Capitalized terms used in this letter agreement (this “Agreement”) but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.

In addition, Brookfield Property L.P. is also required to pay to an Affiliate of BAM Equity Enhancement Distributions (as defined and calculated in accordance with that certain Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, dated as of the 8th day of August, 2013, by and among Parent, Brookfield Property Special L.P., BAM , BPY I L.P., BPY II L.P. and Brookfield US Corporation, as amended by that certain First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, dated as of December 4, 2014 and as further amended by that certain Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2015 (the “BPL LPA”)). BAM, on behalf of its Affiliates that are party to the BPY Master Services Agreement and the BPL LPA, and the Company hereby agree to negotiate in good faith and enter into, effective as of and conditioned upon the occurrence of the Charter Closing, a master services agreement on substantially similar terms to those contained in the BPY Master Services Agreement provided, however, that BAM hereby waives any management fees that may be payable by the Company to BAM for a period of twelve (12) months from and after the Charter Closing Date. BAM hereby further waives, effective as of and conditioned upon the occurrence of the Charter Closing, for a period of twelve (12) months from and after the Charter Closing Date, any
incremental Equity Enhancement Distributions (as defined and calculated in the BPL LPA) and any incremental base management fees payable under the BPY Master Services Agreement, in each case associated only with the number of Parent Common Units issued in the Parent Common Units Exchange (or issued by Parent following an exercise of the redemption right of the Class A Stock issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement).
(b) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to Contracts made and performed in such State without giving effect to the choice of Law principles of such State that would require or permit the application of the Laws of another jurisdiction.
(c) Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give any Person, other than the parties, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.
