Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     On October 8, 2004, Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (“PREIT”) entered into a Contribution Agreement with Cumberland Mall Management, Inc., Pan American Associates, and Cumberland Mall Investment Associates to purchase 100% of the partnership interests in Cumberland Mall Associates, a New Jersey limited partnership that owns the Cumberland Mall in Vineland, New Jersey. The total purchase price will be approximately $59.5 million, including the assumption of $47.9 million in mortgage debt. The first mortgage is with Wachovia Bank and is for $44.0 million. It has an interest rate of 6.5% and a maturity date of December 2012. The second mortgage is with SunTrust Bank and is for $3.9 million. It has an interest rate of 5.0% and a maturity date of February 2014. The remaining portion of the purchase price will include approximately $10.5 million of units to be issued by PREIT’s operating partnership, which will be valued based on the average of the closing price of PREIT’s common shares on the ten consecutive trading days immediately before the closing date of the transaction. At the option of the owners of Cumberland Mall Associates, up to $1.25 million of the purchase price may be paid in cash in lieu of operating partnership units. A copy of the Contribution Agreement is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

     Cumberland Mall is an approximately 925,000 square foot mall and is anchored by Boscov’s, JC Penney and Value City, and currently has 62 in-line tenants, including American Eagle Outfitters, Gap, Old Navy and Victoria’s Secret. As of August 31, 2004, the in-line occupancy rate for the mall was 98.8% and its in-line sales volume for the trailing twelve months was $328 per square foot. Adjacent to the mall are several outparcel tenants including BJ’s Wholesale Club, which owns its land and building, and Home Depot and Regal Cinemas, which own their buildings subject to ground leases from the mall’s owner. In a related transaction, PREIT’s operating partnership has reached an agreement with Hennis Road, L.L.C., an affiliate of the sellers, to acquire a vacant 1.7 acre land parcel adjacent to the mall for $800,000, which PREIT has included in the aggregate $59.5 million purchase price for the mall. A copy of this Acquisition Agreement is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated by reference herein.

     The transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2004, but is subject to customary closing conditions, including the satisfactory completion of PREIT’s due diligence and approval of the current mortgage lenders.

     PREIT-Rubin, Inc. has managed and leased the mall since 1997 for Cumberland Mall Associates. Ronald Rubin, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and a Trustee of PREIT, and George Rubin, a Vice Chairman and a Trustee of PREIT, control and have substantial ownership interests in Cumberland Mall Associates and the entity that owns the adjacent undeveloped parcel. Accordingly, a committee of non-management trustees was organized to evaluate the transactions on behalf of PREIT. The committee obtained an independent appraisal and found the purchase price to be fair to PREIT. The committee also approved the reduction of the fee payable by Cumberland Mall Associates to PREIT-Rubin, Inc. under the existing management agreement upon the sale of the mall from 3% of the purchase price to 1% of the purchase price. PREIT’s Board of Trustees also approved the transaction.

     This report contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and other matters that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements reflect PREIT’s current views about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that may cause future events, achievements or results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In particular, certain factors may cause PREIT not to consummate the proposed transaction on the terms described above, or at all, including, without limitation, the satisfaction of closing conditions applicable to the transaction (some of which are beyond PREIT’s control). PREIT does not intend to and disclaims any duty or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements set forth in this report to reflect new information, future events or otherwise. Investors are directed to consider the risks and uncertainties discussed in other documents PREIT has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and, in particular, PREIT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

EX-10 2 ex10-1.txt EXHIBIT 10.1 CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS IN CUMBERLAND MALL ASSOCIATES TO DESIGNEES OF PREIT ASSOCIATES, L.P. THIS CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made as of the 8th day of October, 2004, by and among CUMBERLAND MALL MANAGEMENT, INC., a Pennsylvania corporation ("GENERAL PARTNER"), PAN AMERICAN ASSOCIATES, a Pennsylvania limited partnership ("PAN AMERICAN"), and CUMBERLAND MALL INVESTMENT ASSOCIATES, a Pennsylvania limited partnership ("INVESTMENT ASSOCIATES") (Pan American and Investment Associates being referred to collectively as the "LIMITED PARTNERS" and, together with the General Partner, being collectively referred to as the "CONTRIBUTORS," and, each, a "CONTRIBUTOR"); 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 on November 14, 2003 ("PREIT"); and PREIT ASSOCIATES, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "UPREIT"). BACKGROUND ---------- A. The Contributors own 100% of the partnership interests in Cumberland Mall Associates, a New Jersey limited partnership (the "PARTNERSHIP") formed pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Cumberland Mall Associates dated January 26, 1998, as last amended __________________ (the "PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT"). General Partner owns 1% of such interests, Pan American owns 51% of such interests, and Investment Associates owns 48% of such interests. B. The Partnership is the owner of a retail shopping center project in Vineland, Cumberland County, New Jersey, containing approximately 929,000 square feet of retail space, known as the Cumberland Mall (the "PROPERTY"). The General Partner is the sole general partner of The Partnership, and the Limited Partners are all of the limited partners of The Partnership. The Property consists of two condominium units: Unit A and Unit B of a condominium known as Cumberland Mall Retail Condominium (the "Condominium"), created pursuant to a Master Deed recorded in Cumberland County in Deed Book 2638, Page 74, as amended. Unit A includes approximately 81.73 acres of land upon which Cumberland Mall is situate (other than the pad of the Boscov's store), plus all associated improvements thereon other than those owned by tenants, as well as a 67% undivided interest in Condominium common elements. Unit C includes the pad of the Boscov's store containing approximately 4.6 acres of land, plus all associated improvements thereon other than those owned by tenants, as well as a 21% undivided interest in Condominium common elements. The remaining Units of the Condominium, consisting of Units B-1 and B-2 and comprising approximately 11.2 acres of land, are owned by an entity affiliated with BJ's, and are utilized for a BJ's Wholesale Club. 1 C. The UPREIT has been formed pursuant to an Agreement of Limited Partnership of PREIT Associates, L.P. dated as of June 30, 1997, as amended and restated by a First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership dated September 30, 1997 and as last amended on November 17, 2003 (as the same may be amended from time to time in accordance with the provisions thereof, the "UPREIT PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT"). D. The Property is subject to existing secured indebtedness, consisting of (i) a first mortgage loan (the "FIRST LOAN") in favor of Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc. ("FIRST LENDER") (the first mortgage being hereinafter referred to as the "FIRST MORTGAGE" and the loan documents relating to the First Loan being collectively referred to as the "FIRST LOAN DOCUMENTS"), having an approximate current balance of $44.2 Million, and (ii) a second mortgage loan (the "SECOND LOAN") in favor of Enterprise Zone Development Corporation of Vineland and Millville ("SECOND LENDER") (the second mortgage being hereinafter referred to as the "SECOND MORTGAGE" and the loan documents relating to the Second Loan being collectively referred to as the "SECOND LOAN DOCUMENTS"), having an approximate current balance of $4.1 Million. 2 E. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the parties intend that the Contributors, in exchange for Class A limited partner interests in the UPREIT ("UPREIT UNITS") plus certain cash consideration, will contribute their partnership interests in the Partnership to two (2) Delaware limited liability companies to be formed and which will be solely owned by the UPREIT (one such limited liability company, being hereinafter referred to as "NEW GENERAL PARTNER," to acquire the interest of the General Partner, and the other, being hereinafter referred to as "NEW LIMITED PARTNER," to acquire the interests of the Limited Partners, such limited liability companies being hereinafter collectively referred to as the "NEW PARTNERS"); and that thereupon the Partnership Agreement of the Partnership will be amended. The interests of Contributors in the Partnership to be contributed to the UPREIT are herein referred to as the "TRANSFERRED INTERESTS". NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 3 SECTION 1. CONTRIBUTIONS. 1.1 Contributions at Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing (as defined herein), the Contributors shall contribute to the New Partners, and the New Partners shall acquire from such Contributors, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances of any type or nature, the Transferred Interests and all benefits and advantages to be derived therefrom, including, without limitation, all right, title and interest associated with the Transferred Interests in and to (i) the capital accounts of such Contributors, (ii) distributions by the Partnership, and (iii) allocable shares with respect to profits and losses of the Partnership. 1.2 Alternative General Partner Entity. As set forth herein, the Property shall, at Closing, remain subject to the First Mortgage and the Second Mortgage, and in such connection the consent of the First Lender and Second Lender will be required for, among other things, the transfer of the interest of the General Partner to the New General Partner as contemplated herein. In the event the First Lender requires that the interest of the General Partner be held by an entity which is not a limited liability company, and if such requirement is approved by the UPREIT as herein set forth, then the contribution of the interest of the General Partner shall be made to another form of entity which is owned by the UPREIT as is designated for such purpose, and such alternative entity shall be known as the New General Partner for all purposes of this Agreement. 4 SECTION 2. CONSIDERATION. 2.1 Agreed Consideration. The aggregate consideration to be paid for the contribution of the Transferred Interests, subject to adjustments and apportionments as herein set forth, shall be known as the "TRANSFER CONSIDERATION." The Transfer Consideration shall be equal to FIFTY EIGHT MILLION FOUR HUNDRED THIRTY NINE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED THIRTY SIX DOLLARS ($58,439,236). The Transfer Consideration shall be payable as follows: (a) Deposit. Within five (5) business days following execution of this Agreement, the UPREIT shall post a deposit ("DEPOSIT") of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) with First American Title Insurance Company (the "TITLE COMPANY"), or another escrow agent mutually approved by the UPREIT and the Contributors (in either case, the "ESCROW AGENT"), to be held in escrow at interest pending Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement. In the event (i) the UPREIT does not terminate this Agreement as a result of its due diligence investigations as set forth in Section 7.2(a)(i) herein, and (ii) the UPREIT shall default in its obligations to proceed to Closing hereunder, then the Deposit (plus interest earned thereon, if in the form of cash) shall be forfeited and paid to the Contributors as agreed-upon liquidated damages, in lieu of all other damages, rights or remedies of Contributors, and thereupon this Agreement shall be terminated without liability of any party except for such liabilities as may survive such termination by the express provisions of this Agreement. In the event Contributors shall default under this Agreement and this Agreement is terminated as a result, the Deposit (plus any interest earned thereon), shall be returned to the UPREIT and thereupon neither party shall have further liability hereunder except for such liabilities as may survive such termination by the express terms of this Agreement, provided that the UPREIT shall have such other rights, if any, as are specified in Section 11 below. If Closing occurs hereunder, the Deposit, plus any interest earned thereon, shall be paid to Contributors and credited against the Transfer Consideration. 5 (b) Credit for Debt. At Closing, and by reason of the Property remaining subject to the First Mortgage and the Second Mortgage, the UPREIT shall receive a credit against the Transfer Consideration for the aggregate outstanding aggregate principal indebtedness secured by the First Mortgage and the Second Mortgage. It is understood that the parties have applied to the First Lender and the Second Lender for approval to allow the First Mortgage and the Second Mortgage to remain in place following Closing. (c) Balance. Subject to the further adjustments and apportionments set forth in this Agreement, the balance of the Transfer Consideration shall be payable to Contributors at Closing by the issuance of UPREIT Units and/or cash, computed as follows: (i) Cash Portion. At the option of the Contributors, to be exercised by written notice to the UPREIT not less than ten (10) days prior to Closing, up to $1,250,000 of the Transfer Consideration shall be paid at Closing by wire transfer of federal funds to an account designated for such purpose by Contributors. (ii) Unit Portion. The balance of the Transfer Consideration, after taking into account all adjustments, apportionments, credit for the First Mortgage and Second Mortgage and any cash payable pursuant to subclause (i) above, shall be referred to as the "CUMBERLAND UNIT VALUE," and shall be payable by the issuance to each of the transferring Contributors the number of UPREIT Units computed as set forth in Section 2.2 below. 6 2.2 Unit Calculation. The Number of UPREIT Units to be issued to a Contributor shall be equal to the product of (A) the percentage interest in the Partnership represented by the Transferred Interest of such Contributor (i.e., the aggregate percentage of total interests in the Partnership represented by such Transferred Interest), and (B) the quotient obtained by dividing the Cumberland Unit Value by the average closing price of a share of the publicly traded beneficial interests of PREIT during the ten (10) trading day period immediately preceding Closing (the "AVERAGE CLOSING PRICE"); provided that the number of UPREIT Units so derived shall be rounded to the nearest integer (0.5 rounded down). Such issuance shall be further subject to the following provisions: (a) At the option of a Contributor which is a partnership or limited partnership (to be exercised by written notice to the UPREIT not less than twenty (20) days prior to Closing), in lieu of the UPREIT Units to be issued to such Contributor, the UPREIT shall issue directly to each of the constituent partners of such Contributor, such number of UPREIT Units as is calculated by multiplying (i) the total number of UPREIT Units to which the Contributor is entitled, by (ii) the percentage interest of the constituent partner in the Contributor in question; all as specified in reasonable detail in such written notice from Contributor to the UPREIT. Any such notice may be relied upon by the UPREIT without the necessity for further inquiry and shall be irrevocably binding upon such Contributor and all of its constituent partners. 7 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the UPREIT shall have the right and option to deliver to any constituent partner of a Contributor who is not an "accredited investor," as such term is defined under Regulation D promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "ACT"), in lieu of any UPREIT Units which would otherwise be issuable to such constituent partner pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Agreement, an amount of cash equal to the product of (i) the number of UPREIT Units otherwise issuable to such partner and (ii) the Average Closing Price. (c) If, after the date hereof, there shall occur any recapitalization, unit division, reverse division, unit re-issuance or any other transaction involving the UPREIT or PREIT whereby a Class A Unit of the UPREIT (as it exists on the date hereof) shall be reconstituted as a different number of Class A Units, and/or as a specified number of units having a different class or designation (in each case subject to the necessary requirements specified in the UPREIT Partnership Agreement), or if there shall occur any merger, consolidation or other transaction involving the UPREIT and/or PREIT whereby specified interests or units are substituted for a Class A Unit (or for the reconstituted UPREIT Units determined as aforesaid), then for purposes of computing the number of UPREIT Units to be issued under this Agreement, such reconstituted or substituted number of Class A UPREIT Units, and/or specified other UPREIT Units or interests, shall be substituted for each Class A Unit otherwise applicable hereunder. Any such substitution shall be accomplished in a manner that neither increases nor decreases the value of the UPREIT Units to be received by the Contributors as compared to other holders of Class A Units under the UPREIT Partnership Agreement. 8 SECTION 3. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS; PROPERTY INCLUSIONS. 3.1 The following definitions apply to this Agreement: (a) "AFFILIATE" means, with respect to any specified Person, any other Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such specified Person.

However, where the term "Property" is used with respect to particular representations or other operative provisions of this Agreement, and where the context clearly refers to one or more, but less than all, includable categories of the Property, such restricted context shall be applicable to the interpretation of the representation or provision in question. SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE CONTRIBUTORS. 4.1 As to the Contributors. For purposes hereof, the term "CONTRIBUTOR ENTITY" means the legal entity (i.e., limited partnership or corporation) which comprises a Contributor. Each Contributor severally, but not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to PREIT and the UPREIT as follows: (a) Organization. Each such Contributor Entity 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 the Partnership 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 such Contributor Entity (a "MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT"). 11 (b) Power and Authority. It has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and under the other agreements and documents required to be delivered by it prior to or at the Closing (collectively with this Agreement, and together with all documents and agreements required to be delivered by any of the Contributors, the "CONTRIBUTOR TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS"). The execution, delivery and performance by it of the Contributor Transaction Documents has been (or, as to documents to be delivered at a future date, will be at such date of delivery) duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Contributor Entity, and at the time of delivery constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Contributor 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 it of this Agreement does not, and the performance by it of all of the other Contributor 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) its articles of incorporation, bylaws, partnership agreement or other organizational documents, as the case may be, or (B) any Law applicable to such Contributor, or by or to which any assets or properties of such Contributor is bound or subject; 12 (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 such Contributor is a party or by which such Contributor or any assets or properties thereof is bound or affected; or (iii) result in, require or permit the creation or imposition of any lien or encumbrance upon or with respect to such Contributor or the Transferred Interests. (d) Authorizations. The execution and delivery by it of this Agreement does not, and the execution and delivery by such Contributor of the other Contributor Transaction Documents, and the performance by such Contributor of this Agreement and all of the Contributor Transaction Documents will not, require such Contributor 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, except for the required consents of the First Lender and the Second Lender as set forth herein. (e) Proceedings. There are no claims, actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or, to the knowledge of such Contributor, threatened or contemplated, involving or affecting it or any of its assets or properties or to its knowledge any of its directors, officers, partners, trustees or shareholders, that question any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or other Contributor Transaction Documents, or which, if adversely determined, would have a Material Adverse Effect or could materially and adversely affect such Contributor's ability to enter into or perform its obligations under this Agreement. 13 (f) Orders. No officer, director, partner, or, to the knowledge of such Contributor, employee or shareholder of such Contributor is subject to any order that prohibits such officer, director, partner, shareholder or employee from engaging in or continuing any conduct, activity or practice relating to its business with respect to the Partnership or the Property. (g) The Transferred Interests. (i) Such Contributor owns, beneficially and of record, the Transferred Interest as recited in Background Paragraph A above, free and clear of all liens, pledges and encumbrances of any type or nature. (ii) Except as set forth in the Existing Partnership Agreement, Contributor has granted no 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 the Partnership or the Property. (h) Brokers. No Person acting on behalf of such Contributor or any Affiliate of Contributor 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. In such connection, however, the parties acknowledge that a brokerage commission of One Percent (1%) of the Transfer Consideration will be due by reason of the Closing under this Agreement to Preit-Rubin, Inc. or an affiliated entity, which brokerage commission is to be paid by the Contributors, or which the Contributors shall cause the Partnership to pay at Closing. 14 (i) Accurate Disclosure. All documents and other papers delivered by or on behalf of such Contributor in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are accurate and complete in all material respects. (j) Investment Representations. (i) Each Contributor acknowledges that the UPREIT Units to be issued pursuant to Section 2 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 Contributors' representations, warranties and acknowledgements set forth in this section. (ii) Each Contributor is an accredited investor as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act.

In connection with any entry onto the Property, the UPREIT shall maintain commercial general liability insurance with a reputable insurer, providing minimum limits of liability of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence, Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) aggregate, with an umbrella excess liability policy in the minimum amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) per occurrence bodily injury/ property and Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) aggregate damage/ occurrence, naming the Partnership and its managing agent as additional insureds. The provisions of this Section 7.2(a)(i)(C) shall survive the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement. 39 (ii) First Loan Assumption. First Lender shall have approved the joint application of the Partnership and the UPREIT for the transfer of partnership interests as contemplated in this Agreement (the "FIRST LOAN TRANSFER APPLICATION"), without the imposition of any loan assumption fee, with release of liability of Pan American as the existing Guarantor of recourse obligations under the First Loan Documents, and under terms and conditions (including without limitation the substitution of a recourse guarantor) satisfactory to the UPREIT in its discretion. In such connection: (A) Although there is no contemplated loan assumption fee payable to the First Lender, it is acknowledged that First Lender will require various processing, legal and third-party fees to be paid to it in connection with the First Loan Transfer Application and, if the First Loan Transfer Application is approved, in connection with the effectuation of the transfer through such documentation and deliverables as the First Lender shall require (collectively, the "LOAN TRANSFER COSTS"). The UPREIT shall bear the costs of all required legal opinions relating to the documents to be executed by the UPREIT and/or its designees, and by the Partnership as of the time that the transfer of partnership interests is effectuated, as well as the costs of any required non-consolidation or other opinions required by rating agencies and relating to the revised structure of the Partnership and its partners. All other Loan Transfer Costs shall be borne in equal shares by the UPREIT, on the one part, and by Contributors, on the other). 40 (B) In the event the First Lender requires that a substitute guarantor of recourse obligations assume liability for periods prior to Closing, then Pan American shall, by documentation reasonably satisfactory to the UPREIT, indemnify, defend and hold such substitute guarantor harmless for all claims, demands, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) with respect to the liabilities assumed by such substitute guarantor which are attributable to the period of time prior to the Closing hereunder, such indemnification to survive Closing without regard to any time limitations in this Agreement. (C) Within ten (10) days from the date of this Agreement, or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable, the parties shall complete and submit the First Loan Transfer Application and submit same together with the required fees and deposits (to be posted by the parties responsible for same as set forth in subclause (A) above) as set forth in Section 10(b) above, including such special requests as the UPREIT shall propose which deviate from the standard requirements. The appropriate parties shall promptly supply to the First Lender such financial information and other information as the First Lender shall from time to time reasonably request in connection with its consideration of the First Loan Transfer Application. 41 (iii) Second Loan Assumption. Second Lender shall also have approved the joint request of the Partnership and the UPREIT for the transfer of partnership interests as contemplated in this Agreement (the "SECOND LOAN TRANSFER APPLICATION"), without the imposition of any loan assumption fee, with release of liability of Pan American as the existing Guarantor of obligations under the Second Loan Documents (if Pan American has not previously been released as a guarantor), and under terms and conditions (including without limitation the elimination of the requirement for a guarantor, or the substitution of a new guarantor designated by the UPREIT if such substitute guarantor is required) satisfactory to the UPREIT in its discretion. In such connection, the parties agree to pay and share the costs imposed for the Second Loan Transfer Application, and to cooperate in promptly making application, in the same fashion as for the First Loan Transfer Application, with the understanding that no special securitization or like opinions will be required. (iv) Title. The UPREIT, on behalf of the Partnership, shall have obtained an unconditional commitment from the Title Company, to issue its title insurance policy to the Partnership at Closing with a "non-imputation" endorsement which shall effectively waive any defense of said title insurance company based upon any knowledge or action of any of the Contributors obtained or occurring prior to the Closing Date, and in such connection Contributors agree to execute such reasonable and customary affidavits in favor of the Title Company as may be necessary for issuance of such endorsement. At Closing, title to the land and improvements within the Property shall be free and clear of all defects, liens, encumbrances, covenants, restrictions and easements, excepting only the Permitted Exceptions as hereinafter defined, and such title shall, subject to the Permitted Exceptions, be good and marketable and insurable at such regular rates by the Title Company. Contributors shall have the right to provide affidavits, indemnifications or other assurances to the Title Company for the purpose of removing or insuring over any standard exceptions so long as recourse therefor is out of assets other than Partnership assets. In connection with the foregoing: 42 (A) The UPREIT has heretofore ordered from the Title Company a commitment to insure title to the Property (the "COMMITMENT") and shall deliver a copy thereof to Contributors promptly upon receipt. The UPREIT may, at its option, order a current survey of the Property from a surveyor of its choice ("SURVEY"). If the Commitment or Survey reflects or discloses any defect, exception, or other adverse matter affecting the Property ("TITLE DEFECTS") that impair the use, value or utility of the Property and are unacceptable to the UPREIT, then the UPREIT shall provide Contributors with written notice of such objections within the Due Diligence Period. (B) If the UPREIT notifies Contributors of Title Defects as aforesaid, Contributors may, at their sole option and without any obligation to do so except as set forth in Section 11.2(b) below, elect to cause the Partnership to cure or remove the objections (or to furnish to the UPREIT assurances of such cure or removal at or prior to Closing), provided, however, that except for the First Mortgage and the Second Mortgage, Contributors shall cause the Partnership to remove any judgments and any mortgages securing borrowed money against the Property and any other voluntary lien or encumbrance that can be reduced to a monetary amount. Contributors shall also cause any standard title exceptions, which are customarily removed by affidavit, to be so removed. The Contributors shall furnish to the UPREIT, within twenty (20) days after their receipt of notice of the Title Defects, a written statement of their intention in such regard. Promptly thereafter, the UPREIT shall advise the Contributors of whether it is satisfied to proceed with this transaction as a result of the actions to be taken by Contributors, or whether it is unsatisfied to proceed and elects to terminate this Agreement. 43 (C) Any exceptions to title as disclosed in the Commitment, as to which the UPREIT has not given notice as constituting Title Defects, and any Title Defects which the UPREIT elects to accept in accordance with the foregoing procedures, shall be known as "PERMITTED EXCEPTIONS." (v) Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Contributors set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects, in each case as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of the Closing Date. (vi) Performance of Covenants. All of the agreements, covenants and obligations that any Contributor is required to perform or to comply with pursuant to this Agreement at or prior to the Closing shall have been duly performed and complied with in all material respects. (vii) Legal Matters. The performance of the Preit Transaction Documents and the Contributor Transaction Documents and the consummation of the Closing shall not, directly or indirectly (with or without notice or lapse of time), violate, contravene, conflict with or result in a violation of any Law and shall not violate any order of any court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, and no suit, action, investigation or legal or administrative proceeding shall have been brought or threatened by any Person that questions the validity or legality of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. 44 (viii) Consents and Approvals. Each consent, approval, ratification, waiver or other authorization of any Person necessary, in the reasonable opinion of PREIT and the UPREIT, for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall have been obtained and shall be in full force and effect, and no such consent, approval, ratification, waiver or other authorization: (x) shall have been conditioned upon the modification, cancellation or termination of any Contract, right or Authorization of PREIT in a manner unsatisfactory to the UPREIT or PREIT, or (y) shall impose on PREIT, the Partnership or the UPREIT any material condition, provision or requirement not presently imposed and which is unsatisfactory to the UPREIT or PREIT. (ix) Tenant Options. Any applicable pre-emptive rights of purchase in favor of any tenant of the Property, which is or could be triggered by the transactions referred to herein, shall have been irrevocably waived. (x) Board Approval. Within thirty (30) days following the date hereof, the Board of Trustees of PREIT shall have approved the transactions embodied in this Agreement. 45 (b) Conditions Precedent to the Contributors' Obligations. The obligation of the Contributors to consummate the contribution of the Transferred Interests contemplated by this Agreement and to take the other actions required to be taken by them at the Closing is subject to the fulfillment by or at the Closing of each of the following conditions, any or all of what may be waived by the Contributors in their reasonable discretion: (i) Representations and Warranties. Each of the representations and warranties of PREIT and the UPREIT set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects, in each case as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of the Closing Date. (ii) Performance of Covenants. Each of the agreements, covenants and obligations that PREIT or the UPREIT is required to perform or to comply with pursuant to this Agreement at or prior to the Closing shall have been duly performed and complied with in all material respects. (iii) Legal Matters. The performance of the Preit Transaction Documents and the consummation of the Closing shall not, directly or indirectly (with or without notice or lapse of tine), violate, contravene, conflict with or result in a violation of any Law and shall not violate any order of any court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, and no suit, action, investigation or legal or administrative proceeding shall have been brought or threatened by any Person that questions the validity or legality of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. 46 7.3 Deliveries at the Closing. At the Closing, in addition to the other actions contemplated elsewhere herein: (a) Contributor Deliveries. The Contributors shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the New General Partner and the New Limited Partner and or the UPREIT or PREIT, as the case may be: (i) An assignment by each of such Contributors of its Transferred Interest, in the form set forth on Schedule 7.3 (a)(i) hereto; and in such connection, for purposes of allocating taxable income and losses between the portion of the Partnership's taxable year up to and including the date of Closing and the portion of the Partnership's taxable year after the date of Closing to take into account the varying interests of the partners of the Partnership as a result of the acquisition of the Transferred Interests at the Closing, there shall be an interim closing of the books of the Partnership as of the close of the date of Closing as permitted by Treasury Regulations under Section 706 of the Internal Revenue Code; (ii) An Amendment to the currently effective Certificate of Limited Partnership of the Partnership, reflecting the admission of the New General Partner as a general partner and the withdrawal of the General Partner as a general partner; (iii) A termination of the existing management agreement for the Property, without further liability of the Partnership; 47 (iv) certificates of good standing of a recent date for each Contributor Entity certified by the Secretary of State or corresponding certifying authority of the state of incorporation or organization of such Contributor Entity, and Uniform Commercial Code financing statement searches disclosing no grant of a security interest in the Transferred Interests; (v) such documents and instruments as are required by the First Lender and Second Lender to effectuate the assumption of the First Mortgage and the Second Mortgage as contemplated herein, and such documents and instruments as are required by such lenders to effectuate the assumption of said mortgages with the release of liability of Pan American Associates as a guarantor; (vi) a counterpart limited partner signature page for the UPREIT Partnership Agreement, and any related counterpart execution of documentation evidencing the issuance of the UPREIT Units to such Contributor and such Contributor's agreement to be bound by the provisions thereof with respect to its UPREIT Units; (vii) The Registration Rights Agreements referred to in subsection (b) below; (viii) The Tenant Estoppels and Condominium information referenced in Section 9 of this Agreement); (ix) An updated rent roll of the Property, certified to be accurate and complete to the knowledge of the General Partner (based upon the certificate of PREIT-Rubin, Inc. as the manager of the Property, except to the extent that the General Partner has actual knowledge that any portion of said rent roll is not true and correct); 48 (x) Letters to all tenants of the Property, in a form approved by the UPREIT, notifying them of any change, as desired by the UPREIT, for payment of future rent, and if desired by the UPREIT, similar letters for service providers and contract parties; (xi) A certificate duly executed by each Contributor confirming that it is not a foreign person for purposes of the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax, as revised by the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984; and (xii) such other documents and instruments as the UPREIT or PREIT may reasonably request to effectuate or evidence the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. It is further understood that the Partnership shall retain all records and files pertaining to the operation and maintenance of the Property and the tenancies therein (including without limitation records necessary to calculate, verify and/or bill tenants for common area expenses and other operating expenses related to the Property) and, to the extent not located at the Property, Contributors shall cause such records and files to be delivered to the UPREIT or shall allow the UPREIT to remove such items from the location in which they are stored. (b) UPREIT Deliveries. The UPREIT shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Contributors the following: 49 (i) the UPREIT Units to be delivered at Closing as set forth in this Agreement; (ii) a Registration Rights Agreement for the Class A Unit holders in the form set forth on Schedule 7.3(b)(ii) hereto; and (iii) each of the documents referred to in Section 7.3(a)(i) and (ii), duly executed by the New General Partner and/or New Limited Partner, as appropriate, the documents referred to in Section 7.3(a)(v), duly executed by such parties as are required for such purpose by the First Lender and/or Second Lender, and the documents referred to in Section 7.3(a) (vi), (vii) and (viii). (c) Cooperation. The UPREIT and the Contributors will cooperate in good faith in executing such documentation (such as limited guarantees of indebtedness by the Contributors, if so desired by the Contributors at each Contributor's option, and not as their obligation) to avoid recognition of income or gain to the Contributors by reason of a constructive distribution to them under Section 752 of the Internal Revenue Code relating to relief from liabilities. (d) Other Documents. Each party shall deliver or cause to be delivered, as the case may be, to the other parties hereto such other documents, instruments, certificates and opinions as may be required by this Agreement. SECTION 8. CLOSING COSTS AND ADJUSTMENTS. 8.1 Lease Costs. For all Leases of the Property, all brokerage commissions, fit-out and other costs and allowances to be paid by the landlord (other than free rent, if any, applicable to periods of time after the Closing Date) shall be fully discharged by the Partnership at or prior to Closing (i.e., without negative financial impact on the interests of the New Partners or the UPREIT), or a reserve or credit shall be made available therefor for the benefit of the UPREIT. 50 8.2 Realty Transfer Taxes. It is contemplated that, by reason of the acquisition of partnership interests as contemplated in this Agreement, no realty transfer taxes will be due in connection with this transaction. However, if and to the extent such realty transfer taxes shall be asserted to be due, Contributors shall be solely responsible for same. 8.3 Other Costs. The UPREIT shall pay for the costs of title insurance, search fees, and survey fees (if any). Each party shall pay its own legal fees. 8.4 Prorations and Adjustments at Closing. (a) Basic Adjustments. At Closing, the following items pertaining to the Property shall be prorated and adjusted between Contributors and the UPREIT as of 11:59 PM on the day prior to the Closing Date (except as expressly provided otherwise herein): (i) All base rent, percentage rent, additional rent and other sums due pursuant to Leases, provided that no proration shall be made at Closing for any rents or other sums under Leases which are delinquent as of Closing, but instead the New General Partner shall cause the Partnership to use reasonable efforts after Closing to cause all delinquent rents and charges to be collected and shall cause such amounts to be paid to Contributors when and if collected to the extent the same are attributable to periods prior to Closing, except that all rents and other charges collected after Closing shall be first applied to all current rents and other charges due to the Partnership; 51 (ii) Contributors shall credit the UPREIT for all security and other tenant deposits held by the Partnership plus interest due thereon to the tenants, if any, pursuant to the Leases, or shall turn over to the UPREIT such accounts, if any, as comprise such deposits; (iii) Interest on the First Mortgage and the Second Mortgage; (iv) All real estate taxes respecting the Property, to the extent not payable directly by tenants of the Property; (v) Water, electricity, sewer and other utility charges to the extent not payable directly by tenants to the utility company, based, to the extent practicable, on final meter readings and final invoices. The General Partner shall endeavor to have the meters read for all utilities servicing the Property prior to Closing; (vi) Assessments under the Condominium; and (vii) Charges payable under any Contracts which continue in effect after Closing. (b) Escrows and Reserves. At Closing, the Contributors shall receive credit for the amount of all escrows and reserves deposited or held in connection with the First Mortgage, provided, however, that no credit shall be made for any escrow or reserve which is inconsistent with the General Partner's representations under Section 4.2(j) hereof. 52 (c) Manner of Payment of Adjustment. Unless otherwise agreed between the UPREIT and the Contributors, the net amount of all adjustments and apportionments hereunder (the "NET ADJUSTMENT AMOUNT") shall be implemented by means of an adjustment in the Cumberland Unit Value as set forth in Section 2.1(c)(ii) above, and by a corresponding increase or decrease in the number of UPREIT Units to be issued pursuant to said Section. (d) Post Closing Adjustment. In the event any of the prorations or adjustments pursuant to this Section 8.5 are not reasonably susceptible of precise determination on the Closing Date (including without limitation a proration on account of additional rents payable by tenants), then the proration or adjustments shall be made as reasonably estimated, and a post-Closing cash adjustment shall be made between the parties promptly following the time that the precise determination shall be made. Nothing contained in this Section 8.5 shall prevent either party from disputing any claim made by the other party that an adjustment made at Closing was erroneous, provided that such claim shall be made not later twelve (12) months following Closing for matters concerning Leases, and not later than three (3) months following Closing for all other matters. Each party shall fully cooperate with the other in making its records available for inspection and copying in connection with any amounts due from tenants of the Property. 53 8.5 Cash. The General Partner shall cause the Partnership, prior to Closing, to apply cash and cash equivalents of the Partnership (not including sums in any required escrow or reserve accounts maintained pursuant to the First Loan Documents), to closing-related expenses under this Agreement, or to distribute same to the Contributors, and it is not intended that the UPREIT will acquire any interest therein. 8.6 Statement. At Closing, the parties shall execute and deliver to one another a statement detailing the Net Adjustment Amount and all relevant components and calculations thereof. 8.7 Survival. The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive Closing. SECTION 9. THIRD PARTY CERTIFICATES. 9.1 Tenant Estoppel Certificates. The General Partner shall use its reasonable efforts to enable the Partnership to obtain estoppel certificates (the "TENANT ESTOPPELS"), from all tenants under the Leases, substantially in the form set forth on Schedule 9.1 hereto and including the information thereon (or as otherwise prescribed by the terms of the applicable Lease). Any adverse claim or matter set forth in a Tenant Estoppel (i.e., an exception or assertion which is adverse to the interests of the landlord or is contrary to the representations herein) is referred to as an "ADVERSE CLAIM." 54 9.2 Required Estoppels. As a condition of the obligation of the UPREIT to close hereunder, the Partnership shall have obtained Tenant Estoppels without Adverse Claims, at or prior to Closing, from (A) Penney's, Boscov's, Value City, Home Depot, Regal Theater, Marshall's, Bed Bath & Beyond and Toys 'R Us (the foregoing being referred to as the "MAJOR TENANTS"), and from (B) tenants whose leases cover at least two thirds (2/3) of the balance of the gross leaseable area of the Property (i.e., the balance after deduction for the Major Tenants). With respect to any Leases for which a Tenant Estoppel has not been obtained (or with respect to Tenant Estoppels which do not contain all information as set forth in Section 4.2(o)), the representations of the General Partner as set forth in Section 4.2(o) shall be deemed to remain in effect unless the General Partner delivers to the UPREIT, at or prior to Closing, a statement disclosing any qualifications to such representations (which shall be deemed encompassed within the meaning of an Adverse Claim as above set forth). For any tenancy in which an Adverse Claim has actually been asserted, the UPREIT shall have the right to establish an escrow arrangement, with an escrowee mutually approved by the General Partner and the UPREIT, whereby an amount reasonably estimated to cover the expense of curing the Adverse Claim (assuming the validity of the Adverse Claim, but without prejudice to the right of the General Partner to deny such validity), shall be placed in escrow, with such escrow to be administered in a manner reasonably and jointly approved by the General Partner and the UPREIT so as to serve as security for the cure of the Adverse Claim or for resolution of disputes relating thereto, with the further understanding that the General Partner shall have the reasonable right to control the contest and/or negotiation of the Adverse Claim. If the amount reasonably estimated to cure all Adverse Claims exceeds One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000), and the parties cannot otherwise agree for arrangements with respect to the Adverse Claims, then the Contributors may terminate this Agreement, whereupon the provisions of Section 11.2(b) of this Agreement shall be applicable. 55 9.3 Indemnity. The General Partner agrees to indemnify and hold the UPREIT and the Partnership harmless, from and after Closing, from any Adverse Claims, provided that the General Partner is afforded a reasonable opportunity, through reasonable means, to contest, investigate and/or satisfy the claim. 9.4 Condominium. At Closing, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to obtain and deliver to the UPREIT a certificate from the association which has managerial responsibility for the Condominium, stating that to the knowledge of such association, the condominium units comprising the Property are not subject to unpaid assessments under, or are otherwise in violation of any applicable requirements of, the Condominium. SECTION 10. INDEMNIFICATION (a) Indemnification by Contributors and General Partner. Each Contributor, as to its separate undertakings, warranties and representations hereunder, and the General Partner, as to its undertakings, warranties and representations relating to the Partnership, shall and does hereby indemnify, defend and hold harmless PREIT, the UPREIT and the New Partners (collectively, "Preit Indemnitees") against and in respect of any and all losses, costs, expenses (including, without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees), claims, actions, damages, obligations, and liabilities (collectively, "DAMAGES"), arising out of, based upon or otherwise in respect of any inaccuracy in or breach of any such undertaking, representation or warranty made in or pursuant to this Agreement. 56 10.2 Indemnification by PREIT. Subject to applicable limitations set forth in Section 5 above, the UPREIT and PREIT shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Contributor against and in respect of any and all Damages arising out of, based upon or otherwise in respect of any inaccuracy in or breach of any undertaking, representation or warranty of PREIT or the UPREIT made in or pursuant to this Agreement. 10.3 Limitation. No party may assert a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 10 unless the Closing has occurred under this Agreement. Furthermore, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, with respect to any inaccuracy of a representation or breach of a warranty by a party (the "WARRANTING PARTY") which survives Closing and which is first asserted by another party (the "BENEFITING PARTY") after Closing, the Warranting Party shall not be liable to the Benefiting Party (by way of indemnification or otherwise) with respect to such representation or warranty unless and until such time, if ever, as the aggregate monetary value of claims with respect to all warranties and representations of the Warranting Party shall exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000). For the purpose of calculating the foregoing threshold amount of $50,000, there shall be included all claims first asserted after Closing (x) against either or both of PREIT and the UPREIT, on one hand, and (y) against any, some or all of Contributors and the General Partner, on the other hand. 57 10.4 Procedure For Indemnification - Third Party Claims. (a) Within thirty days after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any proceeding against it to which the indemnification in this Section 10 relates, such indemnified party shall, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under Section 10, 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 10 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such proceeding, in each case 58 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. (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. 59 10.5 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. 10.6 Survival. The rights and obligations of the parties set forth in this Section 10 shall survive the Closing; provided that any claim for which indemnification is sought is asserted prior to expiration of the applicable survival period, as set forth in this Agreement, for the representation, warranty or undertaking in question. SECTION 11. TERMINATION. 11.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated as follows: (i) by any party hereto, if the Closing has not occurred (other than through the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to comply fully with its obligations under this Agreement) within one hundred twenty (120) days following the date hereof, or such later date as the parties may mutually agree upon in writing; provided, however, that such period of one hundred twenty (120) days shall be extended for up to sixty (60) additional days if reasonably required in order to obtain the consent of the First Lender to the First Loan Transfer Application as set forth in Section 7(a)(ii) above and to implement the transfer procedures required in connection therewith; 60 (ii) by mutual consent of the UPREIT, PREIT and the Contributors; (iii) by PREIT or the UPREIT, if any of the conditions in Section 7.2(a) have not been satisfied as of the Closing Date or if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes impossible (other than through the failure of PREIT or the UPREIT to comply with its obligations under this Agreement) and PREIT and the UPREIT have not waived all such unsatisfied conditions before termination pursuant to this subparagraph (iii); or (iv) by the Contributors if any of the conditions in Section 7.2(b) have not been satisfied as of the Closing Date or if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes impossible (other than through the failure of any Contributor to comply with its obligations hereunder), or if the First Lender or Second Lender have not approved the assumption of their respective loans as set forth herein, and the Contributors have not waived all such unsatisfied conditions before termination pursuant to this subparagraph (iv). 11.2 Procedure for Termination; Effect of Termination. A party terminating this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11 shall give written notice thereof to each other party hereto, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be abandoned without further action by any party, the Deposit and any interest earned thereon shall be returned to the UPREIT, and all further obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate (other than any obligations which expressly survive Closing); provided, however, that: 61 (a) If the reason for such termination is attributable to the default of the UPREIT, then the Deposit shall be retained by Contributors as liquated damages as set forth in Section 2.1(a) above; (b) If the reason for such termination is attributable to the default of any of the Contributors, then the Deposit shall be refunded to the UPREIT and, in addition, Contributors shall reimburse to the UPREIT its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) in connection with this Agreement and the efforts to proceed to Closing hereunder, including any non-refundable fees paid in connection with applications for loan assumption with the First Lender and/or Second Lender, not to exceed One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000); provided that the UPREIT shall retain the right to specific performance of the provisions of this Agreement; and provided further that If Contributors shall be unable to cause title to the Property to be in such state as is required hereunder, or if any other condition is not satisfied, the UPREIT may elect to accept such title or status as Contributors can effectuate, in which case Closing shall proceed, subject to all of the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, but without any abatement or reduction of the Transfer Consideration, except that the Transfer Consideration shall be reduced by (A) any judgment and any impermissible monetary lien in a fixed and ascertainable amount voluntarily created by any of the Contributors or the Partnership, plus (B) up to $150,000 to cure or correct other title defects or items of non-compliance which are capable of cure or correction in an amount which is reasonably and objectively ascertainable. 62 SECTION 12. CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION. 12.1 Casualty. For purposes of this Agreement, a "minor casualty" shall mean any casualty occurring to any portion of the Property which would not, according to a reasonable estimate obtained by the Partnership from a reputable contractor, require more than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), or more than 150 days, to fully repair, and which would not entitle any tenant(s) occupying more than 15,000 square feet of space, in the aggregate, to terminate their leases. Any other casualty shall be a "major casualty." If, prior to Closing hereunder, any portion of the Property is subjected to a major or minor casualty, the General Partner shall give the UPREIT prompt written notice thereof. If such casualty is a minor casualty, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the transaction contemplated hereby shall be effected with no further adjustment, provided that at Closing, the Partnership shall retain all rights to the insurance proceeds for such casualty and none of such proceeds shall have been distributed to any partners of the Partnership except as may have been applied to restoration and repair. If the repair and restoration is not completed at the time of Closing, the UPREIT shall at Closing receive a credit against the Transfer Consideration in the amount of any insurance "deductible" to the extent such deductible amount is reasonably required for restoration and repair. If such casualty is a major casualty, the UPREIT shall have the option, exercisable within thirty (30) days after the date that the UPREIT receives notice of such casualty and the extent thereof, to either: (i) terminate this Agreement, whereupon this Agreement shall be null and void, the Deposit plus interest earned thereon shall be refunded to the UPREIT, and neither party shall have any further liability or obligation in connection with this Agreement (except for liability which expressly survives such termination), or (ii) proceed to Closing whereupon the insurance proceeds and credit for the applicable deductible amount shall be made available for the benefit of the UPREIT as above set forth. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a minor casualty or a major casualty for which the UPREIT has not terminated this Agreement, and if either party reasonably believes the damage can be fully repaired within a period of 120 days thereafter, such party may elect, by written notice to the other, to allow an extension of the Closing Date for up to 120 days in order to effectuate such repair and restoration. 63 12.2 Eminent Domain. If, prior to Closing hereunder, all or any part of the Property is taken by eminent domain or condemnation (or sale in lieu thereof), other than the pending condemnation with respect to the relocation of Hennis Road as described on Schedule 4.2 (f), and other than a de minimis taking which does not have a meaningful impact on the Property, or if notice of intended condemnation is received by the Partnership, the General Partner shall give the UPREIT prompt written notice thereof. Within twenty (20) days from the date that the UPREIT receives such notice, the UPREIT may, by written notice to the Contributors, elect to terminate this Agreement, whereupon this Agreement shall be null and void, the Deposit plus interest earned thereon shall be refunded to the UPREIT, and neither party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other in connection with this Agreement (except for liability which expressly survives such termination). If no such election to terminate is made, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and at Closing, the Partnership shall retain, without prior distribution to any of its partners, all rights to condemnation awards that have been or that may thereafter be made for such taking. The foregoing shall not apply to the Hennis Road Condemnation, which is separately dealt with under Section 13 below. 64 SECTION 13. SPECIAL PROVISIONS. 13.1 Hennis Road/Route 47 Widening. (a) The UPREIT acknowledges that, pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement of Sale dated September 8, 2003 between the Partnership, as seller and the State of New Jersey, as buyer (the "NJ DOT Agreement") a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule 13.1(a), the Partnership has agreed to convey a certain portion of the Property to the State of New Jersey in consideration of payment of $244,250 (the "Proceeds"). The UPREIT further acknowledges that the conveyance may not occur prior to the Closing Date. In the event the conveyance has not occurred prior to the Closing Date, the UPREIT agrees that, subsequent to Closing Date, it will cause such conveyance to occur pursuant to the terms of the NJ DOT Agreement. (b) The UPREIT further acknowledges that the approval of such conveyance by the First Lender is contingent upon the Proceeds being applied first to the Lender's costs and expenses and the balance being deposited in the Existing Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commissions (as defined in the First Loan Documents) reserve account. A copy of the Lender's approval is attached hereto as Schedule 13.1(b). The UPREIT agrees that in the event the above described conveyance is not closed, and the Proceeds (net of the Lender's costs and expenses) (the "Net Proceeds") placed in the Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commission Reserve Account, by the Closing Date such that the Contributors receive credit for such amount pursuant to Section 8.5(b) of this Agreement, then promptly upon receipt of the Proceeds the UPREIT shall pay to the Contributors an amount equal to the Net Proceeds, less any reasonable legal fees incurred by the UPREIT in consummating the conveyance. 65 13.2 BJ's Receivable. The UPREIT acknowledges that, pursuant to Section 3.5 of that certain Land Acquisition and Construction Agreement dated December 23, 2002, among Cumberland Mall Associates, as seller, RGR Mall Construction, LLC, as construction company and BJ's Wholesale Club, Inc. ("BJ's"), as buyer (the "BJ's Agreement"), the Completion Payment (as defined in the BJ's Agreement), including the Warranty Reserve described in Section 3.5(A) of the BJ's Agreement, has not been received by the Partnership. The UPREIT agrees that to the extent the Completion Payment is not received by the Partnership prior to the Closing Date, the UPREIT will cause the Partnership to enforce the obligations of BJ's to make the Completion Payment and that the Completion Payment, or part thereof, less such amounts as may reflect reimbursement of the Partnership's reasonable costs of such enforcement, shall be the sole property of Contributors. Any Completion Payment, or part thereof, received by the Partnership and/or the UPREIT subsequent to the Closing Date shall be held in trust for and paid to the Contributors promptly upon receipt, less such amounts as may be required to the Partnership's reasonable costs to enforce collection 13.3 UEZ Reserve. The UPREIT acknowledges that the sum of $20,000 has been placed in a reserve (the "Antenna Reserve") with the Second Lender pending an inspection of the antenna and amplification system at the Property by the police department to confirm appropriate radio reception at the Property. The 66 UPREIT agrees that except as set forth below, the Antenna Reserve shall be the sole Property of Contributors and that at such time as the Antenna Reserve, or any portion thereof, is released to the Partnership, such amounts shall be held in trust for and paid over to Contributors promptly upon receipt. To the extent that the inspection reveals that any further work is needed in connection with the system, Contributors agree that the Antenna Reserve, or such portion thereof as is needed to complete the work, may be retained by the UPREIT for such purpose. 13.4 Conveyance of Boscov's Unit. The UPREIT acknowledges that, pursuant to an Agreement to Enter Into Termination of Ground Lease, Operating and Repurchase Agreement between the Partnership and Berks County Real Estate Associates, IV, LP ("Berks"), a draft of which is attached hereto as Schedule 13.4 (the "Boscov's Agreement"), the Partnership has certain obligations to convey Unit C to Berks on at least thirty (30) days prior notice from Berks. The UPREIT acknowledges that it is purchasing the Property subject to the Boscov's Agreement and agrees that the Partnership shall be bound by the provisions thereof. The Partnership shall not materially amend the Boscov's Agreement without the prior written consent of the UPREIT. 13.5 Sign Relocation. The UPREIT acknowledges that the Partnership has incurred certain expenses in connection with the relocation of the Regal pylon sign and that the Partnership is entitled to reimbursement from the State of New Jersey for such costs. A schedule of such costs incurred to date is attached hereto as Schedule 13.5. The UPREIT agrees that the Contributors shall have the right to enforce the obligations of the State to reimburse such costs (provided that Contributors shall have no right to remove or relocate such sign from its new location) and that to the extent that any such sums are received by the Partnership and/or the UPREIT subsequent to the Closing Date, such sums shall be held in trust for and paid to the Contributors promptly upon receipt. 67 SECTION 14. ESCROW AGENT. 14.1 Investment. Escrow Agent shall place the Deposit, if in the form of cash, in an interest-bearing account with a federally-insured commercial banking institution selected by Escrow Agent, with such Deposit to be applied as set forth in this Agreement. 14.2 Protective Provisions. Escrow Agent shall release the Deposit in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or otherwise upon the joint written instructions of the General Partner and the UPREIT. Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility to determine the authenticity or validity of any notice, direction, instruction, instrument, document or other item delivered by either party, and shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with any joint written notice, direction, or instruction given hereunder and reasonably believed to be authentic. In the event of any controversy regarding the disposition of the Deposit or any interest thereon, Escrow Agent shall not be required to make any determination regarding such controversy; and in such event Escrow Agent shall have the right, at any time after the occurrence of a dispute, to place the Deposit and interest thereon with a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with the commencement of an interpleader action or similar proceeding. Escrow Agent shall give written notice of such deposit to the parties hereto and thereafter, Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all further obligations and responsibilities hereunder. 68 14.3 Liability. The parties acknowledge that Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either of the parties for any act or omission on its part unless taken or suffered in bad faith, in willful disregard of this contract, or involving gross negligence. 14.4 Requirements for Disbursement. Before making any disbursement of funds from a cash escrow, Escrow Agent shall notify the General Partner and the UPREIT in writing of its intended action at least five (5) days in advance, and in the event it shall, within such 5 day period, receive written notice of objection from a party, Escrow Agent shall take no further action unless pursuant to joint written instructions of the General Partner and the UPREIT or pursuant to a court order. SECTION 15. GENERAL PROVISIONS. 15.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. (a) Survival Period. All representations and warranties made by the parties in this Agreement and in the certificates, documents and other agreements delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year; provided, however, that any representations or warranties relating to the payment of Taxes or realty transfer taxes, or to the filing of returns or the furnishing of information or cooperation with respect thereto, shall survive Closing for the applicable limitation period, if longer. 69 (b) Security; Limitation of Recourse. For the purpose of securing to the UPREIT (i) the obligations of Contributors under the indemnities, warranties and representations under this Agreement which survive Closing and (ii) the obligations of the Partnership under the indemnities, warranties and representations under this Agreement which survive the Closing (including, but not limited to, the representations and warranties of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership set forth in Section 4.2 hereof) (the obligations described in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to herein as the "SECURITY OBLIGATIONS"), Contributors shall execute and deliver to the UPREIT at Closing an Indemnity and Security Agreement in the form of Schedule 15.1(b) hereto, pursuant to which the UPREIT shall be granted perfected liens on and security interests in a portion of the Units (the "COLLATERAL") to be issued by the UPREIT under this Agreement (such grant to be made pro-rata by all Contributors), such Collateral to have a value of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the "SECURITY VALUE") determined as of Closing in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) liability under the Indemnity and Security Agreement for a particular indemnity, warranty or representation shall extend only for the time corresponding to the survival period of the underlying indemnity, representation or warranty (if any, and otherwise within the applicable legal limitation period), (ii) during the period that the Collateral remains subject to the Indemnity and Security Agreement, the Collateral shall be availed of before recourse is pursued against any other assets of a Contributor, and (iii) if the Security Obligation which is breached is the several obligation of a Contributor, then recourse may be had only to that portion of the Collateral which has been pledged by the particular 70 Contributor (or by the constituent partners of such Contributor), but to the extent that the Security Obligation which is breached is the obligation of the Partnership (including, but not limited to, the representations and warranties of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership set forth in Section 4.2 hereof), then recourse may be had to the Collateral pledged by all Contributors (and the constituent partners of the Contributors), pro-rata in accordance with their former interests in the Partnership. To the extent no claim was theretofore made on account of the obligations under the Indemnity and Security Agreement, the Collateral shall be released on the first anniversary of the Closing Date. 15.2 Notices.

THIS ACQUISITION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made as of the 8th day of October, 2004, by and among HENNIS ROAD, L.L.C., a New Jersey Limited Liability Company ("SELLER"), and PREIT ASSOCIATES, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "PURCHASER"). BACKGROUND ---------- A. Seller is the Owner of a parcel of real property in Vineland, Cumberland County, New Jersey, containing approximately 1.7 acres of land at the southwest corner of the Cumberland Mall, as more particularly described by metes and bounds on Exhibit "A" hereto (the "PROPERTY"). The Property is unimproved and vacant except for a pylon sign which currently serves as an identifying sign for the Cumberland Mall, and on which BJ's Wholesale Club maintains a sign panel pursuant to an Easement Agreement dated December 19, 2002 between Seller and Natick NJ Vineland Realty Corp. (the "BJ'S EASEMENT"). B. The Property is also known as "Additional Real Estate A" under the Cumberland Mall Retail Condominium (the "CONDOMINIUM"), created pursuant to a Master Deed recorded in Cumberland County in Deed Book 2638, Page 74, as amended. However, the Property has not heretofore been made part of the Condominium. C. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller is willing to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser is willing to purchase from Seller, the Property. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: SECTION 1. PURCHASE AND SALE. 1.1 Sale of Property. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing (as defined herein), Seller agrees to sell and convey fee title to the Property to a designee of the Purchaser, and the Purchaser agrees to cause such designee to accept such title and cause the consideration hereinafter mentioned to be paid to Seller. The Purchaser contemplates that such designee shall be a New Jersey limited liability company named PR Cumberland Outparcel, LLC, which shall be wholly owned by the Purchaser, but the Purchaser may designate another wholly-owned entity for such purpose. 1 SECTION 2. CONSIDERATION. 2.1 Agreed Consideration. The aggregate consideration to be paid for the Property, subject to adjustments and apportionments as herein set forth, shall be known as the "PURCHASE PRICE." The Purchase Price shall be EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($800,000). The Purchase Price, subject to adjustments and apportionments as aforesaid, shall be payable as follows: (a) Deposit. Within five (5) business days following execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall post a deposit ("DEPOSIT") of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) with First American Title Insurance Company (the "TITLE COMPANY"), or another escrow agent mutually approved by the Purchaser and Seller (in either case, the "ESCROW AGENT"), to be held in escrow at interest pending Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement. In the event (i) the Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement as a result of its due diligence investigations as set forth in Section 7.2 herein, and (ii) the Purchaser shall default in its obligations to proceed to Closing hereunder, then the Deposit (plus interest earned thereon) shall be forfeited and paid to Seller as agreed-upon liquidated damages, in lieu of all other damages, rights or remedies of Seller, and thereupon this Agreement shall be terminated without liability of any party except for such liabilities as may survive such termination by the express provisions of this Agreement. In the event Seller shall default under this Agreement and this Agreement is terminated as a result, the Deposit (plus any interest earned thereon), shall be returned or surrendered to the Purchaser and thereupon neither party shall have further liability hereunder except for such liabilities as may survive such termination by the express terms of this Agreement, provided that the Purchaser shall have such other rights, if any, as are specified in Section 10 below. If Closing occurs hereunder, the Deposit (plus any interest earned thereon) shall be paid to Seller and credited against the Purchase Price. 2 2.2 Balance. Subject to the further adjustments and apportionments set forth in this Agreement, the balance of the Purchase Price shall be payable to Seller at Closing by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account designated by Seller.

At Closing, the parties shall execute and deliver to one another a statement detailing the Net Adjustment Amount and all relevant components and calculations thereof. 8.5 Survival.

Subject to applicable limitations set forth in Section 5 above, the Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller against and in respect of any and all Damages arising out of, based upon or otherwise in respect of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser made in or pursuant to this Agreement. 16 9.3 Limitation. No party may assert a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 9 unless the Closing has occurred under this Agreement. 9.4 Procedure For Indemnification - Third Party Claims. (a) Within thirty 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 17 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. (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 Survival. The rights and obligations of the parties set forth in this Section 9 shall survive the Closing. SECTION 10. TERMINATION. 10.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated as follows: (i) by any party hereto, if the Closing has not occurred (other than through the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to comply fully with its obligations under this Agreement) within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date hereof, or such later date as the parties may mutually agree upon in writing; 18 (ii) by mutual consent of the Purchaser and Seller; (iii) by Purchaser, if any of the conditions in Section 7.2(a) have not been satisfied as of the Closing Date or if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes impossible (other than through the failure Purchaser to comply with its obligations under this Agreement) and Purchaser has not waived all such unsatisfied conditions before termination pursuant to this subparagraph (iii); or (iv) by Seller if any of the conditions in Section 7.2(b) have not been satisfied as of the Closing Date or if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes impossible (other than through the failure of any Seller to comply with its obligations hereunder) and Seller have not waived all such unsatisfied conditions before termination pursuant to this subparagraph (iv). 10.2 Procedure for Termination; Effect of Termination. A party terminating this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall give written notice thereof to each other party hereto, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be abandoned without further action by any party, the Deposit and any interest earned thereon shall be returned to the Purchaser, and all further obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate (other than any obligations which expressly survive Closing); provided, however, that: (a) If the reason for such termination is attributable to the default of the Purchaser, then the Deposit shall be retained by Seller as liquated damages as set forth in Section 2.1(a) above; (b) If the reason for such termination is attributable to the default of Seller, then the Deposit shall be refunded to the Purchaser and, in addition, Seller shall reimburse to the Purchaser its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) in connection with this Agreement and the efforts to proceed to Closing hereunder, not to exceed Ten Thousand Dollars 19 ($10,000); provided that the Purchaser shall retain the right to specific performance of the provisions of this Agreement; and provided further that If Seller shall be unable to cause title to the Property to be in such state as is required hereunder, or if any other condition is not satisfied, the Purchaser may elect to accept such title or status as Seller can effectuate, in which case Closing shall proceed, subject to all of the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, but without any abatement or reduction of the consideration for the Property, except that the Purchase Price shall be reduced by (A) any impermissible monetary lien in a fixed and ascertainable amount which was voluntarily created by Seller, plus (B) up to $50,000 to cure or correct other items of non-compliance which are capable of cure or correction in an amount which is reasonably and objectively ascertainable. SECTION 11. CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION. 11.1 Casualty. A casualty impairing the Property shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties, it being acknowledged that the Property consists of vacant land; provided that if any damage shall occur to the pylon sign on the Property prior to Closing, Seller shall promptly repair same at Seller's sole cost or shall make an allowance against the Purchase Price for such purpose. 11.2 Eminent Domain. If, prior to Closing hereunder, all or any part of the Property is taken by eminent domain or condemnation (or sale in lieu thereof), other than a de minimis taking which does not have a meaningful impact on the Property, or if notice of intended condemnation is received by Seller, Seller shall give the Purchaser prompt written notice thereof. Within twenty (20) days from the date that the Purchaser receives such notice, the Purchaser may, by written notice to Seller, elect to terminate this Agreement, whereupon this Agreement shall be null and void, the Deposit plus interest earned thereon shall be refunded to the Purchaser, and neither party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other in connection with this Agreement (except for liability which expressly survives such termination). If no such election to terminate is made, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and at Closing, Seller shall assign to the Purchaser or its designee all rights to condemnation awards that have been or that may thereafter be made for such taking. The foregoing shall not apply to the Hennis Road Condemnation, which is separately dealt with under Section 12 below. 20 SECTION 12. SPECIAL PROVISIONS. 12.1 Cooperation regarding Development of Property. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Closing under this Agreement is contingent on the Closing under the Cumberland Mall Agreement but that the Closing of the Cumberland Mall Agreement is not contingent on the Closing of this Agreement. Purchaser and Seller agree that in the event that Closing on the Cumberland Mall occurs and this Agreement is terminated or Closing under this Agreement does not occur for any reason, Purchaser (or its designee) and Seller will fully and reasonably cooperate with one another in any development efforts for their respective properties to the extent that such development reasonably requires such cooperation, including, without limitation, causing the Property to be added to the Condominium as Additional Real Estate and consenting to such Amendments to the Master Deed as may be reasonably requested by the Seller in order to permit development of the Property, including, without limitation, development of the Property for a "Best Buy". The Purchaser acknowledges that it has reviewed the draft plans for a "Best Buy", copies of which are attached hereto as Schedule 12.1, and that the development of the Property substantially in accordance with such plans is satisfactory to the Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party shall be required, by virtue of the foregoing provisions, to grant to the other any licenses, easements or other property rights or privileges except under terms and conditions which are reflective of fair market terms and conditions, including without limitation fair market consideration for the grant of any property or property rights. The provisions of this Section 12.1 shall survive termination of this Agreement. 12.2 Reimbursement of Pre-Development Expenses at Closing. At Closing, in addition to the Basic Adjustments set forth in Section 8.3 of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller for its out of pocket costs incurred in connection with the relocation of certain utilities at the Property and the soft costs identified on Schedule 12.2 attached hereto. 21 SECTION 13.

In the event of any controversy regarding the disposition of the Deposit or any interest thereon, Escrow Agent shall not be required to make any determination regarding such controversy; and in such event Escrow Agent shall have the right, at any time after the occurrence of a dispute, to place the Deposit and interest thereon with a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with the commencement of an interpleader action or similar proceeding. Escrow Agent shall give written notice of such deposit to the parties hereto and thereafter, Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all further obligations and responsibilities hereunder. 13.3 Liability. The parties acknowledge that Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either of the parties for any act or omission on its part unless taken or suffered in bad faith, in willful disregard of this contract, or involving gross negligence.
