The parties hereto acknowledge that the Price was calculated, in part, based on the trailing net operating income of the Property, and the Price shall not be adjusted to account for any change in net operating income. Cedar shall pay the Price to the REIT Sub or its designated assignee pursuant to Section 2(c), and in consideration therefor, Cedar and RioCan Holdings and REIT shall cause the REIT Sub to assign the Interests to Cedar or its designee and Cedar shall pay the Price to the REIT Sub or such designated assignee by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account or accounts designated by the REIT Sub.

(b) Cedar shall, at its cost and expense, (i) comply with all obligations under the documents and instruments securing, evidencing or otherwise related to the Loan with respect to the Transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts commencing promptly after the date hereof to obtain, effective as of the Closing Date, from the Lender its written approval or agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to RioCan Holdings, REIT AND REIT Sub and Cedar, of the substitution of REIT Sub by Cedar as the guarantor under the Guarantee and the release of REIT Sub as guarantor thereunder (the “Guarantor Replacement and Release”). If the Lender shall condition the Guarantor Replacement and Release upon modifying the applicable organizational documents of the Property Owner, or any other modifications of the Loan documents that do not materially increase the liabilities (including, without limitation, potential tax liabilities) or materially limit the rights or economic benefits of Cedar, Cedar shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy any such requirements to the satisfaction of the Lender. Cedar and RioCan Holdings, REIT and REIT Sub agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other in connection with the foregoing (including, without limitation, promptly furnishing to Lender all information and documents (financial and otherwise) which may be required under the Loan or otherwise reasonably requested by the Lender). Cedar shall keep RioCan Holdings, REIT and REIT Sub reasonably informed as to the status of compliance with the terms of this Section 2(b) including, without limitation, providing RioCan Holdings, REIT and REIT Sub with copies of all material correspondence received or delivered in connection therewith contemporaneously with such receipt or delivery.

(c) REIT may, at the request of RioCan Holdings, cause the REIT Sub to sell the Interests as part of a tax-deferred exchange of real estate pursuant to the provisions of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time and shall be entitled to use a third-party intermediary as part of the tax-deferred exchange, and Cedar shall, at no cost or expense to Cedar, reasonably cooperate with REIT to accomplish such tax-deferred exchange(s). Further to the foregoing, REIT may require the proceeds of the sale of the Interests to be paid to and retained in escrow by an escrow agreement pending the tax-deferred exchange(s). In furtherance of the foregoing, REIT reserves the right to assign its rights, but not its obligations, hereunder to a “Qualified Intermediary” as provided in IRC Reg.1.1031(k)-1(g)(4), or to an “Exchange Accommodation Titleholder” as described in Revenue Procedure 93-27, on or before the Closing Date hereunder. RioCan Holdings shall defend, indemnify and hold the Cedar Related Parties harmless of, from and against any and all damages, claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation reasonable legal fees and expenses) arising out of, or in connection with, such tax-deferred exchange. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the Closing.

(d) For US federal income tax purposes, the seller of the Interests under this Agreement shall be the REIT.

3. Closing.

The closing (“Closing”) of the Transactions shall occur at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on or about October 1, 2012, as such date may be extended to allow the closing under the Other Agreement to occur immediately thereafter (the “Closing Date”). TIME SHALL BE OF THE ESSENCE with respect to the obligations of the parties hereto to close the Transaction immediately prior to the closing under the Other Purchase Agreement. The Closing shall occur at the offices of the Escrow Agent through an escrow and pursuant to escrow instructions consistent with the terms of this Agreement and otherwise mutually satisfactory to Cedar and RioCan Holdings, REIT and REIT Sub. The Closing shall constitute approval by each of the parties of all matters to which such party has a right of approval and a waiver of all conditions precedent related to the Transactions.

4. Closing Costs.

Costs in connection with the Transaction shall be allocated as follows:

(a) Cedar will be responsible for the following costs and expenses due and payable in connection with the purchase of the Interests: (A) any and all state and local recording charges and fees; (B) all of the costs, expenses and charges in connection with the Guarantor Replacement and Release; (C) 50% of any escrow fees charged by the Escrow Agent; and (D) any and all state and local deed taxes, real property transfer taxes, controlling-interest taxes and similar taxes with respect to the purchase of the Interests (if any);

(c) Cedar shall pay all costs and expenses associated with (A) record searches, title examinations and updated owner title insurance policies (including endorsements thereto), if any, desired by it; and (B) any new or updated surveys, any title insurance policy and/or endorsements insuring or otherwise providing coverage to Cedar, the Property Owner or any other Person; and
