the Total Working Capital Value set forth in the Statement, as

parties hereto on the earlier of (i) the date Purchaser and CPI
resolve, in writing, any differences they may have with respect to
any matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement or (ii) the date

increased by an amount equal to (i) the Total Working Capital Value
(reduced by any amount paid pursuant to the proviso below) divided
by (ii) the Purchase Price, and CPI shall deliver to the Purchaser a
certificate, registered in the name of the Purchaser (or such other
name as may be designated by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.2)
representing such number of Shares (and, in connection therewith,
CRC agrees to deliver to the Purchaser a number of CRC Shares equal
to 10% of such number of Shares, which CRC Shares the Purchaser and
CRC agree shall be issued directly to the trustee of the CRC Trust
and deposited in the CRC Trust to be held thereafter for the ratable

CRC Trust Agreement); provided, however, that the Purchaser may

Working Capital Value in cash in lieu of all or any portion of the
Shares otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Section 2.3.3(a), or

of Shares (and, in connection therewith, CPI and CRC shall cause a

setting forth in comparative form the corresponding figures for the
corresponding period of the preceding fiscal year.
SECTION 4.1.4. Until a class of CPI's equity securities has been
registered under Section 12 of the 1934 Act or CPI has become obligated to
file reports under Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act, CPI shall promptly
furnish to the Purchaser or any transferee of the Shares such other
information with respect to the finances, business, operations, affairs,
prospects, condition, properties and assets of CPI and CRC as from time to
time may be reasonably requested by the Purchaser or such transferee, it
being understood that CPI shall determine whether or not any such request
is reasonable, giving effect to all relevant circumstances.
SECTION 4.1.5. CPI will provide prior notice to the Purchaser of any
change in the business of CPI or of any other event (including any
issuance of securities of CPI, any acquisition or disposition or other
material corporate event) which CPI, based upon its knowledge of
Purchaser, believes would adversely affect the status under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") of the
Purchaser's continued ownership of the Shares.
SECTION 4.1.6. From and after the Closing Date, CPI agrees (a) to
consider the effects of any material acquisition of property, any material
disposition of property or any material corporate reorganization upon
CPI's status as a "real estate operating company" (a "REOC"), as defined
in regulation 2910.3-101 of the United States Department of Labor
promulgated under ERISA, prior to entering into any such transaction, (b)
promptly to notify the Purchaser if CPI intends to consummate any such
transaction that CPI reasonably believes would create a substantial risk
that CPI no longer would qualify as a XXXX,
00
00
(c) within 45 days after the end of any fiscal quarter of CPI with respect
to which CPI reasonably believes that all or any portion of its dividends
payable to Purchaser during such fiscal quarter would be treated as
unrelated business taxable income pursuant to Section 856(h)(3)(C) of the
Code, CPI shall deliver to the Purchaser a certificate of the Chief
Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, Treasurer or Controller of
CPI setting forth such officer's reasonable estimate as to the amount of
any such income and (d) to deliver to the Purchaser a copy of the annual
opinion of counsel rendered to CPI with regard to CPI's status as a REOC
promptly upon receipt thereof and to cause any such opinion expressly to
permit the Purchaser's reliance thereon.
SECTION 4.1.7. Within 90 days after the Braintree Completion Date,
CPI shall prepare and deliver to the Purchaser a written statement (the
"Braintree Statement") setting forth the aggregate actual costs of the
Braintree Expansion (the "Braintree Expansion Costs"). From the Braintree
Completion Date through the date that is 30 days after the delivery of the
Braintree Statement, CPI shall provide the Purchaser (and its
representatives) with reasonable access to any books, records, working
papers or other information reasonably necessary or useful in the
preparation of the Braintree Statement. The Braintree Statement shall
become final and binding upon the parties hereto on the 31st day following
delivery thereof to the Purchaser unless the Purchaser delivers written
notice of disagreement (a "Braintree Notice of Disagreement") with the
Braintree Statement to CPI prior to such date. Any Notice of Disagreement
shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so
asserted and shall relate solely to the preparation of the Braintree
Statement and the calculation of the Braintree Expansion Costs. If a
Braintree Notice of Disagreement is received by CPI in a timely manner
pursuant to this Section 4.1.7, then the Braintree Expansion Costs set
forth in the Braintree Statement, as adjusted pursuant hereto, shall
become final and binding upon the parties hereto on the earlier of (a) the
date the Purchaser and CPI resolve, in writing, any differences they may
have with respect to any matters specified in the Braintree Notice of
19
19
Disagreement and (b) the date any disputed matters are finally resolved in
writing by an arbitrator who shall be selected and compensated in the same
manner as described in Section 2.3.2 hereof; provided, however, that if
any audit by the Purchaser or an arbitrator pursuant to this Section 4.1.7
results in a final determination that the Braintree Expansion Costs were
less than 95% of the costs initially asserted by CPI in the Braintree
Statement, then CPI shall bear 100% of the costs of any such audit or
arbitration.
SECTION 4.1.8. Upon final determination of the Braintree Expansion
Costs in accordance with Section 4.1.7 hereof, CPI promptly shall
reimburse the Purchaser in cash for 70% of the amount, if any, by which
(a) the excess, if any, of $166,077,257 over the Braintree Expansion Costs
exceeds (b) $3,750,000.
SECTION 5. Transfer and Registration.
SECTION 5.1. Investment Statements. The Purchaser hereby represents and
warrants to CPI that (1) the Purchaser will purchase the Shares to be purchased
by it hereunder for investment and not with a view to their public sale or
distribution, nor with any present intention of selling or distributing any such
Shares or beneficial interests in CRC Shares, (2) the Purchaser will purchase
such Shares (a) for its own account (including any separate accounts maintained
by the Purchaser) or (b) for the account of one or more pension or trust funds
of which it either acts as sole trustee (or in any other fiduciary capacity)
with sole investment discretion or otherwise has the authority to make the
representations contained in this Section 5.1; and that in each case such Shares
(and any CRC Shares delivered to the Purchaser upon a termination of the CRC
Trust) will be acquired by it or such funds for the purpose of investment and
not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the public distribution
thereof, nor with any present intention of publicly distributing the same (other
than in accordance with the registration provisions hereof) and (3) the
Purchaser has conducted its own due diligence investigation with respect to the
business and operations of CPI and CRC.
The Purchaser further represents and warrants to CPI (i) that the
Purchaser understands that such Shares
20
20
(and any CRC Shares delivered to the Purchaser upon a termination of the CRC
Trust) have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of their
issuance in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, (ii) that such Shares (and any
CRC Shares delivered to the Purchaser upon a termination of the CRC Trust) will
not be disposed of unless such disposition is either registered under the
Securities Act or is exempt from registration under that Act and (iii) that CPI
has no obligation to register such Shares (or CRC Shares so delivered to the
Purchaser) other than as set forth herein.
The Purchaser also understands and agrees that, if any CRC Shares shall be
delivered to the Purchaser upon a termination of the CRC Trust, the Purchaser
shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Article
FOURTH of CRC's Certificate of Incorporation (a copy of which has been delivered
to the Purchaser) restricting transfers of, and providing rights to
registrations under the Securities Act of, any such CRC Shares. Each certificate
for CRC Shares so delivered will bear the legend prescribed by said Article
FOURTH.
SECTION 5.2. Permissible Transfers. Except in accordance with this Section
5, the Purchaser shall not effect any Transfer of Restricted Shares (both as
hereinafter defined) or of any interest or right to purchase the same other
than:
(a) a Transfer from the Purchaser to another person or persons
acting as nominee or nominees or trustee or trustees for the Purchaser or,
if the Purchaser is acting as nominee or trustee in making the purchases
hereunder, to a different nominee or trustee for the same person as the
Purchaser is so acting;
(b) a Transfer to the Purchaser from one or more other person or
persons acting as nominee or nominees or trustee or trustees for the
Purchaser;
(c) a Transfer by the Purchaser, if it is a trustee for a pension or
trust fund, in connection with the dissolution of such fund or in
connection with the Transfer or distribution of all or part of the assets
of such fund to another pension or trust fund for which the Purchaser or
another corporate trustee is acting as trustee; or
21
21
(d) a Transfer by a pension or trust fund to another pension or
trust fund the investment discretion for which is exercised by the same
trustee or other fiduciary or director.
In the event that the Purchaser shall Transfer any Restricted Shares in a manner
contemplated by this Section 5.2, the Purchaser shall cause its transferee or
transferees to agree in writing to take and hold such securities subject to the
provisions of this Section 5.
SECTION 5.3. Certain Definitions. As used in this Section 5 (and elsewhere
herein with reference to this Section 5), the following terms shall have the
following respective meanings:
"Transfer" means, as to any Restricted Shares, any sale, assignment or
transfer of any of such Restricted Shares or of any interest therein or right to
subscribe therefor, whether or not such transfer would constitute a "sale" as
that term is defined in Section 2(3) of the Securities Act.
"Restricted Shares" means the Shares and any other securities issued as a
dividend or other distribution on or as a result of a subdivision, combination
or reclassification of any Shares, in each case, prior to the effective
registration of the Transfer thereof under the Securities Act.
"Registration Expenses" means the expenses so described in Section 5.8.
"Selling Expenses" means the expenses so described in Section 5.8.
"Underwriter" means each person who is or may be deemed to be an
"underwriter", as that term is defined in Section 2(11) of the Securities Act,
in respect of Restricted Shares which shall have been registered by CPI under
the Securities Act pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 5.
"CPI Counsel" means Cravath, Swaine & Xxxxx, or such other counsel as
shall at the time be serving as counsel to CPI.
22
22
"Holder's Counsel" shall mean counsel for the holder of the Restricted
Shares in question, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to CPI.
SECTION 5.4. Transfer Legends. Each certificate for Restricted Shares,
including each certificate issued to any transferee, shall be stamped or
otherwise imprinted with a legend (in addition to any legends otherwise required
by the Declaration of Trust of CPI) in substantially the following form (unless
otherwise permitted by the provisions of Section 5.5 or unless such Restricted
Shares shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act and sold
or otherwise disposed of pursuant to the registration statement covering such
Restricted Shares):
"The shares represented by this certificate were issued pursuant to a Purchase
and Exchange Agreement dated as of November 15, 1996, between Corporate Property
Investors and the original purchaser of such shares (copies of which Agreement
are on file at the principal office of the issuer of such shares), have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be sold, assigned or
transferred until the applicable provisions of Section 5 of such Agreement have
been complied with."
SECTION 5.5. Notice of Proposed Transfers; Requests for Registration. The
holder of any Restricted Shares by acceptance thereof agrees, prior to any
Transfer of any such Restricted Shares (other than a Transfer referred to in
paragraphs (a) to (d), inclusive, of Section 5.2), to give written notice to CPI
of such holder's intention to effect such Transfer and to comply in all other
respects with the provisions of this Section 5.5. Each notice shall describe in
detail the manner, method of disposition and circumstances of the proposed
Transfer and shall be accompanied by (i) a written opinion of Holder's Counsel
addressed to CPI stating whether in the opinion of such counsel such proposed
Transfer involves a transaction requiring registration of the Restricted Shares
under the Securities Act, and (ii) if in the opinion of such counsel
registration is required, a written request that CPI effect the registration of
such Restricted Shares under the Securities Act, subject to the limitations
contained in Section 5.10. Upon receipt by CPI of any such notice, opinion and,
if necessary, request, the following provisions shall apply:
23
23
(a) Not more than 20 calendar days after such receipt, CPI Counsel
shall render an opinion to CPI as to whether such counsel concurs in the
opinion of Holder's Counsel. CPI Counsel shall furnish copies of such
opinion to CPI, Holder's Counsel and the shareholder giving such notice.
If CPI Counsel shall not render such opinion within such 20 calendar days,
its opinion shall be deemed to concur with the opinion of Holder's
Counsel.
(b) If in the opinion of Holder's Counsel and CPI Counsel the
proposed Transfer of Restricted Shares may be effected without
registration under the Securities Act, the shareholder shall thereupon be
entitled to transfer such Restricted Shares in accordance with the terms
of the notice delivered to CPI; provided, however, that the transferee of
such Restricted Shares shall agree in writing to take and hold such
securities subject to the applicable provisions of this Section 5. Each
certificate evidencing the Restricted Shares issued upon the Transfer (and
each certificate evidencing any untransferred balance of the original
Restricted Shares) shall bear the legend set forth in Section 5.4 unless
in the opinion of CPI Counsel such legend is not necessary.
(c) If in the opinion of both Holder's Counsel and CPI Counsel the
proposed Transfer of the Restricted Shares may not be effected without
registration under the Securities Act, CPI shall use its best efforts to
effect such registration, all in accordance with the request of the
prospective seller and the provisions and conditions of this Section 5.
Upon the effectiveness of such registration the Restricted Shares may be
transferred to the extent permitted by law and the legend thereon shall be
removed promptly upon delivery of certificates therefor to CPI.
(d) If in the opinion of Holder's Counsel the proposed Transfer of
Restricted Shares may be effected without registration under the
Securities Act, but CPI Counsel shall not concur in such opinion, Holder's
Counsel at their option may submit the question to the staff of the
Commission for an advisory opinion and, in the event that the
24
24
staff of the Commission shall issue a "no action" letter or other
favorable advisory opinion which, in the view of CPI Counsel, shall be
conclusive with respect to the proposed Transfer, the shareholder shall be
entitled to transfer the Restricted Shares covered by such "no action"
letter or other favorable advisory opinion on the basis and in accordance
with the terms thereof; provided, however, that the transferee of such
Restricted Shares shall agree in writing to take and hold such securities
subject to the provisions of this Section 5.
The holder of Restricted Shares giving the notice under this Section 5.5
shall not Transfer such Restricted Shares unless and until (i) the favorable
opinions of Holder's Counsel and CPI Counsel referred to in paragraph (b) shall
have been given, (ii) registration of such Restricted Shares under the
Securities Act shall have become effective or (iii) the "no action" letter or
other favorable advisory opinion referred to in paragraph (d) shall have been
received and reviewed by CPI Counsel and, in addition, in the case of (i) and
(iii), the written agreement referred to in paragraphs (b) and (d),
respectively, shall have been made. Nothing contained in this Section 5 shall
preclude a holder of Restricted Shares from entering into an agreement to
Transfer the same if such agreement requires compliance with the conditions set
forth in this Section 5.5.
Section 5.6. Required Registration. Whenever CPI shall be required
pursuant to Section 5.5 to effect the registration of any Restricted Shares
under the Securities Act, CPI shall promptly give written notice of such
proposed registration to all holders of outstanding Restricted Shares and,
subject to the provisions of Section 5.10, shall use its best efforts to effect
the registration under the Securities Act of the Restricted Shares which CPI has
been requested to register pursuant to Section 5.5 and all other Restricted
Shares the holders of which shall have made written requests (stating the
proposed method of disposition of such securities by the prospective seller) to
CPI for the registration thereof within 20 calendar days after the mailing of
such written notice by CPI.
Section 5.7. Incidental Registration. If CPI shall propose to register any
Common Shares or other
25
25
securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares
(otherwise than pursuant to Section 5.6) on Form X-0, Xxxx X-0, Form S-3, Form
S-11 or any similar form then in effect, it shall give written notice to all
holders of outstanding Restricted Shares of its intention and, upon the written
request of the holder of any such Restricted Shares given within 20 calendar
days after the mailing of such notice (which request shall state the proposed
method of disposition of such Restricted Shares), CPI shall use its best efforts
to cause all Restricted Shares the holders of which have requested registration
to be included under the proposed registration for disposition in accordance
with the proposed method thereof stated in the respective shareholder's request;
provided, however, that CPI may, in lieu of including any of or all such
Restricted Shares under the proposed registration, elect to effect a separate
registration thereof if its proposed registration relates to an underwritten
public offering and the Underwriters thereof object to the inclusion of any of
or all such Restricted Shares under such registration. In the event CPI shall
elect to effect a separate registration in accordance with the provisions of the
preceding sentence, CPI shall use its best efforts to cause such separate
registration to become effective not later than 90 days after the effectiveness
of its originally proposed registration. If CPI determines, prior to the
effectiveness of its originally proposed registration, not to proceed with such
registration, CPI shall have no further obligation under this Section 5.7 to
register any Restricted Shares.
SECTION 5.8. Registration Procedures and Expenses. If and whenever CPI is
required by the provisions of this Section 5 to use its best efforts to effect
the registration of any Restricted Shares under the Securities Act, CPI shall,
as expeditiously as possible,
(a) select underwriters, counsel and independent accountants for CPI
of recognized standing and competence in connection with such
registration;
(b) prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) with the
Commission a registration statement with respect to such Restricted Shares
and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become
effective;
26
26
(c) prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) with the
Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement
as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for nine
months from the date of its effectiveness;
(d) furnish each seller such number of copies of the registration
statement and the prospectus forming a part of such registration statement
(including each preliminary prospectus) as such seller may reasonably
request;
(e) use its best efforts to register or qualify (or cause to be
registered or qualified) the securities covered by such registration
statement under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as
each seller shall reasonably request (including, without limitation, the
New York State Real Estate Syndicate Act, the Massachusetts Uniform
Securities Act and the New Jersey Real Estate Syndicate Offerings Law),
and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or
advisable to enable such seller to consummate the disposition of the
Restricted Shares during the period provided in paragraph (c) of this
Section 5.8; provided, however, that in no event shall CPI be obligated to
qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so
qualified, to take any action which would subject it to the service of
process in suits other than those arising out of the offer or sale of the
securities covered by such registration statement in any jurisdiction
where it is not now so subject or to conform the composition of its assets
at the time to the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdiction;
(f) notify each seller of any Restricted Shares covered by such
registration statement, during the period when a prospectus relating
thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the
happening of any event which causes the prospectus forming a part of such
registration statement to include an untrue statement of a material fact
or to omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made, and at the request of any
27
27
such seller prepare and furnish such seller a reasonable number of copies
of any supplement to or any amendment of such prospectus necessary so as
to render such prospectus, as amended or supplemented, in compliance with
the provisions of the Securities Act;
(g) engage a transfer agent and registrar for the Restricted Shares
at least by the effective date of the first registration of any of such
Restricted Shares;
(h) give serious consideration to the listing of the Restricted
Shares on an appropriate national securities exchange as promptly after
the effectiveness of such first registration as the Trustees of CPI deem
advisable;
(i) use its best efforts to procure a comfort letter or letters for
the benefit of the underwriters of such registration which substantially
conform with the requirements of the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants' Statement of Auditing Standards No. 72 from
independent accounts for CPI of recognized standing and competence in
connection with such registration;
(j) use its best efforts to deliver customary closing opinions of
counsel for CPI in connection with such registration; and
(k) make customary representations and warranties to the
underwriters in connection with such registration.
All expenses (except for the compensation of regular employees of CPI,
which shall be paid in any event by CPI) incurred by CPI in complying with this
Section 5.8, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees,
printing expenses, expenses of complying with securities or blue sky laws
(including fees and disbursements of counsel for CPI, counsel for the
Underwriters and counsel representing selling shareholders owning a majority of
the Restricted Shares being registered), all fees and disbursements of counsel
for CPI and any accountants' fees and expenses incident to or required by any
such registration are herein called "Registration Expenses", which shall be
borne as provided in Section 5.9. All
28
28
underwriting fees and commissions to be incurred by any seller and all fees and
disbursements of counsel for any seller (other than counsel described in the
second parenthetical phrase in the preceding sentence) are herein called
"Selling Expenses", which shall be borne by the seller or sellers in such
proportions as they may agree upon; provided, however, that if such sellers
cannot otherwise agree, they shall bear such expenses (other than their
individual counsel fees which shall be borne by them directly) in direct
proportion to the number of Restricted Shares which they are having registered.
It shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of CPI to take any
action pursuant to this Section 5.8 for the benefit of a prospective seller of
Restricted Shares that (x) CPI shall have received an undertaking satisfactory
to it from such seller (A) to pay all Registration Expenses required to be paid
by such seller pursuant to Section 5.9 and all Selling Expenses to be incurred
by or for account of such seller and (B) to notify CPI of the happening of any
event within the knowledge of such seller which causes the prospectus referred
to in Section 5.8(d), as it may be amended or supplemented, to include an untrue
statement of a material fact or to omit to state any material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, in each case with
respect to such seller, and (y) such seller shall furnish to CPI such
information regarding such seller, the Restricted Shares held by such seller and
the intended method of disposition of such Restricted Shares as CPI shall
reasonably request and as shall be required by applicable law in connection with
the action to be taken by CPI.
SECTION 5.9. Allocation of Expenses. If and whenever CPI is required by
the provisions of this Section 5 to use its best efforts to effect the
registration of any of its securities under the Securities Act, CPI shall pay
all Registration Expenses in connection with
(a) (i) the first two registrations of any Restricted Shares
consummated pursuant to Sections 5.5 and 5.6 and (ii) each of the third,
fourth, fifth and sixth registrations of any Restricted Shares consummated
pursuant to Sections 5.5 and 5.6, so long as each such
29
29
registration is effected pursuant to a request or requests from a
prospective seller or sellers (including Purchaser) to register at least
5% of the outstanding Common Shares (including as "outstanding" for such
purpose any Common Shares issuable upon conversion of any outstanding
securities of CPI which may then be converted); provided, however, that if
the full number of Restricted Shares covered by a request pursuant to
Section 5.5 is not in fact sold pursuant to any such registration as a
result of the inclusion of any additional outstanding or newly issued
securities of CPI in such registration, such registration shall not be
counted for purposes of this clause (a) of Section 5.9; and
(b) each registration pursuant to Section 5.7.
The Registration Expenses in connection with any other registration of its
Restricted Shares which CPI shall be required to use its best efforts to effect
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 5, and all Selling Expenses in
connection with any registration of its Restricted Shares pursuant to this
Section 5, shall be borne by the seller or sellers of such Restricted Shares in
such proportions as they may agree upon; provided, however, that if such sellers
cannot otherwise agree, they shall bear such expenses (other than their
individual counsel fees which shall be borne by them directly) in direct
proportion to the number of Restricted Shares which they are having registered.
SECTION 5.10. Limitations on Obligations to Register and Right To Sell
Restricted Shares. Anything in this Section 5 to the contrary notwithstanding:
(a) if CPI has not theretofore registered an offering of Common
Shares or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for
Common Shares under the Securities Act, CPI shall not be obligated to
effect any registration under Section 5.5 or Section 5.6 unless it shall
have received a request or requests pursuant to Section 5.5 or Section 5.6
or any similar provision of any other agreement from a prospective seller
or sellers (including the Purchaser) to register at least 10% of the
outstanding Common Shares (including as "outstanding" for such purpose any
Common Shares issuable upon
30
30
conversion of any outstanding securities of CPI which may then be
converted);
(b) if CPI has theretofore registered an offering of Common Shares
or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for Common
Shares under the Securities Act, CPI shall not be obligated to effect any
registration under Section 5.5 or Section 5.6 unless it shall have
received a request or requests from a prospective seller or sellers
(including Purchaser) to register Common Shares with a minimum value of
$15 million, based on the current value of shareholder's equity per Common
Share as of the December 31 immediately preceding the date of the first
such request. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the "current value
of shareholder's equity per Common Share" shall be deemed to be the
average of the daily closing prices for the thirty consecutive business
days commencing no more than forty-five business days before the day in
question. The closing price for each day shall be the last reported sale
price regular way or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such
day, the average of the last reported bid and asked prices regular way, in
either case on the principal national securities exchange on which the
Common Shares are admitted to trading or listed, or if not listed or
admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the average of
highest reported bid and lowest reported asked prices on the
over-the-counter market on the day in question as reported by the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System (or any
successor to such system), or a similarly generally accepted reporting
service, or if not so available, the "current value of shareholder's
equity per Common Share" shall be determined in an appraisal conducted by
Xxxxxxxx Associates, Inc. or such other independent person of recognized
standing as shall have been selected by the Trustees of CPI to determine
the net asset value of CPI;
(c) CPI shall not be required to register Restricted Shares under
the Securities Act pursuant to Section 5.5 or Section 5.6 more than once
in any consecutive 12-month period; provided, that if the full number of
Restricted Shares covered by a request pursuant to Section 5.5 is
31
31
not in fact sold pursuant to any such registration as a result of the
inclusion of any additional outstanding or newly issued securities of CPI
in such registration, such registration shall not be counted for purposes
of this clause (c) of Section 5.10;
(d) CPI shall not be obligated to effect any registration pursuant
to Section 5.5 or Section 5.6 if such registration would require an audit
of CPI as of a date other than its fiscal year end unless the seller
requesting such registration agrees to bear responsibility for the
expenses of such an audit; and
(e) any registration statement prepared pursuant to this Section 5
shall be subject to such restrictions or limitations as may be required by
law to the sales price or sales method of the Restricted Shares included
in such registration statement; provided, however, that, if upon the
effectiveness of any such registration statement CPI will be engaged in a
primary distribution of its securities, CPI may require the prospective
seller or sellers whose Restricted Shares are included in such
registration statement to agree not to sell any such Restricted Shares for
a period of 90 days after the effective date of such registration
statement.
SECTION 5.11. Indemnification. In the event of any registration of
Restricted Shares pursuant to this Section 5, CPI shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Purchaser, its officers, directors or trustees and each seller of
Restricted Shares covered by a registration pursuant to this Section 5 and each
Underwriter of such Restricted Shares and each person, if any, who controls the
Purchaser or such seller or Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities
Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities and any action in
respect thereof, joint or several, to which the Purchaser or such seller,
Underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement
under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act, any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or
32
32
any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and
CPI will reimburse the Purchaser and each such seller, Underwriter and
controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by
any of them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action; provided, however, that CPI will not be liable in
any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement,
preliminary prospectus, prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto in
reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to CPI in writing by
the Purchaser or such seller specifically for use therein, or by any Underwriter
distributing or selling the Restricted Shares of such seller, specifically for
use in the preparation thereof. This indemnity will be in addition to any
liability which CPI may otherwise have.
A party from whom indemnity may be sought pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 5.11 shall not be liable for such indemnity with respect to any
claim as to which indemnity is sought unless the party seeking such indemnity
shall have notified such indemnifying party in writing of the nature of such
claim promptly after such indemnified party becomes aware of the assertion
thereof; provided, however, that the failure so to notify such indemnifying
party shall not relieve such party from any liability which it may have to such
indemnified party otherwise than on account of the provisions of this Section
5.11 or if the failure to give such notice promptly shall not have been
prejudicial to such indemnifying party. Any indemnifying party may participate
(with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party) in, and to the
extent that it shall wish, may direct (at its own expense and either
individually or jointly with any other indemnifying party), the defense of any
suit brought to enforce such claim; provided, that if a party seeking such
indemnity shall give notice to such indemnifying party that in its good faith
judgment an important general interest of such party is involved in such
proceeding, such party seeking indemnity shall have the right to control (at its
own expense), with the participation of the indemnifying party, the
33
33
defense against or settlement of any such proceeding. If any indemnifying party
elects to assume the defense of any such suit and retains counsel satisfactory
to such indemnified party, such indemnifying party will not be liable to such
indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with the defense of such suit, other than
reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any
compromise or settlement of any such action effected without its consent.
Insofar as the foregoing indemnity agreement may permit indemnification
for liabilities under the Securities Act of any person who is a partner or
controlling person of an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act and who, at the effective date of the registration statement, is,
or is named to be, a Trustee of CPI, if a claim for indemnification for any such
liabilities (except payment for expenses incurred in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such a person, CPI will submit to
a court of competent jurisdiction (unless in the opinion of counsel for CPI the
matter has already been settled by controlling precedent) the question of
whether or not such indemnification is against public policy and unenforceable,
and such person and CPI will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
It shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of CPI to take any
action pursuant to Section 5.8 that CPI shall have received an undertaking
satisfactory to it from each prospective seller of the Restricted Shares to be
registered under each registration pursuant to this Section 5, and from any
Underwriter of such Restricted Shares, to indemnify and hold harmless (in the
same manner and to the same extent as set forth in the preceding paragraphs of
this Section 5.11) CPI and each of its Trustees, officers and "control" persons
within the meaning of that term under the Securities Act, against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities to which CPI or any such Trustee, officer or
control person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar
as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of any material fact contained in such registration statement, any preliminary
prospectus or final prospectus
34
34
contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or
are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was in
reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to CPI in writing by
such seller or Underwriter, as the case may be, specifically for use therein;
and such persons will reimburse CPI and each of its Trustees, officers and
control persons for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of
them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability which
such seller or Underwriter may otherwise have.
SECTION 5.12. 1934 Act Registration. CPI shall cause at least one class of
its securities to be registered pursuant to Section 12 of the 1934 Act within 90
calendar days after the effective date of the first registration statement
pertaining to Common Shares or other securities which are convertible into or
exchangeable for Common Shares filed by CPI under the Securities Act or as
otherwise required by the 1934 Act and shall thereafter (i) cause such
securities to remain registered under such Section 12, (ii) file within the
requisite period of time all reports required to be filed by issuers having
securities registered pursuant to such Section 12, (iii) file such other
documents as may be required to be filed pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act as a condition to the sale of restricted or control securities
and (iv) provide such other information as may be required to be provided
pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act as in effect on the date of this
Purchase and Exchange Agreement.
CPI covenants that, so long as the Purchaser shall hold any Common Shares
or CRC Shares, it will give to the Purchaser prompt written notice of (i) the
filing and effectiveness of any registration statement filed by CPI under the
1934 Act pursuant to the preceding paragraph, relating to any class of
securities of CPI or CRC, and (ii) the number of shares of such class of
securities outstanding at the time such registration statement becomes
effective. CPI also covenants that it will furnish to the Purchaser any
information which
35
35
it may reasonably require for the purpose of completing Form 144, or any other
comparable form, in connection with any proposed sale by the Purchaser pursuant
to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as then in effect, or any other comparable
rule, of any Common Share or any CRC Shares.
SECTION 5.13. More Favorable Rights. CPI agrees that if it shall hereafter
afford to any person or entity registration rights with respect to Restricted
Shares more favorable than those provided in this Section 5, it will forthwith
make such more favorable rights available to the Purchaser with respect to the
Restricted Shares held by the Purchaser.

other securities or any Shares to be sold hereunder.

their subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Purchaser is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be
bound.
SECTION 6.2.4. There is no action, proceeding or investigation

Statement pursuant to Treasury
Regulation Section 1.897-2(h)
In accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.897-2(h), Corporate
