Modification Interest Period that ends in a month for which there is no day

for such payment, there is now owing under the Note and the Loan the outstanding
principal balance of TWENTY MILLION and 00/100 DOLLARS ($20,000,000.00). The
aforesaid sum is owing by Borrower to Lender without claim, defense, offset or
counterclaim of any kind or nature whatsoever.

     4.  PREPAYMENT.

         a.       Section 2.03 of the Original Credit Agreement was amended and

Such revised Section 2.03 as set forth in the 1999 Credit Agreement Modification

     "The Loan may be prepaid, in whole but not in part, on the last day of a
2000 Modification Interest Period, upon at least thirty (30) days' notice to the
Lender, provided that (i) Borrower pays Lender in connection therewith the
Indemnified Loss or Expense (as hereinafter defined), if any, (ii) any
prepayment will not affect the Borrower's obligations under any swap agreements
(as defined in 11 U.S.C. Section 101) with Lender or an affiliate of Lender,
including without limitation, all obligations to continue making payments
thereunder, which swap agreements shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding such prepayment and (iii)

                                      -5-

<PAGE>   6

Lender shall not be obligated to deliver any satisfaction of mortgage or other
release of collateral for the Loan unless all requirements and procedures for
early termination of any such swap agreements as set forth therein or in any
related document shall be fully complied with by Borrower. Any prepayment shall
include accrued and unpaid interest to the date of prepayment on the principal
amount prepaid and all other sums due and payable hereunder and under all other
Loan Documents. If Lender shall elect, in its sole discretion, to accept a
partial prepayment, all payments received may be applied in such order as Lender
in its sole discretion shall determine."

         b.       Borrower shall indemnify Lender against Lender's loss or
expense in employing deposits as a consequence of (i) the undersigned's failure
to make any payment when due hereunder, or (ii) any prepayment of the Loan on a
date other than the last day of a 2000 Modification Interest Period
(collectively, the "Indemnified Loss or Expense"). The amount of such (i)
Indemnified Loss or Expense shall be determined, in Lender's sole discretion,
based upon the assumption that Lender funded 100% of that portion of the Loan to
which the 2000 Modification LIBOR-Based Rate applies in the applicable London
interbank market.

         c.       In connection with the payment in full of the Loan, in lieu of
delivery of satisfaction(s) of mortgages or releases of mortgage, Borrower may
request that Lender deliver an assignment of mortgage with respect to one of the
mortgaged premises (and releases of mortgages with respect to the other
mortgaged premises) and Lender shall comply with such request provided that each
of the following conditions shall be satisfied to the satisfaction of Lender:

                  i.       all conditions for the delivery of satisfactions of
mortgage as set forth in the Loan Documents shall be fully satisfied;

                  ii.      all requirements and procedures for early termination
of any swap agreements as set forth therein or in any related document are fully
complied with by Borrower and all requirements for prepayment as set forth in
Paragraph 4.a. above shall be fully satisfied;

                  iii.     the assignment of mortgage shall expressly state that
it is made without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind or nature;
and

                  iv.      the Section 275 Affidavit shall be executed and
delivered by a principal of Borrower; and

                  v.       Borrower shall pay all reasonable attorneys fees
incurred by Lender in connection with the foregoing.

Conditions as hereinafter set forth, Lender hereby consents to:

                  (1)      the sale, assignment, transfer and/or conveyance

which default is not cured within thirty (30) days of notice thereof except that
if such default is not reasonably capable of cure within such 30-day period,

Notice, such indebtedness and all other Obligations shall be immediately due and
payable in full to the Secured Party; and

assign or otherwise dispose of the Collateral in whole or in part at public or
private sale for cash, upon

                                      -16-

<PAGE>   17

credit with or without advertisement of the time, place or terms of sale, except
that if the sale be a private sale, ten (10) days' notice in writing from
Secured Party of the time and place of sale and the terms of sale shall be given
to Assignor, which notice shall be deemed reasonable. The Secured Party may
divide the Collateral in any manner it shall choose and may sell, assign or
dispose of all portions or any portions of the Collateral. In case of any sale
on credit, the Collateral sold may be retained by Secured Party until the sale
price is paid, but Secured Party shall incur no liability if the purchaser fails
to perform its obligations. At any sale, Secured Party, or such individual or
individuals as may be designated by Secured Party, may purchase the security
sold, free from all further right of redemption of Assignor, which is hereby
waived and released. In case of any sale, Secured Party may first deduct all
expenses of collection, sale and delivery of the Collateral sold and any
expenses incidental thereto, including, but not limited to, taxes and reasonable
attorneys', accountants' and auctioneers' fees and disbursements, and then apply
the remaining proceeds to the satisfaction of the Obligations. In the event such
remaining proceeds are insufficient to satisfy all of the Obligations, Secured
Party shall have the right to determine in its sole discretion the particular
Obligations against which the proceeds shall be applied, and Borrower and
Assignor shall remain liable for and shall pay to Secured Party on demand the
remaining deficiency. In the event such remaining proceeds are sufficient to pay
the Obligations, any surplus shall be delivered to Assignor, provided that
Secured Party agrees to abide by an unconditional and irrevocable written
direction from Assignor (stating that it may not be revoked without the prior
written consent of Vornado) to pay such remaining proceeds to Vornado instead of
to Assignor, provided that such direction is received by Secured Party and sent
in the manner provided herein for the sending of notices to Secured Party.

      Any sale conducted upon the foregoing terms or by any other method of sale
(if conducted in conformity with practices of any banks in New York State or New
Jersey disposing of similar security) shall be deemed commercially reasonable.
Assignor agrees that Secured Party shall have the right to continue to retain
the Collateral until such time as Secured Party, in its sole discretion,
believes that an advantageous price can be obtained for the Collateral and
Secured Party shall not be liable to Assignor for any loss in the value of the
Collateral by reason of any such retention of the Collateral by Secured Party.

      Secured Party, at its sole option and election, may proceed against the
Collateral either before, after or at the same time as a mortgage foreclosure,
deed in lieu of mortgage foreclosure or other enforcement of its rights with
respect to its mortgage encumbering the 59th Street Property. Secured Party
shall have the right, at its sole option and election, to proceed against the
Collateral pursuant to or in connection with a mortgage foreclosure action with
respect to the 59th Street Property and/or pursuant to the rights granted to
Secured Party under this Agreement.

     Section 5.3. Waivers.

          (A)     Assignor waives presentment, demand, notice (except to the
extent otherwise provided herein), protest, notice of acceptance of this
Security Agreement, notice of loans made, credit extended, collateral received
or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and
notices of any description. With respect to the Obligations, the Loan Documents
and the Collateral, Assignor assents to any extension or postponement of the
time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or
release of the Collateral, to the addition or release of any party or person
primarily or secondarily liable, to the acceptance of partial payments therefrom
and the settlement, compromising or adjusting of any thereof, all in such manner
and at such time or times as Secured Party may deem advisable.

                                      -18-

<PAGE>   19

Secured Party shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the
Collateral or any income thereon, nor as to the preservation of rights against
prior parties, nor as to the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto.

          (B)     Secured Party shall not, under any circumstances or in any
event whatsoever, have any liability for any error or omission or delay of any
kind occurring in the liquidation or any realization upon any of the Collateral,
if undertaken in accordance with this Agreement, including any instrument
received in payment thereof, or any damage resulting therefrom unless caused by
the gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of Secured Party. Assignor
shall indemnify and hold harmless Secured Party against any claim, loss or
damage (including attorney's fees, costs and disbursements of Secured Party)
arising out of the liquidation of or realization upon any of the Collateral,
including any instrument received in payment thereof unless caused by the gross
negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of the Secured Party.

     Section 5.4. Remedies Cumulative.

          (A)     No remedy conferred upon or reserved to Secured Party
hereunder is or shall be deemed to be exclusive of any other available remedy or
remedies. Each such remedy shall be distinct, separate and cumulative, shall not
be deemed to be inconsistent with or in exclusion of any other available remedy,
may be exercised in the sole discretion of Secured Party at any time, in any
manner, and in any order, and shall be in addition to and separate and distinct
from every other remedy given Secured Party under the Loan Documents, any other

Secured Party shall have the right to exercise any available remedy to recover
any amount due and payable with respect to the Obligations without regard to
whether any other amount is due and payable, and without prejudice to Secured
Party to exercise any available remedy for other events of default existing at

the strict performance by Assignor or Borrower of any of the covenants,
conditions and agreements herein set forth or to exercise any right or remedy
available to it upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder shall not
impair any such right or remedy or be considered or taken to constitute an
estoppel against, or be a waiver or relinquishment of, the future right of
Secured Party to insist upon and to enforce, by injunction or other appropriate
legal or equitable remedy, strict compliance by Assignor and Borrower with all
of the covenants, conditions and agreements herein, or under any of the other
Loan Documents or of the right to exercise any such rights or remedies if such
default by Assignor be continued or repeated. Regardless of consideration and

on the Collateral, Secured Party may (i) release any part of the security
described herein or any other security for the Obligations, (ii) release the
obligations of any person primarily or contingently liable for the debts secured
hereby or (iii) extend the time for payment or otherwise modify the terms of any
of the other Obligations. No such release, extension or modification shall
impair or affect the lien of this Security Agreement or its priority over any
subordinate lien. Neither Assignor nor any other person primarily or
contingently liable for the payment of the debts secured hereby shall be
relieved of any liability by reason of (i) any such release, extension or
modification, (ii) the failure of Secured Party to comply with any request of
Assignor or any such person to foreclose this Security Agreement, or (iii) any
agreement or stipulation between any subsequent owner of
