CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of the 22nd day of January, 2008, by and among Bala Cynwyd Associates, L.P. a Pennsylvania limited partnership, formerly known as Bala Cynwyd Associates (“BCA”), City Line Associates, a Pennsylvania limited partnership (“CLA”), Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxx, (collectively with Xxxxxx Xxxxx, the “Xxxxxx”), Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx (“Xxxxxxxx”), Xxxxxxx Xxxxx (“Shore”) and Xxxxx Xxxxx (“Stone”) (the Xxxxxx, together with Xxxxxxxx, Shore and Stone, are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Individuals”), Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust, an unincorporated association in business trust form created under Pennsylvania law pursuant to a Trust Agreement dated December 27, 1960, as last amended and restated on December 16, 1997 (“PREIT”); PREIT Associates, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “UPREIT”) and PR Cherry Hill Office GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PR GP”).
Background
CLA and CBS Broadcasting Inc., formerly known as CBS Inc. (“CBS”) are the sole partners in BCA. Each of CLA and CBS own equal interests in BCA/CH LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that is the sole general partner of BCA (“BCA GP”). BCA owns an office building known as 00 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx (the “Bala Property”). The Individuals constitute all of the partners in CLA.
BCA has entered into an Exchange Agreement dated as of August 17, 2007, as amended (the “Exchange Agreement”) with One Cherry Hill Corp., a New Jersey corporation (“CH Corp.”) pursuant to which BCA has agreed to convey the Bala Property to CH Corp. in exchange for the conveyance by CH Corp. to BCA of an office building known as One Cherry Hill Plaza, Cherry Hill, New Jersey (the “Cherry Hill Property”) plus cash and/or a note equal to the difference in the agreed values between the Bala Property and the Cherry Hill Property (such transaction, the “Exchange”). The Exchange Agreement values the Bala Property at $19,500,000, subject to adjustment if a lease with AXA Equitable Life Assurance Society (“AXA”) is not renewed upon terms specified in the Exchange Agreement, and values the Cherry Hill Property at $15,300,000. The Exchange Agreement requires that each of the Bala Property and the Cherry Hill Property be exchanged free and clear of all debt and monetary encumbrances.
The Cherry Hill Property is physically located within the boundaries of the Cherry Hill Mall, a first class regional mall owned indirectly by PREIT in Cherry Hill, New Jersey (the “Mall”). PREIT is in the process of a substantial renovation, upgrade and expansion of the Mall and believes that it is in PREIT’s best interest to control the Cherry Hill Property in connection with its redevelopment of the Mall.
BCA has entered into an agreement with CBS (the “Redemption Agreement”), contingent upon closing occurring under the Exchange Agreement, to redeem CBS’s interest in BCA, including CBS’s interest in BCA GP, at the First Closing, such redemption to be for a consideration paid in cash and/or by assignment of a note from CH Corp. The redemption of CBS’s interest in BCA will be a condition of the UPREIT’s obligation to close under this Agreement.
The UPREIT and the PR GP have agreed to make capital contributions to BCA in exchange for interests in BCA, the Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx and Shore have agreed to contribute their
partnership interests in BCA to the UPREIT in exchange for Class A Units of partnership interest (the “Class A Units”) in the UPREIT and Stone has agreed to assign his partnership interests in BCA to the UPREIT for cash, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(a) Organization. CLA is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has all power to carry on its business as presently conducted, to own its interest in BCA and to exercise all rights attributable to such interest. It is duly qualified to do business as a foreign entity and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which its ownership of or other interest in assets or properties or the nature of its activities requires such qualification except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), assets, results of operations or business of CLA (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

The execution, delivery and performance by CLA of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of CLA. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by CLA and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of
- 6 -
CLA enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles. When executed and delivered as contemplated herein, each of the other Transaction Documents to which CLA is a party shall, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the other parties thereto, constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of CLA enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles.
(c) No Conflicts. The execution and delivery by CLA and each Individual of this Agreement does not, and the performance by CLA and such Individual of all of their respective obligations under the Transaction Documents will not (with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice), directly or indirectly:
(i) contravene, violate or conflict with (A) the partnership agreement of CLA, or (B) any Law applicable to CLA or any Individual, or by or to which any assets or properties of CLA or any such Individual are bound or subject;
(ii) violate or conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default or otherwise cause any loss of benefit under, or give to others any rights (including rights of termination, amendment, foreclosure, cancellation or acceleration) in or with respect to, any Authorization or Contract to which CLA or any Individual is a party or by which CLA or any such Individual or any assets or properties CLA or any such Individual are bound or affected; or
(iii) result in, require or permit the creation or imposition of any lien or encumbrance upon or with respect to CLA or any such Individual, or any assets or properties of CLA or any such Individual.
(d) Authorizations. The execution and delivery by CLA or any such Individual of this Agreement does not, and the execution and delivery by CLA and such Individuals of the other Transaction Documents, and the performance by such CLA and any such Individual of this Agreement and all of the Transaction Documents will not, require CLA or any such Individual to obtain any authorization of, or to make any filing, registration or declaration with or notification to, any court, government or governmental agency or instrumentality (federal, state, local or foreign) or to obtain the consent, waiver or approval of, or give any notice to, any other Person.
(e) Proceedings. There are no claims, actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or, to the knowledge of CLA or any Individual, threatened or contemplated, involving or affecting CLA or any Individual or any of their respective assets or properties, that question any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or other Transaction Documents, or which, if adversely determined, would have a Material Adverse Effect or could materially and adversely affect the ability of CLA or any Individual to enter into or perform their respective obligations under this Agreement.
- 7 -
(f) Interests in CLA.
(i) No person or entity other than the Individuals has any partnership or other interest in CLA or any right to receive any distributions from CLA or be allocated any profits or losses of CLA. Each Individual owns, beneficially and of record, his interest in CLA free and clear of all liens, pledges and encumbrances of any type or nature.
(ii) No person has any rights, subscriptions, warrants, options, rights of first refusal, conversion rights or agreements of any kind outstanding to purchase or to otherwise acquire any partnership interest or other securities or obligations of any kind convertible into any partnership interest or other securities or any participation interests of any kind in CLA.
(g) Brokers. No Person acting on behalf of BCA, CLA or any Individual or under the authority of any of BCA, CLA or any Individual is or will be entitled to any brokers’ or finders’ fee or any other commission or similar fee, directly or indirectly, from any of such parties in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement except for such commissions as are payable with respect to the Exchange, which commissions will be fully paid by CLA and/or CH Corp. at the First Closing.
(h) Accurate Disclosure. All documents and other papers delivered by or on behalf of CLA or each Individual in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are accurate and complete in all material respects.
(i) Investment Representations.
(i) Xxxxxxxx, the Xxxxxx and Shore (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Share Recipients”) acknowledge that the Class A Units to be issued pursuant to Section 3 hereof will not be registered under the 1933 Act on the grounds that the issuance of such units is exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act and/or Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act, and that the reliance of the UPREIT on such exemptions is predicated in part on the representations, warranties and acknowledgements of the Share Recipients set forth in this section.

9.3 Limitation. No party may assert a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 9 unless the First Closing has occurred under this Agreement.
9.4 Procedure For Indemnification – Third-Party Claims.
(a) Within thirty (30) days after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any proceeding against it to which the indemnification in this Section 9 relates, such indemnified party shall, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under Section 9, give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such proceeding, but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party, except to the extent that the indemnifying party, demonstrates that the defense of such proceeding is materially prejudiced by the indemnified party’s failure to give such notice.
(b) If any proceeding referred to in paragraph (a) above is brought against an indemnified party and it gives notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such proceeding, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in such proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the indemnifying party is also a party to such proceeding and the indemnified party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, or (ii) the indemnifying party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the indemnified party of its financial capacity to defend such proceeding and provide indemnification with respect to such proceeding), to assume the defense of such proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such proceeding, the indemnifying party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the indemnified party under Section 9 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such proceeding, in each case subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense of such proceeding, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a proceeding, (A) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that proceeding are within the scope of and subject to indemnification; (B) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party’s consent unless (l) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law by the indemnified party (or any affiliate thereof) or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the indemnified party, and (2) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party. The indemnified party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of the claims underlying such proceeding effected without its consent. If notice is given to an indemnifying party of the commencement of any proceeding and the indemnifying party does not, within ten days after the indemnified party’s notice is given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such proceeding, the indemnifying party will be bound by any determination made in such proceeding or any compromise or settlement effected by the indemnified party.
- 22 -
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a proceeding may adversely affect it or its affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnified party may, with respect to those issues, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such proceeding, but the indemnifying party will not be bound by any determination of a proceeding so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent.
9.5 Procedure for Indemnification—Other Claims. A claim for any matter not involving a third party claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought.
9.6 Right of Set-Off. PREIT and the UPREIT shall have the right to set-off, against any payments to be made by the UPREIT or any Class A Units to be issued by the UPREIT at the Second Closing or the Third Closing, any amount owed to any PREIT Indemnitee provided, however, such set off shall be as to the Individuals severally, with respect to Damages chargeable to such Individual. To the extent that an Individual contests an indemnification claim of PREIT or the UPREIT that would be the basis for the exercise of a right to set off against any payments or Class A Units owed to an Individual, the UPREIT shall pay such amount or issue such Class A Units and deposit them with an escrow agent reasonably satisfactory to the UPREIT and the Individuals until the earlier to occur of (i) resolution of such dispute by a final nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) the mutual agreement of the Individuals and the UPREIT that such units should be released from escrow.
9.7 Indemnification Payments. The Individuals shall be entitled to use cash or Class A Units to make indemnification payments hereunder. In the event Class A Units are used, each such Unit shall be valued based on the per share Value (as defined in the UPREIT Partnership Agreement) of a PREIT Share as of the date such Unit is tendered to PREIT as an indemnification payment hereunder.
9.8 Representative. The Individuals hereby appoint Xxxxxx Xxxxx as their agent and attorney-in-fact to represent each Individual in connection with any claim made hereunder. Said attorney-in-fact shall have full power and authority to compromise claims and give releases on behalf of each Individual.
9.9 Survival. The rights and obligations of the parties set forth in this Section 9 shall survive all Closings.

- 23 -
its obligations under this Agreement) and PREIT and the UPREIT have not waived all such unsatisfied conditions before termination pursuant to this subparagraph (iii);
(iv) by CLA or any Individual if any of the conditions in Section 7.1(b) have not been satisfied as of the Closing Date or if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes impossible and CLA and the Individuals have not waived all such unsatisfied conditions before termination pursuant to this subparagraph (iv); or
(v) by PREIT pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.6 of this Agreement.

PROFITS AND LOSSES
Section 4.01 General Allocation of Profits and Losses. After taking into account any special allocations pursuant to Section 4.02 and subject to any limitations contained therein, Profits and Losses for any year or portion thereof shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with this Section 4.01.
(a) | Profits. Profits shall be allocated among the Partners as follows: |
(i) | First, among the Partners who have previously been allocated Losses pursuant to Section 4.01(b)(ii) in the same proportion as such Losses have been allocated, until the cumulative Profits allocated to each Partner pursuant to this Section 4.01(a)(i) equal the cumulative Losses allocated to each Partner pursuant to Section 4.01(b)(ii); |
(ii) | Then, among all of the Partners in accordance with their Percentage Interests. |
(b) | Losses. Losses shall be allocated among the Partners as follows: |
(i) | First, among the Partners who have previously been allocated Profits pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(ii) in the same proportion as such Profits have been allocated, until the cumulative Losses allocated to each Partner pursuant to this Section 4.01(b)(i) equal the cumulative Profits allocated to |
10
each Partner pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(ii); |
(ii) | Then, among all of the Partners in accordance with their Percentage Interests. |
(c) The Partners intend that the allocations of Profits and Losses in Section 4.01(a) and Section 4.01(b) result in a Capital Account balance for each Partner on liquidation of the Partnership that is equal to the amount that would be distributed to such Partner if liquidating distributions were made in accordance with Article 3 of this Agreement. In the year of liquidation of the Partnership, if the allocations set forth in Section 4.01(a) and Section 4.01(b) would result in Capital Account balances that are not as described in the preceding sentence, Profits and Losses and, if necessary, items of gross income and deduction shall be specially allocated among the Partners to the extent necessary to cause each Partner’s Capital Account balance to be equal to the amount that would be distributed to such Partner if liquidating distributions were made in accordance with Article 3 of this Agreement.
Section 4.02 Special Allocations.
(a) Limitation on Allocation of Items of Loss or Deduction. No Partnership items of loss or deduction may be allocated to any Partner to the extent such allocation would result in an Adjusted Capital Account deficit balance for such Partner. Any items of loss or deduction that are prohibited to be allocated to a Partner under the preceding sentence shall be reallocated among the other Partners to whom such limitation does not apply in accordance with their relative Percentage Interests. If, at the end of a year, any Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account deficit balance that exceeds the amounts described in subsection (a) of the definition of “Adjusted Capital Account,” such Partner shall be allocated items of gross income and gain to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess.
(b) Nonrecourse Deductions and Partnership Minimum Gain Chargeback. Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with their Percentage Interests. If there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain for any year, each Partner shall be allocated the next available items of income and gain for such year (and for subsequent years if necessary) equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain as determined in accordance with Regulation § 1.704-2(g) and the “minimum gain chargeback” requirement of Regulation § 1.704-2(f).
(c) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions and Chargeback. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any year shall be allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable as determined under Regulation § 1.704-2(i). If there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain in any year, each Partner shall be allocated items of income and gain for such year (and for subsequent years if necessary) equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain in accordance with Regulation § 1.704-2(i)(4).
11
(d) Qualified Income Offset. Any Partner who unexpectedly receives, with respect to the Partnership, an adjustment, allocation, or distribution of any item described in subsections (4), (5), or (6) of Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii) (d) shall be allocated items of income and gain in an amount sufficient to eliminate such Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account deficit balance arising thereby as quickly as possible, in accordance with the “qualified income offset” rule of Regulation § 1.704-1(b) (2) (ii) (d) (3) .
(e) Curative Allocations. The special allocations set forth in this Section 4.02 are intended to comply with the requirements of the Regulations under § 704(b) of the Code. It is the intent of the Partners that all such special allocations shall be offset with other special allocations. Accordingly, to the extent consistent with the Regulations, to the extent that any such special allocations are made to a Partner, subsequent offsetting special allocations shall be made to such Partner such that the net amount of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction allocated to each Partner is the same that would have been allocated to each Partner if no special allocations had been made to any Partner, taking into account future special allocations that, although not yet made, are likely to offset previous special allocations.
Section 4.03 Allocation During Year. For purposes of determining Profits, Losses, or any other items allocable to any period ending on a date other than the last day-of the Partnership’s year, Profits, Losses, and any such other items shall be allocated among such periods using such method permitted by § 706 of the Code and the Regulations thereunder as shall be chosen by the General Partner.
Section 4.04 Tax Allocations.
(a) General Allocation. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.04, items of income, gain, loss and deduction as determined for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated in the same manner as the related items of Profits, Losses, or specially allocated items. Tax credits shall be allocated in accordance with Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).
(b) Contributed Property. In accordance with § 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value.
(c) Revaluations. If the Book Value of any Partnership property is adjusted pursuant to Section 2.04(d)(ii) of this Agreement, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such property shall be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under § 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder.
(d) No Effect on Capital Accounts. Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.04 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, or other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
12
(e) Allocation Method. The method for making allocations pursuant to Section 4.04(b) and Section 4.04(c) shall be such method permitted by Regulation § 1.704-3 as shall be selected by the General Partner.

Section 10.02 Investment Representations.

Each Limited Partner further acknowledges that it understands that the effect of the foregoing representation and warranty and restriction on assignment or other disposition is generally to require that such Interest be held indefinitely unless it is registered or an exemption from registration is available.

The Agent agrees to use reasonable efforts to:
(a) | contract, for periods limited to the Owner’s possession of the Premises, but not in excess of one year, (without Owners prior consent), in the name and at the expense of the Owner, for gas, electricity, water, and such other services as are being currently furnished to the Premises. Service contracts shall be written to include a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation by the Owner wherever possible. |
(b) | at the expense of the Owner, select, employ, pay, supervise, direct and discharge an on-site manager, accountant and staff as well as all other employees necessary for the operation and maintenance of the Premises, in number and at initial wages not in excess of those shown on Exhibit A attached hereto or those required under any union contract then in effect, plus Agent’s standard fringe benefit package, including bonus, to carry Workers’ Compensation Insurance (and, when required by law, compulsory Non-Occupational Disability Insurance) covering such employees, and to use reasonable care in the selection and supervision of such employees. The Agent shall be responsible for complying with all laws and regulations and collective bargaining agreements affecting such employment, and Agent shall negotiate with labor unions lawfully entitled to represent employees at the premises. The Agent will be and will continue throughout the term of this Agreement to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. All persons employed in connection with the operation and maintenance of the Premises shall be employees of the Agent, Agent’s affiliates or Agent’s contractors, and not of Owner. The Agent shall be reimbursed by the Owner in amounts not exceeding those which are in accordance with the approved budget for all expenses properly incurred by it for compensation of all employees necessary for the operation and maintenance of the Premises, including, without limitation, direct payroll, fringe benefits, including bonus, employer’s payroll taxes such as the employer’s contribution to FICA, unemployment compensation, employer’s contribution to any pension plan which is identified by the Agent to the Owner (including, without limitation, any withdrawal liability imposed on the Agent as a result of this Agreement pursuant to the Multi-Employer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980), the cost of employee benefits required by law, workers compensation premiums, and any sums required to be paid to such employees under collective bargaining agreements made pursuant to the National Labor Relations Act. |

necessary for the proper operation of the Premises and the fulfillment of the Owner’s obligations under the leases affecting the Premises and compliance with all governmental and insurance requirements; provided that the Agent shall not make any purchase or do any work, the cost of which shall exceed the amount set forth in Exhibit B without obtaining, in each instance, the prior consent of the Owner, except (i) in circumstances which the Agent shall deem to constitute an emergency requiring immediate action for the protection of the Premises or of tenants or other persons or to avoid the suspension of necessary services or (ii) where the expense is authorized by the approved budget. The Agent shall notify the Owner of the necessity for, the nature of, and the cost of any such emergency repairs or compliance. If Owner shall require, Agent shall submit, for Owner’s prior written approval, a list of contractors and subcontractors performing tenant work, repairs, alterations or services at the Premises, under Agent’s direction. |

The Owner shall receive the benefit of all discounts and rebates obtained by the Agent in its operation of the Premises.
If the Agent desires to contract for repair, construction, or any other service described in this subsection (c) with a party with respect to which any partner or shareholder of the Agent holds a beneficial interest, such interest shall be disclosed to and approved by the Owner before such services are procured. The cost of any such services shall likewise be at competitive rates notwithstanding that tenants of the Premises may be required to pay such costs. The Agent shall not employ any corporation or other entity in which the Agent (or any subsidiary, affiliate, or related corporation) shall have a financial interest for the purpose of making repairs and alterations or performing other services to the Premises, unless such work is done at a tenant’s request and at tenant’s sole expense (such work being hereinafter referred to as “Tenant Work”).

promptly of any bodily or personal injury or property damage occurring to or claimed by any tenant or third party on or with respect to the Premises and to forward promptly to the carrier any summons, subpoena, or other like legal document served upon the Agent relating to actual or alleged potential liability of the Owner, the Agent or the Premises. |
(f) | request from tenants any certificates of insurance and renewals thereof required to be furnished by the terms of leases, copies of which will be provided to the Owner upon request. |
(g) | receive and collect rent and all other monies payable to the Owner by all tenants and licensees in the Premises and to deposit the same promptly in the bank (the “Bank”) named in Exhibit B in a bank account (the “Bank Account”) in the name of Agent, as Agent for the Owner, which Bank Account shall be used exclusively for such funds. In the event state law requires tenant security deposits be held in a separate account, such account shall be established by the Agent as approved by the Owner. |
The Owner or the Owner’s designated representative will be a signatory on the Bank Account, but need not co-sign each check.
(h) | collect such rent and other charges from tenants in a timely manner and to pursue Owner’s legal remedies for non-payment of same, including the termination of leases for tenants in default by the institution of legal action.

The fees for all such legal services shall be paid for by Owner, including (i) negotiation of leases, including department store leases and reciprocal easement agreements; (ii) preparation and negotiations of construction contracts for renovations of the Premises; (iii) suits to enforce leases; (iv) bankruptcy claims involving tenants; (v) negotiations with labor unions; (vi) environmental matters and (vii) any other legal action approved by Owner.

For lease assignments, lease amendments and lease surrenders, the reimbursement shall be Five Hundred ($500.00) Dollars; and for all other legal work performed by Agent’s in-house attorneys or paralegals, the amount of the reimbursement shall be Two Hundred ($200.00) Dollars per hour for Agent’s in-house attorneys and Seventy-Five ($75.00) Dollars per hour for all work performed by Agent’s in-house paralegals. Such attorneys and paralegals shall keep time records substantiating the hours charged and on request such records may be inspected by Owner. Agent |
may deduct the amount to be reimbursed from the Bank Account. With respect to any litigation involving sums due from tenants, Agent is authorized to compromise such litigation without Owner’s consent so long as such compromise does not involve a forgiveness of sums due by such tenant in excess of Fifteen Thousand ($15,000.00) Dollars. |
(i) | bond the Agent and all of the Agent’s employees who may handle or be responsible for monies or property of the Owner with a “fidelity” bond, in the amount of Two Hundred Thousand ($200,000.00) Dollars. |

Such compliance shall be undertaken in the name of Owner, and be at Owner’s expense. Agent shall give prompt written notice to Owner of any violation or notice of alleged violation of such laws and Agent shall not bear responsibility for failure of the Premises or the operation thereof to comply with such laws unless Agent has committed gross negligence or a willful act or omission in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. |

The names and address of the persons who shall receive said reports are set forth in Exhibit B. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Agent is authorized to pay all bills for the operation of the Premises from the rentals and other income of the Premises, including the Agent’s fee and reimbursable items set forth in this Agreement, and the Agent shall remit to the Owner the net receipts after such payments with such monthly report. Prior to Owner’s default or the
termination of this Agreement the Owner shall, at any time, have the right to require the transfer to the Owner of any funds in the Bank Account considered by the Owner and Agent to be in excess of an amount reasonably required by the Agent for disbursement purposes in connection with the Premises. In the event Agent determines that there is not sufficient funds in the Bank Account to pay when due all expenses of the Premises and reimbursements due Agent, Owner shall, within five (5) days of request, deposit into such account additional funds in the amount requested by Agent. The Agent agrees to keep full and detailed records with respect to the management and operation of the Premises and to retain those records for periods specified by the Owner, not to exceed three (3) years after the year in question. The Owner shall have the right to inspect such records and audit the reports required by this Section during business hours for the life of this Agreement, and at times mutually agreeable to Owner and Agent.
2.3 The Agent shall exercise reasonable diligence to exert such control over accounting and financial transactions as is reasonably required to protect the Owner’s assets from loss or diminution due to error, negligence or willful misconduct or wanton acts on the part of the Agent, its employees, agents or contractors. Losses caused by failure to exercise reasonable diligence shall be borne by Agent.
2.4 The Agent shall prepare and submit to the Owner a proposed operating and capital budget for the promotion, operation, repair and maintenance of the Premises for each calendar year. Preliminary and final budgets will be due ninety (90) and sixty (60) days, respectively, prior to the end of each calendar year. Such budgets shall be prepared on a cash basis showing a month by month projection of income and expense and capital expenditures and shall be accompanied by proposed leasing guidelines for the next ensuing calendar year which shall contain a brief narrative description of the anticipated market, a projection of cash flow for such year, listing expiring leases for the next following year as well as project ranges of rental rates and terms for new or renewal leases, estimates of concessions to tenants and of cost estimates of alterations for space to be leased. The annual budget shall be deemed approved unless Agent receives written notification of disapproval within thirty (30) days after the date such budget was tendered to Owner for approval; Owner shall have the right to disapprove line items in such budget or the entire budget. In the event of a line item disapproval, all portions of the budget not disapproved shall automatically be deemed approved. In the event of such disapproval of the budget or any specific line items thereof, the parties will promptly meet and resolve such differences and Agent will promptly thereafter resubmit a revised budget to Owner who shall have an additional ten (10) days to approve or disapprove the same and such procedure shall continue until the budget has been approved. If Owner shall fail to disapprove the revised budget within ten (10) days of receipt, the same shall be deemed approved. Agent is authorized for the account of Owner to make any expenditures or to incur any obligations or implement any items which are included in the approved annual budget without further approval from owner being required. Such budgets and all other financial reporting to be prepared by Agent shall be prepared using Agent’s then standard format and software. Agent shall not be obligated to use any other financial format or software unless same is satisfactory to Agent, Owner purchases same for Agent and Owner pays all of the training expenses for Agent’s employees relating to such software.
After approval of each such budget by the Owner, the Agent agrees to use diligence and to employ all reasonable efforts so that the actual costs of operating the Premises shall not
exceed said approved budget by more than ten (10%) percent per year without the Owner’s approval. The Agent shall promptly notify the Owner if the Agent reasonably anticipates any such line item exceeding one hundred ten (110%) percent of the amount therefor in the approved budget.
2.5 Agent agrees, for itself and all persons retained or employed by Agent in performing its services, to hold in confidence and not to use or disclose to others any confidential or proprietary information of Owner heretofore or hereafter disclosed to Agent including, but not limited to, any data, information, plans, programs, processes, costs, operations or tenants which may come within the knowledge of Agent in the performance of or as a result of its services, except where Owner specifically authorizes Agent to disclose any of the foregoing to others or such disclosure reasonably results from the performance of Agent’s duties hereunder or is required to be disclosed pursuant to litigation.
2.6 The Agent agrees to use its best efforts to have the Premises rented to desirable tenants, satisfactory to the Owner considering the nature of the Premises, and in connection therewith to negotiate business terms for relocation and/or expansions, new leases and renewals of leases at appropriate times, it being understood that all inquiries to the Owner with respect to leasing any portion of the Premises shall be referred to the Agent. At least once per year Owner and Agent shall meet and mutually develop a “leasing game plan” for the ensuing calendar year which game plan shall specify projected vacancies, projected rentals and other pertinent terms of new leases or lease renewals, costs to be incurred in obtaining tenants and other relevant matters. Owner hereby authorizes Agent to implement the approved leasing game plan and to negotiate and execute leases in accordance therewith and confirms that any leases so executed shall be deemed approved by Owner and Owner shall pay Agent the leasing commission set forth in this Agreement with respect to each lease executed by a tenant consistent with the leasing game plan. Agent is hereby given the exclusive right to lease the Premises on behalf of Owner and Owner shall pay to Agent the leasing commission set forth in Exhibit B regardless of who may negotiate the same, including Owner. All leases and renewals shall be prepared by the Agent on the Agent’s form lease, and such leases shall either be executed by Agent on behalf of Owner or, at Agent’s option shall be executed by the Owner. The Agent agrees it will observe the specific leasing guidelines, if any, set forth in the approved budget or otherwise made known to the Agent in writing by the Owner. In the event the Agent shall have a prospective tenant reference from another property in the local market area where the Premises are located in which the Agent has a beneficial interest or which the Agent manages, the Agent shall declare its potential conflict of interest to the Owner, and the Owner shall determine if negotiations shall be undertaken by the Agent, the Owner, or a third party appointed by the Owner. References of prospective tenants, as well as their varying use requirements, shall be investigated by the Agent.
2.7 Anything in the Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding:
(a) | Nothing in this Agreement shall require Agent to take any action (and Agent will not be in default for failure to take any action) to the extent and wherever there is provided a limitation on Agent’s ability to expend funds or incur obligations with respect to the Premises. |
(b) | Unless expressly provided, Agent shall not be responsible or obligated to |
advance its own funds for any purpose in the performance of Agent’s duties under this Agreement. |
(c) | Agent shall not be obligated to pay or perform any liability or obligation or take any action under this Agreement which is to be done at the expense of Owner or for which Agent is entitled to reimbursement from Owner unless funds for such purpose are available in the Bank Account or have otherwise been made available to Agent by Owner. |
(d) | Wherever Agent is obligated to use its “best efforts or reasonable efforts” under this Agreement such term is intended to signify and shall mean that Agent shall exercise its professional skill and expertise with diligence and in a commercially reasonable manner and consistent with high quality practice for the management of similar buildings located in the geographic area in which the Premises are situate. However, such a standard shall not impose additional duties or obligations on Agent not set forth in this Agreement, such as, by way of example, an obligation to advance Agent’s funds or to commence litigation against third parties, or to take extraordinary actions or to perform services not customarily provided by managers of comparable buildings in the local geographic area. Nothing in this Agreement shall require Agent to perform the obligations of others or exercise any efforts (other than reasonable efforts) to cause them to perform such obligations. |
(e) | Everything done by Agent in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and all expenses incurred pursuant hereto shall be for and on behalf of Owner and for its account and at its expense. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all debts and liabilities incurred to third parties in accordance with the annual budget and in the ordinary course of business of managing the Premises are and shall be obligations of Owner, and Agent shall not be liable for any such obligations by reason of its management, supervision or operation of the Premises for Owner. |
ARTICLE III
THE OWNER’S AGREEMENTS
3.1 The Owner, at its option, may pay directly all taxes, special assessments, ground rents, insurance premiums and mortgage payments, in which event Owner shall notify Agent of such.
3.2 The Owner shall carry (or cause to be carried) insurance upon the Premises and shall look solely to such insurance for indemnity against any loss or damage to the Premises except when caused by the willful act or omission or gross negligence of the Agent or its employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors. However, Agent shall not be liable to Owner for any loss or damage to the Premises even if caused by the willful act or omission or gross negligence of Agent or its employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors to the extent any
such loss or damage is covered or should have been covered by Owner’s insurance. To the extent any loss or damage to the Premises is covered or should have been covered by Owner’s insurance, Agent is released from liability therefor and Owner waives its right of subrogation against Agent. The Owner shall purchase, or have Agent purchase for Owner and at Owner’s expense, and maintain policies of commercial general liability insurance, including personal injury liability and contractual liability, in an amount determined by Agent but, in any event not less than $5,000,000.00 combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage. Said policies shall name the Agent as an additional insured thereunder and will be primary to any other available insurance. The Owner shall advise the Agent as to the name and address of any insurance carriers for insurance placed by Owner directly. If Owner desires Agent to purchase property damage or liability insurance for the Premises, Owner shall pay Agent an annual fee representing a pro rata share of the fee Agent pays to participate in its group insurance coverage pool.
3.3 Owner agrees (a) to indemnify, hold and save Agent free and harmless from any claim for damages or injuries to persons or property resulting from: (1) Agent carrying out the provisions of this Agreement or acting under direction of Owner, (2) Owner’s failure or refusal to comply with or abide by any rule, order, determination, ordinance or law of any federal, state or municipal authority, (3) Owner’s failure or refusal to comply with or abide by or perform its obligations set forth in this Agreement, (4) any latent building defects or other defect or dangerous condition which a visual inspection would fail to disclose or any unsafe or dangerous condition or characteristic of the Premises resulting from the design or initial construction of the Premises (including, but not limited to, security systems, door locks, location of trash receptacles, ingress & egress routes and recreational structures), (5) any defects, conditions or situations with respect to the Premises which Agent has disclosed to Owner and requested Owner’s permission to correct or rectify, (6) the willful misconduct or criminal activity of any third person or agency, except as to Agent and its employees, agents and representatives with respect to the Premises or (7) the negligent or willful acts of Owner or Owner’s representatives, officers, employees and agents; and (b) to defend promptly and diligently at Owner’s expense, any claim, action or proceeding against Agent and/or Agent and Owner, jointly or severally, arising out of or connected with any of the foregoing, and to hold harmless and fully indemnify Agent from any judgment, loss or settlement on account thereof. The undertaking of Owner as set forth above shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement as to all liabilities accruing during the term hereof.
3.4 If Owner requests Agent to perform certain designated additional management services and the parties agree to the exact nature, scope and time frame for the performance thereof, then Owner shall pay the Agent the agreed upon fee for Agent’s performance of such services, such payment to be made within twenty (20) days after receipt of a xxxx therefor. Such payment shall be made in addition to the fees and reasonable expenses otherwise stated herein. In performing any specialized management services for Owner, Agent shall not be liable to Owner for errors, accuracies, mistakes or the consequences thereof, relating to the performance of such services provided Agent has performed the services in good faith. Owner hereby waives, releases and discharges Agent from all errors, inaccuracies, mistakes and the consequences thereof relating to the performance of such services, except to the extent Agent has not performed such services in good faith.
3.5 The Owner hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as the sole and exclusive broker for any sale and/or re-financing of the Premises and agrees to pay Agent a fee of ( %) percent of the principal amount of any refinancing and a sales commission of ( %) percent of the gross sales price for the Premises, each such fee to be paid at the closing involved. Such fee shall include Agent’s fee for any due diligence work required to accomplish such refinancing and/or sale.
3.6 Owner agrees to make available to Agent, free of charge, an on-site office to be utilized in connection with Agent’s leasing of the Premises. In addition, Owner shall reimburse Agent monthly for all travel expenses, leasing and marketing materials, demographic and marketing studies signage and advertising incurred by Agent during the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. Agent shall have the right to install signage on the Premises in furtherance of its obligation to lease the Premises. Owner shall cause the Premises to participate in Agent’s wide area network data transmission system and shall lease or purchase for the Premises any wiring, phone, computers, routers or software upgrades that Agent deems necessary to access the system.
3.7 Agent has afforded Owner the benefit of Agent’s blanket policy of workmen’s compensation insurance. Such policy provides that Agent is required to pay in full, in advance, the annual premium for such policy. Owner shall reimburse Agent, on demand, its share of such premium, such share being determined by the actual payroll and rate classifications statutorily mandated in the state where the Premises is located. Owner acknowledges that should this contract be terminated during the policy year, there shall be no proration of Owner’s premium payment as between Owner and Agent unless or until Agent receives a refund for the unused portion of such premium from the insurance carrier.

4.4 Owner shall pay Agent Five Hundred ($500.00) Dollars to review the plans and specifications prepared by each tenant doing alterations or renovations to its space, to verify that such plans are acceptable to landlord and consistent with any landlord design criteria applicable to the Premises.

4.5 Owner authorizes Agent to institute a satellite communication marketing program for the Premises and if such program is successful, Owner shall pay Agent twenty (20%) percent of the income generated therefrom during the term of each such contract, payable in full upon the date Owner receives its first payments for each such contract executed.

Commissions will be based on base rents including CPI inflators payable to Owner, percentage rent and all additional rental payable by the tenant. When leases are negotiated by third party broker, the Agent shall cooperate with such brokers. The Owner shall pay the commission due any such third party broker so long as the Owner has approved in advance the use of such broker and the commission to be paid such broker and such payment shall not reduce the fees provided herein payable to Agent. The leasing commission will be paid to Agent if within a period of six (6) months after the expiration of the term of this Agreement Owner leases all or any portion of the Premises, irrespective of the terms of such lease, to any prospect introduced to the Premises by Agent prior to the expiration of the term, provided that Agent shall have informed Owner in writing of the name of the prospect within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the term hereof. With respect to all such pending leases, Agent is authorized by Owner to continue negotiations and documentation on all such deals. In addition, in the event Owner sells the Premises, at the time of such sale Owner shall pay Agent the leasing commission due for any lease approved by Owner and submitted to the tenant even if such lease is then unsigned.

the same discharged or dismissed, then the other party hereto may forthwith terminate this Agreement upon giving ten (10) days’ written notice to the Defaulting Party.
7.3 This Agreement shall terminate at the election of the Owner upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Agent if the Premises are sold by the Owner to a non-affiliated third party purchaser or automatically if the Premises were acquired by the owner on foreclosure of a mortgage and are subsequently redeemed. In the event the Premises are sold by the Owner to a non-affiliated third party purchaser and this Agreement is not thereby terminated by the Owner, the Agent shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days prior written notice.

Owner shall indemnify and hold Agent harmless with respect to all such contracts. Any termination permitted hereunder shall not prejudice Agent’s right to receive amounts to which Agent is entitled hereunder on account of services rendered by Agent prior to said termination.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Partners of
Bala Cynwyd Associates
Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx 00000
We have audited the balance sheets of Bala Cynwyd Associates (a partnership) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of income, changes in partners’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bala Cynwyd Associates as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary schedules of operating and maintenance expenses on page 13 are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements, and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005
1. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
A. | Operations |
Bala Cynwyd Associates (The Partnership) was formed as a Pennsylvania partnership organized to acquire, develop, lease, operate and maintain an office building located in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. The office building has approximately 80,000 square feet with four tenants.
B. | Real Estate |
Real estate acquired by The Partnership has been stated at cost. Depreciation of building and site improvements is computed by the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives, ranging from five to forty years. Amortization of tenant improvements is calculated over the terms of related leases on a straight-line basis and is included in depreciation expense.
C. | Income Taxes |
Income taxes are not recorded by The Partnership because the individual partners are responsible for income taxes based on their respective interests in net income or loss.
D. | Deferred Charges |
Deferred financing costs are expenditures related to mortgage debt acquisition and are being amortized over the term of the debt agreement on a straight-line basis.
Deferred leasing costs are expenditures paid to real estate brokers for services rendered in obtaining tenants. These costs are being amortized over the terms of the related tenant leases on a straight-line basis.
Deferred rent credits are reductions in the rent (“free rent”) charged tenants at the beginning of the lease term to induce such tenants to lease space in the building. These credits are being amortized over the terms of the related tenant leases as a charge against rental income.
Deferred rental adjustments arise from the averaging and spreading of scheduled rental increases over the entire term of a tenant’s lease in order to recognize rental income evenly (“straight-lining”) from those applicable tenants.
E. | Statements of Cash Flows |
For purposes of these statements, cash and cash equivalents are defined as all unrestricted demand deposits and time deposits which mature within three months.
F. | Allowance for Doubtful Accounts |
It is the policy of the management to review the outstanding accounts receivable at year-end, as well as the actual bad debts experienced in the past, to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts for uncollectible amounts.
G. | Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and to disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Partners of
Bala Cynwyd Associates
Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx 00000
We have audited the balance sheets of Bala Cynwyd Associates (a partnership) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of income, changes in partners’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bala Cynwyd Associates as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary schedules of operating and maintenance expenses on page 13 are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements, and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004
1. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
A. | Operations |
Bala Cynwyd Associates (The Partnership) was formed as a Pennsylvania partnership organized to acquire, develop, lease, operate and maintain an office building located in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. The office building has approximately 80,000 square feet with four tenants.
B. | Real Estate |
Real estate acquired by The Partnership has been stated at cost. Depreciation of building and site improvements is computed by the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives, ranging from five to forty years. Amortization of tenant improvements is calculated over the terms of related leases on a straight-line basis and is included in depreciation expense.
C. | Income Taxes |
Income taxes are not recorded by The Partnership because the individual partners are responsible for income taxes based on their respective interests in net income or loss.
D. | Deferred Charges |
Deferred financing costs are expenditures related to mortgage debt acquisition and are being amortized over the term of the debt agreement on a straight-line basis.
Deferred leasing costs are expenditures paid to real estate brokers for services rendered in obtaining tenants. These costs are being amortized over the terms of the related tenant leases on a straight-line basis.
Deferred rent credits are reductions in the rent (“free rent”) charged tenants at the beginning of the lease term to induce such tenants to lease space in the building. These credits are being amortized over the terms of the related tenant leases as a charge against rental income.
Deferred rental adjustments arise from the averaging and spreading of scheduled rental increases over the entire term of a tenant’s lease in order to recognize rental income evenly (“straight-lining”) from those applicable tenants.
E. | Statements of Cash Flows |
For purposes of these statements, cash and cash equivalents are defined as all unrestricted demand deposits and time deposits which mature within, three months.
F. | Allowance for Doubtful Accounts |
It is the policy of the management to review the outstanding accounts receivable at year-end, as well as the actual bad debts experienced in the past, to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts for uncollectible amounts.
G. | Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and to disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H. | Restricted Cash |
The Partnership maintains escrow cash accounts with the mortgage lender to fund future cash commitments for real estate taxes and cash with the management company for self-insurance claims.

Subject to the Annual Plan, Manager shall for the account of Owner, in Manager’s reasonable discretion and as part of its authority hereunder, select, employ, pay, supervise, direct and discharge all such employees and independent contractors as Manager deems reasonably necessary to perform the Management Services; provided, however, that Owner’s approval shall be required in the case of any contract which (a) has a term in excess of one year (or such longer period as Owner may designate) or provides for annual payments in excess of $10,000 (or such higher amount as Owner may designate), (b) is a renewal or extension of a contract which had a term of one year (or such longer period as the Owner may designate) or less or provided for annual payments of $10,000 (or such higher amount as the Owner may designate) or less, or (c) is entered into with any Affiliate of Manager; provided, further, however, that the senior staff assigned by Manager to the Project shall be subject to Owner’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Manager shall (i) use reasonable care in the selection of such employees or independent contractors, (ii) execute and file punctually when due all forms, reports and returns required by law relating to such employee and (iii) carry, or cause to be carried by independent contractors, such workmen’s compensation insurance and employer’s liability and disability insurance as
- 3 -
may be worker’s by law or Owner. All persons employed by Manager or by any independent contractor employed by Manager in connection with the performance of the Management Services shall be employees of Manager or such independent contractor or contractors, as the case may be. Manager shall use reasonable diligence to meet the requirements of any labor contract now or hereafter applicable to Manager and/or the Project.
Section 3.02. Annual Plan. (a) At least sixty (60) days prior to the Commencement Date, and thereafter no later than November 1 of each succeeding year, Manager shall prepare and submit to Owner an “Annual Plan” setting forth all items of the character specified in Schedule B, including but not limited to the costs and revenues anticipated in connection with the activities of the Project during the succeeding calendar year, which Annual Plan shall be consistent with the Management Standard and shall, to the extent possible, project the calendar months in which major costs are projected to become payable. If any portion of an Annual Plan is unacceptable to Owner, Owner shall so notify Manager within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Annual Plan, and the parties shall thereupon make a good faith effort to negotiate an Annual Plan which is mutually acceptable to them. If the parties are unable to agree upon an Annual Plan, the Annual Plan proposed by Owner shall be the approved Annual Plan. An Annual Plan shall be deemed accepted by Owner as submitted by Manager unless Owner notifies Manager to the contrary within thirty (30) days after Owner’s receipt of such Annual Plan. In no event shall there be any requirement (whether pursuant to this Agreement, an Annual Plan or otherwise) for the hiring or use of “on site” supervisory personnel without Owner’s written approval of such requirement. Except as set forth in subparagraph (b) below, Manager shall take no action in connection with the operation of the Project which deviates in any material respect from an Annual Plan approved by Owner. Manager shall make its
- 4 -
management representatives available at least once a month (and more frequently in the event of an emergency or a major matter) for meetings with representatives of Owner to discuss the activities of the Project and to receive the directions of Owner with respect thereto. Owner may call such a meeting, by at least fifteen (15) days’ advance notice to Manager (or, in the case of emergencies or major matters, upon such shorter notice as Owner may reasonably deem appropriate), to be held at Manager’s office in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, or such other place as the parties may agree.
(b) In incurring costs relating to the management, operation and maintenance of the Project, Manager shall be guided by the Annual Plan approved by Owner as then in effect for such period and shall use diligence and employ reasonable efforts towards achieving the result that the actual costs of such management, operation and maintenance do not exceed the amount approved in the then applicable Annual Plan. Manager may not incur any costs which result in a material deviation from such costs set forth in the Annual Plan without the prior written consent of Owner (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that Manager may incur costs and expenses (including, without limitation, capital costs) in reasonable amounts which exceed those set forth in the Annual Plan without prior approval of Owner if, in the reasonable judgment of Manager, an emergency exists and it is in the best interests of Owner that such costs and expenses be incurred. Manager shall notify Owner of any emergency expenditure within forty-eight (48) hours after the incurrence thereof.
(c) Manager shall promptly inform Owner of any actual or projected material increase in costs and expenses necessary to manage, operate and maintain the Project that were not foreseen during the Annual Plan preparation period and not reflected in the Annual Plan, and shall submit to Owner a revised Annual Plan based upon such unforeseen costs
- 5 -
and expenses. No such revision to the Annual Plan shall become effective except with the prior written approval of Owner (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If disapproved, Manager shall promptly meet with Owner to agree on the revised Annual Plan. During any period when an Annual Plan shall not be in effect, Manager, shall use its reasonable judgment in incurring costs and expenses in the name of Owner and shall be guided by the most recent approved Annual Plan.
Section 3.03. Supplies and Equipment. Subject to Section 3.02, Manager shall purchase for the account of Owner all supplies, materials, tools and equipment which are necessary or appropriate to operate and maintain the Project in accordance with the Management Standard.
Section 3.04. Service Contracts. Manager may negotiate and enter into for the account of Owner any and all contracts and agreements with third parties for all services, supplies or other matters relating to the management, operation or maintenance of the Project contemplated by the Annual Plan containing such terms as Manager shall in its reasonable opinion deem appropriate. With respect to any contract or agreement not contemplated by the Annual Plan, Manager may not (except in the case of any contract expressly permitted under Section 3.01 hereof) negotiate and enter into the same without Owner’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Each contract and agreement entered into by Manager pursuant to Manager’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be for the account of Owner and shall be in Owner’s name or assignable, at Owner’s option, to Owner or Owner’s nominee.
Section 3.05. Collection of Receivables. Manager shall determine all amounts of all fixed rent, percentage rent, additional rent and other sums payable by all tenants in the Project
- 6 -
and shall send invoices and bills to the tenants therefor. Manager shall use diligent efforts to collect all rents (including, without limitation, xxxxxxxx for tenant participation in operating and fixed expenses, taxes and common area maintenance charges) which may become due to Owner at any time from any tenant or from others for Project services and shall collect and identify any income due to Owner from miscellaneous services provided to tenants of the Project or to the public. If approved by Owner, Manager shall, at Owner’s expense, retain legal counsel and collection agencies to enforce any right or remedy against any tenant that is in default of its lease obligations.
Section 3.06. Compliance with Lease Obligations. Manager shall generally administer and perform on behalf of Owner all of Owner’s lease obligations under any leases of space in the Project.
Section 3.07. Repairs, Decorations, Alterations. Manager shall institute and supervise all ordinary and extraordinary repairs, decorations and alterations, including the administration of a preventive maintenance program, for all mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems and equipment of the Project and may retain any consultants, construction manager, contractors, architects or similar parties who are reasonably necessary in order to perform such work; provided, however, that (subject to the rights of Manager in the event of an emergency as provided in Section 3.02) Manager shall not, without the consent of Owner (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) incur any material expense not included in the approved Annual Plan. Manager shall promptly report to Owner any fire or other material damage to the Project.
Section 3.08. Taxes. If requested by Owner to do so, Manager shall obtain and verify bills for real estate and personal property taxes (if any), improvement assessments and
- 7 -
similar assessments which are or may become liens against the Project. Manager shall promptly forward such bills to Owner for payment, or, if such amounts are included in the Annual Plan, Manager shall pay all such items.
Section 3.09. Mortgages. If requested by Owner to do so by including such amounts in the Annual Plan or otherwise, Manager shall make payments on accounts of any mortgages, loans or credit obligations of the Project.
Section 3.10. Leasing. Manager shall be responsible for (a) the development and execution of a marketing program for the leasing of the Project (which program shall include, to the extent approved by Owner, the use of independent third party brokers to be paid commissions by Owner in accordance with rates approved by Owner) and (b) the negotiation of all tenant leases. Any such marketing program and lease negotiation process shall be conducted by Manager in strict accordance with leasing guidelines approved by Owner. Manager shall use reasonable diligence to obtain desirable tenants for the Project, including the procurement and investigation of references of prospective tenants; provided, however, no lease shall be executed without Owner’s prior approval. On or before November 1 of each calendar year if appropriate by reason of anticipated vacancies, Manager shall submit a marketing program for the following calendar year (including advertising plans and promotional materials and the estimated costs thereof) to Owner for approval. Manager shall not be entitled to any separate fee for any leasing or reletting of space in the Project except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.
Section 3.11. Compliance with Laws. Unless otherwise provided herein, Manager shall (prior to the imposition of any interest or penalty on Owner) use reasonable diligence to comply (or cause others to comply) with federal, state and municipal laws, ordinances, regulations, rules and orders applicable to the management, operation and
- 8 -
maintenance of the Project and with the rules and regulations of the local Board of Fire Underwriters or other similar body. Manager shall promptly remedy any known violation of any such law, ordinance, rule, regulation or order to the extent (i) such remedy is within the control of Manager and (ii) sufficient funds are available in the Operating Account (as defined in Section 6.01) to pay for such remedy; provided, however, that if, in Manager’s reasonable opinion, compliance with any such law, ordinance, rule, regulation or order is not in the best interests of Owner, then Manager shall promptly notify Owner thereof and thereafter shall take only such action to comply therewith as may be necessary to protect the interests of Manager or as may be directed by Owner and, if the action so directed by Owner involves legal proceedings, Manager may, at the expense of Owner, retain counsel approved by Owner in connection therewith. Manager shall promptly notify Owner of known violations which are unable to be remedied by Manager in accordance herewith. In complying with such laws and remedying any violations, Manager may retain such consultants, construction managers, contractors, architects or similar parties who are reasonably necessary in order to perform any required work hereunder; provided, however, that (subject to the rights of Manager in the event of an emergency as provided in Section 3.2) Manager shall not, without the consent of Owner, incur any material expense not included in the approved Annual Plan.
Section 3.12. Legal Proceedings. If Manager shall have knowledge of any suit or other proceeding instituted or threatened against Owner, or of any circumstance which may entitle Owner to assert a claim or seek a remedy of any kind on account of any matter concerning the Project, Manager shall give Owner all information in Manager’s possession in respect thereof, and shall at all times assist and cooperate with Owner in the defense of any such suit or other proceeding and, to the extent directed by Owner, shall for Owner’s account, and at
- 9 -
Owner’s expense, retain counsel approved by Owner and prosecute any such claim or remedy to which Owner may be entitled.
Section 3.13. General. Manager shall generally do all things reasonably deemed necessary or desirable by Owner, for Owner’s account and at Owner’s expense, for the proper management, operation and maintenance of the Project, as a first-class office building development. Manager shall furnish Owner with complete information with respect to its management activities, and Owner shall have the right to participate in all such activities. At the request of Owner or the General Partner of Owner, Manager shall provide assistance to Owner and the General Partner in the implementation of any decision made by the partners of Owner.

3
without limitation, any material acquisition of assets or any merger, consolidation, tender offer or similar transaction.
Section 2.2 Obligations of the Trust. Whenever required under Section 2.1 to effect the registration of any of the Registrable Securities, the Trust shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use reasonable efforts to (i) cause such registration statement to become effective in order to permit the sale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof described in such registration statement and (ii) maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement as to the Registrable Securities covered thereby until the earlier of (A) the date on which the Holders no longer hold any of the Registrable Securities covered thereby or any of the Applicable Units to which the Registrable Securities covered thereby relate, or (B) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities included in such registration statement have ceased to constitute Registrable Securities, after which the Trust may deregister such Registrable Securities;
(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement for the period set forth in paragraph (a) above;

(d) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act applicable to the Trust with respect to the disposition of all of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition by the Holders;
(e) use reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders; provided, however, that the Trust shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions;
(f) (i) promptly notify the Holders, and, if requested, confirm such notification in writing, (A) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement has been filed with the SEC and when the registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has been filed with and declared effective by the SEC, (B) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order or the coming to its knowledge of the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (C) of the receipt by the Trust of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, (D) of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any
4
changes to the registration statement or related prospectus so that such documents will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (E) of the Trust’s determination that the filing of a post-effective amendment to the registration statement shall be necessary or appropriate; and (ii) upon the occurrence of any event of the kind described in clauses (B), (C) (but only with respect to the jurisdiction suspending qualification), (D) or (E), above, as promptly as practicable thereafter, take such action as shall be necessary to remedy such event to permit the Holders to continue to offer and dispose of the Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, preparing and filing with the SEC and furnishing to the Holders a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter deliverable to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(g) make available to the Holders and any attorney, accountant or other agent or representative retained by the Holders (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Trust, as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Trust’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such registration statement, subject, in each case, to such confidentiality agreements as the Trust shall reasonably request;

Section 2.3 Obligations of the Holder.
(a) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of the Trust to register the Registrable Securities of any Holder pursuant to Section 2.1 that such Holder shall furnish to the Trust, upon request, such information regarding itself, its Registrable Securities and the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities.
(b) Each Holder shall (i) offer to sell or otherwise distribute the Registrable Securities in reliance upon a registration contemplated by this Agreement only after a registration statement shall have been filed with the SEC, (ii) sell or otherwise distribute the
5
Registrable Securities in reliance upon a registration only after a registration statement has been filed and declared effective under the Securities Act, (iii) upon the receipt of any notice from the Trust of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 2.2(f)(i)(B), (C) (but only with respect to the jurisdiction suspending qualification), (D) or (E), forthwith discontinue any offer and disposition of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until such time as the Trust shall have remedied such event or prepared an appropriate amendment or supplement to the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities and, if so directed by the Trust, deliver to the Trust all copies of the defective prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that are then in such Holder’s possession or control, (iv) distribute the Registrable Securities in reliance upon a registration contemplated by this Agreement only in accordance with the manner of distribution contemplated by the prospectus and (v) report to the Trust distributions made by such Holder of Registrable Securities pursuant to the prospectus.

(d) If the Trust is issuing or selling equity securities to the public in an underwritten offering, and the managing underwriter or underwriters for such underwritten offering so request, the Holders shall refrain from effecting any public sale or distribution of Registrable Securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such Registrable Securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act, for a period commencing on the tenth (10th) day prior to the date such underwritten offering commences (such offering being deemed to commence for this purpose on the later of the effective date for the registration statement for such offering or, if applicable, the date of the prospectus supplement for such offering) and ending 90 days after such underwritten offering commences; provided that all officers and directors of the Trust and holders of at least five percent (5%) of the Trust’s Shares enter into similar agreements and subject to any concession (such as early release from such lock-up) granted to any such officers, directors or holders.
Section 2.4 Expenses of Registration. Except as specifically provided herein, all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration shall be borne by the Trust. All Selling Expenses incurred in connection with any such registrations shall be borne by the Holders.
Section 2.5 Indemnification. With respect to Registrable Securities that are included in a registration statement under Section 2.1:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Trust shall indemnify and hold harmless the Holders, their respective Affiliates, partners, officers, directors, stockholders and
6
agents, and any other person who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Holder Indemnitees”), against any losses, claims, damages, expenses, judgments or liabilities (joint or several) to which any Holder Indemnitee may become subject, including any amount paid in settlement of any litigation commenced or threatened (unless such settlement is effected without the consent of the Trust, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and shall promptly reimburse each Holder Indemnitee, as and when incurred, for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Holder Indemnitee in connection with investigating any claims and defending any actions, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses, judgments or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) shall arise out of or shall be based upon (i) any violation or alleged violation by the Trust of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other securities laws, relating to action taken or action or inaction required of the Trust in connection with such offering, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement (or in any final prospectus included therein) relating to the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or in any document incorporated by reference therein, or (iii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.5(a)(ii) and (iii) shall not apply to a Holder in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, expense, judgment, liability or action arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or any omission or alleged omission, if such statement or omission shall have been (A) made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Trust in writing by or on behalf of such Holder Indemnitee for inclusion in such registration statement (including any final prospectus contained therein), or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or (B) made in any preliminary prospectus and the final prospectus shall have corrected such statement or omission and a copy of such final prospectus shall have been delivered to such Holder Indemnitee prior to the time such final prospectus is required to be delivered by such Holder Indemnitee under applicable law and such loss, claim, damage, expense, judgment, liability or action arises out of such Holder’s failure to deliver such final prospectus in compliance with applicable law.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust, each of its officers and trustees, each person, if any, who controls the Trust within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and any other Holder Indemnitee (collectively, the “Trust Indemnitees”), against any losses, claims, damages, expenses, judgments or liabilities (joint or several) to which any Trust Indemnitee may become subject, including any amount paid in settlement of any litigation commenced or threatened (unless such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and shall promptly reimburse each Trust Indemnitee, as and when incurred, for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Trust Indemnitee in connection with investigating any claims and defending any actions, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses, judgments or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) shall arise out of or shall be based upon (i) any violation by such Holder of Section 5 of the Securities Act in connection with such offering (other than as a result of such a violation by the Trust or any other person other than such Holder), (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement (or in any final prospectus included therein) relating to the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto,
7
or in any document incorporated by reference therein, or (iii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.5(b)(ii) and (iii) shall only apply in any such case (A) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, expense, judgment, liability or action arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement contained in, or a material fact omitted from, information furnished to the Trust in writing by or on behalf of such Holder for inclusion in the registration statement (or in any final prospectus included therein), and (B) if any such untrue statement or material omission is incorporated by the Trust in any preliminary prospectus, to the extent that such statement or omission shall not have been corrected in writing by or on behalf of such Holder prior to the time the final prospectus is required to be delivered by the Trust under applicable law.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.5 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.5, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.5 to the extent of such prejudice, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.5.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.5 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the circumstances that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
8
(e) The obligations of the Trust and the Holders under this Section 2.5 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement and the termination of this Agreement. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
Section 2.6 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Trust to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Article II may be assigned by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities or Applicable Units that (a) is an Affiliate of such Holder, or (b) is a member of such Holder’s immediate family or is a trust for the benefit of such Holder or a member of such Holder’s immediate family; provided, however, that (i) within ten days after such transfer, the transferring Holder furnishes to the Trust written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned, and (ii) such transferee agrees to be subject to all restrictions set forth in this Agreement.
Section 2.7 Information Blackout.
(a) At any time when a registration statement covering Registrable Securities is effective, upon written notice from the Trust to the Holders that the Trust has determined reasonably and in good faith that the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement would require disclosure of material non-public information, the disclosure of which at such time could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business or affairs of the Trust or a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Trust or any of its subsidiaries to engage in any extraordinary engagement or activity, including, without limitation, any material acquisition of assets or any merger, consolidation, tender offer or similar transaction, the Holders shall suspend sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement until the earlier of (i) forty-five (45) days after the Trust notifies the Holders of such good faith determination, or (ii) such time as the Trust notifies the Holders that such material information has been disclosed to the public or has ceased to be material or that sales pursuant to the registration statement may otherwise be resumed (the number of days from such suspension of sales by the Holders until the day when such sales may be resumed hereunder being hereinafter referred to as the “Sales Blackout Period”).
(b) In no event shall the Trust be permitted to impose Registration Deferral Periods or Sales Blackout Periods that, collectively, extend for more than ninety (90) days in any given twelve (12) month period.
Section 2.8 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations under the Securities Act that may at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Shares to the public without registration, at all times that the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Trust shall use its reasonable efforts to:
9
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
(b) file with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Trust under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and
(c) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities (or Applicable Units), furnish to such Holder forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Trust as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Trust, and (iii) such other reports and documents of the Trust as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing such Holder to sell any such securities without registration.
