Background and Description of the Business
Who we are - Simon Property Group, L.P. (the "SPG Operating Partnership"), a Delaware limited partnership, is a majority owned subsidiary of Simon Property Group, Inc. ("SPG"), a Delaware corporation. SPG is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT"). Each share of common stock of SPG is paired ("Paired Shares") with 1/100th of a share of common stock of SPG Realty Consultants, Inc. ("SRC" and together with SPG, the "Companies"). Units of partnership interests ("Units") in the SPG Operating Partnership are paired ("Paired Units") with Units in SPG Realty Consultants, L.P. (the "SRC Operating Partnership" and together with the SPG Operating Partnership, the "Operating Partnerships"). The SRC Operating Partnership is the primary subsidiary of SRC. In this report, the terms "we", "us" and "our" refer to the SPG Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries.
As of December 31, 2001, we owned or held an interest in 251 income-producing properties in the United States, which consisted of 165 regional malls, 72 community shopping centers, five specialty retail centers, four office and mixed-use properties and five value-oriented super-regional malls in 36 states (the "Properties"). We also own 11 parcels of land held for future development (together with the Properties, the "Portfolio" or the "Portfolio Properties"). In addition, we have ownership interests in seven additional retail real estate properties operating in Europe and Canada.
Mergers and Acquisitions
Mergers and acquisitions have been a significant component of the growth and development of our business. Beginning with the merger with DeBartolo Realty Corporation in August of 1996 for approximately $3.0 billion, we have completed five major mergers and/or acquisitions that have helped shape the current organization. These acquisitions included the merger with Corporate Property Investors, Inc. in 1998 for approximately $5.9 billion. Information regarding the mergers and acquisitions required by this item are included in the Notes to Financial Statements of the attached audited financial statements, Notes 3 and 4 (acquisitions portion only), included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Subsequent to December 31, 2001, we signed a definitive agreement to purchase, jointly with Westfield America Trust and The Rouse Company, the assets of Rodamco North America N.V. for $5.3 billion. Our portion of the acquisition includes the purchase of the remaining ownership interests in four of our existing joint venture assets and new ownership interests in nine additional properties. Our share of the purchase price is $1.55 billion including $570.0 million in debt and perpetual preferred stock assumed.
General
During 2001, regional malls (including specialty retail centers and retail space in the mixed-use Properties), community centers and the remaining Portfolio comprised 92.2%, 4.9%, and 2.9%, respectively, of consolidated rent revenues and tenant reimbursements. The Properties contain an aggregate of approximately 186.5 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"), of which we own 110.9 million square feet ("Owned GLA"). More than 3,970 different retailers occupy more than 19,950 stores in the Properties. Total estimated retail sales at the Properties in 2001 were approximately $39 billion.
Operating Strategies
Our primary business objectives are to increase cash generated from operations per Paired Unit and to increase the value of the Portfolio Properties. We plan to achieve these objectives through a variety of methods discussed below, although we cannot assure you that that we will achieve such objectives.
3
Leasing. We pursue an active leasing strategy that includes:
Management. We draw upon our expertise gained through management of a geographically diverse Portfolio nationally recognized as high quality retail and mixed-use Properties. In doing so, we seek to maximize cash flow through a combination of:
Acquisitions. As noted above, we expect to acquire certain assets from Rodamco North America, N.V. in 2002. We may selectively acquire other individual properties and portfolios of properties that meet our investment criteria as opportunities arise. We continue to review and evaluate a limited number of acquisition opportunities and will continue our focus on acquiring highly productive, market dominant malls. We believe that acquisition activity is a component of our growth strategy
Development in the United States. Our strategy is to selectively develop new properties in major metropolitan areas that exhibit strong population and economic growth. We opened one regional mall during 2001. This addition added approximately 0.6 million square feet of GLA to the Portfolio at a cost of approximately $68.8 million. Currently, there are no new developments under construction. We believe given the current economic environment there are no new developments that meet our risk-reward criteria in order to commence development in the near term, especially in a weakening leasing economic environment.
We also have direct or indirect interests in eleven parcels of land being held for future development in eight states totaling approximately 772 acres. We believe that we are well positioned to pursue future development opportunities as conditions warrant.
Strategic Expansions and Renovations. One of our key objectives is to increase the profitability and market share of the Properties through strategic renovations and expansions. We invested approximately $118.2 million on redevelopment projects during 2001. We also have a number of renovation and/or expansion projects currently either under construction or in preconstruction development. However, for the same reasons we are limiting development activities, we have reduced our renovation and expansion plans for the near term.
International Expansion. We believe the expertise we have gained through the development and management of our domestic Properties can be utilized in retail properties throughout the world. We intend to continue pursuing international opportunities on a selected basis to enhance Unitholder value. There are risks inherent in international business that may be
4
beyond our control. These risks include the following risks that may have a negative impact on our results of operations:
Other Revenues. We also generate revenues due to our size and tenant relationships from:
Competition
We believe that we have a competitive advantage in the retail real estate business as a result of:
We believe that the Portfolio is the largest, as measured by GLA, of any publicly traded REIT. In addition, we own more regional malls than any other publicly traded REIT. For these reasons, we believe that we are the leader in our industry.
All of the Portfolio Properties are located in developed areas. Certain of our Properties are of the same type and are within the same market area as other competitive properties. The existence of competitive properties could have a material adverse effect on our ability to lease space and on the level of rents we can obtain.
There are numerous other commercial developers, real estate companies and other owners of real estate that compete with us in our trade areas. This results in competition for both acquisition of prime sites (including land for development and operating properties) and for tenants to occupy the space that we and our competitors develop and manage.
Environmental Matters
General Compliance. We believe that the Portfolio Properties are in compliance, in all material respects, with all Federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances. Nearly all of the Portfolio Properties have been subjected to Phase I or similar environmental audits (which generally involve only a review of records and visual inspection of the property without soil sampling or ground water analysis) by independent environmental consultants. Phase I environmental audits are intended to discover information regarding, and to evaluate the environmental condition of, the surveyed properties and surrounding properties. These environmental audits have not revealed, nor are we aware of, any environmental liability that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We cannot assure you that:
5
Asbestos-Containing Materials. Asbestos-containing materials are present in most of the Properties, primarily in the form of vinyl asbestos tile, mastics and roofing materials, which we believe are generally in good condition. Fireproofing and insulation containing asbestos is also present in certain Properties in limited concentrations or in limited areas. The presence of such asbestos-containing materials does not violate currently applicable laws. Generally, we remove asbestos-containing materials as required in the ordinary course of any renovation, reconstruction and expansion, and in connection with the retenanting of space.
Underground Storage Tanks. Several of the Portfolio Properties contain, or at one time contained, underground storage tanks used to store waste oils or other petroleum products primarily related to auto services center establishments or emergency electrical generation equipment. We believe that regulated tanks have been removed, upgraded or abandoned in place in accordance with applicable environmental laws. Site assessments have revealed certain soil and groundwater contamination associated with such tanks at some of these Properties. Subsurface investigations (Phase II assessments) and remediation activities are either completed, ongoing, or scheduled to be conducted at such Properties. The cost of remediation with respect to such matters has not been material and we do not expect these costs will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Properties to be Developed or Acquired. Land held for shopping mall development or that may be acquired for development may contain residues or debris associated with the use of the land by prior owners or third parties. In certain instances, such residues or debris could be or contain hazardous wastes or hazardous substances. Prior to exercising any option to acquire any of the optioned properties, we will conduct environmental due diligence consistent with acceptable industry standards.
Employees
At February 28, 2002 we and our affiliates employed approximately 4,160 persons at various centers and offices throughout the United States, of which approximately 1,580 were part-time. Approximately 940 of these employees were located at our headquarters.
Insurance
We have comprehensive liability, fire, flood, extended coverage and rental loss insurance with respect to our Properties. The impact of the events of September 11, 2001 has affected our insurance programs. Our insurance programs are discussed in detail in Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Form 10-K.
Corporate Headquarters
Our executive offices are located at National City Center, 115 West Washington Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204, and its telephone number is (317) 636-1600.

Portfolio Properties
Our Properties primarily consist of regional malls and community shopping centers. Regional malls generally contain two or more anchors and a wide variety of smaller stores ("Mall" stores) located in enclosed malls connecting the anchors. Additional stores ("Freestanding" stores) are usually located along the perimeter of the parking area. Our 165 regional malls range in size from approximately 300,000 to 2.8 million square feet of GLA, with all but four regional malls over 400,000 square feet. These regional malls contain in the aggregate more than 17,000 occupied stores, including over 650 anchors, which are mostly national retailers. As of December 31, 2001, regional malls (including specialty retail centers and retail space in the mixed-use Properties) represented 84.7% of total GLA, 79.2% of Owned GLA and 86.3% of total annualized base rent of the Properties.
Community shopping centers are generally unenclosed and smaller than regional malls. Most of our 72 community shopping centers in the Properties range in size from approximately 50,000 to 600,000 square feet of GLA. Community shopping centers generally are of two types. First, we own traditional community centers that focus primarily on value-oriented and convenience goods and services. These centers are usually anchored by a supermarket, drugstore or discount retailer and are designed to service a neighborhood area. Second, we own "power centers" that are designed to serve a larger trade area and contain at least two anchors that are usually national retailers among the leaders in their markets and occupy more than 70% of the GLA in the center. As of December 31, 2001, community shopping centers represented 9.2% of total GLA, 10.8% of Owned GLA and 5.9% of the total annualized base rent of the Properties.
We also have interests in five specialty retail centers, four office and mixed-use Properties and five value-oriented super-regional malls. The specialty retail centers contain approximately 1,843,000 square feet of GLA and do not have anchors. These properties feature retailers and entertainment facilities in a distinctive shopping environment and location. The four office and mixed-use Properties range in size from approximately 512,000 to 1,030,000 square feet of GLA. Two of these Properties are regional malls with connected office buildings, and two are located in mixed-use developments and contain primarily office space. The value-oriented super-regional malls range in size from approximately 1.0 million to 1.6 million square feet of GLA. These Properties combine retail outlets, manufacturers' off-price stores and other value-oriented tenants. As of December 31, 2001, value-oriented super-regional malls represented 3.5% of total GLA, 5.9% of Owned GLA and 5.5% of the total annualized base rent of the Properties.
As of December 31, 2001, approximately 91.9% of the Mall and Freestanding Owned GLA in regional malls, specialty retail centers and the retail space in the mixed use Properties was leased, approximately 93.7% of the Owned GLA in the value-oriented super-regional malls was leased, and approximately 89.3% of Owned GLA in the community shopping centers was leased.
Of the 251 Properties, we own 100% of 170 of the Properties and the remainder are held as joint venture interests. We are the managing or co-managing general partner or member of all but 15 of the Properties held as joint venture interests.

Overview
Who we are - Simon Property Group, L.P. (the "SPG Operating Partnership"), a Delaware limited partnership, is a majority owned subsidiary of Simon Property Group, Inc. ("SPG"), a Delaware corporation. SPG is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT"). Each share of common stock of SPG is paired ("Paired Shares") with 1/100th of a share of common stock of SPG Realty Consultants, Inc. ("SRC" and together with SPG, the "Companies"). Units of partnership interests ("Units") in the SPG Operating Partnership are paired ("Paired Units") with Units in SPG Realty Consultants, L.P. (the "SRC Operating Partnership" and together with the SPG Operating Partnership, the "Operating Partnerships")). The SRC Operating Partnership is the primary subsidiary of SRC. In this report, the terms "we", "us" and "our" refer to the SPG Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries.
We are engaged primarily in the ownership, operation, leasing, management, acquisition, expansion and development of real estate properties. Our real estate properties consist primarily of regional malls and community shopping centers. As of December 31, 2001, we owned or held an interest in 251 income-producing properties in the United States, which consisted of 165 regional malls, 72 community shopping centers, five specialty retail centers, four office and mixed-use properties and five value-oriented super-regional malls in 36 states (the "Properties"). We also own 11 parcels of land held for future development (together with the Properties, the "Portfolio" or the "Portfolio Properties"). In addition, we have ownership interests in seven additional retail real estate properties operating in Europe and Canada. Our leases from retail tenants generate the majority of our revenues through:
We also generate revenues due to our size and tenant relationships from:
We also hold substantially all of the economic interest in M.S. Management Associates, Inc. (the "Management Company"). See Note 7 in the Notes to Financial Statements for a description of the activities of the Management Company.

Results of Operations
The year 2001 was marked by the onset of the country's first recession in over ten years and the unprecedented, tragic events of September 11, 2001. In addition, the retail industry experienced a significant restructuring of the theater industry and an increase in tenant bankruptcies. During 2001 tenant bankruptcies resulted in the loss of over 1.2 million square feet of regional mall shop space. Despite these challenges our Portfolio demonstrated its resiliency with steady sales per square foot of $378 for regional malls in 2001 compared to $377 in 2000. Despite the losses to bankruptcies, occupancy levels were up slightly in 2001 to 91.9% for regional malls compared to 91.8% in 2000. Our releasing spreads also remained strong with new regional mall store leases signed at $34.88 average initial base rents per square foot in 2001 as compared to average base rents of $29.10 per square foot for regional mall store leases terminating or expiring in the same year, a spread of $5.78, or 20%.
The following property acquisitions and openings impacted our results of operations in the comparative periods. During 2001 the SPG Operating Partnership acquired the ownership of Simon Brand Ventures, LLC ("SBV") from SRC. We also opened Bowie Towne Center in October 2001 and we sold interests in several Properties throughout the comparative periods (collectively the "Property Transactions"). In addition, we opened Orlando Premium Outlets in May 2000, Arundel Mills in November 2000, Montreal Forum in May 2001, and in October 2001 we acquired a 50% ownership interest in Fashion Valley Mall. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" and Note 4 to the financial statements for additional information about acquisitions, openings and disposals during the comparative period. The following discussion of the changes in operating income excludes the Property Transactions.
Year Ended December 31, 2001 vs. Year Ended December 31, 2000
Our change in operating income was impacted by positive trends in 2001 including a $38.0 million increase in minimum rents, excluding our Simon Brand Venture ("SBV") and Simon Business Network ("SBN") initiatives. The increase in minimum rent primarily results from steady occupancy levels and the replacement of expiring tenant leases with renewal leases at higher minimum base rents. Revenues from temporary tenant rentals increased $5.6 million reflecting our continual effort to maximize the profitability of our mall space. Miscellaneous income increased $7.9 million. This increase includes $5.7 million in fees associated with the Kimsward transaction charged to the Management Company, a $5.6 million contract termination payment offset by a decrease in various miscellaneous income items in the prior year. The Kimsward transaction is described in Note 12 in the Notes to Financial Statements. The change in operating income includes the net positive impact of the Property Transactions of $3.7 million.
These positive trends realized in operating income were offset by an impairment charge of $47.0 million we recorded in 2001 to adjust assets to their estimated fair value in connection with our anticipated disposal of nine properties. In 2000, we recorded a $10.6 million impairment charge on two properties as the contract prices for the sales of these properties as of December 31, 2000 were less than our carrying amounts. We closed the sale of these properties in 2001. We recognized a non-recurring $3.0 million write-down of an investment in 2001 and we wrote-off $2.7 million of miscellaneous technology investments in 2001 both included in other expenses. Depreciation and amortization increased $36.3 million primarily due to an increase in depreciable real estate resulting from renovation and expansion activities, as well as increased tenant cost amortization. Tenant reimbursement revenues, net of reimbursable expenses decreased $18.0 million. This decrease is primarily the result of true-up billings and decreases in recovery ratios. Overage rents decreased $7.8 million resulting from flat sales levels. The sale of outlot land parcels declined in 2001 resulting in a $12.9 million decrease in revenues. Interest income decreased $5.5 million during 2001 due to the lower interest rate environment. Revenues from our SBV and SBN initiatives decreased $3.3 million.
Interest expense during 2001 decreased $29.8 million, or 4.7% compared to the same period in 2000. This decrease is primarily due to lower interest rates during 2001 and reductions in the corporate
37
credit facilities offset by the issuance of $500.0 million of unsecured notes on January 11, 2001 and $750.0 million in unsecured notes on October 26, 2001.
Income from unconsolidated entities decreased $19.7 million in 2001, resulting from a $9.8 million increase in income from unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, and a $29.5 million decrease in income from the Management Company. The increase in joint venture income related to: lower interest rates; a reduction in real estate taxes due to a real estate tax settlement at one Property; the acquisition of Fashion Valley Mall in 2001; and the full year impact of two Properties that opened in 2000. Included in the Management Company decrease is our net $13.9 million share of the write-off of technology investments, primarily clixnmortar. In addition, the Management Company realized a $3.7 million decrease in various fee revenues, a $3.2 million decrease in land sales, and a $4.3 million increase in overhead expenses. These amounts were partially offset by $12.6 million of income from the Kimsward transaction net of the $5.7 million fee charged by the SPG Operating Partnership. In addition, our share of the increased losses associated with MerchantWired LLC was $14.0 million. We use joint ventures to finance certain properties and to diversify our risk in a particular trade area. These joint ventures are described further in Note 7 to the Notes to Financial Statements. Note 7 also includes combined balance sheets and results of operations for our unconsolidated entities and Item 2 of our Form 10-K lists the Portfolio Properties and our corresponding legal interests.
During 2001 we recorded a $1.7 million expense as a cumulative effect of an accounting change, which includes our $1.5 million share from unconsolidated entities, due to the adoption of SFAS 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended. During 2000 we recorded a $12.3 million expense as a cumulative effect of an accounting change, which includes our $1.8 million share from unconsolidated entities, due to the adoption of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"). SAB 101 addressed certain revenue recognition policies, including the accounting for overage rent by a landlord. See Note 13 in the Notes to Financial Statements for discussions of the cumulative effect of accounting changes.
The $2.6 million net gain on the sales of assets in 2001 resulted from the sale of our interests in one regional mall, one community center, and an office building for a gross sales price of approximately $20.3 million. In 2000, we recognized a net gain of $19.7 million on the sale of two regional malls, four community centers, and one office building for a gross sales price of approximately $142.6 million.
Net income was $279.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, which reflects a $60.9 million or 17.9% decrease compared to the same period in 2000, primarily for the reasons discussed above. Net income was allocated to the partners of the SPG Operating Partnership based on their preferred Unit preferences and weighted average ownership interests in the SPG Operating Partnerships during the period.
Preferred distributions of the SPG Operating Partnership represent distributions on preferred Units.
Impairment
As previously mentioned, in connection with our anticipated disposal of nine Properties we recorded a $47.0 million expense for the impairment of certain investment Properties for the year ended December 31, 2001. In general, economic and demographic changes has caused tenants to vacate space at certain lower quality properties, decreasing occupancy rates and leading to declines in the fair values of these assets due to significantly decreased profitability and cash flows from these Properties. In addition, we have committed to a plan to dispose of these assets in 2002. The impairment of these assets was calculated using a combination of cap rate analysis and discounted cash flows from the individual Properties' operations as well as contract prices, if applicable. These nine Properties' cash flows and results of operations were not material to our cash flows and results of operations and their removal from service and sale will not materially affect our ongoing operations.

Year Ended December 31, 2000 vs. Year Ended December 31, 1999
Operating income increased $44.7 million or 5.2% in 2000 as compared to 1999. This increase includes the net result of the Property Transactions ($10.8 million). Excluding these transactions, operating income increased approximately $33.9 million or 4.0%, primarily resulting from a $53.6 million increase in minimum rents, a $14.2 million increase in consolidated revenues realized from marketing initiatives throughout the Portfolio from our strategic marketing division, Simon Brand Ventures ("SBV"), a $3.8 million increase in miscellaneous income, a $4.8 million increase in interest income, and an $8.6 million increase in lease settlements, partially offset by a $31.8 million increase in depreciation and amortization, a $2.5 million increase in cost sharing expense, and a $4.7 million increase in other expenses, and a $10.6 million impairment charge. The increase in minimum rent primarily results from increased occupancy levels, the replacement of expiring tenant leases with renewal leases at higher minimum base rents, and a $5.1 million increase in rents from tenants operating under license agreements. The increase in miscellaneous income results from gift certificate sales previously recorded on the Management Company and incidental fee revenues. The increase in depreciation and amortization is primarily due to an increase in depreciable real estate realized through renovation and expansion activities. We recorded a $10.6 million impairment charge in connection with our anticipated disposal of two properties as the contract prices for the sale of these properties as of December 31, 2000 were less than our carrying amounts.
Interest expense increased $57.5 million, or 9.9% in 2000 as compared to 1999. This increase is primarily the result of overall increases in interest rates during the comparative periods ($20.6 million), the Property Transactions ($8.2 million) and incremental interest on borrowings under our Credit Facility to complete the NED Acquisition ($12.4 million) and acquire an ownership interest in Mall of America ($3.8 million), with the remainder being primarily from borrowings for Property redevelopments that opened in the comparative periods.
The $19.7 million net gain on the sales of assets in 2000 results from the sale of our interests in an office building, two regional malls and four community shopping centers for approximately $142.6 million. In 1999, we recognized a net loss of $1.9 million on the sale of two Properties.
Income from unconsolidated entities increased $34.7 million in 2000, resulting from a $22.0 million increase in income from the Management Company and a $12.7 million increase in income from unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The increase in Management Company income is primarily the result of a $6.7 million increase in management fees due to property acquisitions and increased minimum rents, $7.3 million of asset write-downs recognized in 1999, $4.6 million in 2000 residual land sales, as well as a $5.3 million increase in the income tax benefit, which is primarily due to the reversal of valuation allowances due to 2000 income and forecasted future income. These increases are offset by our share of the $4.1 million of losses associated with MerchantWired LLC. Income from unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures included a $5.0 million asset impairment write-down in 1999 related to The Tower Shops.
During the first quarter of 2000, we recorded a $12.3 million expense resulting from the cumulative effect of an accounting change described above.
Net income was $340.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, which reflects a $49.3 million or 16.9% increase over 1999, primarily for the reasons discussed above, and was allocated to the Unitholders of the SPG Operating Partnership based upon their preferred Unit preferences and weighted average ownership interests in the SPG Operating Partnership during the period.
Preferred distributions of the SPG Operating Partnership represent distributions on preferred Units issued.

Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are described in detail in Note 5 of the Notes to Financial Statements. The following briefly describes those accounting policies that we feel are most critical to understanding our business for our Unitholders:
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our balance of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents was $252.2 million as of December 31, 2001, including $141.5 million related to our gift certificate program, which we do not consider available for general working capital purposes. We have a $1.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") which had available credit of $1.1 billion at December 31, 2001. The Credit Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 65 basis points and provides for different pricing based upon our corporate credit rating. The Credit Facility has an initial maturity of August 2002, with an additional one-year extension available at our option. SPG and the SPG Operating Partnership also have access to public equity and debt markets. Our current corporate ratings are Baa1 by Moody's Investors Service and Bbb+ by Standard & Poor's.
We anticipate that cash generated from operating performance will provide the funds we need on a short- and long-term basis for operating expenses, interest expense on outstanding indebtedness, recurring capital expenditures, and distributions to Unitholders so that SPG can comply with REIT requirements. Sources of capital for nonrecurring capital expenditures, such as major building renovations and expansions, as well as for scheduled principal payments, including balloon payments, on outstanding indebtedness are expected to be obtained from:
These sources may be negatively impacted by the bankruptcy of tenants, declines in occupancy at our malls, or the inability to refinance properties due to lack of terrorism insurance coverage. However, we expect to be able to successfully replace any departing tenants and do not currently anticipate any hindrances in refinancing activities due to lack of terrorism insurance coverage.

The debt of our joint ventures is the liability of the joint venture partnerships and is typically secured by the joint venture property. We guarantee and therefore are only contractually obligated to fund $82.8 million of the total $2.4 billion of joint venture debt. In addition, we have guaranteed other obligations totaling approximately $29.7 million on certain unconsolidated entities.
We had consolidated debt of $8.8 billion as of December 31, 2001, of which $7.4 billion was fixed-rate debt, bearing interest at a weighted average rate of 7.2% and $1.4 billion was variable-rate debt bearing interest at a weighted average rate of 3.5%. As of December 31, 2001, we had interest rate protection agreements related to $758.6 million of consolidated variable-rate debt. Our interest rate protection agreements did not materially impact interest expense or weighted average borrowing rates in 2001. Our ratio of consolidated debt-to-market capitalization was 52.6% and 57.0% at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
The following summarizes significant financing and refinancing transactions completed in 2001:
Secured Indebtedness. During 2001, we refinanced approximately $401.7 million of mortgage indebtedness on five of the Properties. Our share of the refinanced debt is approximately $275.3 million. The weighted average maturity of the new indebtedness is 7.8 years and the weighted average interest rates decreased from approximately 6.82% to 6.20%.
Credit Facility. During 2001 the maximum amount outstanding under our Credit Facility was $863.0 million and the average amount outstanding under the Credit Facility was $581.5 million. The weighted average interest rate was 4.94% for 2001.
Unsecured Notes. We again demonstrated our ability to regularly access the unsecured debt market in 2001. On January 11, 2001, we issued $500.0 million of unsecured debt to institutional investors pursuant to Rule 144A in two tranches. The first tranche is $300.0 million bearing an interest rate of 73/8% due January 20, 2006 and the second tranche is $200.0 million bearing an interest rate of 73/4% due January 20, 2011. The net proceeds of the offering were used to repay the remaining portion of the indebtedness under the credit facility we used to fund the 1998 merger with Corporate Property Investors, Inc. ("CPI") due March 24, 2001 and to repay a portion of the CPI merger facility due September 24, 2001.
On August 6, 2001, we retired the third and final tranche of the CPI merger facility totaling $435.0 million. We generated the funds used to retire this debt primarily from our $277.0 million financing of four mall properties at a fixed rate of 6.99%, our $110.0 million financing of one office complex at LIBOR plus 115 basis points, and excess cash flow.
On October 26, 2001, we issued $750.0 million of 6.375% senior unsecured notes due November 15, 2007. We used the net proceeds from the offering to reduce the outstanding balance of the Credit
41
Facility. Ultimately, we plan to retire mortgage indebtedness on six wholly-owned Properties and to retire $250.0 million of 9% bonds that mature in early 2002 with borrowings from the Credit Facility.
Acquisitions and Disposals
Acquisitions. On October 1, 2001, we purchased a 50% interest in Fashion Valley Mall located in San Diego, California for a purchase price of $165.0 million which includes our share of a $200.0 million, seven year mortgage at a fixed rate of 6.5% issued concurrent with the acquisition by the partnership owning the property. We also assumed management responsibilities for this 1.7 million square foot open-air, super-regional mall. On August 20, 2001, the SPG Operating Partnership acquired an additional 21.46% interest in the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City for a total of $77.5 million. The purchase price consisted of cash and an additional capital contribution to the Property.
Subsequent to December 31, 2001, we signed a definitive agreement to purchase, jointly with Westfield America Trust and The Rouse Company, the assets of Rodamco North America N.V. for $5.3 billion. Our portion of the acquisition includes the purchase of the remaining ownership interests in four of our existing joint venture assets and new ownership interests in nine additional properties. Our share of the purchase price is $1.55 billion including $570.0 million in debt and perpetual preferred stock assumed. The balance will be payable in cash at closing and, initially, will be funded by the existing Credit Facility and an acquisition facility. The purchase price is denominated in Euros.
We continue to review and evaluate a limited number of acquisition opportunities and will continue our focus on acquiring highly productive, market dominant malls. We believe that acquisition activity is a component of our growth strategy and amounts available under the Credit Facility, together with the ability to issue shares of common stock, Units and debt securities, provide adequate means to finance certain acquisitions. We cannot assure you that we will not be required to, or will not elect to, even if not required to, obtain funds from outside sources, including the sale of debt or equity securities, to finance significant acquisitions, if any.
See Note 4 to the financial statements for 2000 and 1999 acquisition activity.
Disposals. During 2001, we sold our interests in one regional mall, one community center, and one office building for a combined gross sales price of $20.3 million, resulting in a net combined gain of $2.6 million. The net proceeds of approximately $19.6 million were used for general working capital purposes.
In addition to the Property sales described above, as a continuing part of our long-term strategic plan, we continue to pursue the sale of our remaining non-retail holdings and a number of retail assets that are no longer aligned with our strategic criteria, including four Properties currently under contract for sale. We may decide to sell Properties that are held for use, in which case the sale prices of these assets may differ from the carrying value of the related assets.
Market Risk - Sensitivity Analysis. Our future earnings, cash flows and fair values relating to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market rates of interest, primarily LIBOR. Based upon consolidated indebtedness and interest rates at December 31, 2001, a 0.50% increase in the market rates of interest would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $6.5 million, and would decrease the fair value of debt by approximately $537.3 million. A 0.50% decrease in the market rates of interest would increase future earnings and cash flows by approximately $6.5 million, and would increase the fair value of debt by approximately $621.8 million. We manage our exposure to interest rate risk by a combination of interest rate protection agreements to effectively fix or cap a portion of our variable rate debt and by refinancing fixed rate debt at times when rates and terms are appropriate.
In connection with the expected acquisition of the assets of Rodamco North America N.V. we entered into a EUR 795.1 million collar transaction to manage our exposure to fluctuations in the Euro currency. This derivative transaction effectively maintains our purchase price between a conversion rate of
42
.91 Euros and 0.864 Euros. The fluctuation in earnings, if any, from this transaction will be partially offset by changes in our final purchase price. We believe that this transaction is in the best interest of our Unitholders due to the magnitude of our potential exposure. Current hedge accounting explicitly states that the effects of a hedge of a business combination must be reported through earnings and cannot be capitalized as part of the purchase price. Therefore, we expect some volatility in our earnings for the first two quarters of 2002. If the Euro conversion rate at the close of the transaction equals 0.854, then our earnings would be reduced by approximately $8.7 million, including transaction costs. If the Euro conversion rate at the close of the transaction equals 0.92, then our earnings would be increased by approximately $7.2 million, net of transaction costs.
Development Activity
We pursue new development as well as strategic expansion and renovation activity when we believe the investment of our capital meets our risk-reward criteria. In response to the weakening economy, we reduced our spending in these areas in 2001 and expect to further reduce our spending in 2002.
New Developments. Development activities are an ongoing part of our business. During 2001, we opened two new Properties aggregating approximately 0.8 million square feet of GLA. In total, our share of new developments for Portfolio Properties in 2001 was approximately $121.3 million. With no new developments currently under construction, we expect 2002 pre-development costs to be approximately $10 million.
Strategic Expansions and Renovations. One of our key objectives is to increase the profitability and market share of the Properties through the completion of strategic renovations and expansions. We invested approximately $118.2 million in redevelopment projects during 2001. We have some renovation and/or expansion projects currently under construction or in preconstruction development and expect to invest approximately $100 million on redevelopment in 2002.
International. We have a 32.3% ownership interest in European Retail Enterprises, B.V. ("ERE"), which is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. ERE also operates through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Groupe BEG, S.A. ("BEG"). ERE and BEG are fully integrated European retail real estate developers, lessors and managers. Our current total investment in ERE and BEG, including subordinated debt, is approximately $73.4 million. The current estimated additional commitment, including subordinated debt, is approximately $27.6 million. However, since our future commitments are subject to certain performance and other criteria, including our approval of development projects, these additional commitments may vary. The agreements with BEG and ERE are structured to allow us to acquire an additional 28.5% ownership interest over time. As of December 31, 2001, BEG and ERE had four Properties open in Poland and two in France. The structure is described further in Note 7 of the Notes to Financial Statements
Technology Initiatives. We continue with our technology initiatives through two investments: MerchantWired LLC and Constellation Real Technologies. Constellation is a consortium of leading real estate companies. Its primary asset is an investment in FacilityPro, a purchasing aggregation company. Our share of the total carrying amount of and receivables from our investments is approximately $36.4 million as of December 31, 2001 with our investment in and receivables from MerchantWired LLC totaling $33.7 million. We own an approximately 53% indirect non-controlling interest in MerchantWired LLC. We, along with the other members of MerchantWired LLC, are in the final stages of negotiating a sale of MerchantWired LLC to a third party for cash and contingent consideration. Completing the sale is subject to finalizing the termination or modification of certain third party contracts, the buyer obtaining credit approval from its lenders, and certain regulatory and other matters. As a condition of this transaction, we will also acquire approximately $24 million of cable and related infrastructure from MerchantWired LLC and will make an $8 million additional contribution to MerchantWired LLC. These proceeds, along with
43
proceeds from other members, will be used by MerchantWired LLC to satisfy amounts outstanding under various lease arrangements and trade payables, resulting in the members being relieved of all guarantee arrangements. We expect the transaction to close in April. The amount of contingent consideration due us and the other members will be determined based upon a multiple of annualized December 2003 and December 2004 MerchantWired LLC revenues. If this transaction is not completed, the future of MerchantWired LLC will be impacted unless MerchantWired LLC is able to obtain future capital commitments.

Distributions
We make distributions in order for SPG to maintain its REIT status. We declared a cash distribution of $0.525 per unit in the fourth quarter of 2001. The current combined annual distribution rate is $2.10 per Unit. Distributions during 2001 aggregated $2.08 per Unit and distributions during 2000 aggregated $2.02 per Unit. Future distributions will be determined based on actual results of operations and cash available for distribution. Our distributions typically exceed our net income generated in any given year primarily because of depreciation, which is a "non-cash" expense. As evidenced by our $797.0 million of net cash provided by operating activities we are able to distribute the required level of dividends.
Investing and Financing Activities
Cash used in investing activities of $270.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 includes consolidated cash capital expenditures of $281.6 million, investments in unconsolidated joint ventures of $147.9 million, and acquisition costs of $164.3 million. Capital expenditures include development costs of $68.4 million, renovation and expansion costs of $123.6 million and tenant costs and other operational capital expenditures of $89.6 million. These cash uses are partially offset by distributions from unconsolidated entities of $289.0 million, advances from the Management Company of $1.4 million, loan activity with SRC of $5.6 million, cash from the consolidation of the SPG Administrative Services Partnership, L.P. of $8.1 million and net proceeds of $19.5 million from the sale of the three Properties previously mentioned.
Cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $484.3 million and includes net distributions of $592.2 million, offset by proceeds from net borrowings of $107.9 million.
Retail Climate and Tenant Bankruptcies
A number of local, regional, and national retailers, including both in-line and anchor tenants, announced store closings or filed for bankruptcy in 2001. Some changeover in tenants is normal in our business. We lost over 1.2 million square feet of mall shop tenants in 2001 to bankruptcies. Pressures which affect consumer confidence, job growth, energy costs and income gains, however, can affect retail sales growth and a continuing soft economic cycle may impact our ability to retenant property vacancies resulting from these store closings or bankruptcies.
44
The geographical diversity of our Portfolio mitigates some of our risk in the event of an economic downturn. In addition, the diversity of our tenant mix is also a factor because no single retailer represents either more than 2.0% of total GLA or more than 3.5% of our annualized base minimum rent. Bankruptcies and store closings may, in some circumstances, create opportunities for us to release spaces at higher rents to tenants with enhanced sales performance. Our previously demonstrated ability to successfully retenant anchor and in line store locations reflects our resilience to fluctuations in economic cycles. While these factors reflect some of the inherent strengths of our portfolio in a difficult retail environment, successful execution of a releasing strategy is not assured.
Energy Management Services
On September 30, 1999, Simon Property Group, L.P. entered into a multi-year contract with Enron Energy Services ("Enron") for Enron to supply or manage all of the energy commodity requirements for the wholly-owned properties and many of the SPG Operating Parntership's joint venture partnerships. As result of the December bankruptcy filing by Enron, we assumed total control over the management of the energy assets throughout the portfolio, including the purchase and payment of utilities and maintenance and repair of energy related equipment. The majority of these costs and expenses are recoverable from our tenants.
In addition, as part of our original agreement with Enron, we required that it contract with our existing service providers for the maintenance and repair work on our energy assets. This allowed us to convert back to our prior contractual agreements while keeping the same work force and scope of work. There was no service interruption to any of our malls or tenants, and we are once again actively self-managing our energy business, just as we had done prior to the Enron contract. Enron has not formally rejected our contract yet, although we expect that to occur. We do not anticipate adverse financial consequences from the Enron bankruptcy and ultimate rejection of our contract.
Insurance
Our portfolio-wide general liability and property insurance policies expired on December 31, 2001. We renewed these policies, the cost of which is predominantly passed through to tenants, at similar coverage levels, but at price increases aggregating approximately 30%. All of our Portfolio Properties have insurance coverage for 2002. The exception to coverage levels is in the area of terrorism, which is now excluded in our new property coverage. Terrorism coverage is simply not available today at any reasonable pricing level and Congress did not act to provide any type of supplemental or substitute coverage. To offset the drastic increases in insurance costs, we have taken measures to keep overall recoverable costs down to ensure that tenant costs per square foot do not increase significantly. We believe that we are in compliance with all insurance provisions of our debt agreements even though we lack terrorism insurance coverage. Some new loans are being quoted and closed without terrorism coverage, so this is not hindering our access to capital.
Inflation
Inflation has remained relatively low during the past four years and has had a minimal impact on the operating performance of the Properties. Nonetheless, substantially all of the tenants' leases contain provisions designed to lessen the impact of inflation. These provisions include clauses enabling us to receive percentage rentals based on tenants' gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. In addition, many of the leases are for terms of less than ten years, which may enable us to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base and/or percentage rentals if rents of the existing leases are below the then-existing market rate. Substantially all of the leases, other than those for anchors, require the tenants to pay a proportionate share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and
45
insurance, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.
However, inflation may have a negative impact on some of our other operating items. Interest and general and administrative expenses may be adversely affected by inflation as these specified costs could increase at a rate higher than rents. Also, for tenant leases with stated rent increases, inflation may have a negative effect as the stated rent increases in these leases could be lower than the increase in inflation at any given time.
Seasonality
The shopping center industry is seasonal in nature, particularly in the fourth quarter during the holiday season, when tenant occupancy and retail sales are typically at their highest levels. In addition, shopping malls achieve most of their temporary tenant rents during the holiday season. As a result of the above, our earnings are generally highest in the fourth quarter of each year.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Simon Property Group, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Simon Property Group, L.P. (a Delaware limited partnership) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, partners' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of Simon Property Group, L.P. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Simon Property Group, L.P. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
As explained in Note 13 to the financial statements, effective January 1, 2001, Simon Property Group, L.P. adopted SFAS 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended in June of 2000 by SFAS 138, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 133, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments. As explained in Note 13 to the financial statements, effective January 1, 2000, Simon Property Group, L.P. adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, which addressed certain revenue recognition policies, including the accounting for overage rent by a landlord.

SIMON PROPERTY GROUP, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per unit amounts and where indicated as in millions or billions)
1. Organization
Simon Property Group, L.P. (the "SPG Operating Partnership"), a Delaware limited partnership, is a majority owned subsidiary of Simon Property Group, Inc. ("SPG"), a Delaware corporation. SPG is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Each share of common stock of SPG is paired ("Paired Shares") with a beneficial interest in 1/100th of a share of common stock of SPG Realty Consultants, Inc., also a Delaware corporation ("SRC" and together with SPG, the "Companies"). Units of ownership interest ("Units") in the SPG Operating Partnership are paired ("Paired Units") with a Unit in SPG Realty Consultants, L.P. (the "SRC Operating Partnership" and together with the SPG Operating Partnership, the "Operating Partnerships"). The SRC Operating Partnership is the primary subsidiary of SRC.
The SPG Operating Partnership is engaged in the ownership, operation, leasing, management, acquisition, expansion and development of real estate properties. The SPG Operating Partnership's real estate properties consist primarily of regional malls and community shopping centers. As of December 31, 2001, the SPG Operating Partnership owned or held an interest in 251 income-producing properties in the United States, which consisted of 165 regional malls, 72 community shopping centers, five specialty retail centers, four office and mixed-use properties and five value-oriented super-regional malls in 36 states (the "Properties"). The SPG Operating Partnership also owned an interest in 11 parcels of land held for future development, which together with the Properties are hereafter referred to as the "Portfolio Properties." In addition, the SPG Operating Partnership has ownership in seven additional retail real estate properties operating in Europe and Canada. The SPG Operating Partnership's leases from retail tenants generate the majority of its revenues through:
The SPG Operating Partnership also generates revenues due to its size and tenant relationships from:
The SPG Operating Partnership also holds substantially all of the economic interest in M.S. Management Associates, Inc. (the "Management Company"). See Note 7 for a description of the activities of the Management Company. The Management Company elected to become a taxable REIT subsidiary effective January 1, 2001.
The SPG Operating Partnership is subject to risks incidental to the ownership and operation of commercial real estate. These include, among others, the risks normally associated with changes in the general economic climate, trends in the retail industry, creditworthiness of tenants, competition for tenants and customers, changes in tax laws, interest rate levels, the availability of financing, and potential liability under environmental and other laws. The SPG Operating Partnership's regional malls and community shopping centers rely heavily upon anchor tenants like most retail properties. Three retailers' anchor stores occupied 338 of the approximately 985 anchor stores in the Properties as of December 31, 2001. An affiliate of one of these retailers is a limited partner in the Operating Partnerships.
55
2. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include accounts of all entities owned or controlled by the SPG Operating Partnership. All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated.
Consolidated properties are wholly-owned or owned less than 100% and are controlled by SPG Operating Partnership. Control is demonstrated by the ability of the general partner to manage day-to-day operations, refinance debt and sell the assets of the partnership without the consent of the limited partner and the inability of the limited partner to replace the general partner. The deficit minority interest balance in the accompanying balance sheets represents outside partners' interests in the net equity of certain Properties. Deficit minority interests are recorded when a partnership agreement provides for the settlement of deficit capital accounts before distributing the proceeds from the sale of partnership assets and/or from the intent (legal or otherwise) and ability of the partner to fund additional capital contributions.
Investments in partnerships and joint ventures represent noncontrolling ownership interests in properties ("Joint Venture Properties") and the investment in the Management Company (see Note 7). These investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. These investments are recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for net equity in income (loss), which is allocated in accordance with the provisions of the applicable partnership or joint venture agreement, and cash contributions and distributions. The allocation provisions in the partnership or joint venture agreements are not always consistent with the ownership interests held by each general or limited partner or joint venturer primarily due to partner preferences.
Net operating results of the SPG Operating Partnership are allocated after preferred distributions (see Note 10), based on its partners' weighted average ownership interests during the period. During 2001, one of the SPG Operating Partnership's general partners, SPG Properties Inc., merged with and into SPG as described in Note 10. SPG's weighted average direct and indirect ownership interest in the SPG Operating Partnership during 2001, 2000 and 1999 was 72.5%, 72.4% and 72.3%, respectively. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, SPG's direct and indirect ownership interest in the SPG Operating Partnership was 72.9% and 72.4%, respectively.
3. NED Acquisition
During 1999, the SPG Operating Partnership acquired ownership interests in 14 regional malls from New England Development Company (the "NED Acquisition"). The SPG Operating Partnership acquired one of the Properties directly and formed a joint venture with three partners ("Mayflower"), of which the SPG Operating Partnership owns a noncontrolling 49.1%, to acquire interests in the remaining Properties. The total cost of the NED Acquisition is approximately $1.8 billion, of which the SPG Operating Partnership's share is approximately $894 million. The SPG Operating Partnership assumed management responsibilities for the portfolio, which includes approximately 10.7 million square feet of GLA. The SPG Operating Partnership's share of the cost of the NED Acquisition included the assumption of approximately $530.0 million of mortgage indebtedness; $177.1 million in cash; the issuance of 1,269,446 Paired Units valued at approximately $36.4 million; the issuance of 2,584,227 7% Convertible Preferred Units in the SPG Operating Partnership valued at approximately $72.8 million; and 2,584,227 8% Redeemable Preferred Units in the SPG Operating Partnership valued at approximately $78.0 million. The SPG Operating Partnership's share of the cash portion of the purchase price was financed primarily using the Credit Facility (see Note 8).
56
In connection with the NED Acquisition, SPG borrowed $92.8 million from the SPG Operating Partnership at 7.8% interest with a maturity of December 2009. SPG used the proceeds to purchase a noncontrolling 88% interest in one of the NED Properties. SPG contributed its interest in such Property to the SPG Operating Partnership in exchange for 3,617,070 Paired Units. The SPG Operating Partnership then contributed its interest in such Property to Mayflower in exchange for an ownership interest in Mayflower. The note receivable from SPG is recorded as a reduction of partners' equity.
4. Other Real Estate Acquisitions, Disposals, and Impairment
Acquisitions
On October 1, 2001, the SPG Operating Partnership purchased a 50% interest in Fashion Valley Mall located in San Diego, California for a purchase price of $165.0 million which includes the SPG Operating Partnership's share of a $200.0 million, seven year mortgage at a fixed rate of 6.5% issued concurrent with the acquisition by the partnership owning the property. The SPG Operating Partnership also assumed management responsibilities for this 1.7 million square foot open-air, super-regional mall.
On August 20, 2001, the SPG Operating Partnership acquired an additional 21.46% interest in the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City for a total of $77.5 million. Concurrent with the acquisition, the partnership owning the property issued $200.0 million of debt. The purchase price consisted of cash and an additional capital contribution to the Property.
During 1999, the SPG Operating Partnership acquired the remaining interests in four Properties, and a noncontrolling 27.5% ownership interest in the 2.8 million square-foot Mall of America for a combined price of approximately $317.9 million, including the assumption of $134.3 million of mortgage indebtedness, 1,000,000 shares of 8% Redeemable Preferred Stock in SPG issued at $24.2 million, and the remainder in cash, financed primarily through the Credit Facility and working capital. The SPG Operating Partnership is entitled to 50% of the economic benefits of Mall of America, due to a preference.
Subsequent to December 31, 2001, the SPG Operating Partnership signed a definitive agreement to jointly purchase the assets of Rodamco North America N.V., concurrently with Westfield America Trust and The Rouse Company, for $5.3 billion. The SPG Operating Partnership's portion of the acquisition includes the purchase of the remaining ownership interests in four of the SPG Operating Partnership's existing joint venture assets and new ownership interests in nine additional properties. The SPG Operating Partnership's share of the purchase price is $1.55 billion including $570.0 million in debt and perpetual preferred stock assumed. The balance will be payable in cash at closing and, initially, will be funded by the existing Credit Facility and a new acquisition facility. The purchase price is denominated in Euros.
In connection with the acquisition of the assets of Rodamco North America N.V. the SPG Operating Partnership entered into a EUR 795.1 million collar transaction to manage its exposure to fluctuations in the Euro currency. This derivative transaction effectively maintains the SPG Operating Partnership's purchase price between a conversion rate of 0.91 Euros and 0.864 Euros. The fluctuation in earnings, if any, from this transaction will be partially offset by changes in the final purchase price. Current hedge accounting explicitly states that the effects of a hedge of a business combination must be reported through earnings and cannot be capitalized as part of the purchase price.

Disposals
The SPG Operating Partnership sold ownership interests in certain properties during each of the years ended December 31 presented in the accompanying financial statements. The disposals consisted of and resulted in the following:

The SPG Operating Partnership is continuing to pursue the sale of its remaining non-retail holdings and a number of retail assets that are no longer aligned with the SPG Operating Partnership's strategic criteria. The SPG Operating Partnership may decide to sell Properties that are held for use, in which case the sale prices of these assets may be less than the carrying value of the related assets.
Impairment
In connection with the SPG Operating Partnership's anticipated disposal of nine properties the SPG Operating Partnership recorded a $47.0 million expense for the impairment of certain investment properties for the year ended December 31, 2001. In general, the overall decline in the economy has caused tenants to vacate space at certain lower quality properties decreasing occupancy rates and leading to declines in the fair values of these assets due to decreased profitability. In addition, the SPG Operating Partnership has committed to a plan to dispose of these assets in 2002. The impairment of these assets was estimated using a combination of cap rate analysis and discounted cash flows from the individual properties' operations as well as contract prices, if applicable. The actual losses may differ from these estimates. The nine properties' cash flows and results of operations were not material to the cash flows and results of operations of the SPG Operating Partnership and their removal from service will not materially affect the SPG Operating Partnership's ongoing operations. The total carrying amounts of these properties were $87.2 million at December 31, 2001 and were included in investment properties.
The SPG Operating Partnership also recorded a $10.6 million expense for the impairment of two Properties for the year ended December 31, 2000 for the same reasons discussed above. These two Properties were subsequently sold in 2001.
The SPG Operating Partnership also wrote-off certain technology assets in 2001. The write-off was comprised of consolidated miscellaneous technology investments of $2.7 million recorded in other expense and the SPG Operating Partnership's net $13.9 million share of the write-off of technology investments, primarily clixnmortar as to which the SPG Operating Partnership has decided to postpone further development, recorded in the Management Company.
5. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Investment Properties
Investment Properties are recorded at cost or predecessor cost for Properties acquired from certain of the SPG Operating Partnership's Unitholders. Investment Properties for financial reporting purposes are reviewed for impairment on a Property-by-Property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of investment Properties may not be recoverable. Impairment of investment Properties is recognized when estimated undiscounted operating income is less than
58
the carrying value of the Property. To the extent an impairment has occurred, the excess of carrying value of the Property over its estimated fair value is charged to income.
Investment Properties include costs of acquisitions, development and predevelopment, construction, tenant allowances and improvements, interest and real estate taxes incurred during construction, certain capitalized improvements and replacements, and certain allocated overhead. Depreciation on buildings and improvements is provided utilizing the straight-line method over an estimated original useful life, which is generally 35 years or the term of the applicable tenant's lease in the case of tenant inducements. Depreciable lives are reviewed periodically and are adjusted when necessary to reflect a shorter economic life. Depreciation on tenant allowances and improvements is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the term of the related lease.
Certain improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency of the asset. All other repair and maintenance items are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill
Goodwill resulted from the SPG Operating Partnership's merger with Corporate Property Investors, Inc. in 1998. Goodwill is amortized over the estimated life of the properties of 35 years. See Note 13 for the impact of the new accounting pronouncement SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."
Use of Estimates
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Capitalized Interest
Interest is capitalized on projects during periods of construction. Interest capitalized during 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $9,807, $18,210, and $19,641, respectively.
Segment Disclosure
The SPG Operating Partnership's interests in its regional malls, community centers and other assets represent one segment because resource allocation and other operating decisions are based on an evaluation of the entire portfolio.
Long-term Investment
Investments in securities classified as available for sale are reflected at market value with the changes in market value reflected as comprehensive income in partners' equity. These investments were sold in 2000.
59
Deferred Costs
Deferred costs consist primarily of financing fees incurred to obtain long-term financing and internal and external leasing commissions and related costs. Deferred financing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective loans or agreements. Deferred leasing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Deferred leasing costs consist primarily of capitalized salaries and related benefits in connection with lease originations. Net deferred costs of $142,592 and $138,396 are net of accumulated amortization of $180,051 and $148,697 as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Amortization of debt premiums net of discounts | ($ | 5,178 | ) | ($ | 5,391 | ) | ($ | 5,707 | ) |
Accounting Policies for Derivatives
The SPG Operating Partnership uses a variety of derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to manage or hedge the risks described in Note 8 and records all derivatives on its balance sheets at fair value. The SPG Operating Partnership requires that hedging derivative instruments are effective in reducing the risk exposure that they are designated to hedge. Any instrument that meets these hedging criteria is formally designated as a hedge at the inception of the derivative contract.
The SPG Operating Partnership adjusts its balance sheets on an ongoing quarterly basis to reflect current fair market value of its derivatives. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in earnings or comprehensive income, as appropriate. The ineffective portion of the hedge is immediately recognized in earnings to the extent that the change in value of a derivative does not perfectly offset the change in value of the instrument being hedged. The unrealized gains and losses held in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified to earnings over time and occurs when the hedged items are also recognized in earnings. The SPG Operating Partnership has a policy of only entering into contracts with major financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors.
The SPG Operating Partnership uses standard market conventions to determine the fair values of derivative instruments and techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models, and termination cost are used to determine fair value at each balance sheet date. All methods of assessing fair value result in a general approximation of value and such value may never actually be realized.
Revenue Recognition
The SPG Operating Partnership, as a lessor, has retained substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the investment Properties and accounts for its leases as operating leases. Minimum rents are accrued on a straight-line basis over the terms of their respective leases. Certain tenants are also required to pay overage rents based on sales over a stated base amount during the lease year. Beginning January 1, 2000, the SPG Operating Partnership recognizes overage rents only when each tenant's sales exceeds its sales threshold. Overage rents were previously recognized as revenues based on reported and estimated sales for each tenant through December 31, less the applicable base sales amount. Differences
60
between estimated and actual amounts are recognized in the subsequent year. See Note 13 for description and impact of the accounting change.
Reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes and other recoverable operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred. The SPG Operating Partnership receives escrow payments for these reimbursements from substantially all its tenants throughout the year. This reduces the risk of loss on uncollectible accounts once the SPG Operating Partnership performs the final year end billings for recoverable expenditures. Differences between estimated recoveries and the final billed amounts are recognized in the subsequent year.
Allowance for Credit Losses
A provision for credit losses is recorded based on management's judgment of tenant creditworthiness. The activity in the allowance for credit losses during 2001, 2000 and 1999 was as follows:
Year Ended |
Balance at Beginning of Year |
Provision for Credit Losses |
Accounts Written Off |

December 31, 1999 | $ | 14,476 | $ | 8,367 | $ | (8,355 | ) | $ | 14,488 | |||
Income Taxes
As a partnership, the allocated share of income or loss for each year is included in the income tax returns of the partners', accordingly, no accounting for income taxes is required in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. State and local taxes are not material.
61
Per Unit Data
Basic earnings per Unit is based on the weighted average number of Units outstanding during the period and diluted earnings per Unit is based on the weighted average number of Units outstanding combined with the incremental weighted average Units that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common Units would have been converted into Units at the earliest date possible. The following table sets forth the computation for the SPG Operating Partnership's basic and diluted earnings per Unit.

Basic and diluted earnings per Unit is presented in the financial statements based upon the weighted average number of Units outstanding of the SPG Operating Partnership. Preferred Units issued and outstanding during the comparative periods did not have a dilutive effect on earnings per Unit. Paired Units held by limited partners in the Operating Partnerships may be exchanged for Paired Shares, on a one-for-one basis in certain circumstances. If exchanged, the Paired Units would not have a dilutive effect. The increase in weighted average Units outstanding under the diluted method over the basic method in every period presented for the SPG Operating Partnership is due entirely to the effect of outstanding stock options. The SPG Operating Partnership accrues distributions when they are declared.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less are considered cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates market value. Cash equivalents generally consist of commercial paper, bankers acceptances, Eurodollars, repurchase agreements and Dutch auction securities.
Noncash Transactions

7. Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
Joint ventures are common in the real estate industry. The SPG Operating Partnership utilizes joint ventures to finance certain properties and to diversify its risk in a particular trade area. In addition, the SPG Operating Partnership's size makes it an attractive partner for other real estate companies that
63
may not want to assume or do not have the ability to assume 100% of the risk of a particular project or acquisition. As discussed in Note 2, since the SPG Operating Partnership does not fully control these properties, its accounting policy and current GAAP requires that it account for these properties on the equity method of accounting. Summary financial information of the joint ventures and a summary of the SPG Operating Partnership's investment in and share of income from such joint ventures follow.

European Investment
The balance sheets and results of operations of the SPG Operating Partnership's European investments are included in the summary financial information of joint ventures above. The SPG Operating Partnership has a 32.3% ownership interest in European Retail Enterprises, B.V. ("ERE"). Prior to January 2001, the Management Company had a 29% ownership interest in Groupe BEG, S.A. ("BEG") which was accounted for using the equity method of accounting. In January 2001, BEG merged with ERE and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ERE. During the third quarter of 2001, the Management Company transferred its interest in ERE at its carrying value of $29.9 million to the SPG Operating Partnership through the intercompany note to simplify the organizational structure. BEG and ERE are fully integrated European retail real estate developers, lessors and managers. The SPG Operating Partnership's current total investment in ERE and BEG, including subordinated debt, is approximately $73.4 million. The current estimated additional commitment, including subordinated debt, is approximately $27.6 million. However, since the SPG Operating Partnership's future commitments are subject to certain performance and other criteria, including the SPG Operating Partnership's approval of development projects, these additional commitments may vary. The agreements with BEG and ERE are structured to allow the SPG Operating Partnership to acquire an additional 28.5% ownership interest over time. As of December 31, 2001, BEG and ERE had four properties open in Poland and two in France.
The translation adjustment resulting from the conversion of BEG and ERE's financial statements from Euros to U.S. dollars was not significant for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999.
The Management Company
The SPG Operating Partnership holds 80% of the outstanding common stock, 5% of the outstanding voting common stock, all of the 8% cumulative Class A preferred stock, all of the 6% Cumulative Class B preferred stock, and all of the 6% Cumulative Class C preferred stock of the Management Company. The remaining 20% of the outstanding common stock of the Management Company (representing 95% of the voting common stock) is owned directly by certain Simon family members. Because the SPG Operating Partnership exercises significant influence but not control over the financial and operating policies of the Management Company, it is reflected in the accompanying statements using the equity method of accounting. The SPG Operating Partnership has accounted for the Management Company as an unconsolidated entity since it became a public company. One of the primary reasons for the Management Company being accounted for as a non-consolidated joint venture is that the income generated from management fees, leasing fees, and development contracts as well as other income is considered impermissible under REIT requirements of the Code. Transactions may be structured through the Management Company to avoid jeopardizing SPG's status as a REIT under the Code.
The Management Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, provides management, leasing, development, project management, accounting, legal, marketing and management information systems services and property damage and general liability insurance coverage to certain Portfolio Properties. The SPG Operating Partnership incurred total costs of $86,488, $86,238 and $82,630 on consolidated Properties, related to services provided by the Management Company and its affiliates in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Certain of these amounts are capitalized by the SPG Operating Partnership for leasing and development costs. Common costs are allocated by the Management Company to the SPG Operating Partnership using assumptions that management believes are reasonable. Amounts due to the Management Company under cost-sharing arrangements and management contracts are netted in notes and
66
advances receivable from the Management Company and affiliates. In addition, the Management Company also provides certain of such services to Melvin Simon & Associates, Inc. ("MSA"), and certain other non-owned properties for a fee. Fees for services provided by the Management Company to MSA were $4,249, $4,246 and $3,853 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, amounts due from the Management Company for unpaid accrued interest and unpaid accrued preferred dividends were not material to the consolidated financial statements or to those of SPG. Included in other income, the SPG Operating Partnership recorded interest income and preferred dividends from the Management Company of the following:

The Management Company elected to become a taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS") effective January 1, 2001. The SPG Operating Partnership and the Management Company performed the following recapitalization transactions in order to implement the SPG Operating Partnership's new TRS strategy. The SPG Operating Partnership contributed its ownership in clixnmortar at its carrying value of $22.6 million and $385 to the Management Company in exchange for 2,140 shares of 6% Cumulative Class B preferred stock of the Management Company on March 31, 2001. In addition, the SPG Operating Partnership contributed $60.2 million of its note receivable from the Management Company in exchange for 5,600 shares of 6% Cumulative Class C preferred stock on December 31, 2001. The SPG Operating Partnership's economic ownership of the Management Company increased to 98.0% from 90.0% as a result of these transactions. Finally, the SPG Operating Partnership agreed to reduce the interest rate on the note receivable from the Management Company to 7% from 11% effective January 1, 2002 to more accurately reflect current interest rate conditions.

The SPG Operating Partnership's share of the Management Company's net investment in and receivables from MerchantWired LLC was $33.7 million at December 31, 2001. The SPG Operating Partnership, along with the other members of MerchantWired LLC, is in the final stages of negotiating a sale of MerchantWired LLC to a third party for cash and contingent consideration. Completing the sale is subject to finalizing the termination or modification of certain third party contracts, the buyer obtaining credit approval from its lenders, and certain regulatory and other matters. As a condition of this transaction, the SPG Operating Partnership will also acquire approximately $24 million of cable and related infrastructure from MerchantWired LLC and will make an $8 million additional contribution to MerchantWired LLC. These proceeds, along with proceeds from other members, will be used by MerchantWired LLC to satisfy amounts outstanding under various lease arrangements and trade payables, resulting in the members being relieved of all guarantee arrangements. Management expects the transaction to close in April. The amount of contingent consideration due to the SPG Operating Partnership and the other members will be determined based upon a multiple of annualized December 2003 and December 2004 MerchantWired LLC revenues. If this transaction is not completed, the future of MerchantWired LLC will be impacted unless MerchantWired LLC is able to obtain future capital commitments.

General. Certain of the Properties are cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized as part of a group of properties. Under certain of the cross-default provisions, a default under any mortgage included in the cross-defaulted package may constitute a default under all such mortgages and may lead to acceleration of the indebtedness due on each Property within the collateral package. Certain indebtedness is subject to financial performance covenants relating to leverage ratios, annual real property appraisal requirements, debt service coverage ratios, minimum net worth ratios, debt-to-market capitalization, and minimum equity values. Debt premiums and discounts are amortized over the terms of the related debt instruments. Certain mortgages and notes payable may be prepaid but are generally subject to a prepayment of a yield-maintenance premium.
Mortgages and Other Notes. Certain of the Properties are pledged as collateral to secure the related mortgage notes. The net book value of these Properties was $3.6 billion at December 31, 2001. The fixed
69
and variable mortgage notes are nonrecourse. In addition, certain notes have partial guarantees by various limited partner Unitholders of approximately $559.3 million. The fixed-rate mortgages generally require monthly payments of principal and/or interest. Variable-rate mortgages are typically based on LIBOR.
Unsecured Notes. Certain of the SPG Operating Partnership's unsecured notes totaling $825.0 million with weighted average interests and maturities of 8.0% and 6.1 years, respectively, are structurally senior in right of payment to holders of other SPG Operating Partnership unsecured notes to the extent of the assets and related cash flows of certain Properties. Certain of the unsecured notes are guaranteed by the SPG Operating Partnership.
On February 4, 1999, the SPG Operating Partnership completed the sale of $600.0 million of senior unsecured notes. These notes include two $300.0 million tranches. The first tranche bears interest at 6.75% and matures on February 4, 2004 and the second tranche bears interest at 7.125% and matures on February 4, 2009. The SPG Operating Partnership used the net proceeds of approximately $594.0 million to retire the $450.0 million initial tranche of the Merger Facility (see below) and to pay $142.0 million on the outstanding balance of the Credit Facility (see below).
On January 11, 2001, the SPG Operating Partnership issued $500.0 million of unsecured debt to institutional investors pursuant to Rule 144A in two tranches. The first tranche is $300.0 million bearing an interest rate of 73/8% due January 20, 2006 and the second tranche is $200.0 million bearing an interest rate of 73/4% due January 20, 2011. The net proceeds of the offering were used to repay the remaining portion of the indebtedness under the Merger Facility due March 24, 2001 and to repay a portion of the Merger Facility due September 24, 2001.
On August 6, 2001, the SPG Operating Partnership retired the third and final tranche of the Merger Facility totaling $435.0 million. The SPG Operating Partnership generated the funds used to retire this debt primarily from its $277.0 million financing of four mall properties at a fixed rate of 6.99%, its $110.0 million financing of one office complex at LIBOR plus 115 basis points, and excess cash flow.
On October 26, 2001, the SPG Operating Partnership completed the sale of $750.0 million of 6.375% senior unsecured notes due November 15, 2007. Net proceeds from the offering were initially used to reduce the outstanding balance of the Credit Facility. Ultimately, the SPG Operating Partnership plans to retire mortgage indebtedness on six wholly-owned properties and to retire $250.0 million of 9% bonds that mature in early 2002 with borrowings from the Credit Facility.
Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is a $1.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facility. During 1999, the SPG Operating Partnership obtained a three-year extension on the Credit Facility to August of 2002, with an additional one-year extension available at the SPG Operating Partnership's option. The Credit Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 65 basis points and provides for different pricing based upon our corporate credit rating, with an additional 15 basis point facility fee on the entire $1.25 billion. The maximum and average amounts outstanding during 2001 under the Credit Facility were $863.0 million and $581.5 million, respectively. The Credit Facility is primarily used for funding acquisition, renovation and expansion and predevelopment opportunities. At December 31, 2001, the Credit Facility had an effective interest rate of 2.53%, with $1.1 billion available after outstanding borrowings and letters of credit. The Credit Facility contains financial covenants relating to a capitalization value, minimum EBITDA and unencumbered EBITDA ratios and minimum equity values.
Merger Facility. In conjunction with the merger with Corporate Property Investors, Inc. ("CPI Merger") in 1998, the SPG Operating Partnership and SPG, as co-borrowers, closed a $1.4 billion medium
70
term unsecured bridge loan (the "Merger Facility"). On August 6, 2001, the SPG Operating Partnership retired the third and final tranche of the Merger Facility totaling $435.0 million. The SPG Operating Partnership generated the funds used to retire this debt primarily from its $277.0 million financing of four mall properties at fixed rate of 6.99%, its $110.0 million financing of one office complex at LIBOR plus 115 basis points, and excess cash flow.
Euro Facility. On July 31, 2000 the SPG Operating Partnership entered into a Euro-denominated unsecured Credit Agreement to fund its European investment. This Credit Agreement consists of a 25 million Euros term loan and a 35 million Euros revolving credit facility. The interest rate for each loan is Euribor plus 60 basis points, with a facility fee of 15 basis points. The interest rate on 30 million Euros is swapped at 7.75%. The maturity date is July 31, 2004 including a one year extension.
Debt Maturity and Other

2002 | $ | 665,485 | ||
2003 | 1,358,315 | |||
2004 | 1,532,302 | |||

Total mortgages and other notes payable | $ | 8,841,378 | ||
Cash paid for interest, net of any amounts capitalized, during 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $588,889, $646,184, and $566,156, respectively.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Prior to the adoption of accounting standard SFAS 133 relating to derivatives (refer to Note 13), the SPG Operating Partnership had entered into interest rate protection agreements in the form of "cap" or "swap" arrangements with respect to certain of its mortgages and other notes payable. The total notional amount outstanding under these arrangements was $213.2 million as of December 31, 2000. The unamortized balance of these agreements was $248 as of December 31, 2000.
As of December 31, 2001, the SPG Operating Partnership has recorded derivatives at their fair values of $1.0 million included in other assets, $10.6 million included in other liabilities, and $3.7 million in mortgage and other notes payable as appropriate. These derivatives consist of LIBOR and EURIBOR based swaps, caps, collars, and cross-currency interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $758.6 million, with maturity dates ranging from July 2003 to January 2005. Joint venture derivatives with a total asset fair value of $337 consist of interest rate caps with a total notional amount of $1.0 billion, with maturity dates ranging from January 2002 to May 2006. Within the next twelve months, the SPG Operating Partnership expects to reclassify to earnings approximately $4.6 million of expense of the current balance held in accumulated other comprehensive income.
71
The SPG Operating Partnership's exposure to market risk due to changes in interest rates primarily relates to the SPG Operating Partnership's long-term debt obligations. The SPG Operating Partnership manages exposure to interest rate market risk through its risk management strategy by a combination of interest rate protection agreements to effectively fix or cap a portion of variable rate debt, or in the case of a fair value hedge, effectively convert fixed rate debt to variable rate debt. The SPG Operating Partnership is also exposed to foreign currency risk on financings of certain foreign operations. To manage foreign currency exchange rate risk as part of its risk management strategy, the SPG Operating Partnership has also entered into a foreign currency forward contract. The SPG Operating Partnership's intent is to offset gains and losses that occur on the underlying exposures with gains and losses on the derivative contracts hedging these exposures. The SPG Operating Partnership does not enter into either interest rate protection or foreign currency rate protection agreements for speculative purposes.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of variable-rate mortgages and other loans represents their fair values. The fair values of fixed-rate mortgages and other notes payable are estimated using cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates and at current market rates, respectively. The fair values of financial instruments and related discount rate assumptions used in the estimate of fair value for fixed-rate mortgages and other notes payable are summarized as follows:

9. Rentals under Operating Leases
The SPG Operating Partnership receives rental income from the leasing of retail and mixed-use space under operating leases. Future minimum rentals to be received under noncancelable operating leases for each of the next five years and thereafter, excluding tenant reimbursements of operating expenses and percentage rent based on tenant sales volume, as of December 31, 2001, are as follows:
2002 | $ | 1,026,690 | |
2003 | 955,179 | ||
2004 | 862,562 | ||

2006 | 676,562 | ||
Thereafter | 2,234,530 | ||
$ | 6,528,253 | ||
Approximately 1.5% of future minimum rents to be received are attributable to leases with an affiliate of a limited partner in the SPG Operating Partnership.

SPG Properties, Inc. Merger. The Boards of Directors of SPG and SPG Properties, Inc. ("SPG Properties"), a general partner of the SPG Operating Partnership, on May 8, 2001 approved an agreement for the merger of SPG Properties into SPG in order to simplify the organizational structure of the Companies. The merger was completed and became effective on July 1, 2001. SPG previously owned
73
99.999% of the common stock of SPG Properties. In the merger, outstanding shares of SPG Properties' preferred stock were converted into shares of SPG preferred stock having substantially identical terms. SPG Properties' Series B preferred stock was converted to Series F preferred stock of SPG and SPG Properties' Series C preferred stock was converted to Series G preferred stock of SPG. SPG holds preferred units in the SPG Operating Partnership with economic terms substantially identical to the corresponding class of SPG preferred stock. The preferred units shown as Series as Series F and G above prior to the merger with SPG Properties represented the preferred units associated with the two classes of SPG Properties preferred stock.
On January 27, 2000, SD Property Group, Inc., a substantially wholly owned subsidiary of SPG Properties, merged with and into SPG Properties.
Series A Convertible Preferred Units. During 2001, 1,220 units of the SPG Operating Partnership's Series A Convertible Preferred Units were converted into 46,355 Paired Units.

During 2000, 2,212 Series A Convertible Preferred Units were converted into 84,046 Paired Units. In addition, another 1,242 Paired Units were issued to the holders of the converted units in lieu of the cash dividends allocable to those preferred units. Each of the Series A Convertible Preferred Units has a liquidation preference of $1,000 and is convertible into 37.995 Paired Units, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The Series A Convertible Preferred Units are not redeemable, except as needed to maintain or bring the direct or indirect ownership of the capital stock of SPG into conformity with REIT requirements.
Series B Convertible Preferred Units. Each of the Series B Convertible Preferred Units has a liquidation preference of $100 and is convertible into 2.586 Paired Units, subject to adjustment under circumstances identical to those of the Series A Preferred Units. SPG may redeem the Series B Preferred Units on or after September 24, 2003 at a price beginning at 105% of the liquidation preference plus accrued dividends and declining to 100% of the liquidation preference plus accrued dividends any time on or after September 24, 2008.
Series C and D Preferred Units. In connection with the NED Acquisition, the SPG Operating Partnership issued two new series of preferred Units during 1999 as a component of the consideration for the Properties acquired. The SPG Operating Partnership authorized 2,700,000, and issued 2,584,227, 7.00% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Units (the "7.00% Preferred Units") having a liquidation value of $28.00 per Unit. During 2001, an additional 16,668 Units were issued that were held back at the time of acquisition pursuant to the resolution of a closing contingency. The 7.00% Preferred Units accrue cumulative dividends at a rate of $1.96 annually, which is payable quarterly in arrears. The 7.00% Preferred Units are convertible at the holders' option on or after August 27, 2004, into either a like number of shares of 7.00% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock of SPG with terms substantially identical to the 7.00% Preferred Units or Paired Units at a ratio of 0.75676 to one provided that the closing stock price of SPG's Paired Shares exceeds $37.00 for any three consecutive trading days prior to the conversion date. The SPG Operating Partnership may redeem the 7.00% Preferred Units at their liquidation value plus accrued and unpaid distributions on or after August 27, 2009, payable in Paired Units. In the event of the death of a holder of the 7.00% Preferred Units, or the occurrence of certain tax triggering events applicable to a holder, the SPG Operating Partnership may be required to redeem the 7.00% Preferred Units at liquidation value payable at the option of the SPG Operating Partnership in either cash (the payment of which may be made in four equal annual installments) or Paired Shares.
74
The SPG Operating Partnership also authorized 2,700,000, and issued 2,584,227, 8.00% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units (the "8.00% Preferred Units") having a liquidation value of $30.00.

As part of the consideration for the purchase of ownership in Mall of America, SPG issued 1,000,000 shares of Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series E Preferred Stock") for $24,242, net of issuance costs. The Series E Preferred Stock is redeemable beginning August 27, 2004 at the liquidation value of $25 per share. The carrying value is being accreted to the liquidation value over the non-redeemable period. SPG contributed the interest in Mall of America to the SPG Operating Partnership in exchange for cash and the preferred units with economic terms identical to the Series E Preferred Stock.
Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units. SPG Properties, formerly a general partner of the SPG Operating Partnership, previously had outstanding 8,000,000 shares of 8.75% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and also held preferred units in the SPG Operating Partnership with economic terms substantially identical to the corresponding class of SPG Properties preferred stock. As part of the merger of SPG and SPG Properties, SPG issued 8,000,000 shares of 8.75% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series F Preferred Shares") in exchange for SPG Properties' 8.75% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Stock on a share-for-share basis. The Series F Preferred Shares may be redeemed any time on or after September 29, 2006, at a liquidation value of $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The liquidation value (other than the portion thereof consisting of accrued and unpaid dividends) is payable solely out of the sale proceeds of other capital shares of SPG, which may include other series of preferred shares. SPG holds preferred units in the SPG Operating Partnership with economic terms substantially identical to those of the Series F Preferred Shares.
Series G Cumulative Step-Up Premium RateSM Preferred Units. SPG Properties, formerly a general partner of the SPG Operating Partnership, also previously had outstanding 3,000,000 shares of its 7.89% Series C Cumulative Step-Up Premium RateSM Preferred Stock and also held preferred units in the SPG Operating Partnership with economic terms substantially identical to the corresponding class of SPG Properties preferred stock. As part of the merger of SPG and SPG Properties, SPG issued 3,000,000 shares of 7.89% Series G Cumulative Step-Up Premium RateSM Preferred Stock (the "Series G Preferred Shares") in exchange for SPG Properties' 7.89% Series C Cumulative Step-Up Premium RateSM Preferred Stock on a share-for-share basis. The Series G Preferred Shares have a liquidation value of $50.00 per
75
share. Beginning October 1, 2012, the rate increases to 9.89% per annum. Management intends to redeem the Series G Preferred Shares prior to October 1, 2012. Beginning September 30, 2007, SPG may redeem the Series G Preferred Shares in whole or in part, using only the sale proceeds of other capital stock of SPG, at a liquidation value of $50.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid distributions, if any, thereon. Additionally, the Series G Preferred Shares have no stated maturity and are not subject to any mandatory redemption provisions, nor are they convertible into any other securities of SPG. SPG holds preferred units in the SPG Operating Partnership with economic terms substantially identical to those of the Series G Preferred Stock.
Notes Receivable from Former CPI Shareholders
Notes receivable of $19,113 from former CPI shareholders, which result from securities issued under CPI's executive compensation program and were assumed in the CPI Merger, are reflected as a deduction from capital in excess of par value in the statements of partners' equity in the accompanying financial statements. Certain of such notes totaling $1,465 bear interest at rates ranging from 6.00% to 7.50% and become due during 2002. The remainder of the notes do not bear interest and become due at the time the underlying Units are sold.
The Simon Property Group 1998 Stock Incentive Plan
The SPG Operating Partnership and SPG have a stock incentive plan (the "1998 Plan"), which provides for the grant of equity-based awards during a ten-year period, in the form of options to purchase Paired Shares ("Options"), stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock grants and performance unit awards (collectively, "Awards"). Options may be granted which are qualified as "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code and Options which are not so qualified. The Companies have reserved for issuance 6,300,000 Paired Shares under the 1998 Plan. Additionally, the partnership agreements require the Companies to sell Paired Shares to the Operating Partnerships, at fair value, sufficient to satisfy the exercising of stock options, and for the Companies to purchase Paired Units for cash in an amount equal to the fair market value of such Paired Shares.
Administration. The 1998 Plan is administered by SPG's Compensation Committee (the "Committee"). The Committee, in its sole discretion, determines which eligible individuals may participate and the type, extent and terms of the Awards to be granted to them. In addition, the Committee interprets the 1998 Plan and makes all other determinations deemed advisable for the administration of the 1998 Plan. Options granted to employees ("Employee Options") become exercisable over the period determined by the Committee. The exercise price of an Employee Option may not be less than the fair market value of the Paired Shares on the date of grant. Employee Options generally vest over a three-year period and expire ten years from the date of grant.
Director Options. The 1998 Plan provides for automatic grants of Options to directors ("Director Options") of the Companies who are not also employees of the SPG Operating Partnership or its affiliates ("Eligible Directors"). Under the 1998 Plan, each Eligible Director is automatically granted Director Options to purchase 5,000 Paired Shares upon the director's initial election to the Board of Directors, and upon each reelection, an additional 3,000 Director Options multiplied by the number of calendar years that have elapsed since such person's last election to the Board of Directors. The exercise price of the options is equal to the fair market value of the Paired Shares on the date of grant. Director Options become vested and exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant or at such earlier time as a
76
"change in control" of the Companies (as defined in the 1998 Plan). Director Options terminate 30 days after the optionee ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors.
Restricted Stock. The 1998 Plan also provides for shares of restricted common stock of the Companies to be granted to certain employees at no cost to those employees, subject to growth targets established by the Compensation Committee (the "Restricted Stock Program"). Restricted stock vests annually in four installments of 25% each beginning on January 1 following the year in which the restricted stock is awarded. The cost of restricted stock grants, which is based upon the stock's fair market value at the time such stock is earned, awarded and issued, is charged to partners' equity and subsequently amortized against earnings of the SPG Operating Partnership over the vesting period. Through December 31, 2001 a total of 2,697,806 Paired Shares, net of forfeitures, were awarded.

The SPG Operating Partnership accounts for stock-based compensation programs using the intrinsic value method. This method measures compensation expense as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date over the amount the employee must pay to acquire the stock. Options granted to Directors in 2001 vest over a twelve-month period while the employee options granted in 2001 vest over three years. The impact on pro forma net income and earnings per share as a result of applying the fair value method, as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which requires entities to measure compensation costs measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award, was not material.
The fair value of the options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Exchange Rights
Limited partners in the Operating Partnerships have the right to exchange all or any portion of their Paired Units for Paired shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis or cash, as selected by the Board of Directors. The amount of cash to be paid if the exchange right is exercised and the cash option is selected will be based on the trading price of the Companies' common stock at that time. The Companies have reserved 63,930,350 Paired Shares for possible issuance upon the exchange of Paired Units.
11. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
Triple Five of Minnesota, Inc., a Minnesota corporation, v. Melvin Simon, et. al. On or about November 9, 1999, Triple Five of Minnesota, Inc. ("Triple Five") commenced an action in the District Court for the State of Minnesota, Fourth Judicial District, against, among others, Mall of America, certain members of the Simon family and entities allegedly controlled by such individuals, and the SPG Operating Partnership. Two transactions form the basis of the complaint: (i) the sale by Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America of one-half of its partnership interest in Mall of America Company and
78
Minntertainment Company to the SPG Operating Partnership and related entities (the "Teachers Sale"); and (ii) a financing transaction involving a loan in the amount of $312,000 obtained from The Chase Manhattan Bank ("Chase") that is secured by a mortgage placed on Mall of America's assets (the "Chase Mortgage"). The complaint, which contains twelve counts, seeks remedies of damages, rescission, constructive trust, accounting, and specific performance. Although the complaint names all defendants in several counts, the SPG Operating Partnership is specifically identified as a defendant in connection with the Teachers Sale. The litigation is currently in the discovery stage. The SPG Operating Partnership believes that the Triple Five litigation is without merit and intends to defend the action vigorously. The SPG Operating Partnership believes that the Triple Five litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the SPG Operating Partnership. Given the early stage of the litigation it is not possible to provide an assurance of the ultimate outcome of the litigation or an estimate of the amount or range of potential loss, if any.
Carlo Agostinelli et al. v. DeBartolo Realty Corp. et al. On October 16, 1996, a complaint was filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Mahoning County, Ohio, captioned Carlo Agostinelli et al. v. DeBartolo Realty Corp. et al. The named defendants are SD Property Group, Inc., an indirect 99%-owned subsidiary of SPG, and DeBartolo Properties Management, Inc., a subsidiary of the Management Company, and the plaintiffs are 27 former employees of the defendants. In the complaint, the plaintiffs alleged that they were recipients of deferred stock grants under the DeBartolo Realty Corporation ("DRC") Stock Incentive Plan (the "DRC Plan") and that these grants immediately vested under the DRC Plan's "change in control" provision as a result of the merger with DRC. Plaintiffs asserted that the defendants' refusal to issue them approximately 542,000 shares of DRC common stock, which is equivalent to approximately 370,000 Paired Shares computed at the 0.68 exchange ratio used in the DRC Merger, constituted a breach of contract and a breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing under Ohio law. Plaintiffs sought damages equal to such number of shares of DRC common stock, or cash in lieu thereof, equal to all deferred stock ever granted to them under the DRC Plan, dividends on such stock from the time of the grants, compensatory damages for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and punitive damages. The plaintiffs and the defendants each filed motions for summary judgment. On October 31, 1997, the Court of Common Pleas entered a judgment in favor of the defendants granting their motion for summary judgment. The plaintiffs appealed this judgment to the Seventh District Court of Appeals in Ohio. On August 18, 1999, the District Court of Appeals reversed the summary judgment order in favor of the defendants entered by the Common Pleas Court and granted plaintiffs' cross motion for summary judgment, remanding the matter to the Common Pleas Court for the determination of plaintiffs' damages. The defendants petitioned the Ohio Supreme Court asking that they exercise their discretion to review and reverse the Appellate Court decision, but the Ohio Supreme Court did not grant the petition for review. The case was remanded to the Court of Common Pleas of Mahoning County, Ohio, to conduct discovery relevant to each plaintiff's damages and the counterclaims asserted by the SPG Operating Partnership. The Trial Court referred these matters to a Magistrate. Plaintiffs filed a Supplemental Motion for Summary Judgment on the question of damages. The Magistrate ruled on the counterclaims and found in Defendants' favor on one of them. On December 27, 2000, the Trial Court rendered judgment for the plaintiffs in the combined total amount of approximately $12,000, which includes a set-off of approximately $2,000 with impact to two of the plaintiffs. Defendants have appealed this judgment and plaintiffs have cross-appealed. The judgment has accrued interest at 10% per annum from and after the DRC Merger Date of August 6, 1996. The SPG Operating Partnership recorded a $12,000 loss in the third quarter of 1999 related to this litigation as an unusual item. On December 19, 2001, the Court of Appeals affirmed in part, reversed in part and remanded for limited trial with respect to the issues of plaintiffs' entitlement to dividends declared before the merger and with respect to the amount of shares claimed by one of the plaintiffs. The
79
Court of Appeals overruled defendants' assignments of error. Defendants have petitioned the Ohio Supreme Court for review. The SPG Operating Partnership believes that established reserves are adequate and the ultimate outcome will not have a material adverse impact on its results of operations.
The SPG Operating Partnership currently is not subject to any other material litigation other than routine litigation, claims and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. On the basis of consultation with counsel, management believes that such routine litigation, claims and administrative proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on the SPG Operating Partnership's financial position or its results of operations.
Lease Commitments
As of December 31, 2001, a total of 32 of the consolidated Properties are subject to ground leases. The termination dates of these ground leases range from 2002 to 2090. These ground leases generally require payments by the SPG Operating Partnership of a fixed annual rent, or a fixed annual rent plus a participating percentage over a base rate. Ground lease expense incurred by the SPG Operating Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, was $13,786, $13,654, and $13,365, respectively.
Future minimum lease payments due under such ground leases for each of the next five years ending December 31 and thereafter are as follows:
2002 | $ | 7,317 | |
2003 | 7,239 | ||
2004 | 6,772 | ||
2005 | 6,804 | ||
2006 | 6,919 | ||
Thereafter | 475,872 | ||
$ | 510,923 | ||
Energy management services
On September 30, 1999, Simon Property Group, L.P. entered into a multi-year contract with Enron Energy Services ("Enron") for Enron to supply or manage all of the energy commodity requirements for the wholly-owned properties and many of the SPG Operating Partnership's joint venture partnerships. The contract includes electricity, natural gas and maintenance of energy conversion assets and electrical systems including lighting. As a result of the December bankruptcy filing by Enron, the SPG Operating Partnership assumed total control over the management of its energy assets throughout the Portfolio, including the purchase and payment of utilities and maintenance and repair of energy related equipment. There was no service interruption to the SPG Operating Partnership's malls or tenants and the SPG Operating Partnership does not anticipate adverse financial consequences from the Enron bankruptcy.
Insurance
The SPG Operating Partnership's portfolio-wide general liability and property insurance policies expired on December 31, 2001. The SPG Operating Partnership renewed these policies, the cost of which is predominantly passed through to tenants, at similar coverage levels, but at price increases aggregating
80
approximately 30% due to the impacts of September 11, 2001. All of the Portfolio Properties have insurance coverage for 2002. The exception to coverage levels is in the area of terrorism, which is excluded in the SPG Operating Partnership's new property coverage. Management believes that the SPG Operating Partnership is in compliance with all insurance provisions of its debt agreements even though the SPG Operating Partnership lacks terrorism insurance coverage.
Environmental Matters
Nearly all of the Properties have been subjected to Phase I or similar environmental audits. Such audits have not revealed nor is management aware of any environmental liability that management believes would have a material adverse impact on the SPG Operating Partnership's financial position or results of operations. Management is unaware of any instances in which it would incur significant environmental costs if any or all Properties were sold, disposed of or abandoned.
12. Related Party Transactions
On April 1, 2001, the SPG Operating Partnership became the managing general partner of SPG Administrative Services Partnership L.P. ("ASP"). In addition, the SPG Operating Partnership acquired an additional 24% partnership interest in ASP from the Management Company. Prior to acquiring the additional interest, ASP was recapitalized with $29.1 million from the Management Company, which was funded by the SPG Operating Partnership through the note receivable from the Management Company, and $0.2 million from the SPG Operating Partnership which was funded through a reduction of ASP's note payable with the SPG Operating Partnership. The SPG Operating Partnership gained control of ASP as a result of the transactions and ASP is consolidated in the SPG Operating Partnership's results since April 1, 2001. ASP was previously consolidated as part of the Management Company. The change in control and consolidation of ASP will not have a material impact on the results of operations of the SPG Operating Partnership and the other aspects of the transaction were not material. ASP employs the majority of the SPG Operating Partnership's employees and was organized to provide services for the Management Company and its affiliates as well as multiple entities controlled by the SPG Operating Partnership.
On December 28, 2000, Montgomery Ward LLC and certain of its related entities ("Ward") filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. On March 1, 2001, Kimco Realty Corporation lead the formation of a limited liability company, Kimsward LLC ("Kimsward"). Kimsward acquired the right from the Bankruptcy Court to designate persons or entities to whom the Ward real estate assets were to be sold. The Management Company's interest in Kimsward was 18.5%. During 2001 the Management Company recorded $18.3 million of equity in income from Kimsward. In addition, the SPG Operating Partnership charged the Management Company a $5.7 million fee for services rendered to the Management Company in connection with the Kimsward transactions, which is included in other income in the accompanying statements of operations. The remaining investment in Kimsward at December 31, 2001 is not material.
The SPG Operating Partnership transferred its $2.2 million note receivable from the SRC Operating Partnership to the Management Company in exchange for an increase in the note receivable from the Management Company to the SPG Operating Partnership.
13. New Accounting Pronouncements
On July 20, 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS 141 further clarifies the criteria to recognize intangible
81
assets separately from goodwill and requires the purchase method of accounting for all acquisitions. SFAS 141 is effective for the SPG Operating Partnership for any business combination that is completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill is no longer amortized but are reviewed annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, for impairment. The amortization provisions of SFAS 142 apply to goodwill and intangible assets acquired by the SPG Operating Partnership after June 30, 2001. With respect to goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001, the SPG Operating Partnership is required to adopt SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002 at which time amortization of the remaining book value of goodwill will cease and the new impairment-only approach will apply and may not be applied retroactively. The SPG Operting Partnership does not expect any impairment on goodwill from the adoption of SFAS 142 and the impact of SFAS 142 will be to eliminate the amortization of goodwill thereby increasing the SPG Operating Partnership's income before allocation to limited partners by approximately $1.2 million annually.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" that supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of." In addition, SFAS No. 144 supersedes the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of OperationsReporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions" for the disposal of a segment of a business. SFAS No. 144 is a broad statement that provides a framework for the evaluation of impairment of long-lived assets, the treatment for assets held for sale or to be otherwise disposed of, and the reporting of discontinued operations. The effective date for adoption of SFAS No. 144 is January 1, 2002. The SPG Operating Partnership is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 144. SFAS No. 144 will also require the SPG Operating Partnership to reclassify the results of operations of properties sold which are not already classified as held for sale out of operating income into discontinued operations for all years presented.
On January 1, 2001 the SPG Operating Partnership adopted SFAS 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended in June of 2000 by SFAS 138, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 133, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and requires the SPG Operating Partnership to record on the balance sheet all derivative instruments at fair value and to recognize certain non-cash changes in these fair values either in the income statement or other comprehensive income, as appropriate under SFAS 133. SFAS 133 currently impacts the accounting for the SPG Operating Partnership's interest rate and foreign currency rate risk protection agreements.
On adoption of SFAS 133, the SPG Operating Partnership recorded the difference between the fair value of the derivative instruments and the previous carrying amount of those derivatives on its balance sheet and in net income or other comprehensive income, as appropriate, as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in accordance with APB 20 "Accounting Changes." On adoption, the SPG Operating Partnership's net fair value of derivatives was ($2.0) million, of which $3.1 million was recorded in other liabilities and $1.1 million was recorded in other assets. In addition, $2.0 million of unrecognized loss was recorded in other comprehensive income as a cumulative effect of accounting change and an expense of $1.7 million was recorded as a cumulative effect of accounting change in the statement of operations, which includes the SPG Operating Partnership's $1.5 million share of joint venture cumulative effect of accounting change.
On December 3, 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), which addressed certain revenue recognition policies, including the accounting for
82
overage rent by a landlord. SAB 101 requires overage rent to be recognized as revenue only when each tenant's sales exceeds its sales threshold. The SPG Operating Partnership previously recognized overage rent based on reported and estimated sales through the end of the period, less the applicable prorated base sales amount. The SPG Operating Partnership adopted SAB 101 effective January 1, 2000 and recorded a loss from the cumulative effect of an accounting change of $12.3 million in the first quarter of 2000, which includes the SPG Operating Partnership's $1.8 million share from unconsolidated entities.

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce each other to enter into the Purchase Agreement and in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements and covenants hereinafter set forth, Wallaby, Hoosier and Terrapin hereby agree as follows: ARTICLE I DEFINED TERMS 1.01 DEFINED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement. In addition, the following terms shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in this Section 1.01: (a) "ASSETS TO BE SOLD" means the properties or assets reflected on the Master Schedule under the heading "Assets to be Sold." (b) "DEFAULT PERCENTAGE" means the Gross Asset Value of the Purchaser/Target JV Assets that a Non-Purchasing Party is required to purchase pursuant to Section 3.02(c), divided by the Gross Asset Value of all of the Assets of Target and the Target Subsidiaries to be purchased under the Purchase Agreement (including any Assets to be Sold that have not been sold by Target (or the applicable Target Subsidiary) prior to the Closing, Three Party Assets and properties and assets that are allocated to the 1 Purchasing Party(ies)). As of the date of this Agreement, the Gross Asset Value of all of the Assets of Target and the Target Subsidiaries to be purchased is $5,438,205,000. (c) "GP" means Head Acquisition, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. (d) "GROSS ASSET VALUE" means, with respect to each property or asset, the amount listed under the heading "RNA Share of Gross Asset Value" on the Master Schedule. For purposes of Section 2.02(d) only, "Gross Asset Value" shall be the amount set forth on the Master Schedule attached hereto as EXHIBIT A and shall not be recalculated prior to the Closing. For all purposes of this Agreement, "Gross Asset Value" does not include the amount of any indebtedness with respect to any Asset to be Sold other than River Ridge, South Square and 745 Fifth Avenue.

(All revisions to the Master Schedule pursuant to clause (ii) of this definition shall require the approval of all of the Purchasers, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as the proposed revisions are consistent with the provisions of clause (ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the pending ground rent dispute with respect to San Francisco Centre is resolved prior to the Closing, the NOI reflected in the Master Schedule with respect to San Francisco Centre will be revised to reflect such resolution.) Each party hereby acknowledges and agrees that the entries in the Master Schedule are relevant solely for purposes of determining their respective aggregate obligations under the Purchase Agreement and under this Agreement. However, each 2 party may have valued each of the assets or properties allocated to it at an amount different from that set forth in the Master Schedule and the Master Schedule shall not be an admission as to the valuation of any property or asset. (h) "MINIMUM PRICE" shall have the meaning set forth in a schedule to be agreed to by all of Wallaby, Hoosier and Terrapin. (i) "PERCENTAGE INTEREST" means 43.359% (in the case of Wallaby), 29.315% (in the case of Hoosier) and 27.326% (in the case of Terrapin), in each case, as shown on the Master Schedule attached hereto as EXHIBIT A as of the date of this Agreement. The Purchaser's respective Percentage Interests will be revised from time to time based on changes to the Master Schedule made in accordance with the terms hereof. (j) "PURCHASER/TARGET JV ASSET" means (i) Garden State Plaza, with respect to Wallaby, (ii) Coral Square, Miami International, West Town Mall and Florida Mall, with respect to Hoosier, and (iii) Collin Creek, Perimeter Mall and Willowbrook, with respect to Terrapin. (k) "TERRAPIN ASSETS" means the properties or assets reflected on the Master Schedule under the heading of "Rouse Assets". (l) "THREE PARTY ASSETS" means the properties or assets reflected on the Master Schedule under the heading "Three Party Assets", together with any other Assets (other than the Wallaby Assets, the Hoosier Assets, the Terrapin Assets and the Assets to be Sold) to which Purchasers are entitled (and purchase) under the Purchase Agreement. (m) "URBAN OP" means Urban Shopping Centers, L.P., an Illinois limited partnership. (n) "URBAN RETAIL" means Urban Retail Properties Co. (o) "WALLABY ASSETS" means the properties or assets reflected on the Master Schedule under the heading of "Westfield Assets". ARTICLE II THE ASSETS 2.01 ALLOCATION OF ASSETS; PURCHASE PRICE. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, Wallaby, Hoosier and Terrapin agree that (i) Hoosier (or one or more of its designees) shall purchase the Hoosier Assets; (ii) Terrapin (or one or more of its designees) shall purchase the Terrapin Assets; (iii) Wallaby (or one or more of its designees) shall 3 purchase the Wallaby Assets; and (iv) the Three Party Assets and the Assets to be Sold shall be purchased by Wallaby, Hoosier and Terrapin (or one or more of their respective affiliates) through the GP or as otherwise agreed to by all of the Purchasers). The aggregate cash purchase price shall be determined in accordance with the Purchase Agreement and, at the Closing, the amounts payable by each of Wallaby, Hoosier and Terrapin, as the case may be, shall be an amount equal to (A) such Purchaser's "Share of Cash Consideration to RNA Shareholders" (as set forth on the Master Schedule) plus (B) such party's Percentage Interest in any and all other amounts payable by Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (including, without limitation, the Additional Amount, if any, and any amounts payable as of the Closing Date pursuant to Section 5.7(a) of the Purchase Agreement). For purposes of illustration, if the Master Schedule as of the Closing Date is identical to the Master Schedule attached hereto as EXHIBIT A and the Purchasers were obligated to pay an additional $50,000,000 pursuant to clause (B), then (x) Wallaby would be required to pay the euro ((euro)) equivalent of $975,112,000 plus $21,679,500 (i.e. 43.359% of $50,000,000), (y) Hoosier would be required to pay the euro ((euro)) equivalent of $715,517,000 plus $14,657,500 (i.e. 29.315% of $50,000,000), (z) Terrapin would be required to pay the euro ((euro)) equivalent of $541,432,000 plus $13,663,000 (i.e. 27.326% of $50,000,000). All such amounts shall be paid in cash by each of Wallaby, Hoosier and Terrapin in euros to the extent required by the Purchase Agreement. To the extent currency fluctuation results in an increase or decrease in the amounts payable under the Purchase Agreement relating to the allocations based on dollars (U.S.) in the Master Schedule, then the obligation of each of Wallaby, Hoosier and Terrapin to pay its portion of the purchase price in euros shall be increased or decreased under this Section 2.01(a) to reflect such currency fluctuation. (b) If a direct or indirect transfer of any property or asset identified as a Wallaby Asset, a Hoosier Asset or a Terrapin Asset to Wallaby (or its designee(s)), Hoosier (or its designee(s)) or Terrapin (or its designee(s)), as the case may be, is determined not to be the most efficient structure for the transaction or cannot be accomplished based on existing contractual limitations, then Wallaby, Hoosier and Terrapin shall cooperate in arranging the sale or other transfer of ownership of such property or asset, or of the entity owned by Target which directly or indirectly owns the relevant property or asset, to the party which otherwise would have purchased the property or asset. However, if such entity is to own properties and/or assets allocated to two or more of Wallaby, Terrapin and Hoosier, then such properties and/or assets shall be jointly owned by an entity created in accordance with this Agreement or as otherwise agreed to by the affected Purchasers. It is currently expected that an arrangement of the type described in this Section 2.01(b) will be required with respect to the properties and other assets of the Urban OP, the Three Party Assets and any of the Assets to be Sold that are not sold by Target prior to the Closing. Wallaby, Hoosier and Terrapin (or their designees) shall contribute cash for the purchase of any such entity in the manner described in this Agreement or as otherwise agreed to by all of the Purchasers prior to the Closing. Wallaby, Hoosier and Terrapin shall cooperate in establishing the structure of 4 such jointly owned entities in order to avoid unnecessary expense and to minimize any adverse financial or tax consequences of these entities. (c) Wallaby, Hoosier and Terrapin shall use their reasonable best efforts to sell the Assets to be Sold as soon as practicable, in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement. Wallaby, Hoosier and Terrapin shall consult and cooperate with one another in connection with the sale of the Assets to be Sold, and in determining the terms and conditions of the sale contracts with respect to the Assets to be Sold. The consent of all of Wallaby, Hoosier and Terrapin shall be required for any agreement to sell an Assets to be Sold; provided, however, that the parties agree that, following the completion of the marketing program agreed upon by the Purchasers and subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, any Asset to be Sold may be sold to a third party that is not affiliated with any of the Purchasers at the request of any of Wallaby, Hoosier or Terrapin at a cash price equal to at least 95% of the Minimum Price regardless of the objections of any other Purchaser(s). In the event that more than one Purchaser desires to invoke the immediately preceding sentence, a majority of the Purchasers shall determine the collective actions to be taken by the Purchasers. In the event that an Asset to be Sold is sold to a third party after the Closing, the net proceeds from such sale shall be distributed to Wallaby, Hoosier and Terrapin (or shall reduce their obligation to fund their cash purchase price, if the sale is completed prior to the Closing), based on their respective Percentage Interests. Decisions regarding brokers and similar matters relating to the process by which purchasers are solicited for any Asset to be Sold shall require the consent of any two of Wallaby, Hoosier and Terrapin. 2.02 LIABILITIES; TRANSFER TAXES; REPAYMENT OF DEBT; REDEMPTION OF URBAN PREFERRED; DAMAGED ASSETS; INTANGIBLE ASSETS; OTHER MATTERS. (a) ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES; ALLOCATION OF LIABILITIES; TRANSFER TAXES. Wallaby (or its designee(s)) shall assume (or take subject to) all liabilities and obligations specifically related to the Wallaby Assets (including mortgage and secured debt), Terrapin (or its designee(s)) shall assume (or take subject to) all liabilities and obligations specifically related to the Terrapin Assets (including mortgage and secured debt) and Hoosier (or its designee(s)) shall assume (or take subject to) all liabilities and obligations specifically related to the Hoosier Assets (including mortgage and secured debt) (all such liabilities and obligations, "ASSET SPECIFIC LIABILITIES"). For purposes of this Section 2.02(a), all interest rate swaps, caps, treasury locks and other derivatives and hedges shall be allocated to the debt to which these instruments or arrangements relate and the costs of unwinding these instruments or arrangements shall be borne in accordance with this allocation. Transfer taxes, transfer fees, lender consent fees and other similar amounts payable to third parties in connection with the transfer of any property or asset pursuant to the Purchase Agreement shall be allocated to the party to whom such property or asset is allocated regardless of whether that property or asset is acquired by such party directly or is held as a Jointly Owned Allocated Asset. 5 (b) UNALLOCATED LIABILITIES. Except as set forth in this Agreement, liabilities under the Purchase Agreement which are not Asset Specific Liabilities shall be assumed or paid at the Closing based on the Percentage Interests of Wallaby, Hoosier and Terrapin. These liabilities shall include the obligations of Purchasers under Section 5.11 of the Purchase Agreement and debt issued by Target or any Target Subsidiary that is not an Asset Specific Liability to the extent not repaid by Target on or prior to the Closing. Obligations under Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement shall be allocated to Wallaby, Hoosier or Terrapin in accordance with their Percentage Interests except to the extent that employees are clearly allocable solely to a Wallaby Asset, a Hoosier Asset or a Terrapin Asset, in which case, Wallaby, Hoosier or Terrapin, as appropriate, shall assume such obligation. (c) REPAYMENT OF UNALLOCATED DEBT AT CLOSING. If the Purchasers unanimously elect, or are required by one or more third parties, to repay at the Closing any indebtedness of Target or any Target Subsidiary (other than Asset Specific Liabilities, which shall be the sole and exclusive responsibility of the party to which the property or asset in question has been allocated), at the Closing, each of Wallaby, Hoosier and Terrapin shall pay in cash its Percentage Interest of the indebtedness to be repaid. For these purposes, "indebtedness" shall be deemed to include the costs of unwinding any interest rate swaps, caps, treasury locks and other derivatives and hedges associated with the indebtedness that is being repaid. Each of Wallaby, Hoosier and Terrapin hereby acknowledges and agrees that the indebtedness described on Exhibit B attached hereto will be repaid by the Purchasers in connection with the Closing. Any Non-Purchasing Party (as defined in Section 3.02(b)) shall, without duplication of amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.02(c), pay in cash at the Closing its Default Percentage multiplied by the aggregate amount of the indebtedness to be repaid in accordance with this Section 2.02(c). (d) CONVERSION OF DAMAGED ASSETS TO THREE PARTY ASSETS. If any Wallaby Asset, Terrapin Asset or Hoosier Asset suffers Damages (as defined below) prior to the Closing, but the Purchasers are obligated to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, then, at the election of the Purchaser to which the damaged property or asset has been allocated, such damaged property or asset shall be purchased as a Three Party Asset with each of Wallaby, Hoosier and Terrapin contributing to the purchase price for such property or asset in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests (as adjusted to reflect the operation of this Section 2.02(d)). "Damages" shall mean a change in the value of a property or asset of at least 5% of the Gross Asset Value with respect to such property or asset to the extent not covered by insurance, including casualty loss, claims or obligations relating to environmental or tax liability, and litigation unrelated to tenants, employees or the operation of such property or asset consistent with current use, but shall exclude changes resulting from (i) tenant bankruptcies, changes in occupancy rates, changes in rent rolls in the ordinary course of Target's business (as opposed to inaccuracies in Target's representations or warranties in the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Rent Rolls), 6 or collectability of rents associated with that property or asset, (ii) general changes in the economy or financial markets in the United States or any region outside the United States, (iii) changes in Law that affect real estate investment trusts generally, unless such changes have a materially disproportionate effect relative to other properties or assets, and (iv) changes that affect the retail industry or retail real estate properties generally, unless such changes have a disproportionate effect relative to the other properties or assets. In no event (y) will "Damages" include, or be deemed to include, any change in the NOI of San Francisco Centre that results from the resolution of the pending ground rent dispute with the ground lessor, and (z) will Wallaby be entitled to convert San Francisco Centre to a Three Party Asset as a result of such dispute or the resolution thereof. 2.03 INTANGIBLE PROPERTY. All trademarks, service marks, trade dress, logos, trade names and corporate names, whether or not registered, including all common law rights thereto, and registrations and applications for registration thereof, and all other intangible property relating to an property or asset shall become the property of the party acquiring the property or asset. Prior to the Closing, the parties will identify any intangible property, such as management information systems, which may be used in connection with more than one property or asset, and will enter into a mutually satisfactory agreement for the joint use of such property. 2.04 OTHER ASSET-RELATED MATTERS. (a) TERMINATION OF PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS. To the extent permitted under agreements with third parties, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, if requested by a party to whom a specific property or asset has been allocated (i.e. a Wallaby Asset, a Hoosier Asset or a Terrapin Asset), the parties shall cooperate so that the existing management agreements relating to such property or asset shall be terminated (without the need for prior notice or payment of any termination fee) and the party to whom such property or asset is allocated shall have the right to enter into new management agreements with such parties as it may choose. (b) ACCOUNTING PRIOR TO CLOSING; CLOSING ADJUSTMENTS. The Purchasers will endeavor to cause Target and the Target Subsidiaries to account for all items of income and expense relating to the Wallaby Assets, the Hoosier Assets and the Terrapin Assets on a property-by-property basis. To the extent not reflected on the Master Schedule (or the assumptions underlying the entries therein), all capital expenditures after the date hereof with respect to Wallaby Assets, Hoosier Assets and Terrapin Assets will be allocated to, and borne by, the Purchaser to which such asset is allocated. In connection with the Closing, the Purchasers will make customary closing adjustments with respect to the Wallaby Assets, the Hoosier Assets and the Terrapin Assets. All such allocations will be made in a manner to be agreed upon by Wallaby, Hoosier and Terrapin such that, to the maximum extent practicable, each Purchaser derives the benefits and bears the burdens (financial or otherwise) of the properties and/or assets that 7 have been allocated to it. After the Closing, the Purchasers will make appropriate payments to one another to reflect any revisions to such closing adjustments; provided, however, that no such revisions shall be made after March 31, 2003. ARTICLE III CONSENTS; CERTAIN DECISIONS 3.01 CONSENTS. All consents, approvals or waivers to be given by the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement shall require the consent of all of Wallaby, Hoosier and Terrapin, in each case in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that any consents, approvals or waivers that relate exclusively to a Wallaby Asset, a Hoosier Asset or a Terrapin Asset shall be given by Wallaby, Hoosier or Terrapin, respectively, and shall not require the consent or approval of the other parties (unless the liabilities assumed by any non-consenting party would be increased, in which case, that affected non-consenting party's consent also shall be required). Any amendment to the Purchase Agreement shall require the consent of all of Wallaby, Hoosier and Terrapin. 3.02 CLOSING CONDITIONS. (a) The decision as to whether a condition under Section 7.1 of the Purchase Agreement shall be waived shall require the consent of all of Wallaby, Hoosier and Terrapin, except as otherwise set forth herein. (b) Subject to Sections 3.02(c) and 3.02(e) below, if Wallaby, Hoosier and Terrapin (acting in good faith) do not all agree as to whether a condition under Section 7.1 of the Purchase Agreement is satisfied or whether a termination right is available to Purchasers under Article VIII of the Purchase Agreement, and if the party (or parties) which does not believe that the condition is satisfied or which believes that such termination right is available (individually or collectively, as the case may be, the "NON-CONSENTING PARTY") does not waive such condition or desires to exercise such termination right, then the Non-Consenting Party shall have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement, if and when such termination right is available to the Purchasers pursuant to Article VIII of the Purchase Agreement provided the requirements of the following two sentence are satisfied. Each of the Purchasers hereby agrees that if it desires to terminate the Purchase Contract in accordance with this Section 3.02(b), such Non-Consenting Party shall immediately deliver to all of the other Purchasers written notice of its intention to terminate the Purchase Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.02(b) (a "SECTION 3.02(b) TERMINATION NOTICE"). If any single Purchaser does not (or any two Purchasers do not) notify the Non-Consenting Party in writing of its (or their) election to proceed under Section 3.02(c) (such notice, a "SECTION 3.02(b) NEGATION NOTICE") within five (5) business days (or such shorter period of time as is (i) reasonable in light of the 8 scheduled closing date and the Purchasers' ability to postpone the Closing and (ii) specified in the Section 3.02(b) Termination Notice) after their receipt of a Section 3.02(b) Termination Notice, then the Non-Consenting Party will have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement. The Non-Consenting Party hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other parties from all claims by third parties (including, without limitation, Target) arising out of the termination of the Purchase Agreement by the Non-Consenting Party. The Non-Consenting Party shall have the right, at its cost and expense, to defend any such claim and to settle any such claim relating to or arising out of the termination of the Purchase Agreement. The Non-Consenting Party shall have full control of the defense against these claims. If any indemnified party wishes, it may participate at its own cost, but not control, the defense or settlement of any such claim. The Non-Consenting Party shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its consent. The Non-Consenting Party shall not settle any claim unless (i) the terms of such settlement do not impose any obligations on any indemnified party, (ii) the full amount of the monetary settlement will be paid by the Non-Consenting Party, and (iii) each indemnified party receives as part of the settlement a full and unconditional release of its liabilities with respect to the claim. If the Non-Consenting Party obtains a judicial determination (which is not subject to appeal) that there is no liability or other amounts payable to the Target arising out of the termination of the Purchase Agreement, then each of the other parties to this Agreement shall reimburse the Non-Consenting Party for the product of (i) the out-of-pocket expenses of the Non-Consenting Party in connection with the defense of the claims relating to the termination of the Purchase Agreement and (ii) such party's Percentage Interest. (c) Except as set forth in this Section 3.02(c) and subject to Section 3.02(e), if any of the parties is unable or unwilling (including any unwillingness to waive a condition under Section 7.1 of the Purchase Agreement) to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or if any of the Purchasers is a Non-Consenting Party (individually or collectively, as the case may be, the "NON-PURCHASING PARTY), the other parties (individually or collectively, as the case may be, the "PURCHASING PARTY") shall have the right to purchase all the Assets of Target as contemplated under the Purchase Agreement. In that case, (i) except as set forth in this Section 3.02(c), the Non-Purchasing Party shall be relieved of all of its obligations under this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement and (ii) the Purchasing Party will indemnify, defend and hold the Non-Purchasing Party harmless from and against any and all liability arising from or relating to the Purchase Agreement. In the event that such purchase right is exercised by the Purchasing Party, the Non-Purchasing Party hereby agrees to purchase Target's interests in the Purchaser/Target JV Asset(s) applicable to such Non-Purchasing Party simultaneously or as soon as practicable following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. In the event the provisions of this Section 3.02(c) are 9 applicable, (i) all of the properties and assets allocated to the Non-Purchasing Party (other than the applicable Purchaser/Target JV Assets) shall be reallocated to the Purchasing Party(ies), and the Master Schedule will be revised to reflect such reallocation; (ii) the Non-Purchasing Party will have no interest whatsoever in the Assets to be Sold or the Three Party Assets, and the Master Schedule will be revised to indicate that the Non-Purchasing Party's "Share of Value in Three Party Assets" and the Non-Purchasing Party's "Share of Value in Assets to be Sold" are each $0; (iii) the Non-Purchasing Party's Percentage Interest shall be deemed to equal its Default Percentage, and the Master Schedule will be revised to reflect the same; (iv) each of the Purchasing Parties' Percentage Interests will be adjusted to reflect the matters described in clauses (i) - (iii); and (v) the Non-Purchasing Party shall purchase Target's interest the applicable Purchaser/Target JV Asset(s) for an amount, payable in euros ((euro)), calculated in accordance with clause (A) and clause (B) of Section 2.01(a) and on the basis of the Master Schedule as revised pursuant to clauses (i) - (iii).

Each such Tax Return is true, correct and complete in all material respects. Target and each Target Subsidiary has paid, within the time and in the manner prescribed by Law, all Taxes that are due and payable. The most recent financial statements contained in the Target Filings and the financial statements of Hexalon filed prior to the date of this Agreement reflect an adequate reserve or accrued liabilities or expenses for all Taxes due and payable by Target and the Target Subsidiaries for all taxable periods and portions thereof through the date of such financial statements.

(e) Each Target Subsidiary that is a U.S. corporation has disclosed to the IRS all positions taken on their federal income Tax Returns which could give rise to a substantial understatement of Tax under Section 6662 of the Code. (f) Based on the assumptions as to purchase price allocations to specific assets provided by the Purchasers' and as set forth in the Pro Forma Tax Returns, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents will not result in any Taxes being payable by any Target, any Target Subsidiary, any Target Non-Purchased Entity or any Purchaser to any Governmental Entity, except for (i) Excluded Taxes, (ii) Transfer and Gain Taxes not exceeding $15,000,000 in the aggregate and (iii) other Taxes in an aggregate amount not to exceed $3,000,000.

Each Subsidiary -26- of Hexalon and any Person Hexalon owns an interest in which is a partnership, joint venture or limited liability company (i) has been since its formation and continues to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a partnership and not as a corporation or an association taxable as a corporation or ignored as a separate entity, as the case may be, and (ii) has not since its formation owned any assets (including, without limitation, securities) that would cause Hexalon to violate Section 856(c)(4) of the Code. Each Subsidiary of Hexalon which is a corporation or treated as an association taxable as a corporation and any Person in which Hexalon owns 10% or more, by vote or by value, of such Person's outstanding securities, is a qualified REIT subsidiary under Section 856(i) of the Code or a taxable REIT subsidiary under Section 856(l) of the Code. (i) Except as set forth in the Urban Tax Indemnification Agreement, neither Target nor any Target Subsidiary has entered into or is subject, directly or indirectly, to any "Tax Protection Agreements."

(j) Neither Target nor any Target Subsidiary is a party to, is bound by or has an obligation under any Tax sharing agreement, Tax indemnification agreement or similar contract or arrangement (other than Urban Tax Indemnification Agreement), including any agreement, contract or arrangement providing for the sharing or ceding of credits or losses, or has a potential liability or obligation as a result of or pursuant to any such agreement, contract, arrangement or commitment. No closing agreement pursuant to section 7121 of the Code (or any predecessor provision) or any similar provision of any state, local or foreign has been entered into by or on behalf of the Target or any Subsidiary. No power of attorney or similar document which is currently in force has been granted by Target or any Target Subsidiary with respect to any matter relating to Taxes. SECTION 3.15.

(b) Neither Target nor any Target ERISA Affiliate currently sponsors, contributes to, maintains or has liability (whether contingent or otherwise) under (i) a "multiemployer plan" (as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA) or (ii) an employee benefit plan that is or was subject to Part 3 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA, Section 412 of the Code, or Title IV of ERISA. (c) To the Knowledge of Target, there is no violation of ERISA or the Code with respect to (i) the filing of applicable reports, documents, and notices with the Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of the Treasury regarding all "employee benefit plans," as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, and all other employee compensation and benefit arrangements or payroll practices, including, without limitation, severance pay, sick leave, vacation pay, salary continuation for disability, consulting or other compensation agreements, retirement, deferred compensation, bonus (including, without limitation, any retention bonus plan), long-term incentive, stock option, stock purchase, hospitalization, medical insurance, life insurance and scholarship programs maintained by Target or any of the Target Subsidiaries or with respect to which Target or any of the Target Subsidiaries has any liability or Target Pension Plans (all such plans, including Target Pension Plans, being hereinafter referred to as the "TARGET EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS") or (ii) the furnishing of such documents to the participants or beneficiaries of Target Employee Benefit Plans.

(e) Each Target Employee Benefit Plan is, and its administration is and has been, in material compliance with, and none of Target nor any of the Target Subsidiaries has received any claim, notice or information that any such Target Employee Benefit Plan is not in compliance with, its terms and all applicable Laws, regulations, rulings and all other applicable governmental Laws, regulations and orders, and prohibited transaction exemptions, including, without limitation, the requirements of ERISA, bonding requirements and the furnishing of documents to the participants and beneficiaries (and other individuals entitled to such documents) of each such plan.

The initial Pro Forma Tax Returns shall assume a closing of the transactions as of March 31, 2002 at sale prices which Purchasers shall provide to Arthur Andersen, LLP and the sale prices used for the Closing and the final Pro Forma Tax Returns shall be based on the same assumptions as to sales prices (subject, however, to any adjustments to sales prices to reflect any price adjustments provided for in this Agreement and to reflect the effect on the U.S. dollar equivalent price for the assets in the event more, or fewer, U.S. dollar equivalents are -40- payables for the assets relative to the U.S. dollar equivalents used for the initial Pro Forma Tax Returns) except the closing date shall be the date the Purchasers shall indicate as the approximate date of the Closing. The Pro Forma Tax Returns shall disregard the results from operations other than for depreciation and amortization deductions computed as of the Closing Date. (g) The parties hereto shall report for Tax purposes consistently with the sales prices reflected in the final Pro Forma Tax Returns. SECTION 5.3. ACCESS TO INFORMATION; CONFIDENTIALITY. (a) Target shall, shall cause each of the Target Subsidiaries to, and shall use reasonable efforts to cause each Target Non-Subsidiary Entity to, afford to Purchasers and their officers, employees, accountants, counsel, financial advisors and other representatives (collectively, "PURCHASERS' REPRESENTATIVES"), reasonable access during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice during the period prior to the Closing to all its properties, for the purpose of making surveys, inspections, engineering studies, environmental assessments and other tests, examinations or studies which Purchasers may deem necessary and for the purpose of inspecting all of the books, contracts, commitments, personnel and records of Target, the Target Subsidiaries and the Target Non-Subsidiary Entities and, during such period, Target shall, and shall cause each of the Target Subsidiaries to, and shall use reasonable efforts to cause each Target Non-Subsidiary Entity to, furnish reasonably promptly to Purchasers all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Purchasers may reasonably request. Target and its officers, employees, accountants, counsel, financial advisors and other representatives shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with each Purchaser and its accountants in connection with the preparation and auditing in accordance with Dutch GAAP of financial statements of Target and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis and in connection with the preparation and auditing in accordance with United States GAAP of financial statements relating to any of the Target Properties, with respect to periods preceding the Closing Date if such Purchaser has reasonably concluded that such audited financial statements are necessary or appropriate in connection with its reporting obligations under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Australian securities laws within four months after the Closing or in connection with any debt or equity offering which may be proposed by such Purchaser after the date hereof and within such four month period. Each Purchaser will hold, and will cause its officers, employees, accountants, counsel, financial advisors and other representatives and Affiliates to hold, any nonpublic information in confidence to the extent required by, and in accordance with, the provisions of (i) that certain letter agreement between J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., on behalf of Target, and Hoosier, dated October 15, 2001 (the "HOOSIER CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT"), (ii) that certain letter agreement, dated October 18, 2001, between J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., on behalf of Target, and Terrapin, and (iii) that certain letter agreement between J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., on behalf of Target, and Westfield Holdings Limited, dated January 10, 2002 (collectively, the "CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTS"). (b) In connection with any invasive or destructive testing of any property (or any portion thereof) of Target, a Target Subsidiary or a Target Non-Subsidiary Entity ("INVASIVE TESTING"), Purchasers shall (i) fully comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to Target and/or the Invasive Testing and all other activities undertaken in connection therewith, (ii) not interfere materially with the use and occupancy of the property by Target and the tenants -41- under the leases, and (iii) permit Target to have a representative present during all Invasive Testing undertaken hereunder. Purchasers hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Target and Target's partners, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any and all loss, cost, expense, damage, claim and liability suffered or incurred by Target or any of such other entities or persons and arising out of Purchasers' and/or Purchasers' Representatives Invasive Testing; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such indemnity shall not apply to the mere discovery by Purchasers and/or Purchasers' Representatives of any matters if the discovery thereof imposes liability on Target or any other indemnified party. SECTION 5.4. REASONABLE EFFORTS; NOTIFICATION. (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Purchaser Party, on the one hand, and Target on the other hand agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to fulfill all conditions applicable to such party pursuant to this Agreement and to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Protocol (including the Distribution), including (i) the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents and approvals from Governmental Entities and the making of all necessary registrations and filings and the taking of all reasonable steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval, waiver or exemption from any Governmental Entity; (ii) the obtaining of all necessary consents, approvals, waivers or exemptions from non-governmental third parties; and (iii) the execution and delivery of any additional documents or instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Protocol. In addition, each of the parties hereto agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to defend any lawsuits or legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging the Purchase or the other transactions contemplated hereby. Target also shall cooperate with any reasonable request of Purchasers to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (i) through a conveyance of other equity or real property interests of Target or a Target Subsidiary in order to acquire indirectly the interests identified on Exhibit A hereto if and to the extent such alternative transaction structure would facilitate the obtaining of any Necessary Consent or render the obtaining of such consent (or any other consent) unnecessary and/or (ii) in a tax efficient manner, including, without limitation, where necessary to avoid Dutch withholding taxes or, when requested, the termination of partnerships, including an admission by contribution to certain partnerships of the Purchasers immediately prior to Closing (with a right to redeem such contribution if the Closing does not occur immediately thereafter), and, if requested by Purchasers deferred and reverse like kind exchanges resulting in cash to the seller of the asset, which in no event shall reduce the Purchase Price. Purchasers shall cooperate with any reasonable request by Target to consummate the Purchase through the conveyance of other equity or real property interests of Target or a Target Subsidiary in order to acquire indirectly the interests specifically identified on Exhibit A hereto if and to the extent such alternative transaction structure would facilitate the obtaining of any Necessary Consent or render the obtaining of such consent (or any other consent) unnecessary, provided that such alternative transaction structure would not (i) diminish the economic benefits to the Purchasers of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) impose any material limitations or burdens on any Purchaser's (or any Purchaser Designee's) ownership or operation of any Assets or -42- (iii) adversely affect either the tax consequences that any Purchaser Party would have from acquiring the interests specifically identified on Exhibit A or the tax treatment of the Purchaser Parties. (b) Target shall give prompt notice to Purchasers of (i) the occurrence, or non-occurrence of any event whose occurrence, or non-occurrence would be likely to cause any condition set forth herein to be unsatisfied in any material respect at any time from the date hereof to the Closing and (ii) any failure of Target or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents to comply in any material respect with any covenant or agreement to be complied with by it hereunder; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to Purchasers. SECTION 5.5. TAX RETURNS. Target and Purchasers shall cooperate in the preparation, execution and filing of all returns, questionnaires, applications or other documents regarding any Transfer and Gains Taxes applicable to the Purchase. Target hereby assumes full responsibility for preparation and filing, at Purchasers' sole expense, all Tax Returns of each Target Non-Purchased Entity with respect to all Assumed Taxes which are required to be filed on or after the Closing Date. Purchasers shall be given thirty (30) days to comment on such Tax Returns prior to their filing and the returns shall be subject to the approval of Purchasers, not to be unreasonably withheld. SECTION 5.6. SECTION 754 OR OTHER ELECTIONS. At the request of Purchasers, with respect to any partnership in which a Target Subsidiary has a direct or indirect interest that has not made an election under Section 754 of the Code (a "SECTION 754 ELECTION") or other election, Purchasers and Target shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause each such partnership as designated by Purchasers to file a Section 754 Election with the partnership's federal income Tax Return for the taxable year of the partnership that ends on or includes the Closing Date or make any other tax elections under the Code. At the request of Purchasers, Target and Target Subsidiaries will cooperate in making elective classification elections with respect to any Target Subsidiary under the pertinent U.S. Treasury regulations. SECTION 5.7. EMPLOYEE ARRANGEMENTS. (a) EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE OF CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS. As of the Closing Date, the Parent Entities shall assume, honor and perform in accordance with their terms all employment, severance, change of control and other such agreements of Target and any Target Subsidiary identified in Section 5.7(a) of the Target Disclosure Letter. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parent Entities shall pay or cause to be paid at Closing to the employees identified on Section 5.7 of the Target Disclosure Letter (the "KEY EMPLOYEES") the amounts due to each such Key Employee pursuant to the terms of each such Key Employee's employment agreement, an estimate of each such amount is set forth on Section 5.7 of the Target Disclosure Letter. The Parent Entities further agree that all Non-Covered Employees who are terminated without cause within twelve months following the Closing Date and who execute a general release of claims in a form satisfactory to the Parent Entities shall be entitled to receive severance compensation equal to the greater of (subject to the proviso set forth below) (i) two weeks of such employee's base salary and (ii) the greater of (A) two weeks of such employee's base salary (the "SEVERANCE BASE") for each full year of combined service with Target, a Target Subsidiary (including any predecessor thereof) and the Parent Entities and, for any partial year of such service, a pro rata -43- amount of such employee's Severance Base based on the number of whole months elapsed in such partial year divided by 12 or (B) in the event that the Non-Covered Employee has at least 15 years of such service, one year of such employee's base salary; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that under no circumstances will such employee be entitled to receive greater than one year of such employee's base salary (the "SEVERANCE PAYMENT"). It is understood and agreed that the Severance Payment to Non-Covered Employees and the payments to the employees identified on Section 5.7 of the Target Disclosure Letter shall be in lieu of any other severance benefits (except as required by applicable law) that any such employee is entitled to receive and will be applied against any liability of the Parent Entities which may arise under the Worker Adjustment and Retaining Notification Act ("WARN"). If the Parent Entities determine that liability under WARN could arise as a result of employment terminations, Target will cooperate reasonably with the Parent Entities in connection with the delivery of WARN notices to affected employees prior to the Closing Date. (b) BENEFIT PLANS. Upon and after the Closing Date, each Parent Entity shall allow employees of Target who become employees of such Parent Entity to participate in employee benefit plans of such Parent Entity which are made available generally to similarly situated employees of such Parent Entity. With respect to any such plan which is an "employee benefit plan" as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA and any other service based benefits (including vacations) in which the employees of Target may participate, solely for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting and entitlement to benefits but not for purposes of accrual of benefits (except in the case of accrued vacation, sick or personal time), service with Target or any Target Subsidiary shall be treated as service with such Parent Entity; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits under both a Target Employee Benefit Plan and a benefit plan of such Parent Entity (or is not otherwise recognized for such purposes under the benefit plans of such Parent Entity). Without limiting the foregoing, the Parent Entities shall not treat any Target employee as a "new" employee for purposes of any pre-existing condition exclusions, waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements or similar provision under any health or other welfare plan, and will make appropriate arrangements with its insurance carrier(s), to the extent applicable, to ensure such result. (c) Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Parent Entities, Target or any Target Subsidiary from terminating the employment of any employee of Target or any Target Subsidiaries at any time on or after the Closing Date. (d) Prior to the Closing Date, Target will take all actions necessary to: (i) cause each outstanding stock appreciation right ("SAR") granted under the Urban Shopping Centers 2001 Stock Appreciation Rights Plan (the "2001 SAR PLAN") to be cancelled on the Closing Date, and in full satisfaction of such cancellation each holder thereof shall be entitled to receive on the Closing Date in exchange, with respect to each SAR, an amount equal to the Per Share Consideration less the Exercise Price (as defined in the 2001 SAR Plan) multiplied by the number of Covered Shares (as defined in the SAR Agreement evidencing the SAR) to which such SAR relates; -44- (ii) cause all Restricted Stock (as that term is defined under the Urban Shopping Centers 2001 Incentive Program (the "2001 INCENTIVE PROGRAM")) granted under the 2001 Incentive Program (it being acknowledged by the parties that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall cause all Restricted Stock to become immediately vested in full) to be cancelled on the Closing Date, and in full satisfaction of such cancellation each holder thereof shall be entitled to receive in exchange a cash payment on the Closing Date equal to the product of his or her shares of Restricted Stock multiplied by the Per Share Consideration; (iii) cause each outstanding share of Earned Incentive Stock (as that term is defined in the 2001 Incentive Program) granted under the 2001 Incentive Program (it being acknowledged by the parties that all shares of Incentive Stock eligible to be earned during the 2001 Program Year (as provided in Section 4.1 of the 2001 Incentive Program) shall be deemed to be Earned Incentive Stock) to be cancelled on the Closing Date, and in full satisfaction of such cancellation each holder thereof shall be entitled to receive a cash payment on the Closing Date equal to the product of his or her shares of Earned Incentive Stock multiplied by the Per Share Consideration; (iv) cause all Incentive Stock (as such term is defined under the 2001 Incentive Program) granted under the 2001 Incentive Program that is not Earned Incentive Stock (i.e., Incentive Stock eligible to earned in the 2002, 2003 and 2004 Program Years) or deemed to be Earned Incentive Stock for purposes of this Agreement to be forfeited on the Closing Date; and (v) cause each of the 2001 SAR Plan and the 2001 Incentive Plan to be terminated. SECTION 5.8. NO SOLICITATION OF ACQUISITION PROPOSALS. Target shall not, and it shall cause its Subsidiaries and the officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives of Target and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the "TARGET REPRESENTATIVES") not to, (i) solicit or encourage, directly or indirectly, the making of any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) initiate any discussion or engage in negotiations with or provide any information to any entity relating to an Acquisition Proposal, or take any other action to knowingly facilitate the making of any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) endorse or enter into any Acquisition Proposal or modify or withdraw its recommendation of the Purchase. Except as permitted by SECTION 5.8 hereof, Target and the Target Representatives will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Third Parties conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Target may engage in discussions or provide information with respect to an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal if (i) Target and the Supervisory Board of Target conclude in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal (as hereinafter defined), (ii) prior to providing any information to any Person in connection with an Acquisition Proposal by any such Person, Target receives from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement on terms substantially similar to, and no less restrictive to such Person than those contained in the Hoosier Confidentiality Agreement and (iii) prior to providing any information to any Person or entering into discussions with any Person, Target notifies Purchasers promptly of such Acquisition Proposal or negotiations, including the -45- name of such Person and the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal (including a copy of any written proposal and any written documentation). Target shall notify Purchasers promptly, but in any event within 24 hours, of any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry with respect to or which could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal received by any Target or the Target Representatives, the terms and conditions of such proposal (including a copy of any written proposal and any written documentation) and the identity of the Person making the proposal or offer or inquiry. Target will promptly notify Purchasers of any material change in the status and details of any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry. Target will promptly provide to Purchasers any non-public information concerning Target or its Subsidiaries provided to any other Person which was not previously provided to Purchasers. In addition, Target and the Supervisory Board of Target may withdraw or modify their recommendation of the Purchase or approve a Superior Proposal and enter into an agreement with respect thereto if (x) a Superior Proposal is pending, (y) Target has provided Purchasers with notice that it has received a Superior Proposal which it intends to accept (specifying the offeror and the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal) and (if requested by Purchasers) has negotiated in good faith with Purchasers during the three (3) Business Days following Purchasers' receipt of such notice to attempt to make such adjustments to this Agreement as would enable Target and Purchasers to proceed with the Purchase on such adjusted terms and (z) this Agreement is terminated in connection with such Superior Proposal and the Break-Up Fee is paid. "SUPERIOR PROPOSAL" means an unsolicited bona fide written proposal by a Third Party to acquire all or substantially all of the Assets (i) on terms which the Supervisory Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and legal counsel) to be more favorable from a financial point of view to the shareholders of Target than the terms contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) is not conditioned upon obtaining financing not fully committed at such time and (iii) which is reasonably capable of being consummated without undue delay in the good faith judgment of the Supervisory Board of Target. "ACQUISITION PROPOSAL" means any inquiry, proposal or offer, whether in writing or otherwise, from a Third Party to acquire beneficial ownership of all or more than 20% of the assets of Target and the Target Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or 20% or more of any class of equity securities of Target or of any Target Subsidiary which owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the Assets pursuant to a merger, consolidation or other business combination, sale of shares of capital stock, sale of assets, tender offer, exchange offer or similar transaction with respect to either Target or any such Target Subsidiary, including any single or multi-step transaction or series of related transactions, which is structured to permit such Third Party to acquire beneficial ownership of more than 20% of the assets of Target and the Target Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or 20% or more of any class of equity securities of Target or any Target Subsidiary which owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the Assets. SECTION 5.9. PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS. Target, on the one hand, and the Purchaser Parties, collectively, on the other hand, shall consult with each other before issuing any press release with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall not issue any such press release without having first provided a copy of any such press release to Target, on the one hand, or the Purchaser Parties, on the other hand, as the case may be. SECTION 5.10. AGREEMENTS REGARDING THE DISPOSAL OF PROPERTIES. At the direction of Purchasers, Target shall cause each applicable Target Subsidiary to enter into an agreement, in -46- form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchasers (each a "DISPOSAL AGREEMENT"), to sell the properties identified in Section 5.10 of the Target Disclosure Letter (each a "DISPOSAL PROPERTY") to one or more parties as may be designated by Purchasers. Under each such Disposal Agreement, the sale of the Disposal Property will be scheduled to close (with "time being of the essence" with respect to such closing) prior to the Closing of the Purchase or at such date after the Closing as Purchasers may agree. Target shall, and shall cause the applicable Target Subsidiaries to, use its and their reasonable best efforts to consummate the sale of each Disposal Property in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Disposal Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the proceeds received by Target or a Target Subsidiary in consideration for the disposition of any Disposal Property (i) shall not be less than the minimum price set forth for such Disposal Property in Section 5.10 of the Target Disclosure Letter and (ii) shall be used by Target to pay existing indebtedness; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that, with respect to the 745 Property, such Disposal Agreement shall provide that (i) such applicable Target Subsidiary shall not be obligated to consummate such sale unless the Purchase will be consummated immediately thereafter and (ii) in the event this Agreement is terminated in accordance with ARTICLE VIII such Target Subsidiary shall have the right to terminate such Disposal Agreement without any cost, penalty or liability thereto. Target shall cooperate with Purchasers in the negotiation and consummation of any Disposal Agreement, including, without limitation, granting any potential buyer permission to conduct usual and customary due diligence in connection with such sale. Each applicable Target Subsidiary shall enter into any Disposal Agreement as Purchasers shall in good faith direct. Purchasers shall indemnify and hold the applicable Target Subsidiary harmless from any liability in connection with any such Disposal Agreement. Neither Target nor any Target Subsidiary shall take any action it is entitled to take under, or relating to, any such Disposal Agreement, or exercise any remedy in connection with any such Disposal Agreement, without the prior written consent of Purchasers and, upon the instruction of Purchasers, Target and any Target Subsidiary shall promptly take such action and/or exercise any remedy in connection with any such Disposal Agreement as Purchasers shall direct (provided that such action or remedy is permitted or provided for under the applicable Disposal Agreement). At the closing of the transaction contemplated by a Disposal Agreement, Target and any Target Subsidiary shall deliver to the purchaser thereunder all documents, agreements, instruments and Necessary Consents described in SECTION 2.5 which are applicable thereto (including, without limitation, instruments sufficient to convey the Target Tangible Personal Property associated with such Target Property). SECTION 5.11. INDEMNIFICATION; DIRECTORS' AND OFFICERS' INSURANCE. (a) It is understood and agreed that, subject to the limitations on indemnification under applicable law, Hoosier and Terrapin (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTIES") shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless, for a period of six years following the Closing, (i) each present and former managing or supervisory director, officer and employee of the Target or any Target Subsidiary against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (collectively, "LOSSES") arising out of any action taken or omission occurring at or prior to the Closing Date and (ii) each present and former managing or supervisory director, officer and employee of any Target Non-Purchased Entity (together with the persons with indemnification rights pursuant to clause (i) above, collectively, the "INDEMNIFIED PARTIES") against any Losses -47- arising out of his or her good faith actions in connection with the distribution of the Purchase Price to Target's shareholders in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Protocol; PROVIDED, that the Indemnifying Parties shall not be liable for any settlement effected without their prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). In connection therewith, (A) the Indemnifying Parties shall promptly pay expenses in advance of the final disposition of any claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Party to the full extent permitted by law, subject to the provision by such Indemnified Party of an undertaking to reimburse the amounts so advanced in the event of a final non-appealable determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to such amounts, and (B) the Indemnified Parties may retain one counsel satisfactory to them (except in case of a conflict of interest among two or more Indemnified Parties, in which case more than one counsel may be retained), and the Indemnifying Parties shall promptly pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties. Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this SECTION 5.11, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, demand, proceeding or investigation, shall notify the Indemnifying Parties; PROVIDED, that the failure to so notify shall not affect the obligations of the Indemnifying Parties except to the extent such failure to notify materially prejudices such parties. (b) For a period of six years after the Closing Date, the Indemnifying Parties will maintain in effect the existing directors' and officers' liability insurance covering the Indemnified Parties who are currently covered by Target's and the Target Subsidiaries' officers and directors liability insurance policies (copies of which policies have been provided to Purchasers) on terms not less favorable than those in effect on the date hereof in terms of coverage and amounts and which provide coverage as to claims arising out of the good faith actions of such Indemnified Persons in connection with the distribution of the Purchase Price to Target's shareholders in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Protocol; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the aggregate annual premiums for such insurance at any time during such period exceed the per annum rate of premium paid by Target for such insurance as of the date of this Agreement, then the Indemnifying Parties shall provide the maximum coverage that will then be available at an annual premium equal to 175% of such per annum rate as of the date of this Agreement. (c) This SECTION 5.11 is intended for the irrevocable benefit of, and to grant third party rights to, the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Indemnifying Parties. Each of the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to enforce the covenants contained in this SECTION 5.11. (d) In the event that any of Purchasers or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys a majority of its properties and assets to any person or entity, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors, assigns and transferees of such Indemnifying Party assume the obligations set forth in this SECTION 5.11. (e) To the extent permitted by law, all rights of indemnification for the benefit of any Indemnified Party shall be mandatory rather than permissive. -48- (f) The liabilities and obligations assumed by the Indemnifying Parties under this SECTION 5.11(a)-(e) are referred to herein as the "H&T ASSUMED LIABILITIES". Following the Closing, Purchasers shall indemnify and hold harmless each Target Non-Purchased Entity against any claims arising in respect of the Non-Financial Covenants. SECTION 5.12. SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING (a) Target shall as promptly as practicable duly call, give notice of and take all other action necessary in accordance with applicable law to convene, and hold a meeting of its shareholders (the "SHAREHOLDERS MEETING") for the purpose of obtaining the affirmative vote of holders of Ordinary Shares of Target casting at least two-thirds of the votes cast and excluding all Ordinary Shares, if any, owned by the Voting Trust (i) to approve the Purchase, (ii) to approve the Distribution, conditioned only upon the Closing, (iii) to appoint at Closing one person designated by Westfield Limited (the "WESTFIELD DESIGNEE") to the Board of Liquidators, PROVIDED that Target shall have the right to object to the Westfield Designee on a reasonable basis, PROVIDED, FURTHER, that if no Westfield Designee is appointed to the Board of Liquidators at Closing (due to the failure of the Westfield Designee to obtain the required approval of the Dutch Central Bank, as a result of the objection by Target or otherwise), the Board of Liquidators shall consult with Westfield Limited on a reasonable basis on matters related to, or in connection with, the Distribution, PROVIDED, FURTHER, that Target shall have no obligation pursuant to this clause (iii) if Westfield Limited transfers all of its equity ownership in Target to an unaffiliated third party, and (iv) to appoint the members of the Management Board as liquidators to carry out the Distribution in accordance with the Protocol, and shall take all lawful action to solicit the approval of such transactions by such vote. The Management Board and the Supervisory Board of Target shall recommend that holders of Ordinary Shares vote in favor of such resolutions. Subject to SECTION 5.8, the Supervisory Board shall not withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Purchasers its recommendation of the resolutions. Target agrees that it will not cancel, postpone or adjourn the date of the Shareholders Meeting or change the items on the agenda without the agreement of Purchasers. (b) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, Target shall prepare a shareholder circular relating to the matters to be submitted to the shareholders of Target at the Shareholders Meeting. Target shall provide Purchasers with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the shareholder circular, and on any amendment or supplement thereto, and shall not distribute the shareholder circular, or any amendment or supplement thereto, to its shareholders prior to the approval of such document by the Purchasers, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The shareholder circular shall comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable provisions of applicable law. Each Purchaser shall furnish all information concerning itself and its Affiliates which is required or customary for inclusion therein. If at any time prior to the Shareholders Meeting any information relating to Target or Purchasers, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, should be discovered by Target or Purchasers which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the shareholder circular so that such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other party and, -49- to the extent required by law, rules or regulations, an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly and disseminated to the shareholders of Target.

Target hereby agrees to take all necessary and appropriate actions to implement the Voting Trust Redemption at Closing at a price not to exceed (i) the original issue price of such Ordinary Shares PLUS (ii) accrued and unpaid interest thereon PLUS (iii) related financing and administrative costs in an amount not to exceed $7,500,000. Target shall take all necessary and appropriate actions to procure that the Agreement Regarding the Acquisition of Shares in Target, dated September 23, 2001, be terminated at Closing and thereafter shall be of no further force and effect. SECTION 5.14. FUNDING OF PURCHASE PRICE. The Parent Entities shall cause the Purchasers to fulfill their obligations hereunder to consummate the Purchase in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including by funding the Purchasers with an amount of cash necessary to permit the payment of the Purchase Price by the Purchasers at Closing in accordance with ARTICLE II hereof. For avoidance of doubt, this SECTION 5.14 shall terminate as of the Closing. SECTION 5.15. OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS. Upon the written request of Purchasers, (i) Target shall cause any or all of the directors (or persons occupying similar positions in any limited liability company or other entity) and/or officers of each direct or indirect wholly owned Target Subsidiary (excluding any Target Non-Purchased Entity) to resign or be removed or, as to officers, to be terminated, effective as of the Closing, and (ii) if Target or any of its affiliated entities has the right to appoint any director (or person occupying a similar position in any limited liability company or other entity) or to cause the resignation or termination of any officer of any other entity in which Target (directly or indirectly) owns an equity interest (excluding any Target Non-Purchased Entity), Target shall cause, effective as of the Closing, such director to resign or to be removed and/or such officer to resign or be terminated. SECTION 5.16. URBAN RETAIL PROPERTIES. Target shall cause to be delivered to Purchasers at Closing, directly or indirectly, all outstanding equity interests in Urban Retail Properties, Co.

Target also agrees that (i) if this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to SECTION 8.1(j) and the closing has not occurred prior to the Termination Date due to a failure to obtain a Necessary Consent (provided that Purchasers have complied with SECTION 5.4(a)), then Target will pay to each Purchaser, or to such party or parties as directed by such Purchaser, a cash amount in EUROs equal to the Reduced Break-Up Expenses applicable to such Purchaser and (ii) if this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to SECTION 8.1(j) and the closing has not occurred prior to the Termination Date due to a failure to fulfill SECTION 7.1(c) (provided that Purchasers have complied with SECTION 5.4(a)), then Target will pay to each Purchaser, or to such party or parties as directed by such Purchaser, a cash amount in EUROs equal to the Break-Up Expenses applicable to such Purchaser.

A "MAJORITY ACQUISITION PROPOSAL" shall be an Acquisition Proposal to acquire at least a majority of the Assets, whether pursuant to a merger, consolidation or other business combination, sale of shares of capital stock, sale of assets, tender offer, exchange offer or similar transaction, including any single or multi-step transaction or series of related transactions. -57- (c) For purposes of this Agreement, the "BREAK-UP FEE" shall be an aggregate amount equal to 2% of the Purchase Price (with the Purchase Price calculated as if the Closing Date had occurred on the date of the termination giving rise to Target's obligation to pay the Break-Up Fee). (d) For purposes of this Agreement, the "BREAK-UP EXPENSES" shall be an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the actual out-of-pocket expenses of Purchasers and any of their respective Affiliates incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, all attorneys', accountants', investment bankers' and financing sources' fees and expenses) and (ii) 1% of the Purchase Price (with the Purchase Price calculated as if the Closing Date had occurred on the date of the termination giving rise to Target's obligation to pay the Break-Up Expenses). For purposes of this Agreement, the "REDUCED BREAK-UP EXPENSES" shall mean the Break-Up Expenses, except that such expenses shall be capped at 1/2% (rather than 1%) of the Purchase Price. (e) In the event that either Purchaser is required to file suit to seek all or a portion of the amounts payable under this SECTION 9.2, and Purchasers prevail in such litigation, Purchasers shall be entitled to all expenses, including attorneys' fees and expenses, which it has incurred in enforcing its rights under this SECTION 9.2. (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Purchaser expressly acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to any termination of this Agreement pursuant to SECTION 8.1 in circumstances where the Break-Up Fee is payable in accordance with SECTION 9.2(b), the payment of the Break-Up Fee shall constitute liquidated damages with respect to any claim for damages or any other claim which such Purchaser would otherwise be entitled to assert against Target or any Target Subsidiary or any of their respective assets, or against any of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners or stockholders, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy available to such Purchaser. The parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that, in light of the difficulty of accurately determining actual damages with respect to the foregoing upon any termination of this Agreement pursuant to SECTION 8.1 in circumstances where the Break-Up Fee is payable in accordance with SECTION 9.2(b), the right to payment under SECTION 9.2(b): (i) constitutes a reasonable estimate of the damages that will be suffered by reason of any such proposed or actual termination of this Agreement pursuant to said section, and (ii) shall be in full and complete satisfaction of any and all damages arising as a result of the foregoing. Except for nonpayment of the amounts set forth in SECTION 9.2(b), each Purchaser hereby agrees that, upon any termination of this Agreement in circumstances where the Break-Up Fee is payable, in no event shall such Purchaser or its affiliated Parent Entity (A) seek to obtain any recovery or judgment against Target or any Target Subsidiary or any of their respective assets, or against any of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners or stockholders, or (B) be entitled to seek or obtain any other damages of any kind, including, without limitation, consequential, indirect or punitive damages. (g) In the event that any Dutch court, including the Enterprise Chamber determines that any term or provision of SECTION 5.8 or this SECTION 9.2 is unenforceable or unreasonable as a matter of Law, such term or provision shall automatically be modified to the extent such Dutch court determines necessary to conform to applicable Law, and this Agreement -58- and, as applicable, the Protocol, as so modified, shall thereafter remain in full force and effect. The parties hereto agree that, upon the occurrence of such an event as described in the immediately preceding sentence, (i) the Dutch court shall have the power to reduce the amount, scope or magnitude of any such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases from such term or provision, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision so implicated with a modified term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, (ii) the parties hereto shall request that the Dutch court exercise that power and (iii) thereafter this Agreement (and the Protocol) shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment or decision may be applied. (h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the amount paid to any of the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement in any tax year exceed the maximum amount that can be paid to such Purchaser in such year without causing any REIT with which it is affiliated to fail to meet the REIT requirements for such year, determined as if the payment of such amount did not constitute Qualifying Income as determined by independent accountants to such Purchaser. If the amount payable for any tax year under the preceding sentence is less that the amount which Target would otherwise be obligated to pay to the applicable Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement (the "EXPENSE AMOUNT"), such Purchaser shall so notify Target, and Target shall (at such Purchaser's sole cost and expense) place the remaining portion of the Expense Amount in escrow and shall not execute any instrumentation permitting any release of any portion thereof to the applicable Purchaser, and the applicable Purchaser shall not be entitled to any such amount, unless and until Target and escrow holder receive (all at the applicable Purchaser's sole cost and expense) notice from applicable Purchaser, together with either (i) an opinion of the applicable Purchaser's tax counsel to the effect that such amount, if and to the extent paid, would not constitute gross income which is not Qualifying Income or (ii) a letter from the applicable Purchaser's independent accountants indicating the maximum amount that can be paid at that time to the Purchasers (determined as if such payment did not constitute Qualifying Income) without causing any REIT with which it is affiliated to fail to meet the REIT requirements for any relevant taxable year, together with either an IRS Ruling issued to such REIT or an opinion of such Purchaser's tax counsel to the effect that such payment would not be treated as includible in the income of such REIT for any prior taxable year, in which event escrow holder shall pay such maximum amount. Target's and escrow holder's obligation to pay any unpaid portion of the Expense Amount shall terminate ten (10) years from the date of this Agreement, and upon such date, escrow holder shall remit any remaining funds in escrow to Target and Target shall have no obligation to make any further payments notwithstanding that the entire Expense Amount has not been paid as of such date. For purposes of the foregoing, Qualifying Income shall income qualifying within the meaning of Section 856(c)(2) of the Code. -59- SECTION 9.3. NOTICES.

The Borrower shall immediately make such prepayment together with interest accrued to the date of the prepayment on the principal amount prepaid. In connection with the prepayment of any Loan prior to the maturity thereof, the Borrower shall also pay any applicable expenses pursuant to SECTION 5.2(f). Each such prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the Lenders. Amounts prepaid pursuant to this SECTION 4.1(d) may not be reborrowed.

(b) APPORTIONMENT OF PAYMENTS. (i) Subject to the provisions of SECTION 4.2(b)(v), all payments of principal and interest in respect of outstanding Loans, all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligations, shall be allocated among such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares or otherwise as provided herein. Subject to the provisions of SECTION 4.2(b)(ii), all such payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Borrower shall be applied in the following order: (A) to pay principal of and interest on any portion of the Loans which the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender other than itself for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower, (B) to pay all other Obligations then due and payable and (C) as the Borrower so designates. Unless otherwise designated by the Borrower, all principal payments in respect of Loans shall be applied FIRST, to repay outstanding Base Rate Loans, and then to repay outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans, with those Eurodollar Rate Loans which have earlier expiring Interest Periods being repaid prior to those which have later expiring Interest Periods. 38 (ii) After the occurrence of an Event of Default and while the same is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall apply all payments in respect of any Obligations in the following order: (A) first, to pay principal of and interest on any portion of the Loans which the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender other than itself for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower; (B) second, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent; (C) third, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Lenders; (D) fourth, to pay interest due in respect of Loans; (E) fifth, to the ratable payment or prepayment of principal outstanding on Loans; and (F) sixth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations. The order of priority set forth in this SECTION 4.2(b)(ii) and the related provisions of this Agreement are set forth solely to determine the rights and priorities of the Administrative Agent, the other Lenders and other Holders as among themselves. The order of priority set forth in clauses (C) through (G) of this SECTION 4.2(b)(ii) may at any time and from time to time be changed by the Requisite Lenders without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by the Borrower, any Holder which is not a Lender, or any other Person.

(iv) In the event that any Lender fails to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Loan requested by the Borrower which such Lender is obligated to fund under the terms of this Agreement (the funded portion of such Loan being here-inafter referred to as a "NON PRO RATA LOAN"), until the earlier of such Lender's cure of such failure and the termination of the Commitments, the proceeds of all amounts thereafter repaid to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower and otherwise required to be applied to such Lender's share of all other Obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be advanced to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender to cure, in full or in part, such failure by such Lender, but shall nevertheless be deemed to have been paid to such Lender in satisfaction of such other Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary: (A) the foregoing provisions of this SECTION 4.2(b)(v) shall apply only with respect to the proceeds of payments of Obligations and shall not affect the conversion or continuation of Loans pursuant to SECTION 5.1(c); (B) a Lender shall be deemed to have cured its failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Loan at such time as an amount equal to such Lender's original Pro Rata Share of the requested principal 40 portion of such Loan is fully funded to the Borrower, whether made by such Lender itself or by operation of the terms of this SECTION 4.2(b)(v), and whether or not the Non Pro Rata Loan with respect thereto has been repaid, converted or continued; (C) amounts advanced to the Borrower to cure, in full or in part, any such Lender's failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Loan ("CURE LOANS") shall bear interest at the Base Rate in effect from time to time, and for all other purposes of this Agreement shall be treated as if they were Base Rate Loans; and (D) regardless of whether or not an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, and not-withstanding the instructions of the Borrower as to its desired application, all repayments of principal which, in accordance with the other terms of this SECTION 4.2, would be applied to the outstanding Base Rate Loans shall be applied FIRST, ratably to all Base Rate Loans constituting Non Pro Rata Loans, SECOND, ratably to Base Rate Loans other than those constituting Non Pro Rata Loans or Cure Loans and, THIRD, ratably to Base Rate Loans constituting Cure Loans. (c) PAYMENTS ON NON-BUSINESS DAYS. Whenever any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes is stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the payment shall instead be due on the next succeeding Business Day (or, as set forth in SECTION 5.2(b)(iii), the next preceding Business Day). 4.3. PROMISE TO REPAY; EVIDENCE OF INDEBTEDNESS. (a) PROMISE TO REPAY. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay when due the principal amount of each Loan which is made to it, and further agrees to pay all unpaid interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Lender on the Closing Date, a promissory note, in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent 41 and such Lender, evidencing the Loans and thereafter shall execute and deliver such other promissory notes as are necessary to evidence the Loans owing to the Lenders after giving effect to any assignment thereof pursuant to SECTION 15.1, all in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the parties to such assignment (all such promissory notes and all amendments thereto, replacements thereof and substitutions therefor being collectively referred to as the "NOTES"; and "NOTE" means any one of the Notes). (b) LOAN ACCOUNT. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts (a "LOAN ACCOUNT") evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amount of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder and under the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure by any Lender to maintain a Loan Account shall in no way affect the Borrower's obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the obligation to repay the Obligations. (c) CONTROL ACCOUNT. The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to SECTION 15.1(c) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the type of Loan comprising such Borrowing and any Eurodollar Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the effective date and amount of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and the parties thereto, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder or under the Notes and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender's share thereof.

(e) NO RECOURSE TO LIMITED PARTNERS OR GENERAL PARTNERS. Notwithstanding anything contained in this 42 Agreement to the contrary, it is expressly understood and agreed that nothing herein or in the Notes shall be construed as creating any liability on any Limited Partner, any General Partner, or any partner, officer, shareholder or director of any Limited Partner or any General Partner, to pay any of the Obligations other than liability arising from or in connection with (i) fraud or (ii) the misappropriation or misapplication of proceeds of the Loans; but nothing contained in this SECTION 4.3(e) shall be construed to prevent the exercise of any remedy allowed to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders by law or by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which does not relate to or result in such an obligation by any Limited Partner or any General Partner (or any partner, officer, shareholder or director of any Limited Partner or any General Partner) to pay money. ARTICLE V INTEREST AND FEES 5.1. INTEREST ON THE LOANS AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS. (a) RATE OF INTEREST. All Loans and the outstanding principal balance of all other Obligations shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made and such other Obligations are due and payable until paid in full, except as otherwise provided in SECTION 5.1(d), as follows: (i) If a Base Rate Loan or such other Obligation, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate, as in effect from time to time as interest accrues, PLUS (B) the then Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans; and (ii) If a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Eurodollar Rate determined for the applicable Eurodollar Interest Period, plus (B) the then Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans. The applicable basis for determining the rate of interest on the Loans shall be selected by the Borrower at the time the 43 Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation is delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, the Borrower may not select the Eurodollar Rate as the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest on such a Loan if at the time of such selection an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default would occur or has occurred and is continuing and FURTHER PROVIDED THAT, from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default, each Eurodollar Rate Loan then outstanding may, at the Administrative Agent's option, convert to a Base Rate Loan. If on any day any Loan is outstanding with respect to which notice has not been timely delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement specifying the basis for determining the rate of interest on that day, then for that day interest on that Loan shall be determined by reference to the Base Rate. (b) INTEREST PAYMENTS. (i) Interest accrued on each Loan shall be calculated on the last day of each calendar month and shall be payable in arrears (A) on the first day of each calendar month, commencing on the first such day following the making of such Loan, and (B) if not theretofore paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Loan. (ii) Interest accrued on the principal balance of all other Obligations shall be calculated on the last day of each calendar month and shall be payable in arrears (A) on the first day of each calendar month, commencing on the first such day following the incurrence of such Obligation, (B) upon repayment thereof in full or in part, and (C) if not theretofore paid in full, at the time such other Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise). (c) CONVERSION OR CONTINUATION. (i) The Borrower shall have the option (A) to convert at any time all or any part of outstanding Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans; (B) to convert all or any part of outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans having Eurodollar Interest Periods which expire on the same date to Base Rate Loans on such expiration date; (C) to continue all or any part of out-standing Eurodollar Rate Loans having Eurodollar Interest 44 Periods which expire on the same date as Eurodollar Rate Loans, and the succeeding Eurodollar Interest Period of such continued Loans shall commence on such expiration date; provided, HOWEVER, no such outstanding Loan may be continued as, or be converted into, a Eurodollar Rate Loan (i) if the continuation of, or the conversion into, would violate any of the provisions of SECTION 5.2 or (ii) if an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default would occur or has occurred and is continuing. Any conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans under this SECTION 5.1(c) shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount, except in the case of a conversion into or a continuation of an entire Borrowing of Non Pro Rata Loans. (ii) To convert or continue a Loan under SECTION 5.1(c)(i), the Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/ Continuation to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date. A Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall specify (A) the proposed conversion/continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the principal amount of the Loan to be converted/continued, (C) whether such Loan shall be converted and/or continued, and (D) in the case of a conversion to, or continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the requested Eurodollar Interest Period. In lieu of delivering a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Borrower may give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice of any proposed conversion/continuation by the time required under this SECTION 5.1(c)(ii), if the Borrower confirms such notice by delivery of the Notice of Conversion/Continuation to the Administrative Agent by facsimile transmission promptly, but in no event later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the same day. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion/ Continuation under this SECTION 5.1(c)(ii) (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender by facsimile transmission, or other similar form of transmission, of the proposed conversion/ continuation. Any Notice of Conversion/Continuation for conversion to, or continuation of, a Loan (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) given pursuant to this SECTION 5.1(c)(ii) shall be irrevocable, and the Borrower shall be bound to convert or continue in accordance therewith. In 45 the event no Notice of Conversion/Continuation is delivered as and when specified in this SECTION 5.1(c)(ii) with respect to outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, such Loans shall automatically be continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans with a Eurodollar Interest Period of thirty (30) days; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, no such outstanding Loan may be continued as, or be converted into, a Eurodollar Rate Loan (i) if the continuation of, or the conversion into, would violate any of the provisions of SECTION 5.2 or (ii) if an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default would occur or has occurred and is continuing. (d) DEFAULT INTEREST. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in SECTION 5.1(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement, effective immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and for as long thereafter as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the principal balance of all Loans and other Obligations shall bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate, as in effect from time to time as interest accrues, PLUS (B) four percent (4.0%) per annum. (e) COMPUTATION OF INTEREST. Interest on all Obligations shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which interest accrues and a year of 360 days. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of the Loan or the first day of a Eurodollar Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be included and the date of payment or the expiration date of a Eurodollar Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be excluded; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one (1) day's interest shall be paid on such Loan. (f) EURODOLLAR RATE INFORMATION. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower from time to time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to the Borrower such information with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate as may be so requested. 46 5.2. SPECIAL PROVISIONS GOVERNING EURODOLLAR RATE LOANS. (a) AMOUNT OF EURODOLLAR RATE LOANS. Each Euro-dollar Rate Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,500,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount. (b) DETERMINATION OF EURODOLLAR INTEREST PERIOD. By giving notice as set forth in SECTION 2.1(b) (with respect to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans), or SECTION 5.1(c) (with respect to a conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans), the Borrower shall have the option, subject to the other provisions of this SECTION 5.2, to select an interest period (each, an "INTEREST PERIOD") to apply to the Loans described in such notice, subject to the following provisions: (i) The Borrower may only select, as to a particular Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, an Interest Period (each, a "EURODOLLAR INTEREST PERIOD") of one, two, three or six months in duration or, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, a shorter or a longer duration (ii) In the case of immediately successive Eurodollar Interest Periods applicable to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, each successive Eurodollar Interest Period shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Eurodollar Interest Period expires; (iii) If any Eurodollar Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Eurodollar Interest Period shall be extended to expire on the next succeeding Business Day if the next succeeding Business Day occurs in the same calendar month, and if there will be no succeeding Business Day in such calendar month, the Eurodollar Interest Period shall expire on the immediately preceding Business Day; (iv) The Borrower may not select an Interest Period as to any Loan if such Interest Period terminates later than the Termination Date; 47 (v) The Borrower may not select an Interest Period with respect to any portion of principal of a Loan which extends beyond a date on which the Borrower is required to make a scheduled payment of such portion of principal; and (vi) There shall be no more than five (5) Interest Periods in effect at any one time with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans. (c) DETERMINATION OF EURODOLLAR INTEREST RATE. As soon as practicable on the second Business Day prior to the first day of each Eurodollar Interest Period (the "EURO-DOLLAR INTEREST RATE DETERMINATION DATE"), the Administrative Agent shall determine (pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of "Eurodollar Rate") the interest rate which shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Eurodollar Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to each Lender. The Administrative Agent's determination shall be presumed to be correct, absent manifest error, and shall be binding upon the Borrower. (d) INTEREST RATE UNASCERTAINABLE, INADEQUATE OR UNFAIR. In the event that at least one (1) Business Day before a Eurodollar Interest Rate Determination Date: (i) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Reference Bank that deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered by the Reference Bank in the London interbank market for such Eurodollar Interest Period; or (ii) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurodollar Rate then being determined is to be fixed; or (iii) the Requisite Lenders advise the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for Eurodollar Rate Loans comprising such Borrowing 48 will not adequately reflect the cost to such Requisite Lenders of obtaining funds in Dollars in the London interbank market in the amount substantially equal to such Lenders' Eurodollar Rate Loans in Dollars and for a period equal to such Eurodollar Interest Period; then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower, whereupon (until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist) the right of the Borrower to elect to have Loans bear interest based upon the Eurodollar Rate shall be suspended and each outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor, notwithstanding any prior election by the Borrower to the contrary. (e) ILLEGALITY. (i) If at any time any Lender determines (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties) that the making or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan has become unlawful or impermissible by compliance by that Lender with any law, governmental rule, regulation or order of any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful or would result in costs or penalties), then, and in any such event, such Lender may give notice of that determination, in writing, to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender. (ii) When notice is given by a Lender under SECTION 5.2(e)(i), (A) the Borrower's right to request from such Lender and such Lender's obligation, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be immediately suspended, and such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans are then outstanding, the Borrower shall immediately, or if permitted by applicable law, no later than the date permitted thereby, upon at least one (1) Business Day's prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the affected Lender, convert each such Loan into a Base Rate Loan. 49 (iii) If at any time after a Lender gives notice under SECTION 5.2(e)(i) such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination, in writing, to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender. The Borrower's right to request, and such Lender's obligation, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon be restored. (f) COMPENSATION. In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to SECTION 5.1 and ARTICLE XIII, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon demand, for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Lender's Eurodollar Rate Loans to the Borrower but excluding any loss of Applicable Margin on the relevant Loans) which that Lender may sustain (i) if for any reason a Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by the Borrower or in a telephonic request by it for borrowing or conversion/ continuation or a successive Eurodollar Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given pursuant to SECTION 5.1(c), including, without limitation, pursuant to SECTION 5.2(d), (ii) if for any reason any Eurodollar Rate Loan is prepaid (including, without limitation, mandatorily pursuant to SECTION 4.1(d)) on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) as a consequence of a required conversion of a Euro-dollar Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as a result of any of the events indicated in SECTION 5.2(d), or (iv) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to repay a Eurodollar Rate Loan when required by the terms of this Agreement. The Lender making demand for such compensation shall deliver to the Borrower concurrently with such demand a written statement in reasonable detail as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this statement shall be conclusive as to the amount of compensation due to that Lender, absent manifest error. 50 (g) BOOKING OF EURODOLLAR RATE LOANS. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of, its Eurodollar Lending Office or Euro-dollar Affiliate or its other offices or Affiliates. No Lender shall be entitled, however, to receive any greater amount under SECTIONS 4.2 or 5.2(f) or ARTICLE XIII as a result of the transfer of any such Eurodollar Rate Loan to any office (other than such Eurodollar Lending Office) or any Affiliate (other than such Eurodollar Affiliate) than such Lender would have been entitled to receive immediately prior thereto, unless (i) the transfer occurred at a time when circumstances giving rise to the claim for such greater amount did not exist and (ii) such claim would have arisen even if such transfer had not occurred. (h) AFFILIATES NOT OBLIGATED. No Eurodollar Affiliate or other Affiliate of any Lender shall be deemed a party to this Agreement or shall have any liability or obligation under this Agreement. (i) ADJUSTED EURODOLLAR RATE. Any failure by any Lender to take into account the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage when calculating interest due on Eurodollar Rate Loans shall not constitute, whether by course of dealing or otherwise, a waiver by such Lender of its right to collect such amount for any future period. 5.3. FEES. (a) FACILITY FEE. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares, a fee (the "FACILITY FEE"), accruing at a per annum rate equal to the then applicable Facility Fee Percentage on the aggregate Commitments, such fee being payable quarterly, in arrears, commencing on the first day of the fiscal quarter next succeeding the Closing Date and on the first day of each fiscal quarter thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Lender fails to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Loan requested by the Borrower which such Lender is obligated to fund under the terms of this Agreement, (A) such Lender shall not be entitled to any portion of the Facility Fee with respect to its Commitment until such failure has been cured in accordance with SECTION 4.2(b)(iv)(b) and (B) until 51 such time, the Facility Fee shall accrue in favor of the Lenders which have funded their respective Pro Rata Shares of such requested Loan, shall be allocated among such performing Lenders ratably based upon their relative Commitments, and shall be calculated based upon the average amount by which the aggregate Commitments of such performing Lenders exceeds the outstanding principal amount of the Loans owing to such performing Lenders. (b) CALCULATION AND PAYMENT OF FEES. All fees shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year. All fees shall be payable in addition to, and not in lieu of, interest, compensation, expense reimbursements, indemnification and other Obligations. Fees shall be payable to the Administrative Agent at its office in New York, New York in immediately available funds. All fees shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when paid. All fees due to any other Lender, including, without limitation, those referred to in this SECTION 5.3, shall bear interest, if not paid when due, at the interest rate specified in Section 5.1(d) and shall constitute Obligations.

An Event of Default shall be deemed "continuing" until cured or waived in writing in accordance with SECTION 15.7. 11.2. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. (a) ACCELERATION AND TERMINATION. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in SECTIONS 11.1(f) or 11.1(g), the Commitments shall automatically and 95 immediately terminate and the unpaid principal amount of, and any and all accrued interest on, the Obligations and all accrued fees shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, or protest or other requirements of any kind (including, without limitation, valuation and appraisement, diligence, presentment, notice of intent to demand or accelerate and of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Requisite Lenders, by written notice to the Borrower, (i) declare that the Commitments are terminated, and/or (ii) declare the unpaid principal amount of and any and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations to be, and the same shall there-upon be, immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, or protest or other requirements of any kind (including, without limitation, valuation and appraisement, diligence, presentment, notice of intent to demand or accelerate and of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind the Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of the Requisite Lenders; they are not intended to benefit the Borrower and do not give the Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or 96 annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are met. (c) ENFORCEMENT. The Borrower acknowledges that in the event the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries fails to perform, observe or discharge any of their respective obligations or liabilities under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders; therefore, the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

For so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) each assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, ratable percentage of all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and, in the case of a partial assignment, shall be in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000, (ii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, and (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, none of the foregoing restrictions on assignments shall apply. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording in the Register, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance and agreed to by the Administrative Agent, (A) the assignee thereunder shall, in addition to any rights and obligations hereunder held by it immediately prior to such 107 effective date, if any, have the rights and obligations hereunder that have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have the same rights and benefits hereunder as if it were an original Lender hereunder, (B) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of such assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, the assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) and (C) the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the assignee thereunder a Note evidencing its obligations to such assignee with respect to the Loans. (c) THE REGISTER. The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in SECTION 15.8 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register (the "REGISTER") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the Commitment of, and the principal amount of the Loans under the Commitments owing to, each Lender from time to time and whether such Lender is an original Lender or the assignee of another Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (d) FEE. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (payable by the assignee to the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in compliance with this Agreement and in substantially the form of EXHIBIT A hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the 108 information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and the other Lenders. (e) PARTICIPATIONS. Each Lender may sell participations to one or more other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under and in respect of any and all facilities under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of any or all of its Commitment hereunder and the Loans owing to it); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iv) each participation shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, and (v) such participant's rights to agree or to restrict such Lender's ability to agree to the modification, waiver or release of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, to consent to any action or failure to act by any party to any of the Loan Documents or any of their respective Affiliates, or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which any Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents, shall be limited to the right to consent to (A) increase in the Commitment of the Lender from whom such participant purchased a participation, (B) reduction of the principal of, or rate or amount of interest on the Loans subject to such participation (other than by the payment or prepayment thereof), (C) postponement of any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loan(s) subject to such participation and (D) release of any guarantor of the Obligations. (f) INTENTIONALLY OMITTED. (g) INFORMATION REGARDING THE BORROWER. Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this SECTION 15.1, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries furnished to such Lender by the Administrative Agent or by or on behalf of the 109 Borrower; PROVIDED that, prior to any such disclosure, such assignee or participant, or proposed assignee or participant, shall agree, in writing, to preserve in accordance with SECTION 15.20 the confidentiality of any confidential information described therein. (h) SPC ASSIGNMENT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a "GRANTING LENDER") may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a "SPC"), identified in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the option to purchase from the Granting Lender all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make as provided herein, PROVIDED that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment to purchase any Loan by any SPC, and (ii) if a SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to fund all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to fund such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The funding of a Loan by a SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were funded by such Granting Lender. Each party hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or payment under this Agreement for which a Lender would otherwise be liable, for so long as, and to the extent, the Granting Lender provides such indemnity or makes such payment. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding Loans of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar proceedings under the laws of the United States. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Granting Lender may disclose to a SPC and any SPC may disclose to any Rating Agency or provider of any surety or guarantee to such SPC any information relating to the SPC's funding of Loans, all on a confidential basis. This clause (h) may not be amended without the prior written consent of each Granting Lender, all or any part of whose Loans are being funded by a SPC at the time of such amendment. 110 (i) PAYMENT TO PARTICIPANTS. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of any participation, all amounts payable by the Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be calculated and made in the manner and to the parties required hereby as if no such participation had been sold. (j) LENDERS' CREATION OF SECURITY INTERESTS. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Obligations owing to it and any Note held by it) in favor of any Federal Reserve bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board. 15.2. EXPENSES. (a) GENERALLY. The Borrower agrees upon demand to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of its reasonable external audit and investigation expenses, and for the fees, expenses and disbursements of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP (but not of other legal counsel) and for all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every type and nature incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with (i) the audit and investigation of the Consolidated Businesses, the Projects and other Properties of the Consolidated Businesses in connection with the preparation, negotiation, and execution of the Loan Documents; (ii) the preparation, negotiation, execution and interpretation of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VI), the Loan Documents, and the making of the Loans hereunder; (iii) the ongoing administration of this Agreement and the Loans, including consultation with attorneys in connection therewith and with respect to the Administrative Agent's rights and responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (iv) the protection, collection or enforcement of any of the Obligations or the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents; (v) the commencement, defense or intervention in any court proceeding relating in any way to the Obligations, any Project, the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (vi) the response to, and preparation for, any subpoena or request for document production 111 with which the Administrative Agent or any other Agents or any other Lender is served or deposition or other proceeding in which any Lender is called to testify, in each case, relating in any way to the Obligations, a Project, the Borrower, any of the Consolidated Businesses, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; and (vii) any amendments, consents, waivers, assignments, restatements, or supplements to any of the Loan Documents and the preparation, negotiation, and execution of the same. (b) AFTER DEFAULT. The Borrower further agrees to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders upon demand for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel and costs of settlement) incurred by such entity after the occurrence of an Event of Default (i) in enforcing any Loan Document or Obligation or any security therefor or exercising or enforcing any other right or remedy available by reason of such Event of Default; (ii) in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a "work-out" or in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding; (iii) in commencing, defending or intervening in any litigation or in filing a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings in any legal proceeding relating to the Obligations, a Project, any of the Consolidated Businesses and related to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other Loan Documents; and (iv) in taking any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or otherwise) described in clauses (i) through (iii) above. 15.3. INDEMNITY. The Borrower further agrees (a) to defend, protect, indemnify, and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each and all of the other Lenders and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VI) (collectively, the "INDEMNITEES") from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses (other than loss of profits), damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, reasonable expenses and disbursements of any 112 kind or nature whatsoever (excluding any taxes and including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not such Indemnitees shall be designated a party thereto), imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Indemnitees in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, the making of the Loans hereunder, the management of such Loans, the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans hereunder, or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or (ii) any Liabilities and Costs relating to violation of any Environmental, Health or Safety Requirements of Law, the past, present or future operations of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors in interest, or, the past, present or future environmental, health or safety condition of any respective Property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the presence of asbestos-containing materials at any respective Property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or the Release or threatened Release of any Contaminant into the environment (collectively, the "INDEMNIFIED MATTERS"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the Borrower shall have no obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to Indemnified Matters caused by or resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a non-appealable final judgment; and (b) not to assert any claim against any of the Indemnitees, on any theory of liability, for consequential or punitive damages arising out of, or in any way in connection with, the Commitments, the Obligations, or the other matters governed by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees. 15.4. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES. If any change in the accounting principles used in the preparation of the most recent financial statements referred to in 113 SECTIONS 8.1 or 8.2 are hereafter required or permitted by the rules, regulations, pronouncements and opinions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (or successors thereto or agencies with similar functions) and are adopted by any General Partner or the Borrower, as applicable, with the agreement of its independent certified public accountants and such changes result in a change in the method of calculation of any of the covenants, standards or terms found in ARTICLE X, the parties hereto agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions so as to equitably reflect such changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating compliance with such covenants, standards and terms by the Borrower shall be the same after such changes as if such changes had not been made; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, no change in GAAP that would affect the method of calculation of any of the covenants, standards or terms shall be given effect in such calculations until such provisions are amended, in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to so reflect such change in accounting principles. 15.5. SETOFF. In addition to any Liens granted under the Loan Documents and any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and any Affiliate of any Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Person (any such notice being hereby expressly waived) to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured (but not including trust accounts)) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of the Obligations of the Borrower to such Lender or any of its Affiliates, including, but not limited to, all Loans and all claims of any nature or description arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, irrespective of whether or not (i) such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or (ii) the Administrative Agent, at the request or with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, shall have declared the principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts due hereunder to 114 be due and payable as permitted by ARTICLE XI and even though such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of the Requisite Lenders, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of the Requisite Lenders, exercise its setoff rights hereunder against any accounts of the Borrower now or hereafter maintained with such Lender or any Affiliate. 15.6. RATABLE SHARING. The Lenders agree among themselves that (i) with respect to all amounts received by them which are applicable to the payment of the Obligations (excluding the fees described in SECTIONS 5.2(f), and 5.3 and ARTICLE XIII) equitable adjustment will be made so that, in effect, all such amounts will be shared among them ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, whether received by voluntary payment, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker's lien, by counterclaim or cross-action or by the enforcement of any or all of the Obligations (excluding the fees described in SECTIONS 5.2(f), and 5.3 and ARTICLE XIII), (ii) if any of them shall by voluntary payment or by the exercise of any right of counterclaim, setoff, banker's lien or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of the Obligations held by it, which is greater than the amount which such Lender is entitled to receive hereunder, the Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (which it shall be deemed to have done simultaneously upon the receipt of such payment) in such Obligations owed to the others so that all such recoveries with respect to such Obligations shall be applied ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such party to the extent necessary to adjust for such recovery, but without interest except to the extent the purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with such recovery. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this SECTION 15.6 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including, subject to SECTION 15.5, the right of setoff) with respect to such 115 participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 15.7. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. (a) GENERAL PROVISIONS. Unless otherwise provided for or required in this Agreement, no amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be effective without the written agreement of the Requisite Lenders (which the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to grant or withhold in their sole discretion) and the Borrower; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Borrower's agreement shall not be required for any amendment or modification of SECTIONS 12.1 through 12.8. No termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall be effective without the written concurrence of the Requisite Lenders, which the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to grant or withhold in their sole discretion. All amendments, waivers and consents not specifically reserved to the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders in SECTION 15.7(b), 15.7(c), and in other provisions of this Agreement shall require only the approval of the Requisite Lenders. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. (b) AMENDMENTS, CONSENTS AND WAIVERS BY AFFECTED LENDERS. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the following provisions of this Agreement shall be effective only by a written agreement, signed by each Lender affected thereby as described below: (i) waiver of any of the conditions specified in SECTIONS 6.1 and 6.2 (except with respect to a condition based upon another provision of this Agreement, the waiver of which requires only the concurrence of the Requisite Lenders), 116 (ii) increase in the amount of such Lender's Commitment, (iii) reduction of the principal of, rate or amount of interest on the Loans, or any fees or other amounts payable to such Lender (other than by the payment or prepayment thereof), and (iv) postponement or extension of any date (other than the Termination Date postponement or extension of which is governed by SECTION 15.7(c)(i)) fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees or other amounts payable to such Lender (except with respect to any modifications of the application provisions relating to prepayments of Loans and other Obligations which are governed by SECTION 4.2(b)). (c) AMENDMENTS, CONSENTS AND WAIVERS BY ALL LENDERS. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the following provisions of this Agreement shall be effective only by a written agreement, signed by each Lender: (i) postponement of the Termination Date, or increase in the aggregate Commitments to any amount in excess of $150,000,000, (ii) change in the definition of Requisite Lenders or in the aggregate Pro Rata Share of the Lenders which shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take action hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, (iii) amendment of SECTION 15.6 or this SECTION 15.7, (iv) assignment of any right or interest in or under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by the Borrower, and (v) waiver of any Event of Default described in SECTIONS 11.1(a), (f), (g), (i), (n), and (o). (d) ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AUTHORITY. The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the 117 written concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of that Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this SECTION 15.7, no amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, unless made in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Borrower shall have requested, in writing, that any Lender agree to an amendment, modification, waiver or consent with respect to any particular provision or provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and such Lender shall have failed to state, in writing, that it either agrees or disagrees (in full or in part) with all such requests (in the case of its statement of agreement, subject to satisfactory documentation and such other conditions it may specify) within thirty (30) days after such Lender receives such request, then such Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to agree or disagree, in full or in part, and in the Administrative Agent's sole discretion, to such requests on behalf of such Lender as such Lenders' attorney-in-fact and to execute and deliver any writing approved by the Administrative Agent which evidences such agreement as such Lender's duly authorized agent for such purposes. 15.8. NOTICES. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served, sent by facsimile transmission or by courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service, or upon receipt of a facsimile transmission. Notices to the Administrative Agent pursuant to ARTICLES II, IV or XII shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent. For the purposes hereof, the addresses of the parties hereto (until notice of a change thereof is delivered as provided in this SECTION 15.8) shall be as set forth below each party's name on the signature pages hereof or the signature page of any applicable Assignment and Acceptance, or, as to each party, at such other address as may be designated by such party in a written notice to all of the other parties to this Agreement. 118 15.9. SURVIVAL OF WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS. All representations and warranties made herein and all obligations of the Borrower in respect of taxes, indemnification and expense reimbursement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the making and repayment of the Loans and the termination of this Agreement and shall not be limited in any way by the passage of time or occurrence of any event and shall expressly cover time periods when the Administrative Agent, any of the other Agents or any of the other Lenders may have come into possession or control of any Property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. 15.10. FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any other Agent in the exercise of any power, right or privilege under any of the Loan Documents shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under the Loan Documents are cumulative to and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise available. 15.11. MARSHALLING; PAYMENTS SET ASIDE. None of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall be under any obligation to marshall any assets in favor of the Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that the Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any such Person exercises its rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, right and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. 119 15.12. SEVERABILITY. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 15.13. HEADINGS. Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement or be given any substantive effect. 15.14. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED, AND THE RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO DETERMINED, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES. 15.15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. No claim may be made by any Lender, the Administrative Agent, or any other Person against any Lender (acting in any capacity hereunder) or the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents of any of them for any consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. 15.16. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and permitted assigns of the Lenders. The rights hereunder of the Borrower, or any interest therein, may not be assigned without the prior written consent of all Lenders, except in accordance with the provisions of Article XIV hereof. 120 15.17. CERTAIN CONSENTS AND WAIVERS OF THE BORROWER. (a) PERSONAL JURISDICTION. (i) EACH OF THE LENDERS AND THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK, AND ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OVER APPEALS OF MATTERS HEARD IN SUCH COURTS, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH STATE COURT OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT.

COUNTERPARTS; EFFECTIVENESS; INCONSISTENCIES. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents, or supplements hereto may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective against the Borrower and each Lender on the Closing Date. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to the extent reasonable to be consistent one with the other, but to the extent that the terms and conditions of this Agreement are actually inconsistent with the terms and conditions of any other Loan Document, this Agreement shall govern. 15.19. LIMITATION ON AGREEMENTS. All agreements between the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender in the Loan Documents are hereby expressly limited so that in no event shall any of the Loans or other amounts payable by the Borrower under any of the Loan Documents be directly or indirectly secured (within the meaning of Regulation U) by Margin Stock. 122 15.20.

Subject to SECTION 15.1(g), the Lenders shall hold all nonpublic information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement, and identified as such by the Borrower, in accordance with such Lender's customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices (provided that such Lender may share such information with its Affiliates in accordance with such Lender's customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and provided further that such Affiliate shall hold such information confidential) and in any event the Lenders may make disclosure reasonably required by a bona fide offeree, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated transfer or participation or as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process and shall require any such offeree, transferee or participant to agree (and require any of its offerees, transferees or participants to agree) to comply with this SECTION 15.20. In no event shall any Lender be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by the Borrower; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, each offeree shall be required to agree that if it does not become a transferee or participant it shall return all materials furnished to it by the Borrower in connection with this Agreement.

None of the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders shall be deemed to be in privity of contract with any contractor or provider of services to any Project, 123 nor shall any payment of funds directly to a contractor or subcontractor or provider of services be deemed to create any third party beneficiary status or recognition of same by any of the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders and the Borrower agrees to hold the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders harmless from any of the damages and expenses resulting from such a construction of the relationship of the parties or any assertion thereof. 15.22.
