(b) Prior to the Closing, the Contributors shall cause the Subject Companies to use commercially reasonable efforts to operate the Property in a manner consistent with past practices and to conduct their businesses only in the ordinary course and in a manner consistent with past practices.

In addition, following the expiration or waiver of the Due Diligence Period, the Contributors and other Mills Entities shall not take or permit any material action with respect to the Property or the Subject Companies (which material action shall be deemed to include, without limitation, the creation or incurring any material liability or any Encumbrances) without the prior consent of the Ivanhoe Contributee, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, unless previously approved by or committed to by the Ivanhoe Contributee or any of its Affiliates.

B. the Contributors shall, notwithstanding the Closing, forthwith thereafter, at their own expense, cause to be completed and delivered all of the actions and documents referred to in clauses (c) (i), (ii) and (iii) above and the Contributors shall be entitled to the proceeds from any repayment or transfer of the Mills Affiliate Loans or Affiliate Equity Interests, subject to payment of all costs and Taxes relating thereto, and the Ivanhoe Contributee shall cause the Subject Companies to cooperate with the Contributors, at the expense of the Contributors, in effecting any transfer of any such property or any discharge and release of such Inter-Company Loans, other than the Golober Inter-Company Loans and the Jahold Inter-Company Loans, provided that such actions are effected in accordance with
-15-
all Applicable Laws and do not result in the Ivanhoe Contributee or the Subject Companies incurring any costs, losses, obligations, liabilities or other Claims.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, but without derogating from Section 9 hereof, the Contributors and TMLP shall be responsible for, and shall fully indemnify the Subject Companies and the Ivanhoe Contributee from, all Taxes payable by the Subject Companies in respect of any such Mills Affiliate Loans, Affiliate Equity Interests and Inter-Company Loans (other than the Jahold Inter-Company Loans and the Golober Inter-Company Loans), or any repayment, releases, discharges or transfers thereof, whether before or after Closing, as well as all Claims relating thereto.
