hereinafter set forth, to make advances, upon the request of the Borrower, on or
after the Closing Date, with the aggregate amount of such advances, regardless
of any repayment or prepayment thereof, being no more than Fifty Million and

failure to note the principal amount of the Loan shall not affect the Borrower's
obligations under the Loan Documents. Lender and Borrower acknowledge that as of
the date hereof, $24,000,000.00 of the Loan has been advanced and remains
outstanding.


                                      -9-

provided in the Loan Documents.

         SECTION 2.03. Prepayments. The Borrower may, upon at least two (2)
days' notice to the Lender prepay all or any portion of the outstanding
principal amount of the Loan, together with (i) accrued interest to the date of
such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid and (ii) if the entire
outstanding principal amount of the Loan is repaid, all other accrued and unpaid
amounts due hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

         SECTION 2.04. Interest. (a) Ordinary Interest. The Borrower shall pay
interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loan owing to the Lender from the
Closing Date, until such principal amount shall be paid in full, payable in
arrears on the fifteenth day f each month (each an "Interest Payment Date") at a
rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate, but in no event shall the Loan be
repaid later than the Maturity Date.

         (b) Default Interest. From and after the Maturity Date and upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default specified in
Section 7.01 of this Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall pay interest on (i)
the unpaid principal amount of the Loan and (ii) the amount of any interest, fee
or other amount due and payable hereunder which is not paid when due, from the
date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, in either
clause (i) or (ii) payable immediately on the Maturity Date or on demand after
such occurrence and during such continuance, at a rate per annum equal at all
times to the Default Rate.

         (c) Late Charges. In the event any payment of principal or any interest
is not made within five (5) days after the date on which such amount first
becomes due and payable, the Lender may, at its option, require the Borrower to
make an additional payment to the Lender as a late charge in an amount equal to
5% of such overdue amount.

         SECTION 2.05. Increased Costs. If, with respect to any assignee of the
Lender or a Participant that is a bank (a "Bank Lender"), due to either (i) the
introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation (other than a law or regulation relating to taxes) or (ii) the
compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other
governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be
any increase in the amount of capital required by such Bank Lender or authority
to be maintained by such Bank Lender or any corporation controlling Bank Lender
as a result of or based upon the existence of Bank Lender's commitment to lend
hereunder then, upon demand by Bank Lender, the Borrower shall pay to Bank
Lender, from time to time as reasonably specified by Bank Lender, additional
amounts sufficient to compensate Bank Lender in the light of such circumstances,
to the extent that Bank Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital to
be allocable to the existence of the Loan.

         SECTION 2.06. Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrower shall make
each payment required to be made hereunder and under the Notes not later than
11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the day when due in U.S. dollars to the

         (b) All computations of interest and fees shall be made by the Lender
on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days
(including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for
which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Lender of an
interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
absent manifest error.

         (c) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated
to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the
next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be
included in the computation of payment of interest.

         (d) The Borrower covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so)
that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever
claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury or similar law wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or
the performance of this Credit Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents;
and the Borrower (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly
waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not
hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Lender,
but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such
law had been enacted. It is the intent of the Lender and the Borrower in the
execution of the Notes, this Credit Agreement and all other instruments now or
hereafter securing the Notes or executed in connection therewith or under any
other written or oral agreement by the Borrower in favor of the Lender to
contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law. In furtherance thereof,
the Lender and the Borrower stipulate and agree that none of the terms and
provisions contained in the Notes, this Credit Agreement or any other instrument
securing the Notes or executed in connection herewith, or in any other written
or oral agreement by the Borrower in favor of the Lender, shall ever be
construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of
money, interest at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted to be
charged by applicable law. Neither the Borrower nor any guarantors, endorsers or
other parties now or hereafter becoming liable for payment of the Notes shall
ever be required to pay interest on the Notes or on indebtedness arising under
any instrument securing the Notes or executed in connection therewith, or in any
other written or oral agreement by the Borrower in favor of the Lender, at a
rate in excess of the maximum interest that may be lawfully charged under
applicable law, and the provisions of this Section 2.06(d) shall control over
all other provisions of the Notes, this Credit Agreement and any other
instruments now or hereafter securing the Notes or executed in connection
herewith or any other oral or written agreements that may be in apparent
conflict herewith. The Lender expressly disavows any intention to charge or
collect excessive unearned interest or finance charges in the event the maturity
of the Notes is accelerated. If the maturity of the Notes shall be accelerated
for any reason or if the principal of the Notes is paid prior to the end of the
term of the Notes, and as a result thereof the interest received for the actual
period of existence of the Loan exceeds the applicable maximum lawful rate, the
Lender shall, at its option, either refund to the Borrower the amount of such
excess or credit the amount of such excess against the principal balance of the
Notes then outstanding and thereby shall render inapplicable any and all
penalties of any kind provided by applicable law as a result of such excess
interest. In the event that the Lender shall collect monies and/or any other
thing of value that are then or at any time deemed to constitute interest that
would increase the effective interest rate on the Notes to a rate in excess of
that permitted to be charged by applicable law, an amount equal to interest in
excess of the


                                      -11-
<PAGE>
lawful rate shall, upon such determination, at the option of the Lender, be
either immediately returned to the Borrower or credited against the principal
balance of the Notes then outstanding, in which event any and all penalties of
any kind under applicable law as a result of such excess interest shall be
inapplicable. By execution of this Credit Agreement, the Borrower acknowledges
that it believes the Loan to be non-usurious and agrees that if, at any time,
the Borrower should have reason to believe, that the Loan is in fact usurious,
it will give the Lender notice of such condition and the Borrower agrees that
the Lender shall have ninety (90) days after receipt of such notice in which to
make appropriate refund or other adjustment in order to correct such condition
if in fact such exists.

         SECTION 2.07. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder
or under the Notes shall be made, in accordance with this Section 2.07, free and
clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings other than (i) net income taxes,
franchise taxes and similar taxes imposed on the Lender or a Participant, (ii)
any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been
imposed but for the failure of the Lender or a purchaser of all or a portion of
the Lender's or a Participant's rights and obligations under this Credit
Agreement to comply with any certification, identification or other reporting
requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with
the United States of the Lender or a Participant, if compliance is required by
statute or by regulation of the United States Treasury Department as a
precondition to exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental
charge, (iii) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not
have been imposed but for either (a) a sale or other transfer of all or a
portion of the Lender's or a Participant's rights and obligations under this
Credit Agreement to a Person that is not an entity that is treated as a
corporation organized or created under the laws of the United States or of any
State for U.S. federal tax purposes or (b) Lender's merger or consolidation
with, or transfer of substantially all of its assets to, another entity, and
(iv) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been
imposed but for any present or former connection between the Lender or a
Participant (or a shareholder of the Lender or a Participant) and the
jurisdiction imposing such tax, assessment or other governmental charge,
including, without limitation, the Lender or a Participant's being or having
been a citizen or resident of, present or engaged in a trade or business in,
such jurisdiction, but excluding a connection arising solely as a result of the
Lender's having entered into, received payments under and enforced this Credit
Agreement (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges,
withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). If the
Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any
sum payable hereunder or under the Notes to the Lender, (i) the sum payable
shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required
deductions for Taxes (including deductions ("Additional Taxes") applicable to
additional sums payable pursuant to this sentence), the Lender receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,
(ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay
the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority
in accordance with applicable law.

         (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp,
documentary, excise, property or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise
from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or from the execution,
delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Credit Agreement
or the Notes (hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").


                                      -12-

Taxes, and Other Taxes, paid by the Lender and any liability (including
penalties, additions to tax, Additional Taxes, interest and expenses) arising
therefrom or with respect thereto except as may arise as a result of the
Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

         (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower
shall furnish to the Lender, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, the
original receipt of payment thereof or a certified copy of such receipt.

         (e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the
Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in
this Section 2.07 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest
hereunder and under the Note.

         SECTION 2.08. Payment of Certain Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall
pay to the Lender within five (5) days after demand therefor all reasonable
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements)
incurred by the Lender in connection with (i) the approval of any lease, (ii)
the preparation, negotiation and execution of any non-disturbance agreement
requested for any lease, (iii) review and approval of any plans, construction
contracts or any other documents relating to construction or development of a
Property; and (iv) the assignment of any liens of the Mortgages pursuant to
Section 7.08.

         SECTION 2.09. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loan shall be
available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) only to
provide working capital for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

average daily principal amount of the Loans outstanding under the Line of Credit
during any calendar month, or part thereof, is less than the maximum amount
which may be borrowed under the Line of Credit (the "Maximum Loan Amount"),
Borrower shall pay Lender an unused line of credit fee (the "Unused Line Fee")
on the shortfall at a rate equal to one percent (1%) per annum. The Unused Line
Fee shall be calculated as of the last day of each calendar month for the
shortfall in average daily usage during said calendar month and shall be 1/12th
of what the annual fee would be if the shortfall existed for an entire year. On
or around March 1st of each year, Lender shall bill Borrower for the aggregate
Unused Line Fees, if any, then due, for the preceding 12 month period and
Borrower shall pay such Unused Line Fees within 10 days after the receipt of
such bill.

<PAGE>
to undertake any such cleanup, removal, remedial or other action to the extent
that its obligation to do so is being contested in good faith and by proper
proceedings and with respect to which (i) there is no reasonable likelihood of
any risk of criminal or material civil liability to the Lender, (ii) there is no
reasonable likelihood that the Borrower's or any of its Subsidiaries' properties
or the lien of the Mortgages shall be subject to the risk, respectively, of
forfeiture or impairment and (iii) appropriate reserves are being maintained

Mortgagor or other Subsidiary shall be required to preserve any right or
franchise if the Board of Directors or general partners of the Borrower or such
Mortgagor or other Subsidiary shall determine that the preservation thereof is
no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Borrower or such or
other Subsidiary, as the case may be, and that the loss thereof is not
disadvantageous in any material respect to the Borrower, such Mortgagor or other
Subsidiary or the Lender.

         (f) Inspection Rights. At any reasonable time and from time to time, in
each case upon reasonable prior notice, and at such times as shall not
unreasonably disrupt tenants, permit the Lender or any agents or representatives
thereof, to examine, audit and make copies of and abstracts from the records and

lease of 10,000 square feet or less unless (i) such lease requires the Lender to
provide a non-disturbance agreement to the lessee or (ii) such lease is not on
commercially reasonable terms. It is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed by
the Lender that all leases at any Property identified on the certified rent roll
delivered to the Lender prior to the date hereof are and shall be deemed to be

Subsidiaries to conduct, all transactions otherwise permitted under the Loan
Documents with any of their Affiliates or any Permitted Related Owners on terms

Properties except to (i) any Mortgagor, (ii) any Person described in clause (a)
of the definition of Permitted Related Owner, (iii) any Person described in

the 59th Street Property, 731 Commercial LLC and 731 Residential LLC, or to the

receiver of a Property sought to be transferred to such Permitted Related Owner
has proposed to enter into a lease at such Property or take any other action
which would materially adversely affect the Borrower's qualification as a REIT
and the Borrower has given ten (10) days' notice to the Lender of its intention
to transfer such Property to such Permitted Related Owner and (y) in the case of
the 59th Street Property, residential condominium units may be sold.

provided further, with respect to Borrower only, that an automatic exchange

Management Agreement, not less than 30 days prior to the commencement of each
fiscal year, an annual operating budget relating to the Properties for the

business, financial condition, operations, performance or properties of any Loan
Party as the Lender may from time to time reasonably request.

         SECTION 5.03. Covenants of the Lender. (a) The Lender hereby covenants
to Borrower that it will not exercise any rights, including rights exercisable
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, that it has arising from or as a
result of this Credit Agreement or any related agreement to cause Borrower or
any Subsidiary of Borrower or any Permitted Related Owner to (i) enter into a
lease or lease amendment that either (A) provides for payments that are based,
directly or indirectly (including through sub-leasing), upon the net "income or
profits" of any person (as defined in Section 856(d) (2) of the Code) or (B)
requires Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower or any Permitted Related Owner
to provide a service to a tenant, other than through an independent contractor
(as defined in Section 856(d)(2) of the Code), where the provision of such
service by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Permitted Related Owner
would cause rents received by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to fail to
be "rents from real property" under Section 856(d)(2) of the Code, (ii) engage
in a new line of business which (A) is unrelated to the development or leasing
of real property and (B) would create a substantial risk, as a result of its
generation of income not described in Section 856(c)(2) or (c)(3) of the Code,
that Borrower would fail to qualify as a REIT under the Code or (iii) acquire an
asset that would cause Borrower to fail to satisfy the asset test of Section
856(c)(5) of the Code; provided, however, that the foregoing covenants of this
Section 5.04(a) shall not (x) preclude the Lender from collecting amounts due to
the Lender under this Credit Agreement or from foreclosing on any property
securing such indebtedness or (y) be deemed to have been breached or violated by
the Lender as a result of any act or action (including, without limitation, the
execution of a lease) made, done or taken by any receiver for any property of
any Loan Party (including a receiver appointed at the request of the Lender)
unless a motion to compel such act or action was made by the Lender to the court
which appointed such receiver.

         (b)      The Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts to preserve the
confidentiality of any Confidential Information received by it from the Borrower
except as required by law or court order.

         (c)      The Lender shall execute and deliver a non-disturbance
agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (with such changes as
the Lender may reasonably request) in connection with any lease approved by the
Lender pursuant to Section 5.01(i) where the tenant is a nationally recognized
credit-worthy retail tenant, provided that the tenant under such Lease shall
require such non-disturbance agreement.

                                  ARTICLE VI.

                               SPECIAL PROVISIONS

         SECTION 6.01. Condemnation and Casualty. (a) In the event of any
condemnation or casualty of any Property in part or in the entirety, the
proceeds of such condemnation or casualty, to the extent not retained or
otherwise applied by the holder of any mortgage securing Senior Debt on such
Property, or by the holder of the Construction Loan, applied as required
pursuant to any Major Lease approved by the Lender at the Property or applied by
such mortgagee or in accordance with such Major Lease either to restore the
improvements on such Property or to reduce such Senior Debt or the Construction
Loan, as applicable, applied as required pursuant to any condominium declaration
and/or related by-laws affecting any Property that has previously been approved
by Lender to restore the improvements on such Property or applied in accordance
with the Loan Documents, shall be immediately deposited by Borrower in a cash
collateral account to be maintained by Borrower at a depository designated by
Lender and under the sole dominion and control of Lender (the "Cash Collateral
Account") pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into between
Borrower, Lender and such Depository (the "Cash Collateral Agreement"); (such
proceeds of condemnation so deposited being herein called "Condemnation
Proceeds"; such proceeds of casualty so deposited being herein called "Casualty
Proceeds"; and Condemnation Proceeds and/or Casualty Proceeds being herein
called "Proceeds") and shall constitute additional collateral for the Loan
Obligations.

         (b)      Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall be entitled to withdraw any
Condemnation Proceeds from the Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of
acquiring additional real estate assets with the consent of the Lender, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that, subject to the Loan
Documents, the Loan Agreements and the Other Vornado Loans (i) Borrower shall
have delivered to Lender an appraisal for such real estate (x) for an amount at
least equal to the amount of the Condemnation Proceeds sought to be withdrawn by
the Borrower to purchase such real estate and (y) issued by an appraisal company
and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lender; (ii) the
Borrower shall have delivered to Lender environmental, engineering and such
other studies, reports, documents, title reports, violation searches and other
information relating to such real estate as would be generally required by the
Lender in accordance with good institutional lending practices, all of which
studies, reports, documents and other information shall be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Lender; (iii) the Lender shall be granted a
priority lien mortgage on said real estate to further secure the Guaranty (the
"Additional Mortgage"); (iv) the Borrower shall have delivered to Lender a
paid-up mortgage title insurance policy in favor of Lender, insuring the
Additional Mortgage as a second priority mortgage on such real estate, subject
to no encumbrances or other title exceptions except those title exceptions which
Lender reasonably determines are acceptable based on good institutional lending
practices; and (v) the Borrower shall have paid all reasonable costs and
expenses of the Lender (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses)
incurred by the Lender in connection with the review of any of the foregoing
conditions.

         (c)      The Borrower shall also have the right to withdraw the
Condemnation Proceeds remaining in the Cash Collateral Account to pay for the
cost of constructing improvements on


                                      -26-
<PAGE>
any Property covered by any Mortgage, and the Borrower shall have the right to
withdraw any Casualty Proceeds in the Cash Collateral Account to pay for the
repair and restoration of improvements whose damage or destruction generated
such Casualty Proceeds, provided that, in all cases, subject to the Loan
Documents, the Loan Agreements and any condominium declaration and/or related
by-laws affecting such Property that has previously been approved by Lender and
the Other Vornado Loans: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall be continuing;
(ii) the Lender shall have approved the plans and specifications for the
construction of such improvements as well as the general contract and other
major contracts to be entered into by the Borrower in connection with such
construction, which approval will not unreasonably be withheld; (iii) the Lender
shall have received such certification and assurances as Lender shall reasonably
request to assure it that the cost of constructing the improvements as shown on
the plans approved by Lender does not exceed the amount of the Proceeds sought
to be withdrawn by the Borrower to pay for such improvements; and (iv) the
Lender may impose such further conditions and restrictions upon the disbursement
of such Proceeds as the Lender deems necessary or desirable, consistent with
prudent institutional construction lending practices, to assure the completion
of the proposed improvements subject to no liens or encumbrances (except
Permitted Liens) and in accordance with the aforesaid approved plans and all
applicable laws.

         SECTION 6.02. Payment of REIT Dividends. In the event that the Borrower
shall determine, upon the advice of counsel then generally used by Borrower for
tax advice, that it shall be required to pay a dividend or make a distribution
to stockholders in order to preserve its qualification as a REIT, whether or not
the Proceeds shall have been applied as contemplated pursuant to Section 6.01
(b) or (c), then, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower
may, with the consent of the Lender (i) incur unsecured subordinated
indebtedness for the purpose of paying such dividend or making such distribution
or to pay such dividend or make such distribution in the form of subordinated
indebtedness and/or (ii) withdraw Proceeds from the Cash Collateral Account to
pay such dividend or make such distribution.

                                  ARTICLE VII.

                                EVENTS OF DEFAULT

         SECTION 7.01. Events of Default. If any of the following events
("Events of Default") shall occur and be continuing:

         (a)      the Borrower shall fail to pay (i) any principal of the Loan,
when the same becomes due and payable or (ii) any other payment under any Loan
Document, in each case under this clause (ii) within five days after notice of
the same becoming due and payable; or

         (b)      any representation or warranty made by any Loan Party (or any
of its officers) under or in connection with any Loan Document shall prove to
have been incorrect in any material respect when made; or

         (c)      the Borrower shall fail to perform or observe, in any material
respect, any term, covenant or agreement contained in Section 5.02; or


                                      -27-
<PAGE>
         (d)      except as otherwise specified in such Loan Document, any Loan
Party shall fail to perform any other term, covenant or agreement contained in
any Loan Document on its part to be performed or observed if such failure shall
remain unremedied for 30 days after written notice (or such longer period, if
any, as may be set forth in the applicable covenant or agreement) thereof shall
have been given to the Borrower by the Lender; or

         (e)      any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries shall fail to pay
any principal of, premium or interest on or any other amount payable in respect
of or any Subordinated Debt of such Loan Party or such Subsidiary (as the case
may be), when the same becomes due and payable (whether by scheduled maturity,
required prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise), and such failure shall
continue after the applicable notice and grace period, if any, specified in the
agreement or instrument relating to such Subordinated Debt; or any other event
shall occur or condition shall exist under any agreement or instrument relating
to any such Subordinated Debt and shall continue after the applicable notice and
grace period, if any, specified in such agreement or instrument, if the effect
of such event or condition is to accelerate the maturity of such Subordinated
Debt or otherwise to cause such Subordinated Debt to mature; or any such
Subordinated Debt shall be declared to be due and payable or required to be
prepaid or redeemed (other than by a regularly scheduled required prepayment or
redemption), purchased or defeased, or an offer to prepay, redeem, purchase or
defease such Subordinated Debt shall be required to be made, in each case prior
to the stated maturity thereof; or

         (f)      any Loan Party shall generally not pay its debts as such debts
become due, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally,
or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or any
proceeding shall be instituted by or against any Loan Party seeking to
adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief, or composition of
it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief
or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, or other similar official for it or
for any substantial part of its property and, in the case of any such proceeding
instituted against it (but not instituted by it) that is being diligently
contested by it in good faith, either such proceeding shall remain undismissed
or unstayed for a period of 60 days or any of the actions sought in such
proceeding (including, without limitation, the entry of an order for relief
against, or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar
official for, it or any substantial part of its property) shall occur; or any
Loan Party shall take any corporate action to authorize any of the actions set
forth above in this subsection (f); or

         (g)      any judgment or order for the payment of money in excess of
$500,000 shall be rendered against any Loan Party, and either (i) enforcement
proceedings shall have been commenced and be continuing by any creditor upon
such judgment or order or (ii) there shall be any period of 20 consecutive days
during which a stay of enforcement of such judgment or order, by reason of a
pending appeal or otherwise, shall not be in effect; or

         (h)      any non-monetary judgment or order shall be rendered against
any Loan Party that is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, and
there shall be any period of 20 consecutive days during which a stay of
enforcement of such judgment or order, by reason of a pending appeal or
otherwise, shall not be in effect; or


                                      -28-
<PAGE>
         (i)      any material provision of any Loan Document after delivery
thereof shall for any reason cease to be valid and binding on or enforceable
against any Loan Party to it, or any such Loan Party shall so state in writing;
or

         (j)      except as otherwise permitted under Section 5.02(a), any
Collateral Document after delivery thereof shall for any reason (other than
pursuant to the terms thereof) cease to create a valid and perfected Lien on the
Collateral purported to be covered thereby with the priority of liens set forth
therein;

         (k)      any Event of Default (as such term is defined in any Loan
Document) shall occur and be continuing;

         (l)      any Event of Default (as such term is defined in any loan
document of the Other Vornado Loans) shall occur and be continuing; or

         (m)      any Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Loan
Agreements of the Construction Loan) shall occur and be continuing;

then, and in any such event, the Lender may, by notice to the Borrower, declare
the Loan Obligations, together with all interest thereon and all other amounts
payable under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, to be
forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Notes, all such interest and all such
amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment,
demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived by the Borrower; provided, however, that in the event of an actual or
deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Loan Party under the
United States Bankruptcy Code, the Notes, all such interest and all such amounts
shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand,
protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by
the Borrower.

                                 ARTICLE VIII.

         SECTION 8.01. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision
of this Credit Agreement or the Note, nor consent to any departure by the

waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which given.

         SECTION 8.03. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Lender
to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under the Notes
shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive
of any remedies provided by law.

         SECTION 8.04. Costs, Expenses. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay on demand
(i) all reasonable costs and expenses of the Lender in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of
the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel for the Lender with respect thereto) and (ii) all reasonable
costs and expenses of the Lender in connection with the enforcement of the Loan
Documents, whether in any action, suit or litigation, any bankruptcy, insolvency
or other similar proceeding affecting creditors' rights generally or otherwise


                                      -30-
<PAGE>
(including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for
the Lender with respect thereto).

         (b)      The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Lender
and each of their Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents
and advisors (each, an "Indemnified Party") from and against any and all claims,
damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or
awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in
connection with or by reason of, or in connection with the preparation for a
defense of, any investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out of, related
to or in connection with (i) the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the
actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on any property or any
Environmental Action relating in any way to any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries, (iii) disputes with any architect, general contractor,
subcontractor, materialman or supplier, or on account of any act or omission to
act by the Lender in connection with any Property, (iv) any untrue statement of
a material fact contained in information submitted to the Lender by the Borrower
or the omission of any material fact necessary to be stated therein in order to
make such statement not misleading or incomplete, (v) the failure of the
Borrower or any Loan Party to perform any obligations required to be performed
by the Borrower or any Loan Party under any Loan Document and (vi) the
ownership, construction, occupancy, operation, use or maintenance of any of the
Properties, in each case whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated, except (i) to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or
expense is found to have resulted from any Indemnified Party's gross negligence
or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
8.04(b), the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify any Indemnified
Party against, or hold it harmless from, (i) any judgment rendered by a court of
competent jurisdiction against any Indemnified Party and in favor of the
Borrower, or (ii) any legal fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party
in defending the action brought by the Borrower which resulted in such judgment
in favor of the Borrower, but the foregoing provisions of this sentence shall
not diminish or otherwise affect the Borrower's liability for payment of all
legal fees and expenses incurred by the Lender in enforcing the Lender's rights
and remedies under any of the Loan Documents.

         (c)      In case any action shall be brought against the Lender or any
other Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the
Borrower, the Lender or such other Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the
Borrower and the Borrower shall assume the defense thereof, including the
employment of counsel selected by the Borrower and reasonably satisfactory to
the Lender, the payment of all costs and expenses and the right to negotiate and
consent to settlement. The failure of the Lender to so notify the Borrower shall
not relieve the Borrower of any liability it may have under the foregoing
indemnification provisions or from any liability which it may otherwise have to
the Lender or any of the other Indemnified Parties except to the extent that the
Borrower incurs actual expenses or suffers actual monetary loss as a result of
such failure to give notice. The Lender shall have the right, at its sole
option, to employ separate counsel and as long as Borrower is complying with its
indemnification obligations hereunder, the fees and disbursements of such
separate counsel shall be paid by Lender. The Borrower shall not be liable for
any settlement of any such action effected without its consent, but if settled
with the Borrower's consent, or if there be a final judgment for the claimant in
any such action, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Lender
from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

         (d)      If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or
other amounts payable by it under any Loan Document, including, without
limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be
paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Lender, in its sole discretion.

         (e)      The provisions of this Section 8.04 shall survive the
repayment or other satisfaction of the Borrower's Obligations hereunder.

         SECTION 8.05. Merger. This Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents constitute the sole agreement of the parties with respect to the
transactions contemplated herein and therein and supersede all oral negotiations
and prior writings with respect thereto.

         SECTION 8.06. Binding Effect. This Credit Agreement shall become
effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Lender and
thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the
Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower
shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein
without the prior written consent of the Lender.

         SECTION 8.07. Lender's Discretion. Except as otherwise specified in
this Credit Agreement, whenever this Credit Agreement provides that the Lender's
consent or approval is required, or that any action may be taken or not taken at
the Lender's option, such consent or approval may be given or not, and such
action may be taken or not, in the Lender's sole discretion. Any reference in
this Credit Agreement to Lender's consent or approval being required shall be
deemed to refer to Lender's prior consent or approval given in writing.

         SECTION 8.08. Participations. (a) The Lender may sell participations in
up to one-third of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement
(including, without limitation, of its Loan and the Notes held by it) (the
purchaser of any rights and obligations being referred to herein as a
"Participant"); provided, however, that (i) the obligations of the Borrower and
the Lender under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain
unchanged, (ii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower shall
continue to deliver all notices, communications and payments solely to the
Lender and any such notice, communication or payment shall be valid and
effective for all purposes hereunder notwithstanding any such sale of
participations. Upon the sale of any participation permitted hereunder, the
Borrower shall cooperate with such reasonable requests of the Lender, at the
sole expense of the Lender, to sever and split the note issued hereunder among
the Lender and any Participants.

         (b)      The Lender may, in connection with any participation or
proposed participation pursuant to this Section 8.08, disclose to the
Participant or proposed Participant, any information relating to the Borrower
furnished to the Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided, however,
that, prior to any such disclosure, the Participant or proposed Participant
shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information
received by it from the Lender.

         (c)      Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Credit
Agreement, the Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any
portion of its rights under this Credit Agreement (including, without
limitation, the Loan and the Notes held by it) in favor of


                                      -32-

any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

         SECTION 8.09. Governing Law. This Credit Agreement and the Note shall
be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New
York.

         SECTION 8.10. Execution in Counterparts. This Credit Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an
original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this
Credit Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart of this Credit Agreement.

         SECTION 8.11. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Borrower and the Lender
hereby irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding
or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or
relating to any of the Loan Documents, the Loan or the actions of the Lender in
the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement thereof. The
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this section is a specific and material
aspect of this Credit Agreement and that the Lender would not extend credit to
the Borrower if the waiver set forth in this section were not a part of this
Credit Agreement.

         SECTION 8.12. Jurisdiction. The Borrower irrevocably appoints each and
every owner, partner and/or officer of the Borrower as its attorneys upon whom
may be served, by regular or certified mail at the address set forth herein, any
notice, process or pleading in any action or proceeding against it arising out
of or in connection with this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; and
the Borrower hereby consents that any action or proceeding against it may be
commenced and maintained in any court within the State of New Jersey or the
State of New York or in the United States District Court for the District of New
Jersey or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
by service of process on any such owner, partner and/or officer; and the
Borrower agrees that the courts of the State of New Jersey and the courts for
the State of New York and the courts for the United States District Court for
the District of New Jersey and the courts for the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York shall have jurisdiction with respect to
the subject matter hereof and the person of the Borrower and all collateral
securing the obligations of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees not to assert any
defense to any proceeding initiated by the Lender in such court based upon
improper venue or inconvenient forum. The foregoing shall not limit, restrict or
otherwise affect the right of the Borrower or the Lender to commence any action
on this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in any other courts having
jurisdiction.

         SECTION 8.13. Continuing Enforcement. If, after receipt of any payment
of all or any part of the Borrower's Obligations hereunder, the Lender is
required by law in connection with insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, bankruptcy
or similar proceedings to surrender such payment then this Credit Agreement and
the other Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect, and the
Borrower shall be liable for, and shall indemnify defend and hold harmless the
Lender with respect to the full amount so surrendered. The provisions of this
Section 8.13 shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and shall remain effective notwithstanding the payment of
the Borrower's Obligations hereunder, the


                                      -33-
<PAGE>
cancellation of the Notes or any other Loan Document, the release of any
security interest, lien or encumbrance securing the Borrower's Obligations
hereunder or any other action which the Lender may have taken in reliance upon
its receipt of such payment. Any cancellation, release or other such action by
the Lender shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon any payment of the
Borrower's Obligations hereunder having become final and irrevocable.
