  Third Amendment to Credit Agreement and Guaranty of Payment of Debt
  On June 30, 2006, Forest City Rental Properties Corporation ("FCRPC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Forest City Enterprises, Inc. (the "Company"), entered into a third amendment (the "Credit Agreement Amendment") with KeyBank National Association ("KeyBank"), as Administrative Agent, National City Bank ("NCB"), as Syndication Agent, Bank of America, N.A. ("B of A") and LaSalle Bank National Association ("LaSalle"), as Co-Documentation Agents, and the banks party thereto, to its existing Credit Agreement, dated as of March 22, 2004, among FCRPC, KeyBank, NCB, B of A, LaSalle and the banks party thereto, as amended by the First and Second Amendments to the Credit Agreement and the Consent Letter, dated as of January 19, 2005, April 7, 2005 and January 20, 2006, respectively, among FCRPC, KeyBank, NCB, and the banks party thereto (as amended, the "Credit Agreement").
  The Credit Agreement Amendment deletes the accordion feature and increases the availability under the revolving line of credit by $150,000,000 to $600,000,000, extends the maturity date to March 31, 2009, lowers the Company's borrowing rate to 1.75% over LIBOR or 1/2% over the prime rate and amends the definition of surety bonds to exclude Performance Surety Bonds (as defined in the Third Amendment to Guaranty of Payment of Debt or the "Guaranty Amendment").
  In connection with the Credit Agreement Amendment, the Company also entered into  the Guaranty Amendment with KeyBank, NCB, B of A, LaSalle and the banks party thereto, to its existing Guaranty of Payment of Debt, dated as of March 22, 2004, among the Company, KeyBank, NCB, B of A, LaSalle and the banks party thereto, as amended by the First and Second Amendments to the Guaranty of Payment of Debt and the Consent Letter, dated as of January 19, 2005, April 7, 2005 and January 20, 2006, respectively, with KeyBank, NCB, and the banks party thereto (as amended, the "Guaranty"). The Guaranty Amendment amends the Guaranty to make certain conforming changes to the Guaranty necessitated by the Credit Agreement Amendment and amends the minimum Earnings Before Depreciation, Amortization and Deferred Taxes ("EBDT") thresholds for the annual periods commencing on February 1, 2005 and thereafter.
