Amendments to Definitions. |
(a) The definition of "Capitalization Value" is hereby deleted and the following substituted therefor:
"Capitalization Value" means, at any time, the sum of (1) with respect to Real Property Businesses (other than UJVs), individually determined, the greater of (x) Combined EBITDA from such businesses (a) in the case of all Real Property Businesses other than hotels and trade show space, for the most recently ended calendar quarter, annualized (i.e., multiplied by four), and (b) in the case of hotels and trade show space, for the most recently ended four consecutive
calendar quarters, in both cases, capitalized at a rate of 6.50% per annum, and (y) the Gross Book Value of such businesses; (2) with respect to Other Investments, which do not have publicly traded shares, the Net Equity Value of such Other Investments; (3) with respect to Real Property UJVs, which do not have publicly traded shares, individually determined, the greater of (x) Combined EBITDA from such Real Property UJVs (a) in the case of all Real Property UJVs other than those owning hotels and trade show space, for the most recently ended calendar quarter, annualized (i.e., multiplied by four), and (b) in the case of Real Property UJVs owning hotels and trade show space, for the most recently ended four consecutive calendar quarters, in both cases, capitalized at the rate of 6.50%, less Borrower’s pro rata share of any Indebtedness attributable to such UJVs, and (y) the Net Equity Value of such Real Property UJVs; and (4) without duplication, Borrower's pro rata share of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, the book value of notes and mortgage loans receivable and capitalized development costs (exclusive of tenant improvements and tenant leasing commission costs), and the fair market value of publicly traded securities, at such time, all as determined in accordance with GAAP. For the purposes of this definition, (1) for any Disposition of Real Property Assets by a Real Property Business during any calendar quarter, Combined EBITDA will be reduced by actual Combined EBITDA generated from such asset or assets, (2) the aggregate contribution to Capitalization Value in excess of 30% of the total Capitalization Value from all Real Property Businesses and Other Investments owned by UJVs shall not be included in Capitalization Value, and (3) the aggregate contribution to Capitalization Value from leasing commissions and management and development fees in excess of 10% of Combined EBITDA shall not be included in Capitalization Value.
(b) The definition of "Capitalization Value of Unencumbered Assets" is hereby deleted and the following substituted therefor:
“Capitalization Value of Unencumbered Assets” means, at any time, the sum of (1) with respect to Real Property Businesses (other than UJVs), individually determined, the greater of (x) Unencumbered Combined EBITDA from such Real Property Businesses (a) in the case of all Real Property Businesses other than hotels and trade show space, for the most recently ended calendar quarter, annualized (i.e., multiplied by four), and (b) in the case of hotels and trade show space, the most recently ended four consecutive calendar quarters, in both cases, capitalized at a rate of 6.50% per annum, and (y) the Gross Book Value of such businesses; (2) with respect to Real Property UJVs, which do not have publicly traded shares, individually determined, the greater of (x) the Unencumbered Combined EBITDA from such Real Property UJVs (a) in the case of Real Property UJVs other than those owning hotels or trade show space, for the most recently ended calendar quarter, annualized (i.e., multiplied by four), and (b) in the case of Real Property UJVs owning hotels and trade show space, for the most recently ended four consecutive calendar quarters, in both cases, capitalized at a rate of 6.50% per annum, and (y) the Net Equity Value of such Real Property UJVs; and (3) without duplication, Borrower's pro rata share of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, the book value of notes and mortgage loans receivable and capitalized development costs (exclusive of tenant improvements and tenant leasing commission costs), and the fair market value of publicly traded securities that are Unencumbered Assets of Borrower, at such time, all as determined in accordance with GAAP. For the purposes of this definition, (1) for any Disposition of Real Property Assets by a Real
2
Property Business during any calendar quarter, Unencumbered Combined EBITDA will be reduced by actual Unencumbered Combined EBITDA generated from such asset or assets, (2) the aggregate contribution to Capitalization Value of Unencumbered Assets in excess of 30% of the total Capitalization Value of Unencumbered Assets from the aggregate of all Real Property Businesses owned by UJVs, and notes and mortgage loans receivable that are Unencumbered Assets at such time, as determined in accordance with GAAP, shall not be included in Capitalization Value of Unencumbered Assets, and (3) the aggregate contribution to Capitalization Value of Unencumbered Assets from leasing commissions and management and development fees in excess of 10% of Unencumbered Combined EBITDA shall not be included in Capitalization Value of Unencumbered Assets.

(d) The definition of "Consolidated Businesses" is hereby deleted and the following substituted therefor:
"Consolidated Businesses" means, at any time, the Borrower and Subsidiaries of the Borrower that the Borrower consolidates in its consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, provided, however, that UJVs which are consolidated in accordance with GAAP are not Consolidated Businesses.
