, for
Seller’s inability to cause title to the Properties to be held by the Owner
Entities on the Closing Date subject only to the Permitted
Exceptions.
Section
8.5 Rights in Respect of
Inability to Convey. In
the event that Seller shall be unable to cause title to the Properties to be
held by the Owner Entities on the Closing Date subject only to the Permitted
Exceptions, and Buyer shall not, prior to the Closing Date (as it may have been
adjourned in accordance with this Agreement), give written notice to Seller that
Buyer is willing to waive objection to each title exception which is not a
Permitted Exception for the applicable Property and close this transaction
without abatement of the Gross Asset Value, credit or allowance of any kind or
any claim or right of action against Seller for damages or otherwise, Seller
shall have the right, at Seller’s sole election, to either (a) take such action
as Seller shall deem advisable to discharge each such title exception which is
not a Permitted Exception or (b) terminate this Agreement. In the
event Seller shall elect to take action to discharge each such title exception
which is not a Permitted Exception, Seller shall be entitled to one or more
adjournments of the Closing Date for a period not to exceed 30 days in the
aggregate (inclusive of any adjournments made by Seller pursuant to Section 8.6
hereof), and the Closing shall be adjourned to a date specified by Seller not
beyond such 30 day period. If, for any reason whatsoever, Seller
shall not have succeeded in discharging each such title exception at the
expiration of such adjournment(s) and if Buyer shall not, prior to the
expiration of the last of such adjournments, give notice to Seller that Buyer is
willing to waive objection to each such title exception and to close this
transaction without abatement of the Gross Asset Value, credit or allowance of
any kind or any claim or right of action against Seller for damages or
otherwise, this Agreement shall be deemed to be terminated as of the last date
to which the Closing Date was adjourned by Seller pursuant to this Article
VIII. Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section
8.5, (x) the Xxxxxxx Money shall be refunded to Buyer and (y) neither party
shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than those which
expressly survive the termination of this Agreement or as otherwise provided in
this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 8.5 shall be subject
to Seller’s and Buyer’s rights and obligations with respect to Voluntary Title
Exceptions and Monetary Title Exceptions as set forth in Section
8.6.
-35-
Section
8.6 Voluntary Title
Exceptions;
Monetary Title Exceptions (a). If,
from time to time prior to the Closing, Buyer shall become aware of any
Voluntary Title Exceptions or Monetary Title Exceptions, then Buyer shall
promptly notify Seller thereof, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail
the Voluntary Title Exceptions(s) and/or Monetary Title Exceptions and the
applicable Property. Seller shall be obligated to discharge all
Voluntary Title Exceptions and discharge, bond or cause the Title Company to
insure over all Monetary Title Exceptions on or prior to Closing; provided, however, that the
maximum amount which Seller shall be required to expend in the aggregate in
connection with the removal of Monetary Title Exceptions which are not Voluntary
Title Exceptions shall be $5,000,000. Seller shall be entitled to one
or more adjournments of the Closing Date not to exceed 30 days in the aggregate
(inclusive of any adjournments made by Seller pursuant to Section 8.5 hereof) to
discharge all Voluntary Title Exceptions and Monetary Title
Exceptions. In the event Buyer notifies Seller of one or more
Monetary Title Exceptions which individually or in the aggregate would require
Seller to expend more than $5,000,000 to remove, then Seller shall not be
required to cause such Monetary Title Exception(s) to be removed and Buyer may
elect to (a) accept title to the Properties subject to such Monetary Title
Exception(s) at Closing, at which time Buyer shall receive a credit against the
Gross Asset Value in the amount of $5,000,000 or (b) terminate this Agreement
and receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money, and in the event of such termination
neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than
those which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.

Title.

by notice given to Seller at any time prior to the Closing Date (as it may have
been adjourned by Seller pursuant to this Article VIII), elect to accept such
title as Seller can convey, notwithstanding the existence of any title
exceptions which are not Permitted Exceptions. In such event, this
Agreement shall remain in effect and the parties shall proceed to Closing but,
Buyer shall not be entitled to any abatement of the Gross Asset Value, any
credit or allowance of any kind or any claim or right of action against Seller
for damages or otherwise by reason of the existence of any title exceptions
which are not Permitted Exceptions.

foregoing, at or prior to the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall deliver to the
Title Company such affidavits, certificates and other instruments as are
reasonably requested by the Title Company and customarily furnished in
connection with the issuance of such endorsements or policies, including,
without limitation, (a) evidence sufficient to establish (x) the legal existence
of Buyer and Seller and (y) the authority of the respective signatories of

Section
10.1 Fixed Rents and Additional
Rents.
(a) Fixed
rents (“Fixed
Rents”) and Additional Rents (as hereinafter defined; Fixed Rents and
Additional Rents collectively referred to herein as “Rents”) paid or
payable by the Tenants in connection with their occupancy of the Properties
shall be adjusted and prorated on an if, as and when collected
basis. Neither Seller nor Buyer shall receive credit at Closing for
any payment of Rents or Additional Rents due but not paid as of the
Closing. Any Rents collected by Seller, the Venture or any Owner
Entity after the Closing from any Tenant who owes Rents for periods prior to the
Closing, shall be applied (i) first, in payment of Rents owed by such Tenant for
the month in which the Closing occurs, (ii) second, in payment of current
rentals at the time of receipt, (iii) third, to delinquent rentals, if any,
which became due after the Closing, and (iv) then to delinquent rentals, if any,
which became due and payable prior to the Closing. Such Rent,
less any costs of collection (including reasonable counsel fees) reasonably
allocable thereto, shall be adjusted and prorated as provided above, and the
party who receives such amount shall promptly pay over to the other party the
portion thereof to which it is entitled. For the purposes of this
provision, the term “Additional Rent”

additional rent based upon a percentage of the tenant’s business during a

so called “escalation rent” or additional rent based upon increases in real
estate taxes or operating expenses or labor costs or cost of living or xxxxxx’x
wages or otherwise, (iv) marketing, media and promotional charges and (v) other
reimbursements payable by any such Tenant. Seller shall be
responsible for any liabilities arising out of or in connection with any rent
audits, including without limitation such audits as set forth on Schedule 3.3(c)(vi)
attached hereto, relating to the period prior to the Closing.

(b) The
Venture shall cause the Owner Entities to xxxx Tenants who owe Rents for periods
prior to the Closing on a monthly basis following the Closing and use
commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to collect such past due Rents, but
shall not be obligated to engage a collection agency or take legal action to
collect such amount.
(c) To
the extent that any portion of Additional Rent is required to be paid monthly by
Tenants on account of estimated amounts for any calendar year (or, if
applicable, any lease year or any other applicable accounting period), and at
the end of such calendar year (or lease year, tax year or other applicable
accounting period, as the case may be), such estimated amounts are to be
recalculated based upon the actual expenses and other relevant factors for that
calendar (or lease) year or other applicable accounting period, with the
appropriate adjustments being made with such Tenants, then such portion of the
Additional Rent shall be prorated at the Closing based on such estimated
payments actually paid by tenants (i.e., with Seller entitled to retain all
monthly or other periodic installments of such amounts paid by Tenants which
relate to periods prior to Closing, Seller to pay to Buyer at the Closing all
monthly or other periodic installments of such amounts theretofore received by
Seller which relate to periods following the Closing). At the time(s)
of final calculation and collection from (or refund to) each Tenant of the
amounts in reconciliation of actual Additional Rent for a period for which
estimated amounts paid by such Tenant have been prorated, there shall be a
re-proration between Seller and Buyer based on the Closing Date and the period
of time each party owned the BREP JV Interest.

Assessments. Real
estate (ad valorem) and personal property taxes and assessments (including any

current official real property tax information available from the county
assessor’s office where the Properties are located or other assessing
authorities. If real property tax and assessment figures for the
taxes or assessments to be apportioned between Buyer and Seller pursuant to this
Section 10.2 are not available, real property taxes shall be prorated based on
the most recent assessment, subject to further and final adjustment when the tax
rate and/or assessed valuation for such taxes and assessments for the Properties
is fixed. In the event that the Properties or any part thereof shall
be or shall have been affected by an assessment or assessments, whether or not
the same become payable in annual installments, Seller shall, at the Closing, be
responsible for any installments due prior to the Closing and the Venture shall
be responsible for any installments due on or after the Closing.
Section
10.3 Water and Sewer
Charges. Water
rates, water meter charges, sewer rents and vault charges, if any (other than
any such charges, rates or rents which are payable by Tenants of the Properties
pursuant to such Tenants’ Leases, for which no adjustment shall be made), shall
be adjusted and prorated on the basis of the fiscal period for which
assessed. If there is a water meter, or meters, on the Properties,
Seller agrees that they shall at the Closing furnish a reading of same to a date
not more than 30 days prior to the Closing and the unfixed meter charges and the
unfixed sewer rent thereon for the time intervening from the date of the last
reading shall be apportioned on the basis of such last reading, and shall be
appropriately readjusted after the Closing on the basis of the next subsequent
bills. Unmetered water charges shall be apportioned on the basis of
the charges therefor for the same period of the preceding calendar year, but
applying the current rate thereto.

Charges. Gas,

and Seller shall credit such amount to the Venture. When actual bills
are known for the periods in which the Closing occurs, Seller shall pay all such
utility charges as evidenced by such xxxx or bills pertaining to the period
prior to the Closing, and the Venture shall pay all such utility charges
pertaining to the period thereafter.
Section
10.5 Contracts. Charges
and payments, and any pre-paid expenses incurred in the ordinary course of
business, paid by Seller under all Assumed Contracts for periods after the
Closing, including, without limitation, insurance premiums and other pre-paid
fees incurred in the ordinary course of business, shall be added to the Gross
Asset Value at Closing.

All
amounts held in reserve or escrow accounts by either the Westshore Lender or the
Xxxxx Lender at the time of Closing pursuant to the TPL Documents shall be added
to the Gross Asset Value at Closing.

Revenues. Revenues,
if any, arising out of telephone booths, vending machines, parking, or other
income producing agreements, shall be adjusted and prorated based upon the date
of Closing, on an if, as and when collected basis, and the party who receives
such amount shall promptly pay over to the other party the portion thereof to
which it is entitled.
Section
10.8 Closing Statement
Credit. At Closing, Buyer shall receive a credit to the Purchase

Amortization Credit shall not be taken into account in determining Adjusted
Gross Asset Value or Net Asset Value.

Costs. Seller
shall be responsible for all Leasing Costs relating to Leases or renewals,
amendments, expansions and extensions of Leases, entered into or which first
become binding, prior to the date of this Agreement, including, without

Costs other than Seller’s Leasing Costs, and shall assume the economic effect of
any “free rent” or other concessions pertaining to the period from and after the
Closing Date and expressly disclosed in the Leases. Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 10.9 to the contrary, the Venture shall be responsible
for all Leasing Costs relating to renewals, amendments, expansions and
extensions of Leases, in each case to the extent such Leasing Costs relate to
renewal, expansion or extension rights of tenants under such Leases that are
exercised or amendments that are entered into, after the date of this
Agreement. To the extent any Seller’s Leasing Costs have not been
fully paid as of the Closing Date, there shall be a credit at the Closing
against the Gross Asset Value in the amount of the balance of Seller’s Leasing
Costs remaining to be paid.

Closing, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to, or at the
direction of, Seller. If for any reason the Closing does not occur
and either party makes a written demand upon the Escrow Agent for payment of
such amount, the Escrow Agent shall, within 24 hours give written notice to the
other party of such demand. If the Escrow Agent does not receive a
written objection within five Business Days after the giving of such notice, the
Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make such payment. If the Escrow
Agent does receive such written objection within such five Business Day period
or if for any other reason the Escrow Agent in good faith shall elect not to
make such payment, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until
otherwise directed by joint written instructions from the parties to this
Agreement or a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction. However, the Escrow Agent shall have the right at any
time to deposit the Xxxxxxx Money with the clerk of the court of New York
County. The Escrow Agent shall give written notice of such deposit to
Seller and Buyer. Upon such deposit the Escrow Agent shall be
relieved and discharged of all further obligations and responsibilities
hereunder.

their request and for their convenience, that the Escrow Agent shall not be

than for its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Seller and Buyer
shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from
and against all costs, claims and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and
disbursements, incurred in connection with the performance of the Escrow Agent’s
duties hereunder.

Documents”), (y) the Interest ROFO Escrow Agent shall deliver the
Interest ROFO Down Payment in immediately available funds to the Selling Member
and (z) the Responding Member shall pay to the Selling Member the Interest ROFO
Purchase Price (less a credit for the Interest ROFO Down Payment) in immediately
available funds, as adjusted by customary closing adjustments. Each
party shall pay its own closing costs in connection with such sale, provided
that any transfer taxes or other similar tax payable in connection therewith
shall be paid by the Members pro rata in accordance with their respective
Capital Sharing Ratios. If the closing fails to occur by reason of a
default of the Responding Member, the Responding Member’s Interest ROFO rights
under this Section 3.3 shall be deemed extinguished and shall thereafter be null
and void and of no further force and effect, the Selling Member shall be
entitled to retain the Interest ROFO Down Payment as liquidated damages and the
Selling Member shall thereafter be free, at any time and from time to time, to
cause a sale of the Offered Interest in an arms-length transaction with a
third-party unaffiliated with the Selling Member at such price as the Selling
Member determines. If the closing hereunder fails to occur by reason
of default of the Selling Member, the Responding Member shall have the right, as
its sole and exclusive remedy, to either (A) demand that the Interest ROFO Down
Payment be returned to the Responding Member, or (B) seek specific
performance.

to have delivered an Interest ROFO Rejection Notice), the Selling Member shall
have a period of 180 days from expiration of the Interest ROFO Response Period
to enter into a contract of sale with a third party unaffiliated with Selling
Member (the “Interest
Purchase Agreement”) to complete the sale of the Offered Interest for a
purchase price of not less than 95% of the Interest ROFO Purchase
Price. The Selling Member shall deliver a copy of the Interest
Purchase Agreement (together with all schedules and exhibits thereto) to the
Responding Member promptly following execution. The Interest Purchase
Agreement must provide for a closing thereunder on a date not later than 270
days after expiration of the Interest ROFO Response Period. If
(i) the Interest Purchase Agreement is not executed within 180 days from
expiration of the Interest ROFO Response Period, (ii) the closing thereunder
does not occur within 270 days of the expiration of the Interest ROFO Response
Period, or (iii) Selling Member desires to sell the Offered Interest for less
than 95% of the Interest ROFO Purchase Price, Selling Member must again comply
with the ROFO procedures in this Section 3.3 prior to any sale of its Interest
and the other Member shall have all the rights available to it under this
Section 3.3 in connection with any such sale.
(e) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or elsewhere, in the event
that the Glimcher Member transfers its Interest in the Company under this
Section 3.3, (i) it shall be a condition to the consummation of such sale that,
at the option of the Blackstone Member in each case, the Property Management
Agreements, Affiliate Service Contracts and any other agreement between the
Company or the Property Owners, on the one hand, and any Affiliate of the
Glimcher Member, on the other hand, shall be terminated without any penalty,
premium or other liability incurred by the Property Owners, the Company or the
Members, (ii) the Blackstone Member shall thereafter have the right to cause the
Company and/or the Property Owners to enter into such property management and
leasing agreements with respect to the Properties as the Blackstone Member in
its sole discretion shall decide, and (iii) no such transferee of the Glimcher
Member’s Interest shall become the Administrative Member, and the Blackstone
Member shall have the sole and exclusive right to appoint the successor
Administrative Member from and after the consummation of the sale of the
Glimcher Member’s Interest.
Section
3.4. Other
Transfer Provisions.
(a) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Sections 3.2(b), 3.2(c) or 3.3, no Member may Transfer or
Encumber all or any part of its Interest if such Transfer or Encumbrance would
(i) violate any provision of any Indebtedness or the organizational documents of
the Company, (ii) violate, or cause the Company to violate, any applicable law
or regulation, including any federal or state securities laws, or (iii)
jeopardize the status of the Company as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes.

(b) To
the fullest extent permitted by law, any attempted Transfer of all or any
portion of an Interest or any Encumbrance, other than in strict accordance with
this Article 3, shall be null and void.
Section
3.5. Tag-Along
Rights. If the Responding Member delivers (or is deemed to
deliver) an Interest ROFO Rejection Notice pursuant to Section 3.3(a), and the
Selling Member thereafter intends to execute an Interest Purchase Agreement with
respect to the Offered Interest, the Responding Member may require the Selling
Member to include the Responding Member’s Interest in such sale in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 3.5:
(a) In
the event the Selling Member proposes to enter into an Interest Purchase
Agreement pursuant to Section 3.3(d), the Selling Member shall deliver written
notice to the Responding Member (the “Tag Along Offer
Notice”) which shall include:
(1) A
description of the proposed purchase price and other material terms under such
proposed Interest Purchase Agreement , including a draft of the Interest
Purchase Agreement and any letters of intent or term sheets, and
(2) An

proposed sale.
(b) The
Responding Member may accept the offer contained in the Tag Along Offer Notice
by delivering written notice to the Selling Member of such intent (“Tag Along Acceptance
Notice”) at any time within the 10 Business Day period following delivery
of the Tag Along Notice. If the Responding Member does not deliver
the Tag Along Acceptance Notice within such 10 Business Day period, the Selling
Member shall be free to consummate such sale in accordance with Section 3.3
without including the Responding Member’s Interest. If the Responding Member
does deliver a Tag Along Acceptance Notice within such 10 Business Day period
then the Selling Member shall be required to include the Responding Member’s
Interest in any such sale at the price and substantially in accordance with the
other terms set forth in the Tag Along Offer Notice. Each
Member shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with respect to
any sale pursuant to this Section 3.5.

3.6. Resignation. A
Member may not resign or withdraw from the Company without the consent of all
other Members (which can be withheld in their sole discretion).

due to the affirmative actions or inactions of the Glimcher Member or any

or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company
or the Property Owners, if the actions or inactions causing such breach (i) are

for any reason, the replacement property manager or leasing agent hired by the
Company and the terms of its engagement shall be determined by the Blackstone
Member in its sole discretion, and may be with an Affiliate of
Blackstone. Such replacement management and/or leasing agreement
shall be on customary terms and at competitive rates of compensation which

or Affiliate.
Section
4.10. Transactions with
Affiliates. When
any service or activity to be performed on behalf of the Company is performed by
an Affiliate of a Member, the fee payable for such service or activity shall not
exceed the fee which would be payable by the Company to an unaffiliated third
party of comparable standing providing the same services and such agreement
shall otherwise be on arms-length terms and conditions.
Section
4.11. Indemnification;
Reimbursement of Expenses; Insurance.
(a) To
the fullest extent permitted by the Act: (1) the Company shall indemnify the
Managing Member, the Administrative Member and each Member who was, is or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,

appeal therein, or any inquiry or investigation preliminary thereto by reason of
the fact that such Member is or was a Managing Member, Administrative Member or
a Member, and (2) the Company shall pay or reimburse any Managing Member,
Administrative Member, or any Member for expenses incurred by such Member as

Proceeding to which such Managing Member, Administrative Member, or Member was,

appearance as a witness or other participation in any Proceeding. The
Company shall indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee or agent of
the Company to the same extent and subject to the same conditions under which it
may indemnify and advance expenses to Members under the preceding
sentence. The provisions of this Section 4.11 shall not be exclusive
of any other right under any law, provision of this Agreement, or
otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this indemnity shall not

misconduct or bad faith, but shall apply to actions constituting simple

protect itself, and any Member, officer, employee or agent of the Company,
whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person under
this Section 4.11. This indemnification obligation shall be limited
to the assets of Company and no Member shall be required to make a Capital
Contribution or loan in respect thereof.
26
(b) Each
Member agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and the other
Members from any loss, claim, damage or liability resulting from actions of such
Member constituting gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith or actions
taken outside the scope of authority provided under this Agreement.
Section
4.12. Conflicts of
Interest. Except as expressly provided under this Agreement,
each Member and any Affiliate of any Member may engage in and possess interests
in other business ventures of any and every type and description, independently
or with others, including ones in competition with the Company, with no
obligation to offer to the Company or any other Member the right to participate
therein or to account therefore; provided, the foregoing shall in no way
diminish or impair any rights of the Company and Property Owners or obligations
of the Glimcher Property Manager or Glimcher Leasing Agent under the Property
Management Agreements.
Section
4.13. Blackstone Right to Cause
Sale; Glimcher ROFO.
(a) From
and after the Lockout Date, the Blackstone Member shall have the sole right to
cause the sale of one or both of the Properties (or 100% of the interests in one
or both Property Owners) to an unaffiliated third party (any such sale, an
“Asset
Disposition”), provided such sale shall be subject to the right of first
offer given to the Glimcher Member pursuant to this Section 4.13 (“Asset
ROFO”). If the Blackstone Member desires to cause an Asset
Disposition, the Blackstone Member shall be required to give written notice (the
“Asset ROFO
Notice”) to the Glimcher Member identifying one or both of the Properties
(or one or both of the Property Owners) (the “Offered Assets”) and
containing an offer by the Blackstone Member to cause the Property Owners (or
the Company) to sell the Offered Assets to the Glimcher Member at a price set
forth in the Asset ROFO Notice (the “Asset ROFO Purchase
Price”). At any time within the 45 day period (the “Asset ROFO Response
Period”) commencing on the day the Blackstone Member sends the Asset ROFO
Notice to the Glimcher Member, the Glimcher Member shall have the right to
deliver written notice to the Blackstone Member either (A) electing to purchase
the Offered Assets for the Asset ROFO Purchase Price (an “Asset ROFO Election
Notice”), or (B) rejecting the offer contained in the Asset ROFO Notice
(an “Asset ROFO
Rejection Notice”). If the Glimcher Member fails to duly
deliver an Asset ROFO Election Notice within the Asset ROFO Response Period, the
Glimcher Member shall be deemed to have delivered an Asset ROFO Rejection Notice
rejecting the offer contained in the Asset ROFO Notice. If the Asset
ROFO Notice covers both Properties (or both Property Owners), then the Glimcher
Member’s Asset ROFO Election Notice must cover both Properties (or Property
Owners).
(b) If
the Glimcher Member duly delivers an Asset ROFO Election Notice, then within
three Business Days after the date thereof, the Glimcher Member shall deposit in
escrow with a reputable title insurance company authorized to do business in the
State of New York (the “Asset ROFO Escrow
Agent”) pursuant to escrow instructions consistent with this Section
4.13, a non-refundable cash down payment in immediately available funds in an
aggregate amount equal to 10% of the Asset ROFO Purchase Price (the “Asset ROFO Down
Payment”). If the Glimcher Member fails to timely deliver the
Asset ROFO Down Payment, the Glimcher Member shall be deemed to have delivered
an Asset ROFO Rejection Notice.
27
(c) If
the Glimcher Member timely delivers the Asset ROFO Down Payment, then each
applicable Property Owner (or the Company), as seller, and the Glimcher Member,
as purchaser, shall proceed to close the sale of the Offered Assets at the Asset
ROFO Purchase Price on a mutually acceptable closing date (the “Asset ROFO Closing
Date”), but in any event not later than 90 days after the Glimcher Member
delivered the Asset ROFO Election Notice, at a location designated by the
Blackstone Member. On the Asset ROFO Closing Date, (x) the Property
Owners (or the Company) shall sell to the Glimcher Member the Offered Assets
free and clear of all monetary liens other than liens for current real estate
taxes and assessments (or, to the extent permitted under any Indebtedness,
subject to such Indebtedness) by execution and delivery of the documents
attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Asset ROFO Sale
Documents”), (y) the Asset ROFO Escrow Agent shall deliver the Asset ROFO
Down Payment in immediately available funds to the applicable Property Owner (or
the Company) and (z) the Glimcher Member shall pay to the applicable Property
Owner (or the Company) the Asset ROFO Purchase Price (less a credit for the
Asset ROFO Down Payment) in immediately available funds, as adjusted by
customary closing adjustments. None of the Blackstone Member, the
applicable Property Owner or the Company shall be required to make any
representations or warranties with respect to the Offered Assets in connection
with such sale. Each party shall pay its own closing costs in
connection with such sale, provided that any transfer taxes or other similar tax
payable in connection therewith shall be by the Members pro rata in accordance
with their respective Capital Sharing Ratios. If the closing fails to
occur by reason of a default of the Glimcher Member, the Glimcher Member’s Asset
ROFO rights under this Section 4.13 shall be deemed forever extinguished and
shall thereafter be null and void and of no further force and effect, the
Blackstone Member shall be entitled to retain the Asset ROFO Down Payment as
liquidated damages and the Blackstone Member shall thereafter be free, at any
time and from time to time, to cause a sale of the Offered Asset in an
arms-length transaction with a third-party unaffiliated with the Blackstone
Member or BREP at such price as the Blackstone Member determines in its sole
discretion. If the closing hereunder fails to occur by reason of
default of the Blackstone Member, the Glimcher Member shall have the right, as
its sole and exclusive remedy, to either (A) demand that the Asset ROFO Down
Payment be returned to the Glimcher Member, or (B) seek specific
performance.
(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event the Offered Assets consist of both Properties (or
Property Owners), then, the Glimcher Member shall purchase all of the Blackstone
Member’s Interest in the Company, instead of purchasing the Offered Assets, and
the provisions of Section 4.13(c) shall apply in respect of such sale, except
that (i) the purchase price to be paid by the Glimcher Member to the Blackstone
Member in connection with consummating such sale shall be equal to the Interest
Price, and (ii) the documentation to be executed and delivered by the Glimcher
Member and the Blackstone Member to consummate such sale shall be in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Asset ROFO Deemed
Liquidation Sale Documents”).
(e) If
the Glimcher Member delivers an Asset ROFO Rejection Notice (or is deemed to
have delivered an Asset ROFO Rejection Notice), the Blackstone Member shall have
the right, for a period of 180 days from expiration of the Asset ROFO Response
Period to cause the applicable Property Owners (or the Company) enter into a
contract of sale (the “Asset ROFO Purchase
Agreement”) with an unaffiliated third party to complete the sale of the
Offered Assets for a purchase price of not less than 95% the Asset ROFO Purchase
Price. The Asset ROFO Purchase Agreement must provide for a closing
thereunder on a date not later than 270 days after expiration of the Asset ROFO
Response Period. If (i) the Asset ROFO Purchase Agreement is
not executed within 180 days from expiration of the Asset ROFO Response Period,
(ii) the closing thereunder does not occur within 270 days of the expiration of
the Asset ROFO Response Period, or (iii) the Blackstone Member desires to sell
the Offered Asset for less than 95% of the Asset ROFO Purchase Price, the
Blackstone Member must again comply with the ROFO procedures in this Section
4.13 and the Glimcher Member shall have all the rights available to it under
this Section 4.13 in connection with any such sale. If the Blackstone
Member offers both Properties under an Asset ROFO Notice, then it must sell both
Properties pursuant to this Section 4.13(e).
28
(f) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 4.13, no Member may cause the sale or disposition of a
Property or an interest in a Property Owner if such sale or disposition would
(i) violate any provision of any Indebtedness, or (ii) violate, or cause the
Company to violate, any applicable law or regulation, including any federal or
state securities laws.

CAPITAL
CONTRIBUTIONS
Section
6.1. Initial Capital
Contributions. On
the date hereof, (i) the Blackstone Member is deemed to have made Capital
Contributions to the Company in the amount of $[________] [i.e. the
Purchase Price less the Loan Amortization Credit (each as defined in the
Purchase Agreement)(the “Adjusted
Purchase Price”)], and
(ii) the Glimcher Member is deemed to have made Capital Contributions to the
Company in the amount of $[________] [i.e. 2/3 of the
Adjusted Purchase Price].1 All Capital Contributions made in
accordance with this Section 6.1 shall be referred to herein as “Initial Capital
Contributions”. The Members agree that after giving effect to
the Initial Capital Contributions, the respective Capital Sharing Ratios of the
Members as of the date hereof shall be as set forth on Schedule
A.
Section
6.2. Additional Capital
Contributions.
(a) After
the Initial Capital Contributions have been made, each Member shall make Capital
Contributions (“Additional Capital
Contributions”) pro rata based on each Member’s Capital Sharing Ratio, in
such amounts and at such times as are approved by the Members as a Unanimous
Major Decision. From time to time as
the Company requires funds to conduct its business as approved by the Members as
a Unanimous Major Decision, the Administrative Member, acting pursuant to the
authority granted to it under Section 4.2, shall give written notice (a “Funding Notice”) to
the Members of the amount of funds required, the use and purpose of such funds,
and each Member’s required contribution amount.
1
Note: appropriate adjustments to initial capital contributions (and deemed
contributions) to be made based on any true up under Section 10.11 of the
Purchase Agreement; no change to be made to the 60/40 split.
30
(b) In
addition to the foregoing, in the event additional capital is required by the
Company to address or avoid an “Emergency” (as defined below), both the
Administrative Member and the Managing Member shall have the authority to issue
a Funding Notice to the Members describing in reasonable detail the relevant
Emergency and indicating the amount of funds required and each Member’s required
contribution, and the Members shall be obligated to fund such amounts; provided,
however, that no Member shall be required to fund Additional Capital
Contributions in respect of Emergencies in excess of (i) $5,000,000 in any
calendar year, or (ii) $15,000,000 in the aggregate during the term of this
Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, an “Emergency” shall mean
the existence or imminent occurrence of any of the following events: (x)
shortfalls in funds for the payment of interest, required amortization (other
than any amortization at maturity) or required reserves under any Indebtedness,
(y) shortfalls in funds available for tenant inducement or tenant allowance
costs relating to each Lease which has been approved and entered into in
accordance with this Agreement or the Property Management Agreement, and (z)
costs associated with repairing or replacing life/safety systems or equipment at
a Property.
(c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, each Member shall be automatically
obligated to fund Additional Capital Contributions pro rata in accordance with
their respective Capital Sharing Ratios (without any further approvals
hereunder) as may be required to fund any shortfalls in connection with the
consummation of a Qualified Financing (including funding any shortfalls relating
to (i) the Indebtedness being refinanced by such Qualified Financing and (ii)
any closing costs relating to such Qualified Financing). Any
Additional Capital Contributions required to be funded by the Members pursuant
to this Section 6.2(c) shall be funded by each Member at least five Business
Days prior to the closing of the applicable Qualified Financing.
(d) In
the event of a failure by any Member to contribute an Additional Capital
Contribution required by this Section 6.2 within 10 Business Days of receipt of
the Funding Notice, such failure shall constitute a default by the Member of its
obligations under this Agreement and the Company and the other Member shall have
all remedies available at law and in equity, including all remedies set forth in
Section 6.3 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, a failure of the Glimcher Member to fund any Additional Capital
Contributions shall not constitute a Removal Event.
(e) No
Member shall be required to make Capital Contributions except as provided in
this Article 6.
Section
6.3. Failure to Make
Contributions. If
a Member fails to timely contribute all or any portion of an Additional Capital
Contribution (such Member, a “Non-Funding Member”)
and such default is not cured within 10 days notice of the date such Additional
Capital Contribution was due, then the other Members shall have the option, in
proportion to their Capital Sharing Ratios or in such other percentages as they
may agree (the “Funding Members”) to
advance that portion of the Additional Capital Contribution that the Non-Funding
Member has failed to timely contribute (a) as an Additional Capital Contribution
by such Funding Members, with a corresponding dilution to the Non-Funding
Member’s Capital Sharing Ratio (such dilution to be on a 1.25:1 basis), or (b)
as a loan (each, a “Member Loan”) in
accordance with the provisions of this Article. Any amounts funded by
a Funding Member on behalf of a Non-Funding Member as a Member Loan shall be
made directly to the Company, but shall be treated as a non-recourse (except to
the extent of the Non-Funding Member’s Interest) demand loan made by the Funding
Member to the Non-Funding Member, bearing interest at the Interest Rate, and a
Capital Contribution of the amount of such loan from the Non-Funding Member to
the Company. Any such non-recourse loan shall be repaid in full
directly by the Company on behalf of the Non-Funding Member to the Funding
Member from Net Cash Flow and Capital Proceeds otherwise distributable to the
Non-Funding Member under Article 8 prior to any amount being distributed to such
Non-Funding Member. Amounts paid directly by the Company to the
Funding Member on account of a Member Loan shall be deemed distributions to the
Non-Funding Member. Any Amounts used to repay such Member Loan shall be applied
first to accrued interest therein and then to repay principal of such Member
Loan.
31
Section
6.4. Return of
Contributions. Except
as expressly provided herein, no Member shall be entitled to (a) the return of
any part of its Capital Contributions, (b) any interest in respect of any
Capital Contribution or (c) the fair market value of its Interest in connection
with a withdrawal from the Company or otherwise. Capital
Contributions which are not repaid shall not be a liability of the Company or of
any Member. No Member shall be required to contribute or lend any
cash or property to the Company to enable the Company to return any Member’s
Capital Contributions to the Company.
Section
6.5. Balances. The
Company’s books and records shall contain entries indicating the type and amount
of Capital Contributions and loans made to the Company and the distributions and
payments made by the Company thereon.

FINANCING
Section
7.1. Financing.
(a) The
Members acknowledge that as of the date hereof the Properties are subject to the
Existing Loans. The Administrative Member shall, subject to the
provisions of this Agreement, including Section 4.5(a)(2) hereof, cause the
Company and the Property Owners to comply in all respects with the terms and
provisions of the Existing Loans.
(b) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Blackstone Member
shall have the unilateral and exclusive right, in its sole and absolute
discretion, during the period in which voluntary prepayment is permitted under
any Indebtedness and on or following the maturity of the Existing Loan or any
other Indebtedness with respect to each Property, to cause the Company and/or
the Property Owners to obtain one or more loans (any such loan and any
amendment, extension, restatement, modification, restructuring and refinancing
thereof shall be referred to as a “Financing”) which may
be secured by one or more mortgage liens on the Properties and/or pledges of
ownership interests in the Property Owners, provided that such Financing shall
be a Qualified Financing; provided that the Blackstone Member shall only have
the right to cause a voluntary prepayment of the Existing Loans prior to
maturity thereof if no penalty, premium or defeasance costs are payable in
connection with such prepayment. The Members agree that
they and their respective Affiliates as required by the Lender of a Financing
shall promptly provide such Lender with all information in its possession or
readily obtainable relating to the Properties, the Company and the Members which
is reasonably requested by such Lender in connection with a
Financing.
32
(c) In
connection with the closing of any Financing, GPLP shall be required to provide
in favor of the Lender thereof any required (i) guaranty of customary
non-recourse carveouts and (ii) environmental indemnity (collectively, the
“Glimcher Future
Financing Guaranties”) in each case in such form and substance as is
required by such Lender. In connection with the Glimcher Financing
Guaranties, the Glimcher Member shall provide to such Lender all information in
its possession or readily available with respect to the financial condition of
the Glimcher Member which is requested by the Lender in connection with such
Financing. As used herein, the term “Glimcher Financing
Guaranties” shall mean (1) any Glimcher Future Financing Guaranties, and
(2) the existing guaranty of recourse obligations executed by GPLP with respect
to each Existing Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
that as of the closing of a Financing relating to any Property, the Property
Management Agreement for such Property has been terminated and no Affiliate of
the Glimcher Member is then the property manager with respect to such Property,
GPLP shall not be required to provide any Glimcher Future Financing Guaranty in
connection with such Financing.
(d) The
Blackstone Member shall indemnify GPLP from and against (1) any out-of pocket
cost or expense actually incurred by GPLP under any Glimcher Financing Guaranty
which is caused solely by the affirmative actions of the Blackstone Member or
its Affiliates, (2) Blackstone Member’s pro rata share (based on each Member’s
respective Capital Sharing Ratio) of any out-of-pocket cost or expense actually
incurred by GPLP under any Glimcher Financing Guaranty which results from (i)
the taking of any action that is mutually approved by the Members as a Unanimous
Major Decision, or (ii) the existence of an environmental condition not
resulting from the actions or failure to act on the part of the Glimcher Member
or its Affiliates, other than the Excluded Liabilities, and (3) from and after
the date on which an Affiliate of the Glimcher Member is no longer the property
manager of any Property, the Blackstone Member’s pro rata share (based on each
Member’s respective Capital Sharing Ratio) of any out-of-pocket cost or expense
actually incurred by GPLP under any Glimcher Financing Guaranty relating to such
Property with respect to matters arising from and after the date that GPLP or an
Affiliate is no longer property manager thereof, unless caused by GPLP or any of
its Affiliates.
33
Section
7.2. Cooperation; Securitized
Debt. Each
of the Members acknowledges that a Lender may securitize, sell or otherwise
dispose of all or any portion of the Financing (each, a “Securitization”), and
each of the Members agrees to cooperate in all respects with such Lender in
connection with any such Securitization, including, without limitation, (a)
executing modifications to the Certificate and this Agreement and the
organizational documents of the Company and its subsidiaries so that the Company
and its subsidiaries will qualify as bankruptcy-remote entities and other
documentation changes of a similar nature and (b) causing the Company to comply
with other industry standard requirements in connection with
Securitizations. In addition, if any portion of the Financing is
structured as a mezzanine loan, the Company shall provide such pledges of its
interests in the Property Owners as required by the Lender under such
Financing.

DISTRIBUTIONS
Section
8.1. Distributions in
General. Except
as set forth in the approved Business Plan, all Net Cash Flow shall be
distributed quarterly, within 30 days after the end of the applicable calendar
quarter, and all Capital Proceeds shall be distributed within five days after
receipt of such Capital Proceeds. All distributions shall be made to
the Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Capital Sharing
Ratios.
Section
8.2. Miscellaneous.
(a) Notwithstanding
anything to contrary contained in this Article 8, at any time that any Member
Loan is outstanding, all distributions of Net Cash Flow and Capital Proceeds
otherwise distributable to the Non-Funding Member under this Article 8 shall
instead be paid to the Funding Member until such Member Loan, including all
accrued interest thereon, has been fully repaid. Any amounts paid
directly by the Company to the Funding Member on account of a Member Loan shall
be (1) deemed distributions to the Non-Funding Member, and (2) applied first to
interest on and then to principal of such Member Loan.
(b) Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not
be required to make a distribution to the Member on account of its Interest if
such distribution would violate the Act or any other applicable
law.
Section
8.3. Off-Set for Obligations
under Purchase Agreement. In the event that the Glimcher
Member (or its Affiliates) fails to pay to the Blackstone Member (or its
Affiliates) any Glimcher Purchase Agreement Liabilities, the Blackstone Member
shall have the right to off-set the amounts of any such Glimcher Purchase
Agreement Liabilities against any distributions to be made to the Glimcher
Member pursuant to Section 8.1, and such distributions shall instead be paid
directly to the Blackstone Member up to the amount of any unpaid Glimcher
Purchase Agreement Liabilities. In the event that the Blackstone
Member (or its Affiliates) fails to pay to the Glimcher Member (or its
Affiliates) any Blackstone Purchase Agreement Liabilities, the Glimcher Member
shall have the right to off-set the amounts of any such Blackstone Purchase
Agreement Liabilities against any distributions to be made to the Blackstone
Member pursuant to Section 8.1, and such distributions shall instead be paid
directly to the Glimcher Member up to the amount of any unpaid Blackstone
Purchase Agreement Liabilities.

CAPITAL
ACCOUNTS, ALLOCATIONS, AND TAX MATTERS
Section
9.1. Capital
Accounts.
(a) Establishment and
Maintenance. A separate capital account (“Capital Account”)
will be maintained for each Member. The Capital Account of each
Member will be determined and adjusted as follows:
(1) Each
Member’s Capital Account will be credited with the Member’s Capital
Contributions, the Profits allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 9.3(a),
any items in the nature of income or gain that are specially allocated to the

provision of this Agreement, the Losses allocated to such Member pursuant to

allocated to the Member under Section 9.3(c) or 9.3(d), and the amount of any

property contributed by the Member to the Company.
(3) If
any interest in the Company is transferred in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, the transferee will succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor
to the extent it relates to the transferred interest.
(b) Modifications by Managing
Member. The provisions of this Section 9.1 and the other
provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are
intended to comply with Section 704(b) of the Code and the Regulations
promulgated thereunder and will be interpreted and applied in a manner
consistent with those provisions. The Managing Member may modify the
manner in which the Capital Accounts are maintained under this Section 9.1 to
comply with those provisions, as well as upon the occurrence of events which
might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with those
provisions.
Section
9.2. Adjustment of Gross Asset
Value. “Gross
Asset Value”, with respect to any asset, is the adjusted basis of that asset for
federal income tax purposes, except as follows:
(a) The
initial Gross Asset Value of any asset contributed by a Member to the Company
will be the fair market value of the asset on the date of the contribution, as
determined by the Members; provided, however, that the initial Gross Asset Value
of the Properties shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.5 of the
Purchase Agreement.
35
(b) The
Gross Asset Values of all Company assets will be adjusted to equal the
respective gross fair market values (taking Code Section 7701(g) into account)
of the assets, as determined by the Members, as of (1) the acquisition of an
additional interest in the Company by any new or existing Member in exchange for
more than a de minimis
capital contribution, (2) the distribution by the Company to a Member of more
than a de minimis
amount of Company property as consideration for an interest in the Company if an
adjustment is necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative economic
interests of the Members in the Company, (3) the liquidation of the Company
within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), and (4) any
other date that is required by Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f).
(c) The
Gross Asset Value of any Company asset distributed to any Member shall be
adjusted to equal the gross fair market value (taking Code Section 7701(g) into
account) of the asset on the date of distribution.
(d) The
Gross Asset Value of Company assets will be increased or decreased to reflect
any adjustment to the adjusted basis of the assets under Code Section 734(b) or
743(b), but only to the extent that the adjustment is taken into account in
determining Capital Accounts under Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m),
provided that Gross Asset Values will not be adjusted under this Section 9.2(d)
to the extent that the Managing Member determines that an adjustment under
Section 9.2(b) is necessary or appropriate in connection with a transaction that
would otherwise result in an adjustment under this Section 9.2(d).
(e) After
the Gross Asset Value of any asset has been determined or adjusted under Section
9.2(a), 9.2(b) or 9.2(d), Gross Asset Value will be adjusted by the Depreciation
taken into account with respect to the asset for purposes of computing Profits
or Losses.
Section
9.3. Profits, Losses and
Distribution Shares of Tax Items.
(a) Profits and
Losses. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 9.3(c) and
9.3(d), Profits and Losses for any taxable year or other period, shall be
allocated among the Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Capital
Sharing Ratios. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, all allocations are intended to satisfy the “fractions” and
“substantial economic effect” rules contained in Section 514(c)(9)(E) of the
Code, and items of income, gain, credit, loss and deduction shall be allocated
among the Members only to the extent that such allocations would not violate
such rules. The Blackstone Member shall reasonably cooperate with the
Glimcher Member in complying with the provisions of Section 514(c)(9) of the
Code including providing all reasonable information required for such
compliance.
(b) Intentionally
Omitted.
(c) Special
Allocations. The following special allocations will be made in
the following order and priority before allocations of Profits and
Losses:
(1) Company Minimum Gain
Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulations
Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9.3
other than the last sentence of Section 9.3(a) above, if there is a net decrease
in Company Minimum Gain during any taxable year or other period for which
allocations are made, before any other allocation under this Agreement, each
Member will be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for that
period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in proportion to, and to the
extent of, an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company
Minimum Gain during such year determined in accordance with Regulations Section
1.704-2(g)(2). The items to be allocated will be determined in
accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g), 1.704-2(f)(6) and
1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 9.3(c)(1) is intended to comply with the
Company Minimum Gain chargeback requirements of the Regulations, will be
interpreted consistently with the Regulations and will be subject to all
exceptions provided therein.

Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Section 9.3 (other than the last sentence of Section 9.3(a) above and
other than Section 9.3(c)(1) which shall be applied first), if there is a net
decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain with respect to a Member
Nonrecourse Debt during any taxable year or other period for which allocations
are made, any Member with a share of such Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain
(determined under Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5)) as of the beginning of the
year will be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for that
period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in an amount equal to such
Member’s share of the net decrease in the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain
during such year determined in accordance with Regulations Sections
1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(g)(2). The items to be so allocated will be
determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g) and
1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 9.3(c)(2) is intended to comply with the
Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain chargeback requirements of the Regulations,
will be interpreted consistently with the Regulations and will be subject to all
exceptions provided therein.
(3) Qualified Income
Offset. A Member who unexpectedly receives any adjustment,
allocation or distribution described in Regulations Sections
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) will be specially allocated items of Company
income and gain in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent
required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Member
as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation
pursuant to this Section 9.3(c)(3) shall be made only to the extent that a
Member would have a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account after all
other allocations provided for in this Article 9 have been tentatively made as
if this Section 9.3(c)(3) were not in this Agreement. This Section
9.3(c)(3) is intended to qualify with the “qualified income offset” requirement
of the Regulations.
(4) Nonrecourse
Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or
other period for which allocations are made will be allocated among the Members
pro rata in accordance with their respective Capital Sharing
Ratios. The provisions of this Section 9.3(c)(4) are intended to
satisfy the requirements of Sections 704 and 514 of the Code and shall be
interpreted in accordance therewith for all purposes under this
Agreement.
(5) Member Nonrecourse
Deductions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or other
period for which allocations are made will be allocated to the Member who bears
the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which
the Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with
Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).
37
(6) Code Section 754
Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax
basis of any Company asset under Code Sections 734(b) or 743(b) is required to
be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts under Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the amount of the adjustment to the Capital Accounts will
be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the
asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases the basis), and the gain or loss
will be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the
manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted under
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).
(7) Gross Income
Allocation. In the event any Member has a deficit Capital
Account at the end of any taxable year or other period for which allocations are
made that is in excess of the sum of the amount such Member is obligated to
restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections
1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Member shall be specially allocated
items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as
possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this provision shall be made
only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit Capital Account
in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Section
9.3 have been made as if the Qualified Income Offset provision were not in the
Agreement.
(d) Curative
Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 9.3(c) (the
“Regulatory
Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of
Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. The Regulatory
Allocations may affect results which would be inconsistent with the manner in
which the Members intend to divide Company
distributions. Accordingly, the Administrative Member is authorized
to divide other allocations of Profits, Losses, and other items among the
Members, to the extent that they exist, so that the net amount of the
Regulatory¬ Allocations and the special allocations to each Member, taking into
account other Regulatory Allocations that are contemplated, is
zero. The Administrative Member will have discretion to accomplish
this result in any reasonable manner that is consistent with Code Section 704
and the related Regulations.
(e) Loss
Limitation. Losses allocated pursuant to Section 9.3(a) hereof
shall not exceed the maximum amount of Losses that can be allocated without
causing any Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any
taxable year or other period for which allocations are made. In the
event some but not all of the Members would have Adjusted Capital Account
Deficits as a consequence of an allocation of Losses pursuant to Section 9.3(a)
hereof, the limitation set forth in this Section 9.3(d) shall be applied on a
Member by Member basis and Losses not allocable to any Member as a result of
such limitation shall be allocated to the other Members in accordance with the
positive balances in such other Members’ Capital Accounts so as to allocate the
maximum permissible Losses to each Member under Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).
(f) Tax Allocations - Code
Section 704(c). For federal, state and local income tax
purposes only, Company income, gain, loss, deduction or expense (or any item
thereof) for each taxable year or other period for which allocations are made
shall be allocated to and among the Members to reflect the allocations of
Profits and Losses made pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.3 for such
fiscal year. In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the related
Regulations, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property
contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be
allocated among the Members by use of the “traditional method” and with regard
to Code Section 704(c)(1)(C) so as to take account of any variation between the
adjusted basis to the Company of the property for federal income tax purposes
and the initial Gross Asset Value of the property (computed in accordance with
Section 9.2). If the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is
adjusted under Section 9.2(b), subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and
deduction with respect to that asset will take account of any variation between
the adjusted basis of the asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross
Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the related
Regulations. Allocations under this Section 9.3(e) are solely for
purposes of federal, state and local taxes and will not affect, or in any way be
taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or distributions
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
38
(g) Reporting. Members
shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.3 in reporting their shares
of Company income and loss for income tax purposes.
Section
9.4. Tax
Returns. The
Administrative Member shall prepare or cause to be prepared and filed all
necessary federal and state income tax returns for the Company and the Property
Owners, including making the elections described in Section 9.5. Each
Member shall furnish to the Administrative Member all pertinent information in
its possession relating to Company operations that is necessary to enable such
income tax returns to be prepared and filed. In addition, the
Administrative Member shall cause to be delivered to each Member (A) on or
before February 28 of each year for the preceding year, (i) a draft of Schedule
K-1s, and (ii) a draft copy of the Company’s information return to be filed for
federal income tax purposes for approval by the Managing Member, not to be
unreasonably withheld, (B) within 45 days of the end of each calendar quarter,
(i) estimates of unrealized appreciation/depreciation, material realized
gain/loss due to currency valuation, realized gain/loss, income, expenses,
management fee, other accrued fees, contributions, distributions and capital
account balances (beginning and ending) and (ii) any information reasonably
requested by any Member relating to characterization of income as “qualifying
income” as defined in Section 7704(d) of the Code, (C) on or before April 15 of
each year for the preceding year, (i) a Schedule K-1, and (ii) a copy of the
Company’s information return as filed for federal income tax purposes and a
report setting forth in sufficient detail such other information with respect to
Company transactions as may be reasonably necessary for such Member to prepare
its own tax return, and (D) such other items as reasonably requested by a Member
from time to time, when reasonably available to the Administrative
Member.
Section
9.5. Tax
Elections. The
following elections shall be made on the appropriate returns of the
Company:
(a) to
adopt the calendar year as the Company’s fiscal year;
39
(b) to
adopt the accrual method of accounting and to keep the Company’s books and
records (other than Capital Accounts, which shall be maintained in accordance
with Section 9.2 hereof) on the income-tax method; and
(c) if
there is a distribution of Company property as described in section 734 of the
Code or if there is a transfer of a Company interest as described in section 743
of the Code, upon written request of any Member, to elect, pursuant to section
754 of the Code, to adjust the basis of Company properties.
No
election shall be made by the Company or any Member to exclude the Company from
the application of the provisions of subchapter K of chapter 1 of subtitle A of
the Code or any similar provisions of applicable state laws.
Section
9.6. Tax
Matters Member. The
Administrative Member shall be the
“tax matters partner” of the Company pursuant to section 6231(a)(7) of the Code
and Section 301.6231(a)(7)-2 of the Regulations. The
tax matters partner shall select an independent certified public accountant to
prepare audited financial statements and prepare tax returns. As tax
matters partner, such Member shall take such action as may be necessary to cause
each other Member to become a “notice partner” within the meaning of Section
6223 of the Code. Such Member shall inform each other Member of all
significant matters that may come to its attention in its capacity as tax
matters partner by giving notice thereof within ten days after becoming aware
thereof and, within such time, shall forward to each other Member copies of all
significant written communications it may receive in such
capacity. This provision is not intended to authorize such Member to
take any action left to the determination of an individual Member under sections
6222 through 6231 of the Code.
Section
9.7. Allocations on Transfer of
Interests. All items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and
credit allocable to any interest in the Company that may have been transferred
shall be allocated between the transferor and the transferee based upon the
“interim closing of the books” method, provided, however, such allocation shall
be made in accordance with a method permissible under section 706 of the Code
and the Regulations thereunder.

within 90 days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued
membership of such Member in the Company, agree in writing (i) to continue the
Company and (ii) to the admission of the personal representative or its nominee
or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute Member of the Company,
effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued
membership of the last remaining Member of the Company in the
Company.

Managing Member shall act as liquidator or may appoint one or more other Persons
as liquidating trustee; however, if the Company is dissolved because of an event

liquidating trustee shall satisfy (whether by payment or reasonable provision

for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidating
trustee may reasonably determine); and

other Person as the Act may require or permit) shall file a Certificate of
Cancellation with the Secretary of State of Delaware, cancel any other filings
made pursuant to Section 2.4, and take such other actions as may be necessary to
terminate the existence of the Company.

Covenant. The Glimcher Member is substantially owned,
indirectly, by GRT, which has elected to be treated as a real estate investment

notified the Company in writing that it intends to be a REIT at all times to be
qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes (including refraining from
taking actions inconsistent with such qualification). For purposes of

share of such items of the Company, (b) has no assets other than its share of
assets of the Company and (c) otherwise
meets all requirements for REIT qualification (including, without limitation,

be completely cured within such 30-day period, such longer period, not to exceed
ninety (90) additional days, as may reasonably be necessary provided that
Manager or Service Provider, after receiving such notice, promptly commences to
cure such default and thereafter proceeds with reasonable diligence to complete

completed within such additional 90-day period, such 90-day period may be

receipt of notice thereof from Manager; provided, however, that in the event
such material default is not susceptible to cure within such 30 day period, this
Agreement may not be terminated by Manager pursuant to this Section 9.2 so long
as Owner commences to cure such material default within such initial 30 day
period and diligently prosecutes such cure through its completion.
24
SECTION 9.3 Final

Before

(“Affiant”),
the _______________ of Glimcher Properties Corporation, a Delaware corporation,
the General Partner of Glimcher Properties Limited Partnership, a Delaware
limited partnership (the “Partnership”), who
being first duly sworn, says:
1. That
Affiant understands and acknowledges that Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue
Code (as amended, the “Code”) provides that
a transferee (buyer) of a United States real property interest (as defined in
Section 897(c) of the Internal Revenue Code) must withhold tax if the transferor
is a foreign person;
2. That
Affiant understands and acknowledges that for federal income tax purposes
(including Section 1445 of the Code), the owner of a disregarded entity (which
has legal title to a United States real property interest under local law) will
be the transferor of the real property interest and not the disregarded
entity;
3. That
the Partnership owns all of the membership interests in ____________________, a
Delaware limited liability company (the “Venture”), an entity
that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner under federal income
tax law;
4. That
the Venture owns all of the membership interests in each of (i) LC Portland,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (which has legal title to a United
States real property interest under local law, situated in Portland, Oregon),
and (ii) Glimcher Westshore, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (which
has legal title to a United States real property interest under local law,
situated in Tampa, Florida) (collectively, the “Owner Entities”),
each of which is an entity that is disregarded as an entity separate from its
owner under federal income tax law;
5. That,
because the Venture and the Owner Entities are disregarded entities, for federal
income tax purposes, the Partnership will be the transferor of such United
States real property interests situated in (i) Portland, Oregon, known as Xxxxx
Center and (ii) Tampa, Florida, known as Westshore Plaza and (the “Property”).
6. That
the Partnership is not a foreign corporation, foreign
partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are
defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations).
7. That
the Partnership is not a disregarded entity as defined in Treasury Regulations,
Subchapter A, Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii).
8. The
Partnership’s address and United States taxpayer identification number are as
follows:
______________________________

Tax ID
No.: 00-0000000
9. That
Affiant understands that this affidavit may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue
Service and that any false statement made herein could be punished by fine,
imprisonment, or both.
[Signature Page on Next

Under penalties of perjury, Affiant
declares that he has examined this affidavit, and to the best of his knowledge
and belief, it is true, correct, and complete, and Affiant further declares that
he has the authority to sign this affidavit on behalf of the

Hillsborough Transit Authority Lawsuit: In January 2009, the
Hillsborough Transit Authority (“HTA”) filed a lawsuit against Glimcher
Westshore, LLC, Glimcher Prop., LP, GRT, and Glimcher Prop. Corp. (collectively,
the “Glimcher Defendants”) alleging breach of contract and violations of the
Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"). HTA is also seeking a
declaratory judgment as to the rights and duties of HTA and Glimcher Westshore,
LLC under the agreement for the construction and maintenance of the bus
facility. HTA alleges that the pavement to the facility has not been
properly maintained. HTA did not specifically plead its damages except to state
that such damages are in excess of $15,000. Court ordered mediation was
conducted; however, no settlement was reached. The current estimate
to repair the pavement is $29,000.
2. Xxxxx

crosswalk at the mall. Plaintiff claims mall was negligent in
maintaining the premises and such action was the proximate cause of her
