27



                              (ii)         that a legal and valid Temporary Occupancy Permit has been issued by the Competent Authorities which permits the opening of the Development Project to the public and the commercial utilization of the Development Project in all material respects; and

                    (e) Vendor further undertakes to ensure that the works specified in the Completion Punch List are executed and completed and to ensure the fulfillment of such conditions as shall be necessary to obtain a Final Occupancy Permit within a period not exceeding 6 (six) months from the date of issue of the Certificate of Practical Completion, save in respect of such works the completion of which is mandated within a shorter period by Order of an Government Body, or such works the non-performance of which would constitute an offense under applicable Law or regulations or disrupt the normal commercial utilization of the Development Project.

                    (f) Any matters regarding the Practical Completion of the Development Project in respect of which this Agreement is silent, shall be resolved in the first instance in accordance with the provisions of the Construction Documentation and the Construction Agreement, or in the second instance in accordance with the then prevailing “Red-Book” FIDIC standards.

In the absence of such written notice confirming that the Conditions Precedent for Delivery have been fulfilled or waived, and in the event that Purchaser shall not have furnished Vendor with an CP Defect Notice in terms of §4.5(c) below by the end of the Supplemental Due Diligence Period, then and in such event Purchaser shall be deemed to have confirmed that the Conditions Precedent for Delivery have been satisfied. The Parties anticipate that the CP Satisfaction Date shall occur on or about November 20th, 2007.

                    (c) Purchaser shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to waive the fulfillment of such Conditions Precedent for Delivery, either entirely or on such terms and conditions as it deems fit, by serving written notice to that effect upon Vendor.

                              (ii)     Purchaser shall be entitled, in its sole and unfettered discretion, to waive the fulfillment of the Conditions Precedent for Delivery;

                              (iii)     Alternatively, Purchaser shall be entitled at its option to extend the Long Stop Date by an additional period not to exceed 6 (six) months, provided that in such event it undertakes to extend the validity of the Payment Guarantee referred to in §§ 7.1

                              (iv)     Without derogating from the aforegoing, the Parties undertake to co-operate, to act in good faith and to exert their best endeavours to resolve the inability of Vendor to fulfill the Conditions Precedent for Delivery to their mutual satisfaction (including the granting of indemnities where appropriate);

                              (v)     However, in the event that Purchaser shall have declined to waive the fulfillment of the Conditions Precedent for Delivery, or in the event that the Conditions Precedent for Delivery have still not been fulfilled on the expiry of the extended Long Stop Date as aforesaid, and the Parties are unable to resolve the deadlock by amicable means as aforesaid, then and in such event, both Purchaser and Vendor shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in terms of the provisions of § 16.1 below, provided that nothing herein contained shall prevent either Party from referring the dispute to arbitration in terms of the provisions of § 17.3 below.

          4.5    Supplemental Due Diligence

                    (a) During the 15 (fifteen) day period following the CP Satisfaction Notice Date (the “Supplemental Due Diligence Period”), Purchaser shall be entitled to conduct a supplementary due diligence investigation pertaining to the Development Companies and/or the Development Project, in order to verify:

                              (i)     that the Conditions Precedent for Delivery have been fulfilled in all material respects and to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser;

                              (ii)     the integrity of title in and to the Equity Rights in the Development Companies to be acquired by Purchaser on the Closing Date, and the absence of Liens, other than Permitted Liens; and

                              (iii)     the integrity of title in and to the Project Property and/or Development Project and/or the Kerepesi Land, and the absence of Liens other than Permitted Liens.

                    (b) Vendor shall co-operate, and shall procure that the Development Companies co-operate with Purchaser so as to enable Purchaser to conduct its supplemental due diligence investigations in a timely and expeditious manner, and in any event to conclude same on or before the end of the Supplemental Due Diligence Period. To that end, Vendor undertakes to furnish Purchaser with its periodic management reports throughout the Construction Period, and to provide Purchaser with all documentation pertaining to the fulfillment of the Conditions Precedent for Delivery as soon as they become available. Additionally, Vendor shall furnish Purchaser with copies of all Lease Agreements signed prior to the CP Satisfaction Date on a monthly basis and after the CP Satisfaction Notice Date, as and when they are signed.

30



                    (c) Purchaser undertakes to act in good faith in order to carry out and conclude its supplemental due diligence as expeditiously as possible so as to facilitate the Closing. Additionally, Purchaser undertakes to notify Vendor promptly if it discovers any matter which does not comply with the Conditions Precedent for Delivery (a “CP Defect Notice”), so as to allow Vendor a period of 30 Business Days from the date of the relevant CP Defect Notice (“CP Defect Resolution Period”) to rectify such relevant matters to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser. To the extent that any matter the subject of a CP Defect Notice is not resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the Purchaser within the CP Defect Resolution Period, the Purchaser shall notify Vendor with another CP Defect Notice stating the reasons for non-compliance and requesting resolution of such defect within another CP Defect Resolution Period. This process shall be repeated until the earlier of the resolution of the CP Defect or the Long Stop Date.

                    (b) The transfer of the possession and control of the Development Project as aforesaid shall not derogate from the assumption by Vendor of the Development Liabilities in terms of the provisions of § 3.10 above.

                    (c) Following Closing, Purchaser undertakes to procure that the Development Companies maintain the Development Project in a good, proper and efficient state of operation and repair at all times prior to the Final Price Adjustment Date.

Vendor shall keep the Management Company fully informed and in a timely manner of the progress made during the Lease-Up Period by way of periodic written reports to be issued not less than every 30(thirty) days. In addition, Vendor shall permit an observer on behalf of the Management Company to participate in all meetings with the tenants, and shall ensure that the observer is given reasonable advance notice of the conduct of such meetings so as to enable his participation, provided that such observer shall not be entitled to participate in the negotiations with the tenants and shall refrain from any act or omission which may influence the negotiations with the tenants.

                    (c) For the purposes of this Article V, the term “Lease-Up Period” shall mean the period commencing on the Closing Date and terminating on the earlier of (i) the 1st (first) anniversary of the Closing Date; or (ii) the Lease-Up Break-Off Date (as hereinafter defined).

                    (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of § 5.2 above, Vendor shall have the option in its sole discretion to dis-continue its lease-up activities following delivery at any time during the Lease-Up Period, provided that it shall be required to furnish Purchaser, the Management Company and the Development Companies with not less than 14 (fourteen) days advance written notice of its intention to do so, and specifying the date upon which the dis-continuance of its lease-up activities shall take effect (the “Lease-Up Break-Off Date”).

32

          5.4    General Provisions relating to Lease-Up.

                    (a) All units shall be leased in compliance with the Lease-Up Strategies. Primary Areas shall be leased to Good Standing Tenants only, subject to the provisions of § 2.8(b) above.

                    (b) Unless otherwise approved by Purchaser in advance, Vendor shall systematically and exclusively use the Standard Form Lease in respect of all tenants of the Primary Areas, and the standard form attached as Exhibit II to the Lease-Up Strategies Schedule in respect of all tenants of the Secondary Areas, (save in respect of (i) Excepted Leases; and (ii) those units where the use of a different format is contractually mandated, such as upon the execution of an option by the tenant). Vendor undertakes to report to Purchaser prior to the finalization of any lease negotiation, specifying any material deviations from the Standard Form Lease, using a standard reporting format in agreed form. All material modifications to the Standard Form Lease, whether general or tenant specific, which are not in compliance with the Lease-Up Strategies shall require the advance approval of Purchaser not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that if Purchaser shall not have responded within 5 (five) Business Days of its receipt of the reporting schedule setting out the proposed modifications, it shall be deemed to have approved same.

                    (c) At the Closing, each of the Development Companies and the Management Company shall award to Vendor a special mandate and power of attorney in agreed form, so as to enable Vendor to carry out its lease-up responsibilities in terms of this Article during the Lease-Up Period. Vendor shall be entitled to delegate all or part of the powers and authorities vested in terms of the said powers of attorney to a leasing agent, as contemplated in § 5.4(d) below. It is agreed and understood that the power of attorney awarded to Vendor will specifically exclude the power or authority to sign and execute the leases (or any amendment thereto) for and on the behalf of the representatives of the Development Companies, which shall require the signature of the authorized signatories of the Development Companies. Vendor shall be required, and hereby undertakes, to present all Lease Agreements to be signed with tenants following the Closing Date to the Development Companies for signature and execution. However it is hereby specifically agreed and understood that:

                              (i)     Purchaser and/or the Development Companies may not refuse to execute any lease in Standard Form Lease which complies with the Lease-Up Strategies Schedule; and

                              (ii)     where amendments or modification to the Standard Form Lease are entailed, and in respect of leases with Critical Tenants, the Purchaser and/or the relevant Development Company may not unreasonably or arbitrarily withhold or delay its consent to the amendment and execution of such lease agreements

                    (d) Vendor shall be entitled to engage the services of a reputable leasing agent approved by Purchaser in advance, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Furthermore, subject to Purchaser’s rights of prior approval as aforesaid, Vendor shall be entitled to replace or substitute its leasing agent in its discretion. Subject to the aforegoing, Vendor hereby notifies Purchaser that it has appointed Messrs. Cushman & Wakefield as its leasing agents.

33



                    (e) Vendor undertakes to fulfill its lease-up responsibilities in terms of this Article in a diligent, timely and efficient manner, and shall cause the leasing agent so to act.

                    (f) Vendor shall render the Lease-Up services in terms hereof without consideration. Accordingly, Purchaser, the relevant Management Company and the relevant Development Companies shall be under no obligation to pay any commissions, commercialization fees or other forms of remuneration to Vendor in respect of such services, nor shall the award of the power of attorney to Vendor in terms of sub-section (c) above be deemed to impose any obligation upon Purchaser and/or the Development Companies and/or the Management Company to make such payments. All costs incurred by Vendor in the rendering of the Lease-Up Services, including any fees due and payable to leasing agents appointed by it in terms of sub-section (b) above, shall be borne and paid solely by Vendor.

                    (g) For the avoidance of doubt, it is further specifically agreed and understood that the Management Company will not assume any Development Liability whatsoever, and Vendor undertakes to ensure that the Management Company is indemnified and held harmless in respect of all such liability.

                   (e) Subject to rights of or duties to any insurer or other third Person having liability therefor, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, to defend the Indemnitee against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnitee in writing within 15 days after the Indemnitee has given notice of the Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnitee from and against the entirety of any damage the Indemnitee may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim, and provided further that the Indemnifying Party may not assume such control without Indemnitee’s express written consent if: (i) the Third Party Claim does not involve only money damages but also seeks an injunction or other equitable relief; or (ii) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnitee, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests or the reputation of the Indemnitee.

                   (g) In the event that Indemnifying Party declines or fails to assume control of the defense of any Third Party Claim as specified in § 15.3(e) above, then the Indemnitee may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate, subject to the consent of the Indemnifying Party which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnifying Parties will reimburse the Indemnitee promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), and will remain responsible for any Damage the Indemnitee may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Article XV.

68
