Securities
Purchase Agreement
Pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated October 26, 2009 (the “Securities
Purchase Agreement”), among the Company, Cedar Shopping Centers Partnership
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, RioCan Holdings and RioCan REIT, RioCan
Holdings acquired, on October 30, 2009, 6,666,666 shares of Common Stock at a
price of $6.00 per share and a warrant to purchase 1,428,570 additional shares
of Common Stock (the “Equity Investment”). The warrant is exercisable at any
time up to two years following the closing of the Equity Investment at a price
of $7.00 per share. RioCan Holdings has agreed not to sell, assign, transfer or
otherwise dispose of the shares of Common Stock or the warrant for one year,
subject to certain exceptions. Additionally, the Company’s board of directors
agreed to waive a prohibition contained in the Company’s articles of
incorporation with respect to any person owning more than 9.9% of the Common
Stock in order to permit RioCan Holdings to acquire up to 16% of the outstanding
Common Stock.
RioCan
Holdings has agreed that for a period of three years after closing of the Equity
Investment, except as otherwise agreed, it will not without the prior consent of
the Company’s board of directors (a) acquire, directly or indirectly, any
additional securities of the Company, (b) directly or indirectly or through any
other person, solicit proxies with respect to securities under any circumstance
or become a “participant” in any “election contest” relating to the election of
directors of the Company (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation
14A under the Act); provided, that RioCan Holdings may vote its shares in any
manner it deems appropriate; (c) deposit any securities in a voting trust, or
subject any securities to a voting or similar agreement; (d) directly or
indirectly or through or in conjunction with any other person, engage in a
tender or exchange offer for the Company’s securities made by any other person
or entity without the prior approval of the Company, or engage in any proxy
solicitation or any other activity with any other person or entity relating to
the Company without the prior approval of the Company; or (e) take any action
alone or in concert with any other person to acquire or change the control of
the Company or participate in any group that is seeking to obtain or take
control of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, RioCan Holdings may
acquire additional shares of the Common Stock on the open market if its
ownership interest is diluted in connection with certain events such as the
issuance of securities in an acquisition, merger, joint venture or sale or
purchase of assets. Moreover, the three-year standstill period described above
shall no longer apply and RioCan Holdings may acquire additional shares of the
Common Stock in the event a public tender offer is made and the Company
announces (i) a recommended sale or merger transaction or (ii) a process to
solicit proposals to acquire or merge with the Company.
RioCan
Holdings also has, subject to certain exceptions, a pre-emptive right to
maintain its percentage ownership interest in the Company with respect to the
Company’s issuance of any
CUSIP No.:

additional
shares of Common Stock, provided that RioCan Holdings owns at least 9.9% of the
Common Stock. Additionally, RioCan Holdings has the right to nominate one member
of RioCan REIT’s senior management or its board of trustees to serve as a
director on the Company’s board of directors. Raghunath Davloor,
RioCan’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, was appointed to the
board of directors of the Company at the closing of the Equity Investment as
RioCan Holdings’ initial nominee.
The
Securities Purchase Agreement may be amended, modified or waived by an
instrument in writing signed by each of the parties thereto
Pursuant
to the Guaranty given by RioCan REIT in favor of the Company and Cedar Shopping
Centers Partnership L.P., dated October 26, 2009 (the “Guaranty”), RioCan REIT
has guaranteed the performance of RioCan Holdings’ obligations under the
Securities Purchase Agreement.
Registration
Rights Agreement
Under the
Registration Rights Agreement, dated October 30, 2009, between the Company and
RioCan Holdings, the Company agreed to register the shares of Common Stock
acquired by RioCan Holdings, including those under the warrant, within one year
of the closing of the Equity Investment. The Company is responsible for the
costs and expenses associated with such registration.
The
Company will keep the registration statement and prospectus effective until the
earlier of (i) twenty-four months after the later of the effective date of the
registration statement and October 26, 2010, (ii) the date on which all such
registrable securities have been disposed of under such registration statement
and (iii) such time as all such registrable securities have been otherwise
transferred to holders who may trade such securities without restriction under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Company
has delivered a new certificate of ownership without a restrictive legend (the
earliest of such dates being the “Expiration Date”) or as otherwise reasonably
requested by the holders of such securities.
The
Company has the right to include shares of other holders of Common Stock in any
registration statement under the Registration Rights Agreement, provided that it
does not negatively impact such registration with respect to RioCan Holdings or
affiliates. Commencing on the Expiration Date and for three years thereafter, if
the Company (i) proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities
Act with respect to the an offering of equity securities by the Company for its
own account or for stockholders of the Company for their account other than a
registration statement on Forms S-8 or S-4 or any such equivalent then in effect
and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of
registrable securities held by RioCan Holdings or its affiliates, the Company
shall provide RioCan Holdings or its affiliates with written notice that that
they may include their registrable securities therein or (ii) has then in effect
a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to equity
securities of the Company (other than a registration statement on Forms S-8 or
S-4 or any such equivalent then in effect or the registration statement on Form
S-3 filed by the Company on November 17, 2008) and such registration statement
may be used for the registration of registrable securities held by RioCan
Holdings or it affiliates, then the Company shall register the sale of such
registrable securities as RioCan Holdings or affiliates may request, subject to
certain exceptions.
The
Registration Rights Agreement may be amended or modified, and its provisions may
be waived, with the consent of the Company and RioCan Holdings.

Pursuant
to the Agreement Regarding Purchase of Partnership Interests, dated October 26,
2009 (the “Partnership Interests Agreement”), between Cedar Shopping Centers
Partnership L.P. and RioCan Holdings, the parties thereto have agreed to form a
joint venture with respect to seven supermarket-anchored properties presently
owned and managed by the Company. The Company will hold a 20% interest in the
joint venture and RioCan Holdings will acquire the remaining 80% interest. The
properties consist of supermarket-anchored shopping centers in Connecticut,
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. Closing for all but two of the properties are
subject to receipt of lender consents to the transfer of properties to the joint
venture. Closings of the joint venture arrangements are expected to be completed
in the first quarter of 2010, except for two properties that are expected to
close in November 2009.
Additionally,
RioCan Holdings and the Company have agreed to enter into additional joint
ventures to be owned 80%/20% to acquire additional supermarket-anchored retail
properties, primarily in the northeastern United States during the next two
years. Related to the future acquisitions, the Company has granted to RioCan
Holdings a right of first refusal for two years in the same joint venture format
on primarily supermarket-anchored properties and other properties in excess of
50,000 square feet to be acquired by the Company in the states of New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maryland and Virginia. The
Company in return will have a first right of refusal on RioCan Holdings’ and its
affiliates’ opportunities to acquire income producing properties that are
located in the same states as above (subject to certain
exceptions).
In both
the existing and future joint ventures, the Company will provide property
management, leasing, construction management and financial management services
at standard rates. The Company will also be entitled to certain fees on
acquisitions, dispositions, financings and refinancings.
Except as
otherwise expressly set forth therein, the Partnership Interests Agreement may
be modified by an agreement in writing signed by all the parties thereto or
their respective successors in interest.
The
foregoing summaries of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Registration
Rights Agreement, the Partnership Interests Agreement and the Guaranty do not
purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the
complete text of such agreements attached hereto as Exhibit 2, Exhibit 3,
Exhibit 4 and Exhibit 5, respectively.
As of the
date of this statement, except as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons
or Mr. MacKinnon has any present plan or intention which would result in or
relate to any of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item
4 of Schedule 13D, although either of them may develop such plans or
proposals.
The
Reporting Persons intend to review on a continuing basis their respective
investments in the Company. As of the date of this statement, no determination
has been made by RioCan REIT or RioCan Holdings to acquire additional shares of
Common Stock or dispose of any shares of Common Stock now held by them, although
either of them may decide to so acquire or dispose of shares of Common Stock in
a manner consistent with their obligations under the Securities Purchase
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Partnership Interests
Agreement, as they may be amended from time to time. Any such determination will
depend on market conditions prevailing from time to time and on other conditions
that may be applicable depending on the nature of the transaction or
transactions involved.

Registration
Rights Agreement (this “Agreement”) dated October 30,
2009, by and between Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the

W I T N E S S E T H
:
WHEREAS, the Company and the
Investor entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement dated October 26, 2009
(the “Purchase
Agreement”) pursuant to which the Investor will acquire shares of Common
Stock of the Company and a Warrant to acquire shares of Common Stock of the
Company;
WHEREAS, the Company desires
to grant to the Investor certain registration rights with respect to Registrable
Securities (as hereinafter defined) acquired by the Investor pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and
valuable consideration set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as

for counsel for any Holder, which shall be borne by such Holder, or (y)
underwriting discounts and commissions and reimbursable underwriters’ expenses
attributable to the Registrable Securities being sold by the Selling Holders
thereof, which shall be borne by such Selling Holders pro rata on the basis of
the relative number of Registrable Securities included in the applicable
registration statement. With respect to Piggy Back Registrations
pursuant to Section 2.2(b), the Holders shall bear all Costs and Expenses
relating to inclusion of their Registrable Securities pro rata on the basis of
the relative number of Registrable Securities included in the Piggy Back
Registration, except for fees and disbursements of counsel to the
Company.
“Holder” means (i) the Investor

exchange for or in replacement of, the shares of Common Stock referred to in
subsections (a) and (b) above including, without limitation, stock splits,
reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, recapitalizations or similar events;
provided, however, that a security shall cease to be a Registrable Security only
upon it having been effectively registered under the Securities Act and
transferred pursuant to such registration or otherwise transferred to holders
who may trade such security without restriction under the Securities Act, and
the Company has delivered a new certificate or other evidence of ownership for
such security not bearing a restrictive legend.
“Securities Act” means the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any similar Federal law then in
force.
“Selling Holder” means any
Holder who is selling Registrable Securities pursuant to a public offering

2.1 Registration Procedures and
Expenses.
(a) The
Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement on
Form S-3 meeting the requirements of the Securities Act relating to the sale of
the Registrable Securities by the Holders (the “Registration Statement”) from
time to time. Such Registration Statement (i) shall be a shelf
registration statement providing for the registration and the sale of
Registrable Securities by the Holders on a continuous or delayed basis pursuant
to Rule 415 of the Securities Act, (ii) shall comply as to form in all material
respects with the requirements of Form S-3 and include all financial statements
required by the Commission to be filed therewith or be incorporated therein,
(iii) shall be reasonably acceptable to the Investor’s counsel and (iv) shall
provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities from time to time pursuant
to any method or combination of methods legally available by the Holders, and
the Registration Statement and any form of prospectus included or incorporated
by reference therein (or any prospectus supplement relating thereto) shall
reflect such plan of distribution or method of sale.
(b) The
Company shall, subject to receipt of necessary information from the Holders, use
its reasonable best efforts to cause the Commission to declare the Registration
Statement effective on or prior to the date that is one year from the date
hereof (such date, the “Lockup
Termination Date”).
(c) The
Company shall (i) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be (A) reasonably necessary to keep the Registration Statement
continuously effective until the earliest of (x) twenty four months after the
later of the effective date of the Registration Statement and the Lockup
Termination Date, (y) the date on which all Registrable Securities have been
disposed of under the Registration Statement and (z) such time as all
Registrable Securities have been otherwise transferred to holders who may trade
such securities without restriction under the Securities Act, and the Company
has delivered a new certificate or other evidence of ownership for such
securities not bearing a restrictive legend (the earliest of such dates being
referred to herein as the “Expiration Date”), or (B)
reasonably
- 3
-
requested
by the Holders (whether or not required by the form on which the securities are
being registered), and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause each such
amendment to be declared effective by the Commission, if required, as soon as
practicable after the filing thereof, (ii) cause any related prospectus to be
supplemented by any required supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed with
the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act (or any similar
provisions then in force under the Securities Act), to the extent required, and
(iii) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act
with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by the Registration
Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods
of disposition as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Holders
and set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or such prospectus as
so supplemented.
(d) The
Company shall bear the Costs and Expenses of the Registration
Statement.
2.2 Other Holders; Piggyback
Rights.
(a) The
Company shall have the right to include in the Registration Statement the shares
of Common Stock of any shareholder of the Company who has registration rights
enabling it to include its shares in such Registration Statement, provided that
such shares of Common Stock of any other shareholder of the Company
may only be included in the Registration Statement to the extent such inclusion
(i) will not reduce the amount of Registrable Securities of the Holders included
in the Registration Statement and (ii) in the case of an underwritten offering,
based on the written advice of the underwriter for the Registrable Securities,
will not materially adversely affect the proposed offering price, the timing,
the distribution method, or the probability of success of the
offering.
(b) For
a period commencing on the Expiration Date and ending three years after the
Expiration Date, if the Company (i) proposes to file a registration statement
under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities by the
Company for its own account or for stockholders of the Company for their account
other than a registration statement on Forms S-8 or S-4 or any equivalent form
then in effect and the registration form to be used may be used for the
registration of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall (A) give written
notice of such proposed filing to the Holders as soon as practicable but in no
event less than ten business days before the anticipated filing date, which
notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such
offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed
underwriter(s), if any, of the offering, and (B) offer to the Holders in such
notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable
Securities as such Holders may request in writing within five business days
following receipt of such notice or (ii) has then in effect a registration
statement under the Securities Act with respect to equity securities by the
Company (other than a registration statement on Forms S-8 or S-4 or any
equivalent form then in effect or the registration statement on Form S-3 filed
by the Company with the Commission on November 17, 2008) and such registration
statement may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities, then the
Company shall register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as any
Holder may request in writing (any such registration described in clause (i)(B)
or clause (ii) of this Section 2.2(b) is referred to as a “Piggy−Back Registration”);
provided, however, that no request for a Piggy−Back Registration may be made
prior to the Expiration Date. If at any time after giving written
notice of its intention to register
- 4
-
any
securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed
in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason
not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at
its election, give written notice of such determination to each Holder and, (x)
in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its
obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such
registration, and (y) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall
be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities for the same period
as the delay in registering such other securities. The Company shall use its
reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be included in
such Piggy−Back Registration and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the
underwriter(s) of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable
Securities requested to be included in a Piggy−Back Registration on the same
terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the
sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the
intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All Holders proposing to
distribute their securities through a Piggy−Back Registration that involves an
underwriter(s) shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with
the underwriter(s) selected for such Piggy−Back Registration and (ii) complete
and execute all questionnaires, powers−of−attorney, indemnities, opinions and
other documents required under the terms of such underwriting
agreement. The Holder shall be responsible for all Costs and Expenses
with respect to each Piggy Back Registration pro rata on the basis of the
relative number of Registrable Securities included in the Piggy Back
Registration.
(c) If
the underwriter for a Piggy−Back Registration advises the Company and the
Holders in writing that in their opinion the inclusion of Registrable Securities
by a Holder would materially adversely affect the proposed offering price, the
timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of the offering,
then the Company shall include in such offering, as to each Holder exercising
piggyback rights pursuant to Section 2.2(b) and any other person or persons
having a written contractual right to request their shares of Common Stock or
other securities of the Company be included in such offering, that number of
shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company that the Company is so
advised can be sold in such offering without materially adversely affecting the
proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability
of success of the offering, determined as follows:
(i) if
the registration is undertaken for the Company’s account: (a) first, the shares
of Common Stock or other securities of the Company that the Company desires to
sell and (b) second, any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the
Company held by holders of written contractual piggy−back registration rights
(including the Holders) which can be included therein without, in the opinion of
the underwriters, materially adversely affecting the proposed offering price,
the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of the
offering, pro rata among such holders on the basis of the relative number of
shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company requested to be
included in such registration by such holders, and
(ii) if
the registration is a “demand” registration undertaken at the demand of persons
other than the Holders: (a) first, the shares of Common Stock or other
securities of the Company to be sold for the account of such demanding persons
that can be sold without, in the opinion of the underwriters, materially
adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution
method, or the probability of success of the offering and (b) second, any shares
of Common Stock or other securities of the
- 5
-
Company
held by other holders of written contractual piggy−back registration rights
(including the Holders) which can be included therein without, in the opinion of
the underwriters, materially adversely affecting the proposed offering price,
the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of the
offering, pro rata among such holders on the basis of the relative number of
shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company requested to be
included in such registration by such holders.
2.3 Other Registration
Procedures. With respect to any registration of Registrable
Securities effected pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2(b), the Company
shall:
(a) furnish
to the Selling Holders with respect to such Registrable Securities (and to each
underwriter, if any, of such Registrable Securities), without charge, such
reasonable number of copies of any registration statement in respect of such
Registrable Securities or any amendment or supplement thereto (in each case
including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein)
and the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each
preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as the Selling Holders or such
underwriter may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or
other disposition of all or any of the Registrable Securities by such Selling
Holders; provided, however, that the obligation of the Company to deliver copies
of prospectuses to the Selling Holders shall be subject to the receipt by the
Company of reasonable assurances from such Selling Holders that such Selling
Holders will comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and of
such other securities or blue sky laws as may be applicable in connection with
any use of such prospectuses;
(b) use
its reasonable best efforts to (x) register and qualify the Registrable
Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such states or
jurisdictions specified in writing by the Selling Holders, keep each such
registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the
period in which the registration statement for such Registrable Securities is
required to be kept effective, and (y) do any and all other acts and things
which may be necessary or advisable to enable each Selling Holder to consummate
the disposition of the Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or
consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so
qualified or has not so consented;
(c) enter
into and perform customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in
customary form) and take such other actions (including, without limitation,
participation in road shows and investor conference calls) as are required in
order to expedite or facilitate the sale of Registrable Securities;
(d) after
the filing of any registration statement in respect of such Registrable
Securities, promptly notify such Selling Holders of any stop order issued or, to
the Company’s knowledge, threatened to be issued by the Commission and use its
reasonable best efforts to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it
if entered;
(e) at
the request of any underwriter of the Registrable Securities in connection with
an underwritten offering, furnish (i) an opinion of counsel, addressed to such
underwriters and such Selling Holders, covering such customary matters as the
underwriter and the Selling Holders may reasonably request and (ii) a comfort
letter or comfort letters from the
- 6
-
Company’s
independent public accountants addressed to the underwriters and such Selling
Holders covering such customary matters as the underwriter or the Selling
Holders may reasonably request;
(f) provide
a CUSIP number for the Registrable Securities included in any registration
statement in respect of such Registrable Securities not later than the effective
date of such registration statement;
(g) cooperate
with such Selling Holders and any underwriter participating in the disposition
of the Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with
any filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
(“FINRA”);
(h) during
the period when the prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act, use its reasonable best efforts promptly to file all documents required to
be filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act;
and
(i) take
such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate
the disposition of Registrable Securities included in any registration statement
in respect of such Registrable Securities.
2.4 Indemnification by the
Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each
Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for the Holders, each
officer, director, trustee, employee and agent of each Holder, and each person,
if any, who controls such Holder or such underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act (but, in the case of an underwriter or a controlling person, only
if such underwriter or controlling person agrees to indemnify the persons
mentioned in subdivision (b) of Section 2.5 hereof in substantially the manner
set forth therein), from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
joint or several, to which such Holder or any such underwriter, officer,
director, trustee, employee, agent or controlling person becomes subject, under
the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (i) are caused by, arise out of,
result from or relate to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement under which Registrable Securities were registered under the
Securities Act, the prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement
thereto, including all documents attached thereto or incorporated by reference
therein or (ii) are caused by, arise out of, result from or relate to the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or
(iii) are caused by, arise out of, result from or relate to any violation by the
Company of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act
applicable to the Company and relating to any action or inaction required of the
Company in connection with such registration; and the Company will reimburse
such Holder and any such underwriter, officer, director, trustee, employee,
agent or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by such Holder, or any such underwriter, officer, director, trustee, employee,
agent or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the
Company will not be liable to any such persons in any such case to the extent
that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of or is based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to
the Company in writing by such person expressly for
- 7
-
inclusion
in any of the foregoing documents. The remedies provided in this Section
2.4 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may
otherwise be available to the Holders at law or in equity.
2.5 Indemnification by the
Holders. Each Holder shall:
(a) Furnish
in writing all information to the Company concerning itself and its holdings of
securities of the Company as shall be required in connection with the
preparation and filing of any registration statement covering any Registrable
Securities; and
(b) Indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who
has signed any registration statement covering any Registrable Securities, each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities
Act and any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for the Company,
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or any
such director, officer, controlling person or underwriter may become subject
under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) are caused by any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration
statement under which Registrable Securities were registered under the
Securities Act, the prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement
thereto, or arising out of or based upon the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading; in each case to the extent, but only to
the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for inclusion in
any of the foregoing documents, and each Holder shall reimburse the Company and
any such underwriter, officer, director or controlling person for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer
or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Each Holder’s liability
under this Section 2.5 shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds
(after deducting any applicable underwriting discount and expenses associated
with the Registrable Securities sold thereunder) received by such Holder from
the sale of Registrable Securities by such Holder. The remedies provided in this
Section 2.5 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which
may otherwise be available to the Company at law or in equity.
2.6 Contribution. In
order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under
the Securities Act in any case in which either (a) the indemnification required
by Section 2.4 is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, or legal or other expenses, with respect to
which indemnity is to be provided thereunder or (b) contribution under the
Securities Act may be required on the part of the indemnified party in
circumstances for which indemnification is provided under Section 2.4; then, and
in each such case, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party,
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and
indemnified parties in connection with the actions which resulted in such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, or legal or other expenses, as well as
any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company
and the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
- 8
-
statement
of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by such party and the parties’ relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be
just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.6 were determined
by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take
into account the equitable considerations referred to in this Section
2.6. No Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess
of the amount by which the net proceeds of the offering (before deducting
expenses) received by such Holder exceeds the amount of any damages that such
Holder has otherwise been required to pay under Section 2.5 and Section 2.6 or
otherwise by reason of untrue or alleged untrue statements or omissions or
alleged omissions. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 12 of the Securities Act) will be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.
2.7 Conduct of Indemnification
Proceedings. Each Holder, the Company and each other person
indemnified pursuant to Section 2.4 or 2.5 hereof will, in the event it receives
notice of the commencement of any action against it in respect of which
indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 2.4 or 2.5, promptly notify the
indemnifying party, in writing, of the commencement of such action and permit
the indemnifying party, if the indemnifying party so notifies the indemnified
party within 10 days after receipt by the indemnifying party of notice of the
commencement of the action, to participate in and to assume the defense of such
action with counsel selected by the indemnifying party; provided, however, that
an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the
fees and disbursements and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if
representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the
indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding. The omission to notify the indemnifying
party promptly of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the
indemnifying party of any liability to indemnify the indemnified party, under
Section 2.4 or Section 2.5 hereof, as applicable, except to the extent the
indemnifying party shall suffer any loss by reason of such failure to give
notice and shall not relieve the indemnifying party of any other liabilities
which it may have under this or any other agreement. Any fees and expenses
incurred by the indemnified party (including any fees and expenses incurred in
connection with investigating or preparing to defend such action or proceeding)
shall be advanced to the indemnified party, as incurred, within thirty (30) days
of written notice thereof to the indemnifying party. Any such
indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
action, claim or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be the expenses of such indemnified
party unless (i) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses
or (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to promptly assume the defense
of such action, claim or proceeding or (iii) the named parties to any such
action, claim or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such
indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and such indemnified party shall
have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to
the indemnifying party and that the assertion of such defenses would create a
conflict of interest such that counsel employed by the indemnifying party could
not faithfully represent the indemnified party (in which case, if such
indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to
employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the
- 9
-
indemnifying
party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action, claim or
proceeding on behalf of such indemnified party, it being understood, however,
that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action,
claim or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions,
claims or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general
allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of
more than one separate firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local
counsel) at any time for all such indemnified parties, unless in the reasonable
judgment of such indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such
indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such
action, claim or proceeding, in which event the indemnifying party shall be

counsels).
2.8 Rule
144. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to file any
and all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act and shall take such further action as the Holders may reasonably
request to the extent required from time to time to enable the Holders to sell
Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the
limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as
such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation
hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company
will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied
with such reporting requirements.
3.1 Notices. All
notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this
Agreement shall be in writing (including telecopier or similar writing) and
shall be deemed to have been given at the time five days after being mailed in
any general or branch office of the United States Postal Service, enclosed in a
registered or certified postpaid envelope, or received if sent by Federal

Holder to the other parties hereto.
3.2 Successors and
Assigns. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of and shall
be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and permitted
assigns, including, without limitation, any successor of the Company by merger,
acquisition, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise. Neither
the Company nor the Investor may assign this Agreement or any of its rights,
duties or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other
party; provided, however, that the Investor may assign its rights, duties or
obligations hereunder to any affiliate of the Investor, provided that such
affiliate agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as a
Holder. Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing herein shall be
construed to provide any rights to any other entity or individual.
3.3 Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed
an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
document.
3.4 Headings. Section
headings are for convenience only and do not control or affect the meaning or
interpretation of any terms or provisions of this Agreement.

10 -
3.5 Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York governing contracts to be made
and performed therein without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law,

hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts sitting in the City
of New York as provided in Section 10.15 of the Purchase Agreement.
3.6 Severability. Should
any part, term, condition or provision hereof or the application thereof be
declared illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable or in conflict with any
other law by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity of the remaining
parts, terms, conditions or provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected
thereby, and the illegal, invalid or unenforceable portions of this Agreement
shall be and hereby are redrafted to conform with applicable law, while leaving
the remaining portions of this Agreement intact, except to the extent necessary
to conform to the redrafted portions hereof.
3.7 Entire
Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and
understanding between the parties and supersedes all proposals, commitments,
writings, negotiations, discussions, agreements and understandings, oral or
written, of every kind and nature between them concerning the subject matter
hereof. This Agreement may not be amended or otherwise modified and no provision
hereof may be waived, without the consent of the Company and the
Investor. No discharge of the terms hereof shall be deemed valid
unless by full performance by the parties or by a writing signed by the parties.
A waiver by any party of any breach or violation of any provision of this
Agreement shall not be deemed or construed as a waiver of any other breach or
violation hereof.
3.8 Injunctive
Relief. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that in the
event of a breach by any of them of any material provision of this Agreement,
the aggrieved party may be without an adequate remedy at law. Each of
the parties therefore agrees that in the event of such a breach hereof the
aggrieved party may elect to institute and prosecute proceedings in any court
having jurisdiction as agreed to in Section 3.5 to seek to enforce specific
performance or to enjoin the continuing breach hereof. By seeking or
obtaining any such relief, the aggrieved party shall not be precluded from
seeking or obtaining any other relief to which it may be entitled.

GUARANTY
This
Guaranty is given this 26th day
of October, 2009, by RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust, an unincorporated
closed end trust constituted in accordance with the laws of the Province of
Ontario (the “Guarantor”), in favor of Cedar
Shopping Centers, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and Cedar Shopping Centers
Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (collectively “Cedar”).
WHEREAS, pursuant to a
securities purchase agreement dated the date hereof (the “Agreement”), a direct or
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Guarantor (the “Purchaser”) will be acquiring
shares of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock of Cedar Shopping
Centers, Inc.;
WHEREAS, the Guarantor is the
direct or indirect sole stockholder of the Purchaser and expects to derive a
financial advantage from this Guaranty; and
WHEREAS, in order to induce
Cedar to enter into the Agreement with Purchaser, the Guarantor has agreed to
give this Guaranty in favor of Cedar.
NOW, THEREFORE, FOR VALUE RECEIVED,
THIS GUARANTY WITNESSETH as follows:
1. The
Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the due
performance and prompt payment in full of any and all existing and future
obligations of any and all kinds of the Purchaser to Cedar arising out of or in
connection with the Agreement. If any term, condition or provision of
the Agreement or the application thereof to any party or circumstance shall be
ruled invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality
-
2 -
or
enforceability of any term, condition or provision of this Guaranty shall not in
any manner be affected or impaired.
2. The
liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty is an absolute, primary, direct,
present and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and may be
enforced without Cedar first attempting to collect from or without Cedar first
resorting to any rights or remedies Cedar may have against the Purchaser or any
other person or entity.
3. The
Guarantor hereby acknowledges that no release or extinguishment of the
Purchaser’s obligations or liabilities (other than in accordance with the terms
of the Agreement or otherwise with the written agreement of Cedar), whether by
decree in any bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise, shall affect the continuing
validity and enforceability of this Guaranty.
4. The
Guarantor hereby consents to all of the terms and provisions of the Agreement as
the same may be from time to time hereafter amended or changed, and waives and
agrees not to assert as a defense in any action upon this Guaranty (a) notice of
any amendment, modification or change in any term, condition or provision of the
Agreement; (b) notice of any default under the Agreement; (c) demand for
performance or observance of, and any enforcement of any term, condition or
provision of, or any pursuit or exhaustion of any rights or remedies against
Purchaser; and (d) to the extent it may lawfully do so, any and all demands and
notices of every kind and description with respect to the foregoing or which may
be required to be given by any statute or rule of law and any defense of any
kind which it may now or hereafter have with respect to this Guaranty or the
Agreement, except to the extent any such defense is available to
Purchaser.
-
3 -
5. No
failure on the part of Cedar to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right,
remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver under this Guaranty, nor
shall any single or partial exercise by Cedar of any right, remedy or power
hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any other right, remedy or
power.
6. The
Guaranty herein contained shall be a continuing guaranty and shall remain in
full force until all of the obligations of the Purchaser under the Agreement
shall have been satisfied in full.
7. This
Guaranty shall be binding upon the Guarantor, its successors and assigns, and
shall inure to the benefit of Cedar, its successors and assigns.
8. Cedar
acknowledges that this letter agreement shall be conclusively taken to have been
executed by, or by officers of the Guarantor on behalf of, the trustees of the
Guarantor only in their capacity as trustees of the Guarantor. Cedar
hereby disavows any liability upon and waive any claim against holders of units
of the Guarantor and annuitants under plans of which holders of units of the
Guarantor act as trustee or carrier and the obligations created hereunder are
not personally binding upon, nor shall resort be had to, nor shall recourse or
satisfaction be sought from, the private property of any trustee or officer of
the Guarantor or any holder of units of the Guarantor or annuitant, but the
property of the Guarantor from time to time or a specific portion thereof only
shall be bound. It is agreed that the benefit of this provision is
restricted to the trustees and officers of the Guarantor, each holder of units
issued by the Guarantor and annuitants and, solely for that purpose, the
undersigned signing officers of the Guarantor have entered into this provision
as agent and trustee for and on behalf of the trustees of the Guarantor, each
holder of units of the Guarantor and each annuitant.
-
4 -
9. Any
demand or notice to be made or given by Cedar to the Guarantor under this
Guaranty shall be given by notice addressed to the Guarantor at the address
provided in Section 10.8 of the Agreement.
10. This
Guaranty cannot be changed or terminated orally and shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving
effect to the principles of conflict of laws.
- 5 -
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the
Guarantor has executed this Guaranty on the day and year first
abovementioned.

1,428,570
Shares
October
30, 2009
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, subject to
the provisions hereinafter set forth, the undersigned, CEDAR SHOPPING CENTERS, INC.,
a Maryland corporation (together with its successors and permitted assigns, the
“Company”), hereby
certifies that
RIOCAN
HOLDINGS USA INC.
or its
registered assigns is entitled to subscribe for and purchase, during the period
specified in this Warrant (this “Warrant”), 1,428,570 shares
(subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided) of duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company,
$0.06 par value (“Common
Stock”), at an initial exercise price of $7.00 per share (“Exercise Price”), subject,
however, to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth. This Warrant is issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase
Agreement dated October 26, 2009 among the Company, Cedar Shopping Centers
Partnership, L.P., RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust and RioCan Holdings USA
Inc. (the “Purchase
Agreement”), and, by execution of the Purchase Agreement, the holder
hereof has agreed (and any transferee of this Warrant will agree) to comply with
the obligations set forth herein and therein.
1.
|
Exercise of This
Warrant. The rights represented by this Warrant may be
exercised by the holder hereof, in whole or in part (but not as to a
fractional share of Common Stock), by the surrender of this Warrant
(properly endorsed if required) at the office of the Company, 44 South
Bayles Avenue, Port Washington, New York 11050, or such other office or
agency of the Company as the Company may designate by notice in writing to
the holder hereof at the address of such holder appearing on the books of
the Company, at
|
-
2 -
any time and from time to time after the date hereof and before
5:00 P.M., New York City time, two years from the date hereof (the “Exercise Period”) upon payment
to the Company of the Exercise Price for such shares.
The
Exercise Price for shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
shall be payable as follows: (a) by payment to the Company of
the Exercise Price in cash, by check or by wire transfer of funds or (b) by
surrender to the Company for cancellation of notes or debt securities of the
Company having a principal balance plus accrued interest on the date of exercise
equal to the Exercise Price for such shares or (c) by a combination of the
methods described in clauses (a) and (b) above. The Company agrees
that the shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the holder hereof
as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on
which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such shares
as aforesaid. Certificates for the shares of Common Stock so
purchased shall be delivered to the holder hereof as promptly as practicable
after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised, and,
unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing the number of
shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been
exercised shall also be delivered to the holder hereof within such
time.
2.
|
Reservation, Issuance and
Listing of Stock.
|
|
A.
|
A. The
Company will at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive
rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the
purpose of issue upon exercise of the Warrant, such number of shares of
Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon exercise of the
Warrant. The Company will, at its expense, use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause such shares to be listed (subject to issuance
or notice of issuance) on all stock exchanges, if any, on which the
Company’s Common Stock may become listed during the Exercise
Period.
|
|
B.
|
The
Company covenants that all shares which may be issued upon the exercise of
the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly
authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, not subject
to preemptive rights and free from all taxes, liens, charges and security
interests with respect to the issue
thereof.
|
3.
|
Exercise
Price. The above provisions are, however, subject to the
following:
|
|
A.
|
Initial Exercise
Price. The initial Exercise Price of $7.00 per share
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter
provided.
|
|
B.
|
Adjustment of Exercise Price
and Number of Shares of Common Stock Issuable. The
Exercise Price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
hereof shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with
the following provisions, such adjustments shall take effect at the close
of business on the date of any such split, subdivision, dividend or
combination, as the case may be:
|
-
3 -
|
(1)
|
In
case the Company shall at any time split or subdivide the outstanding
shares of Common Stock or shall issue a stock dividend with respect to the
Common Stock resulting in the issuance of additional shares of Common
Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to such event shall be proportionally
increased and the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such event
shall be proportionately decreased to reflect such split, subdivision or
stock dividend, as the case may
be.
|
|
(2)
|
In
case the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant
is exercisable immediately prior to such event shall be proportionally
decreased and the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such event
shall be proportionately increased to reflect such
combination.
|
|
(3)
|
In
case the Company shall declare a cash dividend on its Common Stock
(excluding Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course), the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to the record date for such dividend shall be
proportionately reduced immediately thereafter to reflect such dividend;
such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is
fixed. In the event that such dividend is not so paid, the
Exercise Price then in effect shall be readjusted, effective as of the
date when the Board of Directors of the Company determines not to pay such
dividend, to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect if such
record date had not been fixed. For purposes of this Warrant,
“Dividends Paid in the
Ordinary Course” shall mean dividends on Common Stock not to exceed
$.225 per share per quarter.
|
|
C.
|
Reorganization, Consolidation,
Merger or Sale. If the Company shall effect a
reorganization, shall merge with or consolidate into another corporation,
or shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all
of its assets and pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, merger,
consolidation or disposition of assets, securities, property or assets of
the Company, successor or transferee or an affiliate thereof or cash are
to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock, then the
holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon
the exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of stock or other
securities, property or assets of the Company, successor, transferee or
affiliate thereof or cash receivable upon or as a result of such
reorganization, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder
of the number of shares of Common Stock equal to that to which the holder
of this Warrant upon the exercise thereof immediately prior to such event
would have been entitled. The provisions of this
subsection 3.C shall similarly apply to
successive reorganizations, mergers, consolidations or dispositions of
assets. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or
transfer hereinabove referred to, this Warrant shall continue in full
force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of
stock and other securities, property, assets and cash receivable upon the
exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization,
consolidation, merger or
|
-
4 -
transfer, as the case may be. The Company shall not
effect any such reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer unless prior
to the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the
Company) resulting therefrom or the corporation purchasing such assets shall, by
written instrument executed and mailed to the registered holder hereof at the
last address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company,
(i) assume the obligation to deliver to such holder such shares of stock,
securities, property or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions,
such holder may be entitled to purchase, and (ii) agree to be bound by all
the terms of this Warrant.
|
D.
|
Notice of
Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price
and any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, then, and in each such
case, the Company, as promptly as practicable thereafter, shall give
written notice thereof to the holder hereof at the address of such holder
as shown on the books of the Company which notice shall state the Exercise
Price as adjusted and the increased or decreased number of shares
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable
detail the method of calculation of
each.
|
|
E.
|
Other
Notices. In case at any time the Company shall propose
to (a) reorganize, or reclassify the capital stock of the Company, or
consolidate, merge or otherwise combine with, or sell all or substantially
all of its assets to, another person or (b) voluntarily or
involuntarily dissolve, liquidate or wind up of the affairs of the
Company; then, in any one or more of said cases, the Company shall give to
the holder hereof at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the date
on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken
for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or
winding up.
|
4.
|
No Voting
Rights. This Warrant shall not entitle the holder hereof
to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the
Company.
|
5.
|
Transfer and Registration of
Warrants. This Warrant and all rights hereunder are
transferable, in whole or in part, at the office or agency of the Company
referred to in Section 1 hereof by the
holder hereof in person or his duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of
this Warrant properly endorsed; provided, that this Warrant may not be
transferred or assigned in whole or in part without compliance with
(i) the provisions of the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) all
applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the
transferee (including, to the extent required by law or reasonably
requested by the Company, the delivery of appropriate investment
representations in customary form). Each taker and holder of
this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that this
Warrant, when endorsed in blank, shall be deemed negotiable, and that the
holder hereof, when this Warrant shall have been so endorsed may be
treated by the Company and all other persons dealing with this Warrant as
the absolute owner thereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to
exercise the rights represented by this Warrant, or to the transfer hereof
on the books of the Company, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding;
but until such transfer on such books, the Company may treat the
registered holder hereof as the owner for all
purposes.
|
-
5 -
6.
|
Exchanges of
Warrants. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the
surrender hereof by the holder hereof at such office or agency of the
Company, for new Warrants of like tenor representing in the aggregate the
right to subscribe for and purchase the number of shares that may be
subscribed for and purchased hereunder, each of such new Warrants to
represent the right to subscribe for and purchase such number of shares as
shall be designated by said holder hereof at the time of such
surrender.
|
7.
|
No Fractional
Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip
representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the
exercise of the Warrant, but, in lieu thereof, there shall be paid an
amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the closing price of a whole
share of Common Stock on the business day preceding the day of
exercise.
|
8.
|
Replacement of
Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation
of the Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction,
upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form
and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon
surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company at its expense
will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like
tenor.
|
9.
|
Remedies. The
Company stipulates that the remedies at law of the holder of this Warrant
in the event of any default or threatened default by the Company in the
performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this Warrant are not
and will not be adequate, and that such terms may be specifically enforced
by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein
or by an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or
otherwise.
|
10.
|
Notices. Except
as otherwise provided herein, any notices hereunder shall be deemed to
have been given five (5) days after having been mailed in the United
States by registered or certified mail, addressed if given to the Company
to the principal office of the Company, Attention: President,
or if given to a holder of this Warrant addressed to such holder at his
address as the same shall appear on the books of the
Company.
|
11.
|
Miscellaneous. This
Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or
terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by both the Company and
the holder hereof. This Warrant is being delivered in the State
of New York and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and
governed by the laws of such State. The headings in this
Warrant are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or
otherwise affect any of the terms
hereof.
|
12.
|
Expiration of
Warrants. At 5:00 P.M. New York time on the last day of
its Exercise Period, the Warrant, if not exercised prior thereto, shall be
and become wholly void and of no
value.
|
13.
|
No
Impairment. The Company shall not by any action,
including, without limitation, amending its charter documents or through
any reorganization, reclassification, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other similar
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of
any of
|
-
6 -
the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such
actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the holder
hereof against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company shall take all commercially reasonable action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this
Warrant, free and clear of all liens, and shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any
public regulatory body having jurisdiction over it as may be necessary to enable
the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
14.
|
Supplying Information; Rule
144. The Company shall cooperate with the holder hereof
in supplying such information as may be reasonably necessary for such
holder to complete and file any information reporting forms presently or
hereafter required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) as a
condition to the availability of an exemption from the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Act”) for the transfer
hereof. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to at all times make public information available so as to afford
