PART I
 
ITEM 1.
BUSINESS
 
GENERAL
 
Acadia Realty Trust (the “Company” or “Acadia”) was formed on March 4, 1993 as a Maryland Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”). The Company is a fully integrated, self-managed and self-administered equity REIT focused primarily on the ownership, acquisition, redevelopment and management of neighborhood and community shopping centers. The Company currently operates 69 properties, which it owns or has an ownership interest in, consisting of 64 neighborhood and community shopping centers, one shopping center under development, one enclosed mall, one mixed-use property (retail/residential) and two multi-family properties, which are located primarily in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern regions of the United States and, in total, comprise approximately 9.6 million square feet.
 
All of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and its majority-owned subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2004, the Company controlled 99% of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner. As the general partner, the Company is entitled to share, in proportion to its percentage interest, in the cash distributions and profits and losses of the Operating Partnership. The limited partners represent entities or individuals who contributed their interests in certain properties or partnerships to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common or preferred units of limited partnership interest (“Common OP Units” or “Preferred OP Units”). Limited partners holding Common OP Units are generally entitled to exchange their units on a one-for-one basis for common shares of beneficial interest of the Company (“Common Shares”). This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or “UPREIT”.
 
On August 12, 1998, the Company completed a major reorganization (“RDC Transaction”) in which it acquired 12 shopping centers, five multi-family properties and a 49% interest in one shopping center along with certain third party management contracts and promissory notes from real estate investment partnerships (“RDC Funds”) managed by affiliates of RD Capital, Inc. In exchange for these and a cash investment of $100.0 million, the Company issued 11.1 million Common OP Units and 15.3 million Common Shares to the RDC Funds. These OP Units and Common Shares were distributed to the respective limited partners of the RDC Funds during 2000. After giving effect to the conversion of the Common OP Units the RDC Funds beneficially owned 72% of the Common Shares as of the closing of the RDC Transaction. During February of 2003, the Company issued additional Common OP Units and cash valued at $2.8 million to certain limited partners in connection with its obligation under the RDC Transaction. The payment was due upon the commencement of rental payments from a designated tenant at one of the properties acquired in the RDC Transaction.
 
During 2001, certain of the Company’s larger shareholders expressed a desire for liquidity. The Company determined that it was in the best interest of the Company to provide an opportunity for all shareholders wishing to sell their Common Shares to be able to do so in a manner that would not negatively impact its share price. To accomplish this goal, the Company conducted a “Modified Dutch Auction” tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) which permitted it to provide liquidity to some shareholders and at the same time benefit its remaining shareholders by acquiring shares at an attractive price. Upon completion of the Tender Offer in February 2002, the Company purchased 4,136,321 Common Shares and 1,387,653 Common OP Units (collectively, “Shares”), at a Purchase Price of $6.05. This included 600,000 Shares purchased from Ross Dworman, former Chairman of the Board of Trustees, who participated in the Tender Offer. The aggregate purchase price paid for the 5,523,974 Shares was $33.4 million.
 
In addition to its direct investments in real estate assets, the Company has also capitalized on its expertise in the acquisition, redevelopment, leasing and management of retail real estate by establishing a joint venture in which the Company earns, in addition to a return on its equity interest, fees for its services. In September 2001, the Company and four of its institutional shareholders formed a joint venture, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund, LP (“Fund I”), whereby the investors committed $70 million for the purpose of acquiring real estate assets. The Company, which contributed an additional $20 million to Fund I, is the general partner with a 22% interest. In addition to a pro-rata return on its invested equity, the Company is entitled to a profit participation based upon certain investment return thresholds. Cash flow is distributed pro-rata to the partners (including the Company) until they have received a 9% cumulative return on, and a return of all capital contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is distributed 80% to the partners (including the Company) and 20% to the Company. The Company also earns a fee for asset management services equal to 1.5% of the total equity commitments, as well as fees for property management, leasing and construction services.
 
A total of 2,212 Series A Preferred OP Units (“Series A Units”) were issued November 16, 1999 in connection with the acquisition of all the partnership interests of the limited partnership which owns the Pacesetter Park Shopping Center. These Series A Units have a stated value of $1,000 each and are entitled to a quarterly preferred distribution of the greater of (i) $22.50 (9% annually) per Series A Units or (ii) the quarterly distribution attributable to a Series A Units if such unit were converted into a Common OP Unit. The Series A Units are currently convertible into Common OP Units based on the stated value divided by $7.50. After November 16, 2006, either the Company or the holders can call for the conversion of the Series A Units at the lesser of $7.50 or the market price of the Common Shares as of the conversion date. A total of 1,580 Series A Units were outstanding as of December 31, 2004 following the conversion of 632 Series A Units to Common OP Units during 2003.

On January 27, 2004, the Operating Partnership issued 4,000 Series B Preferred Units (“Series B Units”) in connection with the acquisition from Klaff Realty, L.P. (“Klaff”) of its rights to provide asset management, leasing, disposition, development and construction services for an existing portfolio of retail properties (the “Klaff Properties”) totaling approximately 10 million square feet of retail space located throughout the United States. The acquisition involves only Klaffs’ rights associated with operating the Klaff Properties and does not include equity interests in assets owned by Klaff or Lubert-Adler. The Series B Units have a stated value of $1,000 each and are entitled to a quarterly preferred distribution of the greater of (i) $13.00 (5.2% annually) per Series B Units or (ii) the quarterly distribution attributable to a Series B Unit if such unit were converted into a Common OP Unit. The Series B Units are convertible into Common OP Units based on the stated value of $1,000 divided by $12.82 at any time. Additionally, the holder of the Series B Units may redeem them at par for either cash or Common OP Units (at the Company’s option) after the earlier of January 27, 2007, or the occurrence of certain events including a change in control of the Company. Finally, after January 27, 2009, the Company may redeem the Series B Units and convert them into Common OP Units at market value as of the redemption date. In response to a subsequent request from Klaff, the Company’s Board of Trustees approved a waiver on February 24, 2004 which allows Klaff to redeem 1,500 Series B Units at any time for cash. Klaff has not redeemed any Series B Units as of the date of this Form 10K filing.
 
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
 
Acquisition Initiatives
 
On June 15, 2004, the Company closed its second acquisition fund, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II), which includes all of the investors from Fund I as well as two new institutional investors. With $300 million of committed discretionary capital, Fund II expects to be able to acquire up to $900 million of real estate assets on a leveraged basis. The Company is the managing member with a 20% interest in Fund II. The terms and structure of Fund II are substantially the same as Fund I with the exceptions that the preferred return is 8% and the asset management fee is calculated on committed equity of $250 million through June 15, 2005 and then on the total committed equity of $300 million thereafter. To date, Fund II has invested in the RCP Venture and the New York Urban Infill Redevelopment initiative as discussed below.
 
On January 27, 2004, in addition to acquiring the management rights to the Klaff Properties as discussed in further detail in “Business-General” in Item 1 of this Form 10K, the Company also entered into the Retailer Controlled Property Venture (the “RCP Venture”) with Klaff and Klaff’s long time capital partner Lubert-Adler Management, Inc. (“Lubert-Adler”) for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers. The initial size of the RCP Venture is expected to be approximately $300 million in equity based on anticipated investments of approximately $1 billion. Each participant in the RCP Venture has the right to opt out of any potential investment. The Company and its current acquisition funds, Funds I and II, anticipate investing 20% of the equity of the RCP Venture. Cash flow is to be distributed to the partners until they have received a 10% cumulative return and a full return of all contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is to be distributed 20% to Klaff (“Klaff’s Promote”) and 80% to the partners (including Klaff). The Company will also earn market-rate fees for property management, leasing and construction services on behalf of the RCP Venture. In the third quarter of 2004, the Company made its first RCP Venture investment with its participation in the acquisition of Mervyn’s as discussed in “PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS” in Item 1 of this Form 10-K and the RCP Venture is currently exploring additional investment opportunities.
 
In September of 2004, Acadia launched its New York Urban Infill Redevelopment initiative. As retailers are beginning to recognize that many of the nation’s urban markets are underserved from a retail standpoint, the Company intends to capitalize on this trend by investing in redevelopment projects in dense urban areas where retail tenant demand has effectively surpassed the supply of available sites.  To date, the Company, in conjunction with its investment partner, P/A Associates, LLC (“P/A”), has invested in two projects through Fund II as discussed further in “PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS” in this Item 1 of this Form 10-K.
 
The membership agreement between Fund II and P/A provides, among other things, that, subject to a maximum of $2 million, P/A will contribute 10% of the first $10.0 million of required capital for the joint venture and 5% of the required capital thereafter. Cash flow is to be distributed pro-rata to the members until they have received a 10% cumulative return and a full return of all contributions. Thereafter, 60% of the remaining cash flow is to be distributed to Fund II and 40% to P/A, subject to Fund II receiving an 18% internal rate of return on all invested capital. The Company will also earn market-rate fees for property management, leasing and construction services on behalf of Fund II.
 
Capital Market Transactions
 
In March of 2004, a secondary public offering was completed for a total of 5,750,000 Common Shares. The selling shareholders, Yale University and its affiliates (“Yale”) and Ross Dworman, a former trustee, sold 4,191,386 and 1,558,614 Common Shares, respectively. Yale was a major participant in the RDC Transaction, owning, at one time, approximately one-third of all outstanding Common Shares of the Company. Following this transaction, Yale owned approximately 4.6 million Common Shares, or approximately 16% of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares. The Company did not sell any Common Shares in the offering and did not receive any proceeds from the offering.

During November 2004, the Company issued 1,890,000 Common Shares (the “Offering”). The Offering was made pursuant to shelf registration statements filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and previously declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2000, May 14, 2003 and March 19, 2004. The $28.3 million in proceeds from the Offering, net of related costs, were used to retire above-market, fixed-rate indebtedness as well as to invest in real estate assets. Yale, and Kenneth F. Bernstein, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, also sold 1,000,000, and 110,000 Common Shares, respectively, in connection with this transaction.  Mr. Bernstein sold 110,000 Common Shares in connection with his exercise of options to purchase 150,000 Common Shares. In connection with the Offering, the Company and all insiders, including Yale, agreed to a 90-day lockup period. After the Offering, Yale owned approximately 3.6 million Common Shares, or approximately 12% of all outstanding Common Shares of the Company.
 
Corporate Governance Initiatives
 
In March of 2004, following the initial restructuring of its governing process and the establishment of the position of an independent Lead Trustee in 2003, Acadia announced the next phase of its corporate governance initiatives. In connection with the Company’s efforts to transition to a more independent board of trustees, it announced that four individuals would not stand for re-election at its 2004 annual meeting of shareholders. Mr. Bernstein, along with four independent trustees, were re-elected and two new independent trustees were elected. In addition, Mr. Dworman, former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, resigned as a trustee. In conjunction with his resignation, Mr. Dworman exercised all of his outstanding share options. These options to purchase one million common shares at $7.50 per share were granted pursuant to the RDC Transaction. As a result of the 2004 governance initiatives, six of the Company’s seven board members are currently independent.
 
BUSINESS OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES
 
The Company’s primary business objective is to acquire and manage commercial retail properties that will provide cash for distributions to shareholders while also creating potential for capital appreciation to enhance investor returns. The Company focuses on the following fundamentals to achieve this objective:
 
Own and operate a portfolio of community and neighborhood shopping centers anchored by necessity-based and value-oriented retail and located in markets with strong demographics
Maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet through conservative financial practices while ensuring access to sufficient capital to fund future growth
Generate internal growth within the portfolio through aggressive redevelopment, re-anchoring and leasing activities
Generate external growth through an opportunistic yet disciplined acquisition program. The emphasis is on targeting transactions with high inherent opportunity for the creation of additional value through redevelopment and leasing and/or transactions requiring creative capital structuring to facilitate the transactions
 
Growth Strategy - Opportunistic Acquisition Platforms
 
In 2002 and 2003, Acadia’s acquisition program was executed exclusively through its acquisition joint venture, Fund I. Historically, the Company has focused on targeting assets for acquisition that have superior in-fill locations, restricted competition due to high barriers of entry and in-place below-market anchor leases with the potential to create significant additional value through re-tenanting, timely capital improvements and property redevelopment. The Company has considered both single assets and portfolios in its acquisition program. Although the Company currently operates properties in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest region, and therefore focused on potential acquisitions within these geographic areas, it would consider portfolio acquisitions outside its current geographic footprint.
 
Following its success with Fund I, the Company formed a second, larger acquisition joint venture, Fund II, during 2004 as discussed in  “RECENT DEVELOPMENTS” in Item 1 of this Form 10-K.  As the demand for retail real estate has significantly increased during 2003 and 2004, there has been a commensurate increase in selling prices. In an effort to generate superior risk-adjusted returns for its shareholders and joint venture investors, the Company channeled its acquisition efforts in two new opportunistic joint ventures launched during 2004 – the RCP Venture and New York Urban Infill initiative (also discussed in  “RECENT DEVELOPMENTS” in Item 1 of this Form 10-K). .
 
The Company will seek to invest opportunistically, through Funds I and II, in the RCP Venture primarily in the following three ways:
 
 
working with financially healthy retailers to create value from their surplus real estate;
 
acquiring properties, designation rights or other control of real estate or leases associated with retailers in bankruptcy; and
 
completing sale/leasebacks with retailers in need of capital.
 
The Company also intends to invest, through Fund II, in the New York Urban Infill initiative, which focuses on investing in redevelopment projects located in dense urban population areas where retail tenant demand has effectively surpassed the supply of available sites.
 
The Company may also invest in preferred equity investments, mortgages, other real estate interests and other investments. The mortgages in which the Company invests in may be either first mortgages or mezzanine debt, where the Company believes the underlying value of the real estate collateral is in excess of its loan balance.
 
6

 
The Company also regularly engages in discussions with public and private entities regarding business combinations. Furthermore, the Company may consider either acquiring directly or engaging in additional joint ventures related to property acquisition and development. The requirements that acquisitions be accretive on a long-term basis based on the Company’s cost of capital, as well as increase the overall portfolio quality and value, are core to the Company’s acquisition program. As such, the Company constantly evaluates the blended cost of equity and debt and adjusts the amount of acquisition activity to align the level of investment activity with capital flows.
 
Operating Strategy - Experienced Management Team with Proven Track Record
 
Acadia’s senior management team has an average of 7 years with the Company and its predecessors and 24 years in the real estate industry. During 2002, the management team successfully completed a multi-year portfolio repositioning initiative that significantly improved the quality of the Company’s portfolio and tenant base. The Company believes its management team has demonstrated the ability to create value internally through anchor recycling, property redevelopment and strategic non-core dispositions.
 
Operating functions such as leasing, property management, construction, finance and legal (collectively, the “Operating Departments”) are provided by Company personnel, providing for fully integrated property management and development. By incorporating the Operating Departments in the acquisition process, acquisitions are appropriately priced giving effect to each asset’s specific risks and returns. Also, because of the Operating Departments involvement with, and corresponding understanding of, the acquisition process, transition time is minimized and management can immediately execute on an asset’s strategic plan.
 
The Company typically holds its properties for long-term investment. As such, it continuously reviews the existing portfolio and implements programs to renovate and modernize targeted centers to enhance the property’s market position. This in turn strengthens the competitive position of the leasing program to attract and retain quality tenants, increasing cash flow and consequently property value. The Company also periodically identifies certain properties for disposition and redeploys the capital to existing centers or acquisitions with greater potential for capital appreciation. The Company’s portfolio consists primarily of neighborhood and community shopping centers, which are generally dominant centers in high barrier-to-entry markets. The anchors at these centers typically pay market or below-market rents and have low rent-to-sales ratios, which are, on average, less than 5%. Furthermore, supermarket tenants anchor approximately two-thirds of the core portfolio. These attributes enable the properties to better withstand a weakening economy while also creating opportunities to increase rental income.
 
Financing Strategy
 
The Company intends to continue financing acquisitions and property redevelopment with sources of capital determined by management to be the most appropriate based on, among other factors, availability, pricing and other commercial and financial terms. The sources of capital may include cash on hand, bank and other institutional borrowing, the sale of properties and issuance of equity securities. The Company continually focuses on maintaining a strong balance sheet when considering the sourcing of capital. The Company manages its interest rate risk primarily through the use of variable and fixed rate debt. It also utilizes LIBOR swap agreements in managing its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. See Item 7A for a discussion on the Company’s market risk exposure related to its mortgage debt.
 
PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS
 
RCP Venture
 
In September 2004, the Company made its first RCP Venture investment with its participation in the acquisition of Mervyn’s. Affiliates of Funds I and Fund II, through separately organized, newly formed limited liability companies on a non-recourse basis, invested in the acquisition of Mervyn’s through the RCP Venture, which, as part of an investment consortium of Sun Capital and Cerberus, acquired Mervyn’s from Target Corporation. The total acquisition price was approximately $1.2 billion subject to debt of approximately $800.0 million. Affiliates of Funds I and II invested equity aggregating $23.2 million on a non-recourse basis, which was divided equally between them, with the Company's total share of equity investment equaling $4.9 million. Mervyn’s is a 257-store discount retailer with a very strong West Coast concentration. The majority of the stores are well-located in high-barrier to entry markets, which we believe gives a recapitalized and refocused operator the opportunity to create a productive retail platform and subsequent future value.
 
New York Urban Infill Initiative
 
Fordham Road - On September 29, 2004, in conjunction with its investment partner, P/A, the Company (through Fund II) purchased 400 East Fordham Road in The Bronx, NY. The property, a multi-level retail and commercial building, is located at the intersection of East Fordham Road and Webster Avenue, near Fordham University. Acadia believes Fordham Road is the strongest retail area in The Bronx and the third largest retail corridor in New York City, with over 650,000 people in a two-mile radius and retail sales in excess of $500 million. Sears is the major tenant of the property, retailing on four levels.
 
The redevelopment of the property is scheduled to commence in 2007 following the expiration of the Sears lease, which was originally signed in 1964. However, depending on current negotiations with both Sears and other potential anchors, the timeframe of the redevelopment may be accelerated. The strength of the retail market in The Bronx is evidenced by core retail rents exceeding $75 per square foot in the marketplace with many retailers utilizing multi-level formats. As part of the redevelopment, there is the potential for additional expansion of up to 85,000 square feet of space. The total cost of the redevelopment project, including the acquisition cost of $30 million, is estimated to be between $65 and $70 million, depending on the ultimate scope of the project.

Pelham Manor - On October 1, 2004, Fund II initiated its second urban/infill project in conjunction with P/A. Fund II entered into a 95-year ground lease to redevelop a 16-acre site in Pelham Manor, Westchester County, New York. The property is in an upper middle-income, infill neighborhood located approximately 10 miles from Manhattan with over 400,000 people in a three-mile radius. The redevelopment contemplates the demolition of the existing industrial and warehouse buildings, and replacing them with a multi-anchor community retail center. The Company anticipates the redevelopment to cost between $30 and $33 million, with construction anticipated to commence within the next 12 to 24 months. In the interim, the property will continue to be operated as an industrial and warehouse facility. Prior to commencement of the redevelopment process, the ground rent payment is projected to equal the warehouse rents collected.
 
Fund I
 
To date, Fund I has purchased a total of 35 assets totaling 2.7 million square feet. Details of these acquisitions are as follows:
 
2004 Acquisitions
 
On March 11, 2004, Fund I, in conjunction with the Company’s long-time investment partner, Hendon Properties (“Hendon”), purchased a $9.6 million first mortgage loan from New York Life Insurance Company for $5.5 million. The loan, which was secured by a 235,000 square foot shopping center in Aiken, South Carolina, was in default at acquisition. Fund I and Hendon acquired the loan with the intention of pursuing ownership of the property securing the debt. Fund I provided 90% of the equity capital and Hendon provided the remaining 10% of the equity capital used to acquire the loan. Hendon is entitled to receive profit participation in excess of its proportionate equity interest. The property is currently anchored by a Kroger supermarket and was only 56% occupied at acquisition due to the vacancy of a former Kmart store. Subsequent to the acquisition of the loan, Fund I and Hendon obtained fee title to this property and currently plan to redevelop and re-anchor the center. The Company loaned $3.2 million to the property-owning entity in connection with the purchase of the first mortgage loan. The note matures March 9, 2006, and bears interest at 7% for the first year and 6% for the second year. In addition to its loan to Fund I, the Company invested $0.9 million, primarily its pro-rata share of equity as a partner in Fund I. In September 2004, Fund I and Hendon purchased the Pine Log Plaza for $1.5 million. The 35,000 square foot center is located in front of and adjacent to the Hitchcock Plaza. Related to this transaction, the Company provided an additional $0.75 million loan to Fund I with a March 2006 maturity and interest at 7% for the first year and 6% for the second year.
 
In May 2004, Fund I and an unaffiliated partner, each with a 50% interest, acquired a 35,000 square foot shopping center in Tarrytown, New York, for $5.3 million. Related to this acquisition, the Company loaned $2.0 million to Fund I which bears interest at the prime rate and matures May 2005. The 35,000 square foot, Westchester, NY property (New York City MSA), was formerly anchored by a 25,000 square foot Grand Union supermarket. The redeveloped property will include a 15,000 square foot Walgreen’s drugstore, a 10,000 square foot junior anchor with the balance of space leased to shop tenants.
 
In May 2004, Fund I acquired a 50% interest in the Haygood Shopping Center and the Sterling Heights Shopping Center for an aggregate investment of $3.2 million. These assets are part of the portfolio that the Company currently manages as a result of its January 2004 acquisition of certain management contracts. The Haygood Shopping Center is a 165,000 square foot shopping center located in Virginia Beach, VA. It is currently 69% occupied and anchored by Rose’s Department Store and Eckerd Drug. Redevelopment of this property will most likely include the replacement of Rose’s with a new supermarket anchor. The Sterling Heights Shopping Center, located in Sterling Heights, MI (suburb of Detroit), totals 141,000 square feet. The property is also 69% occupied and is anchored by Burlington Coat Factory. Redevelopment activities will include the complete renovation of the property and the re-leasing of the current vacancy.
 
2003 and 2002 Acquisitions
 
Brandywine Portfolio - In January of 2003, Fund I acquired a major open-air retail complex located in Wilmington, Delaware. The approximately 1.0 million square foot value-based retail complex consists of the following two properties:
 
Market Square Shopping Center -A 103,000 square foot community shopping center (including a 15,000 square foot outparcel building) which is 100% leased and anchored by a T.J. Maxx and a Trader Joe’s gourmet food market.
 
Brandywine Town Center - A two phase open-air value retail center. The first phase (“Phase I”) is approximately 450,000 square feet and 100% occupied, with tenants including Lowe’s, Bed Bath & Beyond, Regal Cinema, Michaels, Petsmart, Old Navy, Annie Sez, Thomasville Furniture and Dick’s Sporting Goods. The second phase (“Phase II”) consists of approximately 420,000 square feet of existing space, of which Target occupies 138,000 square feet and Bombay occupies 9,000 square feet. The balance of Phase II is currently not occupied.
 
The initial investment for this portfolio was approximately $86.3 million, inclusive of closing and other related acquisition costs. Fund I will also pay additional amounts for the current vacant space in Phase II when and if it is leased and occupied (the “Earn-out”). To date, Fund I has incurred costs of $20.6 million for Earn-out space. The additional investment for Earn-out space is projected to be between $25.0 million and $30.0 million.

Kroger/Safeway Portfolio – In January of 2003, Fund 1 formed a joint venture (the “Kroger/Safeway JV”) with an affiliate of real estate developer and investor AmCap Incorporated (“AmCap”) for the purpose of acquiring a portfolio of twenty-five supermarket leases for $48.9 million inclusive of the closing and other related acquisition costs. The portfolio, which aggregates approximately 1.0 million square feet, consists of 25 anchor-only leases with Kroger (12 leases) and Safeway supermarkets (13 leases). The majority of the properties are free-standing and all are triple-net leases. The Kroger/Safeway JV acquired the portfolio subject to long-term ground leases with terms, including renewal options, averaging in excess of 80 years, which are master leased to a non-affiliated entity. The rental options for the supermarket leases at the end of their primary lease term in approximately five years (“Primary Term”) are at an average of $5.13 per square foot. Although there is no obligation for the Kroger/Safeway JV to pay ground rent during the Primary Term, to the extent it exercises an option to renew a ground lease for a property at the end of the Primary Term, it will be obligated to pay an average ground rent of $1.55 per square foot.

Ohio Portfolio – In September of 2002, Fund I acquired three supermarket-anchored shopping centers located in Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio for a total purchase price of $26.7 million. Additional information on these properties is included in Item 2 of this Form 10-K.
 
OTHER INVESTMENTS
 
In March of 2005, the Company invested $20 million in a preferred equity position (“Preferred Equity”) with Levitz SL, L.L.C. (“Levitz SL”), the owner of 2.5 million square feet of fee and leasehold interests in 30 locations (the “Properties”), the majority of which are currently leased to Levitz Furniture Stores. Klaff is a managing member of Levitz SL. The Preferred Equity receives a return of 10%, plus a minimum return of capital of $2 million per annum. At the end of 12 months, the rate of return will be reset to the six-month LIBOR plus 644 basis points. The Preferred Equity is redeemable at the option of Levitz SL at any time, although if redeemed during the first 12 months, the redemption price is equal to the outstanding amount of the Preferred Equity, plus the return calculated for the remainder of the 12-month period.
 
ASSET SALES
 
A significant component of the Company’s business has been its multi-year plan to dispose of non-core real estate assets. The Company began this initiative following the RDC Transaction and completed it in 2002. Non-core assets were identified based on factors including property type and location, tenant mix and potential income growth as well as whether a property complemented other assets within the Company’s portfolio. The Company sold 28 non-core assets in connection with this initiative comprising a total of approximately 4.6 million square feet of retail properties and 800 multi-family units, for a total sales price of $158.4 million which generated net sale proceeds to the Company of $82.5 million.
 
The Company also periodically identifies certain properties for disposition and redeploys the capital to existing centers or acquisitions with greater potential for capital appreciation. In 2004, the Company disposed of the East End Centre, a 308,000 square foot shopping center, formerly anchored by an Ames department store located in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania for $12.4 million.

PROPERTY REDEVELOPMENT AND EXPANSION
 
The Company’s redevelopment program focuses on selecting well-located neighborhood and community shopping centers and creating significant value through re-tenanting and property redevelopment. During 2004, the Company completed the redevelopment of the New Loudon Center, located  in Latham, New York. A new anchor, The Bon Ton Department Store,  opened for business during the fourth quarter of 2003 as part of the redevelopment of this shopping center. Occupying 66,000 square feet formerly occupied by an Ames department store, Bon Ton is paying base rent at a 15% increase over that of Ames. During 2004, Marshall’s, an existing tenant at the center, expanded its current 26,000 square foot store to 37,000 square feet. The Company also installed a new 49,000 square foot Raymour and Flanigan Furniture store at this center during 2004. This community shopping center is now 100% occupied. Total costs incurred to date by the Company for this project totaled $0.4 million.
 
The Company has re-anchored the Town Line Plaza, located in Rocky Hill, Connecticut, with a new Super Stop & Shop supermarket, replacing a former GU Markets supermarket. The former building was demolished and replaced with a 66,000 square foot Super Stop & Shop. The new supermarket anchor is paying gross rent at a 33% increase over that of the former tenant with no interruption in rent payments. Total costs incurred for this project totaled $1.7 million.
 
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT MARKET SEGMENTS
 
The Company has two reportable segments: retail properties and multi-family properties. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements appearing in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company evaluates property performance primarily based on net operating income before depreciation, amortization and certain non-recurring items. The reportable segments are managed separately due to the differing nature of the leases and property operations associated with retail versus residential tenants. The Company does not have any foreign operations. See the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for certain information on industry segments as required by Item 1.
 
CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS AND EMPLOYEES
 
The Company’s executive offices are located at 1311 Mamaroneck Avenue, Suite 260, White Plains, New York 10605, and its telephone number is (914) 288-8100. The Company has 129 employees, of which 65 are located at the executive office, 7 at the Pennsylvania regional office and the remaining property management personnel are located on-site at the Company’s properties.

RISK FACTORS
 
If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition would likely suffer. This section includes or refers to certain forward-looking statements. Refer to the explanation of the qualifications and limitations on such forward-looking statements discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company relies on revenues derived from major tenants.
 
The Company derives significant revenues from certain anchor tenants that occupy space in more than one center. The Company could be adversely affected in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of, or a downturn in the business of, any of the Company’s major tenants, or in the event that any such tenant does not renew its leases as they expire or renews at lower rental rates. Vacated anchor space not only would reduce rental revenues if not re-tenanted at the same rental rates but also could adversely affect the entire shopping center because of the loss of the departed anchor tenant’s customer drawing power. Loss of customer drawing power also can occur through the exercise of the right that most anchors have to vacate and prevent re-tenanting by paying rent for the balance of the lease term, or the departure of an anchor tenant that owns its own property. In addition, in the event that certain major tenants cease to occupy a property, such an action may result in a significant number of other tenants having the right to terminate their leases, or pay a reduced rent based on a percentage of the tenant’s sales, at the affected property, which could adversely affect the future income from such property.
 
Tenants may seek the protection of the bankruptcy laws, which could result in the rejection and termination of their leases and thereby cause a reduction in the cash flow available for distribution by the Company. Such reduction could be material if a major tenant files bankruptcy. See the discussion of bankruptcy risks under Risk Factors.
 
Limited control over joint venture investments.
 
The Company’s joint venture investments may involve risks not otherwise present for investments made solely by the Company, including the possibility that the Company’s joint venture partner might have different interests or goals than the Company does. Other risks of joint venture investments include impasse on decisions, such as a sale, because neither the Company nor a joint venture partner would have full control over the joint venture. Also, there is no limitation under the Company’s organizational documents as to the amount of funds that may be invested in joint ventures.
 
Under the terms of the Company’s Funds I and II joint ventures, the Company is required to first offer to Funds I and II all of the Company’s opportunities to acquire retail shopping centers. Only if (i) the Company’s joint venture partner elects not to approve Funds I and II’s pursuit of an acquisition opportunity (ii) the ownership of the acquisition opportunity by Funds I and II would create a material conflict of interest for the Company, (iii) the Company requires the acquisition opportunity for a “like-kind” exchange; or (iv) the consideration payable for the acquisition opportunity is the Company’s Common Shares, OP Units or other securities, may the Company pursue the opportunity directly. As a result, the Company may not be able to make attractive acquisitions directly and may only receive a minority interest in such acquisitions through Funds I and II.
 
The Company operates through a partnership structure, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to manage the Company’s assets.
 
The Company’s primary property-owning vehicle is the Operating Partnership, of which the Company is the general partner. The Company’s acquisition of properties through the Operating Partnership in exchange for interests in the Operating Partnership may permit certain tax deferral advantages to limited partners who contribute properties to the Operating Partnership. Since properties contributed to the Operating Partnership may have unrealized gain attributable to the difference between the fair market value and adjusted tax basis in such properties prior to contribution, the sale of such properties could cause adverse tax consequences to the limited partners who contributed such properties. Although the Company, as the general partner of the Operating Partnership, generally has no obligation to consider the tax consequences of the Company’s actions to any limited partner, there can be no assurance that the Operating Partnership will not acquire properties in the future subject to material restrictions designed to minimize the adverse tax consequences to the limited partners who contribute such properties. Such restrictions could result in significantly reduced flexibility to manage the Company’s assets.
 
There are risks relating to investments in real estate.
 
Value of Real Estate is Dependent on Numerous Factors. Real property investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. Real estate values are affected by a number of factors, including: changes in the general economic climate, local conditions (such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate in an area), the quality and philosophy of management, competition from other available space, the ability of the owner to provide adequate maintenance and insurance and to control variable operating costs. Shopping centers, in particular, may be affected by changing perceptions of retailers or shoppers regarding the safety, convenience and attractiveness of the shopping center and by the overall climate for the retail industry generally. Real estate values are also affected by such factors as government regulations, interest rate levels, the availability of financing and potential liability under, and changes in, environmental, zoning, tax and other laws. As substantially all of the Company’s income is derived from rental income from real property, the Company’s income and cash flow would be adversely affected if a significant number of the Company’s tenants were unable to meet their obligations, or if the Company were unable to lease on economically favorable terms a significant amount of space in the Company’s properties. In the event of default by a tenant, the Company may experience delays in enforcing, and incur substantial costs to enforce, the Company’s rights as a landlord. In addition, certain significant expenditures associated with each equity investment (such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes and maintenance costs) are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the investment.

The bankruptcy of, or a downturn in the business of, any of the Company’s major tenants may adversely affect the Company’s cash flows and property values.
 
The bankruptcy of, or a downturn in the business of, any of the Company’s major tenants causing them to reject their leases, or not renew their leases as they expire, or renew at lower rental rates may adversely affect the Company’s cash flows and property values. Furthermore, the impact of vacated anchor space and the potential reduction in customer traffic may adversely impact the balance of tenants at the center.
 
Certain of the Company’s tenants have experienced financial difficulties and have filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“Chapter 11 Bankruptcy”). Pursuant to bankruptcy law, tenants have the right to reject their leases. In the event the tenant exercises this right, the landlord generally has the right to file a claim for lost rent equal to the greater of either one year’s rent (including tenant expense reimbursements) for remaining terms greater than one year, or 15% of the rent remaining under the balance of the lease term, but not to exceed three years rent. Actual amounts to be received in satisfaction of those claims will be subject to the tenant’s final plan of reorganization and the availability of funds to pay its creditors.
 
Since January 1, 2002, there have been three significant tenant bankruptcies within the Company’s portfolio. On January 22, 2002 Kmart filed for protection under Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. This tenant currently operates in five locations in the Company’s wholly-owned portfolio totaling approximately 520,000 square feet. Rental revenues from Kmart at these locations totaled $2.7 million, $2.8 million and $2.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Kmart also operated in a location occupying 101,000 square feet at a property in which the Company holds a 49% ownership interest. The Company’s pro-rata share of rental revenues from the tenant at this location were $0.6 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. On May 5, 2003, Kmart emerged from bankruptcy and continues to operate at all of the above locations.
 
On May 30, 2003, The Penn Traffic Company (“Penn Traffic”) filed for protection under Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. Penn Traffic operates in one location in the Company’s wholly-owned portfolio in 52,000 square feet. Rental revenues from this tenant at this location were $0.5 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Penn Traffic also operated in a location occupying 55,000 square feet at a property in which the Company, through Fund I, holds a 22% ownership interest. The Company’s pro-rata share of rental revenues from the tenant at this location were $22,000, $147,000 and $36,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Penn Traffic continues to operate in the Company’s wholly-owned location and has assumed this lease. Penn Traffic rejected the lease at the Fund I location on February 20, 2004.
 
On January 14, 2004, KB Toys (“KB”) filed for protection under Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. KB operated in five locations in the Company’s wholly-owned portfolio totaling approximately 41,000 square feet. Rental revenues from KB at these locations aggregated $ 0.8 million, $0.7 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. KB also operated in a location occupying 20,000 square feet at a property in which the Company holds a 22% ownership interest. Through Fund I, the Company’s pro-rata share of rental revenues from the tenant at this location were $37,000, $87,000 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. KB rejected the lease at two of the locations and continues to operate in three of the Company’s wholly-owned location but has neither assumed nor rejected these three leases. The tenant has rejected the lease at the Fund I property.
 
The Company could be adversely affected by poor market conditions where properties are geographically concentrated.
 
The Company’s performance depends on the economic conditions in markets in which the Company’s properties are concentrated. The Company has significant exposure to the New York region, from which the Company derives 29% of the annual base rents within its wholly-owned portfolio. The Company’s operating results could be adversely affected if market conditions, such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate, in this area becomes more competitive relative to other geographic areas.
 
The Company’s ability to change the Company’s portfolio is limited because real estate investments are illiquid.
 
Equity investments in real estate are relatively illiquid and, therefore, the Company’s ability to change the Company’s portfolio promptly in response to changed conditions will be limited. The Company’s board of trustees may establish investment criteria or limitations as it deems appropriate, but currently does not limit the number of properties in which the Company may seek to invest or on the concentration of investments in any one geographic region. The Company could change the Company’s investment, disposition and financing policies without a vote of the Company’s shareholders.
 
Market interest rates could have an adverse effect on the Company’s share price.
 
One of the factors that may influence the trading price of the Company’s Common Shares is the annual dividend rate on the Company’s Common Shares as a percentage of its market price. An increase in market interest rates may lead purchasers of the Company’s Common Shares to seek a higher annual dividend rate, which could adversely affect the market price of the Company’s Common Shares and the Company’s ability to raise additional equity in the public markets.
 
12

 
The Company could become highly leveraged, resulting in increased risk of default on the Company’s obligations and in an increase in debt service requirements which could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and the Company’s ability to pay distributions .
 
The Company has incurred, and expects to continue to incur, indebtedness in furtherance of the Company’s activities. Neither the Company’s Declaration of Trust nor any policy statement formally adopted by the Company’s board of trustees limits either the total amount of indebtedness or the specified percentage of indebtedness that the Company may incur. Accordingly, the Company could become more highly leveraged, resulting in increased risk of default on the Company’s obligations and in an increase in debt service requirements which could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and the Company’s ability to make distributions.
 
The Company’s loan agreements contain customary representations, covenants and events of default. Certain loan agreements require the Company to comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants, including the maintenance of certain debt service coverage and leverage ratios. In addition, as of December 31, 2004, loans secured by five of the Company’s properties, totaling $44.5 million, are subject to cross-collateralization and cross-default provisions and two loans, aggregating $29.9 million, are also subject to cross- collateralization and cross-default provisions.
 
Interest expense on the Company’s variable debt as of December 31, 2004 would increase by $70,000 annually for a 100 basis point increase in interest rates. The Company may seek additional variable-rate financing if and when pricing and other commercial and financial terms warrant. As such, the Company would consider hedging against the interest rate risk related to such additional variable-rate debt through interest rate swaps and protection agreements, or other means.
 
The Company may not be able to renew current leases and the terms of re-letting (including the cost of concessions to tenants) may be less favorable to the Company than current lease terms.
 
Upon the expiration of current leases for space located in the Company’s properties, the Company may not be able to re-let all or a portion of that space, or the terms of re-letting (including the cost of concessions to tenants) may be less favorable to the Company than current lease terms. If the Company is unable to re-let promptly all or a substantial portion of the space located in the Company’s properties or if the rental rates the Company receives upon re-letting are significantly lower than current rates, the Company’s net income and ability to make expected distributions to the Company’s shareholders will be adversely affected due to the resulting reduction in rent receipts. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to retain tenants in any of the Company’s properties upon the expiration of their leases. See Item 2 – Properties – Lease Expirations in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information as to the scheduled lease expirations in the Company’s portfolio.
 
Possible liability relating to environmental matters.
 
Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations, as an owner of real property, the Company may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances at, on, in or under the Company’s property, as well as certain other potential costs relating to hazardous or toxic substances (including government fines and penalties and damages for injuries to persons and adjacent property). These laws may impose liability without regard to whether the Company knew of, or were responsible for, the presence or disposal of those substances. This liability may be imposed on the Company in connection with the activities of an operator of, or tenant at, the property. The cost of any required remediation, removal, fines or personal or property damages and the Company’s liability therefore could exceed the value of the property and/or the Company’s aggregate assets. In addition, the presence of those substances, or the failure to properly dispose of or remove those substances, may adversely affect the Company’s ability to sell or rent that property or to borrow using that property as collateral, which, in turn, would reduce the Company’s revenues and ability to make distributions.
 
A property can also be adversely affected either through physical contamination or by virtue of an adverse effect upon value attributable to the migration of hazardous or toxic substances, or other contaminants that have or may have emanated from other properties. Although the Company’s tenants are primarily responsible for any environmental damages and claims related to the leased premises, in the event of the bankruptcy or inability of any of the Company’s tenants to satisfy any obligations with respect to the property leased to that tenant, the Company may be required to satisfy such obligations. In addition, the Company may be held directly liable for any such damages or claims irrespective of the provisions of any lease.
 
From time to time, in connection with the conduct of the Company’s business, and prior to the acquisition of any property from a third party or as required by the Company’s financing sources, the Company authorizes the preparation of Phase I environmental reports and, when necessary, Phase II environmental reports, with respect to the Company’s properties. Based upon these environmental reports and the Company’s ongoing review of the Company’s properties, as of the date of this prospectus supplement, the Company is not aware of any environmental condition with respect to any of the Company’s properties that the Company believes would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. There can be no assurance, however, that the environmental reports will reveal all environmental conditions at the Company’s properties or that the following will not expose the Company to material liability in the future:
 
the discovery of previously unknown environmental conditions;
changes in law;
activities of tenants; or
activities relating to properties in the vicinity of the Company’s properties.
 
13

 
Changes in laws increasing the potential liability for environmental conditions existing on properties or increasing the restrictions on discharges or other conditions may result in significant unanticipated expenditures or may otherwise adversely affect the operations of the Company’s tenants, which could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
 
Competition may adversely affect the Company’s ability to purchase properties and to attract and retain tenants.
 
There are numerous commercial developers, real estate companies, financial institutions and other investors with greater financial resources than the Company has that compete with the Company in seeking properties for acquisition and tenants who will lease space in the Company’s properties. The Company’s competitors include other REITs, financial institutions, insurance companies, pension funds, private companies and individuals. This competition may result in a higher cost for properties that the Company wishes to purchase.
 
In addition, retailers at the Company’s properties face increasing competition from outlet malls, discount shopping clubs, internet commerce, direct mail and telemarketing, which could (i) reduce rents payable to the Company; (ii) reduce the Company’s ability to attract and retain tenants at the Company’s properties; and (iii) lead to increased vacancy rates at the Company’s properties.
 
The Company has pursued, and may in the future continue to pursue extensive growth opportunities which may result in significant demands on the Company’s operational, administrative and financial resources.
 
The Company has pursued extensive growth opportunities. This expansion has placed significant demands on the Company’s operational, administrative and financial resources. The continued growth of the Company’s real estate portfolio can be expected to continue to place a significant strain on its resources. The Company’s future performance will depend in part on the Company’s ability to successfully attract and retain qualified management personnel to manage the growth and operations of the Company’s business and to finance such acquisitions. In addition, acquired properties may fail to operate at expected levels due to the numerous factors which may affect the value of real estate. There can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient resources to identify and manage acquired properties or otherwise be able to maintain the Company’s historic rate of growth.
 
The Company’s inability to carry out the Company’s growth strategy could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
 
The Company’s growth strategy is based on the acquisition and development of additional properties, including acquisitions through co-investment programs such as joint ventures. In the context of the Company’s business plan, “development” generally means an expansion or renovation of an existing property. The consummation of any future acquisitions will be subject to satisfactory completion of the Company’s extensive valuation analysis and due diligence review and to the negotiation of definitive documentation. The Company cannot be sure that the Company will be able to implement the Company’s strategy because the Company may have difficulty finding new properties, negotiating with new or existing tenants or securing acceptable financing.
 
Acquisitions of additional properties entail the risk that investments will fail to perform in accordance with expectations, including operating and leasing expectations. Redevelopment is subject to numerous risks, including risks of construction delays, cost overruns or force majeure that may increase project costs, new project commencement risks such as the receipt of zoning, occupancy and other required governmental approvals and permits, and the incurrence of development costs in connection with projects that are not pursued to completion.
 
The Company’s board of trustees may change the Company’s investment policy without shareholder approval.
 
The Company’s board of trustees will determine the Company’s investment and financing policies, the Company’s growth strategy and the Company’s debt, capitalization, distribution, acquisition, disposition and operating policies. The Company’s board of trustees may establish investment criteria or limitations as it deems appropriate, but currently does not limit the number of properties in which the Company may seek to invest or on the concentration of investments in any one geographic region. Although the Company’s board of trustees has no present intention to revise or amend the Company’s strategies and policies, it may do so at any time without a vote by the Company’s shareholders. Accordingly, the Company’s shareholders’ control over changes in the Company’s strategies and policies is limited to the election of trustees, and changes made by the Company’s board of trustees may not serve the interests of the Company’s shareholders and could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition or results of operations, including the Company’s ability to distribute cash to shareholders or qualify as a REIT.
 
There can be no assurance that the Company has qualified or will remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.
 
The Company believes that the Company has met the requirements for qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes beginning with the Company’s taxable year ended December 31, 1993, and the Company intends to continue to meet these requirements in the future. However, qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, for which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations. No assurance can be given that the Company has qualified or will remain qualified as a REIT. The Internal Revenue Code provisions and income tax regulations applicable to REITs are more complex than those applicable to corporations. The determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within the Company’s control may affect the Company’s ability to continue to qualify as a REIT. In addition, no assurance can be given that legislation, regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions will not significantly change the requirements for qualification as a REIT or the federal income
 
14

 
tax consequences of such qualification. If the Company does not qualify as a REIT, the Company would not be allowed a deduction for distributions to shareholders in computing the Company’s net taxable income. In addition, the Company’s income would be subject to tax at the regular corporate rates. The Company also could be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost. Cash available for distribution to the Company’s shareholders would be significantly reduced for each year in which the Company does not qualify as a REIT. In that event, the Company would not be required to continue to make distributions. Although the Company currently intends to continue to qualify as a REIT, it is possible that future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause the Company, without the consent of the shareholders, to revoke the REIT election or to otherwise take action that would result in disqualification.
 
Distribution requirements imposed by law limit the Company’s operating flexibility.
 
To maintain the Company’s status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the Company is generally required to distribute to the Company’s shareholders at least 90% of the Company’s taxable income for that calendar year. The Company’s taxable income is determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid and by excluding net capital gains. To the extent that the Company satisfies the distribution requirement, but distributes less than 100% of the Company’s taxable income, the Company will be subject to federal corporate income tax on the Company’s undistributed income. In addition, the Company will incur a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which the Company’s distributions in any year are less than the sum of (i) 85% of the Company’s ordinary income for that year, (ii) 95% of the Company’s capital gain net income for that year and (iii) 100% of the Company’s undistributed taxable income from prior years. The Company intends to continue to make distributions to the Company’s shareholders to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and to reduce exposure to federal income and nondeductible excise taxes. Differences in timing between the receipt of income and the payment of expenses in determining the Company’s income and the effect of required debt amortization payments could require us to borrow funds on a short-term basis in order to meet the distribution requirements that are necessary to achieve the tax benefits associated with qualifying as a REIT.
 
Uninsured losses or a loss in excess of insured limits could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition.
 
The Company carries comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage and rent loss insurance on most of the Company’s properties, with policy specifications and insured limits customarily carried for similar properties. However, with respect to those properties where the leases do not provide for abatement of rent under any circumstances, the Company generally does not maintain rent loss insurance. In addition, there are certain types of losses, such as losses resulting from wars, terrorism or acts of God that generally are not insured because they are either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, the Company could lose capital invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenues from a property, while remaining obligated for any mortgage indebtedness or other financial obligations related to the property. Any loss of these types would adversely affect the Company’s financial condition.
 
Limits on ownership of the Company’s capital shares.
 
For the Company to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, among other requirements, not more than 50% of the value of the Company’s capital shares may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code to include certain entities) during the last half of each taxable year after 1993, and such capital shares must be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year (in each case, other than the first such year). The Company’s Declaration of Trust includes certain restrictions regarding transfers of the Company’s capital shares and ownership limits that are intended to assist the Company in satisfying these limitations. These restrictions and limits may not be adequate in all cases, however, to prevent the transfer of the Company’s capital shares in violation of the ownership limitations. The ownership limit discussed above may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing someone from taking control of the Company.
 
Actual or constructive ownership of the Company’s capital shares in excess of the share ownership limits contained in the Company’s Declaration of Trust would cause the violative transfer or ownership to be null and void from the beginning and subject to purchase by the Company at a price equal to the lesser of (i) the price stipulated in the challenged transaction and (ii) the fair market value of such shares (determined in accordance with the rules set forth in the Company’s declaration of trust). As a result, if a violative transfer were made, the recipient of the shares would not acquire any economic or voting rights attributable to the transferred shares. Additionally, the constructive ownership rules for these limits are complex and groups of related individuals or entities may be deemed a single owner and consequently in violation of the share ownership limits.
 
Adverse legislative or regulatory tax changes could have an adverse effect on the Company.
 
There are a number of issues associated with an investment in a REIT that are related to the federal income tax laws, including, but not limited to, the consequences of failing to continue to qualify as a REIT. At any time, the federal income tax laws governing REITs or the administrative interpretations of those laws may be amended. Any of those new laws or interpretations may take effect retroactively and could adversely affect the Company or the Company’s shareholders. Recently enacted legislation reduces tax rates applicable to certain corporate dividends paid to most domestic noncorporate shareholders. REIT dividends generally would not be eligible for reduced rates because a REIT’s income generally is not subject to corporate level tax. As a result, investment in non-REIT corporations may be viewed as relatively more attractive than investment in REITs by domestic noncorporate investors. This could adversely affect the market price of the Company’s shares.
 
15

 
Concentration of ownership by certain investors.
 
Four shareholders own more than 5% individually, and 35.4% in the aggregate, of the Company’s Common Shares.  A significant concentration of ownership may allow an investor to exert a greater influence over the Company’s management and affairs and may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company.
 
Restrictions on a potential change of control.
 
The Company’s Board of Trustees is authorized by the Company’s Declaration of Trust to establish and issue one or more series of preferred shares without shareholder approval. The Company has not established any series of preferred shares, however the establishment and issuance of a series of preferred shares could make more difficult a change of control of the Company that could be in the best interest of the shareholders.
 
In addition, the Company has entered into an employment agreement with the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and severance agreements are in place with the Company’s senior vice presidents which provide that, upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company, those executive officers would be entitled to certain termination or severance payments made by the Company (which may include a lump sum payment equal to defined percentages of annual salary and prior years’ average bonuses, paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the respective agreement), which could deter a change of control of the Company that could be in the Company’s best interest.
 
The loss of a key executive officer could have an adverse effect on the Company.
 
The success of the Company depends on the contribution of key management members. The loss of the services of Kenneth F. Bernstein, President and Chief Executive Officer, or other key executive-level employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations. Although the Company has entered into an employment agreement with the Company’s President, Kenneth F. Bernstein, the loss of his services could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations. Although the Company's Board of Trustees has addressed and will continue to review succession plans and procedures with respect to all of the key management members, there can be no assurance that such succession planning will be effective.
 
ITEM 2.
PROPERTIES
 
SHOPPING CENTER PROPERTIES
 
The discussion and tables in Item 2 includes properties held through joint ventures in which the Company owns a partial interest (“Joint Venture Portfolio”). Except where noted, it does not include the Company’s partial interest in 25 anchor-only leases with Kroger and Safeway supermarkets as previously discussed in  “PROPERTY ACQUSITIONS” in Item 1 of this Form 10-K) , as the majority of these properties are free-standing and all are triple-net leases.
 
As of December 31, 2004, the Company owned and operated 42 shopping centers as part of its wholly-owned portfolio and the Joint Venture Portfolio, which included a mixed-use property (retail and residential), seven properties under redevelopment and one property under development. The Company’s shopping centers, which total approximately 7.4 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”), are located in 15 states and are generally well-established, anchored community and neighborhood shopping centers. The operating properties are diverse in size, ranging from approximately 31,000 to 619,000 square feet with an average size of 204,000 square feet. As of December 31, 2004, the Company’s wholly-owned portfolio and the Joint Venture Portfolio (excluding properties under redevelopment) were 92.3% and 96.8% occupied, respectively. The Company’s shopping centers are typically anchored by supermarkets or value-oriented retail.
 
The Company had approximately 620 leases as of December 31, 2004, of which 59% of the rental revenues received therefrom were from national tenants. A majority of the income from the properties consists of rent received under long-term leases. Most of these leases provide for the payment of fixed minimum rent monthly in advance and for the payment by tenants of a pro-rata share of the real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and common area maintenance of the shopping centers. Minimum rents and expense reimbursements accounted for approximately 89% of the Company’s total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004.
 
As of December 31, 2004, approximately 52% of the Company’s existing leases also provided for the payment of percentage rents either in addition to, or in place of, minimum rents. These arrangements generally provide for payment to the Company of a certain percentage of a tenant’s gross sales in excess of a stipulated annual amount. Percentage rents accounted for approximately 1% of the total 2004 revenues of the Company.
 
Five of the Company’s shopping center properties are subject to long-term ground leases in which a third party owns and has leased the underlying land to the Company. The Company pays rent for the use of the land at four locations and is responsible for all costs and expenses associated with the building and improvements at all five locations.
 
No individual property contributed in excess of 10% of the Company’s total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.
 
Reference is made to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information on the mortgage debt pertaining to the Company’s properties.

At March 14, 2005, there were 350 holders of record of the Company’s Common Shares.
 
(b)   Dividends
 
The Company has determined that for 2004, 59% of the total dividends distributed to shareholders represented ordinary income, 32% represented unrecaptured section 1250 gain and 9% represented nontaxable return of capital. The Company’s cash flow is affected by a number of factors, including the revenues received from rental properties, the operating expenses of the Company, the interest expense on its borrowings, the ability of lessees to meet their obligations to the Company and unanticipated capital expenditures. Future dividends paid by the Company will be at the discretion of the Trustees and will depend on the actual cash flows of the Company, its financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code and such other factors as the Trustees deem relevant.
 
(c)   Issuer purchases of equity securities
 
The Company has an existing share repurchase program that authorizes management, at its discretion, to repurchase up to $20.0 million of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares. Through March 14, 2005, the Company had repurchased 2.1 million Common Shares at a total cost of $11.7 million of which 1.4 million of these Common Shares have been subsequently reissued.  The program may be discontinued or extended at any time and there is no assurance that the Company will purchase the full amount authorized. There were no Common Shares repurchased by the Company during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

The 1999 and 2003 Plans authorize the issuance of options equal to up to a total of 12% of the total Common Shares outstanding from time to time on a fully diluted basis. However, not more than 4,000,000 of the Common Shares in the aggregate may be issued pursuant to the exercise of options and no participant may receive more than 5,000,000 Common Shares during the term of the 1999 and 2003 Plans. Remaining available is based on 31,340,637 outstanding Common Shares and 392,255 OP Units as of December 31, 2004, less the issuance of a total of 234,687 restricted shares granted through the same date.

Notes:

For 2000 and 2001, the weighted average number of shares outstanding on a diluted basis is not presented as the inclusion of additional shares was anti-dilutive.
(2)
The Company considers funds from operations (“FFO”) as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) to be an appropriate supplemental disclosure of operating performance for an equity REIT due to its widespread acceptance and use within the REIT and analyst communities. FFO is presented to assist investors in analyzing the performance of the Company. It is helpful as it excludes various items included in net income that are not indicative of the operating performance, such as gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization. However, the Company’s method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating the Company’s performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Consistent with the NAREIT definition, the Company defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Funds from Operations for the reconciliation of net income to FFO.
 
ITEM 7.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company (including the related notes thereto) appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and as such may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe the Company’s future plans, strategies and expectations are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend” or “project” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the Company include, but are not limited to those set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating any forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference herein.
 
OVERVIEW
 
The Company currently operates 69 properties, which it owns or has an ownership interest in, consisting of 64 neighborhood and community shopping centers, one shopping center under development, one enclosed mall, one mixed-use property (retail/residential) and two multi-family properties, which are located primarily in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern regions of the United States and, in total, comprise approximately 9.6 million square feet. The Company receives income primarily from the rental revenue from its properties, including recoveries from tenants, offset by operating and overhead expenses.
 
The Company focuses on three primary areas in executing its business plan as follows:
 
–   Focus on maximizing the return on its existing portfolio through leasing and property redevelopment activities. The Company’s redevelopment program is a significant and ongoing component of managing its existing portfolio and focuses on selecting well-located neighborhood and community shopping centers and creating significant value through re-tenanting and property redevelopment.
–   Pursue above-average returns though a disciplined and opportunistic acquisition program. The primary conduits for the Company’s acquisition program are through its existing acquisition joint ventures, Funds I and II, as well as the RCP Venture established to invest in surplus or underutilized properties owned or controlled by retailers and the New York Urban Infill Redevelopment initiative which focuses on investing in redevelopment projects in urban, dense areas where retail tenant demand has effectively surpassed the supply of available sites..
–   Maintain a strong balance sheet, which provides the Company with the financial flexibility to fund both property redevelopment and acquisition opportunities.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2004 (“2004”) to the year ended December 31, 2003 (“2003”)
 
Total revenues increased $5.0 million to $72.8 million for 2004 compared to $67.8 million for 2003.
 
Minimum rents increased $2.6 million, or 5%, to $51.5 million for 2004 compared to $48.9 million for 2003. This increase was attributable to an increase in rents following the redevelopment of the Gateway shopping center in 2003 and an increase in rents from re-tenanting activities as well as increased occupancy across the portfolio.
 
In total, expense reimbursements increased $0.1 million, or 1%, from $13.2 million for 2003 to $13.3 million for 2004. Real estate tax reimbursements increased $0.4 million primarily as a result of general increases in real estate taxes as well as re-tenanting activities throughout the portfolio.  CAM expense reimbursements decreased $0.3 million, or 4%, from $6.4 million in 2003 to $6.1 million in 2004. This resulted primarily from tenant reimbursements of lower snow removal costs in 2004 offset by increased tenant reimbursements following re-tenanting activities across the portfolio.
 
25

 
Management fee income increased $2.8 million, or 142%, to $4.8 million in 2004 from $2.0 million in 2003.  This was the result of asset management fees from Fund II and an increase in management fees related to the acquisition of certain management contract rights in 2004.
 
Interest income increased in 2004 by $0.7 million.  This net change was a combination of additional interest income on the Company’s advances and notes receivable originated in 2004 offset by lower interest earning cash deposits in 2004.
 
Other income decreased $1.0 million, from $1.2 million in 2003 to $0.2 million in 2004. This was primarily due to a lump sum additional rent payment of $1.2 million received from a former tenant during 2003 in connection with the re-anchoring of the Branch Plaza.
 
Total operating expenses decreased $1.2 million, or 2%, to $50.1 million for 2004, from $51.3 million for 2003.
 
Property operating expenses increased $0.2 million, or 1%, to $14.9 million for 2004 compared to $14.7 million for 2003. This was a result primarily of a non-recurring charge of approximately $0.7 million related to flood damage at the Mark Plaza in 2004 offset by higher snow removal costs during 2003.
 
Real estate taxes increased $0.5 million, or 7%, from $8.5 million in 2003 to $9.0 million in 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to a real estate tax refund received in 2003 related to the appeal of taxes paid in prior years at the Greenridge Plaza and higher real estate taxes throughout the portfolio in 2004.
 
General and administrative expense decreased $0.2 million, or 2%, from $10.7 million for 2003 to $10.5 million for 2004. This decrease was primarily the result of certain employee termination costs in 2003 and the Company’s capitalization of certain internal leasing costs in 2004 offset by additional professional fees related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance in 2004.
 
Depreciation and amortization decreased $1.7 million, or 10%, from $17.4 million for 2003 to $15.7 million for 2004. Depreciation expense decreased $2.5 million. This was a result of the write-off of $2.7 million of unamortized tenant improvement costs related to the buyout and termination of the former anchor at the Town Line Plaza redevelopment project in 2003.  This decrease was offset by increased depreciation expense in 2004 following the Gateway redevelopment project being placed in service during the second quarter of 2003. Amortization expense increased $0.8 million primarily as a result of the amortization of investment in management contracts in 2004. 
 
Interest expense of $10.4 million for 2004 increased $0.5 million, or 5%, from $9.9 million for 2003. This was primarily attributable to an increase of $0.4 million as a result of higher average interest rates on the portfolio debt for 2004 and a decrease of $0.1 million in capitalized interest in 2004. 
 
Income from discontinued operations increased $6.6 million due to a property sale in 2004.
 
Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2003 (“2003”) to the year ended December 31, 2002 (“2002”)
 
Total revenues increased $0.8 million to $67.8 million for 2003 compared to $67.0 million for 2002.
 
Minimum rents increased $2.3 million, or 5%, to $48.9 million for 2003 compared to $46.6 million for 2002. This increase was attributable to an increase in rents following the redevelopment of the Elmwood Park and Gateway shopping centers and an increase in rents from re-tenanting activities and renewals of tenant leases across the portfolio. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in rents following Ames Department Stores’ bankruptcy.
 
In total, expense reimbursements increased $2.2 million, or 20%, from $11.0 million for 2002 to $13.2 million for 2003. CAM expense reimbursements increased $1.7 million, or 38%, from $4.5 million in 2002 to $6.2 million in 2003. This resulted primarily from tenant reimbursements of higher snow removal costs following the harsh winter of 2003 as well as tenant reimbursements of higher insurance costs throughout the portfolio. Real estate tax reimbursements increased $0.5 million primarily as a result of the variance in real estate tax expense as discussed below.
 
Lease termination income of $3.9 million in 2002 was primarily the result of the settlement of the Company’s claim against a former tenant.
 
Management fee income increased $0.7 million, or 50%, to $2.0 million in 2003 from $1.3 million in 2002.  This increase was the result of an increase in management fee income received from Fund I in 2003 as a result of the acquisition of the Ohio Portfolio in September 2002 and the Brandywine and Kroger/Safeway Portfolios in January of 2003.
 
Interest income decreased $1.3 million, or 62%, from $2.1 million in 2002 to $0.8 million in 2003.  This decrease was attributable to a decrease in interest income during 2003 due to lower interest earning assets, including cash investments and notes receivable, as well as the decline in interest rates.
 
Other income increased $0.7 million, or 141%, to $1.2 million in 2003 from $0.5 million in 2002.  This was primarily due to a lump sum additional rent payment of $1.2 million received from a former tenant during 2003 in connection with the re-anchoring of the Branch Plaza partially offset by the settlement of claims against certain tenants in 2002.
 
26

 
Total operating expenses increased $6.6 million, or 15%, to $51.3 million for 2003, from $44.7million for 2002.
 
Property operating expenses increased $2.8 million, or 23%, to $14.7 million for 2003 compared to $11.9 million for 2002. This was a result of higher snow removal costs due to the harsh winter of 2003 and higher insurance costs throughout the portfolio.
 
Real estate taxes increased $0.4 million, or 5%, from $8.1 million in 2002 to $8.5 million in 2003. This increase was attributable to higher real estate taxes experienced generally throughout the portfolio and a 2002 adjustment of accrued real estate taxes for an acquired property. These increases were primarily offset by a real estate tax refund agreed to in 2003 related to the appeal of taxes paid in prior years at the Greenridge Plaza.
 
General and administrative expense increased $0.5 million, or 6%, from $10.2 million for 2002 to $10.7 million for 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to stock-based compensation. These increases were offset by additional costs paid in 2002 related to the Company’s tender offer and repurchase of its Common Shares.
 
Depreciation and amortization increased $3.2 million, or 22%, from $14.2 million for 2002 to $17.4 million for 2003. Depreciation expense increased $3.6 million. This was a result of the write-off of $2.7 million of unamortized tenant improvement costs related to the buyout and termination of the former anchor at the Town Line Plaza redevelopment project. In addition, depreciation expense increased following the Elmwood Park redevelopment project being placed in service during the fourth quarter of 2002 and the Gateway project being placed in service during the first quarter of 2003. Amortization expense decreased $0.4 million, which was primarily attributable to the write-off of deferred leasing costs during 2002 related to certain tenant leases.
 
Interest expense of $9.9 million for 2003 increased $0.2 million, or 2%, from $9.7 million for 2002. This was primarily attributable to a decrease of $0.5 million in capitalized interest in 2003 and a $0.2 million increase in interest expense as a result of higher average interest rates on the portfolio debt for 2003. These increases were offset by a $0.5 million decrease resulting from lower average outstanding borrowings during 2003.
 
Income from discontinued operations decreased $8.6 million due to property sales in 2002.
 
Funds from Operations
 
The Company considers funds from operations (“FFO”) as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) to be an appropriate supplemental disclosure of operating performance for an equity REIT due to its widespread acceptance and use within the REIT and analyst communities. FFO is presented to assist investors in analyzing the performance of the Company. It is helpful as it excludes various items included in net income that are not indicative of the operating performance, such as gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization. However, the Company’s method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating the Company’s performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
 
Consistent with the NAREIT definition, the Company defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The reconciliations of net income to FFO for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001 and 2000 are as follows:

The Company’s principal uses of its liquidity are expected to be for distributions to its shareholders and OP unitholders, debt service and loan repayments, and property investment which includes the funding of its joint venture commitments, acquisition, redevelopment, expansion and re-tenanting activities.
 
Distributions
 
In order to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes, the Company must currently distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders. For the first three quarters during 2004, the Company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.16 per Common Share and Common OP Unit. In December of 2004, the Board of Trustees approved and declared a 7.8% increase in the Company’s quarterly dividend to $0.1725 per Common Share and Common OP Unit for the fourth quarter of 2004 which was paid January 14, 2005. On February 4, 2005, the Board of Trustees approved and declared a quarterly dividend of $0.1725 per Common Share and Common OP Unit payable April 15, 2005 to shareholders and OP unitholders of record as of March 31, 2005.
 
Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund, LP (“Fund I”)
 
In September of 2001, the Company committed $20.0 million to a newly formed joint venture formed with four of its institutional shareholders, who committed $70.0 million, for the purpose of acquiring a total of approximately $300.0 million of community and neighborhood shopping centers on a leveraged basis.
 
The Company is the manager and general partner of Fund I with a 22% interest. In addition to a pro-rata return on its invested equity, the Company is entitled to a profit participation based upon certain investment return thresholds. Cash flow is to be distributed pro-rata to the partners (including the Company) until they have received a 9% cumulative return on, and a return of all capital contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is to be distributed 80% to the partners (including the Company) and 20% to the Company. The Company also earns a fee for asset management services equal to 1.5% of the total equity commitments, as well as market-rate fees for property management, leasing and construction services.
 
To date, Fund I has purchased a total of 35 assets totaling 2.7 million square feet. Details of these are as follows:
 
2004 Acquisitions
 
On March 11, 2004, Fund I, in conjunction with the Company’s long-time investment partner, Hendon Properties (“Hendon”), purchased a $9.6 million first mortgage loan from New York Life Insurance Company for $5.5 million. The loan, which was secured by a 235,000 square foot shopping center in Aiken, South Carolina, was in default at acquisition. Fund I and Hendon acquired the loan with the intention of pursuing ownership of the property securing the debt. Fund I provided 90% of the equity capital and Hendon provided the remaining 10% of the equity capital used to acquire the loan. Hendon is entitled to receive profit participation in excess of its proportionate equity interest. The property is currently anchored by a Kroger supermarket and was only 56% occupied at acquisition due to the vacancy of a former Kmart store. Subsequent to the acquisition of the loan, Fund I and Hendon obtained fee title to this property and currently plan to redevelop and re-anchor the center. The Company loaned $3.2 million to the property owning entity in connection with the purchase of the first mortgage loan. The note matures March 9, 2006, and bears interest at 7% for the first year and 6% for the second year. In addition to its loan to Fund I, the Company invested $0.9 million, primarily its pro-rata share of equity as a partner in Fund I. In September 2004, Fund I and Hendon purchased the Pine Log Plaza for $1.5 million. The 35,000 square foot center is located in front of and adjacent to the Hitchcock Plaza. Related to this transaction, the Company provided an additional $0.75 million loan to Fund I with a March 2006 maturity and interest at 7% for the first year and 6% for the second year.
 
In May 2004, Fund I and an unaffiliated partner, each with a 50% interest, acquired a 35,000 square foot shopping center in Tarrytown, New York, for $5.3 million. Related to this acquisition, the Company loaned $2.0 million to Fund I which bears interest at the prime rate and matures May 2005. The 35,000 square foot, Westchester, NY property (New York City MSA), was formerly anchored by a 25,000 square foot Grand Union supermarket. The redeveloped property will include a 15,000 square foot Walgreen’s drugstore, a 10,000 square foot junior anchor with the balance of space leased to shop tenants.
 
In May 2004, Fund I acquired a 50% interest in the Haygood Shopping Center and the Sterling Heights Shopping Center for an aggregate investment of $3.2 million. These assets are part of the portfolio that the Company currently manages as a result of its January 2004 acquisition of certain management contracts. The Haygood Shopping Center is a 165,000 square foot shopping center located in Virginia Beach, VA. It is currently 69% occupied and anchored by Rose’s Department Store and Eckerd Drug. Redevelopment of this property will most likely include the replacement of Rose’s with a new supermarket anchor. The Sterling Heights Shopping Center, located in Sterling Heights, MI (suburb of Detroit), totals 141,000 square feet. The property is also 69% occupied and is anchored by Burlington Coat Factory. Redevelopment activities will include the complete renovation of the property and the re-leasing of the current vacancy.

2003 and 2002 Acquisitions
 
Brandywine Portfolio - In January of 2003, Fund I acquired a major open-air retail complex located in Wilmington, Delaware. The approximately 1.0 million square foot value-based retail complex consists of the following two properties:
 
Market Square Shopping Center is a 103,000 square foot community shopping center (including a 15,000 square foot outparcel building) which is 100% leased and anchored by a T.J. Maxx and a Trader Joe’s gourmet food market.
 
Brandywine Town Center is a two phase open-air value retail center. The first phase (“Phase I”) is approximately 450,000 square feet and 100% occupied, with tenants including Lowe’s, Bed Bath & Beyond, Regal Cinema, Michaels, Petsmart, Old Navy, Annie Sez, Thomasville Furniture and Dick’s Sporting Goods. The second phase (“Phase II”) consists of approximately 420,000 square feet of existing space, of which Target occupies 138,000 square feet and Bombay occupies 9,000 square feet. The balance of Phase II is currently not occupied.
 
The initial investment for the portfolio was approximately $86.3 million, inclusive of closing and other related acquisition costs. Fund I assumed $38.1 million of fixed rate debt on the two properties at a blended rate of 8.1%. A new $30.0 million, 4.7% fixed-rate loan was also obtained in conjunction with the acquisition and is collateralized by a portion of the Brandywine Town Center. The balance of the purchase price was funded by Fund I, of which the Company’s share was $4.3 million. Fund I will also pay additional amounts in conjunction with the lease-up of the current vacant space in Phase II (the “Earn-out”). To date, Fund I has incurred costs of $20.6 million for Earn-out space. The additional investment for Earn-out space is projected to be between $25.0 million and $30.0 million. of which the Company’s share would be between $5.5 million and $6.6 million. To the extent Fund I places additional mortgage debt upon the lease-up of Phase II, the required equity contribution for the Earn-out would be less. The Earn-out is structured such that Fund I has no time requirement or payment obligation for any portion of currently vacant space which it is unable to lease.
 
Kroger/Safeway Portfolio - In January of 2003, Fund I formed a joint venture (the “Kroger/Safeway JV”) with an affiliate of real estate developer and investor AmCap Incorporated (“AmCap”) for the purpose of acquiring a portfolio of twenty-five supermarket leases. The portfolio, which aggregates approximately 1.0 million square feet, consists of 25 anchor-only leases with Kroger (12 leases) and Safeway supermarkets (13 leases). The majority of the properties are free-standing and all are triple-net leases. The Kroger/Safeway JV acquired the portfolio subject to long-term ground leases with terms, including renewal options, averaging in excess of 80 years, which are master leased to a non-affiliated entity. The base rental options for the supermarket leases at the end of their primary lease term in approximately seven years (“Primary Term”) are at an average of $5.13 per square foot. Although there is no obligation for the Kroger/Safeway JV to pay ground rent during the Primary Term, to the extent it exercises an option to renew a ground lease for a property at the end of the Primary Term, it will be obligated to pay an average ground rent of $1.55 per square foot.
 
The Kroger/Safeway JV acquired the portfolio for $48.9 million (inclusive of closing and other related acquisition costs), which included the assumption of an aggregate of $34.5 million of existing fixed-rate mortgage debt, which is at a blended fixed interest rate of 6.6% and is fully amortizing over the Primary Term. The individual mortgages are secured by each individual property and are not cross-collateralized. Fund I invested 90%, or $11.3 million, of the equity capitalization, of which the Company’s share was $2.5 million. AmCap contributed 10%, or $1.2 million. Cash flow is to be distributed to the Kroger/Safeway JV partners until they have received an 11% cumulative return and a full return of all contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is to be distributed 75% to Fund I and 25% to AmCap. The Kroger/Safeway JV agreement also provides for additional allocations of cash based on Fund I achieving certain minimum investment returns to be determined on a “look-back” basis.
 
In September of 2002, Fund I acquired three supermarket-anchored shopping centers located in Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio for a total purchase price of $26.7 million. Fund I assumed $12.6 million of fixed-rate debt on two of the properties at a blended rate of 8.1%. A new $6.0 million loan was obtained on the third property at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points. The balance of the purchase price was funded by Fund I, of which the Company’s share was $1.8 million.
 
Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”)
 
On June 15, 2004, the Company closed its second acquisition fund, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II), which includes all of the investors from Fund I as well as two new institutional investors. With $300 million of committed discretionary capital, Fund II expects to be able to acquire up to $900 million of real estate assets on a leveraged basis. The Company is the managing member with a 20% interest in the joint venture. The terms and structure of Fund II are substantially the same as Fund I with the exceptions that the preferred return is 8% and the asset management fee is calculated on committed equity of $250 million through June 15, 2005 and then on the total committed equity of $300 million thereafter. To date, Fund II has invested in the RCP Venture and the New York Urban Infill Redevelopment initiative as discussed below.
 
New York Urban Infill Redevelopment initiative
 
Fordham Road - On September 29, 2004, in conjunction with an investment partner, P/A, Fund II purchased 400 East Fordham Road in the Bronx, NY for $30.2 million, inclusive of closing and other related acquisition costs. The Company had provided a bridge loan of $18.0 million to Fund II on market terms in connection with this acquisition. Subsequent to the acquisition, Fund II repaid this loan from the Company with $18.0 of proceeds from a new loan from a bank. The property, a multi-level retail and commercial building, is located at the intersection of East
 
29

 
Fordham Road and Webster Avenue, near Fordham University, one of the strongest retail areas in The Bronx and the third largest retail corridor in New York City, with over 650,000 people in a two-mile radius and retail sales in excess of $500 million. Sears is the major tenant of the property, retailing on four levels. The redevelopment of the property is scheduled to commence in 2007 following the expiration of the Sears lease, which was originally signed in 1964. However, depending on current negotiations with both Sears and other potential anchors, the timeframe of the redevelopment may be accelerated. The strength of the retail market in The Bronx is evidenced by core retail rents exceeding $75 per square foot with many retailers utilizing multi-level formats. As part of the redevelopment, there is the potential for additional expansion of up to 85,000 square feet of space. The total cost of the redevelopment project, including the acquisition cost of $30 million, is estimated to be between $65 and $70 million, depending on the ultimate scope of the project.
 
Pelham Manor - On October 1, 2004, Fund II initiated its second urban/infill project in conjunction with P/A. Fund II entered into a 95-year ground lease to redevelop a 16-acre site in Pelham Manor, Westchester County, New York. The property is in an upper middle-income, infill neighborhood located approximately 10 miles from Manhattan with over 400,000 people in a three-mile radius. The redevelopment contemplates the demolition of the existing industrial and warehouse buildings, and replacing them with a multi-anchor community retail center. The Company anticipates the redevelopment to cost between $30 and $33 million, with construction anticipated to commence within the next 12 to 24 months. In the interim, the property will continue to be operated as an industrial and warehouse facility. Prior to commencement of the redevelopment process, the ground rent payment is projected to equal the warehouse rents collected.
 
RCP Venture with Klaff Realty, L.P. (“Klaff”)
 
On January 27, 2004, the Company entered into the Retailer Controlled Property Venture (the “RCP Venture”) with Klaff and Klaff’s long time capital partner Lubert-Adler Management, Inc. (“Lubert-Adler”) for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers. The initial size of the RCP Venture is expected to be approximately $300 million in equity based on anticipated investments of approximately $1 billion. Each participant in the RCP Venture has the right to opt out of any potential investment. The Company and its current acquisition funds, Funds I and II, anticipate investing 20% of the equity of the RCP Venture. Cash flow is to be distributed to the partners until they have received a 10% cumulative return and a full return of all contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is to be distributed 20% to Klaff (“Klaff’s Promote”) and 80% to the partners (including Klaff). The Company will also earn market-rate fees for property management, leasing and construction services on behalf of the RCP Venture.
 
In September 2004, the Company made its first RCP Venture investment with its participation in the acquisition of Mervyn’s.  Affiliates of Funds I and Fund II, through separately organized, newly formed limited liability companies on a non-recourse basis, invested in the acquisition of Mervyn’s through the RCP Venture, which, as part of an investment consortium of Sun Capital and Cerberus, acquired Mervyn’s from Target Corporation. The total acquisition price was approximately $1.2 billion subject to debt of approximately $800.0 million. Affiliates of Funds I and II invested equity aggregating $23.2 million on a non-recourse basis which was divided equally between them, of which $4.9 million was the company’ total share of the equity investment. Mervyn’s is a 257-store discount retailer with a very strong West Coast concentration. The majority of the stores are well-located in high-barrier to entry markets, which we believe gives a recapitalized and refocused operator the opportunity to create a productive retail platform and subsequent future value.
 
Other Investments
 
In January 2004, the Company acquired Klaff’s rights to provide asset management, leasing, disposition, development and construction services for an existing portfolio of retail properties and/or leasehold interests comprised of approximately 10 million square feet of retail space located throughout the United States (the “Klaff Properties”). The acquisition involves only Klaff’s rights associated with operating the Klaff Properties and does not include equity interests in assets owned by Klaff or Lubert-Adler. The Operating Partnership issued $4.0 million of Series B Preferred OP Units to Klaff in consideration of this acquisition.
 
On March 18, 2004, the Company provided a $3.0 million mezzanine loan to an unrelated entity. The loan is for a term of three years with interest of 11% for year one, 10% for year two and prime plus 6% for year three.
 
On April 8, 2004, the Company provided a $3.6 million mezzanine loan to an unrelated party. The loan carried interest at the rate of 15%. The loan was paid in full on June 23, 2004, which resulted in an additional 10% interest pre-payment penalty over the period the loan was outstanding.
 

The Company provided a $3.2 million loan to its joint venture partner in the Tarrytown Centre. The loan matures on May 12, 2005, and bears interest at the prime rate.

In March of 2005, the Company invested $20 million in a preferred equity position (“Preferred Equity”) with Levitz SL, L.L.C. (“Levitz SL”), the owner of 2.5 million square feet of fee and leasehold interests in 30 locations (the “Properties”), the majority of which are currently leased to Levitz Furniture Stores. Klaff is a managing member of Levitz SL. The Preferred Equity receives a return of 10%, plus a minimum return of capital of $2 million per annum. At the end of 12 months, the rate of return will be reset to the six-month LIBOR plus 644 basis points. The Preferred Equity is redeemable at the option of Levitz SL at any time, although if redeemed during the first 12 months, the redemption price is equal to the outstanding amount of the Preferred Equity, plus the return calculated for the remainder of the 12-month period.
 
Property Redevelopment and Expansion
 
The Company’s redevelopment program focuses on selecting well-located neighborhood and community shopping centers and creating significant value through re-tenanting and property redevelopment. During 2004, the Company substantially completed the redevelopment of two shopping centers as follows:
 
30

 
During 2004, the Company completed the redevelopment of the New Loudon Center, located in Latham, New York. A new anchor, The Bon Ton Department Store, opened for business during the fourth quarter of 2003 as part of the redevelopment of this shopping center. Occupying 66,000 square feet formerly occupied by an Ames department store, Bon Ton is paying base rent at a 15% increase over that of Ames. During 2004, Marshall’s, an existing tenant at the center, expanded its current 26,000 square foot store to 37,000 square feet. The Company also installed a new 49,000 square foot Raymour and Flanigan Furniture store at this center during 2004. This community shopping center is now 100% occupied. Total costs incurred by the Company for this project totaled $418,000.
 
The Company has re-anchored the Town Line Plaza, located in Rocky Hill, Connecticut,, with a new Super Stop & Shop supermarket, replacing a former GU Markets supermarket. The former building was demolished and replaced with a 66,000 square foot Super Stop & Shop. The new supermarket anchor is paying gross rent at a 33% increase over that of the former tenant with no interruption in rent payments. Total costs incurred by the Company for this project totaled $1.7 million.
 
Additionally, for the year ending December 31, 2005, the Company currently estimates that capital outlays of approximately $ 4.0 million to $7.0 million will be required for tenant improvements, related renovations and other property improvements.
 
Share Repurchase
 
The Company’s repurchase of its Common Shares is an additional use of liquidity. Upon completion of a tender offer in February 2002, the Company purchased a total of 5,523,974 Common Shares and Common OP Units (collectively, “Shares”), comprised of 4,136,321 Common Shares and 1,387,653 Common OP Units (which were converted to Common Shares upon tender), at a Purchase Price of $6.05 per Share. The aggregate purchase price paid for the 5,523,974 Shares was $33.4 million. In addition to the tender offer, the Company has an existing share repurchase program that authorizes management, at its discretion, to repurchase up to $20.0 million of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares. Through March 14, 2005, the Company had repurchased 2.1 million Common Shares at a total cost of $11.7 million of which 1.4 million of these Common Shares have been subsequently reissued.  The program may be discontinued or extended at any time and there is no assurance that the Company will purchase the full amount authorized. There were no Common Shares repurchased by the Company during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.
 
SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY
 
The Company intends on using Funds I and II as the primary vehicles for future acquisitions, including investments in the RCP Venture and New York Urban/Infill /redevelopment initiative. Sources of capital for funding the Company’s joint venture commitments, other property acquisitions, redevelopment, expansion and re-tenanting, as well as future repurchases of Common Shares are expected to be obtained primarily from issuance of public equity or debt instruments, cash on hand, additional debt financings and future sales of existing properties. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had a total of approximately $33.4 million of additional capacity with four line of credit facilities, cash and cash equivalents on hand of $13.5 million, and 15 properties that are unencumbered and available as potential collateral for future borrowings. The Company anticipates that cash flow from operating activities will continue to provide adequate capital for all debt service payments, recurring capital expenditures and REIT distribution requirements.
 
Issuance of Equity
 
During November 2004, the Company issued 1,890,000 Common Shares (the “Offering”). The $28.3 million in proceeds to the Company from the Offering, net of related costs, were used to retire above-market, fixed-rate indebtedness as well as to invest in real estate assets.
 
Financing and Debt
 
At December 31, 2004, mortgage notes payable aggregated $153.4 million and were collateralized by 16 properties and related tenant leases. Interest rates on the Company’s outstanding mortgage indebtedness ranged from 3.8% to 7.6% with maturities that ranged from July 2007 to September 2014. Taking into consideration $86.2 million of notional principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, $146.4 million of the portfolio, or 95%, was fixed at a 6.1% weighted average interest rate and $7.0 million, or 5% was floating at a 3.8% weighted average interest rate. There is no debt maturing in 2005 and 2006. In 2007, $12.5 million is scheduled to mature at a weighted average interest rate of 6.5%. As the Company does not anticipate having sufficient cash on hand to repay such indebtedness, it will need to refinance this indebtedness or select other alternatives based on market conditions at that time.
 
The following summarizes the financing and refinancing transactions since December 31, 2003:
 
In January 2004, the Company entered into a forward starting swap agreement which commences April 1, 2005. The swap agreement, which extends through January 1, 2011, provides for a fixed rate of 4.345% on $37.7 million of notional principal.

On March 11, 2004, the Company drew down $4.5 million under an existing $20.0 million revolving facility and $4.5 million under an existing $7.4 million revolving facility.
 
On March 26, 2004, the Company paid down $10.4 million and modified and extended $40.0 million of an existing $50.4 million loan with a bank. The loan, secured by two of the Company’s properties, now matures April 1, 2011 and requires the monthly payment of interest at LIBOR plus 150 basis points and principal amortized over 30 years.
 
On April 19, 2004, a $1.4 million letter of credit was placed with a lender in the Company’s name. This letter of credit was necessary to maintain coverage ratios following the rejection of a tenant’s lease at a Fund I property.
 
During the second quarter of 2004, the Company drew down an additional $8.0 million under an existing $20.0 million revolving facility and an additional $2.5 million under an existing $7.4 million revolving facility. The balances on these revolving facilities were paid in full during the third quarter of 2004.
 
On June 30, 2004, the Company closed on a $45.9 million cross collateralized revolving facility, which is collateralized by five of the Company’s properties. The existing combined outstanding debt of $23.0 million was modified to allow the Company to borrow an additional $22.9 million. The facility matures in 2012 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 140 basis points. The Company drew down $16.8 million under this facility on June 30, 2004, of which the proceeds from the additional borrowings were used to pay down the two revolving facilities mentioned above. During the third quarter of 2004, the Company drew down an additional $4.7 million on this facility.
 
On June 30, 2004, the Company closed on a $12.1 million revolving facility secured by one of its properties. The existing outstanding debt of $8.9 million was modified to allow the Company to borrow an additional $3.2 million. The facility matures in 2012 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 140 basis points.
 
On August 13, 2004, the Company refinanced an existing $7.9 million floating rate mortgage loan with a $15 million fixed rate mortgage loan maturing in 2014. The terms of the new mortgage loan, bearing interest at 5.6%, provide for interest-only payments for two years, and principal and interest thereafter based on a 30-year amortization with a balloon payment due at maturity of $13.1 million. In connection with the refinancing, the Company was required to prepay $1.6 million of debt collateralized by two other properties, and pay a prepayment penalty of $0.1 million.
 
On September 28, 2004, the Company drew down $20 million from existing lines of credit from two different banks. The proceeds from these borrowings were utilized to advance $18 million to Fund II as a bridge loan to finance Fund II’s acquisition of a property located in The Bronx, New York. Fund II’s advance was repaid upon financing of the acquisition with a bank during the fourth quarter 2004.
 
On December 1, 2004, the Company paid down $0.8 million of outstanding balance on a line of credit and fully repaid $13.0 million from two other lines of credit.
 
During December of 2004, the Company retired $33.4 million of mortgage debts with two banks.
 
In connection with the sale of the East End Centre, the Company extinguished $23.8 million of 8.13% fixed-rate mortgage debt which was scheduled to mature in 2010 and cross-collateralized by the East End Centre and Crescent Plaza.
 
Asset Sales
 
Asset sales are an additional source of liquidity for the Company. A significant component of the Company’s business has been its multi-year plan to dispose of non-core real estate assets. The Company began this initiative following the RDC Transaction and completed it in 2002. Non-core assets were identified based on factors including property type and location, tenant mix and potential income growth as well as whether a property complemented other assets within the Company’s portfolio. The Company sold 28 non-core assets in connection with this initiative comprising a total of approximately 4.6 million square feet of retail properties and 800 multi-family units, for a total sales price of $158.4 million which generated net sale proceeds to the Company of $82.5 million.
 
Although the Company completed the non-core disposition initiative in 2002, it continues to identify non-core assets within its potfolio. During November of 2004, Acadia disposed of the East End Centre located in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania for approximately $12.4 million. In connection with this sale, the mortgage debt which was cross-collateralized by the East End Centre and Crescent Plaza was extinguished.
 
Additionally the Company completed the following two land sales in 2003 and 2002:
 
In January 2002, the Company, with a joint venture partner, purchased a three-acre site located in the Bronx, New York for $3.1 million. Simultaneously, the Company sold approximately 46% of the land to a self-storage facility for $3.3 million. The Company’s share of net proceeds totaled $1.4 million. The Company currently plans to build and lease a 15,000 square foot retail building on the remaining parcel.

On November 8, 2002, a joint venture between the Company and an unaffiliated joint venture partner completed the sale of a contract to purchase land in Bethel, Connecticut, to the Target Corporation for $2.4 million. The joint venture received a $1.6 million note receivable for the net purchase price and additional reimbursements due from the buyer, which was paid in full during 2003. The Company’s share of the net proceeds totaled $1.4 million.
 
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OTHER COMMITMENTS
 
At December 31, 2004, maturities on the Company’s mortgage notes ranged from July 2007 to September 2014. In addition, the Company has non-cancelable ground leases at three of its shopping centers. The Company also leases space for its White Plains corporate office for a term expiring in 2010.

The Company owns a 49% interest in two partnerships which own the Crossroads Shopping Center (“Crossroads”). The Company accounts for its investment in Crossroads using the equity method of accounting as it has a non-controlling investment in Crossroads, but exercises significant influence. As such, the Company’s financial statements reflect its share of income from, but not the assets and liabilities of, Crossroads. The Company’s pro rata share of Crossroads mortgage debt as of December 31, 2004 was $31.4 million. This fixed-rate debt, which was refinanced in October of 2004, bears interest at 5.4% and matures in December 2014 In connection with the refinancing, the Company paid $1.3 million to settle two variable to fixed-rate swap agreements which served to hedge the former LIBOR based floating rate debt.
 
Reference is made to the discussion of Funds I and II under “Uses of Liquidity” in this Item 7 for additional detail related to the Company’s investment in and commitments to Funds I and II. The Company owns a 22% interest in Fund I and 20% in Fund II for which it also uses the equity method of accounting. The Company’s pro rata share of Funds I and II fixed-rate mortgage debt as of December 31, 2004 was $21.7 million at a weighted average interest rate of 6.4%. The Company’s pro rata share of Fund I and II variable-rate mortgage debt as of December 31, 2004 was $5.7 million at an interest rate of 4.3%. Maturities on these loans range from May 2005 to January 2023.
 
HISTORICAL CASH FLOW
 
The following discussion of historical cash flow compares the Company’s cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2004 (“2004’) with the Company’s cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2003 (“2003”).
 
Cash and cash equivalents were $13.5 million and $14.1 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease of $0.6 million was a result of the following increases and decreases in cash flows:

The variance in net cash provided by operating activities resulted primarily from an increase of $4.4 million in operating income before non-cash expenses in 2004, which was primarily due to an increase in rents following the redevelopment of the Gateway shopping center, re-tenanting activities and an increase in management fee income.

The variance in net cash used in investing activities was primarily the result of an additional $15.2 million of distributions received from unconsolidated partnerships in 2004, a $2.5 million earn-out payment in 2003 related to a redevelopment project and a $6.2 million decrease in expenditures for real estate acquisitions, development and tenant installations during 2004.  In addition, $0.9 million of proceeds from the sale of land were received in 2004. These increases were offset by additional investments in and advances to unconsolidated partnerships of $10.4 million in 2004 as well as $10.4 million of notes issued in 2004.
 
The decrease in net cash used in financing activities resulted from $28.3 of proceeds received in 2004 related to the issuance of Common Shares and $9.3 million of cash provided by the exercise of stock options in 2004.  These decreases were partially offset by $12.8 million of additional cash used in 2004 for net repayments of outstanding mortgage debt , $2.8 million of additional cash paid for dividends and distributions on Common OP Units in 2004, $1.4 million of cash used for additional deferred financing costs in 2004 and $1.3 million of cash used to terminate a derivative instrument in 2004.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used by the Company in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.
 
Valuation of Property Held for Use and Sale
 
On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews the carrying value of both properties held for use and for sale. The Company records impairment losses and reduces the carrying value of properties when indicators of impairment are present and the expected undiscounted cash flows related to those properties are less than their carrying amounts. In cases where the Company does not expect to recover its carrying costs on properties held for use, the Company reduces its carrying cost to fair value, and for properties held for sale, the Company reduces its carrying value to the fair value less costs to sell. For the year ended December 31, 2002, an impairment loss of $0.2 million was recognized related to properties which were held for sale and subsequently sold. Management does not believe that the value of any properties in its portfolio was impaired as of December 31, 2004 or 2003.
 
Bad Debts
 
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make payments on arrearages in billed rents, as well as the likelihood that tenants will not have the ability to make payment on unbilled rents including estimated expense recoveries and straight-line rent. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $2.8 million. If the financial condition of the Company’s tenants were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
 
INFLATION
 
The Company’s long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation on the Company’s net income. Such provisions include clauses enabling the Company to receive percentage rents based on tenants’ gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or, in certain cases, escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. Such escalation clauses are often related to increases in the consumer price index or similar inflation indexes. In addition, many of the Company’s leases are for terms of less than ten years, which permits the Company to seek to increase rents upon re-rental at market rates if current rents are below the then existing market rates. Most of the Company’s leases require the tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing the Company’s exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

ITEM 7A.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
The Company’s primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates related to the Company’s mortgage debt. See the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for certain quantitative details related to the Company’s mortgage debt.
 
Currently, the Company manages its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates primarily through the use of fixed-rate debt and interest rate swap agreements  As of December 31, 2004, the Company had total mortgage debt of $153.4 million of which $146.4 million, or 95% was fixed-rate, inclusive of interest rate swaps, and $7.0 million, or 5%, was variable-rate based upon LIBOR plus certain spreads. As of December 31, 2004, the Company was a party to five interest rate swap transactions to hedge the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $86.2 million of LIBOR based variable-rate debt. The Company also has four forward-starting interest rate swaps which commence during 2005, 2006 and 2007 and mature from 2010 to 2012 that will hedge the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $62.2 million of refinanced LIBOR-based variable rate debt with the matching maturities.

Of the Company’s total outstanding debt, $12.5 million will become due in 2007. As the Company intends on refinancing some or all of such debt at the then-existing market interest rates which may be greater than the current interest rate, the Company’s interest expense would increase by approximately $0.1 million annually if the interest rate on the refinanced debt increased by 100 basis points. Interest expense on the Company’s variable debt as of December 31, 2004 would not increase materially as the Company has only $7.0 million of floating rate debt after taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps hedging $86.2 million of notional principal. The Company may seek additional variable-rate financing if and when pricing and other commercial and financial terms warrant. As such, the Company would consider hedging against the interest rate risk related to such additional variable-rate debt through interest rate swaps and protection agreements, or other means.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
(i) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
     The Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2004.
 
     (ii) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
          (a) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Management of Acadia Realty Trust is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(c). In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth in the framework in Internal Control–Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control–Integrated Framework , our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2004.
 
Our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears in this item 9A.

          (b) Attestation report of the independent registered public accounting firm
 
The Shareholders and Trustees of
Acadia Realty Trust
 
We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries’ management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
36

 
In our opinion, management’s assessment that Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria.  Also, in our opinion, Acadia Realty Trust maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on the COSO criteria.
 
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 and our report dated March 10, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

          (c) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
          There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2004 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Shareholders and Trustees of
Acadia Realty Trust
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
 
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 10, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2004
(In thousands, except per share amounts)
 
1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Acadia Realty Trust (the “Company”) is a fully integrated and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) which specializes in the acquisition, redevelopment and operation of shopping centers which are anchored by grocery and value-oriented retail.
 
All of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and its majority owned partnerships. As of December 31, 2004, the Company controlled 99% of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner. As the general partner, the Company is entitled to share, in proportion to its percentage interest, in the cash distributions and profits and losses of the Operating Partnership. The limited partners represent entities or individuals who contributed their interests in certain properties or partnerships to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common or preferred units of limited partnership interest (“Common or Preferred OP Units”). Limited partners holding Common OP Units are generally entitled to exchange their units on a one-for-one basis for common shares of beneficial interest of the Company (“Common Shares”). This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or “UPREIT”.
 
On August 12, 1998, the Company completed a major reorganization (“RDC Transaction”) in which it acquired twelve shopping centers, five multi-family properties and a 49% interest in one shopping center along with certain third party management contracts and promissory notes from real estate investment partnerships (“RDC Funds”) managed by affiliates of RD Capital, Inc. In exchange for these and a cash investment of $100,000, the Company issued 11.1 million Common OP Units and 15.3 million Common Shares to the RDC Funds. After giving effect to the conversion of the Common OP Units, the RDC Funds beneficially owned 72% of the Common Shares as of the closing of the RDC Transaction. During February of 2003, the Company issued OP Units and cash valued at $2,750 to certain limited partners in connection with an obligation from the RDC Transaction. The payment was due upon the commencement of rental payments from a designated tenant at one of the properties acquired in the RDC Transaction.
 
As of December 31, 2004, the Company operated 69 properties, which it owns or has an ownership interest in, consisting of 64 neighborhood and community shopping centers, one shopping center under development, one enclosed mall, one mixed-use property (retail/residential) and two multi-family properties, which are located primarily in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern regions of the United States and, in total, comprise approximately 9.6 million square feet.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its majority owned partnerships, including the Operating Partnership. Non-controlling investments in partnerships are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Company exercises significant influence.
 
Variable interest entities within the scope of Financial Accounting Statements Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46-R”) are required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is determined to be the party that absorbs a majority of the entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of its expected returns, or both. Management has evaluated the applicability of FIN 46-R to its investments in certain joint ventures and determined that these joint ventures do not meet the requirements of a variable interest entity and, therefore, consolidation of these ventures is not required. Accordingly, these investments are accounted for using the equity method.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
 
Properties
 
Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for acquisition, development, construction and improvement of properties, as well as significant renovations are capitalized. Interest costs are capitalized until construction is substantially complete. Construction in progress includes costs for significant shopping center expansion and redevelopment. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 30 to 40 years for buildings and the shorter of the useful life or lease term for improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
 
The Company reviews its long-lived assets used in operations for impairment when there is an event, or change in circumstances that indicates impairment in value. The Company records impairment losses and reduces the carrying value of properties when indicators of impairment are present and the expected undiscounted cash flows related to those properties are less than their carrying amounts. In cases where the Company does not expect to recover its carrying costs on properties held for use, the Company reduces its carrying cost to fair value, and for properties held for sale, the Company reduces its carrying value to the fair value less costs to sell. During the year ended December 31, 2002, an impairment loss of $197 was recognized related to a property that was sold as of December 31, 2002. Management does not believe that the values of its properties within the portfolio are impaired as of December 31, 2004.
 
Deferred Costs
 
Fees and costs paid in the successful negotiation of leases have been deferred and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Fees and costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the related debt obligation.
 
Management Contracts
 
Income from management contracts, net of submanagement fees, is recognized on an accrual basis as such fees are earned. The initial acquisition cost of the management contracts is being amortized over the estimated lives of the contracts acquired.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Leases with tenants are accounted for as operating leases. Minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective leases. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003 unbilled rents receivable relating to straight-lining of rents were $6,506 and $5,873, respectively.
 
Percentage rents are recognized in the period when the tenant sales breakpoint is met.
 
Reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance and other property operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period the expenses are incurred.
 
An allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided against certain tenant accounts receivable that are estimated to be uncollectible. Rents receivable at December 31, 2004 and 2003 are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $2,841 and $2,420, respectively.
 
Interest income from notes receivable is recognized on an accrual basis based on the contractual terms of the notes.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
 
Cash in Escrow
 
Cash in escrow consists principally of cash held for real estate taxes, property maintenance, insurance, minimum occupancy and property operating income requirements at specific properties as required by certain loan agreements.

Income Taxes
 
The Company has made an election to be taxed, and believes it qualifies as a REIT under Sections 856 through 858 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To maintain REIT status for federal income tax purposes, the Company is generally required to distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income as well as comply with certain other requirements as defined by the Code. The Company is not subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent that it distributes 100% of its REIT taxable income each year. Accordingly, no provision has been made for Federal income taxes for the Company in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company is subject to state income or franchise taxes in certain states in which some of its properties are located. These state taxes, which in total are not significant, are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
Stock-based Compensation
 
Prior to 2002, the Company accounted for stock options under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the fair value method of recording stock-based compensation contained in SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”). As such, all stock options granted after December 31, 2001 are reflected as compensation expense in the Company’s consolidated financial statements over their vesting period based on the fair value at the date the stock-based compensation was granted. As provided for in SFAS No. 123, the Company elected the “prospective method” for the adoption of the fair value basis method of accounting for employee stock options. Under this method, the recognition provisions will be applied to all employee awards granted, modified or settled after January 1, 2002.
 
The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation for stock options granted prior to January 1, 2002. See Note 11 – “Share Incentive Plan” for the assumptions utilized in valuing stock options:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153: Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. The amendments made by SFAS No. 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have “commercial substance.” SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 153 on June 15, 2005 will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123: (Revised 2004) - Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”).  SFAS 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, which the Company adopted on January 1, 2003. SFAS No. 123R requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements and be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS No. 123R is effective as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005.  The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 123R will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications
 
Certain 2003 and 2002 amounts were reclassified to conform to the 2004 presentation.
 
2.   Acquisition and Disposition of Properties
 
Currently the primary vehicle for the Company’s acquisitions are through its acquisition joint ventures (Note 4).
 
A significant component of the Company’s business plan in prior years was also the disposition of non-core real estate assets. Under this initiative, which was completed in 2002, the Company sold a total of two apartment complexes and 23 shopping centers.
 
Dispositions relate to the sale of shopping centers, multi-family properties and land. Gains from these sales are recognized in accordance with the provisions of  SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate”.
 
2002 Acquisitions and Dispositions
 
On November 8, 2002, the Company and an unaffiliated joint venture partner completed the sale of a contract to purchase land in Bethel, Connecticut, to the Target Corporation for $1,540 after closing and other related costs. The joint venture received a $1,632 note receivable for the net purchase price and additional reimbursements due from the buyer and deferred recognition of the gain on sale in accordance with SFAS No. 66. The note was paid in full on January 10, 2003, and as such, the Company’s share of the deferred gain, or $634, was recognized in 2003. Additional amounts held in escrow from the closing of $932 were released to the Company during 2004 and recognized as additional gain. Of this amount, $466 was attributable to the Company’s joint venture partner and reflected in minority interest in the accompany consolidated statement of income.
 
On October 11, 2002, the Company sold the Manahawkin Village Shopping Center and Valmont Plaza for $16,825 to two entities affiliated with each other. The Company received two purchase money notes in connection with the sale. The first for $11,000 was repaid in full on November 8, 2002. The second for $1,600, was repaid in full on April 11, 2003. As part of the transaction, the Company repaid $3,084 of mortgage debt secured by the Valmont Plaza. The $4,049 of mortgage debt secured by the Manahawkin Village Shopping Center was repaid in full on September 27, 2002, prior to the sale. The Company recorded a $166 gain on the sale.

2.   Acquisition and Disposition of Properties, continued
 
On April 24, 2002, the Company sold a multi-property portfolio for $52,700. The portfolio consisted of 17 retail properties, which were cross-collateralized in a securitized loan program and in the aggregate contained approximately 2.3 million square feet. As part of the transaction, the buyer assumed the outstanding mortgage debt of $42,438. The Company retained a senior, preferred interest in the acquiring entity in the amount of $6,262, which earned an initial annual preferred return of 15%. On December 31, 2002, the Company’s interest was purchased at par by an affiliate of the purchaser of the portfolio. The Company recorded an $8,134 gain on the sale.

3.   Segment Reporting
 
The Company has two reportable segments: retail properties and multi-family properties. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates property performance primarily based on net operating income before depreciation, amortization and certain nonrecurring items. The reportable segments are managed separately due to the differing nature of the leases and property operations associated with the retail versus residential tenants. The following table sets forth certain segment information for the Company, reclassified for discontinued operations, as of and for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 (does not include unconsolidated partnerships):

4.   Investments in Unconsolidated Partnerships, continued
 
Acquisitions completed during 2004 and 2003 were as follows:
 
On March 11, 2004, Fund I, in conjunction with the Company’s long-time investment partner, Hendon Properties (“Hendon”), purchased a $9,600 first mortgage loan from New York Life Insurance Company for $5,500. The loan, which was secured by a 235,000 square foot shopping center in Aiken, South Carolina, was in default at acquisition. Fund I and Hendon acquired the loan with the intention of pursuing ownership of the property securing the debt. Fund I provided 90% of the equity capital and Hendon provided the remaining 10% of the equity capital used to acquire the loan. Hendon is entitled to receive profit participation in excess of its proportionate equity interest. The property is currently anchored by a Kroger supermarket and was only 56% occupied at acquisition due to the vacancy of a former Kmart store. Subsequent to the acquisition of the loan, Fund I and Hendon obtained fee title to this property and currently plan to redevelop and re-anchor the center. The Company loaned $3,150 to Fund I in connection with the purchase of the first mortgage loan. The note matures March 9, 2006, and bears interest at 7% for the first year and 6% for the second year. In addition to its loan to Fund I, the Company invested approximately $900, primarily its pro-rata share of equity as a partner in Fund I. In September 2004, Fund I and Hendon purchased the Pine Log Plaza for $1,500. The 35,000 square foot center is located in front of and adjacent to the Hitchcock Plaza. Related to this transaction, the Company provided an additional $750 loan to Fund I with a March 2006 maturity and interest at 7% for the first year and 6% for the second year.
 
In May 2004, Fund I acquired a 50% interest in Haygood Shopping Center and Sterling Heights Shopping Center for an aggregate investment of $3,184. These assets are part of the portfolio that the Company currently manages as a result of its January 2004 acquisition of certain management contracts. The Haygood Shopping Center is a 165,000 square foot shopping center located in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The Sterling Heights Shopping Center is a 141,000 square foot shopping center located in Sterling Heights, Michigan.
 
In May 2004, Fund I and an unaffiliated partner, each with a 50% interest, acquired a 35,000 square foot shopping center in Tarrytown, New York, for approximately $5,300.  Related to this acquisition, the Company loaned $2,000 to Fund I which bears interest at the prime rate and matures May 2005.
 
In January 2003, Fund I and an unaffiliated joint venture party acquired a one million square foot supermarket portfolio consisting of twenty-five anchor-only leases with either Kroger or Safeway supermarkets (“Kroger/Safeway Portfolio”). The portfolio was acquired through long-term ground leases with terms, including renewal options, averaging in excess of 80 years, which are master leased to a non-affiliated entity. The purchase price of $48,900 (inclusive of closing and other related acquisition costs) included the assumption of $34,450 of existing fixed-rate debt which bears interest at a weighted-average rate of 6.6%. The mortgage debt fully amortizes over the next seven years, which is coterminous with the primary lease term of the supermarket leases. Fund I invested $11,250 of the equity capitalization of which the Company’s share was $2,500.
 
In January 2003, Fund I acquired a one million square foot portfolio for an initial purchase price of $86,287, inclusive of closing and other related acquisition costs. The portfolio consists of two shopping centers located in Wilmington, Delaware (“Brandywine Portfolio”). A portion of one of the properties is currently unoccupied, which Fund I will pay for on an “earn-out” basis only when it is leased. To date, Fund I has incurred costs of $20,600 for Earn-out space. At closing, Fund I assumed $38,082 of fixed-rate debt which bears interest at a weighted average rate of 6.2% as well as obtained an additional fixed-rate loan of $30,000 which bears interest at 4.7%. Fund I invested equity of $19,270 in the acquisition, of which the Company’s share was $4,282.

Interest rates ranged from 3.8% to 7.6%.  Taking into consideration $86,156 of notional principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, $146,407 of the portfolio, or 95%, was fixed at a 6.1% weighted average interest rate and $6,954, or 5% was floating at a 3.8% weighted average interest rate.  Mortgage payments are due in monthly installments of principal and/or interest and mature on various dates through 2014. Certain loans are cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted. The loan agreements contain customary representations, covenants and events of default. Certain loan agreements require the Company to comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants, including the maintenance of certain debt service coverage and leverage ratios.

On June 30, 2004, the Company closed on a $45,900 cross collateralized revolving facility, which is collateralized by five of the Company’s properties.  The existing combined outstanding debt of $23,000 was modified to allow the Company to borrow an additional $22,900.

7.   Shareholders’ Equity and Minority Interests, continued
 
In May 2004, the Board of Trustees approved a resolution permitting one of its institutional shareholders, which currently owns approximately 2% of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares, to acquire additional shares through open market purchases.  This waiver of the Company’s share ownership limitation will permit this shareholder to acquire up to an additional 3% of the Company’s shares through December 31, 2004, or an aggregate of up to 5% of the Company’s Common Shares.
 
During 2003, the Board of Trustees approved a resolution permitting one of its institutional shareholders, which currently owns 6% of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares, to acquire additional shares through open market purchases. This waiver of the Company’s Common Shares ownership limitation, which was approved in response to a request from this institutional investor, permited this shareholder to acquire up to an additional 3.7% of the Company’s Common Shares through March 31, 2004, or an aggregate of up to 9.7% of the Company’s Common Shares.
 
Through December 31, 2004, the Company had repurchased 2,051,605 Common Shares at a total cost of $11,650 (of which 1,425,643 of these Common Shares have been subsequently reissued) under the expanded share repurchase program that allows for the repurchase of up to $20,000 of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares. The repurchased shares are reflected as a reduction of par value and additional paid-in capital.
 
Minority Interests
 
Minority interest in Operating Partnership represents the limited partners’ interest of 392,255 and 1,139,017 units in the Operating Partnership (“Common OP Units”) at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. During 2004 and 2003, various limited partners converted a total of 746,762 and 2,058,804 Common OP Units into Common Shares on a one-for-one basis, respectively. Mr. Dworman, a trustee of the Company, received 34,841 of Common OP Units through various affiliated entities during 2003 (Note 8).
 
Minority interest in Operating Partnership also includes 1,580 units of preferred limited partnership interests designated as Series A Preferred Units at December 31, 2004 and 2003 and 4,000 preferred limited partnership interests designated as Series B Preferred Units at December 31, 2004.
 
The Series A Preferred OP Units were issued on November 16, 1999 in connection with the acquisition of all the partnership interests of the limited partnership which owns the Pacesetter Park Shopping Center. Certain Series A Preferred OP Unit holders converted 632 Series A Preferred OP Units into 84,267 Common OP Units and then into Common Shares during 2003. The Series A Preferred OP Units, which have a stated value of $1,000 each, are entitled to a quarterly preferred distribution of the greater of (i) $22.50 (9% annually) per Series A Preferred OP Unit or (ii) the quarterly distribution attributable to a Series A Preferred OP Unit if such unit were converted into a Common OP Unit. The Series A Preferred OP Units are currently convertible into Common OP Units based on the stated value divided by $7.50. After the seventh anniversary following their issuance, either the Company or the holders can call for the conversion of the Series A Preferred OP Units at the lesser of $7.50 or the market price of the Common Shares as of the conversion date.
 
The Series B Preferred OP Units were issued to Klaff Realty LP (“Klaff”) in January 2004 in consideration for the acquisition of certain management contract rights. The Series B Preferred OP Units, with a stated value of a $1,000 each, are entitled to a preferred quarterly distribution of the greater of (i) $13.00 (5.2% annually) per unit or (ii) the quarterly distribution attributable to a Series B Preferred OP Unit if such unit were converted into a Common OP Unit. The Series B Preferred OP Units are convertible into Common OP Units based on the stated value of $1,000 divided by $12.82 at any time. The Company’s Board of Trustees approved a waiver on February 24, 2004, which allows Klaff to redeem 1,500 Series B Preferred OP Units at any time for cash. As of December 31, 2004, none of these units have been redeemed.
 
Minority interests in majority-owned partnerships represent third party interests in four properties in which the Company has a majority ownership position.

Space in the shopping centers and other retail properties is leased to various tenants under operating leases that usually grant tenants renewal options and generally provide for additional rents based on certain operating expenses as well as tenants’ sales volume.
 
Minimum future rentals to be received under non-cancelable leases for shopping centers and other retail properties as of December 31, 2004 are summarized as follows:

Minimum future rentals above include a total of $4,805 for two tenants (with three leases), which have filed for bankruptcy protection. None of these leases have been rejected nor affirmed. During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, no single tenant collectively accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenues.
 
10.   Lease Obligations
 
The Company leases land at four of its shopping centers, which are accounted for as operating leases and generally provide the Company with renewal options. Ground rent expense was $791, $780 and $791 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The leases terminate during the years 2020 to 2066. One of these leases provides the Company with options to renew for additional terms aggregating from 20 to 44 years. The Company leases space for its White Plains corporate office for a term expiring in 2010. Office rent expense was $239, $242 and $109 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

11.   Share Incentive Plan
 
During 1999, the Company adopted the 1999 Share Incentive Plan (the “1999 Plan”), which replaced both the 1994 Share Option Plan and the 1994 Non-Employee Trustees’ Share Option Plan. The 1999 Plan authorizes the issuance of options equal to up to 8% of the total Common Shares outstanding from time to time on a fully diluted basis. However, not more than 4,000,000 of the Common Shares in the aggregate may be issued pursuant to the exercise of options and no participant may receive more than 5,000,000 Common Shares during the term of the 1999 Plan. Options are granted by the Share Option Plan Committee (the “Committee”), which currently consists of two non-employee Trustees, and will not have an exercise price less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Shares and a term of greater than ten years at the grant date. Vesting of options is at the discretion of the Committee with the exception of options granted to non-employee Trustees, which vest in five equal annual installments beginning on the date of grant. Pursuant to the 1999 Plan, non-employee Trustees receive an automatic grant of 1,000 options following each Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
 
The 1999 Plan also provides for the granting of share appreciation rights, restricted shares and performance units/shares. Share appreciation rights provide for the participant to receive, upon exercise, cash and/or Common Shares, at the discretion of the committee, equal to the excess of the market value of the Common Shares at the exercise date over the market value of the Common Shares at the Grant Date. The Committee will determine the award and restrictions placed on restricted shares, including the dividends thereon and the term of such restrictions. The Committee also determines the award and vesting of performance units and performance shares based on the attainment of specified performance objectives of the Company within a specified performance period. Through December 31, 2004, no share appreciation rights or performance units/shares have been awarded.
 
During 2003, the Company adopted the 2003 Share Incentive Plan (the “2003 Plan”) because no Common Shares remained available for future grants under the 1999 Plan. The 2003 Plan provides for the granting of options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares and performance units (collectively, “Awards”) to officers, employees and trustees of the Company and consultants to the Company. The 2003 Plan is generally identical to the 1999 Plan, except that the maximum number of Common Shares that the Company may issue pursuant to the 2003 Plan is four percent of the Common Shares outstanding from time to time on a fully diluted basis. However, no participant may receive more than 1,000,000 Common Shares during the term of the 2003 Plan with respect to Awards.
 
As of December 31, 2004, the Company has 464,650 options outstanding to officers and employees. These fully vested options are for ten-year terms from the grant date and, except for 10,000 options which vested fully as of the grant date, vested in three equal annual installments which began on the grant date. In addition, 26,000 options have been issued to non-employee Trustees of which 8,200 options were vested as of December 31, 2004.
 
During 2004, the Committee granted a total of 126,853 restricted shares ( net of subsequent forfeitures) pursuant to the 2003 Plan to certain employees of the Company (the “Recipients”). In general, the restricted shares carry all the rights of Common Shares including voting and dividend rights, but may not be transferred, assigned or pledged until the Recipients have a vested non-forfeitable right to such shares. Vesting with respect to these restricted shares, which is subject to the Recipients’ continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting dates, is as follows:
 
 
i.    85,157 restricted shares vest 20% on each of the next five anniversaries of the grant date, January 2, 2004 (“Grant Date”) ,
 
 
 
ii.   20,848 restricted shares vest 20% on each of the next five anniversaries of the Grant Date, provided that in addition to the Recipients’ continued employment through the vesting date, the Company’s total shareholder return, as determined by the Committee in its discretion, is 8% or more either for such fiscal year or, on average, for such fiscal year and each other fiscal year occurring after January 2, 2004 – in which case vesting shall occur for any restricted shares that did not vest in a prior fiscal year based on this 8% condition.
 
 
 
iii.  20,848 restricted shares vest 20% on each of the next five anniversaries of the Grant Date, provided that in addition to the Recipients’ continued employment through the vesting date, the Company’s total shareholder return, as determined by the Committee in its discretion, is 11% or more either for such fiscal year or, on average, for such fiscal year and each other fiscal year occurring after January 2, 2004 – in which case vesting shall occur for any restricted shares that did not vest in a prior fiscal year based on this 11% condition.
 
The total value of the above restricted share awards on the date of grant was $1,586 which will be recognized in expense over the vesting period.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2003, 107,834 restricted shares were issued pursuant to the 2003 Plan. The total value of the restricted share awards on the date of grant was $752 which will be recognized in expense over the vesting period.  No restricted shares were issued for the year ended December 31, 2002. No awards of share appreciation rights or performance units/shares were granted for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.

11.   Share Incentive Plan, continued
 
For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, $764, $410 and $121, respectively, was recognized in compensation expense related to restricted share grants. Unearned compensation of $1,400 as of December 31, 2004 will be recognized in expense as such shares vest.
 
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the fair value method of recording stock-based compensation contained in SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. As such, stock based compensation awards are expensed over the vesting period based on the fair value at the date the stock-based compensation was granted.
 
The Company has used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for purposes of estimating the fair value in determining compensation expense for options granted for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002. The Company has also used this model for the pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share as required by SFAS No. 123 for options issued for the year ended December 31, 2001 as if the Company had also accounted for these employee stock options under the fair value method. The fair value for the options issued by the Company was estimated at the date of the grant using the following weighted-average assumptions resulting in:

12.   Employee Stock Purchase and Deferred Share Plan
 
In 2003, the Company adopted the Acadia Realty Trust Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”), which allows eligible employees of the Company to purchase Common Shares through payroll deductions. The Purchase Plan provides for employees to purchase Common Shares on a quarterly basis at a 15% discount to the closing price of the Company’s Common Shares on either the first day or the last day of the quarter, whichever is lower. The amount of the payroll deductions will not exceed a percentage of the participant’s annual compensation that the Committee establishes from time to time, and a participant may not purchase more than 1,000 Common Shares per quarter. Compensation expense will be recognized by the Company to the extent of the above discount to the average closing price of the Common Shares with respect to the applicable quarter. During 2004 and 2003, 6,397 and 810 Common Shares, respectively, were purchased by Employees under the Purchase Plan and the associated compensation expense was $15 and $1, respectively.
 
In August of 2004, the Company adopted a Deferral and Distribution Election (“Deferred Share Election”) pursuant to the 1999 Share Incentive Plan and 2003 Share Incentive Plan, whereby the participants elected to defer receipt of 190,487 Common Shares (“Share Units”) that would otherwise be issued upon the exercise of certain options.  The payment of the option exercise price was made by tendering Common Shares that the participants owned for at least six months prior to the option exercise date.  The Share Units are equivalent to a Common Share on a one-for-one basis and carry a dividend equivalent right equal to the dividend rate for the Company’s Common shares. The deferral period is determined by each of the participants and generally terminates after the cessation of the participants continuous service with the Company, as defined in the agreement.  In December 2004, optionees exercised 346,000 options pursuant to the Deferred Share Election and tendered 155,513 Common Shares in consideration of the option exercise price. The Company issued 155,513 Common Shares to optionees and 190,487 Share Units.
 
13.   Employee 401(k) Plan
 
The Company maintains a 401(k) plan for employees under which the Company currently matches 50% of a plan participant’s contribution up to 6% of the employee’s annual salary. A plan participant may contribute up to a maximum of 15% of their compensation but not in excess of $13 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The Company contributed $109, $110, and $115 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
 
14.   Dividends and Distributions Payable
 
On December 7, 2004, the Company declared a cash dividend for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 of $0.1725 per Common Share. The dividend was paid on January 14, 2005 to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2004.
 
The Company has determined that the cash distributed to the shareholders is characterized as follows for Federal income tax purposes:

16.   Financial Instruments
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments” requires disclosure on the fair value of financial instruments. Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restrictred Cash, Cash in Escrow, Rents Receivable, Notes Receivable, Prepaid Expenses, Other Assets, Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses, Dividends and Distributions Payable, Due to Related Parties and Other Liabilities – The carrying amount of these assets and liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such accounts.
 
Derivative Instruments – The fair value of these instruments is based upon the estimated amounts the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and is determined using interest rate market pricing models.
 
Mortgage Notes Payable – As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company has determined the estimated fair value of its mortgage notes payable are approximately $153,612 and $193,619, respectively, by discounting future cash payments utilizing a discount rate equivalent to the rate at which similar mortgage notes payable would be originated under conditions then existing.
 
Derivative Financial Instruments
 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133), as amended and interpreted, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities.  As required by SFAS 133, the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.  The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.
 
For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged item related to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in fair value or cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in fair value or cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction. For derivatives not designated as hedges, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.
 
As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, no derivatives were designated as fair value hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations.  Additionally, the Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges.
 
During November 2004, the Company terminated interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $16,974 in connection with its investment in the Crossroads joint venture, which completed a refinancing of an existing variable-rate mortgage with a new fixed-rate mortgage. The fair value of these interest rate swaps was $1,307 which was paid by the Company to the counter-party at the termination date. This amount has been deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income and will be reclassified as additional interest expense as the hedged forecasted interest payments occur. Of this amount, $62 was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income as additional interest expense during 2004.
 
In June of 2002, the Company completed two interest rate swap transactions to hedge the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $25,047 of LIBOR based variable rate debt. These agreements, which are for $15,885 and $9,162 of notional principal, mature on January 1, 2007 and June 1, 2007, respectively and are at a weighted average fixed interest rate of 6.2%.
 
On July 10, 2002, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge its exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $12,288 of LIBOR based variable-rate debt. The swap agreement, which matures on January 1, 2007, provides for a fixed all-in interest rate of 4.1%.
 
In January and February 2004, the Company entered into four forward starting variable to fixed interest rate swap agreements as described in the table below.

Notes:
(1)     Forward starting interest swap agreements
 
As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the derivative instruments were reported at fair value as derivative instrument liabilities of $2,136 and $5,860 (of which $1,816 was reflected as a reduction of investments in and advances to unconsolidated partnerships for 2003), respectively. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, unrealized losses totaling $3,219 and $5,734 represented the fair value of the aforementioned derivatives, of which $3,180 and $5,505 was reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss, and $39 and $229 as a reduction of minority interest in Operating Partnership. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company recorded in interest expense an unrealized (loss) gain of ($37) and $51, respectively, due to partial ineffectiveness on one of the swaps which was terminated in November 2004. The ineffectiveness resulted from differences between the derivative notional and the principal amount of the hedged variable rate debt.
 
The Company’s interest rate hedges are designated as cash flow hedges and hedge the future cash outflows on mortgage debt. Interest rate swaps that convert variable payments to fixed payments, such as those held by the Company, as well as interest rate caps, floors, collars, and forwards are cash flow hedges. The unrealized gains and losses in the fair value of these hedges are reported on the balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment to either accumulated other comprehensive income or earnings depending on the type of hedging relationship. For cash flow hedges, offsetting gains and losses are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. Over time, the unrealized gains and losses held in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified to earnings. This reclassification occurs over the same time period in which the hedged items affect earnings. Within the next twelve months, the Company expects to reclassify to earnings as interest expense approximately $1,300 of the current balance held in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
 
17.   Earnings Per Common Share
 
Basic earnings per share was determined by dividing the applicable net income to common shareholders for the year by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during each year consistent with SFAS No. 128. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Shares were exercised or converted into Common Shares or resulted in the issuance of Common Shares that then shared in the earnings of the Company. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the periods indicated

The weighted average shares used in the computation of basic earnings per share include unvested restricted shares (Note 11) and Share Units that are entitled to receive dividend equivalent payments (Note 12). The effect of the conversion of Common OP Units is not reflected in the above table as they are exchangeable for Common Shares on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as minority interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share.

19. Commitments and Contingencies
 
Under various Federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the cost of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances disposed, stored, generated, released, manufactured or discharged from, on, at, under, or in a property. As such, the Company may be potentially liable for costs associated with any potential environmental remediation at any of its formerly or currently owned properties.
 
The Company conducts Phase I environmental reviews with respect to properties it acquires. These reviews include an investigation for the presence of asbestos, underground storage tanks and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Although such reviews are intended to evaluate the environmental condition of the subject property as well as surrounding properties, there can be no assurance that the review conducted by the Company will be adequate to identify environmental or other problems that may exist. Where a Phase I assessment so recommended, a Phase II assessment was conducted to further determine the extent of possible environmental contamination. In all instances where a Phase I or II assessment has resulted in specific recommendations for remedial actions, the Company has either taken or scheduled the recommended remedial action. To mitigate unknown risks, the Company has obtained environmental insurance for most of its properties, which covers only unknown environmental risks.
 
The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all Federal, state and local ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances. Management is not aware of any environmental liability that they believe would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Management is unaware of any instances in which it would incur significant environmental costs if any or all properties were sold, disposed of or abandoned. However, there can be no assurance that any such non-compliance, liability, claim or expenditure will not arise in the future.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company accrued estimated costs of $730 related to flood damage incurred at the Mark Plaza located Wilkes-Barre, PA.  Under the terms of the Company’s insurance policy, a maximum deductible of approximately $730 would apply in the event the flood damage was the direct result of a “named” storm.  The insurance company currently contends that the flood damage resulted directly from Hurricane Ivan, a “named” storm.
 
The Company is involved in various matters of litigation arising in the normal course of business. While the Company is unable to predict with certainty the amounts involved, the Company’s management and counsel are of the opinion that, when such litigation is resolved, the Company’s resulting liability, if any, will not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

WHEREAS, Article XIV of the By-Laws grant to the Trustees the exclusive power to adopt, alter or repeal any provision of the By-Laws; and WHEREAS, the Trustees have determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to shorten the notice period required for special meetings of the Trustees and to otherwise update the methods by which notice may be given to Trustees.

This Amendment was adopted by the Trustees to be effective on March 15, 2005. /s/ Robert Masters ------------------------------ Robert Masters, Secretary EX-10 5 ex10-44.txt EX10-44.TXT Exhibit 10.44 **THIS DOCUMENT CONSTITUTES PART OF A PROSPECTUS COVERING SECURITIES THAT HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.** Prospectus Supplement ACADIA REALTY TRUST 1999 SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN 2003 SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT REGARDING OPTIONS ISSUED UNDER THE ACADIA REALTY TRUST 1999 SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN AND 2003 SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN ---------- This document supplements the Prospectus dated July 2, 2003 describing the Acadia Realty Trust 2003 Share Incentive Plan, under which 1,163,008 common shares, par value $.001 per share, may be transferred from time to time. This document also supplements the Prospectus dated June 16, 1999 describing the Acadia Realty Trust 1999 Share Incentive Plan, under which 2,928,269 common shares, par value $.001 per share, may be transferred from time to time. This document is directed to and intended only for employees, consultants and trustees of Acadia Realty Trust who are participants in the Acadia Realty Trust 1999 Share Incentive Plan and 2003 Share Incentive Plan. ---------- THE DATE OF THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT IS AUGUST 15, 2004 SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION This Prospectus Supplement and the attached Deferral and Distribution Election Form relate to certain Share options that select executive officers [and trustees] of the Company may elect to exercise through their surrender of previously-owned Shares. These elections will result in the deferred delivery of Shares pursuant to the Acadia Realty Trust 2003 Share Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). All the terms that begin with initial capital letters in this Prospectus Supplement have the same meaning defined in the Plan or the Agreement evidencing the grant of an Option (the "Award Agreement"), unless the context clearly requires otherwise. DESCRIPTION OF OPTION DEFERRAL PROGRAM Pursuant to Section 7.2(a) of the Plan, the Committee has recently approved the terms set forth in the attached Deferral and Distribution Election Form (the "Election Form") as one acceptable method for transferring Shares to the Company to pay the exercise price for your Options. The terms of the Election Form are incorporated herein by reference. The Election Form is designed to permit you to defer receipt of the Shares you would otherwise receive upon exercise of your Options in order to facilitate your deferral of current income taxation upon such exercise. The characteristics of the program that the Election Form contemplates are as follows: 1. To make a Share deferral, you must execute and deliver a completed Election Form to the Company not later than August 31st of 2004, and June 30th of any subsequent year. 2. An executed Election Form will apply to any Options that you exercise during the last 15 days of the calendar year in which your Election Form is effective, subject to the following conditions that you must fulfill before December 15 of the year to which your Election Form relates: (a) you must pay the full exercise price payable with respect to your Option by transferring to the Company Shares that you have beneficially-owned for at least six months; and (b) you must make suitable arrangements with the Company to pay any applicable employment taxes. 3. Your election to defer the receipt of Shares will be IRREVOCABLE but will become null and void if the Committee determines that any of the conditions set forth in Section 1 of the Election Form have occurred. 4. After you exercise the Option in accordance with the Election Form, the Company will establish an account ("Account") for you under the Plan, and will credit the Account with deferred share units ("Units"), on a one-to-one basis with the Shares that you would otherwise have received upon the exercise of the Option. Distributions in respect of the Account will be made in the form of one Share for each Unit credited to your Account (subject to adjustments for Changes in Capitalization). 5. Dividend equivalents will be paid in cash, in amounts having a value equal to the amount of any cash dividends that you would have received if you had owned the Shares underlying your Units. 6. The Company will issue unrestricted Shares to you only in accordance with the terms set forth in your Election Form. You will not have any rights of a shareholder before that occurs with respect to the Units or the Shares underlying the Units. 7. You may designate one or more beneficiaries to receive distributions in the event of your death. You may change these designations at any time prior to your death, but they will become irrevocable upon your death. 8. The Company may in its discretion take any actions that it considers reasonably necessary or proper to assure that any changes in the U.S. federal tax laws will not accelerate income taxation on Shares that are the subject of an Election Form to a date before the participant receives the Shares. In the event that U.S. federal tax laws or other applicable laws prohibit the elections in the Election Form or would require immediate taxation, the Election Form will be null and void and will have no further effect. NO GUARANTEE OF TAX CONSEQUENCES While the Company is pleased to be able to make the deferral opportunity described in this Prospectus Supplement available to you, the Plan does not qualify for any program under which the Internal Revenue Service would issue an advance ruling or other determination on the federal tax consequences of the Plan. The deferral of gain on the exercise of an Option is a relatively recent innovation on which the Internal Revenue Service has not issued a ruling as of the date of this Prospectus Supplement. Accordingly, the Company does not guarantee the tax consequences of the Plan or the elections made in the Election Form and as part of the Election From, you will agree to hold the Company harmless from any losses or liabilities you may incur if you do not receive the intended tax benefits of the deferral PLEASE NOTE THAT THE INCOME TAX DISCUSSION IN THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT IS ONLY A SUMMARY AND IS NOT INTENDED TO BE EXHAUSTIVE OF ALL POSSIBLE TAX CONSIDERATIONS. IN THIS REGARD, THE COMPANY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU DISCUSS SPECIFIC QUESTIONS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF TAX OR OTHER LAWS TO YOU WITH YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR. IN ADDITION, VARIOUS STATE LAWS MAY IMPOSE TAX CONSEQUENCES THAT VARY SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THOSE DESCRIBED HEREIN. THE COMPANY HAS NOT AUTHORIZED OR TRAINED ANYONE AT THE COMPANY TO ADVISE YOU REGARDING THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR AWARDS. WHOM TO CONTACT FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This document summarizes certain features of the Plan, but is not a complete description of the terms and conditions of the Plan. Any person who has been granted an Option under the Plan 2 may obtain a copy of the complete Plan, its Prospectus, or additional information concerning the Plan, by contacting Robert Masters at Acadia Realty Trust, 1311 Mamaroneck Avenue, Suite 260, White Plains, New York 10605, telephone (914) 288-8100. 3 EX-10 6 ex10-45.txt EX10-45.TXT Exhibit 10.45 ACADIA REALTY TRUST 1999 SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN 2003 SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN EXHIBIT DEFERRAL AND DISTRIBUTION ELECTION FORM Attached is an election form that you may use if you wish to defer receipt of the Shares that would otherwise be issued to you upon the exercise of Options awarded to you under the Plan, subject to the terms and conditions described on the form. You must execute and deliver a completed Deferral and Distribution Election Form as provided for in the form. An election to defer receipt of your Options may not be revoked, but will become null and void under certain circumstances listed in Section 1 of the Deferral and Distribution Election Form. You are advised to consult with your individual tax advisor with respect to the tax consequences related to your Options and any elections you may make to defer the receipt associated with exercise of your Options. ACADIA REALTY TRUST [1999] SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN [2003] SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN ---------- DEFERRAL AND DISTRIBUTION ELECTION FORM ---------- AGREEMENT ("Agreement"), made this day of , , by and between me, as a participant in the Acadia Realty Trust 1999 Share Incentive Plan and/or 2003 Share Incentive Plan (collectively, the "Plan"), and Acadia Realty Trust (the "Company"). We agree that any term that begins herein with initial capital letters shall have the special meaning defined in the Plan or the Award Agreement, unless the context clearly requires otherwise. This Agreement and the elections that I make herein shall control the treatment of the Shares I would otherwise have received upon the exercise of any Share options that I exercise during the time frame identified in Section 2 below. 1. EFFECTIVENESS OF ELECTION. I recognize and agree that every election that I make in this Deferral and Distribution Election Form will become effective -- AND IRREVOCABLE -- on the date on which I deliver this Agreement to an executive officer of the Company, other than myself. Nevertheless, this Agreement will automatically become null, void, and of no effect in the event that either - (i) my delivery of this election occurs after of (or June 30th of any subsequent year), or (ii) the Committee determines that either of the following events has occurred on or before December 31st of the current year: [ ] the trailing 20-day average price of the Company's outstanding Shares is below $13.50 on the Exercise Date that I select in Section 2 below. [ ] A change in federal tax laws either prohibits this election or would require that I recognize income before the distribution dates selected below. 2. DEFERRAL ELECTION. Subject to Section 1 above, I hereby elect to defer receipt of any Shares that would otherwise be issued to me upon my exercise of any Options during the last 15 days of the current year pursuant to my payment of the exercise price through the surrender of Shares that I have beneficially owned for at least six months prior to the Exercise Date. 3. NATURE OF DEFERRAL. I recognize and agree that, following the exercise of any stock options covered by my election in Section 2 above, the Company will establish an escrow account ("Account") for me under the Plan, and will credit the Account with share units ("Units") on a one-to-one basis with the Shares that I would otherwise receive as taxable income upon the exercise of the Options. I further recognize and agree that any Units that are credited to my Account will be non-transferable, non-assignable, and may not otherwise be disposed, pledged, or alienated in any way, will be subject to the claims of the Company's general creditors, and will represent merely an unsecured, unfunded promise of the Company to deliver Shares to me or my beneficiaries in accordance with Sections 5, 6, and 7 below. 4. DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT RIGHTS. For as long as I have an Account pursuant to this election, I understand that the Company will pay me an amount equal to any cash dividends that I would have received if I owned Shares instead of an unsecured promise in the nature of Units. 5. DISTRIBUTIONS OF MY ACCOUNT. I recognize and agree that distributions in respect of my Account will be made in the form of one unrestricted Share for each Unit credited to my Account, subject to adjustment of my Units for Changes in Capitalization, using the method set forth in the Plan for Award adjustments. I hereby elect to receive distributions from my Account in accordance with the following choices: [ ] in a single lump sum distribution as soon as practicable following the date on which my employment or service with the Company terminates, including a termination due to my retirement from the Company (such date being the cessation of my "Continuous Service"); SELECT ONE [ ] in five (5) substantially equal annual installments on each January 1st following the cessation of my Continuous Service; or [ ] in ten (10) substantially equal annual installments on each January 1st following the cessation of my Continuous Service. [ ] Notwithstanding the foregoing choices, in the event of a Change in Control, I elect to receive the full amount of my Account (or, if applicable, the remaining portion of my Account) in a lump sum, as soon as practicable following the Change in Control. 6. FORM OF DISTRIBUTION TO BENEFICIARY. In the event of my death before collecting all of my Account, any remaining portion of my Account shall be distributed to my beneficiary or beneficiaries named below in the following manner: [ ] in a single lump sum to be distributed as soon as administratively practicable following my death; or [ ] in accordance with the distribution schedule selected in Section 5 hereof (with distributions made as though I survived to collect all benefits, and as though I terminated service on the date of my death if distributions had not already begun). 2 7. DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY. In the event of my death before I have collected all of my Account, I hereby direct that my beneficiaries shall be as follows: (a) Primary Beneficiary. I hereby designate the person(s) named below to be my primary beneficiary and to receive any undistributed portion of my Account: Name of Social Security Percentage of Primary Beneficiary Number Mailing Address Death Benefit - ------------------- --------------- --------------- -------------- (b) Contingent Beneficiary. In the event that a primary beneficiary or beneficiaries named above are not living at the time of my death, I hereby designate the following person(s) to be my contingent beneficiary for purposes of the Plan with respect to any portion of my Account not previously distributed to a primary beneficiary pursuant to subsection (a) above: Name of Social Security Percentage of Contingent Beneficiary Number Mailing Address Death Benefit - ---------------------- --------------- --------------- -------------- 8. CHANGING OF DISTRIBUTION ELECTIONS. With respect to the choices made in Section 5 above, I recognize that I may, by submitting an effective superseding election, at any time either more than 90 days prior to a Change in Control or more than one year before my Continuous Service terminates for any reason, file a new election (subject to the provisions of Sections 1 and 9 hereof). In addition, I recognize that I may at any time and from time to time change the elections made in Sections 6 and 7 above, prior to my death. 9. CHANGE IN U.S. TAX LAWS. I recognize and agree that the Company may in its discretion take any actions that it considers reasonably necessary or proper to assure that any changes in the U.S. federal tax laws will not accelerate the date of my income taxation to a date before I receive Shares pursuant to my elections in this Agreement. If such taxation will occur on an accelerated basis and I have not executed such documents, if any, that the Company considers reasonably necessary or proper to avoid immediate taxation, then the Company shall distribute my Account to me. 10. SATISFACTION OF AWARD COMMITMENTS. I recognize and agree that the Committee is offering me the choices set forth above as a condition for my transfer of previously-owned Shares to the Company to pay the exercise price for Share options that I desire to exercise pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 11. HOLD HARMLESS. I recognize that (a) the tax deferral election being offered hereunder is solely an accommodation of the Company to me, (b) the Company has urged me to seek independent tax advice about the risks and benefits associated with the choices presented above, and (c) I am solely responsible and accountable for any election made above, as 3 well as any risk associated with the tax consequences of this election. Accordingly, I agree to hold the Company, its directors, officers, employees, agents harmless against any and all loss that they may incur if I bring any action, claim, or proceeding of any kind whatsoever in order to seek recovery in law or equity for any loss or other damage that I incur if this election does not have the tax consequences that I anticipate. Accordingly, I recognize and agree that the Company shall have honored and discharged its obligations under this Agreement, the Share options being exercised, and the Plan if the Company distributes my Account in accordance with the provisions hereof. WITNESSED THIS DAY OF , BY: PARTICIPANT - -------------------------------- --------------------------------------- RECEIVED AND ACCEPTED THIS ___ DAY OF _____, 200_ BY: ACADIA REALTY TRUST --------------------------------------- Name: Title: 4 EX-10 7 ex10-46.txt EX10-46.TXT Exhibit 10.46 AMENDED RESTATED AND CONSOLIDATED PROMISSORY NOTE US $15,000,000.00 August 13, 2004 WHEREAS, Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc. is the owner and holder of those certain promissory notes described on Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively, the "EXISTING NOTES"); WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Existing Notes is $15,000,000; WHEREAS, Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc., as lender, and Acadia New London, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company as borrower, wish to amend, restate and consolidate the indebtedness evidenced by the Existing Notes into a single consolidated note in the principal amount of $15,000,000.00. NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Existing Notes are hereby amended, restated and consolidated in their entirety to read as follows: FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, ACADIA NEW LOUDON, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("BORROWER"), having an address at c/o Acadia Realty Trust, 1311 Mamaroneck Avenue, White Plains, New York 10605, promises to pay GREENWICH CAPITAL FINANCIAL PRODUCTS, INC., a Delaware corporation ("LENDER"), or order, at 600 Steamboat Road, Greenwich, Connecticut 06830, or such other place as the holder hereof may designate in writing, the principal sum of FIFTEEN MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS (US$15,000,000.00) (the "Principal"), with interest on the unpaid principal balance from the date of this Note, until paid, at the rate of 5.635% per annum (the "INTEREST RATE"). This Promissory Note may be referred to herein as the "NOTE," and the loan evidenced hereby may be referred to herein as the "LOAN." 1. PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. Borrower shall pay to Lender a payment of $56,350 on the date hereof, representing interest from the date of funding through September 5, 2004. On October 6, 2004 and on each Payment Date (as defined herein) thereafter through and including August 6, 2006, Borrower shall pay to Lender interest on the unpaid Principal at the Interest Rate which has accrued from the first day through the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding such Payment Date. The Principal and the interest thereon at the Interest Rate shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lender in consecutive monthly installments, each in the amount of $86,443.19 (the "MONTHLY DEBT SERVICE PAYMENT AMOUNT") beginning on September 6, 2006 (herein "AMORTIZATION COMMENCEMENT DATE") and on each Payment Date thereafter until the entire indebtedness evidenced hereby is fully paid, except that any remaining indebtedness, if not sooner paid, shall be due and payable on September 6, 2014 (the "MATURITY DATE"). Interest on the principal sum of this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year, and shall be charged based on the actual number of days during each month or other applicable accrual period. Interest on this Note shall be paid in arrears. The undersigned shall pay the holder hereof, in advance, on the date hereof, interest only on the outstanding principal balance of this Note, at the interest rate first mentioned above, from the date hereof through and including the last day of the calendar month in which this Note is executed. The Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount due on any Payment Date shall first be applied to the payment of interest accrued during the preceding accrual period and the remainder of such Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid Principal. All accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. If the Loan is repaid on any date other than on a Payment Date (whether prior to or after the Maturity Date), Borrower shall also pay interest that would have accrued on such repaid Principal to but not including the next Payment Date. Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal balance of this Note in full on the Maturity Date, together with interest thereon to (but excluding) the date of repayment and any other amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents (as defined herein). As used herein, the term "PAYMENT DATE" shall mean the sixth (6th) day of each calendar month or, upon Lender's exercise of its right to change the Payment Date in accordance with this paragraph, the New Payment Date (in either case, if such day is not a Business Day, the Payment Date shall be the first Business Day thereafter). The first Payment Date hereunder shall be October 6, 2004. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have the right, to be exercised not more than once during the term of the Loan, to change the Payment Date to a date other than the first day of each month (a "NEW PAYMENT DATE"), on 30 days' written notice to Borrower; provided, however, that any such change in the Payment Date: (i) shall not modify the amount of regularly scheduled monthly principal and interest payments, except that the first payment of principal and interest payable on the New Payment Date shall be accompanied by interest at the interest rate herein provided for the period from the Payment Date in the month in which the New Payment Date first occurs to the New Payment Date, and (ii) shall extend the Maturity Date to the New Payment Date occurring in the month set forth in the definition of Maturity Date. 2. SECURITY; LOAN DOCUMENTS. The indebtedness evidenced by this Note is secured by, among other things, that certain Amended, Restated and Consolidated Mortgage, Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement of even date herewith (the "INSTRUMENT"), executed by Borrower, encumbering real property more particularly described therein (the "PROPERTY"), and reference is made thereto for rights as to acceleration of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note.

Upon compliance with the requirements of Section A above, Lender shall cause the Property to be released from the lien of the Instrument, the obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property shall no longer be applicable, the balance of each Subaccount shall be disbursed to Borrower and the Defeasance Deposit shall be the sole source of collateral securing this Note. Lender shall apply the Defeasance Deposit and the payments received therefrom to the payment of all scheduled principal and interest payments due on all successive payment dates under this Note after the Defeasance Election Date and the payment due on the maturity date specified in this Note (the "SCHEDULED DEFEASANCE PAYMENTS"). Borrower, pursuant to the Defeasance Security Agreement or other appropriate document, shall direct that the payments received from the Defeasance Deposit shall be made directly to Lender and applied to satisfy the obligations of Borrower under this Note. C. If, after the Defeasance, Borrower will own any assets other than the Defeasance Deposit, Borrower shall establish or designate a single-purpose, bankruptcy-remote 4 successor entity acceptable to Lender (the "SUCCESSOR BORROWER"), with respect to which a non-consolidation opinion satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and any applicable rating agencies shall be delivered to Lender and such rating agencies (if such a non-consolidation opinion was required of Borrower in connection with the origination of the indebtedness secured hereby) in which case Borrower shall transfer and assign to the Successor Borrower all obligations, rights and duties under this Note and the Defeasance Security Agreement, together with the pledged Defeasance Deposit. The Successor Borrower shall assume the obligations of Borrower under this Note and the Defeasance Security Agreement, and Borrower shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder and thereunder. Borrower shall pay not less than $1,000 to the Successor Borrower as consideration for assuming such Borrower obligations. D. As used herein, the term "U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES" shall mean securities that are (i) direct obligations of the United States of America for the full and timely payment of which its full faith and credit is pledged or (ii) obligations of an entity controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality and guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation which shall be fully and timely paid by the United States of America, which in either case are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof (including a depository receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the United States Securities Act)) as custodian with respect to any such U.S. Government Securities or a specific payment of principal of or interest on any such U.S. Government Securities held by such custodian for the account of the holder of such depository receipt, provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the securities or the specific payment of principal of or interest on the securities evidenced by such depository receipt. E. If, after payment in full of all obligations evidenced by this Note or any other of the Loan Documents, any of the Defeasance Deposit remains, then on request by Borrower such remaining balance of the Defeasance Deposit shall be returned to Borrower (or to the Successor Borrower, as the case may be). 4. PREPAYMENT; PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATION. If any prepayment of all or any portion of the principal balance hereunder occurs, whether in connection with Lender's acceleration of the unpaid principal balance of this Note or in any other circumstances whatsoever, or if the Instrument is satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of sale or judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means, then Borrower shall therewith pay the Prepayment Consideration. The foregoing shall not create any right of prepayment. Borrower shall have no right whatsoever to prepay all or any portion of the principal balance of this Note, except only as follows: (i) Borrower shall have the right to prepay and shall not be required to pay any Prepayment Consideration with respect to prepayment required by Lender pursuant to the Instrument as a result of the application of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards under the Instrument or as a result of prepayment of the entire principal balance of this Note remaining due after the application of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards under the Instrument, provided that such prepayment of the entire principal balance of this Note remaining due is made within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of such application; and 5 (ii) Further, provided Borrower is not in default hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents and provides not less than 30 days' prior written notice, Borrower shall have the right to pay all (but not less than all) obligations then outstanding under the Loan Documents, including the prepayment of all principal, from and after the Permitted Prepayment Date. In such case, there shall be no Prepayment Consideration due, except that if any such prepayment occurs on any day other than a Payment Date, then in addition to the prepayment amount Borrower also shall pay to Lender the amount of interest that would have accrued under the Note on the amount being prepaid from and including the prepayment date to the next Payment Date. The "PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATION" shall be the amount equal to the greater of (i) two percent of the Loan balance at the time of prepayment, or (ii) the sum of one percent of the Loan balance at the time of prepayment, plus the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of the monthly interest which would otherwise be payable on the principal balance being prepaid from the date of the first day of the calendar month immediately following the date of prepayment (unless prepayment is tendered on the first day of any calendar month during the term of this Note, in which case from the date of prepayment) to and including the Maturity Date; over (B) the amount of the monthly interest the Lender would earn if the principal balance being prepaid were reinvested for the period from the first day of the calendar month immediately following the date of prepayment (unless prepayment is tendered on the first day of any calendar month during the term of this Note, in which case from the date of prepayment) to and including the Maturity Date at the Treasury Rate (as hereinafter defined), such difference to be discounted to present value at the Treasury Rate. The "TREASURY RATE" shall be the annualized yield on securities issued by the United States Treasury having a maturity corresponding to the remaining term to the originally scheduled Maturity Date of this Note, as quoted in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H. 15(519) under the heading "U.S. Government Securities - Treasury Constant Maturities" for the Treasury Rate Determination Date (as defined below), converted to a monthly equivalent yield. If yields for such securities of such maturity are not shown in such publication, then the Treasury Rate shall be determined by Lender by linear interpolation between the yields of securities of the next longer and next shorter maturities. If said Federal Reserve Statistical Release or any other information necessary for determination of the Treasury Rate in accordance with the foregoing is no longer published or is otherwise unavailable, then the Treasury Rate shall be reasonably determined by Lender based on comparable data. The term "TREASURY RATE DETERMINATION DATE" shall mean the date which is five banking days prior to the scheduled prepayment date. Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount and the basis of determination of the required Prepayment Consideration.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT; ACCELERATION. The following shall constitute an "EVENT OF DEFAULT" hereunder: (i) if any installment under this Note is not paid when due, or (ii) if any condition or event occurs as a consequence of which the holder hereof then has the right to accelerate the indebtedness hereunder pursuant to any of the other Loan Documents. Upon and at any time following the occurrence of any Event of Default, then at the option of the holder hereof and without notice, the entire principal amount and all interest accrued and outstanding hereunder and all other amounts outstanding under any of the Loan Documents shall at once become due and payable, and the holder hereof may exercise any and all of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents or pursuant to applicable law. The holder hereof may so accelerate such obligations and exercise such remedies at any time after the occurrence of any Event of Default, regardless of any prior forbearance. 6. LATE CHARGES; ADDITIONAL INTEREST ON DEFAULT. If any installment under this Note or any other amount owing hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents is not received by the holder hereof within five days after the same is due, then the undersigned shall pay to the holder hereof a late charge of the lesser of (a) five percent of such installment and (b) the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, such late charge to be immediately due and payable without demand by the holder hereof. In addition, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest at the rate of five percent per annum in excess of the rate provided in the first paragraph of this Note, or, if such increased rate of interest may not be collected from the undersigned under applicable law, then at the maximum increased rate of interest which may be collected from the undersigned under applicable law (the "DEFAULT RATE"). 7 Borrower agrees that such late charge and increased interest are reasonable and do not constitute a penalty. 7. LAWFUL INTEREST. The parties hereto intend to conform strictly to the applicable usury laws. In no event, whether by reason of demand for payment, prepayment, acceleration of the maturity hereof or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by the holder hereof hereunder or otherwise exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstance whatsoever interest would otherwise be payable to the holder hereof in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to the holder hereof shall be reduced automatically to the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. If the holder hereof shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest under applicable law which would apart from this provision be in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any amount which would have been excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing hereunder in the inverse order of its maturity and not to the payment of interest, or if such amount which would have been excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal hereof, such excess shall be refunded to the undersigned. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the holder hereof shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term (including any renewal or extension) of such indebtedness so that the amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the maximum permitted by applicable law. The provisions of this paragraph shall control all existing and future agreements between the undersigned and the holder hereof. 8. CERTAIN RIGHTS AND WAIVERS. From time to time, without affecting the obligation of the undersigned or the successors or assigns of the undersigned to pay the outstanding principal balance of this Note and observe the covenants of the undersigned contained herein, in the Instrument or in any other Loan Document without affecting the guaranty of any person or entity for payment of the outstanding principal balance of this Note, without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of the undersigned, the successors or assigns of the undersigned or guarantors, and without liability on the part of the holder hereof, the holder hereof may, at the option of the holder hereof, extend the time for payment of said outstanding principal balance or any part thereof, reduce the payments thereon, release anyone liable on any of said outstanding principal balance, accept a renewal of this Note, modify the terms and time of payment of said outstanding principal balance, join in any extension or subordination agreement, release any security given herefor, take or release other or additional security, and agree in writing with the undersigned to modify the rate of interest or period of amortization of this Note or change the amount of the monthly installments payable hereunder.

Such policy shall be in an amount not less than that necessary to comply with any coinsurance percentage stipulated in the policy, but not less than the lesser of 100% of the full replacement cost of the improvements on the Property (without any deduction for depreciation) or the unpaid principal amount of the loan evidenced by the Note, and shall contain a replacement cost endorsement. The deductible under such policy, if any, shall not exceed the lesser of five percent (5%) of Net Operating Income or $50,000. Further, if any of the improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time constitute legal nonconforming structures or uses under current zoning ordinances, such policy shall contain an "Ordinance or Law Coverage" or "Enforcement" endorsement providing coverage for demolition, increased cost of construction and inability to rebuild. (b) Broad form boiler and machinery insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of 100% of the full replacement cost of the building (without any deduction for depreciation) in which the boiler or similar vessel is located, or $2,000,000. In addition, Lender may require a rider to such policy to extend such coverage to electrical machinery and equipment, air conditioning, refrigeration, and mechanical objects. (c) If the Property is in an area prone to geological phenomena, including, but not limited to, sinkholes, mine subsidence or earthquakes, insurance covering such risks in an amount equal to 100% of the full replacement cost of the improvements on the Property (without any deduction for depreciation), and with a maximum permissible deductible equal to the lesser of $25,000 or 10% of the face value of the policy. (d) Flood insurance if the Property is in an area now or hereafter designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a Zone "A" & "V" Special Hazard Area, or such other Special Hazard Area if Lender so requires in its sole discretion. Such policy shall be in an amount equal to 100% of the full replacement cost of the improvements on the Property (without any deduction for depreciation), and shall have a maximum permissible deductible of $3,000. 5 (e) Business interruption or rent loss insurance in an amount equal to the gross income or rentals from the Property for an indemnity period of eighteen months, such amount being adjusted annually. (f) During any period of reconstruction, renovation or alteration of the Property in excess of 10% of the Note, a completed value, "All Risks" Builders Risk form or "Course of Construction" insurance policy in non-reporting form and in an amount satisfactory to Lender in Lender's sole discretion. (g) Commercial General Liability insurance covering bodily injury and death in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate with no deductible, together with at least $25,000,000 excess and/or umbrella liability insurance for any and all claims. If Lender permits such liability coverage to be written on a blanket basis, then such policy shall provide that the aggregate limit of insurance applies separately to the Property. (h) If required by applicable state laws, worker's compensation or employer's liability insurance in accordance with such laws. (i) Notwithstanding anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary, Borrower shall be required to obtain and maintain coverage in its property insurance policy (or by a separate policy) against loss or damage by terrorist acts provided that such coverage is available. Borrower shall obtain such coverage from a carrier which otherwise satisfies the rating criteria specified in this Section 5 (a "QUALIFIED CARRIER") or in the event that such coverage is not available from a Qualified Carrier, Borrower shall obtain such coverage from the highest rated insurance company providing such coverage. If such coverage with respect to terrorist acts is available as aforesaid, Borrower shall obtain and maintain such coverage in an amount equal to 100% of the "Full Replacement Cost" of the Property. (j) Such other insurance and endorsements, if any, as Lender may reasonably require from time to time, or which are required by the Loan Documents. Each carrier providing any insurance, or portion thereof, required by this Section shall be issued by companies approved by Lender and licensed to do business in the State, with a claims paying ability rating of "AA" or better by S&P (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency) and a rating of A:X or better in the current Best's Insurance Reports; provided, that, the liability insurance required under paragraph (g) of this Section shall be issued by companies approved by Lender and licensed to do business in the State, with a claims paying ability rating of "A+" or better by S&P (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency) and a rating of A:X or better in the current Best's Insurance Reports. Borrower shall cause all insurance (except general public liability insurance) carried in accordance with this Section to be payable to Lender as a mortgagee and not as a coinsured, and, in the case of all policies of insurance carried by each lessee for the benefit of Borrower, if any, to cause all such policies to be payable to Lender as Lender's interest may appear. All premiums on insurance policies shall be paid, in the manner provided under Section 25(d) hereof, or in such other manner as Lender may designate in writing. 6 All insurance policies and renewals thereof (i) shall be in a form acceptable to Lender, (ii) shall provide for a term of not less than one year, (iii) shall provide by way of endorsement, rider or otherwise that such insurance policy shall not be canceled, endorsed, altered, or reissued to effect a change in coverage unless such insurer shall have first given Lender 30 days prior written notice thereof, (iv) shall include a standard mortgagee clause in favor of and in form acceptable to Lender, (v) shall provide for claims to be made on an occurrence basis, except that boiler and machinery coverage may be made on an accident basis, and (vi) shall contain an agreed value clause updated annually (if the amount of coverage under such policy is based upon the replacement cost of the Property). All property damage insurance policies (except for flood and earthquake policies) must automatically reinstate after each loss. Any blanket insurance policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate "stand-alone" policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of this Section 5. Lender shall have the right to hold the policies, and Borrower shall promptly furnish to Lender all renewal notices and all receipts of paid premiums. Not less than five (5) days prior to the expiration date of any insurance policy required hereunder, a certificate of insurance evidencing the renewal of such policy, together with evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment in full of the annual premium therefor, shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender. Not more than forty-five (45) days after to the expiration date of any insurance policy required hereunder, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a renewal insurance policy in form satisfactory to Lender. If the Property is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a "CASUALTY"), Borrower shall give immediate written notice thereof to Lender and to the insurance carrier. If a Casualty covered by any of the policies of insurance (an "INSURED CASUALTY") occurs where the loss does not exceed $1,000,000, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may settle and adjust any claim without the prior consent of Lender; provided such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, and Borrower is hereby authorized to collect and receipt for the insurance proceeds. In the event of an Insured Casualty where the loss equals or exceeds $1,000,000 (a "SIGNIFICANT CASUALTY"), Borrower may settle and adjust any claim with the prior consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in which case Lender may settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Borrower and agree with the insurer(s) on the amount to be paid on the loss, which settlement and adjustment shall be in Lender's sole and absolute discretion. The proceeds with respect to any Significant Casualty shall be due and payable solely to Lender and held by Lender in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and disbursed in accordance herewith. If Borrower or any party other than Lender is a payee on any check representing insurance proceeds with respect to a Significant Casualty, Borrower shall immediately endorse, and cause all such third parties to endorse, such check payable to the order of Lender. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to endorse such check payable to the order of Lender. Borrower further authorizes Lender, at Lender's option, (a) to hold the balance of such proceeds with respect to any Significant Casualty to be used to reimburse Borrower for the cost of reconstruction or repair of the Property or (b) subject to the immediately following paragraph, to apply such proceeds to the payment of the sums secured by this Instrument whether or not then 7 due, in any order. The expenses incurred by Lender in the settlement, adjustment and collection of any insurance proceeds shall become part of the Debt and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand. Lender shall not exercise Lender's option to apply insurance proceeds to the payment of the sums secured by this Instrument if all of the following conditions are met: (i) no Event of Default has occurred which is then continuing; (ii) Lender determines that there will be sufficient funds to restore and repair the Property to the Pre-existing Condition (as hereinafter defined); (iii) Lender agrees in writing that the rental income of the Property, after restoration and repair of the Property to the Pre-existing Condition, will be sufficient to meet all operating costs and other expenses, payments for reserves and loan repayment obligations (including any obligations under any permitted subordinate financing) relating to the Property and maintain a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.0; (iv) Lender determines that restoration and repair of the Property to the Pre-existing Condition will be completed within one year of the date of the loss or casualty to the Property, but in no event later than six months prior to the Maturity Date; (v) less than 30 percent of the total floor area of the improvements has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such fire or other casualty; (vi) tenant leases demising in the aggregate at least 65% of the total rentable space at the Property in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such fire or other casualty remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the restoration and repair of the Property; and (vii) Lender is reasonably satisfied that the Property can be restored and repaired as nearly as possible to the condition it was in immediately prior to such casualty and in compliance with all applicable zoning, building and other laws and codes (the "PRE-EXISTING CONDITION"). If Lender elects to make the insurance proceeds available for the restoration and repair of the Property, Borrower agrees that, if at any time during the restoration and repair, the cost of completing such restoration and repair, as determined by Lender, exceeds the undisbursed insurance proceeds, Borrower shall, immediately upon demand by Lender, deposit the amount of such excess with Lender, and Lender shall first disburse such deposit to pay for the costs of such restoration and repair on the same terms and conditions as the insurance proceeds are disbursed. If the insurance proceeds are held by Lender to reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoration and repair of the Property, then Borrower shall restore the Property to the equivalent of its original condition or such other condition as Lender may approve in writing, and Borrower shall promptly begin such restoration and at all times thereafter diligently prosecute such restoration to completion. Lender may, at Lender's option, condition disbursement of said proceeds on Lender's approval of such plans and specifications of an architect satisfactory to Lender, contractor's cost estimates, architect's certificates, waivers of liens, sworn statements of mechanics and materialmen and such other evidence of costs, percentage completion of construction, application of payments; and satisfaction of liens as Lender may reasonably require. If the insurance proceeds are applied to the payment of the sums secured by this Instrument, any such application of proceeds to principal shall not extend or postpone the due dates of the monthly installments due under the Note, under Section 25(d) hereof, or otherwise under the Loan Documents, or change the amounts of such installments. If the Property is sold at foreclosure or pursuant to power of sale or if Lender acquires title to the Property, Lender shall have all of the right, title and interest of Borrower in and to any insurance policies and unearned premiums thereon and in and to the proceeds resulting from any damage to the Property prior to such sale or acquisition. 8 SECTION 6. PRESERVATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY. Borrower (a) shall not commit waste or permit impairment or deterioration of the Property, (b) shall not abandon the Property, (c) shall restore or repair promptly and in a good and workmanlike manner all or any part of the Property to the equivalent of its original condition, or such other condition as Lender may approve in writing, in the event of any damage, injury or loss thereto, whether or not insurance proceeds are available to cover in whole or in part the costs of such restoration or repair, (d) shall keep the Property, including improvements, fixtures, equipment, machinery and appliances thereon in good repair and shall replace fixtures, equipment, machinery and appliances on the Property when necessary to keep such items in good repair, (e) shall comply with all laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements of any governmental body applicable to the Property, (f) shall provide for management of the Property by Acadia Realty Limited Partnership, or otherwise provide for professional third-party management of the Property by a commercial property manager with substantial experience in managing properties of the applicable kind, and otherwise satisfactory to Lender, pursuant to a contract approved by Lender in writing, unless such requirement shall be waived by Lender in writing, (g) shall generally operate and maintain the Property in a manner to ensure maximum rentals, and (h) shall give notice in writing to Lender of and, unless otherwise directed in writing by Lender, appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the Property, the security of this Instrument or the rights or powers of Lender. Neither Borrower nor any tenant or other person shall remove, demolish or alter any improvement now existing or hereafter erected on the Property or any fixture, equipment, machinery or appliance in or on the Property except when incident to the replacement of fixtures, equipment, machinery and appliances with items of like kind. SECTION 7. USE OF PROPERTY. Unless required by applicable law or unless Lender has otherwise agreed in writing, Borrower shall not allow changes in the use for which all or any part of the Property was intended at the time this Instrument was executed. Borrower shall not subdivide the Property or initiate or acquiesce in a change in the zoning classification of the Property without Lender's prior written consent. SECTION 8. PROTECTION OF LENDER'S SECURITY. If Borrower fails to perform the covenants and agreements contained in this Instrument, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which affects the Property or title thereto or the interest of Lender therein, including, but not limited to, eminent domain, insolvency, code enforcement, or arrangements or proceedings involving a bankrupt or decedent, Lender, at Lender's option, may make such appearances, disburse such sums and take such action as Lender deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to protect Lender's interest, including, but not limited to, (i) disbursement of attorney's fees, (ii) entry upon the Property to make repairs, (iii) procurement of satisfactory insurance as provided herein, (iv) the payment of any Taxes then due and payable, and (v) payment of any other amounts contemplated in any of the Loan Documents. Any amounts disbursed by Lender pursuant to this Section, with interest thereon, shall become additional indebtedness of Borrower secured by this Instrument. Unless Borrower and Lender agree to other terms of payment, such amounts shall be immediately due and payable upon demand and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the rate then applicable to principal under the Note unless collection from Borrower of interest at such rate would be contrary to applicable law, in which event such amounts shall bear interest at the highest rate which may be collected 9 from Borrower under applicable law. Nothing contained in this Section or elsewhere in any of the Loan Documents shall require Lender to incur any expense or take any action hereunder. SECTION 9. INSPECTION. Lender may make or cause to be made reasonable entries upon and inspections of the Property including, but not limited to, Phase I and/or Phase II environmental audits and inspections. SECTION 10. BOOKS AND RECORDS. Borrower shall keep and maintain at all times at Borrower's address stated herein, or such other place as Lender may approve in writing, complete and accurate books of accounts and records adequate to reflect correctly the results of the operation of the Property and copies of all written contracts, leases and other instruments which affect the Property. Such books, records, contracts, leases and other instruments shall be subject to examination and inspection at any reasonable time by Lender. Borrower shall furnish to Lender annually, within 120 days after each calendar year, a complete copy of Borrower's annual financial statements prepared as a compilation (without a review and without disclosures) by a "big four" accounting firm or another independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Lender, each in accordance with GAAP or a federal income tax basis of accounting, in either case, consistently applied, and containing balance sheets and statements of profit and loss for Borrower and the Property in such detail as Lender may reasonably request. Each such statement (x) shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, (y) shall set forth the financial condition and the income and expenses for the Property for the immediately preceding calendar year, including statements of annual Net Operating Income as well as (1) a list of commercial tenants, if any, occupying more than twenty percent of the rentable space of the Property, (2) a breakdown showing (a) the year in which each commercial Lease then in effect expires, and (b) the percentage of rentable space covered by such commercial Lease as stated in such Lease, and (z) shall be accompanied by an Officer's Certificate (as defined in Section 25 hereof) certifying (1) that such statement is true, correct, complete and accurate and presents fairly the financial condition of the Property and has been prepared in accordance with GAAP or a federal income tax basis of accounting, in either case, consistently applied, and (2) whether there exists an Event of Default, and if so, the nature thereof, the period of time it has existed and the action then being taken to remedy it. On or before the 45th day after the end of each three-month fiscal quarter of Borrower (which may include months for which reports shall have been submitted under the prior sentence), Borrower shall deliver to Lender management prepared financial statements for such quarter. Each set of such financial statements (i) shall consist of an operating statement of income and expenses of the Property, (ii) shall be in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to Lender and (iii) shall be accompanied by an Officer's Certificate certifying that the applicable statements are true, complete, and accurate and do not omit to state any material information. All of such financial statements shall provide information for the applicable month or quarter and on a year-to-date basis (and at the end of the fourth quarter, for the year). Borrower shall furnish, together with the foregoing financial statements and at any other time upon Lender's request, a rent schedule for the Property, certified by Borrower, showing the name of each tenant, and for each tenant, the space occupied, the lease expiration date, the rent payable and the rent paid. 10 In addition to the above delivery of financial statements and rent schedule, Borrower shall deliver to Lender updated versions of such financial statements at any other time upon Lender's request, including operating statements of income and expenses of the Property. Borrower shall also furnish to Lender, during any Cash Management Period, the Annual Budget in accordance with Section 28(h) of this Instrument. Further, Borrower shall provide to Lender, as soon as the same are available to Borrower, all financial statements and sales reports received from any tenant at the Property. SECTION 11. CONDEMNATION. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding affecting the Property (a "CONDEMNATION") and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower, regardless of whether an Award is available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character (and to have the same utility) as prior to such Condemnation. If a Condemnation occurs where the award or payment in respect thereof (an "AWARD") does not exceed $500,000 or which results in the taking of 5% or less of the Property, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with such Condemnation without the prior consent of Lender; provided such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, and Borrower is hereby authorized to collect and receipt for the Award. In the event of a Condemnation where the Award is in excess of $500,000 or which results in the taking of more than 5% of the Property, Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower's attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any Award and, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, with Borrower's consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with such Condemnation. Borrower shall cause any Award that is payable to Borrower to be paid directly to Lender. Lender shall hold such Award in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and disburse such Award in accordance with the terms hereof. Borrower authorizes Lender to apply such Award, after the deduction of Lender's expenses incurred in the collection of such amounts, at Lender's option, to restoration or repair of the Property or to payment of the sums secured by this Instrument, whether or not then due, in the order determined by Lender, with the balance, if any, to Borrower. Unless Borrower and Lender otherwise agree in writing, any application of proceeds to principal shall not extend or postpone the due date of the monthly installments due hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents or change the amount of such installments. Borrower agrees to execute such further evidence of assignment of any awards, proceeds, damages or claims arising in connection with such condemnation or taking as Lender may require. SECTION 12. BORROWER AND LIEN NOT RELEASED. From time to time, Lender may, at Lender's option, without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of Borrower, Borrower's successors or assigns or of any junior lienholder or guarantors, without liability on Lender's part and notwithstanding Borrower's breach of any covenant or agreement of Borrower in this Instrument, extend the time for payment of said indebtedness or any part thereof, reduce the payments thereon, release anyone liable on any of said indebtedness, accept a renewal note or 11 notes therefor, modify the terms and time of payment of said indebtedness, release from the lien of this Instrument any part of the Property, take or release other or additional security, reconvey any part of the Property, consent to any map or plan of the Property, consent to the granting of any easement, join in any extension or subordination agreement, and agree in writing with Borrower to modify the rate of interest or period of amortization of the Note or change the amount of the monthly installments payable thereunder. Any actions taken by Lender pursuant to the terms of this Section shall not affect the obligation of Borrower or Borrower's successors or assigns to pay the sums secured by this Instrument and to observe the covenants of Borrower contained herein, shall not affect the guaranty of any person, corporation, partnership or other entity for payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, and shall not affect the lien or priority of lien hereof on the Property. Borrower shall pay Lender a reasonable service charge, together with such title insurance premiums and attorney's fees as may be incurred at Lender's option, for any such action if taken at Borrower's request. SECTION 13. UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Instrument is intended to be a security agreement pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code for any of the items specified above as part of the Collateral which, under applicable law, may be subject to a security interest pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code, and Borrower hereby grants Lender a security interest in said items. Borrower agrees that Lender may file this Instrument, or a reproduction thereof, in the real estate records or other appropriate index, as a financing statement for any of the items specified above as part of the Collateral. Any reproduction of this Instrument or of any other security agreement or financing statement shall be sufficient as a financing statement. In addition, Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to Lender, upon Lender's request, any financing statements, as well as extensions, renewals and amendments thereof, and reproductions of this Instrument in such form as Lender may require to perfect a security interest with respect to said items. Borrower shall pay all costs of filing such financing statements and any extensions, renewals, amendments and releases thereof, and shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of any record searches for financing statements Lender may reasonably require. Without the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not create or suffer to be created pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code any other security interest in said items, including replacements and additions thereto. Upon Borrower's breach of any covenant or agreement of Borrower contained in this Instrument, including the covenants to pay when due all sums secured by this Instrument, Lender shall have the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and, at Lender's option, may also invoke the remedies provided herein or in any of the Loan Documents, or pursuant to any applicable law as to such items. In exercising any of said remedies, Lender may proceed against the items of real property and any items of personal property specified above as part of the Collateral separately or together and in any order whatsoever, without in any way affecting the availability of Lender's remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code or of the remedies provided herein or in any of the Loan Documents. For purposes of the Security Agreement and the fixture filing, the Borrower shall constitute the "DEBTOR" and shall have the address specified in the first paragraph of this Instrument and the Lender shall constitute the "SECURITY PARTY" and shall have the address specified in the first paragraph of this Instrument. SECTION 14. LEASES OF THE PROPERTY. Borrower shall comply with and observe Borrower's obligations as landlord under all leases of the Property or any part thereof. Borrower will not lease any portion of the Property for any use contrary to the existing character 12 of the Property except with the prior written approval of Lender. Borrower may execute or modify, without Lender's prior written consent, any lease of space at the Property now existing or hereafter made which affects less than 20,000 square feet of space at the Property and provided the term of such lease is less than five years (an "EXEMPT LEASE") provided such lease: (i) is on a standard lease form pre-approved by Lender; (ii) is at a net effective rent (after taking into account any free rent, construction allowances or other concessions granted by landlord) no less than the current actual rent or fair market rent then prevailing for similar properties and leases in the market area; (iii) contains rent or other concessions which are legally required or are otherwise customary and reasonable for similar properties and leases in the market area; (iv) represents a bona fide arm's length transaction; (v) does not permit any use which would violate any provision of any existing lease or is otherwise inconsistent with the uses and quality of existing tenants; (vi) is provided to Lender within ten days after execution; (vii) as modified or amended does not become a lease which fails to satisfy the criteria for an Exempt Lease pursuant to this Section; (viii) as modified or amended does not materially modify the financial terms of Borrower's standard form of lease or materially reduce the rights and remedies of the Borrower or Lender under said standard lease; (ix) is subordinate by its terms to this Instrument provided that Lender shall have agreed to provide such tenant with a non-disturbance agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender; provides that the tenant thereunder is required to attorn to Lender, such attornment to be effective upon Lender's acquisition of title to the Property; that the tenant agrees to execute such further evidences of attornment as Lender may from time to time request; that the attornment of the tenant shall not be terminated by foreclosure; that in no event shall Lender, as holder of this Instrument or as successor landlord, be liable to the tenant for any act or omission of any prior landlord or for any liability or obligation of any prior landlord occurring prior to the date that Lender or any subsequent owner acquire title to the Property; and that Lender may, at Lender's option, accept or reject such attornment. Borrower shall be required to obtain Lender's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, for the creation of any lease and subleases at the Property other than an Exempt Lease. The request for approval of each such proposed lease shall be made to Lender in writing and Borrower shall furnish to Lender (and any loan servicer specified from time to time by Lender): (i) such biographical and financial information about the proposed tenant as Lender may reasonably require in conjunction with its review, (ii) a copy of the proposed form of lease, and (iii) a summary of the material terms of such proposed lease (including, without limitation, rental terms and the term of the proposed lease and any options). Lender's failure to approve or 13 disapprove any such lease or sublease within ten (10) Business Days after Lender's receipt of such request shall be deemed to constitute Lender's approval thereof. As to all leases other than Exempt Leases, Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), (i) cancel, amend or modify any such lease, (ii) approve any assignment, sublease or underlease of any such lease, or (iii) cancel or modify any guaranty, or release any security deposit or letter of credit constituting security pertaining to any such lease. Lender's failure to approve or disapprove any of the matters described in the preceding sentence within ten (10) Business Days after Lender's receipt of such request shall be deemed to constitute Lender's approval thereof. Borrower shall promptly send Lender copies of any notices of default received from the tenant under any lease; and will enforce (short of terminating such lease) the performance by the tenant of the tenant's obligations under any lease. Except for security deposits, no lease, whether an Exempt Lease or otherwise, shall provide for payment of rent more than one month in advance, and Borrower shall not under any circumstances collect any such rent more than one month in advance. Borrower, at Lender's request, shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all leases hereafter made of all or any part of the Property, and all leases hereafter entered into (other than Exempt Leases) will be in form and substance subject to the approval of Lender. All leases of the Property or a separate agreement in recordable form and substance satisfactory to Lender shall specifically provide that such leases are subordinate to this Instrument; that the tenant attorns to Lender, such attornment to be effective upon Lender's acquisition of title to the Property; that the tenant agrees to execute such further evidences of attornment as Lender may from time to time request; that the attornment of the tenant shall not be terminated by foreclosure; that in no event shall Lender, as holder of this Instrument or as successor landlord, be liable to the tenant for any act or omission of any prior landlord or for any liability or obligation of any prior landlord occurring prior to the date that Lender or any subsequent owner acquire title to the Property; and that Lender may, at Lender's option, accept or reject such attornment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender agrees to enter into a non-disturbance agreement with any tenant at the Property, which agreement shall be in form and substance and on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Lender. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, Borrower shall not, without Lender's written consent, (1) execute, modify, surrender or terminate, either orally or in writing, any lease at the Property now existing or hereafter made of all or any part of the Property, (2) permit an assignment or sublease of a lease, or (3) request or consent to the subordination of any lease of all or any part of the Property to any lien subordinate to this Instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing and provided that no Event of Default is continuing, , Borrower may, without Lender's consent, terminate a Lease which covers less than 22,000 rentable square feet provided that (i) the tenant under such Lease is in default under such Lease and (ii) Borrower shall give Lender not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice specifying the date on which Borrower will terminate such Lease. If Borrower becomes aware that any tenant proposes to do, or is doing, any act or thing which may give rise to any right of set-off against rent, Borrower shall (i) take such steps as shall be reasonably calculated to prevent the accrual of any right to a set-off against rent, (ii) notify Lender thereof and of the amount of said set-offs, and (iii) within ten days after such accrual, reimburse the tenant who shall have 14 acquired such right to set-off or take such other steps as shall effectively discharge such set-off and as shall assure that rents thereafter due shall continue to be payable without set-off or deduction. Upon Lender's request, Borrower shall absolutely assign to Lender, by written instrument satisfactory to Lender, all leases now existing or hereafter made of all or any part of the Property and all security deposits made by tenants in connection with such leases of the Property. Upon assignment by Borrower to Lender of any leases of the Property, Lender shall have all of the rights and powers possessed by Borrower prior to such assignment and Lender shall have the right to modify, extend or terminate such existing leases and to execute new leases, in Lender's sole discretion. SECTION 15. TRANSFERS OF THE PROPERTY OR BENEFICIAL INTERESTS IN BORROWER. (a) As used in this Section 15 and elsewhere in this Instrument, the following capitalized terms shall have the respective meanings set forth below: (i) "CONTROL": with respect to any Person, either (i) ownership directly or indirectly of 49% or more of all equity interests in such Person or (ii) the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

(iii) "PERMITTED ENCUMBRANCES": (i) the liens created by the Loan Documents, (ii) all liens and other matters disclosed in Lender's title insurance policy, (iii) liens, if any, for Taxes not yet due and payable and not delinquent and (iv) any workers', mechanics' or other similar liens on the Property provided that any such Lien is bonded or discharged within 30 days after Borrower first receives notice of such lien and (v) such other title and survey exceptions as Lender approves in writing in Lender's discretion. (iv) "PERMITTED TRANSFERS": (i) a Lease entered into in accordance with the Loan Documents, (ii) a Permitted Encumbrance, (iii) a Transfer and Assumption, (iv) provided that no Event of Default shall

In addition to any other indemnification obligation set forth elsewhere in the Loan Documents, Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the Lender and its shareholders, directors, officers, agents, employees, contractors, attorneys, servicers, and successors and assigns (the "INDEMNIFIED PARTIES") from and against any and all claims, suits, liabilities (including, without limitation, strict liabilities), actions, proceedings, obligations, debts, damages, losses, costs, expenses, diminutions in value, fines, penalties, charges, fees, expenses, judgments, awards, amounts paid in settlement, or punitive damages, of whatever kind or nature (including, but not limited to attorneys' fees and other costs of defense) (the "LOSSES") imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Parties and directly or indirectly arising out of or in any way relating to any one or more of the following (but excluding Losses arising out of Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct): (a) ownership of this Instrument or any of the Loan Documents, or ownership of the Property or any interest therein, or demand for or receipt of any Rents; (b) any amendment to, or restructuring of, any of the Loan Documents or the obligations evidenced or secured thereby; (c) any and all lawful action that may be taken by Lender in connection with the enforcement of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents, whether or not suit is filed in connection with same, or in connection with Borrower, any guarantor or indemnitor and/or any member, partner, joint venturer or shareholder thereof becoming a party to a voluntary or involuntary federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding; (d) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (e) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or about the Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (f) any failure on the part of Borrower to perform or be in compliance with any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (g) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Property or any part thereof; (h) the failure of any person to file timely with the Internal Revenue Service an accurate Form 1099-B, Statement for Recipients of Proceeds from Real Estate, Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions, which may be required in connection with this Instrument, or to supply a copy thereof in a timely fashion to the recipient of the proceeds of the transaction in connection with which this Instrument is made; (i) any failure of the Property to be in compliance with any applicable laws; (j) the enforcement by any Indemnified Party of the provisions of this Section; (k) any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Lender by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants, or agreements contained in any Lease; (l) the payment of any commission, charge or brokerage fee to anyone which may be payable in connection with the funding of the loan evidenced by the Note; or (m) any misrepresentation made by Borrower in any of the Loan Documents.

SECTION 18. ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS; APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER; LENDER IN POSSESSION. As part of the consideration for the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Lender all the rents and revenues of the Property, including those now due, past due, or to become due by virtue of any lease or other agreement for the occupancy or use of all or any part of the Property, 20 regardless of to whom the rents and revenues of the Property are payable. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender or Lender's agents to collect the aforesaid rents and revenues and hereby directs each tenant of the Property to pay such rents to Lender or Lender's agents; provided, however, that prior to written notice given by Lender to Borrower of an Event of Default, Borrower shall collect and receive all rents and revenues of the Property as trustee for the benefit of Lender and Borrower, to apply the rents and revenues so collected to the sums secured by this Instrument in any order determined by Lender, so long as no such Event of Default has occurred, to the account of Borrower, it being intended by Borrower and Lender that this assignment of rents constitutes an absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. Upon delivery of written notice by Lender to Borrower of an Event of Default, and without the necessity of Lender entering upon and taking and maintaining full control of the Property in person, by agent or by a court-appointed receiver, Lender shall immediately be entitled to possession of all rents and revenues of the Property as specified in this Section as the same become due and payable, including, but not limited to, rents then due and unpaid, and all such rents shall immediately upon delivery of such notice and during the continuance of such Event(s) of Default be held by Borrower as trustee for the benefit of Lender only; provided, however, that the written notice by Lender to Borrower of such Event(s) of Default shall contain a statement that Lender exercises its rights to such rents. Borrower agrees that commencing upon delivery of such written notice of Borrower's breach by Lender to Borrower, each tenant of the Property shall make such rents payable to and pay such rents to Lender or Lender's agents on Lender's written demand to any tenant therefor, delivered to such tenant personally, by mail or by delivering such demand to the tenant at its location in the Property, without any liability on the part of said tenant to inquire further as to the existence of a default by Borrower. Borrower hereby covenants that Borrower has not executed any prior assignment of said rents, that Borrower has not performed, and will not perform, any acts or has not executed, and will not execute, any instrument which would prevent Lender from exercising its rights under this Section, and that at the time of execution of this Instrument there has been no anticipation or prepayment of any of the rents of the Property for more than one month prior to the due dates of such rents. Borrower covenants that Borrower will not hereafter collect or accept payment of any rents of the Property more than one month prior to the due dates of such rents. Borrower further covenants that Borrower will execute and deliver to Lender such further assignments of rents and revenues of the Property as Lender may from time to time request. Upon an Event of Default, or upon Borrower's breach of any material covenant of Borrower as landlord or lessor under any lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, Lender shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver for the Property, without notice to Borrower or any other person or entity and Lender may in person, by agent or by a court-appointed receiver, regardless of the adequacy of Lender's security, enter upon and take and maintain full control of the Property in order to perform all acts necessary and appropriate for the operation and maintenance thereof including, but not limited to, the execution, cancellation or modification of leases, the collection of all rents and revenues of the Property, the enforcement or fulfillment of any terms, condition or provision of any lease, the making of repairs to the Property and the execution or termination of contracts providing for the management or maintenance of the Property, all on such terms as are deemed best to protect the security of this Instrument. In the event Lender elects to seek the appointment of a receiver for the Property upon Borrower's breach of any covenant or agreement of Borrower in this Instrument, Borrower 21 hereby expressly consents to the appointment of such receiver. Lender or the receiver shall be entitled to receive a reasonable fee for so managing the Property. All rents and revenues collected subsequent to delivery of written notice by Lender to Borrower that an Event of Default has occurred and during the continuance of such Event of Default shall be applied first to the costs, if any, of taking control of and managing the Property and collecting the rents, including, but not limited to, attorney's fees, receiver's fees, premiums on receiver's bonds, costs of repairs to the Property, premiums on insurance policies, Taxes, and the costs of discharging any obligation or liability of Borrower as lessor or landlord of the Property and then to the sums secured by this Instrument. Lender or the receiver shall have access to the books and records used in the operation and maintenance of the Property and shall be liable to account only for those rents actually received. Other than for Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct under this Section, Lender shall not be liable to Borrower, anyone claiming under or through Borrower or anyone having an interest in the Property by reason of anything done or left undone by Lender under this Section. If the rents of the Property are not sufficient to meet the costs, if any, of taking control of and managing the Property and collecting the rents, any funds expended by Lender for such purposes shall become indebtedness of Borrower to Lender secured by this Instrument pursuant to Section 8 hereof. Unless Lender and Borrower agree in writing to other terms of payment, such amounts shall be payable upon notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment thereof and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the rate stated in the Note unless payment of interest at such rate would be contrary to applicable law, in which event such amounts shall bear interest at the highest rate which may be collected from Borrower under applicable law. Any entering upon and taking and maintaining of control of the Property by Lender or the receiver and any application of rents as provided herein shall not cure or waive any default hereunder or invalidate any other right or remedy of Lender under applicable law or provided herein. This assignment of rents of the Property shall terminate at such time as this Instrument ceases to secure indebtedness held by Lender. SECTION 19. DEFAULTS; ACCELERATION; REMEDIES. Each of the following shall constitute an "EVENT OF DEFAULT" under this Instrument: (a) Any failure of Borrower to pay any money as and when due under the Note or under any of the other Loan Documents; (b) Any breach of Sections 5, 15, 16, or 29 of this Instrument, or the Environmental Indemnity Agreement; (c) Other than as specified in items (a) or (b) above, any breach of any covenant, representation, warranty, or other obligation of Borrower or any guarantor or indemnitor under the Note, this Instrument, or any of the other Loan Documents, which breach is not completely cured on or before the 30th day after notice of the same from Lender to Borrower; provided however that if the default is capable of cure but with diligence cannot be cured within such period of 30 days, and if Borrower shall have given Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender that Borrower has commenced the cure within 10 days after the first notice 22 of default and at all times after such commencement has pursued such cure diligently, then such period shall be extended for so long as is reasonably necessary, but in no event beyond the 60th day after the original notice of default. If Lender shall have the right to exercise any of its remedies by reason of any default as to which there is no grace period or by reason of expiration of any grace period without cure of any applicable default, then there shall be no requirement of notice and time to cure for any other or subsequent default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, at Lender's option, declare all of the sums secured by this Instrument to be immediately due and payable without further demand, and may exercise any and all remedies permitted hereunder, under any of the Loan Documents, or pursuant to applicable law. Without limitation of the foregoing, Lender may invoke the power of sale granted herein. Borrower acknowledges that the power of sale herein granted may be exercised by Lender without prior judicial hearing. Borrower has the right to bring an action to assert the non-existence of a breach or any other defense of Borrower to acceleration and sale. Lender shall be entitled to collect from Borrower all costs and expenses incurred in pursuing such remedies, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees and costs of environmental reports, appraisals, documentary evidence, abstracts, and title reports. Any deed delivered to the purchaser at any sale pursuant hereto may be without any covenant or warranty, expressed or implied. The recitals in the deed shall be prima facie evidence of the truth of the statements made therein. The proceeds of the sale shall be applied in the following order: (a) to all costs and expenses of the sale, including, but not limited to, fees for any foreclosure services, attorney's fees and costs of title evidence; (b) to all sums secured by this Instrument in such order as Lender, in Lender's sole discretion, directs; and (c) the excess, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto. SECTION 20. ACCELERATION IN CASE OF BORROWER'S INSOLVENCY. If Borrower shall voluntarily file a petition under Title 11 of the U.S. Code (the "ACT"), as such Act may from time to time be amended, or under any similar or successor Federal statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangements or reorganizations, or under any state bankruptcy or insolvency act, or file an answer in any involuntary proceeding admitting insolvency or inability to pay debts, or if Borrower shall fail to obtain a vacation of involuntary proceedings brought for the reorganization, dissolution or liquidation of Borrower, within 120 days of the filing of such involuntary proceeding, or if Borrower shall be adjudged a bankrupt, or if a trustee or receiver shall be appointed for Borrower or Borrower's property, or if the Property shall become subject to the jurisdiction of a Federal bankruptcy court or similar state court, or if Borrower shall make an assignment for the benefit of Borrower's creditors, or if there is an attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of any portion of Borrower's assets and such seizure is not discharged within 10 days, then Lender may, at Lender's option, declare all of the sums secured by this Instrument to be immediately due and payable without prior notice to Borrower, and Lender may invoke any remedies permitted or provided for herein or in any of the Loan Documents or pursuant to applicable law. Any attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by Lender in connection with Borrower's bankruptcy or any of the other aforesaid events shall be additional indebtedness of Borrower secured by this Instrument pursuant to Section 8 hereof. 23 SECTION 21. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Each remedy provided in this Instrument is distinct and cumulative to all other rights or remedies under this Instrument or afforded by law or equity, and may be exercised concurrently, independently, or successively, in any order whatsoever. SECTION 22. WAIVER OF STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert any statute of limitations as a bar to the enforcement of the lien of this Instrument or to any action brought to enforce the Note or any other obligation secured by this Instrument. SECTION 23. WAIVER OF MARSHALLING. Notwithstanding the existence of any other security interest in the Property held by Lender or by any other party, Lender shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the Property shall be subjected to the remedies provided herein. Lender shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all portions of the indebtedness secured hereby are satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the exercise of the remedies provided herein. Borrower, any party who consents to this Instrument and any party who now or hereafter acquires a security interest in the Property and who has actual or constructive notice hereof hereby waives any and all right to require the marshalling of assets in connection with the exercise of any of the remedies permitted by applicable law or provided herein.

Such amounts will be transferred by Lender to a Subaccount (the "TAX AND INSURANCE SUBACCOUNT"). Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender will (a) apply funds in the Tax and Insurance Subaccount to payments of Taxes required to be made by Borrower pursuant to this Instrument, provided that Borrower has promptly supplied Lender with notices of all Taxes due, or (b) reimburse Borrower for payments of (x) Taxes and (y) insurance premiums paid in connection with the purchase of a separate "stand-alone" policy providing the coverage afforded by the insurance policies required under this Instrument upon the expiration thereof, in each case, due upon presentation of evidence acceptable to Lender of such payment by Borrower; subject, however, to Borrower's right to contest Taxes in accordance with this Instrument. In making any payment or reimbursement relating to Taxes and insurance premiums, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to insurance premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If Lender determines in its reasonable judgment that the funds in the Tax and Insurance Subaccount will be insufficient to pay (or in excess of) the Taxes or insurance premiums next coming due, Lender may increase (or decrease) the monthly contribution required to be made by Borrower to the Tax and Insurance Subaccount. (ii) Alternative Escrow. (1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in paragraph (i) above, in lieu of the requirements set forth therein with respect to Borrower's obligations to make monthly deposits on account of insurance premiums into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Borrower has deposited with Lender on the date hereof an amount equal to the Alternative Escrow Amount, which amount has been transferred by Lender into a Subaccount (the "ALTERNATIVE ESCROW SUBACCOUNT"). From time to time, upon Lender's request, Borrower shall deposit such additional funds into the Alternative Escrow Subaccount to reflect any actual increases, as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion, after the date hereof in the amount of such insurance premiums. 30 (2) At all times that the Alternative Escrow Subaccount is being held by Lender, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Instrument, Borrower shall pay (or cause to be paid) such insurance premiums as the same become due and payable, and upon reasonable request, promptly furnish to Lender receipts for the payment of all such amounts or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender. (3) Upon any non-payment of such insurance premiums, Lender shall have the right to withdraw funds from the Alternative Escrow Subaccount for the purpose of making such required payments on behalf of Borrower. (4) Notwithstanding the above, Borrower's obligations to make the payments required under Section 25(d)(i)(2) shall immediately resume and shall continue until the end of the Term in the event that (i) all or any portion of the Alternative Escrow Subaccount is applied in accordance with subparagraph (3) above, (ii) Borrower fails to deposit additional funds into the Alternative Escrow Subaccount in accordance with the last sentence of subparagraph (1) above within 5 days of demand or (iii) Borrower purchases a separate "stand-alone" policy providing the coverage afforded by the insurance policies required under this Instrument upon the expiration thereof.

Borrower shall pay to Lender $10,636.13 on each Payment Date (the "MONTHLY ROLLOVER PAYMENT"); provided, however, Borrower shall not be 31 required to make any Monthly Rollover Payment on any Payment Date when the balance on deposit in the Rollover Reserve Subaccount is equal to or greater than $125,000 (excluding any amounts deposited pursuant to the fourth sentence of this subsection (f)). Additionally, if a Rollover Sweep Period has commenced, and no other Cash Management Period is then continuing, then on the immediately succeeding Payment Date and on each Payment Date thereafter during the continuance of such Rollover Sweep Period, all Available Cash shall be paid to Lender. Lender will transfer such amounts into a Subaccount (the "ROLLOVER RESERVE SUBACCOUNT"). Borrower shall also pay to Lender for transfer into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount all payments received from tenants in connection with the early termination or cancellation of any Leases, including fees, penalties and commissions.

During a Cash Management Period, Borrower shall pay to Lender on or before each Payment Date the monthly amount set forth in the Approved Operating Budget for the following month as being necessary for payment of Approved Operating Expenses at the Property for such month, which amounts shall be transferred into a Subaccount for the payment of Approved Operating Expenses (the "OPERATING EXPENSE Subaccount").

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, upon Lender's request, if permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, turn over to Lender the security deposits (and any interest theretofore earned thereon) under Leases, to be held by Lender in a Subaccount (the "SECURITY DEPOSIT SUBACCOUNT") subject to the terms of the Leases. Security deposits held in the Security Deposit Subaccount will be released by Lender upon notice from Borrower together with such evidence as Lender may reasonably request that such security deposit is required to be returned to a tenant pursuant to the terms of a Lease or may be applied as Rent pursuant to the rights of Borrower under the applicable Lease. Any letter of credit or other instrument that Borrower receives in lieu of a cash security deposit under any Lease entered into after the date hereof shall (i) be maintained in full force and effect in the full amount unless replaced by a cash deposit as hereinabove described and (ii) if permitted pursuant to any Legal Requirements, name Lender as payee or mortgagee thereunder (or at Lender's option, be fully assignable to Lender).

At Lender's option, during the continuance of a Rollover Sweep Period, any funds that have been deposited into the Cash Collateral Subaccount may be transferred by Lender into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount, to be applied and disbursed in accordance with the provisions of Section 25(f) hereof. Any funds in the Cash Collateral Subaccount Account and not previously disbursed or applied shall be disbursed to Borrower upon the termination of such Cash Management Period. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time (i) during the continuance of an Event of Default or (ii) subsequent to the second Calculation Date following the commencement of a Cash Management Period (whether or not an Event of 33 Default is then continuing), in its sole and absolute discretion to apply all sums then on deposit in the Cash Collateral Subaccount to Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents, in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect in its sole and absolute discretion, including to make a prepayment of principal (together with the Prepayment Consideration (as defined in the Note) applicable thereto). (k) GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST; APPLICATION OF FUNDS. As security for payment of the Loan and the performance by Borrower of all other terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a security interest in, all Borrower's right, title and interest in and to all Rents and in and to all payments to or monies held in the Clearing Account, the Deposit Account, all Subaccounts created pursuant to this Instrument (collectively, the "CASH MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTS"). Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest in, and agrees to hold in trust for the benefit of Lender, all Rents in its possession prior to the (i) payment of such Rents to Lender or (ii) deposit of such Rents into the Clearing Account. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Cash Management Account, or permit any lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. This Instrument is, among other things, intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any sums in any Cash Management Account in any order and in any manner as Lender shall elect in Lender's discretion without seeking the appointment of a receiver and without adversely affecting the rights of Lender to foreclose the Lien of the Instrument or exercise its other rights under the Loan Documents. Cash Management Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. All interest which accrues on the funds in any Cash Management Account (other than the Tax and Insurance Subaccount) shall accrue for the benefit of Borrower and shall be taxable to Borrower and shall be added to and disbursed in the same manner and under the same conditions as the principal sum on which said interest accrued. Upon repayment in full of Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents, all remaining funds in the Subaccounts, if any, shall be promptly disbursed to Borrower. (l) PROPERTY CASH FLOW ALLOCATION. (i) During any Cash Management Period, all Rents deposited into the Deposit Account during the immediately preceding Interest Period shall be applied on each Payment Date as follows in the following order of priority: (i) First, to make payments into the Tax and Insurance Subaccount as required under paragraph (d) of this Section 25; (ii) Second, to pay the monthly portion of the fees charged by the Deposit Bank in accordance with the Deposit Account Agreement; (iii) Third, to Lender to pay the principal and interest due under the Note on such Payment Date (plus, if applicable, interest at the Default Rate and all other amounts, other than those described under other clauses of this paragraph (l) of this Section 25, then due to Lender under the Loan Documents); (iv) Fourth, to make payments into the Capital Reserve Subaccount as required under paragraph (e) of this Section 25; (v) Fifth, to make payments of the Monthly Rollover Payment into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount, as required under paragraph (f) of this Section 25; (vi) Sixth, to make payments for Approved Operating Expenses as required under paragraph (g) of this Section 25; (vii) Seventh, during the continuance of a 34 Rollover Sweep Period (and if no other Cash Management Period is then continuing) to make payments in an amount equal to all remaining Available Cash on such Payment Date into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount as required under paragraph (f) of this Section 25; and (viii) Lastly, during the continuance of a Cash Management Period described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the defined term "Cash Management Period", to make payments in an amount equal to all remaining Available Cash on such Payment Date into the Cash Collateral Subaccount in accordance with paragraph (j) of this Section 25. Upon the termination of any Cash Management Period, provided no Event of Default is then continuing, any funds in the Operating Expense Subaccount and not previously disbursed or applied shall be fully disbursed to Borrower. (ii) The failure of Borrower to make all of the payments required under clauses (i) through (viii) of paragraph (i) above in full on each Payment Date shall constitute an Event of Default under this Instrument; provided, however, if adequate funds are available in the Deposit Account for such payments, the failure by the Deposit Bank to allocate such funds into the appropriate Subaccounts shall not constitute an Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 25, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply all Rents deposited into the Deposit Account and other proceeds of repayment in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect. SECTION 26. NONRECOURSE LOAN. Subject to the provisions of this Section, and notwithstanding any provision of the Loan Documents other than this Section, the personal liability of Borrower, and of any general partner of Borrower, to pay the principal of and interest on the debt evidenced by the Note and any other agreement evidencing Borrower's obligations under the Note shall be limited to (a) the Collateral, (b) the personal property described in and pledged under any Loan Document other than this Instrument, and (c) the rents, profits, issues, products and income of the Property, including any received or collected by or on behalf of Borrower after an Event of Default.

THIS INSTRUMENT WAS NEGOTIATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND MADE BY BORROWER AND ACCEPTED BY LENDER IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WHICH STATE THE PARTIES AGREE HAS A SUBSTANTIAL RELATIONSHIP TO THE PARTIES AND TO THE UNDERLYING TRANSACTION EMBODIED HEREBY, AND IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, THIS INSTRUMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE (WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT LAWS) AND ANY APPLICABLE LAW OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWER HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM TO ASSERT THAT THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION GOVERNS THIS INSTRUMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND THIS INSTRUMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW. In the event that any provision of this Instrument or the Note conflicts with applicable 49 law, such conflict shall not affect other provisions of this Instrument or the Note which can be given effect without the conflicting provisions, and to this end the provisions of this Instrument and the Note are declared to be severable. In the event that any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower is interpreted so that any charge provided for in this Instrument or in the Note, whether considered separately or together with other charges levied in connection with this Instrument and the Note, violates such law, and Borrower is entitled to the benefit of such law, such charge is hereby reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate such violation. The amounts, if any, previously paid to Lender in excess of the amounts payable to Lender pursuant to such charges as reduced shall be applied by Lender to reduce the principal of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note. For the purposes of determining whether any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower has been violated, all indebtedness which is secured by this Instrument or evidenced by the Note and which constitutes interest, as well as all other charges levied in connection with such indebtedness which constitute interest, shall be deemed to be allocated and spread over the stated term of the Note. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, such allocation and spreading shall be effected in such a manner that the rate of interest computed thereby is uniform throughout the stated term of the Note. SECTION 32. RESTRUCTURING LOAN, SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTIONS. (a) Secondary Market Transactions Generally. Lender shall have the right to engage in one or more Secondary Market Transactions (as defined in Section 15 hereof), and to structure and restructure all or any part of the Loan, including without limitation in multiple tranches, as a wraparound loan, or for inclusion in a REMIC or other Securitization (as defined in Section 15 hereof). Without limitation, Lender shall have the right to cause the Note and this Instrument to be split into a first and a second mortgage loan in whatever proportion Lender determines, and thereafter to engage in Secondary Market Transactions with respect to all or any part of the indebtedness and loan documentation. Borrower acknowledges that it is the intention of the parties that all or a portion of the Loan will be securitized and that all or a portion of the Loan (either itself, or in combination with other loans) will be rated by one or more Rating Agencies (as defined in Section 15 hereof). Borrower further acknowledges that additional structural modifications may be required to satisfy issues raised by any Rating Agencies. (b) Cooperation; Limitations. Borrower shall use all reasonable efforts and cooperate reasonably and in good faith with Lender in effecting any such restructuring or Secondary Market Transaction. Such cooperation shall include without limitation, executing and delivering such reasonable amendments to the Loan Documents as Lender may request, provided however that no such amendment shall on an over-all basis modify (i) the interest rate payable under the Note; (ii) the stated maturity date of the Note, (iii) the amortization of the principal amount of the Note, (iv) any other economic terms of the Loan, or (v) the non-recourse provisions of the Loan. Such cooperation also shall include using best efforts to obtain such certificates and assurances from governmental entities and others as Lender may request. Borrower shall not be required to incur any cost in connection with such restructure or Secondary Market Transaction or to provide additional collateral that was not initially contemplated by the parties to effect any such restructuring or Secondary Market Transaction. 50 (c) Information. Borrower shall provide such information and documents relating to the Borrower and its principals, the manager of the Property, the Property and the business and operations of all of the foregoing as Lender may reasonably request in connection with any such Secondary Market Transaction. Lender shall be permitted to share all such information with the investment banking firms, Rating Agencies, accounting firms, law firms, other third party advisory firms, potential investors, and other parties involved in any proposed Secondary Market Transaction. Any such information may be incorporated into offering documents for the Secondary Market Transactions. Lender and all of the aforesaid third-party advisors and professional firms and investors shall be entitled to rely upon such information, and Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lender from and against any losses, claims, damages and liabilities that arise out of or are based upon any actual or alleged untrue or misleading statement of material fact contained in such information or the actual or alleged omission of any material fact without which such information is materially misleading. Lender may publicize the existence of the Loan in connection with Lender's Secondary Market Transaction activities or otherwise. (d) Additional Provisions. In any Secondary Market Transaction, Lender may transfer its obligations under the Loan Documents (or may transfer the portion thereof corresponding to the transferred portion of the obligations of Borrower), and thereafter Lender shall be relieved of any obligations under the Loan Documents arising after the date of said transfer with respect to the transferred interest. Each transferee investor shall be deemed to be a "Lender" under the applicable Loan Documents. (e) Certain Definitions. As used herein, the following terms have the meanings indicated: "LOAN": all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents. "SECURITIZATION": mean a rated offering of securities representing direct or indirect interests in one or more mortgage loans or the right to receive income therefrom. SECTION 33. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS BOUND. This Instrument and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns forever, subject to Section 15 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no liability under any of the Loan Documents for any matter arising after Lender transfers its interest in the Note to any successor. However, Lender shall continue to have the benefit of all rights having accrued under the Loan Documents theretofore, and all rights under all obligations of indemnification set forth in the Loan Documents for matters arising theretofore, then, and thereafter. SECTION 34. FORBEARANCE BY LENDER NOT A WAIVER. Any forbearance by Lender in exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy. The acceptance by Lender of payment of any sum secured by this Instrument after the due date of such payment shall not be a waiver of Lender's right to either require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare a default for failure to make prompt payment. The procurement of insurance or the payment of taxes or other liens or charges by Lender shall not be a waiver of 51 Lender's right to accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness secured by this Instrument, nor shall Lender's receipt of any awards, proceeds or damages, whether as proceeds of insurance or condemnation awards or otherwise, operate to cure or waive Borrower's default in payment of sums secured by this Instrument. SECTION 35. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Borrower shall within ten days of a written request from Lender furnish Lender with a written statement, duly acknowledged, setting forth the sums secured by this Instrument and any right of set-off, counterclaim or other defense which exists against such sums and the obligations of this Instrument and attaching true, correct and complete copies of the Note, this Instrument and any other Loan Documents and any and all modifications, amendments and substitutions thereof. SECTION 36. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THE BORROWER MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE NOTE, THIS INSTRUMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, ANY OTHER AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF EITHER PARTY.

If any or all of the proceeds of the Note have been used to extinguish, extend or renew any indebtedness heretofore existing against the Property, then, to the extent of the funds so used, Lender shall be subrogated to all of the rights, claims, liens, titles, and interests existing against the Property heretofore held by, or in favor of, the holder of such indebtedness and such former rights, claims, liens, titles, and interests, if any, are not waived but rather are continued in full force and effect in favor of Lender and are merged with the lien and security interest created herein as cumulative security for the performance and repayment of the obligations secured hereby. (g) Entire Agreement. The Note, this Instrument and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding and agreement between Borrower and Lender pertaining to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede all prior written or oral understandings and agreements between Borrower and Lender with respect thereto, including the prior agreements evidenced by any application or commitment issued in connection with this transaction. Borrower hereby acknowledges that, except as incorporated in writing in the Loan Documents, there are not, and were not, and no persons are or were authorized by Lender to make, any representations, understandings, stipulations, agreements or promises, oral or written, with respect to the transaction which is the subject of the Loan Documents, except only to the extent expressly set forth in the Loan Documents.

Section 2.03. Purpose. The Loan shall be made for the business purpose of financing the Mortgaged Property.

For purposes of determining compliance with the DSC Test, Net Operating Income shall be calculated on a semi-annual basis using six months' actual figures and the projected figures for the next succeeding six months and debt service shall be calculated using an interest rate equal to the greater of (a) the actual interest rate; (b) the Treasury Rate plus 200 basis points or (c) an interest rate equal to 8.0% and a (25) year equal payment self liquidating amortization schedule. For purposes of determining compliance with the Loan to Value Test, a new appraisal shall not be required for each advance provided the appraisal required in connection therewith shall not be more than twelve (12) months old 11 and any required reappraisals shall be made at Borrower's expense, subject to the limitation set forth in clause (i) above. Section 2.05. Procedure for Advance. Borrower shall submit to Administrative Agent a request for the advance of proceeds of the Loan no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date ten (10) Business Days, prior to the date the advance is to be made. Administrative Agent, upon its receipt and approval of the request for advance, will so notify all Lenders either by telephone or by facsimile. Not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date set for such advance, each Lender shall, through its Applicable Lending Office and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, make the amount to be advanced by it on such day available to Administrative Agent, at Administrative Agent's Office and in immediately available funds for the account of Borrower. The amount so received by Administrative Agent shall, subject to the conditions of this Agreement, be made available to Borrower, in immediately available funds, by Administrative Agent's crediting an account of Borrower designated by Borrower in its request for advance. Section 2.06. Notes. The Loan shall be evidenced by notes of Borrower in the form of EXHIBIT D, duly completed and executed by Borrower (one for each Lender in an amount equal to such Lender's Individual Loan Commitment, payable for the account of such Lender's Applicable Lending Office), in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Loan Amount (such notes, as the same may hereafter be amended, modified, extended, severed, assigned, substituted, renewed or restated from time to time (including, without limitation, any substitute notes pursuant to Section 8.07), each, a "Note" and collectively, the "Notes"). The Notes shall mature, and all outstanding principal and other sums thereunder shall be paid in full, on the Maturity Date, as the same may be accelerated or extended. In case of any loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Lender's Note, Borrower shall, upon its receipt of an affidavit of an officer of such Lender as to such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation and an appropriate indemnification, execute and deliver a replacement Note to such Lender in the same principal amount and otherwise of like tenor as the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note. Section 2.07. Payments and Distributions. Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement and under the Notes not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date when due to Administrative Agent at Administrative Agent's Office in immediately available funds. Administrative Agent will thereafter, on the day of its receipt of each such payment, cause to be distributed to each Lender such Lender's appropriate share (based upon the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Notes and the respective rates of interest thereunder) of the payments of principal and interest, and its appropriate share of the payments of other sums, in like funds for the account of such Lender's Applicable Lending Office. Payments by Borrower hereunder or under the Notes or other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, whenever any payment to be made under this Agreement or under the Notes is due on any day other 12 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 the payment of interest and, if applicable, fees, as the case may be. Each Lender's interest in the Loan shall be of equal priority with the interest of each other Lender. Section 2.08. Interest. Borrower shall have the option, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, of paying interest on the Principal Amount or portions thereof at the Prime Based Rate or the LIBO Based Rate. If Borrower desires the application of the LIBO Based Rate, it shall submit a LIBO Rate Request to Administrative Agent, which LIBO Rate Request shall be irrevocable, subject to Borrower's right to convert the rate of interest payable under the Notes with respect to any LIBOR Amount from the LIBO Based Rate to the Prime Based Rate as provided in Section 2.10. Administrative Agent shall, on the day of its receipt of the LIBO Rate Request from Borrower, notify each Lender by either telephone or by facsimile of the specified LIBOR Amount and the amount of the Lender's portion thereof, the Interest Period and date of commencement thereof, and the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Amount. Each LIBO Rate Request shall be applicable to the Notes in accordance with the Lenders' respective Pro Rata Shares, so that, barring a conversion or suspension of the LIBO Based Rate by one or more, but not all, Lenders, pursuant to Article III, the outstanding principal amounts of each of the Notes shall contain segments bearing interest at the Prime Based Rate and/or LIBO Based Rate(s) under particular Interest Period(s), each of which segments shall correspond to a proportional segment of the outstanding principal amount of every other Note. In the event that Borrower fails to submit a LIBO Rate Request with respect to a LIBOR Amount not later than 12 Noon (New York time) three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the relevant Interest Period, the LIBOR Amount in question shall bear interest, commencing at the end of such Interest Period, at the Prime Based Rate. Interest shall be computed on an actual/360-day basis (i.e., interest for each day during which any portion of the Principal Amount is bearing interest at a particular interest rate per annum shall be computed at such rate divided by 360). Borrower shall pay interest on the Principal Amount to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders. Interest on the Principal Amount shall be payable, in arrears, monthly on the first day of the first month following the Initial Advance and on the first day of each month thereafter until the Notes are repaid in full. Section 2.09. Limitation on Number of Interest Periods. Borrower shall not have the right to have more than five (5) Interest Periods, in the aggregate, in respect of the Loan in effect at any one time, whether or not any portion of the Principal Amount is then bearing interest at the Prime Based Rate. Section 2.10. Conversions of Interest Rate. Provided there exists no Event of Default, Borrower shall have the right to convert, from time to time, the rate of interest payable under the Notes with respect to any portion of the Principal Amount to the LIBO 13 Based Rate or the Prime Based Rate, subject to the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the payment of all amounts due in connection with any such conversion from the LIBO Based Rate on a date other than the last day of an applicable Interest Period) and provided that, in the case of a conversion from the LIBO Based Rate, the entire LIBOR Amount is the subject of the conversion. Conversions shall be accomplished (i) in the case of a conversion from the Prime Based Rate to the LIBO Based Rate, by Borrower's submission of a LIBO Rate Request in accordance with Section 2.08 or (ii) in the case of a conversion from the LIBO Based Rate to the Prime Based Rate, by Borrower's request to Administrative Agent by telephone (to be promptly confirmed in writing), to be received by Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date specified for such conversion, specifying the LIBOR Amount with respect to which the interest rate is to be converted and the date of the conversion. On the date of its receipt of such request, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof either by telephone or by facsimile. Section 2.11. Inapplicability of LIBO Based Rate. Any portion of the Principal Amount to which the LIBO Based Rate is not or cannot pursuant to the terms of this Agreement be applicable shall bear interest at the Prime Based Rate. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the entire Principal Amount shall, at the option of the Required Lenders, immediately and without notice to Borrower, bear interest at the Prime Based Rate. In addition, following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall have no right to submit a LIBO Rate Request with respect to any LIBOR Amount for which the current Interest Period is expiring. The foregoing provisions shall not be construed as a waiver by Lenders of their right to pursue any other remedies available to them under the Mortgage or any other Loan Document nor shall they be construed to limit in any way the application of the Default Rate as provided in the Mortgage. Section 2.12. Late Payment Premium. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders a late payment premium in the amount of 5% of any payments of principal or interest under the Loan made more than ten (10) days after the due date thereof, which late payment premium shall be due with any such late payment. Section 2.13. Voluntary Prepayments. Borrower may, upon at least fifteen (15) Business Days' notice (which notice shall be irrevocable) to Administrative Agent, prepay the Principal Amount, in whole or part, without premium or penalty; provided, however, that (i) any partial prepayment under this Section shall be in a principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of $100,000, (ii) prepayment of a LIBOR Amount other than on the last day of the applicable Interest Period shall be subject to the provisions of Section 3.03 and (iii) each prepayment under this Section shall include all interest accrued on the amount of principal prepaid (and all late charges and other sums that may be payable) through the date of prepayment. Amounts prepaid may not be reborrowed. Section 2.14. Annual Commitment Reduction/Required Amortization. Commencing on the first day of June, 2005 and on the first day of each June thereafter until the Maturity Date both the Loan Amount and the aggregate amount of the Lender's Individual Loan Commitment shall reduce by the amount set forth on Schedule A 14 attached hereto and, to the extent the Loan Amount as so reduced would exceed the Principal Amount, Borrower shall, on the date of reduction make a mandatory principal payment in the amount of such excess such that, at no time, shall the Principal Amount exceed the Loan Amount as reduced from time to time. After any release of a Property, in accordance with Section 8.18 or otherwise, Administrative Agent shall recalculate the required annual amortization payments due hereunder in accordance with a constant annual payment mortgage schedule based on the Principal Amount at such time and an assumed interest rate of 8% per annum, which would fully amortize over a term equal to (x) twenty-five (25) years less (y) the number of full twelve (12) month periods elapsed since the date hereof. Administrative Agent shall provide Borrower with a schedule of such recalculated amortization payment schedule upon request and such schedule shall be final and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error. ARTICLE III YIELD MAINTENANCE ETC. Section 3.01. Additional Costs and Other Effects of Regulatory Changes; Taxes. Borrower shall pay directly to a Lender, promptly upon demand, such amounts as are necessary to compensate such Lender for Additional Costs resulting from any Regulatory Change which (i) subjects such Lender to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to the Loan or its Note, or changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under the Loan or its Note (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Lender or of its Applicable Lending Office by the jurisdiction in which such Lender's principal office or such Applicable Lending Office is located), (ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender, (iii) imposes on such Lender or, in the case of LIBOR Amounts, on the London interbank market, any other condition affecting the Loan or its Note, or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities or (iv) imposes any capital adequacy requirements on such Lender by virtue of the Loan or the Notes. Such Lender will notify Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) of any event occurring after the date hereof which would entitle it to compensation pursuant to this paragraph as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office for those portions of the Loan affected by such event if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in such Lender's sole opinion, be disadvantageous to it, provided that such Lender shall have no obligation to so designate an Applicable Lending Office located in the United States. Without limiting the effect of the immediately preceding paragraph, in the event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change, (i) a Lender incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of (1) a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender which includes deposits by reference to which the LIBO Rate is determined as provided in this Agreement and/or (2) a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender which includes loans the interest on 15 which is determined on the basis of rates referred to in the definition of "LIBO Rate" in Section 1.01, (ii) a Lender becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets which it may hold or (iii) it shall be unlawful or impossible for a Lender to make or maintain its Pro Rata Share of the Loan (or any portion thereof) at the LIBO Based Rate, then such Lender's obligation to make or maintain its Pro Rata Share of the Loan (or any portion thereof) at the LIBO Based Rate (and Borrower's right to request the same) shall be suspended and such Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) and, upon the giving of such notice, interest payable on the affected Note shall be converted to the Prime Based Rate, unless such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain its Pro Rata Share of the Loan (or any portion thereof) then bearing interest at the LIBO Based Rate to the end of the current Interest Period(s), at which time the interest rate on the affected Note shall convert to the Prime Based Rate. If subsequent to any conversion to the Prime Based Rate as provided above such Lender determines that such Regulatory Change has ceased to be in effect, such Lender will so notify Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent), and Borrower may convert the rate of interest payable under the affected Note with respect to those portions of the Principal Amount bearing interest at the Prime Based Rate to the LIBO Based Rate by submitting a LIBO Rate Request in respect thereof and otherwise complying with the provisions of this Agreement with respect thereto. Determinations by each Lender of the existence or effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of making or maintaining its Pro Rate Share of the Loan, or portions thereof, at the LIBO Based Rate, or on amounts receivable by it in respect thereof, and of the additional amounts required to compensate such Lender in respect of Additional Costs, shall be conclusive, so long as made on a reasonable basis. Section 3.02. Limitations on Availability of LIBO Based Rate. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, at the time of or prior to the determination of the LIBO Based Rate in respect of any LIBO Rate Request Amount as provided in this Agreement, (i) Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive, so long as made on a reasonable basis) that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market generally, adequate and fair means do not or will not exist for determining the LIBO Rate applicable to an Interest Period or (ii) a Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive, so long as made on a reasonable basis) that the LIBO Rate will not accurately reflect the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining its Pro Rata Share of the Loan (or any portion thereof) at the LIBO Based Rate, then Administrative Agent, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (i) above, or such Lender, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) above, shall give Borrower prompt notice thereof (with a copy to Administrative Agent in the case of the notice from such Lender), and the LIBO Rate Request Amount in question, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (i) above, or such Lender's portion thereof, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) above, shall bear interest, or continue to bear interest, as the case may be, at the Prime Based Rate. If at any time subsequent to Administrative Agent's or such Lender's giving of such notice, Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, determines that because of a change in circumstances the LIBO Based Rate is again available to Borrower, Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall so notify Borrower (with 16 a copy to Administrative Agent, in the case of the notice from such Lender) and Borrower may convert the rate of interest payable under the Notes or such Lender's Note, as the case may be, from the Prime Based Rate to the LIBO Based Rate by submitting a LIBO Rate Request in respect thereof and otherwise complying with the provisions of this Agreement with respect thereto. Section 3.03. Certain Compensation. Borrower shall pay directly to a Lender, immediately upon request and notwithstanding contrary provisions contained in the Mortgage or other Loan Documents, such amounts as shall, in the judgment of such Lender (which shall be conclusive so long as made on a reasonable basis), compensate it for any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of (i) any payment or prepayment (under any circumstances whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of any portion of the Principal Amount bearing interest at the LIBO Based Rate on a date other than the last day of an applicable Interest Period, (ii) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the rate of interest payable under such Lender's Note from the LIBO Based Rate to the Prime Based Rate with respect to any portion of the Principal Amount then bearing interest at the LIBO Based Rate on a date other than the last day of an applicable Interest Period, (iii) the failure of all or a portion of an advance of the Loan which was to have borne interest at the LIBO Based Rate pursuant to a LIBO Rate Request to be made, (iv) any failure by Borrower to prepay any portion of the Principal Amount bearing interest at the LIBO Based Rate on the date specified in Borrower's notice of prepayment or (v) the failure of Borrower to borrow, continue or convert in accordance with a LIBO Rate Request submitted by it, which amounts shall include, without limitation, an amount equal the Present Value (determined as hereinafter provided) of the dollar amount which is obtained by multiplying the number of days from the date of the occurrence to the last day of the applicable Interest Period by a number which is calculated by (i) multiplying the amount prepaid, converted, not advanced, not prepaid or not borrowed, as the case may be, by the excess of the LIBO Based Rate applicable thereto over the current rate for United States Treasury securities (bills on a discounted basis shall be converted to a bond equivalent) with a maturity date closest to the last day of the applicable Interest Period and (ii) dividing the product thereof by 360.

ARTICLE VII ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT; RELATIONS AMONG LENDERS Section 7.01. Appointment, Powers and Immunities of Administrative Agent. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document with such powers as are specifically delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and any other Loan Document or required by Law, and shall not by reason of this Agreement be a fiduciary or trustee for any Lender except to the extent that Administrative Agent acts as an agent with respect to the receipt or payment of funds, nor shall Administrative Agent have any fiduciary duty to Borrower nor shall any Lender have any fiduciary duty to Borrower or any other Lender. No implied covenants, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against Administrative Agent. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible to Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by Borrower or any officer, partner or official of Borrower or any other Person contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or in any certificate or other document or instrument referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for the value, legality, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein, for the perfection or priority of any lien securing the obligations hereunder or thereunder or for any failure by Borrower or any Guarantor to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable or responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Section 7.02. Reliance by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telex, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct 31 and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may deem and treat each Lender as the holder of its Note and interest in the Loan for all purposes hereof and shall not be required to deal with any Person who has acquired a Participation in the Loan from a Lender. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with instructions signed by the Required Lenders, and such instructions of the Required Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of Lenders and any other holder of all or any portion of the Loan or Participation therein. Section 7.03. Defaults. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a Default or of an Event of Default unless Administrative Agent has actual knowledge thereof or has received notice from a Lender or Borrower specifying such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default." In the event that Administrative Agent has such actual knowledge or receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to Lenders. Administrative Agent shall promptly send to each Lender a copy of any notice of a Default or Event of Default that Administrative Agent sends to Borrower or Guarantor. Administrative Agent, following consultation with Lenders, shall (subject to Section 7.07) take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default which is continuing, including with respect to the exercise of remedies or the realization on, or operation or disposition of, any or all of the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral for the Loan, as shall be directed by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that, unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, Administrative Agent may take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem to be in the best interest of Lenders. In no event shall Administrative Agent be required to take any such action which it determines would be contrary to the Loan Documents or to Law. Each of Lenders acknowledges and agrees that no individual Lender may separately enforce or exercise any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Notes) other than through Administrative Agent. Section 7.04. Rights of Administrative Agent as Lender. With respect to its Note and interest in the Loan, Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as Administrative Agent, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender. Administrative Agent and its affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to (on a secured or unsecured basis), and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, Borrower or Guarantor (and any affiliates of them) as if it were not acting as Administrative Agent. Section 7.05. Sharing of Costs by Lenders; Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall pay its ratable share, based on the respective outstanding principal balances under its Note and the other Notes, of any expenses incurred (and not 32 paid or reimbursed by Borrower after demand for payment is made by Administrative Agent) by or on behalf of Lenders in connection with any Default or Event of Default, including, without limitation, costs of enforcement of the Loan Documents and any advances to pay taxes or insurance premiums, to complete the Improvements or otherwise to preserve the lien of the Mortgage or to preserve or protect the Mortgaged Property. In the event a Lender fails to pay its share of expenses as aforesaid, and all or a portion of such unpaid amount is paid by Administrative Agent and/or one or more of the other Lenders, then the defaulting Lender shall reimburse Administrative Agent and/or the other Lender(s) for the portion of such unpaid amount paid by it or them, as the case may be, together with interest thereon at the Prime Based Rate from the date of payment by Administrative Agent and/or the other Lender(s). In addition, each Lender agrees to reimburse and indemnify Administrative Agent (to the extent it is not paid by on or behalf of Borrower, after demand for payment is made by Administrative Agent, under Section 8.13 or under the applicable provisions of any other Loan Document, but without limiting the obligation of Borrower under said Section 8.13 or such provisions), for such Lender's ratable share, based upon the respective outstanding principal balances under its Note and the other Notes, of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses which Borrower is obligated to pay under Section 8.13 or under the applicable provisions of any other Loan Document) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents or instruments; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for (i) any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified or (ii) any loss of principal or interest with respect to Administrative Agent's Note or interest in the Loan. Section 7.06. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance on Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis of the collateral for the Loan and of the credit of Borrower and Guarantor, and its own decision to enter into this Agreement, and that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties (including, without limitation, the Properties) or books of Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Administrative Agent hereunder, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of Borrower or Guarantor (or any affiliate of them) which may come into the possession of Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates. Administrative Agent shall not be required 33 to file this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document or instrument referred to herein or therein, for record or give notice of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document or instrument referred to herein or therein, to anyone. Section 7.07. Failure of Administrative Agent to Act. Except for action expressly required of Administrative Agent hereunder, Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall have received further assurances (which may include cash collateral) of the indemnification obligations of Lenders under Section 7.05 in respect of any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. If any indemnity furnished to Administrative Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, the action indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. Section 7.08. Resignation or Removal of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with cause by the Required Lenders, provided that Borrower and the other Lenders shall be promptly notified thereof. Upon such resignation or removal of Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which successor Administrative Agent shall (provided there exists no Event of Default) be subject to Borrower's approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within twenty (20) days after the resignation or the Required Lenders' removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be one of Lenders, within ten (10) days. The Required Lenders or the retiring Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent promptly so notify Borrower and the other Lenders. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VII shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent. Section 7.09. Amendments Concerning Agency Function. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall not be bound by any waiver, amendment, supplement or modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which affects its duties, rights, and/or function hereunder or thereunder unless it shall have given its prior written consent thereto. Section 7.10. Liability of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not have any liabilities or responsibilities to Borrower on account of the failure of any Lender 34 to perform its obligations hereunder or to any Lender on account of the failure of Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document. Section 7.11. Transfer of Agency Function. Without the consent of Borrower or any Lender, Administrative Agent may at any time or from time to time transfer its functions as Administrative Agent hereunder to any of its offices wherever located in the United States, provided that Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Lenders thereof. Section 7.12. Non-Receipt of Funds by Administrative Agent; Adjustments. (a) Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender or Borrower (either one as appropriate being the "Payor") prior to the date on which such Lender is to make payment hereunder to Administrative Agent of Loan proceeds or Borrower is to make payment to Administrative Agent, as the case may be (either such payment being a "Required Payment"), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor will not make the Required Payment in full to Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made in full to Administrative Agent on such date, and Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may, but shall not be obligated to, in reliance upon such assumption, make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient on such date. If and to the extent the Payor shall not have in fact so made the Required Payment in full to Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount made available to it together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount was so made available by Administrative Agent until the date Administrative Agent recovers such amount, at the Federal Funds Rate. (b) If, after Administrative Agent has paid each Lender's share of any payment received or applied by Administrative Agent in respect of the Loan, that payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned or paid over by Administrative Agent, whether pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency Law, sharing of payments clause of any loan agreement or otherwise, such Lender shall, at Administrative Agent's request, promptly return its share of such payment or application to Administrative Agent, together with such Lender's proportionate share of any interest or other amount required to be paid by Administrative Agent with respect to such payment or application. In addition, if a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by Administrative Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to Administrative Agent its share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court. Section 7.13. Withholding Taxes. Each Lender represents that it is entitled to receive any payments to be made to it hereunder without the withholding of any tax and will furnish to Administrative Agent such forms, certifications, statements and other documents as Administrative Agent may reasonably request from time to time to evidence such Lender's exemption from the withholding of any tax imposed by any jurisdiction or to enable Administrative Agent to comply with any applicable Laws 35 relating thereto. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, if any Lender is not created or organized under the Laws of the United States or any state thereof, such Lender will furnish to Administrative Agent Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or such other forms, certifications, statements or documents, duly executed and completed by such Lender, as evidence of such Lender's complete exemption from the withholding of United States tax with respect thereto. Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any payments hereunder to such Lender in respect of the Loan until such Lender shall have furnished to Administrative Agent the requested form, certification, statement or document. Section 7.14. Sharing of Payments among Lenders. If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of its Note or of interest thereon through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim, or by any other means (including direct payment), and such payment results in such Lender receiving a greater payment than it would have been entitled to had such payment been paid directly to Administrative Agent for disbursement to Lenders, then such Lender shall promptly purchase for cash from the other Lenders Participations in the Loan in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all Lenders shall share ratably the benefit of such payment. To such end Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of Participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. Section 7.15. Possession of Documents. Each Lender shall maintain possession of its own Note. Administrative Agent shall hold all other Loan Documents and related documents in its possession and maintain separate records and accounts with respect to the Loan, reflecting the interests of Lenders in the Loan, and shall permit Lenders and their representatives access at all reasonable times to inspect such Loan Documents, related documents, records and accounts. ARTICLE VIII GENERAL CONDITIONS AND PROVISIONS Section 8.01. Disbursement Not Waiver. The disbursement by Lenders of the Loan made prior to or without the fulfillment by Borrower of all of the conditions precedent thereto, whether or not known to Lenders, shall not constitute a waiver by Lenders of the requirement that all conditions, including the non-performed conditions, shall be satisfied. Section 8.02. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrower. All conditions of the obligations of Lenders hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lenders and may be freely waived or modified in whole or in part by Lenders at any time if in their sole discretion it deems it advisable to do so, and no person other than Borrower (provided, however, that all conditions have been satisfied) shall have standing to require Lenders to disburse the Loan or to be a beneficiary of this Agreement. 36 Section 8.03. Documentation Etc. Satisfactory. All documentation and proceedings deemed by Administrative Agent or Lenders' Counsel to be necessary or required in connection herewith and the documents relating hereto shall be subject to the prior approval of, and satisfactory to, both of them as to form and substance. In addition, the Persons responsible for the execution and delivery of, and signatories to, all of such documentation, shall be acceptable to, and subject to the approval of, Administrative Agent and Lenders' Counsel. Administrative Agent or Lenders' Counsel shall receive copies, certified if requested by either of them, of all documents which they may require in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Section 8.04. Lender's Determination Conclusive. Administrative Agent shall, at all times, be free to independently establish to its satisfaction and in its absolute discretion the existence or nonexistence of any fact or facts the existence or nonexistence of which is a condition hereof. Section 8.05. Notices. Except as expressly provided otherwise, all notices, demands, consents, approvals and statements required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or served for all purposes when presented personally, three (3) days after mailing by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or one (1) day after delivery to a nationally recognized overnight courier service providing evidence of the date of delivery, addressed to a party at its address on the signature page hereof or of the applicable Assignment and Assumption Agreement, or at such other address of which a party shall have notified the party giving such notice in writing in accordance with the foregoing requirements. Section 8.06. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or material waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor consent to any material departure by Borrower or any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the party against whom such amendment, waiver or consent is sought to be enforced (it being understood, however, that the signatures of the Required Lenders and, solely for purposes of its acknowledgement thereof, Administrative Agent, shall be sufficient to bind Lenders to any such amendment, waiver or consent), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all Lenders, do any of the following: (i) reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees due hereunder or any other amount due hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (ii) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees due hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (iii) change the definition of Required Lenders; (iv) release any material portion of the Mortgaged Property or other collateral for the Loan other than in accordance with the Loan Documents; (v) amend this Section or any other provision requiring the consent of all Lenders; (vi) release, in whole or in part, any Guarantor other than in accordance with the Loan Documents; or (vii) increase the Loan Amount. Without limiting the foregoing, acceptance by Administrative Agent or Lenders of any sum required to be paid pursuant hereto or any other Loan Document, after its due date, or in an amount less than the sum then due, shall not constitute a waiver by Administrative Agent or Lenders of their right 37 to require prompt payment when due of all other such sums or to declare a default or to exercise such other rights provided herein or in the other Loan Documents for such late or reduced payment. All communications from Administrative Agent to Lenders requesting Lenders' determination, consent, approval or disapproval (i) shall be given in the form of a written notice to each Lender, (ii) shall be accompanied by or include a description or copy of the matter or thing as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested and (iii) shall include Administrative Agent's recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Each Lender shall reply promptly, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days (or five (5) Business Days with respect to any decision to accelerate or stop acceleration of the Loan) after receipt of the request therefor by Administrative Agent (the "Lender Reply Period"). Unless a Lender shall give written notice to Administrative Agent that it objects to the recommendation or determination of Administrative Agent (together with a written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within the Lender Reply Period, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved or consented to such recommendation or determination. Section 8.07. Assignment; Participation. Any Lender may at any time grant to one or more banks or other institutions not affiliated with Borrower or Guarantor (each a "Participant") participating interests in its Pro Rata Share of the Loan (the "Participations"). In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a Participation to a Participant, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and Borrower and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations hereunder. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant a Participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of Borrower hereunder and under any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver described in clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 8.06 without the consent of the Participant. Upon request by Borrower, each Lender agrees to provide Borrower with notice of all Participations sold by such Lender. Borrower agrees to provide all assistance reasonably requested by a Lender to enable such Lender to sell Participations as aforesaid, or make assignments of its interest in the Loan as hereinafter provided in this Section. A Lender may at any time assign to any bank or other institution not affiliated with Borrower or Guarantor with the consent of Administrative Agent, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (such assignee, a "Consented Assignee"), or to one or more banks or other institutions which are majority owned subsidiaries of a Lender or of the parent of a Lender (each Consented Assignee or subsidiary bank or institution, an "Assignee") all or a proportionate part of all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and its Note, and such Assignee shall assume rights and 38 obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement executed by such Assignee and the assigning Lender, provided that, after giving effect to such assignment, in each case, the Assignee's portion of the Loan and, in the case of a partial assignment of a Lender's interest, the assigning Lender's portion of the Loan will each be equal to or greater than $5,000,000. Upon (i) execution and delivery of such instrument, (ii) payment by such Assignee to the assigning Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such Lender and such Assignee and (iii) payment by such Assignee to Administrative Agent of a fee, for Administrative Agent's own account, in the amount of $3,500, such Assignee shall be a party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, and the assigning Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this paragraph, substitute notes, in the form of EXHIBIT D, shall be issued to the assigning Lender (in the case of a partial assignment) and Assignee by Borrower, in exchange for the return of the assigning Lender's original Note. All such substitute notes shall constitute "Notes" and the obligations evidenced by such substitute notes shall constitute obligations secured by the Mortgage. In connection with Borrower's execution of substitute notes as aforesaid, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent such evidence of the due authorization, execution and delivery of the substitute notes and any related documents as Administrative Agent may reasonably request. If the Assignee is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States or a state thereof, it shall, prior to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for its account, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes in accordance with Section 7.13. Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall execute such modifications to the Loan Documents as shall, in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent, be necessary or desirable in connection with assignments in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section. Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Note to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder. Borrower recognizes that in connection with a Lender's selling of Participations or making of assignments, any or all documentation, financial statements, appraisals and other data, or copies thereof, relevant to Borrower, Guarantor or the Loan may be exhibited to and retained by any such Participant or Assignee or prospective Participant or Assignee. Section 8.08. Setoff. In addition to (and without limitation of) any right of setoff, bankers' lien or counterclaim Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have, Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be entitled, but only with the prior consent of Administrative Agent, to offset balances (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) held by it for the account of Borrower at any of Administrative Agent's or such Lender's offices against any amount payable by Borrower to 39 Administrative Agent or such Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document which is not paid when due (regardless of whether such balances are then due to Borrower), in which case it shall promptly notify Borrower and (in the case of a Lender) Administrative Agent thereof; provided, however, that Administrative Agent's or such Lender's failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof. Payments by Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim. Section 8.09. Successors and Assigns. Except as herein provided, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower, without the prior written consent of Lender in each instance, may not assign, transfer or set over to another, in whole or in part, all or any part of its benefits, rights, duties and obligations hereunder, including, but not limited to, performance of and compliance with conditions hereof and the right to receive the proceeds of the Loan. Section 8.10. Severability. The provisions hereof are intended to be severable. Any provisions hereof, or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance, which, for any reason, in whole or in part, is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof (or the remaining portions of such provision) or the application thereof to any other Person or circumstance, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision (or portion thereof) or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance in any other jurisdiction. Section 8.11. Non-Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on Lender's part in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege (hereinafter in this Section, each a "Remedy") hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver of any such Remedy or shall be deemed to constitute Administrative Agent's or any Lender's acquiescence in any default by Borrower or Guarantor under any of said documents. A waiver by Administrative Agent or any Lender of any Remedy hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any other or future exercise thereof or of any other Remedy. The Remedies provided in said documents are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any Remedies provided therein or by Law. Section 8.12. Certain Waivers. Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives (i) promptness and diligence, (ii) notice of any actions taken by Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating hereto or thereto except to the extent otherwise provided herein, (iii) all other notices, demands and protests, and all other formalities of every kind in connection with the enforcement of Borrower's obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the omission of or delay in which, but for the provisions of this Section, might constitute grounds for relieving Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, (iv) any requirement that 40 Administrative Agent or any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any lien on any collateral for the Loan or exhaust any right or take any action against Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral for the Loan, (v) any right or claim of right to cause a marshalling of Borrower's assets and (vi) all rights of subrogation or contribution, whether arising by contract or operation of law or otherwise by reason of payment by Borrower pursuant hereto or to any other Loan Document. BORROWER FURTHER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY OR ON BEHALF OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR LENDERS WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR OTHERWISE IN RESPECT OF THE LOAN, ANY AND EVERY RIGHT BORROWER MAY HAVE TO (W) INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, (X) A TRIAL BY JURY, (Y) INTERPOSE ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN, OTHER THAN A COMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM, AND (Z) HAVE THE SAME CONSOLIDATED WITH ANY OTHER OR SEPARATE SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. NOTHING CONTAINED IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SENTENCE SHALL PREVENT OR PROHIBIT BORROWER FROM INSTITUTING OR MAINTAINING A SEPARATE ACTION AGAINST ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR LENDERS WITH RESPECT TO ANY ASSERTED CLAIM. Section 8.13. Expenses; Indemnification. The Loan shall be made without cost to Lender. Borrower covenants and agrees to pay all costs, expenses and charges (including, without limitation, all fees and charges of engineers, appraisers, the Engineering Consultant and Lenders' Counsel) incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with (i) the preparation for and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or for the performance hereof and of the other Loan Documents, and for any services which may be required in addition to those normally and reasonably contemplated hereby and (ii) the enforcement hereof or of any or all of the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be responsible for (1) the fees and expenses of legal counsel for Lenders other than Fleet incurred in connection with said counsel's review of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents prior to execution and (2) costs, expenses and charges incurred by Administrative Agent and Lenders in connection with the administration or syndication of the Loan. If Borrower fails to pay promptly any costs, charges or expense required to be paid by it as aforesaid, and Administrative Agent or any Lender pays such costs, charges or expenses, Borrower shall reimburse Administrative Agent or such Lender, as appropriate, on demand for the amounts so paid, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate. Borrower further agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from, and hold each of them harmless against, (x) any and all losses arising out of or by reason of any investigation or litigation or other proceedings (including any threatened investigation or litigation or other proceedings) relating to any actual or proposed use by Borrower of the proceeds of the Loan, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceedings and (y) any and all claims, actions, suits, proceedings, costs, expenses, losses, damages and liabilities of any kind, including in tort, penalties and interest, arising out or by reason of any matter relating, directly or indirectly, to the Mortgage or the ownership, condition, development, 41 construction, sale, rental or financing of the Property or Improvements or any part thereof (but excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses incurred solely by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified). The obligations of Borrower under this Section and under Sections 3.01, 3.03 and 6.08 shall survive the repayment of all amounts due under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents and the termination of the Loan. Section 8.14. Gross-Up For Taxes. All payments made by Borrower under the Note and other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding income taxes and franchise or other taxes (imposed in lieu of income taxes) imposed on Lender as a result of a present or former connection between Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from Lender's having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or the Note). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings ("Non-Excluded Taxes") is required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender under the Note or other Loan Documents, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable with respect to the Loan at the rates or in the amounts specified in the Note or other Loan Documents. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter Borrower shall send to Lender a certified copy of an original official receipt received by Borrower showing payment thereof. If Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Borrower shall indemnify Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Note and all other amounts payable in respect of the Loan. Section 8.15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and any party hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. Section 8.16. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall in all respects be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to New York's principles of conflicts of law). Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court sitting in The City of New York (or any county in New York State where any portion of the Property is located) over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and Borrower hereby agrees and consents that, in addition to any methods of service of process provided for under applicable Law, all service of process in any such suit, action or proceeding in any New York State or 42 Federal court sitting in The City of New York (or such other county in New York State) may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, directed to Borrower at the address indicated on the cover page hereof, and service so made shall be complete five (5) days after the same shall have been so mailed. Section 8.17. Integration. The Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement among Administrative Agent, Borrower and Lenders relating to the transactions contemplated thereby (except with respect to agreements among Lenders or with Administrative Agent relating solely to compensation, consideration and the syndication of the Loan) and supersede any prior oral or written statements or agreements with respect to such transactions. Section 8.18. Releases. Provided no Default or Event of Default exists, Borrower shall have the right to obtain the release of any of the Properties from the Mortgage encumbering the same, at Borrower's expense, so long as (i) Borrower pays to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the greater of (A) the Release Price for the Property that is the subject of such release and (B) the amount necessary to reduce the Loan to an amount which satisfies the DSC Test on the basis of Net Operating Income from the parcels not being released or (y) the then outstanding principal amount of the Loan, which amount shall be applied to the reduction of outstanding principal under the Loan, (ii) Administrative Agent receives such reasonable documentation as Administrative Agent shall request confirming that the amount of any Additional Interest secured by the Mortgage encumbering the Property which is being released shall be secured by the credit of Guarantor, and (iii) Administrative Agent receives such other documents, opinions and assurances as Administrative Agent may reasonably request. Upon any such release of a Property, such Property shall no longer constitute a "Property" hereunder. Section 8.19. Exculpation. Neither Borrower nor any Guarantor shall be personally liable for payment of the principal of the Note or interest thereon, and in the event of any failure by Borrower to pay any portion of such principal or interest, Lenders will look, with respect to the then outstanding balance of such principal and interest, solely to the Mortgaged Property and such other collateral as has been, or hereafter shall be, given to secure payment of the Note. The foregoing limitation on liability shall not impair or otherwise affect the validity or enforceability of (a) the debt evidenced by the Note or the Loan Agreement or of any other obligations evidenced by the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage or any of the Loan Documents or (b) Lenders' liens, security interests, rights and remedies (including, without limitation, the remedies of foreclosure and/or sale) with respect to the Mortgaged Property or any other property, security, collateral and/or assets (including the proceeds thereof) encumbered, pledged or assigned by the Mortgages or any other security for the Loan. In addition, the foregoing limitation on liability shall not limit anyone's obligations or be applicable with respect to: (i) liability under any guaranty(ies) or indemnity(ies) delivered or afforded to Lenders; (ii) any fraud or material misrepresentation; (iii) taxes of any kind (whether characterized as transfer, gains or other taxes) payable in connection with the foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property, irrespective of who pays such taxes; (iv) application of any proceeds of the Loan to any purpose other than as provided in the Loan Documents; 43 (v) the application of any insurance or condemnation proceeds or other funds or payments other than strictly in accordance with the Loan Documents; (vi) the misapplication of any security deposits; (vii) rents, sales proceeds, or other sums received after default under the Loan Documents which are not applied to expenses of operating the Mortgaged Property or paid to Lenders or a duly appointed receiver of the Mortgaged Property; (viii) any failure to deliver to Lenders, after demand therefor, any agreements relating to the operation, management, leasing, use, occupancy or construction of the Mortgaged Property; (ix) any intentional physical waste in respect of the Mortgaged Property; (x) any failure to pay or discharge any real estate tax, other tax, assessment, fine, penalty or lien against the Mortgaged Property to the extent revenue from leases of the Mortgaged Property was available to pay same; (xi) liability as landlord under any lease(s) relating to the Mortgaged Property which liability accrued prior to Lenders' succeeding to such interest of Borrower, which Lenders are or become obligated for by virtue of Lenders succeeding to the interests of Borrower, provided, however, that such liability shall only apply with respect to any liability of Borrower under such leases which Lenders assumes pursuant to subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements required pursuant to the terms of such leases; (xii) liability under any agreement relating to the operation or maintenance of the Mortgaged Property which liability accrued prior to Lenders' succeeding to such interest of Borrower which Lenders are or become obligated for by virtue of Lenders succeeding to the interests of Borrower, provided, however, that such liability shall only apply with respect to agreements which are not terminable by their terms upon thirty (30) days' written notice; (xiii) liability to pay for the premiums on and keep in full force and effect insurance in respect of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the Loan Documents to the extent revenue from leases of the Mortgaged Property was available to pay same; or (xiv) liability for Hazardous Substances that may exist upon or be discharged from the Mortgaged Property. Borrower and any Guarantor shall in any event be and shall remain personally liable for each of the matters to which reference is made in the preceding sentence and Lenders may seek, obtain and enforce one or more money judgments in any appropriate proceeding(s) with respect thereto. The limitation on personal liability contained in this paragraph shall become automatically null and void and shall be of no further force or effect, and Borrower and each Guarantor shall be and remain personally liable for payment of the principal of the Note and interest thereon, in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Loan Agreement, in the event that Borrower, or anyone acting on behalf of Borrower, shall (A) file a petition or answer seeking any relief of any kind under the bankruptcy laws of the United States (or if an Insolvency Event shall otherwise occur), (B) assert in writing or in any legal proceedings of any kind that any provisions of any of the Loan Documents are in whole or in part unenforceable, invalid or not legally binding, or (C) fail fully to cooperate with Lenders or a receiver in Lenders' or such receiver's efforts to collect Rents directly from tenants after a default under the Loan Documents. Section 8.20. Letters of Credit. (a) Borrower, with the consent of the Required Lenders, may request, in lieu of advances of proceeds of the Loan, that Administrative Agent issue unconditional, irrevocable standby letters of credit (each, a "Letter of Credit") for the account of 44 Borrower. Promptly upon Borrower's request for, and then upon issuance of, a Letter of Credit, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender. (b) The amount of any Letter of Credit shall be limited to the amount of proceeds of the Loan available to be advanced hereunder, it being understood that the amount of each Letter of Credit issued and outstanding shall effect a reduction, by an equal amount, of proceeds available to Borrower under the Loan. Administrative Agent's issuance of each Letter of Credit shall be subject to Borrower having satisfied all conditions precedent to its entitlement to an advance of Loan proceeds. Each Letter of Credit shall expire no later than one (1) month prior to the Maturity Date. If the Letter of Credit is returned undrawn upon or expires without being drawn upon, then the amount of Loan proceeds allocated to the Letter of Credit shall again become available to be advanced with the terms hereof. (c) In connection with, and as a further condition to the issuance of, each Letter of Credit, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an application for the Letter of Credit on Administrative Agent's standard form therefor, together with such other documents, opinions and assurances as Administrative Agent shall reasonably require, and shall pay such fees as Administrative Agent shall require. (d) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, immediately upon notice from Administrative Agent of any drawing under a Letter of Credit, each Lender shall, notwithstanding the existence of a Default or Event of Default or the non-satisfaction of any conditions precedent to the making of an advance of the Loan, advance proceeds of the Loan, in an amount equal to its ratable share (based upon the undisbursed amounts of the Lenders' respective Individual Loan Commitments) of such drawing, which advance shall be made to Administrative Agent to reimburse Administrative Agent, for its own account, for such drawing. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lenders to make such advances. Each Lender further acknowledges that its obligation to fund its share of drawings under Letters of Credit as aforesaid shall survive the Lenders' termination of this Agreement or enforcement of remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. In the event that any advance cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy or insolvency Law with respect to Borrower), then each Lender shall purchase (on or as of the date such advance would otherwise have been made) from Administrative Agent a participation interest in any unreimbursed drawing in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such unreimbursed drawing. (e) Borrower agrees, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at the written request of Administrative Agent, (i) to deposit with Administrative Agent cash collateral in the amount of all the outstanding Letters of Credit, which cash collateral shall be held by Administrative Agent as security for Borrower's obligations in connection with the Letters of Credit and (ii) to execute and deliver to Administrative Agent such documents as Administrative Agent reasonably requests to confirm and perfect the assignment of such cash collateral to Administrative Agent. 45 (f) In connection with each Letter of Credit, Borrower hereby covenants to pay to Administrative Agent the following fees, payable quarterly in arrears (on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter following the issuance of the Letter of Credit): (1) a fee (the "Lenders L/C Fee") for the account of Lenders, computed daily on the amount of the Letter of Credit issued and outstanding at a per annum rate equal to 0.85% and (2) a fee (the "Fronting Fee") for Administrative Agent's own account, computed daily on the amount of the Letter of Credit issued and outstanding at a rate per annum equal to 0.15%. It is understood and agreed that the last installment of the foregoing fees provided for in this paragraph (f) with respect to any particular Letter of Credit shall be due and payable on the first day of the calendar quarter following the return, undrawn, or cancellation, of such Letter of Credit. In addition, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent's customary administrative fees in connection with the issuance, extension, amendment and drawing of all Letters of Credit. (g) Borrower and Lender agree that that certain Letter of Credit no. YS64127702 in the amount of $1,415,465 dated April 19, 2004 upon the application of Town Line Borrower (the "Town Line L/C") shall constitute a Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lender acknowledges that with respect to the reissuance of the Town Line L/C Borrower has prepaid a separate annual fee in lieu of the Lenders L/C Fee and the Fronting Fee and no Lenders L/C Fee or Fronting Fee shall be due or payable with respect to such Letter of Credit for the one year period following its issuance. Section 8.21. Concerning Irrevocable Authorizations. Any and all advances made at any time by Lenders pursuant to the irrevocable authorizations granted by Section 8.20 shall require no further direction, authorization or request for disbursement from Borrower and may be made whether or not there exists a Default or Event of Default. Any and all such disbursements shall be added to the outstanding principal balance evidenced by the Notes and shall be secured by the Mortgage. [Remainder of page intentionally left blank] 46 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed and delivered this Agreement as of the day and year first above written, the execution hereof by Borrower constituting a certification by the party or parties executing on its behalf that the representations and warranties made in Article IV are true and correct as of the date hereof and that each of them duly holds and is incumbent in the position indicated under his or her name.

Assignor desires to assign to Assignee all of the rights of Assignor under the Loan Agreement in respect of a portion of Assignor's Loan Commitment and the loan made pursuant thereto, such portion being in an amount equal to $____________ (the "Assigned Loan and Commitment"), of which $____________ is currently outstanding and $____________ is still to be disbursed to Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement; and Assignee desires to accept assignment of such rights and assume the corresponding obligations from Assignor on such terms. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: SECTION 1. Assignment. Assignor hereby assigns and sells to Assignee all of the rights of Assignor under the Loan Agreement in and to the Assigned Loan and Commitment, and Assignee hereby accepts such assignment from Assignor and assumes all of the obligations of Assignor under the Loan Agreement with respect to the Assigned Loan and Commitment, including, without limitation, Assignor's obligations with respect to the undisbursed portion, if any, thereof. Upon the execution and delivery hereof by Assignor, Assignee, Administrative Agent and the payment of the amount specified in Section 2 hereof required to be paid on the date hereof, (1) Assignee shall, as of the commencement of business on the date hereof, succeed to the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Agreement with an Individual Loan Commitment in an amount equal to the Assigned Loan and Commitment, and (2) the Individual Loan Commitment of Assignor shall, as of the commencement of business on the date hereof, be reduced correspondingly and Assignor released from its obligations under the Loan Agreement to the extent such obligations have been assumed by Assignee.

Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, the assignment provided for herein shall be without representation or warranty by, or recourse to, Assignor. SECTION 2. Payments.

[CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE MORTGAGE, THE TEXT OF WHICH ARE ATTACHED HERETO, RESTRICT SOME OF THE UNDERSIGNED'S RIGHTS UNDER THE LEASE. HOWEVER, S][S]aid assignment does not impair or diminish any of our obligations to you under the provisions of the Lease, nor are any such obligations imposed upon Lender, its successors or assigns. Pursuant to said assignment you are hereby notified that in the event of a demand on you by Lender or its successors and assigns for the payment to it of the rents due under the Lease, you may, and are hereby authorized and directed to, pay said rent to Lender and we hereby agree that the receipt by you of such a demand shall be conclusive evidence of Lender's right to the receipt thereof and that the payment of the rents by you to Lender pursuant to such demand shall constitute performance in full of your obligation under the Lease for the payment of rent to the undersigned. ________________________________ NOTE: To be sent in accordance with notice requirements of the Lease. * To be used if property located in New York Kindly indicate your receipt of this letter and your agreement to the effect set forth below by signing the enclosed copy thereof and mailing it to Lender at its address identified above to the attention of its Real Estate Finance Office.

[NAME OF TENANT] By ------------------------------------ --------------------, its authorized officer 2 EXHIBIT C Required Contents of Borrower's Counsel Opinion (1) If Borrower, the mortgagor or grantor under the Mortgage (if different from Borrower), Guarantor or any general partner or member of any of them is a corporation, partnership, venture, limited liability company or trust, each such entity is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, is qualified to do business (or such opinion shall specifically state that such qualification is not required) and is in good standing in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located, and has full power and authority to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and to execute, deliver and perform all Loan Documents to which it is a party. (2) There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened against or affecting Borrower, Guarantor, the Mortgaged Property, the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage or the priority of the lien thereof at law, in equity or before or by any Governmental Authorities except actions, suits or proceedings which have been disclosed to Lender in writing and which are fully covered by insurance or would, if adversely determined, not substantially impair the ability of Borrower or Guarantor to pay when due any amounts which may become payable under the Note or Guaranty or to otherwise pay and perform their respective obligations in connection with the Loan; neither Borrower nor Guarantor is in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court or Governmental Authorities. (3) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by and the performance of the Loan Documents have not resulted and will not result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, any mortgage, deed of trust, lease, bank loan or credit agreement, corporate charter, by-laws, partnership agreement or other instrument to which Borrower or Guarantor is a party or by which either of them may be bound or affected. (4) There exist no violations of any laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, orders, regulations or requirements of any Governmental Authorities with respect to the Improvements and that the use thereof complies with all applicable zoning and other laws, etc. and with all restrictions, covenants, leases and easements affecting the Mortgaged Property. (5) The Property is not part of a larger tract of land owned by Borrower, its affiliates or Guarantor, or otherwise considered as part of one zoning or tax lot, or, if they are, that any authorization or variance required for the subdivision of such larger tract which a sale of the Property would entail has been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities so that the Property and Improvements constitute one zoning or tax lot (including parking and utility facilities and street access, if relevant) capable of being conveyed as such. Required Contents of Borrower's Local Counsel Opinion (and, if required by Lender, of a local counsel selected by Lender or its counsel) (1) The Loan Documents have each been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto (other than Lender) and, under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Property is located (were such laws to apply), are valid and binding instruments enforceable against such parties in accordance with their respective terms, subject, however, to the qualifications that (a) some of the rights and remedies set forth in the Note and Mortgage may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general application to the enforcement of creditors' rights and (b) certain remedies and waivers contained in the Mortgage may be limited by applicable laws of said jurisdiction, none of which qualifications will materially interfere with the practical realization of the benefits and security provided by said documents except for the economic consequences of any procedural delay which may result therefrom. (2) Considering the significant relationship that the State of New York has to the Loan, the courts of the jurisdiction in which the Property is located will, in all likelihood, honor any designations by the parties of New York as the governing law contained in the Loan Documents. (3) The Mortgage will create the lien it purports to create on the property covered by the Mortgage and will effectively assign the leases purported to be assigned thereby if the Mortgage and any necessary UCC-1 financing statements are recorded or filed, as the case may be, and specifying local law requirements as to (1) the manner in which, and offices where, such recording and filing must be made and (2) the re-recording of the Mortgage and refiling of the financing statements, all in order to establish, preserve and protect such lien and assignment and Lender's interest in the property covered by the Mortgage. (4) In the event of a foreclosure or other method of enforcement of the remedies provided for in the Mortgage, any leases of the Mortgaged Property will, at the option of the holder of the Mortgage, remain in full force and effect between the lessees thereunder and such holder or any purchaser of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to such remedial action. The opinion shall state whether the foregoing results as a matter of law or by reason of compliance with Section 1.14(c) of the Mortgage. (5) All rights of redemption in respect of the Mortgage will be extinguished upon the consummation of a sale of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to any remedial provisions provided for in the Mortgage, [or if the foregoing is not the case, the opinion shall specify the period of time which must expire following such consummation in order for said rights of redemption to be extinguished under local law, and shall state whether the applicable result obtains as a matter of law or pursuant to any waiver provided for in the Mortgage]. (6) There are no changes or additions to the Mortgage and other Loan Documents which are required by local law, and none which are customary in local 2 practice and which would not unsubstantially enhance the rights and benefits of Lender thereunder. (7) To such other effects as Lender or its counsel may reasonably require. 3 EXHIBIT D Note $_______________ New York, New York ____________, 200__ For value received, [NAME OF BORROWER], a ____________________________ ("Maker") hereby covenants and promises to pay to the order of [NAME OF LENDER] or its successors or assigns (collectively, "Lender"), at the principal office of [NAME OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT] located at _________________________________ ("Administrative Agent") for the account of the Applicable Lending Office of Lender, the principal sum of _________________________ Dollars ($____________),in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds, in accordance with the terms set forth in the Loan Agreement. Maker also covenants and promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof, for the period such balance is outstanding, in like money, at said office for the account of said Applicable Lending Office, at the time and at a rate per annum as provided in the Loan Agreement (as defined below). Any amount or principal hereof which is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, shall bear interest from the date when due until said principal amount is paid in full, payable on demand, at the Default Rate. This Note is one of the Notes referred to in the Term Loan Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Loan Agreement") among Maker, as Borrower, the lenders named therein (including Lender), as Lenders, and Administrative Agent, as Administrative Agent for Lenders. All of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference. All capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement. This Note is secured by the Mortgage which contains, among other things, provisions for the prepayment of and acceleration of this Note upon the happening of certain stated events. Reference to the Mortgage is hereby made for a description of the "Mortgaged Property" encumbered thereby and the rights of Maker and Lenders (including Lender) with respect to such Mortgaged Property. Maker agrees that it shall be bound by any agreement extending the time or modifying the terms of payment set forth above and in the Loan Agreement, made by or on behalf of Lenders and the owner or owners of the Mortgaged Property, whether with or without notice to Maker, and Maker shall continue liable to pay the amount due hereunder in accordance with the terms set forth herein and in the Loan Agreement, but with interest at a rate no greater than the rate of interest provided therein, according to the terms of any such agreement of extension or modification. Should the indebtedness represented by this Note or any part thereof be collected at law or in equity, or in bankruptcy, receivership or any other court proceeding (whether at the trial or appellate level), or should this Note be placed in the hands of attorneys for collection upon default, Maker agrees to pay, in addition to the principal, interest and other sums due and payable hereon, all costs of collecting or attempting to collect this Note, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. All parties to this Note, whether principal, surety, guarantor or endorser, hereby waive presentment for payment, demand, protest, notice of protest and notice of dishonor. This Note shall be governed by the Laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to New York's principles of conflicts of law), provided that, as to the maximum lawful rate of interest which may be charged or collected, if the Laws applicable to Lender permit it to charge or collect a higher rate than the Laws of the State of New York, then such Law applicable to Lender shall apply to Lender under this Note.
