AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT, made this 5th day of May, 1997, among Northtown Mall Partners, a California general partnership ("Seller"), Northtown Associates, a Delaware general partnership, and state of Wisconsin Investment Board, an independent state agency created pursuant to the laws of the state of Wisconsin (collectively, "Lender"), and Northtown LLP, a Minnesota limited liability partnership in which the sole partners are Lender ("Buyer"). RECITALS Seller owns the Northtown Mall Shopping Center in the City of Blaine, Anoka County, Minnesota (the "Shopping Center"). Lender and Seller are parties to (i) a Loan Agreement dated March 15, 1991, between Lender, as lender, and Seller, as borrower, providing for a loan (the "Loan") of up to $58,000,000 (the "Loan Agreement"); (ii) a $58,000,000 promissory note dated March 15, 1991, between Seller, as maker, and Lender, as payee (the "Note") which evidences the Loan; (iii) a Combination Mortgage, Security Agreement and Fixture Financing Statement dated March 15, 1991, between Seller, as mortgagor, and Lender, as mortgagee, mortgaging the Shopping Center as security for the Note (the "Mortgage"); (iv) a Collateral Assignment of Rents and Leases dated March 15, 1991, between Seller, as assignor, and Lender, as assignee, assigning leases and rents and other income from the Shopping Center as additional security for the Note (the "Assignment of Rents:); (v) a Collateral Assignment of Licenses and contracts dated march 15, 1991, between Seller, as assignor, and Lender, as assignee, assigning licenses, contracts and other items as additional security for the Note (the "Collateral Assignment"); (vi) a Tax and Insurance Premium Deposit Agreement dated March 15, 1991, among Seller, Lender and Norwest Bank Minnesota (the "Tax Deposit Agreement"), providing for the creation and funding of a tax and insurance escrow account which has been established and is being maintained as Norwest Bank account #12628300 (the "Tax Account"); (vii) a Reserve Account Deposit Agreement dated March 15, 1991, among Seller, Lender and Norwest Bank Minnesota (the "Improvement Deposit Agreement"), providing, among other things, for the creation, investment and distribution of a "5% Reserve Account" which has been established and is being maintained as Norwest Bank account #12628400 (the "Reserve Account"); (viii) an Option Agreement dated March 15, 1991, between Seller, as optionor, and Lender, as optionee, granting Lender an option to purchase the Shopping Center (the "Option Agreement"); (ix) a Grant of Right of First Refusal and Restriction on Transfer dated March 15, 1991, between Seller and Lender, granting Lender a right of first refusal to purchase the Shopping Center (the "First Refusal Agreement"); and (x) a Collateral Assignment of Real Estate Management Agreement dated March 15, 1991, between Seller and Lender, collaterally assigning to Lender seller's interest under the management agreement for the Shopping Center (the "Management Agreement Assignment"). The Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Rents, Collateral Assignment, Option Agreement, First Refusal Agreement and Management Agreement Assignment are called collectively the "Loan Documents". Because the contractor for the improvement of the HomePlace space in the Shopping Center has not been paid in full, the mechanics liens listed on Exhibit A hereto (the "Liens") have been filed against the Shopping Center by the contractor and some of its subcontractors. In addition, the leasing commission payable to Madison Marquette Realty Services and co-broker in the amount of $207,192.00 (the "HomePlace Commission") with respect to the HomePlace lease has not been paid. An action to foreclose the Liens captioned C.F. Haglin & Sons, Inc. vs. Northtown Mall Partners, et. al., Court File No. C1-97-898 (the "Action") has been commenced in the district court for the Tenth Judicial District of Minnesota. Lender has exercised its option to purchase the Shopping Center pursuant to the Option Agreement, with a May 12, 1997, closing date established by Lender's notice of exercise, and has assigned its purchase right to Buyer. The unpaid balance of the Note is about $51,500.000. The Purchase price for the Shopping Center as determined pursuant to the procedure established by the Option Agreement is $43,000,000. Since the principal balance of the Note exceeds the purchase price under the Option Agreement, no cash is payable to Seller under the Option Agreement. However, based upon negotiations prompted by Lender's desire to close its purchase of the Shopping Center before May 12 and by certain claims made by Seller for reimbursement of HomePlace costs, the parties have discussed a $1,200,000 payment to Seller at closing of the Shopping Center sale on the following terms: (i) the Shopping Center will be conveyed to Buyer concurrently with execution and delivery of this Agreement, with the conveyance on and subject to the terms of the Option Agreement except as modified or supplemented by this Agreement; (ii) Buyer will pay Seller $1,200,000 at closing in wired funds; (iii) Seller may retain the balance in First Bank, Account #0002 01 031 00, (the "Cash Account"), which represents cash on hand from Shopping Center operations. (iv) Buyer will pay the transfer tax, if any, payable with respect to the sale of the Shopping Center to Buyer; (v) Seller will not be required to pay or provide a credit for any real estate taxes or special assessments relating to the Shopping Center or any accrued and unpaid interest on the Note; (vi) the Tax Account, the Reserve Account, any real estate tax refunds less payments now or hereafter owing to Marvin F. Poer, Inc. and any insurance premium refunds to which seller may be or become entitled will be transferred to Buyer; (vii) Buyer will pay the Liens and the HomePlace Commission, and secure dismissal of the Action; (viii)Seller will pay all accounts payable relating to operation or maintenance of the Shopping Center other than (a) the Liens and the HomePlace Commission and (b) accounts payable relating to operation and maintenance of the Shopping Center after March 31, 1997; (ix) the economic closing of the sale of the Shopping Center to Buyer shall be as of April 1, 1997, i.e., the April Mortgage payment and all other April expenses would be paid from April rents, and any excess would go to Buyer; (x) all tenant payments received by Buyer and all tenant payments received by Seller after March 31, 1997 (collectively "Post- March Tenant Payments") shall be retained by Buyer or paid by Seller to Buyer, as the case may be, even if they represent rents or reimbursement payments attributable to the period before closing, and Seller shall at Buyer's option either dismiss or substitute Buyer as plaintiff in actions relating to the Premises or the leases; (xi) the Loan Agreement, Tax Deposit Agreement and Improvement Deposit Agreement will be terminated, but the Loan Documents will remain outstanding; (xii) Seller will be released by Lender and Buyer from all indebtedness, claims and liability under the Loan Agreement, Tax Deposit Agreement, Improvement Deposit Agreement and Loan Documents and all other claims and liability except for claims arising from third party claims and claims arising under this Agreement or instruments or agreements executed and delivered by Seller pursuant to this Agreement or the Option Agreement; and (xiii) Buyer and Lender will be released by seller from all claims and liability under the Loan Agreement, Tax Deposit Agreement, Improvement Deposit Agreement and Loan Documents and all other claims and liabilities except for claims arising from third party claims and claims arising under this Agreement or instruments or agreements executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the Option Agreement.
