EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2019 of Vornado Realty Trust and Vornado Realty L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “Vornado” refer to Vornado Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”), and references to the “Operating Partnership” refer to Vornado Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. References to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean collectively Vornado, the Operating Partnership and those subsidiaries consolidated by Vornado.
The Operating Partnership is the entity through which we conduct substantially all of our business and own, either directly or through subsidiaries, substantially all of our assets. Vornado is the sole general partner and also a 93.1% limited partner of the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, Vornado has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management.
Under the limited partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, unitholders may present their Class A units for redemption at any time (subject to restrictions agreed upon at the time of issuance of the units that may restrict such right for a period of time). Class A units may be tendered for redemption to the Operating Partnership for cash; Vornado, at its option, may assume that obligation and pay the holder either cash or Vornado common shares on a one-for-one basis. Because the number of Vornado common shares outstanding at all times equals the number of Class A units owned by Vornado, the redemption value of each Class A unit is equivalent to the market value of one Vornado common share, and the quarterly distribution to a Class A unitholder is equal to the quarterly dividend paid to a Vornado common shareholder. This one-for-one exchange ratio is subject to specified adjustments to prevent dilution. Vornado generally expects that it will elect to issue its common shares in connection with each such presentation for redemption rather than having the Operating Partnership pay cash. With each such exchange or redemption, Vornado’s percentage ownership in the Operating Partnership will increase. In addition, whenever Vornado issues common shares other than to acquire Class A units of the Operating Partnership, Vornado must contribute any net proceeds it receives to the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership must issue to Vornado an equivalent number of Class A units of the Operating Partnership. This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT.
The Company believes that combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of Vornado and the Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:
enhances investors’ understanding of Vornado and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation because a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both Vornado and the Operating Partnership; and
creates time and cost efficiencies in the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.
The Company believes it is important to understand the few differences between Vornado and the Operating Partnership in the context of how Vornado and the Operating Partnership operate as a consolidated company. The financial results of the Operating Partnership are consolidated into the financial statements of Vornado. Vornado does not have any significant assets, liabilities or operations, other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership, not Vornado, generally executes all significant business relationships other than transactions involving the securities of Vornado. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of the assets of Vornado. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for the net proceeds from equity offerings by Vornado, which are contributed to the capital of the Operating Partnership in exchange for Class A units of partnership in the Operating Partnership, and the net proceeds of debt offerings by Vornado, the net proceeds of which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for debt securities of the Operating Partnership, as applicable, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company’s business. These sources may include working capital, net cash provided by operating activities, borrowings under the revolving credit facility, the issuance of secured and unsecured debt and equity securities and proceeds received from the disposition of certain properties.

VORNADO REALTY TRUST AND VORNADO REALTY L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)



1.
Organization
Vornado Realty Trust (“Vornado”) is a fully-integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and conducts its business through, and substantially all of its interests in properties are held by, Vornado Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). Vornado is the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 93.1% of the common limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 2019. All references to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean, collectively, Vornado, the Operating Partnership and those entities/subsidiaries consolidated by Vornado.

2.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of Vornado and the Operating Partnership and their consolidated subsidiaries. All inter-company amounts have been eliminated and all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form  10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the SEC.
We have made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period presentation. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, "property rentals" of $444,595,000 and $884,705,000, respectively, and "tenant expense reimbursements" of $58,312,000 and $118,622,000, respectively, were grouped into "rental revenues" on our consolidated statements of income in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements.

3.
Recently Issued Accounting Literature
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an update (“ASU 2016-02”) establishing ASC Topic 842, Leases ("ASC 842"), as amended by subsequent ASUs on the topic, which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to apply a two-method approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase. Lessees are required to record a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months. Lease liabilities equal the present value of future lease payments. Right-of-use assets equal the lease liabilities adjusted for accrued rent expense, initial direct costs, lease incentives and prepaid lease payments. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to the previously existing lease guidance under ASC Topic 840, Leases ("ASC 840"). Lease expense is recognized based on the effective interest method for finance leases or on a straight-line basis for operating leases. The accounting applied by the lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under ASC 840. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2019. We have completed our evaluation of the overall impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements and accounting policies. In transitioning to ASC 842, we elected to use the practical expedient package available to us and did not elect to use hindsight. As of January 1, 2019, we had 12 ground leases classified as operating leases, for which we were required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability equal to the present value of the future lease payments. We will continue to recognize expense on a straight-line basis for these leases. We recorded an aggregate of $526,866,000 of ROU assets and a corresponding $526,866,000 of lease liabilities as a result of the adoption of this standard (see Note 20 - Leases).

3.
Recently Issued Accounting Literature - continued
Under ASU 2016-02, initial direct costs for both lessees and lessors would include only those costs that are incremental to the arrangement and would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained. As a result, beginning January 1, 2019, we no longer capitalize internal leasing costs and instead expense these costs as incurred, as a component of "general and administrative" expense on our consolidated statements of income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we capitalized $1,358,000 and $2,706,000, respectively, of internal leasing costs. In addition, we have made changes to our provision policy for lease receivables. Under ASC 842, we must assess on an individual lease basis whether it is probable that we will collect the future lease payments. We consider the tenant's payment history and current credit status when assessing collectability. When collectability is not deemed probable we write-off the tenant's receivables, including straight-line rent receivable, and limit lease income to cash received. Changes to the collectability of our operating leases are recorded as adjustments to "rental revenues" on our consolidated statements of income which resulted in a $14,492,000 and $15,382,000 decrease in income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.
In February 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-13”) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments establishing ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, as amended by subsequent ASUs on the topic. ASU 2016-13 changes how entities will account for credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaces the current “incurred loss” model with an “expected loss” model that requires consideration of a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses over the lifetime of the financial asset. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements, but do not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2018-13”) Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement to ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, and/or adding certain disclosures. ASU 2018-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We elected to early adopt ASU 2018-13 effective January 1, 2019. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In October 2018, the FASB issued an update ("ASU 2018-16") Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes to ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. ASU 2018-16 expands the list of U.S. benchmark interest rates permitted in the application of hedge accounting by adding the OIS rate based on SOFR as an eligible benchmark interest rate. ASU 2018-16 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We adopted this update effective January 1, 2019. The adoption of this update did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition
Our revenues primarily consist of rental revenues and fee and other income. We operate in two reportable segments: New York and Other, with a significant portion of our revenues included in the New York segment. We have the following revenue sources and revenue recognition policies:
Rental revenues include revenues from the leasing of space at our properties to tenants and revenues from the Hotel Pennsylvania, trade shows, tenant services and lease termination income.
Revenues from the leasing of space at our properties to tenants includes (i) lease components, including fixed and variable lease payments, and nonlease components which include reimbursement of common area maintenance expenses, and (ii) reimbursement of real estate taxes and insurance expenses. As lessor, we have elected to combine the lease and nonlease components of our operating lease agreements and account for the components as a single lease component in accordance with ASC 842. Lease revenues and reimbursement of common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance are presented on the following page as "property rentals." Revenues derived from fixed lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable period of the lease, together with renewal options that are reasonably certain of being exercised. We commence rental revenue recognition when the underlying asset is available for use by the lessee. Revenue derived from the reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance expenses and common area maintenance expenses are generally recognized in the same period as the related expenses are incurred.
Lease termination income is recognized immediately if a tenant vacates or is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shortened remaining lease term in accordance with ASC 842.
Hotel revenue arising from the operation of Hotel Pennsylvania consists of room revenue, food and beverage revenue, and banquet revenue. Room revenue is recognized when the rooms are made available for the guest, in accordance with ASC 842.
Trade shows revenue arising from the operation of trade shows is primarily booth rentals. This revenue is recognized upon the occurrence of the trade shows when the trade show booths are made available for use by the exhibitors, in accordance with ASC 842.
Tenant services revenue arises from sub-metered electric, elevator, trash removal and other services provided to tenants at their request. This revenue is recognized as the services are transferred in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606").
Fee and other income includes management, leasing and other revenue arising from contractual agreements with third parties or with partially owned entities and includes Building Maintenance Service (“BMS”) cleaning, engineering and security services. This revenue is recognized as the services are transferred in accordance with ASC 606.

Investments in Partially Owned Entities
Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV
On April 18, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into a transaction agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) with a group of institutional investors (the “Investors”). The Transaction Agreement provides for a series of transactions (collectively, the “Transaction”) pursuant to which (i) prior to the Closing Date, we contributed our interests in properties located at 640 Fifth Avenue, 655 Fifth Avenue, 666 Fifth Avenue, 689 Fifth Avenue, 697-703 Fifth Avenue, 1535 Broadway and 1540 Broadway (collectively, the “Properties”) to subsidiaries of a newly formed joint venture (“Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV”) and (ii) on the Closing Date, transferred a 48.5% common interest in Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV to the Investors. The 48.5% common interest in the joint venture represents an effective 47.2% interest in the Properties (of which 45.4% was transferred from Vornado). The Properties include approximately 489,000 square feet of retail space, 327,000 square feet of office space, signage associated with 1535 and 1540 Broadway, the parking garage at 1540 Broadway and the theatre at 1535 Broadway.
We retained the remaining 51.5% common interest in Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV which represents an effective 51.0% interest in the Properties and an aggregate $1.828 billion of preferred equity interests in certain of the properties. We also provided $500,000,000 of temporary preferred equity on 640 Fifth Avenue until May 23, 2019 when mortgage financing was completed. All of the preferred equity has an annual coupon of 4.25% for the first five years, increasing to 4.75% for the next five years and thereafter at a formulaic rate. It can be redeemed under certain conditions on a tax deferred basis.
Net cash proceeds from the Transaction were $1.186 billion, after (i) deductions for the defeasance of a $390,000,000 mortgage loan on 666 Fifth Avenue and the repayment of a $140,000,000 mortgage loan on 655 Fifth Avenue, (ii) proceeds from a $500,000,000 mortgage loan on 640 Fifth Avenue, described below, (iii) approximately $23,000,000 used to purchase noncontrolling investors' interests and (iv) approximately $53,000,000 of transaction costs (including $17,000,000 of costs related to the defeasance of the 666 Fifth Avenue mortgage loan).
We continue to manage and lease the Properties. We share control with the Investors over major decisions of the joint venture, including decisions regarding leasing, operating and capital budgets, and refinancings. Accordingly, we no longer hold a controlling financial interest in the Properties which has been transferred to the joint venture. As a result, our investment in Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV is accounted for under the equity method from the date of transfer. The Transaction valued the Properties at $5,556,000,000 resulting in a financial statement net gain of $2,571,099,000, before noncontrolling interest of $11,945,000, including the related step-up in our basis of the retained portion of the assets to fair value. The net gain is included in "net gain on transfer to Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV" on our consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The gain for tax purposes was approximately $735,000,000.
On May 23, 2019, we received $500,000,000 from the redemption of our preferred equity in 640 Fifth Avenue. The preferred equity was redeemed from the proceeds of a $500,000,000 mortgage financing that was completed on the property. The five year loan, which is guaranteed by us, is interest only at LIBOR plus 1.01%. The interest rate was swapped for four years to a fixed rate of 3.07%.
Related Party Transactions
We provide various services to Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV in accordance with management, development, leasing and other agreements, as described below.
We receive an annual fee for managing the Properties equal to 2% of the gross revenues from the Properties. In addition, we are entitled to a development fee of 5% of development costs, plus reimbursement of certain costs, for development projects performed by us. We are entitled to 1.5% of development costs, plus reimbursement of certain costs, as a supervisory fee for development projects not performed by us. We provide leasing services for fees calculated based on a percentage of rents, less any commissions paid to third-party real estate brokers, if applicable. We jointly provide leasing services for the retail space with Crown Acquisitions Inc. ("Crown"), and exclusively provide leasing services for the office space. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized $830,000 of property management fee income.
BMS, our wholly-owned subsidiary, supervises cleaning, security and engineering services at certain of the Properties. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized $791,000 of income for these services.
We believe, based on comparable fees charged by other real estate companies, that the fees described above are at fair market value.
Haim Chera, Executive Vice President - Head of Retail, has an investment in Crown, a company controlled by Mr. Chera's family. Crown has a nominal minority interest in Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV. Additionally, we have other investments with Crown.

Alexander’s, Inc. (“Alexander’s”) (NYSE: ALX)
As of June 30, 2019, we own 1,654,068 Alexander’s common shares, or approximately 32.4% of Alexander’s common equity. We manage, lease and develop Alexander’s properties pursuant to agreements which expire in March of each year and are automatically renewable.
As of June 30, 2019, the market value ("fair value" pursuant to ASC 820) of our investment in Alexander’s, based on Alexander’s June 28, 2019 quarter ended closing share price of $370.30, was $612,501,000, or $509,496,000 in excess of the carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2019, the carrying amount of our investment in Alexander’s, excluding amounts owed to us, exceeds our share of the equity in the net assets of Alexander’s by approximately $38,928,000. The majority of this basis difference resulted from the excess of our purchase price for the Alexander’s common stock acquired over the book value of Alexander’s net assets. Substantially all of this basis difference was allocated, based on our estimates of the fair values of Alexander’s assets and liabilities, to real estate (land and buildings). We are amortizing the basis difference related to the buildings into earnings as additional depreciation expense over their estimated useful lives. This depreciation is not material to our share of equity in Alexander’s net income. The basis difference related to the land will be recognized upon disposition of our investment.
512 West 22nd Street
On June 28, 2019, a joint venture, in which we have a 55% interest, completed a $145,700,000 refinancing of 512 West 22nd Street, a 173,000 square foot office building in the West Chelsea submarket of Manhattan. The four-year interest only loan carries a rate of LIBOR plus 2.00% (4.40% as of June 30, 2019) and matures in June 2023 with a one-year extension option. The loan replaces the previous $126,000,000 construction loan that bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.65% and was scheduled to mature in 2019.
Urban Edge Properties (“UE”) (NYSE: UE)
On March 4, 2019, we converted to common shares and sold all of our 5,717,184 partnership units of UE, realizing net proceeds of $108,512,000. The sale resulted in a net gain of $62,395,000 which is included in "net gains on disposition of wholly owned and partially owned assets" on our consolidated statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

61 Ninth Avenue
On January 28, 2019, a joint venture, in which we have a 45.1% interest, completed a $167,500,000 refinancing of 61 Ninth Avenue,
a 166,000 square foot office and retail property in the Meatpacking district of Manhattan which is fully leased to Aetna and Starbucks. The seven-year interest only loan carries a rate of LIBOR plus 1.35% (3.77% as of June 30, 2019) and matures in January 2026. We realized net proceeds of approximately $31,000,000. The loan replaces the previous $90,000,000 construction loan that bore interest at LIBOR plus 3.05% and was scheduled to mature in 2021.

330 Madison Avenue
On July 11, 2019, we sold our 25% interest in 330 Madison Avenue to our joint venture partner. We received net proceeds of approximately $100,000,000 after deducting our share of the existing $500,000,000 mortgage loan. The third quarter financial statement gain will be approximately $159,000,000. The tax gain will be approximately $138,000,000.
Toys "R" Us, Inc. ("Toys")
On September 18, 2017, Toys filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. In the second quarter of 2018, Toys ceased U.S. operations. On February 1, 2019, the plan of reorganization for Toys, in which we owned a 32.5% interest, was declared effective and our stock in Toys was canceled. As of December 31, 2018, we carried our Toys investment at zero. The canceling of our stock in Toys resulted in a $420,000,000 capital loss deduction for tax purposes in 2019 (which if not offset by capital gains will result in a capital loss carry over available for five years).

Debt
On February 4, 2019, we completed a $95,700,000 refinancing of 435 Seventh Avenue, a 43,000 square foot Manhattan retail property. The interest-only loan carries a rate of LIBOR plus 1.30% (3.73% as of June 30, 2019) and matures in 2024. The recourse loan replaces the previous $95,700,000 loan that bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% and was scheduled to mature in August 2019.
On February 12, 2019, we completed a $580,000,000 refinancing of 100 West 33rd Street, a 1.1 million square foot Manhattan property comprised of 859,000 square feet of office space and the 256,000 square foot Manhattan Mall. The interest-only loan carries a rate of LIBOR plus 1.55% (3.98% as of June 30, 2019) and matures in April 2024, with two one-year extension options. The loan replaces the previous $580,000,000 loan that bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.65% and was scheduled to mature in July 2020.
On May 24, 2019, we extended our $375,000,000 mortgage loan on 888 Seventh Avenue, a 886,000 square foot Manhattan office building, from December 2020 to December 2025. The interest rate on the extended mortgage loan is LIBOR plus 1.70% (4.11% as of June 30, 2019). Pursuant to an existing swap agreement, the interest rate on the $375,000,000 mortgage loan has been swapped to 3.25% through December 2020.
Senior Unsecured Notes
On March 1, 2019, we called for redemption all of our $400,000,000 5.00% senior unsecured notes. The notes, which were scheduled to mature in January 2022, were redeemed on April 1, 2019 at a redemption price of 105.51% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. In connection therewith, we expensed $22,540,000 relating to debt prepayment costs which is included in "interest and debt expense" on our consolidated statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
On March 26, 2019, we increased to $1.5 billion (from $1.25 billion) and extended to March 2024 (as fully extended) from February 2022 one of our two unsecured revolving credit facilities. The interest rate on the extended facility was lowered from LIBOR plus 1.00% to LIBOR plus 0.90%. The facility fee remains unchanged at 20 basis points.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests/Redeemable Partnership Units
Redeemable noncontrolling interests on Vornado’s consolidated balance sheets and redeemable partnership units on the consolidated balance sheets of the Operating Partnership are primarily comprised of Class A Operating Partnership units held by third parties and are recorded at the greater of their carrying amount or redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the value from period to period are charged to “additional capital” in Vornado’s consolidated statements of changes in equity and to “partners’ capital” on the consolidated balance sheets of the Operating Partnership.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the aggregate redemption value of redeemable Class A units of the Operating Partnership, which are those units held by third parties, was $857,527,000 and $778,134,000, respectively.
Redeemable noncontrolling interests/redeemable partnership units exclude our Series G-1 through G-4 convertible preferred units and Series D-13 cumulative redeemable preferred units, as they are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities and Equity, because of their possible settlement by issuing a variable number of Vornado common shares. Accordingly, the fair value of these units is included as a component of “other liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets and aggregated $50,561,000 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Changes in the value from period to period, if any, are charged to “interest and debt expense” on our consolidated statements of income.

Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs")
Unconsolidated VIEs
As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we have several unconsolidated VIEs. We do not consolidate these entities because we are not the primary beneficiary and the nature of our involvement in the activities of these entities does not give us power over decisions that significantly affect these entities’ economic performance. We account for our investment in these entities under the equity method. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the net carrying amount of our investments in these entities was $214,623,000 and $257,882,000, respectively. Our maximum exposure to loss in these entities is limited to the carrying amount of our investments.
Consolidated VIEs
Our most significant consolidated VIEs are the Operating Partnership (for Vornado), the Fund and the Crowne Plaza Joint Venture, the Farley joint venture and certain properties that have non-controlling interests. These entities are VIEs because the non-controlling interests do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights. We consolidate these entities because we control all significant business activities.
As of June 30, 2019, the total assets and liabilities of our consolidated VIEs, excluding the Operating Partnership, were $4,633,391,000 and $2,421,708,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, the total assets and liabilities of our consolidated VIEs, excluding the Operating Partnership, were $4,445,436,000 and $2,533,753,000, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820 defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The objective of fair value is to determine the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 – observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 – unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret Level 2 and 3 inputs in determining the fair value of our financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Accordingly, our fair value estimates, which are made at the end of each reporting period, may be different than the amounts that may ultimately be realized upon sale or disposition of these assets.
Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets consist of (i) marketable securities, (ii) real estate fund investments, (iii) the assets in our deferred compensation plan (for which there is a corresponding liability on our consolidated balance sheets), (iv) interest rate swaps and (v) mandatorily redeemable instruments (Series G-1 through G-4 convertible preferred units and Series D-13 cumulative redeemable preferred units). The tables below aggregate the fair values of these financial assets and liabilities by their levels in the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Real Estate Fund Investments

As of June 30, 2019, we have four real estate fund investments with an aggregate fair value of $306,596,000, or $22,968,000 below our cost. These investments are classified as Level 3.

Significant unobservable quantitative inputs used in determining the fair value of each investment include capitalization rates and discount rates. These rates are based on the location, type and nature of each property, current and anticipated market conditions, industry publications and from the experience of our Acquisitions and Capital Markets departments. Significant unobservable quantitative inputs in the table below were utilized in determining the fair value of these real estate fund investments as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The above inputs are subject to change based on changes in economic and market conditions and/or changes in use or timing of exit. Changes in discount rates and terminal capitalization rates result in increases or decreases in the fair values of these investments. The discount rates encompass, among other things, uncertainties in the valuation models with respect to terminal capitalization rates and the amount and timing of cash flows. Therefore, a change in the fair value of these investments resulting from a change in the terminal capitalization rate may be partially offset by a change in the discount rate. It is not possible for us to predict the effect of future economic or market conditions on our estimated fair values.

Deferred Compensation Plan Assets

Deferred compensation plan assets that are classified as Level 3 consist of investments in limited partnerships and investment funds, which are managed by third parties. We receive quarterly financial reports from a third-party administrator, which are compiled from the quarterly reports provided to them from each limited partnership and investment fund. The quarterly reports provide net asset values on a fair value basis which are audited by independent public accounting firms on an annual basis. The period of time over which these underlying assets are expected to be liquidated is unknown. The third party administrator does not adjust these values in determining our share of the net assets and we do not adjust these values when reported in our consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis on our consolidated balance sheets consist primarily of real estate and right-of-use assets required to be measured for impairment as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. As of June 30, 2019, our estimate of the fair value of the 608 Fifth Avenue assets was measured using a discounted cash flow analysis based upon market conditions and expectations of growth, resulting in a write-down to zero (see Note 16 - Transaction Related Costs, Impairment Losses and Other). For real estate assets to be sold, the sales price per the executed purchase and sale agreement, net of closing costs, was utilized to determine the fair value. As of December 31, 2018, the fair value of real estate assets required to be measured for impairment were determined using comparable sales activity.

Fair Value Measurements - continued
Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value

Financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets include cash equivalents (primarily money market funds, which invest in obligations of the United States government), and our secured and unsecured debt. Estimates of the fair value of these instruments are determined by the standard practice of modeling the contractual cash flows required under the instrument and discounting them back to their present value at the appropriate current risk adjusted interest rate, which is provided by a third-party specialist. For floating rate debt, we use forward rates derived from observable market yield curves to project the expected cash flows we would be required to make under the instrument. The fair values of cash equivalents and borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facilities and unsecured term loan are classified as Level 1. The fair values of our secured and unsecured debt are classified as Level 2. The table below summarizes the carrying amounts and fair value of these financial instruments as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Stock-based Compensation
On January 14, 2019, the Committee approved the issuance of performance conditioned appreciation-only long-term incentive plan units ("Performance Conditioned AO LTIP Units") pursuant to the Plan to our named executive officers ("NEOs") in our 2019 proxy statement. Performance Conditioned AO LTIP Units are AO LTIP Units that require the achievement of certain performance conditions by a specified date or they are forfeited. The performance-based condition is met if Vornado common shares trade at or above 110% of the $64.48 grant price per share for any 20 consecutive days on or before the fourth anniversary following the date of grant. If the performance conditions are not met, the awards are forfeited. If the performance conditions are met, once vested, the awards may be converted into Class A Operating Partnership units in the same manner as AO LTIP Units until ten years from the date of grant. The fair value of the Performance Conditioned AO LTIP Units on the date of grant was $8,983,000, of which $7,481,000 was immediately expensed due to the acceleration of vesting for employees who are retirement eligible. The remaining $1,502,000 is being amortized into expense over a four-year period from the date of grant using a graded vesting attribution model.
On May 16, 2019, our shareholders approved the 2019 Omnibus Share Plan (the “Plan"), which replaces the 2010 Omnibus Share Plan. Under the Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) may grant incentive and non-qualified Vornado stock options, restricted stock, restricted Operating Partnership units ("OP units"), out-performance plan awards ("OPPs"), appreciation-only long-term incentive plan units (“AO LTIP Units”) and Performance Conditioned AO LTIP Units to certain of our employees and officers. Awards may be granted up to a maximum 5,500,000 shares, if all awards granted are Full Value awards, as defined, and up to 11,000,000 shares, if all of the awards granted are Not Full Value Awards, as defined in the Plan. Full Value Awards are awards of securities, such as restricted shares, that, if all vesting requirements are met, do not require the payment of an exercise price or strike price to acquire the securities. Not Full Value Awards are awards of securities, such as options, that do require the payment of an exercise price or strike price.
We account for all equity-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. Stock-based compensation expense, a component of "general and administrative" expense on our consolidated statements of income, was $10,520,000 and $6,976,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $42,174,000 and $20,645,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 included $16,211,000 from the accelerated vesting of previously issued OP units and Vornado restricted stock due to the removal of the time-based vesting requirement to participants who have reached 65 years of age. The right to sell such awards remains subject to original terms of grant. The increase in expense in the first quarter of 2019 was partially offset by lower stock-based compensation expense of $2,578,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2019; and will be completely offset by lower stock-based compensation expense of $2,578,000 in each of the third and fourth quarters of 2019 and $8,477,000 thereafter.
Stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 also includes $5,316,000 for OP units granted outside of the Plan to an executive officer in connection with his employment in reliance on the employment inducement exception to shareholder approval provided under the New York Stock Exchange Listing Rule 303A.08, and $329,000 for OP units granted under the Plan to certain executive officers as a result of promotions. The award granted outside of the Plan has a grant date fair value of $25,500,000 and vests 20% on the grant date, 40% on the three-year anniversary of the date of grant, and 40% on the four-year anniversary of the date of grant. The awards granted under the Plan have an aggregate grant date fair value of $15,000,000 and cliff vest after four years. Compensation expense related to OP unit grants are recognized ratably over the vesting period. Additional non-cash expense associated with these awards will be $2,401,000 in each of the next two quarters, $9,603,000 in each of 2020 and 2021, $7,718,000 in 2022 and $2,655,000 in 2023.

Disputed additional Transfer Tax recorded in the first quarter 2018 related to the December 2012 acquisition of Independence Plaza. The joint venture, in which we have a 50.1% economic interest, that owns Independence Plaza recorded this expense based on the precedent established by the Tax Tribunal's decision regarding One Park Avenue (see Note 5 - Real Estate Fund Investments).
608 Fifth Avenue
During the second quarter of 2019, Arcadia Group US Ltd ("Arcadia Group"), the operator of Topshop, our retail tenant at 608 Fifth Avenue, filed for Chapter 15 bankruptcy protection in the United States. On June 28, 2019, Arcadia Group closed all of its stores in the United States. 608 Fifth Avenue is subject to a land and building lease which expires in 2033. The non-recourse lease calls for fixed lease payments through the term, plus payments for real estate taxes, insurance and operating expenses. Based on current market rental rates, the cash flows of the property would not be sufficient to cover the operating expenses, including the fixed lease payments. Consequently, we concluded that the carrying amount of the property, which includes our right-of-use asset, was not recoverable. Our estimate of fair value of the property was derived from a discounted cash flow model based upon market conditions and expectations of growth. We recognized a $93,860,000 non-cash impairment loss on our consolidated statements of income, of which $75,220,000 resulted from the impairment of our right-of-use asset. A corresponding $72,588,000 lease liability remains, which will be recognized as income if and when the non-recourse lease is terminated.

Leases
As lessor
We lease space to tenants under operating leases. Most of the leases provide for the payment of fixed base rent payable monthly in advance. Office building leases generally require tenants to reimburse us for operating costs and real estate taxes above their base year costs. Certain leases provide for pass-through to tenants for their share of real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance. Certain leases also require additional variable rent payments based on a percentage of the tenants’ sales. None of our tenants accounted for more than 10% of total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. We have elected to account for lease revenues (including base and variable rent) and the reimbursement of common area maintenance expenses as a single lease component recorded as "rental revenues" on our consolidated statements of income. As of June 30, 2019, under ASC 842, future undiscounted cash flows under non-cancelable operating leases were as follows:

20.    Leases - continued
As lessee
We have a number of ground leases which are classified as operating leases. On January 1, 2019, we recorded $526,866,000 of ROU assets and lease liabilities. Our ROU assets were reduced by $37,269,000 of accrued rent expense reclassified from “other liabilities” and $4,267,000 of acquired above-market lease liabilities, net, reclassified from “deferred revenue” and increased by $23,665,000 of acquired below-market lease assets, net, reclassified from “identified intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization” and $1,584,000 of prepaid lease payments reclassified from "other assets." As of June 30, 2019, our ROU assets and lease liabilities were $380,214,000 and $483,011,000, respectively.
The discount rate applied to measure each ROU asset and lease liability is based on our incremental borrowing rate ("IBR"). We consider the general economic environment and our credit rating and factor in various financing and asset specific adjustments to ensure the IBR is appropriate to the intended use of the underlying lease. As we did not elect to apply hindsight, lease term assumptions determined under ASC 840 were carried forward and applied in calculating the lease liabilities recorded under ASC 842. Certain of our ground leases offer renewal options which we assess against relevant economic factors to determine whether we are reasonably certain of exercising or not exercising the option. Lease payments associated with renewal periods that we are reasonably certain will be exercised are included in the measurement of the corresponding lease liability and ROU asset.
The following table sets forth information related to the measurement of our lease liabilities as of June 30, 2019:

Certain of our ground leases are subject to fair market rent resets based on a percentage of the appraised value of the underlying assets at specified future dates. Fair market rent resets do not give rise to remeasurement of the related right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Fair market rent resets, which may be material, will be recognized in the periods in which they are incurred.
Farley Office and Retail Building
The future lease payments detailed previously exclude the ground and building lease at the Farley Office and Retail Building (the "Project"). We have a 95.0% ownership interest in a joint venture with the Related Companies ("Related") which was designated by Empire State Development ("ESD"), an entity of New York State, to develop the Project. The Project will include a new Moynihan Train Hall and approximately 845,000 rentable square feet of commercial space, comprised of approximately 725,000 square feet of office space and approximately 120,000 square feet of retail space. The joint venture has a 99-year triple-net lease with ESD for the commercial space at the Project. The lease has not yet commenced since construction of the Project is ongoing.
The joint venture has entered into a development agreement with ESD to build the adjacent Moynihan Train Hall, with Vornado and Related each guaranteeing the joint venture's obligations. The joint venture has entered into a design-build contract with Skanska Moynihan Train Hall Builders pursuant to which they will build the Moynihan Train Hall, thereby fulfilling all of the joint venture's obligations to ESD. The obligations of Skanska Moynihan Train Hall Builders have been bonded by Skanska USA and bear a full guaranty from Skanska AB. As a result of our involvement in the construction of the asset, we have been deemed the accounting owner of the property in accordance with ASC 842-40-55. Future undiscounted cash flows for the lease, including fixed payments in lieu of real estate taxes, as of June 30, 2019 were as follows:

Commitments and Contingencies
Insurance
We maintain general liability insurance with limits of $300,000,000 per occurrence and per property, and all risk property and rental value insurance with limits of $2.0 billion per occurrence, with sub-limits for certain perils such as flood and earthquake. Our California properties have earthquake insurance with coverage of $350,000,000 per occurrence and in the aggregate, subject to a deductible in the amount of 5% of the value of the affected property. We maintain coverage for terrorism acts with limits of $4.0 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate, and $2.0 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate for terrorism involving nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) terrorism events, as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015, which expires in December 2020.
Penn Plaza Insurance Company, LLC (“PPIC”), our wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, acts as a re-insurer with respect to a portion of all risk property and rental value insurance and a portion of our earthquake insurance coverage, and as a direct insurer for coverage for acts of terrorism including NBCR acts. Coverage for acts of terrorism (excluding NBCR acts) is fully reinsured by third-party insurance companies and the Federal government with no exposure to PPIC. For NBCR acts, PPIC is responsible for a deductible of $1,453,000 and 19% of the balance of a covered loss and the Federal government is responsible for the remaining portion of a covered loss. We are ultimately responsible for any loss incurred by PPIC.
We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and cost of coverage for acts of terrorism. However, we cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future. We are responsible for deductibles and losses in excess of our insurance coverage, which could be material.
Our debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties, senior unsecured notes and revolving credit agreements, contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance. Although we believe that we have adequate insurance coverage for purposes of these agreements, we may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at a reasonable cost in the future. Further, if lenders insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain, it could adversely affect our ability to finance or refinance our properties and expand our portfolio.

Commitments and Contingencies - continued
Other Commitments and Contingencies
We are from time to time involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters is not currently expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Each of our 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, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant cost to us.
Our mortgage loans are non-recourse to us, except for the mortgage loans secured by 640 Fifth Avenue, 7 West 34th Street and 435 Seventh Avenue, which we guaranteed and therefore are part of our tax basis. In certain cases, we have provided guarantees or master leased tenant space. These guarantees and master leases terminate either upon the satisfaction of specified circumstances or repayment of the underlying loans. As of June 30, 2019, the aggregate dollar amount of these guarantees and master leases is approximately $1,031,000,000.
As of June 30, 2019, $15,880,000 of letters of credit was outstanding under one of our unsecured revolving credit facilities. Our unsecured revolving credit facilities contain financial covenants that require us to maintain minimum interest rate coverage and maximum debt to market capitalization ratios and provide for higher interest rates in the event of a decline in our ratings below Baa3/BBB. Our unsecured revolving credit facilities contain customary conditions precedent to borrowing, including representations and warranties, and also contain customary events of default that could give rise to accelerated repayment, including such items as failure to pay interest or principal.
A joint venture in which we own a 95.0% ownership interest was designated by ESD, an entity of New York State, to develop the Farley Office and Retail Building. The joint venture entered into a development agreement with ESD and a design-build contract with Skanska Moynihan Train Hall Builders. Under the development agreement with ESD, the joint venture is obligated to build the Moynihan Train Hall, with Vornado and Related each guaranteeing the joint venture’s obligations. Under the design-build agreement, Skanska Moynihan Train Hall Builders is obligated to fulfill all of the joint venture’s obligations. The obligations of Skanska Moynihan Train Hall Builders have been bonded by Skanska USA and bear a full guaranty from Skanska AB.
As of June 30, 2019, we expect to fund additional capital to certain of our partially owned entities aggregating approximately $15,400,000.
As of June 30, 2019, we have construction commitments aggregating approximately $730,000,000.

Segment Information
We operate in the following reportable segments, New York and Other, which is based on how we manage our business.
Net Operating Income (“NOI”) represents total revenues less operating expenses. We consider NOI to be the primary non-GAAP financial measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on NOI, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. NOI should not be considered a substitute for net income. NOI may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of Vornado Realty Trust
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2019, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, and changes in equity for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and cash flows, for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2018, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended; and in our report dated February 11, 2019, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report constitute forward‑looking statements as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They represent our intentions, plans, expectations and beliefs and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Our future results, financial condition and business may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “would,” “may” or other similar expressions in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q. We also note the following forward-looking statements: in the case of our development and redevelopment projects, the estimated completion date, estimated project cost and cost to complete; and estimates of future capital expenditures, dividends to common and preferred shareholders and operating partnership distributions. Many of the factors that will determine the outcome of these and our other forward-looking statements are beyond our ability to control or predict. For further discussion of factors that could materially affect the outcome of our forward-looking statements, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or the date of any document incorporated by reference. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes a discussion of our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 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. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year presentation.

Overview

Vornado Realty Trust (“Vornado”) is a fully-integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and conducts its business through, and substantially all of its interests in properties are held by, Vornado Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). Vornado is the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 93.1% of the common limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 2019. All references to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean, collectively, Vornado, the Operating Partnership and those entities/subsidiaries consolidated by Vornado.
We compete with a large number of real estate property owners and developers, some of which may be willing to accept lower returns on their investments. Principal factors of competition are rents charged, sales prices, attractiveness of location, the quality of the property and the breadth and the quality of services provided. Our success depends upon, among other factors, trends of the global, national, regional and local economies, the financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants and customers, availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation, population and employment trends. See “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for additional information regarding these factors.
Vornado Realty Trust
Quarter Ended June 30, 2019 Financial Results Summary
Net income attributable to common shareholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 was $2,400,195,000, or $12.56 per diluted share, compared to $111,534,000, or $0.58 per diluted share, for the prior year’s quarter. The quarters ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 include certain items that impact the comparability of period to period net income attributable to common shareholders, which are listed in the table on page 58. The aggregate of these items, net of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, increased net income attributable to common shareholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 by $2,357,643,000, or $12.34 per diluted share, and increased net income attributable to common shareholders by $42,775,000, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.
The increase in net income attributable to common shareholders was partially offset by $8,387,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, of our share of the non-cash write-off of straight-line rent receivables and $5,645,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, of non-cash expense for the time-based equity compensation granted in connection with our previously announced new leadership group.
Funds From Operations (“FFO”) attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 was $164,329,000, or $0.86 per diluted share, compared to $194,653,000, or $1.02 per diluted share, for the prior year’s quarter. FFO attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions for the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 include certain items that impact the comparability of period to period FFO, which are listed in the table on page 59. The aggregate of these items, net of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, decreased FFO attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 by $9,446,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, and increased FFO attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions by $8,248,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.
The decrease in FFO attributable to common shareholders was partially due to $8,387,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, of our share of the non-cash write-off of straight-line rent receivables and $5,645,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, of non-cash expense for the time-based equity compensation granted in connection with our previously announced new leadership group.

On March 1, 2019, we sold all of our 18,468,969 common shares of Lexington, realizing net proceeds of $167,698,000. We recorded a $16,068,000 mark-to-market increase in the fair value of our common shares for the period from January 1, 2019 through the date of sale, which is included in "interest and other investment income, net" on our consolidated statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

.
Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV
On April 18, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into a transaction agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) with a group of institutional investors (the “Investors”). The Transaction Agreement provides for a series of transactions (collectively, the “Transaction”) pursuant to which (i) prior to the Closing Date, we contributed our interests in properties located at 640 Fifth Avenue, 655 Fifth Avenue, 666 Fifth Avenue, 689 Fifth Avenue, 697-703 Fifth Avenue, 1535 Broadway and 1540 Broadway (collectively, the “Properties”) to subsidiaries of a newly formed joint venture (“Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV”) and (ii) on the Closing Date, transferred a 48.5% common interest in Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV to the Investors. The 48.5% common interest in the joint venture represents an effective 47.2% interest in the Properties (of which 45.4% was transferred from Vornado). The Properties include approximately 489,000 square feet of retail space, 327,000 square feet of office space, signage associated with 1535 and 1540 Broadway, the parking garage at 1540 Broadway and the theatre at 1535 Broadway.
We retained the remaining 51.5% common interest in Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV which represents an effective 51.0% interest in the Properties and an aggregate $1.828 billion of preferred equity interests in certain of the properties. We also provided $500,000,000 of temporary preferred equity on 640 Fifth Avenue until May 23, 2019 when mortgage financing was completed. All of the preferred equity has an annual coupon of 4.25% for the first five years, increasing to 4.75% for the next five years and thereafter at a formulaic rate. It can be redeemed under certain conditions on a tax deferred basis.
Net cash proceeds from the Transaction were $1.186 billion, after (i) deductions for the defeasance of a $390,000,000 mortgage loan on 666 Fifth Avenue and the repayment of a $140,000,000 mortgage loan on 655 Fifth Avenue, (ii) proceeds from a $500,000,000 mortgage loan on 640 Fifth Avenue, described below, (iii) approximately $23,000,000 used to purchase noncontrolling investors' interests and (iv) approximately $53,000,000 of transaction costs (including $17,000,000 of costs related to the defeasance of the 666 Fifth Avenue mortgage loan).
We continue to manage and lease the Properties. We share control with the Investors over major decisions of the joint venture, including decisions regarding leasing, operating and capital budgets, and refinancings. Accordingly, we no longer hold a controlling financial interest in the Properties which has been transferred to the joint venture. As a result, our investment in Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV is accounted for under the equity method from the date of transfer. The Transaction valued the Properties at $5,556,000,000 resulting in a financial statement net gain of $2,571,099,000, before noncontrolling interest of $11,945,000, including the related step-up in our basis of the retained portion of the assets to fair value. The net gain is included in "net gain on transfer to Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV" on our consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The gain for tax purposes was approximately $735,000,000.
On May 23, 2019, we received $500,000,000 from the redemption of our preferred equity in 640 Fifth Avenue. The preferred equity was redeemed from the proceeds of a $500,000,000 mortgage financing that was completed on the property. The five year loan, which is guaranteed by us, is interest only at LIBOR plus 1.01%. The interest rate was swapped for four years to a fixed rate of 3.07%.

330 Madison Avenue
On July 11, 2019, we sold our 25% interest in 330 Madison Avenue to our joint venture partner. We received net proceeds of approximately $100,000,000 after deducting our share of the existing $500,000,000 mortgage loan. The third quarter financial statement gain will be approximately $159,000,000. The tax gain will be approximately $138,000,000.

Financings
On January 28, 2019, a joint venture, in which we have a 45.1% interest, completed a $167,500,000 refinancing of 61 Ninth Avenue, a 166,000 square foot office and retail property in the Meatpacking district of Manhattan which is fully leased to Aetna and Starbucks. The seven-year interest only loan carries a rate of LIBOR plus 1.35% (3.77% as of June 30, 2019) and matures in January 2026. We realized net proceeds of approximately $31,000,000. The loan replaces the previous $90,000,000 construction loan that bore interest at LIBOR plus 3.05% and was scheduled to mature in 2021.

On February 4, 2019, we completed a $95,700,000 refinancing of 435 Seventh Avenue, a 43,000 square foot Manhattan retail property. The interest-only loan carries a rate of LIBOR plus 1.30% (3.73% as of June 30, 2019) and matures in 2024. The recourse loan replaces the previous $95,700,000 loan that bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% and was scheduled to mature in August 2019.
On February 12, 2019, we completed a $580,000,000 refinancing of 100 West 33rd Street, a 1.1 million square foot Manhattan property comprised of 859,000 square feet of office space and the 256,000 square foot Manhattan Mall. The interest-only loan carries a rate of LIBOR plus 1.55% (3.98% as of June 30, 2019) and matures in April 2024, with two one-year extension options. The loan replaces the previous $580,000,000 loan that bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.65% and was scheduled to mature in July 2020.
On March 1, 2019, we called for redemption all of our $400,000,000 5.00% senior unsecured notes. The notes, which were scheduled to mature in January 2022, were redeemed on April 1, 2019 at a redemption price of 105.51% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. In connection therewith, we expensed $22,540,000 relating to debt prepayment costs which is included in "interest and debt expense" on our consolidated statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
On March 26, 2019, we increased to $1.5 billion (from $1.25 billion) and extended to March 2024 (as fully extended) from February 2022 one of our two unsecured revolving credit facilities. The interest rate on the extended facility was lowered from LIBOR plus 1.00% to LIBOR plus 0.90%. The facility fee remains unchanged at 20 basis points.
On May 24, 2019, we extended our $375,000,000 mortgage loan on 888 Seventh Avenue, a 886,000 square foot Manhattan office building, from December 2020 to December 2025. The interest rate on the extended mortgage loan is LIBOR plus 1.70% (4.11% as of June 30, 2019). Pursuant to an existing swap agreement, the interest rate on the $375,000,000 mortgage loan has been swapped to 3.25% through December 2020.
On June 28, 2019, a joint venture, in which we have a 55% interest, completed a $145,700,000 refinancing of 512 West 22nd Street, a 173,000 square foot office building in the West Chelsea submarket of Manhattan. The four-year interest only loan carries a rate of LIBOR plus 2.00% (4.40% as of June 30, 2019) and matures in June 2023 with a one-year extension option. The loan replaces the previous $126,000,000 construction loan that bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.65% and was scheduled to mature in 2019.

Net Operating Income At Share by Segment for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018
NOI represents total revenues less operating expenses. We consider NOI to be the primary non-GAAP financial measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on NOI, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. NOI should not be considered a substitute for net income. NOI may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Same Store Net Operating Income At Share
Same store NOI at share represents NOI at share from property operations which are owned by us and in service in both the current and prior year reporting periods. Same store NOI at share - cash basis is NOI at share from operations before straight-line rental income and expense, amortization of acquired below and above market leases, net and other non-cash adjustments which are owned by us and in service in both the current and prior year reporting periods. We present these non-GAAP measures to (i) facilitate meaningful comparisons of the operational performance of our properties and segments, (ii) make decisions on whether to buy, sell or refinance properties, and (iii) compare the performance of our properties and segments to those of our peers. Same store NOI at share and same store NOI at share - cash basis should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Net Operating Income At Share by Segment for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018
NOI represents total revenues less operating expenses. We consider NOI to be the primary non-GAAP financial measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on NOI, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. NOI should not be considered a substitute for net income. NOI may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

Net Operating Income At Share by Segment for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019
NOI represents total revenues less operating expenses. We consider NOI to be the primary non-GAAP financial measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on NOI, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. NOI should not be considered a substitute for net income. NOI may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
Below is a summary of NOI at share and NOI at share - cash basis by segment for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Rental revenue is our primary source of cash flow and is dependent upon the occupancy and rental rates of our properties. Our cash requirements include property operating expenses, capital improvements, tenant improvements, debt service, leasing commissions, dividends to shareholders and distributions to unitholders of the Operating Partnership, as well as acquisition and development costs. Other sources of liquidity to fund cash requirements include proceeds from debt financings, including mortgage loans, senior unsecured borrowings, unsecured term loans and unsecured revolving credit facilities; proceeds from the issuance of common and preferred equity; and asset sales.
We anticipate that cash flow from continuing operations over the next twelve months will be adequate to fund our business operations, cash distributions to unitholders of the Operating Partnership, cash dividends to shareholders, debt amortization and recurring capital expenditures. Capital requirements for development expenditures and acquisitions may require funding from borrowings and/or equity offerings.
We expect to generate net cash of approximately $2 billion resulting from the sales of 100% of the 220 CPS condominium units, including $1 billion of after-tax net gain, of which $287,211,000 was recognized in our consolidated statements of income from inception to June 30, 2019.
We may from time to time purchase or retire outstanding debt securities or redeem our equity securities. Such purchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements and other factors. The amounts involved in connection with these transactions could be material to our consolidated financial statements.
Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018

Development and Redevelopment Expenditures for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
Development and redevelopment expenditures consist of all hard and soft costs associated with the development or redevelopment of a property, including capitalized interest, debt and operating costs until the property is substantially completed and ready for its intended use. Our development project estimates below include initial leasing costs, which are reflected as non-recurring capital expenditures in the table on the previous page.
We are constructing a residential condominium tower containing 397,000 salable square feet at 220 CPS. The development cost of this project (exclusive of land cost of $515.4 million) is estimated to be approximately $1.4 billion, of which $1.3 billion has been expended as of June 30, 2019.
We are redeveloping a 78,000 square foot Class A office building at 345 Montgomery Street, a part of our 555 California Street complex in San Francisco (70.0% interest) located at the corner of California and Pine Street. The development cost of this project is estimated to be approximately $46,000,000, of which our share is $32,000,000. As of June 30, 2019, $31,235,000 has been expended, of which our share is $21,865,000.
We are redeveloping a 165,000 square foot office building at 825 Seventh Avenue, located at the corner of 53rd Street and Seventh Avenue (50.0% interest). The redevelopment cost of this project is estimated to be approximately $30,000,000, of which our share is $15,000,000. As of June 30, 2019, $19,051,000 has been expended, of which our share is $9,526,000.
We are redeveloping PENN1, a 2,543,000 square foot office building located on 34th Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenue. The development cost of this project is estimated to be $325,000,000, of which $48,832,000 has been expended as of June 30, 2019.
We are redeveloping PENN2, a 1,795,000 square foot office building located on the west side of 7th Avenue between 31st and 33rd Street. The development cost of this project is estimated to be $750,000,000, of which $26,713,000 has been expended as of June 30, 2019.
Farley Office and Retail Building and Moynihan Train Hall
Our 95.0% joint venture (the remaining 5.0% is owned by the Related Companies ("Related")) is developing the Farley Office and Retail Building (the "Project"), which will include approximately 845,000 rentable square feet of commercial space, comprised of approximately 725,000 square feet of office space and approximately 120,000 square feet of retail space. The total development cost of the Project is estimated to be approximately $1,030,000,000 (inclusive of $230,000,000 upfront contribution and net of anticipated historic tax credits). As of June 30, 2019, $438,581,000 has been expended.
The joint venture has entered into a development agreement with Empire State Development (“ESD”), an entity of New York State, to build the adjacent Moynihan Train Hall, with Vornado and Related each guaranteeing the joint venture's obligations. The joint venture has entered into a design-build contract with Skanska Moynihan Train Hall Builders pursuant to which they will build the Moynihan Train Hall, thereby fulfilling all of the joint venture's obligations to ESD. The obligations of Skanska Moynihan Train Hall Builders have been bonded by Skanska USA and bear a full guaranty from Skanska AB. The development expenditures for the Moynihan Train Hall are estimated to be approximately $1.6 billion, which will be funded by governmental agencies. Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification 842-40-55, the joint venture, which we consolidate on our consolidated balance sheets, is required to recognize all development expenditures for the Moynihan Train Hall. Accordingly, the development expenditures paid for by governmental agencies through June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 of $665,226,000 and $445,693,000, respectively, are shown as “Moynihan Train Hall development expenditures” with a corresponding obligation recorded in “Moynihan Train Hall obligation” on our consolidated balance sheets. Upon completion of the development, the "Moynihan Train Hall development expenditures" and the offsetting “Moynihan Train Hall obligation” will be removed from our consolidated balance sheets.


We are also evaluating other development and redevelopment opportunities at certain of our properties in Manhattan, including, in particular, the Penn District.
There can be no assurance that the above projects will be completed, completed on schedule or within budget.

Other Commitments and Contingencies
We are from time to time involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters is not currently expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Each of our 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, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant cost to us.
Our mortgage loans are non-recourse to us, except for the mortgage loans secured by 640 Fifth Avenue, 7 West 34th Street and 435 Seventh Avenue, which we guaranteed and therefore are part of our tax basis. In certain cases, we have provided guarantees or master leased tenant space. These guarantees and master leases terminate either upon the satisfaction of specified circumstances or repayment of the underlying loans. As of June 30, 2019, the aggregate dollar amount of these guarantees and master leases is approximately $1,031,000,000.
As of June 30, 2019, $15,880,000 of letters of credit was outstanding under one of our unsecured revolving credit facilities. Our unsecured revolving credit facilities contain financial covenants that require us to maintain minimum interest rate coverage and maximum debt to market capitalization ratios and provide for higher interest rates in the event of a decline in our ratings below Baa3/BBB. Our unsecured revolving credit facilities contain customary conditions precedent to borrowing, including representations and warranties, and also contain customary events of default that could give rise to accelerated repayment, including such items as failure to pay interest or principal.
A joint venture in which we own a 95.0% ownership interest was designated by ESD, an entity of New York State, to develop the Farley Office and Retail Building. The joint venture entered into a development agreement with ESD and a design-build contract with Skanska Moynihan Train Hall Builders. Under the development agreement with ESD, the joint venture is obligated to build the Moynihan Train Hall, with Vornado and Related each guaranteeing the joint venture’s obligations. Under the design-build agreement, Skanska Moynihan Train Hall Builders is obligated to fulfill all of the joint venture’s obligations. The obligations of Skanska Moynihan Train Hall Builders have been bonded by Skanska USA and bear a full guaranty from Skanska AB.
As of June 30, 2019, we expect to fund additional capital to certain of our partially owned entities aggregating approximately $15,400,000.
As of June 30, 2019, we have construction commitments aggregating approximately $730,000,000.

Funds From Operations (“FFO”)

Vornado Realty Trust
FFO is computed in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude net gains from sales of depreciable real estate assets, real estate impairment losses, depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets and other specified items, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries. FFO and FFO per diluted share are non-GAAP financial measures used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a performance measure or cash flow as a liquidity measure. FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. The calculations of both the numerator and denominator used in the computation of income per share are disclosed in Note 19Income Per Share/Income Per Class A Unit, in our consolidated financial statements on page 44 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
In accordance with the NAREIT December 2018 restated definition of FFO, we have elected to exclude the mark-to-market adjustments of marketable equity securities from the calculation of FFO. FFO for the three months ended June 30, 2018 has been adjusted to exclude the $16,024,000, or $0.08 per share, increase in fair value of marketable equity securities previously reported. FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2018 has been adjusted to exclude the $18,636,000, or $0.09 per share, decrease in fair value of marketable equity securities previously reported.
FFO attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions was $164,329,000, or $0.86 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $194,653,000, or $1.02 per diluted share, for the prior year’s three months. FFO attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions was $412,013,000, or $2.16 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $329,653,000, or $1.72 per diluted share, for the prior year’s six months. Details of certain adjustments to FFO are discussed in the financial results summary of our “Overview”.

____________________
(1) As a result of Toys “R” Us (“Toys”) filing a voluntary petition under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, we determined the Company no longer has the ability to exercise significant influence over Toys. Accordingly, we have excluded our share of Toys debt in 2018. The voluntary petition was declared effective in 2019 and our stock was canceled. As a result, we no longer hold an investment in Toys.
(2)
Our pro rata share of debt of non-consolidated entities as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is net of our $63,409 share of Alexander's participation in its Rego Park II shopping center mortgage loan which is considered partially extinguished as the participation interest is a reacquisition of debt.

We may utilize various financial instruments to mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on our cash flows and earnings, including hedging strategies, depending on our analysis of the interest rate environment and the costs and risks of such strategies. As of June 30, 2019, we have an interest rate swap on a $375,000,000 mortgage loan on 888 Seventh Avenue that swapped the rate from LIBOR plus 1.70% (4.11% as of June 30, 2019) to a fixed rate of 3.25% through December 2020; an interest rate swap on a $700,000,000 mortgage loan on 770 Broadway that swapped the rate from LIBOR plus 1.75% (4.17% as of June 30, 2019) to a fixed rate of 2.56% through September 2020; an interest rate swap on a $100,000,000 mortgage loan on 33-00 Northern Boulevard that swapped the rate from LIBOR plus 1.80% (4.22% as of June 30, 2019) to a fixed rate of 4.14% through January 2025; and an interest rate swap on our $750,000,000 unsecured term loan that swapped the rate from LIBOR plus 1.00% (3.40% as of June 30, 2019) to a fixed rate of 3.87% through October 2023.
Fair Value of Debt
The estimated fair value of our consolidated debt is calculated based on current market prices and 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. As of June 30, 2019, the estimated fair value of our consolidated debt was $7,625,000,000.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
CONTRIBUTION, PURCHASE AND SALE
Section 1.1    Agreement of Contribution, Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, (i) Investor agrees to make the Investor Initial Contribution, and the Partnership agrees to accept the Investor Initial Contribution, and (ii) VRLP agrees to sell and convey to Investor, and Investor agrees to purchase from VRLP, all of VRLP’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Interest.
Section 1.2    Consideration.
(a)    (1) The Investor Initial Contribution shall be Eight Hundred Forty-Two Million Four Hundred Forty-Four Thousand Five Hundred Twenty-Four and 00/100 Dollars ($842,444,524.00) and (1) the purchase price for the Purchased Interest (the “Purchase Price” and, together with the Investor Initial Contribution, the “Consideration”) shall be Four Hundred Sixty-Seven Million Seven Hundred Forty-Eight Thousand Eight Hundred Thirteen and 13/100 Dollars ($467,748,813.33).
(b)    Payment. The Consideration shall be paid by Investor as follows:
(i)    Prior to the execution and delivery hereof, Investor has delivered to Chicago Title Insurance Company (the “Escrow Agent”) the sum of One Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($100,000,000.00) (such sum, together with all interest earned thereon, the “Deposit”), in immediately available funds by a wire transfer to an escrow account established pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
(ii)    At Closing, interest on the Deposit shall be paid to VRLP and credited against the Purchase Price payable by Investor.
(iii)    On or before the Closing Date, Investor shall deposit with Escrow Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds made in accordance with the wiring instructions set forth on Exhibit D, an amount (such amount, the “Balance of the Consideration”) equal to the sum of:
(x)
the Consideration, as adjusted for the prorations and credits as provided for in this Agreement, minus
(y)
the Deposit (including any interest accrued thereon).
(c)    Return of Deposit. Investor hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Investor shall not be entitled to any refund of the Deposit for any reason.
-2-

    



(d)    Withholding. Investor shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payments made pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of any such payment under any applicable Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, and paid to the proper taxing authority pursuant to any applicable Tax law, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Investor agrees not to withhold any amounts to the extent that VRLP complies with its obligations under Section 4.3 of this agreement.
Section 1.3    Credits and Prorations.
(a)    Cash and Reserves; Liabilities. In addition to the Purchase Price, VRLP shall receive a credit at Closing in an amount equal to the Investor’s Percentage of the aggregate amount of all cash and cash equivalents held by the Partnership Group (other than security deposits held by the Partnership Group). At Closing, Investor shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of $1,440,450.00.
(b)    Closing Costs. Each party shall pay its own legal fees related to the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and all documents required to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby. VRLP shall pay (x) all costs and recording fees associated with VRLP’s cure or removal of any title exceptions that VRLP elects or is obligated to cure or remove and (y) any real estate transfer taxes and similar amounts owed to the City of New York and the State of New York (including as a result of the Closing Date Subsidiary Transactions, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other transfers of the Properties or any member of the Partnership Group, directly or indirectly, prior to the date hereof). Investor shall pay (i) all costs associated with its due diligence, including the cost of architectural, engineering, environmental and other third party due diligence reports, (ii) all sales and use taxes, if any, applicable to the sale of the Investor Interests, (iii) except as provided in clause (x) above, all amounts payable to the Title Company (other than in its capacity as Escrow Agent), including all premiums for any title insurance policy and endorsements thereto and all costs and fees for title examination, title insurance and related Title Company charges associated with the issuance of any title commitment or policy and (iv) all costs for obtaining any survey or any update thereto. VRLP and Investor shall each pay one-half of all reasonable escrow charges, if any, of Escrow Agent related to the Deposit and the Closing. All other customary purchase and sale closing costs shall be paid by VRLP or Investor in accordance with the custom in the City of New York.
(c)    Certain Contracts. Whether paid or payable prior to or after Closing, VRLP shall be responsible for 100% of (i) all costs relating to the construction work described on Schedule 1.3(c)-1 and (ii) to the extent the applicable Property Owner is responsible for curing such violation (or any costs, expenses or fees related thereto), all costs or expenses related to curing the violation set forth on Schedule 1.3(c)-2 (including any fees, penalties and the cost of any construction work related to curing the violation) and, in each case, VRLP shall not be entitled to any credit for such amounts described in this Section 1.3(c).
(d)    640 Fifth Avenue Mortgage Financing. At Closing, (A) Investor shall contribute to the Partnership an additional amount equal to Investor’s Percentage of the
-3-

    



estimated closing costs set forth on the Closing Statement (the “Estimated 640 Closing Costs”) for the anticipated financing of 640 Fifth Avenue and (B) VRLP shall contribute to the Partnership an amount equal to VRLP’s Percentage of the Estimated 640 Closing Costs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) any yield maintenance premium, defeasance premium (i.e., the cost of defeasance securities in excess of principal balance of the loan defeased) or other prepayment premium incurred in connection with the repayment or defeasance of Existing Indebtedness on or prior to the Closing Date and all other costs and expenses (including legal fees) incurred by the Partnership Group with respect to such repayment or defeasance and (ii) and any costs or expenses (including attorney fees) relating to the issuance of any preferred equity investments by VRLP or its Affiliates in any Subsidiary or any affiliate debt (collectively, the “Financing Costs”), in each case, shall be paid by VRLP and shall not be borne by Investor.
(e)    Prorations. The following shall be prorated between VRLP and Investor as of 11:59 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the day of Closing (the “Cut-Off Time”) on the basis of the actual number of days of the month which shall have elapsed as of the Closing Date and based upon the actual number of days in the month or year, as applicable:
(i)    Real Estate Taxes. Real estate Taxes and personal property Taxes on the Property (“Property Taxes”) shall be prorated based upon the payment period (i.e., calendar or other tax fiscal year) to which same are attributable, regardless of whether or not any such Property Taxes are then due and payable or are a lien. VRLP shall cause the Partnership Group to pay at or prior to Closing any unpaid Property Taxes attributable to periods prior to the date of Closing that are then due and payable. VRLP shall receive credit in an amount equal to the Investor’s Percentage of any previously paid or prepaid Property Taxes attributable to periods from and after the date of Closing. VRLP shall be entitled to one hundred percent (100%) of any and all tax refunds relating to Property Taxes payable in respect of the period before the Closing, regardless of when the refunds are received; provided, however, that if any such refund creates an obligation to reimburse any tenants for any rents paid or to be paid, that portion of such refund equal to the amount of such required reimbursement shall be paid by the Partnership Group directly to the tenants entitled thereto and VRLP shall not be entitled to such amounts. In the event that as of the date Closing occurs the actual tax bills for the tax year or years in question are not available and the amount of Property Taxes to be prorated as aforesaid cannot be ascertained, then rates, millages and assessed valuation of the previous year, with known changes and taking into account all applicable discounts for early payment, shall be used for purposes of the proration at Closing. If the proration at Closing is based on the Property Taxes for the previous year as described above, the parties agree to re-prorate the applicable Property Taxes for the year of Closing based on the actual Property Taxes (with maximum discount) once the bills are available.
VRLP shall have the right to continue to prosecute and/or settle any pending tax reduction proceedings in respect of any of the Properties (or any portion thereof); provided, however, that VRLP shall not settle any such proceeding without Investor’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,


-4-

    



conditioned or delayed. Any refunds or savings in the payment of Property Taxes resulting from such tax reduction proceedings applicable to the period prior to the date of the Closing shall belong to and be the property of VRLP, and any refunds or savings in the payment of Property Taxes applicable to the period from and after the date of the Closing shall belong to and be the property of the Partnership. All attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in obtaining such refunds or savings shall be apportioned between VRLP and the Partnership in proportion to the gross amount of such refunds or savings payable to VRLP and the Partnership, respectively.
(ii)    Rent.
(A)    Fixed rents and Additional Rents under Leases in respect of Current Month (as defined below) shall be prorated on a per diem basis based upon the number of days in the month in which Closing occurs (the “Current Month”) prior to the Closing Date (which shall be allocated to VRLP) and the number of days in the Current Month on and after the Closing Date (which shall be allocated to the Partnership).
(B)    If, at the Closing, any fixed rents or Additional Rents are past due by any tenant at a Property, there shall be no adjustment between the parties at the Closing with respect to such items, provided that payments in respect thereof received after the closing by VRLP, Investor or the Partnership Group from such tenant shall be received and held by such party in trust, and shall be disbursed as follows:
(i)    First, on account of fixed rent and Additional Rent in respect of the month in which such amounts are collected, to be apportioned in accordance with subsection (A) above, (x) if such month is the Current Month, to VRLP and the Partnership prorated based on the number of days in the current month prior to the Closing Date or (y) if such month is after the Current Month, the Partnership, as applicable;
(ii)    Second, without duplication of amounts applied pursuant to clause (i), on account of fixed rent and Additional Rent in respect of the Current Month, to be apportioned between VRLP and the Partnership in accordance with subsection (A), above;
(iii)    Third, to the Partnership, in an amount equal to all fixed rent and Additional Rent in respect of all periods after the Current Month; and
(iv)    Fourth, to VRLP, in an amount equal to all fixed rent and Additional Rent in respect of all periods prior to the Current Month.
Each party agrees to remit reasonably promptly to the other the amount of such rents to which such party is so entitled and to account to the other party monthly in respect of same.
-5-

    



(C)    The parties shall cause the Partnership to prepare and provide to the tenants under the Leases a statement of the reconciliation of expenses between the landlord and the tenants under the Leases in accordance with the terms of the Leases with respect to the year in which Closing occurs. If the Closing shall occur prior to the time when any particular item constituting Additional Rent for the applicable accounting period is payable, then such Additional Rent shall be apportioned after the Closing. VRLP and the Partnership shall each be entitled to a prorated amount of such Additional Rent (net of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in the collection thereof) based upon the portion of such accounting period which occurs prior to and after the Closing. In addition, without duplication of any amounts prorated under this Section 1.3(e)(ii), the parties shall cause the Property Owners to pay VRLP any Additional Rent payable subsequent to the Closing with respect to an accounting period which expired prior to the Closing. VRLP shall furnish to the Property Owners all information with respect to the period prior to the Closing reasonably necessary for the billing of such Additional Rent (including any required certificates and audited statements required to be delivered under the Leases with respect to periods accruing prior to the Closing). If, prior to the Closing, the Partnership Group shall collect any sums on account of Additional Rent or fixed rent for a year or other period, or any portion of such year or other period, beginning before but ending after the Closing, such sum shall be apportioned at the Closing as of the date of the Closing.
(D)    Additional Rent payable by tenants based on an estimated amount and subject to adjustment or reconciliation pursuant to the related Leases subsequent to the Closing shall be re-apportioned as and when the related tenant’s actual obligation for such Additional Rent is reconciled pursuant to the related Lease. Percentage rents shall be apportioned between VRLP and Investor on an annual basis, i.e., on a per diem basis based upon the number of days in the calendar year (or other applicable Lease year, if not a calendar year) prior to the Closing Date (which shall be allocated to VRLP) and the number of days in the calendar year (or other applicable Lease year, if not a calendar year) on and after the Closing Date (which shall be allocated to the Partnership).
(E)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rents and other payments for historical signage use set forth on Schedule 1.3(e)(ii)(E) shall be solely for the account of VRLP and shall be paid over to VRLP promptly upon receipt.
(iii)    Tenant Inducement Costs and Leasing Commissions. The Partnership shall be responsible for the payment of all Tenant Inducement Costs and Leasing Commissions which become due and payable (whether before or after Closing) as a result of any Leases set forth on Schedule 1.3(e)(iii)(A) (the “New Leases”), or any Lease renewals, amendments or expansions (whether or not entered into pursuant to an option), arising as a result of any New Leases and (B) all Tenant Inducement Costs and Leasing Commissions with respect to Existing Leases set forth on Schedule 1.3(e)(iii)(B) (the “Partnership Leasing Costs”). With respect to Tenant Inducement Costs and Leasing Commissions as a result of Leases existing as of the date hereof other than Partnership Leasing Costs pursuant to New Leases, but including those described on Schedule 1.3(e)(iii), to the extent the same are unpaid as of Closing by
-6-

    



VRLP or the Partnership Group, Investor shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of the Investor’s Percentage of such Tenant Inducement Costs and Leasing Commissions, and the Partnership shall be responsible for the payment of the same as and when due.
(iv)    Contracts. With respect to the Contracts, (A) the Purchase Price shall be increased by Investor’s Percentage of sums prepaid by the Partnership Group under the Contracts to the extent such payments relate to periods from and after the Closing Date, and (B) Investor shall be credited for Investor’s Percentage of any amounts which as of Closing are due or accrued and relate to the period prior to Closing.
(v)    Utilities. If any electricity, telephone, television, gas, water and sewer services and other utilities are metered, VRLP shall use reasonable efforts to have the respective companies providing such utilities read the meters at or immediately prior to the Cut-Off Time. VRLP shall be responsible for all charges based on such final meter readings. If such readings are not obtained (and if such readings are obtained, then with respect to any period between such reading and the Closing Date), fees related to electricity, telephone, television, gas, water and sewer services and other utilities, if any, shall be apportioned based upon the last meter readings, subject to reapportionment when readings for the relevant period are obtained after the Closing Date.
(vi)    Condominium Charges. With respect to the Condominium Documents, (A) the Purchase Price shall be increased by Investor’s Percentage of assessments, common charges or other amounts prepaid by the Partnership Group under the Condominium Documents to the extent such payments relate to periods from and after the Closing Date, and (B) Investor shall be credited for Investor’s Percentage of any assessments, common charges or other amounts under the Condominium Documents which as of Closing are due or accrued and relate to the period prior to Closing.
(f)    Employee Costs. Accrued and unpaid salaries, wages, unused sick time, unused vacation time, employee benefit fund contributions, social security taxes, workers’ compensation, pension, fringe benefits and other compensation and benefits costs for the employees at the Properties shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.
(g)    Closing Statement. In connection with the Closing, VRLP shall prepare in good faith a preliminary statement of closing adjustments and prorations in accordance with this Agreement showing the net amount due to VRLP or Investor as the result thereof (the “Closing Statement”), and that net amount will be added to, or deducted from, the Balance of the Consideration. The parties acknowledge and agree that certain of the prorations and estimates set forth on the Closing Statement agreed to by the parties were made as of April 8, 2019 and will be revised in the Post-Closing Statement to reflect the actual Closing Date and the failure of the Closing Statement to prorate or address any item shall not preclude the proration of the same pursuant to the Post-Closing Statement. Within one hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing, representatives of Investor and VRLP shall jointly prepare in good faith a revised
-7-

    



statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”, and together with the Closing Statement, the “Closing Statements”), setting forth the final determination of all items to be included in the Closing Statements, and any necessary payment shall be made within thirty (30) days after completion of such Post-Closing Statement. Any item which cannot be finally prorated because of the unavailability of information shall be tentatively prorated on the basis of the best data then available and re-prorated when the information is available. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties agree that in addition to any credits owed to Investor pursuant to this Section 1.3, Investor shall be entitled to any other credit specifically provided for in the Closing Statement.
(h)    Purpose of Prorations. Investor and VRLP acknowledge and agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the purpose and intent of the provisions set forth in this Section 1.2(d) and elsewhere in this Agreement as to prorations and apportionments is that VRLP shall bear all expenses of the ownership and operation of the Properties (for which buyers and sellers of similar buildings in the City of New York would customarily prorate or apportion) and shall receive all income therefrom accruing through the Cut-Off Time and Investor and VRLP shall bear all such expenses and receive all income accruing thereafter, pro rata in accordance with the Investor’s Percentage and VRLP’s Percentage, respectively. Any revenues and/or expenses affecting any Property that are not otherwise specifically addressed in this Section 1.2(d) shall be apportioned consistently with the foregoing provisions.
(i)    Errors and Omissions. Any errors or omissions in computing prorations, credits and apportionments at the Closing shall be corrected promptly after their discovery. If at any time after the Closing Date but before July 1, 2020, the amount of an item to be prorated or calculated in accordance with this Section shall prove to have been incorrect, the party in whose favor the error was made shall promptly pay to the other party the sum necessary to correct such error upon receipt of proof of such error.
(j)    Post-Closing Payment Obligations. Any post-Closing payment obligation of Investor to VRLP or VRLP to Investor under this Section 1.3 shall be payable exclusively from amounts otherwise distributable by the Partnership to the party liable for such payment through the mechanism provided in Section 4.4 of the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement.
(k)    Survival. The provisions of this Section 1.2(d) shall survive the Closing until July 1, 2020; provided that (x) the provisions of Section 1.3(c) shall survive indefinitely and (y) the provisions of Section 1.3(a) shall survive the Closing for a period of 60 (sixty) days following the applicable statute of limitations and that the provisions of Section 1.3(e)(i) shall be subject to Section 7.2(b) of this Agreement.

(a)    VRLP’s Due Diligence Materials. On or prior to the Effective Date, VRLP has provided to Investor certain documents, records and other information (together with any other materials previously or hereafter provided by VRLP to Investor or Investor’s agents, employees and representatives, “VRLP Due Diligence Materials”). Any and all VRLP Due Diligence Materials or other such materials and information delivered or made available by VRLP or its agents or consultants to Investor were delivered and made available solely as an accommodation to Investor and may not be relied upon by Investor in connection with the purchase of the Properties or as a complete and accurate source of information with respect to the Properties (including the Properties’ environmental, structural, architectural, mechanical, physical, financial and economic condition), and Investor agrees that VRLP shall have no liability or obligation whatsoever for or due to any inaccuracy in or omission from any such materials and information and that any reliance on or use of such materials and information shall be at the sole risk of Investor.
(b)    Release and Indemnification. Investor (for itself and the other Investor Parties) hereby releases VRLP and the other VRLP Parties for any and all Losses incurred by any Investor Party arising from or in connection with the Inspections (including any liens placed on the Property or any other property owned by a Person other than Investor as a result of such Inspections), except to the extent resulting from VRLP’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

prepaid Other Taxes or estimated Other Tax payments made by VRLP (either directly or on behalf of the Partnership Group) allocable to the Partnership for a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be allocated to VRLP in determining VRLP’s obligations hereunder. As used in this Agreement, “Tax” means any tax, assessment, levy, duty, tariff, impost or other charge in the nature of a tax (together with any and all interest, penalties, additions to tax and additional amounts imposed with respect thereto) imposed by any Governmental Authority, including all income, gross receipts, license, payroll, employment, excise, severance, stamp, occupation, premium, windfall profits, environmental, customs duties, capital stock, ad valorem, value added, inventory, franchise, profits, withholding, social security (or similar), unemployment, disability, personal property, sales, use, transfer, registration, alternative or add-on minimum or estimated tax.

To the extent that any refunds, interest or credits with respect to Other Taxes allocable to the Partnership are attributable to a Post-Closing Tax Period, such refunds, interest or credits shall be for the account of the Partnership.
