THE SEPARATION

Section 2.1 Separation Transactions. Prior to the Effective Time, InvenTrust shall, and shall cause Highlands and each other Subsidiary and controlled Affiliate of InvenTrust to, effect each of the transactions set forth in Schedule 2.1, in each case, with such modifications, if any, as InvenTrust shall determine are necessary or desirable for efficiency or similar purposes.

Section 2.2 Transfers of Assets and Assumptions of Liabilities.

(a) Transfer of Assets and Assumption of Liabilities Prior to Effective Time. Subject to Section 2.1 and Section 2.2(b), InvenTrust and Highlands agree to take all actions necessary so that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) the Highlands Group will own, to the extent it does not already own, all of the Highlands Assets and none of the InvenTrust Assets, and (ii) the Highlands Group will be liable for, to the extent it is not already liable for, all of the Highlands Liabilities and none of the InvenTrust Liabilities.

(b) Deferred Transfers and Assumptions.

(i) Nothing in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement will be deemed to require the transfer of any Assets or the assumption of any Liabilities that by their terms or by operation of Law cannot be transferred or assumed.

(ii) To the extent that any transfer of Assets or assumption of Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement is not consummated prior to the Effective Time as a result of an absence or non-satisfaction of any required Consent, Governmental Approval and/or other condition (each such Asset or Liability, a “Deferred Asset” or a “Deferred Liability,” as applicable, and, collectively, a “Deferred Asset or Liability”), the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such transfers or assumptions as promptly following the Effective Time as practicable. If and when the Consents, Governmental Approvals and/or other conditions, the absence or non-satisfaction of which gave rise to the Deferred Asset or Deferred Liability, are obtained or satisfied, the transfer or assumption of the Deferred Asset or Deferred Liability will be effected in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement or the applicable Ancillary Agreement, if any. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2.2 shall be deemed to create or impose any limitations on the transfer of the Highlands Assets or assumption of Highlands Liabilities, and the Parties each agree that title to each of the Highlands Subsidiaries and Highlands Properties shall be held by Highlands or its Subsidiaries, and that Highlands and its Subsidiaries shall have assumed, to the extent they were not previously liable for, the Highlands Liabilities, at or prior to the Effective Time as a result of the Separation and Distribution.

(iii) From and after the Effective Time until such time as the Deferred Asset or Deferred Liability is transferred or assumed, as applicable, (A) the Party retaining such Deferred Asset will thereafter hold such Deferred Asset for the use and benefit of the Party entitled thereto (at the expense of the Party entitled thereto) and (B) the Party intended to assume such Deferred Liability will pay or reimburse the Party retaining such Deferred Liability for all amounts paid or incurred in connection with the retention of such Deferred Liability; it being agreed that the Party retaining such Deferred Asset or Deferred Liability will not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing clause (A) and clause (B), to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced or agreed in writing to be reimbursed by the Party entitled to such Deferred Asset or intended to assume such Deferred Liability. The Party retaining the Deferred Asset or Deferred Liability will use its commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Party entitled to or intended to assume such Deferred Asset or Deferred Liability of the need for such expenditure. In addition, the Party retaining such Deferred Asset or Deferred Liability will, insofar as reasonably practicable and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (A) treat such Deferred Asset or Deferred Liability in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, (B) promptly take such other actions as may be requested by the Party entitled to such Deferred Asset or by the Party intended to assume such Deferred Liability in order to place such Party in the same position as if the Deferred Asset or Deferred Liability had been transferred or assumed, as applicable, as contemplated hereby, and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Deferred Asset or Deferred Liability, including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and control over such Deferred Asset or Deferred Liability, are to inure from and after the Effective Time to such Party entitled to such Deferred Asset or intended to assume such Deferred Liability and (C) hold itself out to third parties as agent or nominee on behalf of the Party entitled to such Deferred Asset or intended to assume such Deferred Liability.

(iv) In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties agree that, as of the Effective Time, each Party will be deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership of all of the Assets, together with all rights and privileges incident thereto, and will be deemed to have assumed all of the Liabilities, and all duties, obligations and responsibilities incident thereto, that such Party is entitled to acquire or intended to assume pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the applicable Ancillary Agreement, if any.

(v) The Parties agree to treat, for all tax purposes, any Asset or Liability that is not transferred or assumed prior to the Effective Time and which is subject to the provisions of this Section 2.2(b), as (A) owned by the Party to which such Asset was intended to be transferred or by the Party which was intended to assume such Liability, as the case may be, from and after the Effective Time, (B) having not been owned by the Party retaining such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, at any time from and after the Effective Time, and (C) having been held by the Party retaining such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, only as agent or nominee on behalf of the other Party from and after the Effective Time until the date such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, is transferred to or assumed by such other Party. The Parties will not take any position inconsistent with the foregoing unless otherwise required by

applicable Law (in which case, the Parties will provide indemnification for any Taxes attributable to the Asset or Liability during the period beginning on the Distribution Date and ending on the date of the actual transfer).

(i) Except as provided in Section 7.7, in the event that, at any time from and after the Effective Time, either Party discovers that it or another member of its Group is the owner of, receives or otherwise comes to possess or benefit from any Asset (including the receipt of payments made pursuant to Contracts and proceeds from accounts receivable with respect to such Asset) that should have been allocated to a member of the other Group pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (except in the case of any deliberate acquisition of Assets from a member of the other Group for value subsequent to the Effective Time), such Party shall promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, such Asset to such member of the other Group, and such member of the other Group shall accept such Asset for no further consideration than that set forth in this Agreement and such Ancillary Agreement. Prior to any such transfer, such Asset shall be held in accordance with Section 2.2(b).

(ii) In the event that, at any time from and after the Effective Time, either Party discovers that it or another member of its Group is liable for any Liability that should have been allocated to a member of the other Group pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (except in the case of any deliberate assumption of Liabilities from a member of the other Group for value subsequent to the Effective Time), such Party shall promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, such Liability to such member of the other Group and such member of the other Group shall assume such Liability for no further consideration than that set forth in this Agreement and such Ancillary Agreement. Prior to any such assumption, such Liabilities shall be held in accordance with Section 2.2(b).

(d) Instruments of Transfer and Assumption. The Parties agree that (i) transfers of Assets that may be required by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall be effected by delivery by the transferor to the transferee of (A) with respect to those Assets that constitute stock or other equity interests, certificates endorsed in blank or evidenced or accompanied by stock powers or other instruments of transfer endorsed in blank, against receipt and (B) with respect to all other Assets, such good and sufficient instruments of contribution, conveyance, assignment and transfer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Parties, as shall be necessary, in each case, to vest in the designated transferee all of the title and ownership interest of the transferor in and to any such Asset, and (ii) the assumptions of Liabilities required by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall be effected by delivery by the transferee to the transferor of such good and sufficient instruments of assumption, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Parties, as shall be necessary, in each case, for the assumption by the transferee of such Liabilities.

No such terminated Intercompany Agreement will be of any further force or effect from and after the Effective Time and all Parties shall be

released from all Liabilities thereunder other than the Liability to settle any Intercompany Accounts as provided in Section 2.4. Each Party shall take, or cause to be taken, any and all actions as may be reasonably necessary to effect the foregoing.

(b) The provisions of Section 2.3(a) shall not apply to any of the following agreements (which agreements shall continue to be outstanding after the Distribution Date and thereafter shall be deemed to be, for each relevant Party (or the member of such Party’s Group), an obligation to a third party and shall no longer be an Intercompany Agreement):

(i) this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (and each other agreement or instrument expressly contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement), if any; and

(ii) the agreements listed or described on Schedule 2.3(b).

Section 2.4 Settlement of Intercompany Accounts. Each Intercompany Account outstanding immediately prior to the Distribution Date (other than those set forth on Schedule 2.4, if any), will be satisfied and/or settled in full in cash or otherwise cancelled and terminated or extinguished by the relevant members of the InvenTrust Group and the Highlands Group prior to the Effective Time, in each case, in the manner agreed to by the Parties. Each Intercompany Account outstanding immediately prior to the Distribution Date set forth on Schedule 2.4 shall continue to be outstanding after the Distribution Date (unless previously satisfied in accordance with its terms) and thereafter shall be deemed to be, for each Party (or the relevant member of such Party’s Group), an obligation to a third party and shall no longer be an Intercompany Account.

Section 2.5 Treatment of Shared Contracts. Subject to applicable Law and except as otherwise provided in any Ancillary Agreement, and without limiting the generality of the obligations set forth in Section 2.1 and Section 2.2, unless the Parties otherwise agree or the benefits of any Contract described in this Section 2.5 are expressly conveyed to the applicable Party pursuant to this Agreement or an Ancillary Agreement, any Contract entered into by a member of the InvenTrust Group with a third party that is not a Highlands Asset, but pursuant to which a member of the Highlands Group or the Highlands Assets, as of the Effective Time, have been provided certain revenues or other benefits (any such contract or agreement, a “Shared Contract”) shall not be assigned in relevant part to the applicable member(s) of the Highlands Group or amended to give the relevant member(s) of the Highlands Group any entitlement to such rights and benefits thereunder; provided, however, that the Parties shall, and shall cause each of the members of their respective Groups to, take such other reasonable and permissible actions to cause (i) the relevant member of the Highlands Group to receive the rights and benefits previously provided in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice, to the Highlands Assets pursuant to such Shared Contract and (ii) the relevant member of the Highlands Group to bear the burden of the corresponding Liabilities under such Shared Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no member of the InvenTrust Group shall be required by this Section 2.5 to maintain in effect any Shared Contract, and no member of the Highlands Group shall have any approval or other rights with respect to any amendment, termination or other modification of any Shared Contract.

Section 2.6 Capital Contribution. At or prior to the Effective Time, InvenTrust shall make a cash contribution to Highlands in an amount sufficient to cause Highlands to have, at the time of the Distribution, not less than $20 million in unrestricted cash (the “Capital Contribution”).

CERTAIN COVENANTS AND ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

Section 7.1 Insurance Matters.

(a) Highlands is insured under certain Insurance Policies issued to InvenTrust prior to the Effective Time (the “InvenTrust Available Policies”), including the policies for 2014-2015 set forth on Schedule 7.1(a), with respect to occurrences, wrongful acts, and other matters occurring prior to the Effective Time (“Pre-Closing Matters”). From and after the Effective Time, Highlands will be entitled to maintain its status as an insured under the InvenTrust Available Policies, including the right to make new claims for coverage under the InvenTrust Available Policies after the Effective Time (“New Claims”), but in all events, solely with respect to Pre-Closing Matters, and provided that all such rights under the InvenTrust Available Policies shall be subject to the terms and conditions of such Insurance Policies, including any limits on coverage or scope, any deductibles and other fees and expenses, and shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(i) Highlands shall provide notice to InvenTrust of any New Claims as promptly as practicable, and in any event in sufficient time so that such claim may be made in accordance with InvenTrust’s claim reporting procedures in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, so long as such procedures are in compliance with the underlying applicable insurance policy (or in accordance with any modifications to such procedures after the Effective Time communicated by InvenTrust to Highlands in writing, so long as such modifications are in compliance with the underlying applicable insurance policy);

(ii) Except in the event that both (i) Highlands has submitted a New Claim to InvenTrust in accordance with Section 7.1.(a)(i) and (ii) InvenTrust fails to provide adequate and timely notice to the applicable insurance carrier or its agent with respect to such New Claim and to the extent that such failure results in a denial of coverage by the insurance carrier, Highlands and the members of the Highlands Group shall exclusively bear and be liable for (and neither InvenTrust nor any members of the InvenTrust Group shall have any obligation to repay or reimburse Highlands or any member of the Highlands Group for), and shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse InvenTrust and the members of the InvenTrust Group for, any deductibles, self-insured retention, and out-of-pocket fees and expenses to the extent resulting

from any access to, or any claims made by Highlands or any other members of the Highlands Group or otherwise made in respect of Losses of the Highlands Assets under, any insurance provided pursuant to this Section 7.1(a); and

(iii) Except in the event that both (i) Highlands has submitted a New Claim to InvenTrust in accordance with Section 7.1.(a)(i) and (ii) InvenTrust fails to provide adequate and timely notice to the applicable insurance carrier or its agent with respect to such New Claim and to the extent that such failure results in a denial of coverage by the insurance carrier, Highlands shall exclusively bear and be liable for (and neither InvenTrust nor any members of the InvenTrust Group shall have any obligation to repay or reimburse Highlands or any member of the Highlands Group for) all uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts of all such claims made by Highlands or any member of the Highlands Group under the InvenTrust Available Policies as provided for in this Section 7.1(a).

(b) [Reserved].

(c) All payments and reimbursements by Highlands pursuant to Section 7.1(a) will be made within fifteen (15) days after Highlands’ receipt of an invoice therefor from InvenTrust.

(d) InvenTrust shall have the right to administer any New Claims on behalf of Highlands. To the extent that Highlands has provided notice to InvenTrust of any New Claim in accordance with Section 7.1(a)(i), InvenTrust agrees to submit any such New Claim to the applicable insurance carrier or its agent in a timely and appropriate manner. Highlands will cooperate with InvenTrust with respect to the submission of claims for Pre-Closing Matters under the InvenTrust Available Policies. If InvenTrust has elected to administer any New Claim on behalf of Highlands, InvenTrust will use the same degree of effort in advocating for coverage under the applicable insurance policy with respect to such New Claim as InvenTrust would use in advocating for its own claims but in no event less than a reasonable degree of effort, and will provide Highlands with reasonable assistance to enforce its rights under the InvenTrust Available Policies, provided that Highlands agrees to indemnify and hold harmless InvenTrust for any out-of-pocket costs InvenTrust incurs in connection with such cooperation and assistance, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

(e) InvenTrust shall retain the exclusive right to control its Insurance Policies and programs, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy-back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its Insurance Policies and programs and to amend, modify or waive any rights under any such Insurance Policies and programs, notwithstanding whether any such policies or programs apply to any Highlands Liabilities and/or claims Highlands has made or could make in the future, and no member of the Highlands Group shall erode, exhaust, settle, release, commute, buyback, modify, amend or waive or otherwise compromise the limits or rights of InvenTrust under the InvenTrust Available Policies in any respect. Highlands shall cooperate with InvenTrust and share such information as is reasonably necessary in order to permit InvenTrust to manage and conduct its insurance matters as it deems appropriate. Neither InvenTrust nor any of the members of the InvenTrust Group shall have any obligation to secure extended reporting for any claims under any Insurance Policies of InvenTrust or any member of the InvenTrust Group for any acts or omissions by any member of the Highlands Group incurred prior to the Effective Time.

(f) This Agreement shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance or as a contract of insurance and shall not be construed to waive any right or remedy of any member of the InvenTrust Group in respect of any Insurance Policy or any other contract or policy of insurance.

(g) Highlands does hereby, for itself and each other member of the Highlands Group, agree that no member of the InvenTrust Group shall have any Liability whatsoever as a result of the Insurance Policies and practices of InvenTrust and the members of the InvenTrust Group as in effect at any time, including as a result of the level or scope of any such insurance, the creditworthiness of any insurance carrier, the terms and conditions of any policy or otherwise; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation of Liability shall not apply in the event InvenTrust fails to provide adequate and timely notice to any insurance carrier or its agent with respect to any New Claim due to no fault of Highlands and only to the extent that such failure results in a denial of coverage by the insurance carrier.

(h) Highlands acknowledges and agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of each other member of the Highlands Group, that, from and after the Effective Time, neither Highlands nor any member of the Highlands Group shall have any rights to or under any of InvenTrust’s or its Affiliates’ Insurance Policies, other than the InvenTrust Available Policies as expressly provided in this Article VII, in the Employee Matters Agreement or pursuant to the policy contemplated by Section 7.1(j).

(i) At the Effective Time, Highlands shall have in effect all insurance programs required to comply with Highlands’ contractual obligations and such other Insurance Policies as reasonably necessary or customary for companies operating a business similar to Highlands’. Such insurance programs including commercial general liability, property and business interruptions, commercial automobile liability, directors and officers liability (including with respect to periods prior to the Distribution), EPL/fiduciary liability, workers compensation, employee dishonesty and fiduciary liability policies, whether, in each case, in the nature of primary, excess, umbrella or self-insurance coverage.

(j) Prior to the effective time, the Parties may elect to obtain insurance covering both Parties and their Affiliates or other related persons in connection with the Transactions. To the extent such insurance is acquired and one Party has paid the premium for such policy prior to the Effective Time, within thirty (30) days following the Effective Time, the other Party shall reimburse such Party for one-half of the amount of such premium. For the avoidance of doubt, any policy obtained pursuant to this Section 7.1(j) shall not be deemed to be an InvenTrust Available Policy.

Section 7.2 Tax Matters.

(a) Taxability of Distribution. The Parties acknowledge that the Distribution is a taxable distribution under Section 301 of the Code, and the Parties shall not take any position on any U.S. federal, state, local or foreign Tax Return that is inconsistent with such treatment.

(i) InvenTrust has no knowledge of any fact or circumstance that would cause Highlands to fail to qualify as a REIT, including a failure to qualify as a REIT due to InvenTrust’s failure to maintain REIT status.

(ii) Subject to Section 7.2(b)(iii) and Section 7.2(b)(iv), InvenTrust shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Highlands as necessary to enable Highlands to qualify for taxation as a REIT and receive customary legal opinions concerning Highlands’ qualification and taxation as a REIT, including by providing information and representations to Highlands and its tax counsel with respect to the composition of InvenTrust’s income and Assets, the composition of the holders of stock of InvenTrust and InvenTrust’s organization, operation, and qualification as a REIT for its taxable years ending on or before December 31, 2016.

(iii) InvenTrust shall use reasonable best efforts to maintain its REIT status for each of its taxable years ending on or before December 31, 2016, unless InvenTrust obtains an opinion from a nationally recognized tax counsel or a private letter ruling from the IRS, on which Highlands can rely, substantially to the effect that InvenTrust’s failure to maintain its REIT status will not prevent Highlands from making a valid REIT election for any taxable year, or otherwise cause Highlands to fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT for any taxable year, pursuant to Section 856(g)(3) of the Code.

(iv) Highlands shall use its reasonable best efforts to qualify for taxation as a REIT for its taxable year ending December 31, 2016.

(v) Highlands shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with InvenTrust as necessary to enable InvenTrust to qualify for taxation as a REIT and receive customary legal opinions concerning Highlands’ qualification and taxation as a REIT, including by providing information and representations to InvenTrust and its tax counsel with respect to the composition of Highlands’ income and Assets, the composition of the holders of stock of Highlands and Highlands’ organization, operation, and qualification as a REIT for its taxable year ending December 31, 2016.

(i) Except as provided in Section 7.2(c)(ii), Highlands shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the InvenTrust Group against, any and all Taxes due with respect to (a) Highlands, the Highlands Subsidiaries and the Highlands Assets and (b) any and all Taxes attributable to the Separation and Distribution (other than Taxes incurred by InvenTrust under Section 311(b) of the Code as a result of the Distribution), regardless of whether such Taxes are required to be reported on a Tax Return of Highlands or the Highlands Subsidiaries.

(ii) InvenTrust shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Highlands Group against, any and all Taxes due with respect to Highlands, the Highlands Subsidiaries and the Highlands Assets that are attributable to the failure of InvenTrust or MB REIT to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year ending on or before December 31, 2016.

(d) Tax Returns.

(i) Except as set forth on Schedule 7.2(d), Highlands shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Tax Returns of any of Highlands, the Highlands Subsidiaries and the Highlands Assets, as applicable, for all Tax periods.

In the case of such Tax Returns for all periods ending on or prior to or including the Distribution Date that are required to be filed after the Distribution Date (other than as set forth on Schedule 7.2(d)), Highlands shall submit those Tax Returns to InvenTrust for its review thirty days prior to filing and shall consider in good faith any changes InvenTrust proposes with respect to such Tax Returns. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner that is consistent with the past custom and practice of InvenTrust, Highlands and Highlands Subsidiaries and the Highlands Assets, as applicable, except as required by a change in applicable Law.

(ii) InvenTrust shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Tax Returns of the InvenTrust Group that report Taxes related to the Highlands Assets (and as set forth on Schedule 7.2(d)). Other than any federal or state income Tax Returns of InvenTrust, InvenTrust shall submit those Tax Returns to Highlands for its review thirty days prior to filing and shall consider in good faith any changes Highlands proposes with respect to such Tax Returns. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner that is consistent with the past custom and practice of InvenTrust, Highlands, the Highlands Subsidiaries and the Highlands Assets, as applicable, except as required by a change in applicable Law.

(iii) In the case either Highlands or InvenTrust is responsible for payment of any Taxes under Section 7.2 that are reported and paid on a Tax Return paid by the other Party, then the Party that is liable for the Taxes shall pay to the other Party, within fifteen business days before the date on which Taxes are to be paid, an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes for which the Party is liable.

(e) Cooperation. The Parties agree (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to Highlands, the Highlands Subsidiaries and the Highlands Assets and their respective assets or business relating to any taxable period beginning before the Distribution Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by any member of the Highlands Group, any extensions thereof) of the respective Tax periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (ii) to give Highlands reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if Highlands so requests, InvenTrust shall allow Highlands to take possession of such books and records at Highlands’ expense.

(f) Tax Contests. Unless otherwise provided in this Section 7.2(f), Highlands shall control any audit, examination or proceeding (“Tax Contest”) relating in whole or in part to Taxes of Highlands, the Highlands Subsidiaries and the Highlands Assets.

(i) With respect to any Tax Contest for which InvenTrust acknowledges in writing that any member of the InvenTrust Group is liable under this Agreement for any and all Losses relating thereto, the InvenTrust Group shall be entitled to control, in good faith, all proceedings taken in connection with such Tax Contest; provided, however, that (x) InvenTrust shall promptly notify Highlands in writing of its intention to control such Tax Contest, and (y) if any Tax Contest could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on any member of the Highlands Group, the Tax Contest shall not be settled or resolved without Highlands’ consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Accordingly, each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that nothing set forth in this Agreement shall be construed to create any explicit or implied restriction or other limitation on the ability of any Group to engage in any business or other activity that overlaps or competes with the business of the other Group. Except as expressly provided herein, or in the Ancillary Agreements, each Group shall have the right to, and shall have no duty to abstain from exercising such right to, (i) engage or invest, directly or indirectly, in the same, similar or related business activities or lines of business as the other Group, (ii) make investments in the same or similar types of investments as the other Group, (iii) do business with any client, customer, vendor or lessor of any of the other Group or (iv) subject to Section 7.3(d), employ or otherwise engage any officer, director or employee of the other Group.

(b) Except as expressly provided herein, or in the Ancillary Agreements, and except as InvenTrust and each other member of the InvenTrust Group, on the one hand, and Highlands and each other member of the Highlands Group, on the other hand, may otherwise agree in writing, the Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that if any Person that is a member of a Group, including any officer or director thereof, acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate opportunity for either or both Groups, the other Group shall not have an interest in, or expectation that, such opportunity be offered to it or that it be offered an opportunity to participate therein, and any such interest, expectation, offer or opportunity to participate, and any other interest or expectation otherwise due to such Group with respect to such opportunity, is hereby renounced by such Group. Accordingly, subject to Section 7.3(c) and except as expressly provided herein, or in the Ancillary Agreements, (i) neither Group nor any officer or director thereof will be under any obligation to present, communicate or offer any such opportunity to the other Group and (ii) each Group has the right to hold any such opportunity for its own account, or to direct, recommend, sell, assign or otherwise transfer such opportunity to any Person or Persons other than the other Group, and, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, neither Group nor the officers or directors thereof shall have or be under any duty to the other Group and shall not be liable to the other Group for any breach or alleged breach thereof or for any derivation of

personal economic gain by reason of the fact that such Group or any of its officers or directors pursues or acquires the opportunity for itself, or directs, recommends, sells, assigns or otherwise transfers the opportunity to another Person, or such Group and its officers or directors does not present, offer or communicate information regarding the opportunity to the other Group.

(c) For the purposes of this Section 7.3, “corporate opportunities” of a Group shall include business opportunities that such Group is financially able to undertake, that are, by their nature, in a line of business of such Group, are of practical advantage to it and are ones in which any member of the Group has an interest or a reasonable expectancy, and in which, by embracing the opportunities, the self-interest of a Person or any of its officers or directors will be brought into conflict with that of such Group.

In the event that such appropriate protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Party that is required to disclose Confidential Information about a member of the Group shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that confidential treatment is accorded such information.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Parties shall be deemed to have satisfied their obligations hereunder with respect to Confidential Information of any member of the other Group if they exercise the same degree of care (but no less than a reasonable degree of care) as they exercise to preserve confidentiality for their own similar Confidential Information.

Section 8.9 Privileged Matters.

(a) Pre-Distribution Services. The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services that have been and will be provided prior to the Effective Time have been and will be rendered for the collective benefit of the Parties and their Affiliates, and that each of the Parties should be deemed to be the client with respect to such pre-Distribution services for the purposes of asserting all privileges that may be asserted under applicable Law.

(b) Post-Distribution Services. The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services will be provided following the Effective Time that will be rendered solely for the benefit of Highlands and its Affiliates or InvenTrust and its Affiliates, as the case may be. With respect to such post-Distribution services, the Parties agree as follows:

(i) InvenTrust shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information that relates solely to the InvenTrust Assets, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of InvenTrust or Highlands and regardless of when such privileged information was generated. InvenTrust shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information that relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting InvenTrust Liabilities, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any lawsuits or other proceedings initiated by or against any member of the InvenTrust Group, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of InvenTrust or Highlands; and

(ii) Highlands shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information that relates solely to the Highlands Assets, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of InvenTrust or Highlands and regardless of when such privileged information was generated. Highlands shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information that relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting Highlands Liabilities, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any lawsuits or other proceedings initiated by or against any member of the Highlands Group, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of InvenTrust or Highlands.

(c) The Parties agree that they shall have a shared privilege, with equal right to assert or waive, subject to the restrictions in this Section 8.9, with respect to all privileges not allocated pursuant to the terms of Section 8.9(b). Highlands may not waive, and shall cause each other member of the Highlands Group not to waive, any privilege that could be asserted by a member of the InvenTrust Group under any applicable Law, and in which a member of the InvenTrust Group has a shared privilege, without the consent of InvenTrust, which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion. InvenTrust may not waive, and shall cause each other member of the InvenTrust Group not to waive, any privilege that could be asserted by a member of the Highlands Group under any applicable Law, and in which a member of the Highlands Group has a shared privilege, without the consent of Highlands, which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion.

(d) In the event of any litigation or dispute between or among Highlands and InvenTrust, or any members of their respective Groups, the Parties may waive a privilege in which a member of the other Group has a shared privilege, without obtaining the consent

from any other Party; provided, that such waiver of a shared privilege shall be effective only as to the use of information with respect to the litigation or dispute between the relevant Parties and/or the applicable members of their respective Groups, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared privilege with respect to third parties. All filings containing such information shall be filed under seal, and the Parties shall cooperate in preventing such information from being disclosed outside of the litigation or dispute, including moving for the entry of a confidentiality or protective order covering such information.

(e) The access to information being granted pursuant to Section 8.1, the agreement to provide witnesses and individuals pursuant to Section 8.7, the agreement to provide litigation support provided in Section 8.11 and the transfer of privileged information between and among the Parties and the members of their respective Groups pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement, any of the Ancillary Agreements or otherwise.

Section 8.10 Financial Information Certifications. The Parties agree to cooperate with each other in such manner as is necessary to enable the principal executive officer or officers, principal financial officer or officers and controller or controllers of each of the Parties to make the certifications required of them under Sections 302, 404 and 906 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002.

Section 8.11 Cooperation and Litigation Support. Without limiting the generality of, and subject to the limitations set forth in, the other provisions of this Article VIII, in the event and for so long as any member of a Group is contesting or defending against or participating in any Action in connection with (i) any of the Transactions or (ii) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, payment, action, failure to act, or transaction, occurring prior to the Effective Time, involving any member of a Group, each of the other Parties shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the directors, officers, employees, agents and other Affiliates of any member of such Party’s Group to, cooperate with the Party or member of such Party’s Group that is involved in the Action.

Section 8.12 Tax Contests. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent there is any conflict between the provisions of this Article VIII and the provisions of Section 7.2(f), the provisions of Section 7.2(f) shall control with respect to Tax Contests.

(b) If a claim or demand is made against an Indemnitee by any Person who is not a Party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a Party (a “Third-Party Claim”) as to which such Indemnitee is or reasonably expects to be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall provide written notice to the Indemnifying Party promptly, (and in any event within thirty (30) days) after receipt by such Indemnitee of written notice of the Third-Party Claim, which notice shall include reasonable detail and, at a minimum, a copy of the Third Party Claim and a reference to the provisions of this Agreement or the applicable Ancillary Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed by such Indemnitee; provided, however, that the failure to provide notice of any such Third-Party Claim pursuant to this sentence shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure (except that the Indemnifying Party or Parties shall not be liable for any expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in defending such Third-Party Claim during the period in which the Indemnitee failed to give such notice). Thereafter, the Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) days) after the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third-Party Claim.

(c) Subject to Sections 9.4(d) and 9.4(e), an Indemnifying Party shall be entitled (but shall not be required) to assume, control the defense of, and settle any Third-Party Claim, at such Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel if it gives written notice of its intention to do so (including a statement that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Article IX) to the applicable Indemnitees within thirty (30) days of the receipt of notice from such Indemnitees of the Third-Party Claim (failure of the Indemnifying Party to respond within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed to be an election by the Indemnifying Party not to assume, control the defense of, or have the right to settle such Third-Party Claim). After a notice from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnitee of its election to assume and control the defense of a Third-Party Claim, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense at its own expense and, in any event, shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses and information in such Indemnitee’s possession or under such Indemnitee’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that such access shall not require the Indemnitee to disclose any information the disclosure of which would, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnitee, result in the loss of any existing privilege with respect to such information or violate any applicable Law.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.4, in the event that (i) an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, (ii) there exists a conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee, (iii) any Third-Party Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the Indemnitee, (iv) the Indemnitee’s exposure to Liability in connection with such Third-Party Claim is reasonably expected to exceed the Indemnifying Party’s exposure in respect of such Third-Party Claim taking into account the indemnification obligations hereunder, (v) an Indemnifying Party’s stockholders’ equity, as reported on any annual audited balance sheet or unaudited quarterly balance sheet after the Effective Time is less than $100 million; (vi) the Indemnitee is a current or former individual director or officer of InvenTrust or Highlands or (vii) the Person making such Third-Party Claim is a Governmental Authority with regulatory authority over the Indemnitee or any of its material Assets, then the Indemnitee shall be entitled to assume, control the defense of, and subject to Section 9.4(e), settle such Third-Party Claim, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, with counsel of such Indemnitee’s choosing. If the Indemnitee is conducting the defense against any such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitee in such defense and make available to the Indemnitee all witnesses and information in such Indemnifying Party’s possession or under such Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnitee; provided, however, that such access shall not require the Indemnifying Party to disclose any information the disclosure of which would, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnifying Party, result in the loss of any existing privilege with respect to such information or violate any applicable Law.

(e) In the case of any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification by an Indemnifying Party, the Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party that is controlling the defense shall have the right to consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise of the Third-Party Claim, subject to the consent of the Indemnifying Party

(where the Indemnitee is controlling the defense) or Indemnitee (where the Indemnifying Party is controlling the defense), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(f) [Reserved]

(g) Absent fraud or intentional misconduct by an Indemnifying Party, the indemnification provisions of this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of an Indemnitee for any monetary or compensatory damages or Losses resulting from any breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and each Indemnitee expressly waives and relinquishes any and all rights, claims or remedies such Person may have with respect to the foregoing other than under this Article IX against any Indemnifying Party.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the amount of any indemnification payments due under this Agreement to a Protected REIT shall not exceed an amount equal to the maximum amount that can be paid to the Indemnitee in such year without causing the Protected REIT to fail to meet the REIT Requirements for any tax year, determined as if such indemnification payment was Nonqualifying Income as determined by the REIT tax counsel or independent accountants to the Protected REIT. If the amount payable for any tax year under the preceding sentence is less than the amount that the relevant Indemnifying Party would otherwise be obligated to pay to the relevant Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement (the “Expense Amount”), then: (1) the Indemnifying Party shall place the Expense Amount into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) using an escrow agent and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee and shall not release any portion thereof to the Indemnitee, and (2) the Indemnitee shall not be entitled to any such amount, unless and until the Indemnitee delivers to the Indemnifying Party, at the sole option of the relevant Protected REIT, (i) an opinion of the Protected REIT’s REIT tax counsel to the effect that such amount, if and to the extent paid, would not constitute Nonqualifying Income, (ii) a letter from the Protected REIT’s independent accountants indicating the maximum amount that can be paid at that time to the Indemnitee without causing the Protected REIT to fail to meet the REIT Requirements for any relevant taxable year (in which case, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive from the Escrow Account an amount not in excess of such maximum amount), or (iii) a private letter ruling issued by the IRS to the Protected REIT indicating that the receipt of any Expense Amount hereunder will not cause the Protected REIT to fail to satisfy the REIT Requirements.

(i) For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent there is any conflict between the provisions of this Section 9.4 and the provisions of Section 7.2(f), the provisions of Section 7.2(f) shall control with respect to Tax Contests.

Section 9.5 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds. The Parties intend that any Loss subject to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Article IX (an “Indemnifiable Loss”) will be net of Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of the Loss. Accordingly, the amount which an Indemnifying Party is required to pay to any Indemnitee will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in reduction of the related Loss. If an Indemnitee receives a payment (an “Indemnity Payment”) required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Loss and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds, the Indemnitee will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payments received over the amount of the Indemnity Payments that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds recovery had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payments were made.

The Indemnitee shall use and cause its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to recover any Insurance Proceeds to which the Indemnitee is entitled with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss. The existence of a claim by an Indemnitee for insurance or against a third party in respect of any Indemnifiable Loss shall not, however, delay any payment pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained in this Article IX and otherwise determined to be due and owing by an Indemnifying Party; rather, the Indemnifying Party shall make payment in full of such amount so determined to be due and owing by it against a concurrent written assignment by the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party of the portion of the claim of the Indemnitee for such insurance or against such third party equal to the amount of such payment. The Indemnitee shall use and cause its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Indemnifying Party in recovering or to recover on behalf of the Indemnifying Party, any Insurance Proceeds to which the Indemnifying Party is entitled with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss as a result of such assignment. The Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnifying Party and its counsel all employees, books and records, communications, documents, items or matters within its knowledge, possession or control that are necessary, appropriate or reasonably deemed relevant by the Indemnifying Party with respect to the recovery of such Insurance Proceeds; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall be deemed to require a Party to make available books and records, communications, documents or items which (i) in such Party’s good faith judgment could result in a waiver of any privilege even if the Parties cooperated to protect such privilege as contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) such Party is not permitted to make available because of any Law or any confidentiality obligation to a third party, in which case such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek a waiver of or other relief from such confidentiality restriction. Unless the Indemnifying Party has made payment in full of any Indemnifiable Loss, such Indemnifying Party shall use and cause its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to recover any Insurance Proceeds to which it or such Affiliate is entitled with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss.

Section 9.6 Indemnification Obligations Net of Taxes . The Parties intend that any Indemnifiable Loss will be net of Taxes. Accordingly, the amount which an Indemnifying Party is required to pay to an Indemnitee will be adjusted to reflect any tax benefit to the Indemnitee from the underlying Loss and to reflect any Taxes imposed upon the Indemnitee (or its shareholders, if the Indemnitee is a REIT) as a result of the receipt of such payment. Such an adjustment will first be made at the time that the Indemnity Payment is made and will further be made, as appropriate, to take into account any change in the liability of the Indemnitee (or its shareholders, if the Indemnitee is a REIT) for Taxes that occurs in connection with the final resolution of an audit by a Taxing Authority.

Section 9.7 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article IX is unavailable to an Indemnitee in respect of any Indemnifiable Loss, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnitee, shall contribute to the Losses paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such Indemnifiable Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of Highlands and each other member of the Highlands Group, on the one hand, and InvenTrust and each other member of the InvenTrust Group, on the other hand, in connection with the circumstances which resulted in such Indemnifiable Loss.

Section 9.8 Remedies Cumulative . The remedies provided in this Article IX shall be cumulative and, subject to the provisions of Article X, shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party.

Section 9.9 Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of each of the Parties and their respective Indemnitees under this Article IX shall survive the Distribution Date indefinitely, unless a specific survival or other applicable period is expressly set forth herein, and shall survive the sale or other transfer by any Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities.

Section 9.10 Timing of Payments. Indemnification or contribution payments in respect of any Liabilities for which an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article IX shall be paid reasonably promptly (but in any event within thirty (30) days of the final determination of the amount that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article IX) by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee as such Liabilities are incurred upon demand by the Indemnitee, including reasonably satisfactory documentation setting forth the basis for the amount of such indemnification or contribution payment, including documentation with respect to calculations made and consideration of any Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of such Liabilities. The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Article IX shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee, and (ii) the knowledge by the Indemnitee of Liabilities for which it might be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

Section 9.11 Pursuit of Claims Against Third Parties. If (i) an Indemnifying Party incurs any Liability arising out of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; (ii) an adequate legal or equitable remedy is not available for any reason in favor of the Indemnifying Party against the third party to satisfy the Liability incurred by the Indemnifying Party; and (iii) a legal or equitable remedy may be available to the Indemnitee against the third party for such Liability, then the Indemnitee shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, to permit the Indemnifying Party to obtain the benefits of such legal or equitable remedy against the third party.

Section 9.12 Subrogation. In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third-Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third-Party Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

Section 9.13 Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, REMOTE OR SPECULATIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING IN RESPECT OF LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Section 9.14 Attorney Representation. InvenTrust, on behalf of itself and the other members of the InvenTrust Group, hereby waives any conflict of interest with respect to any attorney who is or becomes an employee of Highlands resulting from such person being an employee of InvenTrust or any of its Subsidiaries (including members of the Highlands Group) at any time prior to the Distribution and agrees to allow such attorney to represent members of the Highlands Group in any transaction or dispute with respect to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Transactions and transactions between the Parties which commence following the Distribution Date. Highlands, on behalf of itself and the other members of the Highlands Group, hereby waives any conflict of interest with respect to any attorney who is or becomes an employee of InvenTrust resulting from such person being an employee of Highlands or any of its Subsidiaries (including any member of the InvenTrust Group) at any time prior to the Distribution and agrees to allow such attorney to represent members of the InvenTrust Group in any transaction or dispute with respect to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Transactions and transactions between the Parties which commence following the Distribution Date. In furtherance of the foregoing, each member of the InvenTrust Group and each member of the Highlands Group will, upon request, execute and deliver a specific waiver as may be required in connection with a particular transaction or dispute under the applicable rules of professional conduct in order to effectuate the general waiver set forth above.

ARTICLE X.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 10.1 Appointed Representative. Each Party shall appoint a representative who shall be responsible for administering the dispute resolution provisions in Section 10.2 (each, an “Appointed Representative”). Each Appointed Representative shall have the authority to resolve any Agreement Disputes on behalf of the Party appointing such representative.

Section 10.2 Negotiation and Dispute Resolution.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, in the event of a controversy, dispute or claim arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance, nonperformance, validity, termination or breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise arising out of, or in any way related to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (each, an “Agreement Dispute”), the Appointed Representatives shall negotiate in good faith for thirty (30) days to settle any such Agreement Dispute.

(b) Nothing said or disclosed, nor any document produced, in the course of any negotiations, conferences and discussions in connection with efforts to settle an Agreement Dispute that is not otherwise independently discoverable shall be offered or received as evidence or used for impeachment or for any other purpose, but shall be considered as to have been disclosed for settlement purposes.

(c) If a satisfactory resolution of any Agreement Dispute is not achieved by the Appointed Representatives within thirty (30) days, each Party will be entitled to refer the dispute to arbitration in accordance with Section 10.3.

Section 10.3 Arbitration.

(a) Any Agreement Dispute shall be exclusively and finally settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Any Party (a “Requesting Party”) may initiate arbitration by notice to the other affected Party or Parties (a “Recipient Party”) (a “Request for Arbitration”). The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with AAA rules governing commercial arbitration in effect at the time of the arbitration, except as they may be modified by the provisions of this Agreement. The place of the arbitration shall be Chicago, Illinois. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator appointed by the Recipient Party from a list of at least five (5) individuals who are independent and qualified to serve as an arbitrator submitted by the Requesting Party to the Recipient Party within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Request for Arbitration. In the event the Requesting Party fails to send a list of at least five (5) qualified individuals to serve as arbitrator to the Recipient Party within such fifteen-day period, then the Recipient Party shall appoint such arbitrator within twenty-five (25) days from the Request for Arbitration. In the event the Recipient Party fails to appoint a person to serve as arbitrator from the list of at least five (5) qualified individuals within ten (10) days after its receipt of such list from the Requesting Party, the Requesting Party shall appoint one of the individuals from such list to serve as arbitrator within five (5) days after the expiration of such ten (10) day period. Any individual will be qualified to serve as an arbitrator if he or she shall be an individual who has no material business relationship, directly or indirectly, with either of the Parties and who has at least fifteen (15) years of experience in the practice of law with experience in corporate or commercial transactions. The arbitration shall commence within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the arbitrator; the arbitration shall be completed within sixty (60) days of commencement; and the arbitrator’s award shall be made within thirty (30) days following such completion. The Parties may agree to extend the time limits specified in the foregoing sentence. The Parties intend that all Agreement Disputes, including those relating to indemnification obligations with respect to Third-Party Claims, will be determined expeditiously in accordance with the schedule set forth above. In the event that more than one Request for Arbitration is filed with the AAA relating to the same dispute, the arbitrator selected pursuant to the first made Request for Arbitration filed with the AAA shall decide all related demands for arbitration made by any and all Parties.

(b) The arbitrator will apply the substantive law (and the law of remedies, if applicable) of the State of Maryland without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law, and will be without power to apply any different substantive law. The arbitrator will render an award and a written opinion in support thereof. Such award shall include the costs related to the arbitration and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses to the prevailing Party or Parties. The arbitrator also has the authority to grant provisional remedies, including injunctive relief, and to award specific performance. The arbitrator may entertain a motion to dismiss and/or a motion for summary judgment by any Party, applying the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and may rule upon any claim or counterclaim, or any portion thereof (a “Claim”), without holding an evidentiary hearing, if, after affording the Parties an opportunity to present written submissions and documentary evidence, the arbitrator concludes that there is no material issue of fact and that the Claim may be determined as a matter of law. The Parties waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any rights to appeal, or to review of, any arbitrator’s award by any court. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) The Parties agree to maintain confidentiality as to all aspects of the arbitration, except as may be required by applicable law, regulations or court order, or to maintain or satisfy any suitability requirements for any license by any state, federal or other regulatory authority or body, including professional societies and organizations; provided that nothing herein shall prevent a Party from disclosing information regarding the arbitration for purposes of enforcing the award. The Parties further agree to obtain the arbitrator’s agreement to preserve the confidentiality of the arbitration.

Section 10.4 Continuity of Service and Performance. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties will continue to provide service and honor all other commitments under this Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article X with respect to all matters not subject to such dispute, controversy or claim to the extent such Party is obligated to do so pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 10.5 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND ABSOLUTELY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY A PARTY TO COMPEL THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURES PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE X AND THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY AWARDS OR DECISION OBTAINED FROM SUCH ARBITRATION PROCEEDING, AND AGREES TO TAKE ANY AND ALL ACTION NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE TO EFFECT SUCH WAIVER.

ARTICLE XI.

TERMINATION

Section 11.1 Termination. Upon written notice, this Agreement and each of the Ancillary Agreements may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time by and in the sole discretion of InvenTrust without the approval of any other Party.

Section 11.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination pursuant to Section 11.1, neither Party shall have any Liability of any kind to the other Party.

ARTICLE XII.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 12.1 Further Assurances. Subject to the limitations or other provisions of this Agreement, including the right of InvenTrust to terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the Effective Time as set forth Section 11.1, (a) each Party shall, and shall cause the other members of its Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to, and in accordance with applicable Law) to take promptly, or cause to be taken promptly, all actions, and to do promptly, or cause to be done promptly, and to assist and cooperate with the other Party in doing, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the Transactions and to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement, including using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain satisfaction of the conditions precedent in Article V within its reasonable control and to perform all covenants and agreements herein applicable to such Party or any member of its Group and (b) neither Party will, nor will either Party allow any other member of its Group to, without the prior written consent of the other Party, take any action which would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially impede, interfere with or delay any of the Transactions. Without limiting the

generality of the foregoing, where the cooperation of third parties, such as insurers, would be necessary in order for a Party to completely fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such third parties to provide such cooperation.

Section 12.2 Payment of Expenses. Except as provided in Section 7.1(j), InvenTrust shall be responsible for paying all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions whether incurred and payable prior to, on or after the Distribution Date, including legal and accounting advisory fees.

Section 12.3 Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Subject to Section 11.1, this Agreement may not be amended except by an agreement in writing signed by both Parties.

(b) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, or the time for its performance may be extended, by the Party or the Parties entitled to the benefit thereof. Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently given for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any Party, it is executed by a writing signed by an authorized representative of such Party. Waiver by any Party of any default by the other Party of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default, nor shall it in any way affect the validity of this Agreement or prejudice the rights of the other Party, thereafter, to enforce each and every such provision. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that either Party would otherwise have.

Section 12.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Exhibits and Schedules referenced herein and therein and attached hereto or thereto, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all previous agreements, negotiations, discussions, understandings, writings, commitments and conversations between the Parties with respect to such subject matter. No agreements or understandings exist between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof other than those set forth or referred to herein.

Section 12.5 Survival of Agreements. Except as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement, all covenants and agreements of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their applicable terms.

Section 12.6 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except (a) as provided in Article IX relating to Indemnitees and for the release of any Person provided under Section 9.1 and (b) as provided in Section 7.1 relating to insured persons, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their successors and assigns, and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 12.7 Notices. All notices, demands and other communications required to be given to a Party hereunder shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered, sent by a

nationally recognized overnight courier, or mailed by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to such Party at the relevant street address set forth below (or at such other street address as such Party may designate from time to time by written notice in accordance with this provision):

All notices and communications delivered in person shall be deemed to have been delivered to and received by the addressee, and shall be effective, on the date of personal delivery.

Section 12.8 Counterparts; Electronic Delivery. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered or transmitted by facsimile, e-mail or other electronic means, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Execution and delivery of this Agreement or any other documents pursuant to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be deemed to be, and shall have the same legal effect as, execution by an original signature and delivery in person.

Section 12.9 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement or the Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto or thereto is determined by a nonappealable decision by a court, administrative agency or arbitrator to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the court, administrative agency or arbitrator shall interpret this Agreement so as to affect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the Transactions are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible. If any sentence in this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only as broad as is enforceable.

Section 12.10 Assignability; Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that the rights and obligations of each Party under this Agreement shall not be assignable, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, whether by operation of law or

otherwise, by such Party without the prior written consent of the other Party and any attempt to assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement without such consent shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent shall be required for the assignment of a Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement in whole in connection with a change of control of a Party so long as the resulting, surviving or transferee Person assumes all of the obligations of the relevant Party thereto by operation of Law or pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other Party.

Section 12.11 Governing Law; Disputes. This Agreement, and the legal relations between the Parties hereto, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to the conflict of laws rules thereof, to the extent such rules would require the application of the law of another jurisdiction. Except as provided in and subject to Article X, each Party (a) irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind whatsoever against any other Party in any way arising from or relating to an Agreement Dispute, in any forum other than the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, or, if that Court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division, and any appellate court from any thereof, (b) irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and (c) waives and agrees not to assert any defense challenging the personal jurisdiction of such courts, the venue of such courts, or the convenience of such forum.

Section 12.12 Force Majeure. Neither Party (nor any Person acting on its behalf) shall have any liability or responsibility for failure to fulfill any obligation (other than a payment obligation) under this Agreement so long as, and to the extent to which, the fulfillment of such obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure; provided that such Party (or such Person) shall have exercised commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the effect of Force Majeure on its obligations. In the event of an occurrence of a Force Majeure, the Party whose performance is affected thereby shall give notice of suspension as soon as reasonably practicable to the other stating the date and extent of such suspension and the cause thereof, and such Party shall resume the performance of such obligations as soon as reasonably practicable after the removal of such cause. For purposes of this Agreement “Force Majeure” means with respect to a Party, an event beyond the control of such Party (or any Person acting on its behalf), which by its nature could not have been reasonably foreseen by such Party (or such Person), or, if it could have been reasonably foreseen, was unavoidable, and includes acts of God, storms, floods, riots, fires, sabotage, civil commotion or civil unrest, interference by civil or military authorities, acts of war (declared or undeclared) or armed hostilities or other national or international calamity or one or more acts of terrorism or failure of energy sources or distribution facilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the receipt by a Party of an unsolicited takeover offer or other acquisition proposal, even if unforeseen or unavoidable, and such Party’s response thereto shall not be deemed an event of Force Majeure.

Section 12.13 Construction. This Agreement shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the Parties and no rule of construction strict interpretation shall be applied against either Party. The Parties represent that this Agreement is entered into with full consideration of any and all rights which the Parties may have. The Parties have conducted such investigations they thought appropriate, and have consulted with such advisors as they deemed appropriate regarding this Agreement and their rights and asserted rights in connection therewith. The Parties are not relying upon any representations or statements made by the other Party, or

such other Party’s employees, agents, representatives or attorneys, regarding this Agreement, except to the extent such representations are expressly set forth or incorporated in this Agreement.
