               (d)     Section 9.04 (a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following text at the end of such Section:
“; provided, further, that the Interim Facility Pledge shall not be considered to be payment guaranties as such term is used in the immediately preceding proviso.”
               (e)     Clause (b) of Section 9.07 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
“(b) any agreements governing any Secured Indebtedness permitted under Section 9.01 (h) and (k) shall be permitted to contain prohibitions or limitations of the type described in the preceding clause (x) (in which case, any such prohibition or limitation shall only be effective against the equipment, machinery or materials financed thereby, or in the case of such 9.01 (k), (A) the Property subject to such Liens and (B) if such Property is the equity interests in the Interim Borrower, the assets owned by the Interim Borrower and its Subsidiaries.”
               (f)     Section 9.10 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
“9.10 Consolidated Total Indebtedness as a Percentage of Consolidated Total Asset Value. Trizec will not permit its Consolidated Total Indebtedness on any date to exceed an amount which is 65% of the Consolidated Total Asset Value of Trizec as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of Trizec; provided that in determining such Consolidated Total Asset Value, such determination shall be made on a pro forma basis to give effect to any sales and acquisitions of Real Estate Assets effected after the last day of any such fiscal quarter and on or prior to the date of any determination pursuant to this Section 9.10 as if such sale or acquisition was consummated on the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter.”
               (g)     Section 9.12 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

-2-


 

“9.12 Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio. Trizec will not permit its Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio for any Test Period to be less than (x) 1.75:1.00 on any date on or prior to the original Maturity Date and (y) 2:00:1.00 on any date after the original Maturity Date.”
               (h)     Section 9.13 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
“9.13 Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. Trizec will not permit its Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for any Test Period to be less than (x) 1.40:1.00 on any date on or prior to the original Maturity Date and (y) 1.50:1.00 on any date after the original Maturity Date.”
               (i)     Section 9.15 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by substituting a comma for the word “and” immediately before clause (v) of such Section and adding the following text at the end of such Section:
“and (vi) restrictions of the type described in this Section 9.15 that are imposed by the credit documents governing the Interim Facility on (x) the Interim Borrower and its direct and indirect Subsidiaries and (y) Holdings (but in the case of Holdings, only insofar as such restrictions are limited to the Interim Borrower, its direct and indirect Subsidiaries, their respective assets, and the equity interests in the Interim Borrower pledged by Holdings pursuant to the Interim Facility Pledge).”
               (j)     Clause (v) of the definition of “Borrowing Base Property” in Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by substituting a comma for the word “or” immediately prior to clause (c) thereof and adding the following text at the end of such clause:

-3-


 

Secured Consolidated Total Indebtedness of its Subsidiaries for borrowed money (excluding payment guaranties of the Interim Facility).
               (l)     The definition of “Unsecured Indebtedness” in Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following proviso at the end of such definition:
“; provided, however, that solely for purposes of the last paragraph of Section 9.04, Unsecured Indebtedness shall not include the Interim Facility”.
               (m)     Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (i) deleting the definitions of “Consolidated Total Indebtedness Election Notice” and “Substantial Acquisition” in their entirety and (ii) inserting the following new definitions in appropriate alphabetical order:
               “‘Arden Replacement Property’ shall mean the Real Estate Asset commonly known as 9665 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills, California, or such other Real Estate Asset as may be designated from time to time by Trizec or the Borrower to complete the 1031 Exchange effected in connection with the sale of the First Citizens Property.

               “‘Interim Facility Pledge’ shall have the meaning provided in the definition of ‘Interim Facility’.”
               (n)     Exhibit L to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the text of footnote 3 of Annex II thereof and replacing such footnote with the following footnote:
“Less (i) the Indebtedness incurred under the Interim Facility, including, without limitation, any payment guaranties thereof and pledges providing security therefor and (ii) up to $100,000,000 of other Unsecured Indebtedness incurred at any time by Trizec (but not any other Credit Party) under payment guaranties by it of the Secured Consolidated Total Indebtedness of its Subsidiaries for borrowed money (excluding payment guaranties of the Interim Facility)”.
