THIS CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of
this 25th day of March, 2002 (the "Effective Date") by and among Stamford
Xxxxxxxx Associates Limited Partnership, a Connecticut limited partnership, and
its successors and assigns ("Contributor"), Urstadt Xxxxxx Properties Inc., a
Maryland corporation (the "REIT"), and UB Stamford, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("Acquiror").
1. CONTRIBUTION. At Closing (as defined herein), Contributor shall contribute
and convey to Acquiror, and Acquiror shall accept and assume from Contributor,
for the Contribution Consideration (as defined below), and pursuant to the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, all of Contributor's
right, title and interest in and to the Property (as defined below). The
contribution and conveyance of the Property shall be made subject to the
Existing Mortgage (as defined below) and other Permitted Exceptions (defined
below) and other matters set forth herein.
For purposes of this Agreement, "Property" means: (i) the land
as described in Exhibit A (the "Land") and the improvements thereon known as the
Stamford Xxxxxxxx Center (the "Shopping Center"), together with all easements,
rights of way, strips, gores, privileges, licenses, appurtenants and other
rights, benefits and interests appurtenant thereto, including, but not limited
to, all right, title and interest of Contributor in and to any streets or other
public ways adjacent to the Shopping Center and any water or mineral rights
owned by, or leased to, Contributor; (ii) all improvements located on the
Property owned by the Contributor, including, but not limited to, the Shopping
Center, and all other structures, systems, and utilities associated with, and
utilized by, Contributor in the ownership and operation of the Shopping Center
(all such improvements being collectively referred to herein as the
"Improvements"), but excluding improvements, if any, owned by Tenants and
subtenants of the Shopping Center; (iii) all tangible personal property owned by
Contributor and (x) located on or in the Land and (y) used in connection with
the operation and maintenance of the Shopping Center (collectively, the
"Personal Property"); (iv) all building materials, supplies, hardware, carpeting
and other inventory owned by Contributor and maintained in connection with
Contributor's ownership and operation of the Shopping Center (collectively, the
"Inventory"); (v) Contributor's interest in all trademarks, trade names,
development rights and entitlements and other intangible property used in
connection with the Shopping Center (collectively, the "Intangible Personal
Property"); and (vi) Contributor's interest in all leases and other agreements
to occupy all or any portion of the Land in effect on the Closing Date (as
defined below) or into which Contributor enters prior to Closing, but pursuant
to the express terms of this Agreement, excluding all rights and payments and
causes of action under any previously expired or terminated leases
(collectively, the "Leases").
2. CONTRIBUTION; LP UNITS; TAX MATTERS.
-----------------------------------
(a) General. At Closing, the REIT which is Acquiror's sole general partner, will
contribute cash to Acquiror equal to the amount of Contribution Consideration
(as defined below) to be paid in cash. The REIT is a Maryland corporation that
has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, whose Class A Common
Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class A Common Stock"), is traded on the
New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE").
(b) Contribution Consideration. The aggregate consideration to be paid and/or
issued by Acquiror for the Property (the "Contribution Consideration") shall
consist of (x) an amount, in cash and such number of LP Units (as defined
below), as have an aggregate value that equals the difference between (i) Eighty
Nine Million Two Hundred Eighty Thousand and no/100 ($89,280,000) Dollars, and
(ii) the outstanding principal amount of the first mortgage indebtedness owed to
Xxxxxxxx Funding Company encumbering the Property (the "Existing Mortgage"), on
the Closing Date, subject to the adjustments contemplated in this Agreement.
Ninety percent (90%) of the Contribution Consideration shall be in cash and ten
percent (10%) shall be in the form of LP Units. Contributor agrees to dissolve
at or shortly after the closing contemplated under the Agreement and, by
execution hereof, agrees to assign or distribute to Cirrus Xxxxxxxx Associates,
L.P. ("CRALP"), a partner of Contributor, all of the Contributor's rights to
receive the LP Units. The parties acknowledge that CRALP intends to dissolve at
or shortly after the closing contemplated under the Agreement and intends to
assign or distribute to DKH Stamford Associates, L.P. ("DKH"), a partner of
CRALP, all of CRALP's rights to receive the LP Units. In connection with the
dissolution of Contributor, the Contribution Consideration shall be issued or
paid to the partners of Contributor ("Contributor's Partners") in the amounts
(the "Partner's Liquidation Amounts") and in the form specified on Schedule 2(b)
attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. At the Closing (as defined
below) the Acquiror shall (i) issue and deliver to CRALP its pro rata share
(based on the Partners' Liquidation Amounts for CRALP specified on Schedule 2(b)
hereto) of the Contribution Consideration in cash and LP Units calculated in the
manner as provided in Subparagraph 2(c)(ii) below. If the calculation of the
Contribution Consideration or Adjustments (as defined below) otherwise payable
in LP Units in accordance with Subparagraph 2(c)(ii) or 2(g) would result in a
fraction of an LP Unit being delivered to Contributor, Acquiror shall pay cash
in lieu of that fraction. Provided that all conditions precedent to the REIT's
obligations to close in this Agreement (collectively, the "REIT's Conditions
Precedent") have been satisfied and fulfilled, or waived in writing by the REIT,
the REIT shall cause the Acquiror to issue its LP Units to DKH at Closing
pursuant to Subparagraph 2(c).
(c) LP Units.
---------
(i) Ten percent of the Contribution Consideration shall be paid at the Closing
by Acquiror's issuance and delivery of units of limited partnership interest in
Acquiror (the "LP Units"). Contributor intends to dissolve at or shortly after
the closing contemplated under the Agreement. In connection with such
dissolution, Contributor hereby agrees to assign or distribute its entire
interest in the LP Units directly to CRALP. The issuance of the LP Units to DKH
shall be evidenced by the execution and delivery of Acquiror's agreement of
limited partnership (the "Partnership Agreement"), which shall be executed and
delivered by the REIT and DKH, in substantially the form attached to the
Investor Materials (defined below), at Closing.
(ii) The number of LP Units to be issued shall be equal to the Contribution
Consideration to be issued in the form of LP Units divided by a "Unit Price,"
which shall be equal to the average of the last reported sales prices of the
Class A Common Stock for the 30 consecutive NYSE trading days preceding, but
excluding the five trading days prior to, the Closing Date.
(iii) CRALP and DKH intend to treat the receipt of LP Units in exchange for the
Property as a tax-deferred partnership contribution (the "Tax-Deferred
Contribution") pursuant to Section 721 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"). The REIT and Contributor shall cooperate in all reasonable
respects with CRALP and DKH to effectuate such Tax-Deferred Contribution;
provided, that:
(A) Except as set forth in this Agreement or the Partnership Agreement, neither
Acquiror nor the REIT shall be required to incur any additional cost or expense,
or incur any additional liability, as a result of such Tax-Deferred
Contribution, other than the cost of the REIT's counsel in connection with the
preparation of this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement; and
(B) Subject to the REIT's performance and fulfillment in all material respects
of the covenants and conditions in the Partnership Agreement and this Agreement,
neither Contributor, Acquiror nor the REIT warrants, nor shall any of them be
responsible for, the tax consequences to CRALP or DKH of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
(d) [intentionally deleted]
-----------------------
(e) Transfer Restrictions. Contributor shall distribute all of its rights to the
LP Units to CRALP in partial liquidation of such partner's interests in
Contributor promptly following the Closing. Except as provided in the preceding
sentence, Contributor shall not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or encumber, or
otherwise convey any of its rights to receive LP Units (any of the foregoing, a
"Transfer"). This Subparagraph 2(e) shall survive the Closing.
(f) Prorations and Adjustments. At Closing, all amounts payable by Contributor
or the REIT, as the case may be, to the other party in respect of any prorations
described in this Agreement ("Prorations") or adjustments described in this
Agreement ("Adjustments") which have occurred on or prior to the Closing Date
shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The net amount
payable to the appropriate party in respect of any such Prorations and
Adjustments shall be paid in cash and may take the form of official or certified
unendorsed check or wire transfer payable directly to the payee thereof. At the
request of CRALP, CRALP's pro rata share of such Prorations and adjustment shall
be paid in the form of LP Units, subject to the limitation set forth in
Subparagraph 2(b).
(g) Xxxxxxx Money. Simultaneously with the Contributor's execution of this
Agreement, the REIT will deposit, as an xxxxxxx money deposit (the "Xxxxxxx
Money"), in escrow with Lawyers Title Insurance Corporation (the "Escrowee"),
the sum of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00), in the
form of a certified or bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available
funds, to be held in accordance with the terms of a separate Escrow Agreement,
dated as of March 25, 2002 between the REIT, Contributor and Escrowee. In the
event that the REIT terminates its obligations with respect to the contribution
transaction contemplated herein in accordance with the terms hereof, the entire
amount of such Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to the REIT. Escrowee shall
invest the Xxxxxxx Money in either a federally insured money market account,
United States Treasury Bills, or such other instruments as the REIT and the
Contributor may agree upon. At Closing, the Xxxxxxx Money, together with all
accrued interest and dividends thereon, will be credited against the portion of
the Contribution Consideration payable in cash to Contributor's Partners, with
any balance returned to the REIT, with the REIT responsible for any tax payable
on the interest that accrues on the Xxxxxxx Money in such event. Any and all
interest and dividends earned on the Xxxxxxx Money shall be paid over to the
party entitled to the receipt of the Xxxxxxx Money under the terms of this
Agreement, which party shall, except as provided in the preceding sentence, be
responsible for any tax payable on the interest that accrues on the Xxxxxxx
Money in such event. UPON A DEFAULT BY THE REIT AFTER THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN
FULLY EXECUTED AND PRIOR TO THE CLOSING, THE CONTRIBUTOR'S AND ITS PARTNERS'
SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY SHALL BE TO EITHER (1) TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND
RETAIN THE XXXXXXX MONEY (AND ALL INTEREST ACCRUED THEREON) AS LIQUIDATED
DAMAGES, OR (2) SEEK SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF THE REIT'S AND ACQUIROR'S
OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. UPON A DEFAULT BY CONTRIBUTOR AFTER THIS
AGREEMENT HAS BEEN FULLY EXECUTED AND PRIOR TO CLOSING, THE REIT MAY (1)
TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT, IN WHICH EVENT THE XXXXXXX MONEY AND ALL INTEREST
ACCRUED THEREON SHALL BE RETURNED TO THE REIT, (2) SEEK SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE,
AND/OR (3) PURSUE ANY OTHER REMEDY AVAILABLE IN LAW OR EQUITY (OTHER THAN
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES).
3. CLOSING. The contribution of the Property and the delivery of LP Units and
other consideration contemplated herein shall be consummated at a closing (the
"Closing") at the offices of the REIT's counsel, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLC, Four
Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, X.X. Xxx 000, Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000, or at such other location

the other party, in order to take any action of any kind required in order to
permit the Closing contemplated hereunder to occur. If the Closing Date
established pursuant to the preceding sentence is a Saturday, Sunday or legal
holiday, the Closing Date shall be the next business day thereafter. The place,
time and date provided for herein or hereafter, as may be changed by agreement

The representations and warranties in this Agreement by
Contributor will be true, correct and complete on the Closing Date. The
representations and warranties in Subparagraph 7.1(m) and the obligations of
Contributor set forth in paragraph (e) of Section 2, Subparagraph 8(b),
Subparagraph 13(g), Sections 17, 21, 23 and 24, and Subparagraph 25(a)(iii) of
this Agreement that are to be performed by Contributor following the Closing
shall survive the Closing until they are fully performed, or until the
expiration of any applicable statute of limitations, as the case may be. Except
as provided in the two immediately preceding sentences and in the next five
sentences, all other representations, warranties and covenants made in this
Agreement by Contributor (including those in Section 9 hereof) shall survive the
Closing for a period ending December 31, 2002, and shall not merge into any
instrument of conveyance delivered at the Closing. Contributor's indemnification
obligations under this Agreement with respect to any representation, warranty or
covenant of Contributor contained herein shall be subject to Contributor's
receipt of specific written notice of a breach or claim or potential breach or
claim with respect to such representation, warranty or covenant during the
survival period of the underlying representation, warranty or covenant to which
it relates. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the representations and
warranties set forth in Subparagraphs 7.1(a), (c), (k), (p) and (t) shall not
survive the Closing. If the REIT receives an Estoppel Certificate (as
hereinafter defined) from a Tenant that addresses and confirms, with respect to
that Tenant's Lease, those matters in Subparagraph 11(a), the REIT shall rely on
such Estoppel Certificate in lieu of those representations and warranties of
Contributor in Subparagraph 11(a), but only if and to the extent that
Contributor's representations and warranties in Subparagraph 11(a) are actually
and specifically addressed and confirmed by the Estoppel Certificate. If the
REIT receives an estoppel certificate from the Lender that addresses and
confirms those matters in Subparagraphs 7.1(q) and 8(e), the REIT shall rely on
such estoppel certificate in lieu of those representations and warranties of
Contributor in Subparagraphs 7.1(q) and 8(e), but only if and to the extent that
Contributor's representations and warranties in Subparagraphs 7.1(q) and 8(e)
are actually and specifically addressed and confirmed by such estoppel
certificate. The representations and warranties of Contributor in Subparagraph
11(a) shall expire as of the Closing Date, but only with respect to those
Tenants, and their respective Leases from which the REIT receives an Estoppel
Certificate that actually and specifically addresses and confirms those matters
that are the subject of Subparagraph 11(a). If, prior to the Closing, the REIT
acquired actual knowledge, through any written documentation copies of which
were delivered to or made available by Contributor to the REIT, of the breach of
any of Contributor's representations and warranties, and the REIT nonetheless
elects to close under this Agreement, then the REIT shall be deemed to have
waived the breach in question. This Section shall not limit in any way the
survival and enforceability of any covenant or agreement of the parties hereto
whether in this Section 7.1 or otherwise herein which by its terms contemplates
performance after the Closing Date, which shall survive indefinitely or for the
respective periods set forth herein, if any. Whenever a representation or
warranty is made in this Agreement on the basis of the knowledge or actual
knowledge of Contributor, such representation and warranty is made on the basis
of the current actual knowledge of Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx or Xxx Xxx.
7.2 The REIT. The REIT makes the following representations and warranties as of
the Closing Date, to Contributor:
(a) Existence and Power. The REIT is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland, and is
duly qualified to do business in all jurisdictions where such qualification is
necessary to carry on its business, except where the failure to so qualify would
not materially and adversely affect the financial condition, business or
operations of the REIT.
(b) Notice of Violations. The REIT has received no written notice of any
existing violation of any federal, state, county or municipal law, ordinance,

that would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or business

(c) REIT Qualification. The REIT is organized and operates as a "real estate
investment trust" under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. The REIT has
elected to be taxed as a "real estate investment trust" under the Code.
(d) Authorization. The REIT is the sole general partner of Acquiror, and has all
requisite corporate power and authority to cause Acquiror to acquire the
Property and perform any of its other obligations contemplated hereunder. The
execution and delivery to Contributor of all agreements and other documents the
REIT executes and delivers in connection with the transactions described in this
Agreement (the "REIT Documents"), and performance by the REIT under the REIT
Documents and of its other obligations arising out of this Agreement, if any,
have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action. The REIT Documents
are binding on the REIT and enforceable against the REIT in accordance with
their terms, subject to bankruptcy and similar laws affecting the remedies or
recourse of creditors generally and general principles of equity. Neither the
execution of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby by the REIT will (i) result in a breach of, default under,
or acceleration of, any agreement to which the REIT is a party or by which the
REIT is bound; or (ii) violate any restriction, court order, agreement or other
legal obligation to which the REIT is subject, except where such breach or
violation would not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or
business.

"Securities Act"), and has provided or caused to be provided to the REIT, or to
counsel for the REIT, such other information and documentation as has reasonably
been requested by the REIT in furtherance of the Acquiror's issuance of the LP
Units as contemplated hereby. Counsel for the REIT has not, after review of such
material, determined that DKH is not an Accredited Investor so that the proposed
issuance of LP Units hereunder might not qualify for the exemption from
registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D
promulgated thereunder, or the proposed issuance of LP Units hereunder would
violate any applicable federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations,
or any agreement to which the REIT is a party, or any tax related or other legal
rules, agreements or constraints applicable to Acquiror or the REIT.

and warranties, and the Contributor nonetheless elects to close under this
Agreement, then the Contributor shall be deemed to have waived the breach in
question. This Section shall not limit in any way the survival and
enforceability of any covenant or agreement of the parties hereto whether in
this Section 7.2 or otherwise herein which by its terms contemplates performance
after the Closing Date, which shall survive indefinitely or for the respective
periods set forth herein, if any. In this Agreement with respect to any
representation or warranty, the "knowledge" of the REIT refers to the current

all requisite partnership action. The Acquiror Documents are binding on Acquiror
and enforceable against Acquiror in accordance with their terms, subject to
bankruptcy and similar laws affecting the remedies or recourse of creditors

to counsel for Acquiror, such other information and documentation as has
reasonably been requested by Acquiror in furtherance of the Acquiror's issuance
of the LP Units as contemplated hereby. Counsel for Acquiror has not, after
review of such material, determined that DKH is not an Accredited Investor so
that the proposed issuance of LP Units hereunder might not qualify for the
exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or
Regulation D promulgated thereunder, or the proposed issuance of LP Units
hereunder would violate any applicable federal or state securities laws, rules
or regulations, or any agreement to which Acquiror is a party, or any tax
related or other legal rules, agreements or constraints applicable to Acquiror.

threatened in writing, that, after Closing, would materially and adversely
affect the value or marketability of the Property or the ability of Acquiror to
operate the Property in the manner it is being operated on the Closing Date.
(b) Utilities. On the Closing Date, no moratorium or proceeding shall be pending
or threatened in writing affecting the availability, at regular rates and
connection fees, of sewer, water, electric, gas, telephone or other services or
utilities servicing the Property.
(c) Bankruptcy. As of the Closing Date, neither Contributor nor the Property is
the subject of any bankruptcy proceeding for which approval of this transaction
has not been given and issued by the applicable bankruptcy court.
(d) Covenants Performed. All covenants of Contributor required to be performed
prior to the Closing Date shall have been performed in all material respects.
(e) Title to the Property. Title to the Property shall be in the condition

approval of the requisite percentage of the Contributor's general and limited
partners to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.
(g) Continued Accuracy of Representations, etc.. All representations and
warranties of the Contributor set forth in this Agreement (regardless of whether
such representations and warranties are to be effective only as of the Closing
Date) shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing. In
the event that any updating of a schedule or document to be delivered at the
Closing (e.g., rent roll) causes a representation or warranty of Contributor set
forth in this Agreement to become untrue or incorrect in any material fashion
from the information set forth on such schedule or document on the Effective
Date (other than with respect to the Excluded Tenants (defined below) or The
Casual Male, Inc.), this condition precedent shall be deemed not to have been
satisfied.
(h) Title Policy. Receipt of the Title Policy (or "marked-up" title commitment)
issued by the Title Company, in form and substance consistent with the Title
Commitment, dated as of the Closing Date, with such endorsements and otherwise

11. LEASES CONDITIONS PRECEDENT AND REPRESENTATIONS WITH RESPECT THERETO.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Representations as to Leases. Set forth on Schedule 11(a) is a list of all
leases, licenses or other occupancy agreements relating to or affecting the
Property, and all modifications, extensions and amendments thereto (the
"Leases"). Contributor has delivered true, correct and complete copies of all
Leases. With respect to each tenant listed on the Rent Roll provided to the REIT
by Contributor (collectively, the "Tenants"), Contributor represents and
warrants to the REIT as follows:
(i) Except as otherwise specifically disclosed on the Rent Roll, as updated at
Closing, or on either Schedule 11(a) or Schedule 11(a)(i) as updated at Closing,
each Lease is in full force and effect according to the terms thereof and in the
Rent Roll, and has not been modified, amended, or altered;
(ii) Except as set forth on Schedule 11(a)(ii), and subject to Paragraph 23, all
obligations of the lessor under the Leases that accrue on or prior to the date
of Closing have been performed, including, but not limited to, all required
tenant improvements, cash or other inducements, rent abatements or moratoria,
installations and construction (for which payment in full has been made or will
be made prior to Closing);
(iii) Except as otherwise specifically disclosed on the Rent Roll as updated at
Closing, Schedule 13(g) as updated at Closing, or on Schedule 11(a)(iii) as
updated at Closing, no Tenant is currently in default under or is in arrears in
the payment of any sums or in the performance of any obligations required of it
under its Lease;
(iv) Contributor has not received any notice within the last three years from
any Tenant stating that a petition in bankruptcy has been filed by or against
it, other than in respect of the tenant The Casual Male, Inc.;
(v) Except with respect to security deposits, neither base rent ("Base Rent"),
nor regularly payable estimated Tenant contributions or operating expenses,
insurance premiums, real estate taxes, common area charges, and similar or other
"pass through" or non-base rent items including, without limitation,
cost-of-living or so-called "C.P.I." or other such adjustments (collectively,
"Additional Rent"), nor any other material item payable by any Tenant under any
Lease has been heretofore prepaid for more than one month following the Closing;
(vi) To the best of Contributor's knowledge, no guarantor(s) of any Lease has
been released or discharged, partially or fully, voluntarily or involuntarily,
or by operation of law, from any obligation under or in connection with any
Lease or any transaction related thereto;
(vii) Subject to Paragraphs 21 and 23, there are no brokers' commissions,
finders' fees, or other charges payable or to become payable to any third party
on behalf of Contributor in connection with any Lease, including, but not
limited to, any option(s) to expand or renew.
(viii) Except as set forth on Schedule 11(a)(viii), no Tenant has on deposit
with Contributor any security deposit. Each security deposit set forth on
Schedule 11(a)(viii) shall be transferred to Acquiror at the Closing (or the
REIT shall receive a credit therefor). Contributor agrees and covenants that it
will not offset against any security deposit held by it as of the Effective Date
without the consent of Acquiror. In the event Contributor does set off any
security deposit without the consent of Acquiror, the REIT and Acquiror shall be
permitted to terminate this Agreement and to receive back the Xxxxxxx Money and
all interest accrued thereon;
(ix) Except as set forth in Schedule 11(a)(ix), Contributor shall have paid (or
the REIT shall receive a credit therefor), and Contributor shall have retained
sole and exclusive responsibility for, all expenses connected with or arising
out of the negotiation, execution and delivery of the Leases, including, without
limitation, brokers' commissions (including those applicable, if any, to future
expansions or renewals by a Tenant), leasing fees and recording fees (as well as
the cost of all tenant improvements not required to be paid for by Tenants);
(x) Except as otherwise expressly disclosed on the Rent Roll or on Schedule
11(a), to the best of Contributor's knowledge, as of the Closing Date: (A) no
Tenant has sublet its leased premises; (B) no assignment of any interest in a
Lease has been made by any Tenant; and (C) there are no outstanding written
requests from any Tenants to Contributor, requesting any consent to an
assignment of the Tenant's Lease or to a sublease of all or some portion of a
Tenant's leased premises.
(xi) Although the Trans-Lux Notice of Lease (as defined on Schedule 6(a)) and
the Helene's Restaurants Notice of Lease (as defined on Schedule 6(a)) appear as
permitted exceptions on Schedule 6(a) to this Agreement, Contributor represents
and warrants that each of the leases referenced in such Notices of Lease have
expired and that the tenants under such leases have no rights to the space
formerly occupied by them pursuant to the terms of said leases.
(b) Estoppel Certificates and Subordination Agreements from Tenants. Contributor
shall deliver to the REIT, on or prior to the Closing Date, tenant's estoppel
certificates (each an "Estoppel Certificate") from the Tenants dated no earlier
than 30 days prior to the Closing Date (unless such Estoppel Certificate is
dated more than thirty days prior to the Closing and is dated on or after
February 22, 2002 and Contributor represents at Closing, with such
representation surviving Closing for a period ending December 31, 2002, that it
has no knowledge of any changed circumstances that would make such estoppel
untrue in any material manner) and no later than the Closing Date as follows:
Each such Estoppel Certificate shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit G.
Contributor shall obtain and deliver to the REIT, at Closing, Estoppel
Certificates for (i) those particular Tenants reflected on Schedule 11(b)
("Required Estoppel Tenants") and (ii) from such additional Tenants as are
responsible for 70% of (x) the total aggregate rentable square footage of the
Property (as shown on the Rent Roll delivered at Closing), minus (y) the
aggregate rentable square footage of the Required Estoppel Tenants, and minus
(z) the aggregate rentable square footage attributable to leases with Yogurt &
Such Long Island, Inc. and The Station Home Furnishing Store, LLC (the "Excluded
Tenants"). If Contributor satisfies the above requirement, but (despite its good
faith and diligent efforts) has been unable to obtain all of the remaining
Estoppel Certificate(s) from any Tenants (other than the Excluded Tenants), then
Contributor's representations set forth in this Agreement with respect to the
leases of such Tenant(s) shall survive the Closing, subject to the terms of the
last paragraph of Section 7.1 hereof.

preceding the Closing Date, except as otherwise specified:
(a) The amount of all security and other Tenant deposits, without accrued
interest, shall be transferred or credited to the Acquiror (except in those
instances where the Tenant is entitled to accrued interest under the applicable
lease);
(b) To the extent such charges are not billed directly to Tenants, water,
electricity, sewer, gas, telephone and other utility charges shall be prorated
based, to the extent practicable, on final meter readings and final invoices,
or, in the event final readings and invoices are not available, based on the
most currently available billing information, and re-prorated upon issuance of
final utility bills;
(c) Amounts paid or payable under any Assumed Contracts shall be prorated based,
to the extent practicable, on final invoices or, in the event final invoices are
not available, based on the most currently available billing information, and
re-prorated upon issuance of final invoices;
(d) All fees, water, sewer and general real estate taxes and special
assessments, if any, relating to the Property payable during the year in which
Closing occurs shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. If Closing shall occur
before the actual taxes and special assessments payable during such year are
known, the apportionment of taxes shall be upon the basis of taxes for the
Property payable during the immediately preceding year, provided that, if the
taxes and special assessments payable during the year in which Closing occurs
are thereafter determined to be more or less than the taxes payable during the
preceding year (after any appeal of the assessed valuation thereof is
concluded), Acquiror and Contributor promptly shall adjust the proration of such
taxes and special assessments and Acquiror or Contributor, as the case may be,
shall pay to the other any amount required as a result of such adjustment and
this covenant shall not merge with the deeds delivered hereunder but shall
survive the Closing.
(e) All assessments, general or special, shall be prorated as of the Closing
Date on a "due date" basis such that Contributor shall be responsible for any
installments of assessments which are first due or payable prior to the Closing
Date and the REIT shall be responsible for any installments of assessments which
are first due or payable on or after the Closing Date;
(f) Commissions of leasing and rental agents for any Lease entered into as of or
prior to the Effective Date, whether with respect to base lease term, future
expansions, renewals, or otherwise, shall have been paid in full by Contributor,
without contribution or proration from the REIT or Acquiror;
(g) All base rents and other charges, including, without limitation, all common
area maintenance and other pass-through charges to Tenants, shall be prorated as
follows:
(i) Rents received by Contributor as of the Closing for the calendar month in
which the Closing shall occur shall be adjusted as of the date of Closing;
(ii) Rents received by Acquiror or Contributor from a particular tenant after
the date of Closing shall be adjusted as of the date of Closing; any adjustments
under this Section 13(g)(ii) shall be made by Contributor and Acquiror at the
end of each week in which checks are received from a particular tenant.
(iii) Except as provided in subsection 13(g)(ii) above with respect to rents
received by Contributor or Acquiror after the date of Closing, no adjustment
shall be made for delinquent rent owing to Contributor on the date of Closing,
and Acquiror shall be under no obligation to collect any such rents; provided,
however, that the REIT agrees to cause the Acquiror, at no third party or out of
pocket cost to the REIT or Acquiror, to cooperate with and assist Contributor in
collecting the amounts specified on Schedule 13(g) attached hereto from those
tenants specified on Schedule 13(g), which Schedule shall be updated by
Contributor at Closing to reflect additional delinquent rent first accruing
after the Effective Date and before the Closing. The REIT agrees that neither it
nor the Acquiror shall adjust or compromise the amount of any delinquent rent
owing to Contributor on the date of Closing. After the Closing, Contributor
shall be entitled to xxx any Tenant named on Schedule 13(g) for delinquent rent,
up to the amounts specified on Schedule 13(g), with respect to the period prior
to the Closing, but shall not be entitled to evict or xxx for possession of
premises occupied by a tenant owing delinquent rent. Payments for base rent
received shall be deemed to be for and shall be applied in the following order:
first, to rent then due and payable in the month of the Closing; second, to any
delinquent rent for the period after the Closing; and third to any delinquent
rent for the period prior to the Closing. Payments for common area maintenance
or taxes shall be applied for the period for which they relate to. The
provisions of this Section 13 (g) shall survive the closing of the transactions
contemplated in this Agreement.
At the time(s) of final calculation and collection from
Tenants of common area maintenance and other pass-through charges for 2002,
there shall be a re-proration between the REIT and Contributor as to such
additional charges adjustments, which re-proration shall be paid upon the REIT's
presentation of its final accounting to Contributor, certified as to accuracy by
the REIT. The party's respective obligations to re-prorate such additional
charges shall survive the Closing. (h) Any other costs or charges of closing
this transaction not specifically mentioned in this Agreement shall be paid and
adjusted in accordance with local custom in the City of Stamford.
For purposes of calculating Prorations, the Acquiror shall be
deemed to be in title to the Property, and therefore entitled to the income
therefrom and responsible for the expenses thereof, for the entire Closing Date.
All such Prorations shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days of
the year and month that shall have elapsed as of the Closing Date.
14. CLOSING EXPENSES. Acquiror will pay the entire cost of the Title Policy, the
Survey, the UCC Searches (including any and all "date downs" thereto), recording
fees and all fees and expenses imposed by the REIT's and the Acquiror's
accountants and attorneys in connection with this Agreement and the transaction
contemplated hereunder. Contributor will pay for: (i) all costs associated with
the assumption of the Existing Mortgage, other than those costs incurred by
Acquiror in complying with the second to last sentence of Section 5(c) hereof;
(ii) all fees and expenses imposed by its accountants and attorneys in
connection with this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereunder, and
(iii) for all conveyance and transfer taxes.
15. DEFAULT BY REIT. If any of the REIT's or Acquiror's representations and
warranties herein are not true and correct on the Closing Date or if the REIT or
Acquiror fails to perform any of the covenants and agreements herein to be
performed by such party within the time for their performance, and
notwithstanding such default, Contributor has closed this transaction,
Contributor's rights shall be only those expressly set forth in this Agreement
and Contributor shall be deemed to have waived all other rights to rescission,
or any other remedy, except for actual monetary damages. Except as otherwise
specifically provided in the final paragraphs of Paragraphs 7.2 and 7.3 and in
Paragraph 24 hereof, Contributor shall have no remedy other than as provided in
this Section 15 for any default by the REIT.
16. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Prior to the Closing, neither party to this
Agreement shall assign this Agreement nor any of their respective rights or
obligations hereunder without the other party's written consent, which may be
withheld in such party's sole and absolute discretion. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective
nominees, successors, beneficiaries and permitted assigns.
17. LITIGATION. In the event of litigation between the parties with respect to
the Property, this Agreement, the performance of their respective obligations
hereunder or the effect of a termination under this Agreement, the losing party
shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing party, including,
but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees of counsel selected by the
prevailing party. In the event of litigation between the parties, as
contemplated above, and the resolution of that litigation through compromise,
settlement, or partial judgment, the court before which such litigation is
initially brought may allocate responsibility, between Contributor and the REIT,
for all costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys' reasonable
fees) incurred by both Contributor and the REIT in the pursuit of that
litigation resolved through compromise, settlement or partial judgment.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations
of the parties under this Paragraph 17 shall survive termination of this
Agreement.

Paragraph 16 and no other person or entity shall be entitled to rely hereon,
receive any benefit herefrom or enforce against any party hereto any provision

between the REIT and the Broker. REIT and Acquiror hereby agree to indemnify,
defend and hold the Contributor harmless from and against all losses, claims,

this indemnification provision. This indemnity and the obligations herein shall
survive the Closing. Contributor's indemnification obligations under this
Agreement with respect to any representation, warranty or covenant of

hereby indemnify, defend and hold harmless Contributor, its partners, the
respective agents, contractors, employees, investors, directors and officers and
representatives of each of Contributor and its partners, and each of their
successors and assigns, from and against any and all liabilities, claims,
demands, suits, administrative proceedings, causes of action, costs, damages,
losses and expenses, both known and unknown, present and future, at law or in
equity, arising out of, resulting from, by virtue of, or related in any way to
(a) a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Acquiror or the REIT
set forth herein and (b) any claim by a Tenant in respect of the period after
the Closing. Acquiror and the REIT acknowledge and agree that their obligations
to indemnify Contributor includes, without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees
and costs incurred by Contributor with respect to enforcing its rights under
this indemnification provision. This indemnity and the obligations herein shall
survive the Closing. Acquiror's and the REIT's indemnification obligations under
this Agreement with respect to any representation, warranty or covenant of
Acquiror or the REIT contained herein shall be subject to Acquiror 's and the
REIT's receipt of specific written notice of a breach or claim or potential
breach or claim with respect to such representation, warranty or covenant during
the survival period of the underlying representation, warranty or covenant to
which it relates.
25. Casualty and Condemnation.
-------------------------
(a) Casualty.
(i) Until the Closing, the risk of loss by fire or other casualty to the
Improvements, and liability for personal injury or damage to property of others
at the Property, shall be borne by the Contributor.
(ii) In the event of damage by fire or other casualty to twenty percent or more
of the square footage of the improvements located on the Property prior to the
Closing which is not reasonably capable of being repaired within ninety (90)
days, the Contributor shall notify the REIT in writing of such damage, and the
REIT shall have the option to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice
of such election to the Contributor within ten (10) business days after
receiving notice of such damage. If the REIT shall exercise its right to
terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 25 (a), the Xxxxxxx Money and
all interest accrued thereon shall be returned to the REIT, and the parties
shall be relieved of all further liabilities and obligations hereunder with
respect to the Property. If the REIT does not elect to terminate this Agreement
within the ten business day period contemplated above or the damage affects less
than twenty percent of the square footage of the improvements located on the
Property or if the damage is reasonably capable of being repaired within ninety
(90) days, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and in such
event the Contributor shall pay over and assign or cause to be paid over and
assigned to the REIT at the Closing any and all proceeds and claims under any
casualty insurance policies insuring the damaged property, together with amount
of any deductibles under any such policies. The Contributor shall have no
obligation to repair casualty damage prior to the Closing.
(iii) In the event that the Acquiror shall be subject to a personal injury or
property damage claim at any time relating to an incident occurring at the
Property prior to the Closing which is not either covered by insurance or
defended by the insurance carrier's counsel, the Contributor shall defend (with
counsel of its choice reasonably acceptable to the Acquiror), indemnify and hold
harmless Acquiror from and against all losses, damages, costs and expenses
(including attorneys' fees) that Acquiror may suffer with respect to any such
claim or incident. In the event the Contributor fails to engage counsel who
files an appearance in any such litigation within four weeks of being served
with a complaint or other legal process in connection with a matter covered by
the foregoing indemnification, the Acquiror shall be entitled to engage its own
counsel to defend such claim, and the reasonable cost of such counsel shall be
an expense that is reimbursable to the Acquiror pursuant to this subsection.
Without the prior written consent of the Acquiror, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, the Contributor will not enter into any settlement of any
claims for which the Acquiror is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this
subsection if pursuant to or as a result of such settlement, such settlement
would lead to liability or create any financial or other obligation on the part
of the Acquiror for which the Acquiror is not entitled to indemnification
hereunder. This obligation to defend, indemnify and hold harmless shall survive
the Closing.
(b) Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing, all or twenty percent or more of the
square footage of the improvements on the Property is taken by eminent domain,
the Contributor shall notify the REIT in writing of such taking, and the REIT
shall have the option either (i) to elect not to acquire the Property by giving
written notice of such election to the Contributor within ten (10) business days
after receiving notice of such taking, in which case the Xxxxxxx Money and all
interest accrued thereon shall be returned to the REIT, this Agreement shall
terminate and such parties shall be relieved of all further rights and
obligations with respect thereto, or (ii) to acquire the Property, subject to
such action, without adjustment in the Contribution Consideration and otherwise
in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, but Acquiror
shall upon Closing be entitled to the proceeds of all awards made on account of
such taking which would otherwise accrue to the Contributor. The REIT shall give
written notice to the Contributor of any election pursuant to this Section
within ten (10) business days following receipt by the REIT of any written
notice of such taking or proposed taking. Failure of the REIT to make such
election within said period shall be deemed an election to proceed to Closing
pursuant to clause (ii) above.
