Subject to Sections 5.1.1 and 5.1.2, the “Percentage Interests” of the Partners shall be Mills eighty percent (80%) and Mack-Cali Partners twenty percent (20%). Mills’ Percentage Interest shall be divided between Mills as the Managing General Partner and Mills as a Limited Partner as follows: one percent (1%) as a General Partner, and seventy-nine percent (79%) as a Limited Partner. Mack-Cali Partners’ Percentage Interests shall be divided between Special General Partner and MC Partner as follows: one percent (1%) as the Special General Partner, and nineteen percent (19%) as a Limited Partner.

  5.2.3 Obligation of Mills and Mack-Cali Partners to Fund Required Equity. From and after the Execution Date, Mills Partner shall contribute one hundred (100%) percent of the Required Equity attributable to (A) real estate taxes for the Empire Tract, and (B) all costs associated with the creation of the Wetlands Mitigation Bank (as defined in the Redevelopment Agreement) for the Empire Tract in accordance with the Redevelopment Agreement until such time as Mills’ total capital contributions made pursuant to this Agreement from and after the Execution Date equals the Mills Capital Commitment. Except for the contributions of capital set forth in Section 5.2.4 (which shall occur on the Execution Date) and subject to Section 5.2.3.4, from and after the earlier of (A) the sixtieth day after the Execution Date, and (B) the Effective Date, the Mills Partner shall contribute eighty percent (80%) and the Mack-Cali Partners shall contribute twenty percent (20%) of the Required Equity (other than the Required Equity referred to in the preceding sentence) to the Partnership, on a pari passu basis, until such time that the Mack-Cali Partners’ total capital contributions made pursuant to this Agreement shall equal the MC Partners Capital Commitment and, thereafter, Mills shall contribute one hundred percent (100%) of the additional Required Equity to the Partnership until such time that Mills’ total capital contributions made pursuant to this Agreement shall equal the Mills Partner Capital Commitment. All capital contributions made by each Partner pursuant to this Section 5.2.3 shall be (A) added to the Unreturned Mills Partner Capital Contributions Account when and as such contributions are made by Mills Partner, and (B) added to the Unreturned MC Partner Capital Contributions Account when and as such contributions are made by either of the Mack-Cali Partners. Once the Mack-Cali Partners and the Mills Partner shall have each contributed funds to the Partnership equal to the amount of the MC Partner Capital Commitment and the Mills Partner Capital Commitment, as the case may be, no Partner shall be obligated to contribute any additional funds or capital to the Partnership.

5.2.3.1 Mack-Cali Partners’/Mills Partner’s Obligation to Fund; Mack-Cali Partners’/Mills Partner’s Failure to Fund. From time to time from and after the Execution Date as Required Equity shall be required to be funded pursuant to this Section 5.2.3.1 and to the extent that the aggregate capital contributions previously made by the Mack-Cali Partners to the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement (“Prior MC Contributions”) do not exceed the MC Partner Capital Commitment, the Managing General Partner shall provide a written notice (a “Funding Notice”), or if the Managing General Partner fails to issue a Funding Notice, whether or not the Mack-Cali Partners have theretofore contributed the MC Partner Capital Commitment in full, the Special General Partner shall issue such notice, to the Partners of such requirement, the total Required Equity so required and each Partners’ share of such total Required Equity. The Funding Notice shall set forth the proposed use of the requested Required Equity (which may be a general statement that the requested funds are to be used for budgeted expenditures). The Special General Partner may request, and the Managing General Partner shall provide within a reasonable time after such request from the Special General Partner, reasonable additional supporting detail of the underlying expenditures, but such request shall not in any way extend the time period in which funds must be provided hereunder. A Partner’s share of such total Required Equity shall be determined by multiplying the total Required Equity by the Partner’s Percentage Interest. Within fourteen (14) days after the date of receipt of the Funding Notice (the “Funding Period”), (a) the Mack-Cali Partners shall be obligated to, and shall, fund the amount of capital constituting their share of the total Required Equity until such time as the Mack-Cali Partners shall have funded capital to the Partnership aggregating the amount of the MC Partner Capital Commitment (the “MC Funding Amount”), and (b) the Mills Partner shall be obligated to, and shall, fund its share of such total Required Equity, until such time as the Mack-Cali Partners shall have funded capital to the Partnership aggregating the amount of the MC Partner Capital Commitment, and thereafter the Mills Partner shall be obligated to, and shall, fund one hundred percent (100%) of the remaining total Required Equity set forth in the Funding Notice until such time as the Mills Partner shall have funded capital to the Partnership equal to the amount of the Mills Partner Capital Commitment (the “Mills Funding Amount”), and shall within ten (10) days after written request by the Mack-Cali Partners, furnish written evidence of said funding (which evidence shall include the date(s) of funding and the amount(s) so funded) to the Mack-Cali Partners. In the event that either the Mack-Cali Partners or the Mills Partner shall fail to fund the MC Funding Amount or the Mills Funding Amount within the Funding Period, respectively, then the Managing General Partner or the Special General Partner, as the case may be, shall issue a second Funding Notice to the non-complying Partner and the non-complying Partner shall have five (5) business days to fund its respective funding amount (the “Funding Cure Period”). If the Mack-Cali Partners or the Mills Partner shall fail to fund any portion of the MC Funding Amount or Mills Funding Amount, respectively, before the end of the Funding Cure Period, such failure to fund shall constitute an “MC Funding Default” if by the Mack-Cali Partners and a “Mills Funding Default” if by the Mills Partner and the amount that the Mack-Cali Partners or Mills Partner fails to fund shall be referred to herein as, respectively, the “MC Default Amount” or the “Mills Default Amount”.

28


5.2.3.2 Consequences of MC Funding Default. If there is an MC Funding Default, then the Mills Partner may provide written notice (a “MC Funding Default Notice”) to the Mack-Cali Partners of the existence of such MC Funding Default at any time after the end of the Funding Cure Period provided that the Mills Partner shall have funded the Mills Funding Amount. Upon receipt of such MC Funding Default Notice by the Mack-Cali Partners, such MC Funding Default shall constitute a material breach of the Mack-Cali Partners’ obligation hereunder, and, in such event, the Mills Partner shall have the right to elect to either (i) dilute the Percentage Interest of the Mack-Cali Partners (an “MC Dilution Election”), as provided in Section 5.2.3.2(a), (ii) if the amount of Prior MC Contributions is less than twenty million dollars ($20,000,000), remove the Mack-Cali Partners as Partners (an “MC Removal Election”), as provided in Section 5.2.3.2(b), (iii) on its own behalf and on behalf of the Partnership, pursue the Mack-Cali Partners for all rights and remedies available at law and at equity in connection with such MC Funding Default pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.15, or (iv) make a Default Loan as provided in Section 5.3.1.

29


  (a) MC Dilution Election. If Mills Partner shall elect the MC Dilution Election, then the Mills Partner shall contribute funds to the Partnership in an amount equal to the MC Default Amount and, effective as of the date of the MC Funding Default, the Percentage Interests of the MC Partner and Special General Partner immediately prior to such MC Dilution Election shall each be reduced, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests immediately prior thereto, by subtracting the MC Reduction Percentage (as hereinafter defined) from the Mack-Cali’s Partners’ aggregate Percentage Interest immediately prior thereto and the Mills Partner’s aggregate Percentage Interest shall be increased, in proportion to the relative Percentage Interests of Mills attributable to its interest as the Managing General Partner and attributable to its interest as a Limited Partner immediately prior thereto, by the amount of the MC Reduction Percentage. In addition, the $130,000,000 amount set forth in Section 6.6(iv) shall be reduced by subtracting an amount equal to such $130,000,000 multiplied by the MC Reduction Percentage from such $130,000,000 and, if such $130,000,000 amount has already been reduced or increased due to a previous application of this Section 5.2.3.2(a) or Section 5.2.3.3(a), as applicable, then such number as previously reduced or increased shall be further reduced in accordance with this Section 5.2.3.2(a). The “MC Reduction Percentage” shall be determined by multiplying (a) the MC Unfunded Ratio (as hereinafter defined), by (b) twenty percent (20%). The “MC Unfunded Ratio” shall be the quotient determined by dividing the MC Default Amount by $32,500,000.

  (b) MC Removal Election. Mills Partner may elect the MC Removal Election if the amount of the Prior MC Contributions is less than twenty million dollars ($20,000,000), and if, at the time of the MC Funding Default, such MC Funding Default is not caused by failure of the Managing General Partner to issue a Funding Notice and the Mills Partner is not then in default under this Agreement (if Mills is in default under this Agreement and subsequently cures such default, then Mills Partner may thereafter elect the MC Removal Election). If Mills shall elect the MC Removal Election, then (a) effective as of the date of the MC Funding Default, the MC Partners shall be deemed to have assigned the MC Partners’ Partnership Interest to Mills Partner, (b) Mills Partner shall pay to MC Partners an amount equal to the balance in the Unreturned MC Partner Capital Contributions Account, and (c) effective after such payment, the MC Partners shall not have any rights or remedies under this Agreement or otherwise respecting Mills Partner, the Partnership or the Office/Hotel Land.

30


5.2.3.3 Consequences of Mills Funding Default. If there is a Mills Funding Default, then either of the Mack-Cali Partners may provide written notice (a “Mills Funding Default Notice”) to the Mills Partner of the existence of such Mills Funding Default at any time after the end of the Funding Cure Period provided that the Mack-Cali Partners shall have funded the MC Funding Amount. Upon receipt of such Mills Funding Default Notice by the Mills Partner, such Mills Funding Default shall constitute a material breach of Mills Partner’s obligation hereunder and, in such event, the Special General Partner (on behalf of the Mack-Cali Partners) shall have the right to elect to either: (i) if the amount of the Prior MC Contributions is at least twenty million dollars ($20,000,000), dilute the Percentage Interest of the Mills Partner (a “Mills Dilution Election”), as provided in Section 5.2.3.3(a), (ii) if the amount of Prior Mills Contributions is less than eighty million dollars ($80,000,000), remove the Mills Partner as a Partner and as the Managing General Partner (a “Mills Removal Election”), as provided in Section 5.2.3.3(b), (iii) on its own behalf and on behalf of the Partnership, pursue the Mills Partner for all rights and remedies available at law and at equity in connection with such Mills Funding Default pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.15, or (iv) make a Default Loan as provided in Section 5.3.1 hereof.

  (a) Mills Dilution Election. If the amount of the Prior MC Contributions is at least twenty million dollars ($20,000,000) and the Mack-Cali Partners shall elect the Mills Dilution Election, then the Mack-Cali Partners shall contribute funds to the Partnership in an amount equal to the Mills Default Amount and, effective as of the date of the Mills Funding Default, the Percentage Interest of the Mills General Partner as the Managing General Partner and Limited Partner, respectively, immediately prior to such Mills Dilution Election shall each be reduced, in proportion to the relative amounts thereof, by subtracting the Mills Reduction Percentage (as hereinafter defined) from the Mills Partner’s aggregate Percentage Interest prior thereto and the Mack-Cali Partners’ Percentage Interests shall each be increased, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests immediately prior thereto, by the amount of the Mills Reduction Percentage. In addition, the $130,000,000 amount set forth in Section 6.6(iv) shall be increased by adding an amount equal to such $130,000,000 multiplied by the Mills Reduction Percentage to such $130,000,000 and, if such $130,000,000 amount has already been increased or reduced due to a previous application of this Section 5.2.3.3(a) or Section 5.2.3.2(a), then such number as previously increased or reduced shall be further increased in accordance with this Section 5.2.3.3(a). The “Mills Reduction Percentage” shall be determined by multiplying (a) the Mills Unfunded Ratio (as hereinafter defined), by (b) 80%. The “Mills Unfunded Ratio” shall be the quotient determined by dividing the Mills Default Amount by the Mills Partner Capital Commitment.

31


  (b) Mills Removal Election. The Special General Partner may elect the Mills Removal Election if the amount of the aggregate capital contributions made by the Mills Partner to the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement (the “Prior Mills Contribution”) is less than eighty million dollars ($80,000,000), and if, at the time of the Mills Funding Default, the Mack-Cali Partners are not then in default under this Agreement (if the Mack-Cali Partners are in default under this Agreement and subsequently cure such default, then the Mack-Cali Partners may thereafter elect the Mills Removal Election). If the Special General Partner shall elect the Mills Removal Election, then (a) effective as of the date of the Mills Funding Default, the Mills Partner shall be deemed to have assigned the Mills Partnership Interest to the MC Partners, (b) the MC Partners shall pay to the Mills Partner an amount equal to the balance in the Unreturned Mills Partner Capital Contributions Account, and (c) effective after such payment, Mills Partner shall not have any rights or remedies under this Agreement or otherwise respecting any of the Mack-Cali Partners or the Partnership or the Office/Hotel Land.

5.2.3.4 Mack-Cali Partner’s Right to Withdraw from the Partnership if Capital is Required to be Funded Prior to Effective Date. If Required Equity shall be required to be funded as provided in Section 5.2.3 above by the Mack-Cali Partners on or after the sixtieth day after the Execution Date and prior to the Effective Date then, in lieu of funding such Required Equity, the Mack-Cali Partners may elect to withdraw from the Partnership by providing a written notice (a “Withdrawal Notice”) of such election to the Mills Partner. Such Withdrawal Notice must be delivered to the Mills Partner no later than the tenth (10th) business day after the date of the applicable Funding Notice. If the Mack-Cali Partners fail to provide a Withdrawal Notice, then the Mack-Cali Partners shall be deemed to have elected to fund such Required Equity in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.2.3. If the Mack-Cali Partners provide a Withdrawal Notice within such ten (10) business day period, then, effective as of the Execution Date, the Mack-Cali Partners shall be deemed to have assigned to the Mills Partner, and the Mills Partner shall be deemed to have accepted such assignment, of the Mack-Cali Partners’ Partnership Interests.

The Mills Partner, or any of its Affiliates, may (but shall not be required to) loan to the Partnership funds in the amount of any MC Default Amount pursuant to Section 5.2.3.2(a), and MC Partner, or any of its Affiliates, may (but shall not be required to) loan to the Partnership funds in the amount of any Mills Default Amount pursuant to Section 5.2.3.3(a) (either of such loans, a “Default Loan”). In the manner provided in Section 5.3.1.1 below, Mills Partner (or any of its Affiliates) and the MC Partners (or any of their Affiliates) may (but shall not be required to) also loan to the Partnership funds in the amount of (i) any Required Equity in excess of the sum of the Mills Partner Capital Commitment and the MC Partner Capital Commitment, (ii) if funds are required to own or operate the Project after all Required Equity has been funded, including to repay any indebtedness of the Partnership, or (iii) any Guaranty Payments (as hereinafter defined) (any such loan, a “Partner Loan”). Default Loans and Partner Loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to nine percent (9%) per annum, compounded quarterly; provided that if LIBOR in effect from time to time exceeds six and three-quarters percent (6.75%) per annum, then such loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of (i) nine percent (9%) per annum plus (ii) the amount by which LIBOR exceeds six and three-quarters percent (6.75%) per annum. Any Default Loan and, subject to Section 5.3.1.2, any Partner Loan, shall be repaid to the Partner(s) making such loan, with interest as aforesaid, prior to any distribution of Net Ordinary Cash Flow or proceeds from a Major Capital Event to any Partner and prior to the return of any capital to any Partner, but shall not be secured by any Partnership property. The Managing General Partner may, at any time, elect to convert any one or more of its Partner Loans (or, in the case of any Partner Loan funded by both Mills or a Mills Affiliate and MC Partners or an MC Partner Affiliate, the portion of such Partner Loan funded by Mills or the Mills Affiliate) to capital, in which event the amount of any such loans (or such portions thereof) shall be added to the Unreturned Mills Partner Capital Contributions Account; in such event, Mills Partner shall earn a Mills Return on the amount so converted. The Special General Partner may, at any time, elect to convert any one or more of its Partner Loans (or, in the case of any Partner Loan funded by both Mills or a Mills Affiliate and the MC Partners or an MC Partner Affiliate, the portion of such Partner Loan funded by the MC Partners or the MC Partner Affiliate) to capital, in which event the amount of any such loans (or such portions thereof) shall be added to the Unreturned MC Partner Capital Contributions Account; in such event, the MC Partners shall earn a MC Return on the amount so converted.

5.3.1.1 Procedure for Making Partner Loans/Default Loans. If either Mills Partner or MC Partner elects to make a Partner Loan (the “Lending Partner”), then the Lending Partner shall provide a written notice (the “Lending Partner Written Notice”) to the other Partner (the “Other Partner”) of such election and the total amount of such Partner Loan. The Other Partner shall then have ten (10) business days after receipt of Lending Partner Written Notice to notify the Lending Partner through written notice (the “Other Partner Written Notice”) that it desires to fund a portion of the Partner Loan equal to its share as determined below, in which case the Other Partner shall be required to, and shall, fund its share of such loan equal to the product of: (i) the total Partner Loan, as set forth in the written notice from the Lending Partner, and (ii) the Other Partner’s Percentage Interest. The Lending Partner shall be required to, and shall, fund its share of such Partner Loan (that is, an amount equal to the product of (y) the total Partner Loan, as set forth in the written notice from the Lending Partner, and (z) the Lending Partner’s Percentage Interest). If the Other Partner timely delivers to the Lending Partner the Other Partner Written Notice, then the Other Partner and Lending Partner shall fund their respective shares of such Partner Loan by no later than five (5) business days following the date of the Lending Partner’s receipt of the Other Partner Written Notice. Otherwise, the Lending Partner shall be required to, and shall, fund the entire Partner Loan no later than two (2) business days following the end of said ten (10) business day period.

5.3.1.2 Treatment of Partner Loans if Required Equity not Funded. To the extent that a Partner makes a Partner Loan at a time when such Partner has not fully funded its Capital Commitment, then such Partner shall be obligated to, and shall, fund such Partner Loan (or its share thereof) as determined under Section 5.3.1.1, although for purposes of Sections 6.5, 6.6, 6.7 and 13.2.4, in lieu of being treated as a Partner Loan, an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) the amount of such Partner Loan or portion thereof, and (ii) the amount by which such Partner’s Capital Commitment exceeds the portion of such Capital Commitment that has been funded prior to such funding (and taking into account any Partner Loans, or portions thereof, and any Equity Guaranty Payments previously added to the Unreturned Mills Partner Capital Contributions Account or Unreturned MC Partner Capital Contributions Account, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 5.3.1.2 and Section 5.3.1.3), shall be added to the Unreturned Mills Partner Capital Contributions Account (if such Partner is Mills) or to the Unreturned MC Partner Capital Contributions Account (if such Partner is one of the MC Partners).

5.3.1.3 Definition of Guaranty Payments. If the Mills Partner or the Mack-Cali Partners, or any of their respective Affiliates, are called upon to make payments under a guaranty of any loan to the Partnership, a guaranty provided in connection with any credit enhancement of Project public financing, an obligation to pay any special assessments levied against the Project (including any special assessment PILOT Payments or any other special assessment of payments in lieu of taxes for which the Partnership is responsible after giving effect to Article 10 hereof), amounts required to be advanced pursuant to such guaranty shall be referred to herein as “Guaranty Payments”. A return equal to the Mills Return or the MC Return, as applicable, shall accrue and be payable as part of the Mills Return or the MC Return, as applicable, on any Guaranty Payment. Any Guaranty Payment (or portion thereof) that, if treated as a Partner Loan (or portion thereof), would be required pursuant to Section 5.3.1.2 to be added to Unreturned Mills Partner Capital Contributions Account or the Unreturned MC Partner Capital Contributions Account, as applicable, shall pursuant to Section 5.3.1.2 be added to the Unreturned Mills Partner Capital Contributions Account or the Unreturned MC Partner Capital Contributions Account, as applicable, (in lieu of being treated as a Guaranty Payment) and shall be referred to herein as an “Equity Guaranty Payment” and, otherwise, shall be treated as a Partner Loan.

36


5.4     No Third Party Rights to Require Additional Capital Contributions. The right of the Partnership or the Managing General Partner to require any additional contributions under the terms of this Agreement shall not be construed as conferring any rights or benefits to or upon any party not a party to this Agreement including, but not limited to, any tenant of any part of the Project, or the holder of any obligations secured by a deed of trust or other lien or encumbrance upon or affecting, the Partnership, any Partnership Interest, or the Project or any other Partnership property or any part thereof or interest therein, or any ground lessor or sub-ground lessor under the Ground Lease or any other creditor of the Partnership.

5.5     No Interest on Capital. Interest earned on Partnership funds shall inure solely to the benefit of the Partnership, and except for the Mills Return or MC Return, no return or interest shall be paid upon any contributions to the capital of the Partnership nor upon any undistributed or reinvested income or profits of the Partnership.

5.6     Reduction of Capital Accounts. Any distribution to a Partner, whether pursuant to Sections 6.5 or 6.6 or any other Section of this Agreement, shall reduce the amount of such Partner’s Capital Account in accordance with Section 2 of Exhibit A hereto, but no adjustment in the Percentage Interest of any Partner shall be made on account of any such distribution except as provided in Section 5.1.1.

5.7     Special Limits on Mills Partner’s Capital Commitment. If as of the expiration of the time period covered by the Development Budget, Mills Partner shall not have contributed capital equal to the Mills Partner Capital Commitment, then Mills Partner shall have no further obligation to contribute capital to the Partnership.

5.8     Limit on Contributions and Obligations of Partners. Except as provided in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 hereof and as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Partners shall have no liability or obligation to the Partnership or to the other Partners (i) to make additional capital contributions to the Partnership, (ii) to make any loans to the Partnership, (iii) to endorse or guarantee the payment of any loan to the Partnership, or (iv) to post collateral to secure the obligations of the Partnership.

6.7     Special Rules Regarding Distributions.

  6.7.1 Distributions Upon the Occurrence of Certain Events. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 6.5 or 6.6, if any of the following should occur (any of the following being referred to herein as an “Early Termination Event”) (i) the NJSEA and the Partnership fail to enter into the Redevelopment Agreement prior to December 31, 2003, (ii) the Partnership, as the “Developer” under the Redevelopment Agreement, terminates the Redevelopment Agreement prior to the execution of the Ground Lease, or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction shall issue a final, nonappealable order finding the Redevelopment Agreement to be void and the Partnership and the NJSEA do not enter into a new redevelopment agreement within ninety (90) days of the issuance of such order, then, notwithstanding the above, any funds received by the Partnership in connection with or as a result of the occurrence of either of (i), (ii) or (iii) above and any other Partnership funds (other than net proceeds derived from or in connection with a transaction involving the Empire Tract as described in Section 6.10.2, which shall be allocated and distributed as provided in Section 6.7.2) shall be distributed to the Partners based on actual contributions of capital that each Partner has contributed to the Partnership between the Execution Date and the date of distribution of such funds on a last in, first out basis, and, thereafter, any preferred returns (i.e., the Mills Return and MC Return) thereon with the remainder, after distribution as aforesaid, to be deemed to constitute Major Capital Event Proceeds to be distributed pursuant to Sections 6.6(i) through (viii) above, taking into account prior distributions pursuant to Section 6.6, this Section 6.7.1 and Section 6.7.2. Moreover, in the event of such termination, then neither the Mills Partner nor the Mack-Cali Partners (nor any of their Affiliates) shall enter into any agreement or arrangement similar to, or which deals with or pertains to, any of the Project, the Land Parcels, the Hotel Land or the Office Land (or the Office/Hotel Land) for a period of forty-two (42) months from the date of such termination, unless the other Partner is offered participation on terms and conditions substantially similar to those contained herein (this covenant shall survive dissolution of the Partnership). In such event, Mills shall retain all rights respecting the Empire Tract as provided in Sections 6.7.2, 6.10 and 8.10.

40


  6.7.2 Distributions Upon Receipt of Funds from Transactions Involving the Empire Tract. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.6, net proceeds (that is, proceeds retained by the Partnership after payment of all closing costs, after payment of interest, prepayment fees or penalties, yield maintenance, principal, fees and expenses required to be paid under any applicable loan) derived from or in connection with a transaction involving the Empire Tract as described in Section 8.10 shall be allocated and distributed as follows:

(i) to the Mills Partner until such time as the aggregate proceeds received by the Mills Partner under this Section 6.7.2(i) equal the aggregate amount of the Empire Tract Costs, with such distributions reducing the Unreturned Mills Partner Capital Contributions Account by the amounts so distributed to the Mills Partner; and

(ii) the remainder of such proceeds, after distribution as provided in Section 6.7.2(i), shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with Section 6.6 as if such proceeds were received in connection with a Major Capital Event.

6.8     Payments/Other Matters under Cooperation Agreement. The Managing General Partner shall cause the Partnership to comply with all of its obligations under the Cooperation Agreement to the extent that the Partnership has available funds.

  6.8.1 In connection therewith, before making any distribution or payment to any Partner (or to any Affiliate of any Partner) pursuant to Sections 6.5, 6.6 or 6.10 or under any Default Loan, Partner Loan or Guaranty Payment, the Managing Partner shall cause the Partnership to: (a) make a pro forma calculation based on the then best available information of the amount that the Partnership will be obligated to pay to the Giants under the Cooperation Agreement (and any additional documentation related to said agreement) on the next payment date thereunder; and (b) then, upon such calculation being Approved by the Partners, set aside and retain as reserves (and not distribute or pay) such amounts first out of Net Ordinary Cash Flow and then from Major Capital Event Proceeds) that the Partners reasonably determine, based on such approved calculation, to be necessary so that the Partnership will have sufficient funds available to make the required payments due the Giants. Any reserves previously set aside and which the Managing General Partner reasonably determines are no longer necessary for the Partnership to retain as reserves shall be distributed or paid under Section 6.5 or 6.6 as Net Ordinary Cash Flow or Major Capital Event Proceeds. In the event that, notwithstanding the reserves established hereunder, the Partnership nonetheless has insufficient funds to make any required payment under the Cooperation Agreement, then the Partners hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any funds needed by the Partnership to make such payment shall be funded by the Partners, who shall re-contribute to the Partnership an amount of money equal to the amount of such remaining shortfall in proportion to, but not exceeding, the aggregate amount of distributions (including under any Partner Loan or Default Loan) previously received by each Partner, and in reverse order, pursuant to: (i) Section 6.5 and, then, if necessary, pursuant to Section 6.6 (in the case where such required payment is being made pursuant to Section 8(i) of the Cooperation Agreement); or (ii) Section 6.6 and, then, if necessary, pursuant to Section 6.5 (in the case where such required payment is being made pursuant to Section 8(ii) or (iii) of the Cooperation Agreement). Any amount re-contributed or re-paid by a Partner pursuant to this Section 6.8.1 shall, as of the date of such re-contribution or repayment, be added back to, as applicable, the accrued and unpaid Mills Return and the accrued and unpaid MC Return, Unreturned Mills Partner Capital Contributions Account, Unreturned MC Partner Capital Contributions Account, or to the outstanding principal balance of the Partner Loan or Default Loan.

41


  6.8.2 The Partnership and the Partners hereby agree to, and to cause their Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to cause the Cooperation Agreement to be separated into three (3) or more separate such agreements, one of which to be entered into by the Partnership and the Giants and pertaining to the Entertainment/Retail Component, one or two of which to be entered into by the owner of the Hotel Component (or the owners of the phases of the Hotel Component if the Hotel Component is developed in phases), and the Giants and pertaining to the Hotel Component, and one or more of which to be entered into by the owner(s) of the Office Component or the sub-Components thereof and the Giants and pertaining to the Office Component or the sub-Components thereof. The Partnership and the Partners hereby further agree to, and to cause their Affiliates to, reasonably allocate the rights, benefits and obligations under the Cooperation Agreement among the separate agreements. In the event that the Partnership, the Partners or their Affiliates are unable to cause the Cooperation Agreement to be separated into separate agreements as aforesaid, the Partners hereby agree that, in connection with the Take Downs of the Office/Hotel Component pursuant to Article 10, they shall, or cause their Affiliates to, reasonably allocate the rights, benefits and obligations under the Cooperation Agreement to each of the Entertainment/Retail Component, the Hotel Component and the Office Component as if the Cooperation Agreement were separate agreements as provided above. To the extent that any obligation (whether of payment or performance) under the Cooperation Agreement(s) (whether or not separated as aforesaid) is allocated to the ground tenant(s) of a Component to which such obligation does not relate (a “Burdened Component”) and such allocation requires the performance of an obligation or an expenditure of funds by the ground tenant(s) of such Burdened Component (a “Burdened Party”) for the benefit of the ground tenant(s) of the Component to which such obligation relates (a “Benefited Component”), the Partners hereby agree to, and to cause their Affiliates to, cause the ground tenant(s) of such Benefited Component (a “Benefited Party”) to reimburse the Burdened Party for the cost of such performance and/or for such expenditures within ten (10) business days of receipt of written notice and reasonable evidence of such performance and/or expenditure. In the event that a Benefited Party fails to reimburse a Burdened Party as required above, then (i) the Benefited Party shall be liable for any and all losses, costs, damages (including, without limitation, consequential damages), liability or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees), incurred by the Burdened Party in the payment or performance of the improperly allocated obligation; and (ii) the Burdened Party shall have the right to direct the Partners to withhold (or cause the withholding of) any and all money otherwise distributable to the Benefited Party and the Partner in which such Benefited Party owns an interest or to which it is Affiliated until such time as the Burdened Party is made whole.

42


6.9     Allocation of Benefits and Obligations under Authority Agreements; Rights of First Refusal.

  6.9.1 Allocation of Benefits and Obligations. The Partnership and the Partners hereby agree to, and to cause their Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to, cause the Authority Agreements to be modified or severed into three (3) or more separate such agreements, the one of which to be entered into by the Partnership and the other party or parties thereto and pertaining to the Entertainment/Retail Component, the one or two of which to be entered into by the owner of the Hotel Component (or the owners of the phases of the Hotel Component if the Hotel Component is developed in phases), and the other party or parties thereto and pertaining to the Hotel Component, and one or more of which to be entered into by the owner(s) of the Office Component or the sub-Components thereof and the other party or parties thereto and pertaining to the Office Component or the sub-Components thereof. The Partnership and the Partners hereby further agree to, and to cause their Affiliates to, reasonably allocate the rights, benefits and obligations under the Authority Agreements among the separate agreements. In the event that the Partnership, the Partners or their Affiliates are unable to cause the Authority Agreements to be separated into separate agreements as aforesaid, the Partnership and the Partners hereby agree that in connection with the Take Downs of the Office/Hotel Component pursuant to Article 10, they shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, reasonably allocate the rights, benefits and obligations under the Authority Agreements (including the NJSEA Profit Participation) to each of the Entertainment/Retail Component, the Hotel Component and the Office Component as if the Authority Agreements were separate agreements as provided above. To the extent that any obligation (whether of payment or performance) under the Authority Agreements (whether or not separated as aforesaid) is allocated to the ground tenant(s) of a Burdened Component and such allocation requires the performance of an obligation or an expenditure of funds by the Burdened Party for the benefit of the Benefited Party, the Partners hereby agree to, and to cause their Affiliates to, cause the Benefited Party to reimburse the Burdened Party for the cost of such performance and/or for such expenditures within ten (10) business days of receipt of written notice and reasonable evidence of such performance and/or expenditure. In the event that a Benefited Party fails to reimburse a Burdened Party as required above, then (i) the Benefited Party shall be liable for any and all losses, costs, damages (including, without limitation, consequential damages), liability or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees), incurred by the Burdened Party in the payment or performance of the improperly allocated obligation; and (ii) the Burdened Party shall have the right to direct the Partners to withhold (or cause the withholding of) any and all money otherwise distributable to the Benefited Party and the Partner in which such Benefited Party owns an interest or to which it is Affiliated until such time as the Burdened Party is made whole.

43


  6.9.2 Rights of First Refusal. Section 10.2 of the Redevelopment Agreement provides that the Developer has a right of first refusal (referred to in the Redevelopment Agreement and in this Agreement as the “Right of First Refusal”) respecting the acquisition, use, reuse and/or renovation of the Arena (as defined in the Redevelopment Agreement) (the “Arena ROFR”) and the development of the Meadowlands Racetrack (as defined in the Redevelopment Agreement) for a Hotel Use (as defined in the Redevelopment Agreement) (the “Hotel ROFR”). The determination of whether or not the Partnership shall exercise a Right of First Refusal must be Approved by the Partners no later than the fifteenth (15th) day after the receipt of an Offer Notice (as defined in the Redevelopment Agreement). If the election to exercise a Right of First Refusal shall not be Approved by the Partners within such fifteen (15th) day period, such failure shall be deemed to mean that the Partners do not approve of such election. The determination of whether or not to proceed with such election shall not be subject to the mediation and arbitration provisions of Section 15.15.

6.9.2.1 If the Partners do not approve of such election to exercise the Right of First Refusal, and if the Right of First Refusal that is the subject of the Offer Notice is the Hotel ROFR, then, subject to the provisions of the Redevelopment Agreement, the Mack-Cali Partners shall have the exclusive right during the five (5) day period (the “Exclusive Negotiation Period”) commencing on the date (the “Rejection Date”) that is the earlier of (i) the date upon which the Partners determine pursuant to a written instrument that the Partnership shall not exercise the Right of First Refusal, and (ii) the sixteenth (16th) day after receipt of an Offer Notice, to attempt to negotiate and enter into a written agreement with the NJSEA to acquire the property and rights that are subject to the Hotel ROFR. If the Mack-Cali Partners fail to enter into a written agreement with the NJSEA within such five (5) day period as aforesaid, then, subject to the provisions of the Redevelopment Agreement, the Mack-Cali Partners and the Mills Partner shall be permitted to negotiate independently with the NJSEA to so acquire the property and rights that are subject to the Hotel ROFR.

44


6.9.2.2 If the Partners do not approve of such election to exercise the Right of First Refusal, and if the Right of First Refusal that is the subject of the Offer Notice is the Arena ROFR, then, commencing with the Rejection Date, the Mack-Cali Partners and the Mills Partner shall be permitted, subject to the Redevelopment Agreement, to negotiate independently with the NJSEA to acquire the property and rights that are subject to the Arena ROFR.

6.9.2.3 If either of the Mack-Cali Partners (or any one of the Mack-Cali Partners or their respective Affiliate(s)) or the Mills Partner (or any of its Affiliates) shall enter into a written agreement with the NJSEA as described above to acquire the Arena or to develop a portion of the Meadowlands Racetrack for a Hotel Use, as applicable, then the Mills Partner (if the Mills Partner or its Affiliate(s) shall have entered into such a written agreement) shall provide written notice of such fact to the Mack-Cali Partners (a “Mills ROFR Contract Notice”), or the Mack-Cali Partners (if the any one of the Mack-Cali Partners or their respective Affiliate(s) have entered into such a written agreement) shall provide written notice of such fact to the Mills Partner (a “Mack-Cali ROFR Contract Notice”). The Mack-Cali Partners and the Mills Partner shall have five (5) business days after the receipt of, respectively, a Mills ROFR Contract Notice or a Mack-Cali ROFR Contract Notice, to provide a written notice to the other, of their election (a “ROFR Participation Notice”) to participate in the exercise of the applicable ROFR. A failure of a Partner to provide a ROFR Participation Notice within such five (5) business day period shall be deemed to be an election not to participate in the applicable ROFR.

6.9.2.4 If a Partner elects not to participate in the applicable ROFR, then the other Partner(s) and their respective Affiliate(s) shall be permitted to proceed independently with the proposed transaction with the NJSEA.

6.9.2.5 If the Mills Partner shall provide a timely ROFR Participation Notice to the Mack-Cali Partner, then the Mack-Cali Partners and the Mills Partner shall form a limited partnership and, in connection therewith, execute an agreement of limited partnership in substantially the form of the Office/Hotel Component LP Agreement. Upon such formation, the terms and provisions of such agreement of limited partnership shall govern the rights and obligations of the Partners and/or their Affiliates respecting the ROFR and the associated property and rights to be acquired from the NJSEA.

6.9.2.6 If the Mack-Cali Partners shall provide a timely ROFR Participation Notice to the Mills Partner, then the Mills Partner and the Mack-Cali Partners shall form a limited partnership in substantially the form of the limited partnership agreement to be entered into if the Mack-Cali Partners shall provide a Partnership Election pursuant to Section 10.7.3 of this Agreement. Upon such formation, the terms and provisions of such agreement of limited partnership shall govern the rights and obligations of the Partners and/or their Affiliates respecting the ROFR and the associated property and rights to be acquired from the NJSEA.

Pursuant to the Redevelopment Agreement, the Empire Tract will not be developed with an entertainment/retail complex as originally contemplated by the terms of the Mills LP Agreement but will be used and developed as a wetlands mitigation bank and, in connection therewith, the sale of mitigation credits. Following completion of the development of the wetlands mitigation bank on the Empire Tract, Mills shall cause the Empire Tract to be conveyed to the State of New Jersey or another governmental agency pursuant to the Redevelopment Agreement. As a result of the Development of the Entertainment/Retail Component on the Development Land rather than the Empire Tract, the Partners of the Partnership have agreed to the following provisions to take into account the rights and obligations of Mills LLC, the Kan Am Partners, Empire and Lazare as described above:

  6.10.1 Mills Partner agrees that amounts received on account of the Empire/Lazare Participation pursuant to Sections 6.5 and 6.6 shall be paid to Empire and Lazare or to any party that shall acquire the Empire/Lazare Partnership Interests, provided, however, that (y) if any portion of the Empire/Lazare Partnership Interest shall be acquired by the Partnership or any Affiliates of Mills, the Empire/Lazare Participation shall only apply to that portion of the Empire/Lazare Partnership Interest not acquired by the Partnership, and (z) if the actual amount payable to Empire and Lazare under the Mills LP Agreement relating to Empire’s and Lazare’s share of Net Operating Cash Flow or proceeds from a Major Capital Event (as such terms may be used in the Mills LP Agreement) are less than the amounts received in respect of the Empire/Lazare Participation pursuant to Sections 6.5 or 6.6, as applicable, Mills Partner shall refund the difference to the Partnership to be distributed to the Partners pursuant to Section 6.5 or Section 6.6, as applicable;

46


  6.10.2 All amounts received by or on behalf of the Partnership on account of sale of the Empire Tract, including the sale of mitigation credits with respect to the wetlands mitigation bank developed by the Partnership on the Empire Tract shall be distributed pursuant to Section 6.7.2 of this Agreement;

  6.10.3 Certain costs to be incurred with respect to the ownership of the Empire Tract and the development of the Empire Tract pursuant to the Redevelopment Agreement shall be paid by the Mills Partner and the Mack-Cali Partners as provided in Sections 5.2.3 and 8.10 hereof;

  6.10.4 The Special Fees and the Consulting Fees shall be paid by the Partnership in accordance with Section 9.9 utilizing the funding provided under the second sentence of Section 5.2.3 hereof;

  6.10.5 Mills Partner shall proceed to exercise its rights to exercise the Mills Call Right and take such steps as are reasonably necessary to acquire the Empire/Lazare Partnership Interest, including the Empire/Lazare Participation, for an amount not to exceed Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000); any costs in excess of such amount shall be subject to the Approval of the Partners (the “Empire/Lazare Buyout Amount”). The Empire/Lazare Buyout Amount shall be reflected as a line item on the Development Budget and the payment of such amount by Mills Partner, or its equivalent in Mills Units or Mills Stock, shall be credited to the Unreturned Mills Partner Capital Contributions Account;

  6.10.6 The Empire/Lazare Make Whole Payment shall be reflected by an increase in the Empire/Lazare Participation paid from Net Operating Cash Flow pursuant to Section 6.5(iv) hereof and from Major Capital Event Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.6(vii) hereof. In the event of the purchase of the Empire/Lazare Partnership Interest prior to a sale of the Entertainment/Retail Component, then the Empire/Lazare Make Whole Payment shall no longer be due and payable.

        Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, the Partnership shall not be obligated or responsible for the performance of any additional obligations, nor is it entitled to any rights under, the Mills LP Agreement or otherwise respecting the Empire Tract, Empire, Lazare or Terminal Construction Company.

  (a) Those decisions and acts set forth on Exhibit D (“Major Decisions”) shall require the prior written Approval of the Partners, which approval may either not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed or may be withheld in a Partner’s sole and absolute discretion as prescribed by Exhibit D. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, except with respect to Sections 8.4, this 8.6 (including Exhibit D), 8.7 and as provided in Section 8.8, the applicable Budgets and any other act or decision hereunder requiring the Approval of the Partners, it is understood and agreed that the Special General Partner shall at all times be without a vote, approval or consent right or veto right with respect to any decisions of the Partnership.

  (b) In the event of a failure to agree on a Major Decision, the matter shall be submitted to mediation and/or arbitration in accordance with Section 15.15 hereof and, during the pendency of such mediation or arbitration, the Managing General Partner shall continue to operate the Project and conduct the affairs of the Partnership in accordance with existing Budgets (subject to Section 8.8 below) and, otherwise, in accordance with this Agreement.

8.7     Emergency Authority.

  (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 8.4 or 8.6 hereof, the Managing General Partner shall have the right to take such actions and make such emergency expenditures as it, in its reasonable judgment, deems necessary for the protection of life or health or the preservation of Partnership assets if, under the circumstances, in the good faith estimation of the Managing General Partner, there is insufficient time to allow the Managing General Partner to obtain any required Approval of the Partners for such actions or expenditures that would otherwise require Approval of the Partners to be obtained hereunder. In such instances where the Managing General Partner shall not be able to obtain such Approval of the Partners, the Managing General Partner shall make a good faith attempt to nonetheless contact the other Partners even if to obtain their unwritten approval unless any delay resulting from such attempted contact would materially increase the risk to life or health or materially increase the magnitude or likelihood of property damage or other potential loss involved. In all events, the Managing General Partner shall notify the other Partners of such action contemporaneously therewith or reasonably promptly thereafter.

59


  (b) In connection with the Section 8.7(a) above, the Managing General Partner may make an emergency loan to the Partnership (an “Emergency Partner Loan”) to fund any emergency expenditures. An Emergency Partner Loan shall be deemed to be a Partner Loan hereunder. In such event, within a reasonable time after the Managing General Partner funds such Emergency Partner Loan the Managing General Partner shall provide the Other Partner (as defined in Section 5.3.1.1) with written notice of the total amount of such Emergency Partner Loan (the “MGP Emergency Partner Loan Notice”). The Other Partner shall then have ten (10) business days after receipt of the MGP Emergency Partner Loan Notice to notify the Managing General Partner whether it desires to acquire a portion of the Emergency Partner Loan (the “Other Partner Emergency Partner Loan Notice”), in which case the Other Partner shall be required to, and shall, acquire its share of such Emergency Partner Loan by paying the Mills Partner, within five (5) business days of the other Partner Emergency Partner Loan Notice, an amount equal to other Partner’s share of such Emergency Partner Loan determined by multiplying (i) the total Emergency Partner Loan, as set forth in the MGP Emergency Partner Loan Notice, by (ii) the Other Partner’s Percentage Interest.

8.8     Budgets.

  (a) As of the execution of this Agreement, the Partners have agreed upon the Pre-Development Budget attached hereto as Exhibit E. No later than the forty-fifth (45th) day after the expiration of the time period covered by the Pre-Development Budget, as such Pre-Development Budget may be amended from time to time as provided herein, the Managing General Partner shall prepare and formulate the proposed Development Budget and submit such proposed budget to the Mack-Cali Partners to be Approved by the Partners. If any Mack-Cali Partner has any questions regarding, or objections to, any item in such proposed budget, the Mack-Cali Partner shall send notice thereof to the Managing General Partner within ten (10) business days of receipt of such proposed budget. A failure of the Mack-Cali Partners to send notice within such ten (10) business day period shall be deemed to mean that the Mack-Cali Partners shall have approved such proposed budget. Upon such proposed budget being Approved by the Partners, such budget shall constitute the “Development Budget” hereunder.

60


  (b) The Managing General Partner shall prepare and formulate proposed annual Operating Budgets for the portions of the Project then owned by the Partnership for the period after the Grand Opening Date, setting forth estimated revenues and expenses, capital expenditures, reserves, contingencies, sources and applications of funds, and loans contemplated, if any (the “Proposed Budget”). Any Proposed Budget shall be in substantially the form of the budget attached hereto as Exhibit I. The first Proposed Budget shall be Approved by the Partners not less than sixty (60) calendar days prior to the Grand Opening Date; thereafter, subsequent Proposed Budgets shall not require the Approval of Partners, unless the Proposed Budget for such year indicates that the MC Return will not be paid during such year. In addition, if, with respect to a particular year (the “Measurement Year”), the Mack-Cali Partners do not receive (i) at least 90% of the MC Return that was to be paid by November 30th of the Measurement Year as set forth in the Annual Approved Budget, and (ii) at least one hundred percent (100%) of the MC Return that was to be paid through December 31st of the Measurement Year as set forth in the Annual Approved Budget for the Measurement Year by February 28th of the year (the “Subsequent Year”) that is subsequent to the Measurement Year, then the Special General Partner shall be permitted to approve all capital expenditures for the Subsequent Year that have not already been made and for which commitments do not yet exist, as well as all Material Deviations to the Annual Approved Budget for the Subsequent Year. Copies of a Proposed Budget shall be delivered to the Partners at least sixty (60) calendar days prior to the date such Proposed Budget is to become effective without regard to whether a Partner shall have approval rights over same. If any Mack-Cali Partner has any questions regarding, or objections to, items in the Proposed Budget requiring the Approval of the Partners, such Mack-Cali Partner shall send notice thereof to the Managing General Partner within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such Proposed Budget. A failure of the Mack-Cali Partners to send notice within such fifteen (15) day period shall be deemed to mean that the Mack-Cali Partners shall have approved such Proposed Budget. Upon such Proposed Budget being Approved by the Partners, if required, and all other Operating Budgets which do not require such approval shall constitute the “Annual Approved Budget” for the fiscal year in question.

  (c) If the Partners have not agreed upon the Annual Approved Budget for any year prior to the commencement of the Fiscal Year to be covered by such budget and if such budget requires Approval of the Partners as provided in Section 8.8(b), then, until (i) the first year Operating Budget is Approved by the Partners, the Managing General Partner shall operate the Project in accordance with the Development Budget, and (ii) the Annual Approved Budget for any subsequent Fiscal Year is prepared (and Approved by the Partners, if required), the Managing General Partner shall operate the Project in accordance with the most recently approved Annual Approved Budget, with the following modifications:

61


  (i) Real estate taxes, insurance premiums and similar items will be increased or decreased to reflect known changes in the costs for such items;

  (ii) Rent and all other amounts payable under the Ground Lease, Redevelopment Agreement, the Cooperation Agreement, the other Authority Agreements and payable as provided in Section 6.10 will be adjusted to reflect the current amount payable;

  (iii) Base rent and additional rent, if any, payable under leases wherein the Partnership is landlord shall be increased to reflect contractual increases in such rents, and shall be further adjusted to reflect signed leases to the extent the space in the Project has been occupied by tenants and any terminated or expired leases;

  (iv) All other items of expense shall be escalated by the year-to-year change in the Consumer Price Index; and

  (v) All extraordinary and non-recurring capital expenditures which were part of an Annual Approved Budget for a prior period and actually expended shall be deleted.

    (d)        The Approval of the Partners shall be required for approval of any expenditure that constitutes a Material Deviation from any Budget if such budget requires Approval of the Partners pursuant to Section 8.8(b). A “Material Deviation” shall mean (1) in connection with the Pre-Development Budget and the Development Budget, an increase in expenditures set forth in a particular line item or in the aggregate in the Pre-Development Budget or Development Budget, which, when aggregated with any other increases or decreases in such line item or aggregate expenses, as applicable, exceed ten percent (10%) of the amount of such line item or the aggregate expenses, as applicable after applying realized savings from other line items (and Mills shall provide information on such application to the Special General Partner within a reasonable time after such application), and (2) in connection with any of the following thee (3) categories reflected in an Operating Budget – Total Income, General and Administrative Expenses and All Other Expenses, shall mean an increase in expenditures set forth in any such category in the Operating Budget, which, when aggregated with any other increases or decreases in expenses for such category, exceed ten percent (10%) of the aggregate budgeted expenditures for such category set forth in the Operating Budget.


62


8.9     Management Agreement; Contracts.

  (a) The Management Agreement shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J as the same may be amended as hereinafter provided in this Section 8.9(a), and shall provide for payment of the management fee set forth in Section 9.3 hereof, the leasing fees set forth in Section 9.5 hereof and the Sponsorship Fees set forth in Section 9.8 hereof provided, however, that such fees are not exclusive and, in the event of an inconsistency between the provisions of this Article 8 or Article 9 and the provisions of the Management Agreement, the provisions of the Management Agreement shall control. The Partners acknowledge that, due to the fact that the form of Management Agreement has been agreed upon prior to completion of the Plans and Specifications and the Development Budget for the Entertainment/Retail Component, such form of Management Agreement may not address all matters relating to ownership and operation of the final Entertainment/Retail Component. To address this fact, the Partners agree that the form of Management Agreement may be amended prior to execution and from time to time thereafter as shall be necessary to more accurately address matters relating to ownership and operation of the final Entertainment/Retail Component, which amendment shall require the Approval of the Partners (provided, however, that the fees, reimbursements and other amounts payable pursuant thereto shall not be reduced from the amounts set forth in Article 9 hereof and/or as set forth in the Management Agreement, as applicable).

  (b) Subject to Section 8.6 and Exhibit D and the other provisions of this Agreement, in addition to the fees and agreements expressly described herein, the Manager or the Managing General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, may enter into one or more agreements or arrangements with other Persons, including without limitation Affiliates of the Manager or of one or more of the Partners, to provide specific leasing, marketing, tenant coordination, construction management, lease administration, financial, accounting, and other services for the Project, as well as administrative services for the Partnership other than for services for which the Mills Partner or its Affiliate(s) are receiving compensation under Sections 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.7 and 9.8. Copies of such agreements shall be provided to the Special General Partner. If a Mack-Cali Partner believes that such agreement or arrangement is not at market rates and on market terms and provisions, the Mack-Cali Partner shall notify the Managing General Partner in writing of such belief within ten (10) business days after being furnished with the terms and provisions of such agreement or arrangement. Failure by a Mack-Cali Partner to provide such a written notice within such ten (10) business day period shall constitute the approval of such agreement or arrangement (as so furnished to the Mack-Cali Partners) by the Mack-Cali Partners. If a Mack-Cali Partner provides such written notice within such ten (10) business day period, then the Partners shall try to resolve, in good faith, their differences with respect to such agreement or arrangement, provided, however, that any such agreement or arrangement, to be effective against the Partnership after a Mack-Cali Partner provides such notice, shall require the prior written Approval of the Partners.

63


8.10     Empire Tract. Subject to the Pre-Development Budget, Development Budget, currently effective Annual Approved Budget and Sections 5.2.3, 8.4 and 8.6 (including Exhibit D), from and after the date hereof, the Partnership shall fund certain costs relating to the ownership, development, operation, sale, financing and disposition of the Empire Tract as an expense of the Partnership as provided in Section 6.10, subject to the Mills Partner’s obligations set forth in Section 5.2.3.

8.11     Partner Cooperation. If Mills shall request such cooperation, the Mack-Cali Partners shall, in a commercially reasonable manner, provide such cooperation and expertise and participation as shall be necessary in order to gain the applicable governmental approvals and agreements with governmental agencies and instrumentalities in order to complete the Project as contemplated in the Budgets and shall be reimbursed (in the same manner as the Managing General Partner) for its out of pocket expenses and reasonable costs for same in accordance with and subject to Section 8.4 hereof if and to the extent Managing General Partner requests that the Mack-Cali Partners take the specific actions resulting in the requirements to expend such sums. The Mills Partner shall, in a commercially reasonable manner, provide its cooperation and expertise in a manner intended to enable the successful completion of the Project.

8.12     Formation of Sibling Entities. The Managing General Partner shall have the right to form a partnership or other entity that is not a corporation, limited liability company or an entity that is treated as a corporation and is not a Taxable REIT Subsidiary (within the meaning of Section 856(1) of the Code) for federal income tax purposes (“Sibling Entities”) owned by the Partners or their Affiliates or by the Partnership if required to do so by a lender providing financing in connection with the Entertainment/Retail Component or if the Managing Partner determines that formation is in the best interest of the Partnership and the Partners in order to develop the Entertainment/Retail Component or to own the leasehold interests in the Office/Hotel Land prior to the Take Downs pursuant to Article 10. Each such Sibling Entity shall own the portion of the Entertainment/Retail Component or Office/Hotel Land as shall be required by the lender or as determined have the Managing General Partner and shall be owned in the same proportion and manner as the Partnership and governed by an agreement substantially similar to this Agreement, provided, however, that contributions, distributions, capital commitments, obligations, etc. shall be integrated as if the Partnership and any Sibling Entities were a single entity subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

64


8.13     Expansion of the Entertainment/Retail Component. An election to expand the Entertainment/Retail Component (an “Expansion”) shall not be a Major Decision but shall be determined by Mills in the exercise of its sole and absolute discretion provided that such Expansion does not have a material adverse effect on the Office/Hotel Components.

8.14     Participation in meetings, conferences, etc./Copies of notices, documents, etc./Avoidance of duplicative costs. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,

  8.14.1 each Partner shall use reasonable efforts to give notice in any manner that is reasonable under the circumstances to the other Partners and such other Partners shall have the right to be present at, and participate in, any pre-scheduled discussions, meetings and other significant and material communications between any Partner (or any of its Affiliates) and the NJSEA or any other Governmental Authority or their representatives (“Third Party Discussions”). It is the intention of this Section 8.14.1 that each Partner shall be afforded the opportunity to fully and meaningfully participate in the Third Party Discussions to the extent practical under the relevant circumstances. In the event that a Partner does not or is unable to participate in any such Third Party Discussion for any reason, the participating Partner shall make reasonable efforts to keep the other Partner apprised of such Third Party Discussions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any such discussions are intended to affect the Office/Hotel Component, the Mack-Cali Partners shall be provided advance notice of such pre-scheduled discussions and shall have the right to participate in such discussions and to the extent that any such discussions are intended to affect the Entertainment/Retail Component, the Mills Partner shall be provided advance notice of such pre-scheduled discussions and shall have a right to participate in all such discussions; and

  8.14.2 each Partner shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to (and in the case of the Managing General Partner, shall cause the Partnership to), promptly furnish to, or make available to, all of the Partners copies of any and all material notices, submissions, settlements, resolutions, schedules, correspondence, court papers or filings, reports and other material documents or written materials (collectively, “Written Materials”) received from the NJSEA or any other governmental authority or agency (including, without limitation, the State of New Jersey, Bergen County or the Borough of East Rutherford) (“Governmental Authority”) with respect to or pertaining to the Project, if the substance of such Written Materials could materially affect any of the Project. A Partner shall use reasonable efforts to provide copies of correspondence from such Partner to a Governmental Authority concurrently with the delivery thereof provided, however, that a Partner shall discharge its duties under this Section 8.14.2 by making such written materials available to the other party at the location where the materials are retained. Each Partner shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use good faith efforts to promptly disclose to the other Partners any information of which the Partner or any of its Affiliates has actual knowledge (whether by reason of an oral or written communication or otherwise) that could have a material adverse effect on any of the Project.

8.15     Compliance with Authority Agreements/Partnership Defaults

65


  8.15.1 The Managing General Partner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Partnership to timely comply with all of the Partnership’s obligations under any of the Authority Agreements to the extent the Partnership shall have sufficient funds to permit such compliance.

  8.15.2 Although under no obligation to do so, at their option, either or both of the Mills Partner and the Mack-Cali Partners may, on behalf of the Partnership, cure any financial default of the Partnership under any of the Authority Agreements arising out of the Partnership not having sufficient funds to permit the Partnership to comply with the Partnership’s obligations under the applicable Authority Agreements. If both the Mills Partner and the Mack-Cali Partners desire to cure such a financial default, then each of Mills Partner and the Mack-Cali Partners shall be permitted to make a Partner Loan in connection therewith. In such event, each Partner shall be obligated to pay an amount equal to the total sum required to be paid to cure such default multiplied by such Partner’s Percentage Interest. If only the Mills Partner or only the Mack-Cali Partners desire to cure such a financial default, then the Mills Partner or the Mack-Cali Partners, as applicable, shall be obligated to pay the total sum required to be paid to cure such default. Any payments made by the Mills Partner and the Mack-Cali Partners pursuant to this Section 8.15.2 shall be treated as Partner Loans having priority over all other Partner Loans and Default Loans for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 6.5, 6.6, 6.7 and 13.2.4).

9.1     Compensation; Reimbursement.

  9.1.1 Compensation. Except as may be expressly provided for in this Article 9 or in the agreements referred to in Section 8.9, or in another written agreement Approved by the Partners, provided that any such agreement is subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.1.2, and except as provided in the Pre-Development Budget, the Development Budget or an Annual Approved Budget that is approved by the Special General Partner no payment will be made by the Partnership to any Partner or Affiliate of any Partner for the services of such Partner or any member, shareholder, director or employee, or Affiliate of such Partner.

  (d) Requests for reimbursement hereunder shall be paid within thirty (30) days after submission, subject to any necessary third-party approvals and subject to Section 8.9.

9.2     No Contracts with Affiliates. Except as provided in Section 8.9 and as otherwise provided in this Article 9, no Partner shall enter into any agreement or other arrangement for the furnishing to or by the Partnership of goods or services or leases, subleases, licenses, concessions or other agreements with any Person who is an Affiliate of such Partner (including leases of space to Affiliate Businesses) unless goods or services are provided to the Partnership or such lease or other payments are at market rates of compensation and the terms and conditions thereof are approved by the Managing General Partner.

9.3     Management Fees. The management fee to be paid to the Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement by the Partnership shall be an amount equal to four percent (4%) of the gross rental income (including, without limitation, minimum rent, percentage rent, expense recoveries from tenants and miscellaneous income) received by the Partnership subject, however, to Section 8.9. The Special General Partner shall be paid an asset management fee equal to $8,333.34 per month (the “SGP Asset Management Fee”) in consideration of the Special General Partner’s cooperation in connection with the ownership and operation of the Entertainment/Retail Component. The SGP Asset Management Fee shall be payable, in arrears, in each month in which the Manager earns a management fee. During the period commencing on the Execution Date and terminating on the date upon which the Unreturned MC Partner Capital Contributions Account is reduced to zero pursuant to Section 6.6(v), the Manager shall also receive an asset management fee (the “Asset Management Fee”) in an amount equal to one percent (1%) of gross rental income as described in the first sentence of this Section 9.3.

67


9.4     Development Management Fees.

  9.4.1 Mills. The Partnership shall be obligated to pay to an Affiliate of Mills a development management fee for development services in connection with the Entertainment/Retail Component equal to five percent (5%) of the Project Costs subject to a maximum development management fee of $40,000,000, payable as provided in the Development Budget commencing upon the opening of the Construction Loan and in such frequency and in such amounts as set forth in the Development Budget. For purposes of this Agreement, “Project Costs” are defined to mean all development costs of the Entertainment/Retail Component less (i) land acquisition costs, (ii) all fees paid by the Partnership pursuant to Sections 9.3 through 9.9 hereof, and (iii) all fees paid by the Partnership to third party brokers. Except as provided in Section 9.7 and Section 9.1.2 herein, said fee shall cover, without limitation by way of enumeration, all costs of administering construction of the Entertainment/Retail Component, including, for example, salaries, overhead, travel, and all other out-of-pocket costs provided, however that Mills shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable on site costs in connection with the development and construction of the Entertainment/Retail Component.

9.5     Lease-Up Fees.

  9.5.1 Mills. Mills or its Affiliate shall have the primary responsibility for the initial and post-Grand Opening Date leasing of the Entertainment/Retail Component. To cover the costs of the leasing of space in the retail and entertainment portions of the Project, the Partnership shall pay to an Affiliate of Mills a leasing fee of Four and 50/100 Dollars ($4.50) per square foot of leased space for each initial lease-up and a leasing fee of Five and 00/100 Dollars ($5) per square foot of leased space for each lease-up of a particular space subsequent to the initial lease-up of such space for small shop leases and for Anchor Leases. For a specialty or temporary lease (defined to be any leases, license agreements or other occupancy agreements of less than one year), such Affiliate of Mills shall receive a leasing fee (a “Specialty Leasing Fee”) equal to twenty percent (20%) of the rent payable under such specialty or temporary lease, license or other occupancy agreement, with such Specialty Leasing Fee being payable as hereinafter provided. Said fees shall not cover third party marketing or other expenses related to leasing (i.e., brochures, advertising, conventions, design, plans and other preparation charges, special events and outside legal services), all of which third party expenses shall be Project Costs, paid directly by the Partnership, or reimbursed to such Affiliate if such Affiliate paid such expenses.

68


  In addition, the aforementioned leasing fee of Four and 50/100 Dollars ($4.50) per square foot and Five and 00/100 Dollars ($5) per square foot shall be increased from time to time by increases in the Consumer Price Index as compared to such index in effect as of the Effective Date, subject to Section 9.5.2. If legal services for leasing space are rendered by in-house counsel for such Affiliate, the Partnership shall reimburse such Affiliate for said services as set forth in the Management Agreement. Any such fees shall cover the costs of all leasing services and costs relating to initial lease-up of the Project, excluding fees paid to outside brokers. Said fees shall be paid eighty percent (80%) at the time the lease has been executed and twenty percent (20%) when the tenant under said lease has opened for business and is paying rent under said lease or has occupied the leased space and has executed an estoppel certificate, whichever set of events occurs earlier. If a third party broker other than a Direct Broker (as hereinafter defined) is involved in any such leasing, the Partnership shall pay fees to such third party broker in an amount not to exceed market fees for such leasing services. If the tenant fails to open for business or occupy the premises under said lease pursuant to the terms of such lease or fails to commence payment of rent and due to such failure the Partnership terminates such lease, then in that event all fees previously paid to such Affiliate in respect of such lease as provided in the immediately preceding sentence shall be credited toward any amounts next becoming due to such Affiliate pursuant to this Section 9.5. Leasing fees for renewed leases shall be calculated on a $2.25 per square foot basis as increased from time to time by increases in the Consumer Price Index as compared to such index in effect as of the Effective Date, subject to Section 9.5.2. Mills Partner shall be entitled to receive fees and commissions for land sales, including the sale of the portion(s) of the Project then owned by the Partnership (excluding, however a sale of the entire Entertainment/Retail Component or the entire Project), of 6% of the gross sales price or, if a ground lease, 6% of the aggregate rent payable for the first 10 years of the lease term. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a third party broker is engaged by the Mills Partner or its Affiliate (such a broker being referred to herein as a “Direct Broker”), the Partnership shall pay fees to such Direct Broker in an amount not to exceed the greater of (i) the market fees for such leasing services or land sales, and (ii) any fees otherwise due to the Mills Partner or its Affiliate in connection with such transaction. In such event, any fees otherwise due to the Mills Partner or its Affiliate shall be reduced by the amount of the fee payable to such Direct Broker. In the event that the Mack-Cali Partners Take Down an Office or Hotel Component and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Mills Partner or its Affiliate shall not be entitled to any fee or other compensation in connection with such Component taken down.

  9.5.2 Cap on Increases Determined Based on Increases in the Consumer Price Index. Any increase in amounts payable in this Article 9 that are subject to adjustment based on increases in the Consumer Price Index shall be limited to the lesser of (i) the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index as determined as provided herein or in the Management Agreement, as applicable, or (ii) 2.5%.

9.6     Financing Fees. The Partnership shall pay to an Affiliate of Mills and the MC Partners or their Affiliate for services in connection with arranging financing for the Entertainment/Retail Component a fee in the aggregate equal to three-eighths of one percent (.375%) of the aggregate principal amount of any construction loan or permanent loan, or refinancing thereof. The Partnership shall pay the Affiliate of Mills an amount equal to two-thirds (2/3) of such fee and shall pay the MC Partners or their Affiliate an amount equal to one-third (1/3) of such fee.

69


9.7     Project Supervision Fees. The Partnership shall pay to an Affiliate of Mills a fee equal to the cost to such Affiliate of providing personnel supervising the construction of the Project as set forth in the applicable Budgets. The cost of all on-site and off-site Project managers and supervisors employed by such Affiliate during construction of the Project shall be included in said supervision fee with appropriate allocations as set forth in the approved Development Budget. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the construction management firm engaged by the Partnership for management of the Project construction shall be paid separately by the Partnership.

9.8     Sponsorship Fees. For so long as an Affiliate of Mills serves as Manager of the Entertainment/Retail Component, the Manager shall serve as the exclusive agent of the Partnership for obtaining sponsorship and marketing partnership agreements with third parties for the retail and entertainment portions of the Entertainment/Retail Component (“Sponsorship Services”). The Management Agreement shall provide for payment to the Manager of a fee (the “Sponsorship Fee”) which shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sponsorship Revenue (as hereinafter defined) payable under all Sponsorship Agreements (as hereinafter defined) in effect during the applicable accounting period times twenty-five percent (25%). With respect to any specialty or temporary leasing component, the fees shall be computed and payable as provided in Section 9.5.1 hereof. As used herein, the term “Sponsorship Agreements” means alliances with a corporation, brand or product that joins with the use of the Mills image, properties or assets to communicate and interact with consumers, in exchange for cash and/or in-kind fees. Sponsorship Agreements may provide, among other things, for the leasing of in-line space and placement of advertising on mall directories. In the event a sponsorship arrangement involves more than one source of revenue (e.g., leasing of space as well as advertising), Manager shall fairly allocate such revenue over all components of the sponsorship arrangement in proportion to the relative fair market value of each component. Manager may employ brokers/consultants to assist Manager in performing Sponsorship Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the cost of implementing any sponsorship agreement (including, by way of example and not of limitation, the construction of display areas or other similar improvements) shall be borne by Owner. “Net Sponsorship Revenue” shall mean the gross revenue received by Owner pursuant to all Sponsorship Agreements during the applicable accounting period, less the portion of any capital expenditure (but not any activation expenses) incurred solely as a result of the Sponsorship Agreement and to be amortized with respect to such accounting period. Net Sponsorship Revenue shall include, without limitation, the value of any in-kind property or services provided by the sponsor to Owner pursuant to the applicable Sponsorship Agreements; the value of such in-kind property or service shall be the reasonable value, as set forth in the Sponsorship Agreement or, if not stated in such agreement, shall be estimated in good faith by the Manager. In calculating the average annual Net Sponsorship Revenue, any contingent revenue payable under a Sponsorship Agreement shall be estimated in good faith by the Manager and the basis therefore shall be provided to the Special General Partners. Net Sponsorship Revenue shall not include revenue received by Owner in connection with pay telephones or any commissions thereon.

70


9.9     Payment of Special Fees and Consulting Fees. Mills or its Affiliates are obligated to pay certain “Special Fees” and consulting fees (the “Lazare Consulting Fees”) to Empire, Lazare and Terminal Construction Company in the amounts and subject to the occurrence of certain dates or events as set forth on attached Exhibit K. The amounts of the Special Fees and the Lazare Consulting Fees shall not be increased without the Approval of the Partners.

9.10     Subordination of Fees as Required under Redevelopment Agreement. Each of the Partners shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute such agreements subordinating fees due to such parties as shall be required from time to time under the Redevelopment Agreement.

9.11     No Duplicate Fees. Except as may otherwise specifically be provided hereunder or in the Management Agreement and except for third party fees paid in connection with financing or refinancing all or any portion of the Project, the Managing General Partner shall not cause or permit the Partnership to incur duplicative fees, costs or other expenses for the same services including, without limitation, brokerage, leasing, marketing, consulting, management, financing, brokerage, development, pre-development, project supervision and sponsorship services.

ARTICLE 10

FORMATION OF COMPONENT ENTITIES;

DEVELOPMENT OF OFFICE COMPONENT AND HOTEL COMPONENT

10.1     Development of Office Component and Hotel Component; Formation of Component Entities. The Redevelopment Agreement contemplates that construction of the Hotel Component and the Office Component (collectively, the “Office/Hotel Component”) may occur as Phase III and Phase IV of the Project, subject to favorable economic and market conditions as more particularly set forth therein. The Mack-Cali Partners shall have the option to develop the Office/Hotel Component and phases thereof on terms and conditions set forth below.

  10.1.1 Separate Development of Entertainment/Retail, Office and Hotel Components; Separate Ground Leases. The Redevelopment Agreement contemplates that the Entertainment/Retail Component, the Office Component (and the four (4) sub-Components thereof – that is, Buildings A, B, C and D as defined in the Redevelopment Agreement) and the Hotel Component (or phases thereof) may be developed at different times either by the Partnership or by one or more other entities or a combination thereof (a “Staged Development”). The Redevelopment Agreement contemplates that the Partnership may own the entire leasehold estate under the Ground Lease or, in order to provide flexibility in connection with the separate development of the Entertainment/Retail Component, the Office Component and the Hotel Component (or phases thereof) as aforesaid, the Partnership may elect that separate Component Entities (as hereinafter defined) be created to own, develop, use and operate such Staged Development pursuant to a separate Component Lease for each Component which shall allocate 32% of the amounts payable under the Ground Lease to the various Components, phases and sub-Components as provided in Section 10.4.1.1(a). If separate Component Entities are created, there shall be one Component Entity for the Entertainment/Retail Component, one or two for the Hotel Component (depending upon whether or not the Hotel Component is constructed in two phases) and one for each of the sub-Components of the Office Component or a combination of such sub-Components. Upon the Ground Lease Closing Date (as such term is defined in the Redevelopment Agreement), the Managing General Partner may, but shall not be obligated to, cause the Partnership to enter into six (6) Component Leases and six (6) Component Agreements in accordance with the Redevelopment Agreement. A Component Entity may not be a limited liability company.

71


  10.1.2 Creation of Separate Component Entities Prior to Conveyance of Office/Hotel Component. The Managing General Partner may elect to create separate Component Entities, Component Leases and Component Agreements prior to the conveyances or assignments of interests by the Component Entity to the Office/Hotel Component Owner. In such event, the Component Entity for the Entertainment/Retail Component shall be owned directly or indirectly by the Partnership or by a Sibling Entity pending the conveyance or assignments of the direct or indirect interest by the Component Entity to the Office/Hotel Component Owner. Upon the Take Down of a Component or Sub-Component, as applicable, the Partnership or such Sibling Entities, as applicable, shall convey the applicable leasehold estate or assign the direct or indirect interests therein to the Office/Hotel Component Owner.

  10.1.3 Cooperation. Each of Mills Partner and the Mack-Cali Partners and their respective Affiliates covenants to provide such cooperation and promptly execute such consents, agreements and take such other actions as shall be necessary or desirable to carry out the purpose and intent of this Article 10.

10.2     MC Partner Option to Develop Office/Hotel Component. If separate Component Entities, Component Leases or Component Agreements are created as described in Section 10.1.1, the Redevelopment Agreement contemplates that a Component Entity shall hold the leasehold interest for a particular Component, phase or sub-Component thereof under a Component Lease. The Special General Partner shall have the option (the “Office/Hotel Development Option”) to (or to designate one or more of its Affiliates to) be the managing general partner of the Component Entities that shall Take Down Phase III and Phase IV or portions thereof in accordance with the Redevelopment Agreement and to Take Down either the first phase of the Hotel Component (that is, a phase upon which a hotel of not less than 260 rooms shall be constructed) or one or more of the sub-Components of the Office Component (that is, a portion of the Office Component upon which an office building of not less than 440,000 square feet shall be constructed); provided, however, that the Special General Partner shall be obligated to Take Down the first phase of the Hotel Component upon its exercise of either the Four Year Office/Hotel Development Option (as defined below) or the Six Year Office/Hotel Development Option (as defined below). The Component Entities shall be formed pursuant to Sections 10.3, 10.1.1 and 10.1.2. The Mills Partner shall substantially complete the construction of the Traffic and Infrastructure Improvements described in Sections 3.2(a)(i) through (iv) of the Redevelopment Agreement as required under the Redevelopment Agreement by the earlier of (A) the Grand Opening Date, or (B) the date upon which the Managing General Partner shall provide a Development Acceleration Notice. If the Traffic and Infrastructure Improvements described in Sections 3.2(a)(i) through (iv) of the Redevelopment Agreement have not been constructed as required under the Redevelopment Agreement by the date of the Special General Partner’s timely exercise of an Office/Hotel Development Option, then the Special General Partner shall not be obligated to Take Down a Component, phase or sub-Component, as applicable, pursuant to such exercise of an Office/Hotel Development Option until five (5) business days after such Traffic and Infrastructure Improvements have been constructed as required under the Redevelopment Agreement. The Special General Partner’s Office/Hotel Development Options shall be exercisable by the Special General Partner no later than the dates set forth in the following schedule:

72


(i) The Special General Partner’s first Office/Hotel Development Option shall be exercisable by the Special General Partner no later than the date that is four (4) years after the Grand Opening Date (hereinafter referred to as the “Four Year Office/Hotel Development Option” or the “First Component”).

In all events, the Special General Partner shall at its option Take Down all of the Office/Hotel Components no later than the date that is ten (10) years after the Grand Opening Date. To the extent that the Special General Partner shall have not exercised any one of its Office/Hotel Development Options as of the date specified in the above schedule, the Special General Partner shall no longer have any right to Take Down all other subsequent Components for which it has not exercised an Office/Hotel Development Option.

73


  10.2.1 Special General Partner’s Election. If the Special General Partner desires to exercise an Office/Hotel Development Option, the Special General Partner shall provide notice (an “Office/Hotel Development Election Notice”) to the Mills Partner of such desire no later than the date on which such Office/Hotel Development Option may be exercised (as set forth in Section 10.2 above) and shall set forth in such notice which of the Components or phases thereof it desires to Take Down (e.g., the first phase of the Hotel Component or one of the sub-Component of the Office Component) (the “Applicable Component”) and the proposed Take Down date (each an “Office/Hotel Election Notice Date”). The First Component or phase thereof, as applicable, to be developed as provided in the Office/Hotel Development Election Notice is referred to herein as the “First Development Component”. Upon its exercise of a Office/Hotel Development Option, the Special General Partner shall have no obligation to commence construction of the Applicable Component until the Special General Partner determines in its sole discretion that certain economic and market conditions as set forth in the Redevelopment Agreement exist, as applicable, subject to the Mills Partners acceleration rights described in Section 10.3. If the Applicable Component is the Hotel Component, then the development contemplated in the Office/Hotel Development Election Notice must include the first phase of the hotel which shall not be less than 260 rooms and, if the Applicable Component is the Office Component, the aggregate number of square feet of each sub-Component of the office buildings in the Office Component being not less than 440,000 square feet. The Office/Hotel Development Election Notice may provide that the Office/Hotel Development will be developed in phases (that is, the Hotel Component may be developed in two phases, then each of Buildings A through D (as defined in the Redevelopment Agreement) shall be developed in one or more phases), such that the aggregate square feet of the office buildings is approximately 1,760,000, or such lesser amount as required pursuant to zoning ordinances, approvals and the Redevelopment Agreement. Prior to commencement of construction of the Component or phases or sub-Component thereof, the Special General Partner shall provide to the Office/Hotel Component Owner (as herein defined), the following which shall include such reasonable detail and contain such matters as shall be required under the Redevelopment Agreement:

10.2.1.1 Development and Operating Budgets.

10.2.1.2 Construction Schedule. A construction schedule, setting forth anticipated commencement of construction, substantial completion and occupancy of each individual building, parking facility or other material amenity, building or other sub-Component within the Office Component and the Hotel Component or phase thereof, with commencement of construction of the applicable Component or sub-Component occurring no later than 90 days after the Take Down date set forth in the Office/Hotel Development Election Notice or on such earlier date as determined in accordance with Section 10.3.1; and subject to Section 10.6.7.3; and

74


10.2.1.3 Site Plans, etc. Site plans, architectural renderings and other visual depictions of MC Partners’ proposed development of the entire Office/Hotel Component or a phase or sub-Component thereof including such documents as shall be required to be delivered to the NJSEA for Master Plan Approval of the Office/Hotel Component in accordance with the Redevelopment Agreement.

10.3     Mills Acceleration and Formation of Component Entities.

  10.3.1 Mills Partner’s Right to Request Acceleration of Commencement Dates of Staged Development. The Mills Partner may request, by written notice to MC Partner (a “Development Acceleration Notice”), that the date(s) for commencement of development of all or a particular sub-Component of the Office/Hotel Component occur on a date prior to the applicable dates set forth in Section 10.2. Provided that Mills Partner complies with either or both of Sections 10.3.1(a) and (b) in connection with the delivery of the Development Acceleration Notice, the Mills Partner may provide a Development Acceleration Notice to MC Partner at any time after the earlier of: (i) the date upon which MCRC (or its successor) publicly announces in a press release or public filing that it has no intention in the future of being in the business of developing office buildings or that MCRC (or its successor) publicly announces in a press release or public filing that it has no intention in the future of developing office buildings in the State of New Jersey; or (ii) (A) the date that is two (2) years after the Grand Opening Date or (B) the date immediately subsequent to the date that the Special General Partner has delivered an Office/Hotel Election Notice with respect to the First Component; (iii) (A) the date that is four (4) years after the Grand Opening Date or (B) the date immediately subsequent to the date that the Special General Partner has delivered an Office/Hotel Election Notice with respect to the Second Component; or (iv) no more frequently than every two (2) years after the dates set forth in (ii) and (iii) above; provided that the Mills Partner shall have the right to accelerate the remaining two (2) Office Components (or sub-Components), and the remaining phase of the Hotel Component (if the Hotel Component was developed in two (2) phases), at any time after the date which is eight (8) years after the Grand Opening Date.

  (a) Favorable Economic and Market Conditions. If the Mills Partner determines that economic and market conditions are favorable for the commencement of development of a particular Component, phase or sub-Component thereof, then the Mills Partner shall provide a written notice (a “Market Development Notice”) to the Special General Partner of such determination. The Market Development Notice shall be accompanied by a description of the Applicable Component or phase thereof that the Mills Partner has determined should be conveyed or partnership interests assigned to the Office/Hotel Component Owner prior to the applicable date (as set forth in Section 10.2 above) for such conveyance, a proposed date of such conveyance and reasonable evidence of favorable economic and market conditions. The Special General Partner shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of a Market Development Notice to elect, by written notice to the Mills Partner, to proceed with the conveyance on the date specified in the Market Development Notice. If the Special General Partner provides a written notice of such election to proceed, then the conveyance or partnership interest assignment of the particular Component or phase thereof shall occur on the date specified in the Market Development Notice. If the Special General Partner fails to provide a written notice to proceed within such thirty (30) day period, then the decision whether to proceed with the conveyance on the date specified in the Market Development Notice shall be a Major Decision and either party shall have the right to avail itself of the provisions of Section 15.15.

75


  (b) Third Party Commitment to Finance. If the Mills Partner obtains a term sheet or written evidence of a provisional commitment (a “Loan Commitment”) from a third party lender proposing to provide financing at market rates and upon commercially reasonable terms and conditions (including but not limited to loan to value ratios and debt service ratios) to finance the development of a particular Component, phase or sub-Component thereof prior to the earlier of the applicable date set forth in Section 10.2 above or the actual date of conveyance for such Component, phase or sub-Component thereof, then Mills shall provide a written notice (a “Loan Commitment Notice”) to the Special General Partner of such fact. The Loan Commitment shall be non-recourse and shall not require that an entity guaranty the obligations of the borrower thereunder or, if recourse or a guaranty or guaranties shall be required, such recourse and/or guaranty or guaranties shall be the obligation of the Mills Partner or its Affiliate, but not the MC Partners or their Affiliate(s). The Loan Commitment Notice shall be accompanied by a description of the applicable Component, phase or sub-Component thereof that is the subject of the Loan Commitment, a copy of the Loan Commitment and a proposed date of conveyance or assignment of the partnership interests in the Component Entity of the applicable Component, phase or sub-Component thereof. The MC Partners shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of a Loan Commitment or Loan Commitment Notice to elect, by written notice to Mills, to proceed with the conveyance of the land, or assignment of partnership interests, on the date specified in the Loan Commitment Notice and have the Office/Hotel Component Owner negotiate and execute the loan documents pursuant to the Loan Commitment. If the MC Partners provide a written notice of such election to proceed, then the conveyance or assignment of the partnership interests in the Component Entity of the particular Component, phase or sub-Component thereof shall occur on the date specified in the Loan Commitment Notice (but in no event shall such conveyance or assignment of partnership interests occur prior to the date of loan closing) and the Mack-Cali Partners shall negotiate and execute the loan documents pursuant to the Loan Commitment; provided, however, that if the loan fails to close through no fault of the MC Partners, the MC Partners shall have no obligation to acquire such Component, phase or sub-Component thereof or to proceed with conveyance or the assignment of the partnership interests in the Component Entity nor the commencement of development of the applicable Component, phase or sub-Component thereof as a result of the delivery of such Development Acceleration Notice by Mills. If the MC Partners fails to provide a written notice to proceed within such thirty (30) day period, then the provisions of Section 10.8 shall apply. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the MC Partners disagree with the Mills Partner as to whether the Loan Commitment meets the terms and conditions of this Section 10.3.1(b), the MC Partners shall provide written notice to the Mills Partner of such disagreement within the thirty (30) day period above and any Partner shall have the right to avail itself of the provisions of Section 15.15. If the resolution of the procedures under Section 15.15 results in a determination that the Loan Commitment meets the terms and conditions of this Section 10.3.1(b) and the Loan Commitment expires or the contemplated loan (or a loan on comparable terms and conditions is substituted by the MC Partners at no additional cost to the Partnership if the costs and expenses were paid in connection with the Loan Commitment) is no longer able to be obtained within a reasonable time after the resolution as aforesaid, then they will construct the applicable office building or hotel as provided herein or, if they fail to so construct as provided herein, then the provisions of Section 10.8 shall apply.

76


10.4     Office/Hotel Component Owner Obligated to Pay a Portion of Annual Payments.

10.4.1.1 Determination of Allocated Annual Payments. The Office/Hotel Component Owner shall only be obligated to pay the Allocated Annual Payments with respect to the Component, phase or sub-Component on which it has exercised an Office/Hotel Development Option.

  (a) Allocated Annual Payments. As used herein, the “Allocated Annual Payments” with respect to the Office/Hotel Component shall be equal to thirty two percent (32%) in the aggregate of (1) any rent (other than any percentage rent payable solely in connection with the Entertainment/Retail Component) or development rights fee(s) paid to date other than the Development Rights Fee in connection with the Ground Lease and/or a Component Lease, as applicable, (2) all PILOT Payments, (3) all bond debt service (principal and interest) or debt service on public or private financing to cover infrastructure costs of the type described on Exhibit D, Paragraph A.20, (4) all fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Partnership in connection with litigation (other than the Existing Litigation) relating to the Redevelopment Agreement or any related agreement (including assertions that the NJSEA did not possess the requisite authority to enter into the Redevelopment Agreement or such related documents), the PILOT Payments or any other litigation pertaining to all or any portion of the Project, and (5) one-half of all fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Partnership in connection with the Existing Litigation. “Annual Payments” shall mean the aggregate of the amounts set forth in subclauses (1) through (5) of the preceding sentence.

77


  (b) Sub-Allocation Percentages. Exhibit L attached hereto sets forth, in the column entitled “Percentage of Allocated Payments”, the portions of the Allocated Annual Payments (expressed as a percentage of the total Annual Payments) to be paid with respect to the ownership of each Component or phases thereof (such portions, the “Sub-Allocation Percentages”).

  (c) Sub-Allocated Annual Payments. Each Component, phase or sub-Component thereof shall be responsible for the amount determined by multiplying the applicable Sub-Allocation Percentage by the Annual Payments (the “Sub-Allocated Annual Payments”). Such responsibility shall commence on January 1, 2008 or such earlier date (the “Annual Payment Commencement Date”) if the conveyance or assignment of partnership interests occurs earlier.

  (d) Obligation to Pay Allocated Annual Payments. Once the Special General Partner has provided the Office/Hotel Development Notice and the Component, phase or sub-Component has been conveyed and/or the partnership interests in the Component Entity assigned, the Office/Hotel Component Owner shall be obligated to pay all Allocated Annual Payments that are thereafter due. If a Staged Development occurs, each Sub-Allocated Annual Payment shall be payable from and after the corresponding date of conveyance or assignment of partnership interests in the Component Entity.

10.5     Determination of Office/Hotel Value. The value (the “Office/Hotel Value”) of the portion of the Development Land upon which Phase III and Phase IV shall be developed (the “Office/Hotel Land”) shall be the aggregate of the value of the Hotel Land (as hereinafter defined) and the value of the Office Land (as hereinafter defined), determined utilizing the formula hereinafter set forth, plus the Sub-Allocated Prepaid Annual Payment (as hereinafter defined).

78


  10.5.1 Determination of Values of Office Land and Hotel Land. The value of the portion of the Office/Hotel Land upon which the Hotel Component shall be constructed (the “Hotel Land”) shall be determined by multiplying $17,500 per hotel room by the number of hotel rooms as set forth in the Office/Hotel Plans, and (ii) the value of the portion of the Office/Hotel Land upon which the Office Component shall be constructed (the “Office Land”) shall be determined by multiplying $30 per buildable square foot by the actual buildable square footage of the office buildings located on the Office Land. Beginning in 2011 and annually thereafter, such $17,500 and $30 amounts set forth in the preceding sentence shall be increased by the percentage increase, if any, for the CPI for November of the year (the “New Year”) prior to the current year as compared to the CPI for November of the year prior to the New Year. Such amounts shall not be decreased below the applicable amounts in effect immediately prior to a calculation of the change in CPI. If a Staged Development, the Office/Hotel Value as to each stage shall be separately determined.

  10.5.2 Sub-Allocated Prepaid Annual Payment. If the Annual Payment Commencement Date occurs prior to the date of conveyance or assignment of the partnership interests of a particular Component, phase or sub-Component thereof, or Component Entity, as applicable, then, upon the conveyance or such assignment, the Office/Hotel Value shall include a lump sum amount equal to the aggregate Sub-Allocated Annual Payments from and after the Annual Payment Commencement Date through the date immediately prior to the conveyance or assignment of the interests (such aggregate amount, the “Sub-Allocated Prepaid Annual Payment”). From and after the date of the conveyance, all future Sub-Allocated Annual Payments shall be payable as provided in Section 10.4.1.1(c).

10.6     Formation of Component Entity. Upon the request of the Special General Partner in connection with a Take Down of a Component, phase or sub-Component, the Managing General Partner shall cause the Partnership to form one or more Component Entities that shall own the Component Entity interests in the Office/Hotel Land (the “Office/Hotel Component Owner”) as provided in Section 10.1.1 and the Mills Partner and the Mack-Cali Partners (or one or more of their Affiliates) shall execute one or more limited partnership, agreements (each, the “Office/Hotel Component LP Agreement”) substantially in the form of this Agreement, modified as follows:

  10.6.1 The Office/Hotel Component LP Agreement(s) shall reflect that the property owned is the Office/Hotel Land or, if a Staged Development, it is the intention of the partners signatory thereto that the partnership or another partnership formed as contemplated herein shall eventually own the Office/Hotel Land but, initially, the only land owned is the First Development Component;

  10.6.2 The Office/Hotel Component Owners shall enter into a management agreement for the management of the Office Component pursuant to a management agreement substantially in the form of the Management Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit J, appropriately modified to reflect that the asset that is subject thereto is an office building and providing for fees payable to the manager thereunder (which shall be an Affiliate of the Mack-Cali Partners) as set forth on Exhibit O and, as to the Hotel Component, the Office/Hotel Component LP Agreement shall provide for an asset management fee and development management fee payable to the Mack-Cali Partners as set forth on Exhibit O;

79


  10.6.3 The initial capital contributed by each of the Mills Partner and the Mack-Cali Partners shall be the amounts determined as provided in Section 10.6.7 below, and the Mack-Cali Partners’ aggregate Percentage Interest and the Mills Partner’s Percentage Interest shall be eighty percent (80%) and twenty (20%), respectively as adjusted pursuant to Sections 10.6.6(a) and (b), provided that the Percentage Interest of Mills shall be increased by four (4) percentage points in connection with distributions consistent with the terms of Section 5.1.1 hereof until the Mills Partners Capital Contributions have been repaid after which the Partner’s Percentage Interests for the purposes of distributions will revert to a ratio of 80:20 consistent with the terms of Section 5.1.1 hereof;

  10.6.4 Each of the Mills Partner and the Mack-Cali Partners shall receive a return on their capital equal to nine percent (9%) per annum, compounded quarterly but not payable from capital contributions, with such return being paid on a pari passu basis in accordance with the amount of their respective Unreturned Capital Contributions Accounts thereunder and with the return of such capital to be paid in accordance with their Percentage Interests (as determined in a manner consistent with Section 5.1.1hereof);

  10.6.5 The Mack-Cali Partners shall be obligated to contribute all required Equity as set forth in the agreed-upon Development Budget under the Office/Hotel Component Owner until such time as the ratio (the “Capital Ratio”) of the Unreturned MC Partners Capital Contributions Account to the Unreturned Mills Capital Contributions Account is 80:20 and, thereafter, the Mack-Cali Partners and the Mills Partner shall be obligated to contribute eighty percent (80%) and twenty percent (20%) respectively, of all Required Equity, pari passu, under the Office/Hotel Component LP Agreement(s) to the Office/Hotel Component Owner(s) as provided in 10.6.6(e);

  10.6.6 If, as of the date of issuance of the certificate of occupancy for the core and shell of an Office Component or the date of opening for business of a Hotel Component, as applicable (such date, the “Capital Ratio Determination Date”), after capital accounts are established pursuant to Section 10.6.7 below and after taking into account all additional capital contributed by Mills and the Mack-Cali Partners as Required Equity, the Capital Ratio is not 80:20, then the following shall occur:

  (a) the Mack-Cali Partners shall contribute capital to the Office/Hotel Component Owner within thirty (30) days of the Capital Ratio Determination Date in an amount such that, after such contribution and the distribution described in this Section 10.6.6(a), the Capital Ratio shall be at least 70:30 but not more than 80:20 and, in such event, the Office/Hotel Component Owner shall make a distribution to Mills Partner as a return of Mills Partner’s capital in an amount equivalent to MC Partners’ capital contributions;

80


  (b) If, after the contribution of capital as described in Section 10.6.6(a) above, the Capital Ratio is less than 80:20 (but at least 70:30), then Mills may elect that either the action described in Section 10.6.6(b)(i) below occur or the action described in Section 10.6.6(b)(ii) below occur.

  (i) The Mills Partner’s Percentage Interest shall be increased, and the MC Partner Percentage Interest shall be decreased, so that their Percentage Interests are in proportion to the Capital Ratio, or

  (ii) The Mills Partner’s Percentage Interest and the MC Partners’ Percentage Interest shall not be adjusted and all Super-Priority Capital (as hereinafter defined) shall receive a preferred return equal to nine percent (9%) per annum, compounded quarterly, on, and a return of, such capital, prior to the return on or of any other capital under the Office/Hotel Component LP Agreement. In the alternative to receiving such a return on the Super-Priority Capital, Mills Partner may elect that a portion of the Mills Partner’s capital equal to the Super-Priority Capital be converted into a loan in the amount of the Super-Priority Capital, with interest thereon at nine percent (9%) per annum, compounded quarterly, which loan shall be repaid prior to any Partner Loans and any return of or on capital. As used herein the “Super-Priority Capital” shall mean the portion of Mills Partner’s capital that is in excess of the amount of capital necessary to result in the Capital Ratio being 80:20.

  (c) Thereafter, MC Partner and Mills Partner shall be obligated to contribute any additional Required Equity in the ratio of their respective Percentage Interests, as such Percentage Interests were adjusted as provided in Section 10.6.6(b)(i); and

  (d) Thereafter, each future Office/Hotel Component LP Agreement:

  (i) shall provide for the Percentage Interests of MC Partner and Mills Partner to be 80:20 as provided in Section 10.6.3; and

81


  (ii) shall provide that if, after the occurrence of the Capital Ratio Determination Date applicable to the Component or phases thereof, the ratio of the MC Partner Unreturned Capital Contributions Account to the Mills Partner Unreturned Capital Contributions Account is less than the ratio of the Partner’s Percentage Interests, then the MC Partners shall be obligated to contribute capital to the Component Owner, and the adjustment of Percentage Interests or allocation of a portion of Mills Partner’s capital to Super-Priority Capital shall occur in a substantially similar manner as described in Section 10.6.6(b);

  (e) After the Capital Ratio becomes 80:20 as aforesaid, then each of MC Partner and the Mills Partner shall be obligated to contribute Required Equity, pari passu, based on the ratio of their respective Percentage Interests;

  (f) The definition of “Required Equity” shall be amended to mean forty percent (40%) of the “Net Project Costs”, as contemplated in the applicable Development Budget.

  (g) The Mills Partner shall be a Special General Partner and receive rights to participate in Major Decisions as described in Paragraph D on Exhibit D hereto; and

  (h) If the Special General Partner exercises the Office/Hotel Drag-Along Right under the Office/Hotel Component LP Agreement, the Mills Partner shall continue to the have rights and obligations respecting the development and ownership of the remaining Office/Hotel Components as set forth in this Article 10.

  10.6.7 Establishment of Capital Accounts in Office/Hotel Component Owner and Adjustment of Capital Accounts of the Partners in the Partnership. The capital accounts of the Partners hereunder shall be adjusted, as follows:

10.6.7.1 Effective upon the consummation of the conveyance of the Office/Hotel Land or the assignment of the partnership interests of the Component Entity to the Office/Hotel Component Owner as provided in Section 10.6, a Major Capital Event shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to the Office/Hotel Land based on the Office/Hotel Value, with distributions being deemed to have been made to each of the Mills Partner and the MC Partners as if the Office/Hotel Land was theoretically sold for its Office/Hotel Value, and the deemed proceeds shall have been distributed to the Partners as follows: fifty percent (50%) of such proceeds shall be deemed to have been distributed to the Partners in the same order and priority as provided in Section 6.6 and fifty percent (50%) of such proceeds shall be deemed to have been distributed in reverse order and priority pursuant to Section 6.6 beginning with Section 6.6(vi). The amounts deemed distributed shall be treated as actual distributions of proceeds from a Major Capital Event in the above order. Upon such deemed distributions, such accounts shall be reduced to reflect the amounts of such deemed distributions.

82


10.6.7.2 Each of the Mills Partner and MC Partner shall be deemed to have contributed capital to the Office/Hotel Component Owner in the respective aggregate amount of deemed distributions made to each Partner as provided in Section 10.6.7.1 above to establish initial capital accounts in such Office/Hotel Component Owner.

10.6.7.3 If the Office/Hotel Component Owner fails to commence construction within ninety (90) days of the assignment of the partnership interests of the Component Entity or the conveyance of the Office/Hotel Land to the Office/Hotel Component Owner, as applicable, the MC Partners shall be obligated to contribute capital to the Office/Hotel Component Owner within such ninety (90) day period in an amount that, after such contribution and the distribution described in this Section 10.6.7.3, the Capital Ratio shall be 80:20 and, in such event, the Office/Hotel Component Owner shall make a distribution to Mills Partner as a return of Mills’ Capital in an amount equivalent to the Mack-Cali Partners’ contribution. If the MC Partners fail to contribute the capital (a “Office/Hotel Funding Default”) in accordance with the preceding sentence, then the Mills Partner may provide written notice to the MC Partners of such Office/Hotel Funding Default (a “Office/Hotel Funding Default Notice”). If the MC Partners shall fail to fund such Required Equity within ten (10) business days after the date of delivery of the Office/Hotel Funding Default Notice, then Mills shall designate a replacement managing general partner of the Office/Hotel Component Owner (which may include itself). Upon the occurrence of an Office/Hotel Funding Default and the MC Partners’ failure to cure such default, the respective percentage interests of the MC Partners and the Mills Partner in the Office/Hotel Component Owner shall be determined in accordance with their capital accounts in such Office/Hotel Component Owner as such capital accounts are determined as provided in Section 10.6.7.2 above. The Mills Partner, as replacement Managing General Partner of the Office/Hotel Component Owner may determine in its sole discretion whether to develop such Office/Hotel Component or sell such Office/Hotel Component, except that in the event of a sale the provisions of Section 10.7.2 shall not apply.

  10.6.8 After the occurrence of the matters and execution of the documents set forth in Sections 10.5 through 10.6.7.3 above, then the closing of the conveyance to the Office/Hotel Component Owner of the Component, phase or sub-Component, or assignment to the Office/Hotel Component Owner of partnership interests in the Component Entity that owns the applicable Component, phase or sub-Component thereof, as applicable, shall occur on a date not later than thirty (30) days after the date of conveyance or assignment, as applicable, as follows:

83

  11.3.1 Sale by Mills Partner. Mills Partner may not sell all or any portion of its or its Affiliates’ Partnership Interest at any time prior to the date that is three (3) years after the Grand Opening Date. If Mills elects to sell its or its Affiliates’ Partnership Interest to a non-Affiliate other than a sale pursuant to Section 11.2, then (i) Mills shall have the right (the “Drag-Along Right”) to require that Mack-Cali Partners sell the Mack-Cali Partners’ entire Partnership Interests to the purchaser of Mills’ or its Affiliate’s Partnership Interest, and (ii) if Mills does not exercise the Drag-Along Right, Mack-Cali Partners shall have the right (the “Tag-Along Right”) to sell their entire Partnership Interests to the purchaser of Mills’ or its Affiliates’ Partnership Interest. The sale of Mack-Cali Partners’ Partnership Interests pursuant to the exercise of the Drag-Along Right or the Tag-Along Right, as applicable, shall be on the same terms and conditions (including the occurrence of the closing concurrently with the closing of the sale of Mills Partner’s Partnership Interest); provided that, in no event, shall the proceeds received by Mack-Cali Partners for their Partnership Interests in connection with the Mills Partners’ exercise of the Drag-Along Right be less than an amount equal to the Unreturned MC Partner Capital Contributions Account plus the MC Return (the “MC Partner Floor”). Mills shall provide written notice to the Mack-Cali Partners of the proposed purchase and sale of Mills’ Partnership Interest at least sixty (60) days prior to the proposed closing date for such purchase and sale. Such written notice shall include a statement from Mills of whether or not Mills is exercising the Drag-Along Right. If Mills does not exercise the Drag-Along Right, the Mack-Cali Partners may exercise the Tag-Along Right by providing written notice to Mills within thirty (30) days prior to the proposed closing date. A failure of Mack-Cali Partners to send a notice exercising the Tag-Along Right prior to such 30th day shall be deemed an election not to exercise the Tag-Along Right. If the Drag-Along Right or Tag-Along Right is exercised, as applicable, Mack-Cali Partners shall be obligated to cooperate with Mills and the prospective purchaser of the Partnership Interests to accomplish the proposed transaction within the time period(s) set forth in the notice from Mills provided, however, that Mills shall not be responsible or liable to Mack-Cali Partners in any way if the closing fails to occur for any reason other than a default of Mills in its obligation to convey its Partnership Interests to such Purchaser. In connection with the closing of a sale pursuant to a Drag-Along Right or Tag-Along Right, the proceeds received by all Partners from the acquirer of the Partnership Interests shall be aggregated and then distributed to the Partners pursuant to Section 13.2.4, and if such proceeds are payable in connection with the Mills Partner’s exercise of its Drag-Along Right, the Mack-Cali Partners shall receive an amount equal to the greater of (y) the Floor Price, and (z) the amount that the Mack-Cali Partners shall receive after distributions are made pursuant to Section 13.2.4. If Mills exercises the Drag-Along Right or the Mack-Cali Partners exercise the Tag-Along Right, Mack-Cali Partners shall continue to the have the rights and obligations respecting the development and ownership of the Office/Hotel Component as set forth in Article 10 (except that the rights of the Mack-Cali Partners to require performance of any of the obligations of the Mills Partner, including any obligation to contribute capital, shall only be against the party that acquires Mills’ Partnership Interest). In no event shall Mills or the Mack-Cali Partners sell its entire Interest or its entire Affiliates’ Partnership Interest in the Partnership to more than a single purchaser or its Affiliates. If a Partner defaults in its obligation to convey Partnership Interests hereunder, then such Partner shall pay all non-defaulting partners’ costs and expenses in incurred in connection with such transaction and such defaulting Partner shall indemnify, defend and hold all non-defaulting Partners harmless from any and all costs, expenses, damages, claims or other amounts or matters arising out of such default.

Except as provided in Section 11.2, if the Mack-Cali Partners desires to sell all or any portion of their or their Affiliates’ Partnership Interest in the Partnership three (3) or more years after the Grand Opening Date in accordance with this Section 11.3.2, Mack-Cali Partners shall give written notice (the “First Offer Notice”) of such intention to the Mills. The First Offer Notice must set forth the price (the “Offer Price”) and terms upon which Mack-Cali Partners are willing to sell such Partnership Interest (the Partnership Interest subject to the First Offer Notice is hereinafter called the “Subject Interest”) subject to all liabilities of the Partnership as of that date.

In no event shall the Mack-Cali Partners sell their entire Interest or their entire Affiliates’ Partnership Interest in the Partnership to more than a single purchaser or its Affiliates.

At the closing, Mills shall deliver to the Mack-Cali Partners the Offer Price which is payable at closing in accordance with the terms of the First Offer Notice in cash (U.S. dollars) by wire transfer representing immediately available Federal System funds. Simultaneously with the receipt of such payment, Mack-Cali Partners shall deliver the Subject Interest to Mills free and clear of all liens, security interests and competing claims and shall deliver to Mills such instruments of transfer and such evidence of due authorization, execution and delivery and of the absence of any such liens, security interests or competing claims as Mills shall reasonably request.

  (b) If, by virtue of the election of Mills to purchase or upon Mills’ acquisition of, any Subject Interest in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.3, the holder of any loan to the Partnership has the right to accelerate the loan and prepayment premium and/or yield maintenance fees are payable as a result of such acceleration or any other fees or charges are payable under such loan in connection with such election to purchase by Mills (“Loan Transfer Fees”), or if any of the Mack-Cali Partners have personal liability under any loan to the Partnership (“Mack-Cali Recourse Liability”), then the First Offer Notice shall include a statement from the Mack-Cali Partners as to whether the Mack-Cali Partners or the Mills Partner shall be obligated to pay the Loan Transfer Fees and a statement as to whether the Mack-Cali Partners shall require that either (i) Mills shall replace such loan at closing, or (ii) the lender under such loan shall release the Mack-Cali Partners from such personal liability under such loan by a written instrument reasonably satisfactory to Mack-Cali Partners, or (iii) Mills and the Mack-Cali Partners shall execute an agreement in form reasonably acceptable to both Mack-Cali Partners and Mills, wherein Mills agrees to indemnify Mack-Cali Partners for all Mack-Cali Recourse Liability respecting the period from and after closing, at the closing of the sale of such Subject Interest (a statement from Mack-Cali Partners requiring that either (i), (ii) or (iii) occur is referred to herein as a “Recourse Release Demand”).

92

If the First Offer Notice includes a Recourse Release Demand, then it shall be a condition to closing that either (i), (ii) or (iii) described in Section 11.3.2.2(b) shall occur no later than the closing.

11.3.2.3     Sale to Third Party.

  (a) If Mills fails to exercise its respective rights to purchase the Subject Interest in its entirety, or if Mills exercises its rights to purchase but through no fault of Mack-Cali Partners subsequently fails to purchase the Subject Interest in its entirety within the time specified, then Mack-Cali Partners shall have the right, for six (6) months after the expiration of the First Offer Period, to sell such Subject Interest to any third party, (a “Purchaser”) for a price and on terms and conditions substantially consistent with the terms set forth in the First Offer Notice pursuant to Section 11.3.2 and which do not vary by more than five percent (5%) from the economic terms thereof. If Mills fails to purchase the Mack-Cali Partners’ Subject Interest in breach of a commitment by Mills to do so Mack-Cali Partners shall have, as their sole remedy, the right to retain the First Offer Deposit as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, and in addition thereto to obtain a binding contract with a third party for the sale of the Subject Interest.

  (c) If reasonably required by Mills, the Purchaser delivers an opinion of counsel to the Partnership, which counsel and opinion are satisfactory to Mills, that an exemption from registration or qualification under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under all applicable statutes, rules or laws of any state which may be applicable to such transfer is available.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, within thirty (30) days of the date of the Put/Call Notice, the Partners may agree upon a Call Price for the Call of the Partnership Interest of the Mack-Cali Partners.

  (c) The “Put Price” for the Put of the Partnership Interest of Mack-Cali Partners shall be the amount equal to (1) the lesser of (i) the amount to be distributed to the Mack-Cali Partners Section 11.6.1(l) if the Entertainment/Retail Component were sold for the Appraised Value (as determined in accordance with this Section 11.6.1) or (ii) the Unreturned MC Partner Capital Contributions Account, plus the accrued and unpaid MC Return, or (2) if the Put/Call Notice is delivered after the date that is eight (8) years following the Grand Opening Date, the amount to be distributed to the Mack-Cali Partners Section 11.6.1(l) if the Entertainment/Retail Component were sold for the Appraised Value (as determined in accordance with this Section 11.6.1). Notwithstanding the foregoing, within thirty (30) days of the date of the Put/Call Notice, the Partners may agree upon a Put Price for the Put of the Partnership Interest of the Mack-Cali Partners.

  (d) If the Partners cannot agree on the Call Price or the Put Price, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days of the date of the Put/Call Notice, each of Mills and the Special General Partner, on behalf of the Mack-Cali Partners, shall (i) select an Appraiser to determine the fair market value of the portions of the Project owned by the Partnership and all other Partnership assets (the “Appraised Value”), and (ii) provide written notice to the other of the Appraiser that it has selected (the Appraiser selected by the Mills being referred to herein as the “Mills Appraiser” and the Appraiser selected by the Special General Partner, on behalf of the Mack-Cali Partners being referred to herein as the “Mack-Cali Partners Appraiser”). The Appraised Value shall include a separate valuation of any rights of the Partnership to receive TIF Proceeds.

96


  (e) Within sixty (60) days of the date of the Put/Call Notice, each of the Mills Appraiser and the Mack-Cali Partners Appraiser shall submit its written appraisal (each, an “Initial Appraisal” and collectively, the “Initial Appraisals”) of the fair market value of the portions of the Project owned by the Partnership and all other Partnership assets to Mills and the Mack-Cali Partners.

  (f) If both of the Initial Appraisals specify the same fair market value of the portions of the Project owned by the Partnership, then the Appraised Value shall mean the fair market value specified in the Initial Appraisals. If the fair market values of the portions of the Project owned by the Partnership specified in the Initial Appraisals differ by $2,500,000 (or $1,000,000, if the Partnership no longer directly or indirectly owns the Entertainment/Retail Component) or less, then the Appraised Value shall be an amount determined by adding the fair market values specified in both Initial Appraisals and dividing such sum by two (2).

  (g) If the fair market values of the Project specified in the Initial Appraisals differ by greater than $2,500,000 (or $1,000,000, if the Partnership no longer directly or indirectly owns the Entertainment/Retail Component), then, within seventy-five (75) days of the date of the Put/Call Notice, each of the Mills Appraiser and the Mack-Cali Partners Appraiser jointly shall select a third Appraiser (the “Neutral Appraiser”) not affiliated in any way with either of the Mills Appraiser of the Mack-Cali Partners Appraiser. Within one hundred five (105) days of the date of the Put/Call Notice, the Neutral Appraiser shall submit its written appraisal (the “Neutral Appraisal”; the Initial Appraisals and the Neutral Appraisal are collectively referred to herein as the “Appraisals”) of the fair market value of the Project to Mills and Mack-Cali Partners.

  (h) After the Neutral Appraiser’s submission of the Neutral Appraisal, the Appraised Value shall be determined by the average of the two (2) Appraisals which are closest to each other in dollar amount, such average to be determined by adding the fair market values of the Project specified in each Appraisal and dividing such sum by two (2).

  (i) Upon receipt of the Neutral Appraisal and the calculation of the Appraised Value in accordance with Section 11.6.1(h) hereof, Mack-Cali Partners shall be obligated to sell all of Mack-Cali Partners’ right, title and interest in and to its Partnership Interest, and Mills shall be obligated to acquire all of Mack-Cali Partners’ right, title and interest in and to Mack-Cali Partners’ Partnership Interest, at the Put Price or the Call Price computed as set forth in this Section 11.6.1.

  (j) If the holder of any loan to the Partnership under which the Mack-Cali Partners have personal liability, has the right to, and notifies the Partnership of its intent to, accelerate such loan, it shall be a condition to the closing in connection with a Call that the Mills Partner repay such loan (plus any deferred and accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any prepayment premium and/or yield maintenance fees) at the closing, or have the Mack-Cali Partners released from liability for payment of the loan by a written instrument reasonably satisfactory to the Mack-Cali Partners, or the Mills Partner agrees to indemnify the Mack-Cali Partners and its Affiliates and hold each of them harmless from and against any damage, loss or liability to any of them as a result of the failure to obtain a release or repay the loan.

97


  (k) The delivery of a Put/Call Notice shall create a binding contract for the purchase and sale of Mack-Cali Partners’ Partnership Interests on the terms set forth in this Section 11.6. If a Partner shall thereafter be in breach of its obligation to close the purchase and sale in accordance with such election, such Partner shall be in default hereunder and shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of the non-breaching Partner and, from and after the occurrence of such breach, shall have no further rights to approve Major Decisions hereunder. In addition to all other rights and remedies herein provided in connection with such a default, the non-defaulting Partner shall have all remedies at law or in equity.

  (l) Effective upon the consummation of the acquisition by the Mills Partner of the Mack-Cali Partners ‘Partnership Interest as provided in this Section 11.6, a Major Capital Event shall be deemed to have occurred under this Agreement with respect to the Mack-Cali Partners’ Partnership Interest based on a deemed sale at the Appraised Value (as determined in accordance with this Section 11.6.1), as the case may be, with distributions being deemed to have been made to the Mack-Cali Partners as provided in Section 13.2.4 as if the portion of the Project owned by the Partnership and all other Partnership assets were theoretically sold for their fair market value or such value as otherwise determined in accordance with this Section 11.6, with the resulting effect that the Mack-Cali Partners shall be deemed to have received such amounts as would be distributed to the Mack-Cali Partners under Section 13.2.4 of this Agreement if the portion of the Project owned by the Partnership and all other Partnership assets were sold for cash in the amount of their fair market value or such value as otherwise determined in accordance with Section 13.2.4. Upon such deemed distributions, the applicable accounts described in Section 6.6 of this Agreement shall be reduced as appropriate to reflect the amounts of such deemed distributions.

98


  (m) Upon the acquisition of the Mack-Cali Partners Partnership Interest by Mills, the Percentage Interest shall be allocated entirely to Mills’ limited partnership interest hereunder.

  (n) Mack-Cali Partners shall retain all rights set forth in this Agreement to develop the Office/Hotel Components on the same terms and conditions as contained in this Agreement and, if executed, the Office/Hotel Component LP Agreement.

11.6.2     Closing.

  (a) The transfer of the Partnership Interest that is to be conveyed under this Section 11.6 shall be closed and consummated in the principal office of the Partnership at 11:00 a.m., local time, on the thirtieth (30th) day following the date that the Call Price or the Put Price is determined (or if such date is not a business day, the business day next following such day) or on such earlier date as may be selected by the acquiring Partner(s). At the closing, Mills shall deliver to the Mack-Cali Partners the Put Price or the Call Price, as applicable, which is payable at closing in accordance with the terms of the Put/Call Notice in cash (U.S. dollars) by wire transfer representing immediately available Federal System funds. Simultaneously with the receipt of such payment, Mack-Cali Partners shall deliver (i) the Partnership Interest, and (ii) any Partner Loans held by Mack-Cali Partners or any Affiliate thereof, to Mills free and clear of all liens, security interests and competing claims and shall deliver to Mills such instruments of transfer and such evidence of due authorization, execution and delivery and of the absence of any such liens, security interests or competing claims as Mills shall reasonably request. If applicable, the Put Price or the Call Price, as the case may be, shall be reduced by any amounts owed by Mack-Cali Partners pursuant to any other provision hereof and such amounts shall be paid to the remaining Partners. Each of Mills and Mack-Cali Partners shall be responsible and pay for the fees and expenses of its counsel and advisors.

Furthermore, the Partners agree that in the event (a) neither TMLP nor any of its Affiliates continues to be a Partner of Mills, or (b) the Entertainment/Retail Component (or all or substantially all of the interests therein) is sold or transferred to a third party, then, subject to any necessary third-party consents (which the Partners agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain), either the Partnership (in the case of (a) above), or such third-party transferee (in the case of (b) above), shall be permitted to use the Mark in connection with the Entertainment/Retail Component and such third party’s or the Partnership’s ownership and operation of the Entertainment/Retail Component provided that, concurrently with the occurrence of the events described in subclauses (a) and/or (b) of this sentence, the Partnership or such third-party transferee, as applicable, as licensee, and Mills or its Affiliate, as licensor, enter into a license agreement evidencing such rights to use the Mark as provided herein.

It is understood and agreed that “commercially reasonable efforts” shall not require the expenditure of funds or the institution of legal action by any of the Partners or their Affiliates. Until such time as any necessary third-party consents are obtained, the owner of the Entertainment/Retail Component may continue using the Mark in connection with the Project and the Partnership pending receipt of such third-party consents; provided, however, that the Entertainment/Retail Component owner shall covenant and agree to operate the Project substantially in accordance with past practices in order to assure that the Mark is not used for a shopping center that is of a materially lesser quality than that of the Entertainment/Retail Component immediately prior to the events described in subclause (a) and/or (b) of the first sentence of this Section 12.2.

It is understood and agreed that “commercially reasonable efforts” shall not require the expenditure of funds or the institution of legal action by any of the Partners or their Affiliates. Until such time as any necessary third-party consents are obtained, the owner of the portion of the Office/Hotel Component that is subject to the sale may continue using the Mark in connection with the Office/Hotel Component and the Office/Hotel Component Owner pending receipt of such third-party consents; provided, however, that the owner of the portion of the Office/Hotel Component that is subject to the sale shall covenant and agree to operate such portion of the Office/Hotel Component substantially in accordance with past practices in order to assure that the Mark is not used for an office building or hotel, as applicable, that is of a materially lesser quality than that of the portion of the Office/Hotel Component that is subject to the sale immediately prior to the events described in subclause (a) and/or (b) of the first sentence of this Section 12.4.

100


12.5     No Use of Related Mark. Neither the Mack-Cali Partners, their Affiliates nor any owner or user of the Project shall be permitted to use the word “Xanadu” in any manner except as provided in Sections 12.2, 12.3 and 12.4 above.

ARTICLE 13

DISSOLUTION

13.1     Dissolution and Termination; Continuation of Business.

  13.1.1 Causes of Dissolution and Termination. Except as set forth in this Article 13 and Article 11, no Partner shall have the right and each Partner hereby agrees not to withdraw from the Partnership, nor to dissolve, terminate or liquidate, or to petition a court for the dissolution, termination or liquidation of the Partnership, except as provided in this Agreement, and no Partner at any time shall have the right to petition or to take any action to subject the Partnership’s assets or any part thereof including the Project, or any part thereof, to the authority of any court of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceedings. The Partnership shall be dissolved and terminated only upon the earlier occurrence of any of the following dates or events:

  (a) a dissolution of the Partnership is Approved by the Partners;

  (b) the sale or other disposition (exclusive of an exchange for other real property or the granting of a lien or security interest in the Project) by the Partnership of all or substantially all of the Project and other assets of the Partnership;

  (c) the Bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation of a Partner;

  (d) the occurrence of any event that, under the Delaware LP Act, would cause the dissolution of the Partnership or that would make it unlawful for the business of the Partnership to be continued; or

  (e) the occurrence of an Early Termination Event.

  13.1.2 Right to Continue Business of the Partnership. Upon an event described in Section 13.1.l(d), the Partnership thereafter shall be dissolved and liquidated unless, within ninety (90) days after the event described, in such Sections, an election to continue the business of the Partnership shall be made in writing by all of the remaining Partners who are not in Bankruptcy. If such an election to continue the Partnership is made, then the Partnership shall continue until another event causing dissolution in accordance with this Article 13 shall occur.

13.2     Procedure in Dissolution and Liquidation.

  13.2.1 Winding Up. Upon dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof, the Partnership shall immediately commence to wind up its affairs and the Partners shall proceed with reasonable promptness to liquidate the business of the Partnership and (at least to the extent necessary to pay any debts and liabilities of the Partnership) to convert the Partnership’s assets into cash. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the business and assets of the Partnership in order to reduce any risk of loss that might otherwise be attendant upon such a liquidation.

102


  13.2.2 Management Rights During Winding Up. During the period of the winding up of the affairs of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner shall manage the Partnership and shall make with due diligence and in good faith all decisions relating to the conduct of any business or operations during the winding up period and to the sale or other disposition of Partnership assets. Each Partner hereby waives any claims it may have against the others that may arise out of the management of the Partnership by the others, pursuant to this Section 13.2.2, so long as such other Partners and their representatives act in good faith.

  13.2.3 Work in Progress. If the Partnership is dissolved for any reason while there is development or construction work in progress, winding up of the affairs and termination of the business of the Partnership may include completion of the work in progress to the extent the Managing General Partner may determine same to be necessary or advisable to permit a sale or other disposition of the Project which is most beneficial to the Partners.

  13.2.4 Distributions in Liquidation. The assets of the Partnership shall be applied or distributed in liquidation in the following manner and in the following order of priority:

  (a) First, in payment of debts and obligations of the Partnership owed to third parties, and to the expenses of liquidation in the order of priority as provided by law; then

  (b) Second, to the setting up of any reserves for a period of up to twelve (12) months which the Managing General Partner may deem necessary in the exercise of its reasonable discretion for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership; then

  (c) Third, as provided in Sections 6.6, 6.7 (including Section 6.7.2), 6.8 and 6.10.

If amounts reserved under Section 13.2.4.(b) are no longer necessary after the later to occur of resolution of the matters for which such amounts were reserved and such twelve (12) month period referenced therein and such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Partners under Section 6.5 or Section 6.6 or Section 6.7, then the Managing General Partner shall disburse such amounts to the Partners in accordance with Sections 6.6 and 6.7.

Losses or deductions attributable to the expenditure of funds held under the reserve in Section 13.2.4, shall be allocated to each Partner to the extent such expenditure will reduce the amount of cash eventually distributed to each Partner.

  13.2.5 Non-Cash Assets. Every reasonable effort shall be made to dispose of the assets of the Partnership so that the distribution may be made to the Partners in cash. Any Partner or the Affiliate(s) of any Partner may submit a bid or offer for all or any part of such assets. If at the time of the termination of the Partnership, the Partnership owns any assets in the form of work in progress, notes, deeds to secure debt or other non-cash assets, such assets, if any, shall be distributed in kind to the Partners, in lieu of cash, proportionately to their right to receive the assets of the Partnership on an equitable basis reflecting the fair market value of the assets so distributed. In the alternative, the Mills Partner(s) may cause the Partnership to distribute some or all of its non-cash assets to the Partners as tenants-in-common subject to such terms, covenants and conditions as the Mills Partner(s) may adopt.

103


13.3     Disposition of Documents and Records. All Documents of the Partnership shall be retained upon termination of the Partnership for a period of not less than seven (7) years by the Managing General Partner. The costs and expenses of personnel and storage costs associated therewith shall be shared by the Partners in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests. The Documents shall be available during normal business hours to all Partners for inspection and copying at such Partner’s cost and expense. If any Partner for any reason ceases as provided herein to be a Partner at any time prior to termination of the Partnership (“Non-Surviving Partner”), and the Partnership is continued without the Non-Surviving Partner, the other Partners (“Surviving Partners”) agree that the Documents of the Partnership up to the date of the termination of the Non-Surviving Partner’s interest shall be maintained by the Surviving Partners, their successors and assigns, for a period of not less than seven (7) years thereafter; provided, however, that if there is an Internal Revenue Service examination or audit, or notice thereof, which requires access to the Documents, the Documents shall be retained until the examination or audit is completed and any tax liability finally determined, and provided further, the Non-Surviving Partner shall reimburse the Surviving Partners for one-half of personnel and storage costs associated herewith. The Documents shall be available for inspection, examination and copying by the Non-Surviving Partner or its representatives upon reasonable notice in the same manner as herein provided during said seven (7) year period.

13.4     Date of Termination. The Partnership shall be terminated when its cash and other assets have been applied and distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2.4. The establishment of any reserves in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2.4 shall not have the effect of extending the Termination Date of the Partnership, but any unexpended reserve amount shall be distributed in the order and priority provided in such Section upon expiration of the period of such reserves.
