PART I
 
Item 1.   Business
 
All references to numbered Notes are to specific footnotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of General Growth Properties, Inc. (“GGP” or the “Company”) as included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”). The descriptions included in such Notes are incorporated into the applicable Item response by reference. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with such Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes. The terms “we,” “us” and “our” may also be used to refer to General Growth and its subsidiaries. See also the Glossary at the end of Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, for definitions of selected terms used in this Annual Report.
 
Overview
 
GGP is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, referred to as a “REIT.” GGP is a Delaware corporation and was organized in 1986.
 
Our business is focused in two main areas:
 
•  Retail and Other — includes the operation, development and management of retail and other rental property, primarily shopping centers
 
•  Master Planned Communities — includes the development and sale of land, primarily in large-scale, long-term community development projects in and around Columbia, Maryland; Summerlin, Nevada; and Houston, Texas
 
We own one hundred percent of many of our properties and a majority or controlling interest of certain others. As a result, these properties are consolidated under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and we refer to them as the “Consolidated Properties.” Some properties are held through joint venture entities in which we own a non-controlling interest (“Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates”) and we refer to those properties as the “Unconsolidated Properties.” Collectively, we refer to the Consolidated Properties and Unconsolidated Properties as our “Company Portfolio.”
 
We generally make all key strategic decisions for our Consolidated Properties. However, in connection with the Unconsolidated Properties, such strategic decisions are made with the respective stockholders, members or joint venture partners. We are also the asset manager for most of the Company Portfolio, executing the strategic decisions and overseeing the day-to-day property management functions, including operations, leasing, construction management, maintenance, accounting, marketing and promotional services. With respect to jointly owned properties, we generally conduct the management activities through one of our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”). As of December 31, 2006, we managed the properties for 20 of our unconsolidated joint ventures and 13 of our consolidated joint ventures. Our joint venture partners or other third parties managed the properties for 14 of our unconsolidated joint ventures and one of our consolidated joint ventures.
 
General Development of Business
 
Prior to 2005, acquisitions had been a key contributor to our growth. In 2004, for example, acquisitions totaled over $16 billion, largely due to the $14 billion acquisition of The Rouse Company in November (the “TRC Merger”). In 2005 and 2006, however, acquisitions were minimal and our operational focus was on the following:
 
•  Development activities, including ground-up development and redevelopment and expansion of existing properties. In 2006, we substantially completed the ground-up development of Pinnacle Hills Promenade in Rogers, Arkansas; Otay Ranch Town Center in Chula Vista (San Diego), California; Lincolnshire Commons in Lincolnshire (Chicago), Illinois; and Shopping Leblon in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. During 2006, we completed 33 development projects totaling over $250 million. Unlike prior years when our developments consisted almost exclusively of traditional shopping malls, our current development activity includes alternative uses and densification. Certain of our current developments include residential, hotel and office space. Development expenditures, including ground-up developments, redevelopments and expansions, exceeded $600 million in 2006 and are expected to approximate $1 billion in 2007.

•  Continued maximization of our retail operations through proactive property management and leasing and through operating cost reductions. Specific actions to increase productivity of our properties have included changing the tenant mix and integrating new retail formats such as power, lifestyle and mixed use centers.
 
•  Increasing our international focus, which includes both attracting international retailers into our existing domestic centers and investing in retail properties overseas. As of December 31, 2006, we had investments in joint ventures in Brazil, Turkey and Costa Rica totaling approximately $128.0 million. Our joint ventures in Brazil have ownership interests in five operating retail centers, two third-party management companies, and two retail centers under development and our joint ventures in Turkey own a third party management company and one retail center under development.
 
•  As the TRC Merger was primarily funded with new acquisition debt, management and refinancing of our current debt.
 
Financial Information About Industry Segments
 
Information regarding our segments is incorporated herein by reference to Note 16.
 
Narrative Description of Business
 
Retail and Other Segment
 
Our Retail and Other segment consists of retail centers, office and industrial buildings and mixed-use and other properties.
 
Retail Portfolio
 
The Retail Portfolio is comprised primarily of regional shopping centers, but also includes festival market places, urban mixed-use centers and strip/community centers. Most of our shopping centers are strategically located in major and middle markets where they have strong competitive positions. Most of these properties contain at least one major department store as an Anchor. As of December 31, 2006, we had ownership interest in or management responsibility for a portfolio of over 200 regional shopping malls in 44 states. We also own non-controlling interests in various international joint ventures in Brazil, Turkey and Costa Rica. We believe the Retail Portfolio’s geographic diversification should mitigate the effects of regional economic conditions and local factors.
 
A detailed listing of the principal properties in our Retail Portfolio is included in Item 2 of this Annual Report.
 
The majority of the income from the properties in the Retail Portfolio is derived from rents received through long-term leases with retail tenants. These long-term leases generally require the tenants to pay base rent which is a fixed amount specified in the lease. The base rent is often subject to scheduled increases during the term of the lease. Another component of income is overage rent. Overage rent is paid by a tenant generally if its sales exceed an agreed upon minimum amount. Overage rent is calculated by multiplying the sales in excess of the minimum amount by a percentage defined in the lease, the majority of which is earned in the fourth quarter. Historically, our leases have included both a base rent component and a component which requires tenants to pay amounts related to all, or substantially all, of their share of real estate taxes and certain property operating expenses, including common area maintenance and insurance. The portion of these leases attributable to real estate tax and operating expense recoveries are recorded as “Tenant recoveries.” Recently, however, we have structured our new tenant leases such that a higher proportion of our rental revenues represent operating expense recoveries. This change has resulted in a shift between minimum rents and tenant recoveries.

Other Office, Industrial and Mixed-Use Buildings
 
Office and other properties are located primarily in the Baltimore/Washington, D.C. and Las Vegas markets or are components of large-scale mixed-use properties (which include retail, parking and other uses) located in other urban markets. Including properties adjacent to our retail centers, we own approximately 7 million square feet of leasable office and industrial space.
 
Master Planned Communities Segment
 
The Master Planned Communities segment is comprised primarily of the following large-scale, long-term community development projects:

(2) Remaining Saleable Acres includes only parcels that are intended for sale. Remaining saleable acres is likely to change over time as the master plan for a particular project is developed over time.
 
(3) We own 52.5% of Woodlands. Total gross acres and remaining saleable acres represent 100% of the project.
 
We develop and sell land in these communities to builders and other developers for residential, commercial and other uses. Additionally, certain saleable land within these properties may be transferred to our Retail and Other segment to be developed as commercial properties for either our own use or to be operated as investment rental property.
 
Other Business Information
 
Competition
 
The nature and extent of the competition we face varies from property to property within each segment of our business. In our Retail and Other segment, our direct competitors include other publicly-traded retail mall development and operating companies, retail real estate companies, commercial property developers and other owners of retail real estate that engage in similar businesses.
 
Within our Retail Portfolio, we compete for retail tenants. We believe the principal factors that retailers consider in making their leasing decision include:
 
•  Consumer demographics
 
•  Quality, design and location of properties
 
•  Total number and geographic distribution of properties
 
•  Diversity of retailers and anchor tenants at shopping center locations
 
•  Management and operational expertise
 
•  Rental rates
 
Based on these criteria, we believe that the size and scope of our property portfolio, as well as the overall quality and attractiveness of our individual properties, enable us to compete effectively for retail tenants in our local markets.

Table of Contents

Because our revenue potential is linked to the success of our retailers, we indirectly share exposure to the same competitive factors that our retail tenants experience in their respective markets when trying to attract individual shoppers. These dynamics include general competition from other regional shopping centers, including outlet malls and other discount shopping centers, as well as competition with discount shopping clubs, catalog companies, internet sales and telemarketing.
 
We also compete to acquire land for new site development and to acquire existing retail properties. We believe that we have a competitive advantage with respect to acquisitions for the following reasons:
 
•  Subject to certain limitations, the funds necessary for cash acquisitions are available to us from a combination of sources, including mortgage or unsecured financing or the issuance of public or private debt or equity.
 
•  We have the flexibility to pay for an acquisition with a combination of cash, GGP equity securities or common or preferred units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. This last approach may create the opportunity for a tax-advantaged transaction for the seller.
 
•  Our expertise allows us to evaluate proposed acquisitions of existing retail properties for their increased profit potential through expansion, remodeling, re-merchandising and more efficient management of the property.
 
With respect to our office and other properties, we experience competition in the development and management of our properties similar to that of our Retail Portfolio. Prospective tenants generally consider quality and appearance, amenities, location relative to other commercial activity and price in determining the attractiveness of our properties. Based on the quality and location of our properties, which are generally in urban markets or are concentrated in the commercial centers of our master planned communities, we believe that our properties are viewed favorably among prospective tenants.
 
In our Master Planned Communities segment, we compete with other landholders and residential and commercial property developers in the development of properties within the Baltimore/Washington, D.C., Las Vegas and Houston markets. Significant factors affecting our competition in this business include:
 
•  The size and scope of our master planned communities
 
•  The recreational and cultural amenities available within the communities
 
•  The commercial centers in the communities
 
•  Our relationships with homebuilders
 
•  The proximity to major metropolitan areas
 
We believe our projects offer significant advantages when viewed against these criteria.
 
Environmental Matters
 
Under various Federal, state and local laws and regulations, an owner of real estate is liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances on such real estate. These laws often impose such liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. The costs of remediation or removal of such substances may be substantial, and the presence of such substances, or the failure to promptly remediate such substances, may adversely affect the owner’s ability to sell such real estate or to borrow using such real estate as collateral. In connection with our ownership and operation of our properties, we, or the relevant joint venture through which the property is owned, may be potentially liable for such costs.
 
Substantially all of our properties have been subject to Phase I environmental assessments, which are intended to evaluate the environmental condition of the surveyed and surrounding properties. The Phase I environmental assessments included a historical review, a public records review, a preliminary investigation of the site and surrounding properties, screening for the presence of asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls (“PCBs”) and underground storage tanks and the preparation and issuance of a written report, but do not include soil sampling or subsurface investigations. A Phase II assessment, when necessary, was conducted to further investigate any issues raised by the Phase I assessment. In each case where Phase I and/or Phase II assessments resulted in specific


5


Table of Contents

recommendations for remedial actions required by law, management has either taken or scheduled the recommended action.
 
Neither the Phase I nor the Phase II assessments have revealed any environmental liability that we believe would have a material effect on our overall business, financial condition or results of operations. Nevertheless, it is possible that these assessments do not reveal all environmental liabilities or that there are material environmental liabilities of which we are unaware. Moreover, no assurances can be given that future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability or the current environmental condition of our properties will not be adversely affected by tenants and occupants of the properties, by the condition of properties in the vicinity of our properties (such as the presence on such properties of underground storage tanks) or by third parties unrelated to us.
 
Future development opportunities may require additional capital and other expenditures in order to comply with Federal, state and local statutes and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. We can not predict with any certainty the magnitude of any such expenditures or the long-range effect, if any, on our operations. Compliance with such laws has had no material adverse effect on our operating results or competitive position in the past.
 
Employees
 
As of February 23, 2007, we had approximately 4,700 employees.
 
Qualification as a Real Estate Investment Trust and Taxability of Distributions
 
GGP currently qualifies as a real estate investment trust pursuant to the requirements contained in Sections 856-858 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If, as we contemplate, such qualification continues, GGP will not be subject to Federal tax on its real estate investment trust taxable income. During 2006, GGP distributed (or was deemed to have distributed) 100% of its taxable income to its common stockholders (Note 7).

Item 1A.  Risk Factors
 
Risks Related to Real Estate Investments
 
We invest primarily in regional shopping centers and other retail properties, which are subject to a number of significant risks which are beyond our control
 
Real property investments are subject to varying degrees of risk that may affect the ability of our retail properties to generate sufficient revenues. A number of factors may decrease the income generated by a retail property, including:
 
•  The regional and local economy, which may be negatively impacted by plant closings, industry slowdowns, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters and other factors
 
•  Local real estate conditions, such as an oversupply of, or a reduction in demand for, retail space or retail goods, and the availability and creditworthiness of current and prospective tenants
 
•  Perceptions by retailers or shoppers of the safety, convenience and attractiveness of the retail property
 
•  The convenience and quality of competing retail properties and other retailing options such as the Internet


6


Table of Contents

 
•  Changes in laws and regulations applicable to real property, including tax and zoning laws
 
•  Changes in interest rate levels and the availability and cost of financing
 
If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue from our retail properties, including those held by joint ventures, we will be unable to meet operating and other expenses, including debt service, lease payments, capital expenditures and tenant improvements, and to make distributions from our joint ventures and then, in turn, to our stockholders.
 
We depend on leasing space to tenants on economically favorable terms and collecting rent from these tenants, who may not be able to pay
 
Our results of operations will depend on our ability to continue to lease space in our properties on economically favorable terms. If the sales of stores operating in our centers decline sufficiently, tenants might be unable to pay their existing minimum rents or expense recovery charges, since these rents and charges would represent a higher percentage of their sales. If our tenants’ sales decline, new tenants would be less likely to be willing to pay minimum rents as high as they would otherwise pay. In addition, as substantially all of our income is derived from rentals of real property, our income and cash available for distribution to our stockholders would be adversely affected if a significant number of tenants were unable to meet their obligations to us. During times of economic recession, these risks will increase.
 
Bankruptcy or store closures of tenants may decrease our revenues and available cash
 
Our leases generally do not contain provisions designed to ensure the creditworthiness of the tenant, and a number of companies in the retail industry, including some of our tenants, have declared bankruptcy or voluntarily closed certain of their stores in recent years. The bankruptcy or closure of a major tenant, particularly an Anchor tenant, may have a material adverse effect on the retail properties affected and the income produced by these properties and may make it substantially more difficult to lease the remainder of the affected retail properties. As a result, the bankruptcy or closure of a major tenant and potential additional closures as a result of co-tenancy requirements could result in a lower level of revenues and cash available for distribution to our stockholders.
 
We may be negatively impacted by department store consolidations
 
Department store consolidations, such as Federated’s acquisition of May Department Stores and the break up of Saks Holdings, Inc., are resulting in the closure of existing department stores and we may be unable to re-lease this area or to re-lease it on comparable or more favorable terms. Other tenants may be entitled to modify the terms of their existing leases, including those pertaining to rent payment, in the event of such closures. Additionally, department store closures could result in decreased customer traffic which could lead to decreased sales at other stores. We may pay more to acquire an Anchor store location in order to avoid these potential decreases as well as to avoid the transfer of certain approval rights typically associated with such locations. Consolidations may also negatively affect current and future development and redevelopment projects.
 
It may be difficult to buy and sell real estate quickly, and transfer restrictions apply to some of our properties
 
Equity real estate investments are relatively illiquid, and this characteristic tends to limit our ability to vary our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. In addition, significant expenditures associated with each equity investment, such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes and maintenance costs, are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the investment. If income from a property declines while the related expenses do not decline, our income and cash available for distribution to our stockholders would be adversely affected. A significant portion of our properties are mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness, and if we were unable to meet our mortgage payments, we could lose money as a result of foreclosure on the properties by the various mortgagees. In addition, if it becomes necessary or desirable for us to dispose of one or more of the mortgaged properties, we might not be able to obtain a release of the lien on the mortgaged property without payment of the associated debt. The foreclosure of a mortgage on a property or inability to sell a property could adversely affect the level of cash available for distribution to our stockholders. In certain transactions, if persons selling properties to us wish to defer the payment of taxes on the sales proceeds, we


7


Table of Contents

are likely to pay them in units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. In transactions of this kind, we may also agree, subject to certain exceptions, not to sell the acquired properties for significant periods of time.
 
Risks Related to our Business
 
We develop and expand properties, and this activity is subject to various risks
 
We intend to continue to pursue development and expansion activities as opportunities arise. In connection with any development or expansion, we will be subject to various risks, including the following:
 
•  We may abandon development or expansion activities already under way, which may result in additional cost recognition
 
•  Construction costs of a project may exceed original estimates or available financing, possibly making the project unfeasible or unprofitable
 
•  We may not be able to obtain financing or to refinance construction loans, which generally have full recourse to us
 
•  We may not be able to obtain zoning, occupancy or other required governmental permits and authorizations
 
•  Occupancy rates and rents at a completed project may not meet projections and, therefore, the project may not be profitable
 
•  We may not be able to obtain Anchor, mortgage lender and property partner approvals, if applicable, for expansion or redevelopment activities
 
If a development project is unsuccessful, our loss could exceed our investment in the project.
 
We may incur costs to comply with environmental laws
 
Under various federal, state or local laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances released at a property, and may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage or personal injuries and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred by the parties in connection with the contamination. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release of the hazardous or toxic substances. The presence of contamination or the failure to remediate contamination may adversely affect the owner’s ability to sell or lease real estate or to borrow using the real estate as collateral. Other federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations require abatement or removal of asbestos-containing materials in the event of demolition or certain renovations or remodeling, the cost of which may be substantial for some of our redevelopments and also govern emissions of and exposure to asbestos fibers in the air. Federal and state laws also regulate the operation and removal of underground storage tanks. In connection with the ownership, operation and management of our properties, we could be held liable for the costs of remedial action with respect to these regulated substances or tanks or related claims.
 
Our properties have been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times. However, the identification of new areas of contamination, a change in the extent or known scope of contamination or changes in cleanup requirements could result in significant costs to us.
 
We are in a competitive business
 
There are numerous shopping facilities that compete with our properties in attracting retailers to lease space. In addition, retailers at our properties face continued competition from other regional shopping centers, including outlet malls and other discount shopping centers, discount shopping clubs, catalog companies, internet sales and telemarketing. Competition of this type could adversely affect our revenues and cash available for distribution to our stockholders.
 
We compete with other major real estate investors with significant capital for attractive investment opportunities. These competitors include other REITs, investment banking firms and private institutional investors. This


8


Table of Contents

competition has increased prices for commercial properties and may impair our ability to make suitable property acquisitions on favorable terms in the future.
 
We may not be able to obtain capital to make investments
 
We depend primarily on external financing to fund the growth of our business. This is because one of the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the “Code,” for a REIT generally is that it distribute or pay tax on 100% of its capital gains and distribute at least 90% of its ordinary taxable income to its stockholders. Our access to debt or equity financing depends on banks’ willingness to lend to us and on conditions in the capital markets in general. We and other companies in the real estate industry have experienced less favorable terms for bank loans and capital markets financing from time to time. Although we believe, based on current market conditions, that we will be able to finance investments we wish to make in the foreseeable future, financing might not be available on acceptable terms or may be affected by the amount of debt we have outstanding as a result of the TRC Merger.
 
Some of our properties are subject to potential natural or other disasters
 
A number of our properties are located in areas which are subject to natural disasters. For example, two of our properties, located in the New Orleans area, suffered major damage in 2005. It is uncertain as to whether the New Orleans area will recover to its prior economic strength.
 
We carry comprehensive liability, fire, flood, earthquake, terrorism, extended coverage and rental loss insurance on all of our properties. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits of these policies are adequate and appropriate. There are, however, some types of losses, including lease and other contract claims, which generally are not insured. If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occurs, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the property. If this happens, we might nevertheless remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property.
 
If the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act is not extended beyond 2007, we may incur higher insurance costs and greater difficulty in obtaining insurance which covers terrorist-related damages. Our tenants may also experience similar difficulties.
 
Inflation may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations
 
Should inflation increase in the future, we may experience any or all of the following:
 
•  Decreasing tenant sales as a result of decreased consumer spending which could result in lower overage rents
 
•  Difficulty in replacing or renewing expiring leases with new leases at higher base and/or overage rents
 
•  An inability to receive reimbursement from our tenants for their share of certain operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance
 
Inflation also poses a potential threat to us due to the probability of future increases in interest rates. Such increases would adversely impact us due to our outstanding variable-rate debt as well as result in higher interest rates on new fixed-rate debt.
 
We have certain ownership interests outside the United States which may increase in relative significance over time
 
We hold interests in joint venture properties in Brazil, Turkey and Costa Rica. We expect to pursue additional expansion opportunities outside the United States. International development and ownership activities carry risks that are different from those we face with our domestic properties and operations. These risks include:
 
•  Difficulties in managing international operations
 
•  Changes in foreign political environments, regionally, nationally, and locally


9


Table of Contents

 
•  Challenges of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws including corporate governance, operations, taxes and litigation
 
•  Differing lending practices
 
•  Differences in cultures
 
•  Adverse effects of changes in exchange rates for foreign currencies
 
•  Changes in applicable laws and regulations in the United States that affect foreign operations
 
•  Obstacles to the repatriation of earnings and cash
 
Although our international activities currently are a relatively small portion of our business (international properties represented less than 1% of the NOI of all of our properties in 2006), to the extent that we expand our international activities, these risks could increase in significance and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
 
Risks Related to our Organizational and Financial Structure that Give Rise to Operational and Financial Risks
 
Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health and operating flexibility
 
We have a substantial amount of indebtedness. As of December 31, 2006, we had an aggregate consolidated indebtedness outstanding of approximately $20.5 billion (Note 6). Approximately $5.5 billion of our aggregate indebtedness was unsecured, recourse indebtedness of the Operating Partnership and consolidated subsidiaries, while approximately $15.0 billion was secured by our properties. A majority of the secured indebtedness was non-recourse to us. This indebtedness does not include our proportionate share of indebtedness incurred by our Unconsolidated Properties. As a result of this substantial indebtedness, we are required to use a material portion of our cash flow to service principal and interest on our debt, which will limit the cash flow available for other desirable business opportunities.
 
Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences to us and the value of our common stock, including:
 
•  Limiting our ability to borrow additional amounts for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, execution of our growth strategy or other purposes
 
•  Limiting our ability to use operating cash flow in other areas of our business because we must dedicate a substantial portion of these funds to service the debt
 
•  Increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions, including increases in interest rates, particularly given our substantial indebtedness which bears interest at variable rates
 
•  Limiting our ability to capitalize on business opportunities, including the acquisition of additional properties, and to react to competitive pressures and adverse changes in government regulation
 
•  Limiting our ability or increasing the costs to refinance indebtedness
 
•  Limiting our ability to enter into marketing and hedging transactions by reducing the number of counterparties with whom we can enter into such transactions as well as the volume of those transactions
 
The terms of the 2006 Credit Facility, and certain other debt, require us to satisfy certain customary affirmative and negative covenants and to meet financial ratios and tests including ratios and tests based on leverage, interest coverage and net worth. The covenants under our debt affect, among other things, our ability to:
 
•  Incur indebtedness
 
•  Create liens on assets
 
•  Sell assets
 
•  Make capital expenditures


10


Table of Contents

 
•  Engage in mergers and acquisitions
 
Given the restrictions in our debt covenants on these and other activities, we may be restricted in our ability to pursue other acquisitions, may be significantly limited in our operating and financial flexibility and may be limited in our ability to respond to changes in our business or competitive activities.
 
A failure to comply with these covenants, including a failure to meet the financial tests or ratios, would likely result in an event of default under our debt and would allow the lenders to accelerate such debt under such facility. If our debt is accelerated, our assets may not be sufficient to repay such debt in full.
 
We share control of some of our properties with other investors and may have conflicts of interest with those investors
 
While we generally make all operating decisions for the Unconsolidated Properties, we are required to make other decisions with the other investors who have interests in the relevant property or properties. For example, the approval of certain of the other investors is required with respect to operating budgets and refinancing, encumbering, expanding or selling any of these properties. We might not have the same interests as the other investors in relation to these transactions. Accordingly, we might not be able to favorably resolve any of these issues, or we might have to provide financial or other inducement to the other investors to obtain a favorable resolution.
 
In addition, various restrictive provisions and rights apply to sales or transfers of interests in our jointly owned properties. These may work to our disadvantage because, among other things, we might be required to make decisions about buying or selling interests in a property or properties at a time that is disadvantageous to us or we might be required to purchase the interests of our partners in our jointly owned properties.
 
Bankruptcy of joint venture partners could impose delays and costs on us with respect to the jointly owned retail properties
 
The bankruptcy of one of the other investors in any of our jointly owned shopping centers could materially and adversely affect the relevant property or properties. Under the bankruptcy laws, we would be precluded by the automatic stay from taking some actions affecting the estate of the other investor without prior approval of the bankruptcy court, which would, in most cases, entail prior notice to other parties and a hearing in the bankruptcy court. At a minimum, the requirement to obtain court approval may delay the actions we would or might want to take. If the relevant joint venture through which we have invested in a property has incurred recourse obligations, the discharge in bankruptcy of one of the other investors might result in our ultimate liability for a greater portion of those obligations than we would otherwise bear.
 
Payments by our direct and indirect subsidiaries of dividends and distributions to us may be adversely affected by prior payments to these subsidiaries’ creditors and preferred security holders
 
Substantially all of our assets are owned through our general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, including TRCLP. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of its properties and assets through subsidiaries, including subsidiary partnerships, limited liability companies and corporations that have elected to be taxed as REITs. The Operating Partnership therefore derives substantially all of its cash flow from cash distributions to it by its subsidiaries, and we, in turn, derive substantially all of our cash flow from cash distributions to us by the Operating Partnership. The creditors and preferred security holders, if any, of each of our direct and indirect subsidiaries are entitled to payment of that subsidiary’s obligations to them, when due and payable, before that subsidiary may make distributions to us. Thus, the Operating Partnership’s ability to make distributions to its partners, including us, depends on its subsidiaries’ ability first to satisfy obligations to their creditors and preferred security holders, if any, and then to make distributions to the Operating Partnership. Similarly, our ability to pay dividends to holders of our common stock depends on the Operating Partnership’s ability first to satisfy its obligations to its creditors and preferred security holders and then to make distributions to us.
 
In addition, we will have the right to participate in any distribution of the assets of any of our direct or indirect subsidiaries upon the liquidation, reorganization or insolvency of the subsidiary only after the claims of the creditors, including trade creditors, and preferred security holders, if any, of the subsidiary are satisfied. Our


11


Table of Contents

common stockholders, in turn, will have the right to participate in any distribution of our assets upon the liquidation, reorganization or insolvency of us only after the claims of our creditors, including trade creditors, and preferred security holders, if any, are satisfied.
 
We might fail to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT
 
Although we believe that we will remain structured and will continue to operate so as to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we might not continue to be so qualified. Qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Code for which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations. Therefore, the determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control may impact our ability to qualify as a REIT. In addition, legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions might significantly change the tax laws with respect to the requirements for qualification as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of qualification as a REIT.
 
If, with respect to any taxable year, we fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we would not be allowed to deduct distributions to stockholders in computing our taxable income and federal income tax. The corporate level income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, would apply to our taxable income at regular corporate rates. As a result, the amount available for distribution to stockholders would be reduced for the year or years involved, and we would no longer be required to make distributions. In addition, unless we were entitled to relief under the relevant statutory provisions, we would be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Notwithstanding that we currently intend to operate in a manner designed to allow us to qualify as a REIT, future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause us to determine that it is in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders to revoke the REIT election.
 
An ownership limit and certain anti-takeover defenses and applicable law may hinder any attempt to acquire us
 
The Ownership Limit.  Generally, for us to maintain our qualification as a REIT under the Code, not more than 50% in value of the outstanding shares of our capital stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of our taxable year. The Code defines “individuals” for purposes of the requirement described in the preceding sentence to include some types of entities. In general, under our current certificate of incorporation, no person other than Martin Bucksbaum (deceased), Matthew Bucksbaum (the Chairman of our board of directors), their families and related trusts and entities, including M.B. Capital Partners III, may own more than 7.5% of the value of our outstanding capital stock. However, our certificate of incorporation also permits our company to exempt a person from the 7.5% ownership limit upon the satisfaction of certain conditions which are described in our certificate of incorporation.
 
Selected Provisions of our Charter Documents.  Our board of directors is divided into three classes of directors. Directors of each class are chosen for three-year staggered terms. Staggered terms of directors may reduce the possibility of a tender offer or an attempt to change control of our company, even though a tender offer or change in control might be in the best interest of our stockholders. Our charter authorizes the board of directors:
 
•  To cause us to issue additional authorized but unissued shares of common stock or preferred stock
 
•  To classify or reclassify, in one or more series, any unissued preferred stock
 
•  To set the preferences, rights and other terms of any classified or reclassified stock that we issue
 
Stockholder Rights Plan.  We have a stockholder rights plan which will impact a potential acquirer unless the acquirer negotiates with our board of directors and the board of directors approves the transaction.
 
Selected Provisions of Delaware Law.  We are a Delaware corporation, and Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law applies to us. In general, Section 203 prevents an “interested stockholder,” as defined in the next


12


Table of Contents

sentence, from engaging in a “business combination,” as defined in the statute, with us for three years following the date that person becomes an interested stockholder unless one or more of the following occurs:
 
•  Before that person became an interested stockholder, our board of directors approved the transaction in which the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder or approved the business combination
 
•  Upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the interested stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) stock held by directors who are also officers of the company and by employee stock plans that do not provide employees with the right to determine confidentially whether shares held under the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer
 
•  Following the transaction in which that person became an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by our board of directors and authorized at a meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of our outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder
 
The statute defines “interested stockholder” to mean generally any person that is the owner of 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock or is an affiliate or associate of us and was the owner of 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock at any time within the three-year period immediately before the date of determination.
 
Each item discussed above may delay, deter or prevent a change in control of our company, even if a proposed transaction is at a premium over the then current market price for our common stock. Further, these provisions may apply in instances where some stockholders consider a transaction beneficial to them. As a result, our stock price may be negatively affected by these provisions.
 
We are impacted by tax-related obligations to some of our partners
 
We own properties through partnerships which have arrangements in place that protect the deferred tax situation of our existing third party limited partners. Violation of these arrangements could impose costs on us. As a result, we may be restricted with respect to decisions such as financing, encumbering, expanding or selling these properties.
 
Several of our joint venture partners are tax-exempt. As such, they are taxable to the extent of their share of unrelated business taxable income generated from these properties. As the managing partner in these joint ventures, we have obligations to avoid the creation of unrelated business taxable income at these properties. As a result, we may be restricted with respect to decisions such as financing and revenue generation with respect to these properties.
 
Risks Related to the TRC Merger
 
We may not realize the full anticipated benefits of the TRC Merger
 
Achieving the anticipated benefits of the TRC Merger will depend in part upon our ability to integrate the two companies’ businesses in an efficient and effective manner. We may continue to face difficulties integrating aspects of the combined company’s businesses that we have not historically focused on, such as the master planned community business. Any inability of management to integrate the operations of TRCLP successfully could cause us to not fully achieve the expected benefits of the TRC Merger.
 
Limitations on the sale of the TRCLP assets may affect our cash flow
 
We may be restricted in our ability to dispose of certain TRCLP assets until the ten-year period after TRC’s election of REIT status expires in 2008 due to the potential incurrence of substantial tax liabilities on such dispositions due to applicable REIT regulations.
 
We have significant obligations under a Contingent Stock Agreement we assumed in the TRC Merger
 
We have assumed the obligations of TRC under a Contingent Stock Agreement, which we refer to as the “CSA.” The assumption includes the obligation under the CSA to issue shares of common stock twice a year to the


13


Table of Contents

beneficiaries under the CSA and certain indemnification obligations. The number of shares is based upon our stock price and upon a formula set forth in the CSA. In addition, the CSA requires a valuation of certain assets that we own as of December 31, 2009, which is expected to result in the issuance of a significant number of additional shares to the beneficiaries under the CSA. Such issuances would be dilutive to our existing stockholders if we are unable to repurchase a corresponding number of shares through our publicly announced stock repurchase program.
 
Risks Related to our Common Stock
 
Our common stock price may be volatile, and consequently investors may not be able to resell their common stock at or above their purchase price
 
The price at which our common stock will trade may be volatile and may fluctuate due to factors such as:
 
•  Our historical and anticipated quarterly and annual operating results
 
•  Variations between our actual results and analyst and investor expectations or changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts
 
•  The performance and prospects of our industry
 
•  The depth and liquidity of the market for our common stock
 
•  Investor perception of us and the industry in which we operate
 
•  Domestic and international economic conditions
 
•  The extent of institutional investor interest in us
 
•  The reputation of REITs generally and the attractiveness of their equity securities in comparison to other equity securities, including securities issued by other real estate companies, and fixed income securities
 
•  Our financial condition and performance
 
•  General market conditions and trends
 
Fluctuations may be unrelated to or disproportionate to our financial performance. These fluctuations may result in a material decline in the trading price of our common stock.
 
Future sales of our common stock may depress our stock price
 
As of December 31, 2006, approximately 58.3 million shares of common stock were issuable upon exercise of conversion and/or redemption rights as to units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. Under our shelf registration statement, we may offer from time to time up to approximately $1.5 billion worth of common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, debt securities, warrants, stock purchase contracts and/or purchase units. An additional 14.5 million shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance to meet our obligations under the CSA we assumed in connection with the TRC Merger. In addition, we have reserved a number of shares of common stock for issuance under our option and other benefit plans for employees and directors and in connection with certain other obligations, and these shares will be available for sale from time to time. Although we have publicly announced a stock repurchase program which may offset the dilution resulting from issuances pursuant to the CSA and one of our employee option plans, there is no certainty that we will be successful in acquiring a sufficient number of shares at an acceptable price to accomplish this goal. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that these and other future sales of our common stock, or the availability of common stock for future sales, will have on the market price of the stock. Sales in the public market of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.
 
Increases in market interest rates may hurt the market price of our common stock
 
We believe that investors consider the distribution rate on REIT stocks, expressed as a percentage of the price of the stocks, relative to market interest rates as an important factor in deciding whether to buy or sell the stocks. If market interest rates go up, prospective purchasers of REIT stocks may expect a higher distribution rate. Higher interest


14


Table of Contents

rates would not, however, result in more funds being available for us to distribute and, in fact, would likely increase our borrowing costs and might decrease our funds available for distribution. Thus, higher market interest rates could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
 
Forward-Looking Information
 
We may make forward-looking statements in this Annual Report and in other reports which we file with the SEC. In addition, our senior management might make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, the media and others.
 
Forward-looking statements include:
 
•  Projections of our revenues, income, earnings per share, Funds From Operations, capital expenditures, dividends, capital structure or other financial items
 
•  Descriptions of plans or objectives of our management for future operations, including pending acquisitions
 
•  Forecasts of our future economic performance
 
•  Descriptions of assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing
 
In this Annual Report, for example, we make forward-looking statements discussing our expectations about:
 
•  Future repayment of debt and interest rates
 
•  Distributions pursuant to the Contingent Stock Agreement
 
•  Expected sales and development and acquisition expenditures in our Master Planned Communities segment
 
•  Expected restructurings of certain of our operating properties that are currently owned by TRS entities
 
•  Future cash needed to meet federal income tax requirements
 
Forward-looking statements discuss matters that are not historical facts. Because they discuss future events or conditions, forward-looking statements often include words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “target,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements should not be unduly relied upon. They give our expectations about the future and are not guarantees. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and we might not update them to reflect changes that occur after the date they are made.
 
There are several factors, many beyond our control, which could cause results to differ significantly from our expectations. Factors such as credit, market, operational, liquidity, interest rate and other risks are described elsewhere in this Annual Report. Any factor described in this Annual Report could by itself, or together with one or more other factors, adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. There are also other factors that we have not described in this Annual Report that could cause results to differ from our expectations.
 
Item 1B.   Unresolved Staff Comments
 
None.
 
Item 2.   Properties
 
Our investment in real estate as of December 31, 2006 consisted of our interests in the properties in our Retail and Other and Master Planned Communities segments. We, generally, own the land underlying the properties in our Retail and Other segment. However, at certain of the properties, all or part of the underlying land is owned by a third party that leases the land to us pursuant to a long-term ground lease. The leases generally contain various purchase options and typically provide us with a right of first refusal in the event of a proposed sale of the property by the landlord. Information regarding encumbrances on these properties is included in Schedule III of this Annual Report.
 
The following tables set forth certain information regarding the Consolidated Properties and the Unconsolidated Properties in our Retail Portfolio as of December 31, 2006. These tables do not reflect subsequent activity in 2007

Anchors
 
Anchors have traditionally been a major component of a regional shopping center. Anchors are frequently department stores whose merchandise appeals to a broad range of shoppers. Anchors generally either own their stores, the land under them and adjacent parking areas, or enter into long-term leases at rates that are generally lower than the rents charged to Mall Store tenants. We also typically enter into long-term reciprocal agreements with Anchors that provide for, among other things, mall and Anchor operating covenants and Anchor expense participation. The centers in the Retail Portfolio receive a smaller percentage of their operating income from Anchors than from Mall Stores. While the market share of many traditional department store Anchors has been declining, strong Anchors continue to play an important role in maintaining customer traffic and making the centers in the Retail Portfolio desirable locations for Mall Store tenants.
 
The following table indicates the parent company of certain Anchors and sets forth the number of stores and square feet owned or leased by each Anchor in the Retail Portfolio as of December 31, 2006.

(1) Funds From Operations (“FFO” as defined below) does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).
 
Funds From Operations
 
Consistent with real estate industry and investment community practices, we use Funds From Operations (“FFO”) as a supplemental measure of our operating performance. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from cumulative effects of accounting changes, extraordinary items and sales of operating rental properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
 
We consider FFO a useful supplemental measure for equity REITs and a complement to GAAP measures because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of our properties. FFO does not include real estate depreciation and amortization required by GAAP since these amounts are computed to allocate the cost of a property over its useful life. Since values for well-maintained real estate assets have historically increased or decreased based upon prevailing market conditions, we believe that FFO provides investors with a clearer view of our operating performance.
 
In order to provide a better understanding of the relationship between FFO and net income available to common stockholders, a reconciliation of FFO to net income available to common stockholders has been provided. FFO does

Item 7.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
All references to numbered Notes are to specific footnotes to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report and which descriptions are incorporated into the applicable response by reference. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with such Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes. Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) have the same meanings as in such Notes. See also the Glossary at the end of this Item 7 for definitions of selected terms used in this Annual Report.
 
Overview — Retail and Other Segment
 
Our primary business is acquiring, owning, managing, leasing and developing retail rental property, primarily shopping centers. The majority of our properties are located in the United States, but we also have retail operations and property management activities, through unconsolidated joint ventures, in Brazil and Turkey.
 
We provide on-site management and other services to substantially all of our properties, including properties which we own through joint venture arrangements and which are unconsolidated for GAAP purposes. Our management operating philosophies and strategies are generally the same whether the properties are consolidated or unconsolidated. As a result, we believe that financial information and operating statistics with respect to all properties, both consolidated and unconsolidated, provide important insights into our operating results. Collectively, we refer to our Consolidated and Unconsolidated Properties as our “Company Portfolio” and the retail portion of the Company Portfolio as the “Retail Company Portfolio.”
 
We seek to increase cash flow and real estate net operating income of our retail and office rental properties through proactive property management and leasing (including tenant remerchandising), operating cost reductions, physical expansions, redevelopments and capital reinvestment. Some of the actions that we take to increase productivity include changing the tenant mix, adding vendor carts or kiosks and full expansions or renovations of centers.

We believe that the most significant operating factor affecting incremental cash flow and real estate net operating income is increased rents earned from tenants at our properties. These rental revenue increases are primarily achieved by:
 
•  Renewing expiring leases and re-leasing existing space at rates higher than expiring or existing rates
 
•  Increasing occupancy at the properties so that more space is generating rent
 
•  Increased tenant sales in which we participate through overage rents

The expansion and renovation of a property may also result in increased cash flows and operating income as a result of increased customer traffic, trade area penetration and improved competitive position of the property. As of December 31, 2006, we had 17 major approved redevelopment projects underway (each with budgeted projected expenditures, at our ownership share, in excess of $10 million).
 
We also develop retail centers from the ground-up.  On October 4, 2006, we opened Pinnacle Hills Promenade in Rogers, Arkansas. This 980,000 square foot open-air center is anchored by Dillard’s, JCPenney and a 12-screen theatre and includes retail, dining, entertainment, recreation and office space. Additionally, we opened Otay Ranch Town Center in Chula Vista (San Diego), California on October 27, 2006. This open-air center includes approximately 850,000 square feet of retail, dining and entertainment space. Anchors include AMC Theatres, Barnes & Noble, Macy’s and REI. Portions of Lincolnshire Commons in Lincolnshire (Chicago), Illinois opened throughout 2006 and Shopping Leblon in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil opened in November 2006. In September 2005, we opened the Shops at La Cantera in San Antonio, Texas. Nine additional domestic retail center development projects are currently under construction, and are expected to open in 2007 and 2008:
 
Consolidated Properties:
 
•  Gateway Overlook in Columbia, Maryland
 
•  Parke West in Peoria, Arizona
 
•  The Shops at Fallen Timbers, Maumee (Toledo), Ohio

•  Espark in Eskisehir, Turkey
 
•  Natick West in Natick, Massachusetts
 
•  RiverCrossing in Macon, Georgia
 
•  Santana Parque Shopping in Santana (Sao Paulo), Brazil
 
Total projected expenditures (including our share of the Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates) for these redevelopment and development projects were approximately $1.4 billion as of December 31, 2006.
 
We also have eight other potential new retail or mixed-use developments, including Phase II of the Shops at La Cantera which was opened in September 2005, that are currently projected to open in 2008 through 2010. In addition, we have agreed to acquire the new retail development at The Palazzo in Las Vegas, Nevada, upon opening. This is currently expected in early 2008, at an estimated acquisition cost of approximately $600 million.
 
Prior to 2005, acquisitions were also a significant factor affecting our cash flows and real estate net operating income. Acquisitions have included single centers, privately held portfolios and public-to-public purchases such as the $14 billion TRC Merger in November 2004. Acquisitions in 2006 and 2005, however, were not as significant and consisted primarily of additional interests in existing joint ventures and investments in new joint ventures.
 
Overview — Master Planned Communities Segment
 
Our Master Planned Communities business is the development and sale of residential and commercial land, primarily in large-scale projects in and around Columbia, Maryland; Houston, Texas; and Summerlin, Nevada. Residential sales include standard, custom and high density (i.e. condominium, town homes and apartments) parcels. Standard residential lots are designated for detached and attached single- and multi-family homes, ranging from entry-level to luxury homes. At our Summerlin project, we have further designated certain residential parcels as custom lots as their premium price reflects their larger size and other distinguishing features including gated communities, golf course access and higher elevations. Commercial sales include parcels designated for retail, office, services and other for-profit activities, as well as those parcels designated for use by government, schools and other not-for-profit entities.
 
Revenues are derived primarily from the sale of finished lots, including infrastructure and amenities, and undeveloped property to both residential and commercial developers. Additional revenues are earned through participations with builders in their sales of finished homes to homebuyers. Revenues and net operating income are affected by such factors as the availability to purchasers of construction and permanent mortgage financing at acceptable interest rates, consumer and business confidences, regional economic conditions in the areas surrounding the projects, levels of homebuilder inventory, other factors affecting the homebuilder business, availability of saleable land for particular uses and our decisions to sell, develop or retain land.
 
Our primary strategy in this segment is to develop and sell land in a manner that increases the value of the remaining land to be developed and sold and to provide current cash flows. Our Master Planned Communities projects are owned by taxable REIT subsidiaries and, as a result, are subject to income taxes. Cash requirements to meet federal income tax requirements will increase in future years as we exhaust certain net loss carry forwards and as certain master planned community developments are completed for tax purposes and, as a result, previously deferred taxes must be paid. Such cash requirements could be significant. Additionally, revenues from the sale of land at Summerlin are subject to the Contingent Stock Agreement as more fully described in Note 14.
 
As the new housing market softened throughout 2006, demand at our Summerlin, Columbia and Fairwood projects declined and a number of anticipated sales were cancelled by the builders. Unlike other markets in which builders have a significantly higher supply of unsold homes, demand at Woodlands and Bridgeland, which began sales in the first quarter of 2006, did not decline in 2006. We currently expect these trends to continue through 2007.

Overview — Other
 
We believe changes in interest rates are the most significant external factor affecting our cash flows and net income. As detailed in our discussion of economic conditions and market risk (Item 7A), interest rates have risen during 2006 and could continue to rise in future periods. These increases have had, and may continue to have, an adverse impact on our cash flow and net income.
 
During 2006, we obtained approximately $9.4 billion of consolidated debt through new financings and refinancings. Our share of debt issued by our Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates totaled approximately $1.3 million during the same period. Proceeds from the issuances were used, in part, to repay $3.0 billion of variable-rate debt.
 
Seasonality
 
Although we have a year-long temporary leasing program, occupancies for short-term tenants and, therefore, rental income recognized, are higher during the second half of the year. In addition, the majority of our tenants have December or January lease years for purposes of calculating annual overage rent amounts. Accordingly, overage rent thresholds and the related revenue recognition are most commonly achieved in the fourth quarter.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. For example, significant estimates and assumptions have been made with respect to useful lives of assets, capitalization of development and leasing costs, provision for income taxes, recoverable amounts of receivables, deferred taxes, initial valuations and related amortization periods of deferred costs and intangibles, particularly with respect to property acquisitions, and cost ratios and completion percentages used for land sales. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Critical accounting policies are those that are both significant to the overall presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments. Our critical accounting policies are those applicable to the following:
 
Initial valuations and estimated useful lives or amortization periods for property and intangibles.  When we acquire a property, we make an initial assessment of the initial valuation and composition of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These assessments consider fair values of the respective assets and liabilities and are primarily determined based on estimated future cash flows using appropriate discount and capitalization rates, but may also be based on independent appraisals or other market data. The estimated future cash flows that are used for this analysis reflect the historical operations of the property, known trends and changes expected in current market and economic conditions which would impact the property’s operations, and our plans for such property. These estimates are particularly important as they are used for the allocation of purchase price between depreciable and non-depreciable real estate and other identifiable intangibles including above, below and at-market leases. Significant differences in annual depreciation or amortization expense may result from the differing amortization periods related to such purchased assets and liabilities. As a result, the impact of these estimates on our operations could be substantial.
 
Events or changes in circumstances concerning a property may occur which could indicate that the carrying values or amortization periods of the assets and liabilities may require adjustment. The resulting recovery analysis also depends on an analysis of future cash flows to be generated from a property’s assets and liabilities. Changes in our overall plans (for example, the extent and nature of a proposed redevelopment of a property) and our views on current market and economic conditions may have a significant impact on the resulting estimated future cash flows of a property that are analyzed for these purposes.

Table of Contents

 
Recoverable amounts of receivables and deferred taxes.  We make periodic assessments of the collectibility of receivables (including those resulting from the difference between rental revenue recognized and rents currently due from tenants) and the recoverability of deferred taxes based on a specific review of the risk of loss on specific accounts or amounts. The receivable analysis places particular emphasis on past-due accounts and considers the nature and age of the receivables, the payment history and financial condition of the payee, the basis for any disputes or negotiations with the payee and other information which may impact collectibility. For straight-line rents, the analysis considers the probability of collection of the unbilled deferred rent receivable given our experience regarding such amounts. For deferred taxes, an assessment of the recoverability of the tax asset considers the current expiration periods of the prior net operating loss carryforwards and the estimated future taxable income of our taxable REIT subsidiaries. The resulting estimates of any allowance or reserve related to the recovery of these items is subject to revision as these factors change and is sensitive to the effects of economic and market conditions on such payees and our taxable REIT subsidiaries.
 
Capitalization of development and leasing costs.  We capitalize the costs of development and leasing activities of our properties. These costs are incurred both at the property location and at the regional and corporate office levels. The amount of capitalization depends, in part, on the identification and justifiable allocation of certain activities to specific projects and leases. Differences in methodologies of cost identification and documentation, as well as differing assumptions as to the time incurred on projects, can yield significant differences in the amounts capitalized and, as a result, the amount of depreciation recognized.
 
Revenue recognition and related matters.  Minimum rent revenues are recognized on a straight-lined basis over the terms of the related leases. Minimum rent revenues also include amounts collected from tenants to allow the termination of their leases prior to their scheduled termination dates and accretion related to above and below-market tenant leases on acquired properties. Straight-line rents receivable represents the current net cumulative rents recognized prior to when billed and collectible as provided by the terms of the leases. Overage rents are recognized on an accrual basis once tenant sales exceed contractual tenant lease thresholds. Recoveries from tenants are established in the leases or computed based upon a formula related to real estate taxes, insurance and other shopping center operating expenses and are generally recognized as revenues in the period the related costs are incurred.
 
Revenues from land sales are recognized using the full accrual method provided that various criteria relating to the terms of the transactions and our subsequent involvement with the land sold are met. Revenues relating to transactions that do not meet the established criteria are deferred and recognized when the criteria are met or using the installment or cost recovery methods, as appropriate in the circumstances. For land sale transactions in which we are required to perform additional services and incur significant costs after title has passed, revenues and cost of sales are recognized on a percentage of completion basis.
 
Cost ratios for land sales are determined as a specified percentage of land sales revenues recognized for each master planned community project. The cost ratios used are based on actual costs incurred and estimates of development costs and sales revenues for completion of each project. The ratios are reviewed regularly and revised for changes in sales and cost estimates or development plans. Significant changes in these estimates or development plans, whether due to changes in market conditions or other factors, could result in changes to the cost ratio used for a specific project. The increase in the basis of the land due to purchase price accounting adjustments has resulted in a significant increase in the cost ratios of our projects. The specific identification method is used to determine cost of sales for certain parcels of land, including acquired parcels we do not intend to develop or for which development is complete at the date of acquisition.
 
Results of Operations
 
Our revenues are primarily received from tenants in the form of fixed minimum rents, overage rents and recoveries of operating expenses. We have presented the following discussion of our results of operations on a segment basis under the proportionate share method.

The increase in minimum rents is primarily attributable to the following:
 
•  Higher minimum rents, especially at The Shops at La Cantera which opened in September 2005, and Ala Moana Center which was recently redeveloped
 
•  The acquisition of Whaler’s Village by one of our joint ventures, the acquisition of our partner’s share of GGP Ivanhoe IV, Inc. and the acquisition of Shopping Campina Grande as well as other properties in our Brazil joint venture
 
•  Higher specialty leasing and kiosk rents, especially at properties acquired in the 2004 TRC Merger, as well as higher termination income
 
•  Greater use of vacant space for temporary tenant rentals
 
Tenant recoveries increased primarily as a result of higher operating costs, as discussed below, that are substantially recoverable from our tenants.
 
Historically, our leases have included both a base rent component and a component which requires tenants to pay amounts related to all, or substantially all, of their share of real estate taxes and certain property operating expenses, including common area maintenance and insurance. The portion of these leases attributable to real estate tax and operating expense recoveries are recorded as “Tenant recoveries.” Recently, however, we structured our new tenant leases such that a higher proportion of our rental revenues represent operating expense recoveries. This change has resulted in a shift between minimum rents and tenant recoveries.
 
The increase in overage rents is primarily attributed to The Grand Canal Shoppes and Fashion Show as the result of increased sales and occupancy compared to 2005.
 
Other revenues include all other property revenues including vending, parking, sponsorship and advertising revenues in addition to real estate property net operating income (“NOI”) of discontinued operations less NOI of

Table of Contents

minority interests in consolidated joint ventures. Increases in vending, parking, sponsorship and advertising revenues in 2006 were partially offset by higher minority interest allocations, especially at The Shops at La Cantera, which opened in September 2005. Nonrecurring activity included a gain on sale of an unconsolidated office property in 2006, a non-recurring reduction to income by an Unconsolidated Property in 2005, and NOI of discontinued operations in 2005.
 
Higher real estate taxes are primarily attributed to The Shops at La Cantera and Jordan Creek Town Center with substantially all of the remaining properties in the portfolio reporting individual minor increases.
 
The increase in repairs and maintenance is primarily attributed to Ala Moana Center, The Shops at La Cantera, Providence Place, the acquisition of Whaler’s Village and the acquisition of the remaining interest in GGP Ivanhoe IV, Inc.
 
Marketing expenses decreased at substantially all of our properties due to significant cost control initiatives.
 
Property operating expenses increased due to higher electric expense, security expense and insurance costs across the portfolio. Property operating expenses in 2005 include a non-recurring reduction to expenses by an Unconsolidated Property, which was acquired during the TRC Merger. Such increases were offset by decreases at Oakwood Center which is operating at substantially reduced capacity due to hurricane-related damage incurred in September 2005.
 
The increase in the provision for doubtful accounts is primarily due to Oakwood Center and Riverwalk Marketplace, which were damaged as discussed in Note 14. Although we may not collect all of these amounts from our tenants, we do believe that the remaining amounts will be recovered under our business interruption insurance coverage. Under GAAP, however, not all amounts which we expect to collect for business interruption coverage are currently recognizable. The increases were partially offset by non-recurring provisions in 2005 including an individual tenant bankruptcy.
 
2005 compared to 2004 Acquisitions were the main reason for the increases in property revenues and expenses as detailed below:

Minimum rents increased $670 million as a result of acquisitions and $42 million largely as a result of Jordan Creek Town Center which opened in August 2004 and Ala Moana Center which was recently redeveloped.
 
Tenant recoveries and overage rents increased primarily as a result of acquisitions.
 
Substantially all of the increases in real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, marketing, other property operating costs and provision for doubtful accounts were attributable to acquisitions.

The increase in land sales is substantially due to a single $123 million sale to a home builder at our Summerlin project in December 2006. The increase was offset by lower demand at our Columbia and Fairwood projects. See the table below for additional detail regarding the acres sold and the price per acre sold.
 
Both real estate property net operating income and real estate property net operating income as a percent of land sales increased over 2005. These increases are primarily due to an increase in the builder participation at our Summerlin development and to an increase in the margin between the cost and the sales prices for developed lots. Lots developed and sold since the TRC Merger have higher profit margins than lots which were finished at the time of the TRC Merger because all lots were marked-to-market at the time of the TRC Merger.
 
As the new housing market softened throughout 2006, demand at our Summerlin, Columbia and Fairwood projects declined and a number of anticipated sales were cancelled by the builders. Unlike other markets in which builders have a significantly higher supply of unsold homes, demand at Woodlands and Bridgeland, which began sales in the first quarter of 2006, did not decline in 2006. We currently expect these trends to continue through 2007.

Average Price per Acre is the aggregate contract price paid for all parcels sold, divided by the relevant number of acres sold and is based on sales closed. This average price can fluctuate widely, depending on location of the parcels within a community and the unit price and density of what is sold. The average price per acre does not include payments received under builders’ price participation agreements, where we may receive additional proceeds post-sale and record those revenues at that later date, based on the final selling price of the home. In some cases, these payments have been significant with respect to the initial lot price. In addition, there will be other timing differences between lot sales and reported revenue due to timing of revenue recognition under generally accepted accounting principles. The above pricing data also does not reflect the impact of income taxes and the CSA (Note 14), which can have a material impact on results.
 
Residential Acreage includes standard, custom and high density residential land parcels. Standard residential lots are designated for detached and attached single- and multi-family homes, of a broad range, from entry-level to luxury homes. At Summerlin, we have designated certain residential parcels as custom lots as their premium price reflects their larger size and other distinguishing features, such as being within a gated community, having golf course access or being located at higher elevations. High density residential includes townhomes, apartments and condos.
 
Commercial Acreage is designated for retail, office, services and other for-profit activities, as well as those parcels allocated for use by government, schools, houses of worship and other not-for-profit entities.
 
Gross Acres encompasses all of the land located within the borders of the Master Planned Community, including parcels already sold, saleable parcels and non-saleable areas, such as roads, parks and recreation and conservation areas.
 
Remaining Saleable Acres includes only parcels that are intended for sale. The mix of intended use, as well as amount of remaining saleable acres, is likely to change over time as the master plan for a particular project is developed over time.

Table of Contents

Changes in consolidated tenant rents (which includes minimum rents, tenant recoveries and overage rents), land sales, property operating expenses and land sales operations were attributable to the same items discussed above in our segment basis results except for items related to our Unconsolidated Properties.
 
Management and other fees increased as a result of higher development fees earned as a result of the increased level of expansion and redevelopment activity in 2006. The increase was also attributed to higher management fees earned from our joint venture partners due to acquisitions and openings of ground up developments.
 
Property management and other costs increased primarily as a result of higher personnel and personnel-related costs in 2006. These increases were primarily attributable to revised allocations between our operating properties and management cost centers.
 
The increase in depreciation and amortization is primarily due to an increase in depreciation and amortization as a result of redevelopments, the opening of The Shops at La Cantera in September 2005, acquisition of the remaining interest in GGP Ivanhoe IV, Inc. and a change in depreciable life at one of our properties (Note 2).
 
The net increase in interest expense is primarily attributable to the following:
 
•  Increase in interest rates both on new fixed-rate financings and variable-rate debt as a result of increases in the LIBOR rate
 
•  Lower amortization of purchase accounting mark-to-market adjustments (which reduce interest expense). This amortization is reduced as debt is repaid and refinanced
 
•  Increased amortization of deferred finance costs as a result of finance costs incurred in conjunction with the 2006 Credit Facility
 
These increases were partially offset by lower interest expense on our corporate and other unsecured term loans as a result of refinancing activity in February and August 2006 and increased capitalized interest (which reduces interest expense). See Liquidity and Capital Resources for information regarding 2006 financing activity and Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” for additional information regarding the potential impact of future interest rate increases.
 
The increase in the provision for income taxes is attributable to higher pre-tax book income subject to taxes at our TRS entities, especially at the properties included in our Master Planned Communities segment. The increase in the provision for income taxes is more significant than the increase in net operating income generated by this segment as certain expenses, including participation expense, are not deductible for tax purposes and the tax basis of properties sold is, generally, significantly lower than the cost of properties sold for financial reporting purposes.
 
During the first quarter of 2007, we expect to complete an internal restructuring of certain of our operating properties that are currently owned by TRS entities. We currently estimate that the restructuring will reduce our deferred tax liability by approximately $300 million.

The increase in management and other fees for 2005, as a result of acquisitions, was offset by the loss of fees resulting from our acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in Town East Mall in March 2004. As Town East Mall is now wholly-owned and consolidated in our results of operations, we no longer receive management or other fees from this property.
 
Property management and other costs and depreciation and amortization increased in 2005 as compared to 2004 primarily as a result of acquisitions. Because acquisitions are initially recorded at fair value, the depreciable basis and the corresponding depreciation expense for recent acquisitions are generally higher than for properties that we have owned for a longer period of time.
 
Interest expense increased $496.5 million in 2005 as compared to 2004 as a result of increased debt associated with acquisitions and $62.6 million as a result of higher debt levels primarily as a result of redevelopments, working capital requirements and higher average interest rates during the current year. These increases were partially offset by lower debt extinguishment costs in 2005 as a result of deferred finance cost write-offs in 2004 resulting from TRC Merger funding. The weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt was 5.64% at December 31, 2005 compared to approximately 5.16% at December 31, 2004. Amortization of purchase accounting adjustments, which increased the fair value of our debt acquired in the TRC Merger, decreased interest expense by approximately $51 million in 2005 and $1 million in 2004.
 
The increase in the provision for income taxes for 2005 primarily relates to operations acquired in the TRC Merger, including the Master Planned Communities segment, which are conducted by various TRS entities.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our primary uses and sources of our consolidated cash are as follows:
 
     
Uses
 
Sources
 
Short-term:
   
• Tenant construction allowances
• Minor improvements made to individual properties that are not recoverable through common area maintenance charges to tenants
• Dividend payments
• Debt repayment requirements, including both principal and interest
• Stock repurchases
• Corporate and administrative expenses
 
• Operating cash flow, including the distributions of our share of cash flow produced by our Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates
• Land sales from the Master Planned Communities segment
• Borrowings under revolving credit facilities
Longer-term:
   
• Acquisitions, including Anchor stores available as a result of consolidations• New development, including the Master Planned Communities segment
• Major redevelopment, renovation or expansion programs at individual properties
• Debt repayment requirements, including both principal and interest
• Income tax payments
• International expansion
 
• Secured loans collateralized by individual properties
• Unsecured loans at either a venture or company level
• Construction loans
• Mini-permanent loans
• Long-term project financing
• Joint venture financing with institutional partners
• Equity securities
• Asset sales
 
The sources and uses of cash have generally been the same over the past several years. The decrease in the amount of funds necessary for acquisitions in 2006 and 2005 has been partially offset by the increase in the amount of funds necessary for developments and redevelopments.
 
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
 
Net cash provided by operating activities was $816.4 million in 2006, $842.0 million in 2005 and $719.4 million in 2004.

Land development and acquisitions expenditures, which are related to our Master Planned Communities segment, were $184.3 million in 2006, $140.8 million in 2005 and $27.6 million in 2004. These expenditures will vary from year to year based on the pace of development and expected sales. As discussed above, demand at our Summerlin, Columbia and Fairwood projects declined in 2006 and we expect this trend to continue into 2007. As a result, land development and acquisitions expenditures are also expected to decline in 2007. Expenditures for 2004 reflect only the six week period subsequent to the November 2004 TRC Merger.
 
Net cash used for working capital needs totaled $72.1 million in 2006, $71.4 million in 2005 and $47.1 million in 2004.
 
These items were partially offset by higher net income after adjustments to reconcile to net cash provided by operating activities. The increase in 2006 compared to 2005 is primarily attributable to higher real estate net operating income in both our Retail and Other and Master Planned Communities segments, partially offset by higher interest expense and current provision for income taxes. The increase in 2005 compared to 2004 is primarily attributable to acquisitions.
 
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $210.4 million in 2006, $154.2 million in 2005 and $9.0 billion in 2004.
 
Net investing cash provided by (used in) our unconsolidated affiliates was $409.9 million in 2006, $191.5 million in 2005 and ($86.0) million in 2004. The changes are primarily attributable to distributions resulting from financing activities by our unconsolidated affiliates.
 
Cash used for acquisition/development of real estate and property additions/improvements was $699.4 million in 2006, $498.0 million in 2005 and $9.0 billion in 2004. Unlike 2004 which included significant acquisitions, including the TRC Merger, expenditures in 2006 and 2005 were primarily related to development and redevelopment activity. As of December 31, 2006, we had 17 major approved redevelopment projects underway (each with budgeted projected expenditures, at our ownership share, in excess of $10 million) and nine new retail center development projects under construction. Total projected expenditures (including our share of the Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates) for these projects were approximately $1.4 billion as of December 31, 2006. We also have eight potential new retail or mixed-use developments.
 
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
 
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities was ($611.6) million in 2006, ($624.6) million in 2005 and $8.3 billion in 2004.
 
Distributions to common stockholders, holders of Common Units and holders of perpetual and convertible preferred units totaled $510.4 million in 2006, $461.9 million in 2005 and $382.4 million in 2004. Dividends paid per common share were $1.68 in 2006, $1.49 in 2005 and $1.26 in 2004.
 
On November 17, 2004, we sold 15.9 million shares of our common stock for $512.7 million pursuant to a warrant offering.
 
On August 3, 2005, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized, effective immediately, a $200 million per fiscal year common stock repurchase program. Stock repurchases under this program may be made through open market or privately negotiated transactions through 2009, unless the program is earlier terminated. The repurchase program gives us the ability to acquire some or all of the shares of common stock to be issued upon the exercise of certain employee stock options and pursuant to the CSA. We repurchased 1.9 million shares for $85.9 million under this program in 2006 and 2.2 million shares for $98.9 million in 2005.
 
We redeemed perpetual preferred units totaling $183.0 million in 2005 and $107.9 million in 2004.
 
Principal payments on our debt exceeded new financings by $17.2 million in 2006 whereas new financings exceeded principal payments by $115.3 million in 2005 and $8.3 billion in 2004. The net financing activity in 2004 reflects funding for the TRC Merger.

On February 24, 2006, we amended the 2004 Credit Facility, which was entered into to fund the TRC Merger, and entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2006 Credit Facility”). The 2006 Credit Facility provides for a $2.85 billion term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $650 million revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2006, $590 million is available to be drawn on the revolving credit facility.
 
The 2006 Credit Facility has a four year term, with a one year extension option. The interest rate ranges from LIBOR plus 1.15% to LIBOR plus 1.5%, depending on our leverage ratio and assuming we maintain our election to have these loans designated as Eurodollar loans. The interest rate, as of December 31, 2006, was LIBOR plus 1.25%. Quarterly principal payments on the Term Loan of $12.5 million begin March 31, 2007, with the balance due at maturity.
 
Under the terms of the 2006 Credit Facility, we are subject to customary affirmative and negative covenants. If a default occurs, the lenders will have the option of declaring all outstanding amounts immediately due and payable. Events of default include a failure to maintain our REIT status under the Internal Revenue Code, a failure to remain listed on the New York Stock Exchange and such customary events as nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, breach of representations and warranties, breach of covenant, cross-default to other indebtedness and certain bankruptcy events.
 
Concurrently with the 2006 Credit Facility transaction, we also entered into a $1.4 billion term loan (the “Short Term Loan”) and TRCLP entered into a $500 million term loan (the “Bridge Loan”). The Short Term Loan was repaid in August 2006 as part of various refinancing transactions including the GGP MPTC. The Bridge Loan was fully repaid in May 2006 with a portion of the proceeds obtained from the sale of $800 million of senior unsecured notes which were issued by TRCLP. These notes provide for semi-annual, interest-only payments at a rate of 6.75% and payment of the principal in full on May 1, 2013.
 
Also concurrently with the 2006 Credit Facility transaction, GGP Capital Trust  I, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of GGPLP, completed a private placement of $200 million of trust preferred securities (“TRUPS”). The Trust also issued $6.2 million of Common Securities to GGPLP. The Trust used the proceeds from the sale of the TRUPS and Common Securities to purchase $206.2 million of floating rate Junior Subordinated Notes of GGPLP due 2036. The TRUPS require distributions equal to LIBOR plus 1.45%. Distributions are cumulative and accrue from the date of original issuance. The TRUPS mature on April 30, 2036, but may be redeemed beginning on April 30, 2011 if the Trust exercises its right to redeem a like amount of the Junior Subordinated Notes. The Junior Subordinated Notes bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.45%.

Although agreements to refinance debt maturing in 2007 have not yet been reached, we currently anticipate that all of our debt will be repaid or refinanced on a timely basis. We believe that we have sufficient sources of funds to meet our cash needs and that covenants in the 2006 Credit Facility will not materially impact our liquidity or our ability to operate our business. However, there can be no assurance that we can obtain such financing on satisfactory terms. We will continue to monitor our capital structure, investigate potential investments or joint venture partnership arrangements and purchase additional properties if they can be acquired and financed on terms that we reasonably believe will enhance long-term stockholder value.
 
Certain properties are subject to financial performance covenants, primarily debt service coverage ratios. We believe we are in compliance with all such covenants as of December 31, 2006.
 
We have not generally guaranteed the debt of the Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates, however, certain Consolidated Properties are cross-collateralized with Unconsolidated Properties (Note 5) and we have retained or agreed to be responsible for a portion of certain debt of the Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates (Note 5).
 
Contractual Cash Obligations and Commitments
 
The following table aggregates our contractual cash obligations and commitments subsequent to December 31, 2006:

(3) Reflects $250 million minimum purchase price of the Palazzo (Note 14). We currently expect the actual purchase price to be approximately $600 million.
 
(4) Reflects accrued and incurred construction costs payable in our Retail and Other and Master Planned Communities segments. Routine trade payables have been excluded. We expect development and redevelopment expenditures of approximately $1 billion in 2007.
 
(5) Other long-term liabilities related to ongoing real estate taxes have not been included in the table as such amounts depend upon future applicable real estate tax rates. Real estate tax expense was $218.5 million in 2006, $206.2 million in 2005 and $128.3 million in 2004.
 
We anticipate that all of our debt will be repaid or refinanced on a timely basis. Other than as previously discussed or in conjunction with possible future new developments or acquisitions, there are no current plans to incur additional debt, increase the amounts available under our credit facilities or raise equity capital.
 
We believe that we have adequate sources of funds if additional capital is required for any of the above listed obligations or for other purposes. However, there can be no assurance that we can obtain such financing on satisfactory terms.
 
In conjunction with the TRC Merger, we assumed TRC’s obligations under a Contingent Stock Agreement (“CSA”). TRC entered into the CSA in 1996 when they acquired The Hughes Corporation (“Hughes”). This acquisition included various assets, including Summerlin (the “CSA Assets”), a project in our Master Planned Communities segment. We agreed that the TRC Merger would not have a prejudicial effect on the former Hughes

Table of Contents

owners or their successors (the “Beneficiaries”) with respect to their receipt of securities pursuant to the CSA. We further agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Beneficiaries against losses arising out of any breach by us of these covenants.
 
Under the CSA, we are required to issue shares of our common stock semi-annually (February and August) to the Beneficiaries. The number of shares to be issued is based on cash flows from the development and/or sale of the CSA Assets and our stock price. We account for the Beneficiaries’ share of earnings from the CSA Assets as an operating expense. We delivered 1.8 million shares of our common stock (including 1.7 million treasury shares) to the Beneficiaries in 2006 and 1.6 million (including 1.0 million treasury shares) in 2005.
 
We are also required to make a final distribution to the Beneficiaries in 2009. The amount of this distribution will be based on the appraised values of the CSA Assets and is expected to be significant. We will account for this distribution as additional investments in the related assets (that is, contingent consideration).
 
The issuance of shares pursuant to any of the semi-annual or final distributions could be dilutive to our existing stockholders if we issue new shares rather than treasury shares or shares purchased on the open market.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements.
 
REIT Requirements
 
In order to remain qualified as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes, we must distribute or pay tax on 100% of our capital gains and at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income to stockholders. In determining distributions, the Board of Directors considers operating cash flow.
 
We anticipate that our operating cash flow and potential new debt or equity will provide adequate liquidity to conduct our operations, fund general and administrative expenses, fund operating costs and interest payments and allow distributions to our stockholders in accordance with the requirements of the Code.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Developments
 
As described in Note 15, new accounting pronouncements have been issued which are effective for the current or subsequent year.
 
Inflation
 
Substantially all of our tenant leases contain provisions designed to partially mitigate the negative impact of inflation. Such provisions include clauses enabling us to receive overage rents based on tenants’ gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. In addition, many of the leases expire each year which may enable us to replace or renew such expiring leases with new leases at higher rents. Finally, many of the existing leases require the tenants to pay amounts related to all, or substantially all, of their share of certain operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby partially reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. In general, these amounts either vary annually based on actual expenditures or are set on an initial share of costs with provisions for annual increases.
 
Inflation also poses a risk to us due to the probability of future increases in interest rates. Such increases would adversely impact us due to our outstanding variable-rate debt. We have limited our exposure to interest rate fluctuations related to a portion of our variable-rate debt by the use of interest rate cap and swap agreements. Finally, subject to current market conditions, we have a policy of replacing variable-rate debt with fixed-rate debt. However, in an increasing interest rate environment the fixed rates we can obtain with such replacement fixed-rate debt will also continue to increase.

Item 7A.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
We are subject to market risk associated with changes in interest rates both in terms of variable-rate debt and the price of new fixed-rate debt upon maturity of existing debt and for acquisitions. As of December 31, 2006, we had consolidated debt of $20.5 billion, including $3.5 billion of variable-rate debt of which approximately $820.0 million was subject to interest rate swap agreements, which fixed the interest rate we are required to pay on such debt at approximately 4.27% per annum (excluding the impact of deferred finance costs). Although the majority of the remaining variable-rate debt is subject to interest rate cap agreements pursuant to the loan agreements and financing terms, such interest rate caps generally limit our interest rate exposure only if LIBOR exceeds a rate per annum significantly higher (generally above 8% per annum) than current LIBOR rates (5.35% at December 31, 2006). A 25 basis point movement in the interest rate on the $2.7 billion of variable-rate debt which is not subject to interest rate swap agreements would result in an approximately $6.7 million annualized increase or decrease in consolidated interest expense and operating cash flows.
 
In addition, we are subject to interest rate exposure as a result of variable-rate debt collateralized by the Unconsolidated Properties for which similar interest rate swap agreements have not been obtained. Our share (based on our respective equity ownership interests in the Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates) of such remaining variable-rate debt was approximately $295.6 million at December 31, 2006. A similar 25 basis point annualized movement in the interest rate on the variable-rate debt of the Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates would result in an approximately $0.7 million annualized increase or decrease in our equity in the income and operating cash flows from Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates.
 
We are further subject to interest rate risk with respect to our fixed-rate financing in that changes in interest rates will impact the fair value of our fixed-rate financing. To determine fair value, the fixed-rate debt is discounted at a rate based on an estimate of current lending rates, assuming the debt is outstanding through maturity and considering the collateral. At December 31, 2006, the fair value of our debt is estimated to be approximately $150 million lower than the carrying value of $20.5 billion. If LIBOR were to increase by 25 basis points, the fair value of our debt would be approximately $320 million lower than the carrying value and the fair value of our swap agreements would increase by approximately $0.9 million. For additional information concerning our debt, reference is made to Item 7, Liquidity and Capital Resources and Note 6.
 
We have not entered into any transactions using derivative commodity instruments.
 
Item 8.   Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
 
Reference is made to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Consolidated Financial Statement Schedule beginning on page F-1 for the required information.
 
Item 9.   Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
 
None.
 
Item 9A.   Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures  As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and the CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information that we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
 
Internal Controls over Financial Reporting  During the fourth quarter, we completed the remediation of the material weaknesses in internal control relating to our financial close process and accounting for income taxes identified as of December 31, 2005. There have been no other changes in our internal controls during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our

internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the end of the period covered by this report.
 
MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our principal executive and principal financial officers to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S.
 
As of December 31, 2006, we conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework utilizing the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in “Internal Controls — Integrated Framework.” Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2006, the Company maintained effective internal controls over financial reporting.
 
Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, audited management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 and, based on that audit, issued the report set forth herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
General Growth Properties, Inc.
Chicago, Illinois
 
We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that General Growth Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
 
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
In our opinion, management’s assessment that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
 
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statement schedule as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 of the Company and our reports dated February 28, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statement schedule.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
General Growth Properties, Inc.
Chicago, Illinois
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of General Growth Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the consolidated financial statements of GGP/Homart, Inc., GGP/Homart II L.L.C., and GGP-TRS L.L.C., the Company’s investments in which are accounted for by use of the equity method. The Company’s equity (deficit) of $(104,853,000) and $70,175,000 in GGP/Homart, Inc.’s net assets as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and of $30,204,000, $31,425,000, and $21,148,000 in GGP/Homart, Inc.’s net income for each of the three years in the respective period ended December 31, 2006 are included in the accompanying financial statements. The Company’s equity of $81,926,000 and $259,716,000 in GGP/Homart II L.L.C.’s net assets as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and of $16,839,000, $33,849,000, and $36,724,000 in GGP/Homart II L.L.C.’s net income for each of the three years in the respective period ended December 31, 2006 are included in the accompanying financial statements. The Company’s equity (deficit) of $(30,170,000) and $3,764,000 in GGP-TRS L.L.C.’s net assets as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and of $15,004,000 and $19,308,000 in GGP-TRS L.L.C.’s net income for each of the two years in the respective period ended December 31, 2006 are included in the accompanying financial statements. The financial statements of GGP/Homart, Inc., GGP/Homart II L.L.C., and GGP-TRS L.L.C. were audited by other auditors related to the periods listed above whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for such companies, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the reports of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of General Growth Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 28, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Note 1   Organization
 
General
 
General Growth Properties, Inc. (“GGP”), a Delaware corporation, is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, referred to as a “REIT.” GGP was organized in 1986 and through its subsidiaries and affiliates operates, develops and manages retail and other rental properties, primarily shopping centers, which are located primarily throughout the United States. As of December 31, 2006, GGP also has international investments through unconsolidated real estate affiliates in Brazil, Turkey and Costa Rica totaling approximately $128.0 million. Additionally, GGP develops and sells land for residential, commercial and other uses primarily in large-scale, long-term master planned communities projects in and around Columbia, Maryland; Summerlin, Nevada; and Houston, Texas. In these notes, the terms “we,” “us” and “our” refer to GGP and its subsidiaries (the “Company”).
 
Substantially all of our business is conducted through GGP Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership” or “GGPLP”). As of December 31, 2006, ownership of the Operating Partnership was as follows:
 
         
  82 %   General Growth, as sole general partner
  16     Limited partners that indirectly include family members of the original stockholders of the Company. Represented by common units of limited partnership interest (the “Common Units”)
  2     Limited partners that include subsequent contributors of properties to the Operating Partnership which are also represented by Common Units
         
  100 %    
         
 
The Operating Partnership also has preferred units of limited partnership interest (the “Preferred Units”) outstanding. Under certain circumstances, the Preferred Units are convertible into Common Units which are redeemable for shares of GGP common stock on a one-for-one basis.
 
In addition to holding ownership interests in various joint ventures, the Operating Partnership generally conducts its operations through the following subsidiaries:
 
•  GGPLP L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “LLC”), has ownership interests in the majority of our Consolidated Properties (as defined below) (other than those acquired in The Rouse Company merger (the “TRC Merger”).
 
•  The Rouse Company LP (“TRCLP”), successor to The Rouse Company (“TRC”), which includes both REIT and taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), has ownership interests in Consolidated Properties and Unconsolidated Properties (each as defined below).
 
•  General Growth Management, Inc. (“GGMI”), a TRS, manages, leases, and performs various other services for most of our Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates (as defined below) and approximately 30 properties owned by unaffiliated third parties. Effective July 1, 2006, GGMI also performs tenant related marketing and strategic partnership services at all of our Consolidated Properties.
 
In this report, we refer to our ownership interests in majority-owned or controlled properties as “Consolidated Properties”, to joint ventures in which we own a non-controlling interest as “Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates” and the properties owned by such joint ventures as the “Unconsolidated Properties.” Our “Company Portfolio” includes both our Consolidated Properties and our Unconsolidated Properties.
 
Shareholder Rights Plan
 
We have a shareholder rights plan which will impact a potential acquirer unless the acquirer negotiates with our Board of Directors and the Board of Directors approves the transaction. Pursuant to this plan, one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) is attached to each currently outstanding or subsequently issued share of our common

stock. Prior to becoming exercisable, the Rights trade together with our common stock. In general, the Rights will become exercisable if a person or group acquires or announces a tender or exchange offer for 15% or more of our common stock. Each Right will initially entitle the holder to purchase from GGP one-third of one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $100 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), at an exercise price of $148 per one one-thousandth of a share, subject to adjustment. If a person or group acquires 15% or more of our common stock, each Right will entitle the holder (other than the acquirer) to purchase shares of our common stock (or, in certain circumstances, cash or other securities) having a market value of twice the exercise price of a Right at such time. Under certain circumstances, each Right will entitle the holder (other than the acquirer) to purchase the common stock of the acquirer having a market value of twice the exercise price of a Right at such time. In addition, under certain circumstances, our Board of Directors may exchange each Right (other than those held by the acquirer) for one share of our common stock, subject to adjustment. If the Rights become exercisable, holders of common units of partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, other than GGP, will receive the number of Rights they would have received if their units had been redeemed and the purchase price paid in our common stock. The Rights expire on November 18, 2008, but may be extended or redeemed earlier by our Board of Directors for one-third of $0.01 per Right.
 
Note 2   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of GGP, our subsidiaries and joint ventures in which we have a controlling interest. For consolidated joint ventures, the non-controlling partner’s share of operations (generally computed as the joint venture partner’s ownership percentage) is included in Minority Interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
 
Properties
 
Real estate assets are stated at cost. Construction and improvement costs incurred in connection with the development of new properties or the redevelopment of existing properties are capitalized to the extent the total carrying value of the property does not exceed the estimated fair value of the completed property. Real estate taxes and interest costs incurred during construction periods are capitalized. Capitalized interest costs are based on qualified expenditures and interest rates in place during the construction period. Capitalized real estate taxes and interest costs are amortized over lives which are consistent with the constructed assets.
 
Pre-development costs, which generally include legal and professional fees and other directly-related third-party costs, are capitalized as part of the property being developed. In the event a development is no longer deemed to be probable, the costs previously capitalized are expensed.
 
Tenant improvements, either paid directly or in the form of construction allowances paid to tenants, are capitalized and depreciated over the average lease term. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for significant betterments and improvements are capitalized.
 
Our real estate assets, including developments in progress, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. A real estate asset is considered to be impaired when the estimated future undiscounted operating cash flow is less than its carrying value. To the extent an impairment has occurred, the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its estimated fair value will be expensed to operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

 
Depreciation or amortization expense is computed using the straight-line method based upon the following estimated useful lives:
 
         
    Years  
 
Buildings and improvements
    40-45  
Equipment, tenant improvements and fixtures
    5-10  
 
Acquisitions of Operating Properties
 
Acquisitions of properties are accounted for utilizing the purchase method and, accordingly, the results of operations of acquired properties are included in our results of operations from the respective dates of acquisition. Estimates of future cash flows and other valuation techniques are used to allocate the purchase price of acquired property between land, buildings and improvements, equipment and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities such as amounts related to in-place at-market tenant leases, acquired above and below-market tenant and ground leases and tenant relationships. Initial valuations are subject to change until such information is finalized no later than 12 months from the acquisition date.
 
The fair values of tangible assets are determined on an “if-vacant” basis. The “if-vacant” fair value is allocated to land, where applicable, buildings, tenant improvements and equipment based on comparable sales and other relevant information obtained in connection with the acquisition of the property.
 
The estimated fair value of acquired in-place at-market tenant leases are the costs we would have incurred to lease the property to the occupancy level of the property at the date of acquisition. Such estimate includes the fair value of leasing commissions, legal costs and tenant coordination costs that would be incurred to lease the property to this occupancy level. Additionally, we evaluate the time period over which such occupancy level would be achieved and include an estimate of the net operating costs (primarily real estate taxes, insurance and utilities) incurred during the lease-up period, which generally ranges up to one year. Acquired in-place at-market tenant leases are amortized over the average lease term.
 
Intangible assets and liabilities are also recorded for above-market and below-market in-place tenant and ground leases where we are either the lessor or the lessee. Above-market and below-market in-place tenant and ground lease values are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between the contractual amounts to be received or paid pursuant to the in-place leases and our estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the leases. Above and below-market lease values are amortized over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases (approximately five years for tenant leases and approximately 50 years for ground leases).
 
Due to existing contacts and relationships with tenants at our currently owned properties and at properties currently managed for others, no significant value has been ascribed to the tenant relationships at the acquired properties.
 
The excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired (including identified intangible assets) and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss for an asset group is allocated to the long-lived assets of the group on a pro-rata basis using the relative carrying amounts of those assets, unless the fair value of specific components of the reporting group are determinable without undue cost and effort.
 
Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates
 
We account for investments in joint ventures where we own a non-controlling joint interest using the equity method. Under the equity method, the cost of our investment is adjusted for our share of the equity in earnings of such Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates from the date of acquisition and reduced by distributions received. Generally,


F-13

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

the operating agreements with respect to our Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates provide that assets, liabilities and funding obligations are shared in accordance with our ownership percentages. Therefore, we generally also share in the profit and losses, cash flows and other matters relating to our Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates in accordance with our respective ownership percentages. Except for Retained Debt (as described in Note 5), differences between the carrying value of our investment in the Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates and our share of the underlying equity of such Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates are amortized over lives ranging from five to forty years.
 
When cumulative distributions, which are primarily from financing proceeds, exceed our investment in the joint venture, the investment is reported as a liability in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 
For those joint ventures where we own less than a 5% interest and have virtually no influence on the joint venture’s operating and financial policies, we account for our investments using the cost method.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Highly-liquid investments with maturities at dates of purchase of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents.
 
Investments in Marketable Securities
 
Most investments in marketable securities are held in an irrevocable trust for participants in qualified defined contribution plans which were acquired with the TRC Merger, are classified as trading securities and are carried at fair value with changes in values recognized in earnings. Investments in marketable securities with maturities at dates of purchase in excess of three months are carried at amortized cost as it is our intention to hold these investments until maturity. Other investments in marketable equity securities subject to significant restrictions on sale or transfer are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value with unrealized changes in values recognized in other comprehensive income.
 
Leases
 
Leases which transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership to tenants are considered finance leases and the present values of the minimum lease payments and the estimated residual values of the leased properties, if any, are accounted for as receivables. Leases which transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership to us are considered capital leases and the present values of the minimum lease payments are accounted for as assets and liabilities.
 
Deferred Expenses
 
Deferred expenses consist principally of financing fees and leasing costs and commissions. Deferred financing fees are amortized to interest expense using the interest method (or other methods which approximate the interest method) over the terms of the respective agreements. Deferred leasing costs and commissions are amortized using the straight-line method over the average life of the tenant leases. Deferred expenses in our Consolidated Balance Sheets are shown at cost, net of accumulated amortization of $151.0 million as of December 31, 2006 and $147.5 million as of December 31, 2005.
 
Minority Interests — Common (Note 12)
 
Minority Interests — Common includes income allocated to holders of the Common Units (the “OP Minority Interests”) as well as to minority interest venture partners in consolidated joint ventures. Income is allocated to the OP Minority Interests based on their ownership percentage of the Operating Partnership. This ownership percentage, as well as the total net assets of the Operating Partnership, changes when additional shares of our common stock or Common Units are issued. Such changes result in an allocation between stockholders’ equity and


F-14

GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Minority Interests-Common in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Due to the number of such capital transactions that occur each period, we have presented a single net effect of all such allocations for the period as the “Adjustment for Minority Interest in Operating Partnership” in our Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity (rather than separately allocating the minority interest for each individual capital transaction).
 
Treasury Stock
 
We account for repurchases of common stock using the cost method with common stock in treasury classified in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a reduction of stockholders’ equity. Treasury stock is reissued at average cost.
 
Revenue Recognition and Related Matters
 
Minimum rent revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Minimum rent revenues also include amounts collected from tenants to allow the termination of their leases prior to their scheduled termination dates and accretion related to above and below-market tenant leases on acquired properties.
 
Straight-line rents receivable, which represent the current net cumulative rents recognized prior to when billed and collectible as provided by the terms of the leases, of approximately $159.2 million as of December 31, 2006 and $124.8 million as of December 31, 2005 are included in Accounts and notes receivable, net in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 
We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts against the portion of accounts receivable, including straight-line rents, which is estimated to be uncollectible. Such allowances are reviewed periodically based upon our recovery experience. We also evaluate the probability of collecting future rent which is recognized currently under a straight-line methodology. This analysis considers the long-term nature of our leases, as a certain portion of the straight-line rent currently recognizable will not be billed to the tenant until many years into the future. Our experience relative to unbilled deferred rent receivable is that a certain portion of the amounts straight-lined into revenue are never collected from (or billed to) the tenant due to early lease terminations. For that portion of the otherwise recognizable deferred rent that is not deemed to be probable of collection, no revenue is recognized. Accounts receivable in our Consolidated Balance Sheets are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $56.9 million as of December 31, 2006 and $58.5 million as of December 31, 2005.
 
Overage rents are recognized on an accrual basis once tenant sales exceed contractual tenant lease thresholds. Recoveries from tenants are established in the leases or computed based upon a formula related to real estate taxes, insurance and other shopping center operating expenses and are generally recognized as revenues in the period the related costs are incurred.
 
Management and other fees primarily represent management and leasing fees, construction fees, financing fees and fees for other ancillary services performed for the benefit of the Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates and for properties owned by third parties. Such fees are recognized as revenue when earned.
 
Revenues from land sales are recognized using the full accrual method provided that various criteria relating to the terms of the transactions and our subsequent involvement with the land sold are met. Revenues relating to transactions that do not meet the established criteria are deferred and recognized when the criteria are met or using the installment or cost recovery methods, as appropriate in the circumstances. For land sale transactions in which we are required to perform additional services and incur significant costs after title has passed, revenues and cost of sales are recognized on a percentage of completion basis.
 
Cost ratios for land sales are determined as a specified percentage of land sales revenues recognized for each community development project. The cost ratios used are based on actual costs incurred and estimates of future development costs and sales revenues to completion of each project. The ratios are reviewed regularly and revised for changes in sales and cost estimates or development plans. Significant changes in these estimates or development plans, whether due to changes in market conditions or other factors, could result in changes to the cost ratio used for a specific project. The specific identification method is used to determine cost of sales for certain parcels of land,


F-15

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

including acquired parcels we do not intend to develop or for which development is complete at the date of acquisition.
 
Income Taxes (Note 7)
 
Deferred income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. An increase or decrease in the deferred tax liability that results from a change in circumstances, and which causes a change in our judgment about expected future tax consequences of events, is included in the current tax provision. Deferred income taxes also reflect the impact of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is provided if we believe it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. An increase or decrease in the valuation allowance that results from a change in circumstances, and which causes a change in our judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset, is included in the current tax provision.
 
In many of our Master Planned Communities, gains with respect to sales of land for commercial use, condominiums or apartments are reported for tax purposes on the percentage of completion method. Under the percentage of completion method, gain is recognized for tax purposes as costs are incurred in satisfaction of contractual obligations. In contrast, gains with respect to sales of land for single family residences are reported for tax purposes under the completed contract method. Under the completed contract method, gain is recognized for tax purposes when 95% of the costs of our contractual obligations are incurred.
 
Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)
 
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed after adjusting the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation for the effects of all potentially dilutive common shares. The dilutive effects of convertible securities are computed using the “if-converted” method and the dilutive effects of options, warrants and their equivalents (including fixed awards and nonvested stock issued under stock-based compensation plans) are computed using the “treasury stock” method.
 
Dilutive EPS excludes anti-dilutive options where the exercise price was higher than the average market price of our common stock and options for which conditions for issuance were not achieved. Such options totaled 2,250,227 in 2006, 1,026,777 in 2005 and 1,590,974 in 2004. Outstanding Common Units have also been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because there would be no effect on EPS as the minority interests’ share of income would also be added back to net income.

Derivative Financial Instruments
 
We use derivative financial instruments to reduce risk associated with movements in interest rates. We may choose or be required by lenders to reduce cash flow and earnings volatility associated with interest rate risk exposure on variable-rate borrowings and/or forecasted fixed-rate borrowings by entering into interest rate swaps or interest rate caps. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
 
Under interest rate cap agreements, we make initial premium payments to the counterparties in exchange for the right to receive payments from them if interest rates exceed specified levels during the agreement period. Under interest rate swap agreements, we and the counterparties agree to exchange the difference between fixed-rate and variable-rate interest amounts calculated by reference to specified notional principal amounts during the agreement period. Notional principal amounts are used to express the volume of these transactions, but the cash requirements and amounts subject to credit risk are substantially less.
 
Parties to interest rate exchange agreements are subject to market risk for changes in interest rates and risk of credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty. We do not require any collateral under these agreements, but deal only with highly-rated financial institution counterparties (which, in certain cases, are also the lenders on the related debt) and expect that all counterparties will meet their obligations.
 
Substantially all of our interest rate swap and other derivative financial instruments qualify as cash flow hedges and hedge our exposure to forecasted interest payments on variable-rate LIBOR-based debt. Accordingly, the effective portion of the instruments’ gains or losses is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings when the related forecasted transactions affect earnings. If we discontinue a cash flow hedge because it is no longer probable that the original forecasted transaction will occur or if a hedge is deemed no longer effective, the net gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is immediately reclassified into earnings.


F-17

GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

 
We have not recognized any losses as a result of hedge discontinuance and the expense that we recognized related to changes in the time value of interest rate cap agreements and ineffective hedges was insignificant for 2006, 2005 and 2004.
 
Amounts receivable or payable under interest rate cap and swap agreements are accounted for as adjustments to interest expense on the related debt.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The fair values of our financial instruments approximate their carrying value in our financial statements except for debt. We estimated the fair value of our debt based on quoted market prices for publicly-traded debt and on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made for other debt. The discount rates used approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and credit quality, assume the debt is outstanding through maturity and consider the debt’s collateral (if applicable). We have utilized market information as available or present value techniques to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed. Since such amounts are estimates, there can be no assurance that the disclosed value of any financial instrument could be realized by immediate settlement of the instrument.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense
 
On January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS 123(R)”). SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. SFAS 123(R) replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”) which we adopted in the second quarter of 2002. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) relating to SFAS 123(R). We have applied the provisions of SAB 107 in our adoption of SFAS 123(R).
 
We adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006. Our Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, our Consolidated Financial Statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123(R). Because we had previously adopted SFAS 123, the impact of the adoption of SFAS 123(R) was not significant to our Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Under SFAS 123, we did not estimate forfeitures for options issued pursuant to our Incentive Stock Plans. The cumulative effect of estimating forfeitures for these plans decreased compensation expense by approximately $150 thousand and has been reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income in 2006.
 
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123 in the second quarter of 2002, we accounted for stock-based awards using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25 as allowed under SFAS 123. Under the intrinsic value method, compensation cost is recognized for common stock awards or stock options only if the quoted market price of the


F-18

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

stock as of the grant date (or other measurement date, if later) is greater than the amount the grantee must pay to acquire the stock. Because the exercise price of stock options and the fair value of restricted stock grants equaled the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant, no compensation expense related to grants issued under the 1993 Stock Incentive Plan was recognized. As a result of the cash settlement option available for threshold-vesting stock options (“TSOs”) issued prior to 2004, compensation expense equal to the change in the market price of our stock at the end of each reporting period continues to be recognized for all such unexercised TSOs.
 
On November 10, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position No. 123(R)-3 “Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards.” The transition methods include procedures to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (“APIC pool”) related to the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding upon adoption of SFAS 123(R). We have adopted the transition guidance in SFAS 123(R) and not the alternative method described in this FASB staff position.
 
Foreign Currency Translation
 
The functional currencies for our international joint ventures are their local currencies. Assets and liabilities of these investments are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are accumulated in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. For example, significant estimates and assumptions have been made with respect to useful lives of assets, capitalization of development and leasing costs, provision for income taxes, recoverable amounts of receivables and deferred taxes, initial valuations and related amortization periods of deferred costs and intangibles, particularly with respect to acquisitions, and cost ratios and completion percentages used for land sales. Actual results could differ from these and other estimates.
 
Reclassifications and Corrections
 
Certain amounts in the 2005 and 2004 Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
 
During 2006, we made various corrections to the TRCLP purchase price allocation that was recorded in our 2005 Consolidated Financial Statements. Corrections related to the aggregate net deferred tax liabilities acquired in the TRC Merger reduced deferred tax liabilities by approximately $58.7 million with a corresponding decrease in goodwill in the first quarter of 2006 and additional corrections identified in the fourth quarter increased deferred tax liabilities by $15.5 million, increased goodwill by $9.8 million, increased deferred tax assets by $2.1 million and decreased current taxes payable by $3.6 million. The net reductions to deferred tax liabilities of $43.2 million and goodwill of $48.9 million and the other corrections noted above, had no impact on earnings for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, or any period within such years.
 
Additionally, we reclassified approximately $65 million of below-market ground leases, which were included in prepaid expenses and other assets in our December 31, 2005 Consolidated Balance Sheet, to owned land in 2006. This change and the corresponding revision of previously recorded amortization decreased other property operating costs by approximately $1.9 million and increased net income by approximately $1.5 million during 2006. We also


F-19

corrected the amortization period used to amortize the tenant-related intangible assets and liabilities at one of the properties acquired in the TRC Merger. This correction increased depreciation and amortization by approximately $2.4 million and decreased net income by approximately $2.0 million in 2006.
 
None of the adjustments impacted our cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities in any period in 2006 and 2005. We believe that the effects of these changes are not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Changes in gross asset (liability) balances are the result of the ground lease reclassification (Note 2), GGP Ivanhoe IV, Inc. acquisition (Note 5) and acquisition of the minority interest in two joint ventures.
 
Amortization of these intangible assets and liabilities, and similar assets and liabilities from our Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates at our share, decreased income (excluding the impact of minority interest and the provision for income taxes) by approximately $118.2 million in 2006 and $157.5 million in 2005 and increased net income by $8.4 million in 2004.
 
Future amortization, including our share of such items from Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates, is estimated to decrease income (excluding the impact of minority interest and the provision for income taxes) by approximately $120 million in 2007, $90 million in 2008, $60 million in 2009, $40 million in 2010, and $30 million in 2011.

Note 4   Discontinued Operations and Gains (Losses) on Dispositions of Interests in Operating Properties
 
In December 2005, our Board of Directors approved two separate plans to dispose of certain office/industrial properties originally acquired in the TRCLP merger in 2004. The plans included 21 office properties which were sold at a total sale price of approximately $125 million and 16 industrial buildings which were sold at a total sale price of approximately $57 million. All of the properties were located in Hunt Valley and Woodlawn, Baltimore, Maryland. The sales closed in December 2005. As a result of the dispositions, we recognized a loss of approximately $1.3 million in 2006 and a gain of approximately $6.2 million in 2005, both before minority interest.
 
In August 2004, our Board of Directors approved plans to dispose of certain of the commercial/business properties originally acquired in the JP Realty acquisition in July 2002. The sale closed on November 1, 2004 for $67 million and a gain of approximately $11 million was recognized.
 
Pursuant to SFAS No. 144, the operations of these properties (net of minority interests) have been reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Revenues and income before minority interest were as follows:

Note 5   Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates
 
The Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates include our non-controlling investments in real estate joint ventures. Generally, we share in the profits and losses, cash flows and other matters relating to our investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates in accordance with our respective ownership percentages. We manage most of the properties owned by these joint ventures. Some of the joint ventures have elected to be taxed as REITs. Since we have joint interest and control of the Unconsolidated Properties with our venture partners, we account for these joint ventures using the equity method.
 
In certain circumstances, we are obligated (or can elect) to fund debt in excess of our pro rata share of the debt of our Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates. Such Retained Debt totaled $170.1 million as of December 31, 2006 and $302.7 million as of December 31, 2005, and has been reflected as a reduction in our investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates.
 
The significant accounting policies used by the Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates are the same as ours.
 
On April 6, 2006, we acquired our joint venture partner’s 49% interest in GGP Ivanhoe IV, Inc., which owns Eastridge Mall, for approximately $115 million, which was paid with a 5.95% fixed-rate note. This note was repaid, prior to its scheduled maturity of September 2006, in August 2006 in conjunction with the refinancing of the entire property, with a $170 million, 5.79% fixed-rate mortgage note due in 2011. As of April 6, 2006, GGP Ivanhoe IV, Inc. has been consolidated for accounting purposes.

The weighted-average annual interest rate (including the effects of swaps and excluding the effects of deferred finance costs) on our mortgage notes and other property debt payable was 5.70% at December 31, 2006 and 5.64% at December 31, 2005. Our mortgage notes and other debt payable have various maturities through 2095. The weighted-average remaining term of our mortgage notes and other property debt payable was 4.7 years as of December 31, 2006.
 
As of December 31, 2006, approximately $21.5 billion of land, buildings and equipment and developments in progress (before accumulated depreciation) have been pledged as collateral for our mortgage notes and other debt payable. Certain properties, including those within the portfolios collateralized by commercial mortgage-backed securities, are subject to financial performance covenants, primarily debt service coverage ratios.
 
Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities
 
In November 1997 (refinanced in November 2004), the Operating Partnership and GGP Ivanhoe I completed the placement of fixed-rate non-recourse commercial mortgage backed securities (the “CMBS 13”). The commercial mortgage-backed securities have cross-default provisions and are cross-collateralized. Under certain cross-default provisions, a default under any mortgage note included in a cross-defaulted package may constitute a default under all such mortgage notes in the package and may lead to acceleration of the indebtedness due on each property within the collateral package. In general, the cross-defaulted properties are under common ownership; however, $138.6 million of unconsolidated debt at two Unconsolidated Properties is cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized by $868.8 million of consolidated debt at eleven Consolidated Properties. As of December 31, 2006, the weighted-average interest rate on the CMBS 13 was 5.40% (range of 4.20% to 6.71%).
 
In December 2001, the Operating Partnership and certain Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates completed the placement of non-recourse commercial mortgage pass-through certificates (the “GGP MPTC”). The principal amount of the GGP MPTC was attributed to the Operating Partnership, GGP/Homart I, GGP/Homart II, GGP Ivanhoe III and GGP Ivanhoe IV. The GGP MPTC was repaid in the third quarter of 2006.

Other Collateralized Mortgage Notes and Other Property Debt Payable
 
Collateralized mortgage notes and other property debt payable consist primarily of non-recourse notes collateralized by individual properties and equipment. Substantially all of the mortgage notes are non-recourse to us. Certain mortgage notes payable may be prepaid but are generally subject to a prepayment penalty equal to a yield-maintenance premium or a percentage of the loan balance.
 
The fixed-rate collateralized mortgage notes and other debt payable bear interest ranging from 3.17% to 11.53%. The variable-rate collateralized mortgage notes and other debt payable bear interest at LIBOR (5.35% at December 31, 2006) plus 125 to 190 basis points.
 
Corporate and Other Unsecured Term Loans
 
On February 24, 2006, we amended the 2004 Credit Facility, which was entered into to fund the TRC Merger, and entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2006 Credit Facility”). The 2006 Credit Facility provides for a $2.85 billion term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $650 million revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2006, $590 million is available to be drawn on the revolving credit facility.
 
The 2006 Credit Facility has a four year term, with a one year extension option. The interest rate ranges from LIBOR plus 1.15% to LIBOR plus 1.5%, depending on our leverage ratio and assuming we maintain our election to have these loans designated as Eurodollar loans. The interest rate, as of December 31, 2006, was LIBOR plus 1.25%. Quarterly principal payments on the Term Loan of $12.5 million begin March 31, 2007, with the balance due at maturity.
 
Under the terms of the 2006 Credit Facility, we are subject to customary affirmative and negative covenants. If a default occurs, the lenders will have the option of declaring all outstanding amounts immediately due and payable. Events of default include a failure to maintain our REIT status under the Internal Revenue Code, a failure to remain listed on the New York Stock Exchange and such customary events as nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, breach of representations and warranties, breach of covenant, cross-default to other indebtedness and certain bankruptcy events.
 
Concurrently with the 2006 Credit Facility transaction, we also entered into a $1.4 billion term loan (the “Short Term Loan”) and TRCLP entered into a $500 million term loan (the “Bridge Loan”). The Short Term Loan was repaid in August 2006 as part of various refinancing transactions including the GGP MPTC. The Bridge Loan was fully repaid in May 2006 with a portion of the proceeds obtained from the sale of $800 million of senior unsecured notes which were issued by TRCLP. These notes provide for semi-annual, interest-only payments at a rate of 6.75% and payment of the principal in full on May 1, 2013.
 
Also concurrently with the 2006 Credit Facility transaction, GGP Capital Trust  I, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of GGPLP, completed a private placement of $200 million of trust preferred securities (“TRUPS”). The Trust also issued $6.2 million of Common Securities to GGPLP. The Trust used the proceeds from the sale of the TRUPS and Common Securities to purchase $206.2 million of floating rate Junior Subordinated Notes of GGPLP due 2036. The TRUPS require distributions equal to LIBOR plus 1.45%. Distributions are cumulative and accrue from the date of original issuance. The TRUPS mature on April 30, 2036, but may be redeemed beginning on April 30, 2011 if the Trust exercises its right to redeem a like amount of the Junior Subordinated Notes. The Junior Subordinated Notes bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.45%. Though the Trust is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GGPLP, we are not the primary beneficiary of the Trust and, accordingly, it is not consolidated for accounting purposes under FASB Interpretation No. 46 (as revised), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities — An Interpretation of ARB No. 51” (“FIN 46R”). As a result, we have recorded the Junior Subordinated Notes as Mortgage Notes and Other Property Debt Payable and our common equity interest in the Trust as Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

 
Unsecured Term Loans
 
In conjunction with the TRC Merger, we assumed certain publicly-traded unsecured debt which included 8.78% and 8.44% Notes due 2007, 3.625% Notes and 8% Notes due 2009, 7.2% Notes due 2012 and 5.375% Notes due 2013. Such debt totaled $1.5 billion at both December 31, 2006 and 2005. Under the terms of the Indenture dated as of February 24, 1995, as long as these notes are outstanding, TRCLP is required to file with the SEC the annual and quarterly reports and other documents which TRCLP would be required to file as if it was subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, regardless of whether TRCLP was subject to such requirements. TRCLP is no longer required to file reports or other documents with the SEC under Section 13(a) or 15(d). Accordingly, in lieu of such filing, certain financial and other information related to TRCLP has been included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We believe that such TRCLP information is responsive to the terms of the Indenture and that any additional information needed or actions required can be supplied or addressed.
 
In conjunction with our acquisition of JP Realty in 2002, we assumed $100 million of ten-year senior unsecured notes which bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.29% and were issued in March 1998. The notes require semi-annual interest payments. Annual principal payments of $25 million began in March 2005 and continue until the loan is fully repaid in March 2008.
 
Interest Rate Swaps
 
To achieve a more desirable balance between fixed and variable-rate debt, we have also entered into certain swap agreements as follows:
 
                 
    2006 Credit
    Property
 
    Agreement     Specific  
 
Total notional amount (in millions)
  $ 625.0     $ 195.0  
Average fixed pay rate
    4.11 %     4.78 %
Average variable receive rate
    LIBOR       LIBOR  
 
Such swap agreements have been designated as cash flow hedges and are intended to hedge our exposure to future interest payments on the related variable-rate debt.
 
Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds
 
We had outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds of approximately $220 million as of December 31, 2006. These letters of credit and bonds were issued primarily in connection with insurance requirements, special real estate assessments and construction obligations.
 
Note 7   Income Taxes
 
We elected to be taxed as a REIT under sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code, commencing with our taxable year beginning January 1, 1993. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including requirements to distribute at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income and to distribute to stockholders or pay tax on 100% of capital gains and to meet certain asset and income tests. It is management’s current intention to adhere to these requirements.
 
As a REIT, we will generally not be subject to corporate level Federal income tax on taxable income we distribute currently to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to Federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income or property, and to Federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income. In addition, we are subject to rules which may impose corporate income tax on certain built-in gains recognized upon the disposition of assets owned by our subsidiaries where such subsidiaries (or other predecessors)


F-34

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

had formerly been C corporations. These rules apply only where the disposition occurs within certain specified recognition periods. Specifically, in the case of the TRC assets, we may be subject to tax on built-in gain recognized upon the disposition prior to January 1, 2008 of assets owned by TRC on January 1, 1998, the effective date of TRC’s REIT election. At December 31, 2006, the total amount of built-in gains with respect to our assets is substantial. However, to the extent that any such properties are to be sold, we intend to utilize tax strategies such as dispositions through like-kind exchanges and the use of net operating loss carryforwards to limit or offset the amount of such gains and therefore the amount of tax paid.
 
We also have subsidiaries which we have elected to be treated as taxable real estate investment trust subsidiaries (a “TRS” or “TRS entities”) and which are, therefore, subject to federal and state income taxes. Our primary TRS entities include GGMI, entities which own our master planned community properties and other TRS entities acquired in the TRC Merger. Current Federal income taxes of certain of these TRS entities are likely to increase in future years as we exhaust the net loss carryforwards of these entities and as certain master planned community developments are completed. Such increases could be significant.
 
The provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:
 
                         
    2006     2005     2004

Total

Income tax expense computed by applying the Federal corporate tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 is reconciled to the provision for income taxes as follows:
 
                         
    2006     2005     2004  
    (In thousands)  
 
Tax at statutory rate on earnings from continuing operations before income taxes

Tax at statutory rate on earnings (losses) not subject to Federal income taxes and other permanent differences
    37,762       15,337       (85,103 )
                         
Income tax expense
  $ 98,984     $ 51,289     $ 2,383  
                         
 
Realization of a deferred tax benefit is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income in future periods. Our net operating loss carryforwards are currently scheduled to expire in subsequent years through 2026. Some of the net operating loss carryforward amounts are subject to annual limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. This annual limitation under Section 382 is subject to modification if a taxpayer recognizes what are called “built-in gain items.” For 2004, the benefit of the entire amount of the net operating loss was recorded and a reserve was established to reflect the limitations caused by Section 382. For 2005, the presentation has changed, but the net amount has remained the same. For 2005, the benefit amount has been reduced to reflect the sum of the annual Section 382 limitations, with no adjustment for the potential of built-in gain items. The valuation amount has likewise been reduced, thereby maintaining the same net deferred tax benefit amount for the net operating loss carryforwards. For 2006, there has been no change from 2005 in the presentation of the net tax benefit.

As part of the TRC merger, we acquired a controlling interest in an entity whose assets included a deferred tax asset of approximately $141 million related to $405.5 million of temporary differences (primarily interest deduction carryforwards with no expiration date).
 
Due to the uncertainty of the realization of certain tax carryforwards, we established valuation allowances. The majority of the valuation allowances related to net operating loss carryforwards where there was uncertainty regarding their realizability.
 
The tax effects of temporary differences and carryforwards included in the net deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2006 and 2005 are summarized as follows:
 
                 
    2006     2005

Several of our subsidiaries and partnerships in which we have an interest are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Although we believe our tax returns are correct, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could be different than that which was reported on the returns. In the opinion of management, we have made adequate tax provisions for years subject to examination.
 
During the first quarter of 2007, we expect to complete an internal restructuring of certain of our operating properties that are currently owned by TRS entities. We currently estimate that the restructuring will reduce our deferred tax liability by approximately $300 million.
 
Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of dividends to stockholders, differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes due to differences for Federal income tax reporting purposes in, among other things, estimated useful lives, depreciable basis of properties and permanent and temporary differences on the inclusion or deductibility of elements of income and deductibility of expense for such purposes.

Minimum future rentals exclude amounts which are payable by certain tenants based upon a percentage of their gross sales or as reimbursement of operating expenses and amortization of above and below-market tenant leases.
 
Such operating leases are with a variety of tenants, the majority of which are national and regional retail chains and local retailers, and consequently, our credit risk is concentrated in the retail industry.
 
Note 9   Transactions With Affiliates
 
Management fees primarily represent management and leasing fees, financing fees and fees for other ancillary services performed for the benefit of certain of the Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates and for properties owned by third parties. Fees charged to the Unconsolidated Properties totaled approximately $110.9 million in 2006, $87.5 million in 2005 and $61.8 million in 2004. Such fees are recognized as revenue when earned.
 
Note 10   Stock-Based Compensation Plans and Other Stock-Based Activity
 
Incentive Stock Plans
 
We grant qualified and non-qualified stock options and make restricted stock grants to attract and retain officers and key employees through the 2003 Incentive Stock Plan and, prior to April 2003, the 1993 Stock Incentive Plan. Stock options are granted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of the grant. The terms of the options are fixed by the Compensation Committee. Stock options granted to officers and key employees under the 2003 Incentive Stock Plan are for 5-year terms and under the 1993 Incentive Stock Plan are for 10-year terms. Stock options generally vest 20% at the time of the grant and in 20% annual increments thereafter. Prior to May 2006, we granted options to non-employee directors that were exercisable in full commencing on the date of grant and scheduled to expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of the grant. Beginning in May 2006, non-employee directors received restricted stock

The intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable stock options as of December 31, 2006 represents the excess of our closing stock price ($52.23) over the exercise price multiplied by the applicable number of stock options. The intrinsic value of exercised stock options represents the excess of our stock price at the time the option was exercised over the exercise price and was $13.9 million for options exercised during 2006, $10.9 million for options exercised during 2005, and $7.4 million for options exercised during 2004.
 
The weighted-average fair value of stock options as of the grant date was $7.61 for stock options granted during 2006, $4.82 for stock options granted during 2005, and $2.97 for stock options granted during 2004.

Restricted Stock
 
We also make restricted stock grants to certain officers and, beginning in May 2006, to non-employee directors, pursuant to the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan. The vesting terms of these grants are specific to the individual grant. Generally, the shares vest either one-third immediately with the remainder vesting equally on the first and second anniversaries or equally on the first, second and third anniversaries.
 
The following table summarizes restricted stock activity as of and for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004.

The total fair value of restricted stock grants which vested during 2006 was $2.0 million, during 2005 was $5.1 million and during 2004 was $3.7 million.
 
Threshold-Vesting Stock Options
 
Under the 1998 Incentive Stock Plan (the “1998 Incentive Plan”), we may also grant stock incentive awards to employees in the form of threshold-vesting stock options (“TSOs”). The exercise price of the TSO is the Fair Market Value (“FMV”) of our common stock on the date the TSO is granted. In order for the TSOs to vest, our common stock must achieve and sustain the Threshold Price for at least 20 consecutive trading days at any time over the five years following the date of grant. The Threshold Price is determined by multiplying the FMV on the date of grant by the Estimated Annual Growth Rate (currently 7%) and compounding the product over a five-year period. TSOs granted in 2004 and thereafter must be exercised within 30 days of the vesting date. TSOs granted prior to 2004, all of which have vested, have a term of up to 10 years. The 1998 Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of 11.0 million shares, subject to certain customary adjustments to prevent dilution.

Other Required Disclosures
 
The fair values of TSOs granted in 2006 and 2005 were estimated using the binomial method. The value of restricted stock grants is calculated as the average of the high and low stock prices on the date of the initial grant. The fair values of all other stock options were estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. These fair values are affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of our stock price as well as that of our peer group, implied volatilities and various other factors. Historical data was used to estimate expected life and represents the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding. The weighted average estimated value of stock options and TSOs granted during 2006, 2005 and 2004 were based on the following assumptions:
 
                         
    2006     2005     2004  
 
Risk-free interest rate
    4.43 %     3.40 %     3.44 %
Dividend yield
    4.00       4.00       6.09  
Expected volatility
    22.94       21.61       20.10  
Expected life (in years)
    2.5 - 3.5       5.0       5.2  
 
Compensation expense related to the Incentive Stock Plans, TSOs and restricted stock was $14.0 million in 2006, $11.1 million in 2005 and $6.5 million in 2004.
 
As of December 31, 2006, total compensation expense related to nonvested options, TSOs and restricted stock grants which had not yet been recognized was $17.4 million. Of this total, $7.9 million is expected to be recognized in 2007, $6.5 million in 2008, $2.5 million in 2009, $0.4 million in 2010 and $0.1 million in 2011. These amounts may be impacted by future grants, changes in forfeiture estimates, actual forfeiture rates which differ from estimated forfeitures and/or timing of TSO vesting.
 
We have a $200 million per fiscal year common stock repurchase program which gives us the ability to acquire some or all of the shares of common stock to be issued upon the exercise of the TSOs.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
 
The General Growth Properties, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) was established to assist eligible employees in acquiring stock ownership interest in GGP. Under the ESPP, eligible employees make payroll deductions over a six-month purchase period. At the end of each six-month purchase period, the amounts withheld are used to purchase shares of our common stock at a purchase price equal to 85% of the lesser of the closing price of a share of a common stock on the first or last trading day of the purchase period. The ESPP is considered a compensatory plan pursuant to SFAS 123(R). A maximum of 1.5 million shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance under the ESPP. Since inception, an aggregate of approximately 1.4 million shares of our common stock have been sold under the ESPP, including 61,759 shares for the purchase period ending December 31, 2006 which were purchased at a price of $39.26 per share. Compensation expense related to the ESPP was $1.5 million in 2006, $2.0 million in 2005, and $1.3 million in 2004.
 
Defined Contribution Plan
 
We sponsor the General Growth 401(k) Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) which permits all eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation in accordance with the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Subject to certain limitations (including an annual limit imposed by the Internal Revenue Code), each participant is allowed to make before-tax contributions up to 50% of gross earnings, as defined. We add to a participant’s account through a matching contribution up to 5% of the participant’s annual earnings contributed to the 401(k) Plan. We match 100% of the first 4% of earnings contributed by each participant and 50% of the next 2% of earnings contributed by each participant. We recognized expense resulting from the matching contributions of $9.3 million in 2006, $7.5 million in 2005, and $5.3 million in 2004.
 
Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan
 
We have reserved up to 3.0 million shares of our common stock for issuance under the Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (“DRSP”). In general, the DRSP allows participants to purchase our common stock from dividends received or additional cash investments. The stock is purchased at current market price, but no fees or commissions are charged to the participant. We expect to continue to satisfy DRSP common stock purchases by issuing new shares of our common stock or by repurchasing currently outstanding common stock. As of December 31, 2006, an aggregate of 598,161 shares of our common stock have been issued under the DRSP.

Note 14   Commitments and Contingencies
 
In the normal course of business, from time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings relating to the ownership and operations of our properties. In management’s opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
 
We lease land or buildings at certain properties from third parties. The leases generally provide us with a right of first refusal in the event of a proposed sale of the property by the landlord. Rental payments are expensed as incurred and have, to the extent applicable, been straight-lined over the term of the lease. Rental expense, including participation rent and excluding amortization of above and below-market ground leases and straight-line rents, was $10.3 million in 2006, $10.5 million in 2005 and $3.6 million in 2004.
 
We periodically enter into contingent agreements for the acquisition of properties. Each acquisition is subject to satisfactory completion of due diligence and, in the case of property acquired under development, completion of the project. In conjunction with the acquisition of The Grand Canal Shoppes in 2004, we entered into an agreement (the “Phase II Agreement”) to acquire the multi-level retail space that is planned to be part of The Palazzo in Las Vegas, Nevada that will be connected to the existing Venetian and the Sands Expo and Convention Center facilities (the “Phase II Acquisition”) and The Grand Canal Shoppes. The Palazzo is currently under construction and is expected to be completed in early 2008. If completed as specified under the terms of the Phase II Agreement, we will purchase, payable upon grand opening, the Phase II Acquisition retail space at a price computed on a 6% capitalization rate on the projected net operating income of the Phase II retail space, as defined by the Phase II Agreement (“Phase II NOI”), up to $38 million and on a capitalization rate of 8% on Phase II NOI in excess of $38 million, all subject to a minimum purchase price of $250 million. Based on current construction plans, progress and estimated rents, we believe the actual purchase price will be approximately $600 million. The Phase II Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
 
The following table summarizes the contractual maturities of our long-term commitments. Both long-term debt and ground leases include the related purchase accounting fair value adjustments:

Contingent Stock Agreement
 
In conjunction with the TRC Merger, we assumed TRC’s obligations under a Contingent Stock Agreement (“CSA”). TRC entered into the CSA in 1996 when they acquired The Hughes Corporation (“Hughes”). This acquisition included various assets, including Summerlin (the “CSA Assets”), a project in our Master Planned Communities segment. We agreed that the TRC Merger would not have a prejudicial effect on the former Hughes owners or their successors (the “Beneficiaries”) with respect to their receipt of securities pursuant to the CSA. We further agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Beneficiaries against losses arising out of any breach by us of these covenants.
 
Under the CSA, we are required to issue shares of our common stock semi-annually (February and August) to the Beneficiaries. The number of shares to be issued is based on cash flows from the development and/or sale of the CSA Assets and our stock price. We account for the Beneficiaries’ share of earnings from the CSA Assets as an operating expense. We delivered 1.8 million shares of our common stock (including 1.7 million treasury shares) to the Beneficiaries in 2006 and 1.6 million (including 1.0 million treasury shares) in 2005.
 
We are also required to make a final distribution to the Beneficiaries in 2009. The amount of this distribution will be based on the appraised values of the CSA Assets and is expected to be significant. We will account for this distribution as additional investments in the related assets (that is, contingent consideration).
 
The issuance of shares pursuant to any of the semi-annual or final distributions could be dilutive to our existing stockholders if we issue new shares rather than treasury shares or shares purchased on the open market.
 
Hurricane Damages
 
In September 2005, two of our operating retail properties in Louisiana incurred hurricane and/or vandalism damage. Riverwalk Marketplace, which is located near the convention center in downtown New Orleans, partially reopened in November 2005. Though it is now fully opened, it is operating at levels below pre-hurricane levels as a result of reduced occupancy and tourist traffic. Oakwood Center, located in Gretna, Louisiana, is not expected to reopen until October 2007. We have comprehensive insurance coverage for both property damage and business interruption and, therefore, have recorded insurance recovery receivables for both of these coverages.
 
The net book value of the property damage at these properties is currently estimated to be approximately $37 million. However, we continue to assess the damage estimates and are having ongoing discussions with our insurance carriers regarding the scope of repair, cleaning, and replacement required. The actual net book value write-off could vary from this estimate. Changes to these estimates have been and will be recorded in the periods in which they are determined.
 
We believe it is probable that insurance proceeds will be sufficient to cover the cost of restoring the property damage and certain business interruption amounts; however, certain deductibles, limitations and exclusions are expected to apply with respect to both current and future matters. No determination has yet been made as to the total amount or timing of insurance payments. As of December 31, 2006, however, an aggregate of $32.5 million in insurance proceeds related to property damage and business interruption have been received. These proceeds have been applied against insurance recovery receivables. In addition, as certain disputes currently exist or may occur in the future with our insurance carriers, we have initiated litigation to preserve our rights concerning our claims. Finally, as of December 31, 2006, the majority of the remaining insurance recovery receivable represents the recovery of the net book value of fixed assets written off.
 
Note 15   Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”) which provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The standard’s objective is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. With certain limitations, early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact of this new statement on our financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the SEC staff issued SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 1N, “Financial Statements — Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 addresses how a registrant should quantify the effect of an error on the financial statements. The SEC staff concludes in SAB 108 that a dual approach should be used to compute the amount of a misstatement. Specifically, the amount should be computed using both the “rollover” (current year income statement perspective) and “iron curtain” (year-end balance sheet perspective) methods. The adoption had no impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R)” (“SFAS 158”) which requires employers to fully recognize the obligations associated with single-employer defined benefit pension, retiree healthcare and other postretirement plans in their financial statements. Specifically, SFAS 158 requires an employer to:
 
  (a)  Recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status
 
  (b)  Measure a plan’s assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year (with limited exceptions)
 
  (c)  Recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in the year in which the changes occur. Those changes will be reported in comprehensive income of a business entity.
 
The requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan and the disclosure requirements are effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. We have adopted SFAS 158 as of and for the year-ended December 31, 2006. Due to the immateriality of our defined benefit pension plans, the impact of the adoption of SFAS 158 was not significant to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 also requires expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. The standard applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), an interpretation of SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” to create a single model to address accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes, by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We will adopt FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007, as required. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 will be recorded in retained earnings and other accounts as applicable. We are evaluating the impact of FIN 48 but cannot estimate

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

the impact to the financial statements because of the need to continue to assess the sufficiency of our positions with respect to measurement and recognition, including but not limited to, transfer pricing.
 
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity,” (“SFAS 150”) which establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability. The effective date of SFAS 150 relating to measurement and classification provisions has been indefinitely postponed by the FASB. We did not enter into new financial instruments subsequent to May 2003 which would fall within the scope of this statement. Though we have certain limited life ventures that appear to meet the criteria for liability recognition, we do not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 150 statement, if required, will have a material impact on our financial statements.
 
Note 16   Segments
 
We have two business segments which offer different products and services. Our segments are managed separately because each requires different operating strategies or management expertise. We do not distinguish or group our consolidated operations on a geographic basis. Further, all material operations are within the United States and no customer or tenant comprises more than 10% of consolidated revenues. Our reportable segments are as follows:
 
•  Retail and Other — includes the operation, development and management of retail and other rental property, primarily shopping centers
 
•  Master Planned Communities — includes the development and sale of land, primarily in large-scale, long-term community development projects in and around Columbia, Maryland; Summerlin, Nevada; and Houston, Texas
 
The operating measure used to assess operating results for the business segments is Real Estate Property Net Operating Income (“NOI”) which represents the operating revenues of the properties less property operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization. Management believes that NOI provides useful information about a property’s operating performance.
 
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2, except that we account for unconsolidated real estate ventures using the proportionate share method rather than the equity method. Under the proportionate share method, our share of the revenues and expenses of the Unconsolidated Properties are combined with the revenues and expenses of the Consolidated Properties. Under the equity method, our share of the net revenues and expenses of the Unconsolidated Properties are reported as a single line item, “Equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates,” in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. This difference affects only the reported revenues and operating expenses of the segments and has no effect on our reported net earnings. In addition, other revenues include the NOI of discontinued operations and is reduced by the NOI attributable to our minority interest partners in consolidated joint ventures.

(e) When dividends are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not set apart for such payment) upon the Exchangeable Preferred Stock and any other Parity Dividend Stock, all dividends declared upon the Exchangeable Preferred Stock and any other Parity Dividend Stock shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared per share of Exchangeable Preferred Stock and such Parity Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on the Exchangeable Preferred Stock and such other Capital Stock (which shall not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods if such Parity Dividend Stock does not have a cumulative dividend) bear to each other. IV. Liquidation. (a) Each share of Exchangeable Preferred Stock shall be preferred over the shares of Junior Liquidation Stock, as to assets, so that, in the event of any Liquidation, the holders of Exchangeable Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders (whether from capital, surplus or earnings), before any distribution is made to the holders of shares of Junior Liquidation Stock upon such Liquidation, an amount in cash equal to the Liquidation Value multiplied by the number of outstanding shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the "Liquidation Payment"). If, upon any Liquidation, the assets (or proceeds thereof) distributable among the holders of Exchangeable Preferred Stock and any Parity Liquidation Stock are insufficient to pay the Liquidation Payment and the liquidating payments to be made with respect to such Parity Liquidation Stock in full, then such assets (or the proceeds thereof) shall be distributable among such holders ratably in accordance with the respective amounts which would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were payable in full. 6 (b) Written notice of any Liquidation, stating a payment date, the amount of the Liquidation Payment and the place where the amount distributable shall be payable, shall be given, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each holder of record of Exchangeable Preferred Stock. (c) For the purposes of this Section IV, neither any Merger nor any voluntary sale, lease, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of the property or assets of the Corporation shall be deemed to be a Liquidation, unless such voluntary sale, lease, conveyance, exchange or transfer shall be in connection with a plan of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. (d) After the payment in cash to the holders of Exchangeable Preferred Stock of the full amount of the Liquidation Payment with respect to all outstanding shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock, the holders of outstanding shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock shall have no right or claim, based solely on their ownership of shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock, to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation. V. Redemption. (a) The holder of any share of Exchangeable Preferred Stock may, at his or its option elect to have the Corporation redeem, on any Dividend Payment Date, all or any number of whole shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock held by such holder on such Dividend Payment Date, such election to be made by providing written notice of such election and the number of shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock elected to be redeemed to the Corporation (a "Redemption Notice") not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date; provided, however, that in no event may a Redemption Notice be given with respect to any share of Exchangeable Preferred Stock prior to the first anniversary of the Issue Date of such share. The Corporation shall, on the applicable Dividend Payment Date, redeem the shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock elected to be redeemed pursuant to such Redemption Notice and pay the holder of such shares the Redemption Price therefor, provided the Corporation has sufficient legally available funds for such purpose and otherwise is permitted to do so under the Certificate of Incorporation (provided that any failure to redeem any such shares due to the Corporation not having sufficient legally available funds for such purpose shall cause the Special Voting Right in Section VII to become exercisable). Prior to such Dividend Payment Date, as promptly as possible after the Redemption Price can be determined, the Corporation shall deliver to each holder of shares to be redeemed an accurate copy of the calculation of the Redemption Price. In the event that the Corporation is required to redeem any shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock and does not have sufficient funds legally available to redeem all of such shares or otherwise is not permitted to do so under the Certificate of Incorporation, it shall use all of the funds that it does have available and is permitted to use for such purpose, if any, to redeem such number of shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock as is possible with such funds, pro rata, among all holders of Exchangeable Preferred Stock which have previously provided the Corporation with a Redemption Notice and for which all or any portion of the shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock elected to be redeemed thereunder have not been redeemed. 7 (b) Upon any redemption of shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock, the shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock so redeemed shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock of the Corporation, unclassified as to series, and the number of shares of preferred stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue shall not be decreased by the redemption of such shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock; provided, however, that no shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock which are redeemed shall be reissued as Exchangeable Preferred Stock except pursuant to the Contingent Stock Agreement. VI. Exchange. (a) Except as provided below, the Corporation may, at its sole option, on any Dividend Payment Date, exchange shares of Common Stock for any shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock then outstanding, in whole or in part (each, an "Exchange"); provided, however, that, as a condition to any Exchange, the Corporation shall simultaneously with such Exchange pay the holder of each share of Exchangeable Preferred Stock being exchanged an amount equal to the amount of any and all accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not earned or declared) on such share of Exchangeable Preferred Stock to the date of such Exchange. (b) In connection with any Exchange, the number of shares of Common Stock to be exchanged for each share of Exchangeable Preferred Stock shall be a number equal to the Liquidation Value of such share of Exchangeable Preferred Stock on the Dividend Payment Date on which such Exchange is to be consummated (after giving effect to the payment of accrued and unpaid dividends pursuant to Section VI(a) above) divided by Current Share Value as of the last day of the Dividend Period immediately preceding the Dividend Payment Date on which such Exchange is to be consummated. (c) Not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for any Exchange, a notice of the time, date and place thereof shall be given to the holders of record of the shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock to be exchanged (an "Exchange Notice"), such Exchange Notice to specify the number of shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock to be exchanged and the date fixed for such Exchange. Upon giving any Exchange Notice, the Corporation shall be obligated to effect the Exchange described therein. (d) The Corporation may, prior to the Dividend Payment Date on which any shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock are to be exchanged, deposit the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and the amount of any dividends required to be paid pursuant to paragraph (a) above in an irrevocable trust with a bank or trust company located in New York, New York and having capital and surplus of not less than $500,000,000 (a "Trust"), for the benefit of the holders of the shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock to be exchanged. If notice of such Exchange shall have been duly mailed, and upon making such deposit, or, if no such deposit is made, then upon the applicable Dividend Payment Date (provided that the shares of Common Stock and dividends required to be delivered and paid in exchange therefor are made available by the Corporation on such date), the holders of the shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock to be exchanged on such Dividend Payment Date shall cease to be stockholders with respect to the shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock to be exchanged and, thereafter, such shares shall no longer be transferable on the books of the Corporation and such holders shall have no interest in or claim against the Corporation with respect to such shares other than the right to receive the 8 shares of Common Stock for which such shares are being exchanged and any dividends required to be paid thereon pursuant to paragraph (a) above upon surrender of the certificate or certificates for such shares. Any shares of Common Stock or funds deposited with a Trust in connection with any Exchange which are unclaimed at the end of two years from the date fixed for such Exchange shall be redelivered and repaid to the Corporation upon its request and, thereafter, the holders of shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock which are the subject of such Exchange shall look only to the Corporation for delivery of such shares of Common Stock and the payment of such dividends. The Board may cause the transfer books of the Corporation to be closed with respect to any shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock which are the subject of an Exchange Notice. (e) If less than all of the outstanding shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock are to be exchanged in connection with any Exchange, the shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock to be exchanged shall be determined pro rata (as nearly as possible) among all holders of Exchangeable Preferred Stock, according to the respective number of shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock held by each such holder (and for such purpose, if any holder holds shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock evidenced by more than one certificate, such Exchange shall also be allocated on such basis among such certificates as such holder shall request on a timely basis). (f) Upon any exchange of shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section VI, the shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock so exchanged shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock of the Corporation, unclassified as to series, and the number of shares of preferred stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue shall not be decreased by the exchange of such shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock; provided, however, that no shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock which are exchanged shall be reissued as Exchangeable Preferred Stock except pursuant to the Contingent Stock Agreement. VII. Voting. (a) The holders of shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights whatsoever, except for any voting rights to which such holders may be entitled under the laws of the State of Delaware and except that the holders of the outstanding shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock shall have the exclusive right (the "Special Voting Right"), voting separately as a class, to elect one of the members of the Board if and whenever at any time or times (i) dividends (whether or not earned or declared) payable on Exchangeable Preferred Stock for one or more Dividend Periods shall be in arrears and unpaid or (ii) the Corporation shall fail to effect any redemption required to be made pursuant to Section V hereof or any Exchange required to be made pursuant to Section VI hereof. If the Special Voting Right shall vest as provided in the preceding sentence, it shall continue until such time as (A) all cumulative dividends accumulated on all shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock (whether or not earned or declared) shall have been paid in full, (B) all redemptions required to be made pursuant to Section V hereof shall have been made and (C) all Exchanges required to be made pursuant to Section VI hereof have been made, at which time the Special Voting Right shall terminate, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent occurrence of one or more of the events described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence. 9 (b) Upon the vesting of the Special Voting Right, the authorized number of directors constituting the Board shall, without further action, be increased by one and the vacancy so created shall be filled only by vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock. Whenever the Special Voting Right shall have vested, such Right may be exercised initially either at a special meeting of the holders of Exchangeable Preferred Stock, called as hereinafter provided, or at any annual meeting of stockholders, or by the written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock. Each director elected by the holders of the Exchangeable Preferred Stock upon exercise of the Special Voting Right shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified; provided, however, that the term of office of any incumbent director so elected shall terminate concurrently with the termination of the Special Voting Right and upon such termination the number of directors constituting the Board shall, without further action, be reduced by one, subject always to increase as provided above upon revesting of the Special Voting Right. (c) At any time when the Special Voting Right shall have vested and if such Right shall not already have been initially exercised, a proper officer of the Corporation shall, upon the written request of the holders of record of at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock, addressed to the Secretary of the Corporation, call a special meeting of the holders of Exchangeable Preferred Stock and of any other class or classes of stock having voting power with respect thereto for the purpose of electing directors. Such meeting shall be held at the earliest practicable date upon the notice required for annual meetings of stockholders at the place for holding annual meetings of stockholders of the Corporation or, if none, at a place reasonably designated by the Secretary of the Corporation. If such meeting shall not be called by the proper officers of the Corporation within 20 days after the date of any request made as aforesaid, then the holders of record of at least 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock which would be entitled to vote at such meeting may designate in writing one of their number to call such meeting at the expense of the Corporation, and such meeting may be called by such Person so designated upon the notice required for annual meetings of stockholders and shall be held at the place for holding annual meetings of stockholders of the Corporation or, if none, at a place reasonably designated by such Person. Any holder of Exchangeable Preferred Stock which would be entitled to vote at such meeting shall have access to the stock books of the Corporation for the purpose of causing a meeting of stockholders to be called pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (c). (d) At any meeting held for the purpose of electing directors at which the holders of Exchangeable Preferred Stock are entitled to exercise the Special Voting Right, the presence (in person or by proxy) of the holders of 33 1/3% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock shall be required and shall be sufficient to constitute a quorum of such class for the exercise of the Special Voting Right. At any such meeting or adjournment thereof, (i) the absence of a quorum of holders of Exchangeable Preferred Stock shall not prevent the election of directors other than the director to be elected by such holders and the absence of a quorum or quorums of the holders of capital stock entitled to elect such other directors shall not prevent the election of the director to be elected by the holders of Exchangeable Preferred Stock pursuant to the exercise of the Special Voting Right and (ii) in the absence of a quorum of the holders of any class of stock entitled to vote for the election of directors, a majority of the holders present (in person or by proxy) of such class shall have the power to adjourn the meeting for the election of directors which the holders of such class are entitled to elect, from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present. 10 (e) In exercising the Special Voting Right, each share of Exchangeable Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote. (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, at any time, the Special Voting Right is then exercisable on account of a dividend arrearage and other holders of Preferred Stock have the then exercisable right to elect one or more directors on account of a dividend arrearage, then (i) any director previously elected solely by the holders of Exchangeable Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have resigned, (ii) the holders of the Exchangeable Preferred Stock and such other holders will vote together for the election of such one or more directors, (iii) each share entitled to vote will have the number of votes equal to the base liquidation preference thereof divided by $25, (iv) each director will be elected by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast and (v) the holders of Exchangeable Preferred Stock shall not have the independent right to elect a director. VIII. Ranking. All shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock shall rank: (a) senior, both as to payments of dividends and as to distributions of assets upon any Liquidation, to all shares of Junior Stock, whether presently outstanding or issued after the date hereof; (b) senior, as to payments of dividends, to all shares of Junior Dividend Stock, whether presently outstanding or issued after the date hereof; (c) senior, as to distributions of assets upon any Liquidation, to all shares of Junior Liquidation Stock, whether presently outstanding or issued after the date hereof; (d) on a parity, as to payments of dividends and as to distributions of assets upon any Liquidation, with all shares of Parity Stock, whether presently outstanding or issued after the date hereof; (e) on a parity, as to payments of dividends, with all shares of Parity Dividend Stock, whether presently outstanding or issued after the date hereof; (f) on a parity, as to distributions of assets upon any Liquidation, with all shares of Parity Liquidation Stock, whether presently outstanding or issued after the date hereof; and (g) junior, as to payments of dividends and as to distributions of assets upon any Liquidation, to all shares of Prior Stock, issued after the date hereof in accordance with the terms hereof. As of the date hereof, (i) no shares of Prior Stock are authorized or outstanding, (ii) no shares of Parity Dividend Stock or Parity Liquidation Stock are authorized or outstanding except for Series C Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock and Series H Preferred Stock and (iii) no 11 shares of Junior Dividend Stock or Junior Liquidation Stock are authorized or outstanding except for shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock. IX. Non-Assessability. The shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock when issued, shall be fully-paid and nonassessable. X. Preemptive Rights. The Exchangeable Preferred Stock is not entitled to any preemptive rights or subscription rights in respect of any Capital Stock. XI. Registration Books, etc. The Corporation will keep, or cause to be kept, at its principal office (or at the office of its agent for such purpose) proper books in which the names and addresses of the holders of shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation shall be registered and in which transfers of such shares may be registered. The Corporation may treat the registered holder of any shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all dividends and redemption payments thereon and for all other purposes, and the Corporation shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. XII. Certain Restrictions. (a) So long as any shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation will not, either directly or indirectly or through a Merger, without either (1) the written consent of the Representatives or (2) the affirmative vote (at a meeting) or the written consent (with or without a meeting) of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock at the time outstanding: (i) issue (or approve the issuance of) any shares of Prior Stock or increase the authorized number of shares of Prior Stock; (ii) amend, alter or repeal any of the provisions of this Certificate, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Corporation's bylaws, so as to affect adversely the preferences, special rights or powers of the Exchangeable Preferred Stock; (iii) issue (or approve the issuance of) any shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock except pursuant to the Contingent Stock Agreement; (iv) redeem, retire, purchase or otherwise acquire, or permit any of the Corporation's Affiliates to redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire, any shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock except as provided in Sections V and VI hereof; (v) approve or consummate any Merger which would affect adversely the preferences, special rights or powers of the Exchangeable Preferred Stock; or 12 (vi) approve any Exchange of less than all the Exchangeable Preferred Stock at the time outstanding unless the full accrued dividends (whether or not earned or declared) for all prior and then current Dividend Periods shall either (A) have been paid or (B) declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for such payment; (b) So long as any shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation will not, either directly or indirectly or through a Merger, without the affirmative vote (at a meeting) or the written consent (with or without a meeting) of at least 66 2/3% of the shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock at the time outstanding take any action which would amend the provisions hereof relating to dividends on, or redemptions or exchanges of, the Exchangeable Preferred Stock so as to adversely affect the holders of the Exchangeable Preferred Stock. (c) So long as the Corporation shall be obligated (contingently or otherwise) to issue shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock pursuant to the Contingent Stock Agreement, the Corporation will not, either directly or indirectly or through a Merger, at any time when no shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock are outstanding, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, take (or cause to be taken) any of the actions described in clauses (i) and (vi) of paragraph (a) above or in paragraph (b) above. (d) So long as the Corporation shall be in default of any obligation to make any redemption pursuant to Section V hereof or any obligation to make any Exchange pursuant to Section VI hereof, the Corporation shall not directly or indirectly purchase, redeem or discharge any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or any other similar obligation in respect of any shares of any class or series of Junior Stock, Parity Dividend Stock or Parity Liquidation Stock. XIII. No Consent for Certain Actions. Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained herein, no consent of the holders of Exchangeable Preferred Stock or the Representatives shall be required for (a) the creation of any indebtedness of any kind of the Corporation, (b) the creation of any class of Junior Stock or Parity Stock, (c) any increase or decrease in the amount of authorized or issued Junior Stock or Parity Stock or any increase, decrease or change in the par value thereof, (d) the occurrence of any Merger, entity conversion, share exchange, recapitalization of the Capital Stock or other business combination or reorganization so long as either (i) the Corporation is the surviving entity and the Exchangeable Preferred Stock remains outstanding with the terms thereof materially unchanged or (ii) if the Corporation is not the surviving entity in such transaction, interests in an entity having substantially the same rights and terms with respect to rights to dividends, voting, redemption and exchange as the Exchangeable Preferred Stock are exchanged or substituted for the Exchangeable Preferred Stock or (e) a Liquidation. XIV. Severability of Provisions. Whenever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision hereof is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or otherwise adversely affecting the remaining 13 provisions hereof. If a court of competent jurisdiction should determine that a provision hereof would be valid or enforceable if a period of time were extended or shortened or a particular percentage were increased or decreased, then such court may make such change as shall be necessary to render the provision in question effective and valid under applicable law. XV. Notices. Any notice required to be given hereunder shall be sufficient if in writing, sent by facsimile transmission or electronic telecommunications equipment (with confirmation of receipt), or by courier service (with proof of service), hand delivery or certified or registered mail (return receipt requested and first-class postage prepaid), and addressed (a) if to any record holder of shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock, to the address or facsimile number of such record holder as reflected in the transfer records for shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock maintained by the Corporation or any transfer agent, or (b) if to the Corporation, at its principal executive offices to the attention of its Secretary. Any notice given in accordance with this provision by the Corporation shall be deemed delivered as of the date of receipt or proof of service or delivery is confirmed or on the third Business Day after the date mailed.

(iii) Neither the Registrar nor the Co-Issuers shall be required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the date of selection, (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part or (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record date (including a Regular Record Date) and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

(v) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile. (vi) The Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to enter into a letter of representation with the Depositary in the form provided by the Co-Issuers and to act in accordance with such letter. Section 2.07. REPLACEMENT NOTES. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Co-Issuers and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Co-Issuers shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note. If required by the Trustee or the Co-Issuers, the Holder of such Note shall provide indemnity that is sufficient, in the judgment of the Trustee or the Co-Issuers, to protect the Co-Issuers, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer in connection with such replacement. If required by the Co-Issuers, such Holder shall reimburse the Co-Issuers for their reasonable expenses in connection with such replacement. Every replacement Note issued in accordance with this Section 2.07 shall be the valid obligation of the Co-Issuers, evidencing the same debt as the destroyed, lost or stolen Note, and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. Section 2.08. OUTSTANDING NOTES. (a) The Notes outstanding at any time shall be the entire principal amount of Notes represented by all of the Global Notes and Definitive Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those subject to reductions in beneficial interests effected by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.06 hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth 23 in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note shall not cease to be outstanding because the Co-Issuers or an Affiliate of the Co-Issuers holds the Note. (b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it shall cease to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced note is held by a bona fide purchaser. (c) If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it shall cease to be outstanding and interest on it shall cease to accrue. (d) If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or a maturity date, funds sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest. Section 2.09. TREASURY NOTES. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Co-Issuers, or by any Affiliate of the Co-Issuers, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Section 2.10. TEMPORARY NOTES. Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Co-Issuers may prepare and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Defimtive Notes but may have variations that the Co-Issuers consider appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Co-Issuers shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes or Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes, as applicable. After preparation of Definitive Notes, the Temporary Note will be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the Temporary Notes. Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. Section 2.11. CANCELLATION. The Co-Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation.

Upon sole direction of the Co-Issuers, the Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy cancelled Notes (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act or other applicable laws) unless by written order, signed by an Officer of the Co-Issuers, the Co-Issuers direct them to be returned to it. Certification of the destruction of all cancelled Notes shall be delivered to the Co-Issuers from time to time upon request. The Co-Issuers may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that they have paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. Section 2.12. PAYMENT OF INTEREST; DEFAULTED INTEREST.

The Co-Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Co-Issuers shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related Interest Payment Date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Co-Issuers (or, upon the written request of the Co-Issuers, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Co-Issuers) shall mail 24 or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related Interest Payment Date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

The Co-Issuers in issuing the Notes may use "CUSIP" and/or "ISIN" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" and/or "ISIN" numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Co-Issuers shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the "CUSIP" and/or "ISIN" numbers. Section 2.14. ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL NOTES. The Co-Issuers shall be entitled, subject to their compliance with Section 4.09 hereof, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture which shall have identical terms as the Initial Notes issued on the date hereof, other than with respect to the date of issuance and issue price.

SELECTION OF NOTES TO BE REDEEMED. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed among the Holders of the Notes in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or in accordance with any other method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Co-Issuers in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not an integral multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. Section 3.03. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. At least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to a redemption date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at such Holder's registered address appearing in the Security Register. The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state: (a) the redemption date; (b) the appropriate method for calculation of the redemption price, but need not include the redemption price itself; the actual redemption price shall be set forth in an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the redemption date; (c) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, if applicable, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued upon cancellation of the original Note; (d) the name and address of the Paying Agent; (e) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price; (f) that, unless the Co-Issuers default in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; (g) the applicable section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and (h) that no representation is made as to the correctness of the CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes. At the Co-Issuers' request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Co-Issuers' names and at their expense; provided, however, that the Co-Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days (or such shorter period allowed by the Trustee), prior to the redemption date, an Officer's Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice (in the name and at the expense of the Co-Issuers) and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in this Section 3.03. 26 Section 3.04. EFFECT OF NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

If the Co-Issuers comply with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption in accordance with Section 2.08(d) hereof, whether or note such Notes are presented for payment. If a Note is redeemed on or after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Co-Issuers to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. Section 3.06. NOTES REDEEMED IN PART. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Co-Issuers shall issue and, upon receipt of an authentication order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Co-Issuers a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

The actual redemption price, calculated as described above, shall be set forth in an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the redemption date. (b) Any prepayment pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof. Section 3.08. MANDATORY REDEMPTION.

(b) The Co-Issuers may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Co-Issuers of their obligation to maintain an office or agency for the Notes for such purposes.

"EVENT OF DEFAULT" wherever used herein with respect to the Notes, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body): (a) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Note when due; or (b) default in the payment of any interest upon any Note when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or (c) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Co-Issuers in this Indenture (other man a covenant or warranty a default which is specifically dealt with) and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Co-Issuers by the Trustee or to the Co-Issuers and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or (d) a default under any bond, debenture, note, mortgage, indenture or other evidence of indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company (or by any Subsidiary, the repayment of which the Company has guaranteed or for which the Company is directly responsible or liable as obligor or guarantor) having an aggregate principal amount outstanding of at least $10,000,000, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, which default shall have resulted in such indebtedness being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable, without such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled, within a period of 10 days after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Co-Issuers by the Trustee or to the Co-Issuers and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes a written notice specifying such default and requiring the Co-Issuers to cause such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or (e) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of either of the Co-Issuers in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (B) a decree or order adjudging either of the Co-Issuers as bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of either of the Co-Issuers under any applicable Federal or State law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of either of the Co-Issuers or of any substantial part of their property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of their affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or (f) the commencement by either of the Co-Issuers of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by them to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of either of the Co-Issuers in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against them, or the filing by them of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or State law, or the consent by them to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of either of the Co-Issuers or of any substantial part of their property, or the making by them of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by them in writing of their inability to pay their debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by either of the Co-Issuers in furtherance of any such action; or 33 (g) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Notes. Upon receipt by the Trustee of any Notice of Default pursuant to this Section 6.01 with respect to the Notes, a record date shall automatically and without any other action by any Person be set for the purpose of determining the Holders of outstanding Notes entitled to join in such Notice of Default, which record date shall be the close of business on the day the Trustee receives such Notice of Default. The Holders of outstanding Notes on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such Notice of Default, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such Notice of Default shall have become effective by virtue of Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Notes on such record date (or their duly appointed agents) having joined therein on or prior to the 90th day after such record date, such Notice of Default shall automatically and without any action by any Person be cancelled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder (or a duly appointed agent thereof) from giving, before or after the expiration of such 90-day period, a Notice of Default contrary to or different from, or, after the expiration of such period, identical to, a Notice of Default that has been cancelled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date in respect thereof shall be set pursuant to this paragraph. Section 6.02. ACCELERATION. If an Event of Default with respect to Notes at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount of all of the Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Co-Issuers (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable. At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Notes has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Co-Issuers and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: (a) the Co-Issuers have paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay: (i) all overdue interest on all Notes, (ii) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Notes which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Notes, (iii) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Notes, and (iv) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and (b) all Events of Default with respect to Notes, other than the non-payment of the principal of Notes which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.13. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. Upon receipt by the Trustee of any declaration of acceleration, or any rescission and annulment of any such declaration, pursuant to this Section 6.02, a record date shall automatically and without any other action by any Person be set for the purpose of determining the Holders of outstanding Notes entitled to join in such declaration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, which record date shall be the close of business on the 34 day the Trustee receives such declaration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be. The Holders of outstanding Notes on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such declaration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such declaration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Notes on such record date (or their duly appointed agents) having joined therein on or prior to the 90th day after such record date, such declaration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall automatically and without any action by any Person be cancelled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder (or a duly appointed agent thereof) from giving, before or after the expiration of such 90-day period, a declaration of acceleration, or a rescission and annulment of any such declaration, contrary to or different from, or, after the expiration of such period, identical to, a declaration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, that has been cancelled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date in respect thereof shall be set pursuant to this paragraph. Section 6.03. COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY TRUSTEE. The Co-Issuers covenant that if: (a) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Note when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or (b) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Note at the maturity thereof, the Co-Issuers will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and any premium and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Notes, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. If an Event of Default with respect to Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Notes by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. Section 6.04. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM. In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Co-Issuers (or any other obligor upon the Notes), their property or their creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the TIA in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors' or other similar committee. 35 Section 6.05. TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF NOTES. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered Section 6.06. APPLICATION OF MONEY COLLECTED. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium or interest, upon presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07; and SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and any premium and interest on the Notes in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for principal and any premium and interest, respectively. Section 6.07. LIMITATION ON SUITS. No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: (a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes; (b) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; (c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; (d) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes; it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders. Section 6.08. UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM AND INTEREST. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 4.01) interest on such Note on the Stated Maturity expressed in such Note (or, in the case of redemption, on the 36 redemption date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. Section 6.09. RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Co-Issuers, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. Section 6.10. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. Section 6.11. DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Notes to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. Section 6.12. CONTROL BY HOLDERS. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Notes of such series, provided that: (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and (b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. Upon receipt by the Trustee of any such direction with respect to Notes, a record date shall automatically and without any other action by any Person be set for determining the Holders of outstanding Notes entitled to join in such direction, which record date shall be the close of business on the day the Trustee receives such direction. The Holders of outstanding Notes on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such direction shall have become effective by virtue of Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Notes on such record date (or their duly appointed agents) having joined therein on or prior to the 90th day after such record date, such direction shall automatically and without any action by any Person be cancelled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent Holder (or a duly appointed agent thereof) from giving, before or after the expiration of such 90-day period, a direction contrary to or different from, or, after the expiration of such period, identical to, a direction that has been cancelled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date in respect thereof shall be set pursuant to this paragraph. 37 Section 6.13. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default: (a) in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Note, or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 9 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected. Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. Section 6.14. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the TIA; provided that neither this Section nor the TIA shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Co-Issuers. Section 6.15. WAIVER OF USURY, STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS. The Co-Issuers covenant (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that they will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Co-Issuers (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenant that they will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. ARTICLE 7. TRUSTEE Section 7.01. DUTIES OF TRUSTEE (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person's own affairs. (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: (1) the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to 38 determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: (1) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section; (2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.12 hereof. (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 7.01. (e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture at the request of any Holders, unless such Holder shall have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. (f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Co-Issuers. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. Section 7.02. RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE. Subject to TIA Section 315: (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any such document. (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer's Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer's Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. (c) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. (d) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Co-Issuers shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of each of the Co-Issuers. (e) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default or Event of Default is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee from the Co-Issuers or the Holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, and such notice references the specific Default or Event of Default, the Notes and this Indenture. 39 (f) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its power and duties hereunder. (g) The Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the Co-Issuers' covenants herein. (h) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder. Section 7.03. INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Co-Issuers or any Affiliate of the Co-Issuers with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue as Trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee shall also be subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof. Section 7.04. TRUSTEE'S DISCLAIMER. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Co-Issuers' use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Co-Issuers or upon the Co-Issuers' direction under any provision of this Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication. Section 7.05. NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders. Section 7.06. REPORTS BY TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS. Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with May 15, 2007, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA Section 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA Section 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA Section 313(c). A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders shall be mailed to the Co-Issuers and filed with the Commission and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA Section 313(d). The Co-Issuers shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange and any delisting thereof. Section 7.07. COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY. The Co-Issuers shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. The Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Co-Issuers shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its 40 services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee's agents and counsel. The Co-Issuers shall indemnify the Trustee (in its capacity as Trustee) or any predecessor Trustee (in its capacity as Trustee) against any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, fines, liabilities or expenses, including incidental and out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys fees (for purposes of this Article, "LOSSES") incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Co-Issuers (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Co-Issuers or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent such losses may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith. The Trustee shall notify the Co-Issuers promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Co-Issuers shall not relieve the Co-Issuers of their obligations under this Section 7.07, except to the extent the Co-Issuers have been prejudiced thereby. The Co-Issuers shall defend the claim, and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel if the Trustee has been reasonably advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Co-Issuers and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is advisable for the Trustee to engage separate counsel, and the Co-Issuers shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Co-Issuers need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Co-Issuers need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee's own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. The obligations of the Co-Issuers under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the resignation or removal of the Trustee and payment in full of the Notes through the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. To secure the Co-Issuers' payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e) or (f) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. Section 7.08. REPLACEMENT OF TRUSTEE. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee's acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. The Trustee may resign in writing at any time upon 30 days' prior notice to the Co-Issuers and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Co-Issuers. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Co-Issuers in writing. The Co-Issuers may remove the Trustee if: (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof; (b) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; (c) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 41 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Co-Issuers shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Co-Issuers. If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Co-Issuers, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Co-Issuers. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. Subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof, the retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided, however, that all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder shall have been paid. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Co-Issuers' obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. In the case of an appointment hereunder of a separate or successor Trustee with respect to the Notes, the Co-Issuers, any retiring Trustee and each successor or separate Trustee with respect to the Notes shall execute and deliver an Indenture supplemental hereto (1) which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of any retiring Trustee with respect to the Notes as to which any such retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in such retiring Trustee and (2) that shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustee co-trustees of the same trust and that each such separate, retiring or successor Trustee shall be Trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any such other Trustee. Section 7.09. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE BY MERGER, ETC. If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or banking association, the successor corporation or banking association without any further act shall, if such successor corporation or banking association is otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee. Section 7.10. ELIGIBILITY; DISQUALIFICATION. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a Person organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50.0 million (or a wholly-owned subsidiary of a bank or trust company, or of a bank holding company, the principal subsidiary of which is a bank or trust company having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50.0 million) as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 310(b). 42 Section 7.11. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST CO-ISSUERS. The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311 (b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311 (a) to the extent indicated therein. ARTICLE 8. LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE Section 8.01. OPTION TO EFFECT LEGAL DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE. The Co-Issuers may, at their option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth in this Article 8. Section 8.02. LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE. Upon the Co-Issuers' exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Co-Issuers shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "LEGAL DEFEASANCE"). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Co-Issuers shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Debt represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 8.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Co-Issuers, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Co-Issuers' obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Sections 4.01 and 4.02, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Co-Issuers' obligations in connection therewith and (d) this Article 8. If the Co-Issuers exercise under Section 8.01 the option applicable to this Section 8.02, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Co-Issuers may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03. Section 8.03. COVENANT DEFEASANCE. Upon the Co-Issuers' exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Co-Issuers shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10 and 5.01 hereof and the occurrence of any event specified in clause (c) (with respect to Sections 4.03, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10 and 5.01 hereof) or (d) of Section 6.01 shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, in each case with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, "COVENANT DEFEASANCE ") and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not "outstanding" for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed "outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Co-Issuers may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. 43 Section 8.04. CONDITIONS TO LEGAL OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE. The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 to the outstanding Notes. The Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance may be exercised only if: (a) the Co-Issuers irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust (the "DEFEASANCE TRUST"), for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable U.S. Government Securities, in an amount sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity or on the next redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company shall specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to such particular redemption date; (b) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Co-Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (ii) subsequent to the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; (c) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Co-Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; (d) no Event of Default under Section 6.01(e) or (f) shall have occurred at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the cash and/or non-callable U.S. Government Securities have been deposited in the defeasance trust; (e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Co-Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary is a party or by which the Co-Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary is bound; (f) the Co-Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders over other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding such other creditors; and (g) the Co-Issuers deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. Section 8.05. DEPOSITED CASH AND U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES TO BE HELD IN TRUST: OTHER MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. Subject to Section 8.06, all cash and non-callable U.S. Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 8.04 in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest but such cash and securities need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 44 The Co-Issuers shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable U.S. Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Co-Issuers from time to time upon the request of the Co-Issuers any cash or non-callable U.S. Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the certification delivered under Section 8.04(a)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. Section 8.06. REPAYMENT TO THE CO-ISSUERS. The Trustee shall promptly, and in any event, no later than five (5) Business Days, pay to the Company after request therefor, any excess money held with respect to the Notes at such time in excess of amounts required to pay any of the Co-Issuers' Obligations then owing with respect to the Notes. Any cash or non-callable U.S. Government Securities deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Co-Issuers, in trust for the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for one year after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Co-Issuers on their request or (if then held by the Co-Issuers) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder shall thereafter, as an unsecured creditor, look only to the Co-Issuers for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such cash and securities, and all liability of the Co-Issuers as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Co-Issuers cause to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such cash and securities remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such cash and securities then remaining shall be repaid to the Co-Issuers. Section 8.07. REINSTATEMENT. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any cash or non-callable U.S. Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Co-Issuers' obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such cash and securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Co-Issuers make any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders to receive such payment from the cash and securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. ARTICLE 9. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER Section 9.01. WITHOUT CONSENT OF HOLDERS OF NOTES. Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Co-Issuers and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes without the consent of any Holder to: (a) cure any ambiguity, manifest error, omission, defect or inconsistency; 45 (b) provide for the assumption by a surviving Person of the obligations of the Co-Issuers under this Indenture; (c) provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes {provided that the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated Notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code); (d) add guarantees with respect to the Notes; (e) secure the Notes; or (f) add to the covenants of the Co-Issuers for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Co-Issuers. Section 9.02. WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS OF NOTES. Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Co-Issuers and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture and the Notes with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, including Additional Notes, if any, then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of or tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.08 and 6.13, any existing Default or Event of Default (except a continuing Default or Event of Default in (i) the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes and (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision which under this Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected by such modification or amendment) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, including Additional Notes, if any, then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of or tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes). Without the consent of each Holder, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): (a) change the stated maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on the Notes; (b) reduce the amount of, or any premium or interest on, the Notes; (c) change the place or currency of payment of principal of, or any premium or interest on, the Notes; (d) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to the Notes; (e) reduce the percentage in principal amount of Notes, the consent of whose Holders is required for modification or amendment of this Indenture; (f) reduce the percentage in principal amount of Notes necessary for waiver of certain defaults; or (g) modify such provisions with respect to modification and waiver. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all Notes waive any past default under this Indenture, except a default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or in respect of a provision which under this Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder affected. 46 The Co-Issuers may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any supplemental indenture. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that unless such consent shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to the date which is 120 days after such record date, any such consent previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holder of each Note affected thereby to such Holder's address appearing in the Security Register a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Co-Issuers to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Section 9.03. REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENTS. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion thereof that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note or portion thereof if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the Trustee receives an Officer's Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented (and theretofore not revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver. Section 9.04. NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF NOTES. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Co-Issuers in exchange for all Notes may issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. Section 9.05. TRUSTEE TO SIGN AMENDMENTS, ETC. The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Co-Issuers may not sign an amendment or supplemental indenture until its board of directors (or committee serving a similar function) approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amended or supplemental indenture is the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Co-Issuers enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions and that such amended or supplemental indenture complies with the provisions hereof. ARTICLE 10. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 47 Section 10.01. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE. This Indenture shall upon the Co-Issuers' request cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of transfer or exchange of Notes herein expressly provided for), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Co-Issuers, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when: (a) either (1) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.07 and (ii) Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Co-Issuers and thereafter repaid to the Co-Issuers or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 2.04) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (2) all such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (A) have become due and payable, or (B) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or (C) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Co-Issuers, and the Co-Issuers, in the case of (A), (B) or (C) above, have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and any premium and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Notes which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or redemption date, as the case may be; (b) the Co-Issuers have paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Co-Issuers; and (c) the Co-Issuers have delivered to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Co-Issuers to the Trustee under Section 7.07, the obligations of the Trustee to any authenticating agent under Section 2.02(e) and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of Clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 10.02 and Section 2.04 shall survive. Section 10.02. APPLICATION OF TRUST MONEY. Subject to provisions of Section 2.04, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and any premium and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee.

EX-99.1 13 c12676exv99w1.txt FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF TRCLP EXHIBIT 99.1 THE ROUSE COMPANY LP, A SUBSIDIARY OF GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC. Under the terms of an Indenture dated as of February 24, 1995, The Rouse Company LP ("TRCLP") was required to file with the SEC the annual and quarterly reports and other documents which TRCLP would be required to file as if it was subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, regardless of whether TRCLP was subject to such requirements. TRCLP is no longer required to file reports or other documents with the SEC under Section 13(a) or 15(d). Accordingly, in lieu of such filing, certain financial and other information related to TRCLP has been included as this exhibit 99.1 to the General Growth Properties, Inc. ("GGP") Form 10-K. All references to numbered notes are to specific footnotes to the consolidated financial statements of TRCLP as included in this exhibit. The descriptions included in such notes are incorporated into the applicable response by reference. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with such consolidated financial statements and related notes. The terms "we," "us," and "our" in this exhibit may also be used to refer to TRCLP and its subsidiaries. TRCLP (a Delaware limited partnership) is the successor company to The Rouse Company ("TRC"), which was incorporated as a business corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland in 1956. TRC was acquired by GGP (the "Merger") on November 12, 2004. The Merger (Note 1) resulted in TRCLP being a subsidiary of GGP, headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. GGP is a self-administered and self-managed Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT"). GGP is a Delaware corporation and was organized in 1986. MANAGEMENT'S OVERVIEW AND SUMMARY We operate our business in two segments: the Retail and Other segment and the Master Planned Communities segment. Our primary business (our Retail and Other segment) is the ownership, management, leasing and development of rental properties, primarily shopping centers. We also develop and sell land for residential, commercial and other uses primarily in master planned communities (our Master Planned Communities segment). Management believes the most significant operating factor affecting incremental revenues and cash flow and real estate net operating income is increased rents (either base rental revenue or overage rents) earned from tenants at our properties. These rental revenue increases are primarily achieved by re-leasing existing space at higher current rents, increasing occupancy which results in more space generating rent and increasing tenant sales which results in increased overage rents. The expansion and renovation of a property also results in increased cash flows and net income as a result of increased customer traffic, trade area penetration and improved competitive position of the property. Our Retail and Other segment includes retail or mixed-use centers, and office buildings (the "Consolidated Retail Properties") and interests in retail or mixed-use properties, and office buildings through investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates (the "Unconsolidated Retail Properties"). For the purposes of this report, the Consolidated Retail Properties and the Unconsolidated Retail Properties are collectively referred to as our "Operating Property Portfolio." Our Master Planned Communities segment includes the development and sale of residential and commercial land, primarily in large-scale projects in and around Columbia, Maryland; Summerlin (Las Vegas), Nevada; and Houston, Texas. We develop and sell finished and undeveloped land in such communities to builders and other developers for residential, commercial and other uses. In addition, our Master Planned Communities segment includes our interest in The Woodlands, a master planned community in the Houston, Texas metropolitan area. This project is classified in our Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates. Reference is made to Notes 2 and 5 for a further discussion of our investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates. T-1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF TRCLP OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY REVENUES Tenant rents (which includes minimum rents, tenant recoveries, and overage rents) increased in 2006 primarily due to increased rents of approximately $12.2 million from The Shops at La Cantera which opened in September 2005. In addition, tenant rents increased at various properties primarily due to increased occupancy and rental rates as compared to 2005. Lease termination income increased approximately $2.9 million from 2005. Such amounts are normally negotiated based on amounts remaining to be collected on the terminated leases. As a result, lease termination income represents an acceleration, rather than an increase, in revenues collected on such leases. Management and other fees increased $4.1 million in 2006 primarily due to higher development fees. Land sales revenue increased by $39.3 million in 2006 primarily due to increased sales at our Summerlin operation. OPERATING EXPENSES Real estate taxes increased approximately $4.3 million in 2006 due to increased property taxes at certain properties, including The Shops at La Cantera. Property operating and marketing costs decreased and property management and other costs increased primarily as a result of lower allocations of costs to our operating properties in 2006. Additionally, property operating costs decreased due to lower legal and insurance costs in 2006. Real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance and other property operating expenses are generally recoverable from tenants, either specifically as allocated cost recovery charges or in the form of fixed or calculated occupancy charges, and, therefore, the changes in these expenses are generally consistent with the changes in tenant recovery revenues. The provision for doubtful accounts increased $11.0 million in 2006 which is primarily due to Oakwood Center, which was damaged in the third quarter of 2005 (Note 14). NET INCOME (LOSS) Interest expense increased as a result of higher interest rates and higher outstanding debt balances. The increase in the provision for income taxes is attributable to higher pre-tax book income subject to taxes at our TRS entities, especially at the properties included in our Master Planned Communities segment. The increase in the provision for income taxes is more significant than the increase in net operating income generated by this segment as certain expenses, including participation expense, are not deductible for tax purposes and the tax basis of properties sold is, generally, significantly lower than the cost of properties sold for financial reporting purposes. Equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates increased as a result of gains recognized related to property sales in 2006 by our unconsolidated joint ventures. CASH POSITION AT DECEMBER 31, 2006 TRCLP's cash and cash equivalents decreased $8.7 million to $64.6 million as of December 31, 2006 as compared to December 31, 2005. The cash position of TRCLP is largely determined at any point in time by the relative short-term needs for cash by TRCLP and GGP. Advances to GGP by TRCLP increased in 2006, which is primarily due to $800.0 million from the sale of bonds by TRCLP, the proceeds of which were distributed to GGP. TRCLP expects to remain current with respect to its debt obligations and be able to access additional funds as required from GGP.

T-3 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Partners of The Rouse Company LP Chicago, Illinois We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Rouse Company LP and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), partners' capital and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the period November 13, 2004 through December 31, 2004. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the period January 1, 2004 through November 12, 2004 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated April 17, 2006, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Rouse Company LP and subsidiaries at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the period November 13, 2004 through December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. T-10 The Rouse Company LP and Subsidiaries A Subsidiary of General Growth Properties, Inc. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION GENERAL The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Rouse Company LP (the successor to The Rouse Company), ("TRC"), our subsidiaries and ventures ("we," "TRCLP" or "us") in which we have a controlling interest. Through our subsidiaries and affiliates, we acquire, develop and manage operating properties located throughout the United States and develop and sell land for residential, commercial and other uses primarily in master planned communities. The operating properties consist of retail centers, office and industrial buildings and mixed-use and other properties. The retail centers are primarily regional shopping centers in suburban market areas, but also include specialty marketplaces in certain downtown areas and several community retail centers. The office and industrial properties are located primarily in the Baltimore-Washington and Las Vegas markets or are components of large-scale mixed-use properties (which include retail, parking and other uses) located in other urban markets. Land development and sales operations are predominantly related to large scale, long-term community development projects in and around Columbia, Maryland; Summerlin, Nevada; and Houston, Texas. In this report, we refer to our ownership interests in majority owned or controlled properties as "Consolidated Properties," to our ownership interests in joint ventures in which we own a non-controlling interest as "Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates" and the properties owned by such joint ventures as the "Unconsolidated Properties." Our "Company Portfolio" includes both our Consolidated Properties and our Unconsolidated Properties. MERGER WITH GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC. On August 19, 2004, TRC executed a definitive merger agreement, which was approved by TRC's Board of Directors, with General Growth Properties, Inc. ("GGP"). On November 9, 2004, TRC's shareholders approved the merger (the "Merger"). On November 12, 2004, the Merger was completed and TRC was merged with and into us. A subsidiary of GGP was then merged with and into us and through a series of transactions, we were converted to a limited partnership and a subsidiary of GGP. Typically, the effects of a merger transaction are reflected on the date of the transaction in the financial statements of the acquired company by adjusting its basis of assets and liabilities to their fair values in order to reflect the purchase price paid in the acquisition. However, there are certain exceptions (related to the presence of public debt that is qualitatively or quantitatively significant) to this requirement that would allow a company to elect to not apply this general practice. Accordingly, we had elected to not reflect these purchase accounting adjustments in our consolidated financial statements that were previously prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for 2004. However, in 2005, we reflected these purchase accounting adjustments in our consolidated financial statements, and the consolidated balance sheet for December 31, 2004 was adjusted. The adjustments are reflected in our consolidated financial statements in 2004 from the date of the Merger. Accordingly, operations for 2004 have been split between periods prior to, and subsequent to, the Merger. Operations subsequent to the Merger have been presented on a purchase price-adjusted basis (Note 3). As a result, a single underlying set of information can be used for both our and GGP's consolidated financial statements. NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TRCLP, our subsidiaries and joint ventures in which we have a controlling interest. For consolidated joint ventures, the non-controlling partner's share of operations (generally computed as the joint venture partner's ownership percentage) is included in Minority Interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. T-11 PROPERTIES Real estate assets acquired subsequent to the Merger date are stated at cost. For property owned by TRC at the Merger date, the carrying value of such assets was set at fair value by purchase accounting adjustments (Note 3). Construction and improvement costs incurred in connection with the development of new properties or the redevelopment of existing properties are capitalized to the extent the total carrying value of the property does not exceed the estimated fair value of the completed property. Real estate taxes and interest costs incurred during construction periods are capitalized. Capitalized interest costs are based on qualified expenditures and interest rates in place during the construction period. Capitalized real estate taxes and interest costs are amortized over lives which are consistent with the constructed assets. Pre-development costs, which generally include legal and professional fees and other third-party costs related directly to the acquisition of a property, are capitalized as part of the property being developed. In the event a development is no longer deemed to be probable, the costs previously capitalized are written off as a component of operating expenses. Tenant improvements, either paid directly or in the form of construction allowances paid to tenants, are capitalized and depreciated over the average lease term. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for significant betterments and improvements are capitalized. Our real estate assets, including developments in progress, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. A real estate asset is considered to be impaired when the estimated future undiscounted operating cash flow is less than its carrying value. To the extent an impairment has occurred, the excess of carrying value of the asset over its estimated fair value will be charged to operations. Depreciation or amortization expense is computed using the straight-line method based upon the following estimated useful lives:
YEARS ----- Buildings and improvements 40-45 Equipment, tenant improvements and fixtures 5-10
ACQUISITIONS OF OPERATING PROPERTIES Acquisitions of properties are accounted for utilizing the purchase method and, accordingly, the results of operations of acquired properties are included in our results of operations from the respective dates of acquisition. Estimates of future cash flows and other valuation techniques are used to allocate the purchase price of acquired property between land, buildings and improvements, equipment and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities such as amounts related to in-place at-market tenant leases, acquired above and below-market tenant and ground leases and tenant relationships. Initial valuations are subject to change until such information is finalized no later than 12 months from the acquisition date. The fair values of tangible assets are determined on an "if-vacant" basis. The "if-vacant" fair value is allocated to land, where applicable, buildings, tenant improvements and equipment based on comparable sales and other relevant information obtained in connection with the acquisition of the property. The estimated fair value of acquired in-place at-market tenant leases are the costs we would have incurred to lease the property to the occupancy level of the property at the date of acquisition. Such estimate includes the fair value of leasing commissions, legal costs and tenant coordination costs that would be incurred to lease the property to this occupancy level. Additionally, we evaluate the time period over which such occupancy level would be achieved and include an estimate of the net operating costs (primarily real estate taxes, insurance and utilities) incurred during the lease-up period, which generally ranges up to one year. Acquired in-place at-market tenant leases are amortized over the average lease term. Intangible assets and liabilities are also recorded for above-market and below-market in-place tenant and ground leases where we are either the lessor or the lessee. Above-market and below-market in-place tenant and ground lease values are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between the contractual amounts to be received or paid pursuant to the in-place T-12 leases and our estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the leases. Above and below-market lease values are amortized over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases (approximately five years for tenant leases and approximately 50 years for ground leases). Due to existing contacts and relationships with tenants at our currently owned properties and at properties currently managed for others, no significant value has been ascribed to the tenant relationships at the acquired properties. The excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired (including identified intangible assets) and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss for an asset group is allocated to the long-lived assets of the group on a pro-rata basis using the relative carrying amounts of those assets, unless the fair value of specific components of the reporting group are determinable without undue cost and effort. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE AFFILIATES We account for investments in joint ventures where we own a non-controlling joint interest using the equity method. Under the equity method, the cost of our investment is adjusted for our share of the equity in earnings of such Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates from the date of acquisition and reduced by distributions received. Generally, the operating agreements with respect to our Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates provide that assets, liabilities and funding obligations are shared in accordance with our ownership percentages. Therefore, we generally also share in the profit and losses, cash flows and other matters relating to our Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates in accordance with our respective ownership percentages. For those joint ventures where we own less than a 5% interest and have virtually no influence on the joint venture's operating and financial policies, we account for our investments using the cost method. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Highly-liquid investments with maturities at dates of purchase of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents. INVESTMENTS IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES Investments in marketable securities with maturities at dates of purchase in excess of three months are carried at amortized cost as it is our intention to hold these investments until maturity. Other investments in marketable equity securities subject to significant restrictions on sale or transfer are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value with unrealized changes in values recognized in other comprehensive income. RECEIVABLE FROM GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC. The amounts receivable from General Growth Properties, Inc. are non-interest bearing, unsecured, payable on demand, and have been reflected as a component of Partners' Capital. LEASES Leases which transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership to tenants are considered finance leases and the present values of the minimum lease payments and the estimated residual values of the leased properties, if any, are accounted for as receivables. Leases which transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership to us are considered capital leases and the present values of the minimum lease payments are accounted for as assets and liabilities. DEFERRED EXPENSES Deferred expenses consist principally of financing fees, leasing costs and commissions. Deferred financing fees are amortized to interest expense using the interest method (or other methods which approximate the interest method) over the terms of the respective agreements. Deferred leasing costs and commissions are amortized using the straight-line method over the average life of the tenant leases. Deferred expenses in our Consolidated Balance Sheets are shown at cost, net of accumulated amortization of $7.4 million as of December 31, 2006 and $2.1 million as of December 31, 2005. T-13 REVENUE RECOGNITION AND RELATED MATTERS Minimum rent revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Minimum rent revenues also include amounts collected from tenants to allow the termination of their leases prior to their scheduled termination dates and accretion related to above and below-market tenant leases on acquired properties. Straight-line rents receivable, which represent the current net cumulative rents recognized prior to when billed and collectible as provided by the terms of the leases, of approximately $39.7 million as of December 31, 2006 and $20.0 million as of December 31, 2005 are included in Accounts and notes receivable, net in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts against the portion of accounts receivable, including straight-line rents, which is estimated to be uncollectible. Such allowances are reviewed periodically based upon our recovery experience. We also evaluate the probability of collecting future rent which is recognized currently under a straight-line methodology. This analysis considers the long-term nature of our leases, as a certain portion of the straight-line rent currently recognizable will not be billed to the tenant until many years into the future. Our experience relative to unbilled deferred rent receivable is that a certain portion of the amounts straight-lined into revenue are never collected from (or billed to) the tenant due to early lease terminations. For that portion of the otherwise recognizable deferred rent that is not deemed to be probable of collection, no revenue is recognized. Accounts and notes receivable in our Consolidated Balance Sheets are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $38.3 million as of December 31, 2006 and $39.6 million as of December 31, 2005. Overage rents are recognized on an accrual basis once tenant sales exceed contractual tenant lease thresholds. Recoveries from tenants are established in the leases or computed based upon a formula related to real estate taxes, insurance and other shopping center operating expenses and are generally recognized as revenues in the period the related costs are incurred. Management and other fees primarily represent management and leasing fees, construction fees, financing fees and fees for other ancillary services performed for the benefit of the Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates and for properties owned by third parties. Such fees are recognized as revenue when earned. Revenues from land sales are recognized using the full accrual method provided that various criteria relating to the terms of the transactions and our subsequent involvement with the land sold are met. Revenues relating to transactions that do not meet the established criteria are deferred and recognized when the criteria are met or using the installment or cost recovery methods, as appropriate in the circumstances. For land sale transactions in which we are required to perform additional services and incur significant costs after title has passed, revenues and cost of sales are recognized on a percentage of completion basis. Cost ratios for land sales are determined as a specified percentage of land sales revenues recognized for each community development project. The cost ratios used are based on actual costs incurred and estimates of future development costs and sales revenues to completion of each project. The ratios are reviewed regularly and revised for changes in sales and cost estimates or development plans. Significant changes in these estimates or development plans, whether due to changes in market conditions or other factors, could result in changes to the cost ratio used for a specific project. The specific identification method is used to determine cost of sales for certain parcels of land, including acquired parcels we do not intend to develop or for which development is complete at the date of acquisition. INCOME TAXES (NOTE 7) Deferred income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. An increase or decrease in the deferred tax liability that results from a change in circumstances, and which causes a change in our judgment about expected future tax consequences of events, is included in the current tax provision. Deferred income taxes also reflect the impact of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is provided if we believe it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. An increase or decrease in the valuation allowance that results from a change in circumstances, and which causes a change in our judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset, is included in the current tax provision. T-14 In many of our Master Planned Communities, gains with respect to sales of land for commercial use, condominiums or apartments are reported for tax purposes on the percentage of completion method. Under the percentage of completion method, gain is recognized for tax purposes as costs are incurred in satisfaction of contractual obligations. In contrast, gains with respect to sales of land for single family residential residences are reported for tax purposes under the completed contract method. Under the completed contract method, gain is recognized for tax purposes when 95% of the costs of our contractual obligations are incurred. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS We use derivative financial instruments to reduce risk associated with movements in interest rates. We may choose or be required by lenders to reduce cash flow and earnings volatility associated with interest rate risk exposure on variable-rate borrowings and/or forecasted fixed-rate borrowings by entering into interest rate swaps or interest rate caps. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Under interest rate cap agreements, we make initial premium payments to the counterparties in exchange for the right to receive payments from them if interest rates exceed specified levels during the agreement period. Under interest rate swap agreements, we and the counterparties agree to exchange the difference between fixed-rate and variable-rate interest amounts calculated by reference to specified notional principal amounts during the agreement period. Notional principal amounts are used to express the volume of these transactions, but the cash requirements and amounts subject to credit risk are substantially less. Parties to interest rate exchange agreements are subject to market risk for changes in interest rates and risk of credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty. We do not require any collateral under these agreements, but deal only with highly-rated financial institution counterparties (which, in certain cases, are also the lenders on the related debt) and expect that all counterparties will meet their obligations. Substantially all of our interest rate swap and other derivative financial instruments qualify as cash flow hedges and hedge our exposure to forecasted interest payments on variable-rate LIBOR-based debt. Accordingly, the effective portion of the instruments' gains or losses is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings when the related forecasted transactions affect earnings. If we discontinue a cash flow hedge because it is no longer probable that the original forecasted transaction will occur or if a hedge is deemed no longer effective, the net gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is immediately reclassified into earnings. We have not recognized any losses as a result of hedge discontinuance and the expense that we recognized related to changes in the time value of interest rate cap agreements and ineffective hedges was insignificant for 2006, 2005 and 2004. Amounts receivable or payable under interest rate cap and swap agreements are accounted for as adjustments to interest expense on the related debt. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The fair values of our financial instruments approximate their carrying value in our financial statements except for debt. We estimated the fair value of our debt based on quoted market prices for publicly-traded debt and on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made for other debt. The discount rates used approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and credit quality, assume the debt is outstanding through maturity and consider the debt's collateral (if applicable). We have utilized market information as available or present value techniques to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed. Since such amounts are estimates, there can be no assurance that the disclosed value of any financial instrument could be realized by immediate settlement of the instrument. T-15 The carrying amount and estimated fair value of our debt are summarized as follows (in thousands):
2006 2005 ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ (IN THOUSANDS) CARRYING ESTIMATED FAIR CARRYING ESTIMATED FAIR AMOUNT VALUE AMOUNT VALUE ------ ----- ------ ----- Fixed-rate debt $ 7,011,545 $ 6,950,810 $ 6,186,915 $ 6,112,798 Variable-rate debt 288,287 289,692 316,158 317,094 ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ----------------- $ 7,299,832 $ 7,240,502 $ 6,503,073 $ 6,429,892 ================ ================ ================ =================
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION We applied the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations to account for stock-based employee compensation plans. Under this method, compensation cost was recognized for awards of shares of common stock or stock options to our officers and employees only if the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date (or other measurement date, if later) was greater than the amount the grantee must pay to acquire the stock. The following table summarizes the pro forma effects on net income (in thousands) and earnings per share of common stock for the period from January 1 to November 12, 2004 using an optional fair value-based method, rather than the intrinsic value-based method, to account for stock-based compensation awards made since 1995. Subsequent to the Merger, there were no outstanding shares of common stock, all outstanding stock options became fully vested, settled and expensed, and stock-based compensation plans were terminated as of the date of the Merger.

* All TRC options and common stock of employees were settled as of the Merger date EARNINGS PER SHARE ("EPS") Earnings per share amounts are not presented as there were no outstanding shares of common stock at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 due to the Merger. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. For example, significant estimates and assumptions have been made with respect to useful lives of assets, capitalization of development and leasing costs, provision for income taxes, recoverable amounts of receivables and deferred taxes, initial valuations and related amortization periods of deferred costs and intangibles, particularly with respect to acquisitions, and cost ratios and completion percentages used for land sales. Actual results could differ from these and other estimates. RECLASSIFICATIONS AND CORRECTIONS Certain amounts in the 2005 and 2004 Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. During 2006, we made various corrections to the purchase price allocation related to the Merger that was recorded in our 2005 Consolidated Financial Statements. Corrections related to the aggregate net deferred tax liabilities related to the Merger reduced deferred tax liabilities by approximately $58.7 million with a corresponding reduction to goodwill in the first quarter of 2006 and additional corrections identified in the fourth quarter increased deferred tax liabilities by $15.5 million, increased goodwill by $9.8 million, increased deferred tax assets by $2.1 million and decreased current taxes payable by $3.6 million. The net reductions to deferred tax liabilities of $43.2 million and goodwill of $48.9 million and the other corrections noted above, had no impact on earnings for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, or any period within such years. T-16 Additionally, we reclassified approximately $65 million of below-market ground leases, which were included in prepaid expenses and other assets in our December 31, 2005 Consolidated Balance Sheet, to owned land in 2006. This change and the corresponding revision of previously recorded amortization decreased other property operating costs by approximately $1.9 million and increased net income by approximately $1.5 million during 2006. We also corrected the amortization period used to amortize the tenant-related intangible assets and liabilities at one of our properties. This correction increased depreciation and amortization by approximately $2.4 million and decreased net income by approximately $2.0 million in 2006. None of the adjustments impacted our cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities in any period in 2006 or 2005. We believe that the effects of these changes are not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements. NOTE 3 PURCHASE ACCOUNTING DUE TO THE MERGER Under terms of the Merger, TRC shareholders received consideration of $67.50 per share reduced by the payment of any extraordinary dividends. We declared and paid an extraordinary dividend in November 2004 of $2.29474 per share. This reduced the merger consideration to $65.20526 per share. Effective with the Merger, each of our outstanding stock options and restricted stock grants became fully vested. Each option holder received a cash payment equal to the excess of the merger consideration over the exercise price per share of the stock option. Each holder of restricted stock received a cash payment equal to the per share merger consideration. These payments are not included in our results of operations on either the Pre-Merger or Post-Merger basis. At the time of the Merger, the common stock of TRC was canceled and retired. Additionally, all stock-based employee compensation plans (stock option plans and stock bonus plans) were terminated. As a result, our consolidated financial statements do not contain common stock related disclosures, such as earnings per share amounts or certain information regarding stock-based compensation, for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and for any periods in 2004. The Merger has been accounted for using the purchase method and, accordingly, our properties' results of operations subsequent to the Merger reflect a new basis of accounting from the date of acquisition. Therefore, our operating results for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 and for the period November 13, 2004 to December 31, 2004 reflect this new, Post-Merger, basis of our assets and liabilities. However, the results for the period January 1, 2004 to November 12, 2004 continue to reflect the prior TRC historical, Pre-Merger, carrying amounts. Estimates of future cash flows and other valuation techniques were used to allocate the purchase price to our properties between land, buildings and improvements, equipment and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities such as amounts related to in-place at-market leases, acquired above- and below-market leases and tenant relationships. T-17 In addition, the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for 2004 have been separated to present operations on a Pre-Merger basis (January 1 to November 12, 2004), and on a Post-Merger basis (November 13 to December 31, 2004). A reconciliation of the previously reported full year 2004 presentation to the current presentation of 2004 is as follows (computed as the total for 2004 less the period in 2004 prior to the Merger yielding unadjusted Post-Merger results; then applying purchase accounting and other adjustments to yield Post-Merger 2004 period operations reflecting purchase accounting, discontinued operations, and current year reclassifications):

* Purchase accounting adjustments represent differences in amounts reported on a Pre-Merger and Post-Merger basis resulting from the adjustment of assets and liabilities to fair value as of the Merger date. Examples of such adjustments include the difference in depreciation of assets at fair value versus historical cost and the difference in rent revenues related to a new lease revenue recognition period commencing on the Merger date. Other adjustments include reclassifications to conform presentation to that of GGP and adjust for certain charges previously reported that we believe should not be included in either the Pre-Merger or Post-Merger periods. Such adjustments include impairment charges resulting from changes in new management's plans or intentions with respect to the future operation of assets, loss contingencies due to new management's intentions with respect to the potential settlement of certain litigation matters, charges related to the acceleration of vesting of stock options, the effect of 2005 sales of properties on discontinued operations, and certain severance costs that are reflected in the fair values of the assets and liabilities on the Merger date rather than in operations. T-18 As discussed above, a portion of the aggregate purchase price relating to the Merger was allocated to intangible assets and liabilities. This allocation, the accumulated amortization since the Merger date and the net carrying value of each intangible asset and liability component is as follows (in thousands):

Changes in gross asset (liability) balances are the result of the ground lease reclassification, the distribution of Augusta Mall to GGP, and acquisition of the minority interest in two joint ventures. Amortization of these intangible assets and liabilities and similar assets and liabilities from our unconsolidated real estate affiliates, at our share, decreased income (excluding the impact of provision for income taxes) by $147.7 million in 2006, $164.4 million in 2005, and $16.9 million in the period November 13 to December 31, 2004. Future amortization, including our share of such amounts from unconsolidated real estate affiliates, is estimated to decrease income (excluding the impact of provision for income taxes) by approximately $140 million in 2007, $100 million in 2008, $50 million in 2009, $30 million in 2010 and $20 million in 2011. OTHER ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES In December 2006, we acquired our joint venture partners' minority interest in the Owings Mills 3 and 4 office properties for $6.0 million. We are an investor in a consolidated joint venture that is developing The Shops at La Cantera, a regional retail center in San Antonio, Texas. The project held its grand opening of its first phase on September 15, 2005. NOTE 4 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND GAINS (LOSSES) ON DISPOSITIONS OF INTERESTS IN OPERATING PROPERTIES We sell interests in retail centers that are not consistent with our long-term business strategies or not meeting our investment criteria and office and other properties that are not located in our master-planned communities or not part of urban mixed-use properties. We may also dispose of properties for other reasons. In December 2003, as part of an agreement to acquire interests in entities developing The Woodlands (see Note 5), we agreed to dispose of Hughes Center, a master planned business park in Las Vegas, Nevada, comprising eight office buildings totaling approximately 1.1 million square feet, nine ground leases and approximately 13 acres of developable land. The sales of two of the office buildings and two of the ground leases closed in December 2003 for cash of $29.0 million and the assumption by the buyer of $9.6 million of mortgage debt. We recorded aggregate T-19 gains on these sales of approximately $10.1 million. The remaining sale of the properties in Hughes Center closed in 2004 for cash of $71.3 million and the assumption by the buyer of $110.8 million of mortgage debt. We recorded aggregate gains on these sales of approximately $42.2 million (net of deferred income taxes of $2.7 million). In May 2004, we agreed to sell our interests in two office buildings in Hunt Valley, Maryland. We recorded aggregate impairment losses of $1.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2003 and $0.4 million in 2004 related to these properties. These properties were sold in October 2004 for net proceeds of $8.4 million. In March 2004, we sold our interests in Westdale Mall, a retail center in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for cash of $1.3 million and the assumption by the buyer of $20.0 million of mortgage debt. We recognized a gain of $0.8 million relating to this sale. We recorded an impairment loss of $6.5 million in 2003 related to this property. We also recorded in 2004 net gains of $2.0 million (net of deferred income taxes of $0.4 million) related to the resolutions of certain contingencies related to disposals of properties in 2002 and 2003. In 2000, we contributed our ownership interests in 37 buildings in two industrial parks to a joint venture in exchange for cash and a minority interest in the venture. We also guaranteed $44.0 million of indebtedness of the venture and, because of the nature of our continuing involvement in the venture, deferred a portion of the gains from the transaction. In June 2004, we redeemed our interest in the venture and terminated our guarantee of its indebtedness. Accordingly, we recognized the previously deferred gain of $12.7 million (net of deferred income taxes of approximately $1.7 million). In April 2004, we sold most of our interest in Westin New York, a hotel in New York City, for net proceeds of $15.8 million and recognized a gain of $1.4 million (net of deferred income taxes of $0.8 million). In December 2005, the GGP Board of Directors approved two separate plans to dispose of certain office/industrial properties. The plans included 21 office properties which were sold at an aggregate sale price of approximately $125 million and 16 industrial buildings which were sold at an aggregate sale price of approximately $57 million. All of the properties were located in Hunt Valley and Woodlawn, Baltimore, Maryland. The sales closed in December 2005. As a result of the depositions, we recognized a loss of approximately $1.3 million in 2006 and a gain of approximately $6.2 million in 2005. Effective October 27, 2006, we distributed our ownership interest in Augusta Mall, LLC to GGP. The operating results of the properties included in discontinued operations are summarized as follows (in thousands):

* There were no significant discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2006. NOTE 5 UNCONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE AFFILIATES We own interests in unconsolidated real estate affiliates that own and/or develop properties, including master planned communities. We use these ventures to limit our risk associated with individual properties and to reduce our capital requirements. We may also contribute interests in properties we own to unconsolidated ventures for cash distributions and interests in the ventures to provide liquidity as an alternative to outright property sales. We T-20 account for the majority of these ventures using the equity method because the ventures do not meet the definition of a variable interest entity and we have joint interest and control of these properties with our venture partners. At December 31, 2006, these ventures were primarily partnerships and corporations which own retail centers (most of which we manage) and a venture developing the master planned community known as The Woodlands, near Houston, Texas. In January 2004, we acquired our partners' interests in the joint venture that is developing the master-planned community known as Fairwood, in Prince George's County, Maryland, increasing our ownership to 100%. Prior to this transaction, we held a noncontrolling interest in this venture and accounted for our investment as an investment in unconsolidated real estate affiliates. We consolidated the venture in our financial statements from the date of the acquisition. In April 2004, we sold most of our interest in Westin New York, a hotel in New York City, for net proceeds of $15.8 million and recognized a gain of approximately $1.4 million (net of deferred income taxes of $0.8 million). In September 2006, we sold the remaining interest in Westin New York and recognized no gain. In December 2003, we acquired a 50% interest in the retail component and certain office components of Mizner Park, a mixed-use property in Boca Raton, Florida, for approximately $34 million. In January 2004, we acquired a 50% interest in the remaining office components of Mizner Park for approximately $18 million. On December 31, 2003 we acquired, for approximately $185 million, certain office buildings and a 52.5% economic interest in entities (which we refer to as the "Woodlands Entities") that own The Woodlands, a master planned community in the Houston, Texas metropolitan area. Assets owned by the Woodlands Entities at the time of acquisition included approximately 5,500 acres of land, three golf course complexes, a resort conference center, a hotel, interests in seven office buildings and other assets. Two of the office buildings were sold during 2004. In January 2006 one building was sold and in December 2006 four buildings were sold for total cash proceeds of $17.7 million and a gain of approximately $9.0 million. Of this amount, $5.3 million was recorded as operating income, as the building was constructed with the intent to sell and considered inventory. As a result of these transactions and the ongoing operations of the ventures, cumulative distributions, primarily from financing proceeds, from certain of these ventures exceed our investments in them. This balance aggregated $21.9 million and $18.0 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively and is included in other liabilities. The condensed, combined balance sheets of ventures accounted for using the equity method as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the condensed, combined statements of income are summarized as follows (in thousands):

CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF INDIVIDUALLY SIGNIFICANT UNCONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE AFFILIATES We own 52.5% of the membership interest of The Woodlands Land Development Company, L.P., The Woodlands Commercial Properties Company, L.P., and The Woodlands Operating Company, L.P. ("The Woodlands Partnerships"), limited liability partnerships. The remaining 47.5% interest in The Woodlands Partnerships is owned by Morgan Stanley Real Estate Fund II, L.P. The condensed balance sheets of The Woodlands Land Development Company, L.P. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the condensed statements of operations of this venture for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2006, approximately $8.7 billion of land, buildings and equipment and investment land and land held for development and sale (before accumulated depreciation) have been pledged as collateral for our mortgage notes and other property debt payable. Certain properties are subject to financial performance covenants, primarily debt service coverage ratios, which we are in compliance with at December 31, 2006. At December 31, 2006, we had a $95.0 million interest rate swap agreement that effectively fixed the LIBOR rate (5.35% at December 31, 2006) on a portion of our variable-rate debt through February 2008 at 6.1%. The rate on the underlying debt is LIBOR plus 1.3%. The swap has a notional amount of $95.0 million and the variable rate of the debt is 6.6%, fixed at 6.1%. The agreements relating to various loans impose limitations on us. The most restrictive of these limit the levels and types of debt we and our affiliates may incur and require us and our affiliates to maintain specified minimum levels of debt service coverage and net worth. The agreements also impose restrictions on sale, lease and certain other transactions, subject to various exclusions and limitations. These restrictions have not and are not expected to limit our normal business activities as we expect to be able to access additional funds as necessary from GGP. In February 2006, in conjunction with various refinancings by GGP, we issued a $500 million bridge loan ("Bridge Loan"). On May 5, 2006 we fully repaid the Bridge Loan with a portion of the proceeds obtained from the sale of $800 million of senior unsecured notes which provide for semi-annual payments (commencing November 1, 2006) of interest only at a rate of 6.75% and payment of the principal in full on May 1, 2013. LETTERS OF CREDIT AND SURETY BONDS We had outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds of approximately $200 million as of December 31, 2006. These letters of credit and bonds were issued primarily in connection with insurance requirements, special real estate assessments and construction obligations. NOTE 7 INCOME TAXES Prior to the Merger, TRC was a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") and generally was not subject to corporate level federal income tax on taxable income it distributed currently to its stockholders. A REIT is permitted to own securities of a TRS in an amount up to 20% of the fair value of its assets. A TRS is a taxable corporation that is used by REITs generally to engage in nonqualifying REIT activities or perform nonqualifying services, and therefore a REIT is liable for federal and state income taxes with respect to such TRS entities. Subsequent to the Merger, we are an entity disregarded for federal income tax purposes and we are not liable for federal income taxes, except with respect to our TRS entities. As a subsidiary of GGP (which operates as a REIT), we own and operate several TRS entities that are principally engaged in the development and sale of land for residential, commercial and other uses, primarily in and around Columbia, Maryland; Summerlin, Nevada and Houston, Texas. The TRS entities also operate and/or own several T-23 retail centers and office and other properties. Except with respect to the TRS entities, management does not believe that we will be liable for significant income taxes at the federal level or in most of the states in which we operate in 2006 and future years. Current federal income taxes of the TRS entities are likely to increase significantly in future years as we exhaust the net loss carryforwards of certain TRS entities and complete certain land development projects. These increases could be significant. Several of our taxable REIT subsidiaries are subject to an ongoing federal income tax examination. We do not believe that the outcome of these examinations will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or financial position. The provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the periods November 13, 2004 through December 31, 2004 and January 1, 2004 through November 12, 2004 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

T-24 The tax effects of temporary differences and loss carryforwards included in the net deferred tax assets (liabilities) at December 31, 2006 and 2005 are summarized as follows (in thousands):
2006 2005 ----------- ----------- Property, primarily differences in depreciation and amortization, the tax basis of land assets and treatment of interest and certain other costs $(1,166,243) $(1,302,947) Deferred income (291,634) (205,857) Interest deduction carryforwards 142,177 163,193 Operating loss and tax credit carryforwards 27,691 65,515 ----------- ----------- Total $(1,288,009) $(1,280,096) =========== ===========
The deferred tax assets relate primarily to operating losses and interest deduction carryforwards for federal income tax purposes. A valuation allowance has been established due to the uncertainty of realizing operating loss and interest deduction carryforwards of certain TRS entities. Reversals of other valuation allowances of $25.6 million in 2005 related to certain tax loss carryforwards that we were previously unable to conclude were more likely than not to be realized. This amount is reflected as an adjustment to goodwill. Based on projections of future taxable income, management believes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets at December 31, 2006 and 2005, will be realized. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable could be reduced in the near term, however, if estimates of future taxable income are reduced. Deferred income taxes will become payable as temporary differences reverse (primarily due to the completion of land development projects) and TRS net operating loss carryforwards are exhausted. The TRS net operating loss, charitable contributions, and capital loss carryforwards at December 31, 2006 for federal income tax purposes were approximately $42.6 million in total and will begin to expire in 2007. The TRS interest deduction carryforwards at December 31, 2006 for Federal income tax purposes were approximately $405.5 million and do not expire. Several of our subsidiaries and partnerships in which we have an interest are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Although we believe our tax returns are correct, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could be different than that which was reported on the returns. In the opinion of management, we have made adequate tax provisions for years subject to examination. During the first quarter of 2007, we expect to complete an internal restructuring of certain of our operating properties that are currently owned by TRS entities. We currently estimate that the restructuring will reduce our deferred tax liability by approximately $300 million. NOTE 8 RENTALS UNDER OPERATING LEASES We, as lessee, have entered into operating leases, primarily for land at operating properties, expiring at various dates through 2072. Rents under such leases aggregated $12.0 million in 2006, $14.4 million in 2005, $2.0 million in the period November 13, 2004 to December 31, 2004 (including a purchase price adjustment of $1.0 million), and $5.1 million in the period January 1, 2004 to November 12, 2004, including contingent rents. In addition, we are responsible for real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance expenses. Minimum rent payments due under operating leases in effect at properties included in continuing operations at December 31, 2006 are summarized as follows (in thousands): 2007 $ 11,684 2008 11,706 2009 11,729 2010 11,752 2011 11,776 Subsequent 490,471

NOTE 9 TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Management fees primarily represent management and leasing fees, financing fees and fees for other ancillary services performed for the benefit of certain of the Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates and for properties owned by third parties. Fees charged to the Unconsolidated Properties totaled approximately $15.0 million in 2006, $10.9 million in 2005, $1.5 million for the period November 13, 2004 to December 31, 2004, and $7.9 million for the period January 1, 2004 to November 12, 2004. Such fees are recognized as revenue when earned. GGP directly performs functions such as payroll, benefits, and insurance for TRCLP and related costs for such functions are either charged directly to or allocated, as applicable, to TRCLP. Effective January 1, 2007, RPMI merged into General Growth Management, Inc. ("GGMI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of GGP. NOTE 10 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS We had stock option plans that awarded options to purchase shares of common stock to our directors, officers and employees. Stock options were generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the common stock on the date of grant, typically vested over a three- to five-year period, subject to certain conditions, and had a maximum term of ten years. These stock option plans were terminated following the Merger. As a result of the Merger, there were no options outstanding as of November 12, 2004. Expense recognized for stock options granted to employees of our unconsolidated ventures was insignificant. Under our stock bonus plans, shares of common stock were awarded to our directors, officers and employees. Shares awarded under the plans were typically subject to forfeiture restrictions which lapsed at defined annual rates. These stock bonus plans were terminated following the Merger. NOTE 11 PENSION, POST-RETIREMENT AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS We had a qualified defined benefit pension plan ("funded plan") that covered substantially all employees, and nonqualified unfunded defined benefit pension plans that primarily covered participants in the funded plan whose defined benefits exceed the plan's limits ("supplemental plan"). In April 2003, we modified our funded plan and our supplemental plan so that covered employees would not earn additional benefits for future services. In February T-26 2004, we adopted a proposal to terminate our funded and supplemental plans. On October 4, 2004, we began distributing the funded plan's assets to its beneficiaries. Concurrent with the first distributions from the funded plan, we terminated our supplemental plan by merger into our nonqualified supplemental defined contribution plan. As of December 31, 2004 the distributions were completed. We incurred settlement losses of $34.8 million in 2004 related to lump-sum distributions made primarily as a result of the plan termination in 2004 and retirements as a result of organizational changes. The lump-sum distributions were paid to participants primarily from assets of our funded plan, or with respect to the supplemental plan, from contributions made by us. The remaining nonqualified plan benefit obligations relate to The Rouse Company Board of Director's plan which has been curtailed as a result of the Merger and resulted in a curtailment loss of $0.1 million. We had a qualified defined contribution plan and a nonqualified supplemental defined contribution plan available to substantially all employees. In 2004, we matched 100% of participating employees' pre-tax contributions up to a maximum of 3% of eligible compensation and 50% of participating employees' pre-tax contributions up to an additional maximum of 2% of eligible compensation. In an action related to the curtailment of the funded and supplemental plans, we added new components to the defined contribution plans under which we either made or accrued discretionary contributions to the plans for all employees. Expenses related to these plans were $5.9 million in 2004. Our defined contribution plans were merged effective April 1, 2005 with those defined contribution plans offered by General Growth Properties, Inc., and our former employees, now as employees of GGP in 2005, participate in such plans. The supplemental plan obligations were $17.3 million at October 4, 2004. On August 20, 2004, we funded an irrevocable trust for the participants in our supplemental plan and our nonqualified supplemental defined contribution plan with cash of approximately $27.2 million and the transfer of marketable securities valued at approximately $25.2 million. We also had a retiree benefits plan that provided postretirement medical and life insurance benefits to full-time employees who met minimum age and service requirements. We paid a portion of the cost of participants' life insurance coverage and made contributions to the cost of participants' medical coverage based on years of service, subject to a maximum annual contribution. Effective December 31, 2004, modifications were made to the plan so that employees retiring on or after January 1, 2005 would no longer be eligible for this benefit. The curtailment of this plan required us to immediately recognize all unamortized prior service credit and unrecognized transition obligation and resulted in a curtailment gain of approximately $3 million in 2004. As of December 31, 2005, the retiree benefit plan was terminated as to all participants with unvested benefits. The net pension cost includes the following components (in thousands):
Pre-Merger basis ------------------- Period January 1 to November 12, 2004 ------------------- Interest cost on projected benefit obligations $ 3,167 Expected return on funded plan assets (2,906) Prior service cost recognized 30 Net actuarial loss recognized 1,184 ------- Net pension cost before special events 1,475 Special events: Settlement losses 34,839 Curtailment loss 136 ------- Net pension cost after special events $36,450 =======
The curtailment and settlement losses in 2004 are included in other provisions and losses, net, in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) (see Note 12). T-27 The net postretirement benefit cost includes the following components (in thousands):
Post-Merger basis Pre-Merger basis -------------------------- --------------------- Period November 13 Period January 1 to to December 31, 2004 November 12, 2004 -------------------------- --------------------- Service cost $ 48 $ 312 Interest cost on accumulated benefit obligations 136 879 Net actuarial loss recognized 19 124 Amortization of prior service cost (32) (209) ---- ------ Net postretirement benefit cost before special events $171 $1,106 ==== ======
We also had a deferred compensation program which permitted directors and certain management employees to defer portions of their compensation on a pre-tax basis. The effect of this program on net income was insignificant in 2004. Future contributions into the program were terminated on December 31, 2004 as a result of the Merger. NOTE 12 OTHER PROVISIONS AND LOSSES, NET Other provisions and losses, net, are summarized as follows (in thousands):
Pre-Merger basis ---------------------- Period January 1, 2004 through November 12, 2004 ------------------------- Costs of Merger with GGP $ 52,519 Interest and penalties for tax related matters (see Note 7) 45,571 Pension and post-retirement plan curtailment loss (see Note 11) 136 Pension plan settlement losses (see Note 11) 34,839 Other 206 -------- Total $133,271 ========
* There were no significant other provisions for 2006, 2005 or for the period November 13, 2004 to December 31, 2004. As a result of the Merger, we recognized significant Merger-related costs. We incurred approximately $32.5 million in professional service fees and other costs in connection with the Merger transaction and $20 million for a contribution to The Rouse Company Foundation, a charitable organization that is neither owned nor controlled by us, that was required under the Merger agreement. One of the conditions for closing the Merger was that we deliver to GGP an opinion of tax counsel acceptable to GGP with respect to our qualification as a REIT. In preparing for the Merger, we discovered that we may have had non-REIT earnings and profits that we did not distribute to our shareholders. These earnings and profits included non-REIT earnings and profits we would have succeeded to in 2001 if a tax election we made in 2001 with respect to one of our subsidiaries was determined to be invalid. Such earnings and profits also included earnings and profits which might be attributed to certain intercompany transactions. Based on advice from our outside legal counsel who assisted us with REIT tax matters and our internal analysis, we believed that paying additional distributions to our shareholders (which we refer to as extraordinary dividends) and making payments of additional tax, interest and penalties were the most expedient courses of action to take. On November 9, 2004, we entered into an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") to settle these matters and treat the payment of extraordinary dividends as satisfying our distribution requirements. The amount of the extraordinary dividend paid was $238 million. Additionally, we paid approximately $23.2 million of interest and a penalty of approximately $22.4 million to the IRS under the terms of the closing agreement with the IRS. As a result of these payments, we were able to deliver to GGP an acceptable opinion of tax counsel with respect to our REIT status. We had a qualified defined benefit pension plan ("funded plan") that covered substantially all employees, and nonqualified unfunded defined benefit pension plans that primarily covered participants in the funded plan whose defined benefits exceed the plan's limits ("supplemental plan"). In 2003, we modified our funded plan and our supplemental plan so that covered employees would not earn additional benefits for future services. In February T-28 2004, we adopted a proposal to terminate our funded and supplemental plans. On October 4, 2004, we began distributing the funded plan's assets to its beneficiaries. Concurrent with the first distributions from the funded plan, we terminated our supplemental plan by merger into our nonqualified supplemental defined contribution plan. As of December 31, 2004 the distributions were completed. We incurred settlement losses of $34.8 million in 2004 related to lump-sum distributions made primarily as a result of the plan termination in 2004 and retirements as a result of organizational changes. The lump-sum distributions were paid to participants primarily from assets of our funded plan, or with respect to the supplemental plan, from contributions made by us.

NOTE 14 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In the normal course of business, from time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings relating to the ownership and operations of our properties. In management's opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. T-29 CONTINGENT STOCK AGREEMENT In connection with the acquisition of The Hughes Corporation ("Hughes") in 1996, we entered into a Contingent Stock Agreement ("CSA") for the benefit of the former Hughes owners or their successors ("beneficiaries"). Under terms of the CSA, additional shares of common stock (or in certain circumstances, Increasing Rate Cumulative Preferred stock) are issuable to the beneficiaries based on certain indemnification obligations and on the appraised values of four defined groups of acquired assets at specified termination dates to 2009 and/or cash flows generated from the development and/or sale of those assets prior to the termination dates ("earnout periods"). Subsequent to the Merger, shares of GGP common stock are used to satisfy distribution requirements. The distributions of additional shares, based on cash flows, are determined and payable semiannually as of June 30 and December 31. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, 1,814,810 and 755,642, respectively, of GGP shares of common stock ($81.7 million and $35.3 million, respectively) were issuable to the beneficiaries, representing their share of cash flows for the period ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. The CSA is, in substance, an arrangement under which we and the beneficiaries will share in cash flows from development and/or sale of the defined assets during their respective earnout periods, and GGP will issue additional shares of common stock to the beneficiaries based on the value, if any, of the defined asset groups at specified termination dates. We account for the beneficiaries' shares of earnings from the assets subject to the agreement as an operating expense. We will account for any distributions to the beneficiaries in 2009, which are likely to be significant, in connection with the valuation related to assets we own as of such termination date as additional investments in the related assets (i.e., contingent consideration). All shares of TRC common stock repurchased in 2004 were subsequently issued pursuant to the CSA. HURRICANE DAMAGES In September 2005, two of our operating retail properties in Louisiana incurred hurricane and/or vandalism damage. Riverwalk Marketplace, which is located near the convention center in downtown New Orleans, partially reopened in November 2005. Though it is now fully opened, it is operating at levels below pre-hurricane levels as a result of reduced occupancy and tourist traffic. Oakwood Center, located in Gretna, Louisiana, is not expected to reopen until October 2007. We have comprehensive insurance coverage for both property damage and business interruption and, therefore, have recorded insurance recovery receivables for both of these coverages. The net book value of the property damage at these properties is currently estimated to be approximately $37 million. However, we continue to assess the damage estimates and are having ongoing discussions with our insurance carriers regarding the scope of repair, cleaning, and replacement required. The actual net book value write-off could vary from this estimate. Changes to these estimates have been and will be recorded in the periods in which they are determined. We believe it is probable that insurance proceeds will be sufficient to cover the cost of restoring the property damage and certain business interruption amounts; however, certain deductibles, limitations and exclusions are expected to apply with respect to both current and future matters. No determination has yet been made as to the total amount or timing of insurance payments. As of December 31, 2006, however, an aggregate of $32.5 million in insurance proceeds related to property damage and business interruption have been received. These proceeds have been applied against insurance recovery receivables. In addition, as certain disputes currently exist or may occur in the future with our insurance carriers, we have initiated litigation to preserve our rights concerning our claims. Finally, as of December 31, 2006, the majority of the remaining insurance recovery receivable represents the recovery of the net book value of fixed assets written off. T-30 OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Construction contracts for properties in development: Consolidated subsidiaries, primarily related to The Shops at La Cantera $ 14.6 Our share of unconsolidated real estate affiliates 1.1 Construction and purchase contracts for land development 56.9 Our share of long-term ground lease obligations of unconsolidated real estate affiliates 118.5 ------ $191.1 ======

NOTE 15 RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("SFAS No. 159") which provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The standard's objective is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. With certain limitations, early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact of this new statement on our financial statements. In September 2006, the SEC staff issued SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") Topic 1N, "Financial Statements -- Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements" ("SAB 108"). SAB 108 addresses how a registrant should quantify the effect of an error on the financial statements. The SEC staff concludes in SAB 108 that a dual approach should be used to compute the amount of a misstatement. Specifically, the amount should be computed using both the "rollover" (current year income statement perspective) and "iron curtain" (year-end balance sheet perspective) methods. The adoption had no impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R)" ("SFAS 158") which requires employers to fully recognize the obligations associated with single-employer defined benefit pension, retiree healthcare and other postretirement plans in their financial statements. Specifically, SFAS 158 requires an employer to: (a) Recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a plan's overfunded status or a liability for a plan's underfunded status (b) Measure a plan's assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employer's fiscal year (with limited exceptions) (c) Recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in the year in which the changes occur. Those changes will be reported in comprehensive income of a business entity. The requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan and the disclosure requirements are effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer's fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. We have adopted SFAS 158 as of and for the year-ended December 31, 2006. Due to the immateriality of our defined benefit pension plans, the impact of the adoption of SFAS 158 was not significant to our Consolidated Financial Statements. In September 2006, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157") which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 also requires expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. The standard applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does not expand the use T-31 of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"), an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," to create a single model to address accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes, by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We will adopt FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007, as required. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 will be recorded in retained earnings and other accounts as applicable. We are evaluating the impact of FIN 48 but cannot estimate the impact to the financial statements because of the need to continue to access the sufficiency of its positions with respect to measurement and recognition, including, but not limited to, transfer pricing. In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity," ("SFAS 150") which establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability. The effective date of SFAS 150 relating to measurement and classification provisions has been indefinitely postponed by the FASB. We did not enter into new financial instruments subsequent to May 2003 which would fall within the scope of this statement. Though we have certain limited life ventures that appear to meet the criteria for liability recognition, we do not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 150, if required, will have a material impact on our financial statements.
