In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

Any certificate or opinion of an officer of Vornado Realty Trust on behalf of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of Vornado Realty Trust stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of Vornado Realty Trust, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

SECTION 104.  Acts of Holders; Record Dates.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer and to the Guarantor. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or

instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer and the Guarantor if made in the manner provided in this Section.

The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Issuer, or the Guarantor in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

The Issuer may, in the circumstances permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series, provided that the Issuer may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Issuer from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106.

The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 502, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 507(2) or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 512, in each

9

---

case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Issuer’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Issuer in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106.

With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such record dates may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date.

Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.

SECTION 105.  Notices, Etc., to Trustee, Issuer and the Guarantor.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

(1)           the Trustee by any Holder, by the Issuer or by the Guarantor shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, or

(2)           the Issuer or the Guarantor by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument, Attention: Joseph Macnow, Executive Vice President–

Finance and Administration, Chief Financial Officer, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be.

SECTION 106.  Notice to Holders; Waiver.

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his or her address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

Where this Indenture provides for notice of any event to a Holder of a Global Security, such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depositary for such Security (or its designee), pursuant to its Applicable Procedures, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice.

SECTION 107.  Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

SECTION 112.   Governing Law.

All Securities of any one series need not be issued at one time and, unless otherwise provided or contemplated by this Section 301 with respect to a series of Securities, additional Securities of a series may be issued at the option of the Issuer, without the consent of any Holder, at any time and from time to time.

If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution or, if applicable, a Guarantor’s Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Issuer on behalf of

22

---

the Issuer or Vornado Realty Trust, on behalf of the Guarantor, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate or Guarantor’s Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms of the series.

SECTION 302.   Denominations.

The Securities of each series shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 301. In the absence of any such specified denomination with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

SECTION 303.   Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by the Chairman of the Board, the Vice Chairman of the Board, the President or one of the Vice Presidents, under the trust seal reproduced thereon attested by the Secretary, one of the Assistant Secretaries or other authorized Person of the Issuer, and if such Securities are Guaranteed Securities, on behalf of the Guarantor by Vornado Realty Trust, as general partner of the Guarantor, by the Chairman of the Board, the Vice Chairman of the Board, the President or one of the Vice Presidents, under the trust seal of Vornado Realty Trust reproduced thereon attested by the Secretary, one of the Assistant Secretaries or other authorized Person of the Issuer. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Issuer or Vornado Realty Trust shall bind the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Issuer and, if applicable, having endorsed thereon the Guarantees executed by the Guarantor, to the Trustee for authentication, together with an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Issuer Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating,

(1)           if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 201, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

(2)           if the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution and, if such Securities are Guaranteed Securities, and the terms thereof have been established by or pursuant to a Guarantor’s Board Resolution, as permitted by

23

---

Section 301, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

(3)           that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Issuer in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles; and

(4)           that such Guarantees, when the Securities upon which they shall have been endorsed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Issuer in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Guarantor enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, including where the size of an Outstanding series of Securities is increased as contemplated by Section 301, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers’ Certificate or Guarantor’s Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or the Issuer Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

No Security or Guarantee endorsed thereon shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Issuer, and the Issuer shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

SECTION 304.   Temporary Securities.

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Issuer and the Guarantor, if such Securities are Guaranteed Securities, may execute, and upon Issuer Order the

24

---

Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, and, if applicable, having endorsed thereon the Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor substantially of the tenor of the definitive Guarantees and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities and, if applicable, the Guarantees.

If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Issuer will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series, the Issuer and the Guarantor, if such Securities are Guaranteed Securities, shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, and, if applicable, having endorsed thereon the Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor substantially of the tenor of the definitive Guarantees. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series and tenor.

SECTION 305.   Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

The Issuer shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of a series at the office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment for that series, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer and Guarantor, if such Securities are Guaranteed Securities, shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantor, if such Securities are Guaranteed Securities, respectively, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

25

Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer.

If the Securities of any series (or of any series and specified tenor) are to be redeemed in part, the Issuer shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of that series (or of that series and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any such Securities selected for redemption under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (B) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

The provisions of Clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) below shall apply only to Global Securities:

(1)           Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture.

(2)           Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, and subject to such applicable provisions, if any, as may be specified as contemplated by Section 301, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary has notified the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable or no longer permitted under applicable law to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security or (C) the Issuer so directs the Trustee by Company Order or (D) there shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 301.

(3)           Subject to Clause (2) above and to such applicable provisions, if any, as may be specified as contemplated by Section 301, any exchange of a Global Security for other Securities may be made in whole or in part, and all Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global Security shall direct.

(4)           Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 304, 306, 906 or 1107 or otherwise, shall be

26

---

authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof.

SECTION 306.   Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Issuer and the Guarantor, if such Securities are Guaranteed Securities, shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and, if applicable, a Guarantee endorsed thereon, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there shall be delivered to the Issuer, if applicable, the Guarantor and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer and the Guarantor, if such Securities are Guaranteed Securities, shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and, if applicable, having a Guarantee endorsed thereon, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.

Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Issuer may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer and the Guarantor, if such Securities are Guaranteed Securities, respectively, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

SECTION 307.   Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date

27

---

for such interest or, if no business is conducted by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office on such date, at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on such date.

Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Issuer, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below:

(1)           The Issuer may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given to each Holder of Securities of such series in the manner set forth in Section 106, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2).

(2)           The Issuer may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Except as may be provided in this Section 307 or as contemplated in Section 301 with respect to any Securities of a series, the Person to whom interest shall be payable on any Security that first becomes payable on a day that is not an Interest Payment Date shall be the Holder of such Security on the day such interest is paid.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall

28

---

carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

SECTION 308.   Persons Deemed Owners.

Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, the Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 307) any interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer, the Guarantor or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 309.   Cancellation.

All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Issuer or the Guarantor may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer or the Guarantor may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Issuer or the Guarantor has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of as directed by an Issuer Order; provided, however , that the Trustee shall not be required to destroy such cancelled Securities.

SECTION 310.   Computation of Interest.

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

SECTION 311.   CUSIP Numbers.

The Issuer in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders, provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities. Any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount of any Security of such series, provided that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. If less than all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed (unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series and specified tenor not previously called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Securities selected for redemption as aforesaid and, in case of any Securities selected for partial redemption as aforesaid, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

The provisions of the two preceding paragraphs shall not apply with respect to any redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such Security is to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security.

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed.

SECTION 1104.   Notice of Redemption.

Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security Register, with a copy to the Trustee and any Paying Agent.

All notices of redemption shall identify the Securities to be redeemed, including CUSIP number, if any, and shall state:

(1)           the Redemption Date,

(2)           the Redemption Price,

(3)           if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of more than a single Security are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any such Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed and, if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of a single Security are to be redeemed, the principal amount of the particular Security to be redeemed,

56

(4)           that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date,

(5)           the place or places where each such Security is to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, and

(6)           that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case.

Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Issuer shall be given by the Issuer or, at the Issuer’s request made to the Trustee at least 35 days prior to the Redemption Date, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer and shall be irrevocable.

SECTION 1105.   Deposit of Redemption Price.

Prior to any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date or the Securities of the series provide otherwise) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date.

SECTION 1106.   Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Issuer at the Redemption Price, together, if applicable, with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided , however , that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.

If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security.

SECTION 1107.   Securities Redeemed in Part.

Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Issuer or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as

requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

SINKING FUNDS

SECTION 1201.   Applicability of Article.

The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of any series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities.

The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of any Securities is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment”, and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of such Securities is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the terms of any Securities, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities as provided for by the terms of such Securities.

SECTION 1202 .  Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

The Issuer (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of a series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Issuer pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as and to the extent provided for by the terms of such Securities; provided that the Securities to be so credited have not been previously so credited. The Securities to be so credited shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price, as specified in the Securities so to be redeemed, for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

SECTION 1203.   Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Securities, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for such Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to Section 1202 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 nor more than 45 days prior to each such sinking fund payment date, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Issuer in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.

SECTION 1301.   Issuer’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

If applicable to a particular series of Securities, the Issuer may elect, at its option at any time, to have Section 1302 or Section 1303 applied to any such series of Securities or any Securities of such series, as the case may be, designated pursuant to Section 301 as being defeasible pursuant to such Section 1302 or 1303, in accordance with any applicable requirements provided pursuant to Section 301 and upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article. Any such election shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities.

SECTION 1302.   Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any applicable series of Securities or any Securities of such series, as the case may be, the Issuer and the Guarantor (with respect to Guaranteed Securities) shall be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Issuer and the Guarantor (with respect to Guaranteed Securities) shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Securities and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), subject to the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (1) the rights of Holders of such Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 1304 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities when payments are due, (2) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Securities and the Guarantor’s obligations with respect to Guaranteed Securities under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1003, (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (4) this Article.

SECTION 1303.   Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any applicable series of Securities or any Securities of such series, as the case may be, (1) each of the Issuer and the Guarantor (with respect to Guaranteed Securities) shall be released from its obligations under Section 801(3), Sections 1005 through 1008, inclusive, and any covenants provided pursuant to Section 301(18), 901(2) or 901(7) for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities and (2) the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 501(4) (with respect to any of Section 801(3), Sections 1005 through 1008, inclusive, and any such covenants provided pursuant to Section 301(18), 901(2) or 901(7)), 501(5) and 501(8) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, in each case with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Covenant

59

---

Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to such Securities, the Issuer and the Guarantor may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such specified Section (to the extent so specified in the case of Section 501(4)), whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby.

SECTION 1304.   Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The following shall be the conditions to the application of Section 1302 or Section 1303 to any applicable series of Securities or any Securities of such series, as the case may be:

(1)           The Issuer shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee which satisfies the requirements contemplated by Section 609 and agrees to comply with the provisions of this Article applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefits of the Holders of such Securities, (A) money in an amount, or (B) U.S. Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or any such other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities on the respective Stated Maturities, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Securities. As used herein, “U.S. Government Obligation” means (x) any security which is (i) a direct obligation of the United States of America for the payment of which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged or (ii) an obligation of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the United States of America, which, in either case (i) or (ii), is not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and (y) any depositary receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act) as custodian with respect to any U.S. Government Obligation which is specified in Clause (x) above and held by such bank for the account of the holder of such depositary receipt, or with respect to any specific payment of principal of or interest on any U.S. Government Obligation which is so specified and held, provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depositary receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific payment of principal or interest evidenced by such depositary receipt.

(2)           In the event of an election to have Section 1302 apply to any applicable series of Securities or any Securities of such series, as the case may be, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this instrument, there has been a change in the applicable Federal

60

---

income tax law, in either case (A) or (B) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur.

(3)           In the event of an election to have Section 1303 apply to any applicable series of Securities or any Securities of such series, as the case may be, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and Covenant Defeasance to be effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance were not to occur.

(4)           The Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that neither such Securities nor any other Securities of the same series, if then listed on any securities exchange, will be delisted as a result of such deposit.

(5)           No event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to such Securities or any other Securities shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit or, with regard to any such event specified in Sections 501(6) and (7), at any time on or prior to the 90th day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th day).

(6)           Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all Securities are in default within the meaning of such Act).

(7)           Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which it is bound.

(8)           Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act unless such trust shall be registered under such Act or exempt from registration thereunder.

(9)           The Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

SECTION 1305.   Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or other

61

---

qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section and Section 1306, the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to collectively as the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 1304 in respect of any Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and interest, but money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1304 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities.

Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon Issuer Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1304 with respect to any Securities which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect the Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, with respect to such Securities.

SECTION 1306.   Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this Article with respect to any Securities by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations under this Indenture and such Securities from which the Issuer has been discharged or released pursuant to Section 1302 or 1303 shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article with respect to such Securities, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to Section 1305 with respect to such Securities in accordance with this Article; provided , however , that if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any such Security following such reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money so held in trust.

ARTICLE Fourteen

GUARANTEE

SECTION 1401.   The Guarantee

The Guarantee set forth in this Article Fourteen shall only be in effect with respect to Securities of a series to the extent such Guarantee is made applicable to such series in accordance with Section 301. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Guaranteed Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee the due and punctual payment of the principal of, any premium and interest on, such Guaranteed Security, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption, repayment or otherwise, in accordance with the terms of such Guaranteed Security and this Indenture. In case of the failure of the Issuer punctually to pay

62

---

any such principal, premium, interest or any additional amounts, the Guarantor hereby agrees to cause any such payment to be made punctually when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at Stated Maturity, upon acceleration, redemption, repayment or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Issuer.

The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be as principal and not merely as surety, and shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of any Guaranteed Security or this Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of any Guaranteed Security or this Indenture, or any waiver, modification, consent or indulgence granted with respect thereto by the Holder of such Guaranteed Security or the Trustee, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer or any action to enforce the same, or any other circumstances which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor; provided , however , that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification or indulgence shall, without the consent of the Guarantor, increase the principal amount of such Security or the interest rate thereon or impose or increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest or notice with respect to any such Guaranteed Security or the Indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by payment in full of the principal of, any premium and interest on, and any additional amounts required with respect to, the Guaranteed Securities and the complete performance of all other payment obligations contained in the Guaranteed Securities.

This Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment on any Guaranteed Security, in whole or in part, is rescinded or must otherwise be repaid to the Issuer or the Guarantor upon the bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Issuer, the Guarantor or otherwise.

The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of any Guaranteed Security against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid to such Holder by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of, any premium and interest on, and any additional amounts required with respect to, all Guaranteed Securities shall have been paid in full.

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of November 20, 2006 (herein called the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), among the Company, Vornado Realty L.P. as Guarantor (herein called the “Guarantor”, which term includes any successor guarantor under the Indenture) in respect of any Guaranteed Securities, and The Bank of New York, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $1,000,000,000 , as such amount may be increased, but not by an amount in excess of $150,000,000, solely as a result of the purchase of additional Securities pursuant to the underwriter’s over-allotment option granted by the Company under the Underwriting Agreement, dated November 14, 2006 (the “ Underwriting Agreement ”), among the Company, the Guarantor and Banc of America Securities LLC,  and, provided that the Company may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Securities of this series, create and issue further Securities of this series (the “Additional Securities”) having the same terms and ranking equally and ratably with the Securities of this series in all respects and with the same CUSIP number as the Securities of this series, or in all respects except for the payment of interest accruing prior to the Issue Date or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such Additional Securities; and provided, further, that no such Additional Securities may be issued unless fungible with the Securities then outstanding for United States Federal income tax purposes.  Any Additional Securities will be consolidated and form a single series with the Securities and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption and otherwise as the Securities.  Any Additional Securities may be issued pursuant to authorization provided by a resolution of the board of trustees of the Company, a supplement to the Indenture, or under an Officers’ Certificate pursuant to the Indenture. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of the Securities that may be issued thereunder.

Redemption Rights

The Company shall have the right to redeem for cash the Securities in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, on or after November 18, 2011 upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice by mail to the registered Holders of the Securities, at 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date.

The Company shall not have the right to redeem the Securities prior to November 18, 2011 except to preserve the Company’s status as a real estate investment trust.  If the Company determines it is necessary to redeem the Securities in order to preserve the Company’s status as a real estate investment trust, the Company will redeem

4

all of the Securities then outstanding at 100% of the principal amount of the Securities plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date.

If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed pro rata or by lot or by any other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate.  The Trustee shall make the selection at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date from outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption.  The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal amount of Securities that have denominations larger than $1,000.  Securities and portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in principal amounts at maturity of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000.  Provisions of the Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities not called for redemption.  The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the Securities or portions of Securities to be redeemed.  If any Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part before termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of the Security so selected, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed to be the portion selected for redemption.  Securities that have been converted during a selection of Securities to be redeemed may be treated by the Trustee as outstanding for the purpose of such selection.

At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed.

Repurchase Rights

This Security shall be subject to purchase by the Company on each of November 15, 2011, November 15, 2016 and November 15, 2021 (each, a “ Repurchase Date ”), at the purchase price of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the Repurchase Date (each, a “ Repurchase ”, as applicable), at the option of the Holder hereof, upon:

(1)                                   delivery to the Paying Agent by the Holder of a written notice of repurchase in the form set forth below (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) at any time from the opening of business on the date that is 60 Business Days prior to a Repurchase Date until the close of business on the fifth Business Day prior to such Repurchase Date stating:

(A)                               the certificate number of the Security which the Holder will deliver to be purchased;

(B)                                 the portion of the principal amount which the Holder will deliver to be repurchased, which portion must be a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and

(C)                                 that such Security shall be purchased as of the Repurchase Date pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Securities and the Indenture, and

(2)                                   delivery of such Security to the Paying Agent prior to, on or after the Repurchase Date (together with all necessary endorsements) at the offices of the Paying Agent, such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Repurchase Price therefor; provided , however , that such Repurchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this paragraph only if the Security so delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in the related Repurchase Notice, as determined by the Company.

The Company shall purchase from the Holder hereof, pursuant to this paragraph and the terms of the Indenture, a portion of a Security if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000.

Any repurchase contemplated by the Company shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the Holder (together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any) promptly following the later of the Repurchase Date and the time of delivery of this Security.

The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

A Holder may withdraw any Repurchase Notice by a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Paying Agent prior to the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the Repurchase Date.  The notice of withdrawal must state:

·                                           the principal amount of the Securities being withdrawn from the Repurchase Notice;

·                                           if certificated Securities have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn Securities, or if not certificated, the notice must comply with appropriate procedures of The Depository Trust Company or any successor depositary for the Securities; and

·                                           the principal amount, if any, which remains subject to the Repurchase Notice.

Holders must either effect book-entry transfer of the Securities or deliver the Securities, together with necessary endorsements, to the office of the Paying Agent after delivery of the Repurchase Notice to receive payment of the Repurchase Price.  Holders will receive payment on the Repurchase Date or, in the case of a global security,

the time of book-entry transfer, or the delivery of the Securities.  If the Paying Agent holds money or securities sufficient to pay the Repurchase Price of the Securities to which the Repurchase Notice relates on the Business Day following the Repurchase Date, then:

·                                           such Securities will cease to be Outstanding;

·                                           interest will cease to accrue on such Securities; and

·                                           all rights as a Holder with respect to such Securities will terminate.

Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Change in Control

If there shall have occurred a Change in Control at any time prior to November 15, 2011, Holders of Securities shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase Securities not previously called for redemption, or any portion of the principal amount thereof, that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000, at a cash purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of all Securities such Holders require the Company to repurchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest on those Securities to, but excluding, the Repurchase Date (such amount, the “ Change in Control Purchase Price ”), subject to satisfaction by or on behalf of the Holder of the requirements set forth in this Security and in the Indenture.

Within 15 days after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company shall mail a written notice of Change in Control by first-class mail to the Trustee and to each Holder (and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law and procedures of The Depository Trust Company or any successor depositary) as provided in the Indenture.

A Holder may exercise its rights specified in this paragraph upon delivery of a written notice of purchase in the form set forth below (a “ Change in Control Purchase Notice ”) to the Paying Agent at any time prior to the close of business not more than 20 Business Days following the date of notice by the Company to Holders of the Change in Control, stating:

(1)                                   the certificate number of the Securities which the Holder will deliver to be purchased;

(2)                                   the principal amount of the Security which the Holder will deliver to be purchased, which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and

(3)                                   that such Security shall be purchased pursuant to the terms and conditions specified herein and in the Indenture.

The delivery of Securities to the Paying Agent prior to, on or after the Change in Control Purchase Date (together with all necessary endorsements) at the offices of the Paying Agent shall be a condition to the receipt by the Holder of the

7

Change in Control Purchase Price therefor; provided , however , that such Change in Control Purchase Price shall be so paid only if the Securities so delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in all respects to the description thereof set forth in the related Change in Control Purchase Notice.

The Company shall purchase from the Holder thereof a portion of a Security if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000.

The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Change in Control Purchase Notice.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Securities may be purchased by the Company at the option of a Holder upon a Change in Control if the principal amount of the Securities has been accelerated and such acceleration has not been rescinded on or prior to such date.

If a Change in Control occurs on or after November 15, 2011, no holder will have the right to require the Company to purchase any Securities except as provided in the Indenture and under “Repurchase Rights” above on the reverse of this Security.

Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of the Repurchase Notice or Change in Control Purchase Notice, a Holder of Securities in respect of which such Repurchase Notice or Change in Control Purchase Notice, as the case may be, was given shall (unless such Repurchase Notice is withdrawn as specified below) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Repurchase Price or Change in Control Purchase Price, as the case may be, with respect to such Security.  Such Repurchase Price or Change in Control Purchase Price shall be paid to such Holder, subject to receipt of funds and/or Securities by the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, promptly following the later of (x) the Repurchase Date or the Change in Control Purchase Date, as the case may be, with respect to such Securities (provided the conditions set forth herein and in the Indenture for such payment are satisfied) and (y) the time of delivery of such Securities to the Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required herein.  Securities in respect of which a Repurchase Notice or Change in Control Purchase Notice, as the case may be, has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted on or after the date of the delivery of such Repurchase Notice or Change in Control Purchase Notice, as the case may be, unless, solely in the case of a Repurchase Notice, it has first been validly withdrawn as specified below.

A Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the office of the Paying Agent prior to the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the Repurchase Date specifying:

(1)                                   the certificate number of the Security in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted;

(2)                                   the principal amount of the Security with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted; and

(3)                                   the principal amount of such Security which remains subject to the original Purchase Notice or and which has been or will be delivered for purchase by the Company.

Make Whole Amount

If a transaction described in clause (1) or clause (2) of the definition of Change in Control occurs on or prior to November 15, 2011, and a Holder elects to convert its Securities in connection with such transaction, the Company will increase the applicable Conversion Rate for the Securities surrendered in order to provide for conversion into a number of Additional Shares of the Company as described below.  A conversion of Securities shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such a Change in Control if the notice of conversion of the Securities is received by the Conversion Agent on or after the 15th Business Day prior to the anticipated effective date of the Change in Control and on or prior to the fifth Business Day following the effective date of the Change in Control (or, if earlier and to the extent applicable, the close of business on the second Trading Day immediately preceding the day on which the Company is required to repurchase Securities upon a Change in Control.

The number of Additional Shares will be determined by reference to the table below and is based on the date on which such Change in Control transaction becomes effective (the “ effective date ”) and the price (the “ stock price ”) paid per Common Share in such transaction.  If the holders of Common Shares receive only cash in the Change in Control transaction, the stock price shall be the cash amount paid per share.  Otherwise the stock price shall be the average of the closing sale prices of Common Shares on the 10 Trading Days up to but excluding the effective date.

The stock prices set forth in the first row of the table (i.e., the column headers) will be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Securities is adjusted.  The adjusted stock prices will equal the stock prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the stock price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted.  The right to receive the Additional Shares will be subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate.

The following table sets forth the stock price and number of Additional Shares to be received per $1,000 principal amount of Securities:

Effective		Stock Price
Date		$118.04		$130.00		$140.00		$153.45		$165.00		$175.00		$185.00		$200.00		$215.00		$230.00		$245.00		$260.00		$275.00		$300.00		$325.00

The exact stock prices and effective dates may not be set forth in the table, in which case:

(1)                                   if the stock price is between two stock price amounts in the table or the effective date is between two dates in the table, the additional shares will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower stock price amounts and the two dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;

(2)                                   if the stock price is equal to or in excess of $325.00 per share (subject to adjustment), no Additional Shares will be issued upon conversion; and

(3)                                   if the stock price is less than $118.04 per share (the closing sale price of Common Shares on November 15, 2006) (subject to adjustment), no Additional Shares will be issued upon exchange.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the total number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion exceed 8.4717 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate.

Conversion Settlement

A Holder of Securities may, subject to the restrictions on ownership of Common Shares set forth in the Company’s Declaration of Trust and the conditions described herein and in the Indenture, convert Securities for cash, Common Shares, if any, or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election, based on the Conversion Rate in effect at the time of conversion (6.5168 Common Shares per $1,000 principal amount of Securities on November 20, 2006).

Upon conversion of the Securities, the Company will deliver, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Securities tendered for conversion:

·                                           cash in an amount (the “principal return”) equal to the lesser of (a) the principal amount of Securities surrendered for conversion and (b) the conversion value, and

·                                           if the conversion value is greater than the principal return, an amount (the “net amount”) in cash or Common Shares, as determined by the Company, with an aggregate value equal to the difference between the conversion value and the principal return.

The Company may elect to deliver any portion of the net amount in cash (the “net cash amount”) or Common Shares, and any portion of the net amount the Company delivers in Common Shares (the “net shares”) will be the sum of the daily share amounts (calculated as described below) for each Trading Day during the

10

---

applicable conversion period. Prior to the close of business on the second Trading Day following the date on which Securities are tendered for conversion, the Company will, by notice to the Trustee, inform Holders of such Securities of its election to pay cash for all or a portion of the net amount and, if applicable, the portion of the net amount that will be paid in cash and the portion that will be delivered in the form of net shares, unless the Company has previously informed such Holder of such election in a Notice of Redemption for Securities.

The Company will deliver cash in lieu of any fractional Common Shares issuable in connection with payment of the net shares based upon the average price.

The “conversion value” for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities is equal to (a) the applicable Conversion Rate, multiplied by (b) the average price.

The “applicable conversion period” means the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period commencing on the third Trading Day following the date the Securities are tendered for conversion.

The “average price” is equal to the average of the closing sale prices of Common Shares for each Trading Day in the applicable conversion period.

The “daily share amount” for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities and each Trading Day in the applicable conversion period is equal to the greater of:

zero; and

a number of Common Shares determined by the following formula:

(closing sale price of Common Shares on such Trading Day × applicable Conversion Rate) —

($1,000 + net cash amount, if any)

10 × closing sale price of Common Shares on such Trading Day

 

The conversion value, principal return, net amount, net cash amount and the number of net shares, as applicable, shall be determined by the Company promptly after the end of the applicable conversion period. The Company will pay the principal return and cash in lieu of fractional shares, and deliver net shares or pay the net cash amount, as applicable, no later than the third Business Day following the last Trading Day of the applicable conversion period.

Conversion Rights

No fractional Common Shares will be delivered upon conversion of the Securities.  Instead, the Company will pay the cash value of such fractional shares in connection with such settlement based upon the closing sale price of Common Shares on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date.
