holding of interests in REP or arising out of the LLC Agreement or

the meanings ascribed to them in the LLC Agreement. This letter
agreement amends and restates the Original Side Letter in its
entirety.
1. Other Side
Letters. The Managing Member, itself and on behalf of the
Company hereby agrees to promptly furnish the Future Fund Member with a copy of
all side letters or similar agreements entered into between the Managing Member,
the Company or any of their Affiliates and any Non-Managing Member in the
Company (or between any Parallel Investment Vehicle or the managing member,
general partner or similar controlling party of any Parallel Investment Vehicle
or any of their Affiliates and any investor in such Parallel Investment Vehicle)
that establish rights under, or alter or supplement the terms of, the LLC
Agreement or the constituent documents of any Parallel Investment Vehicle, as
applicable (each, a “Side
Letter”).
2. Most Favored
Nation. Without limiting paragraph 39(a) below, the Managing
Member, itself and on behalf of the Company, hereby agrees that the Future Fund
Member shall be entitled, upon written election to the Managing Member within
twenty (20) days of receipt of a copy of any Side Letter, to the rights and
benefits of such Side Letter that have the effect of establishing rights or
otherwise benefiting any other Non-Managing Member (or any investor in any
Parallel Investment Vehicle) in a manner different and more favorable, in any
material respect, than the rights and benefits established in favor of the
Future Fund Member hereunder or pursuant to the LLC Agreement; provided, that the
Future Fund Member hereby agrees to assume the obligations, if any, assumed by
such other Non-Managing Member (or such other investor in a Parallel Investment
Vehicle) in receiving such rights or benefits; provided, further, that the
Future Fund Member shall not be entitled to the rights or benefits of any Side
Letter provisions (a) that were established for the benefit of any other
Non-Managing Member (or any investor in any Parallel Investment Vehicle) to
reflect any legal or regulatory requirement to which such Non-Managing Member
(or such investor in any Parallel Investment Vehicle) is bound (including,
without limitation, provisions concerning the disclosure or use of information
or relating to the reporting obligations of the Company or any Parallel
Investment Vehicle) or any accounting practice or policy which such Non-Managing
Member (or such investor in any Parallel Investment Vehicle) has adopted and, in
each case, to which the Future Fund Member or the Beneficial Member is not
similarly bound or the Future Fund Member or the Beneficial Member has not
similarly adopted, or (b) that are personal to any other Non-Managing
Member (or any investor in any Parallel Investment Vehicle) based solely on the
place of organization or headquarters or organizational form of such other
Non-Managing Member (or such investor in a Parallel Investment Vehicle) and
provide no material economic benefit not provided to the Future Fund Member. The
Managing Member hereby represents and warrants that, other than as already
disclosed to the Future Fund Member, (i) there are no other Side Letters that
have the effect of establishing rights with respect to the governance of the
Consortium benefitting any other Non-Managing Member (or any investor in any
Parallel Investment Vehicle) in a manner different and more favorable than the
governance rights established in favor of the Future Fund Member hereunder or
pursuant to the LLC Agreement and (ii) there are no rights currently provided to
another Non-Managing Member (or any investor in any Parallel Investment Vehicle)
that can reasonably be expected to interfere with the exercise of the Future
Fund Member’s governance rights with respect to the Consortium and no such
rights will be provided to another Non-Managing Member (or any investor in any
Parallel Investment Vehicle).
3. Consent to
Transfer.
2
(a) The
Managing Member shall not withhold its consent to a Transfer by the Future Fund
Member of all or any portion of its Interest in the Company to the Beneficial
Member, an Affiliate of the Beneficial Member, the trustee of a trust in which
all or substantially all of the beneficial interests are held directly or
indirectly by the Beneficial Member or an Affiliate of the Beneficial Member or
any additional or replacement custodian of any of the foregoing (a “Permitted
Transferee”) and to such Permitted Transferee’s admission to the Company
as a substituted Non-Managing Member in accordance with the terms of the LLC
Agreement, and the Managing Member waives the requirement that the Future Fund
Member provide it with an opinion of counsel pursuant to Section 10.3(c)(i)
of the LLC Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, all other
conditions of Section 10.3 of the LLC Agreement shall apply in respect of
any Transfer contemplated by this paragraph 3(a).
4. Consent for Additional Debt
and Total Return Swap.
|
(a)
|
(i)
|
The
Managing Member, itself and on behalf of the Company, hereby agrees that
the written consent of the Future Fund Member shall be required in order
to call more than $200 million of the Future Fund Member’s Commitment to
acquire Debt (which $200 million limit shall be reduced further by the
amount paid by the Future Fund Member as the Upfront Payment Amount (as
defined below) under the Total Return Swap (as defined below) less the
excess of (x) the amount of payments made by BAM to the Future Fund Member
under the Total Return Swap over (y) the amount of such payments referred
to in (x) which have been repaid by the Future Fund Member to BAM under
the Total Return Swap (the difference between the Upfront Payment Amount
and such excess of such payments by BAM being referred to herein as the
“Net Future Fund
TRS Payment”)). For greater certainty, the Net Future
Fund TRS Payment may not be less than zero for purposes
hereof. If such consent is not given by the Future Fund Member,
the Future Fund Member agrees that any such additional Debt may be
acquired by another Parallel Investment Vehicle or another Member (other
than the Future Fund Member). For the purposes of this letter,
“Total Return
Swap” means The GGP Loan Total Return Swap Confirmation executed by
BAM, the Future Fund Member and the Beneficial Member dated on or about
the date hereof and “Upfront Payment
Amount” has the meaning ascribed thereto under the Total Return
Swap.
|
|
(ii)
|
The
Managing Member, itself and on behalf of the Company, agrees that the
Available Commitment of the Future Fund Member shall be reduced at any
time by the amount of the Net Future Fund TRS Payment at such
time.
|
(b) For
the purposes of calculating Transaction Distribution Amount and Carried Interest
under the LLC Agreement, the Upfront Payment Amount (as defined in the Total
Return Swap) shall be treated as a Capital Contribution made as of the date it
was actually made.
3
(c) The
Managing Member and the Class B Member hereby agree that the amount of any
Transaction Distribution Amount or Carried Interest payable on any Distribution
Date which is attributable to the Interest of the Future Fund Member (including
any similar amount received by the managing member or an equivalent controlling
entity which is attributable to the interest of the Future Fund Member in a
Parallel Investment Vehicle) shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount
of any Adjustment Amount (as defined in the Total Return Swap) that would be
payable if such Distribution Date was an Adjustment Amount Payment Date (as
defined in the Total Return Swap).
5. Frequency of Calls for
Capital Contributions. The Managing Member agrees to use
reasonable efforts to minimize the number of separate calls it makes for Capital
Contributions in a short period of time from the Future Fund
Member.
6. Liability as a
Custodian.
(a) Brookfield
Asset Management Inc. agrees that the Future Fund Member enters into this letter
agreement only in its capacity as custodian of the Beneficial
Member. The Managing Member, itself and on behalf of the Company, and
the Class B Member agree that the liability of the Future Fund Member under the
LLC Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and any side letter or similar
agreement and Brookfield Asset Management Inc. agrees that the liability of the
Future Fund Member under this letter agreement, in each case, shall be limited
solely to the extent that it is actually indemnified by the Beneficial Member in
respect of which it acts as custodian as provided in Section 12.26(b) of
the LLC Agreement. Subject to paragraph 6(b) hereof, the
Beneficial Member agrees that, to the extent the immediately preceding sentence
or Section 12.26(b) of the LLC Agreement operates to reduce the amounts for
which the Future Fund Member would otherwise be liable to any Person to whom the
Future Fund Member owes obligations under the LLC Agreement, the Subscription
Agreement or any side letter or similar agreement, the Beneficial Member agrees
to be directly responsible and liable for any such obligations of the Future
Fund Member and to pay or cause to be paid any amounts owing by, or any other
liabilities of, the Future Fund Member to the extent the Future Fund Member is
relieved of liability therefor by Section 12.26 of the LLC
Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding
any provision in this letter agreement to the contrary (whether express or
implied), (i) the Beneficial Member represents that it enters into this letter
agreement in accordance with its authorized functions as set out in the Future
Fund Act (as defined below) and in no other capacity and (ii) no Person will
have any claim against individual members of the Beneficial Member or any
delegates of the Beneficial Member in connection with the obligations of the
Beneficial Member under this letter agreement and the rights of individual
members and delegates of the Beneficial Member under this paragraph are held in
trust for them by the Beneficial Member.
7. Transaction Distribution
Amount.
(a) The
Managing Member hereby agrees that the Transaction Distribution Amount
distributable to the Managing Member in respect of the Future Fund Member’s
Interest (including any portion of such Interest held by a Permitted Transferee)
shall be capped at $18 million, and one-fifth (1/5) of such
Transaction Distribution Amount shall vest on each anniversary of the Initial
Closing Date, such that the full Transaction Distribution Amount shall be fully
vested on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Initial Closing Date; provided, that
(i) if the Future Fund Member has Transferred a portion of the Interest it
held as at the Initial Closing Date (other than to a Permitted Transferee),
(a) the Transaction Distribution Amount distributable to the Managing
Member in respect of the Future Fund Member’s retained Interest (including any
portion of such Interest held by a Permitted Transferee) shall be
capped at an amount equal to the product of (1) $18 million
and (2) a fraction the numerator of which is the retained portion of the
Future Fund Member’s Interest (including any portion of such Interest held by a
Permitted Transferee) and the denominator of which is the Future Fund Member’s
Interest held at the Initial Closing Date and (b) for greater certainty,
the Transaction Distribution Amount distributable to the Managing Member in
respect of the portion of the Interest transferred by the Future Fund Member
(other than to a Permitted Transferee) shall not be capped as provided herein,
(ii) if the Future Fund Member’s Invested Capital on a Distribution Date is
less than $600 million, the cap on the Transaction Distribution Amount
distributable to the Managing Member in respect of the Future Fund Member’s
Interest (including any portion of such Interest held by a Permitted Transferee)
shall be reduced by a percentage equal to one minus a fraction, the numerator of
which is the Future Fund Member’s Invested Capital at such Distribution Date and
the denominator of which is the Future Fund Member’s Commitment and
(iii) unless and until the Minimum Condition is achieved, the cap on the
Transaction Distribution Amount distributable to the Managing Member in respect
of the Future Fund Member’s Interest (including any Interest held by a Future
Fund Member’s Permitted Transferee or Affiliate) shall be $3.6
million.
4
(b) The
Managing Member and the Class B Member hereby agree that, solely for the purpose
of calculating Carried Interest distributable to the Class B Member in respect
of the Interest of the Future Fund Member, the Future Fund Member will be deemed
to have made Capital Contributions equal to the cost of funds associated with
the Commitment LC or Commitment Account established in respect of the Interest
of the Future Fund Member in an amount, which amount shall be equal to forty
(40) basis points times (i) the average daily principal balance, if any, on
deposit in the Commitment Account held by the Company in respect of the Interest
of the Future Fund Member or (ii) the average daily outstanding face amount of
the Commitment LC of the Future Fund Member, as applicable, during the period
commencing on the date the Commitment Account was funded or the Commitment LC of
the Future Fund Member was issued to the Company, as applicable, and ending on
the earlier of (x) October 1, 2010, and (y) the date on which the amount on
deposit in the Commitment Account is reduced to zero or the Commitment LC of the
Future Fund Member is fully drawn by the Company or surrendered to the issuing
bank and cancelled, as applicable, computed on the basis of a three hundred
sixty (360) day year and the actual number of days elapsed, compounded monthly
in arrears. Furthermore, the amount, if any, that remains on deposit
in the Commitment Account or the undrawn face amount, if any, of the Commitment
LC of the Future Fund Member, as applicable, on October 1, 2010 shall be deemed
to be Invested Capital contributed by the Future Fund Member to the Company
solely for the purpose of calculating Carried Interest distributable to the
Class B Member in respect of the Interest of the Future Fund
Member.
8. Other Subscription
Agreements. The Managing Member, itself and on behalf of the
Company, hereby represents and warrants that each Subscription Agreement (and
each equivalent subscription agreement entered into by any Parallel Investment
Vehicle, on one hand, and any prospective investor, on the other hand) shall be
substantially similar in all material respects to the Subscription Agreement the
Future Fund Member signed, except as to (a) the amount of Commitment made
thereby, (b) particular additions, deletions or modifications that reflect
any legal or regulatory requirement binding on, or accounting practice or policy
adopted by, any other Non-Managing Member (or an investor in any Parallel
Investment Vehicle), and (c) the content of each prospective investor
questionnaire as completed by any other Non-Managing Member (or an investor in
any Parallel Investment Vehicle).
5
9. Tax Matters
Partner. The Managing Member agrees not to take any action as
the Tax Matters Partner that could reasonably be expected to adversely impact
the Future Fund Member or any of its Tax Affiliates (as defined in
paragraph 30 of this letter agreement) in any material respect, without the
Future Fund Member’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld; provided, that, if
the Future Fund Member or any of its Tax Affiliates would be required to file an
income tax return (other than any return necessary to claim a reduced rate of
tax or any tax treaty benefit) as a result of such action taken by the Managing
Member as the Tax Matters Partner that the Future Fund Member or any of its Tax
Affiliates would not otherwise have been required to file, such requirement will
be considered to adversely impact the Future Fund Member or any of its Tax
Affiliates in a material respect for purposes of this
paragraph 9.
10. Withholding
Taxes.
(a) The
Future Fund Member will provide the Managing Member a valid and properly
executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9 as appropriate (and
applicable accompanying documentation, as necessary) and will ensure that the
Beneficial Member will provide to the Managing Member a valid and properly
executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8EXP claiming an exemption from
U.S. income tax under Section 892 of the Code.
(b) The
Managing Member agrees that, under current law, the Company does not intend to
withhold under Sections 1441 or 1442 of the Code on the Future Fund
Member’s distributive share of any item of income for which the Tax Affiliate
(as defined in paragraph 30 of this letter agreement) is exempt from U.S.
federal income taxation under Section 892 of the Code, provided, that the
Company has received from such Person a valid and properly completed IRS
Form W-8EXP (which has not expired under applicable regulations and/or
instructions) certifying as to its status as a foreign government (and not a
“controlled commercial entity”) prior to the time the Company would otherwise
have to withhold on such item. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Managing Member makes no representation as to the Managing Member’s withholding
obligations if and to the extent that (i) under applicable Code sections,
regulations or instructions, the Managing Member has knowledge or reason to
believe that any information or certifications provided by such Person are
incorrect, (ii) the Managing Member cannot reliably associate the payment
with the documentation provided by such Person, (iii) the item in question
is not exempt from taxation under Section 892 of the Code as reasonably
determined by the Managing Member (including, without limitation, as a result of
being derived from a controlled commercial entity with respect to such Person or
from the conduct of a commercial activity, in each case within the meaning of
Section 892 of the Code and the regulations thereunder) or (iv) there
is a Change in Law that imposes an obligation on the Company to withhold on the
Future Fund Member’s distributive share of any item of income of the Company as
reasonably determined by the Managing Member. For purposes of this
paragraph 10, (i) “Change in Law” means the occurrence, after the date of
this letter agreement, of any of the following: (a) the adoption
or taking effect of any law, rule, regulation or treaty by any Governmental Authority,
(b) any change in any law, rule, regulation or treaty or in the
administration, interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental
Authority or (c) the making or issuance of any request, guideline or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) by
any Governmental Authority and (ii) “Governmental Authority” means the government of the United
States, or of any political subdivision thereof and any agency, authority,
instrumentality, regulatory body, court, central bank or other entity exercising
executive, legislative, judicial, taxing, regulatory or administrative powers or
functions of or pertaining to government thereof.
6
(c) INTENTIONALLY
OMITTED.
(d) The
Managing Member will, to the extent practicable, notify the Future Fund Member
promptly if it determines that the Company is required to withhold any amount
purportedly representing a tax liability to the Future Fund Member or any of its
Tax Affiliates (as defined in paragraph 30 of this letter agreement) and
will (i) consider in good faith any position that such Person raises as to
why withholding is not required or alternative arrangements proposed by such
Person that may avoid the need for withholding and (ii) provide such Person
with the opportunity to contest the requirement to withhold with the appropriate
taxing authority (to the extent permitted by applicable law) during any period
such contest does not subject the Company or the Managing Member to any
potential liability to such taxing authority for any such claimed withholding
and payment.
(e) The
Managing Member, itself and on behalf of the Company, hereby agrees to use its
commercially reasonable best efforts to ensure that the affairs of the Company
are conducted in such a manner that the Company is not engaged in a trade or
business within the United States within the meaning of Sections 871 and 881 of
the Code and does not have any income received directly or indirectly from
commercial activities within the meaning of Section 892 of the
Code. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Managing Member shall use
commercially reasonable best efforts not to cause the Company to do any of the
following without the Future Fund Member’s consent: (i) own any assets other
than Securities of GGP, Debt of GGP, cash and/or cash equivalents; (ii) conduct
activities restricted by the LLC Agreement; or (iii) have any employees; provided, however, that the
Future Fund Member’s consent shall not be required so long as either (A) the
ownership of any assets not described in clause (i) are made through a
subsidiary of the Company classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income
tax purposes, (B) the conduct of any activities not described in clause (ii) are
conducted through a subsidiary of the Company classified as a corporation for
U.S. federal income tax purposes, or (C) the Company has received a written
opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel, on which the Future Fund Member
may rely, to the effect that such ownership of assets or conduct of activities
should not result in the Company being engaged in a trade or business within the
United States within the meaning of Sections 871 and 881 of the Code and should
not result in the Company being engaged in a commercial activity within the
meaning of Section 892 of the Code. The Managing Member agrees that
it will provide prompt written notice to the Future Fund Member as soon as
reasonably practicable after the Managing Member becomes aware that the Future
Fund Member or any of its Tax Affiliates (as defined in paragraph 29 of this
letter agreement) will be deemed to be engaged in the conduct of a trade or
business within the United States for purposes of Sections 871 and 881 of
the Code solely as a result of the activities and investments of the Company or
that the Future Fund Member Tax Affiliates (as defined in paragraph 29 of this
letter agreement) will be deemed to have any income attributable to commercial
activities within the meaning of Section 892 of the Code. In the
event that the Company derives any income, gain or loss that is effectively
connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States
and/or any income from commercial activities that is allocable to the Future
Fund Member or any of its Tax Affiliates (as defined in paragraph 29 of this
letter agreement), the Managing Member will, at the Future Fund Member’s
request, obtain and provide in a timely fashion all necessary and reasonably
available tax-related information concerning the source, character and amount of
such income required for the Future Fund Member or any of its Tax Affiliates (as
defined in paragraph 29 of this letter agreement) to make required tax
filings.
7
11. Returns.
(a) If
the Managing Member is required to make a filing (including a Schedule 13D or
Form 3, 4 or 5 filing or amendment thereto) under the Exchange Act on behalf of
the Company or itself, and if the Managing Member is aware that a Non-Managing
Member may also be required to make a filing under the Exchange Act based on the
circumstances requiring Managing Member's filing on behalf of the Company or
itself, then the Managing Member shall endeavor to provide to the Non-Managing
Member, as soon as reasonably practicable, a draft of any such filing on behalf
of the Company or itself prior to making such filing, and, in addition, shall
provide the Non-Managing Member a copy of such filing as filed within two (2)
business days following such filing.
(b) In
addition to the obligations set forth in this paragraph 11, the Managing Member
and Non-Managing Member agree to provide reasonable cooperation with the other
at the other's request in connection with any such filing.
12. Taxes
Paid.
(a) Notwithstanding
Sections 8.4(a) and 8.4(b) of the LLC Agreement, as modified by this
letter, if (i) the Company receives (or is deemed to receive) a distribution
from GGP (including capital gains dividends and distributions in liquidation of
GGP) that is attributable to gain from sales or exchanges by GGP of United
States real property interests (i.e., a distribution subject
to Section 897(h)(1) of the Code) or (ii) the Company earns income directly
or indirectly from commercial activities of the Company within the meaning of
Section 892 of the Code, then, for purposes of determining the amounts
distributable to the Managing Member pursuant to Section 6.1 of the LLC
Agreement and the provisions of the LLC Agreement that refer to Section 6.1, the
Future Fund Member shall not be treated as having received a distribution equal
to the lower of (x) the amount described in clause (i) or (ii) above multiplied
by thirty-five percent (35%) and (y) the actual amount of tax paid to the
applicable taxing authorities with respect to the amounts described in clause
(i) or (ii); provided, however, that
(I) this paragraph 10(e)(a) shall continue to apply following a change
in rate or with respect to a withholding tax (or similar tax) imposed under any
successor provision to Section 1445 or 1446 of the Code and Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder resulting from a Change in Law, and (II)
clause (ii) of this paragraph 10(e)(a) shall not apply to the extent that
the Beneficial Member is not an “integral part” of a foreign sovereign or a
“controlled entity” of a foreign sovereign that is not a “controlled commercial
entity” (all within the meaning of Section 892 of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder). For the avoidance of doubt, and
not in contravention of paragraph 10(b) of this letter, this
paragraph 10(e)(a) shall not apply with respect to any amounts withheld in
connection with the Redemption Procedures or a liquidation of the Company
(except to the extent attributable to gain from sales or exchanges by GGP of
United States real property interests in connection with a liquidation of
GGP). For purposes of Section 7.4 of the LLC Agreement, all
allocations shall be made without regard to this paragraph.
8
(b) In
the event the Future Fund Member (or the Beneficial Member) reasonably believes
that, or the Managing Member notifies the Future Fund Member that it believes
that it is more likely than not that, any amount of income described in clause
(i) or (ii) in paragraph 10(e)(a) of this letter agreement is not subject
to U.S. federal income tax, the Future Fund Member (or the Beneficial Member, as
applicable) hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to apply for
and obtain a refund of such amounts and the Managing Member shall cooperate with
the Future Fund Member (or the Beneficial Member, as applicable), as reasonably
requested, in applying for or obtaining such refund. The Future Fund
Member (or the Beneficial Member, as applicable) hereby agrees to promptly
notify the Managing Member of such claim for refund no less than five days prior
to filing such claim with the applicable taxing authorities. In the
event the Future Fund Member (or the Beneficial Member, as applicable) receives
an actual refund of any amounts described in clause (i) or (ii) in
paragraph 10(e)(a) of this letter agreement, such amounts shall be treated
as a distribution for purposes of Section 6.1 of the LLC Agreement to the extent
such amounts were previously excluded from amounts deemed distributed for
purposes of Section 6.1 of the LLC Agreement.
13. Withholding Tax Payments and
Obligations.
(a) With
respect to the Future Fund Member, Section 8.4(a) of the LLC Agreement is
restated as follows:
“If the
Company receives proceeds in respect of which a tax has been withheld, the
Company shall be treated as having received cash in an amount equal to the
amount of such withheld tax, and, for all purposes of this Agreement, except as
provided in paragraph 12(a) of the amended and restated letter agreement
(the “Side
Letter”) between The Northern Trust Company (the “Future Fund Member”)
only in its capacity as custodian for the Future Fund Board of Guardians (the
“Beneficial
Member”) and the Company effective as of March 31, 2010, each Member
shall be treated as having received a distribution pursuant to Section 6.1
hereof equal to the portion of the withholding tax allocable to such Member, as
determined by the Managing Member in its reasonable discretion.
(b) With
respect to the Future Fund Member, Section 8.4(b) of the LLC Agreement is
restated as follows:
“Subject
to paragraph 10(b) of the Side Letter, the Company is authorized to withhold
from any payment made to, or any distributive share of, a Member any taxes that
are, in the Managing Member’s reasonable determination, required by law to be
withheld. If, and to the extent, the Company is required to make any
such tax payments with respect to any distributive share of income or gain of a
Member, then such Member’s proportionate share of such distribution or, without
duplication, future distributions shall be reduced by the amount of such tax
payments (which, except as provided in paragraph 12(a) of the Side Letter, tax
payments shall be treated as a distribution to such Member pursuant to Section
6.1 hereof). In the event a portion of a distribution in kind is
retained by the Company pursuant to the prior sentence, such retained in kind
amounts may, in the discretion of the Managing Member, either (A) be distributed
to the other Members, or (B) the Managing Member as agent on behalf of such
Member may sell such retained in kind amounts for the account of such Member
with the Managing Member retaining the amounts necessary to satisfy such tax
payments and remitting any excess to such Member.”
9
(c) With
respect to the Future Fund Member, Section 8.4(d) of the LLC Agreement is
deleted from the LLC Agreement.
(d) With
respect to the Future Fund Member, the following paragraphs shall be added to
the end of Section 8.4(e) of the LLC Agreement (it being understood that no
change to the language currently in Section 8.4(e) is intended):
“The
Managing Member shall provide prompt written notice to the Future Fund
Member after learning of any audit or other proceeding (including a
request for information) involving a Tax Indemnified Party for which the Future
Fund Member has an indemnification obligation under this Section 8.4(e) (a
“Proceeding”);
provided, however, that the
failure to provide such notice shall not release the Future Fund Member from any
of its obligations to indemnify under this Section 8.4(e) unless, and only to
the extent such failure has a material adverse effect on the ability to contest
the claim set forth in the Proceeding. If the Future Fund Member
notifies the Tax Indemnified Party in writing that it wishes to assume the
conduct and control of the settlement or defense of such Proceeding, the Future
Fund Member shall have the right, through tax counsel of its choosing and at its
own expense, to assume such conduct and control of the settlement or defense,
and the applicable Tax Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the
Future Fund Member in connection therewith (including, for example, by signing a
limited power of attorney with respect to such Proceeding); provided, however, that the
Future Fund Member shall thereafter consult with the Managing Member upon the
Managing Member’s reasonable request for consultation from time to time with
respect to such Proceeding and shall not, without the applicable Tax Indemnified
Party’s consent, agree to pay or settle any such Proceeding if such payment or
settlement could adversely affect the applicable Tax Indemnified Party (it being
understood that a monetary payment, including payment in respect of a civil
penalty in existence as of the date of the Side Letter and imposed by the United
States Internal Revenue Service on a standard less than fraud, does not have an
adverse effect on a Tax Indemnified Party). If the Future Fund Member
assumes the conduct and control of such defense or settlement, (i) the Tax
Indemnified Party shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the
defense or settlement thereof and to employ counsel separate from the counsel
employed by the Future Fund Member, at its own expense, and (ii) the Future Fund
Member shall not assert that the claim, or any portion thereof, with respect to
which the Tax Indemnified Party seeks indemnification is not within the ambit of
this Section 8.4(e). So long as the Future Fund Member is reasonably
contesting any Proceeding, the applicable Tax Indemnified Party (or its indirect
owners) shall not pay or settle any such Proceeding without the Future Fund
Member’s consent, which consent may be withheld in the Future Fund Member’s
discretion. If the Future Fund Member advises the Tax Indemnified
Party that it does not wish to control such Proceeding or, within a reasonable
amount of time after the receipt of written notice of such Proceeding, fails to
provide the required notice that it wishes to control the Proceeding, then (i)
the Tax Indemnified Party shall control the settlement or defense of the
Proceeding and retain a nationally recognized law firm to represent the Tax
Indemnified Party in such Proceeding, which counsel shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Future Fund Member, (ii) the Tax Indemnified Party may not
pay, settle, compromise or contest the tax at issue without the Future Fund
Member’s consent, which consent may be withheld in the Future Fund Member’s
discretion acting reasonably and without unreasonable delay and (iii) the Future
Fund Member shall be given the right to participate in such Proceeding, at its
own expense.
10
The
Future Fund Member shall be required to pay to the Tax Indemnified Parties any
amount due with respect to a claim of indemnification pursuant to this Section
8.4(e) promptly upon the first to occur of: (i) a Final Determination having
been reached with respect to the matter that gave rise to such claim for
indemnification; or (ii) the Future Fund Member and the applicable Tax
Indemnified Parties entering into a mutual agreement with respect to the total
amount that is due from the Future Fund Member with respect to such claim for
indemnification. For purposes of this Agreement, “Final
Determination” shall mean: (i) a
determination within the meaning of section 1313(a) of the Code; (ii) a decision, judgment,
decree or other order by the United States Tax Court or any other court of
competent jurisdiction that has become final and unappealable; (iii) a Closing
Agreement under section 7121 of the Code or a comparable provision of federal,
state, local or foreign tax law that is binding against the Internal Revenue
Service; or (iv) any other final settlement with the Internal Revenue
Service. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
(i) if a contest of the applicable taxes shall be conducted in a manner
requiring the payment of the claim, in no event shall such Tax Indemnified Party
be required, or the Future Fund Member be permitted, to contest the imposition
of any tax for which the Future Fund Member is obligated to indemnify pursuant
to this Section 8(e) in such manner unless the Future Fund Member shall have
paid the amount required directly to the appropriate authority or made an
advance of the amount thereof to the applicable Tax Indemnified Parties on an
interest-free basis and (ii) no Tax Indemnified Party shall be required, nor
shall the Future Fund Member be permitted, to appeal any adverse decision to the
U.S. Supreme Court. Any amounts paid or advanced by the Future Fund Member
pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence that are refunded shall
(together with any interest thereon paid by a governmental authority on the
amount refunded) be paid to the Future Fund Member.”
14. Tax
Election. If the Future Fund Member purchases an Interest from
a selling Member, upon request by the Future Fund Member, the Company will make
an election pursuant to Section 754 of the Code.
11

a reasonable period of time). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Managing Member may impose such reasonable restrictions and conditions in
respect of such written tax advice as the Managing Member determines are
necessary or appropriate to preserve any privilege which exists with respect to
such advice.”
17. Tax Status
Representation. The Beneficial Member represents and warrants
that it is (i) an “integral part” of a foreign sovereign or (ii) a
“controlled entity” of a foreign sovereign that is not a “controlled commercial
entity” (all within the meaning of Section 892 of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder).
18. Financial Statements.
The Future Fund Member represents that the Beneficial Member’s fiscal year ends
on June 30th. The
Managing Member hereby agrees to furnish to the Future Fund Member, or cause to
be furnished to the Future Fund Member no later than forty-five (45) days
after the Company’s fiscal quarter ending
June 30: (A) unaudited quarterly financial statements in
respect of the Company referred in to Section 8.1(b)(ii) of the LLC

and the preceding quarter); (B) reports on distributions to the Managing
Member referred to in Section 6.5 of the LLC Agreement; and (C) statements

reasonable efforts to provide to the Future Fund Member no later than forty-five
(45) days after the Company’s fiscal quarter ending June 30 such other
information reasonably available to the Managing Member as shall have been
reasonably requested by the Future Fund Member on or before March 31 of such
year and as is necessary for the preparation of the financial statements of the

expressly agrees and acknowledges that the information and materials provided by

change considerably as the Managing Member submits tax returns and financial
statements based on the fiscal year of the Company.

(a) The
Managing Member, itself and on behalf of the Company, hereby agrees that,
notwithstanding Section 12.4 of the LLC Agreement, but subject to any
applicable restrictions under the Restructuring Proposal, the Future Fund
Member, Beneficial Member and their Affiliates shall be permitted to invest in
voting common shares of GGP following the effective date of the Plan; provided, that the
holdings of the Future Fund Member and the Beneficial Member of such common
shares, together with any holdings of their Affiliates (including any indirect
purchase or disposition, for example, by means of swaps or other derivatives),
shall not exceed three percent (3%) of the aggregate outstanding amount of
such common shares; provided, further, that the
each of the Future Fund Member and the Beneficial Member agrees (i) not to
purchase or dispose of any such common shares if, at the time of such purchase
or disposition, the Person making the applicable investment decision is in
possession of any material non-public information relating to GGP on which it is
prohibited from trading under the Exchange Act; (ii) not to purchase or dispose
of any such common shares unless the Future Fund Member or the Beneficial Member
have determined that such purchase or disposition would not result in a
disgorgement of profits under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act with respect to
any Member other than the Future Fund Member or the Beneficial Member or their
respective Affiliates; (iii) to notify the
Managing Member of such purchase or disposition (including any indirect purchase
or disposition, for example, by means of swaps or other derivatives), as
applicable, and the amount and timing thereof, immediately after such purchase
or disposition, and in any event on the date thereof; (iv) not to sell
“short” any such common shares, unless the Future Fund Member or the Beneficial
Member, as applicable, shall have determined that such “short” sale is permitted
under Section 16(c) of the Exchange Act; (v) to reimburse the Company
for any expenses incurred by the Company or the Managing Member on behalf of the
Company, in connection with any amendment to any filings made on behalf of the
Company pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act; (vi) not to engage
in any acquisition that would require compliance with Regulation 14E of the
Exchange Act with respect to GGP or any of its Affiliates; and (vii) to
vote any common shares held by the Future Fund Member, the Beneficial Member and
their Affiliates at all times in the same manner and in conformance with how the
Company votes its common shares in GGP. References in this paragraph
to any purchase or disposition of common shares of GGP shall be to the purchase
or disposition on a date or within a time period specified by the relevant
party. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 12.4 of the LLC Agreement
and this paragraph 35 apply in respect of the Future Fund Member and any of its
Affiliates only to the extent the Future Fund Member or its Affiliate (as
applicable) is acting as custodian of the Beneficial Member or any Permitted
Transferee.
19
(b) If
GGP (i) enters into an agreement with respect to a restructuring or the
financing thereof with any party other than the Consortium and (ii) such
agreement has been approved by the board of GGP and all interest-holders of GGP
whose approval of such agreement is required under the Plan (or, the court
overseeing the Chapter 11 case confirms that no such interest-holder approval is
required), then the Future Fund Member will automatically be released from its
obligations under Section 12.4 of the LLC Agreement; provided that, in no event, subject to the next
sentence, may the Future Fund Member take any action otherwise restricted under
Section 12.4 of the LLC Agreement if such action would result in the Consortium losing the benefit of
its bid protection pursuant to that certain letter agreement between BAM,
Pershing Square, LP and certain affiliates of Pershing Square, LP, dated as of
February 24, 2010 (any such action, a “Prohibited
Action”). The Managing Member shall, within five (5)
Business Days of deemed receipt of a request in writing by the Future Fund
Member specifying in reasonable detail the action(s) proposed to be taken,
notify the Future Fund Member in writing whether such action, in its reasonable determination, either would
be a Prohibited Action or would not be a Prohibited Action. If the
Managing Member fails to so notify the Future Fund Member within such time
frame, or notifies the Future Fund Member that such proposed action(s)
is not a Prohibited Action, then the
Managing Member and the Company shall not have, and agree not to bring, any
cause of action or claim against the Future Fund Member for a breach of this
paragraph 35(b) in connection with the taking of such
action(s).
20
(c) Subject
to the proviso to paragraph 35(b) above, the Future Fund Member’s

provision of this letter agreement shall be considered severable and if for any
reason any provision or provisions herein are determined to be invalid,
unenforceable or illegal under any existing or future law, such invalidity,
unenforceability or illegality shall not impair the operation of or affect those
portions of this letter agreement which are valid, enforceable and
legal.
48. Enforceability. The

letter agreement, (b) the Class B Member is authorized under its governing
documents and otherwise to execute and deliver this letter agreement and

agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and

among the parties or any of them with respect to the subject matter
hereof.
24

agree that such rights and benefits may be assigned in connection with any
permitted Transfer of the Future Fund Member’s Interest to a Permitted

and on behalf of the Company, and the Class B Member agree that the
parties will enter into or procure the entry into of a new or amended letter

Non-Managing Member, provided that in no event shall the foregoing affect the
Managing Member’s syndication right pursuant to Section 10.7 of the LLC
Agreement.
