NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Newhall Land
and Farming Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned
(collectively, "the Company"). All significant intercompany balances and
transactions are eliminated.
The Company's unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared
substantially in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles used
in the preparation of the Company's annual financial statements. In the opinion
of the Company, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 have been made.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods' amounts to conform to
the current period presentation.
The interim statements are condensed and do not include some of the information
necessary for a more complete understanding of the financial data. Accordingly,
your attention is directed to the footnote disclosures found on pages 25 through
32 of the December 31, 1997 Annual Report to Partners and particularly to Note 2
which includes a summary of significant accounting policies.
Interim financial information for the Company has substantial limitations as an
indicator for the calendar year because:
- - Land sales occur irregularly and are recognized at the close of escrow
or on the percentage of completion basis if the Company has an
obligation to complete certain future improvements and provided profit
recognition criteria are met.
- - Agricultural crops are on an annual cycle and income is recognized upon
harvest. Most major crops are harvested during the fall and winter.
- - Sales of non-developable farmland occur irregularly and are recognized
upon close of escrow provided profit recognition criteria are met.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
The increases and decreases in revenues and income for the three months are
attributable to the following:
For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, revenues totaled $23.8 million and income
totaled $257,000 compared with revenues of $36 million and income of $10.6
million for the first quarter of 1997. The 1997 first quarter results included
the sale of the 208-unit StoneCreek apartment complex which added $18.3 million
to revenues and $12.9 million to income.
RESIDENTIAL HOME AND LAND SALES
The Company generates revenues and income from Valencia residential projects by
selling residential lots to merchant builders and home sales through joint
ventures. Revenues and income are recorded by the Company on residential lot
sales when title is transferred to the merchant builder, who, in turn, builds
homes for sale. The Company also participates in home construction on lots it
owns by establishing joint ventures with builders who have created innovative
new home designs, targeting niche markets unmet by merchant builders. Through
the joint-venture program, the Company recognizes its portion of revenues and
income upon close of escrow to the homebuyer. The Company's participation in
joint ventures enables it to generate increased income as it receives a portion
of the homebuilding profits in return for sharing in the risk of homebuilding,
and in some cases, financing the construction costs.
New home sales in Valencia reached a first quarter 10-year high in 1998, as
merchant builders and the Company's joint ventures sold 170 homes, an increase
of 13 % over home sales in the 1997 first quarter. This represents a 41% share
of new home sales in the Santa Clarita Valley, compared with 38% in the 1997
first quarter.
In a strong real estate market, the Company strategy is to accelerate the pace
of development in Valencia by concentrating on lot sales to merchant builders to
capture demand. As a result, joint-venture home sales will be lower.
Merchant Builder Program
In the 1998 first quarter, 37 residential lots in Valencia NorthPark closed
escrow adding $2.6 million to revenues and $724,000 to income. The current year
first quarter also includes deferred revenues totaling $1.9 million and income
of $603,000 recognized from prior residential lot sales under percentage of
completion accounting. No residential lot sales were completed and no deferred
revenues or income were recognized in the 1997 first quarter.
At March 31, 1998, 445 unimproved residential lots were in escrow for a total
of $12.5 million. This escrow is expected to close in the second quarter. The
Company is experiencing strong demand for residential lots and negotiations are
underway with several builders for large parcels of entitled, unfinished lots.
Currently there are 3,400 approved lots and 7,000 lots remaining in Valencia
that are in various stages of the entitlement process. At March 31, 1997, a
total of 388 residential lots were in escrow.
Joint Venture Program
In the 1998 first quarter, 18 escrow closings at Nouvelle, a joint-venture with
Warmington Homes, contributed $4.0 million to revenues and $351,000 to income.
Cheyenne, a new joint-venture project with EPAC for 166 townhomes, opened during
the 1998 first quarter and, at the end of the quarter, 45 of the 49 homes
released for sale had been reserved. Avignon, also a joint venture with EPAC,
consists of 76 luxury townhomes adjacent to Valencia Country Club. A total of 29
Avignon homes have been released for sale, of which 12 are in escrow and 7 are
reserved. A total of 32 joint-venture homes were in escrow at March 31, 1998.
In the 1997 first quarter, a total of 26 homes in five joint-venture
homebuilding projects closed escrow, contributing $5.4 million to revenues and
$570,000 to income. At March 31, 1997, 24 joint-venture homes were in escrow.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SALES
In the 1998 first quarter, two industrial parcels totaling 3.9 acres closed
escrow, contributing $1.9 million to revenues and $511,000 to income. In
addition, one small industrial building on one-half acre closed escrow as part
of the Company's build-to-suit and build-to-lease program for $720,000, adding
$94,000 to income. After deducting for operating expenses, a net loss of
$559,000 was recorded for the 1998 first quarter.
Demand for industrial land continues to increase as vacancy rates remain at
around 1% in the Company's two industrial/business parks and, at March 31, 1998,
five industrial parcels totaling 53 acres were in escrow for $26.2 million with
closings scheduled during the remainder of the year. Also in escrow is a
build-to-suit facility for $6.3 million on 6.3 acres in Valencia Commerce
Center. An additional 36.7 acres went into escrow on April 7, 1998 for $20.6
million, bringing total industrial acreage expected to be sold this year to a
record of approximately 100 acres.
In 1998, the Company again expects to achieve its goals to absorb between 50 and
100 acres of land and to generate significant new employment. The majority of
activity is in Valencia Commerce Center where prices continue to increase. Land
prices in escrow range between $10.50 and $15.00 per square foot depending on
location and use. This compares with $8.50 per square foot in January, 1996 and
$10.00 per square foot at the end of 1997. With the market for industrial space
strong and interest by industrial developers increasing, the Company is
concentrating most of its industrial activity on land sales and build-to-suit
opportunities, leaving construction of speculative buildings to outside
developers.
In March, 1998, the Company reported that it had entered into an agreement to
sell the 720,000-square-foot Valencia Marketplace for $111 million cash. At the
close of escrow later this year, revenues of approximately $87 million and
income of approximately $32 million will be recognized under percentage of
completion accounting. Additional revenues and income will be recognized as the
center is completed. The sale will represent a significant portion of the
Company's 1998 revenues and income.
Additionally, a 12.6 acre parcel for a senior apartment complex and a .4 acre
site for a restaurant expansion were in escrow at March 31, 1998. Escrow was
cancelled on a 3.8-acre commercial parcel that was in escrow at the end of 1997
and the property is being re-marketed. All escrow closings are subject to market
and other conditions.
Sale of the 208-unit StoneCreek apartment complex contributed $18.3 million to
revenues and $12.9 million to income in the 1997 first quarter. Also completed
during the 1997 first quarter was the sale of a 2.1-acre commercial parcel in
the expanded portion of Valencia Auto Center for $1.5 million, adding $1.0
million to income.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
The Company's community development activities are focused on securing the
necessary governmental land use approvals as well as an intensified strategic
marketing program to support the build-out of Valencia by 2005 and begin the
development of Newhall Ranch, the next new town to be developed on the Company's
12,000 acres west of Valencia. The Company's ability to achieve its goals and
increase the pace of development is contingent upon obtaining the necessary
entitlements or governmental approvals.
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors held a public hearing on the
Company's 24,000-home Newhall Ranch at the end of March, 1998. This hearing
followed unanimous approval of the Specific Plan and zoning changes, along with
the Environmental Impact Report, by Los Angeles County Regional Planning
Commission in December, 1997. No new issues were raised at the latest meeting
and the public hearing will continue on May 26, 1998. Final approval by the
Board of Supervisors is anticipated by the end of this year.
The Environmental Impact Report on the Company's Westridge Golf Course Community
has been released for public review and the first hearing before the Los Angeles
County Regional Planning Commission is scheduled for May. It is anticipated that
the project will go to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors later this
year.
<PAGE> 10
Part I. Financial Information 10.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
A 22% decrease in entitlement-related expenses from the prior year first quarter
is primarily due to final approvals received for several projects in Valencia in
1997 including North Hills, which was sold to Taylor Woodrow in 1997. Additional
approvals received included 458 homes in Decoro Highlands, the next major
development in Valencia's North River planning area, 900 apartments and
single-family attached homes in South River adjacent to Valencia Town Center,
and 1,100 homes in Lago de Valencia, a lake-oriented and the first of several
planned "lifestyle villages."
The Company will continue to focus on obtaining additional residential
entitlements in Valencia to support the accelerated pace of development to meet
forecasted demand. Entitlement efforts for Newhall Ranch are expected to
escalate in 1998 as the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors begins its
review process. Community development expenses in 1998 are expected to increase
by approximately 20% over 1997.
INCOME-PRODUCING PROPERTIES
The Company's commercial portfolio is a relatively stable source of earnings and
cash flow that provides debt capacity to grow the Company and working capital
for continuing operations. For the first three months of 1998, income from the
commercial portfolio increased 31% and revenues increased 21% over the year
earlier quarter. The increase in revenues and earnings resulted from strong
occupancy and rents across the portfolio, and contributions from new industrial,
office, retail and apartment projects. In addition, the absence of depreciation
on Valencia Marketplace in the period, due to its pending sale, contributed to
higher earnings.
Valencia Town Center shopping mall, along with the Company's neighborhood
shopping centers, all recorded strong results. At the 272,000-square-foot River
Oaks shopping center, See's Candy is doubling its size with a long-term lease,
and a Mimi's Cafe will open this spring. Remodeling of this shopping center will
start this summer and completion is expected prior to the holiday shopping
season. NorthPark Village Square is fully leased and undergoing further
expansion to accommodate Rite-Aid, the nation's largest drug store chain, which
will open this fall in 16,700 square feet of space. An additional 5,600 square
feet will be available for other new retailers.
At March 31, 1998, the Company's three apartment complexes had occupancy rates
of 97%, with market rent increases of approximately 12% for new tenants over the
past year. With demand for rental units strong, the Company has announced plans
to more than double its apartment portfolio over the next two years. In total,
over 1,000 apartments are planned in Valencia Town Center, NorthPark and South
River. Grading has commenced on the 210-unit Valencia Town Center apartment
complex, adjacent to Valencia Country Club. The first phase should be available
to rent this fall with completion of the entire complex in the spring of 1999.
Construction is scheduled to start on both Valencia NorthPark and South River
apartments later this year.
Commercial development is focused along Town Center Drive, a mixed-use "main
street" in Valencia Town Center extending west from the regional mall. Two
buildings consisting of 60,000 square feet of retail space and a three-story
parking structure are under construction with completion expected in November.
Leases have been completed with Ann Taylor, Nine West and Zany Brainy.
Along Town Center Drive, the six-story, 250-room Hyatt Valencia Hotel with a
26,000-square-foot conference center is scheduled to open in August.
Construction is progressing on the Company's 127,000-square-foot, six-story
office building for Princess Cruises, which will occupy the top five floors and
accommodate 600 employees moving from its Century City location in November.
Also under construction is a 130,000-square-foot entertainment complex which
will include an IMAX 3-D Theatre, 11 additional Edwards Theater movie screens,
and a Borders bookstore. The complex, scheduled to open in early in 1999, also
will include new restaurants and other retail space. These new additions, along
with another 26,000-square-foot retail/office building that is already 50%
leased and scheduled for completion in November, will join the Spectrum Health
Club that opened last summer.
Revenues and income from the commercial portfolio for the full year are expected
to increase over 1997 due to the completion of several new commercial properties
in 1998 along with high occupancy rates and rents from existing portfolio
properties. The percentage increases will vary depending on when escrow closes
on the sale of Valencia Marketplace.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
VALENCIA WATER COMPANY
Valencia Water Company is a regulated public utility and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company serving approximately 18,000 metered customers in the
Valencia area. Revenues and income from Valencia Water Company declined 6% and
17%, respectively, from 1997 first quarter results due to lower demand for water
as a result of heavy rains.
AGRICULTURAL OPERATIONS
For the 1998 first quarter, agricultural operations, including the Company's
energy operations, recorded a 25% decrease in revenues and a 24% increase in
income. Lower prices in the oil market was the primary contributor to the
revenue decrease while income benefited from expense savings in operations which
more than offset damages expensed because of heavy rains.
Ranch Sales
No sales of farm land were completed during the 1998 or 1997 first quarters.
Revenues and income of $323,000 were recognized in the 1998 first quarter from
the 1996 sale of 539 acres of row crop land at the Suey Ranch. The Company
continues to market the remaining 3,940 acres of the Merced Ranch. In the
interim, the land is being leased at higher, more favorable rates than 1997.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE
A $719,000, or 36%, increase in general and administrative expenses from the
first quarter of 1997 is primarily due to expenses related to the Company's
efforts to secure additional large landholdings for development, training
expenses associated with the planned replacement of the Company's computerized
accounting system and consulting services associated with an improving real
estate market. General and administrative expenses for the year are expected to
increase approximately 20% over 1997 due to the reasons stated above.
EXPENSE FROM UNIT OWNERSHIP PLANS
In the 1998 first quarter, an expense of $400,000 was recorded for increases in
the market price of partnership units in connection with appreciation rights on
outstanding, non-qualified options granted prior to 1992.
INTEREST AND OTHER
An increase in interest capitalized to income portfolio projects under
development, partially offset by a reduction in interest income due to
collection of notes from prior land sales, contributed to a 9% decrease in net
interest expense from the 1997 first quarter. The Company expects net interest
expense to increase in 1998 as new income-producing properties are completed.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 1998, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.5 million and
$157.1 million in available lines of credit to fund development activities.
Borrowings outstanding totaled $32 million against unsecured lines of credit and
$40 million against a mortgage facility. The Company believes it has adequate
sources of cash from operations and debt capacity, including lines of credit, to
finance future operations plus take advantage of new development opportunities.
At March 31, 1998, there was no debt against raw land or land under development
inventories.
There are no material commitments for capital expenditures other than the
Company's plans in the ordinary course of business to develop its portfolio of
income-producing properties. The Company expects to invest up to $100 million in
its commercial portfolio in 1998. Construction of new income-producing
properties on Company-owned land creates additional debt capacity. It is the
Company's policy to limit total debt to approximately 60% of the value of the

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
On March 16, 1998, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement
to sell Valencia Marketplace, a 720,000-square-foot, high-volume retail center,
for $111 million cash with escrow scheduled to close later this year. The
Company expects that funds from the sale will be used to reduce bank debt and to
develop new commercial projects, although the relative amounts to be utilized
for these respective purposes has not yet been determined.
The following discussion relates to principal items in the Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows:
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter of 1998 totaled
$4.3 million and included sales of 55 residential lots and homes, 3.9 acres of
industrial land and an industrial build-to-suit building on .5 acres which
combined provided $9.3 million cash. Expenditures for land under development
inventories and home construction totaled $14.3 million, which was offset by $7
million in real estate cost of sales relief. Inventory expenditures in Valencia
were related to land preparation and infrastructure to ready land for
development or sale and home construction advances for the Company's
homebuilding partnerships. The Company's net homebuilding investment totaled
$15.9 million at March 31, 1998.
Investing Activities
Expenditures for income-producing properties under development in Valencia
totaled $19.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Major
expenditures included: $4.8 million for Valencia Marketplace; $5.2 million for
the 250-room Hyatt Valencia Hotel and 26,000-square-foot conference center; $2.3
million for industrial buildings under the build-to-suit/lease program; $1.8
million for a six-story office building to be occupied by Princess Cruises; and
$3.7 million for various office/retail/entertainment projects in Valencia Town
Center.
Financing Activities
A 22-cent per unit distribution totaling $7.6 million was paid on March 9, 1998.
This distribution represented a 10-cent per unit regular quarterly cash
distribution and a 12-cent per unit special distribution. The declaration of
distributions is reviewed by the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis. The
declaration of any distribution, and the amount declared, is determined by the
Board of Directors taking into account the Company's earnings, financial
condition and prospects.
Borrowings against unsecured lines of credit increased $23.9 million during the
1998 first quarter to $32 million. The increase in borrowings was primarily for
costs associated with income producing projects under development.
INFLATION, RISKS AND RELATED FACTORS AFFECTING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This report and other published reports contain forward-looking statements
regarding the status of proposed or pending sales and rental activity, future
planned development, plus the long-term growth goals for the Company. These
forward-looking statements made in this report are based on present trends the
Company is experiencing in residential, industrial and commercial markets. Also,
the Company's success in obtaining entitlements, governmental and environmental
regulations, timing of escrow closings, expansion of its income portfolio and
marketplace acceptance of its business strategies are among the factors that
could affect results. The following risks and related factors, among others,
should be taken into consideration in evaluating the future prospects for the
Company. Actual results may materially differ from those predicted.
Sales of Real Estate: The majority of the Company's revenues are generated by
its real estate operations. The ability of the Company to consummate sales of
real estate is dependent on various factors, including but not limited to
availability of financing to the buyer, regulatory and legal issues and
successful completion of the buyer's due diligence. The fact that a real estate
transaction has entered escrow does not necessarily mean that the transaction
will ultimately close. Therefore, the timing of sales may differ from that
anticipated by the Company. The inability to close sales as anticipated could
adversely impact the recognition of revenue in any specific period.
Economic Conditions: Real estate development is significantly impacted by
general and local economic conditions which are beyond the control of the
Company. The Company's real estate operations are concentrated in
<PAGE> 13
Part I. Financial Information 13.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Southern California. The regional economy is profoundly affected by the
entertainment, technology and certain other segments, which have been known to
affect the region's demographics. Consequently, all sectors of real estate
development for the Company tend to be cyclical. While the economy of Southern
California has shown improvements recently, there can be no assurances that
present trends will continue.
Interest Rates and Financing: Fluctuations in interest rates and the
availability of financing have an important impact on the Company's performance.
Sales of the Company's projects could be adversely impacted by the inability of
buyers to obtain adequate financing. Further, the Company's real estate
development activities are dependent on the availability of adequate sources of
capital. Certain of the Company's credit facilities bear interest at variable
rates and would be negatively impacted by increasing interest rates.
Competition: The sale and leasing of residential, industrial and commercial real
estate is highly competitive, with competition coming from numerous and varied
sources. The degree of competition is affected by such factors as the supply of
real estate available which is comparable to that sold and leased by the Company
and the level of demand for such real estate. While the Company recently has
continued to increase its market share at both the local and the county level,
new competition is expected to deliver competing projects in the future that
could reverse this trend.
Geographic Concentration: The Company's real estate development activities are
focused on its 20,000 acres in Los Angeles County, 30 miles north of Los
Angeles. The Company's entire commercial income portfolio is located in the
Valencia area. Therefore, any factors affecting that concentrated area, such as
changes in the housing market or environmental factors, including seismic
activity, which cannot be predicted with certainty, could affect future results.
Government Regulation and Entitlement Risks: In developing its projects, the
Company must obtain the approval of numerous governmental authorities regulating
such matters as permitted land uses, density and traffic, and the providing of
utility services such as electricity, water and waste disposal. In addition, the
Company is subject to a variety of federal, state and local laws and regulations
concerning protection of health and the environment. This government regulation
affects the types of projects which can be pursued by the Company and increases
the cost of development and ownership. The Company devotes substantial financial
and managerial resources to complying with these requirements. To varying
degrees, certain permits and approvals will be required to complete the
developments currently being undertaken, or planned by the Company. Furthermore,
the timing, cost and scope of planned projects may be subject to legal
challenges, particularly large projects with regional impacts. In addition, the
continued effectiveness of permits already granted is subject to factors such as
changes in policies, rules and regulations and their interpretation and
application. The ability to obtain necessary approvals and permits for its
projects can be beyond the Company's control and could restrict or prevent
development of otherwise desirable new properties. The Company's results of
operations in any period will be affected by the amount of entitled properties
the Company has in inventory.
Inflation: The Company believes it is well positioned against any effects of
inflation. Historically, during periods of inflation, the Company has been able
to increase selling prices of properties to offset rising costs of land
development and construction. Recently, land values have been improving in
California while costs have remained relatively constant. A portion of the
commercial income portfolio is protected from inflation since percentage rent
clauses in the Company's leases tend to adjust rental receipts for inflation,
while the underlying value of commercial properties has tended to rise over the
long term.

Contingency Period, Purchaser shall advise Seller and Escrow Holder in writing
of Purchaser's allocation of the Purchase Price between the Power/Promotional

execution of this Agreement, Purchaser and Seller shall open escrow ("Escrow")
with American Title Insurance Company's Westlake Office, Attention: Mary
Patterson ("Escrow Holder") by depositing a duplicate, executed original of this
Agreement in accordance with Paragraph 18(a) of this Agreement. Escrow Holder

identified by Escrow Holder as Escrow number 3695-MP. The Subescrow for the
Community Center/Triangle Property is referred to as the "Community
Center/Triangle Escrow" and is identified by Escrow Holder as Escrow number
3696-MP. The Purchase Price shall be paid to Seller by Purchaser as follows:
(a) Initial Deposit. On or before the later of (i) two (2)
business days after Seller advises Purchaser that Seller's Board of
Directors has approved this Agreement or (ii) January 12, 1998,
Purchaser shall deposit in Escrow with Escrow Holder, an earnest money
deposit in the amount of Two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the Purchase
Price, which is equal to Two Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars
($2,800,000) (the "Initial Deposit"). The Initial Deposit paid by
Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof shall be deposited in a trust
account in Escrow, with Escrow Holder, to be held in interest bearing
obligations of the United States Government, in an institutional savings
account, or in such other investments as Purchaser may by written
instrument direct. In lieu of depositing the Initial Deposit in cash
with Escrow Holder, Purchaser may elect to deliver the Initial Deposit
to Escrow Holder, on or before (i) the later of two (2) business days
after Seller advises Purchaser that Seller's Board of Directors has
approved this Agreement or (ii) January 12, 1998, in the form of an
irrevocable standby letter of credit ("LOC") issued by a commercial bank
acceptable to Seller in the amount of the Initial Deposit, with a March
15, 1998, expiration date, naming the Seller as beneficiary and drawable
upon sight draft. Unless Purchaser has either elected to terminate this
Agreement or deposit the Initial Deposit or Deposit in cash with Escrow
Holder on or before the expiration of the Contingency Period, the Escrow
Holder shall deliver the LOC to Seller on the next business day
following expiration of the Contingency Period. Seller shall not draw on
the LOC unless the Contingency Period expires without Purchaser's
termination of Escrow and the total Deposit (as defined below) has not
been released to Seller upon expiration of the Contingency Period. Upon
Seller or Escrow Holder's receipt of the Deposit in cash, the LOC shall
be returned to Purchaser. The commercial bank issuing the LOC shall have
a senior, unsecured debt investment grade rating of "AA" as determined
by Moodys or Standard & Poors and shall have an office in the central
business district of the City of Los Angeles capable of honoring the
presentation of the LOC by Seller.
(b) Additional Deposit. Upon expiration of the Contingency
Period (as defined below), if Purchaser has deposited the Initial
Deposit with Escrow Holder in cash, Purchaser shall deposit with Escrow
Holder an additional deposit (the "Additional Deposit") of Two Million
Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars (representing two and one-half percent (2
1/2%) of the Purchase Price), establishing a total deposit in the amount
of Five Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars (representing five percent
(5%) of the Purchase Price). The Initial Deposit and Additional Deposit
are collectively referred to as the "Deposit." If the Purchaser elects
to deliver an LOC to the Escrow Holder as the form of the Initial
Deposit, then Purchaser shall deposit Five Million Six Hundred Thousand
Dollars (representing five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price) as the
Additional Deposit upon expiration of the Contingency Period. The total
Deposit in the amount of Five
3
<PAGE> 6
Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($5,600,000) shall be released to
the Seller upon the expiration of the Contingency Period and Seller or
Escrow Holder shall then return the LOC, if any, to the Purchaser upon
Seller's receipt of the Deposit.
In the event the purchase and sale of the
Power/Promotional Center Property and Community Center/Triangle Property are
consummated as contemplated hereunder, the Deposit plus all interest accrued
thereon shall be credited to Purchaser against the Community Center/Triangle
Purchase Price upon the close of the Community Center/Triangle Escrow. Interest
shall accrue on the Deposit at a rate of six percent (6%) per annum from the
date the Deposit is received by the Seller through the earlier of the date of
Closing of the Community Center/Triangle Escrow or the date the Deposit is
returned to the Purchaser, as applicable. In the event the purchase and sale of
the Power/Promotional Center Property or Community Center/Triangle Property is
not consummated because of the failure of any Condition Precedent or any other
reason except for a default under this Agreement on the part of Purchaser, the
Deposit plus all interest accrued thereon shall be immediately refunded to
Purchaser. In the event the purchase and sale of the Power/Promotional Center
Property or Community Center/Triangle Property is not consummated because of a
default under this Agreement on the part of Purchaser, the Deposit shall be paid
to and retained by Seller together with all interest accrued thereon in
accordance with Article 16 (Default).

shall deposit the Power/Promotional Center Purchase Price with Escrow
Holder in cash or immediately available federal funds at least one (1)

shall deposit the balance of the Community Center/Triangle Purchase
Price (in excess of the Deposit released to Seller and accrued interest
credited to Purchaser) with Escrow Holder in cash or immediately
available federal funds at least one (1) business day prior to the
Community Center/Triangle Closing Date (as defined in Article 14).
4. TITLE
Prior to the execution of this Agreement or as soon
thereafter as is reasonably possible, Seller shall cause Chicago Title Insurance
Company of California (the "Title Company") to deliver to Purchaser a current,
standard coverage preliminary title report on the Property (the "PTR") issued by
the Title Company, together with copies of all documents relating to the title
exceptions referred to in such PTR. Purchaser shall have the right to request
that the Title Company issue a separate PTR for the Power/Promotional Center
Property and a separate PTR for the Community Center/Triangle Property. During
the Contingency Period, Purchaser shall have the right to obtain, at Purchaser's
expense, a current survey of the Real Property sufficient to enable the Title
Company to issue an ALTA owner's policy of title insurance (the "Survey"),
showing lot lines and monuments, building lines, easements both burdening and
benefiting the Real Property, utilities, including water and sewer lines to the
point of connection with the public system, the Improvements (including loading
docks and parking spaces), encroachments, if any, on the Real Property.
Purchaser shall have the right to obtain, at
4
<PAGE> 7
Purchaser's expense, a separate survey for the Power/Promotional Center and
Community Center/Triangle during the Contingency Period.
Purchaser shall notify Seller of any disapproved title
exceptions within the Contingency Period (as defined below). All other title
exceptions set forth in the PTR, the printed exclusions contained in a standard
ALTA Owner's Policy of Title Insurance, the Declaration of Restrictions and
Grant of Easements dated as of September 6, 1994 ("REA"), and the Supplemental
Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for the Property
substantially in the form approved by Purchaser during the Contingency Period
and to be attached hereto as Exhibit "D" which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (as the same may be amended prior
to the Power/Promotional Center Closing Date, collectively, the "CC&Rs") shall
constitute the "Permitted Encumbrances." Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in the preceding sentence, Seller shall remove any monetary
encumbrance affecting the applicable Property voluntarily placed or permitted to
be placed on the applicable Property by Seller prior to the applicable Closing
Date (as defined in Article 14). Prior to the expiration of the Contingency
Period, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of any disapproved exceptions
or survey matters which Seller is unable to cause to be removed or
satisfactorily insured against and Purchaser shall then, within seven (7) days
thereafter, elect, by giving written notice to Seller and Escrow Holder, (i) to
terminate this Agreement, or (ii) to waive its disapproval of such exceptions or
survey matters (such exceptions or survey matters shall then be deemed to be
"Permitted Encumbrances"). In the event Purchaser elects to terminate this
Agreement as a result of Purchaser's disapproval of title, this Agreement shall
become null and void with no further obligation on the part of either party and
any money or documents in Escrow or LOC deposited with Escrow Holder shall be
returned to the party depositing the same, except that Purchaser's indemnity
obligations shall survive any such termination of this Agreement.
Purchaser hereby acknowledges that title to the Property
will be transferred subject to the CC&R's that will, among other things, (i)
require that Purchaser maintain and operate the Property as a first-class
shopping center, as defined in the CC&R's, and maintain and replace landscaping
in accordance with the approved landscaping plan for Valencia Marketplace; (ii)
prohibit Purchaser from changing the name of the Property from "Valencia
Marketplace"; (iii) obligate the Purchaser to maintain the Property and all
signage for the Property in accordance with the Valencia Marketplace Signage
Guidelines and Valencia Marketplace Design Guidelines; and (iv) provide for
reciprocal easements between the Power/Promotional Center Property and Community
Center/Triangle Property. Any variance from the Valencia Marketplace Signage
Guidelines or Valencia Marketplace Design Guidelines will require the approval
of the Seller's Architectural Review Committee. The CC&R's will have an initial
term of fifty (50) years from the date of the Power/Promotional Center Closing
and shall be subject to Purchaser's review and approval during the Contingency
Period, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed.

As used in this Agreement, "to the best of Seller's knowledge" or "to the

governmental authorities, or any other person or entity with respect to the

shall not create or give rise to any liability of or against Seller. Such
representation and warranty shall not merge into any instrument or conveyance
delivered at the applicable Closing.

if at all, of the matters reviewed by Purchaser in its due diligence, by written
notice delivered to Seller and Escrow Holder prior to the expiration of the
Contingency Period. Purchaser's failure to disapprove any such matters within

This Agreement shall terminate upon Purchaser's disapproval, if at all, of
Purchaser's due diligence within the Contingency Period. In no event shall
Purchaser have the right to disapprove any such item after the expiration of the
Contingency Period unless there has been a material adverse change in any such

9. COVENANTS OF SELLER
Seller hereby covenants with Purchaser, as follows:
(a) Rent Subsidy:
(i) Seller is responsible for marketing (including
leasing commissions agreed to by Seller) and leasing the remaining space
on the Property or to be built pursuant to Paragraph 9(b) below, at
rental rates on an aggregate, annualized basis based upon monthly rental
payments consistent with the aggregate, annualized rental income
projected for the Property in that certain pro-forma ("Project
Pro-Forma") dated December 29, 1997 which has been provided to
Purchaser, and which is attached hereto as Exhibit "H". The total
annualized rent based upon the monthly rental rate for all space leased
between now and the applicable Closing will be compared to the total,
annualized Project Pro-Forma rent based upon the rental rate for those
spaces. In the event the actual, aggregate annualized rent based upon
monthly rental payments under leases executed between January 1, 1998,
and the Community Center/Triangle Closing Date ("New Leases") is less
than the Project Pro-Forma, aggregate annualized rent for such space,
Seller shall have the option to (A) have such difference for any New
Lease (based upon the average effective rent for the first half of the
Lease Term for any such New Lease) capitalized at 8.28% to determine the
credit Purchaser will be entitled to receive on the final Escrow Closing
statement for the Community Center/Triangle Closing or (B) subsidize the
rent payable under any such New Lease during the term of the Rent
Subsidy Agreement for any such space until the earlier of (1) the date
the annualized rent payable under such New Lease based upon monthly rent
payments is greater than or equal to the Project Pro-Forma rent for such
space or (2) the date Seller is released from liability under the Rent
Subsidy Agreement as set forth below. Purchaser shall have the right to
approve the terms of New Leases, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Purchaser hereby approves
the new tenant prospects identified on Schedule 9. If the actual,
aggregate annualized rent, including percentage rent and increases in
minimum rent, based upon monthly rental payments under the New Leases
(other than New Leases for which Seller has exercised its option under
clause 9(a)(i)(A) above) and payments of percentage rent under Existing
Leases and New Leases for which Seller has exercised its option under
clause 9(a)(i)(A) above is greater than the Project Pro-Forma, aggregate
annualized rent for such space, Seller shall have the right at Seller's
election to receive a credit against (thereby reducing) its obligations
under the Rent Subsidy Agreement (as defined below) or receive a credit
against the Vons' existing lease rental payments specified in
Subparagraph 9(a)(iii) below. The term of New Leases shall not be less
than five (5) years for in-line shop space and pad space as shown on the
Site Plan attached hereto as Exhibit "G". The term of New Leases for
in-line, Major Tenant space (greater than 10,000 square feet) shown on
the Site Plan shall not be less than ten (10) years.
14
<PAGE> 17
(ii) With respect to space which is vacant or not
yet producing rental income at the Power/Promotional Center Closing or
Community Center/Triangle Closing, Seller will enter into a mutually
agreed upon rent subsidy agreement ("Rent Subsidy Agreement") with
Purchaser for the applicable Property at rental rates equal to the
Project Pro-Forma rental rate less any credit that Seller is entitled to
receive for New Leases as specified in Subparagraph 9(a)(i) above.
Purchaser and Seller shall agree upon the form of the Rent Subsidy
Agreement during Purchaser's Contingency Period. Seller will pay rent to
Purchaser under a Rent Subsidy Agreement on a monthly basis. Seller will
also pay monthly (except as provided otherwise) its pro rata share of
common area expenses (including taxes (which will be paid semiannually
and shall not include any increases in taxes resulting from a change in
ownership of Purchaser or a transfer of any interest in the Property by
Purchaser), insurance and maintenance, and property management fees up
to the lesser of the management fee payable under Purchaser's property
management agreement or an administration fee based upon 10% of common
area expenses. Seller's pro rata share shall equal a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of leasable square feet from time to
time subject to the Rent Subsidy Agreement and the denominator of which
is the number of leasable square feet in the Power/Promotional Center
Property, Community Center/Triangle Property or Property, as applicable.
Seller's pro rata share of common area expenses under the Rent Subsidy
Agreement will be prorated on a daily basis in a manner consistent with
the proration provisions set forth in Article 13 of this Agreement,
including proration of Seller's pro rata share of supplemental taxes
relating to construction of new improvements after the applicable
Closing Date. During the term of a Rent Subsidy Agreement, Seller will
have the right to find replacement tenants and cause Purchaser to enter
into leases with such tenants ("Post-Closing Leases") for any or all
space that is subject to a Rent Subsidy Agreement. Seller shall have the
right to redemise each pad space and the in-line space U-2 (as
identified on the Site Plan) into up to three (3) separately demised
premises as long as each separately demised premises is greater than or
equal to 800 leasable square feet. Seller shall also have the right to
redemise in-line spaces G and H (as identified on the Site Plan) into up
to six (6) separately demised premises in the aggregate as long as each
separately demised premises within spaces G and H is not less than 1,000
leasable square feet. Seller shall also have the right to redemise Major
Tenant space O (as identified on the Site Plan) into up to two (2)
separately demised premises as long as each separately demised premises
is greater than or equal to 15,000 square feet. Post-Closing Leases
shall be subject to Purchaser's approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Seller's obligations
under a Rent Subsidy Agreement will be automatically reduced by: (i) the
annualized rent based upon the monthly rental rate payable on the rent
commencement date under the Post-Closing Leases once rent commences;
(ii) the annualized rent based upon the monthly rental rate which is
subsequently payable on the rent commencement date under any New Leases
(other than for those New Leases for which and from the date on which
Seller makes its election to provide Purchaser with a credit against the
Community Center/Triangle Purchase Price pursuant to clause 9(a)(i)(A)
above), once rent commences to the extent such space is included within
a Rent Subsidy Agreement; (iii) the amount of Seller's obligation under
the Rent Subsidy Agreement for any space under any New Lease for which
Seller has elected to provide Purchaser with a credit against the
Community Center/Triangle Purchase Price pursuant to clause 9(a)(i)(A)
above; (iv) percentage rent actually paid
15
<PAGE> 18
under Existing Leases in excess of the Project Pro-Forma rent for such
space and percentage rent actually paid under New Leases (for which
Seller has elected to provide Purchaser with a credit against the
Community Center/Triangle Purchase Price pursuant to clause 9(a)(i)(A)
above); and (v) increases in annualized rent payable under New Leases
(other than New Leases for which Seller has elected to provide Purchaser
with a credit against the Community Center/Triangle Purchase Price
pursuant to clause 9(a)(i)(A) above) and Post Closing Leases above the
monthly rental rate for any such Post Closing Lease or New Lease that
Seller previously received credit for under this Agreement once such
increase takes effect (including percentage rent that is actually paid
under any such New Leases and Post-Closing Leases). Seller shall be
automatically released from all liability under a Rent Subsidy Agreement
upon the earlier to occur of (i) when aggregate annualized rent
(including any percentage rent and increases in minimum rent above
Project Pro-Forma) based upon: (A) the monthly rental rate payable under
the Post-Closing Leases and New Leases (other than New Leases for which
Seller has elected to provide Purchaser with a credit against the
Community Center/Triangle Purchase Price pursuant to clause 9(a)(i)(A)
above) after the rent commencement date (to the extent applicable) plus
(B) percentage rent above Project Pro-Forma rent that is actually paid
under Existing Leases; plus (C) percentage rent that is actually paid
under New Leases for which Seller has elected to provide Purchaser with
a credit against the Community Center/Triangle Purchase Price pursuant
to clause 9(a)(i)(A), is greater than or equal to the aggregate
annualized rent set forth in the Project Pro-Forma for such space less
any credits that Seller is entitled to receive for any New Leases
pursuant to subparagraph 9(a)(i) above; or (ii) Seller has satisfied its
construction obligation under Paragraph 9(b) and all Major Tenant space
and 90% of the remaining space initially subject to a Rent Subsidy
Agreement has been leased pursuant to New Leases and Post-Closing Leases
that have been approved by Purchaser and Seller has elected to pay
Purchaser and pays Purchaser within thirty (30) days after Seller's
election an amount equal to the sum of: (a) the quotient obtained by
dividing the difference between the aggregate annualized rent payable
under Post-Closing Leases and New Leases for which Seller has not
elected to provide Purchaser with a credit against the Community Center/
Triangle Purchase Price pursuant to clause 9(a)(i)(A) above and
aggregate annualized rent for such space under the Project Pro-Forma by
8.28% plus (b) the cost of Landlord's building Standard Landlord's Work
that has not been built for unleased space plus (c) a leasing commission
of 5% of the Project Pro-Forma rent based upon a five (5) year
hypothetical lease term for the unleased space up to a maximum amount of
Four Dollars ($4.00) per square foot. The applicable term of a Rent
Subsidy Agreement will be three (3) years from the applicable Closing
Date with respect to in-line shop space as shown on the Site Plan and
ten (10) years from the applicable Closing Date with respect to pads and
in-line Major Tenant space as shown on the Site Plan. In no event will
Seller be responsible for the performance of Tenants under New Leases,
Post-Closing Leases or Existing Leases. Unless Purchaser agrees
otherwise, Seller agrees that it will not enter into New Leases or
Post-Closing Leases with terms of less than five (5) years for in-line
shop space and pad space and less than ten (10) years for in-line, Major
Tenant space. For purposes of exercising Purchaser's approval rights
with respect to New Leases and Post-Closing Leases, Purchaser shall be
deemed to have approved each New Lease and Post-Closing Lease unless
Purchaser disapproves it in writing by delivering written notice to
Seller of such disapproval within five (5) business days after receipt
of Seller's request for approval. If Purchaser elects to disapprove the
terms of any New Lease or Post-Closing Lease, Purchaser shall specify
the reasons for its disapproval in writing within any such five (5)
business day period, together with a written explanation of what steps
need to be taken to obtain Purchaser's approval of any such New Lease or
Post-Closing Lease.
16
<PAGE> 19
Purchaser shall execute all Post-Closing Leases that have been approved
or deemed approved by Purchaser within five (5) business days after
receipt of written request from Seller and shall execute an amendment to
the applicable Rent Subsidy Agreement reducing Seller's obligation under
the Rent Subsidy Agreement with respect to the space subject to any such
Post-Closing Lease within the same five (5) business day period and for
New Leases for which Seller has elected to provide Purchaser with a
credit against the Community Center/Triangle Purchase Price pursuant to
clause 9(a)(i)(A) above, Purchaser shall execute an amendment to the
Rent Subsidy Agreement to eliminate such space from the Rent Subsidy
Agreement at the Community Center/Triangle Closing. Upon execution of
any such Post-Closing Lease and the request of any Tenant that is a
national or regional chain store tenant or that is leasing at least
5,000 square feet of rentable area or is ground leasing a pad under any
such Post-Closing Lease and/or the request of a leasehold lender of any
Tenant under a Post-Closing Lease that is a ground lease, Purchaser
shall cause its lender to execute a non-disturbance agreement reasonably
acceptable to Purchaser's lender and the Tenants under any such
Post-Closing Lease or the leasehold lender of any such Tenant, as
applicable, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a Tenant's request
for execution of any such non-disturbance agreement. Additionally, if
any other Tenant refuses to execute a Post-Closing Lease unless
Purchaser's lender executes a nondisturbance agreement, Purchaser shall
request and exercise due diligence to cause its lender to execute a
non-disturbance agreement reasonably acceptable to any such Tenant and
Purchaser's lender within forty-five (45) days after Seller advises
Purchaser in writing that any such other Tenant is insisting on a
non-disturbance agreement as a condition to execution or the
effectiveness of a Post-Closing Lease. If any Tenant under a
Post-Closing Lease terminates or refuses to execute the Post-Closing
Lease because of Purchaser's failure or delay in executing a
Post-Closing Lease, amendment to the Rent Subsidy Agreement and/or
non-disturbance agreement required by this Agreement, Seller shall be
released from all liability under the Rent Subsidy Agreement with
respect to the space subject to any such Post-Closing Lease from the
date Purchaser was required to execute any such Post-Closing Lease or
amendment to the Rent Subsidy Agreement. If any Tenant terminates a
Post-Closing Lease because of Purchaser's lender's refusal to execute
any nondisturbance agreement that Purchaser is obligated to cause its
lender to execute under this Agreement, Seller shall be released from
all liability under the Rent Subsidy Agreement with respect to the space
subject to any such Post-Closing Lease from the date any such Tenant
terminates a Post-closing Lease as a result of any such lender's refusal
to execute any such required non-disturbance agreement for any such
Post-Closing Lease. Additionally, Seller's obligation under the Rent
Subsidy Agreement shall also be reduced by the amount of lost or delayed
rental occurring under any Post-Closing Lease as a result of a delayed
rent commencement date related to Purchaser's delay in executing a
Post-Closing Lease or any such lender's delay in executing any such
nondisturbance agreement beyond the period permitted by this Agreement.
(iii) Seller will pay on a monthly basis the
difference in the rental rate included in the Project Pro-Forma for the
tenant "Vons" from the actual rent payable by Vons under Vons' Existing
Lease with Seller until the earlier to occur of (i) the date the rental
rate under Vons' Existing Lease is scheduled to increase (October 28,
2000), or (ii) the date the actual rental payable under the Vons
Existing Lease is increased to the same rental rate for such space
specified in the Project Pro-Forma. Seller shall have the right to use
any excess rent payable under New Leases (other than New
17
<PAGE> 20
Leases for which Seller has elected to provide Purchaser with a credit
against the Community Center/Triangle Purchase Price pursuant to clause
9(a)(i)(A) above), and Post-Closing Leases and actual payments of
percentage rent under Existing Leases in excess of the Project Pro-Forma
rent for such space and percentage rent that is actually paid under New
Leases for which Seller has elected to provide Purchaser with a credit
against the Community Center/Triangle Purchase Price pursuant to clause
9(a)(i)(A) above, to satisfy its obligation with respect to Vons'
Existing Lease outlined in this Paragraph.
(iv) Attached hereto as Exhibit "J" are hypothetical
examples of the calculation of Seller's rent subsidy obligations under a
Rent Subsidy Agreement and possible credits to Purchaser for deficits in
annualized rental income.
(b) Construction Completion. Except as provided otherwise
in Paragraph 10(b) (Paseo Bridge) below and Paragraph 9(a) above, Seller
will be responsible for substantially completing construction of the
gross leasable area (collectively, as it may be modified in accordance
with this Agreement, the "New Space") on the Real Property within the
building set-back areas, as depicted on the Site Plan (as attached
hereto as Exhibit "G") until the earlier of (i) substantial completion
of construction as evidenced by temporary certificate(s) of occupancy or
their equivalent or Tenants' acceptance of possession of premises under
New Leases and Post-Closing Leases or evidenced by certificates of
substantial completion issued by the contractor and project architect
for space that is completed but not subject to a New Lease or
Post-Closing Lease; or (ii) the date when the aggregate annualized rent
actually being paid under New Leases and Post-Closing Leases based upon
the monthly rental payments is greater than or equal to the annualized
rent payable under the Project Pro-Forma for such space less any credits
that Seller is entitled to receive for such New Leases under
subparagraph 9(a)(i) above, subject to any written modifications agreed
upon by both Purchaser and Seller. Seller shall construct the New Space
lien-free and substantially in accordance with plans and specifications
that are consistent with the Valencia Marketplace Design Guidelines and
that have been approved by the Valencia Marketplace Architectural Review
Committee and the County of Los Angeles. The New Space shall be of the
same quality of construction and shall be architecturally compatible
with the Improvements currently existing on the Property. Seller shall
cause its general contractor to name Purchaser as an additional insured
on the contractor's general commercial liability policy and builder's
"all-risk" course of construction insurance policy. Seller will assign
to Purchaser, without recourse, all Plans and contractors and
manufacturers' warranties for the New Space. Seller reserves the right
to change the configuration of the Site Plan for the Power/Promotional
Center and Community Center/Triangle to the extent permitted by
applicable law and the terms of Existing Leases and any New Leases and
Post-Closing Leases, subject to the consent of the Purchaser which shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Purchaser agrees
that Seller shall have the right to reduce the aggregate leasable area
of the New Space to be built as long as the aggregate annualized rent
payable under the New Leases and Post-Closing Leases based upon monthly
rental payments is greater than or equal to the annualized rent payable
under Project Pro-Forma. Completion of construction of the Property, the
Power/Promotional Center or Community Center/Triangle shall not be a
Condition Precedent to the Closing of either the
18
<PAGE> 21
Power/Promotional Center Escrow or Community Center/Triangle Escrow.
Seller will complete construction of the Property in accordance with the
obligations of the landlord under any New Leases and Post-Closing
Leases, including funding any tenant improvement allowances, if any,
required by the New Leases and Post-Closing Leases, but in any event
will substantially complete the basic building shells (and the
landlord's standard work under Seller's standard work letter agreement,
the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "I", for any portion of
the New Space that is completed and not subject to a Post-Closing Lease
or New Lease) for New Space subject to a Rent Subsidy Agreement prior to
two (2) years after the applicable Closing Date for the in-line, shop
space and three (3) years after the applicable Closing Date for the pad
spaces and in-line Major Tenant space. Seller shall assign, without
recourse, to Purchaser all Plans and construction and manufacturers'
warranties, if any, related to such construction of the New Space and
shall cooperate with Purchaser in enforcing any such construction and
manufacturers' warranties. Seller shall cause the Title Company to issue
the Title Policies for the Power/Promotional Center Property and
Community Center/Triangle Property without any mechanic's lien exception
resulting from Seller's performance of its construction obligations
under this paragraph. During the Contingency Period, Seller and
Purchaser shall agree upon a budget of the estimated cost per square
foot of completing the New Space by Seller. During the Contingency
Period, Seller shall have the right to negotiate with Purchaser's lender
and the applicable rating agencies to agree upon an acceptable form of
assurance that Seller will substantially complete the New Space in
accordance with Seller's obligations under this Agreement. Purchaser and
Seller agree that an acceptable form of assurance will be the deposit of
the estimated cost of substantially completing the New Space that has
not been completed by Seller as of the applicable Closing Date in
interest bearing investments for the benefit and account of Seller with
a commercial bank reasonably acceptable to the rating agencies, Seller
and Purchaser's lender subject to a security interest in favor of
Purchaser's lender and escrow instructions that permit the monthly
disbursement of funds to Seller as construction of the New Space
progresses and the release of Purchaser's lender's security interest and
the disbursement of the balance of funds to Seller once Seller's
construction obligations have been completed in accordance with this
Agreement.
(c) Prior to the applicable Closing Date, Seller shall not
accept from any of the Tenants of the applicable Property, payment of
rent or other charges more than one month in advance or apply any
security deposit to rent due from any Tenant without the consent of
Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. At the applicable Closing, the security deposit provided for
under each of the Existing Leases and New Leases shall be credited to
Purchaser and no Tenant or any other party shall have any claim (other
than for customary refund during the term of the Lease or at the
expiration of a Lease) to all or any part of any security deposit.
(d) At all times prior to the Closing Date of the
applicable Property, Seller shall operate and manage the applicable
Property in the same manner as Seller has operated and managed the
Property prior to the date hereof, maintaining present services, and
shall maintain the applicable Property in current repair and working
order, shall keep on hand sufficient materials, supplies, equipment and
other personal property for the efficient operation and management of
the applicable Property in the same manner as
19
<PAGE> 22
Seller has operated and managed the Property prior to the date hereof;
provided, however, Seller shall have no liability under the foregoing
covenant to the extent the obligations contained in such covenant have,
pursuant to the Leases been delegated to the Tenants and Seller shall
have no liability under the foregoing covenant with respect to the
Power/Promotional Center Property after the Power/Promotional Center
Closing Date. Except as otherwise provided herein, Seller shall deliver
the applicable Property at the applicable Closing Date in substantially
the same condition as it was in on the date hereof, reasonable wear and
tear excepted, and shall not terminate the Contracts listed on the
exhibit to the Assignment of Contracts and shall not amend Existing
Leases or New Leases (other than terminations as a result of
non-performance by a Tenant and to grant rent concessions that expire
prior to the applicable Closing Date) prior to the applicable Closing
Date without Purchaser's consent, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. None of the Personal Property, if any,
shall be removed from the Real Property, unless replaced by Personal
Property of equal or greater utility and value.
If Purchaser does not elect to accelerate the Community
Center/Triangle Closing to occur on the same date as the Power/Promotional
Center Closing Date and if Purchaser elects to terminate Seller's property
manager as the property manager of the Power/Promotional Center Property prior
to the Community Center/ Triangle Closing Date, Purchaser shall comply with the
following covenants until the Community Center/Triangle Closing Date: (i)
Purchaser shall provide Seller with at least thirty (30) days notice of
Purchaser's intent to terminate Seller's property manager and any service
Contracts; (ii) Purchaser shall replace Seller's property manager with an

Angeles County reasonably acceptable to Seller (Seller hereby approves DSB as an
acceptable replacement property manager); (iii) Purchaser shall cause its
property manager to operate and manage the Power/Promotional Center Property in
the same manner (or better) as Seller has operated and managed the
Power/Promotional Center Property prior to the Power/Promotional Center Closing
Date, maintaining the present level of services and the current working order
with sufficient materials, supplies, equipment and other personal property for
the efficient operation and management of the Power/Promotional Center Property;
(iv) Purchaser's property manager shall not charge a property management fee in
excess of the lower of (a) the property management fee charged by Seller's
property manager or (b) the property management fee permitted by Existing
Leases; (v) Purchaser and its property manager shall not increase the common
area expenses (other than an increase in real property taxes resulting from the
sale of the Power/Promotional Center Property or the construction of New Space
by Seller) as a result of the termination of Seller's property manager or
termination of any of Seller's service Contracts; (vi) Purchaser shall cause its
property manager to cooperate with Seller and its property manager in
reconciling and billing tenants for common area expenses and in prorating rent
and expenses under Article 13 of this Agreement and the Rent Subsidy
Agreement(s); and (vii) Purchaser or its property manager shall maintain
commercial general liability insurance, naming Seller, as an additional insured,
in amounts and with insurance companies reasonably acceptable to Seller, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Rent

additional insureds under the commercial general liability insurance policy
required by the Rent Subsidy Agreement in amounts and with insurance companies
reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Seller.

(e) Except for the recordation of an amendment to the
CC&Rs, after the date hereof and prior to the applicable Closing Date,
no part of the applicable Property, or any interest therein, will be
alienated, liened, encumbered or otherwise transferred.
(f) Upon Purchaser's reasonable request, for a period of
three (3) years after the applicable Closing Date, Seller shall make all
of Seller's records (to the extent available and not destroyed in the
normal course of Seller's business) with respect to the Property
available to Purchaser during reasonable times for inspection and
copying only for the purpose of making proration adjustments, verifying
sales report information, and resolving disputes with Tenants or third
party contractors.
(g) Prior to applicable Closing Date, Seller shall
promptly notify Purchaser of any event or circumstance which makes any
representation or warranty of Seller to Purchaser under this Agreement
materially untrue or materially misleading, or any covenant of Seller
under this Agreement incapable of being performed; provided, however,
Seller shall have no obligation hereunder to make any independent
investigation of such changed conditions, events or circumstances, but
Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to
Article 5 hereof upon receipt of notice of any such material adverse
event or material adverse fact after expiration of the Contingency
Period, but prior to the Power/Promotional Center Closing and Purchaser
shall have the right to terminate the Community Center/Triangle upon
receipt of notice of any such material adverse event or material adverse
fact after the Power/Promotional Center Closing if Seller fails or is
unable to correct any such material adverse event or fact on or before
the Outside Closing Date for the Community Center Triangle Closing.
(h) Prior to the applicable Closing Date, Seller shall
maintain its current insurance for the applicable Property (including
Seller's existing replacement cost coverage) and shall pay all such
expenses incurred prior to the applicable Closing Date in the ordinary
course.
The foregoing covenants shall not be merged into any instrument
or conveyance delivered at the applicable Closing. Purchaser's right to make a
claim against Seller for a breach of the foregoing covenants (during the periods
for which said covenants were to be performed) shall survive the applicable
Closing Date for a period of eighteen (18) months, except that Seller's
covenants under paragraph (a) shall survive for the term or earlier termination
of the Rent Subsidy Agreement and Seller's covenants under paragraph (b) shall
survive for the earlier of (i) four (4) years after the applicable Closing Date;
or (ii) one (1) year after substantial completion of construction of the

limitations which would otherwise apply. In the event that, prior to the
applicable Closing Date, Purchaser receives notice of any information which
indicates that any of the foregoing covenants has been breached, Purchaser shall
promptly notify Seller in writing of such information. Purchaser shall be deemed
to have waived such covenant to the extent Purchaser fails to notify Seller of
such information pursuant to the preceding sentence and thereafter consummates
the transaction contemplated hereby.

10. COVENANTS OF PURCHASER
(a) Annexation. Purchaser shall covenant, in a recorded
instrument, not to vote in favor of, lobby for, enter into any agreement
to or take any steps to facilitate or promote the annexation or
incorporation of all or any portion of the Property into any city,
municipal entity, owner's association or special improvement or
assessment district, except if Purchaser is required to do otherwise by
applicable law as determined by the final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction or as a result of Seller's failure to defend and
indemnify Purchaser against a claim that this covenant is a violation of
applicable law. Upon the request of Seller, Purchaser shall (i) vote
against any such annexation, incorporation, formation or agreement or
(ii) vote in favor of or approve any such annexation, incorporation,
agreement or formation to the extent permitted by applicable law. Seller
shall defend (with counsel chosen by Seller in its sole discretion),
indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any claims asserted by any
such city, homeowners' association, other person or public entity
(including any attorneys' fees or court costs awarded to any city,
public entity, other person or homeowners' association, as the
prevailing party) as a result of complying with Seller's request.
Upon receipt of actual notice of any demand, assertion, action or
proceeding related to or connected with in any manner any such annexation,
incorporation, formation or agreement, Purchaser shall give notice in writing to
Seller of the claim immediately. The notice shall include a description of the
claim in reasonable detail based on such information respecting the claim as
Purchaser shall then have together with a demand for indemnification and
defense. Seller shall have the right to defend with a reservation of rights to
the extent Seller claims an unreasonable failure or delay by Purchaser in
notifying Seller of the claim prejudices Seller's ability to defend against the
claim. Any defense may be conducted in the name and on behalf of Seller or
Purchaser, as may be appropriate. The defense shall be conducted by Seller, but
the Purchaser shall have the right to participate in the proceeding and to be
represented by attorneys of his own choosing at his cost and expense. If
Purchaser joins in any defense, Seller shall have full authority to determine
all actions to be taken with respect thereto. At any time Seller may compromise
or settle in Purchaser's name any claims and Seller may require that Purchaser
agree in writing to the payment or compromise of any asserted claim provided
Seller makes all required payments when required. If Purchaser refuses to allow
Seller to compromise or settle a claim, Purchaser shall be responsible for all
additional costs, expenses and damage awards with respect to such claim and
Seller shall be released from its indemnity obligations from the date of any
such refusal with respect to such claim.
Seller reserves all rights and benefits (including any voting
rights and transferable tax sharing and economic benefits that accrue to the
owner of the Property and transferable development rights in excess of current
Property approvals, as depicted on the Site Plan) related to any tax sharing
agreement, development agreement, owner's participation agreement, reimbursement
agreement or annexation agreement or any annexation or incorporation of all or
any portion of the Property into any city, municipal entity, owner's association
or any special improvement or assessment district. Purchaser shall have the
right to approve of the form of this recorded covenant during the Contingency
Period.

(b) Paseo Bridge. The County of Los Angeles (the "County")
has required the construction of a bridge ("Paseo Bridge") across the
Old Road into the Property as a mitigation measure with respect to the
County's certification of the environmental impact report ("EIR") in
connection with the development of the Property. Certain homeowners have
requested that Seller negotiate with the County to have this mitigation
measure waived or to transfer ownership of the Paseo Bridge to the
County or landscape maintenance district upon completion of the Paseo
Bridge. If the County and Seller successfully conclude their
negotiations and the County removes the requirement for constructing the
Paseo Bridge, Seller shall have the right not to construct the Paseo
Bridge provided Seller satisfies any mitigation measure that the County
substitutes for construction of the Paseo Bridge. In the event that the
Paseo Bridge is constructed and the Seller is unable to transfer
ownership to the County, or landscape maintenance district, Purchaser
will accept such ownership and all maintenance responsibility for the
Paseo Bridge.
(c) Cooperation. Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith
and exercise due diligence to assist Seller in performing Seller's
obligations under paragraphs (a) and (b) of Article 9, and in exercising
Seller's rights and in performing Purchaser's obligations under Article
13 and Paragraph 9(d) of this Agreement. Seller shall have the right to
maintain its existing leasing and marketing signs at the Property and
shall have the right to install and maintain leasing available marketing
signs in vacant space on the Property directing leasing inquiries to
Seller and Seller's leasing agent until such time as Seller is released
from liability under the Rent Subsidy Agreements. Purchaser shall
execute such documents and instruments, such as applications for
building permits, notices of completion, notices of non-responsibility,
Post-Closing Leases, Memoranda of New Leases and Memoranda of
Post-Closing Leases and amendments to Rent Subsidy Agreements, and
perform such actions as Seller may reasonably request. Purchaser shall
also request that Tenants consent to proposed uses or modifications to
the Site Plan to the extent required by Existing Leases, New Leases and
Post-Closing Leases if requested by Seller. Purchaser shall refer and
shall cause Purchaser's property manager to refer all tenant prospects
for New Leases and Post-Closing Leases to Seller and upon Seller's
request will provide Seller with a monthly report of all retail leasing
inquiries received by Purchaser and its property manager for the
Valencia Marketplace. Purchaser shall also cooperate and cause its
property manager to cooperate with Seller and its property manager
during any period of time when Purchaser's property manager is managing
the Power/Promotional Center Property and Seller's property manager is
managing the Community Center/Triangle Property.
(d) Caltrans Easement. Purchaser shall assume
responsibility as of the applicable Closing Date for maintaining the
Caltrans landscape easement adjacent to Interstate 5 and the boundaries
of the Power/Promotional Center Property and Community Center/Triangle
Property, as applicable in accordance with the terms of the Caltrans
easement and CC&R's.

with on-site mitigation measures required by the EIR and conditions of

Closing Date, Purchaser shall also assume responsibility for complying
with all on-site mitigation measures required by the EIR and on-site
conditions of approval of the Conditional Use Permit Number 92-075-(5)

of Los Angeles Regional Planning Commission to assure compliance with
the on-site mitigation measures required by the EIR and project
approvals for Valencia Marketplace.

(ii) Percentage Rents. Percentage rents shall be
separatel prorated under each Lease on the basis of the lease year set
forth in such Lease for the payment of percentage rents. All percentage
rent payments received by Seller for the lease year in which the
applicable Closing Date occurs that are made prior to applicable Closing
with respect to any period after the applicable Closing Date shall be
credited to Purchaser. All payments of percentage rent for the lease
year in which the applicable Closing Date occurs that are received by
either party on or after applicable Closing Date shall be retained by,
or remitted to, Purchaser, as the case may be, until determination of
Seller's allocable share thereof in each instance, as provided in
Paragraph (iv) below. Upon final determination of percentage rents owed
by a Tenant under its Lease for the lease year in which the applicable
Closing occurs which shall include any percentage rent amounts paid by
any Tenant(s) prior to the applicable Closing Date), which shall be
completed within thirty (30) days of the close of each such lease year
or if later, within thirty (30) days after Purchaser's receipt of the
applicable Tenant's sales information. Seller and Purchaser shall adjust
between themselves amounts owed for such lease year on account of
percentage rents (including amounts theretofore received by Seller),
and, to the extent actually received by the party, Purchaser shall
promptly pay to Seller Seller's allocable share, or, if applicable,
Seller shall promptly pay to Purchaser, Purchaser's allocable share, of
such percentage rents which shall be determined by taking the amount
equal to the amount of percentage rent owed by such tenant for the lease
year (including amounts previously paid to Seller) and prorating such
amount based upon the parties' respective periods of ownership for such
year.
(iii) Operating Expense Pass-Throughs. Seller, as
landlord under the Leases, is currently collecting from Tenants under
the Leases additional rent to cover taxes, insurance, utilities,
maintenance and other operating costs and expenses (collectively,
"Operating Expense Pass-Throughs") incurred by Seller in connection with
the ownership, operation, maintenance and management of the Property. If
Seller collected estimated prepayments of Operating Expense
Pass-Throughs in excess of any Tenant's share of such expenses, then if
the excess can be determined by the applicable Closing Date, Purchaser
shall receive a credit for the excess and if the excess cannot be
determined until after the applicable Closing Date, Seller shall pay to
Purchaser such excess as soon as the excess can be determined. To the
extent Purchaser received a credit from Seller, Purchaser shall be
responsible for crediting or repaying those amounts to the appropriate
Tenants. Subject to the first sentence of Paragraph 13(c)(i)(C) above
and to the extent actually received by Purchaser, Purchaser covenants
and agrees to deliver to Seller all Operating Expense Pass-Throughs
which are billed in arrears based upon actual or contracted expenses
that accrued under the Tenant Leases prior to the applicable Closing
Date and any Operating Expense Adjustment which have been billed to
Tenants but have not been collected as of the applicable Closing Date.
(iv) Tenant Reconciliations and Post-Closing
Adjustments. Within ninety (90) days after the later to occur of: (a)
the end of any applicable lease year upon which percentage rents are
determined pursuant to Paragraph (c) above; and (b) fiscal year end (or
other applicable period) when adjustments with tenants under Leases for
Operating Expense Pass-Throughs and receipt of final tax and other bills
have been made; Purchaser shall prepare and present to Seller a
calculation of the re-proration
28
<PAGE> 31
of such percentage rents, Operating Expense Pass-Throughs, taxes and
other items, based upon the actual amount of such items charged to or
received by the parties for the year or other applicable fiscal period.
The parties shall make the appropriate adjusting payment between them
within thirty (30) days after presentment to Seller of Purchaser's
calculation and Purchaser shall be entitled to retain any under payment
sums as and when collected by Purchaser from the Tenants. Seller may
inspect and copy Purchaser's books and records related to the Property
to confirm the calculation. Purchaser shall retain such books and
records and make them available to Seller for Seller's inspection for up
to three (3) years after the applicable Closing Date. Purchaser shall
also cause its property manager to make its books and records available
to Seller for such three (3) year period for purposes of calculating,
reconciling and verifying such information. Purchaser may inspect
Seller's books and records related to any pre-Closing period necessary
for Purchaser to calculate the reconciliation between Seller and
Purchaser as contemplated by this paragraph. Either party shall be
entitled to a post-Closing adjustment for any incorrect proration or
adjustment.
(d) Taxes and Assessments. Real and personal property
taxes and assessments (including taxes payable with respect to
supplemental tax bills received after the applicable Closing Date but
related to periods prior to the applicable Closing Date) on the
applicable Property ("Taxes") shall be prorated on the basis that Seller
is responsible for (i) all such taxes for the fiscal year of the
applicable taxing authorities occurring prior to the "Current Tax
Period" (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) that portion of such taxes for
the Current Tax Period determined on the basis of the number of days
which have elapsed from the first day of the Current Tax Period to the
applicable Closing, inclusive, whether or not the same shall be payable
prior to the applicable Closing. The phrase "Current Tax Period" refers
to the fiscal year of the applicable taxing authority in which the
applicable Closing occurs. With respect to the supplemental tax bills,
Purchaser expressly acknowledges and agrees that to the extent Tenants
(including Seller as a Tenant under a Rent Subsidy Agreement) under the
Leases are responsible for the payment of such taxes Purchaser shall
collect payment of same, as it relates to periods of time prior to and
from and after the applicable Closing Date, from all such Tenants and
shall take any action necessary under such payment of supplemental taxes
which are the responsibility of any Tenant or Purchaser and shall hold
Seller harmless from and against payment of same (except for Seller's
obligations to pay Seller's pro rata share of any such taxes under any
Rent Subsidy Agreement). In the event that as of the applicable Closing
Date the actual tax bills for the year or years in question are not
available and the amount of taxes to be prorated as aforesaid cannot be
ascertained, then rates and assessed valuation of the previous year,
with known changes, shall be used, and when the actual amount of taxes
and assessments for the year or years in question shall be determinable,
then such taxes and assessments will be reprorated between the parties
to reflect the actual amount of such taxes and assessments. Nothing
contained in this Article 13 is intended or shall be construed as
limiting or restricting Seller's reservation of all tax and other
economic benefits related to or connected with any tax sharing
agreement, development agreement, owner's participation agreement,
annexation agreement, reimbursement agreement, transferable development
rights, annexation or incorporation of all or any portion of the
Property into a city, municipal entity or special improvements district.
29
<PAGE> 32
(e) Utilities. All utility service charges for gas, water,
electricity, fuel, heating and air conditioning service, sewer and other
utilities relating to the Property that Seller customarily pays shall be
prorated as of the applicable Closing Date to the extent such items are
not directly paid for by Tenants. If the parties hereto are unable to
obtain final meter readings as of the applicable Closing Date then such
expenses shall be estimated as of the applicable Closing Date based on
the prior operating history of the applicable Property. Seller shall be
entitled to all reimbursements from Tenants for any sewer connection
fees.
At least two (2) business days prior to the applicable Closing of
Escrow, the parties hereto shall agree upon all the prorations to be
made and submit a statement to Escrow Holder setting forth the same. In
the event that any prorations, apportionments or computations made under
this Article 13 shall require final adjustment, the parties hereto shall
make the appropriate adjustments promptly when accurate information
becomes available and either party hereto shall be entitled to an
adjustment to correct the same. Any corrected adjustment or proration
will be in cash to the party entitled thereto.

applicable Property. If Purchaser elects to proceed under clause (ii)
above, Seller shall not compromise, settle or adjust any claims to such

completing any repairs or replacements under this Paragraph, the
applicable Closing may be extended for a reasonable time to allow such
repairs or replacements to be made by Seller, but in no event more than
six (6) months (the "Outside Closing Date").
(c) In the event that after the Power/Promotional Center
Closing, there is any damage to or taking of the Community
Center/Triangle Property and Seller elects to repair the Community
Center/Triangle Property on or before the Outside Closing Date and
Seller completes such repair on or before the Outside Closing Date for
the Community Center/Triangle Closing, Purchaser shall proceed with the
Community Center/Triangle Closing and accept the Community
Center/Triangle Property and the Community Center/Triangle Purchase
Price shall not be reduced. If after the Power/Promotional Center
Closing, there is any damage or taking of the Community Center/Triangle
Property and Seller elects not to restore or repair the Community
Center/Triangle Property, the Purchaser shall have an election to (i)
terminate the Community Center Escrow and receive a refund of the
Deposit plus accrued interest less one-half of the Escrow Holder's and
Title Company's cancellation fees, or (ii) accept the Community
Center/Triangle Property in its then current condition and proceed with
the Community Center/Triangle Closing, in which case Purchaser shall be
entitled to receive an assignment of Seller's insurance proceeds and the
Community Center/Triangle
31
<PAGE> 34
Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of Seller's insurance
deductible applicable to the Community Center/Triangle Property.
(d) In the event that prior to the Power/Promotional
Center Closing, all or any material portion of the Property is subject
to a taking by public authority, Purchaser shall have the right,
exercisable by giving notice to Seller within fifteen (15) days after
receiving written notice of such taking, either (i) to terminate this
Agreement, in which case neither party shall have any further rights or
obligations hereunder and any money or documents in escrow shall be
returned to the party depositing the same, or (ii) to accept the
Property in its then condition, without a reduction in the Purchase
Price, and to receive an assignment of all of Seller's rights to any
condemnation award payable by reason of such taking. If Purchaser elects
to proceed under clause (ii) above, Seller shall not compromise, settle
or adjust any claims to such award without Purchaser's prior written
consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed.
(e) In the event that prior to the Power/Promotional
Center Closing, any non-material portion of the Property is subject to a
taking, Purchaser shall accept the Property in its then condition and
proceed with the Power/Promotional Center Closing and Community
Center/Triangle Closing, in which case Purchaser shall be entitled to an
assignment of all of Seller's rights to any award in connection with
such taking. In the event of any such non-material taking, Seller shall
not compromise, settle or adjust any claims to such award without
Purchaser's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(f) For the purpose of this Article, damage to the
Property or a taking of a portion thereof shall be deemed to involve a
material portion thereof if the reasonably estimated cost of restoration
or repair of such damage or the amount of the condemnation award with
respect of such taking shall exceed $500,000.
(g) Seller agrees to give Purchaser prompt notice of any
taking, damage or destruction of the Property. The provisions of this
Article shall survive the Power/Promotional Center Closing and Community
Center/Triangle Closing.
16. DEFAULT
(a) If either party breaches its obligations hereunder,
then the other party may, without terminating this Agreement, suspend
performance until such breach is cured; provided, however, if Purchaser
breaches this Agreement, Seller shall terminate this Agreement and
retain the Deposit, as Liquidated Damages as set forth in Paragraph
16(b) below, if such default occurs prior to the Power Promotional
Center Closing and shall terminate the Community Center/Triangle Escrow
if the breach occurs after the Power/Promotional Center Closing Date but
prior to the Community Center/Triangle Closing. If Seller breaches its
obligations hereunder, Purchaser's sole remedies shall be either (i) to
terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit and recover
Purchaser's actual, but not consequential, damages, or (ii) to obtain
specific performance by Seller by tendering the applicable Purchase
Price to Escrow prior to the applicable Closing Date. For purposes of
determining whether Purchaser may sue
32
<PAGE> 35
for specific performance, Purchaser shall be deemed to have tendered the
applicable Purchase Price to Escrow Holder when it has supplied Escrow
Holder with written evidence from Purchaser's lender and/or Purchaser's
commercial bank or investment bank that Purchaser has satisfied all
conditions to funding the loan for a portion of the applicable Purchase
Price, including Purchaser's execution of loan documents, and delivery
of a deed of trust and assignment of leases in favor of such lender to
Escrow Holder, other than recordation of the Grant Deed and applicable
deed of trust and issuance of Purchaser's and the Lender's title
policies and that Purchaser has sufficient other segregated funds
available with such commercial bank or investment bank to pay the
balance of the applicable Purchase Price on or before the applicable
Closing Date. The obligations of Seller under this Agreement shall be
without recourse to the assets of the general partners or of any general
partner, officer, shareholder, director or employee of Seller or any
general partner of Seller. The sole recourse of Purchaser for any
obligation of the Seller under this Agreement shall be limited solely to
the assets of Seller.
(B) IF THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE POWER/PROMOTIONAL
CENTER PROPERTY OR THE COMMUNITY CENTER/TRIANGLE PROPERTY IS NOT
CONSUMMATED BECAUSE OF A DEFAULT OF PURCHASER, THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE
RETAINED BY SELLER AS SELLER'S MINIMUM LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND SELLER MAY
DEMAND OF PURCHASER THAT THE AMOUNT OF SELLER'S LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
SHOULD BE INCREASED FROM $5,600,000 TO A GREATER AMOUNT BUT IN NO EVENT
GREATER THAN $7,000,000. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER'S LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
EVER BE LESS THAN $5,600,000. IF SELLER MAKES A DEMAND ON PURCHASER THAT
SELLER'S LIQUIDATED DAMAGES BE INCREASED AND PURCHASER REJECTS SELLER'S
DEMAND, SELLER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROCEED TO ARBITRATION UNDER
ARTICLE 20 SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF DETERMINING WHETHER SELLER'S
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES SHOULD BE INCREASED FROM $5,600,000 TO A GREATER
AMOUNT BUT IN NO EVENT GREATER THAN $7,000,000. THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED
THAT SELLERS' ACTUAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING THE POTENTIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON
THE UNIT PRICE THAT SELLER'S UNITS ARE TRADED AT ON THE NEW YORK STOCK
EXCHANGE, WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICAL TO DETERMINE.
THEREFORE, BY PLACING THEIR INITIALS BELOW IN THE SPACE PROVIDED, THE
PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT (I) $5,600,000 HAS BEEN AGREED UPON AS SELLER'S
MINIMUM LIQUIDATED DAMAGES; (II) THAT $7,000,000 HAS BEEN AGREED UPON AS
SELLER'S MAXIMUM LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND AS A LIMIT TO PURCHASER'S
POTENTIAL LIABILITY FOR A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT; AND (III) THAT
ARBITRATION UNDER ARTICLE 20 HAS BEEN AGREED UPON AS THE PROCEDURE TO BE
USED BY SELLER TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE WITH PURCHASER REGARDING ANY
INCREASE IN THE AMOUNT OF LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FROM $5,600,000 TO UP TO
THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF $7,000,000 AS SELLER'S LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AFTER
NEGOTIATION WITH THE ASSISTANCE AND ADVICE OF LEGAL COUNSEL, AS THE
PARTIES REASONABLE

ESTIMATE OF SELLER'S DAMAGES AND AS SELLER'S EXCLUSIVE
REMEDY AGAINST PURCHASER AT LAW, OR IN EQUITY IN THE EVENT
OF A DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT BY PURCHASER PRIOR TO THE
POWER/PROMOTIONAL CENTER CLOSING OR COMMUNITY
CENTER/TRIANGLE CLOSING, AS APPLICABLE, WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO
SELLER'S RIGHT TO RECOVER ATTORNEYS' FEES AS A PREVAILING
PARTY OR WITHOUT LIMITATION OF PURCHASER'S INDEMNITY
OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

non-defaulting party, or if such default by Seller occurs after the
Promotional/Power Center Closing Date but prior to the Community

Agreement (voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law) without
the prior written consent of Seller, which shall not be unreasonably

part of a Section 1031 Exchange under the Code, provided Seller shall
not be required to take title to any other property, Purchaser shall
defend, indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any claims,

20. ARBITRATION
Any dispute between the parties hereto shall be determined
by arbitration and any dispute between the parties regarding the amount of
Seller's Liquidated Damages or the amount of Sellers' damages under Paragraph
16(b) shall be determined by arbitration. In no event shall the arbitrator have
the authority to award Seller Liquidated Damages or damages of less than
$5,600,000 or in excess of $7,000,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
40
<PAGE> 43
contained in this Article 20 or the Agreement, if Purchaser has rejected
Seller's demand that Seller's Liquidated Damages be increased from $5,600,000 to
an amount of up to $7,000,000 and Seller has elected to proceed with arbitration
to resolve the dispute, the following procedures shall be used to resolve the
amount of Seller's Liquidated Damages once the Judge or arbitrators, as
applicable, have been chosen in accordance with the procedures set forth below.
Seller and Purchaser shall each submit a sealed envelope to the Judge or
arbitrators, as appropriate, at the arbitration hearing scheduled in accordance
with the procedures set forth below. Each sealed envelope shall contain the
amount that Purchaser and Seller believe should be the amount of Seller's
Liquidated Damages, which amounts must be a number falling within the range of
$5,600,000 to $7,000,000, inclusive. The sealed envelope may also include a
written brief setting forth the support for Purchaser or Seller's position. If
Purchaser or Seller submit a number for Seller's Liquidated Damages that is less
than $5,600,000 or more than $7,000,000, the Judge or arbitrators, as
appropriate, shall select the other party's number as the amount of Seller's
Liquidated Damages. The Judge or arbitrators, as appropriate, shall select
either Purchaser's number or Seller's number as the amount of Seller's
Liquidated Damages which the Judge or arbitrators, as appropriate, believe in
their sole discretion is the appropriate amount of Seller's Liquidated Damages
within ten (10) days after the date of Purchaser and Seller's submittal. If
neither Seller nor Purchaser submits a number between $5,600,000 and $7,000,000,
Seller's Liquidated Damages shall be $5,600,000. The Judge's or arbitrators', as
appropriate, determination of the amount of Seller's Liquidated Damages shall be
binding on Purchaser and Seller and may be entered in any court of competent
jurisdiction; provided, however, in no event shall the amount of Seller's
Liquidated Damages be less than $5,600,000 or more than $7,000,000. Each party
shall pay its own attorneys' fees and one-half (1/2) the cost of the Judge or
arbitrators, as appropriate, that are incurred in connection with any
arbitration proceeding to determine the amount of Seller's Liquidated Damages
regardless of whether Seller or Purchaser is the prevailing party with respect
to any such determination.
Whenever any such dispute arises between the parties hereto in
connection with this Agreement and either party gives written notice to the
other that such dispute shall be determined by arbitration, then within twenty
(20) days after the giving of the notice, both parties shall select and hire one
member ("Judge") of the panel of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services,
Inc. ("JAMS"). The Judge shall be a retired judge experienced with commercial
real property disputes in the County in which the Property is located. As soon
as reasonably possible, but no later than thirty (30) days after the Judge is
selected, the Judge shall schedule the arbitration hearing at a location
reasonably acceptable to Seller, Purchaser and the Judge. The Judge shall
determine the matter within ten (10) days after the conclusion of any such
arbitration hearing. The arbitration hearing shall be conducted in accordance
with JAMS' procedures for major matters, except as provided otherwise in this
Agreement. All determinations by the Judge shall be binding on Purchaser and
Seller and may be entered into a court of competent jurisdiction.
Each party shall pay one-half the costs and expenses of the Judge.
If Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. ceases to
exist, and either party gives written notice to the other that a dispute shall
be determined by arbitration, then, unless agreed otherwise in writing by the
parties, all arbitrations hereunder shall be governed by California Code of
Civil Procedure Sections 1280 through 1294.2, inclusive, as amended or
recodified from time to time, to the extent they do not conflict with this
Article. Any determination by arbitration hereunder may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction. Within ten (10)
41
<PAGE> 44
days after delivery of such notice, each party shall select an arbitrator with
at least five (5) years' experience in commercial real property transactions in
the County in which the Property is located and advise the other party of its
selection in writing. The two arbitrators so named shall meet promptly and shall
name a third arbitrator within the succeeding period of five (5) days. Said
three arbitrators thereafter shall schedule an arbitration hearing with
Purchaser and Seller at a mutually convenient place within thirty (30) days
thereafter and shall render a decision within ten (10) days after the conclusion
of the arbitration hearing. The decision of any two (2) of said arbitrators
rendered in writing and delivered to the parties hereto shall be final and
binding on the parties.
If either party fails to appoint an arbitrator within the
prescribed time, and/or if either party fails to appoint an arbitrator with the
qualifications specified herein, and/or if any two arbitrators are unable to
agree upon the appointment of a third arbitrator within the prescribed time,
then the Superior Court of the County in which the Property is located may, upon
request of any party, appoint such arbitrators, as the case may be, and the
arbitrators as a group shall have the same power and authority to render a final
and binding decision as where the appointments are made pursuant to the
provisions of the preceding paragraph. All arbitrators shall be individuals with
at least five (5) years' experience negotiating or arbitrating disputes arising
out of commercial real property transactions in the County where the Property is
located. All determinations by arbitration hereunder, including by the Judge,
shall be binding upon Seller and Purchaser and may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction.

("Seller") and SAMUEL S. MEVORACH ("Purchaser"), with reference and respect to
the following facts and circumstances:
A. Newhall and Mevorach made and entered into that certain Purchase and
Sale Agreement dated January 7, 1998 ("Agreement") with respect to those certain
parcels of real property located in the County of Los Angeles, State of
California and more particularly described in the Agreement (the "Property") and
commonly referred to as Valencia Marketplace.
B. The parties desire to amend, modify and change the Agreement as
provided in this Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, covenants, and
agreements, set forth in this Amendment and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by both
parties, the parties agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS. Defined terms are indicated in this Amendment by initial
capital letters. Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Amendment,
defined terms shall have the same meaning in this Amendment as they do in the
Agreement.
2. APPROVAL OF DUE DILIGENCE. By executing this Amendment, Purchaser (a)
acknowledges that he has approved all Due Diligence Items provided Seller causes
a final subdivision map for the Property to be recorded prior to the
Power/Promotional Center Closing Date and the Title Company deletes or insures
over the exceptions listed on Schedule 2 to this Amendment and issues the
endorsements to the Title Policy set forth on Schedule 2; and (b) waives his
right to terminate the Agreement during the Contingency Period, subject to
Purchaser's right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to paragraph 3 below.
Purchaser shall deposit the Additional Deposit into Escrow on or before February
17, 1998; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in the Agreement, the release of the Deposit to Seller shall be governed by
Paragraph 3 below.
3. FINANCING CONTINGENCY. Purchaser shall have until March 10, 1998, to
obtain a loan commitment on terms acceptable to Purchaser in its sole discretion
for not more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the applicable Purchase Price.
Purchaser shall exercise due diligence to satisfy this financing contingency on
or before February 27, 1998, but in any event prior to March 10, 1998. If
Purchaser has not obtained a loan commitment on or before 12:00 p.m., Pacific
Standard time on February 27, 1998, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate
Escrow and receive a refund of the Deposit less one-half of Escrow Holder and
Title Insurer's escrow and title insurance cancellation fees and charges. If
Purchaser has not satisfied the financing contingency by 12:00 p.m., Pacific
Standard time on February 27, 1998, and Purchaser has not elected to terminate
Escrow by delivering written notice of termination to
-1-
<PAGE> 66
Seller and Escrow Holder prior to 12:00 p.m. Pacific Standard time on February
27, 1998, Purchaser hereby irrevocably authorizes and instructs Escrow Holder to
disburse Three Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($300,000) of the Deposit to
Seller on February 27, 1998 as non-refundable consideration for Seller's
agreement to provide Buyer with a financing contingency and an extension of the
time for the release of the balance of the Deposit to Seller.
If Purchaser elects not to terminate Escrow on or before 12:00
p.m. Pacific Standard time on February 27, 1998 and is unable to satisfy the
financing contingency on or before March 10, 1998 despite Purchaser's best
efforts, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate the Escrow and receive a
refund of $5,300,000 of the Deposit less 1/2 of Escrow Holder's and Title
Insurer's escrow and title insurance cancellation fees and charges. If Purchaser
does not elect to terminate the Agreement and Escrow on March 10, 1998, as a
result of the failure of the financing contingency, Purchaser hereby irrevocably
authorizes and instructs Escrow Holder to disburse the balance of the Deposit in
the amount of $5,300,000 to Seller on March 11, 1998. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Amendment or the Agreement, in no event shall
Seller be obligated to refund the $300,000 portion of the Deposit that was
released to Seller on February 27, 1998 as a result of any failure of the
financing contingency. Purchaser acknowledges that the release of $300,000 to
Seller and Seller's retention of $300,000 as a result of the failure of the
financing contingency is fair and reasonable compensation to Seller for Seller's
agreement to provide Purchaser with a financing contingency and an extension of
the time for release of the Deposit to Seller. If Purchaser acquires title to
the Power/Promotional Center and the Community Center/Triangle, the $300,000
plus accrued interest calculated at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum from
the date of Seller's receipt of the $300,000, and the $5,300,000 balance of the
Deposit plus accrued interest calculated at the rate of six percent (6%) per
annum from the date of Seller's receipt of such funds until the Community
Center/Triangle Closing Date will be credited against the Community
Center/Triangle Purchase Price.

for such space, the aggregate amount of the difference between the amended rent
under all such amended Existing Leases and the Pro Forma Rent for such space

satisfy any objection of any Required Owner. If requested by Purchaser, Seller

Seller's remaining Subsidy payment obligation under the other Amended and

Subsidy Agreement, notwithstanding the fact that Seller will enter into separate

<PAGE> 77
Rent Subsidy Agreements for the Power/Promotional Center and Community
Center/Triangle on June 30, 1999 (or such earlier date as may be requested by
Purchaser's Lender) for any unleased space in the Power/Promotional Center and
Community Center/Triangle, as applicable, if the aggregate, annualized rent then
being paid by Tenants under Leases is less than the aggregate annualized
Pro-Forma Rent for Space that is then subject to the Amended and Restated Rent
Subsidy Agreement (provided that Tenants under New Leases and Post-Closing
Leases for which Seller makes a Mandatory Termination Payment (as defined in the
Amended and Restated Rent Subsidy Agreement) to Purchaser on June 30, 1999 shall
be deemed to be paying Pro-Forma Rent for any such Space).

obligations under the Amended and Restated Rental Subsidy Agreement.
10. NONIMPAIRMENT. Except as provided in this Fourth Amendment
and the Amended and Restated Rental Subsidy Agreement, the Agreement is
unchanged and shall remain in full force and effect and shall be binding upon
the parties in accordance with its terms. In the event of a conflict between the
Original Agreement and this Fourth Amendment and the Amended and Restated Rental
Subsidy Agreement, this Fourth Amendment and the Amended and Restated Rental
Subsidy Agreement shall prevail.
11. COUNTERPARTS; TELEFACSIMILE EXECUTION. This Fourth Amendment
may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be a part of
an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED RENTAL SUBSIDY AGREEMENT
("Agreement") is dated as of this ____ day of _____________, 1998, and is
entered into by and between THE NEWHALL LAND AND FARMING COMPANY (A California
Limited Partnership), hereinafter referred to as "Newhall", and [VALENCIA
MARKETPLACE I, LLC] [VALENCIA MARKETPLACE II, LLC], a California Limited
Liability Company, hereinafter referred to as "Owner".
RECITALS
A. Newhall and Samuel S. Mevorach ("Mevorach") entered into that
certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of January 7, 1998 (together with
all amendments thereto, collectively the "Purchase Agreement") with respect to
that certain shopping center commonly referred to as Valencia Marketplace and
located on parcels of real property in the County of Los Angeles, State of
California and more particularly described on Exhibit A-1. Newhall is the Seller
and Mevorach is the Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement. Mevorach's interest
under the Purchase Agreement was assigned to Owner and Mevorach's duties under
the Purchase Agreement were assumed by Owner.
B. Capitalized terms utilized in this Agreement shall have the
same meaning as they do in the Purchase Agreement, unless otherwise indicated in
this Agreement.
C. The parties desire to enter into this Agreement pursuant to
Section 3 of the Fourth Amendment to the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of
March 12, 1998, and Paragraph 9(a) of the Purchase Agreement, with regard to
certain leasable areas within the applicable Property that are not yet producing
rental income at the time Owner becomes the owner of the applicable Property.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by both parties, Owner and Newhall
hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
DESCRIPTION OF CENTER
1.1 CENTER. The "Center" or "Valencia Marketplace" refers to that
certain real property located in the unincorporated community of Valencia,
County of Los Angeles, State of California, and legally described on Exhibit A-1
attached hereto. The Center consists of approximately 44.25 acres of land
improved with a value-oriented, shopping center ("Power/Promotional Center")
containing approximately 528,456 square feet of leasable space, which is more
particularly described on Exhibit A-2 attached hereto, and approximately 31.63
acres of land improved with a community shopping center ("Community
Center/Triangle")
1.
<PAGE> 85
containing approximately 193,508 square feet of leasable space, which is more
particularly described on Exhibit A-3 attached hereto. The term Center includes
both the land and the improvements (as shown on the Amended and Restated Site
Plan, "Site Plan" on attached Exhibit B), and the Common Area (as defined
hereunder) located in Valencia Marketplace, the Power/Promotional Center or the
Community Center/Triangle, as the context requires.
1.2 SPACES. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement,
all of the leasable area ("Spaces") within the Center shall be listed and
particularly described in the Amended and Restated Project Pro-Forma
("Pro-Forma") attached hereto as Exhibit C. The Pro-Forma shall specify for each
Space: (i) whether it is subject to an "Existing Lease", "New Lease", or future
"Post-Closing Lease"; (ii) whether it is "In-line Shop", "Pad", or "Major
Tenant" Space; (iii) the maximum period of time ("Term") that the Subsidy (as
defined below) may remain in effect for such Space; (iv) the remaining
construction budget applicable to such Space if construction has not been
completed as of the Closing Date; (v) the "Pro-Forma Rent" for Space that will
be subject to future Post-Closing Leases and the "Contract Rent" and Pro-Forma
Rent for Space subject to New Leases and Existing Leases; and (vi) the location
of the Space on the Site Plan.
1.3 COMMON AREA. The term "Common Area" means (i) the entire area
within the Center, excluding the Spaces in the Center and (ii) other areas which
service the Center for the common use or benefit of Owner, Newhall, tenants in
the Center, and any customers, invitees, officers, agents, and employees of the
Center.
ARTICLE 2
SUBSIDY
2.1 MONTHLY SUBSIDY. Subject to reductions pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement, Newhall shall pay Owner on a monthly basis, an amount equal
to the aggregate sum of the following: (i) with respect to Space subject to an
Existing Lease or New Lease that has not commenced paying rent as of the Closing
Date, an amount equal to the monthly Pro-Forma Rent for such Space until the
date the tenant is obligated to pay rent under any such Existing Lease or New
Lease; (ii) with respect to Space subject to a New Lease or Post-Closing Lease
for which rent has commenced at a rental rate less than the monthly Pro-Forma
Rent for such Space, an amount equal to the difference between the Pro-Forma
Rent for such Space and the rent that the tenant is obligated to pay for such
Space under any such New Lease or Post-Closing Lease until such time as
Newhall's obligation for such Space has terminated or been reduced to zero under
this Agreement (which may occur by Newhall's election to apply rent in excess of
Pro-Forma Rent from one Space to reduce its obligation to zero for other Space
under this Agreement); (iii) with respect to Spaces that are being marketed for
Post-Closing Leases, an amount equal to the monthly Pro-Forma Rent for any such
Spaces as set forth in the Pro-Forma until the earlier of the date the tenant is
obligated to pay rent for any such Space or the date Newhall's obligation for
such Space has been terminated or been reduced to zero under this Agreement;
(iv) the difference between the actual monthly rent payable under the Vons'
Existing Lease with Newhall and the Pro-Forma Rent for the Vons' Space until the
earlier of October 31, 2000 or the date the actual rent payable under the Vons'
Existing Lease plus any credits for
2.
<PAGE> 86
excess rent payments that Newhall has elected to apply to the Vons' Space in
accordance with this Agreement is increased to the same or greater rental as
specified for the Vons' Space in the Pro-Forma; and (v) Newhall's Pro-Rata Share
of Common Area Expenses as determined in accordance with Article 6 of this
Agreement subject to reduction under the terms of this Agreement (collectively,
the "Subsidy"). Newhall shall pay the Subsidy to Owner in advance on or before
the first Business Day of each month until expiration, termination or reduction
of the Subsidy to zero pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. The Subsidy
payment for any partial month shall be prorated on the basis of actual days
elapsed.
2.2 SUBSIDY REDUCTION. Newhall shall have the right to find
tenants and cause Owner to enter into leases ("Post-Closing Leases") with such
tenants for any Space designated as Post-Closing Lease Space in the Pro-Forma in
accordance with the procedures outlined in Article 3 of this Agreement. If Owner
enters into any Post-Closing Lease that has not been negotiated and approved by
Newhall, Newhall's obligation to make Subsidy payments with respect to the Space
subject to any such Post-Closing Lease shall terminate. Additionally, after the
Closing Date, payments of rent and increases in payments of rent and percentage
rent under New Leases and Post-Closing Leases and payments of percentage rent
under Existing Leases may result in reductions from time to time of Subsidy
payments. Newhall's obligation to pay the Subsidy monthly shall be reduced by
the following amounts; provided, however, if a reduction is taken in one of the
following categories, the amount of such reduction shall not be double counted
or taken again if any of the following categories overlap.
(i) Until October 31, 2000, the amount of increases in
rent, including percentage rent and rent increases in minimum rent,
under New Leases (other than New Leases for which Newhall has elected to
provide Valencia Marketplace II, LLC with a credit against the Community
Center/Triangle Purchase Price pursuant to Clause 9(a)(i)(A) of the
Purchase Agreement and for New Leases for which Newhall paid a Mandatory
Termination Payment) in excess of rent payments under any such New
Leases that Newhall previously received credit for under this Agreement
plus percentage rent, if any, under any Existing Lease in excess of the
Pro-Forma aggregate, annualized rent for such Space, shall be credited
against, thereby reducing, Newhall's Subsidy payment obligation.
(ii) The amount of rent payable (based upon the aggregate
annualized rent payable at the time rent commences on a monthly basis)
under any Lease for Space that is subject to this Agreement that
commences payment after the Closing Date, shall be credited against,
thereby reducing, Newhall's Subsidy payment obligation once the monthly
payment of rent commences under any such Lease.
(iii) Until October 31, 2000, the amount of any percentage
rent actually paid under an Existing Lease in excess of the Pro-Forma
Rent for such Space, and percentage rent actually paid in excess of
Pro-Forma Rent for such Space under any New Lease for which Newhall
previously elected to provide Valencia Marketplace II, LLC with a credit
against the Community Center/Triangle Purchase Price pursuant to Clause
9(a)(i)(A) of the Purchase Agreement and until October 31, 2000,
percentage rent actually paid in excess of Pro-Forma Rent for any
Cap-out Space for which Newhall made a
3.
<PAGE> 87
Mandatory Termination Payment shall be credited against, thereby
reducing, Newhall's Subsidy payment obligation.
(iv) Until October 31, 2000, the amount of any increases
in annualized rent payable under a New Lease (other than under a New
Lease for which Newhall previously elected to provide Valencia
Marketplace II, LLC with a credit against the Community Center/Triangle
Purchase Price pursuant to Clause 9(a)(i)(A) of the Purchase Agreement)
or Post-Closing Lease (other than with respect to any Cap-out Space for
which Newhall has made a Mandatory Termination Payment), in excess of
the monthly rental rate for any such Post Closing Lease or New Lease
that Newhall previously received credit for under this Agreement shall
be credited against, thereby reducing, Newhall's Subsidy payment
obligation once such increase takes effect (including percentage rent
that is actually paid under any such New Lease and Post-Closing Lease).
(v) Newhall's Subsidy obligation shall be reduced by the
amount of the Pro-Forma Rent applicable to any Space if a tenant
terminates or refuses to execute a Post-Closing Lease as a result of
Owner failure to execute a Post-Closing Lease for such Space in
accordance with Sections 3.3 and 3.4 of this Agreement, or if Owner
enters into a Post-Closing Lease that has not been negotiated and
approved by Newhall.
(vi) Newhall's Subsidy obligation shall be reduced by the
amount of delayed rent if a tenant delays paying rent under a
Post-Closing Lease as a result of Owner's delay in executing a
Post-Closing Lease or Owner's failure to cause or delay in causing its
lender to execute a "Nondisturbance Agreement" for the benefit of any
tenant under a Post-Closing Lease.
(vii) The amount of Pro-Forma Rent applicable to Space for
which a tenant terminates a Post-Closing Lease as a result of Owner's
failure to cause its lender to execute a Nondisturbance Agreement.
(viii) The amount of Pro-Forma Rent applicable to Space
for which a taking (as defined in Article 11 of this Agreement) has
occurred.
(ix) The amount of business interruption or rental loss
insurance that Owner receives with respect to Space that is damaged or
destroyed and that is subject to this Agreement.
(x) The amount of the difference between the Pro-Forma
Rent and rent payable under a New Lease or Post-Closing Lease that
Newhall has previously received a credit for under this Agreement
applicable to Space for which Newhall makes a Mandatory Termination
Payment pursuant to Section 2.4 of this Agreement on June 30, 1999,
shall be credited against, thereby reducing, Newhall's Subsidy payment
obligation.
2.3 SUBSIDY REDUCTION AMENDMENT. Upon the request of Newhall from
time to time in connection with the execution of any Post-Closing Lease or in
connection with the occurrence of any other extraordinary event such as the
payment of the Mandatory Termination
4.
<PAGE> 88
Payment, or otherwise not more than once per month following an event which
reduces Newhall's Subsidy obligations under this Agreement as to one or more
Spaces, the parties shall execute an amendment to this Agreement ("Subsidy
Reduction Amendment") in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D. The Subsidy
Reduction Amendments shall be prepared by Newhall and executed or objected to in
writing by Owner within five (5) business days after receipt. Owner shall not
unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval of any Subsidy Reduction
Amendment. If Owner fails to object to any such Subsidy Reduction Amendment
within the five (5) business day period, then Owner shall be deemed to have
approved the Subsidy Reduction Amendment and Newhall shall be automatically
released from all liability under this Agreement with respect to the Subsidy
reduction referred to in the Subsidy Reduction Amendment that Owner failed to
execute during any such five (5) business day period without the need for a
mutually executed amendment from the date Owner was required to execute such
Subsidy Reduction Amendment. If Owner objects to any such Subsidy Reduction
Amendment within any such five (5) business day period, Owner shall specify in
writing its reasons for objection and what changes Newhall should make in order
to obtain Owner's execution of the Subsidy Reduction Amendment. If Newhall
believes that Owner's objection to any Subsidy Reduction Amendment is
unreasonable, Newhall shall have the right to request Expedited Arbitration
pursuant to Article 19 of this Agreement to determine whether Owner's objections
are reasonable and to determine the appropriate amount of the Subsidy reduction.
If the arbitration determines that Owner's objections were unreasonable, Newhall
shall be automatically and retroactively released from all liability under this
Agreement with respect to the Subsidy reduction referred to in the Subsidy
Reduction Amendment from the date Owner should have executed the Subsidy
Reduction Agreement. The arbitrators determination of the appropriate amount of
the Subsidy reduction pursuant to Article 19 of this Agreement shall be binding
on Newhall and Owner.
2.4 MANDATORY TERMINATION PAYMENT. (a) Except as provided
otherwise in this Agreement, on June 30, 1999, Newhall must pay to Owner a
one-time mandatory termination payment (the "Mandatory Termination Payment") for
New Leases and Post-Closing Leases that have been fully executed after January
7, 1998 and prior to June 30, 1999, and that provide for aggregate annualized
rent payable (based upon the average rent for the first half of the Lease term
of any such New Leases and Post-Closing Leases) that is below the aggregate
annualized Pro-Forma Rent for all such Space that is subject to any such New
Leases and Post Closing (the "Cap-out Spaces"). The Mandatory Termination
Payment shall be in an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the sum
of the following by two (2):
(i) the difference between the Pro-Forma Rent for the
Cap-out Spaces and the aggregate annualized rent provided for under New
Leases and Post-Closing Leases for the Cap-out Spaces (based upon the
average rent for the first half of the Lease term of any such New Leases
and Post-Closing Leases), shall be divided by 8.28%; and
(ii) the aggregate of the Subsidy payments (excluding
Newhall's Pro Rata Share of Common Area Expenses) that Newhall would
have been obligated to make under this Agreement for the Cap-out Spaces
after June 30, 1999 if Newhall were not obligated to pay Owner the
Mandatory Termination Payment. In no event shall the Mandatory
Termination Payment include any amount for and in no event shall Newhall
5.
<PAGE> 89
be obligated to make any termination payment for (x) Space that remains
unleased as of June 30, 1999; (y) Space that is subject to a Lease that
obligates the Tenant to pay rent at or above the Pro-Forma rent
regardless of whether the Tenant has actually commenced paying rent as
of June 30, 1999 and (z) Space for which Newhall's Subsidy obligation
has been reduced to zero pursuant to this Agreement.
Additionally, Newhall shall have no obligation to pay any
termination payment for any Post-Closing Leases that are executed after June 30,
1999, and that provide for aggregate annualized rent less than Pro-Forma Rent.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Newhall shall also
have no obligation to pay any termination payment and will be prohibited from
making a Mandatory Termination Payment with respect to any new Leases or
Post-Closing Leases in either the Community Center/Triangle or Power/Promotional
Center if Owner's Lender elects to sell or securitize the loan secured by the
Community Center/Triangle or Power/Promotional Center, as applicable, prior to
June 30, 1999.
(b) Unwind Fee. Newhall shall pay to Owner, Owner's
Lender's unwind fee ("Unwind Fee"), as calculated in accordance with Schedule
2.4 attached hereto, that is directly attributable to Owner's actual payment to
Owner's Lender of the least amount of the Seller's Mandatory Termination Payment
that Owner's Lender actually requires. In no event will Newhall be obligated to
pay any Unwind Fee attributable to: (i) Owner's Lender increases the portion of
the Mandatory Termination Payment to be paid to Owner's Lender as a result of
Owner's default under the loan documents; or (ii) Owner's Lender draws on any
Letter of Credit provided by Owner or Owner makes any prepayment of any loan
secured by all or any portion of the Property, including any prepayment required
by Prudential Mortgage Capital Company, LLC to reduce the loan-to-value ratio to
less than or equal to 75% or to adjust the debt service coverage ratio of the
loan secured by Power/Promotional Center to be 1.22 to 1 and/or to adjust the
debt service coverage ratio of the loan secured by the Community Center/Triangle
to be 1.25 to 1.
ARTICLE 3
POST-CLOSING LEASES
3.1 MARKETING OF POST-CLOSING LEASES. Newhall shall diligently
market the Spaces that are not subject to Existing Leases or New Leases for
lease at rental rates on an aggregate, annualized basis based upon monthly
rental payments consistent with the aggregate, annual rent for the Space subject
to this Agreement set forth in the Pro-Forma. Owner hereby approves the new
tenant prospects for Post-Closing Leases set forth on Exhibit G attached hereto
and incorporated by reference herein. Owner shall not unreasonably withhold,
condition or delay its approval of any Post-Closing Lease or new tenant
prospects for Post-Closing Leases. Newhall shall have the right to maintain its
existing leasing and marketing signs on the Property and shall have the right to
install and maintain leasing available marketing signs in vacant Space on the
Property directing leasing inquiries to Newhall and Newhall's leasing agent
until such time as Newhall is released from all liability under this Agreement.
Owner shall refer and shall cause Owner's property manager to refer all tenant
prospects for Post-Closing Leases to Newhall and Newhall's leasing agent. Upon
Newhall's request, Owner shall also provide Newhall with a
6.
<PAGE> 90
monthly status report of all retail leasing inquiries received by Owner and its
property manager for Valencia Marketplace. Unless otherwise agreed by the
parties, all such Post-Closing Leases shall be procured at Newhall's sole cost
and expense, including, but not limited to, payment of any brokerage commissions
and tenant improvement allowances payable for or under such Post-Closing Leases.
Upon Newhall's request, Owner shall request that tenants under Existing Leases,
New Leases and any previously executed Post-Closing Leases consent to proposed
uses or modifications to the Site Plan to the extent required by Existing
Leases, New Leases and Post-Closing Leases. Owner shall cooperate in good faith
and exercise due diligence and perform such actions as Newhall may reasonably
request to assist Newhall in marketing and negotiating Post-Closing Leases.
3.2 NEGOTIATION AND APPROVAL OF POST-CLOSING LEASES. Newhall
shall have the right to negotiate Post-Closing Leases on terms and conditions
consistent with this Agreement and the terms and conditions of Existing Leases,
New Leases and Post-Closing Leases that Owner has previously approved and at
rental rates consistent with the fair market rent, the Project Pro-Forma or
leasing guidelines for any such Space that Owner or its property manager may
approve from time to time in marketing meetings with Newhall and its leasing
agent. The term of any Post-Closing Lease for In-Line Shop Space or Pad Space
shall not be less than five (5) years. The term of any Post-Closing Lease for
any Major Tenant Space shall not be less than ten (10) years. Upon Newhall's
written request, Owner shall approve or disapprove additional tenant prospects,
revisions to leasing guidelines and proposed term sheets or letters of intent
for Post-Closing Leases within five (5) business days after receipt of Newhall's
request. Owner shall be deemed to have approved any such additional tenant
prospects, revisions to leasing guidelines and proposed term sheets or letters
of intent for Post-Closing Leases if Owner fails to reasonably object during any
such five (5) business day period. If Owner objects to any such additional
tenant prospect, leasing guidelines or proposed term sheet or letter of intent
during any such five (5) business day period, Owner shall specify in writing and
deliver written notice to Newhall of its reasons for disapproval and specify
what actions Newhall needs to take to obtain Owner's approval of the additional
tenant prospects, revisions to the leasing guidelines and proposed term sheet or
letter of intent. If Owner requests financial statements for any tenant
prospect, Owner's approval of the financial statement shall be based upon the
tenant's ability to perform its obligations with respect to the proposed
Post-Closing Lease. In no event shall Owner have the right to require that any
franchisor guarantee the obligations of a franchisee under a Lease. If Newhall
believes that Owner's objections to any such tenant prospects, revisions to
leasing guidelines or proposed term sheets or letters of intent are
unreasonable, Newhall shall have the right to request Expedited Arbitration
pursuant to Article 19 to determine whether Owner's objections are unreasonable.
Newhall shall have the right to cause Owner to enter into up to
three (3) Post-Closing Leases for each Pad Space and In-Line Space U-2 (as shown
on the Site Plan) if Newhall elects to redemise any such Pad Space or In-Line
Space provided no such Post-Closing Lease for such Pad Space or In-Line Space
shall be for less than 800 leasable square feet of separately demised Premises.
Newhall shall also have the right to cause Owner to enter into up to six (6)
Post-Closing Leases for Space located within building areas G and H (as shown on
the site Plan) if Newhall elects to redemise all or any portion of such Space
provided no such Post-Closing Lease for Space located within building areas G
and H shall be for less than 1,000 leasable
7.
<PAGE> 91
square feet of separately demised premises. Newhall shall also have the right to
cause Owner to enter into up to two Post-Closing Leases for Major Tenant Space
identified as building area O on the Site Plan if Newhall elects to redemise
such building area provided no such Post-Closing Lease for Space within building
area O is for less than 15,000 leasable square feet of separately demised
premises.
Upon Newhall's negotiation of a Post-Closing Lease, Newhall shall
request, in writing, Owner's approval and execution of the Post-Closing Lease.
Owner shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its approval or
execution of a Post-Closing Lease. Owner shall be deemed to have approved each
Post-Closing Lease unless Owner disapproves of it by delivering written notice
to Newhall of such disapproval within five (5) business days after receipt of
Newhall's request for approval. If Owner elects to disapprove the terms of any
Post-Closing Lease, Owner shall specify the reasons for its disapproval in
writing within any such five (5) business day period, together with a written
explanation of what steps need to be taken to obtain Owner's approval of any
such Post-Closing Lease. Unless Owner reasonably disapproves of a Post-Closing
Lease during any such five (5) business day period, Owner shall execute and
deliver the Post-Closing Lease to the tenant within such five (5) business day
period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aforementioned five (5) business day
periods shall be increased to ten (10) business days for Post-Closing Leases of
Major Tenant Spaces, such as building area O.
3.3 NON-DISTURBANCE AGREEMENTS. Upon execution of any such
Post-Closing Lease with a tenant that is a national or regional chain store or
that is leasing at least 5,000 square feet of rentable area or that is ground
leasing a Pad, Owner shall cause its lender ("Lender") to execute a
non-disturbance agreement reasonably acceptable to Owner's Lender and any such
tenant under any such Post-Closing Lease and the leasehold lender of any such
tenant (if any), within twenty (20) business days after receipt of any such
tenant's request under any such Post-Closing Lease for execution of a
non-disturbance agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any other tenant refuses to
execute a Post-Closing Lease unless Owner's Lender executes a nondisturbance
agreement, Owner shall request and exercise due diligence to cause its Lender to
execute a non-disturbance agreement reasonably acceptable to any such tenant and
Owner's Lender within forty-five (45) days after Newhall advises Owner in
writing that any such tenant is insisting on a non-disturbance agreement as a
condition to execution or as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of a
Post-Closing Lease.
If Owner believes that the tenant's requested modification of the
Lender's non-disturbance agreement is unreasonable, Owner shall have the right
to request Expedited Arbitration pursuant to Article 19 of this Agreement to
determine whether tenant's requested modification of the non-disturbance
agreement is unreasonable. If the arbitrator determines that the tenant's
requested modification of the non-disturbance agreement is unreasonable,
Lender's refusal or delay in executing the modified non-disturbance agreement
shall not result in a reduction of Newhall's Subsidy obligations under this
Agreement.
3.4 FAILURE TO EXECUTE. If any tenant under a Post-Closing Lease
terminates or refuses to execute the Post-Closing Lease because of Owner's or
Owner's Lender's failure,
8.
<PAGE> 92
refusal or delay in executing a Post-Closing Lease or a non-disturbance
agreement required by this Agreement, then Newhall shall be released from all
liability under this Agreement with respect to the Space under any such
Post-Closing Lease from the deadline Owner or its Lender was required to execute
any such Post-Closing Lease or non-disturbance agreement.
3.5 DELAY IN EXECUTION. Newhall's Subsidy obligation under this
Agreement shall also be reduced by the amount of lost or delayed rental income
occurring under any Post-Closing Lease as a result of a delayed rent
commencement date related to Owner's delay in executing a Post-Closing Lease or
any such Lender's delay in executing any such nondisturbance agreement beyond
the period permitted by this Agreement.
3.6 NONLIABILITY OF NEWHALL. In no event shall Newhall be
responsible for the performance of any tenants under Existing Leases, New Leases
or Post-Closing Leases. Owner's recourse for breach of any Existing Lease, New
Lease or Post-Closing Lease shall be governed by the terms of the Existing
Lease, New Lease or Post-Closing Lease. In no event shall Owner be able to
withhold its consent of any tenant prospect because its financial condition or
credit rating is less than Newhall's net worth or credit rating.

nuisance, or any other act or thing which may disturb the quiet enjoyment of any
tenants or occupants in the Center or of neighbors of the Center.
5.3 CONSTRUCTION COMPLETION. Except as provided otherwise in this
Agreement or Paragraph 10(b) of the Purchase Agreement, Newhall will be
responsible for substantially completing construction of the gross leasable area
(collectively, as it may be modified in accordance with this Agreement, the "New
Space") on the Real Property within the building set-back areas (within
twenty-five feet of the building lines) as depicted on the Site Plan and
Pro-Forma and the landscaping for such New Space in the Common Areas adjacent to
such New Space until the earlier of (i) substantial completion of construction
as evidenced by temporary certificate(s) of occupancy or their equivalent or
Tenants' acceptance of possession of premises under New Leases and Post-Closing
Leases or evidenced by certificates of substantial completion issued by the
contractor and project architect for Space that is completed but not subject to
a New Lease or Post-Closing Lease; or (ii) the date when the aggregate
annualized rent actually being paid under New Leases and Post-Closing Leases
based upon the monthly rental payments then being paid is greater than or equal

entitled to
12.
<PAGE> 96
receive for the Mandatory Termination Payment applicable to Cap-out Space,
subject to any written modifications agreed upon by both Owner and Newhall.
Newhall shall construct the New Space lien-free and substantially in accordance
with plans and specifications that are consistent with the Valencia Marketplace
Design Guidelines and that have been approved by the Valencia Marketplace
Architectural Review Committee and the County of Los Angeles. The New Space
shall be of the same quality of construction and shall be architecturally
compatible with the Improvements currently existing on the Property. Owner shall
execute such documents and instruments such as plans and specifications,
applications for building grading and foundation permits, notices of completion
and cessation and notices of non-responsibility and perform such actions as
Seller may reasonably request in connection with the construction of New Space.
Within five (5) business days of the written request of Newhall, Owner shall
execute plans and specifications, grading and building permit applications,
other requests for governmental approval and other documents reasonably
necessary for purposes of constructing New Space in accordance with this
Agreement. If Owner fails to execute any such plans, applications, requests or
documents within such five (5) business day period and such failure or delay
extends the rent commencement date under any Lease or results in the termination
of any Lease, Newhall's Subsidy obligation shall be reduced by the amount of any
such delayed or lost rent.
Newhall shall cause its general contractor to name Owner as an
additional insured on the contractor's general commercial liability policy and
builder's "all-risk" course of construction insurance policy from an insurer
meeting Owner's Lender's reasonable standards. Newhall will assign to Owner,
without recourse, all Plans and contractors and manufacturers' warranties for
the New Space. Newhall reserves the right to change the configuration of the
Site Plan for the Power/Promotional Center and Community Center/Triangle to the
extent permitted by applicable law and the terms of Existing Leases and any New
Leases and Post-Closing Leases, subject to the consent of the Owner which shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Owner shall approve or
specify its reasons for disapproval for any requested change to the Site Plan
within ten (10) business days after receipt of Newhall's request. If Owner fails
to object to any requested change during any such ten (10) business day period,
Owner shall be deemed to have approve the requested change to the Site Plan.
Owner agrees that Newhall shall have the right to redemise the Pad Space,
In-Line Shop Space, Space U-2, building areas G and H and Major Tenant Space O
in accordance with clause 5.1(D)(vi) of this Agreement. Owner also agrees that
Newhall shall have the right to reduce the aggregate leasable area of the New
Space to be built as long as the aggregate annualized rent payable under the New
Leases and Post-Closing Leases based upon monthly rental payments is greater
than or equal to the aggregate, annualized rent payable under Pro-Forma for such
Space.
Newhall will complete construction of the New Space in accordance
with the obligations of the landlord under any New Leases and Post-Closing
Leases, including funding any tenant improvement allowances, if any, required by
the New Leases and Post-Closing Leases, but in any event will substantially
complete the basic building shells (and the landlord's standard work under
Newhall's standard work letter agreement, the form of which is attached hereto
as Exhibit "E", for any portion of the New Space that is completed and not
subject to a Post-Closing Lease or New Lease) for New Space subject to a this
Agreement prior to two (2) years after the applicable Closing Date for the
In-line, Shop Space and three (3) years after the applicable Closing Date for
the Pad Spaces and in-line Major Tenant Space. Newhall shall assign, without
13.
<PAGE> 97
recourse, to Owner all Plans and construction and manufacturers' warranties, if
any, related to such construction of the New Space and shall cooperate with
Owner in enforcing any such construction and manufacturers' warranties.
5.4 CONSTRUCTION COSTS. To secure Newhall's obligation to
construct the New Space in accordance with this Agreement, upon the applicable
Closing, the parties shall cause Escrow to wire transfer the amount of the
estimated cost of substantially completing the construction of the New Space
(including the Landlord's Standard Work set forth in Exhibit E) that has not
been completed by Newhall as of the applicable Closing Date ("Construction
Budget"), into an interest bearing account for the benefit and account of
Newhall with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. or other California bank requested by Lender
and reasonably acceptable to Newhall. As of February 17, 1998, the amount of
such Construction Budget shall initially equal the total of the amounts as set
forth in the Pro-Forma as the Construction Budget for New Spaces (including the
Landlord's Standard Work set forth in Exhibit E). Newhall and Owner acknowledge
that they have agreed upon the Construction Budget amounts as set forth in the
Pro-Forma for each New Space (including the Landlord's Standard Work set forth
in Exhibit E). The amount of the Construction Budget shall be reduced by the
amount Newhall incurs for construction of New Space from January 31, 1998 until
the applicable Closing Date but not in excess of the per square foot budget and
percentage completed for each such Space as of the applicable Closing Date. The
Construction Budget shall be subject to a security interest in favor of Owner's
Lender. Newhall and Owner's Lender shall negotiate the terms of the security
agreement. Newhall's approval of the terms of the security agreement shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The security agreement shall permit and
Newhall shall be entitled to, withdraw monthly disbursements from the
Construction Budget account as construction of New Spaces progress in accordance
with this Agreement even if Owner is in default under its loan or loans with
Owner's Lender.
From time to time as construction of New Spaces progress, Newhall
shall have the right to submit a disbursement request ("Disbursement Notice") to
Owner, Owner's Lender and Escrow Holder specifying the amount of the
Construction Budget to be disbursed for each New Space under construction based
upon the percentage of the New Space that has been completed as of the date of
the Disbursement Notice. Each Disbursement Notice shall be executed by Newhall,
Owner and the contractor and architect for each New Space under construction and
shall set forth the requested disbursement amount for each New Space, the
original Construction Budget for the New Space, the percentage of construction
that has been completed for such New Space, the amount that has been disbursed
prior to such Disbursement Notice for each New Space and the remaining
undisbursed balance of the Construction Budget for each New Space. Each
Disbursement Notice shall also be accompanied by mechanics' lien releases and
waivers meeting the requirements of California law from the contractor and all
major subcontractors providing labor and material which may be conditional for
the current month and shall be unconditional for prior months.
Upon the earlier of (i) substantial completion of construction of
a New Space, as evidenced by temporary certificate(s) of occupancy or their
equivalent or Tenants' acceptance of possession of a New Space under a New Lease
or Post-Closing Lease or as evidenced by certificates of substantial completion
issued by the contractor and project architect for New Space
14.
<PAGE> 98
that is completed but not subject to a New Lease or a Post-Closing Lease; or
(ii) the date when the aggregate annualized rent actually being paid under a New
Leases and a Post-Closing Lease based upon the monthly rental payments then
being paid is greater than or equal to the annualized rent payable under the
Pro-Forma for such Space less any credits that Newhall is entitled to receive
for such New Leases under subparagraph 9(a)(i) of the Purchase Agreement and for
the Mandatory Termination Payment with respect to any Cap-out Space, Newhall
shall have the right to provide a Disbursement Notice to Owner, Owner's Lender
and Escrow for the remaining balance of the Construction Budget applicable to
such New Space or all New Spaces, as appropriate, provided no mechanics' liens
have been recorded or threatened to be recorded against any such New Space, and
provided Newhall removes all construction material and any dangerous
construction condition from the Center, unless Owner agrees otherwise.
Owner and Owner's Lender shall have twenty-one (21) days from the
date of the Disbursement Notice to disapprove of the Disbursement Notice. If
Owner and Owner's Lender fail to disapprove the Disbursement Notice in writing
within twenty-one (21) days from the date of the Disbursement Notice, the
Disbursement Notice shall be automatically deemed approved by Owner and Owner's
Lender, and Escrow Holder shall immediately (but no more often than monthly)
disburse to Newhall from the Construction Budget account the portion of the
Construction Budget for the New Space as set forth in the Disbursement Notice.
If Owner or Owner's Lender disapproves any Disbursement Request
in writing within twenty-one (21) days from the date of the Disbursement Notice,
for such disapproval to be valid, Owner or Owner's Lender shall specify (i) what
portion of the Disbursement Notice, in dollar amount and for which New Space, is
disapproved; (ii) the reasonable grounds for disapproval; and (ii) the precise
steps that need to be taken to obtain approval. Escrow Holder shall immediately
disburse to Newhall the portion of the Construction Budget set forth in the
Disbursement Notice that has not been disapproved by Owner or Owner's Lender.
If the parties cannot resolve the Owner or Owner's Lender's
disapproval of a Disbursement Notice within ten (10) days after such written
disapproval, then either party shall have the right to request Expedited
Arbitration pursuant to Article 19 of this Agreement to determine whether the
disapproval is reasonable and to determine the appropriate remedy. If the
arbitration determines that the disapproval was unreasonable, then in addition
to the disbursement of Construction Budget for the Space in dispute set forth in
this Disbursement Notice, Owner shall pay Newhall interest on the disputed
amount at Wells Fargo Bank's prime rate and Newhall's Subsidy obligation shall
be reduced by the amount of any rental delay or loss as a result of any delay in
rent commencement or termination of any Lease as a result of Owner or Owner's
Lender's unreasonable disapproval of any portion of a Disbursement Notice.
ARTICLE 6
COMMON AREA EXPENSES
6.1 OWNER'S MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OBLIGATIONS. Owner shall
operate, manage, maintain, and repair the Center (including the Common Area and
New Space after completion of construction by Newhall in accordance with this
Agreement) in a first-class
15.
<PAGE> 99
condition (as defined in the Supplemental Declaration of Covenants, Conditions
and Restrictions ("CC&R's") recorded against the Property) and in accordance
with the landlord's obligations under the Leases. Owner shall maintain and
replace landscaping in accordance with the approved landscaping plan for
Valencia Marketplace and shall maintain all signage for the Property in
accordance with the Valencia Marketplace Signage Guidelines and Valencia
Marketplace Design Guidelines. Owner shall not change the name of the Property
from "Valencia Marketplace".
6.2 COMMON AREA OPERATING EXPENSES. Common Area Expenses shall
mean the reasonable costs and expenses that Owner incurs in maintaining and
managing the Common Area of the Center, including property taxes, insurance and
property management fees; provided, however, Owner's management fee shall not
exceed the lesser of Owner's property management fee under Owner's property
management agreement with an independent third party or an administration fee
based upon 10% of Common Area Expenses; and provided, further real property
taxes shall not include any increase in real property taxes resulting from
changes in ownership by Owner or a transfer of all or any portion or interest in
the Property. Owner's estimate of Newhall's Pro Rata Share of Common Area
Expenses for 1998 shall be $.35 per square foot of leasable area.
6.3 PAYMENT OF PRO RATA SHARE. Owner shall give Newhall written
notice of an estimate of Newhall's "Pro Rata Share" (as defined hereunder) of
the Common Area Expenses prior to the commencement of each calendar year while
this Agreement remains in effect. With the exception of any portion of Common
Area Expenses attributable to real property taxes (which shall be paid
semiannually prior to delinquency), Newhall shall pay Owner one-twelfth (1/12)
of the amount stated therein as Newhall's Pro Rata Share of the Common Area
Expenses on the first business day of each month concurrently with the payment
of each month's Subsidy payment, subject to Newhall's right to contest Newhall's
Pro Rata Share of Common Area Expenses and Owner's year-end reconciliation of
Newhall's Pro Rata Share of Common Area Expenses on or before April 1 of each
year.
6.4 NEWHALL'S PRO RATA SHARE. Newhall's Pro Rata Share shall
equal a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of leasable square
feet of Space as determined from time to time subject to this Agreement for
which tenants have not commenced paying their pro rata share of Common Area
Expenses under Existing Leases, New Leases or Post-Closing Leases, and the
denominator of which is the aggregate number of leasable square feet in the
Power/Promotional Center, Community Center/Triangle, or the Center, as
applicable. In no event shall Newhall's Pro Rata Share of Common Area Expenses
include property taxes attributable to increases in taxes payable as a result of
any change of ownership of Owner or a transfer of all or any portion of interest
in the Center by Owner, or any tenant's share of Common Area Expenses that may
not be passed through to any such tenant under a Lease.
6.5 CONTEST. Newhall shall have the right to contest and audit
the amount of Newhall's Pro Rata Share of actual Common Area Expenses after
receipt of Owner's year-end reconciliation of Newhall's Pro Rata Share of Common
Area Expenses and Owner's proration statements within two (2) years after
Newhall's receipt of Owner's written notice of Newhall's Pro Rata Share of
Common Area Expenses or Newhall's receipt of a proration statement. In the event
of such a contest or audit, the Common Area Expenses or prorations for the
Center shall
16.
<PAGE> 100
be audited by a certified public accountant, professional auditor or independent
professional real property manager selected by Newhall and approved by Owner,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Newhall shall pay for all costs of any audit requested by Newhall. If Newhall's
Pro Rata Share of actual Common Area Expenses, as determined by the audit, is
less than the amount specified in Owner' written notice, then Newhall shall
either receive a credit against Newhall's Subsidy obligation for the amount of
Common Area Expenses that Newhall has overpaid or Owner shall repay Newhall the
amount of such overpayment within thirty (30) days after the audit determines
the amount of the overpayment. If Newhall's Pro Rata Share of actual Common Area
Expenses is less than 97% of the amount charged by Owner, Owner shall also pay
to Newhall the reasonable costs incurred by Newhall in conducting the audit. If
Owner disagrees with the results of the audit, Owner shall have the right to
request Expedited Arbitration pursuant to Article 19 to determine whether such
audit is accurate.
6.6 PRORATIONS. Common Area Expenses and Subsidy payments shall
be prorated based on actual days elapsed as of the applicable date that Owner is
entitled to a Subsidy payment under this Agreement and shall be accounted for as
follows:
A. Common Area Expenses. If Owner collects estimated
prepayments of Common Area Expenses in excess of any of Newhall's Pro Rata Share
of such expenses, then if the excess can be determined by the date of execution
of a Subsidy Reduction Amendment, Newhall shall receive a credit for the excess
against its Subsidy payments under this Agreement and if the excess cannot be
determined until the end of any calendar year or the expiration or termination
of this Agreement, Owner shall pay to Newhall such excess as soon as the excess
can be determined.
B. Common Area Expense Reconciliations and Adjustments.
Within ninety (90) days after June 30, 1999 if Newhall has made a Mandatory
Termination Payment on such date, and within ninety (90) days after the later to
occur of: (a) the end of any applicable lease year upon which percentage rents
are determined pursuant to Leases; and (b) fiscal year end (or other applicable
period) when adjustments with tenants under Leases for Common Area Expenses and
receipt of final tax and other bills have been made; Owner shall prepare and
present to Newhall with (i) a calculation of any credit for percentage rents and
Common Area Expenses that Newhall is entitled to receive under this Agreement
and (ii) a reconciliation of estimated Common Area Expenses and taxes and other
items, in comparison to the actual amount of such items charged to or received
by Owner for the year or other applicable fiscal period in question. The parties
shall make the appropriate adjusting payment or credit between them within
thirty (30) days after presentment to Newhall of Owner's calculation. Newhall
may inspect and copy Owner's books and records related to the Property to
confirm the calculations. Owner shall retain such books and records and make
them available to Newhall for Newhall's inspection for up to three (3) years
after the applicable fiscal period. Owner shall also cause its property manager
to make its books and records available to Newhall for such three (3) year
period for purposes of calculating, reconciling and verifying such information.
Either party shall be entitled to an adjustment for any incorrect proration or
adjustment within two (2) years after the determination.

<PAGE> 101
C. Taxes and Assessments. Real and personal property taxes
and assessments (including taxes payable with respect to supplemental tax bills
received after the applicable fiscal period but related to periods prior to the
applicable fiscal period) on the applicable Property ("Taxes") shall be prorated
on the basis that Newhall is responsible for Newhall's Pro Rata Share of such
taxes and determined on the basis of the actual number of days which have
elapsed during the applicable fiscal tax period, whether or not the same shall
be payable prior to the applicable adjustment date. With respect to the
supplemental tax bills, Owner expressly acknowledges and agrees that to the
extent tenants under the Leases and Newhall under this Agreement, are
responsible for the payment of such taxes Owner shall collect payment of same,
as it relates to periods of time prior to and from and after the applicable
adjustment date, from all such tenants and shall take any action necessary under
such payment of supplemental taxes which are the responsibility of any tenant or
Owner and shall hold Newhall harmless from and against payment of same, except
for Newhall's obligations to pay Newhall's Pro Rata Share of any such taxes
under this Agreement. In the event that as of the applicable adjustment date the
actual tax bills for the year or years in question are not available and the
amount of taxes to be prorated as aforesaid cannot be ascertained, then rates
and assessed valuation of the previous year, with known changes, shall be used,
and when the actual amount of taxes and assessments for the year or years in
question shall be determinable, then such taxes and assessments will be
re-prorated between the parties to reflect the actual amount of such taxes and
assessments. Nothing contained in this Article 6 is intended or shall be
construed as limiting or restricting Newhall's reservation of all tax and other
economic benefits related to or connected with any tax sharing agreement,
development agreement, owner's participation agreement, annexation agreement,
reimbursement agreement, transferable development rights, annexation or
incorporation of all or any portion of the Property into a city, municipal
entity or special improvements district.

contractors to maintain a builder's "all-risk" policy to insure any improvements
under construction for New Space and shall name Owner and Owner's Lender as an
additional insured on all such builder's "all-risk" policies until any such New
Space is substantially completed.
8.3 GENERAL. All policies that are required under this Article
shall be issued by companies licensed to do business in California with a
general policyholder's rating of not less than "B+" and a financing rating of
not less than Class "VIII", as rated by the most current available "Bests"
Insurance Reports and shall be in a form and underwritten by companies
reasonably acceptable to Newhall. Each party shall furnish the other party with
evidence reasonably acceptable to such party that (i) the policies (or a binder
thereof) required pursuant to this Article are in effect and (ii) the parties
shall be notified by the carrier in writing thirty (30) days prior to
cancellation, material change, or nonrenewal of such insurance. Each party shall
name the other party as an additional insured with respect to obligation for
which such party is obligated to obtain a commercial general liability policy,
and at Owner's request, Owner's Lender as an additional insured with respect to
such obligation. If a party carries any of the insurance required hereunder in
the form of a blanket policy, any certificate required hereunder shall make
specific reference to the Property.
8.4 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, Owner and Newhall hereby waive any rights each may
have against the other on account of any loss or damage occasioned to Owner or
Newhall, arising from any risk to the extent covered by the insurance required
hereunder. The parties each, on behalf of their respective insurance companies
of either Owner or Newhall against any such loss, waive any right of subrogation
that it may have against Owner or Newhall, as the case may be. The foregoing
waivers of subrogation shall be operative only so long as available without
invalidating either Owner's or Newhall's policy of insurance.
ARTICLE 9
TITLE TO IMPROVEMENTS
Any and all Improvements which may be made in or upon the Center
by Newhall shall become the property of Owner without compensation to Newhall,
subject to any applicable Leases within the Center. Newhall shall assign,
without recourse, all plans and specifications and construction warranties
related to any such improvements to Owner upon Newhall's completion of any such
improvements.
19.
<PAGE> 103
ARTICLE 10
DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
Newhall shall not be required to repair any damage or destruction
of any completed portion of the Center, including New Spaces that have been
completed by Newhall, in the event of any total or partial damage or destruction
thereof. If there is any damage to any of the New Spaces that have not been
completed by Newhall, then with respect to those New Spaces, this Agreement, if
applicable, shall be terminated from the date of such damage, unless, Owner
provides Newhall within fifteen (15) days after such damage occurs, with written
notice of its intent to provide Newhall with the insurance proceeds to repair
said damage. In such case, Newhall shall proceed to diligently complete the
repair and restoration of the New Spaces that were under construction provided
Owner has provided Newhall with the insurance proceeds less the remaining
construction budget for such New Space after Newhall's payment of all
outstanding invoices as the date of such damage or destruction and Newhall's
Subsidy and Pro-Rata Share of Operating Expense obligations shall be abated and
reduced by the amount of any rental loss insurance proceeds received by Owner
for such Space under Owner or Newhall's casualty insurance policies. If Owner
elects not to provide Newhall with insurance proceeds payable with respect to
any New Space under construction, Newhall shall be released from any obligation
to construct or repair such New Space, Newhall's Subsidy obligation shall be
reduced by the amount of the Pro-Forma Rent applicable to such New Space,
Newhall's Pro Rata Share shall be reduced to reflect the elimination of such New
Space, Owner and Newhall shall enter into a Subsidy Reduction Amendment and the
remaining undisbursed construction budget applicable to such New Space shall be
paid to Owner. Any prepaid Subsidy payments by Newhall shall be prorated based
upon the number of actual days elapsed as of any such damage or destruction.
ARTICLE 11
EMINENT DOMAIN
11.1 TOTAL TAKING. If all of the Property is taken under the
power of Eminent Domain this Agreement shall terminate on the date the
condemning authority announces such taking will occur and Newhall shall be
released from any further obligations under this Agreement to make subsidy
payments or to construct or complete the construction of any New Space. Any
prepaid Subsidy or other prepaid monetary sum paid by Newhall to Owner shall be
prorated on the basis of actual days elapsed and any excess payments shall be
refunded to Newhall for the days after the termination date of the Agreement to
which such payments apply. The term "Eminent Domain" shall include the exercise
of any governmental power of condemnation and any private sale or other transfer
in lieu of or under the threat of condemnation.
11.2 PARTIAL TAKING. If any part of the Space subject to the
Agreement is taken under the power of Eminent Domain, this Agreement shall be
amended by a Subsidy Reduction Amendment effective on date the condemning
authority announces such taking will occur. Such Subsidy Reduction Amendment
shall reduce Newhall's Subsidy obligation under this Agreement in proportion to
the amount of Space rendered unleasable by such taking and Newhall shall be
20.
<PAGE> 104
released from all liability under this Agreement for such Space. Any prepaid
Subsidy and other prepaid monetary sums paid by Newhall to Owner for the Space
rendered unleasable shall be prorated on the basis of actual days elapsed and
any excess payments shall be refunded to Newhall for the days after the
termination date of the Agreement to which such payments apply.
11.3 AWARD. Newhall hereby renounces any interest in, and assigns
to Owner, any award made in any condemnation proceeding for any such taking.
ARTICLE 12
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
12.1 NEWHALL'S DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following
events shall constitute an event of default and a material breach of this
Agreement ("Event of Default") on the part of Newhall:
A. Failure to Make Payment. Newhall's failure to pay any
Subsidy or any other sum due hereunder on the date when such payment is due,
where such failure continues for seven (7) days after written notice from Owner
that such payment is due and which default notice shall specify the amount
necessary to cure and the Space for which such Subsidy payment is due, except if
a different notice or cure period or no notice or cure period is specified in
another provision of this Agreement.
B. Failure to Perform Other Covenants. Newhall's breach or
failure to perform any of Newhall's other covenants, agreements or obligations
hereunder, where such breach or failure to perform continues for thirty (30)
days after service of written notice to Newhall to cure any such breach or
failure unless Newhall commences such cure during any such thirty (30) day
period and diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.
12.2 OWNER'S REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default on the part of Newhall as set forth in Section 12.1 above, Owner shall
have the following rights and remedies by exercising arbitration under Articles
18 and 19 of this Agreement:
A. Continue Effect of Subsidy Agreement. Owner may
continue the effect of the Agreement after Newhall's breach and recover from
Newhall the Subsidy or other monetary sums that become due under the Agreement.
In addition, Owner shall have the right to perform, at Newhall's expense,
Newhall's obligations under Articles 3 and 5 of this Agreement. If Owner elects
to enter into a Post-Closing Lease as landlord pursuant to this Section 12.2,
then the rent and any other monetary remuneration received by Owner from such
Post-Closing Lease shall be applied to reduce any (or all if applicable) amounts
due for which Newhall is in breach with respect to such Space.
B. Damages. If an Event of Default by Newhall exists under
this Agreement, Owner shall have the right to recover actual damages (which
shall be calculated in accordance with California Civil Code Section 1951.2 for
the least amount of available Space for which the Pro-Forma Rent is greater than
or equal to the amount of a late Subsidy payment
21.
<PAGE> 105
obligation that Newhall has failed to cure after receipt of a notice under
Section 12.1A of this Agreement) plus interest at Wells Fargo Bank's Prime Rate
plus two percent (2%) per annum on any late payments. Owner shall also have the
right to compel specific performance of Newhall's obligations to construct the
New Space in accordance with Section 5.3 of this Agreement, as well as any
declaratory relief under the Expedited Arbitration provisions of Article 19.
12.3 OWNER'S DEFAULT. If Owner breaches or fails to perform any
of Owner's covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement, where such
breach or failure continues for thirty (30) days after service of written notice
to Owner to cure any such breach or failure, except if a shorter notice or cure
period (such as for executing Post-Closing Leases and approving tenant prospects
and revisions to the Site Plan or leasing guidelines) or no notice or cure
period is specified in another provision of this Agreement, such breach or
failure to perform shall constitute an Event of Default and a material breach of
this Agreement on the part of Owner.
12.4 NEWHALL'S REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default on the part of Owner as set forth in Section 12.3 above, Newhall shall
have the right to elect the arbitration pursuant to Articles 18 and 19 of this
Agreement. Newhall shall have the right to recover its actual damages resulting
from Owner's breach, plus interest at Wells Fargo's Prime Rate plus two percent
(2%) per annum on any late payments. Newhall shall also have the right to compel
specific performance of Owner's its obligations under the Agreement with respect
as well as any declaratory relief under the Expedited Arbitration provisions of
Article 19.
12.5 REMEDIES - GENERALLY.
A. Cumulative Remedies. The right of either party to
exercise any of the remedies under this Article 12 upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default by the other party shall be cumulative to the maximum extent
permitted by law and this Agreement.
B. Expedited Arbitration. Either party shall have the
right to exercise the expedited arbitration rights pursuant to Section 19
(Expedited Arbitration) when minimizing the passage of time during a dispute
between the parties is critical (e.g., the loss of a prospective Post-Closing
Lease is imminent), including but not limited to the parties obligations to
timely and expeditiously, as applicable: approve of prospective tenants for
Post-Closing Leases, execute Post-Closing Leases, execute non-disturbance
agreements pursuant to Section 3.3, approve and execute documentation pertaining
to construction of and permitting of improvements, execute escrow disbursement
authorizations, Subsidy Reduction Amendments, or amendments to this Agreement
(collectively, the "Documents").
C. Stipulations for Remedies in Equity. The parties agree
that if any Documents are not timely and expeditiously approved and executed by
the appropriate party, irreparable harm will be caused to the other party. The
parties agree that delays in approving and executing the Documents, especially
when the successful execution of a prospective Post-Closing Lease is jeopardized
or actually lost, substantial damages are caused to the other party that are
impractical and impossible to calculate, thus rendering remedies at law
inadequate. The parties agree, any specific performance allowed by this
Agreement sought to compel the obligations
22.
<PAGE> 106
under this Agreement, is "just" and "reasonable" within the meaning of
California Civil Code Section 3391.
ARTICLE 13
SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT
13.1 SUBORDINATION. At Owner's option, this Agreement is and
shall be subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust and/or any
other hypothecation or security document and advances and obligations thereunder
now or hereafter placed upon the Center, and any renewals, modifications,
consolidations, replacements, and extensions thereof (collectively "Deed of
Trust"), provided Newhall's rights under this Agreement shall not be disturbed
as long as Newhall is not in default under this Agreement. Upon the request of
Owner, Newhall shall, from time to time, review, approve, execute and deliver
within ten (10) business days any documents or instruments that may be
reasonably required by Owner or the mortgagee, beneficiary, ground lessor or
Lender under any such Deed of Trust, to effectuate any subordination provided
Owner's Lender agrees not to disturb Newhall's rights under this Agreement as
long as Newhall is not in default under this Agreement. Such subordination shall
be subject to Newhall's written approval within such ten (10) business day
period, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If
Owner's Lender elects to have this Agreement prior to the lien of its Deed of
Trust, and gives written notice to Newhall of such election (after Newhall's
approval), this Agreement shall be deemed prior to such Deed of Trust regardless
of the respective dates of execution, delivery and recordation of this Agreement
and any such Deed of Trust.
13.2 ATTORNMENT. Newhall hereby attorns to and shall recognize
Owner's Lender as Newhall's landlord under this Agreement and shall promptly
execute and deliver any instrument that Owner may require to evidence such
attornment, after Newhall approves of the instrument, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
ARTICLE 14
FORCE MAJEURE
If either party under this Agreement is delayed or prevented from
the performance of any act required hereunder by reason of acts of God, labor
troubles, inability to procure materials, restrictive governmental laws or
regulations or other causes without fault and beyond the reasonable control of
the party obligated (financial inability excepted), performance of such act
shall be excused for the period of the delay and the period for the performance
of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such
delay, but no such event shall excuse Newhall's late payment of a Subsidy
payment.

ARTICLE 18
ARBITRATION
Any dispute between the parties hereto shall be determined by
arbitration. Whenever any such dispute arises between the parties hereto in
connection with this Agreement and either party gives written notice to the
other that such dispute shall be determined by arbitration, then (unless the
Expedited Arbitration procedures of Article 19 apply) within twenty (20) days
after the giving of the notice, both parties shall select and hire one member
("Judge") of the panel of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc.
("JAMS"). The Judge shall be a retired judge experienced with commercial real
property disputes in the County in which the Property is located. As soon as
reasonably possible, but no later than thirty (30) days after the Judge is
selected, the Judge shall schedule the arbitration hearing at a location
reasonably acceptable to Newhall, Owner and the Judge. The Judge shall determine
the matter within ten (10) days after the conclusion of any such arbitration
hearing. The arbitration hearing shall be conducted in accordance with JAMS'
procedures for major matters, except as provided otherwise in this Agreement.
All determinations by the Judge shall be binding on Owner and Newhall and may be
entered into a court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall pay one-half
the costs and expenses of the Judge.
If Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. ceases to
exist, and either party gives written notice to the other that a dispute shall
be determined by arbitration, then, unless agreed otherwise in writing by the
parties, all arbitrations hereunder shall be governed by California Code of
Civil Procedure Sections 1280 through 1294.2, inclusive, as amended or
recodified from time to time, to the extent they do not conflict with this
Article. Any determination by arbitration hereunder may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction. Within ten (10) days after delivery of such notice, each
party shall select an arbitrator with at least five (5) years' experience in
commercial real property transactions in the County in which the Property is
located and advise the other party of its selection in writing. The two
arbitrators so named shall meet promptly and shall name a third arbitrator
within the succeeding period of five (5) days. Said three arbitrators thereafter
shall schedule an arbitration hearing with Owner and Newhall at a mutually
convenient place within thirty (30) days thereafter and shall render a decision
within ten (10) days after the conclusion of the arbitration hearing. The
decision of any two (2) of said arbitrators rendered in writing and delivered to
the parties hereto shall be final and binding on the parties.
If either party fails to appoint an arbitrator within the
prescribed time, and/or if either party fails to appoint an arbitrator with the
qualifications specified herein, and/or if any two arbitrators are unable to
agree upon the appointment of a third arbitrator within the prescribed time,
then the Superior Court of the County in which the Property is located may, upon
request of any party, appoint such arbitrators, as the case may be, and the
arbitrators as a group shall have the same power and authority to render a final
and binding decision as where the appointments are made pursuant to the
provisions of the preceding paragraph. All arbitrators shall be individuals with
at least five (5) years' experience negotiating or arbitrating disputes arising
out of commercial real property transactions in the County where the Property is
located.

EXPEDITED ARBITRATION
Whenever this Agreement calls for an Expedited Arbitration, such
arbitration shall be conducted under this Article 19. An arbitration under this
Section ("Expedited Arbitration") shall be conducted by one neutral Arbitrator
(who shall be a commercial real estate lawyer or professional property manager
with at least ten (10) years experience in connection with the ownership,
leasing, development and management of first-class, shopping centers in Los
Angeles County) mutually agreed upon by both parties, or if the parties cannot
agree on a single arbitrator within five (5) business days after this Article 19
is invoked, then by the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of the County of
Los Angeles, who shall select such single arbitrator from a list of no more than
five (5) names submitted by each party prior to the hearing before such judge.
The Arbitrator so selected shall then hold a hearing within five (5) business
days after its selection, at which time each party may present its position on
the issue in question, with any written documents and testimony of witnesses
that such party believes are necessary to support its position; provided,
however, that no party shall be permitted to present more than eight (8) hours
of witness testimony and argument to the Arbitrator, unless both parties agree
otherwise. There shall be no discovery procedures allowed in connection with
such Expedited Arbitration, and no party shall have any contact with the
Arbitrator except at the hearing. The Arbitrator shall render its decision on
the issue by a written notice to the parties involved within five (5) business
days after concluding the hearing (which may be adjourned by the Arbitrator in
its reasonable discretion). The decision of the Arbitrator shall be final and
binding on the parties for the purposes of this Agreement. Except as provided
otherwise herein, such arbitration shall
