(b) No Change in Control or Severance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that neither the Distribution nor any other transaction contemplated by the Separation Agreement or this Agreement shall (i) constitute or be deemed to constitute a “change in control” or similar corporate transaction impacting the vesting or payment of any amounts or benefits for purposes of any HHH Benefit Arrangement or Seaport Entertainment Benefit Arrangement, or (ii) trigger any benefits under the Howard Hughes Management Co., LLC Separation Benefits Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, no Continuing HHH Employee or Transferring Employee shall (A) terminate or be deemed to terminate employment with HHH solely by virtue of the consummation of the Distribution, any transfer of employment contemplated hereby, or any related transactions or events contemplated by the Separation Agreement or this Agreement, or (B) become entitled to any severance, termination or separation pay, or similar rights, payments or benefits, whether under any Benefit Arrangement or otherwise, in connection with any of the foregoing.

(d) Employment Offers. Prior to the Distribution Date, a member of the Seaport Entertainment Group shall provide a written offer of employment to the employees listed on

Schedule 3.1(d) (the “Delayed Transferring Employees”), to take effect on the date that such employee’s visa or other work authorization is transferred or otherwise able to be sponsored by a member of the Seaport Entertainment Group. Such employees shall be considered to be Transferring Employees for purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise described in their employment offer letters with a member of the Seaport Entertainment Group.

(e) No Change in Compensation, Benefits or Severance. From the Effective Time through December 31, 2024, the Seaport Entertainment Group shall pay or cause to be provided (including pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement) to the Transferring Employees the same base compensation and eligibility for substantially all of the same employee benefits that they received or were eligible to participate in immediately prior to the Effective Time. With respect to qualifying terminations of employment from the Seaport Entertainment Group occurring during the period beginning on the Effective Time and ending on December 31, 2024, the Seaport Entertainment Group shall cause to be provided (including pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement) to the Transferring Employees eligibility for severance benefits on substantially the same terms and conditions as applied to such Transferring Employee under the Howard Hughes Management Co., LLC Separation Benefits Plan as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

3.2 At Will Status. Nothing in this Agreement shall create any obligation on the part of any Party to (a) continue the employment of any employee or other service provider following the date of this Agreement or the Effective Time (except as required by applicable Law) for any specific period of time, or (b) change the at-will employment status of any employee.

3.3 Personnel Records.

(a) Transfer of Personnel Records.

For the avoidance of doubt, the HHH Group may retain copies of the Transferring Employee Personnel Records to the extent necessary to administer the HHH Benefit Arrangements and other obligations related to the Transferring Employees, and in no event shall the HHH Group be required to provide any additional personnel records to the Seaport Entertainment Group, except to the extent necessary for the Seaport Entertainment Group to administer the Seaport Entertainment Benefit Arrangements or to meet its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Sharing of Information. Until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Party and each Party’s Affiliates shall provide, in a timely manner, to the other Party and, if requested, the other Party’s Affiliates and its or their respective agents and vendors all information and documentation necessary for each Party to perform their respective duties under this Agreement. The Parties also hereby agree to enter into any business associate arrangements that may be required for the sharing of any information and documentation pursuant to this Agreement to comply with the requirements of HIPAA.

(c) Access to Records and Record Retention. To the extent that the transfer of the Transferring Employee Personnel Records is not permitted by applicable Law in accordance with Section 3.3(a), the HHH Group shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, permit the Seaport Entertainment Group and their successors and their authorized representatives to have full access upon reasonable notice during normal business hours to all Transferring Employee Personnel Records for a period of at least six (6) years following the Effective Time to the extent reasonably necessary in order for the Seaport Entertainment Group or successors to respond to a subpoena, court order, audit, investigation or otherwise as required by applicable Law or in connection with any pending or threatened lawsuits, actions, arbitrations, claims, complaints, investigations or other proceedings.

Such Seaport Entertainment Restricted Stock Award shall vest in full on the end date of the original performance period of the applicable HHH Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award, subject to the individual’s continued service to the Seaport Entertainment Group through such vesting date (and further subject to any provisions contained in the applicable HHH Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award providing for accelerated vesting of any service-based vesting conditions in the event of a termination of the individual’s employment or otherwise).

(b) Performance Based on NAV Growth.

(i) Continuing HHH Employees. Each HHH Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award which vests based on achievement of HHH NAV (or adjusted NAV) that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a Continuing HHH Employee shall be adjusted, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, into a post-Distribution HHH Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award that covers a number of post-Distribution shares of HHH Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of shares of HHH Stock covered by the HHH Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (y) the HHH Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share. Such post-Distribution HHH Performance Based Restricted Stock Award shall remain subject to the same terms and conditions after the Effective Time as applied to such HHH Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, that for purposes of measuring the NAV (or adjusted NAV) per share growth rate under the post-Distribution HHH Performance Based Restricted Stock Award, the portion of the base NAV (or adjusted NAV) attributable to Seaport Entertainment Group (or the assets thereof), as determined by HHH, shall be excluded from the base NAV (or adjusted NAV) per share.

(ii) Transferring Employees. Each HHH Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award which vests based on achievement of HHH NAV (or adjusted NAV) that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a Transferring Employee shall be canceled and converted, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, into a Seaport Entertainment Restricted Stock Award that covers a number of shares of Seaport Entertainment

Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of shares of HHH Stock covered by the HHH Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (y) the Seaport Entertainment Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share. Such Seaport Entertainment Restricted Stock Award shall vest in full on the end date of the original performance period of the applicable HHH Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award, subject to the individual’s continued service to the Seaport Entertainment Group through such vesting date (and further subject to any provisions contained in the applicable HHH Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award providing for accelerated vesting of any service-based vesting conditions in the event of a termination of the individual’s employment or otherwise).

4.5 Miscellaneous Terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in an HHH Equity Plan: (a) the Distribution shall not, in and of itself, constitute a termination of employment or service for any Transferring Employee for purposes of any HHH Stock Option or HHH Restricted Stock Award, as applicable, held by such Transferring Employee, and (b) with respect to awards adjusted in accordance with this Article IV, following the Effective Time, the vesting and forfeiture of adjusted HHH Stock Options and/or HHH Restricted Stock Awards held by Transferring Employees shall be based on employment with or service to, as applicable, the Seaport Entertainment Group and its Affiliates; provided, that the vesting and forfeiture of such awards held by Delayed Transferring Employees shall be based on employment with the HHH Group and its Affiliates until such time as the Delayed Transferring Employee’s employment with the HHH Group terminates and such Delayed Transferring Employee is hired by the Seaport Entertainment Group (and, thereafter, shall be based on employment with the Seaport Entertainment Group and its Affiliates). The vesting and forfeiture of Seaport Entertainment Stock Options held by Continuing HHH Employees and HHH Non-Employee Directors shall be based on employment with or service to, as applicable, the HHH Group and its Affiliates. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the post-Distribution HHH Restricted Stock Awards, HHH Stock Options, Seaport Entertainment Restricted Stock Awards and Seaport Entertainment Stock Options will otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions after the Effective Time as applied to the applicable HHH Restricted Stock Award or HHH Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time.

4.6 Cooperation. If the HHH Group or the Seaport Entertainment Group determines in its reasonable judgment that any action required under this Article IV will not achieve the intended Tax, accounting and legal results with respect to the adjusted HHH Stock Options and/or HHH Restricted Stock Awards, including the intended results under Section 409A of the Code or FASB ASC Topic 718 – Stock Compensation, then at the request of the HHH Group or the Seaport Entertainment Group, as applicable, the HHH Group and the Seaport Entertainment Group shall mutually cooperate in taking such actions as are commercially reasonable and generally consistent with the terms of this Agreement to achieve such results, or most nearly achieve such results if the originally intended results are not fully attainable.

As soon as practicable following the claim submission deadline under the HHH Cafeteria Plan for claims incurred in the calendar year in which the Distribution Date occurred, the HHH Group shall determine the aggregate accumulated contributions to the flexible spending reimbursement accounts under the HHH Cafeteria Plan made during such year by the Transferring Employees less the aggregate reimbursement payouts made for such year from such accounts to such Transferring Employees (the “Net FSA Balance”).
