The Real Property, together with (i) all governmental permits and approvals related to ownership, operation and development thereof, including, without limitation, any and all such permits and approvals relating to development at the Real Property known as “Pentagon Centre” and located in Arlington, Virginia (“Pentagon Centre”), (ii) contractual rights, including, without limitation, leases, licenses, warranties, guarantees, and development rights, including, without limitation, such development rights at the Pentagon Centre, and all other intangible assets owned by each Owner related thereto, and (iii) all items of tangible personal property which are located thereon and owned by the applicable Owner and used in connection with the operation and maintenance thereof, are collectively referred to as the “Property.”

The Venture in turn, prior to Closing, distributed all of the proceeds of the Kimco Loan to Entity Seller, Purchaser and TRS in accordance with the terms of the Venture Agreement, pro rata in proportion to their 85%, 9.8% and 5.2% interests in the Venture, respectively (the distribution to Entity Seller hereinafter referred to as the “DRA Kimco Loan Distribution”).

Pentagon Development Rights Sale. Immediately prior to Closing, PL Pentagon LLC conveyed to Kimco Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“Kimco Parent”), all right, title and interest in any and all development rights at Pentagon Centre pursuant to that certain Assignment of Development Rights attached hereto as Exhibit L, in consideration of which Kimco Parent paid PL Pentagon LLC the purchase price of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000). In connection with such sale, Kimco Parent received payment in the amount of One Million Two Hundred Ninety-Six Thousand Eight Hundred Thirty-Two Dollars ($1,296,832) in accordance with the terms of paragraph three of that certain letter agreement entitled “Pentagon Office Development Term Sheet” dated October __, 2006, by and between Kimco Parent and the Venture (the purchase price, after such payment to Kimco Parent, referred to as the “Net Pentagon Proceeds”). Prior to Closing, PL Pentagon LLC distributed the Net Pentagon Proceeds to Price Legacy, and Price Legacy in turn, distributed the Net Pentagon Proceeds to the Venture. The Venture in turn, prior to Closing, distributed the Net Pentagon Proceeds to Entity Seller, Purchaser and TRS in accordance with the terms of the Venture Agreement, pro rata in proportion to their 85%, 9.8% and 5.2% interests in the Venture, respectively (the distribution to Entity Seller hereinafter referred to as the “DRA Pentagon Distribution”, and together with the DRA Kimco Loan Distribution, the “DRA Distribution”).

2.1
Calculation of the Purchase Price. In consideration of the covenants herein contained, Entity Seller agrees to sell to Purchaser and Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase from Entity Seller the Seller Interest for a purchase price equal to the sum of (i) 85% of the Net Asset Value of the Venture (as hereinafter defined) as of the Closing Date (as defined below), plus (ii) the DRA Pentagon Distribution. The price to be paid by Purchaser to acquire the Seller Interest, subject to adjustment in accordance with this Agreement, shall be referred to herein as the “Purchase Price.”
For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Gross Asset Value” shall mean the sum of Eight Hundred Five Million Dollars ($805,000,000), and the term “Net Asset Value of the Venture” shall mean the Gross Asset Value as adjusted by the following adjustments calculated as of the Closing Date:

The Entity Seller and Purchaser agree to allocate the Purchase Price to each individual Property as shown on Exhibit D attached hereto.

Entity Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that such allocations were calculated in order to comply with state and/or local requirements regarding transfer taxes and documentary stamps for the indirect transfer of controlling interests in the Owners. Entity Seller and Purchaser further acknowledge that the Purchase Price is based on the sale of retail shopping centers comprising the Property as a package and not based on any values that may have been assigned had the shopping centers comprising the Property been sold in separate and distinct transactions to third party purchasers.
2.2
Payment of the Purchase Price. Entity Seller acknowledges that the Purchase Price has been funded in part by the DRA Distribution prior to Closing.

FURTHER ADJUSTMENTS TO GROSS ASSET VALUE, FEES AND COSTS
6.1
Prorations of Income and Expenses and Adjustments to Gross Asset Value. Income and expenses of the Venture and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including, without limitation, Price Legacy and the Owners, and the Property shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, with (i) the Entity Seller entitled to and responsible for 85% of all income and expenses accrued prior to the Closing Date and Kimco Members entitled to and responsible for 15% of all income and expenses accrued prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) Purchaser together with the Kimco Members entitled to and responsible for 100% of all income and expenses accrued from and after the Closing Date. At the Closing, all items of income and expense listed below (to the extent incurred) with respect to Venture and its direct
4
and indirect subsidiaries, including, without limitation, Price Legacy and the Owners, and the Property, shall be prorated (such prorations referred to herein individually as a “Proration”, and collectively as the “Prorations”) in accordance with the above percentages, and the Gross Asset Value adjusted, in accordance with the foregoing principles and the rules for the specific items set forth hereafter; it being understood that all references to receipt of funds by Owner after Closing shall mean the receipt by Owner, the Kimco Parties, Price Legacy, Venture, or any of their affiliates and/or successors or assigns. The adjustment contemplated by Sections 6.1.2(ii) and (iii), 6.1.3, 6.1.7, 6.1.8 and 6.1.13, to be made at and after Closing with respect to the Property shall also be made with respect to the Westbury Property and any other sales of real property owned by the Venture at one time through its direct or indirect subsidiaries which occurred prior to Closing that have post-Closing proration obligations, to the extent that amounts have been received or become due after Closing for Westbury or such other properties which are attributable to the period prior to Closing. As used herein, the term “Westbury Property” shall mean that certain retail shopping center located in Westbury, New York, which was sold by PL Westbury LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Price Legacy, to a third party on October 29, 2009, pursuant to that certain Contract of Sale dated August 27, 2009, by and between PL Westbury LLC, as seller, and Equity One Acquisition Corp., as buyer (the “Westbury Purchase Agreement”). With respect to the post-closing Prorations for the Westbury Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser agrees that it shall not settle such Prorations with the purchaser under the Westbury Purchase Agreement without the consent of Entity Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Entity Seller shall have no responsibility for an expense accrued prior to the Closing Date to the extent the expense accrued as a result of a Kimco Party’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of any property management agreement or the Venture Agreement and which a DRA Party did not have knowledge of or otherwise consent to prior to the Closing Date, and Purchaser shall have no responsibility for an expense accrued prior to the Closing Date to the extent the expense accrued as a result of gross negligence, willful misconduct, or any action in violation of the Venture Agreement by Entity Seller, Original DRA Member, DRA or any affiliate thereof (individually, a “DRA Party”, and collectively, the “DRA Parties”) prior to Closing that is binding on Purchaser post-Closing and which a Kimco Party did not have knowledge of or otherwise consent to prior to the Closing Date.
6.1.2
Lease Rentals and Other Revenues.
(i)
Rents. At Closing, the Gross Asset Value shall be reduced by any rents and other tenant payments and tenant reimbursements (other than “percentage rent” which is addressed in Section 6.1.2(ii) below) (collectively, “Tenant Payments”), if any, received by Owners under leases of space at the Property (collectively, the “Leases”) that relate to any period after the Closing.
(ii)
Percentage Rent. No adjustment shall be made to the Gross Asset Value at Closing on account of percentage rents (i.e., that portion of the rent payable to the landlord by a tenant under a Lease which is a percentage of the amount of sales or of the dollar amount of sales). Any percentage rent with respect to the calendar year (or other applicable fiscal year under a Lease during which the Closing occurs for the measurement of percentage rents) in which the Closing occurs which is received by any Owner after Closing and which is attributable to the period prior to Closing shall result in and require a Post-Closing Prorations Recalculation in accordance with Section 6.1.17. For purposes of prorating percentage rents, the amount “attributable” to the period prior to the Closing Date shall be equal to (a) the aggregate amount of such percentage rents actually collected for the calendar year (or other applicable fiscal year under a Lease during which the Closing occurs for the measurement of percentage rents) in which the Closing occurs multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days prior to the Closing Date that the applicable tenant leases space at the Property during the calendar year (or other applicable fiscal year under a Lease during which the Closing occurs for the measurement of percentage rents) in which the Closing occurs and the denominator of which shall be the number of days that the applicable tenant leases space at the Property during the calendar year (or other applicable fiscal year under a Lease during which the Closing occurs for the measurement of percentage rents) in which the Closing occurs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, percentage rents shall be prorated upon their collection in accordance with this Section 6.1.2(ii). This Section 6.1.2(ii) shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein.
(iii)
Post-Closing Collections. After Closing, Purchaser and the Venture shall make a good faith effort to collect any Tenant Payments or other revenues not collected as of the Closing Date on Owners’ behalf; provided, however, that Purchaser and Venture shall not be required to cause any Owner to institute any action or proceeding to collect any delinquent Tenant Payments or other revenues not collected as of the Closing Date, and all Tenant Payments or other revenues collected by Owners on or after the Closing Date shall first be applied to all amounts due under the applicable Lease at the time of collection (i.e., current Tenant Payments and sums due each
5
Owner as the current owner and landlord) and the balance (if any) shall result in and require a Post-Closing Prorations Recalculation in accordance with Section 6.1.17, but only to the extent of amounts of Tenant Payments delinquent and actually due such Owner from the same tenant which made the post-Closing payment in question for the period prior to the Closing. For purposes of prorating post-closing collections, the amount “attributable” to the period prior to the Closing Date shall be equal to (a) the aggregate amount of such rents actually collected for the calendar year (or other applicable fiscal year under a Lease during which the Closing occurs for the measurement of rents) in which the Closing occurs multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days prior to the Closing Date that the applicable tenant leases space at the Property during the calendar year (or other applicable fiscal year under a Lease during which the Closing occurs for the measurement of rents) in which the Closing occurs and the denominator of which shall be the number of days that the applicable tenant leases space at the Property during the calendar year (or other applicable fiscal year under a Lease during which the Closing occurs for the measurement of rents) in which the Closing occurs. With respect to additional rents, the parties shall exclude any additional rents from increased real property taxes that for the Property to the extent such increase results solely from the transactions contemplated herein. As soon as reasonably possible after the end of the periodic period or calendar year, whichever applicable, in which the Closing occurs, Purchaser shall cause each Owner to do a reconciliation or true-up of all operating expenses and taxes owed by the tenants for such year with any payments which have previously been made by the tenants for such operating expenses and taxes. If the tenants are owed any amounts of money as a result thereof, then such amounts shall result in and require a Post-Closing Prorations Recalculation in accordance with Section 6.1.17, and upon such Post-Closing Prorations Recalculation, Purchaser, on behalf of Owner, shall distribute the owed amounts to tenants. If the tenants owe any amounts of money as a result thereof, then, as and when such amounts are collected from the tenants, such amounts shall result in and require a Post-Closing Prorations Recalculation in accordance with Section 6.1.17. The terms of this Section 6.1.2(iii) shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein.
6.1.3
Real Estate and Personal Property Taxes.
(i)
Ad Valorem Taxes. At Closing, the Gross Asset Value shall be increased by all real property taxes and assessments paid, prior to or at Closing, by the Owners relating to any period after the Closing and shall be reduced by all unpaid real property taxes and assessments to the extent relating to any period prior to the Closing, except to the extent payable directly by tenants. The amount of any supplemental taxes, other than those payable directly by tenants, assessed against the Property after Closing for the period prior to the Closing Date (it being understood that Entity Seller shall have no liability for assessments or an increase in taxes or supplemental taxes due solely to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement) shall result in and require a Post-Closing Prorations Recalculation in accordance with Section 6.1.17. The amount of any real property or personal property tax refunds and credits received by the Owners after the Closing for the Property which are attributable to a fiscal tax year prior to or in which the Closing occurred and which are not refundable to the tenants shall result in and require a Post-Closing Prorations Recalculation in accordance with Section 6.1.17. Any such refunds and credits attributable to the fiscal tax year prior to or during which the Closing occurs shall be apportioned after deducting the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of collection thereof. The adjustment contemplated by this Section 6.1.3(i) to be made post-closing with respect to the Property shall also be made with respect to the Westbury Property, to the extent applicable. The terms of this Section 6.1.3(i) shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein.
(ii)
Insufficient Information. If, at Closing, the real estate and/or personal property tax rate and assessments have not been set for the taxes due and payable during the real estate tax year in which Closing occurs, then the proration of such taxes shall be based upon the rate and assessments for the preceding real estate tax year, and such proration shall be adjusted between Entity Seller and Purchaser after Closing upon presentation of written evidence that the actual taxes due and payable during the real estate tax year in which Closing occurs differ from the amounts used at Closing and in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.1.17. The adjustment contemplated by this Section 6.1.3(i) to be made post-closing with respect to the Property shall also be made with respect to the Westbury Property, to the extent applicable. The terms of this Section 6.1.3(ii) shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein.
6.1.4

10.1.1
(a)
85% of any and all losses, liabilities costs, damages and expenses resulting from claims in any way related to or arising from the Venture (as constituted prior to Closing), the Property or the Owners (as constituted prior to Closing) which arise out of events occurring prior to the Closing, relating to (i) claims of landlord default made by tenants under the Leases, (ii) claims of owner default made by service providers at the Property under applicable service contracts, (iii) third party tort claims occurring at the Property and not covered by insurance, (iv) claims of third parties relating to noncompliance of the Property with environmental laws and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, (v) claims made against PL Westbury LLC directly relating to its obligations under the Westbury Purchase Agreement which are expressly stated to survive the sale of such property, (vi) corporate liabilities of Price Legacy and/or the Venture that arise from federal and state income taxes or securities litigation (Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the indemnity provided in this Section 10.1.1(vi) does not cover or include any liabilities under documents related to indebtedness), and (vii) all costs and expenses of Purchaser, including attorneys' fees, related to any actual actions, suits or judgments incident to any of the foregoing; and

Entity Seller’s aggregate liability under the representations (other than the Entity Reps) contained in Section 8.1 and the indemnities contained in Section 10.1.1(a) and (b) shall in no event exceed the amount of Bucket 2, in the aggregate. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the indemnity contained in Section 10.1.1(a)(vi) shall not be limited by the amount in Bucket 2. With respect to the indemnities contained in Section 10.1.1(a)(iii) and (vi), Purchaser agrees to use reasonable efforts to pursue insurance for such tort claims and corporate liabilities to the extent covered by insurance before making a claim against DRA or Entity Seller.
(b)

(c)
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Purchaser agrees that all settlements by Purchaser or its direct or indirect subsidiaries with respect to tenant claims under the Leases for overcharges or landlord defaults shall reduce Bucket 2 to the extent thereof.

Purchaser shall have no liability to Entity Seller or DRA Loan Guarantor with respect to any indemnity contained herein to the extent the losses, liabilities costs, damages or expenses or the conditions or circumstances giving rise thereto were known to any of the DRA Knowledge Parties, or caused by an act or omission of any DRA Parties, or for which Entity Seller already received a credit pursuant to this Agreement.
10.3
Indemnification Procedures. Wherever in this Article X an indemnification (an “Indemnification”) has been given by one party (the “Responsible Party”) to another (the “Protected Party”), and there is a dispute between the parties with respect to such Indemnification, then the following shall apply; provided, however, that the following shall not apply to any and all matters relating to Lender Consents, which shall in each case be subject to Purchaser’s consent, in its sole discretion, and shall require Entity Seller to expend sums in accordance with the terms of this Agreement up to the aggregate amount of Bucket 1: If the Protected Party learns of any event, occurrence or state of facts by which any Indemnification is likely to apply, the Protected Party shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Responsible Party and the Responsible Party shall have a commercially reasonable opportunity and commercially reasonable period of time to take such action (including legal action or defenses) as may be appropriate or necessary to fulfill its obligations hereunder, and the Protected Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Responsible Party’s investigation and defense of any claim involved in the Indemnification, at no cost (other than de minimus) to the Protected Party. The Responsible Party shall be entitled to control the defense of any third party claim, including the selection of counsel (subject to the Protected Party’s reasonable approval), in each case at the Responsible Party’s expense. If a Responsible Party is not adequately or properly defending the defense of any third party claim, as determined by the Protected Party in its reasonable discretion, Protected Party may so defend with their selected counsel at the expense of the Responsible Party with legal fees to be paid by the Responsible Party on demand. The Protected Party shall not be entitled to settle any such third party claim without the Responsible Party’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and the Responsible Party’s Indemnification obligation shall not apply to any settlement consummated without the Responsible Party’s consent, unless any such settlement by the Protected Party is the result of the Responsible Party’s default of its obligations under this Section 10.3. If the Protected Party at any time receives any payment under any insurance policy or from any other source for any claim for which indemnity is sought hereunder, the amount of coverage available to the Protected Party under such policy or other source shall be deducted from the amount for which the Responsible Party is liable. Notwithstanding the foregoing other than those matters relating to Lender Consents, the Indemnification procedures set forth in this Section 10.3 shall not apply to the expenditure of less than $200,000 in connection with any individual Indemnification claim. The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall survive Closing.
