WHEREAS, The Xxxxx Company of Nevada, LLC and The Xxxxx Company of New

entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale dated March 7, 2003 (said
Agreement of Purchase and Sale as it may be amended shall be referred to as the
"Agreement of Sale") with PR Moorestown Limited Partnership, a Pennsylvania
limited partnership (which, together with any assignee of buyer's rights under
the Agreement of Sale, including any intermediary or exchange accommodation
titleholder, is herein referred to as "Buyer") pursuant to which Seller will
sell and Buyer will purchase one hundred percent (100%) of the membership
interests of Xxxxx-Moorestown, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company ("Owner
Entity"), which owns certain Real Property known as the Moorestown Mall, and
located in Moorestown, New Jersey. Any capitalized terms used in this Guaranty
and not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth therefor in the
Agreement of Sale.
WHEREAS, Buyer is an Affiliate of Guarantor and it is to the financial
benefit of Guarantor to give this Guaranty in order to induce Seller to enter
into and consummate the Agreement of Sale and Buyer and Guarantor acknowledge
Seller would not have entered into the Agreement of Sale without the execution
and delivery to it of this Guaranty.

which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the
Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Seller the full
and prompt payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined
below), this Guaranty being upon the following terms:
1. The term "Guaranteed Obligations" as used herein means: (a) all of the
obligations and liabilities (including, without limitation, representations,
warranties, covenants and indemnities) of Buyer pursuant to the Agreement of
Sale which survive Closing pursuant to the Agreement of Sale, (b) all costs
(including, without limitation, all attorney's fees and expenses) to which
Seller is entitled under the Agreement of Sale in connection with the
enforcement and/or collection of the obligations and liabilities referred to in
(a), and (c) all costs (including, without limitation, all attorney's fees and
expenses) incurred by Seller in connection with enforcing this Guaranty against
Guarantor.
2. This instrument is an absolute, continuing, irrevocable, and
unconditional guaranty of payment and performance, and not a guaranty of
collection, and Guarantor shall remain liable on its obligations hereunder until
the payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.
3. The exercise by Seller of any right or remedy hereunder or under any
other instrument, or at law or in equity, shall not preclude the concurrent or
subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy.
- 2 -
4. In the event of any default by Buyer in the payment or performance of
the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, when such Guaranteed
Obligations are due to be paid or performed by Buyer, Guarantor shall thereupon
pay or perform the Guaranteed Obligations then due in full without notice or
demand, and it shall not be necessary for Seller, in order to enforce such
payment or performance by Guarantor, first to institute suit or exhaust its
remedies against Buyer or others.
5. If the time for payment or performance by Buyer of all or any portion of
the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or
reorganization of Buyer, the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be paid or
performed by Guarantor hereunder forthwith on demand by Seller.
6. Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations under this Guaranty shall
not be released, discharged, diminished, impaired, reduced, or affected for any
reason or by the occurrence of any event, including, without limitation, one or
more of the following events, whether or not with notice to or the consent of
Guarantor: (a) the taking or accepting of collateral as security for any or all
of the Guaranteed Obligations or the release, surrender, exchange, or
subordination of any collateral now or hereafter securing any or all of the
Guaranteed Obligations; (b) the dissolution, insolvency, or bankruptcy of Buyer,
Guarantor, or any other party at any time liable for the Guaranteed Obligations;
(c) any renewal, extension, modification, waiver, amendment, assignment or
re-assignment of the Agreement of Sale or any instrument, document, or agreement
evidencing, securing, or otherwise relating to any or all of the Guaranteed
Obligations; (d) any adjustment, indulgence, release, forbearance, waiver or
compromise that may be granted or given by Seller to Buyer, provided that this
Guaranty shall continue to apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so compromised
- 3 -
(other than in connection with any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency
proceeding); (e) any neglect, delay, omission, failure, or refusal of Seller to
take or prosecute any action for the collection of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations from Buyer or Guarantor; (f) any payment by Buyer or any other party
to Seller is held to constitute a preference under applicable bankruptcy or
insolvency law or if for any other reason Seller is required to refund any
payment or pay the amount thereof to someone else; (g) any change in the
existence, structure, or ownership of Buyer; (h) any other circumstance which
might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or discharge of, Buyer or
Guarantor, or any other party liable for any or all of the Guaranteed
Obligations, other than payment, satisfaction or compromise of the Guaranteed
Obligations provided that this Guaranty shall continue to apply to the
Guaranteed Obligations as so compromised (other than in connection with any
bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding).

in a breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the imposition of
any lien upon any assets of Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of any
- 4 -
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement, franchise, permit,
license, or other instrument or agreement to which Guarantor or his properties
are bound.

Guaranty or the validity or enforceability thereof.
(d) Guarantor has, independently and without reliance upon Seller and
based upon such documents and information as Guarantor has deemed appropriate,
made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Guaranty.
8. Without the prior written consent of Seller until the Guaranteed
Obligations have been satisfied in full, Guarantor shall not (i) file suit
against Buyer or exercise or enforce any other creditor's right it may have
against Buyer, or (ii) foreclose, repossess, sequester, or otherwise take steps
or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including without
limitation the commencement of, or joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy,
rearrangement, debtor's relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any liens,
security interests, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances held by
Guarantor on assets of Buyer, or (iii) assert any rights against Buyer by reason
of subrogation to the rights of Seller by reason of the payment by Guarantor of
any Guaranteed obligations or otherwise.

any departure by the Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless
the same shall be in writing and signed by Seller. No failure on the part of
Seller to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power, or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or

privilege. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
remedies provided by law.
