OPERATIONS OF VORNADO OPERATING COMPANY
In October 1998, Vornado Operating Company ("Vornado Operating") was spun
off from the Company in order to own assets that the Company could not itself
own and conduct activities that Company could not itself conduct.
The Company and Vornado Operating are parties to certain agreements
described below.
Revolving Credit Agreement
Vornado Operating was granted a $75,000,000 unsecured revolving credit
facility from the Company (the "Revolving Credit Agreement") which expires on
December 31, 2004. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest
at LIBOR plus 3%. The Company receives a commitment fee equal to 1% per annum on
the average daily unused portion of the facility. No amortization is required to
be paid under the Revolving Credit Agreement during its term. The Revolving
Credit Agreement prohibits Vornado Operating from incurring indebtedness to
third parties (other than certain purchase money debt and certain other
exceptions) and prohibits Vornado Operating from paying dividends. As of
December 31, 1999, $4,587,000 was outstanding under the Revolving Credit
Agreement.
Agreement with Vornado Operating
The Company and Vornado Operating are parties to an Agreement pursuant to
which, among other things, (a) the Company will under certain circumstances
offer Vornado Operating an opportunity to become the lessee of certain real
property owned now or in the future by the Company (under mutually satisfactory
lease terms) and (b) Vornado Operating will not make any real estate investment
or other REIT-Qualified Investment unless it first offers the Company the
opportunity to make such investment and the Company has rejected that
opportunity.
Under the Agreement, the Company provides Vornado Operating with certain
administrative, corporate, accounting, financial, insurance, legal, tax, data
processing, human resources and operational services. For these services,
Vornado Operating compensates the Company in an amount determined in good faith
by the Company as the amount an unaffiliated third party would charge Vornado
Operating for comparable services and reimburses the Company for certain costs
incurred and paid to third parties on behalf of Vornado Operating. Pursuant to
the Agreement, compensation for such services was $330,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1999 and $50,000 for the period from October 16, 1998 (commencement
date) through December 31, 1998.
Vornado Operating and the Company each have the right to terminate the
Agreement if the other party is in material default of the Agreement or upon 90
days written notice to the other party at any time after December 31, 2003. In
addition, the Company has the right to terminate the Agreement upon a change in
control of Vornado Operating.
Vornado Operating's Management
Messrs. Roth, Fascitelli, West and Wight are directors of Vornado
Operating. Mr. Roth is also Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
of Vornado Operating, Mr. Fascitelli is also President of Vornado Operating,
and certain other members of the Company's senior management hold a
corresponding position with Vornado Operating.
Temperature Controlled Logistics Business
On October 31, 1997, partnerships (the "Vornado/Crescent Partnerships") in
which affiliates of the Company have a 60% interest and affiliates of Crescent
Real Estate Equities Company have a 40% interest, acquired each of AmeriCold
Corporation ("Americold") and URS Logistics, Inc. ("URS"). In June 1998, the
Vornado/Crescent Partnerships acquired the assets of Freezer Services, Inc. and
in July 1998 acquired the Carmar Group.
-8-
<PAGE> 9
On March 12, 1999, the Vornado/Crescent Partnerships sold all of the
non-real estate assets of Temperature Controlled Logistics encompassing the
operations of the temperature controlled business for approximately $48,000,000
to a new partnership owned 60% by Vornado Operating Company and 40% by Crescent
Operating Inc. ("AmeriCold Logistics"). The new partnership leases the
underlying temperature controlled warehouses used in this business from the
Vornado/Crescent Partnerships which continue to own the real estate. The leases
generally have a 15 year term with two-five year renewal options and provide for
the payment of fixed base rent and percentage rent based on revenue AmeriCold
Logistics receives from its customers. The new partnership is required to pay
for all costs arising from the operation, maintenance and repair of the
properties as well as property capital expenditures in excess of $5,000,000
annually. The new partnership has the right to defer a portion of the rent for
up to three years beginning on March 12, 1999 to the extent that available cash,
as defined in the leases, is insufficient to pay such rent and pursuant thereto,
rent was deferred for the period ended December 31, 1999 of which the Company's
share was $3,240,000.
Disposition and Acquisition of Interest in CESCR
On December 31, 1998, the Company sold approximately 1.7% of the
outstanding partnership units of CESCR to Vornado Operating Company for an
aggregate purchase price of approximately $12,900,000, or $34 per unit (which is
the price at which CESCR issued partnership units in October 1998 in connection
with a significant "roll-up" transaction). The purchase price was funded out of
Vornado Operating's working capital. After giving effect to this purchase, the
Company owned approximately 9.6% of CESCR as of December 31, 1998. In connection
with this purchase, the Company granted to Vornado Operating an option to
require the Company to repurchase all of the CESCR units at the price at which
Vornado Operating purchased the CESCR units, plus a cumulative return on such
amount at a rate of 10% per annum. In March 1999, Vornado Operating exercised
such option and the Company reacquired the CESCR units from Vornado Operating
for $13,200,000.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
During 1999, the Company sold an aggregate of $539,500,000 of Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Units and $200,000,000 of Cumulative Redeemable Preferred
Shares, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $718,734 ,000.
In addition, during 1999 the Company completed $485,000,000 of property
level refinancings.
On March 1, 2000, the Company completed a $500,000,000 private placement
of 10-year, 7.93% mortgage notes, cross-collateralized by 42 shopping center
properties, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $490,000,000. In
connection therewith, the Company repaid $228,000,000 of existing mortgage debt
scheduled to mature on December 1, 2000 and $262,000,000 outstanding under its
revolving credit facility.
Further detail of the Company's financing activities are disclosed in
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations in Part II of this document.
At December 31, 1999, the ratio of debt-to-enterprise value (market equity
value plus debt less cash) was 43% based on debt of $3.2 billion which included
the Company's proportionate share of debt of partially-owned entities. In the
future, in connection with its strategy for growth, this percentage may change.
The Company's policy concerning the incurrence of debt may be reviewed and
modified from time to time by the Company without the vote of shareholders.

<PAGE> 10
The Company may seek to obtain funds through equity offerings or debt
financings, although there is no express policy with respect thereto. The
Company may offer its shares or Operating Partnership units in exchange for
property and may repurchase or otherwise reacquire its shares or any other
securities in the future.

by segment and region for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997.

extended to March 15, 2001. The interest rate was reset from 14.18% to 15.72%,
reflecting an increase in the underlying Treasury rate. Management believes
there are no indications of impairment as discussed in Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan".
The Company manages, develops and leases the Alexander's properties under
a management and development agreement (the "Management Agreement") and a
leasing agreement (the "Leasing Agreement") pursuant to which the Company
receives annual fees from Alexander's. These agreements have a one-year term
expiring in March of each year and are automatically renewable. See Item 2.
Properties for a description of Alexander's Development and Redevelopment
projects.
Alexander's common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under
the symbol "ALX".

General Partner of Interstate Properties, and the Chief Executive Officer and a
director of both Alexander's and Vornado Operating. Mr. Wight is a trustee of

Mr. Mandelbaum is a trustee of the Company and is also a director of

COMPETITION
The Company's four business segments, Office, Retail, Merchandise Mart
Properties and Temperature Controlled Logistics, operate in highly competitive
environments. The Company's success depends upon, among other factors, the
trends of the national and local economies, the financial condition and
operating results of current and prospective tenants and customers, the
availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, income tax
laws, governmental regulations, legislation and population trends. The Company
competes with a large number of real estate property owners. Principal factors
of competition are rent charged, attractiveness of property and the quality and
breadth of services provided. The Company has a large concentration of
properties in the New York City metropolitan area, a highly competitive market.
The economic condition of this market may be significantly influenced by supply
and demand for space and the financial performance and productivity of the
publishing, retail, pharmaceutical, insurance and finance industries.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS
Under various Federal, state and local laws 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. Such laws can impose liability
without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or caused, the release
of such 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 and regulations require abatement or removal of damaged
asbestos-containing materials or in the event of demolition or certain
renovations or remodeling and also govern emissions of and exposure to asbestos
fibers in the air. Air emissions and waste-water discharges and the operation
and subsequent removal of certain underground storage tanks are also regulated
by Federal and state laws. In connection with the ownership, operation and
management of its properties, the Company could be held liable for the costs of
remedial action with respect to such regulated substances or tanks or related
claims for personal injury, property damage or fines.
Each of the Company's properties has been subjected to varying degrees of
environmental assessment at various times. The environmental assessments did not
reveal any material environmental condition. However, there can be no assurance
that the identification of new compliance concerns or undiscovered areas of
contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the
discovery of additional sites, or changes in cleanup requirements would not
result in significant costs to the Company.
CERTAIN ACTIVITIES
Acquisitions and investments are not necessarily required to be based on
specific allocation by type of property. The Company has historically held its
properties for long-term investment; however, it is possible that properties in
the portfolio may be sold in whole or in part, as circumstances warrant, from
time to time. Further, the Company has not adopted a policy that limits the
amount or percentage of assets which would be invested in a specific property.
While the Company may seek the vote of its shareholders in connection with any
particular material transaction, generally the Company's activities are reviewed
and may be modified from time to time by its Board of Trustees without the vote
of shareholders.

The Company's New York City Office property lease terms range from 5 to 7
years for smaller tenant spaces to as long as 20 years for major tenants. Leases
typically provide for step-ups in rent periodically over the term of the lease
and pass through to tenants the tenant's share of increases in real estate taxes
and operating expenses over a base year. Electricity is provided to tenants on a
submetered basis or included in rent based on surveys and adjusted for
subsequent utility rate increases. Leases also typically provide for tenant
improvement allowances for all or a portion of the tenant's initial construction
costs of its premises. No tenant in the office segment accounted for more than
10% of the Company's total revenue. Below is a listing of tenants which
accounted for 2% or more of the New York City Office Properties revenues in
1999:

CESCR Office Properties:
CESCR, owns 39 office buildings in the Northern Virginia and Washington
D.C. area containing 10.7 million square feet. The Company owns a 34% interest
in CESCR. As of December 31, 1999, 49 percent of CESCR's property portfolio is
leased to various agencies of the U.S. government (General Services
Administration "GSA" lessee); the largest U.S. government agencies include the
U.S. Patent Trade Office (1.97 million square feet in 17 properties), the U.S.
Navy Sea Systems Command (253,000 square feet in 7 properties), the Federal
Supply Service (167,400 square feet in 2 properties) and the Environmental
Protection Agency (203,000 square feet in one property). One additional tenant,
US Airways, Inc. occupied 317,000 square feet in one building. As of December
31, 1999, no other tenants occupied more than 2% of CESCR's office properties.
CESCR office leases are typically for 3 to 5 year terms, and may provide
for extension options at prenegotiated rates. Most leases provide for annual
rental escalations throughout the lease term, plus recovery of increases in real
estate taxes and certain property operating expenses. Annual rental escalations
are typically based upon either fixed percentage increases or the consumer price
index. Leases also typically provide for tenant improvement allowances for all
or a portion of the tenant's initial construction costs of its' premises.

RETAIL
The Company owns 56 shopping center properties of which 53 are strip
shopping centers primarily located in the Northeast and Midatlantic states, two
are regional centers located in San Juan, Puerto Rico and one, the Green Acres
Mall, is a super-regional center located in Nassau County, Long Island, New
York. The Company's shopping centers are generally located on major regional
highways in mature, densely populated areas. The Company believes its shopping
centers attract consumers from a regional, rather than a neighborhood
marketplace because of their location on regional highways.
The following table sets forth the percentage of the Retail Portfolio
rentals by tenants' industry:

</TABLE>
The average annual base rent per square foot for the Green Acres Mall was
$13.46 and $12.92 in total, and $35.29 and $32.24 for mall tenants only, at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The Company's shopping center lease terms range from 5 years or less in
some instances, for smaller tenant spaces to as long as 25 years for major
tenants. Leases generally provide for additional rents based on a percentage of
tenants' sales and pass through to tenants the tenants' share of all common area
charges (including roof and structure in strip shopping centers, unless it is
the tenant's direct responsibility), real estate taxes and insurance costs and
certain capital expenditures. Percentage rent accounted for less than 2% of
total shopping center revenues in 1999. None of the tenants in the Retail
Segment accounted for more than 10% of the Company's total revenues.

In June 1995, Bradlees filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code. Bradlees emerged from bankruptcy in January 1999 when its plan
of reorganization was confirmed. The Company withdrew its objection to Bradlees'
proposed plan of reorganization after obtaining Bradlees' agreement that its
lease of the Company's 14th Street and Union Square property would terminate in
March 2000. The lease was scheduled to expire in October 2019, and contained an
option to renew for an additional ten years. The rent under the lease was
increased by $1,100,000 per annum to $3,400,000 per annum from January 1999 to
the March 2000 termination date. In connection with the foregoing, the Company
paid $11,000,000 to Bradlees. Subsequently, in January 2000, the lease was
extended to March 15, 2002 and in connection therewith, the rent under the lease
will increase to $4,600,000 in March, 2000 and to $4,900,000 in March 2001. The
Company is considering various alternatives for the redevelopment of this site.
The Company currently leases 15 other locations to Bradlees. Of these locations,
the leases for 14 are fully guaranteed by Stop & Shop Companies, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Koninklijke Ahold NV (formerly Royal Ahold NV), a
leading international food retailer, and one is guaranteed as to 70% of the
rent.
The following table sets forth as of December 31, 1999 lease expirations
for each of the next 10 years assuming that none of the tenants exercise their
renewal options.

(1) Most leases include periodic step-ups in rent, which are not
reflected in the initial rent per square foot leased.
The Company's strip shopping centers are substantially leased to large
stores (over 20,000 square feet). Tenants include destination retailers such as
discount department stores, supermarkets, home improvements stores, discount
apparel stores, membership warehouse clubs and "category killers." Category
killers are large stores which offer a complete selection of a category of items
(e.g., toys, office supplies, etc.) at low prices, often in a warehouse format.
Tenants typically offer basic consumer necessities such as food, health and
beauty aids, moderately priced clothing, building materials and home improvement
supplies, and compete primarily on the basis of price.
The Company's two regional shopping centers located in Montehiedra and
Caguas, Puerto Rico, (both of which are in the San Juan area) contain 1,014,000
square feet of which the Company owns 727,000 square feet. The centers are
anchored by four major stores: Sears, Roebuck and Co., Kmart (one in each of the
centers) and a Builders Square Home Improvement store.
The Green Acres Mall is a 1.6 million square foot super-regional enclosed
shopping mall complex situated in Nassau County, Long Island, New York,
approximately one mile east of the borough of Queens, New York. The Green Acres
Mall is anchored by four major department stores: Sears, Roebuck and Co., J.C.
Penney Company, Inc. and Federated Department Stores, Inc. doing business as
Stern's and as Macy's. The complex also includes The Plaza at Green Acres, a
188,000 square foot strip shopping center which is anchored by Kmart and
Waldbaums.

MERCHANDISE MART PROPERTIES
The Merchandise Mart Properties are a portfolio of seven properties
containing an aggregate of approximately 6.8 million square feet. The properties
are used for offices (36%), showrooms (61%) and retail stores (3%). The Company
acquired these assets in separate transactions in 1998. In April 1998, the
Company purchased four buildings containing approximately 5.4 million square
feet from the Kennedy Family, including the 3.4 million square foot Merchandise
Mart building in Chicago, the adjacent 350 North Orleans Street building, the
Washington, D.C. Office Center and the adjacent Washington, D.C. Design Center.

The average lease term ranges from 1 to 5 years for smaller tenants to as
long as 15 years for major tenants. Leases typically provide for step-ups in
rent periodically over the term of the lease and pass through to tenants the
tenants' share of increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses for a
building over a base year. Electricity is provided to tenants on a submetered
basis or included in rent based on surveys and adjusted for subsequent utility
rate increases. Leases also typically provide for tenant improvement allowances
for all or a portion of the tenant's initial construction of its premises. None
of the tenants in the Merchandise Mart Properties segment accounted for more
than 10% of the Company's total revenue. Below is a listing of the Merchandise
Mart Properties office tenants which accounted for 2% or more of the Merchandise
Mart Properties' revenues in 1999:

TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED LOGISTICS
The Company has a 60% interest in the Vornado/Crescent Partnerships that
own 89 refrigerated warehouses with an aggregate of approximately 428 million
cubic feet (excludes 15 additional warehouses containing approximately 91
million cubic feet managed by AmeriCold Logistics). AmeriCold Logistics leases
all of the partnerships' facilities. The Temperature Controlled Logistics
segment is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.
On March 12, 1999, the Vornado/Crescent Partnerships sold all of the
non-real estate assets of AmeriCold Logistics encompassing the operations of the
cold storage business for approximately $48,000,000 to a new partnership owned
60% by Vornado Operating Company and 40% by Crescent Operating Inc. ("AmeriCold
Logistics") The new partnership leases the underlying cold storage warehouses
used in this business from the Vornado/Crescent Partnerships which continue to
own the real estate. The leases generally have a 15 year term with two-five year
renewal options and provide for the payment of fixed base rent and percentage
rent based on revenue AmeriCold Logistics receives from its customers. The new
partnership is required to pay for all costs arising from the operation,
maintenance and repair of the properties as well as property capital
expenditures in excess of $5,000,000 annually. Fixed base rent and percentage
rent was approximately $134,000,000 for the period from March 12, 1999 through
December 31, 1999. The new partnership has the right to defer a portion of the
rent for up to three years beginning on March 12, 1999 to the extent that
available cash, as defined in the lease, is insufficient to pay such rent, and
pursuant thereto, rent was deferred as of December 31, 1999, of which the
Company's share is $3,240,000.
AmeriCold Logistics provides the frozen food industry with refrigerated
warehousing and transportation management services. Refrigerated warehouses are
comprised of production and distribution facilities. Production facilities
typically serve one or a small number of customers, generally food processors,
located nearby. These customers store large quantities of processed or partially
processed products in the facility until they are shipped to the next stage of
production or distribution. Distribution facilities primarily warehouse a wide
variety of customers' finished products until future shipment to end-users. Each
distribution facility generally services the surrounding regional market.
AmeriCold Logistics' transportation management services include freight routing,
dispatching, freight rate negotiation, backhaul coordination, freight bill
auditing, network flow management, order consolidation and distribution channel
assessment. AmeriCold Logistics' temperature-controlled logistics expertise and
access to both frozen food warehouses and distribution channels enable its
customers to respond quickly and efficiently to time-sensitive orders from
distributors and retailers.
AmeriCold Logistics' customers consist primarily of national, regional and
local frozen food manufacturers, distributors, retailers and food service
organizations. A breakdown of AmeriCold Logistics' largest customers include:

Kings Plaza Regional Shopping Center:
In June 1998, Alexander's increased its interest in the Mall to 100% by
acquiring Federated Department Stores's 50% interest. The purchase price was
approximately $28,000,000, which was paid in cash, plus Alexander's agreed to
pay Federated $15,000,000 to renovate its Macy's store in the Mall and
Federated agreed to certain modifications to the Kings Plaza Operating
Agreement. Alexander's is currently renovating the Mall in connection with the
overall renovation of the Center at an estimated cost of $33,000,000 of which
$9,045,000 has been expended as of January 31, 2000. The renovation is expected
to be completed in 2000.
Paramus:
Alexander's intends to develop a shopping center of approximately 550,000
square feet on this site. The estimated cost of such redevelopment is
approximately $100,000,000. Alexander's has received municipal approvals on
tentative plans to develop the site. No redevelopment plans have been
finalized.
Lexington Avenue:
Alexander's is currently undertaking the excavation and laying the
foundation for its Lexington Avenue property as part of the proposed
development of a large multi-use building. The proposed building is expected to
be comprised of a commercial portion, which may include retail stores, offices,
hotel space, extended-stay residences, residential rentals and parking; and a
residential portion, consisting of condominium units to be sold to the public.
In connection therewith, Alexander's paid $14,500,000 for 140,000 square feet
of air rights of which $12,200,000 was paid to the Company (Vornado's cost plus
$243,000 in interest and closing costs). The air rights were contracted for and
paid for in 1999, with closings to take place when the developments which give
rise to the air rights are completed in 2000. The capital required for the
proposed building will be in excess of $400,000,000.
Because a REIT is subject to 100% excise tax on income derived from the
sales of "dealer property" (i.e. condominiums), the air rights representing the
residential portion of the property are being transferred to a preferred stock
affiliate, a corporation in which Alexander's owns all of the preferred equity
and none of the common equity. The transfer value will be adjusted once the
final size of the residential portion is determined.
While Alexander's anticipates that financing will be available after
tenants have been obtained for these projects, there can be no assurance that
such financing will be obtained, or if obtained, that such financings will be
on terms that are acceptable. In addition, it is uncertain as to when these
projects will commence.
HOTEL PENNSYLVANIA
On August 5, 1999, the Company increased its interest in the Hotel
Pennsylvania to 100% by acquiring Planet Hollywood International, Inc.'s
("Planet Hollywood") 20% interest in the hotel for approximately $18,000,000
and assumed $24,000,000 of existing debt. In connection with the transaction,
the Company terminated the licensing agreement with Planet Hollywood for an
Official All-Star Hotel. The Hotel Pennsylvania is located in New York City on
Seventh Avenue opposite Madison Square Garden. The Company intends to refurbish
the Hotel. Under the terms of the mortgage on this property, in connection with
the refurbishment, the Company has escrowed $15,000,000 in cash and provided
$29,000,000 through letters of credit. The Hotel Pennsylvania contains
approximately 800,000 square feet of hotel space with 1,700 rooms and
approximately 400,000 square feet of retail and office space. The Company
manages the property's retail and office space, and a preferred stock affiliate
of the Company co-manages the hotel.
The following table presents rental information for the hotel:

(1) The earnings per share amounts prior to 1997 have been restated to comply
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share" (SFAS 128). For further discussion of earnings per share and the
impact of SFAS 128, see the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
All share and per share information has also been adjusted for a 2-for-1
share split in October 1997.
(2) Funds from operations does not represent cash generated from operating
activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs which is
disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the applicable
periods. There are no material legal or functional restrictions on the use
of funds from operations. Funds from operations should not be considered as
an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating
performance or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
Management considers funds from operations a supplemental measure of
operating performance and along with cash flow from operating activities,
financing activities and investing activities, it provides investors with an
indication of the ability of the Company to incur and service debt, to make
capital expenditures and to fund other cash needs. Funds from operations may
not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other REITs since
a number of REITs, including the Company, calculate funds from operations in
a manner different from that used by the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). Funds from operations, as defined by NAREIT,
represents net income applicable to common shares before depreciation and
amortization, extraordinary or non-recurring items and gains or losses on
sales of real estate. Funds from operations as disclosed above have been
modified from this definition to adjust for (i) the effect of
straight-lining of property rentals for rent escalations and leasing fee
income, (ii) the reversal of income taxes (benefit for the year ended
December 31, 1999) which is considered non-recurring because of the expected
conversion of Temperature Controlled Logistics Companies to REITs, (iii) the
addback of Temperature Controlled Logistics non-recurring unification costs,
and (iv) the exclusion of a $2,700 reduction in interest expense in 1999
resulting from the amortization of the excess of fair value of Newkirk Joint
Venture limited partnership's debt over its face amount at date of
acquisition.

Interest and other investment income (interest income on mortgage loans
receivable, other interest income, dividend income and net gains on marketable
securities) was $18,359 for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared to
$24,074 in the prior year, a decrease of $5,715. This decrease resulted
primarily from lower average investments.
Interest and debt expense was $141,683 for the year ended December 31,
1999, compared to $114,686 in the prior year, an increase of $26,997. This
increase resulted primarily from debt in connection with acquisitions.
Minority interest was $54,998 for the year ended December 31, 1999,
compared to $16,183 for the prior year, an increase of $38,815. This increase
is primarily due to higher income.
Preferred stock dividends were $33,438 for the year ended December 31,
1999, compared to $21,690 in the prior year, an increase of $11,748. The
increase resulted from the issuance of the Company's Series B Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Shares in March 1999 and Series C Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Shares in May 1999.
The Company operates in a manner intended to enable it to continue to
qualify as a REIT under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as
amended. Under those sections, a REIT which distributes at least 95% of its REIT
taxable income as a dividend to its shareholders each year and which meets
certain other conditions will not be taxed on that portion of its taxable income
which is distributed to its shareholders. The Company has distributed to its
shareholders an amount greater than its taxable income. Therefore, no provision
for Federal income taxes is required.

Funds from operations does not represent cash generated from operating
activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is
not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, which is
disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the applicable
periods. There are no material legal or functional restrictions on the use of
funds from operations. Funds from operations should not be considered as an
alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance
or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Management
considers funds from operations a supplemental measure of operating performance
and along with cash flow from operating activities, financing activities and
investing activities, it provides investors with an indication of the ability of
the Company to incur and service debt, to make capital expenditures and to fund
other cash needs. Funds from operations may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures reported by other REITs since a number of REITs, including the
Company, calculate funds from operations in a manner different from that used by
the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). Funds from
operations, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income applicable to common
shares before depreciation and amortization, extraordinary items and gains or
losses on sales of real estate. Funds from operations as disclosed above have
been modified from this definition to adjust for (i) the effect of
straight-lining of property rentals for rent escalations and leasing fee income,
(ii) the reversal of income taxes (benefit for the year ended December 31, 1999)
which is considered non-recurring because of the expected conversion of
Temperature Controlled Logistics Companies to REITs, (iii) the addback of
Temperature Controlled Logistics non-recurring unification costs, and (iv) the
exclusion of a $2,700 reduction in interest expense in 1999 resulting from the
amortization of the excess of fair value of Newkirk Joint Venture limited
partnership's debt over its face amount at date of acquisition.

Certain Cash Requirements
In January 2000, the Company completed approximately $36,000 of real
estate acquisitions, of which $17,640 was indebtedness.
The Company has budgeted approximately $91,000 for capital expenditures
(excluding acquisitions) over the next year as follows:

</TABLE>
(1) Represents the Company's 60% share of the Vornado/Crescent Partnership's
obligation to fund up to $5,000 of capital expenditures per annum.
In addition to the above, the Company has budgeted approximately $18,000
of leasing commissions.
Tenant allowances and leasing commissions for the New York City Office
properties approximate $18.00 per square foot for renewal space and $50.00 per
square foot for vacant space. Historically, approximately two-thirds of existing
tenants renew their leases.
In addition to the capital expenditures reflected above, the Company is
currently engaged in or considering certain multi-year development and
redevelopment projects for which it has budgeted approximately $278.7 million to
be expended as outlined in the "Development and Redevelopment Projects" section
of Item 1--Business. The $278.7 million does not include amounts for other
projects which are also included in the "Development and Redevelopment Projects"
section of Item 1 -Business, as no budgets for them have been finalized. There
can be no assurance that any of the above projects will be ultimately completed,
completed on time or completed for the budgeted amount.
No cash requirements have been budgeted for the capital expenditures and
amortization of debt of CESCR, Newkirk or Alexander's, which are partially owned
by the Company. These investees are expected to fund their own cash
requirements. Alexander's is not expected to distribute any cash to the Company
in 2000. In 2000, the Company expects to receive at a minimum, preferred
distributions from CESCR of approximately $14.4 million (7,679,365 preferred
units at $1.87 per unit) and common distributions of approximately $3.85 million
(2,500,000 common units at $1.54 per unit - current dividend rate). The minimum
preferred distribution rate increases by .25% each year for the next three
years.
On March 12, 1999 the Vornado/Crescent Partnerships sold all of the
non-real estate assets of the Temperature Controlled Logistics Companies
encompassing the operations of the Temperature Controlled Logistics business for
approximately $48,000 to a new partnership owned 60% by Vornado Operating
Company and 40% by Crescent Operating Inc.
On March 1, 2000, the Company sold three shopping centers located in Texas
for approximately $25,750 resulting in a gain of $4,400.
Financing Activities
CORPORATE
On March 17, 1999, the Company completed the sale of 3 million 8.5% Series
B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, at a price of $25.00 per share,
pursuant to an effective registration statement with net proceeds to the Company
of approximately $72,200. Further on March 22, 1999, 400,000 shares were sold
when the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option resulting in
additional net proceeds to the Company of $9,700. The perpetual preferred shares
may be called without penalty at the option of the Company commencing on March
17, 2004.

<PAGE> 63
On May 17, 1999, the Company completed the sale of 4 million 8.5% Series C
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, at a price of $25.00 per share, pursuant
to an effective registration statement with net proceeds to the Company of
approximately $96,900. Additionally on May 19, 1999, 600,000 shares were sold
when the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option resulting in
additional net proceeds to the Company of $14,500. The perpetual preferred
shares may be called without penalty at the option of the Company commencing on
May 17, 2004.
On May 27, 1999, the Company sold an aggregate of $27,500 of 8.375% Series
D-2 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units in the Operating Partnership to an
institutional investor in a private placement, resulting in net proceeds of
approximately $26,780. The perpetual Preferred Units may be called without
penalty at the option of the Operating Partnership commencing on May 27, 2004.
On September 3, 1999, the Company sold an aggregate of $325,000 of 8.25%
Series D-3 and D-4 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units in the Operating
Partnership to institutional investors in private placements, resulting in net
proceeds of approximately $316,400. The Perpetual Preferred Units may be called
without penalty at the option of the Operating Partnership commencing on
September 7, 2004.
On November 24, 1999, the Company sold an aggregate of $187,000 of 8.25%
Series D-5 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units in the Operating Partnership to
institutional investors in a private placement, resulting in net proceeds of
approximately $181,900. The Perpetual Preferred Units may be called without
penalty at the option of the Operating Partnership commencing on November 24,
2004.
On March 1, 2000 the Company completed a $500,000 private placement of
10-year, 7.93% mortgage notes, cross-collateralized by 42 shopping center
properties, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $490,000. In connection
therewith, the Company repaid $228,000 of existing mortgage debt scheduled to
mature on December 1, 2000 and $262,000 outstanding under its revolving credit
facility.
OFFICE
On February 16, 1999, the Company completed a $165,000 refinancing of its
Two Penn Plaza office building and prepaid the then existing $80,000 debt on the
property. The new 5-year debt matures in February 2004 and bears interest at
7.08%.
On March 1, 2000, the Company completed a $90,000 refinancing of its Two
Park Avenue office building. The Company received proceeds of $65,000 and repaid
the then existing debt in the same amount on the property. The Company expects
to receive the remaining $25,000 prior to June 30, 2000 upon satisfying certain
closing conditions. The new 3-year debt matures on February 28, 2003 and bears
interest at Libor + 1.45% (7.39% at March 1, 2000).
MERCHANDISE MART
On July 8, 1999, the Company completed a $70,000 mortgage financing of its
350 North Orleans property in Chicago. The Company received proceeds of $40,000
and is expected to receive the remaining $30,000 during the next year upon
meeting certain debt service coverage requirements. The new 3-year debt matures
in June 2002 and bears interest at LIBOR + 1.65% (8.13% at December 31, 1999).
On September 21, 1999, the Company completed a $250,000 mortgage
refinancing of its Merchandise Mart property in Chicago of which $50,000 is
further secured by a letter of credit. The new 5-year debt matures in September
2004 and bears interest at LIBOR +1.50% (7.97% at December 31, 1999). The letter
of credit will be reduced over the term of the loan as cash flow increases. The
Company bought an interest rate cap, capping the interest rate in the event that
LIBOR increases
-63-
<PAGE> 64
above 9.25% through the termination date of the agreement in September 2002.
Simultaneously with this transaction, the Company sold an interest rate cap to a
third party on the same terms as the cap the Company purchased.
The Company has an effective shelf registration under which it can offer
an aggregate of approximately $1.4 billion of equity securities and an aggregate
of $1.0 billion of debt securities.
The Company anticipates that cash from continuing operations will be
adequate to fund business operations and the payment of dividends and
distributions on an on-going basis for more than the next twelve months;
however, capital outlays for significant acquisitions will require funding from
borrowings or equity offerings.
ACQUISITION ACTIVITY
As a result of acquisitions, the book value of the Company's assets have
grown from $4,425,779 at December 31, 1998 to $5,479,218 at December 31, 1999.
The Company's future success will be affected by its ability to integrate
the assets and businesses it acquires and to effectively manage those assets and
businesses. The Company currently expects to continue to grow at a relatively
fast pace. However, its ability to do so will be dependent on a number of
factors, including, among others, (a) the availability of reasonably priced
assets that meet the Company's acquisition criteria and (b) the price of the
Company's common stock, the rates at which the Company is able to borrow money
and, more generally, the availability of financing on terms that, in the
Company's view, make such acquisitions financially attractive.
YEAR 2000 ISSUES
To date, there have been no material adverse effects to the Company's
financial condition or results of operations as a result of Year 2000.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities". This statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It is effective for all
fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Because the
Company does not currently utilize derivatives or engage in significant hedging
activities, management does not anticipate that implementation of this statement
will have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101). SAB 101 provides clarification in applying generally
accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements
including contingent rentals under leases. The Company does not anticipate that
implementation of this statement will have a material effect on the Company's
financial statements.
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
Substantially all of the Company's office, retail and permanent showroom
leases contain step-ups in rent. Such rental increases are not designed to, and
in many instances do not, approximate the cost of inflation, but do have the
effect of mitigating the adverse impact of inflation. In addition, substantially
all of the Company's leases contain provisions that require the tenant to
reimburse the Company for the tenant's share of common area charges (including
roof and structure in strip shopping centers, unless it is the tenant's direct
responsibility) and real estate taxes or for increases of such expenses over a
base amount, thus offsetting, in part, the effects of inflation on such
expenses.
Inflation did not have a material effect on the Company's results for the
periods presented.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
At December 31, 1999, the Company's exposure to a change in interest rates
on its wholly-owned and partially-owned debt is as follows:

Total decrease in the
Company's annual net income......... $ 11,290
============
Per share-diluted................ $ .13
============
</TABLE>
After giving effect to the Company's $500,000,000 financing completed on
March 1, 2000, and the use of a portion of the proceeds to repay approximately
$262,000,000 of the amount outstanding under its revolving credit facility, the
Company's total variable rate debt is $1,050,477,000. The effect of a 1%
increase on base rates would result in a total decrease in the Company's annual
net income of $9,034,000 or $.10 per share diluted.
The fair value of the Company's debt at December 31, 1999, based on
discounted cash flows at the current rate at which similar loans would be made
to borrowers with similar credit ratings for the remaining term of such debt
approximates its carrying value.
In July 1998, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement to
reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on its $275,000,000 One Penn
Plaza loan. The agreement caps the Company's interest rate in the event that
LIBOR increases above 8.5% through January 20, 2000 and 9% thereafter, until the
termination date of the cap agreement on July 30, 2001 (the debt matures in June
2002). The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by
the other parties to the interest rate cap agreement. However, the Company does
not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparty. The fair value of the
interest rate cap agreement at December 31, 1999 approximates its cost.
On September 21, 1999, the Company bought an interest rate cap, capping
the interest rate on its 250,000,000 Merchandise Mart loan in the event that
LIBOR increases above 9.25% through the termination date of the agreement in
September 2002. Simultaneously with this transaction, the Company sold an
interest rate cap to a third party on the same terms as the cap the Company
purchased.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Vornado Realty Trust
Saddle Brook, New Jersey
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vornado
Realty Trust as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated
statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1999. Our audits also included the
financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 14. These financial
statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Vornado Realty Trust at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion,
such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all
material respects the information set forth therein.

VORNADO REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
OPERATIONS OF VORNADO OPERATING COMPANY
In October 1998, Vornado Operating Company ("Vornado Operating") was spun
off from the Company in order to own assets that the Company could not itself
own and conduct activities that the Company could not itself conduct.
The Company and Vornado Operating are parties to certain agreements
described below.
Revolving Credit Agreement
Vornado Operating was granted a $75,000,000 unsecured revolving credit
facility from the Company (the "Revolving Credit Agreement") which expires on
December 31, 2004. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest
at LIBOR plus 3% (9.09% at December 31, 1999). The Company receives a commitment
fee equal to 1% per annum on the average daily unused portion of the facility.
No amortization is required to be paid under the Revolving Credit agreement
during its term. The Revolving Credit Agreement prohibits Vornado Operating from
incurring indebtedness to third parties (other than certain purchase money debt
and certain other exceptions) and prohibits Vornado Operating from paying
dividends. As of December 31, 1999, $4,587,000 was outstanding under the
Revolving Credit Agreement.
Agreement with Vornado Operating
The Company and Vornado Operating are parties to an Agreement pursuant to
which, among other things, (a) the Company will under certain circumstances
offer Vornado Operating an opportunity to become the lessee of certain real
property owned now or in the future by the Company (under mutually satisfactory
lease terms) and (b) Vornado Operating will not make any real estate investment
or other REIT-Qualified Investment unless it first offers the Company the
opportunity to make such investment and the Company has rejected that
opportunity.
Under the Agreement, the Company provides Vornado Operating with certain
administrative, corporate, accounting, financial, insurance, legal, tax, data
processing, human resources and operational services. For these services,
Vornado Operating compensates the Company in an amount determined in good faith
by the Company as the amount an unaffiliated third party would charge Vornado
Operating for comparable services and reimburses the Company for certain costs
incurred and paid to third parties on behalf of Vornado Operating. Pursuant to
the Agreement compensation for such services was $330,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1999 and $50,000 for the period from October 16, 1998 (commencement
date) through December 31, 1998.
Vornado Operating and the Company each have the right to terminate the
Agreement if the other party is in material default of the Agreement or upon 90
days written notice to the other party at any time after December 31, 2003. In
addition, the Company has the right to terminate the Agreement upon a change in
control of Vornado Operating.
Vornado Operating's Management
Messrs. Roth, Fascitelli, West and Wight are directors of Vornado
Operating. Mr. Roth is also Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
of Vornado Operating, Mr. Fascitelli is also President of Vornado Operating, and
certain other members of the Company's senior management hold a corresponding
position with Vornado Operating.
Temperature Controlled Logistics Business
On October 31, 1997, partnerships (the "Vornado/Crescent Partnerships") in
which affiliates of the Company have a 60% interest and affiliates of Crescent
Real Estate Equities Company have a 40% interest acquired each of Americold
Corporation ("Americold") and URS Logistics, Inc. ("URS"). In June 1998, the
Vornado/Crescent Partnerships acquired the assets of Freezer Services, Inc. and
in July 1998 acquired the Carmar Group.

VORNADO REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
On March 12, 1999, the Vornado/Crescent Partnerships sold all of the
non-real estate assets of the Cold Storage Companies encompassing the operations
of the cold storage business for approximately $48,000,000 to a new partnership
owned 60% by Vornado Operating Company and 40% by Crescent Operating Inc.
("AmeriCold Logistics"). The new partnership leases the underlying cold storage
warehouses used in this business from the Vornado/Crescent Partnerships which
continue to own the real estate. The leases generally have a 15 year term with
two-five year renewal options and provide for the payment of fixed base rent and
percentage rent based on revenues AmeriCold Logistics receives from its
customers. The new partnership is required to pay for all costs arising from the
operation, maintenance and repair of the properties, as well as property capital
expenditures in excess of $5,000,000 annually. Fixed base rent and percentage
rent was approximately $134,000,000 for the period from March 12, 1999 through
December 31, 1999. The new partnership has the right to defer a portion of the
rent for up to three years beginning on March 12, 1999 to the extent that
available cash, as defined in the leases, is insufficient to pay such rent and
pursuant thereto, rent was deferred as of December 31, 1999, of which the
Company's share is $3,240,000.
Disposition and Acquisition of Interest in CESCR
On December 31, 1998, the Company sold approximately 1.7% of the
outstanding partnership units of CESCR to Vornado Operating Company for an
aggregate purchase price of approximately $12,900,000 or $34 per unit (which is
the price at which CESCR issued partnership units in October 1998 in connection
with a significant "roll-up" transaction). The purchase price was funded out of
Vornado Operating's working capital. After giving effect to this purchase, the
Company owned approximately 9.6% of CESCR as of December 31, 1998. In connection
with this purchase, the Company granted to Vornado Operating an option to
require the Company to repurchase all of the CESCR units at the price at which
Vornado Operating purchased the CESCR units, plus a cumulative return on such
amount at a rate of 10% per annum. In March 1999, Vornado Operating exercised
such option and the Company reacquired the CESCR units from Vornado Operating
for $13,200,000.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Vornado Realty Trust and its majority-owned
subsidiary, Vornado Realty L.P. as well as interests acquired that individually
(or in the aggregate with prior interests) exceed a 50% interest and the Company
exercises unilateral control. All significant intercompany amounts have been
eliminated. Equity interests in partially-owned entities include partnerships,
joint ventures and preferred stock affiliates (corporations in which the Company
owns all of the preferred stock and none of the common equity) and are accounted
for under the equity method of accounting as the Company exercises significant
influence. These investments are recorded initially at cost and subsequently
adjusted for net equity in income (loss) and cash contributions and
distributions. Ownership of the preferred stock entitles the Company to
substantially all of the economic benefits in the preferred stock affiliates.
The common stock of the preferred stock affiliates is owned by Officers and
Trustees of Vornado.
Management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in
order to conform to current year presentation.
REAL ESTATE: Real estate is carried at cost, net of accumulated
depreciation and amortization. Betterments, major renewals and certain costs
directly related to the acquisition, improvement and leasing of real estate are
capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the assets estimated
useful lives which range from 7 to 40 years. Tenant allowances are amortized on
a straight-line basis over the lives of the related leases. Additions to real
estate include interest expense capitalized during construction of $7,012,000
and $1,410,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.
The Company's properties are reviewed for impairment if events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property may not be
recoverable. In such an event, a comparison is made of the current and projected
operating cash flows of each such property into the foreseeable future on an
undiscounted basis to the carrying amount of such property. Such carrying amount
would be adjusted, if necessary, to estimate fair value to reflect an impairment
in the value of the asset.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly
liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less.
Cash and cash equivalents does not include cash escrowed under loan agreements
and cash restricted in connection with an officer's deferred compensation
payable.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES: The Company has classified debt and equity
securities which it intends to hold for an indefinite period of time as
securities available for sale, equity securities it intends to buy and sell on a
short term basis as trading securities and its preferred stock investment in
Capital Trust as securities held to maturity. Unrealized gains and losses are
included in earnings for trading securities and as a component of shareholders'
equity and other comprehensive income for securities available for sale.
Realized gains or losses on the sale of securities are recorded based on average
cost.
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, marketable securities had an aggregate cost
of $96,787,000 and $83,043,000 and an aggregate market value of $106,503,000 and
$77,156,000 (of which $9,826,000 and $6,826,000 represent trading securities and
$48,606,000 and $48,531,000 represent securities held to maturity and reported
at amortized cost). Gross unrealized gains and losses were $7,977,000 and
$9,658,000 at December 31, 1999, and $513,000 and $6,400,000 at December 31,
1998. Included in marketable securities available for sale at December 31, 1999
are warrants to acquire 550,941 common shares with a market value of
$11,397,000.
NOTES AND MORTGAGE LOANS RECEIVABLE: The Company evaluates the
collectibility of both interest and principal of each of its loans, if
circumstances warrant, to determine whether it is impaired. A loan is considered
to be impaired, when based on current information and events, it is probable
that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the
existing contractual terms. When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount
of the loss accrual is calculated by comparing the recorded investment to the
value determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the loan's
effective interest rate. Interest on impaired loans is recognized on a cash
basis.

DEFERRED CHARGES: Direct financing costs are deferred and amortized over
the terms of the related agreements as a component of interest expense. Direct
costs related to leasing activities are capitalized and amortized on a
straight-line basis over the lives of the related leases. All other deferred
charges are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective
interest rate method, in accordance with the terms of the agreements to which
they relate.
OFFICERS COMPENSATION PAYABLE: In July 1998, the Emerging Issues Task
Force (EITF) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued EITF 97-14
"Accounting for Deferred Compensation Arrangements Where Amounts Earned are Held
in a Rabbi Trust and Invested" (EITF 97-14). EITF 97-14 applies to the Company's
accounting treatment of the Officers Compensation Payable as reflected in the
balance sheet. The transition guidance of EITF 97-14 required the Company to
record a charge to equity of $10,464,000 which represents the appreciation in
the value of the stock from the date the trust was established (at which time
the price of the stock was $21.75 per share) to September 30, 1998 (at which
time the price of the stock was $33.13 per share). In subsequent periods,
appreciation in the stock's price above $33.13 will be recognized as
compensation expense and, if the price fluctuates between $33.13 and $21.75,
equity would be adjusted. For the year ended December 31, 1998, approximately
$340,000 was recognized as compensation expense as the share price was $33.50 on
December 31, 1998. For the year ended December 31, 1999, approximately $340,000
was recognized as a reduction of compensation expense and approximately $579,000
was recorded as a reduction of stockholders' equity as the share price was
$32.50 on December 31, 1999.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: All financial instruments of the
Company are reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at amounts
which, in management's estimation, based upon an interpretation of available
market information and valuation methodologies (including discounted cash flow
analyses with regard to fixed rate debt) are considered appropriate, and
reasonably approximate their fair values. Such fair value estimates are not
necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized upon disposition of
the Company's financial instruments.
REVENUE RECOGNITION: Base rents, additional rents based on tenants' sales
volume and reimbursement of the tenants' share of certain operating expenses are
generally recognized when due from tenants. The straight-line basis is used to
recognize base rents under leases entered into after November 14, 1985, which
provide for varying rents over the lease terms.
INCOME TAXES: The Company operates in a manner intended to enable it to
continue to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 as amended. Under those sections, a REIT which distributes at least
95% of its REIT taxable income as a dividend to its shareholders each year and
which meets certain other conditions will not be taxed on that portion of its
taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders. The Company has
distributed to shareholders an amount greater than its taxable income.
Therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes is required. Dividend
distributions for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1997, were characterized
for Federal income tax purposes as ordinary income. Dividend distributions for
the tax year ended December 31, 1998 were characterized as ordinary income
(81%), return of capital (17%) and capital gain (2%).
The net basis of the Company's assets and liabilities for tax purposes is
approximately $1,617,000,000 lower than the amount reported for financial
statement purposes.
AMOUNTS PER SHARE: Basic earnings per share is computed based on average
shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share considers the effect of options,
warrants and convertible securities. All share and per share information has
also been adjusted for a 2-for-1 stock split in October 1997.
STOCK OPTIONS: The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the
intrinsic value method. Under the intrinsic value method compensation cost is
measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's
stock at the date of grant over the exercise price of the option granted.
Compensation cost for stock options, if any, is recognized ratably over the
vesting period. The Company's policy is to grant options with an exercise price
equal to the quoted market price of the Company's stock on the grant date.
Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the Company's stock
option plans.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities". This statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It is effective for all
fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Because the
Company does not currently utilize derivatives or engage in significant hedging
activities, management does not anticipate that implementation of this statement
will have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101). SAB 101 provides clarification in applying generally
accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements
including contingent rentals under leases. The Company does not anticipate that
implementation of this statement will have a material effect on the Company's
financial statements.
3. ACQUISITIONS
The Company completed approximately $807 million of real estate
acquisitions or investments from January 1, 1999 through March 2000 and $2.4
billion in 1998. These acquisitions were consummated through subsidiaries or
preferred stock affiliates of the Company and were recorded under the purchase
method of accounting. Related net assets and results of operations have been
included in these financial statements since their respective dates of
acquisition. The respective purchase costs were allocated to acquired assets and
assumed liabilities using their relative fair values as of the closing dates,
based on valuations and other studies certain of which are not yet complete.
Accordingly, the initial valuations are subject to change as such information is
finalized. The Company believes that any such change will not be significant
since the allocations were principally to real estate. The following are the
details of the acquisitions or investments by segment:
Office:
CHARLES E. SMITH COMMERCIAL REALTY INVESTMENT ("CESCR")
In October 1997, the Company acquired a 15% limited partnership interest
in CESCR for $60,000,000. CESCR owns interests in and manages approximately 10.7
million square feet of office properties in Northern Virginia and Washington,
D.C. and manages an additional 7.9 million square feet of office and other
commercial properties in the Washington, D.C. area. In October 1998, CESCR
issued partnership units in connection with a significant roll-up transaction
reducing the Company's limited partnership interest to 11.3%.
In December 1998, the Company sold approximately 1.7% of the outstanding
partnership units of CESCR to Vornado Operating for an aggregate price of
approximately $12,900,000. In connection with this purchase, the Company granted
Vornado Operating an option to require the Company to repurchase the units. The
option was exercised on March 4, 1999. Accordingly, the Company reacquired the
CESCR units from Vornado Operating for $13,200,000.
On March 4, 1999 the Company made an additional $242,000,000 investment in
CESCR by contributing to CESCR the land under certain CESCR office properties in
Crystal City, Arlington, Virginia and partnership interests in certain CESCR
subsidiaries. The Company acquired these assets from Commonwealth Atlantic
Properties, Inc, ("CAPI"), an affiliate of Lazard Freres Real Estate Investors
L.L.C., immediately prior to the contribution to CESCR. Together with the
Company's investment in CESCR made in 1997 and the units it reacquired from
Vornado Operating Company, Vornado now owns approximately 34% of CESCR's limited
partnership units. In addition, the Company acquired from CAPI for $8,000,000
the land under a Marriott Hotel located in Crystal City.

6.50% over the next three years and then fixes at 6.75% in year eight. The
Company will appoint one of three members to CESCR's Board of Managers,
increasing under certain circumstances to two of four members in March 2002.
In connection with these transactions, the Company agreed to make a
five-year $41,200,000 loan to CAPI with interest at 8%, increasing to 9% ratably

On October 20, 1999, the Company lent Alexander's $50,000,000 on the same
terms and conditions as the Company's existing $45,000,000 loan to Alexander's,
including the interest rate of 14.18%. Both loans, which were scheduled to
mature in March 15, 2000, have been extended for one year to March 15, 2001. The
interest rate has been reset from 14.18% to 15.72%, reflecting an increase in
the underlying Treasury rate.
Alexander's is currently undertaking the excavation and lying foundation
for its Lexington Avenue property as part of the proposed development of a large
multi-use building. The proposed building is expected to be comprised of a
commercial portion, which may include retail stores, offices, hotel space,
extended-stay residences, residential rentals and parking; and a residential
portion, consisting of condominium units to be sold to the public. In connection
therewith, Alexander's paid $14,500,000 for 140,000 square feet of air rights of
which $12,200,000 was paid to the Company (Vornado's cost plus $243,000 in
interest and closing costs). The air rights were contracted for and paid for in
1999, with closings to take place when the developments which give rise to the
air rights are completed in 2000. The capital required for the proposed building
will be in excess of $400,000,000.
Because a REIT is subject to 100% excise tax on income derived from the
sale of "dealer property" (i.e. condominiums), the air rights representing the
residential portion of the property are being transferred to a preferred stock
affiliate, a corporation in which Alexander's owns all of the preferred equity
and none of the common equity. The transfer value will be adjusted once the
final size of the residential portion is determined.
On October 21, 1999, the Company increased its ownership in Alexander's
from 29.3% to 32% by acquiring an additional 135,600 shares of Alexander's
common stock for approximately $8,956,000.
Alexander's is managed by and its properties are leased by the Company,
pursuant to agreements with a one-year term expiring in March of each year which
are automatically renewable. The annual management fee payable to the Company by
Alexander's is equal to the sum of (i) $3,000,000, (ii) 3% of the gross income
from the Kings Plaza Mall, plus (iii) 6% of development costs with minimum
guaranteed fees of $750,000 per annum.
The leasing agreement provides for the Company to generally receive a fee
of (i) 3% of sales proceeds and (ii) 3% of lease rent for the first ten years of
a lease term, 2% of lease rent for the eleventh through the twentieth years of a
lease term and 1% of lease rent for the twenty-first through thirtieth year of a
lease term. Subject to the payment of rents by Alexander's tenants, the Company
is due $1,756,000 at December 31, 1999. Such amount is receivable annually in an
amount not to exceed $2,500,000 until the present value of such installments
(calculated at a discount rate of 9% per annum) equals the amount that would
have been paid had it been paid on September 21, 1993, or at the time the
transactions which gave rise to the commissions occurred, if later.
As of December 31, 1999, Interstate Properties and its partners owned
approximately 17.8% of the common shares of beneficial interest of the Company
and 27.3% of Alexander's common stock. Interstate Properties is a general
partnership in which Steven Roth, David Mandelbaum and Russell B. Wight, Jr. are
partners. Mr. Roth is the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of
the Company, the Managing General Partner of Interstate Properties, and the
Chief Executive Officer and a director of Alexander's, Messrs. Mandelbaum and
Wight are trustees of the Company and are also directors of Alexander's.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
(1) On March 1, 2000 the Company completed a $500,000,000 private placement of
10-year, 7.83% mortgage notes, cross-collateralized by 42 shopping center
properties, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $490,000,000. In
connection therewith, the Company repaid $228,000,000 of existing mortgage
debt scheduled to mature on December 1, 2000 and $262,000,000 outstanding
under its revolving credit facility.
(2) On March 1, 2000, the Company completed a $90,000,000 refinancing of its
Two Park Avenue office building. The Company received proceeds of
$65,000,000 and repaid the then existing debt in the same amount on the
property. The Company expects to receive the remaining $25,000,000 prior to
June 30, 2000 upon satisfying certain closing conditions. The new 3-year
debt matures on February 28, 2003 and bears interest at Libor + 1.45%
(7.39% at March 1, 2000).
(3) In June 1998, the Company completed a $275,000,000 refinancing of its One
Penn Plaza office building and borrowed $170,000,000 pursuant thereto. In
the third quarter of 1998, the Company borrowed the remaining $105,000,000.
The debt matures in June 2002, is prepayable at anytime, and bears interest
at LIBOR + 1.25% (7.73% at December 31, 1999). This debt replaced the
$93,192,000 bridge-mortgage loan financing put in place when the property
was acquired. The Company entered into an interest rate cap
agreement($275,000,000 notional amount) to reduce the impact of changes in
interest rates on this loan. The agreement caps the Company's interest rate
in the event that LIBOR increases above 8.5% through January 20, 2000 and
9% thereafter, until the termination date of the cap agreement on July 30,
2001. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance
by the other parties to the interest rate cap agreement. However, the
Company does not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparty. The fair
value of the interest rate cap agreement at December 31, 1999 approximates
its cost.
(4) On February 18, 1999, the Company completed a $165,000,000 refinancing of
its Two Penn Plaza office building and prepaid the then existing
$80,000,000 debt on the property.
(5) On July 18, 1999, the Company completed a $70,000,000 mortgage financing of
its 350 North Orleans property in Chicago. The Company received proceeds of
$40,000,000 and is expected to receive the remaining $30,000,000 during the
next year upon meeting certain debt service coverage requirements.
(6) On September 21, 1999, the Company completed a $250,000,000 mortgage
refinancing of its Merchandise Mart property in Chicago of which
$50,000,000 is further secured by a letter of credit. The letter of credit
will be reduced over the term of the loan as cash flow increases. The
Company bought an interest rate cap with a notional amount of $250,000,000
capping the interest rate in the event that LIBOR increases above 9.25%
through the termination date of the agreement in September 2002.
Simultaneously with this transaction, the Company sold an interest rate cap
with a notional amount of $250,000,000 to a third party on the same terms
as the cap the Company purchased.
The net carrying value of properties collateralizing the notes and
mortgages amounted to $2,501,882,000 at December 31, 1999. As at December 31,
1999, the maturities for the next five years and thereafter are as follows:

During the three years ended December 31, 1999, the Company sold $1,133,672,000
of Common Shares, $276,000,000 of Convertible Preferred Shares and $193,300,000

sales.
Sale of Common Shares
In October 1997, Vornado sold 14,000,000 common shares and an additional
2,100,000 common shares in November 1997 when the underwriters exercised in full
their over-allotment option. The shares were sold at a price of $45.00 per share
which, net of expenses, yielded approximately $688,672,000.
In April 1998, the Company completed the sale of 10,000,000 common shares
of beneficial interest, par value $.04 per share pursuant to an effective
registration statement with net proceeds to the Company of approximately

Sale of Convertible Preferred Shares
In April 1997, Vornado completed its public offering of 5,750,000 Series A
Convertible Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest, liquidation preference
$50.00 per share. The preferred shares bear a coupon of 6 1/2% and are
convertible into common shares at $36.11 per share. The offering, net of
expenses, generated approximately $276,000,000 which was used to fund the cash
portion of the Mendik Transaction. In connection with the acquisition of Arbor
in December 1997, the Company issued approximately 2,936,000 common shares and
39,400 Series A Convertible Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest. The

$102,000,000.
Sale of Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares
On March 17, 1999, the Company completed the sale of 3 million 8.5% Series
B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, at a price $25.00 per share, pursuant
to an effective registration statement with net proceeds to the Company of
approximately $72,200,000. Further on March 22, 1999, 400,000 shares were sold
when the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option resulting in
additional net proceeds to the Company of $9,700,000. The perpetual preferred
shares may be called without penalty at the option of the Company commencing on
March 17, 2004.
On May 17, 1999, the Company completed the sale of 4 million 8.5% Series C
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, at a price of $25.00 per share, pursuant

sold when the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option resulting in
additional net proceeds to the Company of $14,500,000. The perpetual preferred
shares may be called without penalty at the option of the Company commencing on
May 17, 2004.
On October 20, 1997, the Company paid a 100% common share dividend to
shareholders. All share and per share information has been adjusted to reflect
this two-for-one share split.

Shares available for future grant under the Plan at December 31, 1999 were
8,223,227.
In connection with the acquisition of Arbor in December 1997, the Company
issued 60,000 options to a third party outside of the Plan parameters. These
options were granted at $43.75 per share and immediately vested. No expense was
incurred related to this issuance as it was accounted for as component of the
acquisition price.
8. RETIREMENT PLAN
In December 1997, benefits under the Plan were frozen. Prior to December
31, 1997, the Company's qualified retirement plan covered all full-time
employees. The Plan provided annual pension benefits that were equal to 1% of
the employee's annual compensation for each year of participation. The funding
policy is in accordance with the minimum funding requirements of ERISA.
Pension expense includes the following components:

9. LEASES
As lessor:
The Company leases space to tenants in shopping centers and office
buildings under operating leases. Most of the leases provide for the payment of
fixed base rentals payable monthly in advance. Shopping center leases provide
for the pass-through to tenants of real estate taxes, insurance and
maintenance. Office building leases generally require the tenants to reimburse
the Company for operating costs and real estate taxes above their base year
costs. Shopping center leases also provide for the payment by the lessee of
additional rent based on a percentage of the tenants' sales. As of December 31,
1999, future base rental revenue under noncancellable operating leases,
excluding rents for leases with an original term of less than one year and
rents resulting from the exercise of renewal options, is as follows:

</TABLE>
These amounts do not include rentals based on tenants' sales. These
percentage rents approximated $2,213,000, $2,493,000 and $1,786,000 for the
years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997.
None of the Company's tenants represented more than 10% of the Company's
total revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999.

</TABLE>
Rent expense was $14,269,000, $5,937,000 and $2,001,000 for the years
ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997.
10. COMMITTMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
At December 31, 1999, in addition to the $367 million balance outstanding
under the Company's revolving credit facility, the Company had utilized $117
million of availability under the facility for letters of credit and guarantees
primarily related to pending acquisitions.
Each of the Company's properties has been subjected to varying degrees of
environmental assessment at various times. The environmental assessments did
not reveal any material environmental contamination. However, there can be no
assurance that the identification of new areas of contamination, change in the
extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites, or
changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant costs to the
Company.
From time-to-time, the Company has disposed of substantial amounts of
real estate to third parties for which, as to certain properties, it remains
contingently liable for rent payments or mortgage indebtedness.
There are various legal actions against the Company in the ordinary
course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal
counsel, the outcome of such matters will not have a material effect on the
Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.
11. NET GAIN FROM INSURANCE SETTLEMENT AND CONDEMNATION PROCEEDINGS
In April 1997, the Company's Lodi shopping center was destroyed by a
fire. In the third quarter of 1998, the Company and its insurer agreed that the
estimated cost to reconstruct the shopping center is approximately $9,012,000
and the Company recorded a gain of $7,955,000 (the agreed upon amount, net of
the carrying value of the shopping center of $1,057,000). The insurance carrier
had previously advanced $5,550,000 to the Company. The reconstruction of the
shopping center was completed in 1999.
In September 1998, Atlantic City condemned the Company's vacant property.
In the third quarter of 1998, the Company recorded a gain of $1,694,000, (which
reflects the condemnation award of $3,100,000, net of the carrying value of the
property of $1,406,000). The Company is appealing the amount of the award.

12. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The Company enters into agreements for the purchase and resale of U.S.
government obligations for periods of up to one week. The obligations purchased
under these agreements are held in safekeeping in the name of the Company by
various money center banks. The Company has the right to demand additional
collateral or return of these invested funds at any time the collateral value
is less than 102% of the invested funds plus any accrued earnings thereon.
13. OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
At December 31, 1999, the loan due from Mr. Roth, in accordance with his
employment arrangement, was $13,122,500 ($4,705,000 of which is shown as a
reduction in shareholders' equity). During 1999, the Company amended Mr. Roth's
loan to, (i) reset the interest rate to 4.49% per annum (based on the applicable
Federal rate) from a floating rate equal to the broker call rate and (ii) extend
the maturity to January 2006 from December 2002. The Company also provided Mr.
Roth with the right to draw up to $15,000,000 of additional loans on a revolving
basis. Each additional loan will bear interest, payable quarterly, at the
applicable Federal rate on the date the loan is made and will mature on the
sixth anniversary of the loan.
At December 31, 1999, loans due from Mr. Fascitelli, in accordance with
his employment agreement, aggregated $7,600,000. The loans mature in 2003 and
bear interest, payable quarterly at a weighted average interest rate of 5.16%
(based on the applicable Federal rate). In addition, in accordance with his
employment agreement, in December 1996 Mr. Fascitelli received a deferred
payment consisting of $5,000,000 in cash and a $20,000,000 convertible
obligation payable at the Company's option in 919,540 of its common shares or
the cash equivalent of their appreciated value but not less than $20,000,000.
Accordingly, the cash and common shares are being held in an irrevocable trust
(the fair value of this obligation was $34,996,620 at December 31, 1999).
Various other executive officers of the Company have loans outstanding
pursuant to employment agreements of $1,146,000 at December 31, 1999. The loans
bear interest at either the applicable Federal rate provided or the broker call
rate (7.25% at December 31, 1999).
The Company currently manages and leases the real estate assets of
Interstate Properties pursuant to a management agreement for which the Company
receives a quarterly fee equal to 4% of base rent and percentage rent and
certain other commissions. The management agreement has a term of one year and
is automatically renewable unless terminated by either of the parties on sixty
days' notice at the end of the term. Although the management agreement was not
negotiated at arms length, the Company believes based upon comparable fees
charged by other real estate companies, that its terms are fair to the Company.
For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, $1,262,000, $1,365,000
and $1,184,000 of management fees were earned by the Company pursuant to the
management agreement.
The Mendik Group owns an entity which provides cleaning and related
services and security services to office properties, including the Company's
Manhattan office properties. Although the terms and conditions of the contracts
pursuant to which these services are provided were not negotiated at arms
length, the Company believes based upon comparable fees charged to other real
estate companies, that the terms and conditions of such contracts are fair to
the Company. The Company was charged fees in connection with these contracts of
$40,974,000 and $25,686,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 and
$9,965,000 for the period from April 15, 1997 (date of acquisition of the
Mendik portfolio) to December 31, 1997.
The common stock of the preferred stock affiliates which own interests in
the Temperature Controlled Logistics Companies, Hotel Pennsylvania and related
management companies are owned by Officers and Trustees of Vornado.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
Notes to segment information:
(1) EBITDA represents income before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization, extraordinary or non-recurring items, gains or losses on
sales of real estate and the effect of straight-lining of property
rentals for rent escalations. Management considers EBITDA a
supplemental measure for making decisions and assessing the performance
of its segments. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures employed by other companies.
(2) Other includes (i) the operations of the Company's warehouse and
industrial properties, (ii) investments in the Hotel Pennsylvania,
Alexander's, and Newkirk Joint Ventures, (iii) corporate general and
administrative expenses and (iv) unallocated investment income and
interest and debt expense.
(3) Includes (i) the reversal of income taxes (benefit for the year ended
December 31, 1999) which are considered non-recurring because of the
expected conversion of the Temperature Controlled Logistics Companies
to REIT's and (ii) the add back of non-recurring unification costs.
(4) Interest and debt expense, depreciation and amortization and
straight-lining of rents included in the reconciliation of net income
to EBITDA reflects amounts which are netted in income from
partially-owned entities.
(5) Primarily represents the Company's equity in Alexander's loss for the
write-off resulting from the razing of Alexander's building formerly
located at its Lexington Avenue site.

* These encumbrances are cross collateralized under a blanket mortgage in
the amount of $224,865 at December 31, 1999 which was repaid as part of
a $500,000 financing completed on March 1, 2000.
Notes:
1) Initial cost is cost as of January 30, 1982 (the date on which Vornado
commenced real estate operations) unless acquired subsequent to that date
-- see Column H.
2) The net basis of the company's assets and liabilities
for tax purposes is approximately $1,617,000 lower than the amount reported
for financial statement purposes.
3) Date of original construction -- many properties have had substantial
renovation or additional construction -- see Column D.
4) Buildings on these properties were demolished. As a result, the cost of the
buildings and improvements, net of accumulated depreciation, were
transferred to land. In addition, the cost of the land in Kearny is net of
a $1,615 insurance recovery.
5) Properties were sold subsequent to December 31, 1999.

and, in the case of a special meeting or as otherwise may be required by any
statute, the purpose for which the meeting is called, either by mail, by
presenting it to such shareholder personally, by leaving it at his residence or
usual place of business or by any other means permitted by Maryland law. If
mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United
States mail addressed to the shareholder at his post office address as it
appears on the records of the Trust, with postage thereon prepaid.
SECTION 5. Scope of Notice. Any business of the Trust may be
transacted at an annual meeting of shareholders without being specifically
designated in the notice, except such business as is required by statute to be
stated in such notice. No business shall be transacted at a special meeting of
shareholders except as specifically designated in the notice.
SECTION 6. Quorum. At any meeting of shareholders, the
presence in person or by proxy of shareholders entitled to cast a majority of
all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting shall constitute a quorum;
but this section shall not affect any requirement under any statute or the
Declaration of Trust for the vote necessary for the adoption of any measure.
If, however, such quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the
shareholders, the chairman of the meeting or the shareholders entitled to vote
at such meeting, present in person or by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the
meeting from time to time to a date not more than 120 days after the original
record date without notice other than announcement at the meeting. At such
adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be
transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally
notified.
SECTION 7. Voting. A plurality of all the votes cast at a
meeting of shareholders duly called and at which a quorum is present shall be
sufficient to elect a Trustee. Each share may be voted for as many individuals
as there are Trustees to be elected and for whose election the share is
entitled to be voted. A majority of the votes cast at a meeting of shareholders
duly called and at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient to approve any
other matter
2
<PAGE> 3
which may properly come before the meeting, unless more than a majority of the
votes cast is required by statute or by the Declaration of Trust. Unless
otherwise provided in the Declaration, each outstanding share, regardless of
class, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a
meeting of shareholders.
SECTION 8. Proxies. A shareholder may cast the votes entitled
to be cast by the shares of beneficial interest owned of record by the
shareholder in person or by proxy executed by the shareholder or by the
shareholder's duly authorized agent in any manner permitted by law. Such proxy
or evidence of authorization of such proxy shall be filed with the secretary of
the Trust before or at the meeting. No proxy shall be valid more than eleven
months after its date, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.
SECTION 9. Voting of Shares by Certain Holders. Shares
registered in the name of a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, if
entitled to be voted, may be voted by the chief executive officer or a vice
president, a general partner or trustee thereof, as the case may be, or a proxy
appointed by any of the foregoing individuals, unless some other person who has
been appointed to vote such shares pursuant to a bylaw or a resolution of the
board of directors of such corporation or other entity or agreement of the
partners of a partnership presents a certified copy of such bylaw, resolution
or agreement, in which case such person may vote such shares. Any trustee or
other fiduciary may vote shares registered in his name as such fiduciary,
either in person or by proxy.
Shares of the Trust directly or indirectly owned by it shall
not be voted at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total
number of outstanding shares entitled to be voted at any given time, unless
they are held by it in a fiduciary capacity, in which case they may be voted
and shall be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at
any given time.
The Board of Trustees may adopt by resolution a procedure by
which a shareholder may certify in writing to the Trust that any shares
registered in the name of the shareholder are held for the account of a
specified person other than the shareholder. The resolution shall set forth the
class of shareholders who may make the certification, the purpose for which the
certification may be made, the
3
<PAGE> 4
form of certification and the information to be contained in it; if the
certification is with respect to a record date or closing of the share transfer
books, the time after the record date or closing of the share transfer books
within which the certification must be received by the Trust; and any other
provisions with respect to the procedure which the Board of Trustees considers
necessary or desirable. On receipt of such certification, the shareholder of
record of the specified shares in place of the shareholder who makes the
certification.
SECTION 10. Inspectors. At any meeting of shareholders, the
chairman of the meeting may appoint one or more persons as inspectors for such
meeting. Such inspectors shall ascertain and report the number of shares
represented at the meeting based upon their determination of the validity and
effect of proxies, count all votes, report the results and perform such other
acts as are proper to conduct the election and voting with impartiality and
fairness to all the shareholders.
Each report of an inspector shall be in writing and signed by
him or by a majority of them if there is more than one inspector acting at such
meeting. If there is more than one inspector, the report of a majority shall be
the report of the inspectors. The report of the inspector or inspectors on the
number of shares represented at the meeting and the result of the voting shall
be prima facie evidence thereof.
SECTION 11. Reports to Shareholders.
(a) Not later 90 days after the close of each fiscal year of
the Trust, the Board of Trustees shall deliver or cause to be delivered a
report of the business and operations of the Trust during such fiscal year to
the shareholders, containing a balance sheet and a statement of income and
surplus of the Trust, accompanied by the certification of an independent
certified public accountant, and such further information as the Board of
Trustees may determine is required pursuant to any law or regulation to which
the Trust is subject. A signed copy of the annual report and the accountant's
certificate shall be filed by the Board of Trustees with the State Department
of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland, and with such other governmental
agencies as may be required by law and as the Board of Trustees may deem
appropriate.

SECTION 12. Nominations and Shareholder Business. The matters
to be considered and brought before any annual or special meeting of
shareholders of the Trust shall be limited to only such matters, including the
nomination and election of Trustees, as shall be brought properly before such
meeting in compliance with the procedures set forth in this Section 12.
For any matter to be properly before any annual meeting of
shareholders, the matter must be (i) specified in the notice of annual meeting
given by or at the direction of the Board of Trustees, (ii) otherwise brought
before the annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Trustees or
(iii) brought before the annual meeting in the manner specified in this Section
12 by any shareholder of the Trust who was a shareholder of record at the time
of giving the applicable Shareholder Notice referred to below, who is entitled
to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures set forth in
this Section 12.
In addition to any other requirements under applicable law
and the Declaration of Trust and Bylaws of the Trust, no nomination by any
shareholder or shareholders of a person or persons for election as Trustees of
the Trust, and no other proposal by any shareholder or shareholders, shall be
considered properly brought before the meeting unless notice of any such
nomination or proposal (the "Shareholder Notice") shall be delivered to the
Secretary of the Trust at the principal executive office of the Trust not less
than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding
year's annual meeting; provided, however, that if the date of the meeting is
advanced or delayed by more than 30 days from such anniversary date, such
Shareholder Notice shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Trust at the
principal
5
<PAGE> 6
executive office of the Trust not earlier than the 120th day prior to such
annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the
90th day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on
which the date of such meeting is first publicly announced or disclosed. Any
shareholder desiring to nominate any person or persons (as the case may be) for
election as a Trustee or Trustees of the Trust shall deliver, as part of such
Shareholder Notice, a statement in writing setting forth the name of the person
or persons to be nominated, the number and class of all shares of each class of
shares of beneficial interest of the Trust owned of record and beneficially by
each such person, as reported to such shareholder by such nominee(s), the
information regarding each such person required by paragraphs (a), (e) and (f)
of Item 401 of Regulation S-K adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(or the corresponding provisions of any regulation subsequently adopted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to the Trust), each such person's
signed consent to serve as a Trustee of the Trust if elected, such
shareholder's name and address, the number and class of all shares of each
class of shares of beneficial interest of the Trust owned of record and
beneficially by such shareholder and whether any such person or such
shareholder has received any financial assistance, funding or other
consideration from any other person in respect of the nomination (and the
details thereof).
Any shareholder who gives a Shareholder Notice of any matter
(not involving nominees for Trustee) proposed to be brought before a meeting of
shareholders shall deliver, as part of such Shareholder Notice, the text of the
proposal to be presented and a brief written statement of the reasons why such
shareholder favors the proposal and setting forth such shareholder's name and
address, the number and class of all shares of each class of shares of
beneficial interest of the Trust owned of record and beneficially by such
shareholder, any material interest of such shareholder in the matter proposed
(other than as a shareholder generally) and whether such shareholder has
received any financial assistance, funding or other consideration from any
other person in respect of the proposal (and the details thereof). As used
herein, shares "beneficially owned" shall mean all shares which such person, or
any of such person's affiliates and associates (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under
the Securities Exchange
6
<PAGE> 7
Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")), is deemed to beneficially own pursuant to
Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, as well as all shares of which
such person, or any of such person's affiliates and associates, has the right
to become the beneficial owner pursuant to any agreement or understanding, or
upon the exercise of warrants, options or rights to convert or exchange
(whether such rights are exercisable immediately or only after the passage of
time or the occurrence of conditions).
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12 to the contrary,
in the event that the number of Trustees to be elected to the Board of Trustees
of the Trust is increased and either all of the nominees for Trustee or the
size of the increased Board of Trustees is not publicly announced or disclosed
by the Trust not less than 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the
preceding year's annual meeting, a Shareholder Notice shall also be considered
timely hereunder, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions
created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary of the
Trust at the principal executive office of the Trust not later than the close
of business on the tenth day following the first date all of such nominees or
the size of the increased Board of Trustees shall have been publicly announced
or disclosed.
In the event the Trust calls a special meeting of
shareholders for the purpose of electing one or more Trustees to the Board of
Trustees, any shareholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may
be), for election to such position(s) as specified in the Trust's notice of
meeting, if the Shareholder Notice required by this Section 12 shall be
delivered to the Secretary of the Trust at the principal executive office of
the Trust not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the
day on which the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by
the Board of Trustees to be elected at such meeting is publicly announced or
disclosed.
For purposes of this Section 12, a matter shall be deemed to
have been "publicly announced or disclosed" if such matter is disclosed in a
press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or
comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Trust
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

<PAGE> 8
In no event shall the adjournment of an annual or special
meeting, or any announcement thereof, commence a new period for the giving of
notice as provided in this Section 12. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of this Section 12, a shareholder shall also comply with all applicable
requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and
of the laws of the State of Maryland with respect to the matters set forth in
this Section 12. Nothing in this Section 12 shall be deemed to affect any
rights (i) of shareholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Trust's
proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (ii) of the
holders of any series of preferred shares of beneficial interest of the Trust,
if any, to elect Trustees under specified circumstances.
Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this Section 12 shall be eligible to serve as Trustees
and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of shareholders as shall
have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set
forth in this Section 12. The person presiding at any meeting of shareholders,
in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the
conduct of the meeting, shall have the power and duty to determine whether
notice of nominees and other matters proposed to be considered and brought
before a meeting has been duly given in the manner provided in this Section 12
and, if not so given, shall direct and declare at the meeting that such
nominees and other matters shall not be considered.
SECTION 13. Action by Written Consent of Shareholders. Any
action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of shareholders may be
taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth such action, is
signed by each shareholder entitled to vote on the matter and any other
shareholder entitled to notice of a meeting of shareholders (but not to vote
thereat) has waived in writing any right to dissent from such action, and such
consent and waiver are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the
shareholders.
SECTION 14. Voting by Ballot. Voting on any question or in
any election may be viva voce unless the presiding officer shall order or any
shareholder shall demand that voting be by ballot.

SECTION 2. Checks and Drafts. All checks, drafts or other
orders for the payment of money, notes or other evidences of indebtedness
issued in the name of the Trust shall be signed by such officer or officers,
agent or agents of the Trust in such manner as shall from time to time be
determined by the Board of Trustees.
SECTION 3. Deposits. All funds of the Trust not otherwise
employed shall be deposited from time to time to the credit of the Trust in
such banks, trust companies or other depositories as the Board of Trustees may
designate.
ARTICLE VII
SHARES
SECTION 1. Certificates. Except as otherwise provided in
these Bylaws, this section shall not be interpreted to limit the authority of
the Board of Trustees to issue some or all of the shares of any or all classes
or series without certificates. Each shareholder upon written request to the
secretary of the Trust shall be entitled to a certificate or certificates which
shall represent and certify the number of shares of each class of beneficial
interests held by him in the Trust. Each certificate shall be signed by the
chief executive officer or a vice president and countersigned by the secretary
or an assistant secretary or the chief financial officer or an assistant
treasurer and may be sealed with the seal, if any, of the Trust. The signatures
may be either manual or
17
<PAGE> 18
facsimile. Certificates shall be consecutively numbered; and if the Trust
shall, from time to time, issue several classes of shares, each class may have
its own number series. A certificate is valid and may be issued whether or not
an officer who signed it is still an officer when it is issued. Each
certificate representing shares which are restricted as to their
transferability or voting powers, which are preferred or limited as to their
dividends or as to their allocable portion of the assets upon liquidation or
which are redeemable at the option of the Trust, shall have a statement of such
restriction, limitation, preference or redemption provision, or a summary
thereof, plainly stated on the certificate. In lieu of such statement or
summary, the Trust may set forth upon the face or back of the certificate a
statement that the Trust will furnish to any shareholder, upon request and
without charge, a full statement of such information.
SECTION 2. Transfers. Certificates shall be treated as
negotiable and title thereto and to the shares they represent shall be
transferred by delivery thereof to the same extent as those of a Maryland stock
corporation. Upon surrender to the Trust or the transfer agent of the Trust of
a share certificate duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of
succession, assignment or authority to transfer, the Trust shall issue a new
certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and
record the transaction upon its books.
The Trust shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of
any share or shares as the holder in fact thereof and, accordingly, shall not
be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share
on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other
notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of
Maryland.
SECTION 3. Replacement Certificate. Any officer designated by
the Board of Trustees may direct a new certificate to be issued in place of any
certificate previously issued by the Trust alleged to have been lost, stolen or
destroyed upon the making of any affidavit of that fact by the person claiming
the certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing the issuance
of a new certificate, the officer designated by the Board of Trustees may, in
his discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require
the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or the owner's
18
<PAGE> 19
legal representative to advertise the same in such manner as he shall require
and/or to give bond, with sufficient surety, to the Trust to indemnify it
against any loss or claim which may arise as a result of the issuance of a new
certificate.
SECTION 4. Closing of Transfer Books or Fixing of Record
Date. The Board of Trustees may set, in advance a record date for the purpose
of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of
shareholders or determining shareholders entitled to receive payment of any
dividend or the allotment of any other rights, or in order to make a
determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose. Such date, in any
case, shall not be prior to the close of business on the day the record date is
fixed and shall be not more than 90 days and, in the case of a meeting of
shareholders not less than ten days, before the date on which the meeting or
particular action requiring such determination of shareholders is to be held or
taken.
In lieu of fixing a record date, the Board of Trustees may
provide that the share transfer books shall be closed for a stated period but
not longer than 20 days. If the share transfer books are closed for the purpose
of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of
shareholders, such books shall be closed for at least ten days before the date
of such meeting. If no record date is fixed and the share transfer books are
not closed for the determination of shareholders, (a) the record date for the
determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of
shareholders shall be at the close of business on the day on which the notice
of meeting is mailed or the 30th day before the meeting, whichever is the
closer date to the meeting; and (b) the record date for the determination of
shareholders entitled to receive payment of a dividend or an allotment of any
other rights shall be the close of business on the day on which the resolution
of the Board of Trustees, declaring the dividend or allotment of rights, is
adopted.
When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any
meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this section, such
determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof, except where the
determination has been made through the closing of the transfer books and the
stated period of closing the expired.
19
<PAGE> 20
SECTION 5. Share Ledger. The Trust shall maintain at its
principal office or at the office of its counsel, accountants or transfer
agent, an original or duplicate share ledger containing the name and address of
each shareholder and the number of shares of each class held by such
shareholder.
SECTION 6. Fractional Shares; Issuance of Units. The Board of
Trustees may issue fractional shares or provide for the issuance of scrip, all
on such terms and under such conditions as the Board of Trustees may determine.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Declaration of Trust or these
Bylaws, the Board of Trustees may issue units consisting of different
securities of the Trust. Any security issued in a unit shall have the same
characteristics as any identical securities issued by the Trust, except that
the Board of Trustees may provide that for a specified period securities of the
Trust issued in such unit may be transferred on the books of the Trust only in
such unit.
ARTICLE VIII
ACCOUNTING YEAR
The Board of Trustees shall have the power, from time to
time, to fix the fiscal year of the Trust by a duly adopted resolution.
ARTICLE IX
DISTRIBUTIONS
SECTION 1. Authorization. Dividends and other distributions
upon the Shares of the Trust may be authorized by the Board of Trustees,
subject to the provisions of law and the Declaration of Trust. Dividends may be
paid in cash, property or shares of the Trust, subject to the provisions of law
and the Declaration of Trust.
SECTION 2. Contingencies. Before payment of any dividends,
there may be set aside out of any funds of the Trust available for dividends
such sum or sums as the Board of Trustees may from time to time, in their
absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve fund for contingencies, for
equalizing dividends, for repairing or maintaining any property of the Trust or
for such other
20
<PAGE> 21
purpose as the Board of Trustees shall determine to be in the best interest of
the Trust, and the Board of Trustees may modify or abolish any such reserve.
ARTICLE X
INVESTMENT POLICY
Subject to the provisions of the Declaration of Trust, the
Board of Trustees may from time to time adopt, amend, revise or terminate any
policy or policies with respect to investments by the Trust as they shall deem
appropriate in their sole discretion.
ARTICLE XI
SEAL
SECTION 1. Seal. The Board of Trustees may authorize the
adoption of a seal by the Trust. The seal shall have inscribed thereon the name
of the Trust and the year of its organization. The Board of Trustees may
authorize one or more duplicate seals and provide for the custody thereof.
SECTION 2. Affixing Seal. Whenever the Trust is required to
place its seal to a document, it shall be sufficient to meet the requirements
of any law, rule or regulation relating to a seal to place the word "(SEAL)"
adjacent to the signature of the person authorized to execute the document on
behalf of the Trust.
ARTICLE XII
INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCES FOR EXPENSES
To the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect
from time to time, the Trust, without requiring a preliminary determination of
the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, shall indemnify (a) any Trustee,
officer or shareholder or any former Trustee, officer or shareholder (including
among the foregoing, for all purposes of this Article XII and without
limitation, any individual who, while a Trustee, officer or shareholder and at
the request of the Trust, serves or has served as a director, officer, partner
or trustee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise) who has been successful,
21
<PAGE> 22
on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of a proceeding to which he was made
a party by reason of such status, against reasonable expenses incurred by him
in connection with the proceeding, (b) any Trustee or officer or any former
Trustee or officer against any claim or liability to which he may become
subject by reason of such status unless it is established that (i) his act or
omission was material to the cause of action giving rise to the proceeding and
was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty, (ii) he actually received an improper personal benefit in money,
property or services or (iii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, he had
reasonable cause to believe that his act or omission was unlawful and (c) each
shareholder or former shareholder against any claim or liability to which he
may become subject by reason of such status. In addition, the Trust shall pay
or reimburse, in advance of final disposition of a proceeding, reasonable
expenses incurred by a Trustee, officer or shareholder or former Trustee,
officer or shareholder made a party to a proceeding by reason of such status
provided that, in the case of a Trustee or officer, the Trust shall have
received (i) a written affirmation by the Trustee or officer of his good faith
belief that he has met the applicable standard of conduct necessary for
indemnification by the Trust as authorized by these Bylaws and (ii) a written
undertaking by him or on his behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by
the Trust if it shall ultimately be determined that the applicable standard of
conduct was not met. The Trust may, with the approval of the Board of Trustees,
provide such indemnification and payment or reimbursement of expenses to any
Trustee, office or shareholder or any former Trustee, officer or shareholder
who served a predecessor of the Trust in such capacity and to any employee or
agent of the Trust or a predecessor of the Trust. Neither the amendment nor
repeal of this Section, nor the adoption or amendment of any other provision of
the Declaration of Trust or these Bylaws inconsistent with this Section, shall
apply to or affect in any respect the applicability of this paragraph with
respect to any act or failure to act which occurred prior to such amendment,
repeal or adoption. Any indemnification or payment or reimbursement of the
expenses permitted by these Bylaws shall be furnished in accordance with the
procedures provided for indemnification or payment or reimbursement of
expenses, as the case may be, under Section 2-418 of the Maryland General
Corporation Law (the "MGCL") for directors of Maryland corporations. The Trust
22
<PAGE> 23
may provide to Trustees, officers and shareholders such other and further
indemnification or payment or reimbursement of expenses as may be permitted by
the MGCL, as in effect from time to time, for directors of Maryland
corporations.
ARTICLE XIII
WAIVER OF NOTICE
Whenever any notice is required to be given pursuant to the
Declaration of Trust or Bylaws or pursuant to applicable law, a waiver thereof
in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether
before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the
giving of such notice. Neither the business to be transacted at nor the purpose
of any meeting need be set forth in the waiver of notice, unless specifically
required by statute. The attendance of any person at any meeting shall
constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where such person attends
a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any
business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
ARTICLE XIV
AMENDMENT OF BYLAWS
The Board of Trustees shall have the exclusive power to
adopt, alter or repeal any provision of these Bylaws and to make new Bylaws.

1. INDENTURE; MORTGAGOR REPRESENTATIVES.
1.1 Indenture. Concurrently with its execution and delivery to the
Mortgagee, this Mortgage is being assigned, pursuant to the Assignment, to the
Trustee, as trustee for the benefit of the Holders under the Indenture (a copy
of which is available from the Trustee). Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture,
the Servicer is responsible for servicing the Mortgage Loan on behalf of the
Trustee and for the benefit of the Holders under the Indenture. The address of
the Trustee is as shown on the first page of the Assignment. Upon such
assignment, the Trustee shall for all purposes be the sole Mortgagee hereunder
(and all references herein to the Mortgagee shall be deemed to refer to the
Trustee while such assignment is in effect) and the Trustee, or the Servicer on
behalf of the Trustee, shall (i) have the sole and exclusive benefit of and the
right and power to exercise, or to direct the exercise of, all the rights and
remedies of the Mortgagee hereunder, including the right to inspect the
Premises, to receive notices and financial information, to grant or withhold
consents or approvals, to benefit from indemnities, to receive, hold and apply
Proceeds and any Credit Facilities or Eligible Collateral or any other amount or
property provided by the Mortgagor hereunder, and, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, to take any action required or
permitted of the Mortgagee, all in the Trustee's own name, and to exercise all
other rights and remedies of the Mortgagee hereunder, (ii) be bound by all the
terms hereof which apply to the Mortgagee, and (iii) except to the extent
otherwise specified herein or in the Indenture, act in a commercially reasonable
manner in making any determination called for of it (without requiring thereby
that any Holder is obligated to act in a commercially reasonable manner) under
this Mortgage or in granting or withholding any approval or consent called for
under or requested pursuant to this Mortgage. Any designation contained herein
of the Mortgagee as attorney-in-fact for any or all of the Mortgagors shall be
deemed to include the Servicer on behalf of the Trustee and for the benefit of
the Holders. With respect to any matter as to which the Mortgagee (and, pursuant
to this Section, the Servicer) is designated as the attorney-in-fact for any or
all of the Mortgagors, such Mortgagors shall execute and deliver to the Trustee,
the Servicer or any agent or representative of any of them, as applicable, such
powers of attorney or other documents or instruments reasonably requested by the
Mortgagee or
-8-
<PAGE> 20
Servicer, as applicable, in order to carry out the purpose of such designation
as attorney-in-fact. The Mortgagor hereby acknowledges the foregoing and agrees
to be bound to the Trustee, upon such assignment, recognizing the Trustee as the
Mortgagee hereunder as if the Trustee were named in this Mortgage as the
Mortgagee. Upon such assignment, the Mortgagor's obligations to the Mortgagee
specified in this Mortgage shall be satisfied by the Mortgagor's tendering full
and timely payment or performance thereof to the Trustee. With respect to
delivery by the Mortgagee of documents and other written material, the Mortgagee
shall have only the obligations expressly set forth herein or in the other
Mortgage Security Documents or in the Indenture. All rights and remedies of the
Trustee as the Mortgagee hereunder, including all indemnities running to the
Mortgagee, shall also operate for the benefit of the Holders as provided in the
Indenture and shall be exercised by the Trustee in accordance with and subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture. It is expressly
understood that all or any portion of the amounts due under the Mortgage Notes
may from time to time be repaid on the terms provided herein and therein,
subject in each case to the ability of Vornado Finance to redeem or defease an
equivalent aggregate principal amount of Securities pursuant to the terms of the
Indenture.
1.2 Mortgagor Representative. The Mortgagor hereby designates and
appoints Union VF LLC as the representative of the Mortgagor (the "Mortgagor
Representative") which shall be and hereby is authorized to make any and all
elections and to grant any and all consents, waivers or approvals and to take
any such other actions as may be required or permitted to be taken by the
Mortgagor under this Mortgage or any other Mortgage Security Document (each a
"Mortgagor Action") for and on behalf of the Mortgagor, and the Mortgagee shall
be entitled to rely on any instruction or request made by the Mortgagor
Representative as if the same had been made by each of the Borrowers and the
Guarantors. In addition, whenever, in this Mortgage, the Indenture or any of the
other Mortgage Security Documents, the Mortgagee is authorized to make any
payment or return any funds or instruments to the Mortgagor without specifying
any particular Borrower or Guarantor, the Mortgagee shall have satisfied its
obligation hereunder and thereunder by delivering such funds or instruments to
the Mortgagor Representative. The Borrower named above shall continue as the
Mortgagor Representative throughout the term of this Mortgage, and any Mortgagor
Action taken by such Mortgagor Representative shall be binding upon and shall
-9-

inure to the benefit of each of the Borrowers and the Guarantors and their
successors until such time as the Borrowers and the Guarantors deliver to the
Mortgagee an Officer's Certificate signed by or on behalf of each of the
Borrowers and the Guarantors notifying the Mortgagee of the appointment of
another Borrower as the replacement Mortgagor Representative. Any Mortgagor
Representative hereunder shall not be released from its obligations under this
Mortgage, nor shall its Mortgaged Property be released from the lien of this
Mortgage, unless the entities that will be Borrowers and Guarantors after such
release have appointed a replacement Mortgagor Representative in accordance with
the foregoing. The Borrowers and Guarantors covenant and agree to maintain the
appointment of a Mortgagor Representative at all times during the term of this
Mortgage, and the Mortgagee shall not be required to accept or act upon any
Mortgagor Action, unless such action is taken by a Mortgagor Representative or
is otherwise evidenced by a written instrument signed by or on behalf of every
Borrower and Guarantor of a Property which has not been released.
1.3 Mortgagee Consents and Approvals. Whenever, in this Mortgage or
in any other Mortgage Security Document, any consent or approval or other action
may or shall be granted, withheld or otherwise taken by the Mortgagee, such
consent, approval or other action shall be granted or withheld and such other
action may be taken by the Servicer on behalf of the Mortgagee in accordance
with the Servicing Standards (as defined in the Indenture). In deciding whether
to grant or withhold any such consent or approval or to take any such other
action, the Servicer shall be entitled (but not required) to consult with such
counsel, real estate professionals or other Persons as the Servicer may deem
necessary or appropriate and the Mortgagor shall reimburse the Servicer for all

and there are no unrecorded options to purchase all or any part of any of the
Properties. No title insurance company issuing a policy covering all or any part
of any of the Properties shall be considered a beneficiary of, or entitled to
rely on, the representations and warranties contained herein.
(d) The Mortgagor has made and shall continue to make all required
contributions to all Employee Benefit Plans. The Mortgagor has no knowledge of

(f) At the time of execution of this Mortgage, the Mortgagor has no

3.2. Maintenance of Validity and Recording; Expansion.
(a) The Mortgagor covenants that it will forth with after the

<PAGE> 47
continuation statement or similar instrument relating to any property subject
thereto or to any property intended to be granted, conveyed, transferred and
assigned by this Mortgage to be filed, registered and recorded in such manner
and in such places as may be required by law in order to publish notice of and
fully to protect the validity thereof or the grant thereby of the property
subject thereto and the interest and rights of the Mortgagee therein. The
Mortgagor covenants that it has paid or will pay or cause to be paid all taxes
and fees incident to such filing, registration and recording, and all expenses

(c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein,
the Mortgagee hereby (i) consents to the modification of existing easements,

Permitted Exceptions and to the creation by the Mortgagor of additional
easements, rights of way, restrictive covenants or similar agreements affecting
title to the Premises of any of the Properties, including in connection with an
Alteration, and (ii) agrees that this Mortgage shall be subordinate to such
modifications, additional easements, rights of way, restrictive covenants or
similar agreements, in either case upon receipt by the Mortgagee of an Officer's
Certificate confirming that such action (A) will either benefit the Property or
will not affect the utility, operation or value of such Property in any material
adverse respect and (B) will not to the best knowledge of the certifying
officer, cause such Property to be in violation of any Legal Requirements,
Leases or Insurance Requirements or result in the loss of any certificate of
occupancy provided, however, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a
Triggering Event, the downgrade by Moody's of the rating assigned to any Class
of the Notes to a rating that is less than Investment Grade or the Mortgagor's
failure to comply with the reporting requirements set forth in Section 18

-36-
<PAGE> 48
easements, rights-of-way and similar agreements shall be subject to the
reasonable approval of the Mortgagee.
(d) The Mortgagor covenants and agrees to punctually perform all
obligations and agreements to be performed by it as lessor under any Lease or as

action as shall be reasonable and diligent to compel performance by each other
party to each of such instruments of such other party's obligations and
agreements thereunder. The Mortgagor shall maintain the validity, perfection,
priority and effectiveness of this Mortgage and the other Mortgage Security
Documents. The Mortgagor will not take any action, will not permit action to be
taken by others and will not omit to take any action, nor will the Mortgagor
give any notice, approval or consent or exercise, waive or modify any rights
under or in respect of the Permitted Exceptions, which action, omission, notice,
approval, consent or exercise, waiver or modification of rights would release
the Mortgagor from, or reduce any of the Mortgagor's obligations or liabilities
under, or would result in the termination, surrender or assignment of, or the
amendment or modification of, any of the Mortgage Security Documents, or would
impair the validity of any of the Permitted Exceptions, this Mortgage or any of
the other Mortgage Security Documents, or would affect any of the Properties in
any material adverse respect, without the Mortgagee's consent, and any attempt
to do any of the foregoing without such consent shall be of no force and effect.
(e) The Mortgagor represents that it has no actual knowledge of any
material respect in which it or any of the Properties is, on the date hereof, in
violation of any Legal Requirement or any Insurance Requirement or of any
agreement binding upon the Mortgagor or such Property.
(f) In order to permit the Mortgagor to expand any Improvements on a
Property through the addition of one or more anchor stores and/or the addition
of one or more mall or peripheral stores from time to time (those portions of
the Land on which such expansion shall be undertaken being collectively referred
to as the "Expansion Space"), the Mortgagee agrees, so long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time such addition is
commenced, as follows:
(i) In the event the Mortgagor desires to sell, ground lease
or sublease the Expansion Space, the Mortgagee shall consent to such sale
or ground lease
-37-
<PAGE> 49
and to the release of the Expansion Space from the lien of this Mortgage,
and/or to such other actions taken as may be reasonably requested by the
Mortgagor, provided that (I) the Architect shall have certified to the
Mortgagee that in such Architect's opinion (w) such transactions comply in
all material respects with all applicable zoning ordinances, (x) such
transactions and the particular plans developed for the Expansion Space
shall not adversely affect the utility or operation of the Premises in any
material adverse respect, (y) any connection to, or contemplated shared
use of, the common area in order to provide utilities services and access
to the Expansion Space shall not adversely affect the availability or
provision of utility services to the Premises in any material adverse
respect and (z) any such transaction shall not materially reduce the
rentable square footage of the Improvements, (II) such anchor store, mall
store or peripheral store shall join or be subject to the agreements
binding upon the Property on terms which shall not have a material adverse
effect on the value or operation of the Property as a whole, (III) the
Mortgagor delivers an Officers' Certificate stating that such transactions
and the particular plans developed for the Expansion Space do not violate
any existing Lease or the parties to such Lease have consented thereto,
(IV) the Mortgagor obtains an agreement from the third-party developer
conducting such expansion which provides that in the event the
third-party developer does not complete construction of the improvements
on the expansion parcel, the Mortgagor will have the right, at either the
Mortgagor's or the developer's expense as the Mortgagor shall elect, to
enter the expansion parcel and either complete the improvements or
demolish the uncompleted improvements with no liability to the third-party
developer, (V) if the construction of such Expansion Space would cause the
Debt Service Coverage Ratio with respect to such affected Property
(calculated using the Net Cash Flow and Debt Service allocable to and the
Allocated Amount for such Property) to be less than the Debt Service
Coverage Ratio with respect to such affected Property (calculated using
the Net Cash Flow and Debt Service allocable to and the Allocated Amount
for such Property) as of the Closing Date, then Mortgagor shall deposit
with the Trustee Eligible Collateral in the amount of the cost of the
Expansion Space or cause all Gross Revenue, after payment of Debt Service
on the Mortgage Notes and all other indebtedness permitted hereunder to be
deposited with Mortgagee promptly after
-38-
<PAGE> 50

interest-bearing escrow account invested at Mortgagor's instructions in
Eligible Collateral and to be held in such account until an amount equal
to the cost of the Expansion Space is so deposited in such account, (VI) a
Rating Agency Confirmation shall have been provided to Mortgagee and (VII)
if Mortgagor is required to prepay the Mortgage Notes as provided below,
Vornado Finance shall simultaneously with such prepayment defease, or if
permitted by the terms of the Indenture, redeem an equal principal amount
of the Notes (pursuant to the terms of the Indenture). Mortgagor's
obligations under clause (V) hereof to so deposit such Gross Revenue shall
terminate, and Mortgagee shall disburse any amounts so held by Mortgagee,
at such time as the Debt Service Coverage Ratio with respect to such
affected Property (calculated using the Net Cash Flow and Debt Service
allocable to and the Allocated Amount for such Property), for the
preceding twelve month period shall be equal to or greater than the Debt
Service Coverage Ratio with respect to such affected Property (calculated
using the Net Cash Flow and Debt Service allocable to and the Allocated
Amount for such Property) as of the Closing Date. Any cash proceeds from a
sale of Expansion Space on a Property that are not used to make capital
improvements on such Property shall be applied in any manner in which the
Mortgagor deems appropriate; provided, however, that at least 72% of such
proceeds shall be applied to make a prepayment on the Mortgage Notes
pursuant to Section 44(a)(ii) of this Mortgage. The Allocated Amount of
the applicable Property shall be reduced in the amount of such prepayment.
Any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 3.2(f) shall be applied to

A-1 Mortgage Note until the Class A-1 Mortgage Note has been paid in full;
second, to the Class A-2 Mortgage Note until the Class A-2 Mortgage Note

B Mortgage Note has been paid in full; fourth, to the Class C Mortgage
Note until the Class C Mortgage Note has been paid in full; fifth, to the

such other actions by the Mortgagor or to the Mortgagee taking such other
actions as may be reasonably requested by the Mortgagor provided that (I)
the Architect shall have certified to the Mortgagee that in such
Architect's opinion (w) such transactions comply in all material respects
with all applicable zoning ordinances, (x) such transactions and the
particular plans developed for the Expansion Space shall not adversely
affect the utility or operation of the Premises (excluding the Expansion

availability or provision of utility services to the Premises in any
material adverse respect and (z) any such transaction shall not materially
reduce the rentable square footage of the Improvements, (II) such anchor
store, mall store or peripheral store shall join or be subject to the
agreements binding upon the Property on terms which shall not have a
material adverse effect on the value or operation of the Property as a
whole,(III) the Mortgagor delivers an Officers' Certificate stating that
such transactions and the particular plans developed for the Expansion
Space do not violate any existing Lease or the parties to such Lease have
consented thereto, (IV) if the construction of such Expansion Space would
cause the Debt Service Coverage Ratio with respect to such affected
Property (calculated using the Net Cash Flow and Debt Service allocable to
and the Allocated Amount for such Property) to be less than Debt Service
Coverage Ratio with respect to such affected Property (calculated using
the Net Cash Flow and Debt Service allocable to and the Allocated Amount
for such Property) as of the Closing Date, then Mortgagor shall cause all
Gross Revenue, after payment of Debt Service on the Mortgage Notes and all
other indebtedness permitted hereunder to be deposited with Mortgagee
promptly after receipt thereof by Mortgagor, to be held by Mortgagee in a
segregated, interest-bearing escrow account invested at Mortgagor's
instructions in Eligible Collateral and to be held in such account until
an amount equal to the cost of the Expansion Space is so deposited in such
account and (V) a Rating Agency Confirmation shall have been provided to
Mortgagee. Mortgagor's obligations
-40-
<PAGE> 52
under clause (IV) hereof to so deposit such Gross Revenue shall terminate,
and Mortgagee shall disburse any amounts so held by Mortgagee, at such
time as the Debt Service Coverage Ratio with respect to such affected
Property (calculated using the Net Cash Flow and Debt Service allocable to
and the Allocated Amount for such Property) shall be equal to or greater
than Debt Service Coverage Ratio with respect to such affected Property
(calculated using the Net Cash Flow and Debt Service allocable to and the
Allocated Amount for such Property) as of the Closing Date.

restrictive covenants or similar agreements affecting title to the
Premises and (ii) agrees that this Mortgage shall be subordinate to such
modifications, additional easements, rights of way, restrictive covenants
or similar agreements, provided in either case that the Mortgagee
receives, within five (5) days prior to the execution by the Mortgagor of
such modification, additional easement, right of way, restrictive covenant
or similar agreement, an Officers' Certificate confirming that such action
(A) shall not adversely affect the utility or operation of the Premises in
any material adverse respect and (B) shall not cause the Premises to be in
violation of any Legal Requirement or result in the loss of any
certificate of occupancy, provided, however, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of a Triggering Event, the
-41-

downgrade by Moody's of the rating assigned to any Class of the Notes to a
rating that is less than Investment Grade or the Mortgagor's failure to
comply with the reporting requirements set forth in Section 18 hereof, any

being released in accordance with clause (e) of this Section 3.7;
(c) Mortgagor covenants that if a Stop & Shop Guaranteed Lease for a
Bradlees Property that is subject to the lien of this Mortgage that has been
allocated all or a portion of the Rental Increase expires pursuant to its terms
prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date, Mortgagor shall reallocate all or such
portion, as the case may be, of such Rental Increase to another Bradlees

<PAGE> 60
Bradlees Properties that are subject to the lien of this Mortgage.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Mortgage to the
contrary (except Section 3.7(e) below), any reallocation of all or a portion of

affected Bradlees Properties as follows: (i) the Allocated Amount of the
Bradlees Property to which all or a portion of the Rental Increase is being
allocated shall be increased by $7.38 for every $1 of additional Rental Increase
allocated to the Stop & Shop Guaranteed Lease at such Bradlees Property; (ii)

which contains a Stop & Shop Guaranteed Lease which has all or a portion of the
Rental Increase allocated to it, (ii) the Rental Increase with respect to such
Bradlees Property is not (in connection with such Release) being reallocated
pursuant to (c) above, and (iii) Mortgagor has paid the amount required pursuant
to this Mortgage in order to obtain such Release of such Bradlees Property, the
portion of Rental Increase allocated to the Stop & Shop Guaranteed Lease at such
Bradlees Property being Released may be reallocated, in accordance with the
terms of the Stop & Shop Guaranty, to a Stop & Shop Guaranteed Lease at any
Bradlees Property whether or not such Bradlees Property is subject to the lien
of this Mortgage (and if such Bradlees Property is subject to the lien of this
Mortgage there shall be no adjustment in the Allocated Amount with respect to
such Bradlees Property as a result of such reallocation or any further
reallocation of such portion of the Rental Increase).

have been (or are being at the time of such transfer) released in accordance
with clause (e) of this Section 3.7.

or cause to be paid all rents, additional rents and other sums required to be
paid by Mortgagor, as tenant, under and pursuant to the provisions of the Ground
Leases on or before the date on which such rent or other charge is due, (ii) use
all reasonable efforts to perform and observe, or cause to be performed and
observed, all of the material terms, covenants and conditions of the Ground
Leases, to be performed and observed by Mortgagor as tenant thereunder, prior to
the expiration of any applicable grace period therein provided, (iii) promptly
notify Mortgagee of the receipt of any notice by Mortgagor from any ground
lessor or lessor under the Ground Leases of any default by Mortgagor, as tenant
thereunder, and promptly deliver to Mortgagor a true copy of each such notice.
(b) Mortgagor covenants that it shall not, without Mortgagee's prior
written consent, (i) surrender any of the leasehold estates created by the
Ground Leases or terminate or cancel any of the Ground Leases, (ii) modify,
change, supplement, alter or amend any of the Ground Leases, in any respect,
either orally or in writing, in any manner that materially impairs the
collateral value of any of the leaseholds created by the Ground Leases or in any
manner that would be materially adverse to Mortgagee. Mortgagor hereby assigns
to Mortgagee, as further security for the payment and performance of the Secured
Obligations and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of this
Mortgage, all of the rights, privileges and prerogatives of Mortgagor, as tenant
under the Ground Leases and to the extent permitted thereunder, following the
occurrence of an Event of Default thereunder, to surrender the leasehold estates
created by the Ground Leases or to terminate, cancel, modify, change,
supplement, alter or amend the Ground Leases, and, to the extent permitted under
the Ground Leases, any such surrender of the leasehold estates created by the
Ground Leases or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement,
alteration or amendment of the Ground Leases not permitted pursuant to the
foregoing terms of this Section 3.7(b) shall be void and of no force and effect.
(c) Mortgagor hereby represents and warrants that:
(i) the Ground Leases permit the interest of each of the lessees
thereunder to be encumbered by this Mortgage and do not restrict the use
of the related Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a
-50-
<PAGE> 62
manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by
this Mortgage;
(ii) the Ground Leases are not subject to any liens or encumbrances
superior to, or of equal priority with, this Mortgage (other than the
related ground lessor's fee interest); there is no mortgage or Lien
encumbering the related ground lessor's fee interest (other than this
Mortgage or, if any such mortgage or Lien exists, it is subordinate to the
Lien held by Mortgagee under this Mortgage), and the Ground Leases shall
remain prior to any mortgage or other Lien upon the related fee interests
that may hereafter be granted; and
(iii) on the date hereof, the Ground Leases are in full force and
effect and no default has occurred under the Ground Leases nor, to the
best of Mortgagor's knowledge, is there any existing condition which, but
for the passage of time or the giving of notice, would result in a default
under the terms of the Ground Leases.
4. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS, SHORING. The Mortgagor will keep, or
cause to be kept, the Premises and the parking areas, sidewalks, curbs and
streets and ways located on the Land and all other means of access to the
Premises in good and clean order and condition such that the utility and
operation of the Premises will not be affected in any material adverse respect,
subject to ordinary wear and tear, and, subject to Excusable Delays and the
provisions set forth in this Mortgage with respect to damage or destruction
caused by fire or other casualty or by a Taking, the Mortgagor will promptly
make or cause to be made all necessary or appropriate repairs, replacements and
renewals thereof (which if not made would affect the utility or operation of the
Premises in any material adverse respect), whether interior or exterior,
structural or nonstructural, ordinary or extraordinary. All repairs and
replacements shall consist of materials which are compatible with the existing
Improvements and installed in a good and workmanlike manner. The Mortgagor will
do or will use reasonable efforts to cause others to do (where such is the
responsibility of a third party), both to the extent permitted by applicable
law, all shoring of foundations and walls (i) of any Improvements or (ii) of the
ground adjacent thereto, and every other act necessary or appropriate for the
preservation and safety of the Premises by reason of or in connection with any
excavation or other building operation upon the Land or any adjoining property,
whether or not
-51-
<PAGE> 63
the Mortgagor or any other Person shall, by any Legal Requirement, be required
to take such action or be liable for failure to do so. Subject (to the extent
applicable) to the provisions of Article 12 relating to permitted contests, the
Mortgagor will not do or permit any act or thing which might affect the utility
or operation of the Properties or any part thereof in any material adverse
respect, or commit or permit any waste of the Properties or any part thereof.
5. UTILITY SERVICES. Subject to the provisions of Article 12 hereof,
the Mortgagor will pay or cause to be paid when due all charges for all public
or private utility services, all public or private highway services, all public
or private communication services and all sprinkler systems and protective
services at any time rendered to or in connection with the Properties or any
part thereof and which are incurred by or on behalf of the Mortgagor.
6. NO CLAIMS AGAINST MORTGAGEE. Nothing contained in this Mortgage
shall constitute any consent or request by the Mortgagee, express or implied,
for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials
or other property in respect of the Properties or any part thereof, nor as
giving the Mortgagor any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the
performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other
property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against the
Mortgagee in respect thereof or any claim that any lien based on the performance
of such labor or services or the furnishing of any such materials or other
property is prior to the interest of the Mortgagee under this Mortgage.
7. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE MORTGAGOR. Subject to the provisions of
Article 38 hereof and Section 6.1 of the Indenture, the Mortgagor will protect,
indemnify and save harmless the Mortgagee (which shall include the Trustee upon
execution and delivery of the Assignment) the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer and the Holders (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and
against: all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of
action, costs and expenses (including all reason able attorneys' fees and
expenses) imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against the Indemnified
Parties or any of the Properties (without, as to both, the wilful misconduct or
gross negligence of any of them) by reason of the occurrence or existence of any
of the following (to the extent the insurance proceeds payable on account of the
following and received by the Mortgagee shall be inadequate) prior to the
payment in full of the Mortgage Notes and the satisfaction
-52-
<PAGE> 64
of all conditions for the satisfaction and release or defeasance of this
Mortgage: (a) ownership or possession of the Mortgagor's interest in the
Properties, or any interest therein, or receipt of any rent or other sum
therefrom, (b) any accident, injury to or death of any Persons or loss of or
damage to property occurring on or about the Premises or any part thereof or the
adjoining parking areas, sidewalks, curbs, vaults and vault space, if any,
streets or ways, (c) any use, non-use or condition of the Premises or any part
thereof or the adjoining parking areas, sidewalks, curbs, streets or ways,
including claims or penalties arising from violation of any Legal Requirement or
Insurance Requirement, as well as any claim based on any patent or latent
defect, whether or not discoverable by the Mortgagee, any claim the insurance as
to which is inadequate, and any claim in respect of any adverse environmental
impact or effect, (d) any failure on the part of the Mortgagor to perform or
comply with any of the terms of this Mortgage, any Lease or any other Mortgage
Security Document to which it is a party, (e) any performance of any labor or
services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the
Property or any part thereof, (f) any negligence or tortious act or omission on
the part of the Mortgagor or any of its agents, contractors, servants,
employees, sublessees, licensees or invitees, (g) any contest referred to in
Article 12, (h) the presence at or under the Premises or the migration from or
release upon the Premises of any pollutant or hazardous or toxic substance,
waste or material or oil or petroleum product, in violation of any Legal
Requirement, or (i) breach of the covenants contained in Section 3.1. The
Indemnified Party shall give notice to the Mortgagor of any claims, liabilities,
obligations, damages, penalties, costs or causes of action for which the
Indemnified Party believes it is entitled to indemnification hereunder promptly
upon its discovery of the action or event giving rise to such claim, but the
failure of such Indemnified Party to provide such notice shall neither cause the
forfeiture of the right to receive indemnity hereunder nor limit such right
except to the extent, if any, that the Mortgagor is prejudiced by the failure of
the Indemnified Party to promptly give such notice. Any amounts payable under
this Section to the Indemnified Parties which are not paid within ten Business
Days after written demand therefor by the Indemnified Parties, setting forth in
reasonable detail the amount of such demand and the basis therefor, shall bear
interest from the date of demand until paid at the Default Rate, and shall be
secured by this Mortgage. In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought
against the Indemnified Parties by reason of any such occurrence, the Mortgagor,
upon the request of the Indemnified Parties, will (or at the option
-53-
<PAGE> 65
of the Mortgagor, the Mortgagor may) at the Mortgagor's expense resist and
defend such action, suit or proceeding or will cause the same to be resisted and
defended by counsel for the insurer of the liability or by counsel selected by
the Mortgagor (unless reasonably disapproved by the Indemnified Parties). So
long as the Mortgagor is resisting and defending such action, suit or proceeding
as provided above in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner, none of the
Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to settle such action, suit or proceeding
or claim the benefit of this Article 7 with respect to such action, suit or
proceeding (including the right to reimbursement of such Indemnified Parties'
counsel fees and expenses) and the Indemnified Parties agree that they will not
settle any such action, suit or proceeding without the consent of the Mortgagor;
provided that if the Mortgagor is not diligently defending such action, suit or
proceeding in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner as provided above,
the Mortgagee or any Holder may settle such action, suit or proceeding subject
only to the consent of the Mortgagor, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, and claim the benefit of this Article 7 with respect to
settlement of such action, suit or proceeding.
8. INSPECTION. The Mortgagee and its authorized representatives may
at all reasonable times and upon reason able notice and accompanied by an agent
of the Mortgagor enter and examine each of the Properties, subject to the rights
of tenants, and will use reasonable efforts not to interfere with operation of
the Properties. The Mortgagee shall not inspect the Premises on other than a
Business Day except in the case of an emergency. The Mortgagee shall not have
any duty to make any such inspection and shall not have any liability or
obligation for making or not making any such inspection.
9. PAYMENT OF IMPOSITIONS, ETC. Subject to the provisions of Article
12 relating to permitted contests, the Mortgagor will pay, or cause to be paid,
before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added for such nonpayment, all
real estate taxes, assessments, fees, taxes on rents or rentals, and other
governmental charges that may be levied or assessed against the Properties or
the Mortgagor with respect to the Properties or rents therefrom or which become
liens upon the Properties (collectively, "Impositions"). The Mortgagor shall not
be required to pay any income, excess profits or revenue tax, excise tax or
inheritance tax, gift tax, franchise tax, corporation tax, capital levy, estate
succession or other similar tax or charge that may be payable by or chargeable
to the Mortgagee, any interest,
-54-
<PAGE> 66
fines, costs, additions to tax or penalties in respect thereof, unless such tax
is imposed, levied or assessed in substitution for any Impositions that the
Mortgagor is required to pay pursuant to this Article 9 as set forth in Article
45 hereof.
10. COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL AND INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS, INSTRUMENTS.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Article 12 relating to permitted contests, the
Mortgagor will promptly, subject to Excusable Delays, (i) comply, or cause
compliance, with all Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements before the
expiration of any applicable extension or grace period, whether or not
compliance therewith shall require structural changes in the Improvements or
interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Properties or any part thereof, (ii)
procure, maintain and comply with, all permits, licenses and other
authorizations required by Legal Requirements to be complied with for any use
then being made of the Premises or any part thereof, and for the proper
operation and maintenance of the Improvements and the Equipment or any part
thereof, and (iii) comply with applicable duties or obligations under any
instruments of record at the time in force binding upon, and enforceable
against, the Mortgagor or the Properties or any part thereof; provided that it
shall not be a Default hereunder if it shall be the obligation of a Tenant to
comply with any Legal Requirement, procure, maintain or comply with any such
permit, license or other authorization or comply with such duties or obligations
so long as the Mortgagor promptly after receiving actual notice of any
noncompliance commences and diligently pursues its rights against such Tenant
and uses its diligent efforts to cause such Tenant to comply with such Legal
Requirement or maintain or comply with such permit, license or other
authorization or comply with such duties or obligations within a reasonable time
and the failure to comply with the requirement in question does not subject the
Mortgagee to any of the risks described in clause (b) or (c) of Article 12
hereof and does not impair the validity of any insurance required to be
maintained by the Mortgagor under Article 13 hereof or the right to full payment
of any claims thereunder. The Mortgagor shall pay all fines, penalties, interest
and costs imposed as a result of any failure of the Mortgagor to perform its
obligations under this Article 10.
(b) The Mortgagor covenants and agrees (i) to perform punctually all
material obligations and agreements to be performed by it as lessor under any
Lease or under any Permitted Exception or any management agreement, such that
there will be no material and adverse impairment of the
-55-
<PAGE> 67
value of any of the Properties or the Mortgagee's interest under this Mortgage,
and (ii) to do all things necessary or appropriate in the ordinary course of its
business, to compel performance by each other party to each of such instruments
of such other party's obligations and agreements thereunder. The Mortgagor will
maintain the validity, perfection, priority and effectiveness of this Mortgage
and the other Mortgage Security Documents, and will not take any action, will
not permit action to be taken by others and will not omit to take any action,
nor, except as permitted by Section 3.2(f) or Section 20 hereof, will the
Mortgagor give any notice, approval or consent or exercise any rights under or
in respect of any Lease or any of such other instruments, which action,
omission, notice, approval, consent or exercise of rights would release any
Tenant or other party from, or reduce any Tenant's or any other party's
obligations or liabilities under, or would result in the termination, surrender
or assignment of, or the amendment or modification of in any material adverse
respect, or would impair the validity of, any Lease, any of such other
instruments, this Mortgage or any of the other Mortgage Security Documents
(other than as expressly permitted by Section 3.2(f) or Section 20 hereof), if
any of the foregoing would affect any of the Properties in any material adverse
respect, without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee, and any attempt to
do any of the foregoing without such consent shall be of no force and effect.
(c) The Mortgagor represents that it has not received any written
notice of any violation which remains uncured, and that it has no actual
knowledge, of any material respect in which it or the Premises is, on the date
hereof, in violation of any Legal Requirement (including violations with respect
to the presence, use, storage or handling of any Hazardous Substances released
upon or migrating from any of the Properties) or Insurance Requirement or of any
agreement binding upon the Mortgagor or any of the Properties that has not been
disclosed to the Rating Agencies and the Mortgagee.
11. LIENS. Subject to the provisions of Article 12 relating to
permitted contests and Section 19.3 relating to permitted indebtedness, the

created or to remain, and will discharge or promptly cause to be bonded or
discharged by bonding (in the form of Cash or a Letter of Credit), payment,
final order of a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, but in any event
within forty-five Business Days after receiving written notice of the filing
thereof, any mortgage, deed of trust, lien,
-56-
<PAGE> 68
encumbrance or charge upon, pledge of, or conditional sale or other title
retention agreement with respect to, the Properties or any part thereof, other
than the Permitted Exceptions.
12. PERMITTED CONTESTS. Anything to the contrary contained herein
notwithstanding, the Mortgagor at its expense may contest, by appropriate legal,
administrative or other proceedings conducted in good faith and with due
diligence, the amount or validity or application, in whole or in part, of any
Imposition or lien therefor or any Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement or
any taxes, assessments, charges or other amounts required to be paid pursuant to
the provisions of Section 3.5 or Article 5 hereof, or the application of any
instrument of record affecting any of the Properties or any part thereof (other
than the Mortgage Security Documents) or any claims or judgments of mechanics,
materialmen, suppliers or vendors or any lien therefor, and may withhold payment
of the same pending such proceedings if permitted by law; provided that (a) in
the case of any Impositions or lien therefor or any claims or judgments of
mechanics, materialmen, suppliers or vendors or any lien therefor, such
proceedings shall suspend the collection thereof from the Mortgagor, the
Mortgagee and the affected Property, (b) neither such Property nor any part
thereof or interest therein would be in any danger of being sold, forfeited or
lost if the Mortgagor pays the amount or satisfies the condition being
contested, and the Mortgagor would have the opportunity to so pay or satisfy,
and shall do so, if required, in the event of the Mortgagor's failure to prevail
in the contest, (c) in the case of an Insurance Requirement, the failure of the
Mortgagor to comply there with shall not impair the validity of any insurance
required to be maintained by the Mortgagor under Article 13 or the right to full
payment of any claims thereunder, (d) in the case of taxes, if an amount can be
contested without being paid, the Mortgagor shall escrow with the Mortgagee (to
be held and invested by the Mortgagee in accordance with Section 6.14 of the
Indenture) the amount being contested for so long as such amount is due and
payable and unpaid, (e) in the case of any service described in Article 5, any
contest or failure to pay will not result in a discontinuance of any such
service, (f) in the case of any instrument of record affecting any Property or
any part thereof, the contest or failure to perform under any such instrument
shall not result in the placing of any lien on such Property or any part thereof
unless such lien is bonded or otherwise discharged in accordance with Section 11
and (g) except to the extent the Mortgagor has provided sufficient Cash, Credit
Facility or Eligible Collateral
-57-
<PAGE> 69
therefor, neither the failure to pay or perform any obligation which the
Mortgagor is permitted to contest under this Section 12 nor an adverse
determination of any such contest shall result in a material adverse effect on
the utility, value or operation of any of the Properties.

if such report shall not be available after the Mortgagor shall have used its
reasonable efforts to provide the same, the Mortgagor will deliver to the
Mortgagee an Officers' Certificate containing the information to be provided in
such report).
13.6. Separate Insurance. The Mortgagor will not take out separate
insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that
required to be maintained pursuant to this Article 13 unless such insurance
complies with Section 13.2.
14. ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS, ETC. (a) The Mortgagor will not make
or permit any demolition, alteration, installation, addition, improvement,
decoration or new construction (excluding Expansion Space) (an "Alteration") to
the Premises of any Property unless undertaken in accordance with the applicable
provisions of this Mortgage, the Mortgage Security Documents, the Reciprocal
Operating Agreements and the Leases and unless no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a result of such action (except in
the case that the Alteration is required to cure the Event of
-60-
<PAGE> 72
Default). Any Alteration which involves an estimated cost of more than
$1,000,000 shall be conducted under the supervision of an Architect and, if to
be undertaken by Mortgagor, shall be undertaken only after ten days after there
shall have been filed with the Mortgagee, for information purposes only and not
for approval by the Mortgagee, detailed plans and specifications and cost
estimates therefor, prepared by such Architect. Such plans and specifications
may be revised at any time and from time to time provided that material
revisions of such plans and specifications are delivered to the Mortgagee, for
information purposes only, together with the written approval thereof by such
Architect. All work done in connection with any Alteration shall be performed
with due diligence in a good and workmanlike manner, all materials used in
connection with any Alteration shall be not less than the standard of quality of
the materials currently used at the Premises and all work shall be performed and
all materials used in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements and
Insurance Requirements. The cost of any Alteration shall be promptly and fully
paid for by the Mortgagor or the Tenant performing the Alteration, subject to
the Mortgagor's right to contest any amount claimed to be due in accordance with
the provisions in Article 12 of this Mortgage.
(b) The Mortgagor may make, or cause or permit to be made, without
the prior consent of the Mortgagee, Alterations to the Premises which would not
materially and adversely affect the fair market value of any of the Properties
or materially and adversely affect the ability of the Mortgagor to pay its
obligations when due under the Mortgage Notes. Any other Alterations shall
require the prior consent of the Mortgagee.
(c) Builder's risk insurance (in completed value form, with, if
applicable, an endorsement for off-site storage of materials) and public
liability insurance, including bodily injury and property damage liability and
comprehensive general liability insurance in accordance with clause (b) of
Exhibit E hereto, shall be maintained or caused to be maintained by the
Mortgagor at all times during which any Alteration estimated by the Mortgagor to
cost more than $1,000,000 is in progress. The insurance provided for in this
Section 14(c) shall be in addition to the insurance required to be maintained
pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) of Exhibit E hereto and may be effected by an
appropriate endorsement, if obtainable, upon the policy or policies of insurance
referred to in Section 13.1 hereof. All insurance provided for in this Section
14(c) shall be effected under a
-61-
<PAGE> 73
valid and enforceable policy or policies issued by insurers which meet the
requirements set forth in Exhibit E hereto, and, prior to the commencement of
any Alteration which is reasonably estimated by the Mortgagor to cost more than
$1,000,000, the Mortgagor will furnish to the Mortgagee certificates in respect
of such insurance in the form described in the first sentence of Section 13.3
hereof and either a report of an insurance broker or an Officers' Certificate
containing a statement of the insurance effected by the Mortgagor pursuant to
this Section 14(c) and then in force and stating that the insurance then in
force complies with the covenants in this Section 14(c).
(d) No Alteration shall be performed by or on behalf of the
Mortgagor at any of the Properties if the costs thereof, when combined with the
costs of any other Alterations at another of the Properties then outstanding, as
reasonably estimated by an Architect, which are due and payable and unpaid
exceed the Threshold Amount (taking into account any other Alterations being
undertaken by a Mortgagor at the time and/or collateralized by Mortgagor
pursuant to this subsection (d)) unless (1) (x) Cash, (y) a Credit Facility
and/or (z) Eligible Collateral in an amount not less than the excess of (A) the
lesser of (I) such due and payable and unpaid costs and (II) the Architect's
estimate of the cost, if work on the Alterations were to be terminated on such
date, to restore the Premises to the extent necessary so that, as restored,
there would be no material adverse effect on the value of the Premises as a
whole over (B) the Threshold Amount has been provided to Mortgagee to ensure the
completion of such Alterations or (2) Mortgagor obtains a construction bond
covering the cost of the Alteration (as reasonably determined by the Mortgagor,
in consultation with a licensed or registered architect or engineer) from an
entity having a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least AAA from Moody's and
AAA from DCR, or, if not rated by DCR, then an equivalent rating by one
additional NRSRO or (iii) obtains a completion guaranty from an entity having a
long-term unsecured debt rating of at least AAA from Moody's and AAA from DCR or
if not so rated by DCR than an equivalent rating by one additional NRSRO. Costs
which are subject to retainage shall be treated as due and payable and unpaid
from the date they would be due and payable but for their characterization as
subject to retainage. In the event that any Alteration shall be made in
conjunction with any Restoration with respect to which the Mortgagor shall be
entitled to withdraw Proceeds pursuant to Section 15.2 hereof, the amount of the
Cash, Credit Facility or Eligible Collateral to be furnished pursuant hereto
need not exceed the aggregate cost of such
-62-
<PAGE> 74
Restoration and such Alteration (as estimated by the Architect) less the sum of
the amount of any Proceeds which the Mortgagor may be entitled to withdraw
pursuant to Section 15.2 hereof and the Threshold Amount (adjusted as described
above). The Architect shall deliver to the Mortgagee a schedule setting forth
the projected stages of completion of the Alteration and the corresponding
amounts equal to such completion. Any Cash or Eligible Collateral which the
Mortgagor shall deliver pursuant hereto shall be invested by the Mortgagee as
provided in Section 6.14 of the Indenture consistent with the projected
completion of the Alteration. From time to time as the Alteration progresses,
the amount of any Cash or Eligible Collateral so furnished may be withdrawn by
the Mortgagor and paid or otherwise applied by or returned to the Mortgagor in
an amount equal to the amount the Mortgagor would be entitled to so withdraw if
Section 15.2 hereof were applicable, and any Credit Facility so furnished may be
reduced by the Mortgagor in an amount equal to the amount the Mortgagor would be
entitled to so reduce if Section 15.2 hereof were applicable. At any time after
substantial completion of any Alteration in respect whereof Cash, a Credit
Facility or Eligible Collateral was deposited pursuant hereto, the whole balance
of any Cash so deposited with the Mortgagee and then remaining on deposit may be
withdrawn by the Mortgagor and shall be paid by the Mortgagee to the Mortgagor,
and any Cash, Credit Facility or Eligible Collateral so deposited shall, to the
extent it has not been called upon, reduced or theretofore released, be released
by the Mortgagee to the Mortgagor, within ten (10) days after receipt by the
Mortgagee of an application for such withdrawal and/or release together with an
Officers' Certificate, and signed also (as to clause (1) of this Section) by the
Architect, setting forth in substance as follows:
(1) that the Alteration in respect of which such Cash, Credit
Facility or Eligible Collateral was deposited, has been substantially
completed in all material respects in accordance with any plans and
specifications therefor previously filed with the Mortgagee under Section
14(a) hereof;
(2) that to the best knowledge of the certifying Person all amounts
which the Mortgagor is or may become liable to pay in respect of such
Alteration through the date of the certification have been paid in full or
adequately provided for or are being contested in accordance with Article
12 hereof and, to the extent that such are customary and reasonably
obtainable by prudent managers in the metropolitan area where the
-63-
<PAGE> 75
Premises are located and the Mortgagor is not contesting payment in
accordance with Article 12 hereof, that lien waivers have been obtained
from the general contractor and major subcontractors performing such
Alterations;
(3) that to the best knowledge of the certifying Person such
Alteration has not been performed in violation of any Legal Requirement
and will not result in the loss of any certificate of occupancy;
(4) that to the best knowledge of the certifying Person the affected
Property, after giving effect to such Alteration, can be used for the
purpose for which it was intended; and
(5) that to the best knowledge of the certifying Person no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing.
15. DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION AND RESTORATION.
15.1. The Mortgagor to Give Notice. In case of any damage to or
destruction of the Premises of any Property or any part thereof for any reason
(which shall include earthquake for all purposes under this Mortgage), the
Restoration of which is reasonably estimated to cost more than $2,000,000, the
Mortgagor will promptly give written notice thereof to the Mortgagee, generally
describing the nature and extent of such damage or destruction.
15.2. Application of Insurance Proceeds. If no Event of Default or a
Default of any monetary obligation under the Mortgage Notes shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Mortgagee consents to the direct payment to the Mortgagor
of Proceeds up to an amount (the "Casualty/Condemnation Threshold Amount") equal
to the lesser of (x) $2 million with respect to each Property and (y) an amount
that, when aggregated with other then-unapplied casualty insurance proceeds
(other than Proceeds paid in respect of the insurance described in clause (d) of
Exhibit E hereto) or condemnation awards received in respect of all of the
Properties, equals 5% of the aggregate initial Allocated Amounts of all
Properties which at the time are subject to the Lien of this Mortgage, paid on
account of any damage to or destruction of the Premises at one or more
Properties subject to the interest of the Mortgagee therein under this Mortgage
and the provisions hereof. The Mortgagor hereby irrevocably assigns to the
Mortgagee as additional security, all Proceeds payable on account of any
-64-
<PAGE> 76
damage to or destruction of all or any part of the Premises, and agrees to the
payment to the Mortgagee of all such Proceeds in excess of the
Casualty/Condemnation Threshold Amount to be held and invested by the Mortgagee
as the Mortgagor shall direct in accordance with Section 6.14 of the Indenture,
until applied by the Mortgagee in accordance with the terms hereof. The
Mortgagor and the Mortgagee each shall hold all Proceeds received by it pursuant
to this Section (which shall not apply to any Proceeds payable under public
liability insurance and workers' compensation insurance) in trust to be applied
first, to the extent required under this Mortgage, to the cost of Restoration in
accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage (except that Proceeds paid in
respect of the insurance described in clause (d) of Exhibit E hereto shall be
paid into a separate trust account established by the Mortgagee for such purpose
to be applied to payment of amounts due under the Mortgage Notes or otherwise
secured hereby in accordance with the provisions hereof applicable to such
account). The earnings, if any, which accrue from investment of any Proceeds
shall remain in such trust account, less any expenses incurred by the Mortgagee
in investing such Proceeds and less the amounts required by the Mortgagor to pay
income taxes on such earnings as and when due, so long as no Event of Default or
a Default of any monetary obligation under the Mortgage Notes shall have
occurred and be continuing. To the extent that this Mortgage provides for
Proceeds to be held by the Mortgagee and applied to a Restoration (including
Restoration resulting from a Taking as provided in Section 16.2), such Proceeds
shall be paid by the Mortgagee to the Mortgagor at any time or from time to
time, as such Restoration progresses, either to pay or to reimburse the
Mortgagor for expenditures made or then required to be made for Restoration,
including payments to contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, suppliers,
attorneys, engineers, architects or other Persons who have rendered services or
furnished materials for such Restoration, subject to and reflecting customary
retentions reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee pending completion of the
work, and all other costs and expenses actually incurred by the Mortgagor in
connection with such Restoration, upon the receipt by the Mortgagee of an
Officers' Certificate dated not more than 30 days prior to the application for
such withdrawal, requesting such payment or reimbursement and setting forth the
work performed which is the subject of the application, the parties which
performed the work and the actual cost thereof and an Architect's certificate
certifying performance of such work. The Mortgagee will pay to the Mortgagor any
remaining Proceeds held by it after the application of such Proceeds
-65-
<PAGE> 77
to the Restoration and the completion thereof. The Mortgagor will, in good faith
and with due diligence, subject to Excusable Delays, file and prosecute the
Mortgagor's claim for any such Proceeds and, subject to the provisions of this
Section 15.2 relating to the direct payment to the Mortgagor of any Proceeds,
will cause the same to be collected and paid over to the Mortgagee, to be held
and applied in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage. The Mortgagor
hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Mortgagee, in the name of the
Mortgagor as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, to file and prosecute such
claim and to collect and to make receipt for any such payment, and, in the event
the Mortgagor fails so to act or if an Event of Default or a Default of any
monetary obligation under the Mortgage Notes shall have occurred and be
continuing, then in such case the Mortgagee may file such claim and prosecute it
with counsel satisfactory to it at the expense of the Mortgagor. The Mortgagee
shall have the right to approve, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld,
any settlement which might result in any Proceeds in excess of the
Casualty/Condemnation Threshold Amount, and the Mortgagor will deliver or cause
to be delivered to the Mortgagee all instruments reasonably requested by the
Mortgagee to permit such approval. The Mortgagor will pay all costs, fees and
expenses reasonably incurred by the Mortgagee (including all reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses, the fees of insurance experts and adjusters and
the reasonable costs incurred in any litigation or arbitration) in connection
with any damage or destruction to the Premises and seeking and obtaining any
payment on account thereof.
15.3. Restoration. In the event that the damage or destruction does
not constitute a Total Loss, the Mortgagor shall be obligated, at its expense
(whether or not the Proceeds are sufficient for such purpose), to effect the
Restoration of the Premises in accordance with the provisions of the Leases,
subject to Excusable Delays, and shall use all or a portion of such Proceeds to
the extent required, and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Mortgagee shall make such Proceeds available to the Mortgagor
(all such Proceeds to be held by the Mortgagor in trust, to be applied first to
the payment or reimbursement of all costs incurred to effect the Restoration),
for Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage. In the event
of a Total Loss, if the Mortgagor elects to restore the affected Property (or
Properties) the Mortgagor shall cause the Architect to prepare both a cost
estimate and schedule for Restoration of the Premises and to provide such
estimate and schedule to
-66-
<PAGE> 78
the Mortgagee and the Mortgagor. In the event that (i) such schedule indicates
that all the Restoration of the affected Property except for work with a value
not in excess of $2,000,000 per affected Property cannot be completed prior to
the date upon which the insurance described in clause (d) of Exhibit E hereto
(plus any extension thereof obtained in addition to that so required) would be
exhausted (and any Credit Facility delivered in lieu thereof or in addition
thereto would have expired) or (ii) the extent of the damage makes it
impracticable in the Mortgagor's judgment to restore the Premises to
substantially the same condition as existing prior to such casualty, then the
Mortgagor or Mortgagee as applicable shall apply the Proceeds to the prepayment
in full on the next Payment Date (without penalty or Make-Whole Obligation) of
the Allocated Amount pertaining to such Property damaged by the casualty at a
price of par plus accrued and unpaid interest but without any penalty or
Make-Whole Obligation. Upon the payment of the entire Allocated Amount
pertaining to such affected Property, such affected Property shall then be
released from the lien of this Mortgage. If, after a Total Loss, the Mortgagor
is not required to restore the Premises or apply the Proceeds to prepay the
Allocated Amount pertaining to such Property damaged by the casualty pursuant to
the preceding sentence, the Mortgagor or Mortgagee as applicable shall apply the
Proceeds, at the option of the Mortgagor (to be exercised by the Mortgagor
giving notice thereof to the Mortgagee, but to be exercised only in accordance
with the Mortgagor's obligations regarding restoration under the Leases) to
either (i) the Restoration of the Premises in accordance with the provisions
hereof, or (ii) the prepayment (without penalty or Make-Whole Obligation) on the
next Payment Date of the Allocated Amount pertaining to such Property damaged by
the casualty and, in connection therewith, upon the prepayment of a sum equal to
the entire Allocated Amount, such Property shall then be released from the lien
of this Mortgage. In the event the Mortgagor is required or elects to apply the
Proceeds to prepay the Allocated Amount pertaining to such Property damaged by
the casualty (without penalty or Make-Whole Obligation), any Proceeds remaining
after such prepayment shall be first applied to an additional prepayment of the
Mortgage Notes (without penalty or Make-Whole Obligation) in an amount equal to
the lesser of (x) such remaining Proceeds and (y) an amount such that the total
amount prepaid by the Mortgagor equals 125% of the Allocated Amount of the
affected Property. Any additional Proceeds remaining after such prepayment shall
be paid to the Mortgagor or as it may direct in writing. In the event that the
Proceeds are insufficient to prepay the Allocated Amount pertaining to such
Property damaged by the casualty
-67-
<PAGE> 79
(without penalty or Make-Whole Obligation) and to obtain the release of such
Property from the lien of this Mortgage, after the Mortgagor elects to so apply
the Proceeds, the Mortgagor shall continue to be obligated, subject to the
provisions of Article 38 hereof, to pay immediately the amount of such
insufficiency to the Mortgagee until such amount is satisfied. In the event the
Mortgagor is obligated or elects to effect Restoration of the Premises, the
Mortgagor shall promptly commence and complete the Restoration of the Premises
in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage, subject to Excusable Delays,
and any Proceeds remaining after completion of such Restoration and delivery of
the Officers' Certificate required under Section 14(d) hereof shall be paid to
the Mortgagor or as it may direct in writing.
Any prepayment of the Mortgage Notes made pursuant to this Article
15 shall be applied to the Mortgage Notes in the following order of priority:
first, to the Class A-1 Mortgage Note until the Class A-1 Mortgage Note has been
paid in full; second, to the Class A-2 Mortgage Note until the Class A-2
Mortgage Note has been paid in full; third, to the Class B Mortgage Note until
the Class B Mortgage Note has been paid in full; fourth, to the Class C Mortgage
Note until the Class C Mortgage Note has been paid in full; fifth, to the Class
D Mortgage Note until the Class D Mortgage Note has been paid in full; sixth, to
the Class E Mortgage Note until the Class E Mortgage Note has been paid in full;
and seventh, to the Class F Mortgage Note until the Class F Mortgage Note has
been paid in full.
16. TAKING OF PROPERTY.
16.1. The Mortgagor to Give Notice; Assignment of Awards, etc. In
case of a Taking of all or any part of the Premises of any Property, or the
commencement of any proceedings or negotiations which might result in any such
Taking, the Mortgagor will promptly give written notice thereof to the
Mortgagee, generally describing the nature and extent of such Taking or the
nature of such proceedings or negotiations and the nature and extent of the
Taking which might result therefrom. As additional security, the Mortgagor
hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers and sets over to the Mortgagee, subject to
the provisions of this Mortgage, all rights of the Mortgagor to any Proceeds on
account of any Taking, subject to the provisions of this Mortgage with respect
to the use and application of any such Proceeds and provided that in the case of
an amount of such Proceeds which is not more than the Casualty/Condemnation
Threshold Amount if no Event of Default or a Default of any
-68-
<PAGE> 80
monetary obligation under the Mortgage Notes shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Mortgagor shall have the right to receive direct payment of such
Proceeds, to be held and applied to the Restoration in accordance with the
provisions of this Mortgage (all such Proceeds to be held by the Mortgagor in
trust, to be applied first to the payment or reimbursement of all costs incurred
to effect the Restoration). If the amount of Proceeds is reasonably estimated by
the Mortgagor to exceed the Casualty/ Condemnation Threshold Amount, the
settlement of any such proceeding and the amount of Proceeds payable in respect
thereof shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Mortgagee; provided
that no such approval shall be required if the Proceeds shall be sufficient to
prepay (without penalty or Make-Whole Obligation) the Allocated Amount
pertaining to such Property and the Mortgagor is permitted and has elected to do
so. The Mortgagor will in good faith and with due diligence, subject to
Excusable Delays, file and prosecute the Mortgagor's claim for any such Proceeds
and, subject to the provisions of the second sentence of this Section 16.1, will
cause the same to be collected and paid over to the Mortgagee, to be held and
applied in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage. The Mortgagor hereby
irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Mortgagee, in the name of the Mortgagor
as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, to file and prosecute such claim (with
counsel satisfactory to it at the expense of the Mortgagor) and to collect and
to make receipt for any such award or payment in the event the Mortgagor fails
so to act or if an Event of Default or a Default of any monetary obligation
under the Mortgage Notes shall have occurred and be continuing. The Mortgagee
shall have the right to approve, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld,
any settlement which may result in any Taking which might result in an award in
excess of the Casualty/Condemnation Threshold Amount, and the Mortgagor will
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Mortgagee all instruments reasonably
requested by it to permit such approval. The Mortgagor will pay all costs, fees
and expenses reasonably incurred by the Mortgagee (including all reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses, the fees of insurance experts and adjusters and
the reasonable costs incurred in any litigation or arbitration) in connection
with any Taking and seeking and obtaining any award or payment on account
thereof.
16.2. Partial Taking. In case of a Taking of any of the Properties
other than a Total Taking with respect to such Property, the Mortgagor shall be
obligated, at its expense (whether or not the Proceeds shall be sufficient for
such purpose, but subject to the provisions of Article 38
-69-
<PAGE> 81
hereof) to effect Restoration of the Premises of any such Property in accordance
with the provisions of the Leases and this Mortgage, subject to Excusable
Delays.
16.3. Application of Awards, etc. All Proceeds received by or
payable to the Mortgagee on account of a Taking shall be held and invested by
the Mortgagee until applied by the Mortgagee as follows:
(a) All Proceeds (excluding the Proceeds on account of a Taking for
temporary use) other than Proceeds received on account of a Total Taking shall
be applied to the Restoration of the Premises as if such Proceeds were Proceeds
of a casualty to be applied pursuant to Section 15.2, and after the completion
of the Restoration of the Premises, any balance of the Proceeds remaining shall
next be applied on the Payment Date following such completion as a prepayment
(without penalty or Make-Whole Obligation) of the Allocated Amount pertaining to
the affected Property. To the extent that, subsequent to Restoration, the
remaining Proceeds of a Taking (excluding the proceeds on account of a Taking
for temporary use or proceeds which are not in respect of a diminution in value
of the Premises) are sufficient to prepay the Allocated Amount pertaining to the
affected Property and are so applied, such Property shall then be released from
the lien of this Mortgage. Any Proceeds of a Taking remaining after such
prepayment shall first be applied to a further prepayment of the Mortgage Notes
(without penalty or Make-Whole Obligation) in an amount equal to the lesser of
(x) such remaining Proceeds and (y) an amount such that the total amount prepaid
by the Mortgagor equals 125% of the Allocated Amount of such affected Property.
The balance of any Proceeds of a Taking, if any, shall be paid over and assigned
to the Mortgagor or as it may direct in writing.
(b) All Proceeds received on account of a Total Taking of any
Property shall be applied to the prepayment (without penalty or Make-Whole
Obligation) on the next Payment Date, to the extent that the Proceeds are
sufficient therefor, of the Allocated Amount pertaining to such Property,
whereupon such Property shall be released from the lien of this Mortgage. Any
Proceeds of a Taking remaining after such prepayment shall first be applied to a
further prepayment of the Mortgage Notes (without penalty or Make-Whole
Obligation) in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) such remaining Proceeds and
(y) an amount such that the total amount prepaid by the Mortgagor equals 125% of
the Allocated Amount of such affected Property. The balance of any Proceeds of a
Taking, if any, shall be paid over and
-70-
<PAGE> 82
assigned to the Mortgagor or as it may direct in writing. In the event that the
Proceeds are insufficient to prepay the Allocated Amount pertaining to such
Property (without penalty or Make-Whole Payment), the Mortgagor shall be
obligated, subject to the provisions of Article 38 hereof, to pay immediately
the amount of such insufficiency to the Mortgagee and upon the payment of the
entire Allocated Amount of such Property, such Property shall be released from
the lien of this Mortgage.
Any prepayment made pursuant to this Article 16 shall be applied to
the Mortgage Notes in the following order of priority: first, to the Class A-1
Mortgage Note until the Class A-1 Mortgage Note has been paid in full; second,
to the Class A-2 Mortgage Note until the Class A-2 Mortgage Note has been paid
in full; third, to the Class B Note until the Class B Mortgage Note has been
paid in full; fourth, to the Class C Mortgage Note until the Class C Mortgage
Note has been paid in full; fifth, to the Class D Mortgage Note until the Class
D Mortgage Note has been paid in full; sixth, to the Class E Mortgage Note until
the Class E Mortgage Note has been paid in full; and seventh, to the Class F
Mortgage Note until the Class F Mortgage Note has been paid in full.
17. EVICTION BY PARAMOUNT TITLE. The Mortgagor, within three
Business Days of obtaining knowledge of the pendency of any proceedings for the
eviction of the Mortgagor from the Premises of any Property or any part thereof
by paramount title or otherwise questioning the Mortgagor's title to the
Premises as warranted in this Mortgage, or of any condition which might
reasonably be expected to give rise to any such proceedings, shall notify the
Mortgagee thereof. The Mortgagee may participate in such proceedings, and the
Mortgagor will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Mortgagee all instruments
reasonably requested by the Mortgagee to permit such participation. In any such
proceeding the Mortgagee may be represented by counsel reasonably satisfactory
to it at the reasonable expense of the Mortgagor. The Mortgagor will pay all
costs, fees and expenses reasonably incurred by the Mortgagee (including all
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, the fees of insurance experts and
adjusters and the reasonable costs incurred in any litigation or arbitration) in
connection with any such proceeding and seeking and obtaining any award or
payment on account thereof.

18. BOOKS AND RECORDS, FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, REPORTS AND OTHER

The Mortgagee and its authorized representatives may, subject to Section 6.6 of
the Indenture, from time to time, designate an agent to examine, at reasonable

Mortgagee and shall be accompanied by an Officers' Certificate of the Mortgagor
certifying that such statements are true and correct in all material respects,
and that the officer signing such certificate has obtained no knowledge of any
Default or Event of Default or, if so, specifying each such Default or Event of
Default and the nature and status thereof and what action the Mortgagor is
taking and proposes to take with respect thereto. Without limitation, any of the
six largest national accounting firms shall be acceptable to Mortgagee.
(b) Not later than forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal
quarter (other than the fourth quarter) the Mortgagor shall prepare and deliver
to the Mortgagee an unaudited balance sheet and statement of income and expenses
relating to the Properties on a consolidated basis for such fiscal quarter and

the Mortgagee or the Rating

19. TRANSFERS AND INDEBTEDNESS. Unless such action is permitted by
the provisions of this Article 19 or the provisions of Section 3.2(c), 3.2(d) or
3.2(f) or Article 20 hereof, the Mortgagor will not (i) sell, assign, convey,
transfer or otherwise dispose of legal or beneficial interests in all or any
part of the Properties, (ii) permit any owner, directly or indirectly, of a
beneficial interest in any of the Properties, to transfer such interest, whether
by transfer of stock or other beneficial interest in any entity, or otherwise,

grant a security interest in any of the Properties, (v) sell, assign, convey,

legal or beneficial interest in the Mortgagor to do the same, or (vi) file a
declaration of condominium with respect to any of the Properties.
19.1. Sale of the Properties. (i) Unless the Mortgagor first obtains
a release of the relevant Property or Properties from the Lien of this Mortgage
in accordance with Article 44 hereof, the Mortgagor shall not sell, assign,
convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of legal or equitable title to or any
interest in all (or any) of the Properties unless after giving effect to the
proposed transaction:
(a) the Properties shall be directly owned by a Single Purpose
Entity (including a tenancy-in-common among Single Purpose Entities
under a tenancy-in-common agreement in substance the same in all
material respects as a partnership agreement of a single-purpose
partnership) which at the time of such transfer will be in
compliance with the covenants contained in Sections 3.3 and 3.4
hereof and which has assumed in writing (subject to the terms of
Article 38 hereof) and agreed to comply with all the terms,
covenants and conditions set forth in this Mortgage, expressly
including the covenants contained in Sections 3.3 and 3.4 hereof,
and each of the other Mortgage Security Documents;
(b) one or more Approved Control Parties shall, individually
or acting in concert, own directly or indirectly at least 51% of,
and
-74-
<PAGE> 86
control, the entity which directly owns the Properties ("control"
meaning, for purposes of this Section 19.1 and Section 19.2, primary
responsibility to make all material decisions with respect to the
operation, management, financing and disposition of the Properties,
rather than a beneficial ownership requirement, and without being
compromised by the fact that responsibility for such day-to-day
operating and management functions as are ordinarily handled by a
property manager or for leasing activities has been delegated by
such controlling Person pursuant to an agreement in writing)
provided, however, that at all times a Vornado Affiliate and/or a
Permitted Owner shall own directly or indirectly at least 51% of,
and control, the entity which directly owns the Properties,
(c) if the Manager and/or an Affiliate of the Manager does not
act as Manager of the Properties and one or more of the Mortgagors
named herein does not own or control the transferee, then the
Manager of the Property must be a reputable and experienced
professional management company, having under management, at the
time of the proposed transfer, at least 20 retail shopping centers
comprising at least 8 million square feet;
(d) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(e) if the transfer results in a transfer of more than 49% of
the direct or indirect ownership interests of any Borrower or
Guarantor, a satisfactory non-consolidation opinion of counsel with
respect to the transferee and the owner of such transferee is
provided to the Mortgagee and the Rating Agencies; and
(f) if the Approval Control Party is an entity other than a
Vornado Affiliate, a Rating Agency Confirmation shall have been
obtained with respect to the proposed transfer.
Any permitted transferee of the Properties shall execute an assumption in the
form of Exhibit F hereto, subject to the provisions of Article 38 hereof, of the
obligations of the Mortgagor under this Mortgage. With respect to any transfer
described in this Section 19.1(i), Mortgagor shall pay to the Servicer an
assumption fee of $5,000.
-75-
<PAGE> 87
(ii) The Mortgagor also may transfer or dispose of Equipment which
is being replaced or which is no longer necessary in connection with the
operation of the Premises or of any Property free from the interest of the
Mortgagee under this Mortgage, provided that such transfer or disposal will not
adversely affect the value of such Property, will not materially impair the
utility of the Premises of such Property, and will not result in a reduction or
abatement of, or right of offset against, the rentals payable under any Lease,
in either case as a result thereof, and provided that any new Equipment acquired
by the Mortgagor (and not so disposed of) shall be subject to the interest of
the Mortgagee under this Mortgage unless leased to the Mortgagor. The Mortgagee
shall, from time to time, upon receipt of an Officers' Certificate requesting
the same and confirming satisfaction of the conditions set forth above, execute
a written instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to it to confirm that such
Equipment which is to be, or has been, sold or disposed of is free from the
interest of the Mortgagee under this Mortgage.
19.2. Transfer or Encumbrance of Interests in the Mortgagor. (i) A
sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, or other disposition or hypothecation or
other encumbrance of a direct or indirect beneficial interest in one or more of
the Mortgagors shall be permitted if (I) the Mortgagee shall have consented
thereto, or (II) after giving effect to the proposed transaction, one or more
Approved Control Parties shall, individually or acting in concert, directly or
indirectly own and control (as defined in Section 19.1) such Mortgagors;
provided, however, that if a transfer is made pursuant to clause (II) hereof
there shall be provided (x) if the transfer results in a transfer of more than
49% of the direct or indirect ownership interests of any Borrower or Guarantor,
a non-consolidation opinion of counsel with respect to such Permitted Owner, and
the applicable Mortgagor, which is satisfactory to the Rating Agencies and (y) a
Rating Agency Confirmation shall have been obtained with respect to the proposed
transfer unless such transfer is to a Vornado Affiliate.
(ii) a hypothecation or other encumbrance of a direct or indirect
beneficial interest in one or more of the Mortgagors or in Vornado Finance shall
be permitted in connection with and to secure a borrowing by the owner of such
direct or indirect interest, provided that a Rating Agency Confirmation shall
have been obtained with respect thereto.
-76-
<PAGE> 88
(iii) Nothing in this Article 19 and no other provision of this
Mortgage or any other Mortgage Security Document shall prohibit or be construed
as prohibiting, conditioning or restricting any shareholder in Vornado or any
partner in VRLP (but only so long as Vornado owns in excess of 50% of VRLP) from
selling, assigning, pledging, hypothecating, conveying, transferring or
otherwise disposing of or encumbering such Person's shares in Vornado or
partnership interests in VRLP, respectively, to any other Person, and no such
transaction shall in and of itself result in any Default hereunder.
19.3. Indebtedness. The Mortgagor shall not incur, create or assume
any indebtedness or incur any liabilities secured by any of the Properties
without the consent of the Mortgagee (other than the Mortgage Notes and the
other obligations, indebtedness and liabilities secured by this Mortgage or set
forth in any other Mortgage Security Document); provided, however, that, without
the consent of the Mortgagee, the Mortgagor may incur, create or assume the
following indebtedness:
(i) amounts, not secured by the Premises of any of the
Properties and that are not more than 60 days past due, payable by or on
behalf of the Mortgagor for or in respect of the operation of any of the
Properties in the ordinary course of operating the Mortgagor's business,
including amounts payable by or on behalf of the Mortgagor to suppliers,
contractors, mechanics, vendors, materialmen or other persons providing
property or services to the Mortgagor or to the Premises of any of the
Properties, or in connection with the ownership, management, operation,
leasing, cleaning, maintenance, repair, replacement, financing,
improvement, alteration or restoration thereof incurred in the ordinary
course of operating the Mortgagor's business (provided, however, that
notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Mortgagor be
permitted under this provision to enter into a note for borrowed money);
(ii) amounts, not secured by the Premises of any of the
Properties, payable or reimbursable to any Tenant on account of work
performed at the Premises of such Property by such Tenant or for costs
incurred by such Tenant in connection with its occupancy of space in the
Premises of such Property including tenant improvements and tenant work
allowances (provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in no
-77-
<PAGE> 89
event shall the Mortgagor be permitted under this provision to enter into
a note for borrowed money);
(iii) indebtedness not secured by any of the Properties (but
which may be secured by the Equipment so financed), relating solely to
financing of capital improvements, tenant improvements, Equipment or
leasing costs relating to any Property or Properties, and costs associated
with such indebtedness;
(iv) capital lease obligations; and
(v) indebtedness not secured by any of the Properties incurred
to finance tenant improvements, Equipment, capital improvements, leasing
costs, or legal or compliance costs;
provided, however, that the indebtedness described in clauses 19.3(i) through
(v) above shall not in the aggregate exceed 4% of the aggregate initial
Allocated Amounts of all Properties which at the time are subject to the Lien of
this Mortgage.
19.4. Intentionally Omitted.
19.5. Notice. Not less than five Business days prior to the closing
of any transaction subject to the provisions of Section 19.1(i) or 19.2(i)
(other than a transaction described in 19.2(ii)), the Mortgagor shall deliver to
the Mortgagee an Officers' Certificate describing the proposed transaction and
stating that such transaction is permitted by this Article 19, together with
such documents upon which such Officers' Certificate is based.
19.6. Delivery of Documents to the Mortgagee. No more than twenty
(20) Business Days after the completion of any transaction subject to Section
19.1(i) or 19.2(i) (other than a transaction described in Section 19.2(ii)), the
Mortgagor shall provide the Mortgagee with copies of executed deeds, mortgages
and such other similar closing documents as may be reasonably requested by the
Mortgagee.
20. PERFORMANCE OF LEASES; APPLICATION OF RENTS. (a) The Mortgagor
shall timely perform and observe or cause to be performed or observed all the
material terms, covenants and conditions required to be performed and observed
by the Mortgagor under the Leases, such that there will be no material and
adverse impairment of the value of any of the Properties or the Mortgagee's
interest under this Mortgage. The Mortgagor will promptly deliver to the
-78-
<PAGE> 90
Mortgagee a copy of any notice from any Tenant under any Lease covering 15,000
or more square feet of rentable area of the Premises of any Property, claiming
that the lessor is materially in default in the performance or observance of any
of the terms, covenants or conditions thereof to be performed or observed by the
lessor, and will provide in each Lease at the Properties after the date hereof
to which it is a party that any Tenant delivering any such notice shall send a
copy of such notice directly to the Mortgagee.
(b) The Mortgagor shall engage, and shall maintain during the term
hereof their engagement of, Vornado, an Affiliate thereof or another
professional management company which manages at least 20 other retail shopping
centers comprising an aggregate of at least 4 million square feet, as the
Manager of the Properties (each, a "Manager"). The Mortgagor shall, or shall
cause the Manager to, manage and operate the Premises of each Property in a
reasonably prudent manner and shall not enter into any Lease after the date
hereof which would, evaluated alone or in conjunction with any then existing
leases, result in any material impairment of the fair market value, as of the
date such Lease is executed by the Mortgagor, of the affected Property. Subject
to subsection (e) of this Section 20, the Mortgagor may enter into any Lease
which is not inconsistent with the provisions of this Article 20 and the other
applicable provisions of this Mortgage, if any, and the Mortgagor agrees to
deliver either a duplicate original executed counterpart or a certified copy of
each Lease to the Mortgagee. Each Lease entered into after the date hereof
(including the renewal or extension on or after the date hereof of any lease
entered into prior to the date hereof if the rent payable during such renewal or
extension, or a formula to compute such rent, is not provided for in such Lease,
such a renewal or extension a "Renewal Lease") either (A) shall provide for rent
and all other material items thereunder to be payable in amounts at least equal
to the fair market rental value (taking into account the type and quality of the
Tenant), as of the date such Lease is executed by the Mortgagor, of the space
covered by such lease or Renewal Lease for the term thereof, including any
renewal options, (B) shall not have a material adverse effect on the value of
any of the Properties as a whole or the ability of the Mortgagor to pay its
obligations in respect of the Mortgage Notes and this Mortgage or (C) shall be
consented to by the Mortgagee.
(c) The Mortgagor may, without the consent of the Mortgagee, amend,
modify or waive the provisions of any Lease, provided that such action does not
have a material
-79-
<PAGE> 91
adverse effect upon the value of any of the Properties, and provided further
that such Lease, as amended, modified or waived, is otherwise in compliance with
the requirements of this Mortgage and a certified copy of the amendment,
modification or waiver is delivered to the Mortgagee.
(d) The Mortgagor may terminate or permit the termination of any
Lease of space or accept surrender of all or any portion of the space demised
under the Lease or acquire any Lease or reduce the rentals reserved under or
shorten the term of any Lease so long as such action (taking into account the
planned alternative uses of the space) does not materially adversely affect the
value of any of the Properties (it being agreed that termination of the Lease of
a Tenant which is in default, after any applicable notice and cure periods,
shall be considered to be for the benefit of the Properties) or the ability of
the Mortgagor to pay its obligations in respect of the Mortgage Notes and this
Mortgage.
(e) After the occurrence and during the continuation of a Triggering
Event (as defined in the Indenture), Mortgagor shall not enter into any lease in
excess of 40,000 square feet without the prior approval of Mortgagee (which such
approval shall be deemed to have been given if Mortgagee does not respond within
twenty (20) days after receipt of such request and the information reasonably
necessary to make such a determination).
(f) No Mortgagor shall enter into any Lease with an Affiliate of
such Mortgagor at any Property, unless (i) the space is for the use and
occupancy of one or more of such Affiliates, and (ii) the material terms of such
Lease comply with the requirements set forth in Section 20(b) hereof; provided,
however, that a reasonable amount of office space not in excess of 5,000 net
leaseable square feet can be provided to each Manager for the purpose of
management of each of the Properties at less than fair market rental or at no
rental, at the Mortgagor's discretion. The Mortgagor shall have the right,
subject to the provisions of this Mortgage, to acquire Leases by way of
assignment, surrender, acquisition or further sublease. The Mortgagor shall not
modify the terms governing the management of any of the Properties in any
respect which would have a materially adverse effect on the operation of, or the
Net Cash Flow generated by, or the value of, the Premises of any Property
without the prior approval of the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor shall not replace the
Manager of any Property with a new Manager without first having obtained a
Rating Agency Confirmation with respect thereto.
-80-
<PAGE> 92
(g) The Mortgagor shall not receive or collect, or permit the
receipt or collection of, any rental or other payments under any Lease more than
one (1) month in advance of the respective period in respect of which they are
to accrue, except that (i) in connection with the execution and delivery of any
Lease or of any amendment to any Lease, rental payments thereunder may be
collected and received in advance in an amount not in excess of one (1) month's
rent and a security deposit (including advance rents as or in lieu of a security
deposit) may be required thereunder (provided that such deposits are maintained
in accordance with applicable law and in accordance with Article 53 hereof), and
(ii) the Mortgagor may receive and collect escalation, percentage rent and other
charges in accordance with the terms of each Lease and (iii) the Mortgagor may
receive and collect more than one month's rent in connection with a Tenant
terminating its Lease if the termination of the Lease is permitted under this
Mortgage.
(h) Subject to the terms of any non-disturbance and attornment
agreement which the Mortgagee may provide to any Tenant pursuant to this
Mortgage, the Mortgagor shall not enter into any Lease after the date hereof
that does not contain terms to the effect as set forth in Exhibit G hereto.
(i) Upon receipt by the Mortgagee of a written request from the
Mortgagor therefor, the Mortgagee shall execute and deliver to the Tenant under
any Lease (other than a Lease to an Affiliate of the Mortgagor) existing on the
date hereof or made in accordance with the provisions of this Article 20, a
non-disturbance and attornment agreement in customary form for the Premises if
required by such Lease and specified in such request, provided that such request
is accompanied by an Officers' Certificate stating that such Lease complies in
all respects with this Mortgage, including specifically this Article 20.
21. NO ENDORSEMENT. The Mortgagee shall not become or be considered
to be an endorser, co-maker or co-obligor on the Mortgage Notes or on any
obligation of the Mortgagor secured by this Mortgage.
22. NO CREDIT FOR PAYMENT OF TAXES OR IMPOSITIONS. The Mortgagor
shall not be entitled to any credit against the principal of or interest or
Make-Whole Obligation, if any, payable on the Mortgage Notes, and the Mortgagor
shall not be entitled to any credit against any other amounts which may become
payable under the terms thereof or hereof, by reason of the payment of any tax
on
-81-
<PAGE> 93
any Property or any part thereof or by reason of the payment of any other
Imposition or other amount required to be paid hereunder. No deduction shall be
made or claimed from the taxable value of any Property or any part thereof by
reason of this Mortgage.
23. EVENT OF DEFAULT; ACCELERATION OF MORTGAGE NOTE. If one or more
of the following events ("Event of Default") shall occur:
(a) a default in the regularly scheduled payment of any principal or
interest required to be paid under the Mortgage Notes by 11:00 a.m., New York
time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding any Payment Date or
failure by Mortgagor to make deposits in the Reserve Accounts as required under
the Cash Management Agreement or Indenture; or
(b) a default in the payment of the principal of any Mortgage Note
at maturity (whether at the Maturity Date, by acceleration, call for prepayment
or otherwise); or
(c) default in the payment of any amounts due and payable (other
than amounts described in the foregoing clause (a) or (b)) under the Mortgage
which continues for a period of fifteen Business Days after written demand by
the Mortgagee for payment thereof; or
(d) an "Event of Default" as defined in any Mortgage Security
Document, the Indenture or the Guaranty Agreement; or
(e) any insurance required to be maintained in respect of the
Premises of any Property pursuant to Article 13 hereof shall be cancelled,
terminated or expire (and replacement insurance or a binding commitment to
provide such replacement insurance complying with the provisions of Article 13
hereof has not been effected prior to such event) or any such insurance shall be
amended or modified so as not to comply with Article 13 hereof, and notice to
the Mortgagor of such cancellation, termination, expiration, amendment or
modification shall have been mailed or otherwise surrendered or released for
delivery to the Mortgagor; or
(f) the Mortgagor shall, directly or indirectly, make or permit to
occur a violation of the covenants contained in Section 3.3 or 3.4 hereof, or a
violation of the covenants contained in Article 11 hereof (subject to the
provisions of Article 12 hereof), or any sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer,
mortgage, pledge, encumbrance or other
-82-
<PAGE> 94
disposition in violation of Article 19 hereof, or incur any indebtedness in
violation of Article 19 hereof;
(g) the Mortgagor shall fail to perform or comply with any of the
material covenants of this Mortgage, including the failure to perform in all
material respects under any ground lease applicable to a Property subject to
applicable notice and cure rights thereunder (other than as described in the
foregoing clauses (a) through (f)), or the Mortgagor shall breach any
representation or warranty made by it in this Mortgage or in any other Mortgage
Security Document, and in any such case, such failure or breach shall continue
for more than thirty (30) Business Days after written notice thereof by the
Mortgagee to the Mortgagor; provided that in the case of any such failure that
is susceptible of cure but that cannot with diligence be cured within such
thirty Business Day period, if the Mortgagor shall promptly have commenced to
cure the same and shall thereafter prosecute the curing thereof with diligence,
subject to Excusable Delays, the period within which such failure may be cured
shall be extended for such further period as shall be reasonably necessary for
the curing thereof with diligence, subject to Excusable Delays; provided,
however, that Mortgagor shall provide a written explanation to Mortgagee
explaining the reasons for requiring such extended cure period; provided,
further, however, that such extended period shall not exceed one hundred eighty
(180) days unless, only in the case of cures which require construction or
remedial work, cure cannot with diligence reasonably be achieved within such one
hundred eighty (180) days and the Mortgagor has delivered an Officers'
Certificate to the Mortgagee to such effect, in which event such period shall be
extended for an additional one hundred eighty (180) days (and provided that cure
of any breach of representation or warranty, and that cure of any failure to
make a delivery, subsequent to the date as of which the representation or
warranty was made or applies, or such delivery was required, shall constitute
cure of such breach, or cure of such failure to make the delivery, provided such
breach or failure has not had a material adverse effect on the interest of the
Mortgagee hereunder); or
(h) intentionally omitted.
(i) the entry by a court having jurisdiction over any Borrower or
Guarantor of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of such Borrower or
Guarantor in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or
state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
-83-
<PAGE> 95
rehabilitation or other similar law or (B) a decree or order adjudging such
Borrower or Guarantor a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a
petition seeking reorganization, rehabilitation, arrangement, adjustment or
composition of or in respect of such Borrower or Guarantor under any applicable
federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, rehabilitation or other
similar law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
sequestrator or other similar official of such Borrower or Guarantor or of any
substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of
its affairs and such decree or order remains undismissed for a period for 60
days; or
(j) the commencement by any Borrower or Guarantor 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 such Borrower or
Guarantor to the entry of a decree or order for relief in any 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 it, or the filing by it of a petition or
answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable federal
or state bankruptcy or similar law, or the consent by it to the filing of such
petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver,
liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of such Borrower
or Guarantor or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of
an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of
its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of
action by such Borrower or Guarantor in furtherance of any such action.
then, in any such event, the Mortgagee, at its option, may, in accordance with
the provisions of Section 5.2 of the Indenture, declare the Mortgage Notes due
and payable and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Mortgagee may
exercise the other remedies provided for herein for an Event of Default;
provided, however, that if an Event of Default described in clause (i) or (j)
occurs, then the Mortgage Notes shall automatically be and become due and
payable immediately without any action whatsoever on the part of the Mortgagee,
and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Mortgagee may exercise such
other remedies as may be available to Mortgagee. If after the occurrence of an
Event of Default, the Mortgage Notes are accelerated prior to the Payment Date
occurring in December 2009, the Mortgagor shall
-84-
<PAGE> 96
pay the Make-Whole Amount with respect to the Mortgage Notes.
Within thirty (30) days after any written request by the Mortgagee
therefor, but no more frequently than once in any twelve month period, the
Mortgagor shall furnish to the Mortgagee an Officers' Certificate, stating that
in the ordinary course of the performance by the officer of the Mortgagor
signing such certificate of his duties he either would normally obtain knowledge
or have made due inquiry as to the existence of any condition or event which
would constitute an Event of Default hereunder or a Default of any monetary
obligation under the Mortgage Notes and certifying that to the best of his
knowledge there is no such condition or event, or if any such condition or event
exists, specifying each such Event of Default or a Default of any monetary
obligation under the Mortgage Notes and the nature and status thereof and what
action the Mortgagor is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.
The Mortgagor acknowledges that the Secured Obligations are secured
by this Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases and various other documents or
instruments securing or evidencing the Mortgage Loan. Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, the Mortgagee shall have the right to institute a proceeding
or proceedings for the total or partial foreclosure of this Mortgage and any or
all of the other Mortgage Security Documents, whether by court action, power of
sale or otherwise, under any applicable provisions of law, for all of the
indebtedness secured by the Mortgage Security Documents or the portion of such
indebtedness allocated to any particular Property, and the liens and the
security interests created by the Mortgage Security Documents shall continue in
full force and effect as to the Property not foreclosed without loss of priority
securing that portion of the indebtedness then due and payable and still
outstanding. The Mortgagor acknowledges that the Properties are located in six
(6) different states and agree that, subject to Article 38 of this Mortgage,
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder the Mortgagee shall be
entitled to enforce payment of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage Security
Documents and the performance of any term, covenant or condition of the Mortgage
Security Documents and exercise any and all rights and remedies under the
Mortgage Security Documents or as provided by law or at equity, by one or more
proceedings, whether contemporaneous, consecutive or both, to be determined by
the Mortgagee in its sole discretion, in any one or more states in which the
Properties are located. Neither the acceptance of this Mortgage or the other
-85-
<PAGE> 97
Mortgage Security Documents nor the enforcement thereof in any one state,
whether by court action, foreclosure, power of sale or otherwise, shall
prejudice or in any way limit or preclude enforcement by court action,
foreclosure, power of sale or otherwise, of the Mortgage Notes, this Mortgage or
the other Mortgage Security Documents through one or more additional proceedings
in that state or in any other state. Any and all sums received by the Mortgagee
under the Mortgage Notes, this Mortgage or the other Mortgage Security Documents
shall be applied toward the repayment of the Secured Obligations in such order
and priority as the Mortgagee shall determine, consistent with the requirements
of the Mortgage Security Documents (including, without limitation, the rights of
the Mortgagor set forth in Section 44 of this Mortgage), but otherwise without
regard to the Allocated Amount applicable to each Property or the appraised
value of any of the Properties.
24. COMPROMISE OF ACTIONS. Any action, suit or proceeding brought by
the Mortgagee pursuant to this Mortgage or otherwise and any claim made by the
Mortgagee under this Mortgage or otherwise may be compromised, withdrawn or
otherwise dealt with by the Mortgagee without notice to or the approval of the
Mortgagor.
25. FORECLOSURE.
25.1. Foreclosure. Subject to Article 38 hereof, if any Event of
Default shall have occurred and the Mortgage Notes shall have been declared due
and payable, the Mortgagee, for the benefit of the Holders (as defined in the
Indenture), may at any time proceed, at law or in equity or otherwise, to
enforce the payment of the Mortgage Notes in accordance with the terms thereof
and:
(a) to institute an action to foreclose its interest under and the
lien of this Mortgage against any of the Properties by judicial foreclosure sale
or strict foreclosure in one proceeding or against portions of the Properties in
a series of separate proceedings, and to have the same sold under the judgment
or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction or proceed to take any of such
actions; and
(b) to take such other action at law or in equity or otherwise for
the enforcement of this Mortgage and the realization on the security or any
other security herein or elsewhere provided for, as the law may allow (including
by power of sale), and may proceed therein to final judgment and execution for
the entire unpaid balance of the principal
-86-
<PAGE> 98
debt, together with all other sums payable by Mortgagor in accordance with the
provisions of the Mortgage Notes and this Mortgage, and all sums which may have
been advanced by the Mortgagee for taxes, water or sewer rents, charges or
claims, payment on prior liens, insurance or repairs to the Properties, all
costs of suit, together with interest thereon at such interest rate as may be
awarded in any judgment obtained by the Mortgagee, as the case may be, from and
after the date of any foreclosure sale until actual payment is made to the
Mortgagee of the full amount due the Mortgagee, and attorneys' fees through and
including all appellate levels; and
(c) to sell, assign, transfer and deliver the whole or, from time to
time, any part of any Property, or any interest in any part thereof, at any
private sale or at public auction permitted by law, with such demand,
advertisement or notice as required by law, and on such other terms as required
or permitted by law.
Before taking title to any Property, the Mortgagee, at the expense of the
Mortgagor, may determine whether any environmental hazards exist at the Property
in respect of which the Mortgagee may become liable by taking title, which
determination may include the performance of an environmental audit of the
Property by a qualified professional if the Mortgagee determines that reasonable
prudence warrants the performance of such an audit.
25.2. The Mortgagor's Waivers. It shall not be necessary for the
Mortgagee to have actual or constructive possession of any part of any Property
in order to pass the title to and the right of possession of said Property, and
the title to and the right of possession of said property shall pass to the
purchaser or purchasers thereof at any sale hereunder as fully as if the same
actually had been present and delivered. To the fullest extent allowed by
applicable law, upon foreclosure of this Mortgage whether by power of sale, or
any other nonjudicial or judicial foreclosure process, the Mortgagor or any
person claiming any part of any Property by, through or under the Mortgagor
shall not be entitled to direct the order of sale or to a marshalling of assets
or a sale in inverse order of alienation. The recitals and statements of fact
contained in any notice or in any conveyance to the purchaser or purchasers at
any sale hereunder shall be prima facie evidence of the truth of such facts, and
all prerequisites and requirements necessary to the validity of any such sale
shall be presumed to have been performed. In the event of a foreclosure sale, to
the extent that the Mortgagor is in
-87-
<PAGE> 99
possession of the Premises, the Mortgagor shall be deemed a tenant at will of
the purchaser at such judicial foreclosure sale and shall be liable for a
reasonable rental for the use of the Premises; and if the Mortgagor refuses to
surrender possession of the Premises upon demand, the purchaser shall be
entitled to institute and maintain the statutory action of forcible entry and
detainer and procure a writ of possession thereunder, and the Mortgagor
expressly waives all damages sustained by reason thereof and the Mortgagor
agrees to pay to the purchaser the reasonable costs and expenses (including all
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) of such action and writ, subject to the
provisions of Article 38.
25.3. Recovery of Advances. Subject to the provisions of Article 35
and subject to the provisions of Article 38, the Mortgagee shall have the right,
from time to time, to bring an appropriate action to recover any sums required
to be paid by the Mortgagor under the terms of this Mortgage and/or the Mortgage
Notes as they become due, without regard to whether the principal indebtedness
evidenced by the Mortgage Notes or any other sums secured by this Mortgage shall
be due, and without prejudice to the right of the Mortgagee thereafter to bring
an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for any default by the Mortgagor
existing at the time the earlier action was commenced.
25.4. Sale. Upon the completion of any sale or sales of any Property
by virtue of this Article 25, the Mortgagee or any officer of any court
empowered to do so, shall execute and deliver to the accepted purchaser or
purchasers, good and sufficient instrument or instruments (subject to the
provisions of Article 38 hereof), conveying, assigning and transferring all
estate, right, title and interest in and to the property and rights sold. In
such event, the Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful
attorney of the Mortgagor, in its name and stead, to make all the necessary
conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of any part of the Property
and rights so sold, and for that purpose the Mortgagee may execute all necessary
instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer and may substitute one or
more persons with like power. Any such sale or sales shall operate to divest all
the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law
or in equity, of the Mortgagor in and to the properties, interests and rights so
sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against the
Mortgagor and against any and all persons claiming or
-88-
<PAGE> 100
who may claim the same, or any part thereof from, through or under the
Mortgagor.
25.5. Several Parcels. If any Event of Default shall have occurred
and the Mortgage Notes shall have been declared due and payable, the Mortgagee
shall have the right to sell each of the Properties individually or collectively
in such manner and order as it may determine, and the right of sale hereunder
shall not be exhausted by one or more sales, but successive sales may be had
until all of the Properties have been legally sold. In the event any sale
hereunder is not completed or is defective in the opinion of the Mortgagee, such
sale shall not exhaust the power of sale hereunder, and the Mortgagee shall have
the right to cause a subsequent sale or sales.
25.6. Mortgage Notes Become Due on Foreclosure Sale. Upon any sale
of any or all of the Properties by the Mortgagee under or by virtue of this
Mortgage, whether pursuant to foreclosure or power of sale or otherwise in
accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage, the entire unpaid principal
amount of the Mortgage Notes at the time outstanding shall, if not previously
declared due and payable, immediately become due and payable, together with the
interest accrued thereon and any applicable Make-Whole Obligation which would
then be payable, and any other indebtedness which this Mortgage by its terms
secures.
26. MORTGAGEE AUTHORIZED TO EXECUTE INSTRUMENTS. The Mortgagor
irrevocably appoints (which appointment is coupled with an interest) the
Mortgagee the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Mortgagor, in its name and
stead and on its behalf, for the purpose of effectuating any sale, assignment,
transfer or delivery for the enforcement of this Mortgage after the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, to execute and
deliver all such deeds, assignments, bills of sale and other instruments
(without recourse, warranty or representation of any kind) as the Mortgagee may
consider necessary or appropriate, with full power of substitution, the
Mortgagor hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney or any
substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Nevertheless, if so requested by
the Mortgagee or any purchaser, the Mortgagor shall ratify and confirm any such
sale, assignment, transfer or delivery by executing and delivering to the
Mortgagee or such purchaser all deeds, assignments, bills of sale, releases and
other proper instruments (which in each case shall be without recourse to or
representation or warranty by the Mortgagor) to effect such ratification and
confirmation as may be designated in any such request.
-89-
<PAGE> 101
27. PURCHASE OF PROPERTIES BY MORTGAGEE. The Mortgagee, any Holder
individually, or any nominee of any of them may be a purchaser of any of the
Properties or of any interest therein at any sale thereof, and may apply to the
purchase price all or any part of the indebtedness secured hereby in lieu of
payment in cash of the amount of such indebtedness applied. Any such purchaser
shall, upon any such purchase, acquire good title to the properties so
purchased, free of the lien of this Mortgage and free of all rights of
redemption in the Mortgagor.
28. RECEIPT A SUFFICIENT DISCHARGE TO PURCHASER. Upon any sale of a
Property after the Mortgage Notes become due and payable, whether at maturity,
by declaration of acceleration or by automatic acceleration after an Event of
Default or otherwise, the receipt of the Mortgagee or the receipt of the officer
making the sale under judicial proceedings shall, to the full extent legally
permitted, be sufficient discharge to the purchaser for the purchase money, and
such purchaser shall not be obligated to see to the application thereof.
29. WAIVER OF MARSHALLING, APPRAISEMENT, APPRAISAL. The Mortgagor
hereby waives all rights, legal and equitable, it may now or hereafter have to
require marshalling of assets or to require upon foreclosure sales of assets in
a particular order. Each successor and assign of the Mortgagor, including a
holder of a lien subordinate to the lien created hereby (without implying that
Mortgagor has a right to grant an interest in, or a subordinate lien on, any of
the Properties), by acceptance of its interest or lien agrees that it shall be
bound by the above waiver, as if it gave the waiver itself. The Mortgagor also
hereby waives, to the full extent it may lawfully do so, the benefit of all laws
providing for rights of appraisement, appraisal, stay or extension or of
redemption after foreclosure now or hereafter in force.
30. SALE SHALL BE A BAR AGAINST MORTGAGOR. The sale of any Property
in connection with the exercise of remedies under this Mortgage after the
Mortgage Notes become due and payable, whether at maturity, by declaration of
acceleration or by automatic acceleration after an Event of Default or
otherwise, shall, to the full extent legally permitted, forever be a perpetual
bar against the Mortgagor's asserting any claim to title to the Property.
31. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS OF SALE. The proceeds of any sale of
any Property or any part thereof or any interest therein, after the Mortgage
Notes become due and
-90-
<PAGE> 102
payable, whether at maturity, by declaration of acceleration or by automatic
acceleration after an Event of Default or otherwise, together with any other
moneys and the proceeds of any Credit Facilities or Eligible Collateral at the
time held by the Mortgagee as part of the Property, shall be applied as set
forth in Section 5.6 of the Indenture except that reference to the term "Notes"
or any "Class" of "Notes" in the Indenture shall be deemed to be a reference to
the Mortgage Notes or the corresponding Class of Mortgage Notes hereunder.
32. APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Mortgagee shall, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, as a matter of right, be entitled to the appointment of a receiver for
all or any part of the Properties, whether such receivership be incidental to a
proposed sale of the Properties or otherwise, and the Mortgagor hereby consents
to the appointment of such a receiver and will not oppose any such appointment.
33. POSSESSION, MANAGEMENT AND INCOME. If an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Mortgagee, with such notice, if any, to the
Mortgagor as required by law or as the Mortgagee considers appropriate in the
circumstances, and subject to the rights of Tenants and the provisions of
applicable law, may immediately enter upon and take possession of the Premises
of each of the Properties by self-help, summary proceedings, ejectment or
otherwise, and may remove the Mortgagor and all other Persons and any and all
property therefrom, and may hold, operate and manage the same and receive all
earnings, income, rents, issues and proceeds accruing with respect thereto;
provided, however, that upon the cure of such Event of Default within the
permitted time, and if no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Mortgagee will convey possession of such Premises back to the
Mortgagor. The Mortgagee shall be under no liability for or by reason of any
such taking of possession, entry, removal or holding, operation or management,
except (i) for its gross negligence or willful misconduct or (ii) to the extent
required by applicable law, and except that any amounts so received by the
Mortgagee shall be applied as set forth in Section 5.6 of the Indenture except
that reference to the term "Notes" or any "Class" of "Notes" in the Indenture
shall be deemed to be a reference to the Mortgage Notes or the corresponding
Class of Mortgage Notes hereunder.
-91-
<PAGE> 103
At the request of the Mortgagee, the Mortgagor shall promptly
execute and deliver to the Mortgagee such deeds, instruments of assignment and
other documents as the Mortgagee may deem necessary or advisable to enable the
Mortgagee or any agent or representative designated by the Mortgagee, at such
time or times and place or places as the Mortgagee may reasonably specify, to
obtain possession of all or any portion or portions of the Properties to which
the Mortgagee shall at the time be entitled hereunder, subject to the rights of
Tenants.
If the Mortgagor shall fail for any reason to execute and deliver
such instrument or document after such request by the Mortgagee, the Mortgagee,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, may (i) obtain a judgment conferring on
the Mortgagee the right to immediate possession and requiring the Mortgagor to
execute and deliver such instruments and documents to the Mortgagee, which entry
of judgment the Mortgagor, to the extent it may lawfully do so, hereby
specifically consents and (ii) pursue the Properties wherever it may be found
and to the extent lawfully permitted, take possession of and remove the same,
subject to the rights of Tenants.
Upon every such taking of possession, the Mortgagee may (but shall
have no obligation), from time to time, at the expense of the Mortgagor and such
expenses to constitute additional indebtedness secured by the affected Property,
make all such expenditures for maintenance, insurance, repairs, replacements,
alterations, additions and improvements to and of the Premises of such Property,
as it may deem proper. In such case, the Mortgagee, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, shall have the right to manage, control, use, operate, store,
lease or otherwise deal with such Property and to carry on the business and
exercise all the rights and powers of the Mortgagor relating to such Property,
as the Mortgagee shall deem best, including the right to enter into any and all
such agreements with respect to the management, cleaning, control, use,
operation, storage, leasing of or otherwise dealing with the Property, or any
part thereof, as the Mortgagee may determine; and, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, the Mortgagee shall be entitled to collect and receive all
tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits of the Property and
every part thereof, without prejudice, however, to the right of the Mortgagee
under any provision of this Mortgage to collect and receive all cash held by, or
required to be deposited with, the Mortgagee hereunder. Such tolls, rents,
revenues, issues, income, products and profits shall be applied to pay the
-92-
<PAGE> 104
expenses of the management, control, use, operation, storage, leasing of or
otherwise dealing with the Premises and of conducting the business thereof, and
of all maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and
improvements, and to make all payments which the Mortgagee may be required or
may elect to make, if any, for Impositions, or other taxes, assessments,
insurance or other proper charges upon the Premises or any part thereof
(including the employment of engineers and accountants to examine, inspect and
make reports), and all other payments which the Mortgagee may be required or
authorized to make under any provision of this Mortgage, as well as just and
reasonable compensation for the services of the Mortgagee, and all persons
properly engaged or employed by the Mortgagee.
34. RIGHT OF MORTGAGEE TO PERFORM MORTGAGOR'S COVENANTS. If the
Mortgagor shall fail to make any payment or perform any act required to be made
or performed here under, the Mortgagee, upon notice to the Mortgagor and upon
the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period provided in Article 23
(except in cases of emergency that threaten bodily injury or material damage to
property, in which case the Mortgagee will allow such notice and grace or cure
period, if any, as is reasonable under the circumstances) and subject to the
Mortgagor's right of contest under Article 12 hereof, but without waiving or
releasing any obligation, Default or Event of Default, may (but shall be under
no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act
for the account and at the expense of the Mortgagor, and, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, may enter upon the Premises of such Property for
such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in the judgment of the
Mortgagee, may be reasonably necessary or appropriate therefor, subject to the
rights of Tenants. All sums so paid by the Mortgagee and all reasonable costs
and expenses (including all attorneys' fees and expenses) so incurred, together
with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of payment by the
Mortgagee until paid, shall constitute additional indebtedness secured by this
Mortgage and, subject to the provisions of Article 38 hereof, shall be paid by
the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee, for the benefit of the Holders, upon demand
therefor.
35. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Subject to the provisions of Article 38
hereof, to the extent permitted under applicable law each right, power and
remedy of the Mortgagee provided for in this Mortgage or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and
concurrent and shall be in addition
-93-
<PAGE> 105
to every other right, power or remedy provided for in this Mortgage or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute (including the Uniform
Commercial Code as enacted in the State where each of the Properties is located)
or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Mortgagee of
any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Mortgage
or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise
shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Mortgagee, to the
extent permitted by law, of any or all of such other rights, powers or remedies.
The Mortgagee shall not exercise or seek to exercise, or accept the performance
or acquiescence by the Mortgagor under, any remedy provided for the benefit of
the Mortgagee in any Security Document other than this Mortgage, until the
Mortgagee has exhausted its remedies under this Mortgage, nor shall the
Mortgagee take any action after an Event of Default, including seeking interim
relief or partial recovery from the Property, the taking of which would restrict
or impair the ability of the Mortgagee to proceed, or which would preclude the
Mortgagee from proceeding, against the entire Premises for the benefit of the
Holders.
36. APPLICABLE LAW. (a) All rights, powers and remedies provided
herein may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof, including
those which do not require the giving of notice, does not violate any applicable
law, and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will
not render this Mortgage invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded,
registered or filed under any applicable law. All waivers, consents, confessions
and releases provided for in this Mortgage are effective only to the extent
permitted by applicable law.
(b) This Mortgage was negotiated and made by Mortgagor in the State
of New York, and the proceeds of the loans secured hereby were disbursed from
New York, which State the parties agree has a substantial relationship to the
parties and to the underlying transaction embodied hereby. In all respects, the
law of the State of New York shall govern the validity of and enforceability of
this Mortgage, except that the creation, validity, perfection, priority and
enforceability of the lien and security interest created by this Mortgage, all
warranties of title contained herein with respect to the Properties and all
provisions hereof relating to the realization of the security covered by this
Mortgage shall be governed by the laws of the State in which each of the
Properties that is
-94-
<PAGE> 106
the subject of dispute is located (as further described in Articles 58, 59, 60,
61, 62, 63 and 64 and the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee will submit to
jurisdiction and the laying of venue for any suit on this Mortgage in such
State).
37. NO WAIVER. No failure by the Mortgagee to insist upon the strict
performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right, power or remedy
consequent upon a breach thereof shall constitute a waiver of any such term or
of any such breach. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Mortgage,
which shall continue in full force and effect, or shall affect or alter the
rights of the Mortgagee with respect to any other then existing or subsequent
breach. Neither the Mortgagor nor any other person now or hereafter obligated
for payment of all or any part of the sums now or hereafter secured by this
Mortgage shall be relieved of such obligation by reason of the failure of the
Mortgagee to comply with any request of the Mortgagor or of any other person so
obligated, to take action to foreclose on this Mortgage or otherwise to enforce
any provisions of this Mortgage or the Mortgage Notes or by reason of the
release, regardless of consideration, of all or any part of the security held
for the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage, or by reason of any agreement or
stipulation between any subsequent owner of any of the Properties and the
Mortgagee extending the time of payment or modifying the terms of this Mortgage
or the Mortgage Notes without first having obtained the consent of the Mortgagor
or such other persons; and in the latter event the Mortgagor and all such other
persons shall continue to be liable, subject to Article 38, to make payments
according to the terms of any such extension or modification agreement, unless
expressly released and discharged in writing by the Mortgagee.
38. OBLIGATIONS ARE WITHOUT RECOURSE. (a) Anything contained in this
Mortgage or in the Mortgage Notes or the other Mortgage Security Documents to
the contrary notwithstanding (except for the liability of the Mortgagor for
fraud, intentional misrepresentation, misapplication of proceeds or rentals as
provided below), the Mortgagee's recourse for the satisfaction of the
indebtedness due under the Mortgage Notes and for the payment and performance of
all of the obligations and liabilities of the Mortgagor under this Mortgage or
the other Mortgage Security Documents shall be limited solely to the Mortgagor's
interest in the Properties and the other Mortgage Collateral, and none of the
Mortgagor nor any of its respective successors or assigns, nor any partner
(general or limited, or a subpartner at any level), member,
-95-
<PAGE> 107
tenant in common, officer, director, trustee, beneficiary, shareholder,
controlling person, employee, agent or Affiliate of any of the foregoing
(collectively, "Exculpated Persons") shall be liable in any other respect for
(i) the payment of the principal of, or interest or Make-Whole Obligations, if
any, on the Mortgage Notes, or (ii) the payment of any other amount due under
the Mortgage Notes, this Mortgage or the other Mortgage Security Documents, or
(iii) for damages for the breach of, or any costs or expenses associated with
the performance of or failure to perform, any of the covenants, obligations,
representations and warranties or indemnifications contained herein or in the
Mortgage Notes, this Mortgage or the other Mortgage Security Documents (other
than as expressly provided with respect to the Mortgagor in the Environmental
Indemnity; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation of the Mortgagee's
recourse as it applies to the Mortgagor shall not apply to any liabilities,
obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses
(including all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) imposed upon or incurred
by or asserted against the Mortgagee, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer or the Holders by reason of the occurrence or existence of any
of following prior to the payment in full of the Mortgage Notes: (i) fraud
committed by the Mortgagor; (ii) an intentional and material misrepresentation
by the Mortgagor; (iii) the application of any Proceeds received by the
Mortgagor after a casualty or condemnation in a manner other than that required
by the terms of this Mortgage and the Cash Management Agreement; or, (iv) after
an Event of Default shall have occurred which shall be continuing, the
application by the Mortgagor of the rentals under any Lease or of any security
deposit under any Lease in a manner other than that required by the terms of
this Mortgage and the Cash Management Agreement; provided, however, that in
either case (i) or (ii) the Mortgagee's recourse to the Mortgagor shall be
limited to the damages resulting from such fraud or intentional
misrepresentation and in either case (iii) or (iv) the Mortgagee's recourse to
the Mortgagor shall be limited to the amount of such misapplied Proceeds or
rentals by Mortgagor and no other property or assets of Mortgagor, or of any of
Mortgagor's directors, officers, employees or shareholders, shall be subject to
any lien, levy, execution, or other enforcement procedure in connection with
such recourse. The Mortgagee, by its acceptance of the Mortgage Notes, agrees
that, in the event it pursues any remedies available to it hereunder or under
the Mortgage Notes or the other Mortgage Security Documents, the Mortgagee shall
not have recourse to the Exculpated Persons for any deficiency, loss or claim
for damages resulting therefrom, and none of
-96-
<PAGE> 108
the property or assets of any of the Exculpated Persons other than the
Properties shall be subject to levy, execution, garnishment, attachment,
foreclosure or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of the remedies
of the Mortgagee hereunder, but nothing contained herein shall (i) constitute a
waiver of any indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Notes or secured by this
Mortgage or the other Mortgage Security Documents, or (ii) be taken to prevent
recourse to or the enforcement of remedies against any of the Properties or any
other Mortgage Collateral in respect of any and all liabilities, obligations and
undertakings contained herein or in the Mortgage Notes. In addition, each
document which is executed by Mortgagor and/or any Exculpated Person pursuant to
or in connection with this Mortgage, the Mortgage Notes and/or the other
Mortgage Security Documents shall either expressly incorporate, or shall be
deemed to incorporate, the non-recourse provisions contained in this Article
38. For purposes of this Section 38(a), each and every reference to "Mortgagee"
(including the possessory thereof) shall mean Mortgagee, its successors and
assigns, and all persons and/or entities whose rights under this document arise
by, through or under Mortgagee, its successors and/or assigns.
In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
Mortgage Notes, this Mortgage, the Indenture or any other Security Document,
with respect to each Mortgagor, the total liability of that Mortgagor under the
Mortgage Notes, this Mortgage, and each other Mortgage Security Document shall
not
(i) at any time during the period from the date hereof to a date one
year and a day after the date hereof exceed the sum of (A) the Allocated
Amount for the Property identified on Exhibit A as being owned by such
Mortgagor plus (B) such Mortgagor's Net Worth on the date hereof, less (C)
$1,000, and
(ii) at any time after the period referred to in clause (i) above
exceed the sum of (A) the Allocated Amount for the Property identified on
Exhibit A as being owned by such Mortgagor plus (B) the greater of such
Mortgagor's Net Worth on the date hereof and such Mortgagor's Net Worth on
the date such determination is being made (it being understood that for
purposes of determining such Mortgagor's Net Worth on any date subsequent
to the date that is one year and a day after the date hereof, such
Mortgagor's liabilities shall only include liabilities that are permitted
under the
-97-
<PAGE> 109
terms of the Mortgage Security Documents), less (C) $1,000.
For purposes of the foregoing, "Net Worth" of a Mortgagor shall mean
the positive net worth of such Mortgagor (net of the Allocated Amount for
the Property identified on Exhibit A as being owned by such Mortgagor),
based on the sum of (x) the fair saleable value of its assets (determined
after giving effect to distributions, if any, by such Mortgagor to such
Mortgagor's partners, members or other equity investors, as applicable, of
the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan received by such Mortgagor on account of
the issuance of the Mortgage Notes and determined in accordance with
applicable laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors),
less (y) its liabilities (determined as in clause (x) above), including a
portion of the Mortgage Loan equal to the Allocated Amount for the
Property identified on Exhibit A as being owned by such Mortgagor, but
excluding amounts payable under the Mortgage Notes, this Mortgage, the
Indenture and any other Mortgage Security Documents in excess of such
Allocated Amount.
Each document that is executed by any Mortgagor and/or any other Exculpated
Persons pursuant to or in connection with this Mortgage and/or any other
Mortgage Security Documents shall either expressly incorporate, or shall be
deemed to incorporate, the provisions contained in this Article 38.
(b) It is expressly understood and agreed that nothing herein nor
any act of the Mortgagor, nor any document or instrument executed by the
Mortgagor in connection herewith shall create or impose on the Mortgagor or any
other Exculpated Persons any personal liability, other than to the extent
expressly provided with respect to the Mortgagor in the Environmental Indemnity;
and this Mortgage is executed by the Mortgagor with the express understanding
and agreement that nothing herein contained or under any of the Mortgage
Security Documents (including the Indenture and the Mortgage Notes) shall be
construed as creating any liability on the part of the Mortgagor or any other
Exculpated Persons personally, other than to the extent expressly provided with
respect to the Mortgagor in the Environmental Indemnity; to pay the principal
obligation or any interest that may accrue thereon or any indebtedness that may
accrue hereunder or under any of the Mortgage Security Documents (including the
Indenture and the Mortgage Notes) or to perform any covenant, either express or
implied, herein contained, and that every Person now or
-98-
<PAGE> 110
hereafter claiming any right or security hereunder shall look solely to the
Properties and the other Mortgage Collateral for the payment thereof and the
enforcement of any lien hereby created or the enforcement of any covenant,
condition or agreement contained herein or under any of the Mortgage Security
Documents (including the Indenture and the Mortgage Notes).
(c) The provisions of Section 38(a) and (b) hereof shall not (i)
constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation of the Mortgagor
(without recourse to its partners, members or other equity investors) evidenced
or secured by the Mortgage Notes, this Mortgage or any other Mortgage Security
Document to the extent that it would impair the Mortgagee's right or ability to
declare an Event of Default or accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Notes,
(ii) constitute a waiver of the Mortgagee's right under Section 1111(b) of the
United States Bankruptcy Code to claim against the Mortgagor (without recourse
to its partners, members or other equity investors, other than to the extent
expressly provided with respect to the Mortgagor in the Environmental Indemnity)
the full amount of the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Notes or incurred
pursuant to any of the other Mortgage Security Documents or (iii) impair the
right of the Mortgagee to obtain a deficiency judgment (without recourse to any
partner, member or other equity investor in the Mortgagor, other than to the
extent expressly provided with respect to the Mortgagor in the Environmental
Indemnity) in any action or proceeding in order to preserve its rights and
remedies against the Properties and the other Mortgage Collateral as to which a
lien is granted hereunder, including, without limitation, foreclosure,
nonjudicial foreclosure or the exercise of a power of sale, under this Mortgage
or the other Mortgage Collateral.
39. STAMP AND OTHER TAXES. Subject to the provisions of Article 12
relating to permitted contests, the Mortgagor will pay any United States
documentary stamp taxes, with interest and fines and penalties, if any, and any
city, county or state mortgage recording taxes, with interest and fines and
penalties, if any, that may hereafter be levied, imposed or assessed under or
upon or by reason of this Mortgage or any instrument or transaction affecting or
relating to either thereof. In the event of the Mortgagor's default thereof, the
Mortgagee may advance the same and the amount so advanced shall be due and
payable by the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee within ten days after demand therefor,
together with interest thereon at the Default Rate. The Mortgagor shall not be
obligated to pay any taxes which may be imposed upon the income of the
Mortgagee.
-99-
<PAGE> 111
40. FURTHER ASSURANCES. The Mortgagor, at its own expense, will
execute, acknowledge and deliver all such instruments and take all such actions
as the Mortgagee from time to time reasonably may request or as may be
reasonably necessary or proper for the better assuring to the Mortgagee of the
properties and rights now or hereafter subject to the lien hereof or intended so
to be.
41. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. The Mortgagor and the Mortgagee each
will, from time to time, upon twenty days' prior written request by the other
party, execute, acknowledge and deliver to the requesting party, in the case of
a request to the Mortgagee, an Officers' Certificate signed by an authorized
officer or officers and in the case of a request to the Mortgagor, an Officers'
Certificate from the Mortgagor, stating that this Mortgage is unmodified and in
full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that this Mortgage
is in full force and effect as modified and setting forth such modifications)
and stating the interest accrued to date on the aggregate principal amount of
the Mortgage Notes. The estoppel certificate from the Mortgagee shall also state
either that, to the best knowledge of the signer of such certificate and based
on no independent investigation, no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder
or, if any Default or Event of Default shall exist hereunder, specify each
Default or Event of Default of which the Mortgagee has actual knowledge.
42. ADDITIONAL SECURITY. Without notice to or consent of the
Mortgagor and without impairment of the lien and rights created by this
Mortgage, the Mortgagee may accept (but the Mortgagor shall not be obligated to
furnish) from the Mortgagor or from any other Person or Persons, additional
security for the Mortgage Notes. Neither the giving of this Mortgage nor the
acceptance of any such additional security shall prevent the Mortgagee from
resorting, first, to such additional security, and, second, to the security
created by this Mortgage without affecting the Mortgagee's interest under this
Mortgage, subject, however, to the provisions of Article 35 of this Mortgage.
43. FINANCING STATEMENT. This Mortgage shall be deemed to be and may
be enforced from time to time as a mortgage, chattel mortgage, assignment,
contract, security agreement, financing statement, or lien on machinery situated
on the Premises, and from time to time as any one or more thereof, and shall
constitute a "fixture filing" for the purposes of Article 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code as enacted in the State where each Property is located.

44. RELEASE; SUBSTITUTE PROPERTY. (a) (i) If the Mortgagor shall pay
the principal of and interest on the Mortgage Notes in full at Maturity and all
other sums payable to the Mortgagee hereunder by the Mortgagor or secured hereby
or by the other Mortgage Security Documents, then this Mortgage and all the
other Mortgage Security Documents shall be discharged and satisfied or assigned
(to the Mortgagor or to any other Person at the Mortgagor's direction), at the
Mortgagor's option, without warranty, other than for the acts of the Mortgagee,
at the expense of the Mortgagor upon its written request. Concurrently with such
release and satisfaction or assignment of this Mortgage and all the other
Mortgage Security Documents, the Mortgagee will return to the Mortgagor all
title and other insurance policies relating to the Properties and, on the
written request and at the expense of the Mortgagor, will execute and deliver
such proper instruments of release (including appropriate UCC-3 termination
statements) as may reasonably be requested by the Mortgagor to evidence such
release and satisfaction or assignment, and any such instrument, when duly
executed by the Mortgagee and duly recorded in the places where this Mortgage
and each other Mortgage Security Document is recorded, shall conclusively
evidence the release and satisfaction or assignment of this Mortgage and the
other Mortgage Security Documents and (x) if the Mortgagor has elected to assign
this Mortgage, the Mortgagee shall assign the Mortgage Notes to the Mortgagor or
its designee and (y) if the Mortgagor has not elected to assign this Mortgage,
the Mortgagee shall cancel the Mortgage Notes and return them to the Mortgagor.
(ii) Except as otherwise provided in Article 15 or 16, if prior to
the Maturity Date the Mortgagor shall pay 125% of the Allocated Amount of a
Property (each, a "Release Property") together with (x) interest on such amount
to the date of payment and if such date is not a Payment Date, through the next
Payment Date, (y) the Make-Whole Payment, if any, and (z) all other sums then
payable to the Mortgagee hereunder by the Mortgagor, then Mortgagor shall
release the lien of this Mortgage with respect to the Release Property (or, at
the option of Mortgagor, split the Mortgage into two Mortgages (one of which
would be a lien on the Release Property and would secure 125% of the Allocated
Amount of the Release Property (the "Split Mortgage") and the other of which
would be a lien on the other Properties and would secure the remaining
indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Notes) and split the Mortgage Notes (so
that a new mortgage note is created evidencing 125% of the Allocated Amount of
the Release Property (the "Split Note") and the Mortgage Notes are appropriately
reduced), and assign the Split
-101-
<PAGE> 113
Mortgage and the Split Note to the Mortgagor or its designee without warranty,
other than for the acts of the Mortgagee, at the expense of the Mortgagor) and
release the lien of the other Mortgage Security Documents relating to such
Property. For purposes of this Section 44, the term "Make-Whole Payment" shall
mean:
(1) if pursuant to the Indenture and in connection with the release
of the lien of the Mortgage from the Release Property, Vornado Finance is
required to defease Notes in a principal amount equal to the principal
amount of Mortgage Notes being paid under this Section 44(a)(ii), an
amount equal to the excess, if any of (x) the amount required to be paid
by Vornado Finance to accomplish such defeasance over (y) the amount of
principal and interest paid by the Mortgagor under this Section 44(a)(ii)
in order to release such Property; or
(2) if clause (1) does not apply, zero.
Concurrently with such release and satisfaction or assignment, the Mortgagee
will return to the Mortgagor all title and other insurance policies relating to
such Property and, on the written request and at the expense of the Mortgagor,
will execute and deliver such proper instruments of release (including
appropriate UCC-3 termination statements) as may reasonably be requested by the
Mortgagor to evidence such release and satisfaction or assignment. The Mortgagee
shall also pay over to the Mortgagor that is the owner of such Property all
amounts held in any Reserve Accounts that relate to such Property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Mortgagor
desires to obtain a release from the lien of this Mortgage of, all or any one of
the Properties described in Exhibit A hereto, the Mortgagee shall consent to the
release of the Release Property or Properties from the lien of this Mortgage
provided that (i) the Mortgagor shall have given at least 15 days' prior written
notice of the date proposed for such release (the "Release Date"), (ii) no Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the Release Date, unless
the proposed release, by itself, will eliminate the basis of all outstanding
Events of Default, in which case the requirement of this clause (ii) will be
deemed to be satisfied, (iii) in no event would such release result in a
decrease in the Debt Service Coverage Ratio below the greater of (A) the Debt
Service Coverage Ratio as of the most recent Debt Service Coverage Ratio
Calculation Date immediately preceding such Release and (B)
-102-
<PAGE> 114
1.56:1, (iv) Vornado Finance shall simultaneously with such Release defease or,
if permitted by the terms of the Indenture, redeem, a principal amount of Notes
that is equal to the principal amount of Mortgage Notes being prepaid in
connection with such Release pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, and (v) the
Mortgagor shall have delivered to the Mortgagee an Officer's Certificate
confirming the matters referred to in clauses (ii), (iii) and (v) above. In
determining whether the Debt Service Coverage Ratio test is satisfied for
purposes of this Section 44(a)(ii), Net Cash Flow shall be calculated with
proper adjustment to both Gross Revenue and Operating Expense to account for the
proposed release of the Release Property.
Any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 44(a)(ii) shall be
applied to the Mortgage Notes in the following order of priority: first, to the
Class A-1 Mortgage Note until the Class A-1 Mortgage Note has been paid in full;
second, to the Class A-2 Mortgage Note until the Class A-2 Mortgage Note has
been paid in full; third, to the Class B Mortgage Note until the Class B
Mortgage Note has been paid in full; fourth, to the Class C Mortgage Note until
the Class C Mortgage Note has been paid in full; fifth, to the Class D Mortgage
Note until the Class D Mortgage Note has been paid in full; sixth, to the Class
E Mortgage Note until the Class E Mortgage Note has been paid in full; and
seventh, to the Class F Mortgage Note until the Class F Mortgage Note has been
paid in full.

Property") for any individual existing Property (a "Replaced Property") provided
that the Allocated Amount of the Replaced Property together with all the
Allocated Amount of all previous Replaced Properties, does not exceed
twenty-five percent (25%) of the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan.
From and after the substitution of a Substitute Property in accordance herewith,

45. CHANGES IN LAW REGARDING TAXATION. In the event of the passage,
after the date of this Mortgage, of any law of any of the states in which any
Property is located changing in any way the laws for the taxation of mortgages
or debts secured by mortgages for state or local purposes or the manner of the
collection of any such taxes, and imposing a tax, either directly or indirectly,
on this Mortgage or the Mortgage Notes and resulting in an increase in the taxes
or other charges imposed on or incurred by the Mortgagee by reason of such
change in law, the Mortgagee may with the consent of Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, at its option, upon 90 days' notice,
declare the aggregate Allocated Amount of all Properties in such State to be due
and payable (without premium or Make-Whole Obligation); provided, however, that
the Mortgagee shall not make such declaration and this Mortgage shall remain in
effect if, notwithstanding said law, (i) (x) the Mortgagor may lawfully pay such
taxes on behalf of the Mortgagee or (y) the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee may
lawfully, and do, enter into an enforceable agreement obligating the Mortgagor
to pay to the Mortgagee an amount equal to any increase in taxation or charges
imposed on or incurred by the Mortgagee by reason of such change in law (which
agreement shall thereupon become part of this Mortgage), and (ii) the Mortgagor
does in fact pay such taxes or such increases in taxation or charges, as
applicable; provided, however, that this Article 45 shall not apply to any taxes
which may arise in connection with the ownership or transfer of the Mortgage
Notes or the Notes or which may be imposed upon the income of the Mortgagee or
the Holders of the Notes.
Any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 45 shall be applied to

(i) On each Payment Date commencing with the Payment Date in
April, 2000, the Mortgagee shall pay the Principal Installment Amount due

below. All payments of Principal Installment Amounts shall be applied

(ii) If at any time any portion of the principal balance of
the Mortgage Notes is prepaid (other than in the manner described in
Section 46(a)(i) above), then the Principal Installment Amounts (and
Exhibit I hereto) shall be adjusted as follows:
(A) if such prepayment of the Mortgage Notes results in the
defeasance of a corresponding principal amount of Notes pursuant to
the terms of the Indenture, then the Principal Installment Amounts
set forth on Exhibit I hereto shall be revised to equal the
Principal Installment Amounts (as defined in the Indenture) set
forth on the Undefeased Amortization Schedule (as defined in and
calculated pursuant to Section 4.3(b) of the Indenture);
(B) if such prepayment of the Mortgage Notes results in the
redemption of a corresponding principal amount of Notes pursuant to
the terms of the Indenture that occurs prior to the time that any
Notes have been defeased pursuant to the Indenture, then the
Principal Installment Amounts set forth on Exhibit I hereto shall be
revised to equal the Principal Installment Amounts (as defined in
the Indenture) as calculated pursuant to the terms of Section
3.11(a)(ii) of the Indenture;
-109-
<PAGE> 121
(C) if such prepayment of the Mortgage Notes results in the
redemption of a corresponding principal amount of Notes pursuant to
the terms of the Indenture that occurs after the time that any Notes
have been defeased pursuant to the Indenture, then the Principal
Installment Amounts set forth on Exhibit I hereto shall be revised
to equal the Principal Installment Amounts (as defined in the
Indenture) set forth on the Undefeased Amortization Schedule (as
defined in the Indenture) as recalculated pursuant to the terms of
Section 3.11(a)(ii) of the Indenture.
The proceeds applied to prepay the Mortgage Notes pursuant to this
Section 46(a) shall be ratably applied to reduce the Allocated Amounts of each
Property based upon the respective Allocated Amounts of the Properties securing
the Mortgage Notes.
(b) Voluntary Prepayments. The Mortgage Notes may be prepaid by the
Mortgagor at any time, in whole or in part, at the election of the Mortgagor
(and thereby reduce the principal amount secured by this Mortgage) upon payment
to the Mortgagee of
(i) the principal amount of the Mortgage Notes to be prepaid;
(ii) interest on such amount to the date of prepayment and if
such date is not an Payment Date, through the next Payment Date;
(iii) the Make-Whole Payment, if any; and
(iv) all other sums then payable to the Mortgagee hereunder by
the Mortgagor (including all expenses of the Mortgagee in connection with
such prepayment);
provided, however, that simultaneously with such prepayment, Vornado Finance
shall defease or, if permitted by the terms of the Indenture, redeem a principal
amount of Notes that is equal to the principal amount of Mortgage Notes being
prepaid pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.
For purposes of this Section 46(b), the term "Make-Whole Payment"
shall mean:
(1) if pursuant to the Indenture and in connection with such
prepayment of the Mortgage Notes,
-110-
<PAGE> 122
Vornado Finance is required to defease Notes in a principal amount equal
to the principal amount of the Mortgage Notes being paid under this
Section 46(b), an amount equal to the excess, if any of (x) the amount
required to be paid by Vornado Finance to accomplish such defeasance over
(y) the amount of principal and interest paid by the Mortgagor under this
Section 46(b)(ii) in connection with such prepayment of the Mortgage
Notes; or
(2) if clause (1) does not apply, zero.
The proceeds applied to prepay the Mortgage Notes shall be deemed to
be first applied to satisfy the Make-Whole Payment, if any, applicable to such
prepayment and then shall be ratably applied to reduce the Allocated Amounts of
each Property based upon the respective Allocated Amounts of the Properties
securing the Mortgage Notes unless (i) the Mortgagor elects to release one or
more of the Properties in connection with such prepayment in accordance with
Section 44 or (ii) such prepayment is made in respect of a sale of Expansion
Space at a particular Property, in which case the Allocated Amount of such
Property shall be reduced.
Any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 46(b) shall be applied
to the Mortgage Notes in the following order of priority: first, to the Class
A-1 Mortgage Note until the Class A-1 Mortgage Note has been paid in full;
second, to the Class A-2 Mortgage Note until the Class A-2 Mortgage Note has
been paid in full; third, to the Class B Mortgage Note until the Class B
Mortgage Note has been paid in full; fourth, to the Class C Mortgage Note until
the Class C Mortgage Note has been paid in full; fifth, to the Class D Mortgage
Note until the Class D Mortgage Note has been paid in full; sixth, to the Class
E Mortgage Note until the Class E Mortgage Note has been paid in full; and
seventh, to the Class F Mortgage Note until the Class F Mortgage Note has been

pursuant to this Section 46 to the Mortgagee not less than 15 days nor more than
45 days prior to the date fixed for prepayment, specifying (i) the date fixed
for prepayment, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Mortgage Notes to be
prepaid on such date and (iii) the amount of the Make-Whole Payment, if any, to
the extent such amount can be calculated as of the date of such notice.
-111-
<PAGE> 123
(c) Other Prepayments. The Mortgage Notes may or shall be prepaid
without any Make-Whole Obligation upon the occurrence of certain events of
damage to or destruction of or condemnation of any of the Properties securing
the Mortgage Notes or changes in law regarding taxation of mortgages generally
as more fully set forth in Articles 15, 16 and 45 of this Mortgage.
47. CONFIDENTIALITY. The Mortgagee agrees to use its best efforts to
keep confidential all financial statements and other information obtained by it
from the Mortgagor pursuant to this Mortgage and to not disclose such
information to any other Person except (i) to the Holders pursuant to the terms
of this Mortgage and the Indenture (subject to the confidentiality restrictions
applicable to the Mortgagee and the Holders) and to the Rating Agencies (and the
Rating Agencies may reasonably disclose such information in connection with
their initial rating or their ongoing rating surveillance of the Securities),
(ii) to the extent required by any law, or (iii) to the extent that such
information is public when received by the Mortgagee or becomes public
thereafter due to the action or omission of any party other than the Mortgagee
and the Holders.
48. SECURITY AGREEMENT, ETC.
48.1. Grant of Security. This Mortgage is a security agreement
within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the state where each
Property is located with respect to all personal property now or hereafter
located at the Properties and owned by the Mortgagor as to which the creation
and perfection of a security interest are subject to such Uniform Commercial
Code (the "Personal Property"), and is also a mortgage as to those portions of
the Properties that are classified as real property. The Mortgagor hereby grants
to the Mortgagee a security interest in and to the Personal Property to secure
the payment of the Mortgage Notes. Any completely executed counterpart of this
instrument may be filed as a mortgage on real property or fixtures, or as a
security agreement or financing statement or as both. The address of the
Mortgagor, as debtor, and the address of the Mortgagee, as secured party, are
shown on page 1 of this Mortgage.
48.2. Financing Statements. The Mortgagor shall cause all financing
and continuation statements and other instruments with respect to the Personal
Property at all times to be kept recorded, filed or registered in such manner
and in such places as may be required by law fully to evidence, perfect and
secure the interests of the Mortgagee
-112-
<PAGE> 124
in the Personal Property, and shall pay all filing fees in connection therewith.
The Mortgagor hereby appoints the Mortgagee as its attorney-in-fact to perform
the obligations of the Mortgagor under this Section 48.2, at the expense of the
Mortgagor, in the event it fails to do so.
48.3. Multiple Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Mortgagee shall have the option of proceeding, to the
extent permitted under applicable law, as to both real and personal property in
accordance with its rights and remedies in respect of the real property, as an
alternative to proceeding in accordance with the default provisions of the
Uniform Commercial Code; and the Mortgagee may exercise any and all of the other
rights of a secured party under such Uniform Commercial Code.
48.4. Waiver of Rights. To the extent permitted under applicable
law, the Mortgagor waives all rights of redemption after foreclosure and all
other rights and remedies of a debtor thereunder and all formalities prescribed
by law relative to the sale or disposition of the Personal Property after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder and all
other rights and remedies of the Mortgagor with respect thereto. In exercising
its right to take possession of the Personal Property upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, the Mortgagee,
personally or by its agents or attorneys, and subject to the rights of any
Tenant, may enter upon any part of the Premises without being guilty of trespass
or any wrongdoing, and without liability for damages thereby occasioned except
for its gross negligence or willful misconduct. To the extent any notice of sale
or other disposition of the Personal Property is required and cannot be waived,
in the event the Mortgagee elects to proceed with respect to the Personal
Property separately from the real property, the Mortgagee shall give at least
ten Business Days' notice of the sale of the Personal Property, subject,
however, to the provisions of Article 35 hereof in each case. All recitals in
any instrument of assignment or any other instrument executed by the Mortgagee
incident to any sale, transfer, assignment, lease or other disposition or
utilization of the Personal Property or any part thereof shall be full proof of
the matter stated therein and no other proof shall be required to establish full
legal propriety of the sale or other action taken by the Mortgagee or of any
fact or condition incident thereto, all of which shall be deemed conclusively to
have been performed or to have occurred.
-113-
<PAGE> 125
48.5. Expenses of Disposition of the Properties. The Mortgagor shall
reimburse the Mortgagee, within thirty Business Days after demand, for all
reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, lease or other use
or disposition, selling, leasing or otherwise using or disposing of the Personal
Property which are incurred, including all reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, and all such expenses shall be added to the Mortgagor's obligations to
the Mortgagee and shall be secured hereby.
49. EXPENSES OF THE MORTGAGEE.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Article 38, if any action, suit or
other proceeding affecting any of the Properties or any part thereof be
commenced, in which action, suit or proceeding the Mortgagee is made a party or
participates or in which the right to use such Property or any part thereof is
threatened, or in which it becomes necessary in the reasonable judgment of the
Mortgagee to defend or uphold the interest of the Mortgagee under this Mortgage
(including any action, suit or proceeding to establish or uphold the compliance
of the Improvements with any Legal Requirement), then all amounts reasonably
paid or incurred by the Mortgagee for the expense of any such action, suit or
other proceeding or to protect its rights therein (whether or not it is made or
becomes a party thereto) or otherwise to enforce or defend the rights and lien
created by this Mortgage (including all reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses), shall be paid by the Mortgagor upon demand and, if not paid within
thirty days of the giving of such demand, shall bear interest at the Default
Rate from the date of the payment or incurring thereof, and any such amount and
the interest thereon shall be a lien on the Properties, prior to any right, or
right to, interest in, or claim upon the Properties attaching or accruing
subsequent to or otherwise subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage, and the
same shall be deemed to be indebtedness secured hereby, provided such right of
payment in the case of any enforcement of the rights of the Mortgagee under this
Mortgage shall only arise in the case where an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing. All other reasonable amounts paid, advanced or
incurred by the Mortgagee after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default in order to secure and protect the interest of the Mortgagee
under this Mortgage or the other Mortgage Security Documents shall be a like
lien on the Properties and be deemed to be part of the indebtedness secured
hereby.
-114-
<PAGE> 126
(b) Subject to the provisions of Article 38, in the event this
Mortgage or the Mortgage Notes is placed in the hands of counsel for collection
of any amount payable hereunder or thereunder or for the enforcement of any of
the provisions hereof or thereof and if an Event of Default shall have occurred
and shall then be continuing, the Mortgagor agrees to pay all reasonable costs
associated therewith incurred by the Mortgagee, either with or without the
institution of an action, suit or other proceeding, in addition to all
reasonable costs, disbursements and allowances provided by law, all such costs
to be paid upon demand, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from
the date of notice or incurring thereof, and the same shall be deemed to be part
of the indebtedness secured hereby.
50. USURY. The Mortgagor and the Mortgagee intend to conform
strictly to applicable laws regarding usury. The Mortgagor and the Mortgagee
hereby stipulate and agree that it is the intention of Mortgagor and Mortgagee
that none of the terms and provisions contained in the Mortgage Notes or this
Mortgage shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay for the use,
forbearance, or detention of money an amount in excess of the maximum
nonusurious amount allowed by applicable law. If the Mortgage Notes or this
Mortgage or the transactions contemplated by any of them would be otherwise
usurious under applicable law, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
any or all of the Mortgage Notes or this Mortgage, the Mortgagor, and the
Mortgagee hereby agree as follows: (i) for any applicable period of time
specified by any applicable law, interest under the Mortgage Security Documents
shall never exceed the maximum nonusurious amount allowed by such law; and (ii)
if the Mortgage Notes shall be accelerated in whole or in part for any reason,
or if any required or permitted prepayment occurs hereunder, then for any
applicable period of time specified by any applicable law, interest shall never
include more than the maximum nonusurious amount allowed by each such law, and
in either such case any excess interest (if any) otherwise provided for under
any or all of the Mortgage Security Documents shall automatically be applied by
the Mortgagee in the following order: (1) to interest properly charged under the
Mortgage Notes and this Mortgage; (2) to principal properly charged under the
Mortgage Notes and this Mortgage (without premium); (3) if all sums due under
(1) and (2) have been or would thereby be paid in full, all other interest on
the Mortgage Notes shall be cancelled automatically as of and through the date
of such acceleration or prepayment; and (4) if any such excess interest has been
received by the Mortgagee, it shall be
-115-
<PAGE> 127
refunded by the Mortgagee to the Mortgagor. The Mortgagor shall never be
required to pay unearned interest under the Mortgage Notes and this Mortgage or
to pay interest under any or all of the Mortgage Security Documents in an amount
in excess of the maximum nonusurious amount allowed by applicable law, and the
provisions of this Article 50 shall control over all other provisions of any
Mortgage Security Document which may be in apparent conflict herewith.
51. MISCELLANEOUS. This Mortgage may be discharged or terminated
only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement
of such discharge or termination is sought. In the event any time period or any
date provided in this Mortgage ends or falls on a day other than a Business Day,
then such time period shall be deemed to end, and such date shall be deemed to
fall, on the next succeeding Business Day, and performance herein may be made on
such Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on such preceding
day. Subject to Article 38 hereof, this Mortgage shall be binding upon the
Mortgagor and the Mortgagee and each of the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee and
their respective successors and permitted assigns and all Persons claiming under
or through the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee or any such successors or permitted
assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Mortgagor
and the Mortgagee and their respective successors and assigns. This Mortgage may
be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original,
but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
52. NON-MERGER. It is the intention and agreement of the Mortgagor
and the Mortgagee that there shall be no merger of any leasehold estate in the
Premises of any of the Properties with the fee interest in the Premises of any
of the Properties or any other estate or interest in the Premises of any of the
Properties, and there shall be no merger of this Mortgage and any estate in the
Premises, by reason of the fact that the same Person may own or hold (a) any
leasehold estate in the Premises, and/or (b) this Mortgage, and/or (c) the fee
interest in the Premises or any other estate or interest in the Premises.
53. ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND MORTGAGOR'S INTEREST IN LEASES.
(a) During the term hereof, the Mortgagor presently hereby
irrevocably grants, sells, assigns, conveys, transfers and sets over to the

Leases and any other Leases which may hereafter be entered into by the
Mortgagor, and any modifications, renewals or extensions thereof, and all right,

therefor, including all claim, right and demand as lessor to receive, collect
and retain all rents and all other amounts due thereunder, any modification,
renewals or extensions thereof, including:
(i) the immediate and continuing right to receive and collect
all amounts payable by all Tenants, subtenants or other parties pursuant
to the Leases, Reciprocal Operating Agreements and the Stop & Shop
Guaranty, including, without limitation, (A) all rents, income, revenues,
issues, profits, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards and other
payments, tenders and security payable to or receivable by the Mortgagor
under the Leases, Reciprocal Operating Agreements and the Stop & Shop
Guaranty, or any other guaranty,(B) all damages or other amounts payable

the Mortgagor, whether provided for in any Lease, Reciprocal Operating
Agreement, the Stop & Shop Guaranty or any other guaranty, or arising by
statute or at law or in equity or otherwise, consequent on any failure on
the part of any Tenant to perform or comply with any term of any Lease,
Reciprocal Operating Agreement, the Stop & Shop Guaranty or any other
guaranty;
(iii) all right to take all action upon the happening of a
default under any Lease, Reciprocal Operating Agreement, the Stop & Shop

<PAGE> 129
Reciprocal Operating Agreement, the Stop & Shop Guaranty or any other
guaranty, or by law, including, without limitation, the commencement,
conduct and consummation of proceedings at law or in equity; and
(iv) the full power and authority, in the name of the
Mortgagor, or otherwise, to enforce, collect, receive and make receipt for
any and all of the foregoing and to do any and all other acts and things
whatsoever which the Mortgagor, or any landlord is or may be entitled to
do under any Lease, Reciprocal Operating Agreement, the Stop & Shop
Guaranty or any other guaranty;
subject, however, to the license granted to the Mortgagor under paragraph (c)
below.
(b) Any funds received by the Mortgagee, after payment of all proper
costs and charges, under this Article 53 shall be held by the Mortgagee for
application first to payment of all amounts then due and payable under this
Mortgage, and second to payment of all amounts then due and payable under the
Mortgage Notes. The Mortgagee shall be accountable to the Mortgagor only for
monies actually received by the Mortgagee pursuant to this Article 53. The
collection of said funds and the application thereof as aforesaid shall not cure
or waive any Event of Default or waive, modify or affect any notice of Event of
Default or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice; provided, however,
if the Mortgagor deposits with the Mortgagee amounts which are sufficient to
cover the obligation of the Mortgagor that was the subject of the Event of
Default, the Event of Default shall be deemed to have been cured.
(c) (i) This assignment constitutes a present, absolute, effective,
irrevocable assignment by the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee of the Property to be
assigned, including without limitation such property as constitutes personal
property, and the right to collect all sums payable to the Mortgagor thereunder
and apply the same in accordance with subsection (b) above which is not
conditioned on the Mortgagee being in possession of the Property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Mortgagor shall have a license (which may be
enforced by the Manager) to collect and retain from the Tenants and of such
parties to any Reciprocal Operating Agreements, rent and all other sums payable
under the Leases, the Stop & Shop Guaranty, any Reciprocal Operating Agreements
or any other guaranties, and all Proceeds paid in respect of the insurance
described in
-118-
<PAGE> 130
clause (d) of Exhibit E hereto, to enforce the obligations of Tenants under the
Leases and of such parties to any Reciprocal Operating Agreements, and to
exercise all the rights and remedies of the landlord under the Leases and any
Reciprocal Operating Agreements and, subject in each case, however, to
compliance with the provisions of this Mortgage. The Mortgagor shall deposit
upon receipt, or shall cause the Manager to deposit upon receipt, all monies
received in respect of the Property or this Mortgage and in respect of all
rents, profits, issues and income from any Leases and all other Operating
Income, and all income or other gains from investment or reinvestment thereof,
in the Deposit Account (as defined in the Indenture). The Mortgagor hereby
grants a security interest in and assigns to the Mortgagee the Deposit Account
to secure the performance of the obligations under the Mortgage Notes, the
Mortgage and the other Mortgage Security Documents and to be used by the
Mortgagee to pay amounts permitted to be withdrawn by the Mortgagee pursuant to
the Cash Management Agreement.
(ii) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the license granted in Section 53(c)(i) hereof shall immediately cease and
terminate, with or without any action or proceeding or the intervention of a
receiver appointed by a court, and the Mortgagee or an agent appointed by the
Mortgagee may, to the fullest extent permitted by the Leases, Reciprocal
Operating Agreements, the Stop & Shop Guaranty or any other guaranty, do any or
all of the following:
(A) exercise any of the Mortgagor's rights under the Leases,
Reciprocal Operating Agreements, the Stop & Shop Guaranty or any
other guaranty, including notifying Tenants to pay rent to an
account or location selected by the Mortgagee in accordance with the
Indenture and this Mortgage;
(B) enforce the Leases, Reciprocal Operating Agreements, the
Stop & Shop Guaranty or any other guaranty;
(C) demand, collect, sue for, attach, levy, recover, receive,
compromise and adjust, and make, execute and deliver receipts and
releases for all rents or other payments that may then be or may
thereafter become due, owing or payable with respect to the Leases,
Reciprocal Operating Agreements, the Stop & Shop Guaranty or any
other guaranty;
-119-
<PAGE> 131
(D) demand that any sums held by the Mortgagor with respect to
any Lease (including, but not limited to, any security deposits,
other deposits or prepayments), Reciprocal Operating Agreements, the
Stop & Shop Guaranty or any other guaranty be immediately remitted
to the Mortgagee; and
(E) generally, do, execute and perform any other act, deed,
matter or thing whatsoever that ought to be done, executed and
performed in and about or with respect to the Leases, Reciprocal
Operating Agreements, the Stop & Shop Guaranty or any other
guaranty, as fully as allowed or authorized by this Article 53.
(d) The Mortgagor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs each
Tenant under a Lease, and each other party under a Reciprocal Operating
Agreement, the Stop & Shop Guaranty or any other guaranty, upon receipt of
notice from the Mortgagee that an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, to pay directly to, or as directed by, the Mortgagee, all rents,
issues and profits accruing or due under such Tenant's Lease, or under such
Reciprocal Operating Agreement, the Stop & Shop Guaranty or any other guaranty,
from and after the receipt of such notice. The Mortgagor agrees that any Tenant
or such other party shall have the right to rely upon the notice from the
Mortgagee and shall pay such rents, issues and profits to or as directed by the
Mortgagee without any obligation to inquire into the actual existence of any
Event of Default claimed by the Mortgagee, notwithstanding any notice from or
contrary claim by the Mortgagor, and the Mortgagor shall have no right or claim
for any rents, issues or profits so paid to the Mortgagee. Such rents, issues
and profits shall continue to be paid to the Mortgagee unless and until the
Event of Default which gave rise to the termination of the Mortgagor's license
under Section 53(c)(i) is, and any intervening Events of Default have been,
cured to the satisfaction of the Mortgagee (and so long as no amount shall then
be due and payable under the Mortgage Notes, whether at maturity, by declaration
of acceleration or otherwise, and such acceleration has not been rescinded). In
the event each such Event of Default has been cured as aforesaid (or, if the
provisions set forth in the parenthetical in the immediately preceding sentence
are applicable, upon completion of foreclosure or comparable remedies resulting
in a disposition of the Premises) the Mortgagee shall direct each tenant by
written notice to resume the payment of all rents, issues or profits accruing
-120-
<PAGE> 132
or due under its respective Lease, Reciprocal Operating Agreement, the Stop &
Shop Guaranty or any other guaranty in accordance with the provisions of Section
53(c) hereof (or, if the immediately preceding parenthetical is applicable, to
the then-owner of the Premises) from and after receipt of such notice from the
Mortgagee.
(e) Except for any termination of any Lease, Reciprocal Operating
Agreement, the Stop & Shop Guaranty or any other guaranty or any amendment,
modification or waiver of the provisions of any Lease, Reciprocal Operating
Agreement, the Stop & Shop Guaranty or any other guaranty expressly permitted by
the provisions thereof or of Article 20 hereof, the Mortgagor at its expense
will prudently enforce in all material respects each of the Leases, Reciprocal
Operating Agreements, the Stop & Shop Guaranty or any other guaranties, in
accordance with their terms. Neither the execution and delivery of this Mortgage
nor any action or inaction on the part of the Mortgagee shall release (i) any
Tenant from its Lease, (ii) any party from any of its obligations or liabilities
under its Reciprocal Operating Agreement or the Stop & Shop Guaranty, (iii) any
guarantor from any of its obligations or liabilities under any other guaranty,
or (iv) the Mortgagor from any of its obligations under the Leases, Reciprocal
Operating Agreements, the Stop & Shop Guaranty or any other guaranty, or
constitute an assumption of any such obligation under the Leases, Reciprocal
Operating Agreements, the Stop & Shop Guaranty or any other guaranties or
constitute an assumption of any such obligation on the part of the Mortgagee. No
action or failure to act on the part of the Mortgagor shall adversely affect or
limit the rights of the Mortgagee under this Mortgage or the Assignment or,
through this Mortgage or the Assignment, under any Lease, Reciprocal Operating
Agreement, the Stop & Shop Guaranty or any other guaranty.
(f) During the term hereof, all rights, powers and privileges of
Mortgagee herein set forth are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable,
subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and the Mortgagor will not take any
action under any Lease, Reciprocal Operating Agreement, the Stop & Shop Guaranty
or any other guaranty or otherwise which is inconsistent with this Mortgage or
the Assignment or any of the terms hereof or thereof and any such action
inconsistent herewith or therewith shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, be void. Any further assignment of any rents, issue, or profits from any of
the Properties shall to the fullest extent permitted by law be void except as
permitted by Section 19.1 or 19.3. To the fullest extent
-121-
<PAGE> 133
permitted by applicable law, the Mortgagor hereby waives any requirement that
the Mortgagee commence any foreclosure proceeding with respect to any or all of
the Properties prior to enforcement of any remedies pursuant to this Article 53,
including the right to commence and prosecute an action to appoint a receiver
for rents and all other amounts due under any Leases. The Mortgagor will, from
time to time, upon request of the Mortgagee, execute on a non- recourse basis
all instruments and further assurances and all supplemental instruments and take
all such action as the Mortgagee from time to time may reasonably request in
order to perfect, preserve and protect the interests, intended to be assigned to
the Mortgagee hereby.
(g) The assignment granted by this Article 53 may be modified,
amended, discharged or waived only by an agree ment in writing signed by the
party against whom enforcement of any such modification, amendment, discharge or
waiver is sought. Subject to Article 38 hereof, the covenants of this Article 53
shall run with the land and bind the Mortgagor, the successors and permitted
assigns of the Mortgagor, and all present and subsequent encumbrances, Tenants
of any of the Premises, and shall bind and inure to the benefit of the
Mortgagee, its successors and permitted assigns.
(h) The Mortgagor hereby agrees that it will not, unilaterally or by
agreement, subordinate, amend, modify, extend, discharge, terminate, surrender,
waive or otherwise change any term of any Lease, Reciprocal Operating Agreement,
the Stop & Shop Guaranty or any other guaranty in any manner which would violate
this Mortgage. If any Lease, Reciprocal Operating Agreement, the Stop & Shop
Guaranty or any other guaranty shall be amended as permitted hereby, such Lease,
Reciprocal Operating Agreement, the Stop & Shop Guaranty or any other guaranty
shall continue to be subject to the provisions hereof without the necessity of
any further act by any of the parties hereto, subject to the provisions of any
non-disturbance agreement which the Mortgagee may have granted in accordance
with the provisions of this Mortgage.

respect of the Secured Obligations such Funding Mortgagor shall be entitled to a
contribution from other Mortgagors for all payments, damages and expenses
incurred by such Funding Mortgagor under or in connection with such Secured
Obligations, such contributions to be made in the manner and to the extent set

contribution to each Funding Mortgagor in respect of all payments, damages and
expenses incurred by such Funding Mortgagor hereunder or under the Mortgage
Notes or any other Mortgage Security Document in an aggregate amount, subject to
Section 65(c) below, equal to (i) the ratio of (x) the Property Worth of the
Property owned by such Mortgagor to (y) the Property Worth of the Properties
owned by all Mortgagors, multiplied by (ii) the aggregate amount of such
payments, damages and expenses incurred by such Funding Mortgagor under or in

payment (in liquidation or otherwise) to the prior payment in full in cash of
all of the obligations of the Mortgagors in respect of the Secured Obligations
(whether for principal, interest, Make-Whole Obligation or otherwise). If any
amount shall at any time be paid to a Mortgagor on account of such rights of
contribution or subrogation, or in contravention of the provisions of this

the other assets of such Mortgagor, for the benefit of the Mortgagee and shall
promptly be paid to the Mortgagee. The foregoing shall constitute a continuing

<PAGE> 144
paid in full, unless released in accordance with the terms of this Mortgage.

Mortgagor hereunder made by any other Mortgagor or any other Person or received
or collected by the Mortgagee from such other Mortgagor or such other Person by
virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or
application, at any time or from time to time, in reduction of or in payment of
the Secured Obligations or any release of security hereunder shall be deemed to
modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the primary liability of such
Mortgagor in respect thereof.
(d) If any amount shall at any time be paid to a Mortgagor on
account of such rights of contribution or subrogation, in contravention of the
provisions of this Section 66 at any time, such amount shall be held in trust,
segregated from the other assets of such Mortgagor, for the benefit of the
Mortgagee and shall promptly be paid to the Mortgagee.

time by the Trustee. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, unless the Trustee
otherwise directs the Maker, such payment shall be made by making funds in
lawful money of the United States of America available in the Collection Account
(as defined in the Indenture) for withdrawal by the Servicer on behalf of the
Trustee by wire transfer as and when necessary (including in advance of the due
date) to make timely payment of amounts due and payable on Outstanding

C-3
<PAGE> 158
and be continuing, the principal amount of this Class [ ] Mortgage Note may be
declared due and payable on demand by the Payee, and upon such declaration the
principal amount of this Class [ ] Mortgage Note shall become immediately due
and payable, together (to the extent permitted by law) with interest on any
unpaid amounts due under this Class [ ] Mortgage Note and the Make-Whole Amount.

on any unpaid amounts due under this Class [ ] Mortgage Note and the Make-Whole
Amount shall automatically become due and payable immediately without any action
whatsoever on the part of the Payee, with the effect, and subject to the
conditions, provided in the Mortgage.
The Make-Whole Amount shall be due and payable in accordance with
the terms of the Mortgage and upon the acceleration of the maturity of this
Class [ ] Mortgage Note by virtue of the occurrence and continuance of an Event
of Default, and said Make-Whole Amount shall be calculated by the Payee as
provided in the Mortgage.
The Maker confirms that the Make-Whole Amount described above is an
essential component of the consideration for the Payee's agreement to make the
loan to the Maker evidenced hereby. Such Make-Whole Amount represents a
reasonable estimate by the Maker and the Payee of a fair average compensation
for the loss that Payee will sustain due to the payment of any of the
indebtedness evidenced hereby prior to the maturity hereof. Such Make-Whole
Amount shall be paid without prejudice to the right of the Payee to collect any
other amounts provided to be paid hereunder or under any of the other Mortgage
Security Documents.
The Mortgage contains provisions for the release of the Mortgage
upon compliance by the Maker with certain conditions set forth therein.
Subject to Section 50 of the Mortgage, no reference herein to the
Mortgage and no provision of this Class [ ] Mortgage Note or the Mortgage shall
alter or impair the obligation of the Maker, which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest (and Make-Whole Obligation,
if any) on this Class [ ] Mortgage Note at the times, places and rates, and in
the coin or currency, herein prescribed, subject to the provisions hereof
limiting the recourse of the holder of this Class [ ] Mortgage Note.

(a) Insurance with respect to the Improvements and the Equipment against
any peril included within the classification "All Risks of Physical Loss" with
extended coverage in amounts at all times sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor
from becoming co-insurer within the terms of the applicable policies, but in any
event such insurance shall be maintained in an amount equal to the full
insurable value of the Improvements and the Equipment, the term "full insurable
value" to mean the actual replacement cost of the Improvements and the Equipment
(without taking into account any depreciation, and exclusive of excavations,
footings and foundations, landscaping and paving) determined annually by an
insurer, a recognized independent insurance broker or an appraiser selected and
paid by the Mortgagor (unless reasonably disapproved by the Mortgagee) and in no
event less than the coverage required pursuant to the terms of any Lease;
(b) Comprehensive general liability insurance, including bodily injury,
death and property damage liability, and umbrella liability insurance against
any and all claims, including all legal liability to the extent insurable
imposed upon the Mortgagee and all court costs and attorneys' fees and expenses,
arising out of or connected with the possession, use, leasing, operation,
maintenance or condition of the Properties in such amounts as are generally
available at reasonable premiums and are generally required by institutional
lenders for properties comparable to the Properties;
(c) Statutory workers' compensation insurance (to the extent the risks to
be covered thereby are not already covered by other policies of insurance
maintained by the Mortgagor), with respect to any work on or about the
Properties;
(d) Business interruption and/or loss of "rental value" insurance in an
amount sufficient to avoid any co-insurance penalty and to provide Proceeds for
a period of not less than one year following restoration, the term "rental
value" to mean the sum of (A) the total rentals payable under the Leases and (B)
the total amount of all other amounts to be received by the Mortgagor or third
parties which are the legal obliga tion of the Tenants, reduced to the extent
such amounts would not be received because of expenses not incurred during a
period of non-occupancy of that portion of the affected
Property then not being occupied;
E-1
<PAGE> 163
(e) Broad form boiler and machinery insurance (without exclusion for
explosion) covering all boilers or other pressure vessels, machinery and
equipment located in, on or about the Properties and insurance against loss of
occupancy or use arising from any such breakdown in such amounts as are
generally available at reasonable premiums and are generally required by
institutional lenders for properties comparable to the Properties;
(f) If a Property is located within a federally designated "100 year flood
plain", flood insurance if generally available at reasonable premiums and in
such amount as generally required by institutional lenders for similar
properties (provided, however, that if the Mortgagor believes that it is no
longer obligated to maintain flood insurance pursuant to this provision, the
Mortgagor shall notify the Mortgagee of such circumstance and the Mortgagee
shall have the opportunity to contest by appropriate legal or mutually agreeable
arbitration proceedings whether or not the Mortgagor's obligation remains in
effect in light of the criteria set forth in this provision); and
(g) Such other insurance with respect to a Property against loss or damage
of the kinds from time to time customarily insured against and in such amounts
as are generally available at reasonable premiums and are generally required by
institutional lenders for properties comparable to such Property.
Ratings of Insurers: The Mortgagor will maintain a portion of the
insurance coverage described in clause (a) above in an amount at least equal to
the Maximum Foreseeable Casualty Loss and the insurance coverage described in
clause (d) above, with either the insurers who insure the Property on the date
of this Mortgage (including Arkwright) (but only so long as the ratings of such
insurers are not reduced to a level below that permitted by this Paragraph or
withdrawn) or one or more other primary insurers having (or a syndicate (i.e.,
either a consortium or a co-insurance group as with the policy on the Property
existing on the date hereof) of insurers through which the coverage is with
carriers having) a claims paying ability as determined by Moody's, and by DCR if
such insurance companies are rated by DCR and if not rated by DCR, then A by one
additional NRSRO, of not less than one grade less than the highest ratings then
assigned to the Notes by the Rating Agencies (i.e., if the Notes are rated
"Aaa", the insurers' rating shall be not less than "Aa2"), but in no event less
than A2 or "A"; the coverage described in clauses (b) and (c) shall be
maintained with either the insurers who insure the Property on the date of
E-2
<PAGE> 164
this Mortgage or one or more other primary insurers (or a syndicate (as defined
above) of insurers through which at least 75% of the coverage (if there are four
or fewer members of the syndicate) or at least 60% of the coverage (if there are
five or more members of the syndicate)) having a claims paying ability of not
less than Investment Grade by Moody's (or equivalent), and by DCR if such
insurance companies are rated by DCR and if not so rated by DCR, then A by one
additional NRSRO. The coverage described in clause (c) shall be maintained with
either an insurer having a claims paying ability of not less than Investment
Grade or the applicable state workers' compensation fund. In each case, however,
if no providers of such insurance are so rated, the requirement for such rating
shall be the highest rating then given to insurers by Moody's and DCR; and
provided further that in the event of any loss, claims in respect of a portion
of such insurance maintained in accordance with clause (a) above shall be
payable prior to claims in respect of the remaining portion(s) of the insurance
required by such clauses.
All insurance coverage shall be provided by one or more primary
insurers having an Alfred M. Best Company, Inc. rating of "A-VIII" or better
except to the extent that insurance in force on the date of this Mortgage does
not satisfy such criteria or if otherwise approved by the Mortgagee.
The insurance coverage required under this Exhibit E may be effected
under a blanket policy or policies covering the Properties and other properties
and assets not constituting Properties; provided that any such blanket policy
shall specify, except in the case of public liability insurance, the portion of
the total coverage of such policy that is allocated to the Properties, and any
sublimits in such blanket policy applicable to the Properties, which amounts
shall not be less than the amounts required pursuant to Section 13 and this
Exhibit E. and which shall in any case comply in all other respects with the
requirements of this Section 13 and this Exhibit E.
The "Maximum Foreseeable Casualty Loss" shall be the estimate of the
Qualified Fire Protection Engineer then being used by the Mortgagor (unless
reasonably disapproved by the Mortgagee) in connection with its existing
insurance package of the maximum probable casualty loss which would be incurred
in respect of the Premises as a result of damage caused by the perils covered by
the insurance described in clause (a) above.

reasonable care should know, that the certificate or representations with
respect to such matters are erroneous.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more
applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other
instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and
form one instrument.
SECTION 1.3 Acts of Holders.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by the Holders
(i) may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially
similar tenor signed by such Holders in Person or by an agent duly appointed in
writing or (ii) may be embodied in and evidenced by the record of Holders voting
in favor thereof in Person at any meeting of Holders duly called and held in
accordance with the provisions of Article XIII. Except as herein otherwise
expressly provided, such action will become effective when such instrument or
instruments of record are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is expressly
required by this Indenture, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments and
any such record (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are
herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument
or instruments and so voting at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agency or proxy, or of the
holding by any Person of a Note, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this
Indenture or any other Security Document and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive
in favor of the Servicer, Trustee and the Issuer if made in the manner provided
in this Section 1.3. The record of any meeting of Holders of Notes shall be
proved in the manner provided in this Section 1.3. With respect to authorization
to be given or taken by Holders of Notes, the Trustee shall be authorized to
26
<PAGE> 35
follow the written directions or the vote of Holders of Notes of not less than
66-2/3% of Outstanding Notes unless any greater or lower percentage is required
or permitted by the terms hereof.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by
law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing
such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such
execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual
capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof
of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or
writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved
in any other manner that the Trustee deems sufficient.
(c) The principal amount and identification numbers of Notes held by any
Person, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the Register for
the Notes.
(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
election, declaration, waiver or other act of the Holder of any Note shall bind
every future Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon
the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of
anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Servicer, Special Servicer,
Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such
action is made upon such Note.
SECTION 1.4 Computation of Principal Amount.
Whenever this Indenture states that any action may be taken by a specified
percentage of Holders, such statement shall mean that such action may be taken
by the Holders of such specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of
the Outstanding Notes to which such vote relates.
SECTION 1.5 Notices.
Any notice, direction, request, consent, election, waiver or demand which
by any provision of this Indenture is required or permitted to be given may be
served by national overnight courier service or may be given or served by
facsimile only during business hours (as determined at the place of delivery) (9
a.m. - 5 p.m.) of the addressee on a Business Day (with a confirmation copy sent
by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or by national
overnight courier) or by certified or registered mail, in each case return
receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the address or addresses set forth below

SECTION 1.6 Notice to Holders of Notes.
Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Holders of the Notes from
the Trustee, the Trustee, subject to reimbursement by the Issuer, shall (i) in
the case of a Global Note, mail such notice by overnight mail to the Depositary
and (ii) in the case of Notes other than the Global Notes, mail such notice by
first class mail, postage prepaid (except with respect to any redemption notice,
which shall be sent by overnight mail) to the Holders thereof at the addresses
appearing on the Register, with a copy of all such notices delivered (by mail or
otherwise) to the Issuer. Any such notice so sent shall be conclusively presumed
to have been received by such Holders.
In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or overnight
mail service, as the case may be, or by reason of any other cause it shall be
impracticable to give any notice in the manner required above, then any other
method of notification found satisfactory in the reasonable judgment of the
Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.
In any case where notice to the Holders of Notes is given by mail, neither the
failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any
particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to
other Holders of the Notes.
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be
waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before
or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice.
Waivers of notice by Holders of Notes shall be filed with the Trustee, but such
filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in
reliance upon such waiver.
All requests, demands, authorizations, directions, notices, consents,
waivers and other communications required or permitted under this Indenture
shall be in writing in the English language. Notice to any Holder will be deemed
to have been given on the date of such publication or mailing.
SECTION 1.7 Successors and Assigns.
All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by any party shall bind
such party and its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.
SECTION 1.8 Separability Clause.
In case any provision of this Indenture or of the Notes shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, then, to the extent permitted by law, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby.
SECTION 1.9 Benefits of Indenture.
Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give
to any Person, other than the parties hereto, their successors hereunder, and
the Holders of the Notes, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under this Indenture.
30
<PAGE> 39
SECTION 1.10 Governing Law.
(a) THIS INDENTURE AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
(b) Any action or proceeding against any of the parties hereto relating in
any way to this Indenture or any Note or the Collateral may be brought and
enforced in the courts of the State of New York or of the United States for the
Southern District of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of
New York, and the Issuer irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of each such
court in respect of any such action or proceeding. The Issuer hereby waives any
right to remove any such action or proceeding by reason of improper venue. As
long as any of the Notes remain Outstanding, the Issuer will at all times have
an authorized agent in New York City upon whom process may be served in any
legal action or proceeding relating in any way to this Indenture or any Note.
Service of process upon such agent and written notice of such notice mailed or
delivered to the Issuer at its address set forth in Section 1.5 shall, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, be deemed in every respect effective service
upon the Issuer in any such legal action or proceeding. The Issuer's authorized
agent for service of process shall initially be The Corporation Trust Company,
111 Eighth Avenue, New York, NY 10011, or such other Person as the Issuer shall
identify in a notice to the Trustee and the Servicer in accordance with Section
1.5.
SECTION 1.11 [Intentionally Omitted].
SECTION 1.12 Security Agreement.
This Indenture shall constitute a security agreement under the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect in the states where the Payment Account, the
Collection Account, the Holdover Account and any other similar account
established by the Trustee, or the Servicer or the Special Servicer in
furtherance of such entity's responsibilities under this Indenture or any other
Security Document are located (with respect to the liens and security interests
granted in Section 3.1(c)). Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and in
addition to any other rights available under this Indenture, the Security
Documents or any other instruments included in the Indenture Collateral, the
Mortgage Collateral or otherwise available at law or in equity, the Trustee
shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform
Commercial Code to enforce the assignments and security interests contained
herein and, in addition, shall have the right, subject to compliance with any
mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell at public or private sale or
apply, as appropriate, all monies or other property then on deposit in the
Payment Account, the Collection Account, the Holdover Account and any other
similar account established by the Trustee, the Servicer or the Special Servicer
in furtherance of its rights or responsibilities under this Indenture or any
other Security Document and any other rights and other interests assigned or
pledged hereby in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. All amounts
received hereunder and under the other Security Documents and any other
instruments included in the Indenture Collateral or the Mortgage Collateral
shall be applied in accordance with the priorities established in Section 5.6.
SECTION 1.13 Third-Party Beneficiary.
31
<PAGE> 40
This Indenture shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each of
the parties hereto and its successors. Except as otherwise provided in this
Article I, no other Person shall have any right or obligation hereunder.
SECTION 1.14 Obligations are Without Recourse.
(a) Anything contained in this Indenture or the other Security Documents
to the contrary notwithstanding, the recourse for the satisfaction of the
indebtedness due under the Notes and for the payment and performance of all of
the obligations and liabilities of the Issuer under the Indenture or the other
Security Documents shall be limited solely to the Issuer's interest in the
Collateral, the Payment Account, the Holdover Account, the Collection Account,
the Reserve Accounts and the Deposit Account and none of the Issuer, Vornado,
VRLP or any of their respective successors or assigns, or any partner (general
or limited, or a subpartner at any level), member, tenant in common, officer,
director, trustee, beneficiary, shareholder, controlling Person, employee,
agent, contractholder or policyholder, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing
(collectively, "Exculpated Persons"), shall be liable in any respect for (i) the
payment of the principal of or interest or Make-Whole Amount, if any, on the
Notes, or (ii) the payment of any other amount due under the Notes, this
Indenture or the other Indenture Security Documents, or (iii) damages for the
breach of, or any costs or expenses associated with the performance of or
failure to perform, any of the covenants, obligations, representations,
warranties or indemnifications contained herein or in the Notes or the other
Indenture Security Documents, other than as expressly provided with respect to
the Property Owners in the Environmental Indemnity, provided, however, that the
foregoing limitation of the liability of the Issuer shall not apply to any
liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs
and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) imposed upon or
incurred by or asserted against the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer
or the Holders by reason of the occurrence or existence of any of the following
prior to the payment in full of the Notes: (i) fraud committed by the Issuer;
(ii) an intentional and material misrepresentation by the Issuer; (iii) the
application of any Proceeds received by the Issuer after a casualty in a manner
other than that required by the terms of this Indenture and the Mortgage; or,
(iv) after an Event of Default shall have occurred which shall be continuing,
the application by the Issuer of the rentals under any Lease or of any security
deposit under any Lease in a manner other than that required by the terms of
this Indenture and the Mortgage; provided, however, that in either case (i) or
(ii) recourse to the Issuer shall be limited to the damages resulting from such
fraud or intentional misrepresentation and in either case (iii) or (iv) recourse
to the Issuer shall be limited to the amount of such misapplied Proceeds or
rentals by the Issuer and no other property or assets of the Issuer, or of any
of the Issuer's directors, officers, employees or shareholders, shall be subject
to any lien, levy, execution, or other enforcement procedure in connection with
such recourse and by acceptance of the Notes, the Trustee and the Holders shall
agree that, in the event it pursues any remedies available to it hereunder or
under the Notes or the other Security Documents, the Trustee, the Servicer, the
Special Servicer and the Holders shall not have recourse to the Exculpated
Persons for any deficiency, loss or claim for damages resulting therefrom, and
none of the property or assets of any of the Exculpated Persons other than the
Mortgaged Properties shall be subject to levy, execution, garnishment,
attachment, foreclosure or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of
the remedies of the Trustee, the Servicer and the Special Servicer and the
Holders hereunder, but nothing contained herein shall (i)
32
<PAGE> 41
constitute a waiver of any indebtedness evidenced by the Notes or secured by the
Mortgage or the other Security Documents, or (ii) be taken to prevent recourse
to or the enforcement of remedies against any of the Collateral, including the
Mortgaged Properties, in respect of any and all liabilities, obligations and
undertakings contained herein, in the Mortgage or in the Notes.
Each document that is executed by any Exculpated Persons pursuant to or in
connection with this Indenture and/or any other Security Documents shall either
expressly incorporate, or shall be deemed to incorporate, the non-recourse
provisions contained in this Section 1.14. For purposes of this Section 1.14(a),
each and every reference to "the Issuer" (including the possessory thereof)
shall mean the Issuer, its successors and assigns, and all Persons and/or
entities whose rights under this document arise by, through or under the Issuer,
its successors and/or assigns.
(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed
that nothing herein nor any act of the Issuer nor any document or instrument
executed by the Issuer in connection herewith shall create or impose on any
Exculpated Persons any personal liability, other than to the extent expressly
provided with respect to the Property Owners in the Environmental Indemnity, and
this Indenture is executed by the Issuer with the express understanding and
agreement that nothing contained herein, in the Notes or under any of the other
Indenture Security Documents (including the Notes) shall be construed as
creating any liability on the part of any Exculpated Persons personally, other
than to the extent expressly provided with respect to the Property Owners in the
Environmental Indemnity, to pay the principal obligation or any interest that
may accrue thereon or any indebtedness that may accrue hereunder or under any of
the other Indenture Security Documents or to perform any covenant, either
express or implied, herein contained, and that every Person now or hereafter
claiming any right or security hereunder shall look solely to the Collateral,
the Payment Account, the Holdover Account, the Collection Account, the Reserve
Accounts and the Deposit Account, for the payment thereof and the enforcement of
any lien hereby created or the enforcement of any covenant, condition or
agreement contained herein or under any of the other Indenture Security
Documents.
(c) The provisions of Section 1.14(a) and (b) hereof shall not (i)
constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation of the Issuer
(without recourse to its partners, members or other equity investors) evidenced
or secured by the Notes, this Indenture or any other Indenture Security Document
to the extent that it would impair the Trustee's (or the Servicer's or Special
Servicer's or the Trustee's behalf) right or ability to declare an Event of
Default or accelerate the maturity of the Notes, (ii) constitute a waiver of the
Trustee's right under Section 1111(b) of the United States Bankruptcy Code to
claim against the Issuer (without recourse to its partners, members or other
equity investors, other than to the extent expressly provided with respect to
the Property Owners in the Environmental Indemnity) the full amount of the
indebtedness evidenced by the Notes or incurred pursuant to any of the other
Indenture Security Documents or (iii) impair the right of the Trustee to obtain
a deficiency judgment (without recourse to any partner, member or other equity
investor in the Issuer, other than to the extent expressly provided with respect
to the Property Owners in the Environmental Indemnity) in any action or
proceeding in order to preserve its rights and remedies against Collateral as to
which a lien is granted hereunder, including, without limitation, foreclosure,
nonjudicial foreclosure or the exercise of a power of sale, under the
Collateral.

SECTION 2.3 Form of the Notes.
(a) Except as otherwise provided pursuant to this Section 2.3, the Notes
are issuable in definitive, fully registered form without coupons in
substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, with such applicable legends as are
provided for in Sections 2.4 and 2.5. The Notes are not issuable in bearer form.
(b)(i) Notes that are to be offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S
shall be issued initially in the form of a single temporary Global Note (a
"Regulation S Temporary Global Note") in fully registered form without interest
coupons, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, with such applicable
legends as are provided for in Section 2.4. Any Regulation S Temporary Global
Note shall be duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee, as
provided herein, and shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its
nominee and deposited with the Trustee, as Custodian, at its Corporate Trust
Office, for credit to the accounts of the Agent Member then acting for Euroclear
or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, for credit to the respective
beneficial owners of such Note in accordance with the rules thereof. On or after
the termination of the Regulation S Distribution Compliance Period, interests in
any Regulation S Temporary Global Note will be exchangeable for corresponding
interests in an unrestricted Global Note (individually, an "Unrestricted Global
Note" and, collectively, "Unrestricted Global Notes"), respectively, each in
definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the
form of Exhibit A hereto, and each with such applicable legends as are provided
for in Section 2.4. The aggregate principal amount of a Regulation S Temporary
Global Note and an Unrestricted Global Note may from time to time be increased
or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for
the Depositary, as hereinafter provided.
(ii) A holder of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global
Note may arrange to receive distributions on account of such interest through
Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg only after delivery by such Person to
Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, of a written
certification (an "Owner Securities Certification") substantially in the form of
Exhibit B-1 hereto, and upon delivery by Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg,
as the case may be, to the Principal Paying Agent of a certification or
certifications (each, a "Depositary Securities
35
<PAGE> 44
Certification") substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto. The delivery by
such holder of a beneficial interest in such Regulation S Temporary Global Note
of such certification shall constitute an irrevocable instruction by such holder
to Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, to exchange such
holder's beneficial interest in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note for a
beneficial interest in the Unrestricted Global Note of the same Class upon the
expiration of the relevant Regulation S Distribution Compliance Period in
accordance with the next succeeding paragraph. No distribution shall be paid to
any holder of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global Note
until the foregoing Owner Securities Certification has been provided to
Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, by such holder and no
distribution shall be paid to Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg in respect of
such holder's interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global Note unless Euroclear
or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, has provided a Depositary
Securities Certification to the Principal Paying Agent with respect to such
interest.
Upon
(A) the expiration of the Regulation S Distribution Compliance
Period,
(B) receipt by Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case
may be, and the Principal Paying Agent of the certificates
described in the preceding paragraph,
(C) receipt by the Depositary of
(1) written instructions given in accordance with the
Applicable Procedures from an Agent Member directing the
Depositary to credit or cause to be credited to a
specified Agent Member's account a beneficial interest
in an Unrestricted Global Note in a principal amount
equal to that of the beneficial interest in a
corresponding Regulation S Temporary Global Note for
which the necessary certificates have been delivered,
and
(2) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable
Procedures containing information regarding the account
of the Agent Member, and the Euroclear or Clearstream,
Luxembourg account for which such Agent Member's account
is held, to be credited with, and the account of the
Agent Member to be debited for, such beneficial
interest, and
(D) receipt by the Trustee of notification from the Depositary of
the transactions described in (C) above,
the Trustee, as Registrar, shall instruct the Depositary to reduce the principal
amount of such Regulation S Temporary Global Note and to increase the principal
amount of such Unrestricted
36
<PAGE> 45
Global Note, by the principal amount of the beneficial interest in such
Regulation S Temporary Global Note to be so transferred, and to credit or cause
to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a
beneficial interest in such Unrestricted Global Note having a principal amount
equal to the amount by which the principal amount of such Regulation S Temporary
Global Note was reduced upon such transfer.
(c) Notes that are to be offered and sold to QIBs in accordance with Rule
144A shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form without interest
coupons, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, with such applicable
legends as are provided for in Section 2.4. The Notes issued to QIBs may be
issued in the form of a single Global Note (individually, a "Restricted Global
Note" and, collectively, the "Restricted Global Notes"). Restricted Global Notes
shall be duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as
provided herein and shall be registered in the name of a nominee of the
Depositary and deposited with the Trustee, as Custodian, at its Corporate Trust
Office, for credit to the respective account of the Depositary's Agent Members
who hold interests in such Restricted Global Notes. The aggregate principal
amount of a Restricted Global Note may from time to time be increased or
decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for
the Depositary, as hereinafter provided.
(d) Notes that are to be offered and sold to Institutional Accredited
Investors that are not QIBs, sold in each case to an Institutional Accredited
Investor that has executed and delivered to the Registrar a letter substantially
in the form of Exhibit F hereto (an "Investment Representation Letter"), shall
be issued in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons,
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, with such applicable legends as
are provided for in Section 2.4. The Notes sold to Institutional Accredited
Investors in accordance with the foregoing sentence (individually, a "Definitive
Note" and collectively, the "Definitive Notes") shall not be issued in the form
of global notes, provided, however, that Definitive Notes acquired by QIBs in
accordance with Rule 144A or acquired in reliance on Regulation S may be
exchanged for interests in Global Notes pursuant to Section 3.8(e). Definitive
Notes shall be duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as
provided herein, and shall be registered in the name of the Institutional
Accredited Investor purchasing such Note.
SECTION 2.4 Legends.

SECTION 2.6 Global Notes.
(a) (i) Any Note issued in exchange for a Global Note or any portion
thereof shall be a Global Note, provided, however; that any such Note so issued
that is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or a
nominee thereof shall not be a Global Note. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Indenture, a Global Note shall not be exchanged in whole or in part for
a Note registered in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or one or
more nominees thereof, unless (1) the Depositary (A) notifies the Issuer that it

ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and in either
case the Issuer fails to appoint a successor depositary (as described below) or

<PAGE> 48
(2) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect
to the Notes. Any Global Note exchanged pursuant to clause (1) above shall be so
exchanged from time to time in whole and not in part and any Global Note
exchanged pursuant to clause (2) above may be exchanged from time to time in
whole or in part as directed by the Depositary.
(ii) The Issuer hereby designates DTC as the Depositary with respect to
the Global Notes. If at any time DTC notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or
unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Notes or if at any time DTC has
ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act if so required
by applicable law or regulation, the Issuer shall be entitled to appoint a
successor depositary with respect to each Global Note and provide notice to the
Trustee of such appointment. If (x) a successor depositary for such Global Note
is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after the Issuer receives such
notice or becomes aware of such unwillingness, inability or ineligibility, (y)
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the beneficial owners
representing a majority in principal amount of the Notes represented by such
Global Note advise DTC, with a copy to the Trustee and the Issuer, to cease
acting as depositary for such Global Note or (z) the Issuer, in its sole
discretion, determines at any time that all (but not less than all) Outstanding
Notes issued or issuable in the form of a Global Note shall no longer be
represented by such Global Note and advises the Trustee and DTC of such
determination, then the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, definitive Notes of like class, rank, tenor and terms in definitive
form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such
Global Notes. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so
exchanged as described above, each Global Note shall be surrendered for exchange
by DTC to the Trustee; provided, however, that such exchange is subject to the
terms of Section 3.8(b) herein.
(b) Notes issued in exchange for a Global Note or any portion thereof
shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form, shall have an aggregate
principal amount equal to that of such Global Note or portion thereof to be so
exchanged, shall be registered in such names and be in such authorized
denominations as the Depositary shall designate and shall bear the applicable
legends provided for herein. Any Global Note to be exchanged in whole shall be
surrendered by the Depositary to the Transfer Agent located at the Corporate
Trust Office to be so exchanged. With regard to any Global Note to be exchanged
in part, either such Global Note shall be so surrendered or exchanged or, if the
Trustee is acting as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee with respect to
such Global Note, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced, by an amount
equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an appropriate
adjustment made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such surrender or
adjustment, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Note issuable on such
exchange to or upon the order of the Depositary or an authorized representative
thereof. Any Note delivered in exchange for the Global Note or any portion
thereof shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 3.8, bear the legend
regarding transfer restrictions required by Section 2.5.

paragraph (a) of this Section 2.6, the Issuer will promptly make available to
the Trustee a reasonable supply of certificated Notes of each Class in
definitive, fully registered form.
(e) Neither members of, or participants in, the Depositary ("Agent
Members" and each an "Agent Member") nor any other Person on whose behalf Agent
Members may act shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any
Global Note held on its or their behalf by the Depositary or under any such
Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and
any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee (including, without limitation, the
Servicer) as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the
Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any
written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary
or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of
customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any
Note. With respect to any Global Note deposited on behalf of the subscribers for
the Notes represented thereby with the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary
for credit to their respective accounts (or to such other accounts as they may
direct) at Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, the provisions of the
"Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System" and the "Terms and Conditions

documents on behalf of the Issuer in connection with the performance of the
Issuer's obligations under this Indenture and the other Security Documents
(each, an "Authorized Person"), notwithstanding that such Persons, or any of
them, shall have ceased, for any reason, to be so authorized prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Note or was not so authorized at the date of
any such Note. The Issuer shall have the right to add to or delete from the
names listed on Exhibit D upon written notice to the Trustee and the Servicer
signed by an Authorized Person and, in the case of additions to the list of
Authorized Persons, accompanied by a specimen signature of each newly designated
Authorized Person. The Notes may also have such additional provisions,
omissions, variations or substitutions as are not inconsistent with the
provisions of this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks
of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be
required to comply with any applicable law or with any applicable rules made
pursuant thereto or with the applicable rules of any securities exchange or
governmental agency or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by an
Authorized Person executing such Notes, as conclusively evidenced by their
execution of such Notes. All Notes shall be otherwise substantially identical
except as to denomination and as provided herein.
The Trustee is hereby authorized, upon receipt of Notes duly executed on
behalf of the Issuer for the purposes of the original issuance of such Notes and
receipt of the other documents set forth in Section 3.3, to authenticate such

deliver such Notes to the Issuer or any other Person designated by the Issuer
and, thereafter, to authenticate and deliver Notes in accordance with the
provisions hereinafter set forth.
The Trustee may, with the consent of the Issuer, appoint by an instrument
or instruments in writing one or more Authenticating Agents (which may include
the Trustee itself) for the authentication of Notes and, with such consent, vary
or terminate any such appointment upon written notice and approve any change in
the office through which any Authenticating Agent acts. The Issuer (by written
notice to the Trustee and the Authenticating Agent whose appointment is to be
terminated) may also terminate any such appointment at any time; provided,
however, that if the Trustee is acting as the Authenticating Agent, it may be
terminated as Authenticating Agent only if it is also being terminated as
Trustee. The Trustee hereby agrees to solicit written acceptances from the
entities concerned (in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuer) of such
appointments; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be required to
solicit such written acceptances from any of its Affiliates who act in the
capacity of Paying Agent. In its acceptance of such appointment, each
Authenticating Agent shall agree to act as an authenticating agent pursuant to
the terms and conditions of this Indenture. The Principal Paying Agent and
Paying Agent shall also be Authenticating Agents.

45

Owners to establish a single segregated account with an Eligible Institution,

"Deposit Account") into which all rents, proceeds and all other revenues
obtained by or for the account of the Property Owners from or in connection with
the ownership or operation of the Mortgaged Properties are to be deposited
(other than, in certain circumstances, casualty and condemnation proceeds which
will be deposited in an Eligible Account which is not the Deposit Account or a
sub-account thereof and maintained by the Servicer in accordance with the Cash
Management Agreement). As of the Closing Date, the Deposit Bank shall be Fleet
Bank, N.A. ("Fleet"). The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that,
notwithstanding the definition of Eligible Institution, Fleet shall be deemed to
be an Eligible Institution for purposes of the Indenture and the Mortgage
Security Documents provided that if Fleet's long-term unsecured debt rating
shall not be at least A2 from Moody's and A from DCR (or, if not rated by DCR,
one additional NRSRO) (or its equivalent), Fleet shall no longer be deemed an
Eligible Institution unless a Rating Agency Confirmation is obtained.
Pursuant to the terms of the Cash Management Agreement, (i) prior to the
Closing Date, the Property Owners will be required to send notices to all
tenants at the Mortgaged Properties directing them to pay all rent and other

Account, (ii) the Property Owners will be required to deposit all rents and
other amounts they receive with respect to the Mortgaged Properties into the
Deposit Account, (iii) prior to the Closing Date, the Property Owners will be

accordance with the Management Agreements into the Deposit Account and (iv)
there may be no other accounts maintained by the Property Owners or the Property
Manager into which rents and revenues from the Mortgaged Properties are directly
deposited.
So long as no Triggering Event exists, the Property Owners will be
permitted to withdraw funds from the Deposit Account at any time. The Cash
Management Agreement also requires the Property Owners to (A) pay all Operating
Expenses with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, (B) deposit into the
Collection Account on or prior to each Due Date, the monthly amount of principal
and interest due in respect of the Mortgage Notes which shall be the same as the
monthly amount of principal and interest due in respect of the Notes, (C)
deposit into the Collection Account on or prior to each Due Date, any other
amounts required to be deposited into the Collection Account, (D) make any
required deposits into the Collection Account for further deposit into the Tax

Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event and during its continuance,
neither the Issuer nor any Property Owner will have the right to withdraw funds
from the Deposit Account and from time to time and on or prior to each Due Date
following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event, any
amounts on deposit in the Deposit Account will be applied by the Servicer or,
with respect to a Triggering Event which has not occurred as a result of an
Event of Default, the Deposit Account Bank, pursuant to the terms of the Cash
Management Agreement.
(ii) On or prior to the date hereof, the Servicer shall establish and
maintain a single, segregated account (the "Collection Account"), with an
Eligible Institution (the "Collection Account Bank") which is required to be an
Eligible Account, in the name of the Servicer, as Servicer for the Trustee. The
Collection Account will be under the sole dominion and control of the Servicer,
as Servicer for the Trustee, and neither the Issuer nor any Property Owner will
have the right to withdraw funds from the Collection Account.
(iii) On or prior to the date hereof, the Trustee shall establish a
segregated trust account (the "Payment Account"), in the Trustee's name, which
shall be an Eligible Account, bearing a designation clearly indicating that such
account and all funds deposited therein (including all investments of such
deposited funds and all income or other gain from such investments) are held for
the exclusive benefit of the Holders.
(iv) Prior to the occurrence of a Triggering Event, two Business Days
prior to each Payment Date (each, a "Due Date"), commencing in March, 2000, the
Issuer shall deposit, or cause the Property Owners to deposit on its behalf,
into the Collection Account the amount of interest and principal due in respect
of the Notes on such Payment Date and all other amounts due in respect of such
Due Date pursuant to this Indenture, including Trustee Fees, Servicing Fees,
Special Servicing Fees, Work-out Fees and Liquidation Fees (such amount, the
"Monthly Payment Amount"), as well as the monthly amounts required to be
deposited in the Reserve Accounts (which such amounts shall be transferred by
the Servicer on such Due Date to the applicable Reserve Accounts). As of the
Closing Date, the Collection Account shall be located at PNC Bank, National
Association. The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee and the Issuer of any
change in the location of the Collection Account
The Servicer shall remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Payment Account
all funds then available in (i) the Fee Reserve Account (to the extent allocable
to amounts owed to the Trustee or the Certificate Trustee) and (ii) the
Collection Account (in each case in accordance with the Cash Management
Agreement) at or before 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day
immediately preceding each Payment Date and on the Business Day immediately

respect of any Outstanding Notes on such Payment Date, Redemption Date or
Maturity Date and in
47
<PAGE> 56
respect of any Trustee Fees or other amounts owing to the Trustee or the
Certificate Trustee on such Payment Date, Redemption Date or Maturity Date. If
funds shall not be available to the Servicer to make such deposit at or before
11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the second Business Day immediately preceding each
Payment Date, Redemption Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, then the
same shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder and the Issuer shall owe
interest on such amount as set forth in Section 3.11(d). Notwithstanding any
cure by the Servicer under the provisions of Section 7.24(i), to the extent that
the Servicer does not make such remittances to the Payment Account on the
Business Day preceding each Payment Date, Redemption Date or Maturity Date, as
applicable, the Servicer will be required to pay the Trustee for the account of
the Trustee interest on any amount not timely remitted at the Advance Interest
Rate from and including the first Business Day prior to the Payment Date to but
not including the date such remittance is actually made. The Trustee will
promptly advise the Servicer by facsimile or by e-mail of all amounts received
hereunder. The Trustee shall have exclusive control and sole right of withdrawal
with respect to the Payment Account for the purpose of making withdrawals from
the Payment Account in accordance with this Indenture. Funds in the Payment
Account shall not be commingled with any other monies. Subject to the interests
of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 3.5, all monies deposited from time to

the Payment Account for the benefit of the Holders as provided herein and, to
the extent specified in Section 3.5(d) and Section 6.15, the Issuer.

of the Issuer, (ii) the Servicer shall be entitled to one day's interest on all
funds deposited in the Collection Account (to the extent such interest is
actually earned) and any other interest earned on funds on deposit in the
Collection Account shall accrue for the benefit of the Issuer, (iii) the Special
Servicer shall be entitled to all interest on all funds deposited in the REO
Property Account (to the extent such interest is actually earned), the Trustee
shall be entitled to one day's interest on all funds deposited in the Payment
Account during the period from and including the Business Day prior to the
Payment Date, Redemption Date or Maturity Date, as applicable, to but excluding
the related Payment Date, Redemption Date or Maturity Date, as applicable and
any other interest earned on funds on deposit in the Payment Account shall

reinvested by the Trustee in one or more Eligible Investments specified in the
Issuer Request (or, if no Issuer Request is delivered to the Trustee, then in
accordance with Section 6.14(viii)) only in the event such funds are reasonably

SECTION 3.6 Registration; Paying Agent.
(a) General. The Issuer shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust
Office a register (the "Register"), within the meaning of Section 163(f) of the
Code and any regulations thereunder, for the registration or transfer of the
Notes. The Register shall be maintained by the Trustee, which is hereby
appointed as "Registrar" for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of
Notes as provided herein. The name and address of the Holder of each Note,
records of any transfers of the Notes and the name and address of any transferee
of a Note shall be entered in the Register under such reasonable regulations as
the Trustee may prescribe. There shall be no more than one Holder for each Note,
including all beneficial interests therein. The Trustee may appoint one or more
co-registrars, and the term "Registrar" includes any such co-registrar. The
Registrar shall (i) at all reasonable times during office hours make the
Register available to the Issuer or any Person authorized by the Issuer in
writing for inspection and the making of copies thereof or extracts therefrom
and (ii) mail a copy of the Register to the Issuer or any other such Person
promptly after request therefor from the Issuer.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the Corporate
Trust Office, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form
approved by the Issuer and the Trustee (it being understood that, until notice
to the contrary is given to Holders, the Issuer and the Trustee shall each be
deemed to have approved the form of instrument of transfer, if any, printed on
the Notes), executed by the registered owner, in Person or by such Holder's
attorney thereunto duly authorized in writing, such Note shall be transferred
upon the Register, and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more newly registered Notes of any authorized denominations
and of a like aggregate principal amount. Transfers and exchanges of Notes shall
be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 3.6 and Section 3.8 and
in the text of the Notes and such reasonable regulations as may be prescribed by
the Issuer or Registrar. Successive registrations of transfers as aforesaid may
be made from time to time as desired, and each such registration shall be noted
on the Register.
Any Note (subject, in the case of a Regulation S Temporary Global Note, to
the requirements of Section 2.3(b)) may be exchanged for two or more Notes of
any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2 hereof if the Note to be so
exchanged is surrendered for cancellation at the Corporate Trust Office
accompanied by the written request of the Holder thereof specifying the
denominations of the new Notes to be issued in exchange therefor. New Notes,
executed by the Issuer and payable to such Holder in the denominations so
requested (but in denominations not less than the principal amount of $25,000,
with respect to the Class A Notes, $50,000 with respect to the Class B, Class C,
Class D and Class E Notes, and $100,000 with respect to the Class F Notes, and
in each case integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof (or $250,000 and
integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof for any Notes held by Institutional
Accredited Investors), except as such amounts may be adjusted following a
partial
52
<PAGE> 61
redemption and related elections under Article XI or elsewhere in this
Indenture), and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount
of the surrendered Notes, shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee to
such Holder in exchange for the surrendered Note and any exchange of a Note,
Global Note, Restricted Note, Restricted Global Note or Regulation S Temporary
Global Note provided for in this Indenture shall only be permitted between Notes
of the same Class.
(b) In addition to the Principal Paying Agent, the Trustee may, at its
discretion, appoint one or more Paying Agents and Transfer Agents, and the
Paying Agent, Registrar, Transfer Agent and Authenticating Agent may be the same
Person. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of the name and address of
each Paying Agent appointed by it and of the country or countries in which a
Paying Agent may act in that capacity, and will notify the Issuer of the
resignation or termination of any Paying Agent. Subject to the provisions of
this Section 3.6 and the third paragraph of Section 3.4, the Issuer may vary or
terminate the appointment of any Agent at any time and from time to time upon
giving notice to such Agent and to the Trustee. Each Paying Agent shall have a
long-term unsecured debt rating of not less "A+" (or the equivalent) by each of
the Rating Agencies (or if not so rated, subject to Rating Agency Confirmation).
Each Paying Agent hereunder shall be entitled to the same protections and
exculpations as are available to the Trustee under Article VI hereof.
In respect of the Notes, the Trustee (on behalf of the Issuer) shall cause
notice of any resignation, termination or appointment of any Paying Agent
(including the Principal Paying Agent) or of the Trustee, and of any change in
the office outside the United States through which any such Agent will act, to
be given to the Holders as provided in Section 1.6 hereof.
The Trustee shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any
Agent not a party to this Indenture and shall provide a copy of any such
agreement to the Trustee. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this
Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer of the
name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture.
The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Principal Paying
Agent, Transfer Agent and Authenticating Agent. If the Trustee resigns or is
removed as Trustee hereunder, it shall resign from each of the foregoing
capacities. No such resignation or removal shall preclude the Issuer from
reappointing the retiring Trustee to any such capacity, provided that it
satisfies the rating requirement specified in the first paragraph of this
subsection, if applicable.
SECTION 3.7 Holder Lists.
The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer or any other obligor
upon the Notes shall furnish to the Trustee in writing at least four Business
Days before each Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request
in writing a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably
request of the names and addresses of the Holders.
SECTION 3.8 Transfer and Exchange.
53
<PAGE> 62
(a) General. At the option of each Holder but subject to the provisions of
this Section 3.8, Notes of any Class may be exchanged for other Notes of that
Class of any authorized denomination or denominations and of the same aggregate
principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at any office or
agency of the Trustee appointed in or pursuant to Section 3.6 for such purpose.
Subject to the terms of this Section 3.8, upon surrender for registration of
transfer of any Note at any such office or agency of the Trustee, the Issuer
shall prepare and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee or an Authenticating
Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee
or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denomination or
denominations and of the same aggregate principal amount. The Trustee will,
throughout the term of this Indenture, retain in its permanent records executed
originals of all retired Notes delivered to it in connection with any exchanges
or replacements hereunder.
All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes
shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer evidencing the same debt, and
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered
upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for
exchange shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Registrar) be duly endorsed,
or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Issuer and the Registrar (it being understood that, until notice to the
contrary is given to Holders of Notes, the Issuer and the Registrar shall each
be deemed to have approved the form of instrument of transfer, if any, printed
on any definitive Note), duly executed by the Holder or such Holder's attorney
duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be made for any registration, registration of
transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer and the Trustee shall have the
right to require payment from the Holder requesting any such registration of
transfer or exchange of an amount in United States Dollars sufficient to pay or
discharge any stamp duty, tax or other governmental charge or insurance charge
that may be imposed in connection with such registration of transfer or
exchange.
Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be required to register the
transfer of, or exchange, any Note called for redemption in whole or in part,
except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.
(b) Redemption Period. Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall issue
Notes, register the transfer of Notes or exchange Notes during a period
beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before any selection of
Notes to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date if the Global
Note for which exchange is requested may be among those selected for redemption.
(c) Restricted Notes. Every Restricted Note, including any Note issued
upon transfer or exchange thereof, shall be subject to the restrictions on
transfer provided in the legend required to be set forth on the face of such
Restricted Note pursuant to Section 2.5, unless such restrictions on transfer
shall be waived by the written consent of the Issuer, and the Holder of each
Restricted Note, by such Holder's acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by such
restrictions on transfer. Whenever any Restricted Note that is a Definitive Note
is presented or surrendered for registration of transfer
54
<PAGE> 63
or for exchange for a Note registered in a name other than that of the Holder,
such Restricted Note must be accompanied by (x) a transferor's certificate in
substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B-4 unless such transfer is to an
Institutional Accredited Investor that is not a QIB or (y) in the case of a
transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor that is not a QIB, a
transferee's certificate substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit F.
Neither the Registrar nor any Transfer Agent shall be required to accept for
such registration of transfer or exchange any Restricted Note unless such
Registrar or Transfer Agent is satisfied that such transfer or exchange is being
effected in compliance with the restrictions on transfer as set forth in this
Indenture and in such Notes including that such transfer or exchange was
effected in compliance with Section 3.8(e), (f) or (g) hereof.
The restrictions imposed by this Section 3.8(c) and Section 2.5 upon the
transferability of any particular Restricted Note shall cease and terminate when
such Restricted Note has been (i) sold pursuant to an effective registration
statement, (ii) transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor provision
thereto), unless the transferor in such transfer is an affiliate of the Issuer
within the meaning of Rule 144 (or such successor provision), or (iii)
transferred pursuant to Regulation S. Any Restricted Note as to which such
restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or
shall have terminated may, upon surrender of such Restricted Note for exchange
to the Registrar or any Transfer Agent in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 3.8 (accompanied, in the event that such restrictions on transfer have
terminated by reason of a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 or any successor
provision, by an opinion of counsel having substantial experience in practice
under the Securities Act and otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Issuer,
addressed to the Issuer and in form acceptable to the Issuer, to the effect that
the transfer of such Restricted Note has been made in compliance with Rule 144
or such successor provision) be exchanged for a new Note or Notes, of like
aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required
by Section 2.5. The Issuer shall inform the Trustee of the effective date of any
registration statement registering the Notes under the Securities Act. The
Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in
good faith in accordance with the aforementioned opinion of counsel or
registration statement and the Issuer shall not be liable for any action taken
or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the aforementioned
opinion of counsel.
As used in the preceding two paragraphs of this Section 3.8(c), the term
"transfer" encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer or other disposition of any
Restricted Note.
(d) Transfer of Global Notes and Interests Therein. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Indenture or the Notes, transfers of a Global Note, in
whole or in part, and transfers of interests therein of the kind described in
clauses (iii), (iv) or (v) below, shall be made only in accordance with this
Section 3.8(d), and all transfers of an interest in a Regulation S Temporary
Global Note shall comply with Sections 3.8(d)(ii), (v) and (vi) below.
(i) General. A Global Note may not be transferred, in whole or in
part, to any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof, and no
such transfer to any such other Person may be registered; provided,
however, that this clause (i) shall not prohibit any transfer of a Note
that is issued in exchange for a Global Note but is not itself a Global
Note. No transfer of a Note to any Person shall be effective under this
Indenture or the Notes unless

(and, in the case of any transfer pursuant to Regulation S, the Euroclear and
Clearstream, Luxembourg account for which such Agent Member's account is held,
or if such account is held for Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, the
Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg account, as the case may be) to be credited
with such beneficial interest and (C) an appropriately completed certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit B-4 hereto and (2) the Trustee of (A) the
Restricted Note to be transferred, (B) notification from the Depositary of the
transaction described in (1) above and (C) the certificate described in (l)(C)
above, the Trustee shall cancel the Restricted Note and instruct the Depositary
to increase the principal amount of a Restricted Global Note, Regulation S
Temporary Global Note or Unrestricted Global Note, as the case may be, by the
principal amount of the Restricted Note so transferred, and to credit or cause
to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions
(which, in the case of any increase in the principal amount of such Regulation S
Temporary Global Note, shall be the Agent Member for Euroclear or Clearstream,
Luxembourg or both, as the case may be) a corresponding principal amount of such
Restricted Global Note, such Regulation S Temporary Global Note or such
Unrestricted Global Note. Any transfer of a Restricted Note to a Person who
wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global
Note other than a Restricted Global Note may only be effected in accordance with
Regulation S or Rule 144.
(f) Global Note to Restricted Note (other than a Restricted Global Note).
If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note wishes at any time to
exchange its interest in such Global Note
59
<PAGE> 68
for a Restricted Note (other than a Restricted Global Note), or to transfer its
interest in such Global Note to a Person who is entitled to take delivery
thereof in the form of a Restricted Note (other than a Restricted Global Note),
such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear or
Clearstream, Luxembourg, if applicable, and the Depository, cause the exchange
of such interest for one or more Restricted Note (other than a Restricted Global
Note) of any authorized denomination or denominations and the same Class and
aggregate principal balance. Upon receipt by the Trustee of (1) instructions
from Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, if applicable, and the Depositary
directing the Trustee to countersign and deliver one or more Restricted Notes
(other than a Restricted Global Note) of the same aggregate principal balance as
the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be exchanged, such instructions to
contain the name or names of the designated transferee or transferees, the
authorized denomination or denominations of the Restricted Note (other than a
Restricted Global Note) to be so issued and appropriate delivery instructions,
(2) a certificate given by the proposed transferee of such beneficial interest
in the form of Exhibit C-8 hereto, (3) an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the
Trustee that such transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act, and (4)
such other certifications, Opinions of Counsel or other information as the
Trustee may reasonably require to confirm that such transfer is being made
pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, then the Trustee will instruct
the Depository to reduce, or cause to be reduced, such Global Note by the
aggregate principal balance of the beneficial interest therein to be exchanged
and to debit, or cause to be debited, from the account of the Person making such
transfer the beneficial interest in the Global Note that is being transferred,
and concurrently with such reduction and debit the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver one or more Restricted Notes (other than Restricted Global Notes) of
the same aggregate principal balance in accordance with the instructions
referred to above.
(g) Restricted Note (other than a Restricted Global Note). If a holder of
a Restricted Note (other than a Restricted Global Note) wishes at any time to
exchange such Restricted Note (other than a Restricted Global Note) for one or
more Restricted Notes (other than a Restricted Global Note) of different
principal amount, or if a holder of a Restricted Note (other than a Restricted
Global Note) wishes at any time to transfer all or part of such Restricted Note
(other than a Restricted Global Note) to a person who is required or wishes to
take delivery thereof in the form of a Restricted Note (other than a Restricted
Global Note), such holder may, subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth
herein, in the investment representation letter executed by such transferor and
in such Restricted Note (other than a Restricted Global Note), cause the
exchange of all or part of such Restricted Note (other than a Restricted Global
Note) for one or more Restricted Notes (other than a Restricted Global Note) of
any authorized denomination or denominations. Upon receipt by the Trustee of (1)
such Restricted Note (other than a Restricted Global Note), duly endorsed as
provided herein, (2) instructions from such holder directing the Trustee, to
authenticate and deliver one or more Restricted Notes (other than a Restricted
Global Note) of the same principal balance as the portion of the Restricted Note
to be exchanged, such instructions to contain the name or authorized
denomination or denominations of the Restricted Note to be so issued and
appropriate delivery instructions, (3) a letter in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit F (each, an "Investment Representation Letter") from
the Person acquiring the Restricted Note for which such interest is being
exchanged, (4) an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the Trustee, that such
transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and (5) such other
certifications, Opinions of Counsel or
60
<PAGE> 69
other information as the Trustee shall reasonably require to confirm that such
transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not
subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, then the
Trustee shall cancel, or cause to be canceled, all or part of such Restricted
Note, shall, if applicable, execute, authenticate and deliver to the transferor
a new Restricted Note equal to the aggregate principal balance of the portion
retained by such transferor and concurrently therewith, shall execute,
authenticate and deliver one or more Restricted Notes of the same principal
balance as the portion of the Restricted Note so canceled in accordance with the
instructions referred to above.
(h) Successive registrations and registrations of transfers and exchanges
as aforesaid may be made from time to time as desired, and each such
registration shall be noted on the Register. No service charge shall be made for
any registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, but the Trustee may
require payment by the applicable Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp
duty, tax or other governmental charge or insurance charge payable in connection
therewith and any other amounts required to be paid by the provisions of the
Notes.
(i) All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of
Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt,
and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered
upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
SECTION 3.9 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes.
If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Issuer shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, a
new Note (a "New Note") of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding. Each New Note issued pursuant to this Section
in exchange for, in substitution for, or in lieu of a Predecessor Note shall be
dated the date of, and be in the form of, such Predecessor Note.
If there shall be delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee (i) evidence to
their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (ii) such
security or indemnity as may be required by each of them to save each of them
and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the
Issuer or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
the Issuer shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a New Note of like
tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding. In every case of mutilation or defacement, the applicant shall
surrender to the Trustee the Note so mutilated or defaced. Upon the issuance of
any substitute Note, the Issuer may require the payment by the applicant of a
sum sufficient to cover any stamp duty, tax or other governmental charge or
insurance charge that may be imposed or incurred in relation thereto and any
other expenses connected therewith.
Every New Note issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed,
lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual
obligation of the Issuer evidencing the same debt as the Predecessor Note,
whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time
enforceable by anyone having rights in such New
61
<PAGE> 70
Note thereunder and hereunder, and any such New Note shall be entitled to all
the benefits of this Indenture and of the other Security Documents to the same
extent as such Predecessor Note.
All Notes shall be held and owned upon the express condition that, to the
extent permitted by law, the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to
the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and
shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect
to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes or
negotiable instruments without their surrender.
SECTION 3.10 Interest.
(a) Each Note shall bear interest from and including its date of issuance
to but excluding the date on which the principal balance of such Note is repaid
in full. Such interest shall accrue during each Interest Period and be payable
by the Issuer in arrears for such Interest Period on the related Payment Date
and upon the redemption or maturity thereof. Interest on each Note shall cease
to accrue from Maturity, except to the extent that funds are not available in
the Payment Account to repay such Note in full (taking into account the priority
of application of funds provided herein) at Maturity.
(b) (i) For the period from the initial issuance of the Notes to, but not
including, the Maturity Date, or earlier redemption, the per annum interest rate
for each Interest Period applicable each Class of the Notes shall be (each, the
"Security Interest Rate"):
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Class Security Interest Rate
----- ----------------------
<S> <C>
Class A-1 Notes 7.514%
Class A-2 Notes 7.737%
Class B Notes 7.882%
Class C Notes 8.095%
Class D Notes 8.191%
Class E Notes 8.457%
Class F Notes 8.809%
</TABLE>
(ii) Interest on each Note shall be payable, from the Closing Date to, but
not including the date the principal amount of such Note is paid in full.
Interest on each Note shall be payable monthly on each Payment Date commencing
on the Payment Date occurring in March, 2000 or, during the continuance of an
Event of Default, at the time provided in Section 5.6. Interest on the Notes
shall be computed based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
SECTION 3.11 Principal; Payment of Principal and Interest.
62
<PAGE> 71
(a) (i) On each Payment Date commencing with the Payment Date occurring in
April, 2000, the Issuer shall pay the Principal Installment Amount due on such
Payment Date subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(ii) and Section
4.3(b) below. All payments of Principal Installment Amounts shall be applied
first, to the Class A-1 Notes until the Class A-1 Notes have been repaid in
full; second to the Class A-2 Notes until the Class A-2 Notes have been repaid
in full; third to the Class B Notes until the Class B Notes have been repaid in
full; fourth to the Class C Notes until the Class C Notes have been repaid in
full; fifth to the Class D Notes until the Class D Notes have been repaid in
full; sixth to the Class E Notes until the Class E Notes have been repaid in
full; and seventh to the Class F Notes until the Class F Notes have been repaid
in full, provided during the continuance of an Event of Default payments of
Principal Installment Amounts on the Class A-1 and Class A-2 Notes shall be made
pro rata.
(ii) If at any time, and from time to time, any portion of the Notes are
redeemed pursuant to Article XI hereof then the Principal Installment Amounts
(and Exhibit H hereto) shall be adjusted by the Servicer as follows:
(A) If no portion of the Notes have been defeased prior to such
redemption, then an adjustment shall be made such that the Principal Installment
Amounts will equal the amounts necessary to fully amortize the principal balance
of all Outstanding Notes (after giving effect to such redemption) over the
remaining term of the original 30 year amortization schedule and assuming an
interest rate equal to the then current (after giving effect to such redemption)
weighted average interest rate on the Notes; or
(B) If a portion of the Notes have been defeased prior to such redemption,
then an adjustment shall be made to the Undefeased Amortization Schedule (as
defined in Section 4.3(b)) only, such that the Principal Installment Amounts on
the Undefeased Amortization Schedule will equal the amounts necessary to fully
amortized the principal balance of all undefeased Outstanding Notes (after
giving effect to such redemption) over the remaining term of the original 30
year amortization schedule and assuming an interest rate equal to the then
current (after giving effect to such redemption and excluding any defeased
portion of the Notes) weighted average interest rate on the undefeased Notes.
(iii) If at any time, and from time to time, any portion of the Notes are
defeased pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof, then the Principal Installment Amounts
(see Exhibit H hereto) shall be adjusted by the Servicer as provided in Section
4.3(b) hereof.
(iv) The Issuer hereby authorizes and directs the Trustee to make or cause
to be made payment, from funds available in the Payment Account and any other
funds made available to the Trustee for such purpose, of the principal of and
any interest on the Notes as set forth in this Indenture.
(b) Subject to the provisions set forth below with respect to Default
Premium, any interest and Principal Installment Amounts on the Notes shall be
paid on each Payment Date to the Person who was the Holder thereof at the close
of business on the Regular Record Date for such Payment
63
<PAGE> 72
Date; provided, however, that interest payable at Maturity of the Notes shall be
payable to the Person to whom principal shall be payable. Payments of principal
of the Notes (other than Principal Installment Amounts) shall be payable at
Maturity against surrender thereof at the Corporate Trust Office and at the
offices of such other Paying Agents as the Trustee shall have appointed pursuant
to Section 3.6(b).
(c) So long as the Notes are held through the Depositary's book-entry
system, payments of interest and principal on the Notes will be made, subject to
applicable laws and regulations, by wire transfer from the Trustee to the
Depositary and will be forwarded to beneficial owners in accordance with the
payment procedures of the Depositary and the Agent Members thereof. If any Note
is not held through the Depositary, payments of principal (other than Principal
Installment Amounts) with respect to the Notes shall be made at Maturity upon
surrender of such Notes and payments of any interest or Principal Installment
Amounts on such Notes shall be made on the applicable Payment Date, in
accordance with the foregoing and subject to applicable laws and regulations, by
check mailed on or before the due date for such payment to the Person entitled
thereto at such Person's address appearing on the Register, or, in the case of
payments of principal at Maturity, to such other address as the Holder shall
provide in writing at the time of such surrender (or, in the case of a Holder
that provides the Trustee with wire instructions and complies with any other
reasonable requirements of the Principal Paying Agent, by wire transfer to such
account as such Holder shall designate by written instruction received by the
Principal Paying Agent not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Regular
Record Date).
(d) If (i) prior to the Maturity Date, for any reason, interest or
scheduled principal amortization on any Note is not provided for (including by
deposit in the Collection Account) by the Issuer on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New
York time) on the date which is two (2) Business Days prior to the Payment Date
on which such interest or scheduled principal amortization is due, (ii) on the
date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date, the principal of
any Note is not provided for (including by deposit in the Collection Account) by
the Issuer on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on such date or (iii) on
the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to any Redemption Date, the
principal of all Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date is not provided
for (including by deposit in the Collection Account) by the Issuer on or prior
to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on such date, the Issuer will be required to pay
default interest at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (A) the Security
Interest Rate applicable thereto plus 3% or (B) the Advance Interest Rate (such
greater rate, the "Default Rate") for every day that such nonpayment continues
until the Issuer has paid all such amounts and any other amounts then due and
payable under this Indenture and the other Security Documents. The excess of the
Default Rate over the Security Interest Rate is the "Default Premium." Default
Premium will be applied to fund interest at the Advance Interest Rate on any
Advances made by the Servicer or Special Servicer (or the Trustee or Fiscal
Agent, as applicable), in accordance with Section 5.6 and the excess, if any, of
the Default Premium paid over interest on Advances at the Advance Interest Rate,
will be remitted to the Default Premium Reserve Account maintained by the
Servicer pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Cash Management Agreement;
provided, however, that payments of any Default Premium to Holders will be
subordinate to payments of principal and interest and certain other items as set
forth in Section 5.6. If the Issuer defaults in the timely payment of interest
or scheduled principal amortization on any Notes as
64
<PAGE> 73
provided in the first sentence of this section and the Servicer (or the Trustee
or the Fiscal Agent, as applicable) is not required to make, or defaults in its
obligation to make, an Interest Advance, the Holders of such Notes will be
entitled to receive 100% of the Default Premium payable by the Issuer in respect
of such default, which amounts shall be payable as provided in Section 5.6;
provided, however, that payments of any such Default Premium to Holders will be
subordinate to payments of principal and interest and certain other items as set
forth in Section 5.6.
If any principal or interest due under the Notes is not paid by the Issuer
on the day it is due, the Issuer shall pay a late payment charge in an amount
equal to the lesser of 3% of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by
applicable law.
All such late payment charges shall be retained by the Servicer as
additional Servicing compensation.
(e) At the Maturity Date of the Notes, the Trustee shall pay the principal
amount of each Note, and any unpaid interest thereon in immediately available
funds from funds in the Payment Account as promptly as possible after
presentation to the Trustee of such Note but shall initiate such payment no
later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day of such presentation, provided
that such presentation has been made no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time).
If presentation is made after 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on any day, such
presentation shall be deemed to have been made not later than 11:00 a.m. (New
York time) on the immediately succeeding Business Day.
(f) In the event that a Note is not presented for payment by 11:00 a.m.
(New York time) on the Maturity Date, the Trustee shall transfer any principal
thereof and interest thereon to the Holdover Account. If the Holder of such Note
shall present such Note to the Trustee within two (2) years after the Maturity
Date, the Trustee shall pay such Note from funds in the Holdover Account. In no
event (other than following a default by the Issuer) shall such Note earn
interest after the Maturity Date. If such Note is not presented for payment
within two (2) years after the Maturity Date, the Trustee shall not honor a
demand for payment of such Note and the Trustee shall act in accordance with
Section 6.15 in respect of the unclaimed funds in the Holdover Account in
respect of such Note.
(g) If at 4:00 p.m. (New York time) of any day beginning on the Maturity
Date, any funds remaining in the Payment Account after (i) the payment of each
Note which is presented by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) for payment on such date
and (ii) the transfer of funds to the Holdover Account pursuant to Section
3.11(f) for each Note which is not presented for payment on such date (or is
presented after 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on such date), then such remaining
funds shall be transferred by the Trustee to the Issuer in accordance with
written wire transfer instructions given by the Issuer to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.12 Interest on New Notes.
65
<PAGE> 74
Interest shall be deemed to have been paid on each New Note issued
pursuant to Section 3.9 hereof in exchange for, in substitution for, or in lieu
of a Predecessor Note to the date to which interest was paid on such Predecessor
Note.
SECTION 3.13 Cancellation.
(a) All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of
transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee,
be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by it. The Issuer may
at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any
manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the
Trustee.
(b) No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any
Notes canceled as provided in this Section 3.13, except as expressly permitted
by this Indenture. All canceled Notes held by the Trustee shall be retained by
the Trustee in accordance with Section 3.8(a).
SECTION 3.14 Information.
For so long as any of the Notes remain Outstanding and are "restricted
securities" within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, the
Issuer will, during any period in which the Issuer is neither subject to Section
13 or 15(d) under the Exchange Act nor exempt from reporting under the Exchange
Act pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) thereunder, make available to any Holder of a
Restricted Note or any owner of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global
Note, to a prospective purchaser of such Note or beneficial interest therein who
is a QIB, or to the Trustee for delivery to such Holder or beneficial owner or
prospective purchaser, as the case may be, in connection with any sale thereof,
in each case at a Holder's or the Trustee's written request to the Issuer, the
Rule 144A Information; provided, that the Issuer shall not be required to
furnish such information at any time to a prospective purchaser located outside
the United States who is not a "U.S. person" within the meaning of Regulation S
if such Note may then be sold to such prospective purchaser in accordance with
Rule 904 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto).
SECTION 3.15 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.
The Trustee shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to
agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of
Holders and the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of
principal of or interest on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any Event
of Default by the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes in making any such
payment or in depositing the funds to make such payment with the Paying Agent.
While any such Event of Default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying
Agent to pay all money and other property, if any, held by it to the Trustee.

ARTICLE IV
RELEASE OF MORTGAGED PROPERTIES; SATISFACTION
AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE
SECTION 4.1 Release.
Upon the release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage
or any portion of the other Collateral from the lien and security interest of
this Indenture, the Mortgage or any other Security Document in accordance with
the relevant provisions hereof and thereof, the Trustee and the Servicer (if
applicable) shall execute such instruments as may be reasonably requested and
presented by the Issuer to effect and/or acknowledge such release which shall be
at the expense of the Issuer. The above-referenced instruments may include, at
the Issuer's election, (i) one or more amendments and/or restatements of the
Mortgage, the Mortgage Notes, the Assignment of Leases and/or any other Security
Document (in each case, without any representation or warranty by or recourse to
the Trustee or the Servicer) as may be appropriate to separate the liens created
thereby against the Mortgaged Property to be released (as used herein, the
"Release Property") from the liens encumbering the remaining Mortgaged
Properties and, thereafter, one or more assignments of the resulting Security
Documents relating to the Release Property to any designee or nominee of the
Issuer and the Property Owners and (ii) such uniform commercial code financing
statements, each in customary form and as may be mutually agreed upon by the
Issuer and the Trustee; provided, however, that neither the Trustee nor the
Servicer shall be required to take any action or execute any instruments
pursuant to the foregoing unless such entity is satisfied, in its reasonable
judgment, that such action or instrument will not compromise in any way the
validity or enforceability of the lien of any Security Document with respect to
any of the Mortgaged Properties that are not Release Property. Concurrently with
any release transaction contemplated hereby or by the Mortgage, the Trustee and
Servicer shall return to the Issuer the duplicate originals of any amendment or
restatement of any collateral agreement to which it is a party which relates
solely to the Release Property and in which the Trustee or Servicer, as
applicable, will no longer have any interest after such release.
SECTION 4.2 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.
This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to any
surviving rights of transfer or exchange of Notes herein expressly provided for
and except in the case of clause (1)(b) below, for the rights of the Holders of
the Notes hereunder to receive payment of the principal of and interest on the
Notes, and any other rights of the Holders of the Notes hereunder with respect
to amounts deposited with the Trustee), and the Trustee, at the expense of the
Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture and release of the Collateral to the Issuer, when
(1) either
67
<PAGE> 76
(a) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than
(i) Notes that have been destroyed, lost or stolen and that have been
replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.9 and (ii) Notes for which
payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and
held in trust by the Trustee and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or
discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 6.15) have been
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or
(b) all such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation
(i) have become due and payable, or
(ii) will become due and payable at their Maturity Date within
one (1) year, or
(iii) 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
Issuer,
and, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, the Issuer has deposited or caused
to be deposited with or delivered to the Trustee as trust funds in trust for
these purposes Cash and Eligible Investments with Collateral Value sufficient,
without consideration of any reinvestment of interest therefrom, to pay and
discharge the entire indebtedness on such Notes not theretofore delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation, for principal and any interest to the date of such
deposit (in the case of Notes that have become due and payable) or to the
Maturity Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be; provided, however, that,
in the case of (ii) or (iii) above with respect to Notes that are not yet due
and payable, the Issuer shall direct by Issuer Order how any Cash received
pursuant to this Section 4.2 will be invested and no satisfaction and discharge
will be permitted unless the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel addressed to the Issuer and the Trustee from counsel experienced in
federal income tax matters to the effect that, based on such stipulations of the
Issuer, any action taken pursuant to this Section 4.2 will not be treated as an
exchange pursuant to Section 1001 of the Code; provided, further, however, that
such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required if both the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture, on the one hand, and the Maturity Date or
Redemption Date of the Notes, on the other hand, will occur in the same calendar
year;
(2) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable
hereunder and under the other Security Documents by the Issuer to the Trustee,
and each of the Holders; and
(3) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate
stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the provisions of Section
1.12 and Section 1.14 hereof, the Issuer's obligations under this Indenture and
in respect of the Notes shall survive the discharge of this Indenture if and to
the extent that any payment of any amount paid by the Issuer to the Trustee or
any Holder is avoided as a preferential transfer or otherwise rescinded or
required to
68
<PAGE> 77
be restored under applicable law. Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge
of this Indenture, the obligations of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Special
Servicer or the Holders or Directing Holders, as applicable, to satisfy
indemnification obligations under any provision of this Indenture, and the
obligation of the Trustee to the Holders of Notes under Section 6.15 hereof
shall survive.
SECTION 4.3 Defeasance of Notes.
(a) In connection with the prepayment in full by the Property Owners of
the then outstanding aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Notes prior to
the date that is ninety (90) days prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date (other
than pursuant to Section 15, 16 or 45 of the Mortgage), provided no Event of
Default shall have occurred and remains uncured, and in order to obtain a
release of the Lien of the Mortgage encumbering all of the Mortgaged Properties
(a "Total Defeasance") the Issuer shall provide (or cause the Property Owners to
provide) the following:

defeasance; provided, however, that the Issuer shall provide to the Servicer a
non-binding notice of the Issuer's intent to defease the Notes at least 30 days
prior to the projected date of defeasance;
(ii) on or prior to the Defeasance Date the Issuer shall pay into
the Collection Account (A) all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal
balance of the Notes (other than any previously defeased Notes) to and including
the Defeasance Date (or, if the Defeasance Date is not a Payment Date, to but
excluding the next succeeding Payment Date) and (B) all other sums then due
under the Notes, this Indenture and the other Indenture Security Documents;
(iii) The Issuer shall deposit the Total Defeasance Collateral into
the Defeasance Collateral Account and otherwise comply with the provisions of
Sections 4.3(c) and 4.3(d) hereof;

Agreement in respect of the Defeasance Collateral Account and the Total
Defeasance Collateral;

for the Issuer that would be satisfactory to a prudent lender (with customary
exceptions and assumptions) opining that (A) the Trustee has a legal and valid
perfected first priority security interest in the Defeasance Collateral Account
and the Total Defeasance Collateral, (B) the defeasance does not constitute an
exchange pursuant to Section 1001 of the Code, (C) a defeasance pursuant to this
Section 4.3(a) will not adversely effect the status of the Notes as indebtedness
for federal income tax purposes, (D) delivery of the Total Defeasance Collateral
and the grant of a security interest therein to the Trustee shall not constitute
an avoidable preference under Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable
state law (counsel may rely on the fact that the appraised values of the
Mortgaged Properties being released are equal to or greater than the value of
the Total Defeasance Collateral) and (E) if there is a Separate Issuer, a
non-consolidation opinion with respect to the Separate Issuer;
69
<PAGE> 78
(vi) Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee a Rating Agency
Confirmation with respect to the Total Defeasance;
(vii) The Issuer shall deliver an Officer's Certificate certifying
that the requirements set forth in this Section 4.3(a) have been satisfied;
(viii) The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Servicer a
certificate of the Issuer's nationally recognized independent certified public
accountant (which certificate may be conclusively relied upon by the Trustee and
the Servicer absent manifest error) certifying that the Total Defeasance
Collateral will have a Collateral Value and will generate monthly amounts equal
to or greater than the Scheduled Defeasance Payments; and
(ix) The Issuer shall pay all costs and expenses of the Trustee and
the Servicer incurred in connection with the defeasance, including their
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and Rating Agency fees and expenses.
If the requirements of this Section 4.3(a) have been satisfied, all
of the Mortgaged Properties shall be released from the Lien of the Mortgage and
any other Security Documents, the Total Defeasance Collateral, pledged pursuant
to the Security Agreement, shall be the sole source of collateral securing the
Notes, and the Issuer shall be released from its obligations under the Notes and
the other Security Documents (except with respect to obligations that
specifically survive the repayment of the Loan) upon the assumption of the
Issuer's obligations by a Separate Issuer. In connection with the release of the
Liens, the Issuer shall submit to the Servicer, not less than fifteen (15) days
prior to the Defeasance Date, a release of Lien (and related Security Documents)
for execution by the Trustee. Such release shall be in a form appropriate in
each jurisdiction in which a Mortgaged Property is located and that would be
satisfactory to a prudent lender. In addition, the Issuer shall provide all
other documentation the Servicer reasonably requires to be delivered by the
Issuer or the Property Owners in connection with such release together with an
Officer's Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance
with all Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such release in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. The Issuer shall pay all costs, taxes and
expenses associated with the release of the Lien of the Mortgage, including the
Servicer's and Trustee's reasonable attorneys' fees.
(b) In connection with the prepayment by the Property Owners of a portion
of the then outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Notes prior to the
date that is ninety (90) days prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date (other than
pursuant to Section 15, 16 or 45 of the Mortgage), provided no Event of Default
shall have occurred and remain uncured (unless the release of the Release
Property will cure such Event of Default), and in order to obtain a release of
the Lien of the Mortgage encumbering one or more (but not all) Mortgaged
Properties (a "Partial Defeasance") the Issuer shall provide (or cause the
Property Owners to provide) the following:
(i) to the Servicer, fifteen (15) days prior written notice
specifying (A) a date (the "Partial Defeasance Date") on which the Issuer shall
have satisfied the conditions in this Section 4.3(b) and shall effect the
defeasance; provided, however, that the Issuer shall provide to the Servicer
70
<PAGE> 79
a non-binding notice of the Issuer's intent to defease the Notes at least 30
days prior to the projected date of defeasance and (B) the Mortgaged Property or
Properties proposed to be released from the Lien of the Mortgage (individually a
"Release Property" and collectively the "Released Properties");
(ii) on or prior to the Partial Defeasance Date the Issuer shall pay
into the Collection Account (A) all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal
balance of the portion of the Notes to be defeased to and including the Partial

excluding the next succeeding Payment Date) and (B) all other sums then due
under the Notes, this Indenture, and the other Indenture Security Documents;
(iii) the Issuer shall deposit the Partial Defeasance Collateral
into the Defeasance Collateral Account and otherwise comply with the provisions

(iv) the Issuer shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a Security
Agreement in respect of the Defeasance Collateral Account and the Partial
Defeasance Collateral;
(v) Immediately after giving effect to the release of the Lien of
the Mortgages encumbering the Release Property or Properties the Debt Service
Coverage Ratio is not less than the greater of (A) the Debt Service Coverage
Ratio as of the most recent Debt Service Coverage Ratio Calculation Date
immediately preceding such release, and (B) 1.56:1;
(vi) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Servicer and the Rating
Agencies shall have received from the Issuer with respect to the matters
referred to in clause (v), (A) statements of the Net Cash Flow and Debt Service
(both on a consolidated basis and separately for the Release Property or
Properties) for the applicable measuring period, (B) based on the foregoing
statements of Net Cash Flow and Debt Service, calculations of the Debt Service
Coverage Ratio after giving effect to the proposed release and (C) a calculation
of the Debt Service Coverage Ratio referred to in such clause (v), accompanied
by an Officer's Certificate stating that such statements, calculations and
information are true, correct and complete in all material respects;
(vii) the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel
for Issuer that would be reasonably satisfactory to a prudent lender (with
customary exceptions and assumptions) opining, among other things, that (A) the
Trustee has a legal and valid perfected security interest in the Defeasance
Collateral Account and the Partial Defeasance Collateral, (B) the defeasance
does not constitute an exchange pursuant to Section 1001 of the Code (C) a
defeasance pursuant to this Section 4.3(b) will not adversely effect the status
of the Notes as indebtedness for federal income tax purposes, (D) delivery of
the Partial Defeasance Collateral and the grant of a security interest therein
to the Trustee shall not constitute an avoidable preference under Section 547 of
the Bankruptcy Code or applicable state law (counsel may rely on the fact that
the appraised values of the Release Properties are equal to or greater than the
value of the Partial Defeasance Collateral) and (E) if there is a Separate

<PAGE> 80
(ix) the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Servicer a
certificate of the Issuer's nationally recognized independent certified public

and the Servicer absent manifest error) certifying that the Partial Defeasance
Collateral will have a Collateral Value and will generate monthly amounts equal
to or greater than the Scheduled Defeasance Payments;
(x) the Issuer shall deliver to the Servicer an Officer's
Certificate certifying that the requirements set forth in this Section 4.3(b)
have been satisfied; and
(xi) the Issuer shall pay all costs and expenses of the Trustee and
the Servicer incurred in connection with the defeasance, including their
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and Rating Agency expenses.
If the Issuer has elected to make a Partial Defeasance and the
requirements of this Section 4.3(b) have been satisfied, the Release Property or
Release Properties shall be released from the Lien of their Mortgage. The Issuer
shall be released from its obligations under the Loan (except with respect to
obligations that specifically survive the repayment of the Loan) upon the
assumption of such obligations by a Separate Issuer. In connection with the
release of the Lien, the Issuer shall submit to the Servicer, not less than
fifteen (15) days prior to the Partial Defeasance Date, a release of Lien (and
related Security Documents) for execution by the Trustee. Such release shall be
in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which such Property is located and
that would be satisfactory to a prudent lender. In addition, the Issuer shall
provide all other documentation the Servicer reasonably requires to be delivered
by the Issuer in connection with such release, together with an Officer's
Certificate certifying that such documentation (I) is in compliance with all
Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such releases in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement. The Issuer shall pay all costs, taxes and expenses
associated with the release of the Lien of the Mortgage, including the Trustee's
and the Servicer's reasonable attorneys' fees. The Issuer shall cause title to
the Mortgaged Property so released from the Lien of the Mortgage to be
transferred to and held by a Person other than a Property Owner or shall cause
the relevant Property Owner to no longer be owned by the Issuer.
In connection with a Partial Defeasance (the "Current Defeasance"), the
Principal Installment Amounts shall be split into two separate schedules and
Exhibit H shall be so revised. One schedule will be based on the principal
amount of the Notes that are being Partially Defeased (the "Defeased
Amortization Schedule") and the other schedule will be based on the principal
amount of the undefeased portion of the Notes (the "Undefeased Amortization
Schedule"). In connection with any subsequent Partial Defeasance, the Undefeased
Amortization Schedule shall be split in the manner described below. The
Principal Installment Amounts set forth on the Defeased Amortization Schedule
shall equal the original Principal Installment Amounts set forth on Exhibit H
(or if a prior defeasance has occurred, the Principal Installment Amounts on the
current Undefeased Amortization Schedule) multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of Notes being defeased in
the Current Defeasance (if any) and the denominator of which is $61,746,707.91
minus the aggregate principal amount that have been defeased prior to the
Current Defeasance (but excluding any Notes that are to be defeased in
connection with the Current
72
<PAGE> 81
Defeasance). The Principal Installment Amounts set forth on the Undefeased
Amortization Schedule shall equal the original Principal Installment Amounts set
forth on Exhibit H (or, if a prior defeasance has occurred, the Principal
Installment Amounts on the current Undefeased Amortization Schedule) multiplied
by a fraction, the numerator of which is $61,746,707.91 minus the aggregate
principal amount of Notes that have been defeased (after giving effect to the
Current Defeasance), and the denominator of which is $61,746,707.91 minus the
aggregate principal amount of Notes that have been defeased prior to the Current
Defeasance (but excluding any Notes that are to be defeased in connection with
the Current Defeasance). The Payment Date for the Principal Installment Amounts
shall not be revised pursuant to this paragraph. In calculating the Scheduled
Defeasance Payments for a Partial Defeasance, scheduled amortization will be
based upon the Defeased Amortization Schedule created in connection with such
Partial Defeasance.
Any Partial Defeasance of the Notes shall be applied in the following
order of priority: first, to the Class A-1 Notes until the Class A-1 Notes have
been defeased or redeemed in full; second to the Class A-2 Notes until the Class
A-2 Notes have been defeased or redeemed in full; third to the Class B Notes
until the Class B Notes have been defeased or redeemed in full; fourth to the
Class C Notes until the Class C Notes have been defeased or redeemed in full;
fifth to the Class D Notes until the Class D Notes have been defeased or
redeemed in full; sixth to the Class E Notes until the Class E Notes have been
defeased or redeemed in full; and seventh to the Class F Notes until the Class F
Notes have been defeased or redeemed in full. In calculating the Scheduled
Defeasance Payments for a Partial Defeasance interest payments will be based on
the Security Interest Rate for the Class of Note to which the Partial Defeasance
is applied.
(c) On or before the date on which the Issuer delivers the Total
Defeasance Collateral or Partial Defeasance Collateral, the Issuer or a Separate
Issuer shall open at any Eligible Institution the defeasance collateral account
(the "Defeasance Collateral Account") which shall at all times be an Eligible
Account. The Defeasance Collateral Account shall contain only (i) Total
Defeasance Collateral or Partial Defeasance Collateral, as applicable, and (ii)
cash from interest and principal paid on the Total Defeasance Collateral or
Partial Defeasance Collateral. All cash from interest and principal payments
paid on the Total Defeasance Collateral or Partial Defeasance Collateral shall
be paid over to the Collection Account two Business Days immediately preceding
each Payment Date for deposit into the Payment Account on the Business Day
immediately preceding each Payment Date and applied first to accrued and unpaid
interest and then to principal with respect to the defeased portion of the
Notes. Any cash from interest and principal paid on the Total Defeasance
Collateral or Partial Defeasance Collateral not needed to pay accrued and unpaid
interest or principal (or Trustee or Servicer fees) shall be retained in the
Defeasance Collateral Account as additional collateral for the Loan. The Issuer
shall cause the Eligible Institution at which the Total Defeasance Collateral
and Partial Defeasance Collateral are deposited to enter an agreement with the
Issuer and Trustee, satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole discretion, pursuant
to which such Eligible Institution shall agree to hold and distribute the Total
Defeasance Collateral or Partial Defeasance Collateral, as applicable, in
accordance with this Indenture. The Issuer or the Separate Issuer, as
applicable, shall be the owner of the Defeasance Collateral Account and shall
report all income accrued on the Total Defeasance Collateral and Partial
Defeasance Collateral for federal, state and local income tax purposes in its
income tax return. The Issuer shall prepay all costs and expenses
73
<PAGE> 82
associated with opening and maintain the Defeasance Collateral Account. Neither
the Trustee nor the Servicer shall in any way be liable by reason of any
insufficiency in the Defeasance Collateral Account.
(d) In connection with a Total Defeasance or Partial Defeasance under this
Section 4.3, the Issuer may establish or designate a successor entity (the
"Separate Issuer") which shall be a single purpose bankruptcy remote entity that
is not directly or indirectly owned by the Issuer, provided, however, the
Separate Issuer may be directly or indirectly owned by Vornado and/or VRLP. The
Issuer may transfer and assign all obligations, rights and duties under and to
the defeased portion of the Notes, together with the Total Defeasance Collateral
or the Partial Defeasance Collateral, as applicable, to such Separate Issuer.
Such Separate Issuer shall assume the obligations under the defeased portion of
the Notes and the Security Agreement and the Issuer shall be relieved of its
obligations under such documents. The Issuer shall pay $1,000 to any such
Separate Issuer as consideration for assuming the obligations under the defeased
portion of the Notes and the Security Agreement.
SECTION 4.4 Application of Trust Money.
Subject to Section 4.6, the Trustee shall hold in trust Cash or Eligible
Investments deposited with it pursuant to Section 4.2 or Section 4.3 of this
Indenture, as the case may be, and shall apply the deposited Cash and the money
from Eligible Investments in accordance with this Indenture to the payment
either directly or through any Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine, to
Persons entitled thereto, of principal of and interest on the Notes.
SECTION 4.5 Repayment to Issuer.
Subject to the other provisions of this Indenture and any other applicable
Security Documents, the Trustee shall promptly pay to the Issuer upon written
request any excess money held by it in the Payment Account or any other account
established by the Trustee in furtherance of its rights or obligations under
this Indenture of any other Security Document (exclusive of money to be held by
the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.15) at any time and thereupon shall be
relieved from all liability with respect to such money.
SECTION 4.6 Reinstatement.
If the Trustee is unable to apply any Cash or Eligible Investments in
accordance with Section 4.2 or Section 4.3 by reason of any legal proceeding or
by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer's
obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated
as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 4.2 or Section 4.3 until
such time as the Trustee has received the final order or decree of such court or
governmental authority permitting it to apply all such Cash or Eligible
Investments in accordance with Section 4.2 or Section 4.3, as applicable;
provided that, if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of or interest on
any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be
subrogated
74
<PAGE> 83
to the rights of the Holders of the Notes to receive such payment from the Cash
or Eligible Investment held by the Trustee.

SECTION 5.1 Events of Default.
"Event of Default", wherever used herein with respect to Notes, means the

there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuer by the
Trustee (or the Servicer on the Trustee's behalf) a written notice specifying
such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such
notice is a "Notice of Default" under this Indenture; provided that in the case
of any such failure that is susceptible of cure but that cannot with diligence
be cured within such thirty (30) day period, if the Issuer shall have promptly
commenced to cure the same within such thirty (30) day period (as shall be
evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee and
the Servicer) and shall thereafter prosecute the curing thereof with diligence,
the period within which such failure may be cured shall be extended for such
further period as shall be reasonably necessary for the curing thereof, although
such extended period shall not exceed 180 days; or
(4) the entry by a court having jurisdiction over the Issuer of (A) a

adjudging the Issuer a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a
petition seeking reorganization, rehabilitation, arrangement, adjustment or

75
<PAGE> 84
under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
rehabilitation or other similar law, or appointing a custodian, receiver,
liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the
Issuer or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or

period of 60 days; or
(5) the commencement by the Issuer 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

relief 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 it, or
the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or
relief under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, or the
consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking
possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator
or similar official of the Issuer or of any substantial part of its property, or
the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission
by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due,
or the taking of action by the Issuer in furtherance of any such action; or
(6) an "Event of Default" as defined in the Mortgage or in any of the
other Security Documents shall have occurred and be continuing beyond any
applicable grace period.
SECTION 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then in every such case
the Special Servicer may to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standards
(subject to the rights of the Directing Holders set forth in Section 5.12(a))
and at the direction of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Notes (subject to the rights of the
Directing Holders set forth in Section 5.12(a)) shall, by a notice in writing to
the Issuer and the Trustee, declare the sum of (i) the principal amount of all
Outstanding Notes and Mortgage Notes and (ii) any other amounts, including but
not limited to, accrued interest payable to the Holders under the Notes, to the
extent such amounts are permitted by law to be paid, to be due and payable
immediately, and upon any such declaration such amounts shall become immediately
due and payable.
At any time after such an automatic acceleration or a declaration of
acceleration of the Notes and Mortgage Notes has been made and before a judgment
or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee or the
Servicer as hereinafter provided in this Article, and subject to (i) the rights
of the Directing Holders set forth in Section 5.12(a) and (ii) the Servicer's
and Special Servicer's obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing
Standards, the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% in aggregate principal amount of
the Outstanding Notes by written notice to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Servicer
and the Special Servicer, may rescind and annul such declaration and its
consequences if
(1) the Issuer has paid or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or the
Servicer or Special Servicer on the Trustee's behalf) a sum sufficient to pay:
76
<PAGE> 85
(a) all interest due and payable on all Outstanding Notes,
(b) the principal of any Outstanding Notes that have become due, if
any, otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, and interest and
all other amounts due thereon at the rate or rates or in the amount
prescribed therefor in such Notes,
(c) all sums Advanced (with interest thereon at the Advance Interest
Rate) or paid by the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Special Servicer or
the Servicer hereunder and by the Certificate Trustee under the
Declaration of Trust and the reasonable compensation, expenses, Advances
(with interest thereon at the Advance Interest Rate) and disbursements of
the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Trustee, the Special
Servicer and the Servicer and its agents and counsel, and
(d) any other amounts then due and payable under the Indenture or
any other Indenture Security Document (other than principal that became
due solely as a consequence of such acceleration);
and
(2) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of
the Outstanding Notes which has become due solely by such declaration of
acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13 and all
"Events of Default" under the Mortgage, other than the non-payment of the
principal of the Mortgage Notes which has become due solely by a declaration of
acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right
consequent thereon.
If the Issuer fails to make a payment when due, and then delivers to the
Trustee funds sufficient to make all payments current, absent acceleration, and
the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee on behalf of the Holders
agrees in writing to accept such payment and to rescind the declaration of an
Event of Default or acceleration, or Holders of not less than 66-2/3% in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, prior to an acceleration,
agree to rescind the declaration of an Event of Default, in either case, the
Holders shall also be deemed to waive the right to claim that the failure to
make the payment when due was an Event of Default and is continuing.
SECTION 5.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
Servicer.
If the Issuer fails to pay all amounts due upon an acceleration under
Section 5.2 forthwith upon demand, the Special Servicer (on behalf of the
Trustee) may (subject to the rights of the Directing Holders set forth in
Section 5.12(a) and in accordance with the Servicing Standards) institute a
judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may
prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may take any action or
remedy available under the Uniform Commercial Code and, subject to the
provisions of this Agreement, may enforce the same against the Issuer and
collect the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided
77
<PAGE> 86
by law out of the Collateral and pursuant to the Security Documents, wherever
situated, or may institute such non-judicial proceedings in lieu of judicial
proceedings as are then permitted by applicable law, and may take such actions
through a mortgage trustee if necessary or advisable under applicable law.
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing,
subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Special Servicer (subject to
the rights of the Directing Holders set forth in Section 5.12(a)) may in its
discretion (or, if any outstanding Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall)
proceed to protect and enforce its rights, the rights of the Trustee and the
rights of the Holders of the Notes by such appropriate judicial proceedings as
the Special Servicer 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 5.4 Special Servicer May File Proofs of Claim.
In the case of pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, rehabilitation, arrangement, adjustment, composition
or other judicial proceeding relative to the Issuer, or the property of the
Issuer or its creditors, the Special Servicer (irrespective of whether the
principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by
declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Special Servicer shall
have made any demand on the Issuer for the payment of overdue principal or
interest) shall be entitled and empowered, to the extent not prohibited by
applicable law, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise to,
(i) file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal of
and any interest on the Notes owing and unpaid and all other sums owing
and unpaid under the Notes, the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgage, this
Indenture, or any other Security Document, if any, and to file such other
papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Special Servicer, the Servicer and the Trustee (including
any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Special Servicer, Servicer or the Trustee and their
respective agents and counsel), except as a result of its or their
negligence or bad faith, and of the Holders allowed in such judicial
proceeding, and
(ii) collect and receive any monies, notes or other property payable
or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same in accordance
with this Indenture;
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 Special Servicer (or the Trustee at the
direction of the Special Servicer) and, in the event that the Special Servicer,
or the Trustee, as applicable, shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Holders, to pay to the Special Servicer, on behalf of the
Trustee, any amount due it (or the Trustee) for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, Advances (with interest thereon at the Advance Interest Rate) and
disbursements of the Servicer, the Special Servicer (or the Trustee), its agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder.

<PAGE> 87
Nothing contained in this Article V shall be interpreted as limiting the
right or responsibility of the Servicer and Special Servicer to take any actions
on behalf of the Trustee in furtherance or fulfillment of the Servicer's or
Special Servicer's responsibility to service the Loan and the Mortgage Loan as
set out in Article VII. In addition, nothing herein contained shall be deemed to
limit each Holder's right to file and prove its claim with respect to Notes held
by it and to collect and receive any award in any such proceeding, or to
authorize the Servicer and Special Servicer to authorize or consent to or accept
or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, rehabilitation,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any
Holder thereof or to authorize the Servicer and Special Servicer to vote in
respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
SECTION 5.5 Servicer 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 Servicer or Special Servicer on behalf of the
Trustee (or the Trustee at the direction of the Servicer or Special Servicer if
the nature of such action so requires), without the possession of any of the
Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such
proceeding instituted by the Servicer or Special Servicer on behalf of the
Trustee (or the Trustee at the direction of the Servicer or Special Servicer if
the nature of such action so requires) shall be brought in the Trustee's 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 Servicer or Special Servicer (and the Trustee, if applicable),
its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes,
if any, in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.
SECTION 5.6 Application of Money Collected.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
money collected by the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee hereunder
(including, without limitation, all money remitted by the Servicer or the
Special Servicer to the Trustee for deposit into the Payment Account pursuant to
Section 7.6 hereof but excluding all proceeds from any Total Defeasance
Collateral or Partial Defeasance Collateral) shall be applied in the following
order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee (it being the intent that
payments of accrued interest and Principal Installment Amounts shall occur not
later than each Payment Date, if funds are available therefor) and, in case of
the distribution of such money on account of the principal of or interest on,
the Notes, upon presentation of the Notes (to the extent not held in global
form), and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon
surrender thereof if fully paid:
(i) to the extent not paid from the Fee Reserve Account, to the
payment of all amounts due the Trustee under this Indenture, the
Certificate Trustee under the Declaration of Trust, the Servicer under

respect to payments of principal;

described above in paragraph (iii) with respect to payments of interest;
and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, principal and interest will be payable with
respect to any Note or portion of a Note that has been defeased pursuant to the
terms of this Indenture, only from the proceeds of the U.S. Government
Securities deposited with the trustee in connection with such defeasance and
only in the amounts that were originally scheduled to be paid on each Payment
Date to and including the Scheduled Maturity Date. In addition, Trustee Fees,
Servicer Fees and Rating Surveillance Charges shall be paid from the proceeds of
such US Government Securities to the extent contemplated at the time such U.S.
Government Securities were deposited with the Trustee.
For purposes of Section 10.4 and clauses (iii) through (vi) of this
Section 5.6, amounts withheld on account of taxes from money collected by the
Trustee, the Servicer or the Special Servicer as a result of the identity, the
jurisdiction of organization, residence or citizenship or any other
characteristic of a Holder or beneficial owner of any Note shall be treated as
having been distributed by the Trustee to such Holder or to the Holder through
which such beneficial owner holds such Note, or to any successor to any such
Holder.
Payment of the Outstanding Notes of any Class shall be on a pro rata basis
and shall be based, with respect to interest, on the relative proportions of the
accrued interest on any Note of such Class to the aggregate amount of accrued
interest on all Outstanding Notes of such Class and, with respect to principal,
on the relative proportions of the unpaid principal amount of any Outstanding
Notes of such Class to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Outstanding
Notes of such Class and, with respect to Make-Whole Amounts or Default Premium,
on the relative proportions of the amount of Make-Whole Amounts or Default
Premium due and payable on any Note of such Class to the aggregate amount of
Make-Whole Amounts or Default Premium due and payable on all Outstanding Notes
of such Class.
81

SECTION 5.7 Limitation on Suits.
No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any proceeding,
judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, any Note or any other
Security Document, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any
other remedy hereunder or thereunder, unless:
(1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee, the
Servicer or Special Servicer of a continuing Event of Default;
(2) the Directing Holders or the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes have made written request to
the Special Servicer to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of
Default in the name of the Trustee as Trustee; provided, however, that the
Special Servicer shall not be required to institute such proceedings at the
direction of such Holders that would cause it to violate the Servicing
Standards;
(3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Servicer and Special
Servicer reasonable indemnity or security against any potential losses, expenses
and liabilities to be incurred in connection with such request;
(4) the Special Servicer for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such
notice, request and offer of indemnity or security has failed to institute any
such proceeding;
(5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to
the Special Servicer during such sixty (60) day period by the Directing Holders
or the Holders of 66-2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Notes; and
(6) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
it being understood and intended that, except to the extent provided in Section
5.12(a), 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.
The Holders may exercise their rights under this Section 5.7 independently
without being subject to Section 1.3.
SECTION 5.8 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal 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 interest on such Note at the Scheduled Maturity
Date expressed in such Note (or in the case of redemption, to receive payment of
the principal of and interest on such Note, on the Redemption Date) and such
rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.
82
<PAGE> 91
SECTION 5.9 Restoration of Rights and Remedies.
If the Special Servicer, the Servicer (or the Trustee at the request of
the Special Servicer) or, subject to Section 5.7, any Holder has instituted any
proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture or under any
other Security Document and such proceeding has been discontinued, waived,
rescinded, or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the
Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Servicer or to such Holder, then and in every
such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Issuer, the
Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Servicer and the Holders shall be restored
severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter
all rights and remedies of the Trustee, the Holders, the Special Servicer, the
Servicer and the Issuer shall continue as though no such proceeding had been
instituted.
SECTION 5.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 3.9, no right or remedy
herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special
Servicer or to the Holders of Notes 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 5.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
No delay or omission of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or
any Holder of any Note 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 Indenture or by any of the Security Documents or by law to the Trustee,
the Servicer, the Special Servicer or to the Holders may be exercised from time
to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, by the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or by the
Holders entitled to exercise such remedies, as the case may be.
SECTION 5.12 Control by Holders.
(a) Subject to matters described herein which require the consent of 100%
of the Holders of the Notes, prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date, during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Holders of Notes evidencing the majority of
the principal amount of the Notes of the most subordinate Class of Notes then
Outstanding or, if the principal amount of such Class is less than 25% of the
original aggregate principal amount of such Class, the next most subordinate
Class of Notes (the "Directing Holders"), will have the right to direct the
time, place and method of conducting any proceeding available to the Special
Servicer; provided, however, that any such direction shall not conflict with
applicable law or the Security Documents or cause the Special Servicer to
violate the
83
<PAGE> 92
Servicing Standards. Following an Event of Default which has occurred and is
continuing prior to the Maturity Date, the Special Servicer shall prepare a plan
of action with respect to such Event of Default and shall give notice thereof to
the Trustee, which will forward copies through to each Holder of such Class of
Notes and of any material change therein (other than a material change at the
written direction of the Directing Holders as contemplated below). Unless within
10 days after such notice is given the Directing Holders have objected thereto
in writing, the Special Servicer shall follow its original or modified, as the
case may be, planned course of action. If the Directing Holders have objected in
writing within such 10-day period, such holders shall have an additional 10 days
to provide the Special Servicer with an alternative plan of action. In the event
that within such second 10-day period the Directing Holders have provided the
Special Servicer with such alternative plan of action, the Special Servicer
shall follow such alternative plan of action, unless the Special Servicer has
determined that such alternative plan of action conflicts with applicable law or
the Security Documents or is contrary to the Servicing Standards, in which case
the Special Servicer will follow its original planned course of action. If no
such alternative plan is provided in such second 10-day period, the Special
Servicer shall proceed with its original plan of action. In addition,
notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer may take action prior to the
lapse of either such 10-day period if it determines, in accordance with the
Servicing Standards, that such action is required by the Servicing Standards in
order to avoid a material adverse effect on the Holders or is in the nature of
an emergency, and shall have no liability to the Issuer, any Property Owner, any
party or any Holder for taking any such action that meets the foregoing
standards. In addition, the Special Servicer will have no liability and shall be
held harmless by the Directing Holders for any action taken pursuant to a
planned course of action directed by the Directing Holders which is in
contradiction to the Special Servicer's original plan of action, provided such
action is in accordance with the Servicing Standards. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture to the contrary, any rights of less than 100% of the
Holders hereunder to consent to or direct any action or inaction (except for the
consent of Holders required pursuant to Section 9.2(b)) shall be subject to the
rights of the Directing Holders and the Special Servicer pursuant to this
Section 5.12(a).
(b) Subject to the rights of the Directing Holders set forth in Section
5.12(a) and any matters under the Indenture requiring the consent of Holders of
100% of the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes, the Holders of not
less than 66-2/3% in aggregate 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 Special Servicer; provided that any such
direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture
or any Security Document or cause the Special Servicer to violate the Servicing
Standards and that the Trustee or the Special Servicer may take any other action
deemed proper by the Trustee or the Special Servicer, as applicable, which is
not inconsistent with such direction or expressly prohibited hereunder so long
as such action is consistent with the Servicing Standards.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if in connection with
any Event of Default the Special Servicer has recommended the commencement of
foreclosure or any proceedings or actions which relate to the realization
against any of the Mortgaged Properties, or the Special Servicer has recommended
the sale or liquidation of any Foreclosed Property, and, in either case, the
requisite Holders have disapproved or have not approved such action pursuant to
this Indenture, the
84
<PAGE> 93
Special Servicer shall nevertheless be required to commence such foreclosure
proceedings or actions and sell or liquidate such Foreclosed Property, as the
case may be, in accordance with the Servicing Standards, upon but only upon a
determination by the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee that any
previously made and unreimbursed Advances with interest thereon constitute
Nonrecoverable Advances.
(d) The Directing Holders will have the right to terminate the Special
Servicer upon obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation.
SECTION 5.13 Waiver of Past Defaults.
Subject to the Servicer's and Special Servicer's obligation to act in
accordance with the Servicing Standards and subject to Section 5.12(c), the
Holders of not less than 66-2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past
Event of Default hereunder and its consequences, except an Event of Default:
(1) in the payment of principal of or interest on any Note or any Mortgage
Note, which shall require the waiver by the Holders of 100% in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Notes directly affected thereby;
(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof or under the Mortgage
which under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the
Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby;
(3) a default depriving the Trustee of a lien on any part of the
Collateral;
(4) a default depriving the Trustee, the Servicer or the Special Servicer
of any fees, reimbursement or indemnification to which it is entitled, for which
a waiver will require the consent of the Trustee, the Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of
the Trustee, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable; or
(5) that is an Event of Default occurring on the Scheduled Maturity Date.
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 5.14 Undertaking for Costs.
All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by its
acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its
discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under
this Indenture or any other Security Document, or in any suit against the
Trustee or the Servicer or Special Servicer for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by the Trustee or the Servicer or Special Servicer, the filing by any
party litigant in such suit of an
85
<PAGE> 94
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its
discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the
merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but
the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Issuer, or to any suit instituted by the Trustee, or to any suit instituted by
the Servicer or Special Servicer, or to any suit instituted by any Holder, or
group of Holders, holding in the aggregate at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of Outstanding Notes, or to any suit instituted by any Holder of any Note
for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note
on or after the Maturity Date (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the
Redemption Date).
ARTICLE VI
THE TRUSTEE
SECTION 6.1 Certain Duties and Responsibilities.
(a) The duties, responsibilities and liabilities of the Trustee in respect
of the Security Documents and the other duties and liabilities of the Trustee
under this Indenture shall be as follows:
(1) The Trustee (and the Servicer or Special Servicer on its behalf)
shall have the full power and authority to do all things not inconsistent
with the provisions of this Indenture or any other Security Document that
it may deem advisable in order to enforce the provisions hereof or thereof
or to take any action with respect to a default or an Event of Default
hereunder or thereunder, or to institute, appear in or defend any suit or
other proceeding with respect hereto or thereto, or to protect the
interests of the Holders; provided, however, that notwithstanding the
foregoing or any other provisions of this Indenture to the contrary, the
Loan and the Mortgage Loan shall be serviced by the Servicer or the
Special Servicer and the powers vested in the Servicer and Special
Servicer hereunder shall not be exercised by the Trustee except as
expressly set forth herein. Neither the Trustee nor any of its directors,
officers, shareholders, agents or employees (each, a "Trustee Indemnified
Party" and, collectively, the "Trustee Indemnified Parties") shall be
answerable to or accountable for, except for its or their own bad faith,
willful misconduct or negligence, and the Issuer agrees to indemnify and
save harmless the Trustee Indemnified Parties from, any costs, expenses,
liabilities and damages that any of them may incur or sustain, in good
faith and without willful misconduct or negligence, in the exercise and
performance of the Trustee's powers and duties hereunder, including the
cost and expense of defending themselves against any claim or liability in
connection with the exercise or performance thereof; provided, however,
that if it is found that any such claim or liability has resulted from the
bad faith, willful misconduct or negligence of any Trustee Indemnified
Party in the performance of its duties hereunder, such Trustee Indemnified
Party shall repay such portion of the reimbursed amounts that is
attributable to expenses incurred in relation to that portion of its acts
or omissions that is the subject of such finding. If any Trustee
Indemnified Party is entitled to receive indemnification hereunder with
respect to any such action or proceeding brought by a third party, the
Issuer shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such action or
proceeding with counsel
86
<PAGE> 95
reasonably satisfactory to such Trustee Indemnified Party who shall not,
except with the consent of such Trustee Indemnified Party, be counsel to
the Issuer or any Affiliate thereof. Upon assumption by the Issuer of the
defense of any such action or proceeding, such Trustee Indemnified Party
shall have the right to participate in such action or proceeding and to
retain its own separate counsel, but the Issuer shall not be liable for
any legal fees or expenses of such a separate counsel subsequently
incurred by such Trustee Indemnified Party in connection with the defense
thereof unless (i) the Issuer has agreed to pay such fees and expenses or
(ii) counsel provided by the Issuer pursuant to the foregoing is counsel
to the Issuer and such Trustee Indemnified Party shall have been advised
by such counsel that representation of such Trustee Indemnified Party by
such counsel provided by the Issuer pursuant to the foregoing would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicting interests between the
Issuer and such Trustee Indemnified Party, including situations in which
there are one or more legal defenses available to such Trustee Indemnified
Party that are different from or additional to those available to the
Issuer; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not, in connection with
any such action or proceeding, or separate but substantially similar
action or proceeding arising out of the same general allegations, be
liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of
attorneys at any time, in addition to any local counsel, for any such
Trustee Indemnified Party. The Issuer shall not consent to the terms of
any compromise or settlement of any action defended by the Issuer in
accordance with the foregoing without the prior consent of the Trustee
Indemnified Party. The Issuer shall not be required to indemnify any
Trustee Indemnified Party for any amount paid or payable by such Trustee
Indemnified Party in settlement of any action, proceeding or investigation
without the prior written consent of the Issuer, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld. Promptly after receipt by any Trustee
Indemnified Party of notice of its involvement (or the involvement of any
of its affiliates or such affiliate's directors, officers, shareholders,
agents or employees) in any action, proceeding or investigation, such
Trustee Indemnified Party shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect
thereof is to be made against the Issuer hereunder, notify the Issuer in
writing of such involvement, but the failure of such Trustee Indemnified
Party to provide such notice shall neither cause the forfeiture of the
right to receive indemnity hereunder nor limit such right, except to the
extent, if any, that the Issuer is prejudiced by the failure of the
Trustee Indemnified Party to promptly give such notice. The Issuer's
indemnification obligations under this Section 6.1(a)(1) shall survive
payment of the Notes and any resignation, removal or replacement of the
Trustee. The indemnification provided herein is limited in each case to
actual damages and does not extend to consequential damages.
The Trustee shall be authorized to make, at the expense of the
Issuer, all required refilings of any Security Document to preserve the
liens created thereby to the extent not so done by the Issuer or the
Servicer or Special Servicer as provided herein or therein, but shall have
no obligation to take any action to protect, preserve or enforce any
rights or interests in the Security Documents or towards the execution or
enforcement of the trusts hereby or thereby created which, in its opinion,
shall be likely to involve expense or liability to the Trustee, unless the
Trustee shall have received an agreement satisfactory to the Trustee in
its sole discretion to indemnify it against such liability and expense.
The Trustee shall not be
87
<PAGE> 96
required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of
any of the covenants or agreements contained herein, or in any other
Security Document or in any other instruments to be performed or observed
by the Issuer or any other party to any Security Document (including,
without limitation, the necessity or desirability under any applicable
state law to re-record, re-register or re-file any Security Document). In
accepting the trusts hereunder and under the Security Documents, the
Trustee is acting solely as Trustee hereunder and not in its individual
capacity and all Persons, other than the Issuer and the Holders, having
any claim against the Trustee arising by reason hereof shall look only to
the Collateral for payment or satisfaction thereof except as provided
herein.
(2) The Trustee shall incur no liability in acting upon any
signature, notice, request, consent, certificate, opinion, or other
instrument reasonably believed by it to be genuine. In administering the
trusts, the Trustee may exercise any of the powers hereof directly or
through its agents or attorneys and may, at the expense of the Issuer,
consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled Persons to be selected
and employed by it, and the reasonable expenses thereof shall be paid by
the Issuer, and the Trustee shall not be liable for anything done,
suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of
any such Person nor for any error of judgment made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
(3) The Trustee shall have no duty to make, arrange or ensure the
completion of any recording, filing or registration of any Security
Document, any instrument of further assurance, any instrument constituting
part of any of the Mortgaged Properties, or any amendments or supplements
to any of said instruments and the Trustee shall have no duty to make,
arrange or ensure the completion of the payment of any fees, charges or
taxes in connection therewith (and the Trustee may act with respect to the
Security Documents and pay out deposited monies without regard thereto),
or to give any notice thereof, or to make, arrange or ensure the
completion of the payment of or be under any duty in respect of any tax,
assessment or other governmental charge that may be levied or assessed on
any of the Mortgaged Properties or any part thereof or against the Issuer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee agrees that it will notify the
Issuer in writing of any filings, fees, taxes or other payments required
in connection with the satisfaction of the Issuer's obligations hereunder
and under the other Security Documents known to any Responsible Officer of
the Trustee assigned to its Corporate Trust Office and actively involved
in the administration of the Loan.
(4) Whenever, in administering the trust, the Trustee shall deem it
necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to
taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee may, in
the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, request and rely upon
(unless other evidence in respect thereof be specifically prescribed
herein or in any Security Document) an Officer's Certificate of the
Issuer, and such Officer's Certificate shall be full warrant to the
Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it on the faith
thereof, but in its discretion the Trustee may in lieu thereof accept
other evidence
88
<PAGE> 97
of such fact or matter or may require such further or additional evidence
as it may deem reasonable.
(5) Whenever, in administering the trust, the Trustee shall be
permitted whether pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or any other
Security Document, to determine to grant or withhold its consent to or
waiver or approval of any matter described herein or therein or to take or
omit to take any action or course of conduct permitted or required
hereunder or thereunder, the Trustee shall be fully protected in making
such determination based solely upon the written direction of the Servicer
or Special Servicer or, absent such direction, (a) on the basis of the
related submission required by this Indenture or by such other Security
Document, as the case may be, or (b) if a standard for such determination
is specified herein or therein, on the basis of its determination in good
faith as to whether or not such standard has been satisfied, or (c) if no
such standard is specified, on the basis of its determination in good
faith as to (x) with respect to any act, omission or course of conduct,
whether such act, omission or course of conduct is reasonable (which
determination may be made solely on the basis of advice from professionals
selected by the Trustee with reasonable care) and (y) with respect to the
selection of any professional, whether the party proposing the engagement
of such professional is motivated primarily by interests contrary to those
of the Holders in making such proposal, provided, in each case, that the
Trustee grants or withholds its consent or approval or takes any other
action on a timely basis. The Trustee shall not be required to seek the
individual consents or approvals of the Holders with respect to any such
consent or approval unless the same shall be explicitly required by the
terms of this Indenture or such other Security Document, as the case may
be. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event the
approval of the Trustee is requested by the Servicer or Special Servicer
with respect to a settlement of an insurance claim pursuant to the
Mortgage, the Trustee shall be fully protected in granting such approval
based on directions from the Servicer or Special Servicer and the Servicer
or Special Servicer shall be protected in providing such direction if the
Servicer or Special Servicer has selected and retained, in accordance with
the Servicing Standards, a qualified independent insurance adjuster who
has advised the Servicer or Special Servicer that the proposed settlement
is reasonable, and the Trustee determines in good faith, solely on the
basis of such advice, that such settlement is reasonable. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any of the other Security Documents,
neither the Trustee (at the request of the Servicer or Special Servicer)
nor the Servicer or Special Servicer on its behalf shall consent to any
transfer of any of the Mortgaged Properties or any beneficial interest
therein, any modification or waiver of the other Security Documents or the
terms of this Indenture (other than modifications or waivers that may be
made unilaterally (within the meaning of Prop. Treas. Reg. ss. 1.1001-3,
or any successor provision) as provided herein or in the other Security
Documents), any release of any property pledged pursuant to this Indenture
or the other Security Documents, or any release of the Issuer from its
obligations hereunder or under the other Security Documents (other than
any actions expressly contemplated by this Indenture or the other Security
Documents in connection with payments on the Notes (including any
redemptions) or otherwise), unless the Issuer has obtained and delivered
to the Trustee, the Servicer and the Special Servicer an Opinion of
Counsel from counsel experienced in federal income tax
89
<PAGE> 98
matters that such consent or modification, or waiver, as the case may be,
will not be treated as an exchange of any Note for a newly issued
obligation pursuant to Section 1001 of the Code and provided, further,
that in the case of a transfer of any portion of any of the Mortgaged
Properties without release of such transferred portion a further opinion
shall be furnished to the Trustee to the effect that (i) such transfer
shall not adversely affect the status of the Notes as debt for federal
income tax purposes or (ii) result in the creation of a "taxable mortgage
pool" within the meaning of Section 7701 of the Code.
(6) The Trustee shall have no obligation to see to the payment or
discharge of any liens (other than the liens of the Security Documents,
and then only to the extent therein provided), or to see to the
application of any payment of the principal of or interest on any Note or
Mortgage Note secured thereby or to the delivery or transfer to any Person
of any property released from any such lien, or to give notice to or make
demand upon any mortgagor, mortgagee, trustor, beneficiary or other Person
for the delivery or transfer of any such property.
(7) The Trustee shall not be concerned with or accountable to any
Person for the use or application of any deposited monies that shall be
released or withdrawn in accordance with the provisions hereof or of any
other Security Document or of any property or securities or the proceeds
thereof that shall be released from the lien hereof or thereof in
accordance with the provisions hereof or thereof and the Trustee shall
have no liability for the acts of other parties hereto that are not in
accordance with the provisions hereof.
(8) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event of
Default hereunder or under any other Security Document (except default in
the payment of monies to the Trustee that the Issuer is required to pay or

Mortgage or under any other instrument included in the Collateral, including the
costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in
connection with the exercise or performance of any of the Trustee's powers or
duties hereunder. The indemnification obligation of the Issuer under this

or replacement of the Trustee; and
(d) the expenses and the compensation for the services rendered by the
Trustee or the Servicer after an Event of Default as specified in Section 5.1(4)

tied to a single interest rate index plus a fixed spread (if any) and must move
proportionately with that index, and (C) such investments must not be subject to
liquidation prior to their maturity;
(viii) units of taxable money market funds or mutual funds, which funds

rating by two NRSROs (which may include one or more of the Rating Agencies)) for
money market funds or mutual funds; and
(ix) any other security, obligation or investment which has been approved
as a Permitted Investment in writing by (a) Trustee and (b) each Rating Agency,
as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation;
provided, however, that (1) no obligation or security shall be a Permitted
Investment if (A) such obligation or security evidences a right to receive only
interest payments or (B) the right to receive principal and interest payments on
such obligation or security is derived from an underlying investment that
provides a yield to maturity in excess of 120% of the yield to maturity at par
of such underlying investment, and (2) no investment described herein may be
purchased at a price greater than par if such investment may be prepaid or
called at a price less than its purchase price prior to maturity.
SECTION 6.15 Unclaimed Funds.
At the expiration of two (2) years following the date of Maturity of the
Notes issued hereunder, any monies deposited in the Holdover Account for such
Notes then remaining on deposit and unclaimed by the lawful owner thereof shall

the Trustee by the Issuer) and the Person entitled to receive such monies
thereafter shall look only to the Issuer for payment thereof as an unsecured
general creditor (without regard to any limitation on recourse contained herein
or in the Notes or any other Security Document), and all liability of the
Trustee with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease;

date of first publication of said notice, any unclaimed balance of said monies
then remaining in the hands of the Trustee will be paid to the Issuer upon its
written directions. Any successor to the Issuer through merger, consolidation or
otherwise or any recipient of substantially all the assets of the Issuer in a
liquidation of the Issuer shall remain liable for the amount of any unclaimed
balance paid to the Issuer pursuant to this paragraph.
SECTION 6.16 Illegal Acts.
No provision of this Indenture or any amendment or supplement hereto shall
be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on the Trustee to do any act in the

that the Issuer cause the Property Owners to bond or otherwise satisfy
such lien unless the Servicer shall have already delivered such notice and
demand to the Issuer; and
(iv) send to the Issuer, within seven (7) Business Days after a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee acquires actual knowledge of (A) any
failure of the Issuer or any Property Owner to perform or comply with any

Document, or (B) any breach, in any material respect, of a representation
or warranty made by the Issuer or any Property Owner in this Indenture or
the Mortgage, respectively, written notice of such default, failure or
breach and demand for cure in accordance with the Indenture.
(c) The Trustee may attach a notice to any document to be delivered by it
under clause (a) above disclaiming any responsibility for the contents thereof.
SECTION 6.18 Separate Trustees and Co-trustees.
(a) If at any time the Trustee reasonably shall deem it necessary for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements applicable to it in the performance of
its duties hereunder (including any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in
which any of the Collateral is located), the Trustee shall have the power to,
and shall, execute and deliver any and all instruments necessary to appoint one
or more Persons to act as separate trustees or co-trustees hereunder, jointly
with the Trustee, of any of the Collateral, including any of the Mortgaged
Properties, to the extent applicable, subject to this Indenture, and any such
Persons shall be such separate trustee or co-trustee, with such powers and
duties consistent with this Indenture and the other Security Documents as shall
be specified in the instrument appointing such Person but without thereby
releasing the Trustee from any of its duties hereunder. If the Trustee shall
request the Issuer so to do, the Issuer shall join with the Trustee in
103
<PAGE> 112
the execution of such instrument, but the Trustee shall have the power to make
such appointment without making such request. All fees and expenses of any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall be paid by the Issuer.
(b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent not
prohibited by law, be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(1) the rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed
upon such separate or co-trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate or co-trustee
jointly, as shall be provided in the appointing instrument, except to the
extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act
is to be performed any nonresident trustee shall be incompetent or
unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers,
duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such separate
trustee or co-trustee; provided, however, that in the event of a conflict
between the instructions or directions of the Trustee and any separate or
co-trustee, the directions of the Trustee shall govern;
(2) all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the
Trustee, in respect of the custody of all cash and other securities to be
deposited with or otherwise held by the Trustee hereunder shall be
exercised solely by the Trustee;
(3) the Trustee may at any time by written instrument accept the
resignation of or remove any such separate trustee or co-trustee, and,
upon the request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall join with the Trustee in
the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements
necessary or proper to make effective such resignation or removal, but the
Trustee shall have the power to accept such resignation or to make such
removal without making such request. A successor to a separate trustee or
co-trustee so resigning or removed may be appointed in the manner
otherwise provided herein; and
(4) the co-trustee shall resign immediately upon the resignation or
removal of the Trustee and the acceptance of appointment of a successor
Trustee hereunder.
(c) Such separate trustee or co-trustee, upon acceptance of such trust,
shall be vested with the estates or property specified in such instrument,
jointly with the Trustee and the Trustee shall take such action as may be
necessary to provide for the appropriate interest in the Collateral, including
the Mortgaged Properties, to be vested in such separate trustee or co-trustee,
the execution and delivery of any amendments to the Security Documents necessary
in connection therewith, and the recording of such documents and instruments as
may be necessary to give effect to the foregoing. Any separate trustee or
co-trustee may, at any time, by written instrument constitute the Trustee, his
agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent permitted
by law, to do all acts and things and exercise all discretion authorized or
permitted by him, for and on behalf of him and in his name. If any separate
trustee or co-trustee shall be dissolved, become incapable of acting, resign, be
removed or die, all the estates, property, rights, powers, trusts, duties and
obligations of said separate trustee or co-trustee, so far as permitted by law,
shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, without
104
<PAGE> 113
the appointment of a successor to said separate trustee or co-trustee, until the
appointment of a successor to said separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary
as provided in this Indenture. The appointment of a co-trustee shall in no way
release the Trustee from any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder.
(d) Any notice, request or other writing, by or on behalf of any Holder,
delivered to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to all separate
trustees and co-trustees.
SECTION 6.19 [Intentionally Omitted].
SECTION 6.20 Withholding and Information Reporting.

applicable United States federal income tax withholding and any IRS Form 1099

ARTICLE VII
THE SERVICER AND SPECIAL SERVICER
SECTION 7.1 Servicer to Act as Servicer; Special Servicer to Act as
Special Servicer.
Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer, is an independent contract
servicer and shall service and administer the Loan and the Mortgage Loan solely
on behalf of, and in the best interests of (as determined by the Servicer or
Special Servicer in its reasonable judgment) and for the benefit of the Holders
in accordance with applicable law the terms of this Indenture and the other
Security Documents and the following Standards (the "Servicing Standards"):
(i) (a) in the same manner in which and with the same care, skill,
prudence and diligence with which the Servicer or Special Servicer
services and administers similar mortgage loans for other third-party
portfolios, giving due consideration to customary and usual standards of
practice of prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders servicing
their own mortgage loans and to the maximization of the net present value
of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan or (b) with the care, skill, prudence
and diligence the Servicer or Special Servicer uses for mortgage loans
which it owns and which are substantially the same as the Loan and the
Mortgage Loan, giving due consideration to the maximization of the net
present value of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan, whichever is higher; (ii)
with a view to the timely collection of all scheduled payments of
principal and interest under the Loan and the Mortgage Loan or, if an
Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and if, in the good faith
and reasonable judgment of the Servicer or Special Servicer, no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for the collection of the delinquent
payments, the maximization of the recovery on the Loan and the Mortgage
Loan to the Holders of the Notes (as a collective whole) on a net present
value basis; and (iii) without regard to (A) any relationship that the
Servicer or Special Servicer or any affiliate thereof may have with the
Issuer or any Property Owner; (B) the ownership of any Security by the
Servicer or Special Servicer or
105
<PAGE> 114
their affiliates; (C) the Servicer's or Special Servicer's, as applicable,
obligation to make Advances; (D) the right of the Servicer or Special
Servicer to receive reimbursement of costs, or the sufficiency of any
compensation payable to it under the Indenture or with respect to any
particular transaction; or (E) the Servicer's or Special Servicer's
ownership, servicing or management for others of any other mortgage loans
or mortgaged property.
Subject to the above-described Servicing Standards and the terms of this
Indenture and of the other Security Documents, the Servicer and Special Servicer
shall have full power and authority to do or cause to be done any and all things
in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary
or desirable. The Servicer and Special Servicer shall service and administer the
Loan and the Mortgage Loan in accordance with applicable state and federal law.
At the written request of the Servicer or Special Servicer, accompanied by the
form of powers or other documents being requested and a certificate that such
power of attorney or document is necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer
or Special Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties
hereunder, the Trustee shall furnish to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable, any powers of attorney and other documents and the Trustee shall not
be held responsible for any acts by the Servicer or Special Servicer in its uses
of any such powers of attorney or other documents. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, neither the Servicer, the Special Servicer nor
the Issuer shall, without the Trustee's written consent, (i) initiate any
action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee's name without indicating
Servicer's or Special Servicer's, as applicable, representative capacity or (ii)
take any action with the intent to cause, and which actually does cause, the
Trustee to be registered to do business in any state. Where the terms of the
Mortgage or any other Security Document provide that the consent or approval of
the Mortgagee is required, then (unless otherwise provided therein) such consent
or approval shall be granted or withheld by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable on behalf of the Mortgagee in accordance with the Servicing
Standards.
SECTION 7.2 Sub-Servicing Agreements.
Each of the Servicer or Special Servicer, at its own expense without a
right of reimbursement from the Issuer under this Indenture, may enter into
sub-servicing agreements with sub-servicers for the servicing and administration
of the Mortgaged Properties, provided that, (i) the Issuer shall have consented
in writing to the appointment of such sub-servicer (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), unless (x) such sub-servicer is a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or (y) the
Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has determined, in good faith, that
the appointment of such sub-servicer is necessary for the purpose of meeting any
legal requirements applicable to it in the performance of its duties hereunder
(including any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any of the
Collateral is located), (ii) any such sub-servicing agreement (x) will be upon
such terms and conditions as are not inconsistent with this Indenture and as the
Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable and the sub-servicer have agreed,
and (y) shall provide that in the event the Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable has been removed as the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable
hereunder, the Trustee or any successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable appointed pursuant hereto shall have the right to terminate such
sub-servicing agreement without cost or penalty on not more than five days'
written notice to the sub-servicer, and (iii) no sub-servicer retained by the
Servicer or Special Servicer shall grant any modification, waiver,
106
<PAGE> 115
or amendment to the Security Documents without the written approval of the
Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. References in this Indenture to
actions taken or to be taken, and limitations on actions permitted to be taken,
by the Servicer or Special Servicer in servicing the Loan and the Mortgage Loan
include actions taken or to be taken by a sub-servicer on behalf of the Servicer
or Special Servicer, as applicable. Each sub-servicer shall be (i) authorized to
transact business in the applicable state(s), if, and to the extent, required by
applicable law to enable the sub-servicer to perform its obligations hereunder
and under the applicable sub-servicing agreement, and (ii) qualified to service
mortgage loans comparable to the Loan and the Mortgage Loan. For purposes of
this Indenture, the Servicer or Special Servicer shall be deemed to have
received any amount when the sub-servicer receives such amount and actions taken
by the sub-servicer shall be deemed to be actions of the Servicer or Special
Servicer, as applicable. The Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable shall
notify the Trustee and the Issuer in writing promptly upon the appointment of
any sub-servicer and promptly furnish the Trustee and the Issuer with a copy of
the sub-servicing agreement. Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer is
permitted to utilize agents and attorneys as is consistent with the Servicing
Standards in performing certain of its obligations under this Indenture and the
other Security Documents, each of which will be an expense of the Issuer,
payable from the Deposit Account or paid and reimbursed as a Property Protection
Advance. Obligations of the Servicer or Special Servicer which are an expense of
the Issuer pursuant to the preceding sentence include, but are not limited to,
enforcement of the Mortgage and administration of releases, assumptions,
modifications, substitutions, defeasance of the Notes, bankruptcy claims and
similar matters.
Notwithstanding any sub-servicing agreement the use of other agents and
attorneys, any of the provisions of this Indenture relating to agreements or
arrangements between the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable and a
sub-servicer or reference to actions taken through a sub-servicer other agents
or attorneys or otherwise, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable shall
remain obligated and liable to the Trustee and the Holders for the servicing and
administering of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the
provisions of Section 7.1 without diminution of such obligation or liability by
virtue of such sub-servicing agreement or arrangements or by virtue of
indemnification from a sub-servicer and to the same extent and under the same
terms and conditions as if the Servicer or Special Servicer alone were servicing
and administering the Loan and the Mortgage Loan.
SECTION 7.3 Certain Duties and Responsibilities.
Until the principal and interest on each Note is paid in full, the
Servicer (or Special Servicer during the occurrence and continuance of a Loan
Event) shall proceed diligently to collect all payments called for under the
terms and provisions of the Security Documents, including payments from the
Property Owner's Insurance Proceeds and Taking Proceeds, and in doing so the
Servicer (or Special Servicer during the occurrence and continuance of a Loan
Event) shall follow such collection procedures as are in accordance with the
Servicing Standards. The foregoing responsibilities shall include, without
limitation, making, at the expense of the Issuer, timely filings of any Uniform
Commercial Code continuation statements and any refilings of any Security
Document as necessary to preserve the liens created thereby to the extent not so
done by the Issuer or the Property Owners as provided herein or in the other
Security Documents. The Servicer and
107
<PAGE> 116
Special Servicer each agree that it will notify the Issuer and the Trustee (with
a copy to the Servicer in the case of the Special Servicer) in writing of any
filings, fees, taxes or other similar payments required in connection with the
satisfaction of the obligations of the Issuer or the Property Owners under this
Indenture and the other Security Documents known to any officer or employee of
the Servicer or Special Servicer actively involved in the administration of the
Loan or the Mortgage Loan. Upon an acceleration of the Notes pursuant to Section
5.2, subject to the rights of the Directing Holders set forth in Section 5.12(a)
the Special Servicer may, unless the Event of Default preceding such
acceleration is an Event of Default occurring on the Maturity Date, in which
case the Special Servicer shall, initiate foreclosure proceedings with respect
to the Indenture Collateral and immediately thereafter with respect to the
Mortgaged Properties and the other Mortgage Collateral; provided, however, that
the Special Servicer will not convert ownership of any Mortgaged Property to the
Trustee or its nominee on behalf of the Holders unless and until the Special
Servicer has complied with the terms of this Indenture.
Subject to the rights of the Directing Holders described in Section
5.12(a), if prior to the Maturity Date an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing or an Event of Default is reasonably foreseeable and the Special
Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standards that a
modification, waiver or amendment of the terms of any Security Document either
(i) is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis
than liquidation of Indenture Collateral, the Mortgaged Properties and the other
Mortgage Collateral or (ii) would not reasonably be likely to adversely affect
the timely receipt of payments under the Security Documents, then the Special
Servicer may, but is not required to, agree to a modification, waiver, or
amendment of any of the terms of the Security Documents; provided, however,
notwithstanding the foregoing, that (1) the action cannot reasonably be expected
to result in an increase in the ratio of (A) the then-outstanding aggregate
principal balance of the Notes divided by (B) the most recent appraised value of
the Mortgaged Properties (net of any prior liens); (2) the action cannot
reasonably be expected to result in a decrease in the Debt Service Coverage
Ratio; (3) the action complies with all applicable legal requirements, including
without limitation, all zoning, environmental and building laws, ordinances, and
regulations and any condition, easement, right-of-way, covenant or restriction
of record applicable to the Mortgaged Properties; (4) to the extent any
additional criteria are specified in the Security Documents for consent to a
specific action, such criteria have been satisfied in all material respects; (5)
the consent to such action is otherwise consistent with the Servicing Standards
and (6) such action does not impair the rights or increase the obligations of
the Trustee, the Servicer or the Special Servicer; provided, any such
modification will be made in compliance with the terms of this Indenture and any
other applicable Security Document.
Subject to the rights of the Directing Holders described in Section
5.12(a) and subject to the terms of this Indenture, the Servicer may (or Special
Servicer, as the case may be) enter into or grant the following modifications,
waivers or amendments of any Security Document without the consent of any Holder
of the Notes: (i) waivers of minor covenant defaults (other than financial
covenants), including late financial statements; (ii) releases of unimproved
non-material parcels of any Mortgaged Property, provided that each such release
parcel constitutes a tax lot separate from the remainder of the Mortgaged
Properties and such release will not cause the applicable Mortgaged Property to
violate any law, anchor lease or other obligation of the Issuer; (iii) grants of
easements that do not
108
<PAGE> 117
materially adversely affect the use, operation or value of any Mortgaged
Property or the obligation of the Issuer or the Property Owners to pay the Loan
and the Mortgage Loan, respectively; and (iv) any other modifications, waivers
or amendments which the Servicer (or Special Servicer, as the case maybe)
determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standards, are of a routine nature
and which are made in accordance with the Servicing Standards; provided that the
Servicer (or Special Servicer, as the case maybe) has determined that (x) any
such modification, waiver or amendment described in this sentence would not in
any way affect a payment term of any Note or Mortgage Note, and (y) agreeing to
such modification, waiver or amendment would be consistent with the Servicing
Standards.
SECTION 7.4 Payment of Impositions, Etc.
The Servicer shall maintain accurate records with respect to the Mortgaged
Properties reflecting the status of Impositions and other similar items that are
or may become a lien thereon and the status of insurance premiums payable in
respect of any of the insurance policies required to be maintained by the
Property Owners (in their capacity as Mortgagor) under Article 13 of the
Mortgage. Except to the extent the same are paid directly by the Servicer from
sums on deposit in the Tax Escrow Account pursuant to the Cash Management
Agreement, the Issuer shall supply to the Servicer evidence of the payment of
such amounts at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the applicable penalty or
termination dates. To the extent the Servicer has obtained notice of any
Impositions (that have or may become a lien on any Mortgaged Property) that have
not been paid from sums on deposit in such Reserve Account or otherwise by the
Property Owners on or before the related Due Date and the applicable Property
Owner is not contesting such items pursuant to Article 12 of the Mortgage, the
Servicer shall obtain all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal
premiums) and shall instruct the applicable Property Owner in writing to effect
payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, provided
that failure of the Servicer to provide such instruction shall in no way limit
the obligation of the applicable Property Owner to timely pay such Impositions
nor shall it be a condition for the Servicer to make an advance from its own
funds as set forth below. If evidence of such payment is required but not
promptly received by the Servicer, the Servicer shall Advance from its own funds
(without having any obligation to give any prior notice to the Issuer or the
applicable Property Owner but subject to the Servicer's determination that such
Advance will not, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance) amounts payable
with respect to all such items related to the Mortgaged Properties when the same
shall become due and payable, unless the Servicer reasonably anticipates (in
accordance with the Servicing Standards) that such items will be paid by the
Property Owner on or before the same shall become due and payable, in which case
the Servicer shall use its best efforts consistent with the Servicing Standards
to confirm whether such items have been paid and shall advance such times on the
earlier of (i) the date that is five business days following receipt by the
Servicer of confirmation that such items have not been paid by or on behalf of
the Property Owner and (ii) 30 days after the same shall become due and payable,
which advance shall constitute a Property Protection Advance. The Servicer shall
not be obligated to advance from its own funds any amounts required to cure, or
pay any other amounts due by reason of, any failure of any Mortgaged Property to
comply with any applicable Legal Requirements (as defined in the Mortgage),
including any Environmental Law (as defined in the Mortgage), or to investigate,
test, monitor, contain, clean up or remedy an
109
<PAGE> 118
environmental condition present at any Mortgaged Property, except to the extent
provided in Section 7.7.
SECTION 7.5 Maintenance of Insurance and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity
Coverage.
(a) The Servicer shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standards, use
its best efforts to cause the Property Owners to maintain for each Mortgaged
Property all insurance required by the terms of the Mortgage in the amounts,
with the terms and provisions, and from the insurers set forth therein. If the
Property Owners fail to maintain the insurance policies required by the
Mortgage, the Servicer shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standards, obtain
(subject to provisions of this Indenture concerning Nonrecoverable Advances)
such required insurance policies (which may be through the Servicer's master
force-placed insurance policy), which policies shall be issued by insurance
companies which (i) meet the ratings requirements set forth in the Mortgage or
(ii) are subject to a Rating Agency Confirmation, to the extent available and to
the extent the Trustee, as assignee of the Mortgagee, has an insurable interest
(as determined by the Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standards). The
cost (including any deductible relating to such insurance) of such required
insurance policies (or, in the case of the Servicer's master force-placed
policy, the incremental cost (including any related deductible) of such
insurance related to the specific Mortgaged Property) shall be paid by the
Servicer as a Property Protection Advance. In carrying out the foregoing, the
Servicer shall monitor the Property Owners' compliance with the requirements of
Article 13 of the Mortgage and shall advise the Property Owners and the Issuer
of any instance where the Servicer believes that the Property Owners are no
longer in compliance with Article 13 of the Mortgage. The Special Servicer shall
also cause to be maintained on each Mortgaged Property after it becomes a
Foreclosed Property all such insurance, to the extent the same is then available
at commercially reasonable rates and maintaining such insurance would be in the
interest of the Holders in accordance with the Servicing Standards. The cost of
any such insurance with respect to a Foreclosed Property will be payable out of
amounts on deposit in the REO Property Account or will be advanced absent (in
the case of an Advance) a determination of non-recoverability pursuant to
Section 7.17, by the Servicer at the request of the Special Servicer as a
Property Protection Advance. Pursuant to Section 7.6, any amounts collected by
the Servicer or Special Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to
be applied to the restoration or repair of a Mortgaged Property or property so
acquired or amounts released to the applicable Property Owner in accordance with
the terms of the Mortgage, the Cash Management Agreement or the Servicing
Standards) shall be deposited in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement
in the applicable Reserve Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
7.6. Any costs (including third party costs as described in Section 7.2)
incurred by the Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to this Section shall be
reimbursable to the Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.6.
Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to require the Servicer or Special
Servicer to make a Nonrecoverable Advance.
(b) The Servicer and Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own
expense, and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this
Indenture, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy,
with the Trustee named as certificateholder or loss payee, as applicable, from a
provider that is rated at least Aa2 by Moody's or AA by DCR (or if not so rated
in such category by the applicable Rating Agency, then an equivalent rating by
one additional
110
<PAGE> 119
NRSRO) or is subject to a Rating Agency Confirmation and covering the Servicer's
and Special Servicer's officers and employees in connection with its activities
under this Indenture. The amount of coverage shall be such as is commercially
reasonable given the Servicer's and Special Servicer's role hereunder and at
least equal to the coverage that is required by applicable governmental
authorities having regulatory power over the Servicer and Special Servicer. If
no such coverage amounts are imposed by such regulatory authorities, the amount
of coverage shall be at least equal to the coverage that would be required by
FNMA or FHLMC with respect to the Servicer or Special Servicer if the Servicer
or Special Servicer were servicing and administering the Loan and the Mortgage
Loan for FNMA or FHLMC. In the event that any such bond or policy ceases to be
in effect, the Servicer or Special Servicer shall obtain a comparable
replacement bond or policy. Coverage of the Servicer or Special Servicer under a
policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate of the Servicer or Special Servicer and
providing the coverage and continuing for the term required by this Section 7.5
shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 7.5.
No provision of this Section 7.5 requiring such fidelity bond and errors
and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer or Special
Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Indenture.
Promptly following the Closing Date, the Servicer or Special Servicer shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee a certificate of insurance from
the surety, insurer or insurance broker. The Servicer shall promptly provide
notice to the Trustee and each Rating Agency of any cancellation, termination,
expiration, reduction in amount of, or material change (other than an increase)
in, coverage under any such fidelity bond or policy of errors and omissions
insurance.
(c) The Servicer shall approve adjustments and settlements of insurance
claims relating to the Mortgaged Properties in accordance with the terms of the
Security Documents.
SECTION 7.6 Application of Funds in Reserve Accounts in Event of Default.
(a) Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the
Special Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the applicable REO
Property Account within one (1) Business Day after receipt all revenues received
from any Foreclosed Property and all other amounts received by the Special
Servicer or Servicer with respect to the Security Documents and the Mortgaged
Properties. Amounts so deposited in the REO Property Accounts shall be remitted
to the Collection Account in accordance with and to the extent required by the
Cash Management Agreement.
(b) [Intentionally Omitted.]
(c) Money held by the Servicer hereunder shall be held in trust for the
purposes for which it was paid, and shall be segregated from any other monies
held by the Servicer, and may be deposited by the Servicer or Special Servicer
under such general conditions as may be prescribed by law.
(d) Payments made with funds obtained by the Special Servicer by
liquidating any part of the Collateral shall not constitute a cure of a failure
by the Issuer to make a payment for purposes of
111
<PAGE> 120
Section 5.1 hereof unless the Event of Default relating thereto is waived in
accordance with Section 5.13.
SECTION 7.7 Realization upon Mortgaged Property.
(a) Within 60 days following the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction
Event, the Special Servicer shall use its best efforts to obtain an Updated
Appraisal of the Mortgaged Properties, the cost of which shall be a Property
Protection Advance; provided, however that the Special Servicer shall not obtain
such Updated Appraisal for any Mortgaged Property with respect to which there
exists an appraisal that is less than twelve months old. The Special Servicer
shall calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount upon the later of 30 days after
the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event, if no Updated Appraisal is
required under Section 7.7(a), or promptly upon, but in no event more than 30
days after, receipt of an Updated Appraisal. In addition, if the Servicer or
Special Servicer is required to make a material Advance not anticipated at the
time the Appraisal Reduction Amount was last determined, the Appraisal Reduction
Amount shall be determined immediately after the Servicer or Special Servicer
makes such Advance.
Annual updates of such Updated Appraisal will be obtained during the
continuance of an Appraisal Reduction Event. Each time an Updated Appraisal is
obtained, the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be recalculated by the Special
Servicer based upon such Updated Appraisal. Promptly following any calculation
or recalculation of an Appraisal Reduction Amount, the Special Servicer shall
notify the Servicer in writing of the amount of such Appraisal Reduction Amount.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default
and acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 5.2 (subject
to the rights of Directing Holders pursuant to Section 5.12(a)) (i) the Special
Servicer may or (ii) if the Issuer fails to pay the principal of and interest on
any Notes on the Maturity Date, the Special Servicer shall (A) exercise the
remedies available under Article V hereof, and under the Security Documents,
including foreclosing on all or some of the Indenture Collateral, the Mortgaged
Properties and the other Mortgage Collateral, to the extent determined
appropriate by the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standards
and (B) the Special Servicer shall deliver such notices as may be required by
any Leases to the parties entitled thereto. Except in the case of rescission of
acceleration in accordance with Article V, to the extent the Special Servicer
has determined to foreclose all or some of the Mortgaged Properties the Special
Servicer shall liquidate such Mortgaged Properties and other Collateral and
transfer the payments to the REO Property Account for disbursement pursuant to
the Cash Management Agreement. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, or an event which with the giving of notice
or the passage of time would become an Event of Default, the Special Servicer
may obtain advice from Persons with expertise in the field of distressed real
estate, bankruptcy or other relevant fields the cost of which shall constitute a
Property Protection Advance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer
shall promptly commence foreclosure following the Maturity Date unless prior to
that time the term of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan has been extended with
approval of the requisite Holders as described in Section 7.3. Within sixty (60)
days after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and
acceleration of the Loan, the Special Servicer shall prepare, or cause to be
prepared, a liquidation
112
<PAGE> 121
plan for the Collateral and shall deliver a copy of such plan to the Trustee for
distribution to each Holder. Nothing in such plan shall conflict with or alter
in any way any of the obligations of the parties to this Indenture. Such
liquidation plan shall be deemed approved by the Holders unless, within sixty
(60) days after its delivery, Holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes then Outstanding object by writings filed with the Trustee
to such liquidation plan. If Holders of more than 50% (but less than 100%) in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding have objected in
writing within such 60-day period, subject to Section 7.7(c), the Special
Servicer may take action pursuant to such liquidation plan if it has determined
such action to be consistent with the Servicing Standards. If Holders of 100% in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding have objected in
writing within such 60-day period, the Special Servicer shall not take action in
accordance with such liquidation plan subject, however, to its right to propose
a new liquidation plan to Holders for approval in accordance with the foregoing
procedure. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Special
Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary
or advisable and as shall be consistent with the Servicing Standards. At the
time the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the
Holders takes possession of a Mortgaged Property by foreclosure or otherwise,
the Special Servicer may, but shall have no obligation whatsoever to, pay the
cost of any capital improvements to the Mortgaged Property if the Special
Servicer determines that such expenditures are advisable to protect or, if
permitted by Section 33 of the Mortgage, enhance the value of such Mortgaged
Property and are in the best interests of the Holders, and any such payment by
the Special Servicer shall constitute a Property Protection Advance hereunder.
The foregoing is subject to the condition that the Special Servicer shall not be
required to expend its own funds to restore any property damaged by an Uninsured
Cause.
(c) Notwithstanding Section 7.7(b), the Special Servicer shall not, on
behalf of the Trustee, obtain title to any Mortgaged Property as a result or in
lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and shall not otherwise acquire possession of,
or take other action with respect to, such Mortgaged Property, if as a result of
any such action, the Special Servicer or the Trustee would be considered to hold
title to, be a "mortgagee-in-possession" of, or be an "owner" or "operator" of
such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of CERCLA or any applicable
comparable federal, state or local law, or a "discharger" or "responsible party"
thereunder unless the Special Servicer has also previously determined, based on
an environmental report prepared at the direction of the Special Servicer by a
Person having the qualifications set forth in Section 7.7(d) (a copy of which
report shall have been delivered to the Trustee), that such Mortgaged Property
does not contain any condition identified in Section 501.04 (or any successor
provision) of Part II of the Fannie Mae Multifamily Guide, or that, if any such
condition exists, taking such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged
Property into compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, or taking such
actions as are necessary to contain, clean-up, remove or remediate Hazardous
Substances affecting such Mortgaged Property is reasonably likely to produce a
greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such actions.
Subject to the rights of Directing Holders pursuant to Section 5.12(a), if
the Special Servicer has so determined based on satisfaction of the criteria in
this Section 7.7(c) that it would be in the best economic interest of the
Holders to take any such actions and foreclose or otherwise acquire
113
<PAGE> 122
possession of such Mortgaged Property and is otherwise consistent with the
Servicing Standards, the Special Servicer shall notify the Trustee in writing
setting forth in reasonable detail the reasons for its determination, and the
Trustee, in turn, shall send a copy of the related environmental report and
notification to the Holders notifying them of their right to object to such
proposed action. Such proposed action shall be taken unless the Trustee (i)
shall have received and delivered to the Special Servicer, within thirty (30)
days after such notification from the Special Servicer, written instructions
from the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Notes directing it not to take such action; provided, however, that
the Special Servicer shall not be required to take any action or refrain from
taking any action that would cause it to violate the Servicing Standards; or
(ii) has given the Special Servicer similar written instructions based upon the
Trustee's reasonable opinion that there would be a likelihood of the Trustee's
individual liability resulting from such action against which it would not be
indemnified hereunder.
(d) Any environmental report contemplated by Section 7.7(c) shall be
prepared by any Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental site
assessments for purchasers of comparable properties, as determined by the
Special Servicer in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standards. The cost
of preparation of any environmental site assessment shall qualify as and be
reimbursed as a Property Protection Advance.
(e) If the Special Servicer determines, pursuant to Section 7.7(c), that
taking such actions as are necessary to bring a Mortgaged Property into
compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, or taking such actions with
respect to the containment, clean-up, removal or remediation of Hazardous
Substances affecting such Mortgaged Property, is not reasonably likely to
produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such
actions, the Special Servicer shall notify the Trustee in writing setting forth
in reasonable detail the reasons for its determination and any action which it
determines to take, and the Trustee, in turn, shall send a copy of such
notification to the Holders notifying them of their right to give contrary
direction. The Special Servicer shall take such alternative action as it deems
to be in the best economic interests of the Holders, consistent with the
Servicing Standards including, without limitation, releasing the lien of the
Mortgage with respect to such Mortgaged Property, unless the Trustee has
received and delivered to the Special Servicer within thirty (30) days after
such notification from the Special Servicer, contrary directions from the
Holders of not less than 66-2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Notes; provided, however; that the Special Servicer shall not be
required to take any action or refrain from taking any action that would cause
it to violate the Servicing Standards unless so directed by Holders of not less
than 100% in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes. Neither the
Trustee nor the Special Servicer shall be obligated to take any action, or
refrain from taking any action at the direction of Holders pursuant to this
Section 7.7(e) unless the Holders offer to the Trustee or the Special Servicer,
as the case may be, security or indemnification satisfactory to the Trustee or
the Special Servicer against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be
incurred with respect to such actions or inaction.
(f) In connection with any Letter of Credit delivered to the Trustee
pursuant to the terms of the Cash Management Agreement, if such Letter of Credit
is not renewed or replaced with another Letter of Credit prior to the date that
is 20 days prior to its expiration, Trustee (or Servicer on behalf
114
<PAGE> 123
of Trustee) shall be entitled to draw upon the full amount of such Letter of
Credit. Funds drawn upon any Letter of Credit shall be deposited in the related
Reserve Account for administration in accordance with the Cash Management
Agreement.
SECTION 7.8 Trustee to Cooperate: Release of Original Security Documents.
From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of
the Loan, the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Properties and the other Mortgage
Collateral, the Trustee shall, upon written request of the Servicer or Special
Servicer and delivery to the Trustee of a trust receipt in the form of Exhibit E
hereto, release or cause to be released originals of any Security Documents
being held by it to the Servicer or Special Servicer and shall execute such
documents furnished to it as shall, according to an Officer's Certificate of the
Servicer, be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Servicer
or Special Servicer shall promptly return such items to the Trustee (or the
Custodian) when the need therefor by the Servicer or Special Servicer no longer
exists.
SECTION 7.9 Title and Management of Foreclosed Property.
(a) In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired by the
Special Servicer for the benefit of the Holders in foreclosure or by
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, the deed or certificate of sale shall
be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, on behalf of the Holders or
as otherwise contemplated pursuant to Section 6.18. The Special Servicer, on
behalf of the Holders, shall sell any Foreclosed Property as expeditiously as
possible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.10. Subject to Section
7.9(d), the Special Servicer shall retain the entity or entities that were
acting as the Property Manager with respect to the Mortgaged Properties
immediately prior to the Event of Default, or such other property managers as
the Special Servicer shall deem appropriate (the "Manager"), to provide property
management services at each of the Foreclosed Properties. In connection with
such management, the property manager selected by the Special Servicer shall be
entitled to the related Management Fees from the Collateral, and such fees shall
be payable in accordance with Section 7.9.
(b) The Special Servicer and the Manager shall segregate and hold all
funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any Foreclosed
Property separate and apart from their own funds and general assets and shall
deposit all such funds collected and received in connection with the operation
of any Foreclosed Property in the REO Property Account to be applied in
accordance with the Cash Management Agreement.
(c) The Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only
to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Indenture and Servicing
Standards, to do any and all things in connection with the Foreclosed Property
for the benefit of the Holders on such terms and for such period as the Special
Servicer deems to be in the best interests of the Holders and as consistent with
the Servicing Standards. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer shall
require the Manager to deposit or cause to be deposited within one (1) Business
Day after receipt in the REO Property Account all revenues received with respect
to all Foreclosed Properties. To the extent such funds are available therefor
pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement, the Special Servicer shall
115
<PAGE> 124
withdraw from the REO Property Account funds necessary for the proper operation,
management and maintenance of the Foreclosed Property, including, but not
limited to:
(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of the
Foreclosed Properties;
(ii) all Impositions in respect of the Foreclosed Properties that
could result or have resulted in the imposition of a lien thereon;
(iii) all amounts that are due and payable under any Ground Lease,
any Leases or operating agreements affecting the Foreclosed Properties;
and
(iv) all costs and expenses necessary to preserve the Foreclosed
Properties including, but not limited to payment of Management Fees to the
related Manager.
To the extent that funds on deposit in the Collection Account or any applicable
Reserve Account are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i)
through (iv) above, the Special Servicer shall make a Property Protection
Advance, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.17.
(d) The Special Servicer, in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the
Holders, shall contract with any Manager for the operation and management of the
Foreclosed Properties, provided that no such contract shall impose individual
liability on the Trustee, the Special Servicer or the Holders; and provided,
further, that:
(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be
inconsistent herewith (including those set forth in the definition of
Management Fee);
(ii) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to
require, that the Manager (A) pay from revenues of all Foreclosed
Properties all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
operation and management of the Foreclosed Properties, and (B) remit all
related revenues, net of such costs and expenses, to the Special Servicer
for deposit to the REO Property Account as soon as practicable but in no
event later than the Business Day immediately following receipt;
(iii) none of the provisions of this Section 7.9 relating to any
such contract or to actions taken by any such Manager shall be deemed to
relieve the Special Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the
Trustee on behalf of the Holders with respect to the asset management of
the Foreclosed Properties; and
(iv) such Manager and such contract shall be subject to Rating
Agency Confirmation.
The Special Servicer in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders
shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Manager related to
its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Special
Servicer by such Manager, and nothing in this Indenture shall be deemed to
limit or modify such indemnification. The Special Servicer agrees to
monitor
116
<PAGE> 125
the performance of the Manager and to enforce the obligations of the
Manager on behalf of the Trustee in accordance with the Servicing
Standards. Expenses incurred by the Special Servicer in connection
herewith shall be paid and reimbursed as Property Protection Advances. The
Special Servicer shall not serve as Manager, but shall be obligated with
respect to any management contact with the Manager to monitor and enforce
the Manager's obligations thereunder to the same extent as if the Special
Servicer alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection
with the operation and management of the Foreclosed Property.
SECTION 7.10 Sale of Foreclosed Property.
(a) Promptly after the acquisition of a Foreclosed Property by the Special
Servicer in the name of and on behalf of the Trustee, the Special Servicer shall
on behalf of the Trustee obtain a full narrative appraisal of such Foreclosed
Property from an appraiser (unless there exists and is available to the Special
Servicer a full narrative appraisal of such Mortgaged Property performed within
the last twelve (12) months and the Special Servicer is not aware of any
circumstance that would materially and adversely affect the value of such
Mortgaged Property as set forth in such appraisal), the cost of which shall be
paid and reimbursed as a Property Protection Advance in order to determine the
fair market value of such Foreclosed Property and shall provide copies of such
appraisal to the Trustee and the Issuer. The Special Servicer may offer to sell
to any Person one or more of the Foreclosed Properties, if and when the Special
Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standards, that such a sale
would be in the best economic interests of the Holders. The Special Servicer
shall give the Trustee not less than five (5) days' prior written notice of its
intention to sell any Foreclosed Property and shall accept the highest cash
offer received from any Person (which Person shall certify in its offer as to
whether it is an Interested Person) for the Foreclosed Property that at least
equals the sum of (i) the Allocated Amount for such Foreclosed Property, plus
(ii) all unpaid interest accrued on Notes (based on the weighted average
interest rate of the Notes) representing a principal amount equal to the
Allocated Amount (or in the event of the sale of more than one Foreclosed
Property, the aggregate amount of the Allocated Amounts of all such Foreclosed
Properties) from time to time through the date of sale, plus (iii) all amounts
owed to the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee hereunder and the
Manager with respect to such Foreclosed Property, and all reasonably estimated
Liquidation Expenses. In the absence of any such offer, the Special Servicer
shall accept the highest cash offer received from any Person that is not less
than the fair market value of the Foreclosed Property as set forth in the most
recent full narrative appraisal (prepared by a Qualified Appraiser) of such
Foreclosed Property. In the absence of any such offer, the Special Servicer
shall offer the Foreclosed Property for sale to any Person other than an
Interested Person, in a commercially reasonable manner for a period of not less
than ten (10) days nor more than such period as shall be determined by the
Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standards, and shall accept
the highest cash offer received therefor in excess of the highest cash offer
previously submitted. If no such offer is received, any Interested Person may
submit an offer for no less than the sum of (i) the Allocated Amount of such
Foreclosed Property, plus (ii) all unpaid interest accrued on the Notes (based
on the weighted average interest rate of the Notes) representing a principal
amount equal to the Allocated Amount (or in the event of the sale of more
than one Foreclosed Property, the aggregate amount of the Allocated Amounts of
all such Foreclosed
117
<PAGE> 126
Properties) and (iii) all other amounts due under the Security Documents, and
the Special Servicer shall accept the highest outstanding cash offer, regardless
of from whom received and regardless of its amount. No Interested Person shall
be obligated to submit an offer to purchase any Foreclosed Property, and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Trustee in its
individual capacity nor any of its Affiliates may offer to purchase or purchase
any Foreclosed Property.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.9, the Special Servicer shall
act on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders in negotiating and
taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of
the Foreclosed Properties, including the collection of all amounts payable in
connection therewith. Any sale of a Foreclosed Property shall be without
warranty by, or recourse to, the Trustee, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Holders or any other Person (except for such warranties of title
and condition as may be customary under the circumstances of any such sale) and,
if consummated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.10, neither
the Trustee, the Issuer, the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any
liability to any Holder with respect to the purchase price thereof accepted by
the Special Servicer or the Trustee.
(c) The proceeds of any sale effected pursuant to Section 7.10(a), after
deduction of the expenses incurred in connection therewith, shall be deposited
in the REO Property Account in accordance with Section 7.6.
SECTION 7.11 Servicing Compensation.
(a) The Servicer shall be entitled to receive as servicing compensation
its Servicing Fee, and after the occurrence of a Loan Event and while such Loan
Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive as
servicing compensation its Special Servicing Fee. In addition, each of the
Servicer and Special Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for all other
costs or expenses incurred directly by it in the performance of its duties
hereunder other than: (i) fees and expenses of any sub-servicer unless such
expenses, if incurred by the Servicer or Special Servicer, would be reimbursable
to the Servicer or Special Servicer; (ii) the cost of any fidelity bond or
errors and omissions policy required by Section 7.5(b); (iii) overhead expenses
of the Servicer and Special Servicer including but not limited to those which

system or otherwise to the Servicer's or Special Servicer's activities under
this Indenture or the income derived by it hereunder including the costs to
Servicer or Special Servicer associated with employees of the Servicer or
Special Servicer performing services in connection with the obligations of the
Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder; and (iv) costs and expenses arising from
the negligence or willful misconduct of the Servicer or Special Servicer. If a
Loan Event ceases following resolution of such Loan Event by a written agreement
negotiated by the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall
118
<PAGE> 127
be entitled to a Work-Out Fee, provided, however, that the Work-Out Fee payable
to the Special Servicer under this Indenture shall not exceed $250,000 per
occurrence; provided, further, that in the event of a Loan Event pursuant to
clause (i) or (ii) of the definition of Loan Event that the Special Servicer has
resolved by a written agreement negotiated by it and that it would have earned a
Workout Fee but solely for the passage of time after such written agreement had
been entered into and is then terminated pursuant to the terms of this Indenture
prior to the cessation of such Loan Event, whether or not for cause, such
terminated Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive such Workout Fee after
its termination and the successor Special Servicer shall have no rights with
respect to such Workout Fee. In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to
receive from the related Property Owner as additional servicing compensation an
assumption fee in the amount of $5,000 in connection with the administration of
each transfer and assumption pursuant to Sections 19.1 or 19.2 of the Mortgage.
In addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee
with respect to each Liquidated Mortgaged Property as to which the Special
Servicer receives Net Liquidation Proceeds. The Liquidation Fee will be payable
from the related Net Liquidation Proceeds.
(b) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of the Servicer's or
Special Servicer's right to receive all or any portion of the fees payable to
the Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder shall be made, and any such attempted
transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition shall be void, unless such transfer
is made to a successor servicer in connection with the assumption by such
successor servicer of the duties hereunder pursuant to Section 7.22 or 7.27(a)
and all (and not a portion) such fees are transferred to such successor servicer
from and after the date of transfer (subject to Section 7.11(a)).
SECTION 7.12 Reports to the Trustee; Statements to the Issuer.
(a) After an Event of Default, the Servicer and Special Servicer shall (i)

thereof), which statement shall be based on information available as of the
close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such date of
delivery; provided, however, that the Servicer's obligation to deliver to the
Trustee the information set forth in items (j), (k), (l), (o), (q) and (r) of
the definition of Payment Date Statement shall not begin until the Business Day

On April 30 of each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, on the
next succeeding Business Day), beginning April 30, 2001, each of the Servicer
and the Special Servicer, at their respective expense, shall cause a firm of
independent public accountants that is a member of the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Trustee, and each
Rating Agency to the effect that such firm has examined such documents and
records as it deemed necessary and appropriate relating to the Servicer's or
Special Servicer, as applicable servicing of the Mortgage Loan under the

applicable, complied with the minimum servicing standards identified in the
Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers in all material
respects, except for such significant exceptions or errors in records that, in
the opinion of such firm, generally accepted auditing standards and the Uniform
Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers requires it to report, in which
case such exceptions shall be set forth in such statement. Copies of such
statement provided to the Trustee by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable shall be provided by the Trustee to any Holder upon request.
SECTION 7.15 Access to Certain Documentation Regarding the Loan.
Upon reasonable advance notice, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as

authorities with respect to investment in the Notes.
The Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable shall provide any
inquiring savings and loan association, bank or insurance company desiring to
purchase a Note, or a beneficial ownership interest therein, or any Rating
Agency at the reasonable request of such association, bank or insurance company
or such Rating Agency, to the extent reasonably available to the Servicer or
Special Servicer, as applicable, specific information as requested; provided
that, the institution (other than a Rating Agency) making such request delivers
a Certificate in the form of Exhibit C and agrees to pay the reasonable fees and
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable in connection therewith.
SECTION 7.16 Inspections.
The Servicer (or after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Loan
Event or with respect to a Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer) shall, at
its expense, inspect or cause to be inspected each Mortgaged Property at least
once each calendar year and furnish to the Trustee upon its request a written
report in electronic or hard copy format of the results of any inspection
required hereunder. If the Issuer fails to pay any sums due under any Note on or
before its due date and such failure is not remedied within five days, or if an
inspection is otherwise warranted in accordance with the Servicing Standards,
the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable shall inspect the Mortgaged
Properties (or such of them as the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable
deems appropriate) within 30 days of the relevant event (or as soon thereafter
as is practicable). The cost of inspecting the Mortgaged Properties more than
once per year shall be paid by the Issuer upon written request by the Servicer
or Special Servicer, as applicable, therefor explaining in reasonable detail the
basis for such costs (and if not paid by the Issuer, such cost shall be
reimbursable as a Property Protection Advance). If an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the costs of inspecting the Mortgaged
Properties more than once per year shall constitute Property Protection Advances
and shall be payable in accordance with Section 5.6 to the extent not otherwise
paid pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement.
SECTION 7.17 Advances.
(a) On or before each Servicer Advance Date, the Servicer shall make the
P&I Advance by depositing in the Payment Account the amount of interest (at the
Security Interest Rate) on the Notes and the Principal Installment Amount that
is due from the Issuer with respect to the next Payment Date and was delinquent
as of 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on such Servicer Advance Date to the extent
required under this Section 7.17. If the Servicer fails to make such required
P&I Advance on such date in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, which
failure shall constitute a Servicer Default (subject to the cure period provided
in Section 7.22), the Trustee, (or the Fiscal Agent, if applicable) shall
deposit into the Payment Account such P&I Advance amount on the Payment Date;
provided that the Trustee (or the Fiscal Agent, if applicable) shall be required
to make a P&I Advance only to the extent that the Trustee (or the Fiscal Agent,
if applicable) has determined that such P&I Advance, together with interest
thereon at the Advance Interest Rate, would not
121
<PAGE> 130
constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance; and provided further with respect to any
Payment Date, the amount of any P&I Advance otherwise required under this
Indenture shall be reduced, after the occurrence and upon the continuance of an
Appraisal Reduction Event and after determination of the Appraisal Reduction
Amount, to an amount equal to the product of (i) the amount required to be
advanced by the Servicer without giving effect to the related Appraisal
Reduction Amount and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal
balance of the Loan as of the first day of the Interest Period relating to such
Payment Date less any such Appraisal Reduction Amounts and the denominator of
which is the principal balance of the Loan as of such date. Such determination
by the Trustee shall be made on the same basis that the Servicer would make such
determination in Section 7.17(d) hereof. All Property Protection Advances shall
be made by the Servicer and, to the extent provided for in this Indenture, after
the occurrence and during the continuance of a Loan Event, the Special Servicer
in a timely manner as necessary and in accordance with the Servicing Standards
to the extent required under this Section 7.17. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Indenture, if the Special Servicer (i) is required
under any other provision of this Indenture to direct or request the Servicer to
make a Property Protection Advance or (ii) is otherwise aware a reasonable
period in advance that it is reasonably likely that the Special Servicer will
incur a cost or expense that will, when incurred, constitute a Property
Protection Advance, the Special Servicer shall (in the case of clause (i), and
shall use reasonable efforts to (in the case of clause (ii)), request that the
Servicer make such Advance, such request to be made in writing and in a timely
manner that does not materially and adversely affect the interests of any Holder
and at least five Business Days prior to the date on which failure to make such
Advance would constitute a Servicer Default pursuant to Section 7.24; provided,
however, that the Special Servicer shall have an obligation to make any
Emergency Advance; and provided, further, that the Special Servicer shall make
any Advance that it fails to timely request the Servicer to make. The Servicer
shall have the obligation to make any such Property Protection Advance that it
is requested by the Special Servicer to make within five Business Days of the
Servicer's receipt of such request and such information and documents as are
reasonably necessary for the Servicer to make such Property Protection Advance.
Subject to the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall be relieved of any
obligations with respect to a Property Protection Advance that it timely
requests the Servicer to make (regardless of whether or not the Servicer shall
make such Advance), other than an Emergency Advance. With respect to Property
Protection Advances, the Servicer shall notify the Trustee, and the Special
Servicer shall notify the Servicer and the Trustee, in writing promptly upon,
and in any event within one Business Day after, becoming aware that it will be
unable to make any Property Protection Advance required to be made pursuant to
the terms hereof, shall set forth in such notice the amount of such Property
Protection Advance, the Person to whom it will be paid, and the circumstances
and purpose of such Property Protection Advance, and shall set forth therein
information and instructions for the payment of such Property Protection
Advance, and, on the date specified in such notice for the payment of such
Property Protection Advance, or, if the date for payment has passed or if no
such date is specified, then within five Business Days following such notice,
the Trustee (or with respect to a Property Protection Advance required to be
made by the Special Servicer, the Servicer, and if the Servicer fails, the
Trustee) shall pay the amount of such Property Protection Advance in accordance
with such information and instructions; provided that the Servicer or Trustee
(or the Fiscal Agent, if applicable) shall be required to make a Property
Protection Advance only to the extent that the Servicer or Trustee (or the
Fiscal Agent, if applicable) has determined that such Property Protection
Advance,
122
<PAGE> 131
together with interest thereon at the Advance Interest Rate, would not
constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance if made. The Servicer will not be required
to make Advances of any principal payable on the Notes (other than Principal
Installment Amounts) or of any interest in excess of the applicable Security
Interest Rate owed by the Issuer on any Class of the Notes.
(b) It is understood that the obligation of the Servicer, the Special
Servicer and the Trustee to make such Advances is mandatory, subject to the
limitations set forth in this Indenture, and shall continue to apply after any
modification of the Security Documents pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof, beyond
the Maturity Date if a payment default shall have occurred on such date,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, other than the
requirement of recoverability, and beyond the insolvency of the Issuer (or any
successor Issuer), and shall continue, subject to the determination of
recoverability until the earliest of (i) the payment in full of all amounts due
under the Notes and the Security Documents and (ii) the date on which all of the
Mortgaged Properties become Liquidated Mortgaged Properties; provided, however,
that the obligations of the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee to
make Advances hereunder are limited to providing a liquidity facility with
respect to the Loan and making certain advances with respect to the preservation
of the Mortgaged Properties as expressly set forth in this Indenture and do not
constitute insurance or any similar credit enhancement with respect to the Loan
or the Notes and in no event shall the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the
Trustee be required to advance any Nonrecoverable Advance.
(c) Interest on each Advance made by the Servicer, the Special Servicer or
the Trustee will compound annually and accrue for each day that such Advance is
outstanding at a rate of interest equal to the Prime Rate as reported from time
to time in the Money Rates Section of the Wall Street Journal (the "Advance
Interest Rate") as most recently available for such day on the basis of a year
of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed during the period such Advance
is outstanding. The Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent or the
Trustee will be entitled to recover interest payable on Advances as set forth in
Section 5.6, to the extent not otherwise recovered or reimbursed pursuant to the
Cash Management Agreement.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Servicer, the
Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be obligated to make an
Advance only to the extent that the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the
Trustee, as applicable, has determined that such Advance, together with interest
thereon at the Advance Interest Rate, would not constitute a Nonrecoverable
Advance if made. The Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee is not
obligated to advance or pay (i) any principal due on the Notes (other than
Principal Installment Amounts, as adjusted in Section 7.17(a)), (ii) any amounts
required to cure a failure of any Mortgaged Property to comply with any law,
including any applicable Environmental Law, or to investigate (except in
connection with the foreclosure or acquisition of a Mortgaged Property as
contemplated by Section 7.7(c)), test, monitor, contain, cleanup or remedy an
environmental condition present at a Mortgaged Property, (iii) Uninsured Causes,
(iv) the cost of any capital improvements to any Mortgaged Property other than
those necessary to prevent an immediate or material loss to the Holders'
interests in the Mortgaged Properties, (v) any interest on the Notes in excess
of the applicable Security Interest Rate owed by the Issuer on any Class of the
Notes, or (vi) any other payments not specified in this Indenture.
123
<PAGE> 132
(e) The determination by the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the
Trustee (or the Fiscal Agent) that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that
any proposed Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall
be evidenced by a certificate of a Servicing Officer (in the case of the
Servicer or the Special Servicer) as a Responsible Officer (in the case of the
trustee), delivered on or before the related Servicer Advance Date in the case
of a P&I Advance or before the fifth Business Day after determination that an
Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance in the case of any other Advance, to
the Servicer (in the case of the Special Servicer), Trustee and the Issuer (in
the case of the Servicer or Special Servicer) or the Servicer and the Issuer (in
the case of the Trustee), and detailing the reasons for such determination,
which in each case shall be accompanied by copies of any engineers' reports,
environmental surveys, other third party reports or other information relevant
thereto that were used by the Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee (or the
Fiscal Agent) to support its determination that any Advance would be
non-recoverable. The costs of any such reports, surveys or other information
used by the Servicer, Special Servicer or the Trustee (or the Fiscal Agent) in
making the determination that an Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Advance
shall be an expense of the Holders or shall constitute a Property Protection
Advance if paid by the Servicer, Special Servicer or the Trustee from its own
funds. The Trustee and the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely
upon any determination by the Servicer or Special Servicer that any advance if
made would be a Non-Recoverable Advance.
(f) All Advances shall be repaid in the order in which originally
advanced, and Advances owed to any prior Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee
shall be repaid in full, with interest, prior to the repayment of Advances made
by the successor Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee; provided, however, that
if the Trustee (or the Fiscal Agent) has made an Advance, it shall be repaid in
full, with interest, prior to the repayment of any Advance made by any other
Servicer or Special Servicer. Any Advance made by the Fiscal Agent on behalf of
the Trustee will not constitute a default of the Trustee hereunder.
SECTION 7.18 Appointment of Special Servicer.
(a) Midland Loan Services, Inc. is hereby appointed as the initial Special
Servicer to service the Loan and Mortgage Loan after the occurrence and during
the continuance of a Loan Event.
(b) The appointment of any such successor special servicer, shall not
relieve the Servicer or the Trustee of their respective obligations to make
Advances as set forth herein; provided, however, neither the Servicer nor the
Trustee shall be liable for any actions or any inaction of such successor
special servicer. Any termination fee payable to a terminated Special Servicer
by the Directing Holders (and it is acknowledged that there is no such fee
payable in the event of a termination of Midland Loan Services, Inc. as Special
Servicer or in the event of a termination for breach of this Agreement) shall be
paid by the Holders so terminating the Special Servicer.
(c) No termination of the Special Servicer and appointment of a successor
special servicer shall be effective until the successor special servicer has
assumed all of its responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder pursuant
to a writing satisfactory to the Trustee and each Rating Agency, as
124
<PAGE> 133
evidence in writing, and the Trustee has received a Rating Agency Confirmation.
Any successor special servicer shall make the representations and warranties
provided for in Section 7.28 mutatis mutandis.
SECTION 7.19 Transfer of Servicing Between Servicer and Special Servicer,
Record Keeping.
(a) Upon the occurrence of a Loan Event, the Servicer shall promptly give
notice thereof to the Special Servicer and the Trustee and shall use its
reasonable best efforts to provide the Special Servicer with all information,
documents (but excluding the original documents constituting the Security
Documents) and records (including records stored electronically on computer
tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to the Loan and the Mortgage Loan
either in the Servicer's or any of its directors', officer', employees',
affiliates' or agents' possession or control or otherwise available to the
Servicer without undue burden or expense, and reasonably requested by the
Special Servicer to enable it to assume its duties hereunder with respect
thereto without acting through a sub- servicer. The Servicer shall use its
reasonable best efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five
Business Days of the date of the occurrence of a Loan Event and in any event
shall continue to act as Servicer and administrator of the Loan and the Mortgage
Loan until the Special Servicer has commenced the servicing of the Loan and the
Mortgage Loan, which shall occur upon the receipt by the Special Servicer of the
information, documents and records referred to in the preceding sentence. After
the occurrence of a Loan Event, the Servicer shall instruct the Property Owners
to continue to remit all payments in respect of the Mortgage Loan to the
Servicer. The Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may agree that,
notwithstanding the preceding sentence, after the occurrence of a Loan Event,
the Servicer shall instruct the Property Owners to remit all payments in respect
of the Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer, provided that the payee in respect
of such payments shall remain the Servicer. The Special Servicer shall remit to
the Servicer any such payments received by it pursuant to the preceding sentence
within one Business Day of receipt. The Servicer shall forward any notices it
would otherwise send to the Property Owners or the Issuer to the Special
Servicer who shall send such notice to the Property Owners or the Issuer.
Upon determining that a Loan Event is no longer continuing, the Special
Servicer shall immediately give notice thereof to the Servicer and the Trustee,
and upon giving such notice, the Special Servicer's obligation to service the
Loan and the Mortgage Loan shall terminate and the obligations of the Servicer
to service and administer the Loan and the Mortgage Loan shall resume. In
addition, if the Property Owners have been instructed, pursuant to the last
sentence of the preceding paragraph, to make payments to the Special Servicer,
upon such determination, the Special Servicer shall instruct the Property Owners
to remit all payments in respect of such directly to the Servicer.
(b) The Special Servicer shall provide to the Trustee originals of
documents (to the extent such documents are in the possession of the Special
Servicer) and copies of any additional documents related to the Loan or the
Mortgage Loan information, including correspondence with the Issuer and the
Property Owners, and the Special Servicer shall promptly provide copies of all
of the foregoing
125
<PAGE> 134
to the Servicer as well as copies of any analysis or internal review prepared by
or for the benefit of the Special Servicer.
(c) After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Loan Event, and
not later than 11:00 a.m. New York time on the Business Day preceding each date
on which the Servicer is required to furnish a report under Section 7.12 to the
Trustee, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Servicer, with a copy to the
Trustee, a written statement describing, (i) the amount of all payments on
account of interest received on the Loan and Mortgage Loan, the amount of all
payments on account of principal, on the Loan and Mortgage Loan, the amount of
Net Insurance Proceeds and Net Liquidation Proceeds received with respect to the
Loan and Mortgage Loan and (ii) such additional information relating to the Loan
and Mortgage Loan as the Servicer or Trustee reasonably requests to enable it to
perform its duties under this Agreement including but not limited to files and
reports in formats approved by the Commercial Mortgage Securities Association or
any successor organization which are customarily delivered by special servicers
in commercial mortgage- backed securitization transactions.
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding subsection (c), the
Servicer shall maintain ongoing payment records with respect to the Loan and
Mortgage Loan and shall provide the Special Servicer with any information
reasonably required by a the Special Servicer to perform its duties under this
Agreement. The Special Servicer shall provide the Servicer with any information
reasonably required by the Servicer to perform its duties under this Agreement.
(e) The Servicer shall maintain all records with respect to the Loan and
Mortgage Loan if the Mortgage Loan or the Loan is defeased and/or prepaid.
SECTION 7.20 Rights of the Issuer with Respect to the Servicer.
The Servicer and Special Servicer shall afford the Issuer or any Rating
Agency, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours access to all
records regarding payments made with respect to the Loan and the Notes and with
respect to any Advances made by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, including
those in electronic form, maintained by the Servicer or Special Servicer as
required hereunder and access to Servicing Officers of the Servicer or Special
Servicer responsible for such records. Upon request, the Servicer or Special
Servicer shall furnish the Issuer or any Rating Agency with the most recent
publicly available financial statements of Servicer (or its corporate parent) or
Special Servicer (or its corporate parent). The Issuer shall not have any
responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Servicer or
Special Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the
Servicer or Special Servicer under this Indenture or otherwise.
SECTION 7.21 Limitation on the Liability of the Servicer and Others.
(a) None of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, nor any of their
respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates or agents shall be under
any liability to the Trustee or the Holders for any action taken or for
refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this
Indenture, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision
shall not protect the
126
<PAGE> 135
Servicer, the Special Servicer or any such other Person against any breach of
warranties or representations made herein by the Servicer or Special Servicer,
as applicable, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of
willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of the Servicer's
or Special Servicer's, as applicable duties or by reason of negligent disregard
of the Servicer's or Special Servicer's, as applicable, obligations and duties
hereunder. The Servicer, the Special Servicer and any of their respective
directors, officers, employees, Affiliates or agents may rely in good faith on
any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any
Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Servicer, the Special
Servicer, and any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents
(each, a "Servicer Indemnified Party" and, collectively, the "Servicer
Indemnified Parties") shall be indemnified by the Issuer and held harmless
against any loss, liability, claim, demand or expense relating to this
Indenture, the Loan, the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Properties, or the
Security Documents, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason
of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance by the
Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, of its duties hereunder or by
reason of negligent disregard of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable, of its obligations and duties hereunder; provided, however, that if
it is found that any such claim or liability has resulted from the bad faith,
willful misconduct or negligence of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable, in the performance by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable, of its duties hereunder, such Servicer Indemnified Party shall repay
such portion of the reimbursed amounts that is attributable to expenses incurred
in relation to its act or omission which is the subject of such finding. If any
Servicer Indemnified Party is entitled to receive indemnification hereunder with
respect to any such action or proceeding brought by a third party, the Issuer
shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such action or proceeding with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Servicer Indemnified Party who shall
not, except with the consent of such Servicer Indemnified Party, be counsel to
the Issuer. Upon assumption by the Issuer of the defense of any such action or
proceeding, such Servicer Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate
in such action or proceeding and to retain its own counsel, but the Issuer shall
not be liable for any legal fees or expenses subsequently incurred by such
Servicer Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the
Issuer has agreed to pay such fees and expenses or (ii) counsel provided by the
Issuer pursuant to the foregoing is counsel to the Issuer and such Servicer
Indemnified Party shall have been advised by such counsel that representation of
such Servicer Indemnified Party by such counsel provided by the Issuer pursuant
to the foregoing would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicting
interests between the Issuer and such Servicer Indemnified Party, including
situations in which there are one or more legal defenses available to such
Servicer Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those
available to the Issuer; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not, in
connection with any such action or proceeding, or separate but substantially
similar actions or proceedings arising out of the same general allegations, be
liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at
any time, in addition to any local counsel, for all such Servicer Indemnified
Parties. No Issuer shall consent to the terms of any compromise or settlement of
any action defended by the Issuer in accordance with the foregoing without the
prior consent of the Servicer Indemnified Party. No Issuer shall be required to
indemnify any Servicer Indemnified Party for any amount paid or payable by such
Servicer Indemnified Party in settlement of any action, proceeding or
investigation without the prior written consent of the Issuer, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. Promptly after receipt by any Servicer
Indemnified Party of notice of its involvement (or the involvement of any of
127
<PAGE> 136
its affiliates or such affiliate's directors, officers, shareholders, agents or
employees) in any action, proceeding or investigation, such Servicer Indemnified
Party shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made
against the Issuer hereunder, notify the Issuer in writing of such involvement,
but the failure of such Servicer Indemnified Party to provide such notice shall
neither cause the forfeiture of the right to receive indemnity hereunder nor
limit such right, except to the extent, if any, that the Issuer is prejudiced by
the failure of the Servicer Indemnified Party to promptly give such notice. This
indemnity shall survive termination or resignation of the Servicer or Special
Servicer or termination of the Indenture.
Neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be under any
obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not
incidental to its duties under this Indenture or which in the Servicer's or
Special Servicer's opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided,
however, that, subject to the rights of the Directing Holders set forth in
Section 5.12(a), the Servicer or Special Servicer may, in its discretion,
undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of
this Indenture and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests
of the Holders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such
action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and
liabilities of the Issuer payable from the Collateral. The indemnification
provided herein is limited in each case to actual damages and does not extend to
consequential damages.
(b) Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer agrees, with respect to
its actions and omissions and those of its agents (but, not with respect to the
actions or omissions of any other Person), to indemnify the Trustee and the
Holders and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any
other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees) that the Trustee and/or the Holders may sustain in connection with this
Indenture related to the willful misconduct, bad faith and/or negligence by the
Servicer or Special Servicer, in the performance of duties by the Servicer or
Special Servicer hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations
and duties by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, except that
neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be liable for losses (i)
that arise from events occurring or conditions existing prior to the date of
this Indenture; (ii) which were known to the Trustee but not disclosed to the
Servicer or Special Servicer and as to which an employee or agent of the
Servicer or Special Servicer performing the duties of the Servicer or Special
Servicer hereunder did not otherwise have knowledge, unless such failure to have
such knowledge resulted from such Person's negligence, bad faith or misconduct;
(iii) which are caused by Servicer's or Special Servicer's inability to perform
because of the unavailability of funds in the Deposit Account or the Collection
Account or any Reserve Accounts or because any Advance would be a Nonrecoverable
Advance; or (iv) which are caused by any action or inaction taken by the
Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with the express recommendation or at
the direction of Trustee or due to the negligence, bad faith or misconduct of
the Trustee; provided, that such indemnity is limited to actual damages and
shall not cover consequential damages. The Trustee shall immediately notify the
Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, if a claim is made with respect to
this Indenture or the Loan entitling the Trustee or the Holders to
indemnification hereunder, whereupon the Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable, shall assume the defense of any such claim (with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee) and pay all expenses in connection
128
<PAGE> 137
therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any
judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such
claim. Any failure to so notify the Servicer or Special Servicer shall not
affect any rights the Trustee or the Holders may have to indemnification under
this Indenture or otherwise except to the extent the Servicer or Special
Servicer is prejudiced by such failure. Such indemnity obligation shall survive
the termination of the Trustee and the Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder
and the termination of this Indenture. Neither the Servicer nor the Special
Servicer shall be required to indemnify the Trustee and the Holders for any
amount paid or payable by either of them in settlement of any action, proceeding
or investigation without the prior written consent of the Servicer or Special
Servicer, as applicable, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
SECTION 7.22 Servicer and Special Servicer Not to Resign; Termination of
Servicer by Holders.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.23, neither the Servicer nor
the Special Servicer shall resign from its obligations and duties hereby imposed
on it, except (a) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer
permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict with applicable
law, or (b) upon thirty (30) days notice to the Trustee provided, that upon
appointment of a successor servicer meeting the qualifications described in this
Section 7.22(a) and Section 7.27 is appointed. Any determination permitting the
resignation of the Servicer or Special Servicer upon a determination that its
duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in
material conflict with applicable law must be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel
to such effect obtained by the Servicer or Special Servicer (at the Servicer's
or Special Servicer's expense) and delivered to the Trustee and the Issuer. No
resignation by the Servicer or Special Servicer under this Indenture shall
become effective until the Trustee, in accordance with Section 7.27 hereof, or a
successor Servicer or Special Servicer shall have assumed the Servicer's or
Special Servicer's responsibilities and obligations. Any such successor Servicer
or Special Servicer shall satisfy the requirements set forth in the fourth
sentence of Section 7.27(a) (other than clause (iii) of such section). The
Servicer or Special Servicer may assign its rights and delegate its duties
hereunder to a directly or indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of the Servicer or
Special Servicer provided such assignment is consented to in writing by the
Trustee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
(b) Upon the occurrence and continuance of a Servicer Default, the Trustee
may, and on the written request of the Holders of Notes evidencing, in the
aggregate, no less than 25% of the Outstanding aggregate principal amount of the
Notes, shall, terminate the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under
this Indenture and replace the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, with
a successor servicer having the qualifications set forth in Section 7.27;
provided, however, that such replacement shall not terminate any rights
(including rights to any amounts owed to the Servicer or Special Servicer under
this Indenture or any other Security Documents) and obligations accrued prior to
such replacement and provided, further, that the Holders shall not be entitled
to terminate the Servicer or Special Servicer under this Section 7.22(b) unless
the successor servicer or successor special servicer reimburses the Servicer or
Special Servicer, as applicable, for all outstanding unreimbursed Advances made
by the Servicer or Special Servicer and interest thereon,
129
<PAGE> 138
whereupon such successor servicer or successor special servicer shall be
entitled to reimbursement of such Advances from the Collateral pursuant to this
Indenture to the same extent as the prior Servicer or Special Servicer would
have otherwise been entitled. In connection with any termination and replacement
of the Servicer or Special Servicer, the Trustee shall make such arrangements
for the compensation of the successor servicer or successor special servicer as
it shall deem reasonable and, if such compensation is in excess of the
compensation being paid the Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder, such
compensation shall be approved by the Holders of no less than 66-2/3% of the
Outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes and, if no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer; provided that if the Holders select
a successor Servicer or successor Special Servicer the Holders will also be
responsible for negotiating the compensation to be paid to such successor
Servicer or successor Special Servicer in accordance with the foregoing.
SECTION 7.23 Merger or Consolidation of the Servicer.
The Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each keep in full effect its
existence and rights as a corporation or other entity, as the case may be, under
the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, and shall obtain and preserve

the contrary notwithstanding; so long as (i) the successor or surviving Person

of thirty (30) days after the date on which written notice of such failure
shall have been given to the Servicer or Special Servicer by the Trustee;
provided that in the case of any such failure that is susceptible to cure,
but that cannot with diligence be cured within such 30-day period, if the
Servicer or Special Servicer will have promptly commended to cure the same
within such 30-day period and thereafter (as evidenced by a certificate of
a Servicing Officer), prosecutes the curing thereof with diligence, the
period within which such failure may be cured will be extended for such
further period as will be reasonably necessary for the curing thereof,
such period not to exceed an additional 30 days; or
(iii) a representation or warranty of the Servicer or Special
Servicer set forth in this Indenture or the Cash Management Agreement
shall prove to be incorrect as of the time made in any respect that
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders, and the
circumstances or condition in respect of which such representation or
warranty was incorrect shall not have been eliminated or cured within
thirty (30) days after the date on which written notice thereof shall have
been given to the Servicer or Special Servicer by the Trustee; provided
that in the case of any such failure that is susceptible to cure, but that
cannot with diligence be cured within such 30-day period, if the Servicer
or Special Servicer will have promptly commenced to cure the same within
such 30-day period (as evidenced by a certificate of a Servicing Officer)
and thereafter prosecutes the curing thereof with diligence, the period
within which such failure may be cured will be extended for such further
period as will be reasonably necessary for the curing thereof, such period
not to exceed an additional 30 days; or
(iv) the entry of a decree or order of a court or agency or
supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the
appointment of a conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency,

proceedings against the Servicer or Special Servicer, or for the
winding-up or liquidation of the Servicer's or Special Servicer's affairs,
and such decree or order remains unstayed and in effect for a period of
sixty (60) days; or
131
<PAGE> 140
(v) the consent by the Servicer or Special Servicer to the
appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or liquidating
committee in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets
and liabilities, voluntary liquidation or similar proceedings of or
relating to the Servicer or Special Servicer or of or relating to all or
substantially all of its property; or
(vi) Moody's places the ratings of any Class of the Securities on a
"watch" status in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal (or
Moody's has downgraded or withdrawn any Class of Securities), citing
servicing concerns with respect to the Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as applicable, as the sole or a contributing factor in such rating action
and the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not have
resolved all such matters to the satisfaction of Moody's within sixty (60)
days (or such longer time period as may be agreed in writing by Moody's)
after such placement on "watch" status; or;
(vii) the Trustee receives notice from DCR that failure to remove
the Servicer or the Special Servicer will result in the downgrade or

Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not have resolved such
matter to the satisfaction of DCR within 60 days (or such longer period as
may be granted by DCR) after such notice.
Subject to Section 7.22(b), if (A) a Servicer Default due to any action or
inaction of the Servicer or Special Servicer shall occur, (B) any of the
representations or warranties of Servicer or Special Servicer are breached in
any material respect and, as a result thereof, a Servicer Default occurs, or (C)
the Servicer or Special Servicer fails to carry out any other of its obligations
under this Indenture or the Cash Management Agreement and, as a result thereof,
a Servicer Default occurs or (D) a Servicer Default occurs under clause (vi) or
(vii) above, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Servicer
Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee either (i) may, or (ii) in the
event of Servicer Default under (D) above or, upon the written direction of the
Holders of Notes evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 25% of the
Outstanding principal amount of the Notes, shall terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable hereunder other
than rights (including rights to any amounts owed to it under this Indenture or
any other Security Documents) and obligations accrued prior to such termination
by notice in writing to the Servicer or Special Servicer (with a copy to each
Rating Agency).

occurrence of any Servicer Default, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all
Holders notice of such Servicer Default, unless such Servicer Default shall have
been cured or waived.
132
<PAGE> 141
On or after the receipt by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable, of written notice of termination, all authority, power and
obligations of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under this
Indenture (other than its capacity, if any, as a Holder) shall pass to and be
vested in the Trustee in its capacity as successor Servicer or Special Servicer,
as applicable, hereunder pursuant to and under this Section including, without
limitation, the obligation to make Advances hereunder pursuant to Section 7.17.
The Servicer and Special Servicer agree to provide to the Trustee promptly (and
in any event no later than five Business Days subsequent to such notice) all
documents and records, including those in electronic form, requested by it to
enable it to assume the Servicer's or Special Servicer's, as applicable,
obligations hereunder, and to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the
termination of the Servicer's or Special Servicer's, as applicable,
responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the
transfer within one Business Day to the Trustee or its duly appointed agent or
any successor appointed by it for administration by it of all cash and other
securities then held in the Deposit Account, the Collection Account or any of
the Reserve Accounts maintained pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement and
any other cash received by the Servicer or Special Servicer under the Loan or
the Security Documents and which shall at the time have been or should have been
credited by the Servicer or Special Servicer to the Payment Account or
thereafter received with respect to the Loan (provided, however, that
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Servicer and
Special Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or
owing to it under this Indenture and the other Security Documents on or prior to
the date of such termination, whether in respect of Advances or otherwise in
accordance with the terms hereof). All reasonable costs and expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred by the Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders in
connection with the appointment of a successor Servicer or Special Servicer,
including, but not limited to, transferring originals of the Security Documents
to the successor Servicer or Special Servicer and, if applicable, amending this
Indenture to reflect such succession as Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to
this Section shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer or Special Servicer upon
presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses to the
Trustee; provided, however that all such costs and expenses shall be paid by the
Directing Holders in the event that the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant
to Section 5.12(d) and no Servicer Event of Default has occurred or is
continuing. If not paid by the predecessor Servicer or Special Servicer within
sixty (60) days after the request therefor, such costs and expenses shall be
advanced by the Issuer, who shall then be entitled to reimbursement therefor
from the predecessor Servicer, predecessor Special Servicer or Directing Holders
as applicable.
SECTION 7.25 Remedies of Trustee.
During the continuance of any Servicer Default and so long as such
Servicer Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the
rights specified in Section 7.22 and/or 7.24 and elsewhere in this Indenture,
shall have the right, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, to take
all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce
its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and
remedies, of the Holders (including the institution and prosecution of all
judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filing of proofs of
claim, debt and other papers in connection therewith). Except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Indenture, no remedy provided for by this Indenture
shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be
cumulative and in addition to any other remedy and no delay or
133
<PAGE> 142
omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy
or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Servicer Default.
SECTION 7.26 Directions by Holders and Duties of Trustee During Servicer
Default.
During the continuance of any Servicer Default, Holders of Notes
evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than a majority of the Outstanding
principal of the Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or
power conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture; provided, however, that
the Trustee shall be under no obligation to pursue any such remedy, or to
exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Indenture (including,
without limitation, (i) the conducting or defending of any administrative action
or litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, and (ii) the terminating of the
Servicer or Special Servicer or any successor Servicer or Special Servicer from
its rights and duties as Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder) at the request,
order or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders shall have offered
the Trustee security or indemnification satisfactory to the Trustee against the
costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby and,
provided, further, that the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow
any such direction if the Trustee determines that the action or proceeding so
directed may not lawfully be taken (such determination to be evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Trustee and delivered to the Holders of the
Notes making such direction, with a copy to the Servicer or Special Servicer and
the Issuer; the cost of such Opinion of Counsel to be payable by the Issuer in
accordance with Section 6.5), if the Trustee in good faith determines that the
action or proceeding so directed would involve it in personal liability or be
unjustly prejudicial to the non-assenting Holders or if the Trustee determines
that the action or proceeding is not consistent with the Servicing Standards.
SECTION 7.27 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
(a) On and after the time the Servicer or Special Servicer receives a
notice of termination pursuant to Section 5.12(d) or Section 7.24 or the Trustee
receives the resignation of the Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with
Section 7.22(a) (unless a successor is appointed pursuant to Section 7.22), the
Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer or Special
Servicer, as the case may be, in its capacity as Servicer or Special Servicer,
as the case may be, under this Indenture and the transactions set forth or
provided for herein and shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to
all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the
Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, accruing after such
termination; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not succeed to the duties
and responsibilities of the Servicer or Special Servicer unless it shall be an
"approved" servicer as determined by each Rating Agency; and provided, further,
however, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by
the Servicer's or Special Servicer's, as the case may be, failure to comply with
Section 7.22 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. In its
capacity as such successor, the Trustee shall have the same limitation of
liability herein granted to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may
be. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation
as the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, would have been
entitled to hereunder if no such notice of termination or resignation had been
given (other than amounts due under this Indenture or the other Security
Documents prior
134
<PAGE> 143
to the date of such termination), including, without limitation, the fees
payable hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Trustee may,
if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is not an "approved"
servicer as determined by each Rating Agency or is unable to so act, appoint,
any established financial institution or mortgage servicing institution which,
(i) shall be affirmed pursuant to a Rating Agency Confirmation by each of the
Rating Agencies, (ii) has a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and (iii) if
no declaration of acceleration of the Loan has occurred, has been consented to
in writing by the Issuer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld (as such
consent right to terminate after the expiration of 30 days after request
therefore from the Trustee), as the successor to the Servicer or Special
Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of
the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer or Special Servicer,
as the case may be, hereunder; provided, however, that until such appointment
and assumption, the Trustee will continue to perform the servicing obligations
pursuant to this Indenture to the extent set forth above. In connection with any
such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor as it and such successor shall agree; provided,
however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the
Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder unless approved by
the Issuer and the Holders of no less than 66-2/3% of the Notes and subject to
receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation. In the event that no successor Servicer
or Special Servicer has been appointed as provided above, the Trustee shall
solicit, by public announcement, bids from commercial finance institutions,
banks and mortgage servicing institutions meeting the qualifications set forth
above. Within sixty (60) days after any such public announcement, the Trustee
shall negotiate and effect the sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing
rights and responsibilities hereunder to the qualified party submitting the
highest satisfactory bid. The Trustee shall deduct all costs and expenses of any
public announcement and of any sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing
rights and responsibilities hereunder from any sum received by the Trustee from
the successor to the Servicer or Special Servicer in respect of such sale,
transfer and assignment. After such deductions, the remainder of such sum shall
be paid by the Trustee to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be,
at the time of such sale, transfer and assignment to the Servicer's or Special
Servicer's, as the case may be, successor, net of any amounts due from the
Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, which shall be
deposited in the Payment Account. If no successor servicer or special servicer
shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within sixty (60)
days after the Trustee receives the resignation of the Servicer or Special
Servicer in accordance with Section 7.22, the Trustee may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor servicer or special
servicer in accordance with the procedures and terms set forth above. The
Trustee, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and such successor shall
take such action, consistent with this Indenture, as shall be necessary to
effectuate any such succession. Neither the Trustee nor any successor Servicer
or Special Servicer shall be deemed to be in default of any of its obligations
under this Section if and to the extent that such default arises from failure of
the Servicer or Special Servicer to timely provide all applicable books, records
and other documents necessary to effectuate the sale, transfer or assignment of
servicing rights to the Trustee or a successor Servicer or Special Servicer in
accordance with this Section.
(b) Any successor, including the Trustee, to the Servicer or Special
Servicer hereunder shall during the term of its service as servicer maintain in
force (i) a policy or policies of insurance
135
<PAGE> 144
covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as mortgage
servicer hereunder, and (ii) a fidelity bond in respect of its officers,
employees and agents to the same extent that the Servicer or Special Servicer is
required pursuant to Section 7.5(b).
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, no Person
(other than the Trustee) shall be appointed as a successor Servicer or Special
Servicer unless a Rating Agency Confirmation is obtained.
SECTION 7.28 Notification to Holders.
(a) Upon any termination of the Servicer or Special Servicer or
appointment of a successor to the Servicer or Special Servicer, in each case as
provided herein, the Trustee shall as soon as practicable give written notice
thereof to each Rating Agency, to the Issuer and to each of the Holders at its
addresses appearing in the Register.
(b) Any notification to Holders required pursuant to Section 7.24 or
Section 7.22 shall advise the Holders of their rights hereunder.
SECTION 7.29 Waiver of Past Events of Default.
Either the Trustee or the Holders of Notes evidencing, in the aggregate,
not less than 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Principal of the Notes may, on behalf
of all Holders of Notes, waive any Servicer Default hereunder and its
consequences; provided, that in the absence of written instructions from all
Holders the Trustee shall not waive any Servicer Default (i) consisting of the
failure to remit or deposit any interest on the Notes as required by it
hereunder, or the failure of the Servicer or Special Servicer to make any
Advance as required hereunder, or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision
hereunder that under Article IX hereof cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of each Holder or (iii) as described in subsections (vi) or (vii) of
Section 7.24 hereof. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall
cease to exist, and any Servicer Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to
have been remedied for every purpose of this Indenture. No such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent
thereon.
SECTION 7.30 Representations and Warranties.
Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer hereby represents and
warrants to the other parties hereto that as of the Closing Date:
(i) it has been duly organized and is validly existing under the
laws of the State of Delaware and is in compliance with and in good

hereof, in each case by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may
be, will conflict with or result in a breach of or constitute a default
under (A) the terms of any material agreement or instrument to which it is
a party or by which it is bound; (B) the organizational documents of the
Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be; or (C) to its knowledge,
the provisions of any law, governmental rule, regulation, judgment, decree
or order binding on the Servicer or Special Servicer or its properties, as

(A) or clause (C) materially and adversely affects (X) the ability of the

materially and adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations
hereunder; and

Holders, the Special Servicer may forgive any payment of principal or interest
on the Notes or significantly accelerate or defer payment of principal or
interest thereon, subject however to each of the following limitations,
conditions and restrictions: (i) no reduction in the interest rate or reduction
or delay of any interest payment or forgiveness of interest may result in a
shortfall of interest to any class of Notes other than the Directing Holders
unless the Holders of 66 2/3% of the Outstanding aggregate principal amount of
such Class of Notes consents thereto; (ii) the Special Servicer may only agree
to reductions of principal and/or interest and/or delay payments of principal

consent shall approve the substance thereof. No such supplement or amendment of
this Indenture or the Notes shall be permitted to the extent that such amendment
would cause an outstanding Advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance.

Mortgaged Properties under any applicable statute, rule, order or regulation of
any governmental authority, under the Notes, this Indenture or any of the other

(b) The Issuer will, forthwith after the execution and delivery of this
Indenture and thereafter from time to time, cause the Mortgage and any

filed, registered and recorded in such manner and in such places as may be
required by law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect and perfect
the validity thereof or the lien thereof purported to be created upon the
property subject thereto and the Issuer will take such actions with respect to
the interest and rights of the Trustee in the Collateral as are necessary or
reasonably requested by the Trustee or the Servicer to preserve the interest and
rights of the Trustee therein. The Issuer will pay or cause to be paid all
document, recording, stamp and similar taxes and fees incident to such filing,
registration and recording, and all expenses incident to the preparation,

affecting the Collateral to the extent such lien or encumbrance is being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings in accordance with and as
permitted by the provisions of Article 12 of the Mortgage. The Issuer will at

Property Owner, subject to the Permitted Exceptions.

Eligible Account (the "Casualty Account"), in the name of the Servicer as agent
for the Trustee, shall invest the funds in the Casualty Account in the manner
described in the Cash Management Agreement and shall disburse or apply such

SECTION 11.6 Notes Payable on Redemption Date.
If notice of redemption shall have been given as aforesaid, the Notes
subject to redemption shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at

If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender
thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest from the
Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Note.
SECTION 11.7 Notes Redeemed in Part.
Any Note which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a
place of payment therefor (with, if the Issuer or the Trustee so requires, due

Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note without
service charge, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested

beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before, and continuing
until, the date notice is given identifying the Notes to be redeemed, or (ii) to

Meetings.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee

appointment of proxies and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors
of votes, the submission and examination of proxies, certificates and other
evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of
the meeting as it shall deem appropriate. Such regulations may provide that
written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed
valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 1.3 or other proof.
(b) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a chairman of
the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Issuer or by
Holders of Notes as provided in Section 13.2(b), in which case the Issuer or the
Holders of Notes calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner
appoint a chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the
meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Notes represented at the meeting.
(c) At any meeting each Holder of a Note or proxy shall be entitled to one
vote for each $1,000 principal amount of the Outstanding Notes held or
represented by such Holder; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or
counted at any meeting in respect of any Note challenged as
153
<PAGE> 162
not Outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding.
The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a Holder of a
Note or of a proxy.
(d) Any meeting of Holders of Notes duly called pursuant to Section 13.2
at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons
entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes
represented at the meeting; and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without
further notice.
SECTION 13.6 Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meetings.
The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of Notes
shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the
Holders of Notes or their representatives by proxy and the principal amounts and
serial numbers of the Outstanding Notes held or represented by them. The
permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who
shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who
shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written
reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least in
duplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders of Notes shall be
prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said
record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot
taken thereat and affidavits by one or more Persons having knowledge of the
facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said
notice was given as provided in Section 13.2 and, if applicable, Section 13.4.
Each copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent
chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to
the Issuer, and another to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the
latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so
signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

non-recourse obligation of the Issuer secured only by the Collateral and payable
only from the Collateral. The provisions of Section 1.14 of the Indenture are
hereby incorporated by reference, as if set forth in full herein.

In connection with such purchase, the undersigned hereby confirms

such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the

investment. We are acquiring the Purchased Securities purchased by us for
our own account. We are not acquiring the Purchased Securities with a view
to distribution thereof (within the meaning of the Securities Act) or with
any present intention of offering or selling any of the Purchased
Securities provided that the disposition of our property shall remain at
all times within our control.
2. The Purchaser has reviewed the final Offering Memorandum dated ,

effect set forth below and in the Offering Memorandum under "Notice to
Investors."
3. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchased Securities have not

its capacity as an owner of the Purchased Securities in all respects as if
it were a signatory thereto. This undertaking is made for the benefit of
the Issuer, the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Trustee and all
holders of the Securities present and future.
5. The Purchaser will not sell or otherwise transfer any portion of
the Purchased Securities, except in compliance with the [Indenture]

to be made on the Purchased Securities. The Purchaser has attached
hereto either (i) a duly executed IRS Form W-8 (or successor form),

2. Period of Employment.
The "Period of Employment" shall be the period commencing on January
24, 2000 and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, ending on January 23,
2005; provided, that, commencing on January 24, 2004, and on each January 24

Employee shall be in charge of Employer's development activities,
supervise development employees, supervise joint ventures and supervise outside
contractors and vendors. During the Period of Employment, Employee shall report
directly to Messrs. Steven Roth and Michael Fascitelli. Subject to the
supervisory powers of Messrs. Roth and Fascitelli, Employee shall have those
powers and duties normally associated with the position of Executive Vice
President-Development and such other powers and duties as may be prescribed by
Messrs. Roth and Fascitelli, provided that such other powers and duties are
consistent with Employees's position as Executive Vice President-Development.
Employee shall devote his full business time, attention and efforts
to the affairs of Employer and its subsidiaries during the Period of Employment;
provided, however, that Employee may engage in other activities, such as
activities involving trade, charitable, educational, religious and similar types
of organizations (all of which are hereby deemed to benefit Employer), speaking
engagements, membership on the board of directors of non-profit organizations,
and similar type activities to the extent that such other activities do not
materially impair the performance of his duties under this Agreement, or inhibit
or conflict in any material way with the business of Employer and its
subsidiaries. In addition, Employee shall be permitted, to the extent such
activities do not substantially interfere with the performance by Employee of
his duties and responsibilities hereunder or violate Section 8 hereof, to serve
as an officer, employee, trustee, director, shareholder and/or general partner
of any entity (or any successor
-2-
<PAGE> 3
thereto) that currently owns, directly or indirectly, any property or entity
listed in Exhibit A attached hereto, provided that, for each such entity,
Employee's activities are primarily related to such properties.
4. Cash Compensation.
Employer shall pay to Employee a salary ("Base Compensation") at an
annual rate of no less than $500,000.00, to be paid in equal biweekly
installments. Increases in Base Compensation, if any, shall be determined by the
Compensation Committee of the Board based on periodic reviews of Employee's
performance conducted no less frequently than annually. If Employee's Base
Compensation is increased by Employer, such increased compensation shall then
constitute the Base Compensation for all purposes of this Agreement. Employee's
Base Compensation shall not be reduced during the term of this Agreement.
5. Share Options; Restricted Stock.
(a) Employer shall grant Employee share options to purchase 250,000
shares of Employer's Common Shares of Beneficial Interest ("Stock") pursuant to

price per share equal to the fair market value of the Stock on the date the
options are granted. Such options shall be granted on the first day of the
Period of Employment, Employer shall take all necessary actions to ensure that
such options qualify, to the extent permitted, as "incentive stock options"
within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. Such options shall be subject to the general terms of the 1993 Plan and
the share option agreement thereunder. The share options shall become

respective dates. Employer will grant Employee share options with respect to not
less than 100,000 shares in each of the Company's fiscal years during the Period
of Employment beginning with the 2001 fiscal year.
(b) Employer shall grant Employee 148,148 shares of Stock pursuant
to the terms of the 1993 Plan on the first day of the Period of Employment,
subject to the vesting provisions of this paragraph. Dividends on all vested
shares shall be paid to Employee on a current basis. Such shares of stock shall
vest at the rate of 20% on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of
grant, provided that Employee remains an employee of Employer on such date.
Following the execution of this Agreement, Employer will look into
establishing a "rabbi trust" for restricted stock (and the accompanying
dividends at the Employee's option) granted to Employer's executives. In the
event no such rabbi trust is established prior to the first anniversary of the
date of grant of restricted stock under this paragraph (b), Employer will
establish such a rabbi trust solely for the benefit of Employee.

amount of all income taxes payable by Employee with respect to the receipt of
such amounts (taking into account any moving expense or other deductions
available to Employee) shall include but not be limited to reasonable moving
expenses, temporary living expenses and real estate commissions. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the total amount payable by Employer to Employee under this
Section shall not exceed $150,000.
7. Termination and Termination Benefits.
The termination of Employee's employment during the Period of
Employment by Employee or Employer shall not be treated as a breach of this
agreement.
-7-
<PAGE> 8
(a) Termination by the Employer Without Cause.
The Employer may terminate the Period of Employment and Employee's
employment hereunder without "Cause" upon written notice to Employee. For
purposes of this Section 7(a), a termination of the Period of Employment by the
Employer without Cause shall include any termination by the Employer (other than
a termination for Cause as defined in Section 7(b) below).
(b) Termination by the Employer for Cause.
Subject to the following paragraph, the Employer may terminate the
Period of Employment and Employee's employment hereunder for "Cause" upon
written notice to Employee. For purposes of this Section 7(b), a termination for
Cause shall only mean a termination as a result of (i) Employee's willful
misconduct with regard to Employer or to any entity in control of, controlled by
or under common control with the Employer (an "Affiliate"), including, but not
limited to, any preferred stock subsidiary of the Employer, that is materially
economically injurious to Employer, (ii) Employee's conviction of, or plea of
guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony (other than a traffic violation) or (iii)
Employee's willful and continued failure to use reasonable business efforts to
attempt to substantially perform his duties hereunder (other than such failure
resulting from Employee's incapacity due to a physical or mental illness or
subsequent to the issuance of a notice of termination by Employee for Good
Reason) after demand for substantial performance is delivered by Employer in
writing that specifically identifies the manner in which Employer believes
Employee has not used reasonable business efforts to attempt to substantially
perform his duties.
-8-
<PAGE> 9
For purposes of this Section 7(b), in addition to the other legal
requirements to be "willful", no act, or failure to act, by Employee shall be
considered "willful" unless committed in bad faith and without a reasonable
belief that the act or omission was in the best interests of Employer. In
addition, no action or inaction shall give rise to a right of Employer to
terminate this Agreement and Employee's employment hereunder for Cause pursuant
to the preceding paragraph unless and until Employer has delivered to Employee a
copy of a resolution duly adopted by a majority of the Board at a meeting of the
Board called and held for such purpose after reasonable (but in no event less
than thirty (30) days) notice to Employee and an opportunity for Employee,
together with his counsel, to be heard before the Board, finding that in the
good faith opinion of the Board, Employee was guilty of any conduct set forth in
the preceding paragraph and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. This
Section 7(b) shall not prevent Employee from challenging in any court of
competent jurisdiction the Board's determination that Cause exists or that
Employee has failed to cure any act (or failure to act) that purportedly formed
the basis for the Board's determination.
(c) Termination by Employer Due to Disability.
If, due to illness, physical or mental disability, or other
incapacity, Employee is substantially unable, for one hundred and eighty (180)
consecutive days, to perform his duties hereunder, Employer may terminate the
Period of Employment and his Employment hereunder upon at least thirty (30)
days' prior written notice to Employee given after one hundred eighty (180)
days, and provided Employee does not
-9-
<PAGE> 10
return to the substantial performance of his duties on a full-time basis within
such thirty (30) day period.
(d) Termination by Employee With Good Reason.
Subject to the following paragraph, Employee may terminate the
Period of Employment and his employment hereunder for "Good Reason" upon written
notice to Employer. For purposes of this Section 7(d), a termination for Good
Reason shall mean a termination as a result of (unless otherwise consented to in
writing by Employee) (i) the failure to appoint Employee to the positions set
forth in Section 1, the alteration of the duties, responsibilities and authority
of Employee as set forth in Section 1 in a manner that is materially and
adversely inconsistent with such duties, and responsibilities or authority or a
change to Employee's position or title; (ii) a failure by Employer to pay when
due any compensation to Employee or to substantially provide any benefit to
Employee; (iii) the relocation of Employer's principal executive offices to a
location other than the New York metropolitan area or relocation of Employee's
own office location from that of the principal executive offices; (iv) any
purported termination of Employee's employment for Cause which is not effected
pursuant to the procedures of Section 7(b) (and for purposes of this Agreement,
no such purported termination shall be effective); (v) Employer's material
breach of any material term contained in this Agreement; (vi) a Change in
Control (as defined below), or (vii) any requirement that Employee report to
anyone other than the President of Employer or the Chief Executive Officer of
Employer. Employee's right to terminate his employment hereunder for Good Reason
shall not be affected by his incapacity due to physical or mental illness.
-10-
<PAGE> 11
For purposes of this Section 7(d), no action or inaction shall give
rise to the right of Employee to terminate the Period of Employment and
Employee's employment hereunder for Good Reason unless a written notice is given
by Employee to the Employer within one hundred twenty (120) days after Employee
has actual knowledge of the occurrence of the event giving rise to Employee's
right to terminate pursuant to this Section 7(d), and such event has not been
cured within thirty (30) days after such notice. Employee's continued employment
during the one hundred and twenty (120) day period referred to above in this
Section 7(d), shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with
respect to, any act or failure to act constituting Good Reason hereunder.
For purposes of this Section 7(d), "Change in Control" shall mean
the occurrence of any one of the following:
(i) individuals who, as of January 24, 2000, constitute the Board
(the "Incumbent Trustees") cease for any reason to constitute at least a
majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a trustee subsequent to
January 24, 2000 whose election or nomination for election was approved by a
vote of at least two-thirds of the Incumbent Trustees then on the Board (either
by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of Employer in which
such person is named as a nominee for trustee, without objection to such
nomination) shall be an Incumbent Trustee, provided, however, that no individual
initially elected or nominated as a trustee of Employer as a result of an actual
or threatened election contest with respect to trustees or as a result of any
other
-11-
<PAGE> 12
actual or threatened solicitation of proxies by or on behalf of any person other
than the Board shall be an Incumbent Trustee;
(ii) any "person" (as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and as used in Sections
13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes, after January 24,
2000, a "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act),
directly or indirectly, of securities of Employer representing 30% or more of
the combined voting power of Employer's then outstanding securities eligible to
vote for the election of the Board (the "Employer's Voting Securities"),
provided, however, that an event described in this paragraph (ii) shall not be
deemed to be Change in Control if any of the following becomes such a beneficial
owner: (A) Employer or any majority-owned subsidiary (provided, that this
exclusion applies solely to the ownership levels of Employer or the
majority-owned subsidiary), (B) any tax-qualified, broad-based employee benefit
plan sponsored or maintained by Employer or any majority-owned subsidiary, (C)
any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such
securities, (D) any person pursuant to a Non-Qualifying Transaction (as defined
in paragraph (iii)), (E) Employee or any group of persons including Employee (or
any entity controlled by Employee or any group of persons including Employee) or
(F) (i) any of the partners (as of January 1, 1998) in Interstate Properties
("Interstate") including immediate family members and family trusts or
family-only partnerships and any charitable foundations of such partners (the
"Interstate Partners"), (ii) any entities the majority of the voting interests
of which are beneficially owned by the Interstate Partners, or (iii) any "group"
-12-
<PAGE> 13
(as described in Rule 13d-5(b)(i) under the Exchange Act) including the
Interstate Partners, provided, that the Interstate Partners beneficially own a
majority of Employer's Voting Securities beneficially owned by such group (the
persons in (i), (ii) and (iii) shall be individually and collectively referred
to herein as "Interstate Holders");
(iii) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, share exchange or
similar form of transaction involving Employer or any of its Subsidiaries, or
the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of Employer's assets
(a "Business Transaction"), unless immediately following such Business
Transaction (y) more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of the
entity resulting from such Business Transaction or the entity acquiring
Employer's assets of the Operating Partnership in such Business Transaction (the
"Surviving Corporation") is beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by the
Interstate Holders or Employer's shareholders immediately prior to any such
Business Transaction, and (z) no person (other than the persons set forth in
clauses (A), (B), (C), or (F) of paragraph (ii) above or any tax-qualified,
broad-based employee benefit plan of the Surviving Corporation or its
Affiliates) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 30% or more of the total
voting power of the Surviving Corporation (a "Non- Qualifying Transaction"); or
(iv) Board approval of a liquidation or dissolution of Employer,
unless the voting common equity interests of an ongoing entity (other than a
liquidating trust) are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by Employer's
shareholders in substantially the same proportions as such shareholders owned
Employer's outstanding voting
-13-
<PAGE> 14
common equity interests immediately prior to such liquidation and such ongoing
entity assumes all existing obligations of Employer under this Agreement and any
equity grant.
(e) Termination by Employee Other Than Pursuant to Section 7(d).
Employee may terminate this Agreement and Employee's employment
hereunder at any time, for any reason upon ninety (90) days' prior written
notice to Employer. All share options and restricted stock which have previously
vested in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 shall be deemed to be
owned by the Employee upon such termination.
(f) Death Benefit.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Period of
Employment shall terminate on the date of Employee's death. In such event, (i)
Employee's estate shall be paid the amount specified in Section 7(g)(i) below
and one (1) times Employee's annual rate of Base Salary and (ii) Employer shall
provide Employee's spouse and dependents with welfare benefits as provided in
Section 7(g)(ii) for one (1) year from the date of death.
(g) Termination Compensation.
Upon the termination of the Period of Employment and Employee's
employment hereunder, Employer shall provide Employee with the payments and
benefits set forth below. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the payments and

grants and agreements constitute liquidated damages for termination of his
employment hereunder (including any nonextension of the Period of Employment).
-14-
<PAGE> 15
(i) Upon a termination of the Period of Employment and Employee's
employment hereunder, Employee shall be entitled to promptly receive (A) his
Base Compensation through the effective date of termination, (B) if such
termination is other than pursuant to Section 7(b) hereof, any annual earned
bonus for any completed fiscal year, (C) if such termination is pursuant to
Sections 7(a), 7(c) or 7(d) hereof, a pro rata share of Employee's annual target
bonus for the fiscal year of termination, (D) the benefits, fringes and
perquisites, including without limitation accrued vacation (provided that if the
termination is pursuant to Section 7(b) or 7(e) hereof, only such payment of
accrued vacation as is required by law or Employer's vacation policy), provided
pursuant to Section 6 hereof up to the effective date of such termination and
(E) any other amount due Employee under any other program or plan of Employer.
(ii) In the event of a termination of the Period of Employment and
Employee's employment pursuant to Section 7(a) or 7(d) hereof, Employee shall be
fully vested in the share options and restricted stock referred to in Section 5
hereof. In addition, if such termination occurs on or after the fourth
anniversary of the commencement of the Period of Employment, Employee shall also
be entitled to (A) receive an amount (the "Severance Amount") equal to the sum
of (x) three times Employee's annualized Base Compensation (as in effect on the
date of such termination or, if greater, immediately prior to the Good Reason
event, if any, based on which the termination of employment occurs) and (y)
three times Employee's Bonus Severance Amount (as defined herein). The "Bonus
Severance Amount" shall mean an amount equal to the average of all annual
bonuses earned by the Employee from Employer in the
-15-
<PAGE> 16
two (2) fiscal years ending immediately prior to Employee's termination; (the
Severance Amount shall be payable in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of such
termination). In the event of a termination pursuant to Section 7(a) or 7(d)
hereof on or after the fourth anniversary of the commencement of the Period of
Employment, Employee (his spouse and his dependents, if applicable) shall also
be entitled to continue to participate in the medical, dental, hospitalization
and life insurance programs existing on the date of termination (or any
replacement plans for any such plans) with regard to senior executive officers
of a similar level (or their cash equivalents, and, if Employer provides a cash
payment in lieu of such benefits, it shall be calculated on a grossed-up tax
basis as if Employee had remained an employee) for three (3) years from the date
of termination; provided, that Employee shall be obligated to make all employee
contributions required to receive such benefits under Employer's programs and
that such continued benefits shall terminate on the date or dates Employee
receives equivalent coverage and benefits, without waiting period or
pre-existing conditions limitations, under the plans and programs of a
subsequent employer (such coverage and benefits to be determined on a
coverage-by-coverage or benefit-by-benefit, basis). Employee shall not be
entitled to any compensation or benefits pursuant to this Section 7(g)(ii) if
his employment hereunder is terminated pursuant to Section 7(b) or as a result
of Employee's voluntary termination pursuant to Section 7(e).
-16-
<PAGE> 17
(h) No Mitigation.
All amounts due hereunder shall be paid without any obligation to
mitigate and such amounts shall not be reduced by or offset by any other amounts
earned by Employee or any claims of Employer.
8. Non-Competition and Non-Disclosure.
In consideration of the benefits to be provided to Employee
hereunder, Employee covenants that he will not, without the consent in writing
of Employer, (a) during the Period of Employment and the twelve (12) month
period following his termination of employment for any reason other than
pursuant to Section 7(c) hereof, Employee will not engage in any business
otherwise competitive with that of Employer or any of its subsidiaries in the
States of New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Massachusetts and
Connecticut; and (b) upon termination of the Period of Employment for any reason
whatsoever, Employee will not for a period of one year thereafter, (i) solicit
any employees of Employer or its subsidiaries to leave their employment, or (ii)
copy, remove from Employer or its subsidiaries, disclose or make any use of, any
client list, confidential business information with respect to clients, material
relating to the practices or procedures of Employer or its subsidiaries, or any
other proprietary information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section shall
not apply to (i) Employee's activities with respect to any property listed in
Exhibit A attached hereto, provided that such activities are reasonably
necessary to avoid a breach of Employee's or the general partner's fiduciary or
other duty to the owner or other owners of such property (Employee agrees that
the activities prohibited by clause (b)(i) of the preceding sentence
-17-
<PAGE> 18
are not reasonably necessary to avoid a breach of such duties), (ii) the
acquisition, operation, development, management, leasing or disposition of any
property by any entity in which Employee owns or acquires an equity interest as
a minority passive investor (including, but not limited to as a limited partner
or a non-operating member of a limited liability company, but not including as a
general partner) having no managerial or similar role with respect to such
property, or (iii) the ownership of less than one (1%) percent of any publicly
traded corporation, whether or not such corporation is in competition with the
Employer, provided that if Employee wishes to trade shares of a publicly traded
real estate company, he shall obtain the Employer's prior approval.
Employee acknowledges that the restrictions, prohibitions and other
provisions of this Section 8 are reasonable, fair and equitable in scope, terms
and duration, are necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the
Employer and are a material inducement to the Employer to enter into this
Agreement. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the restrictions
contained in this paragraph be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law. Therefore, to the extent any court of competent jurisdiction
shall determine that any portion of the foregoing restrictions is excessive,
such provision shall not be entirely void, but rather shall be limited or
revised only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable. Should Employee
engage in or perform, directly or indirectly, any of the acts prohibited by
Section 8 hereof, it is agreed that the Employer shall be entitled to seek full
injunctive relief, to be issued by any competent court of equity, enjoining and
restraining Employee and each and every other person, firm, organization,
association, or corporation concerned therein,
-18-
<PAGE> 19
from the continuance of such violative acts. The foregoing remedy available to
Employer shall not be deemed to limit or prevent the exercise by the Employer of
any or all further rights and remedies which may be available to the Employer
hereunder or at law or in equity.
9. Burden and Benefit.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, personal and legal
representatives, successors and assigns. In the event of the death of Employee
at or after his termination, any amounts due hereunder shall be paid to his
estate unless he has designated a beneficiary.
10. Legal Fees and Expenses.
If any contest or dispute shall arise between Employer and Employee
regarding any provision of this Agreement or any equity grant or other agreement
or compensation arrangement specifically set forth or provided for herein,
Employer shall reimburse Employee for all legal fees and expenses reasonably
incurred by Employee in connection with such contest or dispute, but only if
Employee is successful in respect of substantially all of the Employee's claims
brought and pursued in connection with such contest or dispute. Such
reimbursement shall be made as soon as practicable following the resolution of
such contest or dispute (whether or not appealed) to the extent Employer
receives reasonable written evidence of such fees and expenses.
-19-
<PAGE> 20
11. Indemnification.
(a) General.
Employer agrees that if Employee is made a party or threatened to be
made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (a "Proceeding"), arising out of Employee's
services to Employer, Employee shall be indemnified and held harmless by
Employer to the fullest extent authorized by Maryland law, as the same exists or
may hereafter be amended, against all Expenses incurred or suffered by Employee
in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to Employee
even if Employee has ceased to be an officer or is no longer employed by
Employer and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and
administrators.
(b) Expenses.
As used in this Agreement, the term "Expenses" shall include,
without limitation, damages, losses, judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties,
excise taxes, settlements, and costs, attorneys' fees, accountants' fees, and
disbursements and costs of attachment or similar bonds, investigations, and any
expenses of establishing a right to indemnification under this Agreement.
(c) Enforcement.
If a claim or request under this Agreement is not paid by Employer
or on its behalf, within thirty (30) days after a written claim or request has
been received by Employer, Employee may at any time thereafter bring suit
against Employer to recover the unpaid amount of the claim or request and if
successful in whole or in part, Employee
-20-
<PAGE> 21
shall be entitled to be paid also the expenses of prosecuting such suit. All
obligations for indemnification hereunder shall be subject to, and paid in
accordance with, applicable Maryland law.
(d) Partial Indemnification.
If Employee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to
indemnification by Employer for some or a portion of any Expenses, but not,
however, for the total amount thereof, Employer shall nevertheless indemnify
Employee for the portion of such Expenses to which Employee is entitled.
(e) Advances of Expenses.
Expenses incurred by Employee in connection with any Proceeding
shall be paid by Employer in advance upon request of Employee that Employer pay
such Expenses; but, only in the event that Employee shall have delivered in
writing to Employer (i) an undertaking to reimburse Employer for Expenses with
respect to which Employee is not entitled to indemnification and (ii) an
affirmation of his good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for
indemnification by Employer has been met.
(f) Notice of Claim.
Employee shall give to Employer notice of any claim made against him
for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement. In
addition, Employee shall give Employer such information and cooperation as it
may reasonably require and as shall be within Employee's power and at such times
and places as are convenient for Employee.
-21-
<PAGE> 22
(g) Defense of Claim.
With respect to any Proceeding as to which Employee notifies
Employer of the commencement thereof:
(i) Employer will be entitled to participate therein at its own
expense; and
(ii) Except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may
wish, Employer will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to Employee, which in Employer's sole
discretion may be regular counsel to Employer and may be counsel to other
officers and directors of Employer or any subsidiary. Employee also shall
have the right to employ his own counsel in such action, suit or
proceeding if he reasonably concludes that failure to do so would involve
a conflict of interest between Employer and Employee, and under such
circumstances the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of Employer.
(iii) Employer shall not be liable to indemnify Employee under this
Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim
effected without his written consent. Employer shall not settle any action
or claim in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on
Employee without Employee's written consent. Neither Employer nor Employee
will unreasonably withhold or delay their consent to any proposed
settlement.
(h) Non-exclusivity.
-22-
<PAGE> 23
The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in
defending a Proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this
Section shall not be exclusive of any other right which Employee may have or
hereafter may acquire under any statute, provision of the declaration of trust
or certificate of incorporation or by-laws of Employer or any subsidiary,
agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or trustees
otherwise.
12. Governing Law.

accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without references to
principles of conflict of laws. If under such law any portion of this Agreement
is at any time deemed to be in conflict with any applicable statute, rule,
regulation or ordinance, such portion shall be deemed to be modified or altered
to conform thereto or, if that is not possible, to be omitted from this
Agreement; and the invalidity of any such portion shall not affect the force,
effect and validity of the remaining portion hereof.

in writing and signed by the party to be charged. No waiver by either party
hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of any condition or
provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed

which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will
constitute one of the same instrument.
18. Section Headings.
The section headings in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only, and they form no part of this Agreement and shall not affect its

otherwise due him or them.
7. EVENT OF DEFAULT
Failure by Executive to pay any sum due hereunder when due and
payable which has not been cured by Executive within 30 days following actual
receipt of written notice given by the Company, or the occurrence of an event of
default under any of the Loan Documents, shall constitute an event of default
under this Note and the Company may, at its sole option exercised by notice to
