This exclusion shall not apply to expense reimbursements received in connection with con- cession sales, operation of parking facilities, signage or advertising sales, or any other revenue generating activity at the stadium other than the conduct of the game itself (e.g., expense reimbursements for game-day security previously provided by the police, and post-game stadium clean-up previously provided by a municipality, are not treated as AR, if such reimbursement otherwise qualifies). All claims for this exclusion shall be supported by appropriate documentation evidencing the extent to which the Club or Club Affiliate incurred the designated day-of-game expense and the extent to which the governmental entity previously incurred the expense; (F) In addition to the amounts described in Subsection (E) above, 65% of other (i.e., non-day of game) operating or maintenance expense reimbursements only for the specific Teams and agreements as per Paragraph 3 of the letter agreement under the Prior Agreement dated November 21, 2007.

(G) Investments in or contributions toward the purchase of concession equipment by concessionaires on behalf of a Club or a Club’s Stadium, and the value of provided elements related to the operation and maintenance of the soft drink equipment in the Club’s Stadium (i.e., dispensing/vending equipment, service); and (H) The value of luxury boxes that are (1) used by a Club owner for personal purposes or to promote the Club or the owner’s other business interests; or (2) provided to stadium authorities, municipalities, and/or governmental officials, or (3) used or made available for use by the owner(s) of the visiting Club, or (4) provided for the use of a Club head coach; in each case where no revenue is actually received by the Club or a Club Affiliate, except that the value of such luxury boxes will be imputed as AR unless at least one luxury box in the stadium is available and unsold; provided that, in no event shall revenue be imputed for one luxury box that is used by the owner(s) of the Club, and one luxury box that is used or made available for use by the owner(s) of the Visiting Club. Without limiting the foregoing, the value of any luxury box that is provided to a former Club owner in connection with the sale of a Club shall be imputed into AR un- less the prior owner is obliged to pay the club periodic consideration (i.e., annual rent) in connection with such use, in which case such consideration will be included as revenue in AR. (I) Revenues derived from real estate development opportunities in conjunc- tion with or related to any stadium lease, land purchase agreement or other arrangement, provided that such revenues are not substitutions for revenues that would otherwise be included in AR.
