MACK-CALI REALTY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

1.  
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

ORGANIZATION
Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), is a fully-integrated, self-administered, self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) providing leasing, management, acquisition, development, construction and tenant-related services for its properties and third-parties. As of March 31, 2007, the Company owned or had interests in 300 properties plus developable land (collectively, the “Properties”). The Properties aggregate approximately 34.3 million square feet, which are comprised of 289 buildings, primarily office and office/flex buildings, totaling approximately 33.9 million square feet (which include 44 buildings, primarily office buildings, aggregating 5.4 million square feet owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has investment interests), six industrial/warehouse buildings totaling approximately 387,400 square feet, two retail properties totaling approximately 17,300 square feet, a hotel (which is owned by an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Company has an investment interest) and two parcels of land leased to others. The Properties are located in seven states, primarily in the Northeast, plus the District of Columbia.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company, its majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries, which consist principally of Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) and variable interest entities for which the Company has determined itself to be the primary beneficiary, if any. See Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies - Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures for the Company’s treatment of unconsolidated joint venture interests. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


2.  
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Rental
Property
Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs directly related to the acquisition, development and construction of rental properties are capitalized. Capitalized development and construction costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development and construction costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, salaries and other project costs incurred during the period of development. Included in total rental property is construction and development in-progress of $130,950,000 and $116,151,000 (including land of $64,405,000 and $63,136,000) as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Fully-depreciated assets are removed from the accounts.

The Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity (as distinguished from activities such as routine maintenance and cleanup). If portions of a rental project are substantially completed and occupied by tenants, or held available for occupancy, and other portions have not yet reached that stage, the substantially completed portions are accounted for as a separate project. The Company allocates costs incurred between the portions under construction and the portions substantially completed and held available for occupancy, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portion under construction.
 
 
8



Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

 
Leasehold interests
Remaining lease term
 
Buildings and improvements
5 to 40 years
 
Tenant improvements

Upon acquisition of rental property, the Company estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, generally consisting of the fair value of (i) above and below market leases, (ii) in-place leases and (iii) tenant relationships. The Company allocates the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. In estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the Company considers information obtained about each property as a result of its due diligence and marketing and leasing activities, and utilizes various valuation methods, such as estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates, estimates of replacement costs net of depreciation, and available market information. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.

Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value, (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases.

Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values and tenant relationship values, which are based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. Factors to be considered by management in its analysis of in-place lease values include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, management considers leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. Characteristics considered by management in valuing tenant relationships include the nature and extent of the Company’s existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals. The value of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases. The value of tenant relationship intangibles are amortized to expense over the anticipated life of the relationships.

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s real estate properties held for use may be impaired. A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property. The Company’s estimates of aggregate future cash flows expected to be generated by each property are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and costs to operate each property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be achieved. Management does not believe that the value of any of the Company’s rental properties is impaired.

Rental Property
Held for Sale and
Discontinued
Operations
When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets. If, in management’s opinion, the estimated net sales price of the assets which have been identified as held for sale is less than the net book value of the assets, a valuation allowance is established. Properties identified as held for sale and/or sold are presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 6: Discontinued Operations.
 
If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, the Company decides not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, the property is reclassified as held and used. A property that is reclassified is measured and recorded individually at the lower of (a) its carrying amount before the property was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation (amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used, or (b) the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.

Investments in
Unconsolidated
Joint Ventures
The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for which Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46”) does not apply under the equity method of accounting as the Company exercises significant influence, but does not control these entities.   These investments are recorded initially at cost, as Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions.

 
FIN 46 provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”) and the determination of which business enterprise, if any, should consolidate the VIE (the “primary beneficiary”). Generally, FIN 46 applies when either (1) the equity investors (if any) lack one or more of the essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest, (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest.

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the value of the investment. Management does not believe that the value of any of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures is impaired. See Note 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.

Cash and Cash
Equivalents
All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.

Marketable
Securities
The Company classifies its marketable securities among three categories: Held-to-maturity, trading and available-for-sale. Unrealized holding gains and losses relating to available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported as other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity until realized. A decline in the market value of any marketable security below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary results in a reduction in the carrying amount to fair value. Any impairment would be charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security established.

Deferred
Financing Costs
Costs incurred in obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the related indebtedness. Amortization of such costs is included in interest expense and was $708,000 and $721,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Deferred
Leasing Costs
Costs incurred in connection with leases are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases and included in depreciation and amortization. Unamortized deferred leasing costs are charged to amortization expense upon early termination of the lease. Certain employees of the Company are compensated for providing leasing services to the Properties. The portion of such compensation, which is capitalized and amortized, approximated $1,137,000 and $849,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Derivative
Instruments
The Company measures derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, at fair value and records them as an asset or liability, depending on the Company’s rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. For derivatives designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recorded in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging and ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in earnings in the affected period.

Revenue
Recognition
Base rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases.   Unbilled rents receivable represents the amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with the lease agreements. Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values for acquired properties are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options of the respective leases. Escalations and recoveries from tenants are received from tenants for certain costs as provided in the lease agreements. These costs generally include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance and other recoverable costs. See Note 13: Tenant Leases. Construction services revenue includes fees earned and reimbursements received by the Company for providing construction management and general contractor services to clients. Construction services revenue is recognized on the percentage of completion method. Using this method, profits are recorded on the basis of estimates of the overall profit and percentage of completion of individual contracts. A portion of the estimated profits is accrued based upon estimates of the percentage of completion of the construction contract. This revenue recognition method involves inherent risks relating to profit and cost estimates. Real estate services revenue includes property management, facilities management, leasing commission fees and other services, and payroll and related costs reimbursed from clients. Other income includes income from parking spaces leased to tenants, income from tenants for additional services arranged for by the Company and income from tenants for early lease terminations.

Allowance for
Doubtful Accounts
Management periodically performs a detailed review of amounts due from tenants and clients to determine if accounts receivable balances are impaired based on factors affecting the collectibility of those balances. Management’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts requires management to exercise significant judgment about the timing, frequency and severity of collection losses, which affects the allowance and net income.

Income and
Other Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to corporate federal income tax (including alternative minimum tax) on net income that it currently distributes to its shareholders, provided that the Company satisfies certain organizational and operational requirements including the requirement to distribute at least 90 percent of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders. The Company has elected to treat certain of its corporate subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (each a “TRS”). In general, a TRS of the Company may perform additional services for tenants of the Company and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business (except for the operation or management of health care facilities or lodging facilities or the providing to any person, under a franchise, license or otherwise, rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated). A TRS is subject to corporate federal income tax. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. The Company is subject to certain state and local taxes.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FAS No. 109”) on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized no material adjustments regarding its tax accounting treatment. The Company expects to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as income tax expense, which is included in general and administrative expense.

Earnings
Per Share
The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower EPS amount.

Dividends and
Distributions
Payable
The dividends and distributions payable at March 31, 2007 represents dividends payable to preferred shareholders (10,000 shares) and common shareholders (67,848,012 shares), and distributions payable to minority interest common unitholders of the Operating Partnership (15,200,761 common units) for all such holders of record as of April 4, 2007 with respect to the first quarter 2007. The first quarter 2007 preferred stock dividends of $50.00 per share, common stock dividends and common unit distributions of $0.64 per common share and unit were approved by the Board of Directors on March 13, 2007. The preferred stock dividends, common stock dividends and common unit distributions payable were paid on April 16, 2007.

The dividends and distributions payable at December 31, 2006 represents dividends payable to preferred shareholders (10,000 shares) and common shareholders (62,925,271 shares), and distributions payable to minority interest common unitholders of the Operating Partnership (15,342,283 common units) for all such holders of record as of January 4, 2007 with respect to the fourth quarter 2006. The fourth quarter 2006 preferred stock dividends of $50.00 per share, common stock dividends and common unit distributions of $0.64 per common share and unit were approved by the Board of Directors on December 5, 2006. The common stock dividends and common unit distributions payable were paid on January 12, 2007. The preferred stock dividends payable were paid on January 16, 2007.

Costs Incurred For
Income
Costs incurred in connection with the Company’s stock issuances are reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.
 
Stock
Compensation
The Company accounts for stock options and restricted stock awards granted prior to 2002 using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations (“APB No. 25”). Under APB No. 25, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant over the exercise price of the option granted. Compensation cost for stock options is recognized ratably over the vesting period. The Company’s policy is to grant options with an exercise price equal to the quoted closing market price of the Company’s stock on the business day preceding the grant date. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized under the Company’s stock option plans for the granting of stock options made prior to 2002. Restricted stock awards granted prior to 2002 are valued at the vesting dates of such awards with compensation cost for such awards recognized ratably over the vesting period.

In 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB No. 123, and in 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB No. 123(R), which did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. These provisions require that the estimated fair value of restricted stock (“Restricted Stock Awards”) and stock options at the grant date be amortized ratably into expense over the appropriate vesting period. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded restricted stock and stock options expense of $898,000 and $730,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES

The debt of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures aggregating $582.8 million as of March 31, 2007 is non-recourse to the Company, except for customary exceptions pertaining to such matters as intentional misuse of funds, environmental conditions and material misrepresentations, and except as otherwise indicated below.
 
MEADOWLANDS XANADU
On November 25, 2003, the Company and affiliates of The Mills Corporation (“Mills”) entered into a joint venture agreement (“Meadowlands Xanadu Venture Agreement”) to form Meadowlands Mills/Mack-Cali Limited Partnership (“Meadowlands Venture”) for the purpose of developing a $1.3 billion family entertainment, recreation and retail complex with an office and hotel component to be built at the Meadowlands sports complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey (“Meadowlands Xanadu”). The First Amendment to the Meadowlands Xanadu Venture Agreement was entered into as of June 30, 2005. Meadowlands Xanadu’s approximately 4.76 million-square-foot complex is expected to feature a family entertainment, recreation and retail destination comprising five themed zones: sports; entertainment; children’s education; fashion; and food and home, in addition to four office buildings, aggregating approximately 1.8 million square feet, and a 520-room hotel.

The Company and Mills owned a 20 percent and 80 percent interest, respectively, in the Meadowlands Venture. The Meadowlands Xanadu Venture Agreement required the Company to make an equity contribution up to a maximum of $32.5 million, which it fulfilled in April 2005.

Mills was to develop, lease and operate the entertainment phase of the Meadowlands Xanadu project (“ERC”). Upon the Company’s exercise of its rights under the Meadowlands Xanadu Venture Agreement to develop the office and hotel phases, the Meadowlands Venture was to convey ownership of the component ventures to the Company and Mills or its affiliate, and the Company or its affiliate was to own an 80 percent interest and Mills or its affiliate was to own a 20 percent interest in such component ventures.

On August 21, 2006, Mills announced that it had signed a non-binding letter of intent with Colony Capital Acquisitions, LLC (“Colony”) and Kan Am USA Management XXII Limited Partnership (“Kan Am”) under which Colony would arrange for construction financing for Meadowlands Xanadu and make a significant equity infusion into the Meadowlands Venture, and Mills would not have any financial obligations post closing (“Colony Transaction”). Kan Am has been a partner with Mills in the Meadowlands Venture.

On November 22, 2006, the Company entered into and consummated a Redemption Agreement (the “Redemption Agreement”) with the Meadowlands Venture, Meadowlands Developer Holding Corp., a limited partner in the Meadowlands Venture, and the Meadowlands Limited Partnership (f/k/a Meadowlands/Mills Limited Partnership, and hereafter “MLP”), a general partner and a limited partner in the Meadowlands Venture. Immediately prior to entering into the Redemption Agreement, the investors in MLP undertook a restructuring of MLP whereby Colony became an indirect owner of MLP.

In connection with the Colony Transaction and pursuant to the Redemption Agreement, the Meadowlands Venture redeemed (the “Redemption”) the Company’s entire interest in the Meadowlands Venture and its right to participate in the development of the ERC component in exchange for (i) $22.5 million in cash and (ii) a non-economic partner interest in each of the office and hotel components of Meadowlands Xanadu. In connection with the Redemption, the Operating Partnership also received a non-interest bearing promissory note for an additional $2.5 million, which note is payable in full by MLP only at such time as the Operating Partnership exercises one of its options to develop the first of the office and hotel components of Meadowlands Xanadu. The Company’s remaining investment of approximately $11.9 million is included in deferred charges and other assets, net, as of December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007.

Concurrent with the execution of the Redemption Agreement, the Company also entered into the Mack-Cali Rights, Obligations and Option Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”) by and among the Meadowlands Venture, MLP, Meadowlands Mack-Cali GP, L.L.C., Mack-Cali, Baseball Meadowlands Limited Partnership, A-B Office Meadowlands Mack-Cali Limited Partnership, C-D Office Meadowlands Limited Partnership, Hotel Meadowlands Mack-Cali Limited Partnership and ERC Meadowlands Mills/Mack-Cali Limited Partnership.

MACK-GREEN-GALE LLC
On May 9, 2006, as part of the Gale/Green transactions completed in May 2006, the Company entered into a joint venture, Mack-Green-Gale LLC (“Mack-Green”), with SL Green, pursuant to which Mack-Green holds a 96 percent interest and acts as general partner of Gale SLG NJ Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “OP LP”). The Company’s acquisition cost for its interest in Mack-Green was approximately $125 million, which was funded primarily through borrowing under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The OP LP owns 100 percent of entities which own 25 office properties (the “OP LP Properties”) which aggregate 3.5 million square feet (consisting of 17 office properties aggregating 2.3 mi llion square feet located in New Jersey and eight properties aggregating 1.2 million square feet located in Troy, Michigan), as well as a minor, non-controlling interest in four office properties aggregating 419,000 square feet located in Naperville, Illinois.

As defined in the Mack-Green operating agreement, the Company shares decision-making equally with SL Green regarding: (i) all major decisions involving the operations of Mack-Green; and (ii) overall general partner responsibilities in operating the OP LP.

The Mack-Green operating agreement generally provides for profits and losses to be allocated as follows:
 
 
16


(i)  
99 percent of Mack-Green’s share of the profits and losses from 10 specific OP LP Properties allocable to the Company and one percent allocable to SL Green;
(ii)  
one percent of Mack-Green’s share of the profits and losses from eight specific OP LP Properties and its minor interest in four office properties allocable to the Company and 99 percent allocable to SL Green; and
(iii)  
50 percent of all other profits and losses allocable to the Company and 50 percent allocable to SL Green.

Substantially all of the OP LP Properties are encumbered by mortgage loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $359.3 million at March 31, 2007. $189.4 million of the mortgage loans bear interest at a weighted average fixed interest rate of 6.32 percent per annum and mature at various times through May 2016. $170.0 million of the mortgage loans bear interest at a floating rate ranging from LIBOR plus 185 basis points to LIBOR plus 400 basis points per annum and mature at various times through January 2009. Included in the floating rate mortgage loans are $90.3 million provided by an affiliate of SL Green.

On August 9, 2006, $69.7 million of mortgage loans were refinanced. The new loan has a maximum principal amount of $90.0 million with $78.9 million drawn at March 31, 2007. The loan provides the ability to draw funds for qualified leasing and capital improvement costs. The loan bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 185 basis points and matures on August 8, 2008 with a two-year extension option.

The Company performs management, leasing, and construction services for the properties owned by the joint venture and recognized $598,700 in income (net of $529,300 in direct costs) for such services in the three months ended March 31, 2007.

GE/GALE FUNDING LLC (PFV)
The Gale agreement signed as part of the Gale/Green transactions in May 2006 provides for the Company to acquire certain ownership interests in real estate projects (the “Non-Portfolio Properties”), subject to obtaining certain third party consents and the satisfaction of various project-related and/or other conditions. Each of the Company’s acquired interests in the Non-Portfolio Properties provide for the initial distributions of net cash flow solely to the Company, and thereafter an affiliate of Mr. Gale (“Gale Affiliate”) has participation rights (“Gale Participation Rights”) in 50 percent of the excess net cash flow remaining after the distribution to the Company of the aggregate amount equal to the sum of: (a) the Company’s capital contributions, plus (b) an internal rate of return (“IRR”) of 10 percent per annum, accruing on the date or dates of the Company’s investments.

On May 9, 2006, as part of the Gale/Green transactions, the Company acquired from a Gale Affiliate for $1.8 million a 50 percent controlling interest in GMW Village Associates, LLC (“GMW Village”). GMW Village holds a 20 percent interest in GE/Gale Funding LLC (“GE Gale”). GE Gale owns a 100 percent interest in the entity owning Princeton Forrestal Village, a mixed-use, office/retail complex aggregating 527,015 square feet and located in Plainsboro, New Jersey (“Princeton Forrestal Village” or “PFV”).

In addition to the cash consideration paid to acquire the interest, the Company provided a Gale affiliate with the Gale Participation Rights.

The operating agreement of GE Gale, which is owned 80 percent by GEBAM, Inc., provides for, among other things, distributions of net cash flow, initially, in proportion to each member’s interest and subject to adjustment upon achievement of certain financial goals, as defined in the operating agreement.

GE Gale has a mortgage loan with a balance of $52.8 million at March 31, 2007. The loan bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 275 basis points and matures on January 9, 2009, with an extension option through January 9, 2011.

The Company performs management, leasing, and construction services for PFV and recognized $211,500 in income (net of $714,000 in direct costs) for such services in the three months ended March 31, 2007.

BOSTON-FILENES
On October 20, 2006, the Company formed a joint venture (the “MC/Gale JV LLC”) with Gale International/426 Washington St. LLC (“Gale/426”), which, in turn, entered into a joint venture (the “Vornado JV LLC”) with VNO 426 Washington Street JV LLC (“Vornado”), an affiliate of Vornado Realty LP, which was formed to acquire and redevelop the Filenes property located in the Downtown Crossing district of Boston, Massachusetts (the “Filenes Property”).

On January 25, 2007, (i) each of M-C/Gale JV LLC, Gale and Washington Street Realty Member LLC (“JPM”) formed a joint venture (“JPM JV LLC”), (ii) M-C/Gale JV LLC assigned its entire 50 percent ownership interest in the Vornado JV LLC to JPM JV LLC, (iii) the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Vornado JV LLC was amended to reflect, among other things, the change in the ownership structure described in subsection (ii) above, and (iv) the Limited Liability Company Agreement of MC/Gale JV LLC was amended and restated to reflect, among other things, the change in the ownership structure described in subsection (ii) above. In January 2007, the Company funded an additional $9.6 million in the venture. The Vornado JV LLC acquired the Filenes Property on January 29, 2007, for approximately $100 million.

As a result of the foregoing transactions, as of January 29, 2007, (i) the Filenes Property is owned by Vornado JV LLC, (ii) Vornado JV LLC is owned 50 percent by each of Vornado and JPM JV LLC, (iii) JPM JV LLC is owned 30 percent by M-C/Gale JV LLC, 70 percent by JPM and managed by Gale/426, which has no ownership interest in JPM JV LLC, and (iv) M-C/Gale JV LLC is owned 99.99 percent by the Company and 0.01 percent by Gale/426. Thus, the Company holds approximately a 15 percent indirect ownership interest in the Vornado JV LLC and the Filenes Property.
 
 
19


 
Distributions are made (i) by Vornado JV LLC in proportion to its members’ respective ownership interests, (ii) by JPM JV LLC (a) initially, in proportion to its members’ respective ownership interests until JPM’s investment yields an 11 percent IRR, (b) thereafter, 60/40 to JPM and MC/Gale JV LLC, respectively, until JPM’s investment yields a 15 percent IRR and (c) thereafter, 50/50 to JPM and MC/Gale JV LLC, respectively, and (iii) by MC/Gale JV LLC (w) initially, in proportion to its members’ respective ownership interests until each member has received a 10 percent IRR on its investment, (x) thereafter, 65/35 to the Company and Gale/426, respectively, until the Company’s investment yields a 15 percent IRR, (y) if by the time the Company receives a 15 percent IRR on its investment, Gale/426 has not done so, 100 percent to Gale/426 until Gale/426’s investment yields a 15 percent IRR, and (z) thereafter, 50/50 to each of the Company and Gale/426.

The joint venture’s current plans for the development of the Filenes Property include approximately 1.2 million square feet consisting of office, retail, condominium apartments, hotel and a garage. The project is subject to governmental approvals.

UNSECURED REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

The Company has an unsecured revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $600 million, (expandable to $800 million). The interest rate on outstanding borrowings (not electing the Company’s competitive bid feature) under the unsecured facility is currently LIBOR plus 65 basis points. The facility has a competitive bid feature, which allows the Company to solicit bids from lenders under the facility to borrow up to $300 million at interest rates less than the current LIBOR plus 65 basis point spread. The Company may also elect an interest rate representing the higher of the lender’s prime rate or the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points. The unsecured facility, which also requires a 15 basis point facility fee on the current borrowing capacity payable quarterly in arrears, is scheduled to mature in November 2009 and has an extension option of one year, which would require a payment of 25 basis points of the then borrowing capacity of the facility upon exercise.

The interest rate and the facility fee are subject to adjustment, on a sliding scale, based upon the operating partnership’s unsecured debt ratings. In the event of a change in the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt rating, the interest and facility fee rates will be adjusted in accordance with the following table:

Operating Partnership’s

If the Operating Partnership has debt ratings from three rating agencies, one of which is S&P or Moody’s, the rates per the above table shall be based on the lower of the two highest ratings. If the Operating Partnership has debt ratings from only one agency, it will be considered to have no rating or less than BBB-/Baa3/BBB- per the above table.

The terms of the unsecured facility include certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things, the payment of dividends (as discussed below), the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the incurrence of liens and the disposition of real estate properties (to the extent that: (i) such property dispositions cause the Company to default on any of the financial ratios of the facility described below, or (ii) the property dispositions are completed while the Company is under an event of default under the facility, unless, under certain circumstances, such disposition is being carried out to cure such default), and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum leverage ratio, the maximum amount of secured indebtedness, the minimum amount of tangible net worth, the minimum amount of fixed charge coverage, the maximum amount of unsecured indebtedness, the minimum amount of unencumbered property interest coverage and certain investment limitations. The dividend restriction referred to above provides that, except to enable the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code, the Company will not during any four consecutive fiscal quarters make distributions with respect to common stock or other common equity interests in an aggregate amount in excess of 90 percent of funds from operations (as defined in the facility agreement) for such period, subject to certain other adjustments.

The lending group for the credit facility consists of: JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent; Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent; The Bank of Nova Scotia, New York Agency; Wachovia Bank, National Association; and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as documentation agents; SunTrust Bank, as senior managing agent; US Bank National Association; Citicorp North America, Inc.; and PNC Bank National Association, as managing agents; and Bank of China, New York Branch; The Bank of New York; Chevy Chase Bank, F.S.B.; The Royal Bank of Scotland, plc; Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd.; UFJ Bank Limited, New York Branch; The Governor and Company of the Bank of Ireland; Bank Hapoalim B.M.; Comerica Bank; Chang Hwa Commercial Bank, Ltd., New York Branch; First Commercial Bank, New York Agency; Chiao Tung Bank Co., Ltd., New York Agency; Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas; and Hua Nan Commercial Bank, New York Agency.

MINORITY INTERESTS

OPERATING PARTNERSHIP
Minority interests in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relate to (i) preferred units (“Preferred Units”) and common units in the Operating Partnership, held by parties other than the Company, and (ii) interests in consolidated joint ventures for the portion of such properties not owned by the Company.

PREFERRED UNITS
In connection with the Company’s issuance of $25 million of Series C cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred stock, the Company acquired from the Operating Partnership $25 million of Series C Preferred Units (the “Series C Preferred Units”), which have terms essentially identical to the Series C preferred stock. See Note 14: Stockholders’ Equity - Preferred Stock.
 
 
26

 

 
COMMON UNITS
Certain individuals and entities own common units in the Operating Partnership. A common unit and a share of common stock of the Company have substantially the same economic characteristics in as much as they effectively share equally in the net income or loss of the Operating Partnership. Common units are redeemable by the common unitholders at their option, subject to certain restrictions, on the basis of one common unit for either one share of common stock or cash equal to the fair market value of a share at the time of the redemption. The Company has the option to deliver shares of common stock in exchange for all or any portion of the cash requested. The common unitholders may not put the units for cash to the Company or the Operating Partnership. When a unitholder redeems a common unit, minority interest in the Operating Partnership is reduced and the Company’s investment in the Operating Partnership is increased.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT 401(k) PLANS

Employees of the Company, other than those assigned to the Gale Company and affiliated employers, who meet certain minimum age and period of service requirements are eligible to participate in a 401(k) defined contribution plan (the “401(k) Plan”). The 401(k) Plan allows eligible employees to defer from 1 to 30 percent of their annual compensation, subject to certain limitations imposed by federal law. The amounts contributed by employees are immediately vested and non-forfeitable. The Company, at management’s discretion, may match employee contributions and/or make discretionary contributions. Total expense recognized by the Company for the 401(k) Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $100,000 and $100,000, respectively.

All employees of the Gale Company and other affiliated participating employers, other than certain employees who are represented for collective bargaining purposes by a labor organization, who meet certain minimum age and period of service requirements are eligible to participate in a 401(k) defined contribution plan (the “Gale Plan”). The Gale Plan allows eligible employees to defer from their annual compensation, the maximum amount permitted under federal law. The amounts contributed by employees are immediately vested and non-forfeitable. The Gale Company or the participant’s employer matches the employee’s deferral at the rate of 50 percent on the first six percent of the employee’s annual compensation for employees who have at least 1,000 hours of service and are employed on the last day of the plan year. In addition, the Company, at management’s discretion, may make discretionary contributions. Participants become 50 percent vested in employer contributions after two years of service and become 100 percent vested after three years of service. Total expense recognized by the Company for the Gale Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $67,000.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENTS
Pursuant to agreements with the City of Jersey City, New Jersey, the Company is required to make payments in lieu of property taxes (“PILOT”) on certain of its properties located in Jersey City, as follows:

The Harborside Plaza 5 agreement, as amended, which commenced in 2002 upon substantial completion of the property, as defined, is for a term of 20 years. The PILOT is equal to two percent of Total Project Costs. Total Project Costs, as defined, are $159.6 million. The PILOT totaled $798,000 and $798,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

The Harborside Plaza 4-A agreement, which commenced in 2000, is for a term of 20 years. The PILOT is equal to two percent of Total Project costs, as defined, and increases by 10 percent in years 7, 10 and 13 and by 50 percent in year 16. Total Project costs, as defined, are $45.5 million. The PILOT totaled $250,000 and $227,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

At the conclusion of the above-referenced PILOT agreements, it is expected that the properties will be assessed by the municipality and be subject to real estate taxes at the then prevailing rates.

LITIGATION
The Company is a defendant in litigation arising in the normal course of its business activities. Management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a materially adverse effect upon the Company’s financial condition taken as whole.

OTHER
The Company may not dispose of or distribute certain of its properties, currently comprising 50 properties with an aggregate net book value of approximately $1.3 billion, which were originally contributed by members of either the Mack Group (which includes William L. Mack, Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors; David S. Mack, director; Earle I. Mack, a former director; and Mitchell E. Hersh, president, chief executive officer and director), the Robert Martin Group (which includes Robert F. Weinberg, director; Martin S. Berger, a former director; and Timothy M. Jones, former president), the Cali Group (which includes John R. Cali, director, and John J. Cali, a former director) or certain other common unitholders without the express written consent of a representative of the Mack Group, the Robert Martin Group, the Cali Group or the specific certain other common unitholders, as applicable, except in a manner which does not result in recognition of any built-in-gain (which may result in an income tax liability) or which reimburses the appropriate Mack Group, Robert Martin Group, Cali Group members or the specific certain other common unitholders for the tax consequences of the recognition of such built-in-gains (collectively, the “Property Lock-Ups”). The aforementioned restrictions do not apply in the event that the Company sells all of its properties or in connection with a sale transaction which the Company’s Board of Directors determines is reasonably necessary to satisfy a material monetary default on any unsecured debt, judgment or liability of the Company or to cure any material monetary default on any mortgage secured by a property. The Property Lock-Ups expire periodically through 2016. Upon the expiration of the Property Lock-Ups, the Company is generally required to use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any sale, transfer or other disposition of the subject properties from resulting in the recognition of built-in gain to the appropriate Mack Group, Robert Martin Group, Cali Group members or the specific certain other common unitholders. 87 of our properties, with an aggregate net book value of approximately $805.8 million, have lapsed restrictions and are subject to these conditions.


13.  
TENANT LEASES

The Properties are leased to tenants under operating leases with various expiration dates through 2026. Substantially all of the leases provide for annual base rents plus recoveries and escalation charges based upon the tenant’s proportionate share of and/or increases in real estate taxes and certain operating costs, as defined, and the pass-through of charges for electrical usage.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

To maintain its qualification as a REIT, not more than 50 percent in value of the outstanding shares of the Company may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of any taxable year of the Company, other than its initial taxable year (defined to include certain entities), applying certain constructive ownership rules. To help ensure that the Company will not fail this test, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation provide for, among other things, certain restrictions on the transfer of common stock to prevent further concentration of stock ownership. Moreover, to evidence compliance with these requirements, the Company must maintain records that disclose the actual ownership of its outstanding common stock and demands written statements each year from the holders of record of designated percentages of its common stock requesting the disclosure of the beneficial owners of such common stock.
 
 
29


 
COMMON STOCK
On February 7, 2007, the Company completed an underwritten offer and sale of 4,650,000 shares of its common stock and used the net proceeds, which totaled approximately $252 million (after offering costs), primarily to pay down its outstanding borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

PREFERRED STOCK
On March 14, 2003, in a publicly registered transaction with a single institutional buyer, the Company completed the sale and issuance of 10,000 shares of eight-percent Series C cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”) in the form of 1,000,000 depositary shares ($25 stated value per depositary share). Each depositary share represents 1/100th of a share of Series C Preferred Stock. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $24.8 million from the sale.

The Series C Preferred Stock has preference rights with respect to liquidation and distributions over the common stock. Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, except under certain limited conditions, will not be entitled to vote on any matters. In the event of a cumulative arrearage equal to six quarterly dividends, holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will have the right to elect two additional members to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors until dividends have been paid in full. At March 31, 2007, there were no dividends in arrears. The Company may issue unlimited additional preferred stock ranking on a parity with the Series C Preferred Stock but may not issue any preferred stock senior to the Series C Preferred Stock without the consent of two-thirds of its holders. The Series C Preferred Stock is essentially on an equivalent basis in priority with the Preferred Units.

Except under certain conditions relating to the Company’s qualification as a REIT, the Series C Preferred Stock is not redeemable prior to March 14, 2008. On and after such date, the Series C Preferred Stock will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at $25 per depositary share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
The Company has authorization to repurchase up to $45.5 million of its outstanding common stock, which it may repurchase from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing prices or through privately negotiated transactions.

STOCK OPTION PLANS
In May 2004, the Company established the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan under which a total of 2,500,000 shares have been reserved for issuance. No options have been granted through March 31, 2007 under this plan. In September 2000, the Company established the 2000 Employee Stock Option Plan (“2000 Employee Plan”) and the Amended and Restated 2000 Director Stock Option Plan (“2000 Director Plan”). In May 2002, shareholders of the Company approved amendments to both plans to increase the total shares reserved for issuance under both of the 2000 plans from 2,700,000 to 4,350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (from 2,500,000 to 4,000,000 shares under the 2000 Employee Plan and from 200,000 to 350,000 shares under the 2000 Director Plan). In 1994, and as subsequently amended, the Company established the Mack-Cali Employee Stock Option Plan (“Employee Plan”) and the Mack-Cali Director Stock Option Plan (“Director Plan”) under which a total of 5,380,188 shares (subject to adjustment) of the Company’s common stock had been reserved for issuance (4,980,188 shares under the Employee Plan and 400,000 shares under the Director Plan). As the Employee Plan and Director Plan expired in 2004, stock options may no longer be issued under those plans. Stock options granted under the Employee Plan in 1994 and 1995 became exercisable over a three-year period. Stock options granted under the 2000 Employee Plan and those options granted subsequent to 1995 under the Employee Plan become exercisable over a five-year period. All stock options granted under both the 2000 Director Plan and Director Plan become exercisable in one year. All options were granted at the fair market value at the dates of grant and have terms of ten years. As of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the stock options outstanding had a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately 4.5 and 4.7 years, respectively. Stock options exercisable at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 had a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately 4.1 and 4.5 years, respectively.

Cash received from options exercised under all stock option plans was $3.3 million and $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $3.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively. The Company has a policy of issuing new shares to satisfy stock option exercises.

The Company recognized stock options expense of $33,000 and $37,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. As of March 31, 2007, the Company had $4.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock compensation granted under the Company’s stock compensation plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years.

STOCK COMPENSATION
The Company has granted stock awards (“Restricted Stock Awards”) to officers, certain other employees, and non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company, which allow the holders to each receive a certain amount of shares of the Company’s common stock generally over a one to five-year vesting period and generally based on time and service, of which 153,211 shares were outstanding at March 31, 2007. Of the outstanding Restricted Stock Awards granted to executive officers and senior management, 46,873 are contingent upon the Company meeting certain performance and/or stock price appreciation objectives. All Restricted Stock Awards provided to the officers and certain other employees were granted under the 2000 Employee Plan and the Employee Plan. Restricted Stock Awards granted to directors were granted under the 2000 Director Plan.

DEFERRED STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN FOR DIRECTORS
The Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors, which commenced January 1, 1999, allows non-employee directors of the Company to elect to defer up to 100 percent of their annual retainer fee into deferred stock units. The deferred stock units are convertible into an equal number of shares of common stock upon the directors’ termination of service from the Board of Directors or a change in control of the Company, as defined in the plan. Deferred stock units are credited to each director quarterly using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the applicable dividend record date for the respective quarter. Each participating director’s account is also credited for an equivalent amount of deferred stock units based on the dividend rate for each quarter.

31


During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, 1,643 and 1,635 deferred stock units were earned, respectively. As of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, there were 38,799 and 37,263 deferred stock units outstanding, respectively.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company operates in two business segments: (i) real estate and (ii) construction services. The Company provides leasing, property management, acquisition, development, construction and tenant-related services for its portfolio. In May 2006, in conjunction with the Company’s acquisition of the Gale Company and related businesses, the Company acquired a business specializing solely in construction and related services whose operations comprise the Company’s construction services segment. There were no revenues from foreign countries recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. The Company had no long lived assets in foreign locations as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies, excluding depreciation and amortization.

The Company evaluates performance based upon net operating income for each segment.

Selected results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 and selected asset information as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 regarding the Company’s operating segments are as follows: (dollars in thousands)

IMPACT OF RECENTLY-ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD (FASB) Statement No. 159 (“FASB No. 159”), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115

FASB No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. FASB No. 159 is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with FASB’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments.  This Statement applies to all entities, including not-for-profit organizations. Most of the provisions of this Statement apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. Some requirements apply differently to entities that do not report net income.
The following are eligible items for the measurement option established by FASB No. 159.

1.  
Recognized financial assets and financial liabilities except:
a.  
An investment in a subsidiary that the entity is required to consolidate;
b.  
An interest in a variable interest entity that the entity is required to consolidate;
c.  
Employers’ and plans’ obligations (or assets representing net overfunded positions) for pension benefits, other postretirement benefits (including health care and life insurance benefits), postemployment benefits, employee stock option and stock purchase plans, and other forms of deferred compensation arrangements, as defined in FASB Statements No. 35, Accounting and Reporting by Defined Benefit Pension Plans, No. 87, Employers’ Accounting for Pensions, No. 106, Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, No. 112, Employers’ Accounting for Postemployment Benefits, No. 123 (revised December 2004), Share-Based Payment, No. 43, Accounting for Compensated Absences, No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, and No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, and APB Opinion No. 12, Omnibus Opinion—1967;  
d.  
Financial assets and financial liabilities recognized under leases as defined in FASB Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases (This exception does not apply to a guarantee of a third-party lease obligation or a contingent obligation arising from a cancelled lease.);
e.  
Deposit liabilities, withdrawable on demand, of banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, and other similar depository institutions; and
f.  
Financial instruments that are, in whole or in part, classified by the issuer as a component of shareholder’s equity (including “temporary equity”). An example is a convertible debt security with a noncontingent beneficial conversion feature.
2.  
Firm commitments that would otherwise not be recognized at inception and that involve only financial instruments.
3.  
Nonfinancial insurance contracts and warranties that the insurer can settle by paying a third party to provide those goods or services.
4.  
Host financial instruments resulting from separation of an embedded nonfinancial derivative instrument from a nonfinancial hybrid instrument.
 
 
 
34


 
The fair value option established by FASB No. 159 permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date. FASB No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.   The Company does not expect that the implementation of FASB No. 159 will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

FASB Statement No. 157 (“FASB NO. 157”),   Fair Value Measurements

FASB No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is their relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this FASB No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this FASB No. 157 will change current practice. This statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect that the implementation of FASB No. 157 will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of   Financial Condition and Results of Operations

GENERAL

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation and the notes thereto (collectively, the “Financial Statements”). Certain defined terms used herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Financial Statements.


Executive Overview

Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (the “Company”) is one of the largest real estate investment trusts (REITs) in the United States, with a total market capitalization of approximately $6.0 billion at March 31, 2007. The Company has been involved in all aspects of commercial real estate development, management and ownership for over 50 years and has been a publicly-traded REIT since 1994. The Company owns or has interests in 300 properties (collectively, the “Properties”), primarily class A office and office/flex buildings, totaling approximately 34.3 million square feet, leased to approximately 2,200 tenants. The properties are located primarily in suburban markets of the Northeast, some with adjacent, Company-controlled developable land sites able to accommodate up to 11.5 million square feet of additional commercial space.

The Company’s strategy is to be a significant real estate owner and operator in its core, high-barriers-to-entry markets, primarily in the Northeast.

As an owner of real estate, almost all of the Company’s earnings and cash flow is derived from rental revenue received pursuant to leased space at the Properties. Key factors that affect the Company’s business and financial results include the following:

·   
the general economic climate;
·   
the occupancy rates of the Properties;
·   
rental rates on new or renewed leases;
·   
tenant improvement and leasing costs incurred to obtain and retain tenants;
·   
the extent of early lease terminations;
·   
operating expenses;
·   
cost of capital; and
·   
the extent of acquisitions, development and sales of real estate.

Any negative effects of the above key factors could potentially cause a deterioration in the Company’s revenue and/or earnings. Such negative effects could include: (1) failure to renew or execute new leases as current leases expire; (2) failure to renew or execute new leases with rental terms at or above the terms of in-place leases; and (3) tenant defaults.

A failure to renew or execute new leases as current leases expire or to execute new leases with rental terms at or above the terms of in-place leases may be affected by several factors such as: (1) the local economic climate, which may be adversely impacted by business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, changing demographics and other factors; and (2) local real estate conditions, such as oversupply of office and office/flex space or competition within the market.

The Company’s core markets continue to be weak. The percentage leased in the Company’s consolidated portfolio of stabilized operating properties was 92.2 percent at March 31, 2007 as compared to 92.0 percent at December 31, 2006 and 90.4 percent at March 31, 2006. Percentage leased includes all leases in effect as of the period end date, some of which have commencement dates in the future (including, at March 31, 2007, a lease with a commencement date substantially in the future consisting of 8,590 square feet scheduled to commence in 2009), and leases that expire at the period end date. Leases that expired as of March 31, 2007, December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2006 aggregate 286,298, 103,477 and 95,861 square feet, respectively, or 1.0, 0.4 and 0.3 percentage of the net rentable square footage, respectively. Rental rates on the Company’s space that was re-leased (based on first rents payable) during the three months ended March 31, 2007 decreased an average of 1.2 percent compared to rates that were in effect under the prior leases, as compared to a 4.8 percent decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The Company believes that vacancy rates may continue to increase in some of its markets in 2007. As a result, the Company’s future earnings and cash flow may continue to be negatively impacted by current market conditions.

The remaining portion of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should help the reader understand:

·   
property transactions during the period;
·   
critical accounting policies and estimates;
·   
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006; and
·   
liquidity and capital resources.


Summary of Transactions

On February 27, 2007, the Company exercised its option to acquire approximately 43 acres of land sites adjacent to its Capital Office Park complex in Greenbelt, Maryland able to accommodate the development of up to 600,000 square feet of office space for $13 million. The option was acquired as part of the acquisition of the office complex in February 2006.

On March 21, 2007, the Company announced that it reached an agreement to purchase condominium interests in 125 Broad Street (“Broad Street Condo”), a downtown Manhattan office tower, for $273 million. The condominium units being acquired include floors 2 through 16 of the 40-story building, and collectively comprise 39.6 percent, or 524,500 square feet, of the property. The condominium interests to be acquired are currently 100 percent leased.  In a related transaction, the Company also signed a contract to sell 500 West Putnam Avenue, a 121,500 square-foot office building located in Greenwich, Connecticut to the seller of the Broad Street Condo, for $56 million. The completion of each of these transactions is contingent upon the other.

On April 10, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its 133,000 square-foot office building located at 1000 Bridgeport Avenue in Shelton, Connecticut for $16.8 million.

The Company expects to complete the above transactions in the second quarter 2007.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of the Financial Statements requires management 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 reported period. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s historical experience that are believed to be reasonable at the time. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. The Company’s critical accounting policies are those which require assumptions to be made about matters that are highly uncertain. Different estimates could have a material effect on the Company’s financial results. Judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of these policies and estimates may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions and circumstances.

Rental Property:
Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs directly related to the acquisition, development and construction of rental properties are capitalized. Capitalized development and construction costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development and construction costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, salaries and other project costs incurred during the period of development. Interest capitalized by the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $1.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Fully-depreciated assets are removed from the accounts.
 
 
37


 
The Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity (as distinguished from activities such as routine maintenance and cleanup). If portions of a rental project are substantially completed and occupied by tenants, or held available for occupancy, and other portions have not yet reached that stage, the substantially completed portions are accounted for as a separate project. The Company allocates costs incurred between the portions under construction and the portions substantially completed and held available for occupancy and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portion under construction.

Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Leasehold interests
Remaining lease term
Buildings and improvements
5 to 40 years
Tenant improvements
The shorter of the term of the
 
related lease or useful life
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
5 to 10 years

Upon acquisition of rental property, the Company estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities generally consisting of the fair value of (i) above and below market leases, (ii) in-place leases and (iii) tenant relationships. The Company allocates the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. In estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the Company considers information obtained about each property as a result of its due diligence and marketing and leasing activities, and utilizes various valuation methods, such as estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates, estimates of replacement costs net of depreciation, and available market information. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.

Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases.

Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values and tenant relationship values which are based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. Factors to be considered by management in its analysis of in-place lease values include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, management considers leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. Characteristics considered by management in valuing tenant relationships include the nature and extent of the Company’s existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals. The value of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases. The value of tenant relationship intangibles will be amortized to expense over the anticipated life of the relationships.
 
 
38


 
On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s rental properties may be impaired. A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property. The Company’s estimates of aggregate future cash flows expected to be generated by each property are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and costs to operate each property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be achieved. Management does not believe that the value of any of the Company’s rental properties is impaired.

Rental Property Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations:
When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets. If, in management’s opinion, the net sales price of the assets which have been identified as held for sale is less than the net book value of the assets, a valuation allowance is established. Properties identified as held for sale and/or sold are presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented.

If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, the Company decides not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, the property is reclassified as held and used. A property that is reclassified is measured and recorded individually at the lower of (a) its carrying amount before the property was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation (amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used, or (b) the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.

Revenue Recognition:
Base rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases.   Unbilled rents receivable represents the amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with the lease agreements. Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values for acquired properties are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options of the respective leases. Escalations and recoveries from tenants are received from tenants for certain costs as provided in the lease agreements. These costs generally include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance and other recoverable costs.

Construction services revenue includes fees earned and reimbursements received by the Company for providing construction management and general contractor services to clients. Construction services revenue is recognized on the percentage of completion method. Using this method, profits are recorded on the basis of our estimates of the overall profit and percentage of completion of individual contracts. A portion of the estimated profits is accrued based upon estimates of the percentage of completion of the construction contract. This revenue recognition method involves inherent risks relating to profit and cost estimates. Real estate services revenue includes property management, facilities management, leasing commission fees and other services, and payroll and related costs reimbursed from clients. Other income includes income from parking spaces leased to tenants, income from tenants for additional services arranged for the Company and income from tenants for early lease terminations.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:
Management periodically performs a detailed review of amounts due from tenants to determine if accounts receivable balances are impaired based on factors affecting the collectibility of those balances. Management’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts requires management to exercise significant judgment about the timing, frequency and severity of collection losses, which affects the allowance and net income.

Base rents for the Same-Store Properties increased $ 5.8 million, or 4.5 percent, for 2007 as compared to 2006, due primarily to an increase in the percentage of space leased at the properties in 2007 from 2006. Escalations and recoveries from tenants for the Same-Store Properties increased $4.4 million, or 20.9 percent, for 2007 over 2006, due primarily to an increased amount of total property expenses in 2007. Other income for the Same-Store Properties decreased $0.4 million, or 15.2 percent, due primarily to a decrease in lease breakage fees.

Real estate taxes on the Same-Store Properties increased $1.8 million, or 8.5 percent, for 2007 as compared to 2006, due primarily to property tax rate increases in certain municipalities in 2007. Utilities for the Same-Store Properties increased $2.2 million, or 15.3 percent, for 2007 as compared to 2006, due primarily to increased electric rates in 2007 as compared to 2006. Operating services for the Same-Store Properties increased $2.2 million, or 10.9 percent due primarily to increased snow removal costs of $0.7 million, increased maintenance costs of $0.7 million, increased insurance costs of $0.5 million and an increase in salaries and related expenses of $0.5 million, for 2007 as compared to 2006.

Construction services revenue amounted to $22.3 million in 2007, due to the effect of the Company’s acquisitions of The Gale Company and its related businesses (the “Gale/Green Transactions”) completed in May 2006. Real estate services increased by $2.1 million, for 2007 as compared to 2006, due primarily to the effect of the Gale/Green Transactions.

Direct construction costs totaled $20.9 million in 2007, due primarily to the effect of the Gale/Green Transactions. General and administrative expense increased by $2.3 million, or 26.2 percent, for 2007 as compared to 2006 due primarily to the effect of the Gale/Green Transactions.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $4.9 million, or 13.5 percent, for 2007 over 2006. Of this increase, $4.0 million, or 11.1 percent, is attributable to the Acquired Properties, and $0.9 million, or 2.4 percent, is attributable to the Same-Store Properties.

Interest expense decreased $0.1 million, or 0.4 percent, for 2007 as compared to 2006. This decrease was due primarily to lower average debt balances in 2007 as compared to 2006.
 
 
41


 
Interest and other investment income increased $0.2 million, or 11.9 percent, for 2007 as compared to 2006. This increase was due primarily to higher cash balances invested during the period as well as an overall increase in interest rates.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures decreased $2.5 million, or 1,003.2 percent, for 2007 as compared to 2006. The decrease was due primarily to a loss of $1.7 million in the Mack-Green joint venture, and a loss of $0.9 million in the Route 93 Portfolio.

The Company recognized a gain on sale of investment in marketable securities of $15.1 million in 2006.

Income from continuing operations before minority interest in Operating Partnership decreased to approximately $23.1 million in 2007 from $37.2 million in 2006. The decrease of approximately $14.1 million is due to the factors discussed above.

Net income available to common shareholders decreased by approximately $14.0 million, from $32.6 million in 2006 to $18.6 million in 2007. This decrease was the result of a decrease in income from continuing operations before minority interest in Operating Partnership of $14.1 million, and a decrease in income from discontinued operations of $2.5 million for 2007 as compared to 2006, partially offset by a decrease in minority interest in Operating Partnership of approximately $2.6 million.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

Overview:
Historically, rental revenue has been the principal source of funds to pay operating expenses, debt service, capital expenditures and dividends, excluding non-recurring capital expenditures. To the extent that the Company’s cash flow from operating activities is insufficient to finance its non-recurring capital expenditures such as property acquisitions, development and construction costs and other capital expenditures, the Company has and expects to continue to finance such activities through borrowings under its revolving credit facility and other debt and equity financings.

The Company believes that with the general downturn in the Company’s markets in recent years, it is reasonably likely that vacancy rates may continue to increase, effective rental rates on new and renewed leases may continue to decrease and tenant installation costs, including concessions, may continue to increase in most or all of its markets in 2007. As a result of the potential negative effects on the Company’s revenue from the overall reduced demand for office space, the Company’s cash flow could be insufficient to cover increased tenant installation costs over the short-term. If this situation were to occur, the Company expects that it would finance any shortfalls through borrowings under its revolving credit facility and other debt and equity financings.

The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements generally through its working capital, net cash provided by operating activities and from its revolving credit facility. The Company frequently examines potential property acquisitions and development projects and, at any given time, one or more of such acquisitions or development projects may be under consideration. Accordingly, the ability to fund property acquisitions and development projects is a major part of the Company’s financing requirements. The Company expects to meet its financing requirements through funds generated from operating activities, proceeds from property sales, long-term and short-term borrowings (including draws on the Company’s revolving credit facility) and the issuance of additional debt and/or equity securities.

Gale Company Earn-Out:
The agreement to acquire the Gale Company (“Gale Agreement”), which was acquired for initial purchase consideration of approximately $22.3 million on May 9, 2006, contains earn-out provisions providing for the payment of contingent purchase consideration of up to $18 million in cash based upon the achievement of Gross Income and NOI (as such terms are defined in the Gale Agreement) targets and other events for the three years following the closing date.

Construction Projects:
On February 22, 2007, the Company announced that it agreed to develop a 250,000 square-foot class A office building for Wyndham Worldwide Corporation for its corporate headquarters. The building, which Wyndham Worldwide pre-leased for 15 years, will be developed on a land site located in the Company’s Mack-Cali Business Campus in Parsippany, New Jersey.  The building is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter 2008 at a total estimated cost of approximately $64.8 million.

The Company entered into a 15-year lease with AAA Mid-Atlantic (“AAA”) for a 120,000 square foot office building being constructed by the Company in its Horizon Center Business Park located in Hamilton Township, New Jersey. The building is expected to be completed during the early part of 2007 at an estimated cost of approximately $19.2 million (of which the Company has incurred $16.5 million through April 27, 2007), which is expected to be funded through borrowings on the Company’s unsecured credit facility. Concurrent with the signing of the lease, the Company executed a purchase and sale agreement with AAA pursuant to which the Company, upon the commencement of the 120,000 square foot lease, will acquire from AAA two office buildings, totaling approximately 70,000 square feet and certain vacant, developable land, all located in Hamilton Township, New Jersey, for a total purchase price of approximately $8.8 million, subject to certain conditions.

Additionally, the Company, through a joint venture with the PRC Group, is constructing a 92,878 square-foot office property, to be known as Red Bank Corporate Plaza, located in Red Bank, New Jersey, on land contributed by its joint venture partner. The project is fully leased to Hovnanian Enterprise, Inc. for a 10-year term. The total cost of the project, which is expected to be completed in the third quarter 2007, is estimated to be approximately $27 million, of which the Company currently expects to fund approximately $3 million. On October 20, 2006, the venture entered into a $22.0 million construction loan with a commercial bank. The loan (with a balance as of March 31, 2007, of $12.7 million) carries an interest rate of LIBOR plus 130 basis points and matures in April 2008. The loan currently has three one-year extension options subject to certain conditions, each of which require payment of a fee.

The Company owns a 15 percent indirect interest in a joint venture which plans to develop approximately 1.2 million square foot mixed-use project in downtown Boston consisting of office and retail space, condominium apartments, a hotel and garage. The development project, which is subject to government approval, is currently projected to cost approximately $630 million, of which the Company is currently projected to invest a total of approximately $20.3 million (of which the Company has invested $14.9 million through April 27, 2007).

REIT Restrictions:
To maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Company must make annual distributions to its stockholders of at least 90 percent of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and by excluding net capital gains. Moreover, the Company intends to continue to make regular quarterly distributions to its common stockholders which, based upon current policy, in the aggregate would equal approximately $173.9 million on an annualized basis. However, any such distribution, whether for federal income tax purposes or otherwise, would only be paid out of available cash, including borrowings and other sources, after meeting operating requirements, preferred stock dividends and distributions, and scheduled debt service on the Company’s debt.

Property Lock-Ups:
The Company may not dispose of or distribute certain of its properties, currently comprising 50 properties with an aggregate net book value of approximately $1.3 billion, which were originally contributed by members of either the Mack Group (which includes William L. Mack, Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors; David S. Mack, director; Earle I. Mack, a former director; and Mitchell E. Hersh, president, chief executive officer and director), the Robert Martin Group (which includes Robert F. Weinberg, director; Martin S. Berger, a former director; and Timothy M. Jones, former president), the Cali Group (which includes John R. Cali, director, and John J. Cali, a former director) or certain other common unitholders, without the express written consent of a representative of the Mack Group, the Robert Martin Group, the Cali Group or the specific certain other common unitholders, as applicable, except in a manner which does not result in recognition of any built-in-gain (which may result in an income tax liability) or which reimburses the appropriate Mack Group, Robert Martin Group, Cali Group members or the specific certain other common unitholders for the tax consequences of the recognition of such built-in-gains (collectively, the “Property Lock-Ups”). The aforementioned restrictions do not apply in the event that the Company sells all of its properties or in connection with a sale transaction which the Company’s Board of Directors determines is reasonably necessary to satisfy a material monetary default on any unsecured debt, judgment or liability of the Company or to cure any material monetary default on any mortgage secured by a property. The Property Lock-Ups expire periodically through 2016. Upon the expiration of the Property Lock-Ups, the Company generally is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any sale, transfer or other disposition of the subject properties from resulting in the recognition of built-in gain to the appropriate Mack Group, Robert Martin Group, Cali Group members or the specific certain other common unitholders. 87 of our properties, with an aggregate net book value of approximately $805.8 million, have lapsed restrictions and are subject to these conditions.

(“Fitch”) have each assigned their BBB rating to existing and prospective senior unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. S&P and Fitch have also assigned their BBB- rating to existing and prospective preferred stock offerings of the Company.

Senior Unsecured Notes:
The terms of the Company’s senior unsecured notes (which totaled approximately $1.6 billion as of March 31, 2007) include certain restrictions and covenants which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum amount of debt leverage, the maximum amount of secured indebtedness, the minimum amount of debt service coverage and the maximum amount of unsecured debt as a percent of unsecured assets.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility:
The Company has an unsecured revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $600 million (expandable to $800 million). The interest rate on outstanding borrowings (not electing the Company’s competitive bid feature) under the unsecured facility is currently LIBOR plus 65 basis points. The facility has a competitive bid feature, which allows the Company to solicit bids from lenders under the facility to borrow up to $300 million at interest rates less than the current LIBOR plus 65 basis point spread. The Company may also elect an interest rate representing the higher of the lender’s prime rate or the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points. The unsecured facility, which also requires a 15 basis point facility fee on the current borrowing capacity payable quarterly in arrears, is scheduled to mature in November 2009 and has an extension option of one year, which would require a payment of 25 basis points of the then borrowing capacity of the facility upon exercise. As of March 31, 2007, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its unsecured facility.

The interest rate and the facility fee are subject to adjustment, on a sliding scale, based upon the operating partnership’s unsecured debt ratings. In the event of a change in the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt rating, the interest and facility fee rates will be adjusted in accordance with the following table:

If the Operating Partnership has debt ratings from only one agency, it will be considered to have no rating or less than BBB-/Baa3/BBB- per the above table.

The terms of the unsecured facility include certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things, the payment of dividends (as discussed below), the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the incurrence of liens and the disposition of real estate properties (to the extent that: (i) such property dispositions cause the Company to default on any of the financial ratios of the facility described below, or (ii) the property dispositions are completed while the Company is under an event of default under the facility, unless, under certain circumstances, such disposition is being carried out to cure such default), and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum leverage ratio, the maximum amount of secured indebtedness, the minimum amount of tangible net worth, the minimum amount of fixed charge coverage, the maximum amount of unsecured indebtedness, the minimum amount of unencumbered property interest coverage and certain investment limitations. The dividend restriction referred to above provides that, except to enable the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code, the Company will not during any four consecutive fiscal quarters make distributions with respect to common stock or other common equity interests in an aggregate amount in excess of 90 percent of funds from operations (as defined in the facility agreement) for such period, subject to certain other adjustments.

The lending group for the unsecured facility consists of: JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent; Bank of America, N. A., as syndication agent; The Bank of Nova Scotia, New York Agency; Wachovia Bank, National Association; and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as documentation agents; SunTrust Bank, as senior managing agent; US Bank National Association; Citicorp North America, Inc.; and PNC Bank National Association, as managing agents; and Bank of China, New York Branch; The Bank of New York; Chevy Chase Bank, F.S.B.; The Royal Bank of Scotland, plc; Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd.; UFJ Bank Limited, New York Branch; The Governor and Company of the Bank of Ireland; Bank Hapoalim B.M.; Comerica Bank; Chang Hwa Commercial Bank, Ltd., New York Branch; First Commercial Bank, New York Agency; Chiao Tung Bank Co., Ltd., New York Agency; Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas; and Hua Nan Commercial Bank, New York Agency.

Mortgages, Loans Payable and Other Obligations:
The Company has mortgages, loans payable and other obligations which consist of various loans collateralized by certain of the Company’s rental properties. Payments on mortgages, loans payable and other obligations are generally due in monthly installments of principal and interest, or interest only.

On February 5, 2007, the Company repaid its $9.4 million loan with Allstate Life Insurance Company collateralized by 200 Riser Road, which was scheduled to mature on April 1, 2007, at par, using available cash.

On February 15, 2007, the Company repaid its $5.9 million loan with State Farm Life Insurance Company collateralized by 6303 Ivy Lane, which was scheduled to mature on July 1, 2007, at par, using available cash.

Debt Strategy:
The Company does not intend to reserve funds to retire the Company’s senior unsecured notes or its mortgages, loans payable and other obligations upon maturity. Instead, the Company will seek to refinance such debt at maturity or retire such debt through the issuance of additional equity or debt securities on or before the applicable maturity dates. If it cannot raise sufficient proceeds to retire the maturing debt, the Company may draw on its revolving credit facility to retire the maturing indebtedness, which would reduce the future availability of funds under such facility. As of April 27, 2007, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company is reviewing various refinancing options, including the purchase of its senior unsecured notes in privately-negotiated transactions, the issuance of additional, or exchange of current, unsecured debt, preferred stock, and/or obtaining additional mortgage debt, some or all of which may be completed during 2007. The Company anticipates that its available cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operating activities, together with cash available from borrowings and other sources, will be adequate to meet the Company’s capital and liquidity needs both in the short and long-term. However, if these sources of funds are insufficient or unavailable, the Company’s ability to make the expected distributions discussed below may be adversely affected.

Inflation

The Company’s leases with the majority of its tenants provide for recoveries and escalation charges based upon the tenant’s proportionate share of, and/or increases in, real estate taxes and certain operating costs, which reduce the Company’s exposure to increases in operating costs resulting from inflation.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We consider portions of this information, including the documents incorporated by reference, to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 21E of such act. Such forward-looking statements relate to, without limitation, our future economic performance, plans and objectives for future operations and projections of revenue and other financial items. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “plan,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue” or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which we cannot predict with accuracy and some of which we might not even anticipate. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions at the time made, we can give no assurance that such expectations will be achieved. Future events and actual results, financial and otherwise, may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Among the factors about which we have made assumptions are:

·   
changes in the general economic climate and conditions, including those affecting industries in which our principal tenants compete;
   
·   
the extent of any tenant bankruptcies or of any early lease terminations;
   
·   
our ability to lease or re-lease space at current or anticipated rents;
   
·   
changes in the supply of and demand for office, office/flex and industrial/warehouse properties;
   
·   
changes in interest rate levels;
   
·   
changes in operating costs;
   
·   
our ability to obtain adequate insurance, including coverage for terrorist acts;
   
·   
the availability of financing;
   
·   
changes in governmental regulation, tax rates and similar matters; and
   
·   
other risks associated with the development and acquisition of properties, including risks that the development may not be completed on schedule, that the tenants will not take occupancy or pay rent, or that development or operating costs may be greater than anticipated.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. In pursuing its business plan, the primary market risk to which the Company is exposed is interest rate risk. Changes in the general level of interest rates prevailing in the financial markets may affect the spread between the Company’s yield on invested assets and cost of funds and, in turn, its ability to make distributions or payments to its investors.

Approximately $2.0 billion of the Company’s long-term debt and other obligations bears interest at fixed rates and therefore the fair value of these instruments is affected by changes in market interest rates. The following table presents principal cash flows   based upon maturity dates of the debt obligations and the related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates for the fixed rate debt.

While the Company has not experienced any significant credit losses, in the event of a significant rising interest rate environment and/or economic downturn, defaults could increase and result in losses to the Company which could adversely affect its operating results and liquidity.

At Closing, Purchaser shall seek to have title to the Property insured at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense (except for such affirmative coverages for which Purchaser is entitled pursuant to this Agreement at no additional cost or special premium) by Land America or such other nationally recognized title insurer (the “ Additional Title Company ”) as Purchaser may designate (Land America or the Additional Title Insurance Company, in such capacity, the “ Title Company ”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Additional Title Company is unwilling to omit or provide affirmative insurance for any exception which Land America will omit or insure, or is not willing to accept any affidavits, proofs or releases that Land America will accept, Purchaser shall purchase not less than 50% of its title insurance from Land America and Land America shall be the “lead insurer”. Purchaser agrees that the Existing Title Report contains no exceptions to title to the Property which are not covered by the exceptions to title set forth in Section 2.1 hereof and “subject to” which Purchaser is not required to accept title, and irrevocably accepts the Existing Title Report and unconditionally waives any right to object to any matters set forth therein except as expressly set forth above.

(b)    If, after the date hereof, Purchaser learns, through the Title Report, continuation reports or other written updates thereto, of any title defect(s) which Purchaser claims are not covered by Section 2.1 hereof and “subject to” which Purchaser believes it is not required to accept title, Purchaser shall give written notice thereof to Seller promptly after the date Purchaser receives such continuation report or other written update and Purchaser shall be deemed to have unconditionally waived any such matters as to which it fails to give such written notice to Seller within five (5) Business Days after the date Purchaser receives such continuation report or other written update. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE with respect to all time periods set forth in this Section 2.2.

2.3    If, on the Closing Date, Seller is unable to convey to Purchaser title to the Property subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled, upon notice delivered to Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), to reasonable adjournments of the Closing one or more times for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days in the aggregate, but in no event beyond the Outside Closing Date to enable Seller to convey such title to the Property. If, on or before the date then scheduled for Closing, Seller does not so elect to adjourn the Closing, or if at the adjourned date Seller is unable to convey title subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, Purchaser may (a) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent (as hereinafter defined) delivered on the date scheduled for Closing, in which event Escrow Agent shall repay to Purchaser the Downpayment (as hereinafter defined), together with any interest earned thereon or return to Purchaser the Downpayment LC (a “ Downpayment Return ”), or (b) elect to close title to the Property upon the terms set forth in Section 2.4 by notice given to Seller, in which event the Closing shall occur no later than three (3) Business Days following such election, but in no event later than the Outside Closing Date. The failure by Purchaser to make an election within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date shall be deemed an election not to close title to the Property and to terminate this Agreement. If Purchaser shall elect, or be deemed to have elected, to terminate this Agreement, upon the Downpayment Return, this Agreement shall be deemed canceled and become void and of no further effect, and neither party hereto shall have any obligations of any nature to the other hereunder or by reason hereof, except that the provisions of Sections 12, 13, 23 and 29   hereof shall survive such termination. If Seller elects to adjourn the Closing as provided above, this Agreement shall remain in effect for the period or periods of adjournment in accordance with its terms. Seller shall not be required to take or bring any action or proceeding or any other steps to remove any defect in or objection to title or to fulfill any condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement or to expend any moneys therefor, nor shall Purchaser have any right of action against Seller therefor, at law or in equity, except that notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall pay, discharge or remove of record or cause to be paid, discharged or removed of record at Seller’s sole cost and expense all of the following items: (i) Voluntary Liens (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) liens encumbering the Property which (v) are not Voluntary Liens, (w) are not the responsibility of either a Space Lessee under its Space Lease or the Board of Managers (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to the Condominium Documents to pay, discharge or remove of record, (x) are in liquidated amounts, (y) may be satisfied solely by the payment of money (including the preparation or filing of appropriate satisfaction instruments in connection therewith) and (z) do not exceed $500,000.00 in the aggregate (the “ Title Cure Cost Limit ”). The term “ Voluntary Liens ” as used herein shall mean liens and other encumbrances (other than Permitted Exceptions), whether or not in liquidated sums, which Seller has knowingly and intentionally suffered or allowed to be placed on the Property after the date hereof (which excludes judgments, Violations (as hereinafter defined) and federal, state and municipal tax liens).

2.4    Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.3 above to the contrary, Purchaser may at any time accept such title as Seller can convey, without reduction of the Purchase Price (as hereinafter defined) or any credit or allowance on account thereof or any claim against Seller, except that Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the actual cost of curing all defects in or objections to title to the Property that Seller is obligated to cure pursuant to Section 2.3 but has not cured, and (b) the Title Cure Cost Limit less any amounts expended by Seller in curing defects or objections to title. The acceptance of the Deeds (as hereinafter defined) by Purchaser shall be deemed to be full performance of, and discharge of, every agreement and obligation on Seller’s part to be performed under this Agreement, except for such matters which are expressly stated in this Agreement to survive the Closing.
 
2.5    The amount of any unpaid taxes, assessments and water and sewer charges which Seller is obligated to pay and discharge, with interest and penalties, may at the option of Seller be paid by Purchaser out of the balance of the Purchase Price, if official bills therefor with interest and penalties thereon figured to said date are furnished to or obtained by the Title Company at the Closing for payment thereof and the Title Company omits from the Title Policy any exception therefor.
 
2.6    If the Property shall, at the time of the Closing, be subject to any liens such as for judgments or transfer, inheritance, estate, franchise, license or other similar taxes or any encumbrances or other title exceptions which would be grounds for Purchaser to reject title hereunder, the same shall not be deemed an objection to title provided that, at the Closing, Seller pays, by Wire Transferred Funds (as hereinafter defined) the amount required to satisfy the same, or at Seller’s option, allows Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount sufficient to (a) cause the Title Company at the Closing to omit the same as an exception to the Title Policy (without payment of any special premium) and (b) to satisfy and discharge of record such liens and encumbrances together with the cost of recording or filing such instruments required in connection therewith.
 
2.7    Other than with respect to such endorsements as may be required in order to render title in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for causing the Title Company, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense to issue any endorsements that Purchaser requires, and the issuance of such endorsements, except as aforesaid, shall not be a condition precedent to Closing or Purchaser’s obligation to perform as required hereunder.

5.7    In the event the fines associated with curing Contract Period Violations exceed the Violations Cap, then Purchaser shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to either (a) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent in which event Escrow Agent shall repay to Purchaser the Downpayment, together with any interest earned thereon or return to Purchaser the Downpayment L/C or (b) elect to close title to the Property without any adjustment to the Purchase Price; provided however that in the event that Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (a) above, Seller shall have the right, by written notice to Purchaser delivered not later than five (5) business days after Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s termination notice, to elect to cause Purchaser to close title to the Property and receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount by which the fines associated with curing the Contract Period Violations exceed the Violations Cap, in which event Purchaser’s termination notice shall be null and void and Purchaser shall be obligated to close title hereunder.
 
 
14

 
5.8    The provisions of this Section 5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the Closing and shall not be deemed to have merged into any of the documents executed or delivered at the Closing.
 
6.    Apportionments .
 
6.1    At the Closing, the following items shall be apportioned between the parties as of 11:59 PM on the day preceding the Closing Date. Except as hereinafter expressly provided, all prorations shall be done on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year and the actual number of days elapsed to the Closing Date or the actual number of days in the month in which the Closing occurs, as applicable. Any errors in the apportionments pursuant to this Section 6 shall be corrected by appropriate re-adjustment between Seller and Purchaser post-Closing, provided that notice of any such error, with supporting calculations, shall be given by Purchaser to Seller or by Seller to Purchaser, as the case may be, no later than one (1) year after the Closing, and all such apportionments shall be deemed final as of such date. Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, all apportionments shall be made in the manner recommended by the Customs in Respect to Title Closings of the Real Estate Board of New York, Inc., and there shall be no other apportionments. The items to be apportioned are:
 
6.1.1    (a) Fixed rent (including electricity, if applicable) under Space Leases (“ Fixed Rent ”) which is collected on or prior to the Closing in respect of the month in which the Closing occurs (the “ Current Month ”), shall be apportioned on a per diem basis based upon the number of days in the Current Month prior to the Closing Date (which shall be allocated to Seller) and the number of days in the Current Month on and after the Closing Date (which shall be allocated to Purchaser). If, at the Closing, any Fixed Rent is unpaid subject to clause (c) below, payments of Fixed Rent thereafter received from such Space Lessee shall be applied and disbursed in the following order and priority:
 
 
15

 
(i)    First, on account of Fixed Rent owing by such Space Lessee in respect of the Current Month, to be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser as provided in Section 6.1.1(a);
 
(ii)    Next, to Purchaser, in an amount equal to all other Fixed Rent owing by such Space Lessee in respect of all periods after the Current Month;
 
(iii)    Next, to Seller, in an amount equal to all other Fixed Rent owing by such Space Lessee in respect of all periods prior to the Current Month; and
 
(iv)    The balance, if any, to Purchaser.
 
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. Seller shall have the right from time to time for a period of three hundred sixty-five (365) days following the Closing, on reasonable prior notice to Purchaser, to review Purchaser’s rental records with respect to the Property to ascertain the accuracy of such accountings. All such reviews shall be conducted at Purchaser’s place of business during normal business hours at no cost or expense to Purchaser and in a manner which does not interfere with Purchaser’s business operations or those of its tenants. Purchaser shall have the right from time to time for a period of three hundred sixty-five (365) days following the Closing, on reasonable prior notice to Seller, to review Seller’s rental records with respect to the Property to ascertain the accuracy of such accountings. All such reviews shall be conducted at Seller’s place of business during normal business hours at no cost or expense to Seller and in a manner which does not interfere with Seller’s business operations or those of its tenants.
 
(b)    If the Closing shall occur prior to the time when any rental payments for fuel pass-alongs, so-called escalation rent or charges based upon real estate taxes, operating expenses, labor costs, cost of living or consumer price increases, a percentage of sales or like items (collectively, “ Overage Rent ”) are payable for any period which includes the period prior to the Closing, then such Overage Rent for the applicable accounting period in which the Closing occurs shall be apportioned subsequent to the Closing. Purchaser agrees that it will receive in trust and pay over to Seller, within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s receipt thereof, a pro-rated amount of such Overage Rent paid subsequent to the Closing by such Space Lessee based upon the portion of such accounting period which occurs prior to the Closing (to the extent not theretofore collected by Seller on account of such Overage Rent prior to the Closing), and shall account to Seller in respect of the same. If, prior to the Closing, Seller shall collect any sums on account of Overage Rent or fixed rent for a year or other period, or any portion of such year or other period, beginning prior but ending subsequent to the Closing, such sums shall be apportioned at the Closing as of the date of the Closing.
 
 
16

 
(c)    Overage Rent prepaid by Space Lessees or otherwise payable by Space Lessees based on an estimated amount and subject to adjustment or reconciliation pursuant to the related Space Leases subsequent to the Closing shall be apportioned as provided in Section 6.1.1(b) hereof and shall be re-apportioned as and when the related Space Lessee’s actual obligation for such Overage Rent is reconciled pursuant to the related Space Lease. Purchaser and Seller shall jointly determine whether the items constituting Overage Rent have been overbilled or underbilled with respect to accounting periods prior to or in which the Closing occurs. If Purchaser and Seller determine (subject to any protest rights of any Space Lessee) that there has been an overbilling and an overbilled amount has been received, Purchaser shall reimburse or credit against Overage Rent next coming due such amount to the Space Lessees which paid the excess amount and the parties shall contribute to such reimbursement in the respective proportions in which the applicable overbilled Overage Rents were previously apportioned between the parties as provided in Section 6.1.1(b). If Purchaser and Seller determine (subject to any protest rights of any Space Lessee) that there has been an underbilling, the additional amount may be billed to the Space Lessees who are determined to owe such additional amount, and the parties shall apportion such amount(s) so received in the respective proportions in which Overage Rents were previously apportioned between the parties as provided in Section 6.1.1(b). If Purchaser fails or refuses to seek Seller’s approval of any determination as to the existence of any underbilling or overbilling and unilaterally makes such determination, Seller shall have no obligation to contribute toward any reimbursement of Space Lessees made by Purchaser and Seller shall be entitled to recover from Purchaser Seller’s proportionate share of any underbilled amount established by Seller.
 
(d)    Amounts payable by Space Lessees in respect of overtime heat, air conditioning or other utilities or services, freight elevator charges, supplemental water, HVAC and condenser charges, services or repairs and labor costs associated therewith, above standard cleaning and all other items which are payable to Seller as reimbursement or payment for above standard overtime services whether pursuant to such Space Lessee’s Space Lease or pursuant to a separate agreement with Seller (collectively “ Reimburseables ”) shall not be adjusted, and shall, subject to clause (c) above, belong to the party furnishing such utilities, labor or services to such Space Lessee.
 
(e)    If any Space Lessee expressly identifies any payment of Post Closing Rent as a payment made to be in respect of a period prior to the Closing, or such payment of Post Closing Rent is otherwise determinable from the context of such payment as being in respect of a period prior to the Closing ( e.g. , it is accompanied by an invoice for an item of Fixed Rent or Overage Rent in such amount), then, provided that at the time of such payment such Space Lessee is current for the period following the Closing in the payment of (i) Fixed Rent, and (ii) that portion of Overage Rent relating to real estate taxes, the payment (or portion thereof) so identified shall be remitted by Purchaser to Seller (subject to apportionment if in respect of the Current Month).
 
 
17

 
(f)    All unapplied security deposits and advance rentals in the nature of security deposits paid by Space Lessees (or any predecessor thereof) pursuant to Space Leases (“ Security Deposits ”) which are described in Exhibit D , shall be delivered to Purchaser at the Closing or, at the option of Seller, Security Deposits held in cash at Closing shall be credited toward the Purchase Price. Any transfer fees or charges due in respect of the assignment and/or replacement of any unapplied security deposit comprised of a letter of credit (a “ Security LC ”) shall be borne by Seller. To the extent that any Security LC shall not be transferable as of the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other following the Closing so as to transfer the same to Purchaser or to obtain a replacement letter of credit with respect thereto in favor of Purchaser as soon as practicable after the Closing. Seller shall deliver any such Security LC to Purchaser at the Closing and until any such Security LC shall be transferred or replaced, Seller shall, within two (2) Business Days of receipt of Purchaser’s certification that an event has occurred under the applicable Space Lease entitling the landlord thereunder to apply the Security Deposit, draw upon the same and deliver the proceeds to Purchaser for Purchaser’s application in accordance with the applicable Space Lease provided that such certification of Purchaser shall contain an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller, whereby Purchaser indemnifies and holds Seller harmless from and against any and all obligations, liabilities, claims, demands, losses, damages, causes of action, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising in connection with such drawing. The provisions of this Section 6.1.1(g) shall survive the Closing.
 
(g)    (i)   For a period not to exceed six (6) months subsequent to the Closing, Purchaser agrees that it shall include in its regular rent statements to Space Lessees the amount of any Fixed Rent and Overage Rent due to Seller pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be required to institute legal proceedings for the collection of such sums or incur any additional expense in connection therewith.

The proceeds of rent interruption insurance, if any, shall on the Closing Date be appropriately apportioned between Purchaser and Seller.
 
11.5    Nothing contained in this Section 11 shall be construed to impose upon Seller any obligation to repair any damage or destruction caused by fire or other casualty or condemnation.
 
11.6    For purposes of this Section 11 , (a) a taking of a material part of a Unit shall mean any taking which, in Purchaser’s reasonable opinion, leaves remaining a balance of the Unit which may not be economically operated (after appropriate restoration) for the purpose for which the Unit was operated or intended to be operated prior to such taking, taking into account the Purchase Price to be paid by Purchaser and (b) taking of a material part of the Building shall mean any taking of an area which is more than fifteen percent (15%) of the aggregate rentable area of the Building.
 
11.7      In the event that Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.2 above, or upon the occurrence of the events set forth in Section 11.4 (a) or (b) above, Seller and Purchaser shall jointly negotiate with insurers and any condemning authority regarding the amount of any insurance proceeds and/or any condemnation awards payable in respect thereof. Seller shall not contest, settle or compromise any claim without Purchaser’s approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

Purchaser shall provide all other documentation required by Existing Lender as may be necessary to permit such assignment and assumption. Seller agrees to cooperate, at no cost to Seller, in good faith, with Purchaser in connection with Purchaser’s efforts to obtain Lender’s Consent. In the event that Existing Lender or the servicer acting on behalf of Existing Lender in connection with the Existing Financing (“ Servicer ”) requires payment of a deposit or fee in connection with the submission of the request for Lender’s Consent and/or the due diligence to obtain Lender’s Consent, Purchaser and Seller shall each pay one-half of any such deposit or fee.

Purchaser shall send to Seller copies of all correspondence and enclosures to or from Lender (i) within two (2) business days of Purchaser’s receipt of same from Existing Lender and (ii) contemporaneously with Purchaser’s delivery of same to Existing Lender. Nothing contained herein shall create, or be deemed to create, a mortgage or other contingency for the benefit of Purchaser.
 
 
49

 
35.2    In the event the Closing occurs on the Outside Closing Date then, at Closing, Seller agrees that if Purchaser shall so elect by written notice Seller shall, at no cost to Seller, use reasonable efforts to have the indebtedness consisting of the outstanding principal balance of the Existing Indebtedness assigned to a mortgage lender selected by Purchaser to provide Purchaser with financing for the purchase of the Units. Purchaser shall provide all other documentation required by Existing Lender as may be necessary to permit such assignment. Seller agrees to cooperate, at no cost to Seller, in good faith, with Purchaser in connection with requesting and obtaining such assignment. Nothing contained herein shall create, or be deemed to create, a mortgage or other contingency for the benefit of Purchaser.
 
36.    Correction and Confirmatory Amendment .

The Correction/Confirmatory Amendment shall be prepared by or on behalf of Purchaser and approved by Seller, and shall, to the extent required, provide for (a) the consent by the applicable unit owners and such other parties as may be required by the Declaration to the recording of the Third, Fourth and Fifth Amendments to the Declaration, which established Units A and C as well as all portions of Commercial Units B, F and G in the Condominium (all such Commercial Units are collectively, the “ Affected Units ”), as currently configured; and (b) the ratification and confirmation by the appropriate parties as required by the Declaration, that each such Affected Unit, together with such Affected Unit's proportionate, undivided interest in the common elements of the Condominium, are validly established and existing. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that neither the execution, delivery or recordation of the Correction/Confirmatory Amendment shall be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close hereunder and that Seller shall have no liability whatsoever if the Correction/Confirmatory Amendment is not executed, delivered or recorded prior to or after Closing. This Section 36 shall survive the Closing.

Purchaser agrees that the Existing Title Report contains no exceptions to title to the Property which are not covered by the exceptions to title set forth in Section 2.1 hereof and “subject to” which Purchaser is not required to accept title, and irrevocably accepts the Existing Title Report and unconditionally waives any right to object to any matters set forth therein except as expressly set forth above. Purchaser shall instruct the Title Company to forward a copy of the Title Report and any updates thereto to Seller’s counsel simultaneously with delivery thereof to Purchaser.
 
(b)    If, after the date hereof, Purchaser learns, through the Title Report, continuation reports or other written updates thereto, of any title defect(s) which Purchaser claims are not covered by Section 2.1 hereof and “subject to” which Purchaser believes it is not required to accept title, Purchaser shall give written notice thereof to Seller promptly after the date Purchaser receives such continuation report or other written update and Purchaser shall be deemed to have unconditionally waived any such matters as to which it fails to give such written notice to Seller within five (5) Business Days after the date Purchaser receives such continuation report or other written update. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE with respect to all time periods set forth in this Section 2.2.

2.3    If, on the Closing Date, Seller is unable to convey to Purchaser title to the Property subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled, upon notice delivered to Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), to reasonable adjournments of the Closing one or more times for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days in the aggregate, but in no event beyond the Outside Closing Date to enable Seller to convey such title to the Property. If, on or before the date then scheduled for Closing, Seller does not so elect to adjourn the Closing, or if at the adjourned date Seller is unable to convey title subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, Purchaser may (a) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent (as hereinafter defined) delivered on the date scheduled for Closing, in which event Escrow Agent shall repay to Purchaser the Downpayment (as hereinafter defined), together with any interest earned thereon or return to Purchaser the Downpayment LC (a “ Downpayment Return ”), or (b) elect to close title to the Property upon the terms set forth in Section 2.4 by notice given to Seller, in which event the Closing shall occur no later than three (3) Business Days following such election, but in no event later than the Outside Closing Date. The failure by Purchaser to make an election within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date shall be deemed an election not to close title to the Property and to terminate this Agreement. If Purchaser shall elect, or be deemed to have elected, to terminate this Agreement, upon the Downpayment Return, this Agreement shall be deemed canceled and become void and of no further effect, and neither party hereto shall have any obligations of any nature to the other hereunder or by reason hereof, except that the provisions of Sections 12, 13, 23 and 29   hereof shall survive such termination. If Seller elects to adjourn the Closing as provided above, this Agreement shall remain in effect for the period or periods of adjournment in accordance with its terms. Seller shall not be required to take or bring any action or proceeding or any other steps to remove any defect in or objection to title or to fulfill any condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement or to expend any moneys therefor, nor shall Purchaser have any right of action against Seller therefor, at law or in equity, except that notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall pay, discharge or remove of record or cause to be paid, discharged or removed of record at Seller’s sole cost and expense all of the following items: (i) Voluntary Liens (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) liens encumbering the Property which (v) are not Voluntary Liens, (w) are not the responsibility of either a Space Lessee under its Space Lease to pay, discharge or remove of record, (x) are in liquidated amounts, (y) may be satisfied solely by the payment of money (including the preparation or filing of appropriate satisfaction instruments in connection therewith) and (z) do not exceed $102,500.00 in the aggregate (the “ Title Cure Cost Limit ”). The term “ Voluntary Liens ” as used herein shall mean liens and other encumbrances (other than Permitted Exceptions), whether or not in liquidated sums, which Seller has knowingly and intentionally suffered or allowed to be placed on the Property after the date hereof (which excludes judgments, Violations (as hereinafter defined) and federal, state and municipal tax liens).
 
 
5

 
2.4    Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.3 above to the contrary, Purchaser may at any time accept such title as Seller can convey, without reduction of the Purchase Price (as hereinafter defined) or any credit or allowance on account thereof or any claim against Seller, except that Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the actual cost of curing all defects in or objections to title to the Property that Seller is obligated to cure pursuant to Section 2.3 but has not cured, and (b) the Title Cure Cost Limit less any amounts expended by Seller in curing defects or objections to title. The acceptance of the Deed (as hereinafter defined) by Purchaser shall be deemed to be full performance of, and discharge of, every agreement and obligation on Seller’s part to be performed under this Agreement, except for such matters which are expressly stated in this Agreement to survive the Closing.
 
2.5    The amount of any unpaid taxes, assessments and water and sewer charges which Seller is obligated to pay and discharge, with interest and penalties, may at the option of Seller be paid by Purchaser out of the balance of the Purchase Price, if official bills therefor with interest and penalties thereon figured to said date are furnished to or obtained by the Title Company at the Closing for payment thereof and the Title Company omits from the Title Policy any exception therefor.
 
2.6    If the Property shall, at the time of the Closing, be subject to any liens such as for judgments or transfer, inheritance, estate, franchise, license or other similar taxes or any encumbrances or other title exceptions which would be grounds for Purchaser to reject title hereunder, the same shall not be deemed an objection to title provided that, at the Closing, Seller pays, by Wire Transferred Funds (as hereinafter defined) the amount required to satisfy the same, or at Seller’s option, allows Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount sufficient to (a) cause the Title Company at the Closing to omit the same as an exception to the Title Policy (without payment of any special premium) and (b) to satisfy and discharge of record such liens and encumbrances together with the cost of recording or filing such instruments required in connection therewith.
 
2.7    Other than with respect to such endorsements as may be required in order to render title in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for causing the Title Company, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense to issue any endorsements that Purchaser requires, and the issuance of such endorsements, except as aforesaid, shall not be a condition precedent to Closing or Purchaser’s obligation to perform as required hereunder.

Interest earned on the Downpayment shall not be credited toward the Purchase Price at Closing and shall, upon the Closing, be and remain the property of Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right at any time prior to Closing to substitute the Downpayment by providing Escrow Agent with a clean irrevocable non-documentary Letter of Credit payable on sight draft only, with a term of not less than one year and otherwise reasonably acceptable to Escrow Agent naming Escrow Agent as beneficiary in the full amount of the Downpayment issued by a nationally recognized money-center bank which is a member of the New York clearinghouse, in form reasonably satisfactory to Seller (a “ Downpayment LC ”).

3.2.3    The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the value of the Personal Property and the Intangible Personal Property is de minimis and that no part of the Purchase Price is allocable thereto.
 
3.3    Subject to Section 23.1.3, whenever in this Agreement Purchaser is entitled to a return of the Downpayment, Purchaser shall be entitled to the return of the Downpayment actually being held by Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement, together with all interest earned thereon or, if Purchaser has provided a Downpayment LC, return of the Downpayment LC.

5.4    Subject to Section 2.1.11, Purchaser shall accept title to the Property at Closing subject to any and all Violations (whether or not of record), including, without limitation, those which are the express obligation of a Space Lessee under its Space Lease to be cured and removed of record.
 
5.5    Purchaser has relied solely upon Purchaser’s own knowledge of the Property based on Purchaser’s due diligence in determining the Property’s physical condition. Except as expressly set forth in this A greement to the contrary, Purchaser releases Seller, the Seller Related Parties and their respective successors and assigns from and against any and all claims which Purchaser or any party related to or affiliated with Purchaser (each, a “ Purchaser Related Party ”) has or may have arising from or related to any matter or thing related to or in connection with the Property including the documents and information referred to herein, the Space Leases and the Space Lessees thereunder, any construction defects, errors or omissions in the design or construction and any environmental conditions, and, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Purchaser nor any Purchaser Related Party shall look to Seller, the Seller Related Parties or their respective successors and assigns in connection with the foregoing for any redress or relief.

5.6    Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser’s due diligence included the opportunity to assess the financial status and credit quality of the Space Lessees. Seller is making no warranties regarding the financial status or credit quality of any Space Lessee either currently or at Closing, and Purchaser assumes the risk between the date hereof and the Closing of any diminution of the financial status or credit quality or any bankruptcy of any Space Lessee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser assumes the risk that between the date hereof and the Closing Date (i) any Space Lessee may default of its obligations under its Space Lease, or may increase the period of its delinquency in payment of rent, and Seller may terminate the applicable Space Lease on account thereof, or (ii) any Space Lease may be rejected in a bankruptcy proceeding of a Space Lessee, and any such default, termination or rejection shall not constitute or contribute to a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller under this Agreement or to the failure of a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close title hereunder, nor shall Purchaser be entitled to any reduction of the Purchase Price on account thereof.
 
5.7    In the event the fines associated with curing Contract Period Violations exceed the Violations Cap, then Purchaser shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to either (a) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent in which event Escrow Agent shall repay to Purchaser the Downpayment, together with any interest earned thereon or return to Purchaser the Downpayment L/C or (b) elect to close title to the Property without any adjustment to the Purchase Price; provided however that in the event that Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (a) above, Seller shall have the right, by written notice to Purchaser delivered not later than five (5) business days after Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s termination notice, to elect to cause Purchaser to close title to the Property and receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount by which the fines associated with curing the Contract Period Violations exceed the Violations Cap, in which event Purchaser’s termination notice shall be null and void and Purchaser shall be obligated to close title hereunder.
 
 
12

 
5.8    The provisions of this Section 5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the Closing and shall not be deemed to have merged into any of the documents executed or delivered at the Closing.
 
6.    Apportionments .
 
6.1    At the Closing, the following items shall be apportioned between the parties as of 11:59 PM on the day preceding the Closing Date. Except as hereinafter expressly provided, all prorations shall be done on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year and the actual number of days elapsed to the Closing Date or the actual number of days in the month in which the Closing occurs, as applicable. Any errors in the apportionments pursuant to this Section 6 shall be corrected by appropriate re-adjustment between Seller and Purchaser post-Closing, provided that notice of any such error, with supporting calculations, shall be given by Purchaser to Seller or by Seller to Purchaser, as the case may be, no later than one (1) year after the Closing, and all such apportionments shall be deemed final as of such date. Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, all apportionments shall be made in the manner recommended by the Customs in Respect to Title Closings of the Real Estate Board of New York, Inc., and there shall be no other apportionments. The items to be apportioned are:
 
6.1.1    (a)      Fixed rent (including electricity, if applicable) under Space Leases (“ Fixed Rent ”) which is collected on or prior to the Closing in respect of the month in which the Closing occurs (the “ Current Month ”), shall be apportioned on a per diem basis based upon the number of days in the Current Month prior to the Closing Date (which shall be allocated to Seller) and the number of days in the Current Month on and after the Closing Date (which shall be allocated to Purchaser). If, at the Closing, any Fixed Rent is unpaid subject to clause (c) below, payments of Fixed Rent thereafter received from such Space Lessee shall be applied and disbursed in the following order and priority:
 
(i)    First, on account of Fixed Rent owing by such Space Lessee in respect of the Current Month, to be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser as provided in Section 6.1.1(a);
 
 
13

 
(ii)    Next, to Purchaser, in an amount equal to all other Fixed Rent owing by such Space Lessee in respect of all periods after the Current Month;
 
(iii)    Next, to Seller, in an amount equal to all other Fixed Rent owing by such Space Lessee in respect of all periods prior to the Current Month; and
 
(iv)    The balance, if any, to Purchaser.
 
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. Seller shall have the right from time to time for a period of three hundred sixty-five (365) days following the Closing, on reasonable prior notice to Purchaser, to review Purchaser’s rental records with respect to the Property to ascertain the accuracy of such accountings. All such reviews shall be conducted at Purchaser’s place of business during normal business hours at no cost or expense to Purchaser and in a manner which does not interfere with Purchaser’s business operations or those of its tenants. Purchaser shall have the right from time to time for a period of three hundred sixty-five (365) days following the Closing, on reasonable prior notice to Seller, to review Seller’s rental records with respect to the Property to ascertain the accuracy of such accountings. All such reviews shall be conducted at Seller’s place of business during normal business hours at no cost or expense to Seller and in a manner which does not interfere with Seller’s business operations or those of its tenants.
 
(b)    If the Closing shall occur prior to the time when any rental payments for fuel pass-alongs, so-called escalation rent or charges based upon real estate taxes, operating expenses, labor costs, cost of living or consumer price increases, a percentage of sales or like items (collectively, “ Overage Rent ”) are payable for any period which includes the period prior to the Closing, then such Overage Rent for the applicable accounting period in which the Closing occurs shall be apportioned subsequent to the Closing. Purchaser agrees that it will receive in trust and pay over to Seller, within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s receipt thereof, a pro-rated amount of such Overage Rent paid subsequent to the Closing by such Space Lessee based upon the portion of such accounting period which occurs prior to the Closing (to the extent not theretofore collected by Seller on account of such Overage Rent prior to the Closing), and shall account to Seller in respect of the same. If, prior to the Closing, Seller shall collect any sums on account of Overage Rent or fixed rent for a year or other period, or any portion of such year or other period, beginning prior but ending subsequent to the Closing, such sums shall be apportioned at the Closing as of the date of the Closing.
 
(c)    Overage Rent prepaid by Space Lessees or otherwise payable by Space Lessees based on an estimated amount and subject to adjustment or reconciliation pursuant to the related Space Leases subsequent to the Closing shall be apportioned as provided in Section 6.1.1(b) hereof and shall be re-apportioned as and when the related Space Lessee’s actual obligation for such Overage Rent is reconciled pursuant to the related Space Lease. Purchaser and Seller shall jointly determine whether the items constituting Overage Rent have been overbilled or underbilled with respect to accounting periods prior to or in which the Closing occurs. If Purchaser and Seller determine (subject to any protest rights of any Space Lessee) that there has been an overbilling and an overbilled amount has been received, Purchaser shall reimburse or credit against Overage Rent next coming due such amount to the Space Lessees which paid the excess amount and the parties shall contribute to such reimbursement in the respective proportions in which the applicable overbilled Overage Rents were previously apportioned between the parties as provided in Section 6.1.1(b). If Purchaser and Seller determine (subject to any protest rights of any Space Lessee) that there has been an underbilling, the additional amount may be billed to the Space Lessees who are determined to owe such additional amount, and the parties shall apportion such amount(s) so received in the respective proportions in which Overage Rents were previously apportioned between the parties as provided in Section 6.1.1(b). If Purchaser fails or refuses to seek Seller’s approval of any determination as to the existence of any underbilling or overbilling and unilaterally makes such determination, Seller shall have no obligation to contribute toward any reimbursement of Space Lessees made by Purchaser and Seller shall be entitled to recover from Purchaser Seller’s proportionate share of any underbilled amount established by Seller.
 
 
14

 
(d)    Amounts payable by Space Lessees in respect of overtime heat, air conditioning or other utilities or services, freight elevator charges, supplemental water, HVAC and condenser charges, services or repairs and labor costs associated therewith, above standard cleaning and all other items which are payable to Seller as reimbursement or payment for above standard overtime services whether pursuant to such Space Lessee’s Space Lease or pursuant to a separate agreement with Seller (collectively “ Reimburseables ”) shall not be adjusted, and shall, subject to clause (c) above, belong to the party furnishing such utilities, labor or services to such Space Lessee.
 
(e)    If any Space Lessee expressly identifies any payment of Post Closing Rent as a payment made to be in respect of a period prior to the Closing, or such payment of Post Closing Rent is otherwise determinable from the context of such payment as being in respect of a period prior to the Closing ( e.g. , it is accompanied by an invoice for an item of Fixed Rent or Overage Rent in such amount), then, provided that at the time of such payment such Space Lessee is current for the period following the Closing in the payment of (i) Fixed Rent, and (ii) that portion of Overage Rent relating to real estate taxes, the payment (or portion thereof) so identified shall be remitted by Purchaser to Seller (subject to apportionment if in respect of the Current Month).
 
(f)    All unapplied security deposits and advance rentals in the nature of security deposits paid by Space Lessees (or any predecessor thereof) pursuant to Space Leases (“ Security Deposits ”) which are described in Exhibit D , shall be delivered to Purchaser at the Closing or, at the option of Seller, Security Deposits held in cash at Closing shall be credited toward the Purchase Price. Any transfer fees or charges due in respect of the assignment and/or replacement of any unapplied security deposit comprised of a letter of credit (a “ Security LC ”) shall be borne by Seller. To the extent that any Security LC shall not be transferable as of the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other following the Closing so as to transfer the same to Purchaser or to obtain a replacement letter of credit with respect thereto in favor of Purchaser as soon as practicable after the Closing. Seller shall deliver any such Security LC to Purchaser at the Closing and until any such Security LC shall be transferred or replaced, Seller shall, within two (2) Business Days of receipt of Purchaser’s certification that an event has occurred under the applicable Space Lease entitling the landlord thereunder to apply the Security Deposit, draw upon the same and deliver the proceeds to Purchaser for Purchaser’s application in accordance with the applicable Space Lease provided that such certification of Purchaser shall contain an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller, whereby Purchaser indemnifies and holds Seller harmless from and against any and all obligations, liabilities, claims, demands, losses, damages, causes of action, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising in connection with such drawing.

11.6    For purposes of this Section 11 , (a) a taking of a material part of the Property shall mean any taking which, in Purchaser’s reasonable opinion, leaves remaining a balance of the Property which may not be economically operated (after appropriate restoration) for the purpose for which the Property was operated or intended to be operated prior to such taking, taking into account the Purchase Price to be paid by Purchaser and (b) taking of a material part of the Property shall mean any taking of an area which is more than fifteen percent (15%) of the aggregate rentable area of the Property.

Seller shall not contest, settle or compromise any claim without Purchaser’s approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

Escrow Agent is hereby released and exculpated from all liability hereunder, except only for willful misconduct or gross negligence. Escrow Agent may assume that any person purporting to give it any notice on behalf of any party has been authorized to do so. Escrow Agent shall not be liable for, and Purchaser and Seller hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify Escrow Agent against, any loss, liability or expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees (paid to retained attorneys) arising out of any dispute under this Agreement, including the cost and expense of defending itself against any claim arising hereunder.

From and after the date hereof until the Closing, Seller is hereby authorized to commence any new Tax Proceedings and/or continue any Tax Proceedings, and in Seller’s sole discretion at its sole cost and expense to litigate or settle same; provided, however, that Purchaser shall be entitled to that portion of any refund relating to the period occurring after the Closing after payment to Seller of all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by Seller in obtaining such refund. Purchaser shall deliver to Seller, reasonably promptly after request therefor, receipted tax bills and canceled checks used in payment of such taxes and shall execute any and all consents or other documents, and do any act or thing necessary for the collection of such refund by Seller.

               34.    Like-kind Exchange .

Purchaser and Seller shall not by this Agreement or acquiescence to the Exchange by the other of them (1) have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner or (2) be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to the exchanging that the Exchange in fact complies with Section 1031 of the Code. The indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 34 shall survive the Closing.

35.    Assumption of Existing Loan . (a) At Closing, Purchaser shall assume all indebtedness consisting of the outstanding principal balance of the Existing Indebtedness as of the Closing Date and all of Sellers’ obligations under the Existing Loan Documents which arise from and after the Closing Date. Purchaser shall seek to obtain the written consent of Existing Lender to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a timely manner including, without limitation, as provided in this Section 35, which written consent shall contain a release by Existing Lender of Seller and of any guarantor from any and all liabilities and obligations under the Loan Documents from and after the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller and Lender shall consent to such modifications to the Existing Loan Documents as may be necessary in light of Purchaser’s status as a subsidiary of a publicly traded company in order to not cause such status to constitute a default under the Existing Loan Documents (“ Lender’s Consent ”). In the event Lender’s Consent is not obtained by the date which is 5 business days prior to the Outside Closing Date, Seller may, at Seller’s option, but with no obligation to do so (at Seller’s sole expense), to the extent allowed by the Existing Lender, prepay the Existing Loan (along with any prepayment or other charges imposed by the Existing Lender) or cause the lien of the Existing Mortgagee to be removed of record against the Property at or prior to Closing, in which event Purchaser shall be required to close provided all of the other conditions in this Agreement are satisfied. Purchaser shall provide all other documentation required by Existing Lender as may be necessary to permit such assignment and assumption. Seller agrees to use commercially efforts, at no cost to Seller, in good faith, to cooperate with Purchaser in connection with Purchaser’s efforts to obtain Lender’s Consent. In the event that Existing Lender or the servicer acting on behalf of Existing Lender in connection with the Existing Financing (“ Servicer ”) requires payment of a deposit or fee in connection with the submission of the request for Lender’s Consent and/or the due diligence to obtain Lender’s Consent, Purchaser and Seller shall each pay one-half of any such deposit or fee. Seller and Purchaser shall also share equally (i.e., 50/50) the assumption fee in connection with the assumption of the Existing Indebtedness as set forth in the Existing Loan Documents, provided however that each of Seller and Purchaser shall pay the legal fees and disbursements of their respective legal counsel. In the event that Purchaser is not approved by Existing Lender on or before May 25, 2007 (the “ Lender Consent Period ”), then Seller or Purchaser, shall have the right, upon written notice to the other, to extend the Lender Consent Period for such additional time as the party electing to so extend determines in its sole discretion, but in no event shall such additional period of time go beyond the date that is five (5) business days prior to the Outside Closing Date. Purchaser shall send to Seller copies of all correspondence and enclosures to or from Lender (i) within two (2) business days of Purchaser’s receipt of same from Existing Lender and (ii) contemporaneously with Purchaser’s delivery of same to Existing Lender. Nothing contained herein shall create, or be deemed to create, a mortgage or other contingency for the benefit of Purchaser.
