VORNADO REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Organization
Vornado Realty Trust ("Vornado") is a fully-integrated real estate investment trust. Vornado conducts its business through Vornado Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"). Vornado is the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 86.4% of the common limited partnership interest in, the Operating Partnership at March 31, 2004. All references to the "Company" and "Vornado" refer to Vornado Realty Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Vornado's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vornado and its majority-owned subsidiary, Vornado Realty L.P., as well as certain partially-owned entities in which the Company owns (i) more than 50%, unless a partner has shared board and management representation and authority and substantive participation rights on all significant business decisions or (ii) 50% or less when the Company is considered the primary beneficiary and the entity qualifies as a variable interest entity under FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised)Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, ("FIN 46R") which became effective on March 31, 2004. All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated. Equity interests in partially-owned corporate entities are accounted for under the equity method of accounting when the Company's ownership interest is more than 20%, but less than 50%. When partially-owned investments are in partnership form, the 20% threshold for equity method accounting may be reduced. Investments accounted for under the equity method are recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company's share of the net income or loss and cash contributions and distributions to or from these entities. For all other investments, the Company uses the cost method.
Management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 46 (Revised)Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("FIN 46R")
In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, as amended in December 2003 by FIN 46R, which deferred the effective date until the first interim or annual reporting period ending after March 15, 2004. FIN 46R requires the consolidation of an entity by an enterprise known as a "primary beneficiary," (i) if that enterprise has a variable interest that will absorb a majority of the entity's expected losses, if they occur, receive a majority of the entity's expected residual returns, if they occur, or both and (ii) if the entity is a variable interest entity ("VIE"), as defined. An entity qualifies as a VIE if (i) the total equity investment at risk in the entity is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or (ii) the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest in the entity. The initial determination of whether an entity is a VIE shall be made as of the date at which an enterprise becomes involved with the entity and re-evaluated as of the date of triggering events, as defined. The Company has evaluated each partially-owned entity to determine whether any qualify as a VIE, and if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, as defined. The Company has determined that its investment in Newkirk MLP, in which it owns a 22.3% equity interest (see Note 5Investments in Partially-Owned Entities), qualifies as a VIE. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary and, accordingly, consolidation is not required. The Company's maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement in Newkirk MLP is limited to its equity investment of approximately $145,088,000, as of March 31, 2004. In addition, the Company has variable interests in certain other entities which are primarily financing arrangements. The Company has evaluated these entities in accordance with FIN 46R and has determined that they are not VIEs. Based on the Company's evaluations, the adoption of FIN 46R on March 31, 2004 did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

4. Acquisitions, Dispositions and Financings
Acquisitions
Forest Plaza Shopping Center
On February 3, 2004, the Company acquired the Forest Plaza Shopping Center for approximately $32,500,000, of which $14,000,000 was paid in cash, and $18,500,000 was debt assumed. The purchase was funded as part of Section 1031 tax-free "like-kind" exchange with the remaining portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Company's Two Park Avenue property. Forest Plaza is a 165,000 square foot shopping center located in Staten Island, New York, anchored by a Waldbaum's supermarket.
25 W. 14th Street
On March 19, 2004, the Company acquired a 62,000 square foot free-standing retail building located at 25 W. 14th Street in Manhattan for $40,000,000. The building, which was recently renovated, was 87% occupied as of March 31, 2004. This purchase will ultimately be funded as part of a Section 1031 tax-free "like-kind" exchange with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Company's Palisades Residential Complex which is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2004.
Dispositions
On January 9, 2003, the Company sold its Baltimore, Maryland shopping center for $4,752,000, which resulted in a net gain on sale after closing costs of $2,644,000.

On February 27, 2004, the Company acquired the remaining 25% interest it did not previously own for approximately $17,000,000. The Company's gain on sale after closing costs will be approximately $70,000,000. The sale, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2004.
In the three months ended March 31, 2004, and 2003, the Company sold certain partially-owned development property which resulted in a net gain on disposition of wholly-owned and partially-owned assets other than depreciable real estate of $776,000 and $188,000, respectively.

The redemption amount exceeded the carrying amount by $700,000, representing the original issuance costs. Upon redemption, these issuance costs were recorded as a reduction to earnings in arriving at net income applicable to common shares, in accordance with the July 2003 EITF clarification of Topic D-42.
On March 17, 2004, the Company redeemed all of its Series B Preferred Shares at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per share for an aggregate of $85,000,000 plus accrued dividends. The redemption amount exceeded the carrying amount by $3,195,000, representing the original issuance costs. Upon redemption, these issuance costs were recorded as a reduction to earnings in arriving at net income applicable to common shares, in accordance with the July 2003 EITF clarification of Topic D-42.

Based on the Company's ownership interest in the partially-owned entities above, the Company's share of the debt of these partially-owned entities was $1,105,668,000 and $930,567,000 as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

Temperature Controlled Logistics
Based on the joint venture's policy of recognizing rental income when earned and collection is assured or cash is received, the Company did not recognize $6,465,000 and $3,376,000 of rent it was due for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, which together with previously deferred rent is $55,901,000.
On February 5, 2004, AmeriCold Realty Trust completed a $254,400,000 mortgage financing for 21 of its owned and 7 of its leased temperature-controlled warehouses. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.95% (with a LIBOR floor of 1.5% with respect to $54,400,000 of the loan) and requires principal payments of $5,000,000 annually. The loan matures in April 2009 and is pre-payable without penalty after April 9, 2006. The net proceeds were approximately $225,000,000 after providing for usual escrows, closing costs and the repayment of $12,900,000 of existing mortgages on two of the warehouses, of which $135,000,000 was distributed to the Company and the remainder was distributed to its partner.
On January 20, and March 29, 2004, a joint venture in which the Company has a 44% interest acquired an aggregate of $10,200,000 of trade receivables from AmeriCold Logistics for $10,000,000 in cash. These receivables have been subsequently collected in full.
Alexander's
The Company owns 33% of the outstanding common stock of Alexander's at March 31, 2004. Alexander's is managed by, and its properties are leased by, the Company pursuant to agreements with a one-year term expiring in March of each year, except for the Lexington Avenue agreements which provide for a term lasting until substantial completion of the development of the property, all of which are automatically renewable. As of March 31, 2004, the Company had a receivable from Alexander's of $39,062,000 under the management and development agreements. In addition, Alexander's paid $493,000 to Building Maintenance Services, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, for cleaning and engineering services at Alexander's Lexington Avenue project.
Effective April 1, 2004, based on Alexander's improved liquidity, the Company modified its term loan and line of credit to Alexander's to reduce the spread it charges from 9.48% to 6%. Accordingly, the current interest rate has been reduced to 9% from 12.48%.
On February 13, 2004, Alexander's completed a $400,000,000 mortgage financing on the Office Space of its Lexington Avenue development project placed by German American Capital Corporation, an affiliate of Deutsche Bank. The loan bears interest at 5.33%, matures in February 2014 and beginning in the third year, provides for principal payments based on a 25-year amortization schedule such that over the remaining eight years of the loan, ten years of amortization will be paid. Of the loan proceeds, $253,529,000 was used to repay the entire amount outstanding under the construction loan with HVB Real Estate Capital (Hypo) (the "Construction Loan"). The Construction Loan was modified so that the remaining availability is $237,000,000, which was approximately the amount estimated to complete the Lexington Avenue development project. The interest rate on the Construction Loan is LIBOR plus 2.5% (currently 3.60%) and matures in January 2006, with two one-year extensions. The collateral for the Construction Loan is the same, except that the Office Space has been removed from the lien. Further, the Construction Loan permits the release of the retail space for $15,000,000 and requires all proceeds from the sale of the residential condominiums units to be applied to the Construction Loan balance until it is finally repaid. In connection with reducing the principal amount of the Construction Loan Alexander's wrote-off $3,050,000 of unamortized deferred financing costs in the first quarter of 2004, of which the Company's share was $1,010,000.
Equity in loss from Alexander's includes Alexander's stock appreciation rights compensation expense of which the Company's share was $9,913,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, based on a closing Alexander's stock price of $160.00 on March 31, 2004.
6. Notes and Mortgage Loans Receivable

12. Commitments and Contingencies
At March 31, 2004, the Company's $600,000,000 revolving credit facility had a zero balance, and the Company utilized $12,805,000 of availability under the facility for letters of credit and guarantees.
Each of the Company's properties has been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times. The environmental assessments did not reveal any material environmental contamination. However, there can be no assurance that the identification of new areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites, or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant costs to the Company.
The Company carries comprehensive liability and all risk property insurance ((i) fire, (ii) flood, (iii) extended coverage, (iv) "acts of terrorism" as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 which expires in 2005 and (v) rental loss insurance) with respect to its assets. In April 2004, the Company renewed its all risk policies and increased its coverage for Acts of Terrorism for each of its New York Office, CESCR Office and Merchandise Mart divisions. Below is a summary of the current all risk property insurance and terrorism risk insurance for each of the Company's business segments:
|
Coverage Per Occurrence |
|||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|

Temperature Controlled Logistics | 225,000,000 | 225,000,000 |
In addition to the coverage above, the Company carries lesser amounts of coverage for terrorist acts not covered by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002.
The Company's debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by its properties (which are generally non-recourse to the Company), its senior unsecured notes due 2007 and 2010 and its revolving credit agreement, contain customary covenants requiring the Company to maintain insurance. Although the Company believes that it has adequate insurance coverage under these agreements, the Company may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. Further, if lenders insist on greater coverage than the Company is able to obtain, it could adversely affect the Company's ability to finance and/or refinance its properties and expand its portfolio.
From time to time, the Company has disposed of substantial amounts of real estate to third parties for which, as to certain properties, it remains contingently liable for rent payments or mortgage indebtedness that cannot be quantified by the Company.
There are various legal actions against the Company in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters will not have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

13. Stock-Based Compensation
Prior to 2003, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method (i.e. the difference between the price per share at the grant date and the option exercise price). Accordingly, no stock-based compensation was recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements for plan awards granted prior to 2003. If compensation cost for plan awards granted prior to 2003 had been determined based on fair value at the grant dates, net income and income per share would have been reduced to the pro-forma amounts below:

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
Shareholders
and Board of Trustees
Vornado Realty Trust
New York, New York
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust as of March 31, 2004, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust as of December 31, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 2, 2004, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and included an explanatory paragraph relating to the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" and SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Certain statements contained herein constitute forward-looking statements as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our future results, financial condition and business may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "will," "would," "may" or similar expressions in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Many of the factors that will determine these items are beyond our ability to control or predict. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 under "Forward Looking Statements" and "Item 1. BusinessCertain Factors That May Adversely Affect the Company's Business and Operations." For these statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes a discussion of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Overview
The Company owns and operates office, retail and showroom properties with large concentrations of office and retail properties in the New York City metropolitan area and in the Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia area. In addition, the Company has a 60% interest in a partnership that owns cold storage warehouses nationwide.
The Company's business objective is to maximize shareholder value. The Company measures its success in meeting this objective by the total return to its shareholders. Below is a table comparing the Company's performance to the Morgan Stanley REIT Index ("RMS") for the following periods ending March 31, 2004:
|
Total Return |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Vornado |
RMS |
|||
Three-months | 12.2 | % | 12.1 | % | |
One-year | 80.2 | % | 51.6 | % | |
Three-years | 104.9 | % | 80.1 | % | |
Five-years | 137.5 | % | 127.8 | % | |
Ten-years | 510.0 | % | 227.9 | %(1) |
The Company intends to continue to achieve its business objective by pursuing its investment philosophy and executing its operating strategies through:
The Company competes with a large number of real estate property owners and developers. Principal factors of competition are rent charged, attractiveness of location and quality and breadth of services provided. The Company's success depends upon, among other factors, trends of the national and local economies, financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants and customers, availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation and population trends. The current economic recovery is fostered, in part, by low interest rates, Federal tax cuts, and increases in government spending. To the extent this recovery stalls, the Company may experience lower occupancy rates which may lead to lower initial rental rates, higher leasing costs and a corresponding decrease in net income, funds from operations and cash flow. Alternatively, if the recovery continues, the Company may experience higher occupancy rates leading to higher initial rents and higher interest rates causing an increase in the Company's weighted average cost of capital and a corresponding effect on net income, funds from operations and cash flow.

This decrease resulted primarily from $6,284,000 of interest received in the first quarter of 2003 in connection with the Dearborn Center loan receivable repayment (of which $5,655,000 was contingent interest income), offset by interest income recognized in the first quarter of 2004, on the $225,000,000 GM Building mezzanine loans.
Interest and Debt Expense
Interest and debt expense was $58,705,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, compared to $56,900,000 in the prior year's quarter, an increase of $1,805,000. This increase resulted primarily from higher average outstanding debt during the quarter ended March 31, 2004.
Net Gains on Disposition of Wholly-owned and Partially-owned Assets other than Real Estate
Net gains on disposition of "wholly-owned and partially-owned assets other than depreciable real estate" reflects the Company's $776,000 share of gains on disposition of certain partially-owned development assets in the current quarter and a $188,000 gain on sale of Kinzie Park Condominium units in the prior year's quarter.
Minority Interest
Minority interest expense was $31,508,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, compared to $38,657,000 for the prior year's quarter, a decrease of $7,149,000. This decrease resulted primarily from lower distributions to preferred unit holders as a result of the Company's redemption of the Series D-2 preferred units in January 2004, the Series D-1 preferred units in November 2003, and the Series C-1 preferred units during the fourth quarter of 2003.
Discontinued Operations
Assets related to discontinued operations at March 31, 2004, consist primarily of real estate, net of accumulated depreciation and represent the Company's retail properties located in Vineland, New Jersey, and Baltimore (Dundalk), Maryland as well as the Palisades located in Fort Lee, New Jersey. Liabilities related to discontinued operations represent the Palisades mortgage payable of $120,000,000 at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.
The combined results of operations of the assets related to discontinued operations as well as the Company's Two Park Avenue office property, sold on October 10, 2003, which resulted in a net gain of $156,433,000, and Baltimore and Hagerstown, Maryland retail properties, which were sold on January 9, 2003 and November 3, 2003 (resulting in net gains of $2,644,000 and $1,945,000) are shown as discontinued operations. The following is a summary of the combined results of operations of these properties:

FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs which is disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the applicable periods. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Management considers FFO a relevant supplemental measure of operating performance because it provides a basis for comparison among REITs. FFO is computed in accordance with NAREIT's definition, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with NAREIT's definition.

Acquisitions
On February 3, 2004, the Company acquired the Forest Plaza Shopping Center for approximately $32,500,000, of which $14,000,000 was paid in cash, and $18,500,000 was debt assumed. The purchase was funded as part of Section 1031 tax-free "like kind" exchange with the remaining portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Company's Two Park Avenue property. Forest Plaza is a 165,000 square foot shopping center located in Staten Island, New York, anchored by a Waldbaum's supermarket.
On March 19, 2004, the Company acquired a 62,000 square foot free-standing retail building located at 25 W. 14th Street in Manhattan for $40,000,000. The building, which was recently renovated, was 87% occupied as of March 31, 2004. This purchase will ultimately be funded as part of a Section 1031 tax-free "like-kind" exchange with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Company's Palisades Residential Complex which is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2004.
Dispositions
On January 9, 2003, the Company sold its Baltimore, Maryland shopping center for $4,752,000, which resulted in a net gain on sale after closing costs of $2,644,000.
On February 2, 2004, the Palisades Venture entered into an agreement to sell its only asset, a 538 unit high-rise residential apartment tower in Fort Lee, New Jersey, for $222,500,000. On February 27, 2004, the Company acquired the remaining 25% interest it did not previously own for approximately $17,000,000. The Company's gain on sale after closing costs will be approximately $70,000,000. The sale, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2004.
Financings
On January 6, 2004, the Company redeemed all of its 8.375% Series D-2 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units at a redemption price equal to $50.00 per unit for an aggregate of $27.5 million plus accrued distributions. The redemption amount exceeded the carrying amount by $700,000, representing the original issuance costs. Upon redemption, these issuance costs were recorded as a reduction to earnings in arriving at net income applicable to common shares, in accordance with the July 2003 EITF clarification of Topic D-42.
On March 17, 2004, the Company redeemed all of its Series B preferred Shares at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per share for an aggregate of $85,000,000 plus accrued dividends. The redemption amount exceeded the carrying amount by $3,195,000, representing the original issuance costs. Upon redemption, these issuance costs were recorded as a reduction to earnings in arriving at net income applicable to common shares, in accordance with the July 2003 EITF clarification of Topic D-42.
For details of the Company's financing activities see Note 7Notes and Mortgages Payable.
The Company anticipates that cash from continuing operations will be adequate to fund business operations and the payment of dividends and distributions on an on-going basis for more than the next twelve months; however, capital outlays for significant acquisitions would require funding from borrowings or equity offerings.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks
The Company has exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates. Market interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond the control of the Company. Various financial instruments exist which would allow management to mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the Company's cash flows and earnings.
As of March 31, 2004, the Company has an interest rate swap as described in footnote 1 to the table below. In addition, during 2003 the Company purchased two interest rate caps with notional amounts aggregating $295,000,000, and simultaneously sold two interest rate caps with the same aggregate notional amount on substantially the same terms as the caps purchased. As the significant terms of these arrangements are the same, the effects of a revaluation of these instruments are expected to substantially offset one another. Management may engage in additional hedging strategies in the future, depending on management's analysis of the interest rate environment and the costs and risks of such strategies.
The Company's exposure to a change in interest rates on its wholly-owned and partially-owned debt (all of which arises out of non-trading activity) is as follows:

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures: The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
38
The Company is from time to time involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters, including in respect of the matters referred to below, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The following supplements and amends the discussion set forth under Item 3 "Legal Proceedings" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Stop & Shop
As previously disclosed, on January 8, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a complaint with the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey ("USDC-NJ") claiming the Company has no right to reallocate and therefore continue to collect the $5,000,000 of annual rent from Stop & Shop pursuant to the Master Agreement and Guaranty, because of the expiration of the East Brunswick, Jersey City, Middletown, Union and Woodbridge leases to which the $5,000,000 of additional rent was previously allocated. Stop & Shop asserted that a prior order of the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York dated February 6, 2001, as modified on appeal to the District Court for the Southern District of New York on February 13, 2001, terminated the Company's right to reallocate. On March 3, 2003, after the Company moved to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction, Stop & Shop voluntarily withdrew its complaint.
On March 26, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a new complaint in New York Supreme Court, asserting substantially the same claims as in its USDC-NJ complaint. On April 9, 2003, the Company moved the New York Supreme Court action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On June 30, 2003, the District Court ordered that the case be placed in suspension and ordered the parties to proceed in a related case that the Company commenced in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. On July 24, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court referred the related case to mediation. The mediation has not been concluded. If this matter is not resolved through mediation, the hearing will reconvene in the Bankruptcy Court. The Company believes that the additional rent provision of the guaranty expires at the earliest in 2012 and will vigorously oppose Stop & Shop's complaint.
Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
During the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company issued 6,922,017 common shares upon the redemption of Class A units of the Operating Partnership held by persons who received units in private placements in earlier periods in exchange for their interests in limited partnerships that owned real estate. All of the common shares were issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on Section 4(2) of that Act.
Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K
During the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company did not file any reports on Form 8-K.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT, dated as of February 4, 2002, by and between Vornado Realty Trust (the "Company") and Sandeep Mathrani ("Employee").
IN CONSIDERATION of the premises and the mutual covenants set forth below, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Employment. The Company hereby agrees to employ Employee as Executive Vice President of the Company's retail division (the "Retail Division") and Employee hereby accepts such employment, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
2. Term. The period of employment of Employee by the Company hereunder (the "Employment Period") shall commence March 25, 2002 (the "Commencement Date"), and shall continue until the third anniversary thereof; provided that commencing on March 25, 2005, and upon each subsequent March 25, the Employment Period shall be automatically extended for one (1) additional year unless either party gives written notice not to extend this Agreement prior to three (3) months before such extension would be effectuated.
3. Duties and Responsibilities. During the Employment Period, Employee will serve as Executive Vice President of the Retail Division in charge of retail operations and certain residential development projects, will perform other executive duties on behalf of the Company consistent with his position and shall report to Michael Fascitelli and Steven Roth, or such other senior officer of the Company as designated by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Employee shall devote all of his working time, attention and energies during normal business hours (other than absences due to illness or vacation) to the performance of his duties for the Company.
4. Place of Performance. The principal place of employment of Employee shall be at the Company's executive offices in New York City or Paramus, New Jersey.
5. Compensation and Related Matters.
(a) Base Salary and Bonus. During the Employment Period the Company shall pay Employee a base salary at the rate of not less than $500,000 per year ("Base Salary"). Employee's Base Salary shall be paid in approximately equal installments in accordance with the Company's customary payroll practices. If Employee's Base Salary is increased by the Company, such increased Base Salary shall then constitute the Base Salary for all purposes of the Agreement. In addition to Base Salary, the Employee may be entitled to an annual incentive bonus ("Bonus") each fiscal year at the sole discretion of the Company, to be payable at the same time as bonuses are paid to other executive officers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee shall receive an annual bonus of $200,000 for the Company's current full fiscal year.
(b) Share Options. Employee shall be granted share options to purchase 225,000 shares of Common Shares of Beneficial Interest ("Stock") of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Company's 1993 Omnibus Share Plan (the "1993 Plan") at a purchase price per share equal to the fair market value of the Stock on the date the options are granted (the "Options"). Such Options shall be granted on the Commencement Date, and shall be subject to the general terms of the 1993 Plan and the share option agreement thereunder. The Options shall become exercisable at a rate of 331/3% after the first anniversary of the date of grant, and an additional 331/3% on each of the second and third anniversaries of such date, provided Employee remains an employee of the Company on such respective dates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Options will accelerate and become fully exercisable if Employee is terminated pursuant to Sections 6(e) or 6(f), or upon the sale of the Retail Division or the Company (a "Sale"). Any future share option grants shall be made to Employee on comparable terms as such grants are made to other executives of the Company heading operating divisions of similar size.
(c) Benefit Plans. Employee shall be entitled to participate in such existing employee benefit plans and insurance programs offered by the Company, or which it may adopt from time to time, for its employees generally, in accordance with the eligibility requirements for participation therein. Nothing herein shall be construed so as to prevent the Company from modifying or terminating any employee benefit plans or programs, or employee fringe benefits, it may adopt from time to time.
(d) Vacation. Employee shall be entitled to four (4) weeks vacation with pay for each year during the Employment Period.
(e) Expenses. The Company shall promptly reimburse Employee for all reasonable business expenses upon the presentation of reasonably itemized statements of such expenses in accordance with the Company's policies and procedures now in force or as such policies and procedures may be modified with respect to all executive officers of the Company.
(f) Automobile. The Company shall provide Employee with a monthly allowance of $1000 for the lease of an automobile and the expenses of operating such automobile, including gas, oil, repairs and insurance.
(g) Deferred Stock Unit Agreement. On or prior to the Commencement Date, the Employer and the Employee will enter into a Deferred Stock Unit Agreement (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A) pursuant to which the Employer shall credit to an account (the "Deferred Stock Unit Account") for the Employee a number of stock units equal to $1,000,000 divided by the fair market value of one share of Stock on the Commencement Date. Such stock units shall vest in equal annual installments over a three year period commencing from the Commencement Date and shall earlier vest if the Employee's employment is terminated pursuant to Sections 6(b),(c),(e) or (f). Notwithstanding the foregoing, such stock units shall become fully vested upon a Sale.
(h) Company Loans: During the Employment Period, upon the written request of the Employee, the Company shall disburse to the employee (i) one loan with a principal amount of $500,000 to be secured by the Deferred Stock Unit Account; and (ii) one loan with a principal amount of the lesser of $1,000,000 or 50% of the appraised value of the Employee's primary residence located at 35 East 75th St., Penthouse C, New York, NY 10021 (the "Employee Residence") to be secured by a first mortgage on the Employee Residence. The Company will designate the appraiser who shall appraise the Employee's Residence. Each of such loans shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(i) the principal amount of the $500,000 loan shall be due and payable upon the earlier of (x) the third anniversary of the Commencement Date unless extended pursuant to paragraph 2 hereof, (y) 30 days after the date of Employee's termination of employment for any reason (other than for Cause), or (z) a termination of employment for Cause;
(ii) the remaining principal amount shall be due and payable on the third anniversary of the Commencement Date.
(iii) each loan shall be subject to interest at 41/2% per annum payable monthly, which amount shall be deducted from Employee's regular paychecks; provided that after March 25, 2005, any remaining unpaid principal of each loan shall be subject to interest at a rate equal to 200 basis points over six month LIBOR. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at all times the interest rate on each loan shall exceed the applicable federal rate under Section 1274(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
(iv) the agreements evidencing each such loans shall contain such additional terms and conditions as are mutually acceptable to the Company and the Employee.
6. Termination. Employee's employment hereunder shall be terminated upon the earliest of:
(a) Expiration. The expiration of the Employment Period.
(b) Death. The death of Employee.
(c) Disability. If, as a result of Employee's Disability, Employee shall have been substantially unable to perform his duties hereunder for a period of six (6) consecutive months and within thirty (30) days after written Notice of Termination is given by the Company after such six (6) month period, Employee shall not have returned to the substantial performance of his duties on a full-time basis, the Company shall have the right to terminate Employee's employment hereunder for "Disability". For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" shall have the same meaning as that term is defined in the Company's long term disability plan; provided, that, if no such plan exists, "Disability" shall have the same meaning as provided in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code.
(d) Cause. The Company terminates Employee for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, the Company shall have "Cause" to terminate Employee's employment upon Employee's (i) willful and continued failure to substantially perform his duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from his incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after a written demand for substantial
2
performance is delivered to Employee which identifies the manner in which the Company believes that Employee has not substantially performed his duties, (ii) willful misconduct which is economically injurious to the Company or to any entity in control of, controlled by or under common control with the Company (an "Affiliate"), including, but not limited to, any breach of Sections 9 and 10 hereof, or (iii) the conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony, or (iv) habitual drug or alcohol abuse which materially impairs Employee's ability to perform his duties hereunder.
(e) Material Breach. Employee terminates his employment for a material breach of this Agreement by the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, a "material breach" shall be deemed to occur upon a failure by the Company to comply with any material provision of this Agreement which has not been reasonably cured within thirty (30) days after written notice of such noncompliance has been given by Employee to the Company.
(f) Without Cause. The Company shall have the right to terminate Employee's employment hereunder without Cause by providing Employee with a Notice of Termination.
(g) Voluntary Termination. Employee may terminate this Agreement and Employee's employment hereunder at any time upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to the Company.
7. Termination Procedure.
(a) Notice of Termination. Any termination of Employee by the Company or by Employee (other than termination pursuant to Section 6(a) or (b) hereof) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 13. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Employee under the provisions so indicated.
(b) Date of Termination. "Date of Termination" shall mean (i) if Employee's employment is terminated by the expiration of this Agreement, the date of expiration, (ii) if Employee's employment is terminated by his death, the date of his death, (iii) if Employee's employment is terminated pursuant to Section 6(c) hereof, thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination is given (provided that Employee shall not have again become available for service on a regular basis during such thirty (30) day period), (iv) if Employee's employment is terminated pursuant to Sections 6(d), 6(f) or 6(g), the date specified in the Notice of Termination, and (v) if Employee's employment is terminated for any other reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given.
8. Amounts Due Upon Termination or During Disability. In the event Employee is disabled or his employment terminates during the Employment Period, the Company shall provide Employee with the payments set forth below. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the payments set forth in this Section 8 constitute liquidated damages for termination of his employment during the Employment Period.
(a) During any period that Employee fails to perform his duties hereunder as a result of Disability ("disability period"), Employee shall continue to receive his Base Salary at the rate then in effect for such period until his employment is terminated pursuant to Section 6(c) hereof; provided, that, payments so made to Employee during the first six (6) months of the disability period shall be reduced by the sum of the amounts, if any, paid to the Employee at or prior to the time of any such payment under disability benefit plans of the Company or under the Social Security disability insurance program, and which amounts were not previously applied to reduce any such payment. Employee shall also be entitled to any other benefits or payments provided pursuant to any plan or policy of the Company in accordance with such plan's or policy's terms.
(b) If Employee's employment is terminated pursuant to Sections 6(a), 6(d) or 6(g) the Company shall pay Employee his accrued but unpaid Base Salary through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect at the time Notice of Termination is given, and the Company shall have no further obligations to Employee under this Agreement; provided, that, Employee shall be entitled to any other benefit or payment provided pursuant to any plan or policy of the Company in accordance with such plan's or policy's terms.
(c) If Employee's employment is terminated pursuant to Sections 6(e), or 6(f), the Company shall pay to Employee his (A) accrued and unpaid Base Salary through the Date of Termination and (B) a payment (the "Severance Payment") equal to the sum of (i) Employee's then current Base Salary and
3
(ii) the average of the Bonus earned by Employee, if any, in each of the two fiscal years immediately preceding the Date of Termination, or if Employee has been employed less than two fiscal years, such average shall be deemed to be $200,000. The payment described in clause (A) shall be made as soon as administratively feasible following the Date of Termination and the payment as described in clause (B) shall be paid ratably in accordance with the Company's customary payroll practices over the one year period following the Date of Termination.
In addition, if Employee's employment is terminated pursuant to Section 6 (f), he shall be provided with an office and secretarial support for the 90 day period following such termination. To the extent Employee is re-employed during the year following a termination pursuant to Section 6 (f), Employee shall give notice to Employer of such re-employment and the Severance Payments made pursuant to this paragraph shall cease.
(d) If Employee's employment is terminated pursuant to Section 6(b), the Company shall pay to Employee's estate (i) his accrued but unpaid Base Salary through the Date of Termination at the rate then in effect; and (ii) a pro rata portion (based on the number of days elapsed in the Company's fiscal year through the Date of Termination) of Employee's Bonus for the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs.
9. Confidential Information and Removal of Documents.
(a) Employee agrees to keep secret and retain in the strictest confidence all Confidential Information which relates to the Company and any of its Affiliates. "Confidential Information" (a) means information (i) that is learned by Employee from the Company or any Affiliate before or after the date of this Agreement (other than Confidential Information that was known by Employee on a nonconfidential basis prior to the disclosure thereof); (ii) that is commercially valuable to the Company and (iii) that is not published or of public record or otherwise generally known (other than through failure of Employee to fully perform his obligations hereunder), and (b) includes, without limitation, customer lists, client lists, trade secrets, pricing policies and other business affairs of the Company and any of its Affiliates. Employee agrees not to disclose any such Confidential Information to anyone outside the Company or any of its Affiliates, whether during or after his period of service with the Company, except (x) as such disclosure may be required or appropriate in connection with his service or (y) when required to do so by a court of law, by any governmental agency or by any administrative or legislative body (including a committee thereof) with apparent jurisdiction to order his to divulge, disclose or make accessible such information. Employee agrees to give the Company advance written notice of any disclosure pursuant to clause (y) of the preceding sentence and to cooperate with any efforts by the Company to limit the extent of such disclosure.
(b) All records, files, drawings, documents, models, equipment, and the like relating to the Company's business, which Employee has control over shall not be removed from the Company's premises without its written consent, unless such removal is in the furtherance of the Company's business or is in connection with Employee's carrying out his duties under this Agreement and, if so removed, shall be returned to the Company promptly after termination of Employee's employment hereunder, or otherwise promptly after removal if such removal occurs following termination of employment. Employee's rolodex, telephone directory and similar type items, and furniture, art work and property owned by Employee or otherwise not owned by the Company shall not be deemed Company property and shall not be covered by this Section 9(b). The Company shall be the owner of all trade secrets and other products relating to the Company's business developed by Employee alone or in conjunction with others as part of his employment with the Company.
10. Non-Competition.
(a) In consideration of the benefits to be provided to Employee hereunder, Employee covenants that he will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, during the Employment Period and the period of one year following his termination of employment for any reason (the "Restriction Period") other than pursuant to Section 6(a) or Section 6(c), or Section 6(f) engage in any way, directly or indirectly, in the sourcing and execution of retail building acquisition, development or leasing transactions on behalf of any public or non-public real estate company operating in any metropolitan area where the Retail Division or a residential development group of the Company (i) during the
4
Employment Period is then operating or (ii) operated during the six (6) month period preceding his termination of employment.
(b) Employee hereby covenants and agrees that, at all times during the Employment Period and for a period of one year immediately following his termination for any reason, Employee shall not represent, in connection with any retail building acquisition, development or leasing transaction to which the Company or any of its Affiliates is a party, any individual or entity who (i) is a tenant of the Company or any of its Affiliates at any time during the Employment Period or (ii) was a tenant of the Company or any of its Affiliates at any time during the six (6) month period preceding his termination of employment.

(d) Employee acknowledges that the restrictions, prohibitions and other provisions of this Section 10 are reasonable, fair and equitable in scope, terms and duration, are necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company and are a material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the restrictions contained in this paragraph be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Therefore, to the extent any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any portion of the foregoing restrictions is excessive, such provision shall not be entirely void, but rather shall be limited or revised only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable.

The foregoing remedy available to Company shall not be deemed to limit or prevent the exercise by the Company of any or all further rights and remedies which may be available to the Company hereunder or at law or in equity.
12. Successors; Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Employee, his heirs, executors, administrators, beneficiaries and assigns and shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors.

Exhibit 10.72
DEFERRED STOCK AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT, dated as of March 4, 2002, by and between Vornado Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust ("the Company") and Sandeep Mathrani (the "Employee").
WHEREAS, the Company has entered into an Employment Agreement with the Employee dated February 4, 2002 (the "Employment Agreement");
WHEREAS, the Employee and the Company desire to enter into an agreement as required pursuant to the Employment Agreement setting forth the terms under which the Company will pay to him in the future common shares of beneficial interest of the Company (the "Stock");
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the Employee and the Company agree as follows:
1. Payment of Stock. The Company agrees to pay the Employee 23,798 shares of Stock, together with such additional amounts as promised herein, at such time or times and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
2. The Stock Unit Account. The Company shall credit to a bookkeeping account (the "Account") maintained by the Company for the Employee's benefit 23,798 stock units, each of which shall be deemed to be the equivalent of one share of Stock (the "Stock Units"). One-third of the Stock Units will vest on the first anniversary of the Commencement Date (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement) and an additional one-third of the Stock Units shall vest on each of the next two anniversaries of such date, provided that Employee is still employed by the Company on each such date. The Employee shall be fully vested in all of the Stock Units in the event of the termination of his employment pursuant to Sections 6 (b), (c), (e) or (f) of the Employment Agreement. The Employee shall also be fully vested in all of the Stock Units in the event of a Sale (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement).
The Company agrees that whenever any dividend is declared on the Stock, it will pay to the Employee in cash, on the date such dividend is paid, dividend equivalents in an amount per vested Stock Unit held in the Account as of the record date for such dividend equal to the amount per share of Stock paid by the Company to the Holders of record of the Stock; provided that Employee will be paid no less than $22,500 per calendar year of employment with respect to such dividend equivalents.
3. Payment of the Account. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement the Company shall pay to the Employee on March 4, 2005 (the "Payment Date") that number of shares of Stock which is equal to the number of vested Stock Units then credited to his Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Sale, or upon the Employee's termination of employment pursuant to Sections 6(b), (c), (e) of (f) of the Employment Agreement prior to the third anniversary of the Commencement Date, the Company shall pay to the Employee that number of shares of Stock which is equal to all of the Stock Units credited to his Account, in a lump sum with 10 business days following such Sale or termination.
4. Form of Payment. Payments pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3 shall be made by the Company in a lump sum to the Employee as soon as practicable after the Payment Date, but in no case more than 10 business days after the Payment Date. The Employee may elect to change (i) the form of payment (to a lump sum or up to 10 equal annual installments) or (ii) the Payment Date to a later (but not an earlier) Payment Date, provided that any such election is made prior to January 1 of the year prior to the year in which the Payment Date then in effect would occur.
5. Beneficiary. In the event of the Employee's death prior to the payment with respect to all of the vested Stock Units credited to his Account, the remaining payments shall be made to Ayesha Bulchandani Mathrani or the last beneficiary designated in writing which is received by the Company prior to the Employee's death or, if no designated beneficiary survives the Employee, such payments shall be made in a lump sum to the Employee's estate.
6. Source of Payments. The Employee's right to receive payment under this Agreement shall be an unfunded entitlement and shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company. The Employee has only the status of a general unsecured creditor hereunder, and this Agreement constitutes only a promise by the Company to pay the value of the Account on any required payment due. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such Federal, state and local taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.
7. Nontransferability. This Agreement shall not be assignable or transferable by the Employee (otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution) or by the Company (other than to successors of the Company) and no amounts deferred under this Agreement, or any rights therein, shall be subject in any manner to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, levy, lien, attachment, garnishment, debt or other charge or disposition of any kind.
8. No Right to Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon Employee the right to remain in employment with the Company.
9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Employment Agreement contain all the understandings between the parties hereto pertaining to the matters referred to herein, and supersede all undertakings and agreements, whether oral or in writing, previously entered into by them with respect thereto.
10. Amendment or Modification; Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived unless such amendment or modification is agreed to in writing, signed by the Employee and by a duly authorized officer of the Company, and such waiver is set forth in writing and signed by the party to be charged. No waiver by any party hereto of any breach by another party hereto of any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of a similar or dissimilar condition or provision at the same tune, any prior time or any subsequent time.
11. Notices. Any notice to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered personally, sent by courier or telecopy or registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to the party concerned at the address indicated below or to such other address as such party may subsequently give notice of hereunder in writing:

13. Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each successor of the Company, and upon the Employee's beneficiaries, legal representatives or estate, as the case may be.

15. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
16. Headings. All descriptive headings of sections and paragraphs in this Agreement are intended for convenience of reference only, and they form no part of this Agreement and shall not affect its interpretation.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, MELVYN BLUM, an individual residing at 1 Central Park West, Apartment #27G, New York, New York 10023 ("Payor"), hereby promises to pay to VORNADO REALTY TRUST, a Maryland real estate investment trust ("Payee"), or its order, at its principal offices located at 888 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019, the principal amount of TWO MILLION DOLLARS ($2,000,000.00). Interest shall accrue on this Note at the rate per annum (calculated on the basis of the number of days lapsed since the last payment) equal to 1.57% and accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the tenth day following the then current calendar quarter, until the principal amount of this Note and all accrued interest hereon shall have been paid in full.
Interest due on this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual number of days elapsed during the applicable period. Any payment required to be made hereunder on a day which is not a business day shall due and owing on the first business day thereafter. Failure by the Payor to pay any sum due hereunder when due and payable which has not been cured by the Payor within 30 days following actual receipt of written notice given by the Payee shall constitute an event of default under this Note and the Payee may, at its sole option exercised by notice to the Payor, declare the entire outstanding principal balance hereof, together with all unpaid interest accrued hereon, to be immediately due and payable in full. Upon the occurrence of an event of default hereunder, the Payee may exercise all rights and remedies available to it hereunder or otherwise.
The principal amount hereof and all accrued and unpaid interest hereon shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date (as defined below). For purposes of this Note, the term "Maturity Date" shall mean the earliest of (i) 30 days from the Date Payor ceases to be employed by Payee, (ii) The Date Payor is terminated for cause and (iii) March 10, 2007. The Payor shall have the right to prepay all or any portion of the amounts evidenced by this Note at any time without premium or penalty; provided, however, such prepayment shall include all interest accrued and unpaid hereunder as of the date of such prepayment.
Failure by Payor to pay any sum due hereunder when due and payable which has not been cured by Payor within 30 days following actual receipt of written notice given by Payee, or the occurrence of an event of default under any of the documents, relating to the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall constitute an Event of Default under this note and Payee may, at its sole option exercised by notice to Payor, declare the entire outstanding principal balance hereof, together with all unpaid interest accrued hereon, to be immediately due and payable in full. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Payee may exercise all rights and remedies available to it under this note or otherwise.
If this Note is collected by legal proceedings (including proceedings in the probate or bankruptcy courts) then all costs and expenses of collection or enforcement shall be added to the principal of, and be collectible as part of, this Note.
In case any one or more of the provisions of this Note shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
THIS NOTE IS MADE UNDER AND IS TO BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CHOICE-OF-LAW RULES.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Payor has caused this instrument to be duly executed on the date in the year first above written.
