PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

Acadia Realty Trust (the “Company”) 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 62 properties, which it owns or has an ownership interest in, consisting of 58 neighborhood and community shopping centers, 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 nine 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, 2003, the Company controlled 96% 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”.

A total of 2,212 Series A Preferred OP 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 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 Preferred OP Unit or (ii) the quarterly distribution attributable to a Preferred OP Unit if such unit were converted into a Common OP Unit. The 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 Preferred OP 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 Preferred OP Units were outstanding as of December 31, 2003 following the conversion of 632 Preferred OP Units to Common OP Units during 2003.

On January 27, 2004, the Operating Partnership issued 4,000 Series B Preferred 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. These 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 Preferred OP Unit or (ii) the quarterly distribution attributable to a Preferred OP Unit if such unit were converted into a Common OP Unit. The Preferred OP 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 Preferred OP Units may redeem them at par for either cash or Common OP Units (at the Company’s option) after the earlier of the third anniversary of their issuance, or the occurrence of certain events including a change in control of the Company. Finally, after the fifth anniversary of the issuance, the Company may redeem the Preferred OP 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 Preferred OP Units at any time for cash.

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.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On January 27, 2004, the Company entered into a venture (the “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 Venture is expected to be approximately $300 million in equity based on anticipated investments of approximately $1 billion. The Venture is currently exploring investment opportunities, but has not yet made any commitments. Each participant in the Venture has the right to opt out of any potential investment. The Company and its current acquisition fund, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund (“ASOF”), as well as possible subsequent joint venture funds sponsored by the Company, anticipate investing 20% of the equity of the 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). Profits earned on up to $20.0 million of the Company’s contributed capital is not subject to Klaff’s Promote. The Company will also earn market-rate fees for property management, leasing and construction services on behalf of the Venture.

The Company has also 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 Preferred OP Units to Klaff in consideration of this acquisition as discussed in further detail under Item 1. - Business – General of this Form 10-K.

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

Operating and Growth Strategies

Currently, the primary conduits for the Company’s acquisition program is through its existing acquisition joint venture, ASOF, as well as the new Venture established to invest in surplus or underutilized properties owned or controlled by retailers as discussed under “Recent Developments”.

Through ASOF, the Company focuses 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 considers 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 focuses on potential acquisitions within these geographic areas, it would consider portfolio acquisitions outside its current geographic footprint.

Through the new Venture, the Company will seek to invest opportunistically in any of 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.

Back to Contents

The Company also regularly engages in discussions with public and private entities regarding business combinations. Furthermore, the Company may consider 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 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. The Operating Departments involvement in acquisitions is an essential component to the acquisition program. 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, supermarkets 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 THROUGH ASOF

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. Since the formation of ASOF, the Company has used it as the primary vehicle for the acquisitions of assets.

The Company is the manager and general partner of ASOF 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 market-rate fees for property management, leasing and construction services.

To date, ASOF has purchased a total of 30 assets in three separate transactions. Details of these transactions are as follows:

2003 Acquisitions

Brandywine Portfolio - In January of 2003, ASOF 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 99% 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. 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. ASOF will also pay additional amounts for the current vacant space in Phase II when and if it is leased and occupied (the “Earn-out”). The additional investment, depending on the Earn-out, is projected to be between $42.0 million and $62.0 million.

Kroger/Safeway Portfolio – In January of 2003, ASOF 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 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.

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.

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 2003, the Company substantially completed the redevelopment of three shopping centers and added an additional project to its redevelopment pipeline as follows:

Gateway Shopping Center – The redevelopment of the Gateway Shopping Center, formerly a partially enclosed mini-mall with an undersized Grand Union, included the demolition of 90% of the existing building and the construction of a new anchor supermarket. The center has been converted into a new open-air community shopping center anchored with a 72,000 square foot Shaw’s supermarket which opened during March of 2003. Approximately 11,000 square feet of small shop space remains to be leased at the property. Total costs for this project, including the original acquisition costs, aggregated $17.9 million.

Plaza 422 – Home Depot held its grand opening during fourth quarter of 2003 at the Plaza 422 redevelopment project located in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. The expansion of the former 83,000 square foot Ames space to a 104,000 square foot Home Depot included the recapture and demolition of the formerly enclosed portion of this center. The Company is now collecting triple the base rent of that which was paid by Ames. In connection with the redevelopment project, the Company also recaptured another 48,000 square feet of space, for which re-leasing is currently underway. The majority of redevelopment costs were paid directly by Home Depot. The Company’s share of costs for this project totaled $402,000.

New Loudon Center – The Bon Ton Department Store also opened for business during the fourth quarter of 2003 as part of the redevelopment of the New Loudon Center located in Latham, New York. 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. In addition, the Company has leased the balance of the former Ames space to Marshall’s, an existing tenant at the center, which will be expanding its current 26,000 square foot store to 37,000 square feet. The Company will also install a new 49,000 square foot Raymour and Flanigan Furniture store at this center. Following the completion of this project in mid-2004, this community shopping center will be 100% occupied. Costs incurred to date by the Company for this project totaled $418,000. The remaining costs to complete this redevelopment project are to be paid directly by the above tenants.

Town Line Plaza – This project, located in Rocky Hill, Connecticut, was added to the Company’s redevelopment pipeline in December of 2003. The Company is re-anchoring the center with a new Super Stop & Shop supermarket, replacing a former GU Markets supermarket. The existing building is being demolished and will be 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. Costs to date for this project totaled $1.7 million. All remaining redevelopment costs associated with this project, which is anticipated to be completed during the first quarter of 2005, are to be paid by Stop & Shop.

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 112 employees, of which 52 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.

Copies of these documents are available in the Investor Information section of the Company’s website.

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 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. For example, Kmart Corporation (“Kmart”), which represents 4.3% of the Company’s annual base rental income, filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the United States bankruptcy laws (“Chapter 11 Bankruptcy”) and while it did not do so, it could have rejected its leases. 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 ASOF joint venture, the Company is required to first offer to ASOF all of the Company’s opportunities to acquire retail shopping centers. Only if (i) the Company’s joint venture partner elects not to approve ASOF’s pursuit of an acquisition opportunity (ii) the ownership of the acquisition opportunity by ASOF 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 ASOF.

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 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 $2.8 million and $2.7 million for the years ended December 31, 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 $558,000 and $564,000 for the years ended December 31, 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 $516,000 and $493,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Penn Traffic also operated in a location occupying 55,000 square feet at a property in which the Company, through ASOF, holds a 22% ownership interest. The Company’s pro-rata share of rental revenues from the tenant at this location were $147,000 and $36,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Penn Traffic continues to operate in the Company’s wholly-owned location, but has neither assumed nor rejected this lease. Penn Traffic has ceased operations at the joint venture location and rejected the lease at this location on February 20, 2004.

On January 14, 2004, KB Toys (“KB”) filed for protection under Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. KB operates in five locations in the Company’s wholly-owned portfolio totaling approximately 41,000 square feet. Rental revenues from KB at these locations aggregated $739,000 and $724,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. KB also operates in a location occupying 20,000 square feet at a property in which the Company holds a 22% ownership interest. Through ASOF, the Company’s pro-rata share of rental revenues from the tenant at this location were $87,000 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. KB continues to operate in the Company’s wholly-owned location, but has ceased operations at the joint venture location. KB has neither assumed nor rejected any of these leases.

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 48.1% 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 demand 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.

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, 2003, loans secured by five of the Company’s properties, totaling $50.7 million, are subject to cross-collateralization and cross-default provisions, loans secured by three other properties, aggregating $12.0 million, are also subject to cross-collateralization and cross- default provisions and two loans, aggregating $24.1 million, are also subject to cross- collateralization and cross-default provisions.

Of the Company’s total outstanding debt, $57.8 million will become due in 2005. 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 $578,000 annually if the interest rate on the refinanced debt increased by 100 basis points. Furthermore, interest expense on the Company’s variable debt as of December 31, 2003 would increase by $340,000 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.

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 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.

Back to Contents

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 distribute 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.

Concentration of ownership by certain investors.

Yale University currently owns or controls 8.8 million of the Company’s Common Shares, representing 32.2% of the Company’s total outstanding voting securities. However, the Company and Yale have established a voting trust whereby all shares that Yale owns in excess of 30% of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares, will be voted in the same proportion as all other shares voted, excluding Yale. In addition, three other shareholders own more than 5% individually, and 20.1% 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.

ITEM 2.    PROPERTIES

SHOPPING CENTER PROPERTIES

The discussion and tables in Item 2 includes six 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 Item 1. – Property Acquisitions, as the majority of these properties are free-standing and all are triple-net leases.

As of December 31, 2003, the Company owned and operated 35 shopping centers as part of its wholly-owned portfolio and the Joint Venture Portfolio, which included a mixed-use property (retail and residential) and three properties under redevelopment. The Company’s shopping centers, which total approximately 6.5 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”), are located in 12 states and are generally well-established, anchored community and neighborhood shopping centers. The properties are diverse in size, ranging from approximately 31,000 to 614,000 square feet with an average size of 185,000 square feet. As of December 31, 2003, the Company’s wholly-owned portfolio and the Joint Venture Portfolio were approximately 88% and 98% occupied, respectively. The Company’s shopping centers are typically anchored by supermarkets or value-oriented retail.

The Company had approximately 500 leases as of December 31, 2003, of which 63%, 24% and 13% of the rental revenues received therefrom were from national, regional and local tenants, respectively. 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 92% of the Company’s total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003.

As of December 31, 2003, approximately 50% 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 2003 revenues of the Company.

Four 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 three locations and is responsible for all costs and expenses associated with the building and improvements at all four locations.

No individual property contributed in excess of 10% of the Company’s total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001.

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.

ITEM 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In 2002, the Company settled its lawsuit against The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company (“A&P”) which had been filed in July 2001. The terms of the settlement are subject to a confidentiality agreement. The Company had alleged that A&P defaulted under its lease at the Elmwood Park Shopping Center by failing to accept delivery of its site at the center. The Company believed A&P wrongfully refused acceptance of the site and sought to have the Court declare the lease in default, terminate the lease and accelerate the rent that totaled approximately $24.4 million over the 20 year lease term.

The Company is involved in other various matters of litigation arising in the normal course of business. While the Company is unable to predict with certainty the amounts involved, management is 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.

ITEM 4.   SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise during the fourth quarter of 2003.

PART II

ITEM 5.   MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS

(a)   Market Information

The following table shows, for the period indicated, the high and low sales price for the Common Shares as reported on the New York Stock Exchange, and cash dividends paid during the two years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002.

December 31, 2002   7.79     6.77     0.13  

At March 12, 2004, there were 288 holders of record of the Company’s Common Shares.

(b)   Dividends

The Company has determined that 100% of the total dividends distributed to shareholders in 2003 represented ordinary income. 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 12, 2004, the Company had repurchased 1,899,486 Common Shares (net of 155,199 shares reissued) at a total cost of $11.6 million. 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, 2003.

Notes:
   
(1)  For 1999 through 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 (or losses) from sales of 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 (or losses) from sales of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company historically had added back impairments in real estate in calculating FFO, in accordance with prior NAREIT guidance. However, NAREIT, based on discussions with the SEC, has provided revised guidance that provides that impairments should not be added back to net income in calculating FFO. As such, historical FFO has been restated consistent with this revised guidance. 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 62 properties, which it owns or has an ownership interest in, consisting of 58 neighborhood and community shopping centers, 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 nine 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 an disciplined and opportunistic acquisition program. The primary conduits for the Company’s acquisition program are through its existing acquisition joint venture, ASOF, as well as the new venture established to invest in surplus or underutilized properties owned or controlled by retailers as discussed under Item 1. Business - Recent Developments in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
   
    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, 2003 (“2003”) to the year ended December 31, 2002 (“2002”)

Total revenues increased $98,000 to $69.4 million for 2003 compared to $69.3 million for 2002.

Minimum rents increased $1.7 million, or 3%, to $50.2 million for 2003 compared to $48.5 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 $2.1 million, or 19%, from $11.4 million for 2002 to $13.5 million for 2003. CAM expense reimbursements increased $1.6 million, or 34%, from $4.7 million in 2002 to $6.3 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 $457,000 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.

Other income increased $97,000, or 3%, from $3.9 million in 2002 to $4.0 million in 2003. 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 and an increase of $527,000 in management fee income received from ASOF in 2003. These increases were partially offset by 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.

Total operating expenses increased $6.6 million, or 14%, to $52.6 million for 2003, from $46.0 million for 2002.

Property operating expenses increased $2.9 million, or 24%, to $15.2 million for 2003 compared to $12.3 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 $352,000, or 4%, from $8.4 million in 2002 to $8.8 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 $561,000, 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 $3.1 million, or 21%, from $14.8 million for 2002 to $17.9 million for 2003. Depreciation expense increased $3.5 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 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 $443,000, which was primarily attributable to the write-off of deferred leasing costs during 2002 related to certain tenant leases.

Interest expense of $11.2 million for 2003 increased $214,000, or 2%, from $11.0 million for 2002. This was primarily attributable to a decrease of $528,000 in capitalized interest in 2003 and a $198,000 increase in interest expense as a result of higher average interest rates on the portfolio debt for 2003. These increases were offset by a $512,000 decrease resulting from lower average outstanding borrowings during 2003.

Income from discontinued operations decreased $7.9 million due to the timing of property sales in 2002.

Back to Contents

Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2002 (“2002”) to the year ended December 31, 2001 (“2001”)

Total revenues increased $8.0 million, or 13%, to $69.3 million for 2002 compared to $61.3 million for 2001.

Minimum rents increased $1.4 million, or 3%, to $48.5 million for 2002 compared to $47.1 million for 2001. This increase was attributable to increases in rents from re-tenanting activities and contractual rent increases for existing tenants offset by a decrease in rents following certain tenant bankruptcies.

Percentage rents decreased $117,000, or 10%, to $1.1 million for 2002 compared to $1.2 million for 2001. This decrease was primarily attributable to certain tenant bankruptcies and tenants experiencing lower sales volume.

In total, expense reimbursements increased $535,000, or 5%, from $10.9 million for 2001 to $11.4 million for 2002. Common area maintenance (“CAM”) expense reimbursements, which comprise the majority of the variance between years, increased $511,000, or 12%, from $4.2 million in 2001 to $4.7 million in 2002. This resulted primarily from tenant reimbursement of higher insurance costs experienced throughout the portfolio and an increase in tenant reimbursement due to increased portfolio occupancy in 2002.

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.

Other income increased $2.4 million, or 154%, from $1.5 million in 2001 to $3.9 million in 2002. This was primarily due to an increase of $795,000 in asset and property management fees earned in 2002 from ASOF, $1.0 million in interest earned on purchase money notes from the sales of properties in 2002 and an increase in interest income due to higher interest earning assets in 2002

Total operating expenses increased $3.2 million, or 7%, to $46.0 million for 2002, from $42.8 million for 2001.

Property operating expenses increased $677,000, or 6%, to $12.3 million for 2002 compared to $11.6 million for 2001. This variance was primarily the result of a general increase during 2002 in property and liability insurance costs across the portfolio and a reduction in 2001 of estimated property liability insurance claims related to prior year policies based on actual claims filed under these policies. In addition, there was an increase in non-recurring repairs and maintenance expense experienced throughout the portfolio. These increases were offset by lower utility expenses following the redevelopment of the Elmwood Park Shopping Center and a decrease in bad debt expense in 2002.

General and administrative expense increased $1.2 million, or 13%, from $9.0 million for 2001 to $10.2 million for 2002. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in third-party professional fees in 2002 as well as an increase in leasing related salary expense as a result of the Company’s current accounting policy to expense all internal leasing costs commencing in 2002.

Depreciation and amortization increased $1.1 million, or 8%, from $13.7 million for 2001 to $14.8 million for 2002. Depreciation expense increased $591,000. This was principally a result of increased depreciation expense related to capitalized tenant installation costs during 2001 and 2002 and the write-off of tenant improvement costs related to certain tenant leases. Amortization expense increased $468,000, which was primarily attributable to the write-off of deferred leasing costs related to certain tenant leases and increased loan amortization expense related to financing activity in 2002.

Interest expense of $11.0 million for 2002 decreased $1.4 million, or 11%, from $12.4 million for 2001. Of the decrease, $1.6 million was the result of a lower average interest rate on the portfolio mortgage debt and $559,000 was due to higher capitalized interest in 2002. These decreases were offset by a $822,000 increase in interest expense for 2002 due to higher average outstanding borrowings during 2002.

The $149,000 cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in 2001 was a transition adjustment related to the valuation of LIBOR caps recognized in connection with the January 1, 2001 adoption of SFAS No. 133.

Income from discontinued operations increased $3.1 million due to the timing of property sales in 2002 and 2001.

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 (or losses) from sales of 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 (or losses) from sales of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company historically had added back impairments in real estate in calculating FFO, in accordance with prior NAREIT guidance. However, NAREIT, based on discussions with the SEC, has provided revised guidance that provides that impairments should not be added back to net income in calculating FFO. As such, historical FFO has been restated consistent with this revised guidance. The reconciliations of net income to FFO for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000 and 1999 are as follows:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

USES OF LIQUIDITY

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 2003, the Company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.145 per Common Share and Common OP Unit. In December of 2003, the Board of Trustees approved and declared a 10% increase in the Company’s quarterly dividend to $0.16 per Common Share and Common OP Unit for the fourth quarter of 2003 which was paid January 15, 2004. On February 26, 2004, the Board of Trustees approved and declared a quarterly dividend of $0.16 per Common Share and Common OP Unit payable April 15, 2004 to shareholders and OP unitholders of record as of March 31, 2004.

Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund, LP (“ASOF”)

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. Since the formation of ASOF, the Company has used it as the primary vehicle for the acquisition of assets.

The Company is the manager and general partner of ASOF 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, ASOF has purchased a total of 30 assets in three separate transactions. Details of the transactions completed during 2003 are as follows:

Brandywine Portfolio

In January of 2003, ASOF 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 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 99% 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. 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. ASOF 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 ASOF, of which the Company’s share was $4.3 million. ASOF will also pay additional amounts in conjunction with the lease-up of the current vacant space in Phase II (the “Earn-out”). The additional investment, depending on the Earn-out, is projected to be between $42.0 million and $62.0 million, of which the Company’s share would be between $9.3 million and $13.8 million. To the extent ASOF 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 ASOF 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, ASOF 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. ASOF 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 ASOF and 25% to AmCap. The Kroger/Safeway JV agreement also provides for additional allocations of cash based on ASOF achieving certain minimum investment returns to be determined on a “look-back” basis.

Venture with Klaff Realty, L.P. (“Klaff”)

On January 27, 2004, the Company entered into a venture (the “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 Venture is expected to be approximately $300 million in equity based on anticipated investments of approximately $1 billion. The Venture is currently exploring investment opportunities, but has not yet made any commitments. Each participant in the Venture has the right to opt out of any potential investment. The Company and its current acquisition fund, ASOF, as well as possible subsequent joint venture funds sponsored by the Company, anticipate investing 20% of the equity of the 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). Profits earned on up to $20.0 million of the Company’s contributed capital is not subject to Klaff’s Promote. The Company will also earn market-rate fees for property management, leasing and construction services on behalf of the Venture.

The Company has also 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 Preferred OP Units to Klaff in consideration of this acquisition.

Other

In March 2004, the Company invested $4.1 million in a loan secured by a shopping center property.

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 2003, the Company substantially completed the redevelopment of three shopping centers and added an additional project to its redevelopment pipeline as follows:

Gateway Shopping Center – The redevelopment of the Gateway Shopping Center, formerly a partially enclosed mini-mall with an undersized Grand Union, included the demolition of 90% of the existing building and the construction of a new anchor supermarket. The center has been converted into a new open-air community shopping center anchored with a 72,000 square foot Shaw’s supermarket which opened during March of 2003. Approximately 11,000 square feet of small shop space remains to be leased at the property. Total costs for this project, including the original acquisition costs, aggregated $17.9 million.

Plaza 422 – Home Depot held its grand opening during fourth quarter of 2003 at the Plaza 422 redevelopment project located in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. The expansion of the former 83,000 square foot Ames space to a 104,000 square foot Home Depot included the recapture and demolition of the formerly enclosed portion of this center. The Company is now collecting triple the base rent of that which was paid by Ames. In connection with the redevelopment project, the Company also recaptured another 48,000 square feet of space, for which re-leasing is currently underway. The majority of redevelopment costs were paid directly by Home Depot. The Company’s share of costs for this project totaled $402,000.

New Loudon Center – The Bon Ton Department Store also opened for business during the fourth quarter of 2003 as part of the redevelopment of the New Loudon Center located in Latham, New York. 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. In addition, the Company has leased the balance of the former Ames space to Marshall’s, an existing tenant at the center, which will be expanding its current 26,000 square foot store to 37,000 square feet. The Company will also install a new 49,000 square foot Raymour and Flanigan Furniture store at this center. Following the completion of this project in mid-2004, this community shopping center will be 100% occupied. Costs incurred to date by the Company for this project totaled $418,000. The remaining costs to complete this redevelopment project are to be paid directly by the above tenants.

Town Line Plaza – This project, located in Rocky Hill, Connecticut, was added to the Company’s redevelopment pipeline in December of 2003. The Company is re-anchoring the center with a new Super Stop & Shop supermarket, replacing a former GU Markets supermarket. The existing building is being demolished and will be 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. Costs to date for this project totaled $1.7 million. All remaining redevelopment costs associated with this project, which is anticipated to be completed during the first quarter of 2005, are to be paid by Stop & Shop.

Additionally, for the year ending December 31, 2004, the Company currently estimates that capital outlays of approximately $3.0 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 12, 2004, the Company had repurchased 1,899,486 Common Shares (net of 152,199 shares reissued) at a total cost of $11.6 million. The program may be discontinued or extended at any time and there is no assurance that the Company will purchase the full amount authorized.

SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY

The Company intends on using ASOF and the Venture as the primary vehicle for future acquisitions. 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 cash on hand, additional debt financings and future sales of existing properties. As of December 31, 2003, the Company had a total of approximately $51.1 million of additional capacity with six lenders, of which the Company is required to draw $12.7 million by December 2004, or forego the ability to draw these funds at any time during the remaining term of the loans. Of the remaining capacity, approximately $3.0 million is subject to additional leasing requirements at the collateral properties, which the Company has not yet satisfied. The Company also had cash and cash equivalents on hand of $14.7 million at December 31, 2003 as well as nine properties that are currently unencumbered and therefore 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.

Financing and Debt

At December 31, 2003, mortgage notes payable aggregated $190.4 million and were collateralized by 22 properties and related tenant leases. Interest on the Company’s outstanding mortgage indebtedness ranged from 2.6% to 8.1% with maturities that ranged from April 2005 to June 2013. Taking into consideration $86.7 million of notional principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, $156.4 million of the portfolio, or 82%, was fixed at a 6.6% weighted average interest rate and $34.0 million, or 18% was floating at a 2.9% weighted average interest rate. There is no debt maturing in 2004, and $57.8 million is scheduled to mature in 2005 at a weighted average interest rate of 2.9%. 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, 2002:

In January 2003, the Company drew down $5.0 million of an available $10.0 million facility with a bank and used the proceeds to partially pay down the outstanding principal on another loan with the same lender.

In March 2003, the Company repaid a $3.6 million loan with a life insurance company.

In April 2003, the Company extended an existing $7.4 million revolving facility with a bank through March 1, 2008. As of December 31, 2003, there were no outstanding amounts under this loan.

On May 30, 2003, the Company refinanced a $13.3 million loan with a bank, increasing the outstanding principal to $16.0 million. The loan, which is secured by one of the Company’s properties, requires monthly payment of interest at the fixed-rate of 5.2%. Payments of principal amortized over 30 years commences June 2005 with the loan maturing in May 2013.

On October 27, 2003, the Company paid off maturing loans totaling $7.4 million, which were secured by two of the Company’s properties.

Effective December 1, 2003, the Company amended an $8.6 million loan with a bank. An additional $5.0 million has been made available under the loan as well as extending the maturity of the loan until December 1, 2008 with two one-year extension options. In addition, the interest rate has been reduced to LIBOR plus 140 basis points. The loan, which is secured by one of the Company’s properties, requires the monthly payment of interest and fixed principal commencing January 1, 2004.

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.

In February 2004, the Company entered into three forward starting swap agreements as follows:

Commencement Date Maturity Date Notional Principal Rate




10/2/2006 10/1/2011 $11.4 million 4.895%




10/2/2006 1/1/2010 $ 4.6 million 4.710%




6/1/2007 3/1/2012 $ 8.4 million 5.140%




These swap agreements have been executed in contemplation of the finalization of the extension and modification of certain mortgage loans currently being negotiated, although there can be no assurance that such extensions will be finalized.

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.

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, 2003, maturities on the Company’s mortgage notes ranged from April 2005 to June 2013. 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 following table summarizes the Company’s debt maturities, excluding scheduled monthly amortization payments, and obligations under non-cancelable operating leases of December 31, 2003:

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has two off balance sheet joint ventures for the purpose of investing in operating properties as follows:

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, 2003 was $16.2 million. Interest on the debt, which matures in October 2007, has been effectively fixed at 7.2% through variable to fixed-rate swap agreements.

Reference is made to the discussion of ASOF under “Uses of Liquidity” in this Item 7 for additional detail related to the Company’s investment in and commitments to ASOF. The Company owns a 22% interest in ASOF for which it also uses the equity method of accounting. The Company’s pro rata share of ASOF fixed-rate mortgage debt as of December 31, 2003 was $24.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 6.4%. The Company’s pro rata share of ASOF variable-rate mortgage debt as of December 31, 2003 was $1.3 million at an interest rate of 3.1%. Maturities on these loans range from October 2007 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, 2003 (“2003’) with the Company’s cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2002 (“2002”).

Cash and cash equivalents were $14.7 million and $45.2 million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease of $30.5 million was a result of the following increases and decreases in cash flows:

(amounts in millions)     Years Ended December 31,   
 







 
    2003     2002     Variance  
 

 

 

 
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 19.1   $ 24.9   $ (5.8 )
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities   (19.4 )   24.6     (44.0 )
Net cash used in financing activities   (30.2 )   (58.8 )   28.6  
Net cash provided by discontinued operations       20.5     (20.5 )

The variance in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to $3.9 million of lease termination income received in 2002 which was not repeated in 2003. In addition, there was a net decrease in cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $2.0 million, primarily rents receivable.

The variance in net cash (used in) provided by investing activities was primarily the result of an additional $37.8 million collected on purchase money notes in 2002, a $2.5 million earn-out payment related to a redevelopment project in 2002, an additional $3.1 million invested in ASOF in 2003 and $1.2 million of additional expenditures for real estate acquisitions, development and tenant installation costs during 2003.

The decrease in net cash used in financing activities resulted primarily from $33.4 million of cash used in 2002 for the Company’s repurchase of Common Shares offset by $2.8 million of additional cash used in 2003 for the net repayment of debt.

The decrease in net cash provided by discontinued operations was primarily a result of $2.9 million in net cash provided by operating activities at the discontinued properties in 2002 and net proceeds in 2002 from the sale of such properties.

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 years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, impairment losses of $197,000 and $15.9 million were recognized related to properties which were held for sale and subsequently sold. Management does not believe that the values of any properties in its portfolio are impaired as of December 31, 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, 2003, the Company had recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $2.4 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.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Statements Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46R”). FIN 46R replaces FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which was issued in January 2003. In general, a variable interest entity (“VIE”) is a corporation, partnership, trust, or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (b) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. A VIE often holds financial assets, including loans or receivables, real estate or other property. A VIE may be essentially passive or it may engage in activities on behalf of another company. Until now, a company generally has included another entity in its consolidated financial statements only if it controlled the entity through voting interests. FIN 46 changes that by requiring a VIE to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the VIE’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. The Company will be required to adopt FIN 46R in the first fiscal period beginning after March 15, 2004. Upon adoption of FIN 46R, the assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests of the VIE initially would be measured at their carrying amounts with any difference between the net amount added to the balance sheet and any previously recognized interest being recognized as the cumulative effect of an accounting change. If determining the carrying amounts is not practicable, fair value at the date FIN 46R first applies may be used to measure the assets, liabilities and non-controlling interest of the VIE. It is not anticipated that the effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements would be material.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150 “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity”. This statement establishes how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments that have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within the scope of SFAS No. 150 as a liability because that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. For the Company, SFAS 150 was effective for instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise will be effective as of January 1, 2004, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments. For certain mandatorily redeemable financial instruments, SFAS 150 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2005. The effective date has been deferred indefinitely for certain other types of mandatorily redeemable financial instruments. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company currently is a majority-owner of a finite life partnership which is included in the consolidated accounts of the Company. The application of SFAS 150 as it relates to finite life entities has been deferred indefinitely. Based on the estimated value of the property owned by the partnership at December 31, 2003, the Company estimates that the minority interest in this partnership would be entitled to approximately $2,080 upon the dissolution of the partnership.

April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 149 “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. This statement amends and clarifies financial reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. SFAS No. 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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, interest rate swap agreements and LIBOR caps. As of December 31, 2003, the Company had total mortgage debt of $190.4 million of which $69.8 million, or 37% was fixed-rate and $120.6 million, or 63%, was variable-rate based upon LIBOR plus certain spreads. As of December 31, 2003, 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 $86.7 million of LIBOR based variable-rate debt, effectively increasing the fixed-rate portion of its total outstanding debt as of December 31, 2003 to 82%. The Company also has two interest rate swaps hedging the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $16.2 million of LIBOR based variable rate debt related to its investment in Crossroads.

The following table sets forth information as of December 31, 2003 concerning the Company’s long-term debt obligations, including principal cash flows by scheduled maturity and weighted average interest rates of maturing amounts (amounts in millions):

Of the Company’s total outstanding debt, $57.8 million will become due in 2005. 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 $578,000 annually if the interest rate on the refinanced debt increased by 100 basis points. Furthermore, interest expense on the Company’s variable debt as of December 31, 2003 would increase by $340,000 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To 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, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and the 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the 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, 2003 and 2002, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2003
(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, 2003, the Company controlled 96% 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, 2003, the Company operated 62 properties, which it owned or had an ownership interest in, consisting of 60 neighborhood and community shopping centers and two multi-family properties, located primarily in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions of the United States.

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.

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.

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. For the year ended December 31, 2001, an impairment loss of $15,886 was recognized related to properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2001. Management does not believe that the values of its prop erties within the portfolio are impaired as of December 31, 2003.

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.

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, 2003 and 2002, unbilled rents receivable relating to straight-lining of rents were $5,873 and $5,302, 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, 2003 and 2002 are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $2,420 and $2,284, respectively.

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 860 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Statements Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46R”). FIN 46R replaces FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which was issued in January 2003. In general, a variable interest entity (“VIE”) is a corporation, partnership, trust, or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (b) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. A VIE often holds financial assets, including loans or receivables, real estate or other property. A VIE may be essentially passive or it may engage in activities on behalf of another company. Until now, a company generally has included another entity in its consolidated financial statements only if it controlled the entity through voting interests. FIN 46 changes that by requiring a VIE to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the VIE’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. The Company will be required to adopt FIN 46R in the first fiscal period beginning after March 15, 2004. Upon adoption of FIN 46R, the assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests of the VIE initially would be measured at their carrying amounts with any difference between the net amount added to the balance sheet and any previously recognized interest being recognized as the cumulative effect of an accounting change. If determining the carrying amounts is not practicable, fair value at the date FIN 46R first applies may be used to measure the assets, liabilities and non-controlling interest of the VIE. It is not anticipated that the effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements would be material.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150 “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity”. This statement establishes how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments that have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within the scope of SFAS No. 150 as a liability because that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. For the Company, SFAS 150 was effective for instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise will be effective as of January 1, 2004, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments. For certain mandatorily redeemable financial instruments, SFAS 150 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2005. The effective date has been deferred indefinitely for certain other types of mandatorily redeemable financial instruments. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company currently is a majority-owner of a finite life partnership which is included in the consolidated accounts of the Company. The application of SFAS 150 as it relates to finite life entities has been deferred indefinitely. Based on the estimated value of the property owned by the partnership at December 31, 2003, the Company estimates that the minority interest in this partnership would be entitled to approximately $2,080 upon the dissolution of the partnership.

In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 149 “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. This statement amends and clarifies financial reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. SFAS No. 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2.   Acquisition and Disposition of Properties

Currently the primary vehicle for the Company’s acquisition activity is its acquisition joint venture, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund (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 generally recognized using the full accrual method in accordance with SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate”, providing that certain criteria relating to the terms of sales are met.

The results of operations of sold properties is reported separately as discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. Revenues from discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 totaled $6,295 and $24,178, respectively.

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.

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.

On April 24, 2002, the Company sold a multi-property portfolio for $52,700. The portfolio consists of 17 retail properties, which are cross-collateralized in a securitized loan program and in the aggregate contain 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.

On January 16, 2002, the Company sold Union Plaza, a 218,000 square foot shopping center located in New Castle, Pennsylvania, for $4,750. The Company received a $3,563 purchase money note. The note, which matures January 15, 2005, requires monthly interest of 7% for year one, increasing at a rate of 1% per annum throughout the term. As part of the transaction, the Company agreed to reimburse the purchaser 50% of a former tenant’s rent, or $22 a month, through July 15, 2003. The Company recorded a loss of $166 on the sale.

On January 10, 2002, the Company and an unaffiliated joint venture partner purchased a three-acre site located in the Bronx, New York, for $3,109. Simultaneously, the joint venture sold approximately 46% of the land to a self-storage facility for $3,300, recognizing a $1,530 gain on the sale of which the Company’s share was $957. The joint venture currently plans to develop the remaining parcel

2001 Dispositions

On December 21, 2001, the Company sold the Glen Oaks Apartments, a 463 unit multi-family property located in Greenbelt, Maryland for $35,100, resulting in an $8,546 gain on the sale. As part of the transaction, the Company received a promissory note (which was secured by an irrevocable letter of credit) for $34,757, which was subsequently paid in January 2002.

On October 4, 2001, the Company sold the Tioga West shopping center, a 122,000 square foot shopping center located in Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania, for $3,200 resulting in a $908 gain on the sale.

On August 27, 2001 the Company sold the Wesmark Plaza, a 207,000 square foot shopping center located in Sumter, South Carolina, for $5,750, recognizing a $1,245 gain on the sale.

The Company sold its interest in the Marley Run Apartments for $27,400 on May 15, 2001, recognizing a $7,035 gain on the sale. Net proceeds from the sale were used to redeem 680,667 Common OP Units at $7.00 per unit. The redemption price represented a premium of $0.35 over the market price of the Company’s Common Shares as of the redemption date. These redeemed Common OP Units were held by the original owners of the property who contributed it to the Company in connection with the RDC Transaction. Pursuant to the RDC Transaction, the Company agreed to indemnify the Common OP Unit holders for any income taxes recognized with respect to a disposition of the property within five years following the contribution of the property. As part of the redemption as discussed above, the Common OP Unit holders waived their rights to this tax reimbursement, which the Company estimated to be in excess of $2.00 per Common OP Unit.

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, 2003, 2002, and 2001 (does not include unconsolidated partnerships):

4.   Investment in Unconsolidated Partnerships, Continued

Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund, LP (“ASOF”)

In 2001, the Company formed a joint venture, ASOF, with four of its institutional investors for the purpose of acquiring real estate assets. The Company is the sole general partner with a 22% interest in the joint venture and is also entitled to a profit participation in excess of its invested capital based on certain investment return thresholds. The Company also earns market-rate fees for asset management as well as for property management, construction and leasing services. Decisions made by the general partner as it relates to purchasing, financing and disposition of properties are subject to the unanimous disapproval of the Advisory Committee, which is comprised of representatives from each of the four institutional investors.

ASOF owns five shopping centers comprising 1.3 million square feet. In addition, ASOF and an unaffiliated joint venture party own a 1.0 million square foot supermarket portfolio consisting of twenty five anchor-only leases with either Kroger or Safeway Supermarkets.

Acquisitions completed during 2003 and 2002 were as follows:

Kroger/Safeway Portfolio – In January 2003, ASOF 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. 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. ASOF invested $11,250 of the equity capitalization of which the Company’s share was $2,500.

Brandywine Portfolio – In January 2003, ASOF 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. A portion of one of the properties is currently unoccupied for which ASOF will pay for on an “earn-out” basis only when it is leased. At closing, ASOF 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%. ASOF invested equity of $19,270 in the acquisition, of which the Company’s share was $4,282. On December 6, 2002, ASOF completed a forward interest rate lock agreement on $30,000 of anticipated mortgage debt in connection with this transaction. This forward interest rate lock agreement was settled at closing in January 2003.

On September 19, 2002, ASOF acquired three supermarket–anchored shopping centers located in Ohio for a total purchase price of $26,679. ASOF assumed $12,568 of fixed rate debt on two of the properties at a blended rate of 8.1%. A new $6,000 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 the joint venture, of which the Company’s share was $1,802.

The Company accounts for its investment in ASOF using the equity method. Summary financial information of ASOF and the Company’s investment in and share of income from ASOF follows:

6.   Mortgage Loans

At December 31, 2003, mortgage notes payable aggregated $190,444 and were collateralized by 22 properties and related tenant leases. Interest rates ranged from 2.6% to 8.1%. Mortgage payments are due in monthly installments of principal and/or interest and mature on various dates through 2013. Certain loans are cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted as part of a group of properties. 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.

Effective December 1, 2003, the Company amended an $8,599 loan with a bank. An additional $5,000 has been made available under the loan as well as extending the maturity of the loan until December 1, 2008 with two one-year extension options. In addition, the interest rate has been reduced to LIBOR plus 140 basis points. The loan, which is secured by one of the Company’s properties, requires the monthly payment of interest and fixed principal commencing January 1, 2004.

On October 27, 2003, the Company paid off maturing loans totaling $7,418, which were secured by two of the Company’s properties.

On May 30, 2003, the Company refinanced a $13,337 loan with a bank, increasing the outstanding principal to $16,000. The loan, which is secured by one of the Company’s properties, requires monthly payment of interest at the fixed-rate of 5.2%. Payments of principal amortized over 30 years commences June 2005 with the loan maturing in May 2013.

In April 2003, the Company extended an existing $7,400 revolving facility with a bank through March 1, 2008. As of December 31, 2003, there were no outstanding amounts under this loan.

In March 2003, the Company repaid a $3,551 loan with a life insurance company.

In January 2003, the Company drew down $5,000 of an available $10,000 facility with a bank and used the proceeds to partially pay down the outstanding principal on another loan with the same lender.

7.   Shareholders’ Equity and Minority Interests

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, will permit 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, 2003, the Company had repurchased 1,922,788 Common Shares (net of 131,817 Common Shares reissued) at a total cost of $10,381 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.

In February 2002, the Company completed a “modified Dutch Auction” tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) whereby the Company purchased 5,523,974 Common Shares, comprised of 4,136,321 Common Shares and 1,387,653 Common OP Units converted to Common Shares, at a purchase price of $6.05. The aggregate purchase price paid was $33,400.

Also in February 2002, the Board of Trustees voted to permit Yale University (“Yale”) to acquire 2,266,667 additional Common Shares from another shareholder by granting a conditional waiver of the provision in the Company’s Declaration of Trust that prohibits ownership positions in excess of 4% of the Company. The waiver was limited to this particular transaction. Following this, Yale owned 8,421,759 Common Shares, or 34% of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares. Additionally, as a condition to approving the waiver, Yale agreed to establish a voting trust whereby all shares owned by Yale University in excess of 30% of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares, will be voted in the same proportion as all other shares voted, excluding Yale.

Minority Interests

Minority interest in Operating Partnership represents the limited partners’ interest of 1,139,017 and 3,162,980 units in the Operating Partnership (“Common OP Units”) at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. During 2003 and 2002, various limited partners converted a total of 2,058,804 and 2,086,736 Common OP Units into Common Shares on a one-for-one basis, respectively. Ross 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 and 2,212 units of preferred limited partnership interests designated as Series A Preferred Units at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively (“Preferred OP Units”). The Preferred OP Units were issued in connection with the acquisition of all the partnership interests of the limited partnership which owns the Pacesetter Park Shopping Center on November 16, 1999. Certain Preferred OP Unit holders converted 632 Preferred OP Units into 84,267 Common OP Units and then into Common Shares during 2003.

The 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 Preferred OP Unit or (ii) the quarterly distribution attributable to a Preferred OP Unit if such unit were converted into a Common OP Unit. The 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 Preferred OP Units at the lesser of $7.50 or the market price of the Common Shares as of the conversion date.

Minority interests in majority-owned partnerships represent third party interests in four properties in which the Company has a majority ownership position.

8.   Related Party Transactions

The Company currently manages one property in which a shareholder of the Company has an ownership interest for which the Company earns a management fee of 3% of tenant collections. In 2001, the Company terminated a contract to manage a property owned by a related party that earned a fee of 3.25% of tenant collections. Management fees earned by the Company under these contracts aggregated $212, $229 and $391 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 respectively, and are included in other revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

The Company also earns certain management and service fees in connection with its investment in ASOF (Note 4). Such fees earned by the Company (after adjusting for intercompany fees) aggregated $1,689, $1,082 and $338 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 respectively, and are included in other revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

As of December 31, 2002, the Company was obligated to issue Common OP Units and cash valued at $2,750 to certain limited partners in connection with 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. In February 2003, Mr. Dworman received 34,841 of these Common OP Units through various affiliated entities.

Included in the Common OP Units converted to Common Shares during 2003 and 2002, were 2,300 and 5,000 Common OP Units converted by Mr. Dworman who then transferred them to a charitable foundation in accordance with a pre-existing arrangement. In connection with the Company’s Tender Offer, Mr. Dworman tendered and sold 492,271 Common OP Units (after converting these to Common Shares on a one-for-one basis) and 107,729 Common Shares (Note 7).

9.   Tenant Leases

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, 2003 are summarized as follows:

2004 $ 42,329  
2005   38,272  
2006   35,675  
2007   32,505  
2008   27,625  
Thereafter   182,243  
 

 
  $ 358,649  
 

 

Minimum future rentals above include a total of $6,169 for two tenants (with six leases), which have filed for bankruptcy protection. None of these leases have been rejected nor affirmed. During the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, no single tenant collectively accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenues.

10.   Lease Obligations

The Company leases land at three of its shopping centers, which are accounted for as operating leases and generally provide the Company with renewal options. 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. Future minimum rental payments required for leases having remaining non-cancelable lease terms are as follows:

2004 $ 954  
2005   973  
2006   981  
2007   995  
2008   1,055

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, 2003, 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, 2003, the Company has 2,068,150 options outstanding to officers and employees. These fully vested options are for ten-year terms from the grant date and, except for 30,000 options which vested fully as of the grant date, vested in three equal annual installments which began on the grant date. In addition, 27,000 options have been issued to non-employee Trustees of which 14,600 options were vested as of December 31, 2003.

For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Committee granted a total of 107,834 restricted shares pursuant to the 2003 Plan to certain officers 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.   39,168 restricted shares, which were granted in lieu of a portion of the Recipients’ 2002 cash bonus, vested 20% on January 2, 2003 and vest 20% thereafter on each of the next four anniversaries of such date,

ii.   34,333 restricted shares vest 20% on January 2, 2004 and on each of the next four anniversaries of such date,

iii.   and 34,333 restricted shares vest 20% on January 2, 2004 and on each of the next four anniversaries of such 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 12% or more either for such fiscal year or, on average, for such fiscal year and each other fiscal year occurring after January 2, 2003 – in which case vesting shall occur for any restricted shares that did not vest in a prior fiscal year based on this 12% condition.

The total value of the above restricted share awards on the date of grant was $987 which will be recognized in expense over the vesting period. During 2003, $410 was recognized in compensation expense. Unearned compensation of $577 as of December 31, 2003 will be recognized in expense as such shares vest.

For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company issued 37,110 restricted shares to employees, which vest equally over three years. No awards of restricted shares were granted for the year ended December 31, 2002. During the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Company recognized compensation expenses of $516, $121 and $121, respectively, in connection with restricted share grants. No awards of share appreciation rights or performance units/shares were granted for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001.

11.   Share Incentive Plan, continued

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 granted after December 31, 2001 will be expensed over the vesting period based on the fair value at the date the stock-based compensation was granted. Prior to January 1, 2002, the Company had applied the intrinsic value method permitted under SFAS No. 123, as defined in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related Interpretations, in accounting for stock-based compensation plans. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001 related to the issuance of stock options because the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options equaled or exceeded the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The Company elected the prospective method whereby compensation expense is recognized only for those options granted, modified or settled on or after January 1, 2002.

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, 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:

    Years ended December 31,  
  2003   2002   2001  
 
 
 
 
Risk-free interest rate   4.4 %   3.3 %   5.4 %
Dividend yield   5.8 %   7.0 %   8.4 %
Expected life   10.0 years     7.0 years     7.0 years  
Expected volatility   18.0 %   19.1 %   17.7 %
Fair value at date of grant (per option) $ 0.82   $ 0.44   $ 0.27  

Changes in the number of shares under all option arrangements are summarized as follows:

  Years ended December 31,  
    2003     2002     2001  
 
 
 
 
Outstanding at beginning of year   2,472,400     2,593,400     2,124,600  
Granted   8,000     5,000     475,000  
Option price per share granted $ 9.11-11.66   $ 7.10   $ 6.00-$7.00  
Cancelled            
Exercisable at end of year   2,082,750     2,313,436     2,418,137  
Settled (1)   385,250     126,000     6,200  
Expired            
Outstanding at end of year   2,095,150     2,472,400     2,593,400  
Option prices per share outstanding $ 4.89-$11.66   $ 4.89-$7.50   $ 4.89-$7.50  

(1)   Pursuant to the 1999 Plan (except for 250 options exercised during 2003) these options were settled and did not result in the issuance of any additional Common Shares.

As of December 31, 2003 the outstanding options had a weighted average exercise price of $7.04 and a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately 5.1 years.

12.   Employee Stock Purchase Plan

During 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 2003, 810 Common Shares were purchased by Employees under the Purchase Plan.

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 $12 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The Company contributed $110, $115, and $135 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

14.   Dividends and Distributions Payable

On December 9, 2003, the Company declared a cash dividend for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 of $0.16 per Common Share. The dividend was paid on January 15, 2004 to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2003.

The Company has determined that the cash distributed to the shareholders is characterized as follows for Federal income tax purposes:

  For the years ended December 31,  
 
 
  2003   2002   2001  
 
 
 
 
Ordinary income 100 % 44 % 79 %
             
Long-term capital gain 0 % 56 % 21 %
 
 
 
 
  100 % 100 % 100 %

15.   Income Taxes

The Company believes it qualifies as a REIT and therefore is not liable for income taxes at the federal level or in most states for the current year as well as for future years. Accordingly, for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, no provision was recorded for federal or substantially all state income taxes.

The following unaudited table reconciles the Company’s book net income to REIT taxable income before dividends paid deduction:

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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, continued

Cash and Cash Equivalents, 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, 2003 and 2002 and is determined using interest rate market pricing models.

Mortgage Notes Payable – As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company has determined the estimated fair value of its mortgage notes payable are approximately $193,619 and $208,083, 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.

Interest Rate Hedges

On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended by SFAS No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities”. In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 133, the Company recorded a transition adjustment of $149 related to the January 1, 2001 valuation of two LIBOR interest rate caps that hedged $23,203 of variable-rate mortgage debt. This adjustment is reflected as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

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%.

During 2001, the Company completed two interest rate swap transactions to hedge the Company’s exposure to changes to interest rates with respect to $50,000 of LIBOR based variable rate debt. The first swap agreement, which extends through April 1, 2005, provides for a fixed all-in rate of 6.55% on $30,000 of notional principal. The second swap agreement, which extends through October 1, 2006, provides for a fixed all-in rate of 6.28% on $20,000 of notional principal.

The Company is also a party to two swap agreements with a bank through its 49% interest in Crossroads (Note 4). These swap agreements effectively fix the interest rate on the Company’s pro rata share of the Crossroads mortgage debt.

Interest Rate Hedges, continued

The following table summarizes the notional values and fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2003. The notional value does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks:

Hedge Type   Notional Value   Rate   Interest Maturity     Fair Value  




 

LIBOR Swap (1) $ 11,974   5.94 % 6/16/07   $ (1,217)

                $ (5,860 )
               

 
   
Notes:
   
(1) Relates to the Company’s investments in Crossroads. These swaps effectively fix the interest rate on the Company’s pro rata share of mortgage debt. The fair values of these instruments are reflected as components of the Company’s investment in Crossroads in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2003, the derivative instruments were reported at their fair value as derivative instruments of $4,044 and as a reduction of investments in unconsolidated partnerships of $1,816. As of December 31, 2003, unrealized losses totaling $5,734 represented the fair value of the aforementioned derivatives, of which $5,505 was reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss and $229 as a reduction of minority interest in Operating Partnership. For the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company recorded in interest expense an unrealized gain (loss) of $51 and ($122), respectively, due to partial ineffectiveness on one of the swaps. 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 $3,462 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. For the year ended December 31, 2001 no additional shares were reflected as the impact would be anti- dilutive in such years.

    Years ended December 31,  
2003     2002     2001






Numerator:                  
Income from continuing operations – basic earnings per share $ 7,853   $ 11,517   $ 5,156

Preferred OP Unit distributions   185     199

Effect of dilutive securities:                  
Employee stock options   615     190      
Convertible Preferred OP Units   292     295      
 

 

 

 
Dilutive potential Common Shares   907     485      
 

 

 

 
Denominator for diluted earnings per share   27,496     25,806     28,313  
 

 

 

 
Basic earnings per share from continuing operations $ 0.30   $ 0.46   $ 0.18  
 

 

 

 
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations $ 0.29   $ 0.45   $ 0.18  
 

 

 

 

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.

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.

20. Subsequent Events

In January 2004, the Company formed a joint venture with Klaff Realty, LP (“Klaff”) and Lubert Adler Management, Inc. for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned or controlled by distressed retailers. The Company has also 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. The rights were acquired with the issuance of $4.0 million in preferred Operating Partnership units.

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 $37,667 of notional principal.

In February 2004, the Company entered into three forward starting swap agreements as follows:

Commencement Date Maturity Date   Notional Principal   Rate






10/2/2006 10/1/2011             $11,410             4.895%          






10/2/2006   1/1/2010             4,640             4.710%          






  6/1/2007 3/1/2012             8,434             5.140%          






These swap agreements have been executed in contemplation of the finalization of the extension and modification of certain mortgage loans currently being negotiated.

On March 11, 2004, the Company invested approximately $4.1 million in a mortgage loan secured by a shopping center property.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the REIT, the Partnership and Klaff hereby agree as follows: 1. Certain Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings: (a) "Commission" means the Securities and Exchange Commission, or any other federal agency at the time administering the Securities Act. (b) "Conversion Shares" means the Shares issuable upon exchange of the OP Units from time to time. (c) "Exchange Act" means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor federal statute, and the rules and regulations of the Commission issued under such Exchange Act, as they each may, from time to time, be in effect. (d) "Holder(s)" means a holder of Registrable Shares entitled to the rights arising hereunder. (e) "Participating Holder" means a Holder whose Registrable Shares are included in a Registration Statement. 1

(f) "Registration Expenses" means the expenses described in Section 4 hereof. (g) "Registration Statement" means a registration statement filed by the REIT with the Commission for a public offering and sale of equity securities of the REIT (other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or Form S-4, or their successors, or any registration statement covering only securities proposed to be issued in exchange for securities or assets of another corporation). (h) "Registrable Shares" means (i) the Conversion Shares, (ii) any other Shares issued in respect of Conversion Shares, and (iii) any other Shares issued with respect to the Shares issued in clauses (i) and (ii) (because of share splits, share dividends, reclassifications, recapitalizations, or similar events); provided, however, that Shares which are Registrable Shares shall cease to be Registrable Shares (x) upon any sale pursuant to a Registration Statement, or any other sale or transfer of the Registrable Shares in any manner to any person or entity other than a Permitted Transferee (as defined) or as otherwise expressly provided herein, or (y) in the event that Registrable Shares may be freely sold and/or transferred pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act. (i) "Securities Act" means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any successor federal statute, and the rules and regulations of the Commission issued under such Securities Act, as they each may, from time to time, be in effect. (j) "Shares" means Common Shares of Beneficial Interest of the REIT, par value $.001 per share. 2. Certain Shelf Registration. Within ninety (90) days from the date of this Agreement, the REIT shall, at its expense, file a shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act to register the Registrable Shares for resale, including for issuance upon conversion or exchange of OP Units. The REIT shall, at its expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such shelf Registration Statement until the earlier of (i) such time as when all of the Registrable Shares have been disposed of or (ii) three years after the conversion or exchange into Shares of all of the OP Units issued upon conversion of the Preferred Units issued under the Contribution Agreement. 2

3. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the REIT is required by the provisions of this Agreement to effect the registration of any of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act, the REIT shall, at its expense: (a) prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Shares and use best efforts to cause that Registration Statement to become effective; (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to remain effective; (c) subject to the provision of Section 2, promptly prepare and file with the Commission any amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus included in the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the period of time required by the Commission; (d) promptly furnish to each Participating Holder such reasonable numbers of copies of the prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as the Participating Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Shares owned by such Participating Holders and included in the Registration Statement; and (e) promptly use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Shares covered by the Registration Statement under the securities or Blue Sky laws of states within the United States as the Participating Holders shall reasonably request; provided, however, that the REIT shall not be required in connection with this subsection 3(e) to: (i) qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where, but for the requirements of this subsection 3(e), it would not be obligated to be so qualified; (ii) execute a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction; (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction; or (iv) register in any state requiring, as a condition to registration, escrow or surrender of any REIT securities held by any security holder other than the Participating Holders. 3

If the REIT has delivered a preliminary or final prospectus to a Participating Holder and, after having done so, the prospectus is amended to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, the REIT shall promptly notify such Participating Holder and, if requested, such Participating Holder shall immediately cease making offers of Registrable Shares and return all prospectuses to the REIT. The REIT shall promptly provide Participating Holders with revised prospectuses and, following receipt of the revised prospectuses, Participating Holders shall be free to resume making offers of the Registrable Shares. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, upon receipt by a Participating Holder of a written notice signed by the Chief Executive Officer, General Counsel or Chief Financial Officer of the REIT, to the effect set forth below, the REIT shall not be obligated during a reasonable period of time thereafter to effect any registrations pursuant to this Agreement, and each such Participating Holder agrees that it will immediately suspend sales of Shares under any effective Registration Statement for a reasonable period of time, in either case not to exceed 90 days, at any time during which, in the REIT's reasonable judgment, (i) there is a development involving the REIT or any of its affiliates which is material but which has not yet been publicly disclosed or (ii) sales pursuant to the Registration Statement would materially and adversely affect an underwritten public offering for the account of the REIT or any other material financing project or where a proposed or pending material merger or other material acquisition or material business combination or material disposition of the REIT's assets, to which the REIT or any of its affiliates is, or is expected to be, a party. In the event a registration is postponed or sales by a Participating Holder pursuant to an effective Registration Statement are suspended in accordance with this paragraph, there shall be added to the period during which the REIT is obligated to keep a Registration Statement effective the number of days for which the Registration Statement was postponed or sales were suspended. 4. Expenses of Registration. The REIT will pay all Registration Expenses of all registrations under this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Registration Expenses" shall mean all expenses incurred by the REIT in complying with this Agreement, including without limitation, all registration and filing fees, exchange listing fees, printing expenses, the fees and disbursements of counsel for the REIT and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel selected by the Participating Holders, the fees and disbursements of the REIT's accountants, state Blue Sky fees and expenses, and the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration, but excluding underwriting discounts and selling commissions. 4

5. Indemnification. (a) Indemnification of Participating Holders. In the event of any registration of any of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the REIT will indemnify and hold harmless each Participating Holder, each of its directors and officers and each other person, if any, who controls such Participating Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Participating Holder or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, Blue Sky laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Shares were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; and the REIT will reimburse such Participating Holder and each such controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Participating Holder or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the REIT will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the REIT, in writing, by or on behalf of any Participating Holder or controlling person specifically for use in the preparation thereof; and provided further, however, that any indemnification contained in this paragraph with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any person who otherwise is entitled to indemnification hereunder on account of any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense if a copy of an amended or supplemental preliminary prospectus, or the final prospectus, shall have been delivered or sent to such person within the time required by the Securities Act, and the untrue statement or omission of a material fact was corrected in such amended or supplemental preliminary prospectus or final prospectus and provided that such person did not deliver such amended or supplemental preliminary prospectus or final prospectus on a timely basis. 5

(b) Indemnification of the REIT. In the event of any registration of any of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, each Participating Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the REIT, each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the REIT within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the REIT, such directors and officers or controlling persons may become subject under the Securities Act, Exchange Act, Blue Sky laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Shares were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, in each case only if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the REIT by or on behalf of such Participating Holder or controlling person, specifically for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement. No Participating Holder shall be liable pursuant to this Section 5(b) for any amount in excess of the proceeds of the offering received by such Participating Holder. 6

(c) Notice of Claim. Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 5 (the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld); and, provided, further, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 5 unless the failure to provide such notice materially prejudices the defense by the Indemnifying Party against such claim. The Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party's expense (provided that the counsel of the Indemnifying Party shall control the defense of such claim or proceeding); provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay such expense if representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would, in the opinion of counsel of the Indemnified Party, be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between the Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding, it being understood, however, that in such event, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of only one counsel for the Indemnified Parties. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation shall as to an Indemnified Party, except with the consent of such Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation, and no Indemnified Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or settle such claim or litigation without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. 6. Rule 144. The REIT covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder (or, if the REIT is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of the holders of the Registrable Securities, make publicly available such information as necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) and it will do all such other acts and things from time to time as reasonably requested by the holders of the Registrable Securities to the extent required from time to time to enable the holders of the Registrable Shares to sell Registrable Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereunder adopted by the Commission. 7

7. Cooperation. The Holders shall furnish to the REIT such information regarding the Holders and the distribution proposed by Participating Holders as the REIT may from time to time reasonably request in writing, and shall do such reasonable acts and things as the REIT may from time to time request, with respect to any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Agreement and in order to permit the REIT to comply with the requirements of law. Any failure by a Holder to make available such information or to do such acts and things shall constitute a waiver by such Holder of its rights to include such Holder's Registrable Shares in any such registration. 8. Restriction on Resale. Unless otherwise agreed by the REIT, until the date on which there are no Registrable Shares, each Holder agrees that it will not resell such Registrable Shares without registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act or an opinion of counsel for such Holder reasonably acceptable to the REIT, addressed to the REIT, to the effect that no such registration is required. All reasonable costs, fees and expenses of counsel in connection with such opinion shall be borne by the REIT. 9. Lock-Up Agreement. In consideration of the REIT's agreement to provide the Holders with the registration rights as set forth in this Agreement, Klaff agrees with the REIT and the Partnership that it will not for a period of three years commencing on the Closing Date or such lesser period if permitted pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of Series B Units of even date herewith (the "Lock-Up Period") (i) sell, assign, or otherwise transfer the Preferred Units to be issued at the Closing (or the OP Units issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Units) or (ii) convert any OP Units into Conversion Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aforementioned prohibition shall not apply to (x) conversion to OP Units; (y) a transfer of OP Units (which shall nonetheless comply with any requirements or conditions to transfer in the Partnership Agreement of the Partnership) to a Permitted Transferee; or (z) bona fide pledge of OP Units (provided that the pledgee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as if an original signatory thereto). For purposes of this Section 10, the term "Permitted Transferees" means (i) any partner or other equity owner of the Partnership or Klaff; (ii) any equity owner of any partner or other equity owner of the Partnership or Klaff; (iii) members of the Immediate Family (as defined below) of any person described in (i) or (ii); and (iv) trusts for the benefit of, or entities controlled by, one or more of the persons described in (i), (ii) or (iii); and/or (v) any public charity, public foundation or charitable institution as defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. For purposes of this Section 10, the term "Immediate Family" means, with respect to any natural person, such natural person's spouse, parents, parents-in-law, descendants, nephews, nieces, brothers, sisters, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law and children-in-law (including adopted persons). A transfer to any Permitted Transferee shall not be deemed effective, and the REIT may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent of the Shares in connection with a purported transfer, unless and until the transferor shall give the REIT written notice stating the name and address of the Permitted Transferee and identifying the securities which are being transferred and the REIT shall have received the written agreement of the Permitted Transferee to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as if an original signatory hereto. 8

(b) If the facts pertaining to a Claim arise out of the Claim of any third party, or if there is any Claim against a third party available by virtue of the circumstances of the Claim, the indemnifying party may assume the defense of such action or proceeding at such indemnifying party's own expense with counsel chosen by the indemnifying party and approved by the indemnified party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not agree to settlement of any such action or proceeding which provides for any relief other than the payment of monetary damages or which could have a material precedential impact or effect on the business or financial condition of the indemnified party without the prior written consent of the indemnified party; and provided, further, that if the indemnified party reasonably determines that a conflict of interest exists where it is advisable for the indemnified party to be represented by separate counsel or that, upon advice of counsel, there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume such defense and the indemnified party shall be entitled to separate counsel at the indemnifying party's expense.

EXECUTIVE -------------------------------- Kenneth Bernstein ACADIA REALTY TRUST By: ---------------------------- Robert Masters Senior Vice President 2

SEVERANCE AGREEMENT ------------------- THIS SEVERANCE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is entered into as of April 6, 2001, by and between Joseph M. Napolitano, an individual residing in the State of New York ("Senior Officer") and Acadia Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust with offices at 20 Soundview Marketplace, Port Washington, New York 11050 (the "Trust"). RECITALS WHEREAS, The Trust desires to continue the employment of Senior Officer as Senior Vice President, Director of Retail Property Management, and Senior Officer desires to be employed by the Trust as Senior Vice President, Director of Retail Property Management; and WHEREAS, Senior Officer has requested the Trust to enter into a severance agreement and the Trust is willing to do so. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreement set forth herein, the parties hereby agree as follows: 1. Termination of Employment and Change in Control. (a) Senior Officer's employment hereunder may be terminated at any time under the following circumstances: (i) Cause. The Trust shall have the right to terminate Senior Officer's employment for Cause upon Senior Officer's: (A) willful and continued failure substantially to perform his duties hereunder (other than any such failure resulting from Senior Officer's incapacity due to physical or mental illness) which failure continues for a period of ten (10) days after written demand for substantial performance is delivered by the Trust specifically identifying the manner in which the Trust believes the Senior Officer has not substantially performed his duties; (B) willful misconduct or (C) conviction of, or plea of guilty to a felony. For purposes of this subparagraph, no act, or failure to act, on Senior Officer's part shall be considered "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by him (i) not in good faith and (ii) without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in furtherance of the interests of the Trust. (ii) Death. Senior Officer's employment hereunder shall terminate upon his death.

(iii) Disability. The Trust shall have the right to terminate Senior Officer's employment due to "Disability" in the event that there is a determination by the Trust that the Senior Officer has become physically or mentally incapable of performing his duties under this Agreement and such disability has disabled the Senior Officer for a cumulative period of one hundred eighty (180) days within a twelve (12) month period. (iv) Good Reason. The Senior Officer shall have the right to terminate his employment for "Good Reason": (A) upon the occurrence of any material breach of this Agreement by the Trust which shall include but not be limited to: a material, adverse alteration in the nature of Senior Officer's duties, responsibilities, or authority; (B) upon a reduction in Senior Officer's Annual Base Salary or a material reduction in other benefits (except for bonuses or similar discretionary payments) as in effect at the time in question, or a failure to pay such amounts when due which is not cured by the Trust within ten (10) days after written notice of such default by the Senior Officer, (C) if the Trust relocates Senior Officer's office requiring the Senior Officer to increase his commuting time by more than one hour, then the Senior Officer shall have the right to terminate his employment, which termination shall be deemed for Good Reason. (v) Without Cause. The Trust shall have the right to terminate the Senior Officer's employment hereunder Without Cause subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. (vi) Change in Control. The Senior Officer shall have the right to terminate his employment hereunder on or within three (3) months following a Change in Control. Such termination shall be deemed a termination for Good Reason hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement "Change in Control" shall mean that any of the following events has occurred: (A) any "person" or "group" of persons, as such terms are used in Sections 13 and 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), other than any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Trust, becomes the "beneficial owner", as such term is used in Section 13 of the Exchange Act (irrespective of any vesting or waiting periods) of (i) Common Shares or any class of stock convertible into Common Shares and/or (ii) Common OP Units or preferred units or any other class of units convertible into Common OP Units, in an amount equal to thirty (30%) percent or more of the sum total of the Common Shares and the Common OP Units (treating all classes of outstanding Common Shares, units or other securities convertible into Common Shares as if they were converted into Common Shares or Common OP Units, as the case may be, and then treating Common Shares and Common OP Units as if they were a single class) issued and outstanding immediately prior to such acquisition as if they were a single class and disregarding any equity raise in connection with the financing of such transaction; or (B) the dissolution or liquidation of the Trust or the consummation of any merger or consolidation of the Trust if the 2

shareholders of the Trust and unit holders of the Partnership taken as a whole and considered as one class immediately before such transaction own, immediately after consummation of such transaction, equity securities and partnership units possessing less than fifty (50%) percent of the surviving or acquiring Trust and partnership taken as a whole; or (C) or any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets, or a sale or other disposition of at least 51% (based upon gross asset value) of the core assets (defined as those properties formerly marketed by Credit Suisse First Boston as the core portfolio of the Company) or (D) a turnover, during any two (2) year period, of the majority of the members of the Board, without the consent of the remaining members of the Board as to the appointment of the new Board members. (b) Notice of Termination Any termination of Senior Officer's employment by the Trust or any such termination by the Senior Officer (other than on account of death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Senior Officer's employment under the provision so indicated. In the event of the termination of Senior Officer's employment on account of death, written Notice of Termination shall be deemed to have been provided on the date of death. 2. Compensation Upon Termination of Employment By the Trust for Cause or Voluntarily By The Senior Officer. In the event the Trust terminates Senior Officer's employment for Cause, or the Senior Officer voluntarily terminates his employment, the Trust shall pay the Senior Officer any unpaid Annual Base Salary at the rate then in effect accrued through and including the date of termination and any accrued vacation pay ("Unpaid Accrued Salary"). In addition, in such event, the Senior Officer shall be entitled to exercise any options which, as of the date of termination, have vested and are exercisable in accordance with the terms of the applicable option grant agreement or plan. All options and all restricted stock granted to the Senior Officer which have not vested on the date of termination shall automatically terminate. Except for any rights which the Senior Officer may have to Unpaid Accrued Salary through and including the date of termination, and vested options and stock, the Trust shall have no further obligations hereunder following such termination. The aforesaid amounts shall be payable in full immediately upon such termination. 3. Compensation Upon Termination of Employment Upon Disability, Without Cause or By Senior Officer for Good Reason. In the event of termination of Senior Officer's employment as a result of Senior Officer's Disability, Without Cause or by Senior Officer for Good Reason, the Trust shall pay to the Senior Officer, the following: 3

(i) any Unpaid Accrued Salary through and including the date of termination; plus (ii) an amount equal to one year's salary at the then current annual base salary (before any reductions) (the "Severance Salary"); plus (iii) reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to date of termination ("Expense Reimbursement"); plus (iv) the Senior Officer's car allowance, if any, for one year (the "Car Allowance"); plus (v) a pro rata portion of Senior Officer's bonus (based upon the average of the last two years' bonuses); plus In the event of termination of or resignation by Senior Officer because of a Change in Control, in addition to the above amounts, (vi) the Trust shall pay to the Senior Officer an amount equal to six months' base salary (the "Change of Control Retention Payment"); and (vii) the Trust shall continue Senior Officer's base salary and medical benefits for a period not to exceed the earlier of (a) six months from the date of such termination or (b) the date when Senior Officer becomes reemployed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Senior Officer's employment is terminated Without Cause, or the Senior Officer terminates his employment for Good Reason prior to a Change of Control and subsequently an event is announced within six months of his termination which, when consummated, would constitute a Change of Control, then the Senior Officer shall be entitled to the payment described in Section 3(vi) upon consummation. In addition, all (A) incentive compensation payments or programs of any nature whether stock based or otherwise that are subject to a vesting schedule, including without limitation restricted stock, phantom stock, units and any loan forgiveness arrangements granted to the Senior Officer ("Incentive Compensation") shall immediately vest as of the date of such termination ("Vested Incentive Compensation") and (B) options granted to the Senior Officer shall immediately vest as of the date of such termination (the "Vested Options") and the Senior Officer shall be entitled at the option of the Senior Officer, his estate or his personal representative, within three years of the date of such termination, to exercise any options which have vested (including, without limitation, by acceleration in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, the applicable option grant agreement or the current Acadia stock option plan (the "Plan")) and are exercisable in accordance with the terms of the applicable option grant agreement or plan and/or any other methods or procedures for exercise applicable to optionees. 4

Except for any rights which the Senior Officer may have to all of the above including unpaid Accrued Salary, Severance Salary, Vested Incentive Compensation, Vested Options, Expense Reimbursement, the Car Allowance and the Bonus, the Trust shall have no further obligations hereunder following such termination. The parties both agree that the agreement to make these payments was consideration and an inducement to obtain Senior Officer's consent to enter into this Agreement. The payments are not a penalty and neither party will claim them to be a penalty. Rather, the payments represent a fair approximation of reasonable amounts due to the Senior Officer. 4. Change in Control. (a) Options. Any options granted to the Senior Officer that have not vested as of the date of a Change in Control shall immediately vest upon the date of the Change in Control. Neither the occurrence of a Change in Control, nor the vesting in any options as a result thereof shall require the Senior Officer to exercise any options. (b) Restricted Stock. Any restricted stock granted to the Senior Officer that have not vested as of the date of a Change in Control shall immediately vest upon the date of the Change in Control. In the event of a conflict between any restricted stock agreement or the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control. (c) Upon Termination. If the surviving entity terminates Senior's Officer's employment Without Cause, the Trust shall pay to the Senior Officer, and the Senior Officer shall be entitled to, all the payments and rights the Senior Officer would have had if the Senior Officer had terminated his employment with Good Reason as set forth in Paragraph 3, including the payments due under Paragraph 3.(vi) and (vii), but less the value of any severance payments Senior Officer receives from the surviving entity after the date of the Change of Control. The rights described herein are subject to the provisions of Section 6(b). 5. Indemnification/Legal Fees. (a) Indemnification. In the event the Senior Officer is made party or threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a "Proceeding"), by reason of Senior Officer's employment with or serving as an officer of the Trust, whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity, the Trust shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Senior Officer to the fullest extent authorized by Maryland law, as the same exists and may hereafter be amended, against any and all claims, demands, suits, judgments, assessments and settlements including all expenses incurred or suffered by Senior Officer in connection therewith (including, without limitation, all legal fees incurred using counsel reasonably acceptable to Senior Officer) and such indemnification shall continue as to Senior Officer even after Senior Officer is no longer employed by the Trust and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors, and administrators. Expenses incurred by Senior Officer in connection with any Proceeding shall be paid by the Trust in advance upon request of Senior Officer that the Trust pay such expenses; but only in the event that Senior Officer shall have delivered in writing to the Trust an undertaking to reimburse the Trust for expenses with respect to which Senior Officer is not entitled to indemnification. The provisions of this Paragraph shall remain in effect after this Agreement is terminated irrespective of the reasons for termination. The indemnification provisions of this Paragraph shall not supersede or reduce any indemnification provided to Senior Officer under any separate agreement, or the by-laws of the Trust since it is intended that this Agreement shall expand and extend the Senior Officer's rights to receive indemnity. 5

(b) Legal Fees. If any contest or dispute shall arise between the Trust and Senior Officer regarding or as a result of any provision of this Agreement, the Trust shall reimburse Senior Officer for all legal fees and expenses reasonably incurred by Senior Officer in connection with such contest or dispute, but only if Senior Officer is successful in respect of substantially all of Senior Officer's claims pursued or defended in connection with such contest or dispute. Such reimbursement shall be made as soon as practicable following the resolution of such contest or dispute (whether or not appealed). 6. Successors and Assigns, Term. (a) The Trust shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Trust, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Senior Officer, to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Trust would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Failure of the Trust to obtain any such agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle Senior Officer to compensation from the Trust in the same amount and on the same terms as he would be entitled to hereunder if Senior Officer terminated his employment for Good Reason hereunder in accordance with the terms as set forth in Paragraph 1.(a)(iv), except that for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the date of termination. In the event of such a breach of this Agreement, the Notice of Termination shall specify such date as the date of termination. As used in this Agreement, "Trust" shall mean the Trust as hereinbefore defined and any successor to all or substantially all of its business and/or its assets as aforesaid which executes and delivers the Agreement provided for in this Paragraph 6 or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law. Any cash payments owed to Senior Officer pursuant to this Paragraph 6 shall be paid to Senior Officer in a single sum without discount for early payment immediately prior to the consummation of the transaction with such successor. Nothing in this Paragraph 6(a) shall be construed to interfere with the Trust's right to implement or pursue such succession. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement, including the obligations described in Section 4.(c), shall terminate and be of no further force and effect 18 months from the date of a Change of Control. 7. Timing of and No Duplication of Payments. All payments payable to Senior Officer pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid as soon as practicable after such amounts have become fully vested and determinable. In addition, Senior Officer shall not be entitled to receive duplicate payments under any of the provisions of this Agreement. 6

8. Modification or Waiver. No amendment, modification, waiver, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be binding or effective for any purpose unless it is made in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of such amendment, modification, waiver, termination or cancellation is sought. No course of dealing between or among the parties to this Agreement shall be deemed to affect or to modify, amend or discharge any provision or term of this Agreement. No delay on the part of the Trust or Senior Officer in the exercise of any of their respective rights or remedies shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Trust or Senior Officer of any such right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof. A waiver of right to remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right or remedy on any other occasion. The respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall survive the Senior Officer's termination of employment and termination of this Agreement to the extent necessary for the intended preservation of such rights and obligations. 9. Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by hand or delivered by a recognized delivery service or mailed, postage prepaid, by express, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and addressed to the Trust at the address set forth above or Senior Officer at his address as set forth in the Trust records (or to such other address as shall have been previously provided in accordance with this Paragraph 10). 10. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 11. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision and term of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision or term of this Agreement shall be held to be prohibited by or invalid under such applicable law, then, such provision or term shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or affecting in any manner whatsoever the remainder of such provisions or term or the remaining provisions or terms of this Agreement. 7

12. Legal Representation. Each of the Trust and Senior Officer has had an opportunity to discuss this Agreement with counsel. 13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which is deemed to be an original and both of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. 14. Headings. The headings of the Paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. 15. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. 16. Survival of Agreements. The covenants made in Paragraphs 1 through 5 each shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 17. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding on the Trust, its successors and assigns, including any surviving entity resulting from a merger, consolidation or other corporate reorganization. 18. Senior Officer's Covenants. Senior Officer covenants and agrees that in the event he receives any compensation (other than compensation upon termination of employment by the Trust for Cause or voluntarily by the Senior Officer) pursuant to this Agreement, he shall not solicit for employment any personnel employed by the Trust at the time of his termination for a period of two years from his Date of Termination as long as such personnel is still employed by the Trust. Nothing contained herein to the contrary, however, shall prevent Senior Officer from providing a reference for any such personnel. 8

19. Confidentiality. Senior Officer and the Trust agree to keep this Agreement confidential to the extent permitted by law. Senior Officer agrees to keep confidential all information in his possession regarding the Company, its properties and its plans, which is not generally known to the public. 20. Excess Parachute Payments Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if any of the payments or benefits provided for in this Agreement, together with any other payments which Employee has a right to receive from the Company or any of its affiliates, constitute a "parachute payment", as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced, if necessary to the largest amount as will result in no portion of such payments being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, all as determined by the Company's regularly engaged independent public accountants. 21. Prior Understandings. This Agreement embodies the entire contract between the parties hereto with respect to employment and severance and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, written or oral, formal or informal by and between the Trust and the Senior Officer. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written. ACADIA REALTY TRUST By:___________________________ Kenneth F. Bernstein President ______________________________ Name: Joseph M. Napolitano Title: Senior Vice President 9

SEVERANCE AGREEMENT ------------------- THIS SEVERANCE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is entered into as of April 6, 2001, by and between Robert Masters, an individual residing in the State of New York ("Senior Officer") and Acadia Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust with offices at 20 Soundview Marketplace, Port Washington, New York 11050 (the "Trust"). RECITALS WHEREAS, The Trust desires to continue the employment of Senior Officer as Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, and Senior Officer desires to be employed by the Trust as Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary; and WHEREAS, Senior Officer has requested the Trust to enter into a severance agreement and the Trust is willing to do so. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreement set forth herein, the parties hereby agree as follows: 1. Termination of Employment and Change in Control. (a) Senior Officer's employment hereunder may be terminated at any time under the following circumstances: (i) Cause. The Trust shall have the right to terminate Senior Officer's employment for Cause upon Senior Officer's: (A) willful and continued failure substantially to perform his duties hereunder (other than any such failure resulting from Senior Officer's incapacity due to physical or mental illness) which failure continues for a period of ten (10) days after written demand for substantial performance is delivered by the Trust specifically identifying the manner in which the Trust believes the Senior Officer has not substantially performed his duties; (B) willful misconduct or (C) conviction of, or plea of guilty to a felony. For purposes of this subparagraph, no act, or failure to act, on Senior Officer's part shall be considered "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by him (i) not in good faith and (ii) without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in furtherance of the interests of the Trust. (ii) Death. Senior Officer's employment hereunder shall terminate upon his death. (iii) Disability. The Trust shall have the right to terminate Senior Officer's employment due to "Disability" in the event that there is a determination by the Trust that the Senior Officer has become physically or mentally incapable of performing his duties under this Agreement and such disability has disabled the Senior Officer for a cumulative period of one hundred eighty (180) days within a twelve (12) month period.

(iv) Good Reason. The Senior Officer shall have the right to terminate his employment for "Good Reason": (A) upon the occurrence of any material breach of this Agreement by the Trust which shall include but not be limited to: a material, adverse alteration in the nature of Senior Officer's duties, responsibilities, or authority; (B) upon a reduction in Senior Officer's Annual Base Salary or a material reduction in other benefits (except for bonuses or similar discretionary payments) as in effect at the time in question, or a failure to pay such amounts when due which is not cured by the Trust within ten (10) days after written notice of such default by the Senior Officer, (C) if the Trust relocates Senior Officer's office requiring the Senior Officer to increase his commuting time by more than one hour, then the Senior Officer shall have the right to terminate his employment, which termination shall be deemed for Good Reason. (v) Without Cause. The Trust shall have the right to terminate the Senior Officer's employment hereunder Without Cause subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. (vi) Change in Control. The Senior Officer shall have the right to terminate his employment hereunder on or within three (3) months following a Change in Control. Such termination shall be deemed a termination for Good Reason hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement "Change in Control" shall mean that any of the following events has occurred: (A) any "person" or "group" of persons, as such terms are used in Sections 13 and 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), other than any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Trust, becomes the "beneficial owner", as such term is used in Section 13 of the Exchange Act (irrespective of any vesting or waiting periods) of (i) Common Shares or any class of stock convertible into Common Shares and/or (ii) Common OP Units or preferred units or any other class of units convertible into Common OP Units, in an amount equal to thirty (30%) percent or more of the sum total of the Common Shares and the Common OP Units (treating all classes of outstanding Common Shares, units or other securities convertible into Common Shares as if they were converted into Common Shares or Common OP Units, as the case may be, and then treating Common Shares and Common OP Units as if they were a single class) issued and outstanding immediately prior to such acquisition as if they were a single class and disregarding any equity raise in connection with the financing of such transaction; or (B) the dissolution or liquidation of the Trust or the consummation of any merger or consolidation of the Trust if the shareholders of the Trust and unit holders of the Partnership taken as a whole and considered as one class immediately before such transaction own, 2

immediately after consummation of such transaction, equity securities and partnership units possessing less than fifty (50%) percent of the surviving or acquiring Trust and partnership taken as a whole; or (C) or any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets, or a sale or other disposition of at least 51% (based upon gross asset value) of the core assets (defined as those properties formerly marketed by Credit Suisse First Boston as the core portfolio of the Company) or (D) a turnover, during any two (2) year period, of the majority of the members of the Board, without the consent of the remaining members of the Board as to the appointment of the new Board members. (b) Notice of Termination Any termination of Senior Officer's employment by the Trust or any such termination by the Senior Officer (other than on account of death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Senior Officer's employment under the provision so indicated. In the event of the termination of Senior Officer's employment on account of death, written Notice of Termination shall be deemed to have been provided on the date of death. 2. Compensation Upon Termination of Employment By the Trust for Cause or Voluntarily By The Senior Officer. In the event the Trust terminates Senior Officer's employment for Cause, or the Senior Officer voluntarily terminates his employment, the Trust shall pay the Senior Officer any unpaid Annual Base Salary at the rate then in effect accrued through and including the date of termination and any accrued vacation pay ("Unpaid Accrued Salary"). In addition, in such event, the Senior Officer shall be entitled to exercise any options which, as of the date of termination, have vested and are exercisable in accordance with the terms of the applicable option grant agreement or plan. All options and all restricted stock granted to the Senior Officer which have not vested on the date of termination shall automatically terminate. Except for any rights which the Senior Officer may have to Unpaid Accrued Salary through and including the date of termination, and vested options and stock, the Trust shall have no further obligations hereunder following such termination. The aforesaid amounts shall be payable in full immediately upon such termination. 3. Compensation Upon Termination of Employment Upon Disability, Without Cause or By Senior Officer for Good Reason. In the event of termination of Senior Officer's employment as a result of Senior Officer's Disability, Without Cause or by Senior Officer for Good Reason, the Trust shall pay to the Senior Officer, the following: 3

(i) any Unpaid Accrued Salary through and including the date of termination; plus (ii) an amount equal to one year's salary at the then current annual base salary (before any reductions) (the "Severance Salary"); plus (iii) reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to date of termination ("Expense Reimbursement"); plus (iv) the Senior Officer's car allowance, if any, for one year (the "Car Allowance"); plus (v) a pro rata portion of Senior Officer's bonus (based upon the average of the last two years' bonuses); plus In the event of termination of or resignation by Senior Officer because of a Change in Control, in addition to the above amounts, (vi) the Trust shall pay to the Senior Officer an amount equal to six months' base salary (the "Change of Control Retention Payment"); and (vii) the Trust shall continue Senior Officer's base salary and medical benefits for a period not to exceed the earlier of (a) six months from the date of such termination or (b) the date when Senior Officer becomes reemployed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Senior Officer's employment is terminated Without Cause, or the Senior Officer terminates his employment for Good Reason prior to a Change of Control and subsequently an event is announced within six months of his termination which, when consummated, would constitute a Change of Control, then the Senior Officer shall be entitled to the payment described in Section 3(vi) upon consummation. In addition, all (A) incentive compensation payments or programs of any nature whether stock based or otherwise that are subject to a vesting schedule, including without limitation restricted stock, phantom stock, units and any loan forgiveness arrangements granted to the Senior Officer ("Incentive Compensation") shall immediately vest as of the date of such termination ("Vested Incentive Compensation") and (B) options granted to the Senior Officer shall immediately vest as of the date of such termination (the "Vested Options") and the Senior Officer shall be entitled at the option of the Senior Officer, his estate or his personal representative, within three years of the date of such termination, to exercise any options which have vested (including, without limitation, by acceleration in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, the applicable option grant agreement or the current Acadia stock option plan (the "Plan")) and are exercisable in accordance with the terms of the applicable option grant agreement or plan and/or any other methods or procedures for exercise applicable to optionees. 4

Except for any rights which the Senior Officer may have to all of the above including unpaid Accrued Salary, Severance Salary, Vested Incentive Compensation, Vested Options, Expense Reimbursement, the Car Allowance and the Bonus, the Trust shall have no further obligations hereunder following such termination. The parties both agree that the agreement to make these payments was consideration and an inducement to obtain Senior Officer's consent to enter into this Agreement. The payments are not a penalty and neither party will claim them to be a penalty. Rather, the payments represent a fair approximation of reasonable amounts due to the Senior Officer. 4. Change in Control. (a) Options. Any options granted to the Senior Officer that have not vested as of the date of a Change in Control shall immediately vest upon the date of the Change in Control. Neither the occurrence of a Change in Control, nor the vesting in any options as a result thereof shall require the Senior Officer to exercise any options. (b) Restricted Stock. Any restricted stock granted to the Senior Officer that have not vested as of the date of a Change in Control shall immediately vest upon the date of the Change in Control. In the event of a conflict between any restricted stock agreement or the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control. (c) Upon Termination. If the surviving entity terminates Senior's Officer's employment Without Cause, the Trust shall pay to the Senior Officer, and the Senior Officer shall be entitled to, all the payments and rights the Senior Officer would have had if the Senior Officer had terminated his employment with Good Reason as set forth in Paragraph 3, including the payments due under Paragraph 3.(vi) and (vii), but less the value of any severance payments Senior Officer receives from the surviving entity after the date of the Change of Control. The rights described herein are subject to the provisions of Section 6(b). 5. Indemnification/Legal Fees. (a) Indemnification. In the event the Senior Officer is made party or threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a "Proceeding"), by reason of Senior Officer's employment with or serving as an officer of the Trust, whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity, the Trust shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Senior Officer to the fullest extent authorized by Maryland law, as the same exists and may hereafter be amended, against any and all claims, demands, suits, judgments, assessments and settlements including all expenses incurred or suffered by Senior Officer in connection therewith (including, without limitation, all legal fees incurred using counsel reasonably acceptable to Senior Officer) and such indemnification shall continue as to Senior Officer even after Senior Officer is no longer employed by the Trust and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors, and administrators. Expenses incurred by Senior Officer in connection with any Proceeding shall be paid by the Trust in advance upon request of Senior Officer that the Trust pay such expenses; but only in the event that Senior Officer shall have delivered in writing to the Trust an undertaking to reimburse the Trust for expenses with respect to which Senior Officer is not entitled to indemnification. The provisions of this Paragraph shall remain in effect after this Agreement is terminated irrespective of the reasons for termination. The indemnification provisions of this Paragraph shall not supersede or reduce any indemnification provided to Senior Officer under any separate agreement, or the by-laws of the Trust since it is intended that this Agreement shall expand and extend the Senior Officer's rights to receive indemnity. 5

(b) Legal Fees. If any contest or dispute shall arise between the Trust and Senior Officer regarding or as a result of any provision of this Agreement, the Trust shall reimburse Senior Officer for all legal fees and expenses reasonably incurred by Senior Officer in connection with such contest or dispute, but only if Senior Officer is successful in respect of substantially all of Senior Officer's claims pursued or defended in connection with such contest or dispute. Such reimbursement shall be made as soon as practicable following the resolution of such contest or dispute (whether or not appealed). 6. Successors and Assigns, Term. (a) The Trust shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Trust, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Senior Officer, to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Trust would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Failure of the Trust to obtain any such agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle Senior Officer to compensation from the Trust in the same amount and on the same terms as he would be entitled to hereunder if Senior Officer terminated his employment for Good Reason hereunder in accordance with the terms as set forth in Paragraph 1.(a)(iv), except that for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the date of termination. In the event of such a breach of this Agreement, the Notice of Termination shall specify such date as the date of termination. As used in this Agreement, "Trust" shall mean the Trust as hereinbefore defined and any successor to all or substantially all of its business and/or its assets as aforesaid which executes and delivers the Agreement provided for in this Paragraph 6 or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law. Any cash payments owed to Senior Officer pursuant to this Paragraph 6 shall be paid to Senior Officer in a single sum without discount for early payment immediately prior to the consummation of the transaction with such successor. Nothing in this Paragraph 6(a) shall be construed to interfere with the Trust's right to implement or pursue such succession. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement, including the obligations described in Section 4.(c), shall terminate and be of no further force and effect 18 months from the date of a Change of Control. 7. Timing of and No Duplication of Payments. All payments payable to Senior Officer pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid as soon as practicable after such amounts have become fully vested and determinable. In addition, Senior Officer shall not be entitled to receive duplicate payments under any of the provisions of this Agreement. 6

8. Modification or Waiver. No amendment, modification, waiver, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be binding or effective for any purpose unless it is made in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of such amendment, modification, waiver, termination or cancellation is sought. No course of dealing between or among the parties to this Agreement shall be deemed to affect or to modify, amend or discharge any provision or term of this Agreement. No delay on the part of the Trust or Senior Officer in the exercise of any of their respective rights or remedies shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Trust or Senior Officer of any such right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof. A waiver of right to remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right or remedy on any other occasion. The respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall survive the Senior Officer's termination of employment and termination of this Agreement to the extent necessary for the intended preservation of such rights and obligations. 9. Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by hand or delivered by a recognized delivery service or mailed, postage prepaid, by express, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and addressed to the Trust at the address set forth above or Senior Officer at his address as set forth in the Trust records (or to such other address as shall have been previously provided in accordance with this Paragraph 10). 10. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 11. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision and term of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision or term of this Agreement shall be held to be prohibited by or invalid under such applicable law, then, such provision or term shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or affecting in any manner whatsoever the remainder of such provisions or term or the remaining provisions or terms of this Agreement. 7

12. Legal Representation. Each of the Trust and Senior Officer has had an opportunity to discuss this Agreement with counsel. 13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which is deemed to be an original and both of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. 14. Headings. The headings of the Paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. 15. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. 16. Survival of Agreements. The covenants made in Paragraphs 1 through 5 each shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 17. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding on the Trust, its successors and assigns, including any surviving entity resulting from a merger, consolidation or other corporate reorganization. 18. Senior Officer's Covenants. Senior Officer covenants and agrees that in the event he receives any compensation (other than compensation upon termination of employment by the Trust for Cause or voluntarily by the Senior Officer) pursuant to this Agreement, he shall not solicit for employment any personnel employed by the Trust at the time of his termination for a period of two years from his Date of Termination as long as such personnel is still employed by the Trust. Nothing contained herein to the contrary, however, shall prevent Senior Officer from providing a reference for any such personnel. 8

19. Confidentiality. Senior Officer and the Trust agree to keep this Agreement confidential to the extent permitted by law. Senior Officer agrees to keep confidential all information in his possession regarding the Company, its properties and its plans, which is not generally known to the public. 20. Excess Parachute Payments Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if any of the payments or benefits provided for in this Agreement, together with any other payments which Employee has a right to receive from the Company or any of its affiliates, constitute a "parachute payment", as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced, if necessary to the largest amount as will result in no portion of such payments being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, all as determined by the Company's regularly engaged independent public accountants. 21. Prior Understandings. This Agreement embodies the entire contract between the parties hereto with respect to employment and severance and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, written or oral, formal or informal by and between the Trust and the Senior Officer. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written. ACADIA REALTY TRUST By:___________________________ Kenneth F. Bernstein President ______________________________ Name: Robert Masters Title: Senior Vice President 9

PROMISSORY NOTE US $16,000,000.00 May 30, 2003 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, 239 GREENWICH ASSOCIATES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Connecticut limited partnership ("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 SIXTEEN MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS (US$16,000,000.00) (the "Principal"), with interest on the unpaid principal balance from the date of this Note, until paid, at the rate of five and nineteen one-hundredths percent (5.19%) 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." PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. On July 1, 2003 and on each Payment Date (as defined herein) thereafter through and including June 1, 2005, 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 $87,758.93 (the "Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount") beginning on July 1, 2005 (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 June 1, 2013 (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 first (1st) 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 July 1, 2003. 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. SECURITY; LOAN DOCUMENTS. The indebtedness evidenced by this Note is secured by, among other things, that certain Open-End 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.

B. 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 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. 4

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). 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 (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. 5

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. [NO FURTHER TEXT ON THIS PAGE; DOCUMENT CONTINUES ON NEXT PAGE] 6

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. 7

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"). Borrower agrees that such late charge and increased interest are reasonable and do not constitute a penalty. 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. 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. 8

This Note shall be the joint and several obligation of all makers, sureties, guarantors, and endorsers, and shall be binding upon them and their successors and assigns.

The holder hereof shall have the right to assign or transfer, in whole or in part (including the right to grant participation interests in) any or all of its obligations under this Note, the Instrument and any or all of the other Loan Documents. Lender shall be released of any obligations to the extent that the same are so assigned or transferred, and the rights and obligations of "Lender" hereunder shall become the rights and obligations of the transferee holder.

(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 2 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 due, in any order. The 7

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 for commercial or retail 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 Borrower furnishes to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender that all commercial tenants at the Property shall continue to operate their respective businesses at the Property after completion of such restoration or repair, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such fire or other casualty; 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 2 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 Aberdeen Properties, Inc., 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 9

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. 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 (with a review) by a "big four" accounting firm or another independent certified public accountant (accompanied by an unqualified opinion from such accounting firm or other 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender hereby approves of Berdon LLP as the aforementioned independent certified public accountant, provided, however, that Lender reserves the right to disapprove of Berdon LLP as the aforementioned independent certified public accountant (and to require a "big four" accounting firm or another independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Lender) if in Lender's reasonable opinion, Berdon LLP is not preparing the requisite financial statements substantially in accordance with the provisions contained herein. 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 30th 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 10

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. 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 $250,000 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 with the prior consent of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; 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 $250,000 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 11

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 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 12

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 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 (A) residential space at the Property or (B) less than 4,000 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 for commercial and retail tenants at the Property, 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 13

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 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 of commercial or retail space 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, 14

either orally or in writing, any lease of commercial or retail space at the Property now existing or hereafter made of all or any part of the Property, (2) surrender or terminate, either orally or in writing, any lease of residential space at the Property (except in the exercise of Borrower's commercially reasonable judgment in connection with a tenant default under such lease of residential space), (3) permit an assignment or sublease of a lease, or (4) request or consent to the subordination of any lease of all or any part of the Property to any lien subordinate to this Instrument. 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 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 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, 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 21

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 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. 22

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 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 23

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. 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. 24

"Legal Requirements": statutes, laws, rules, orders, regulations, ordinances, judgments, decrees and injunctions of Governmental Authorities affecting Borrower, any Loan Document or all or part of the Property or the construction, ownership, use, alteration or operation thereof, whether now or hereafter enacted and in force, and all permits, licenses and authorizations and regulations relating thereto, and all covenants, agreements, restrictions and encumbrances contained in any instrument, either of record or known to Borrower, at any time in force affecting all or part of the Property. "Net Operating Income": for any period, the underwritten net cash flow of the Property determined by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion in accordance with Lender's then current underwriting standards for loans of this type and the then current underwriting standards of the Rating Agencies (including adjustments for market vacancy, bankrupt tenants, leasing costs and capital items). "Officer's Certificate": a certificate delivered to Lender by Borrower which is signed by a senior executive officer of the Managing Entity. "Payment Date": the 1st day of each calendar month or, upon Lender's exercise of its right to change the Payment Date in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Note, the New Payment Date (as defined in the Note) (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 July 1, 2003. "Permitted Investments": any investment suitable for the investment of escrows and reserves established under mortgage loans included in a Securitization in which some or all of the certificates issued are rated "AAA" (or the equivalent rating) by the Rating Agencies, as the standards therefor are established from time to time, or such investments which are otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender. If the Loan is subject to a Securitization, then the Rating Agencies referred to immediately above shall be the Rating Agencies that have rated the securities issued in such Securitization.

"Rollover Sweep Event": if any commercial tenant at the Property (A) shall discontinue its business at its premises (i.e., "goes dark") or give notice that it intends to discontinue its business or (B) is the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding (and the subject lease has not been affirmed or assumed and assigned). "Rollover Sweep Period": shall commence upon the occurrence of a Rollover Sweep Event, and shall end upon the earlier to occur of (A) such time as the aggregate amount deposited into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section 25 equals or exceeds an amount equal to $25.00 multiplied by the aggregate square feet of space demised under the Lease which was the subject of the Rollover Sweep Event or (B) if the portion of the Property which was the subject of the Rollover Sweep Event has been leased to a new tenant pursuant to a Lease entered into in accordance with the provisions of this Instrument (1) the receipt by Lender of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all Approved Leasing Expenses in connection therewith have been paid in full and (2) the receipt by Lender of an estoppel certificate from such new tenant in which such new tenant certifies that the Lease is in full force and effect, all conditions precedent to the commencement of rent under such Lease have been satisfied, such new tenant has accepted delivery of the demised premises and the payment of rent under such Lease has commenced. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Rollover Sweep Period is triggered by the occurrence of an event described in clause (B) of the definition of Rollover Sweep Event, such Rollover Sweep Period shall also end upon the assumption of the applicable lease by the tenant thereunder pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. (b) Cash Management Arrangements. Borrower shall cause all Rents to be transmitted directly by non-residential tenants of the Property into a trust account (the "Clearing Account") maintained by Borrower at a local bank selected by Borrower, which shall at all times be an Eligible Institution (the "Clearing Bank") as more fully described in the Clearing Account Agreement. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, all Rents received by Borrower or Manager shall be deposited into the Clearing Account within one Business Day of receipt. Funds deposited into the Clearing Account shall be swept by the Clearing Bank on a daily basis into Borrower's operating account at the Clearing Bank, unless a Cash Management Period is continuing, in which event such funds shall be swept on a daily basis into an Eligible Account (as defined in the Deposit Account Agreement) at the Deposit Bank controlled by Lender (the "Deposit Account") and applied and disbursed in accordance with this Instrument. Funds in the Deposit Account shall be invested at Lender's discretion only in Permitted Investments. Lender will also establish subaccounts of the Deposit Account which shall at all times be Eligible Accounts (and may be ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts) (such subaccounts are referred to herein 28

as "Subaccounts"). The Deposit Account and any Subaccount will be under the sole control and dominion of Lender, and Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal therefrom. Borrower shall pay for all expenses of opening and maintaining all of the above accounts. (c) Intentionally Deleted. (d) Taxes and Insurance. (i) Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (1) one-twelfth of the yearly Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next 12 months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least 30 days prior to their respective due dates and (2) one-twelfth of the insurance premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of a separate "stand-alone" policy providing the coverage afforded by the insurance policies required under this Instrument upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such insurance premiums at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the insurance policies. 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. 29

(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 (ii) 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. (e) Capital Expense Reserves. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date an amount initially equal to the sum of (i) one-twelfth of the product obtained by multiplying $250 by the number of residential units at the Property and (ii) one-twelfth of the product obtained by multiplying $0.15 by the aggregate number of rentable square feet of commercial space in the Property. Lender will transfer such amounts into a Subaccount (the "Capital Reserve Subaccount"). Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Capital Reserve Subaccount to Borrower, within 15 days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least $5,000 provided that (i) such disbursement is for an Approved Capital Expense; (ii) Lender shall have (if it desires) verified (by an inspection conducted at Borrower's expense) performance of the work associated with such Approved Capital Expense; and (iii) the request for disbursement is accompanied by (A) an Officer's Certificate certifying (1) that such funds will be used to pay or reimburse Borrower for Approved Capital Expenses and a description thereof, (2) that all outstanding trade payables (other than those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those constituting Permitted Indebtedness) have been paid in full, (3) that the same has not been the subject of a previous disbursement, and (4) that all previous disbursements have been used to pay the previously identified Approved Capital Expenses, and (B) for any such disbursement of more than $25,000, at Lender's option (which option shall be exercised in Lender's reasonable judgment), a title search for the Property indicating that the Property is free from all Liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender and (C) such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Approved Capital Expenditures at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower. 30

(f) Rollover Reserves. 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. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Rollover Reserve Subaccount to Borrower, within 15 days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least $5,000, provided (i) such disbursement is for an Approved Leasing Expense; (ii) Lender shall have (if it desires) verified (by an inspection conducted at Borrower's expense) performance of any construction work associated with such Approved Leasing Expense; and (iii) the request for disbursement is accompanied by (A) an Officer's Certificate certifying (1) that such funds will be used only to pay (or reimburse Borrower for) Approved Leasing Expenses and a description thereof, (2) that all outstanding trade payables (other than those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those constituting Permitted Indebtedness) have been paid in full, (3) that the same has not been the subject of a previous disbursement, and (4) that all previous disbursements have been used only to pay (or reimburse Borrower for) the previously identified Approved Leasing Expenses, and (B) reasonably detailed supporting documentation as to the amount, necessity and purpose therefor. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the remaining funds in the Rollover Reserve Subaccount (to the extent not drawn upon pursuant to this Section 25(f)) allocable to any specific portion of the commercial space at the Property which is the subject of the Rollover Sweep Event will be disbursed to Borrower within 10 days after written request therefor, provided that Borrower has delivered (i) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (y) such commercial space has been re-let pursuant to Leases entered into in accordance with this Instrument and (z) all Approved Leasing Expenses which have been incurred or which Lender anticipates will be incurred with respect to such space have been paid in full and (ii) an estoppel certificate from the applicable tenant occupying such portion of the commercial space at the Property in a form reasonably satisfactory to Lender pursuant to which such tenant certifies to Lender that (1) such tenant has taken occupancy of its demised premises, (2) all of the conditions precedent to such tenant's obligation to commence the payment of rent under its Lease have been satisfied (including Borrower's contribution to the cost of any tenant improvement work) and (3) such tenant has commenced the payment of rent under its Lease. (g) Operating Expense Subaccount. 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"). Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Operating Expense Subaccount to Borrower, within 15 days after delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least $1,000, provided (i) such disbursement is for an Approved Operating Expense; and (ii) such disbursement is accompanied by (A) an Officer's Certificate certifying (1) that such funds will be used to pay Approved Operating Expenses and a description thereof, (2) that 31

all outstanding trade payables (other than those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those constituting Permitted Indebtedness) have been paid in full, (3) that the same has not been the subject of a previous disbursement, and (4) that all previous disbursements have been or will be used to pay the previously identified Approved Operating Expenses, and (B) reasonably detailed documentation satisfactory to Lender as to the amount, necessity and purpose therefor. (h) Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount. Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Lender all insurance proceeds or Awards due to any Casualty or Condemnation which Borrower is required to deposit with Lender to be transferred to a Subaccount (the "Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount") in accordance with the provisions of Sections 5 and 11. All amounts in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount shall be disbursed in accordance with the provisions of Sections 5 and 11. (i) Security Deposits. Borrower shall keep all security deposits under Leases at a separately designated account under Borrower's control at the Clearing Bank (and in the case of a letter of credit, assigned with full power of attorney and executed sight drafts to Lender) so that the security deposits shall not be commingled with any other funds of Borrower (such account, the "Security Deposit Account"). 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). (j) Cash Collateral Subaccount. If a Cash Management Period shall have commenced, then on the immediately succeeding Payment Date and on each Payment Date thereafter during the continuance of such Cash Management Period, all Available Cash shall be paid to Lender, which amounts shall be transferred by Lender into a Subaccount (the "Cash Collateral Subaccount") as cash collateral for Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents. At Lender's option, 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 whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is 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 Prepayment Consideration (as defined in the Note) applicable thereto). 32

(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 for Approved Operating Expenses as required under paragraph (g) of this Section 25; (vi) Sixth, during the continuance of a 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 (vii) 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. 33

(ii) The failure of Borrower to make all of the payments required under clauses (i) through (vii) 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. Except as provided in this Section, Lender shall not seek (a) any judgment for a deficiency against Borrower, any general partner or member of Borrower, or Borrower's successors or assigns, in any action to enforce any right or remedy under the Note, this Instrument or the other Loan Documents, or (b) any judgment on the Note except as may be necessary in any action brought under the Instrument to enforce the lien against the Property or any other Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower and any general partner of Borrower shall be fully and personally liable for payment and performance of all obligations set forth in the Loan Documents, including the payment of all principal, interest, and other amounts under the Note, in the event of (i) the occurrence of an uncured default under Sections 15, 16 or 29 of this Instrument, or (ii) the occurrence of any condition or event described in Section 20 (except that in the event of involuntary proceedings described therein, neither Borrower nor any general partner of Borrower shall be fully and personally liable under this Section 26 unless either Borrower or any general partner of Borrower or any Person owning an interest (directly or indirectly) in Borrower or any general partner of Borrower consents to, aids, solicits, supports, or otherwise cooperates or colludes to cause such event or fails to contest such event). Further, Borrower and any general partner of Borrower shall be personally liable in the amount of any loss, damage or cost resulting from (a) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower in connection with obtaining the loan evidenced by the Note, (b) insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, or other sums or payments attributable to the Property not applied in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents (except to the extent that Borrower did not have the legal right, because of a bankruptcy, receivership or similar judicial proceeding, to direct disbursement of such sums or payments), (c) all 34

rents, profits, issues, products and income of the Property received or collected by or on behalf of Borrower after and during an Event of Default and not applied to payment of principal and interest due under the Note, and to the payment of actual and reasonable operating expenses of the Property, as they become due or payable (except to the extent that such application of such funds is prevented by bankruptcy, receivership, or similar judicial proceeding in which Borrower is legally prevented from directing the disbursement of such sums), (d) misappropriation (including failure to turn over to Lender on demand following an Event of Default) of tenant security deposits and rents collected in advance, or of funds held by Borrower for the benefit of another party, or (e) Borrower's failure to pay transfer fees and charges due Lender under the Loan Documents in connection with any subordinate financing or any transfer of all or any part of the Property, or any interest therein, from Borrower to Borrower's transferee, or transfer of any beneficial interest in Borrower (if Borrower is not a natural person or persons but is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other legal entity) other than a Permitted Transfer, or (f) failure by Borrower, any general partner of Borrower, or any indemnitor or guarantor to comply with the covenants, obligations, liabilities, warranties and representations contained in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement or otherwise pertaining to environmental matters, or (g) in the event Lender has waived (or Borrower has failed to pay) the monthly collection for real and personal property taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or ground rents, then failure by Borrower to pay any or all such taxes, assessments, premiums and rents, or (h) in the event that Lender has waived (or Borrower has not complied with) the requirement for third party property management, then any management fee taken by Borrower or any principal or affiliate of Borrower after an Event of Default, or (i) breach of any of Sections 15, 16 or 29 of this Instrument, or (j) the occurrence of any condition or event described in Section 20 (except that in the event of involuntary proceedings described therein, neither Borrower nor any general partner of Borrower shall be fully and personally liable under this Section 26 unless either Borrower or any general partner of Borrower or any Person owning an interest (directly or indirectly) in Borrower or any general partner of Borrower consents to, aids, solicits, supports, or otherwise cooperates or colludes to cause such event or fails to contest such event). No provision of this Section shall (i) affect the enforcement of the Environmental Indemnity Agreement or any guaranty or similar agreement executed in connection with the debt evidenced by the Note, (ii) release or reduce the debt evidenced by the Note, (iii) impair the lien of this Instrument, (iv) impair the rights of Lender to enforce any provisions of this Instrument, (v) limit Lender's ability to obtain a deficiency judgment or judgment on the Note or otherwise against Borrower to the extent necessary to obtain any amount for which Borrower may be liable in accordance with this Section.

Borrower has no contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments, unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments or any liabilities or obligations not expressly permitted by this Instrument. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower or the Property from that set forth in said financial statements. (m) Claims, Litigation.

(q) Enforceability of Loan Documents. The Loan Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Borrower and constitute valid and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms. No approval, consent, order or authorization of any governmental authority and no designation, registration, declaration or filing with any governmental authority is required in connection with the execution and delivery of the Note, this Instrument or any other Loan Document. Neither Borrower nor any guarantor or indemnitor has any defense or offset to the 38

enforcement of any Loan Document, or any claim against Lender. Neither Borrower nor any guarantor or indemnitor has any right whatsoever against Lender other than the express contractual obligations of Lender set forth in the Loan Documents. Any rights or claims contrary to this provision, whether known or unknown, are hereby expressly waived. (r) Non-contravention. The execution and delivery of the Loan Documents will not violate or contravene in any way the articles of incorporation or bylaws or partnership agreement, articles of organization or operating agreement as the case may be, of Borrower or any indenture, agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which it or its property may be bound, or be in conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under any such indenture, agreement or other instrument, result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the property or assets of Borrower, except as contemplated by the provisions of such Loan Documents, and no action or approval with respect thereto by any third person is required. (s) Homestead. No part of the Property is all or a part of Borrower's homestead or the homestead of anyone. (t) Utilities. The Property is served by all utilities required for the current or contemplated use thereof. All utility service is provided by public utilities and the Property has accepted or is equipped to accept such utility service. (u) Public Roads.

(v) Water and Sewers. The Property is serviced by public water and sewer systems. (w) Damage. The Property is free from damage caused by fire or other casualty. (x) Waste Disposal. All liquid and solid waste disposal, septic and sewer systems located on the Property are in a good and safe condition and repair and in compliance with all applicable laws. (y) Agreements. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might adversely affect Borrower or the Property, or Borrower's business, properties, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Permitted Encumbrance or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or the Property is bound. (z) No Plan Assets. As of the date hereof and throughout the entire term of the loan evidenced by the Note and this Instrument (the "Term") (i) Borrower is not and will not be an "employee benefit plan," as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute "plan assets" of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, (iii) Borrower is not and 39

will not be a "governmental plan" within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (iv) transactions by or with Borrower are not and will not be subject to state statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans. (aa) Federal Reserve Regulations; Investment Company Act. No part of the proceeds of the loan evidenced by the Note, this Instrument and the other Loan Documents will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any "margin stock" within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose that would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other regulation of such Board of Governors, or for any purpose prohibited by Legal Requirements (as defined in Section 25 hereof) or any Loan Document. Borrower is not (i) an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company," within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (ii) a "holding company" or a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company" or an "affiliate" of either a "holding company" or a "subsidiary company" within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended; or (iii) subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money. (bb) Fraudulent Transfer. Borrower has not entered into the loan evidenced by the Note, this Instrument and the other Loan Documents, or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and Borrower has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of Borrower's assets exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed Borrower's total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower's assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower). (cc) No Other Debt.

Borrower shall not undertake or commence any alterations of any improvements on the Property the cost of which is in excess of five percent of the then original principal amount of the Note, without the prior written consent of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, withhold consent to any alteration the cost of which is reasonably estimated to exceed $2,000,000. 40

Borrower shall from time to time, at the request of Lender, (i) promptly correct any defect, error or omission which may be discovered in the contents of this Instrument or in any other Loan Document or in the execution or acknowledgment thereof; (ii) execute, acknowledge, deliver and record and/or file such further documents or instruments (including, without limitation, further mortgages, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, assignments of rents or leases and environmental indemnity agreements) and perform such further acts and provide such further assurances as may be necessary, desirable or proper, in Lender's opinion, to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Instrument and such other instruments and to subject to the liens and security interests hereof and thereof any property intended by the terms hereof or thereof to be covered hereby or thereby, including specifically, but without limitation, any renewals, additions, substitutions, replacements, or appurtenances to the Property; provided that such documents or instruments do not materially increase Borrower's liability under the Loan Documents; and (iii) execute, acknowledge, deliver, procure, and file and/or record any document or instrument (including specifically, but without limitation, any financing statement) deemed advisable by Lender to protect the liens and the security interests herein granted against the rights or interests of third persons; provided that such documents or instruments do not materially increase Borrower's liability under the Loan Documents.

(d) Minerals. Borrower shall not permit any drilling or exploration for or extraction, removal or production of any mineral, natural element, compound or substance from the surface or subsurface of the Property regardless of the depth thereof or the method of mining or extraction thereof.

Borrower shall not change, or permit Managing Entity to change, its name, identity (including its trade name or names) or employer identification number, in any such case, without notifying Lender of such change in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such change. Borrower shall deliver, or cause Managing Entity to deliver, to Lender, prior to or contemporaneously with the effective date of any such change, any financing statement or financing statement change reasonably required by Lender, if any, to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interests granted herein. 41

Lender's failure to approve or disapprove any Annual Budget or revision within 30 days after Lender's receipt thereof shall be deemed to constitute Lender's approval thereof. The Annual Budget shall consist of (i) an operating expense budget showing, on a month-by-month basis, in reasonable detail, each line item of the Borrower's anticipated operating income and operating expenses (on a cash and accrual basis), including amounts required to establish, maintain and/or increase any monthly payments required hereunder (and once such Annual Budget has been approved (or deemed approved pursuant to the terms of this Section 28(h)) by Lender, such operating expense budget shall be referred to herein as the "Approved Operating Budget"), and (ii) a Capital Expense budget showing, on a month-by-month basis, in reasonable detail, each line item of anticipated Capital Expenses (and once such Annual Budget has been approved (or deemed approved pursuant to the terms of this Section 28(h)) by Lender, such Capital Expense budget shall be referred to herein as the "Approved Capital Budget").

UNIFORM INSTRUMENT; GOVERNING LAW; SEVERABILITY. This form of instrument combines uniform covenants for national use and non-uniform covenants with limited variations by jurisdiction to constitute a uniform security instrument covering real property and related fixtures and personal property. 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, EXCEPT THAT AT ALL TIMES THE PROVISIONS FOR THE CREATION, PERFECTION, AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE LIENS AND SECURITY INTERESTS CREATED PURSUANT HERETO AND PURSUANT TO THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED ACCORDING TO THE LAW OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED, IT BEING UNDERSTOOD THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF SUCH STATE, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND ENFORCEABILITY OF ALL LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ALL OF THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER. 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 MORTGAGE 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 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 47

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. (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 48

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 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. 49

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.

For purposes herein, Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall mean the ratio, as of any date of calculation, for the immediately preceding six (6) month period and the immediately succeeding six (6) month period, calculated by dividing: (a) the Net Operating Income for the preceding six (6) month period and the immediately six (6) month period; by (b) principal and interest payments based on a 25 year self liquidating mortgage amortization schedule, and the 10-year treasury rate plus 2.00% with a floor rate of 8.0% assuming a loan in the aggregate amount of the outstanding principal balance under this Note and the Original Note. (f) At the time of the payment of the Earn-out or a part thereof, a continuation of title shall demonstrate that there are no encumbrances, unpaid Impositions or liens assessed against the Mortgaged Premises except for Permitted Encumbrances (such title continuations shall be at Maker's sole cost and expense). (g) No Event of Default under the Original Mortgage. 6. Payment of Interest on and Number of LIBOR Advances. If a LIBOR Advance is outstanding, then in addition to the monthly payments of interest required under PARAGRAPH 2(b) hereof, all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such LIBOR Advance shall be due and payable on the last day of the Interest Period. In no event may there be more than three (3) Interest Periods in effect at any one time, and the entire Principal Amount outstanding need not bear interest at the same Applicable Rate. 7. Suspension of the LIBOR. If Payee determines that Payee's making or maintaining LIBOR Advances is unlawful for any reason, then Payee may suspend the availability of the LIBOR Rate and immediately convert any outstanding LIBOR Advance to a Prime Rate Advance. Payee shall immediately notify Maker of any such conversion and Maker shall pay to Payee, on demand, (i) all accrued and unpaid interest on the LIBOR Advance to the date of such conversion, plus (ii) such amounts as Payee shall require to compensate it for the costs of converting any such LIBOR Advance to a Prime Rate Advance. The certificate of Payee as to any amounts payable pursuant to this PARAGRAPH shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on Maker. No LIBOR Notices electing the LIBOR Rate shall be given by Maker thereafter until Payee determines that LIBOR Advances would be lawful. 10

8. Increases in Cost. In the event that at any time or from time to time any domestic or foreign requirement of law, regulation, order or decree or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Payee with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental, fiscal, monetary or other authority (i) does or shall subject Payee to any tax, duty, charge or withholding on or from payments due from Maker (excluding taxation of the income of Payee); or (ii) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable or change any reserve (including, without limitation, basic, supplemental, marginal, special or emergency reserves but not including reserve requirements already taken into account in calculating the LIBOR Rate), special deposit, compulsory deposit or similar requirement with respect to assets of, deposits with or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by Payee; or (iii) does or shall impose on Payee any other condition or change therein and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Payee of making available to Maker, converting from or to, or maintaining LIBOR Advances, then, and in any such event, Payee shall notify Maker in writing of such occurrence setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and amounts of such increased costs, and Maker shall pay to Payee, on demand, such amounts as will compensate Payee for such increased costs. The certificate of Payee as to any amounts payable pursuant to this PARAGRAPH shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on Maker. 9. Loan Covenants. (a) At all times while the indebtedness remains outstanding, the Loan to Value shall not exceed 65%, based upon the then most recent Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property reviewed and found acceptable by the Maker. (b) At all times while the indebtedness remains outstanding, the Maker shall maintain a "Debt Service Coverage Ratio" (as hereinafter defined) of not less than 1.30 to 1, to be tested semi-annually, as of June 30, 2004 and each subsequent December 31 and June 30 (the "Accounting Date"). Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall mean, for purposes herein, the ratio, as of any date of calculation, for the immediately preceding six (6) month period and the immediately succeeding six (6) month period, calculated by dividing: (a) the Net Operating Income for the preceding six (6) month period and the immediately succeeding six (6) month period; by (b) principal and interest payments based on a 25 year self liquidating mortgage amortization schedule, and the 10-year treasury rate plus 2.00% with a floor rate of 8.00% assuming a loan in the aggregate outstanding amount of the principal balance of this Note and the Original Note. (c) At all times while the Indebtedness remains outstanding, Acadia shall maintain a minimum "Net Worth" of at least $50,000,000.00, to be determined by Maker based upon the financial statements required to be submitted to Maker pursuant to SECTION 2.10.6 hereof. 11

(d) At all times while the Indebtedness remains outstanding, Acadia shall maintain minimum liquidity of at least $7,000,000.00, to be determined by Maker based upon the financial statements required to be submitted to Maker pursuant to SECTION 2.10.6 hereof. (e) In the event of the Maker's failure to comply with SUBPARAGRAPHS (a),(b) (c) or (d) directly hereinabove, the Maker shall have the following options prior to the Maker's non-compliance resulting in an Event of Default under the Mortgage: (i) Within 45 days of notice by the Maker to the Maker that the Maker has breached the applicable covenant(s), the Maker shall provide additional collateral in the form of cash collateral, marketable securities, real estate, and/or letter(s) of credit, acceptable in form, quality, value and amounts to the Maker in its sole discretion so that after the delivery of such collateral, the applicable covenant violation shall have been cured, to the satisfaction of Lender, in its sole discretion, or (ii) Within 45 days of notice by the Maker to the Maker that the Maker has breached the applicable covenant(s), the Maker shall reduce the Principal Amount so that after such prepayment, the applicable covenant violation shall have been cured, to the satisfaction of the Maker, in its sole discretion. (f) Within ninety (90) days after the Accounting Date, Maker shall furnish to Payee detailed calculations of Net Operating Income and Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the current accounting period and upon which satisfaction of the provisions of PARAGRAPH 9(b) are to be determined, and certified as true and accurate, in a manner acceptable to Payee, by the chief financial officer of the Guarantor as having been prepared under his supervision in accordance with the Accounting Principles consistently applied and with the definitions of Net Operating Income and Debt Service Coverage Ratio and that he knows of no facts inconsistent with such calculations. 10. Prepayment. (a) On any Business Day during the term hereof that the Applicable Rate is based upon the Prime Rate or on a date which is the last day of an Interest Period, upon not less than three Business Days written notice to Payee specifying the date on which prepayment is to be made, Maker shall have the privilege of prepaying, without payment of a premium or penalty, that portion of the unpaid balance of the Principal Amount, in whole or in part, as to which the Applicable Rate is based upon the Prime Rate or as to which an Interest Period is ending, which parts shall be in integral multiplies of $50,000 together with all accrued and unpaid interest on the Principal Amount so prepaid to the date of prepayment, and together also with accrued and unpaid interest or other sums or charges, if any, then due and owing hereunder or under the Loan Document(s), provided that any such prepayment shall be in a minimum amount of not less than $250,000. 12

(b) At any time during the term hereof that the Applicable Rate is based upon LIBOR upon not less than three Business Days prior written notice to Payee (which notice shall be irrevocable), Maker shall have the privilege of prepaying the unpaid balance of the Principal Amount, in whole or in part, which parts shall be in integral multiples of $50,000, prior to the last day of an Interest Period upon the required notice as aforesaid; provided that any such prepayment shall be in a minimum amount of not less than $250,000 and provided further that in addition to the payment of the whole or portion of the Principal Amount so to be prepaid, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other sums due hereunder or under the Loan Document(s), Maker shall pay Payee such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of Payee) to compensate Payee for any loss, costs or expenses Payee incurs with respect to the termination of any LIBOR contract and/or Hedge Agreement (as such term is defined in the Mortgage) that Payee or its designee has entered into to borrow funds in order to fund the Loan plus the following yield maintenance premium: Maker shall pay to Payee, upon request of Payee, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of Payee) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense incurred as a result of: (i) any payment of a LIBOR Loan on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; (ii) any failure by Maker to borrow a LIBOR Loan on the date specified by Maker's written notice; (iii) any failure by Maker to pay a LIBOR Loan on the date for payment specified in Maker's written notice. Without limiting the foregoing, Maker shall pay to Payee a "yield maintenance fee" in an amount computed as follows: 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 term chosen pursuant to the Fixed Rate Election as to which the prepayment is made, shall be subtracted from the LIBOR in effect at the time of prepayment. If the result is zero or a negative number, there shall be no yield maintenance fee. If the result is a positive number, then the resulting percentage shall be multiplied by the amount of the principal balance being prepaid. The resulting amount shall be divided by 360 and multiplied by the number of days remaining in the term chosen pursuant to the Fixed Rate Elections as to which the prepayment is made. Said amount shall be reduced to present value calculated by using the above referenced United States Treasury securities rate and the number of days remaining in the term chosen pursuant to the Fixed Rate Election as to which prepayment is made. The resulting amount shall be the yield maintenance fee due to Payee upon the payment of a LIBOR Loan. Each reference in this paragraph to "Fixed Rate Election" shall mean the election by Maker of the LIBOR Rate. If by reason of an Event of Default Payee elects to declare the Note to be immediately due and payable, then any yield maintenance fee with respect to a LIBOR Loan shall become due and payable in the same manner as though the Maker had exercised such right of prepayment. (c) Any payment required of Maker of the Principal Amount or any portion thereof after acceleration of the Maturity Date pursuant to any provisions hereof or of the Loan Document(s) shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment for the purposes hereof, and if a LIBOR Advance is then outstanding, Maker shall be required, on demand, to pay the prepayment premium, if any, calculated as aforesaid. (d) Any payments of the Principal Amount received by Payee pursuant to the terms of this PARAGRAPH 10 shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) first, to any accrued interest which is due and unpaid as of the date of such payment; and (ii) second, to the outstanding Principal Amount in the inverse order of maturity. 13

11. Involuntary Rate. Upon a default or after maturity or after judgment has been rendered on this Note, Maker's right to select pricing options shall cease. Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest and all other overdue amounts owing hereunder, whether at maturity, upon a Default, upon acceleration or otherwise, shall bear interest for each day that such amounts are overdue (whether or not any required notice of default shall have been given) at a rate per annum equal to four percent (4%) per annum in excess of the Prime Rate in effect from time to time; provided, however, that no overdue principal shall bear interest at a rate per annum less than four percent (4%) in excess of the rate of interest applicable thereto immediately prior to maturity (such rate, the "Involuntary Rate"). Interest shall continue to accrue at the Involuntary Rate upon a default or upon maturity of this Note, whether by expiration of its term, acceleration or otherwise, until this Note is paid in full, including the period following entry of any judgment on or relating to this Note or the Loan Documents. Interest on any such judgment shall accrue and be payable at the Involuntary Rate, and not at the statutory rate of interest, after judgment, any execution thereon, and until actual receipt by Payee of payment in full of this Note and said judgment. Interest at the Involuntary Rate shall be collectible as part of any judgment hereunder and shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. Payee's right to receive interest at the Involuntary Rate shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided herein or by law for the benefit of the holder hereof upon a default; and the acceptance of the same by the holder hereof shall not restrict such holder in any respect in the exercise of any other or further right or remedy, nor shall the same be deemed to be, as to the holder hereof, a waiver or release of Maker from any of its obligations herein contained or constitute an extension of the time for payments due hereunder. 12. Late Fee. If the entire amount of any required principal and/or interest under this Note is not paid in full within ten (10) days after the same is due, Maker shall pay to the Payee a late fee equal to five (5%) percent of the required payment, and such charge shall be deemed to be part of the indebtedness evidence herein. 13. Security. This Note is secured by the Mortgage and all of the Loan Documents (including any amendment, modification, extension or renewal thereof now or hereafter executed in connection therewith or herewith) "Document(s)". This Note is entitled to the benefits of the Loan Documents. 14. Acceleration. It is hereby expressly agreed that the entire unpaid balance of the Principal Amount shall, at the option of the holder hereof and upon such notice as may be required by this Note or by the Mortgage, become immediately due and payable without necessity for presentment and demand, notice of protest, demand and dishonor or nonpayment of this Note, all of which are hereby expressly waived, upon the happening of any Event of Default or any event by which, under the terms of the Loan Document(s), said unpaid balance may or shall become due and payable. Failure to exercise any such option at any time shall not constitute a waiver of the right of the holder hereof to exercise the same in the event of any subsequent default or acceleration event. 14

15. Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, any notice to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be either delivered or sent by first-class registered or certified mail, return receipt requested postage prepaid, addressed (a) if to Maker, to Maker's address set forth on the signature page or (b) if to Payee, at Payee's address set forth above, Attention: Denise M. Smyth, Vice President or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party by notice to the other party given in the manner set forth in this PARAGRAPH and each such notice shall be effective (i) if delivered by hand, at the time of delivery to the address specified in this PARAGRAPH, or (ii) if given by mail, on the fourth Business Day following the time of mailing in the manner aforesaid, or (iii) on the Business Day immediately following the delivery of such notice to an overnight delivery service. 16. Funding Sources. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to obligate Payee to fund advances hereunder in any particular place or manner; and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to constitute a representation by Payee that it has funded or will fund advances in any particular place or manner. 17. Taxes and Attorneys' Fees. Maker shall pay to Payee, immediately upon demand, any and all taxes assessed against Payee by reason of its holding of this Note and the receipt by it of interest payments hereunder (other than income, franchise and other similar taxes assessed by the United States Government, any state or any political subdivision of either thereof on such interest payments), and any and all other sums and charges that may at any time become due and payable under the Loan Document(s). Maker also promises to pay, on demand, all costs, title insurance premiums, mortgage recording taxes, disbursements and reasonable attorneys' fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel of Payee) and disbursements incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, and execution of this Note and/or the Loan Documents and any other documents and instruments prepared in connection herewith or therewith and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and the administration of this Loan and in the preservation of rights under, enforcement of, this Note and the Loan Document(s), any modification, amendment, or consent related thereto and in any suit, action or proceeding to protect or sustain the security interest of the holder of the Loan Document(s) and any refinancing or renegotiation of this Note and the Loan Document(s). 18. No Partnership or Joint Venture. Nothing contained in this Note or elsewhere shall be deemed or construed as creating a partnership or joint venture between Payee and Maker or between Payee and any other person, or cause the holder hereof to be responsible in any way for the debts or obligations of Maker or any other person. 19. Waiver. Maker hereby waives diligence, presentment, protest and demand, notice of protest, dishonor and nonpayment of this Note, and expressly agrees that, without in any way affecting the liability of Maker hereunder, Payee may extend the Maturity Date or the time for payment of any amount due hereunder, accept additional security, release any party liable hereunder and release any security now or hereafter securing this Note without in any other way affecting the liability and obligation of Maker or any other Person. Maker further waives, to the full extent permitted by law, the right to plead any and all statutes of limitations as a defense to any demand on this Note, under the Loan Document(s), or on any guaranty or other agreement now or hereafter securing this Note. 15

20. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the holder hereof shall never be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest on the obligation evidenced hereby any amount in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by applicable law; and in the event the holder hereof ever receives, collects or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the Principal Amount; and if the Principal Amount is paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Maker. In determining whether the interest paid or payable in any specific case exceeds the highest lawful rate, the holder hereof and Maker shall to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest; (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (iii) "spread" the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the obligation so that the interest rate is uniform throughout said entire term. 21. Severability. Every provision of this Note is intended to be severable. In the event any term or provision hereof is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or invalid for any reason whatsoever, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the balance of the terms and provision hereof, which terms and provisions shall remain binding and enforceable. 22. Number and Gender. In this Note the singular shall include the plural and the masculine shall include the feminine and neuter gender, and vice versa, if the context so requires. 23. Headings. Headings at the beginning of each numbered paragraph of this Note are intended solely for convenience of reference and are not to be deemed or construed to be a part of this Note. 24. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers, Etc.

(b) Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Note or any of the Loan Documents may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or, if the requisites of jurisdiction obtain, of the United States of America for the Southern or Eastern District of New York, and, by execution and delivery hereof, Maker hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Nothing herein, however, shall affect the right of Payee to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against Maker in any other jurisdiction. MAKER KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR PAYEE TO ACCEPT THIS NOTE AND MAKE THE LOAN. ACCEPTANCE OF THIS NOTE BY PAYEE BY THE PAYEE SHALL BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A WAIVER BY THE PAYEE OF THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF ANY LITIGATION IN RESPECT OF WHICH THE MAKER HAS WAIVED THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY HEREUNDER. 16

(c) No delay on the part of Payee in exercising any of its options, powers or rights, or partial or single exercise thereof, whether arising hereunder, under the Loan Documents or otherwise, shall constitute a waiver thereof or affect any right hereunder or thereunder. No waiver of any of such rights and no modification, amendment or discharge of this Note shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing, duly signed by Payee and Maker. Each such waiver (if any) shall apply only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of Payee or the obligations of Maker hereunder in any other respect at any other time. 25. Brokerage. Payee and Maker each hereby represents to the other that it did not deal with any broker or similar person in connection with this financing. 26. Set-off. Maker hereby grants to Payee, a lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for all liabilities and obligations to Payee, whether now existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Payee or any entity under the control of FleetBoston Financial Corporation, or in transit to any of them. At any time after an Event of Default, without demand or notice, Payee may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Maker regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Loan. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE PAYEE TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOAN, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHTS OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF MAKER ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED. 27. Miscellaneous. (a) This Note may not be changed orally but only by an agreement in writing signed by Maker and Payee. 17

(b) 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 others sums due and payable hereon, all costs of collecting or attempting to collect this Note, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses.

Sell a Loan to a Third Party Provider. Payee shall have the unrestricted right at any time or from time to time, and without Maker's or Guarantor's consent, to assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each, an "Assignee"), and a Maker (and each guarantor, as applicable) agrees that it shall execute, or cause to be executed, such documents, including, without limitation, amendments to this Agreement and to any other documents, instruments and agreements instituted in connection herewith as Payee shall deem necessary to effect the foregoing. In addition, at the request of Payee and any such Assignee, Maker shall issue one or more new promissory notes, as applicable, to any such Assignee and, if Payee has retained any of its rights and obligations hereunder following such assignment to Payee, which new promissory notes shall be issued in replacement of, but not in discharge of, the liability evidenced by the promissory note held by Payee prior to such assignment and shall reflect the amount of the respective commitments and loans held by such appropriate assignment documentation, amendments and any other documentation required by Payee in connection with such assignment, and the payment by Assignee of the purchase price agreed to by Payee and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a party to this Agreement and shall have all of the rights and obligations of Payee hereunder (and under any and all other guaranties, documents, instruments and agreements executed in connection herewith) to the extent that such rights and obligations have been assigned by Payee pursuant to the assignment documentation between Payee and such Assignee and Payee shall be released from its obligations hereunder and thereunder to a corresponding extent. 30. Sell a Loan to a Prospective Participant. Payee shall have the unrestricted right at any time and from time to time and without the consent of or notice to Maker (or any guarantor, if any) to grant to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each, a "Participant") participating interests in Payee's obligation to lend hereunder and/or any or all of the loans held by Payee hereunder.

Upon demand of the Mortgagee in the case of Impositions and, if an Event of Default shall exists, upon demand of the Mortgagee in the case of insurance premiums, the Mortgagor shall deposit with the Mortgagee a sum which bears the same relation to the annual insurance premiums for all insurance required by the terms hereof and real estate taxes and assessments assessed against the Mortgaged Premises for the insurance period or tax year then in effect, as the case may be, as the number of months elapsed as of the date of such demand since the last preceding installment of said premiums or taxes or assessments shall have become due and payable bears to twelve (12).

The Mortgagee shall, upon demand, furnish evidence to the Mortgagor of the making of each such payment.

If at any time when any installment of such premiums and such taxes and assessments becomes due and payable the Mortgagor shall not have deposited a sum sufficient to pay the same, the Mortgagor shall, within five (5) days after demand, deposit any deficiency with the Mortgagee. Upon payment in full of the Obligations, any remaining amount on deposit with the Mortgagee shall be repaid to the Mortgagor or Person lawfully entitled thereto. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Mortgagee may, at its option, apply all or any portion of the amounts then on deposit with the Mortgagee pursuant to this Section 2.4.2 to payment of the Obligations. The Mortgagor shall deliver to the Mortgagee all insurance and tax bills promptly following receipt during any period when such monthly deposits are to be made with the Mortgagee. 2.4.3. The Mortgagor will pay all taxes and other governmental charges (including, without limitation, stamp taxes), except income or franchise taxes or similar taxes based upon or measured by income, assessed by the United States government or any state or local governmental authority and imposed on the Mortgagee by reason of the ownership of this Mortgage or the Note, or the receipt of the interest or other sums payable thereunder or payable by the Mortgagor or the Mortgagee upon any increase in the Obligations secured hereby, or any modification, amendment, extension or consolidation of this Mortgage. Without limiting the foregoing and subject to the limitations set forth above, the Mortgagor will also pay the whole of any tax imposed, directly or indirectly, on this Mortgage or the Note or the receipt of any portion of the Obligations in lieu of a tax on the Mortgaged Premises or the Improvements and Building Service Equipment, whether by reason of (a) the passage after the date of this Mortgage of any law of the State deducting from the value of real property for the purposes of taxation any lien thereon; (b) any change in the laws for the taxation of mortgages or debts secured by mortgages for state or local purposes; (c) a change in the means of collection of any such tax or otherwise; or (d) any tax, whether or not now existing, assessed against, or withheld from, interest or other payments made by the Mortgagor or assessed against the Mortgagee and which are assessed or levied by the government of any foreign nation or political subdivision thereof, provided such tax liability shall not result from the ownership of this Mortgage by a Person not a citizen of, or an entity not formed under the laws of, the United States or any state. Within a reasonable time after payment of any such tax or governmental charge, the Mortgagor will deliver to the Mortgagee satisfactory proof of payment thereof, subject, however, to the right of the Mortgagor to contest Impositions as hereinafter set forth. If the Mortgagor shall fail to pay such tax or charge within fifteen (15) days after notice, or if under applicable law the Mortgagor's payment or agreement to pay the same shall be unenforceable, the Mortgagee shall have the right to declare all of the unpaid Obligations and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon due and payable on a date specified by the Mortgagee, but, in any event, not less than thirty (30) days after notice to the Mortgagor. 11

2.4.4. The Mortgagor shall have the right to contest the amount or validity, in whole or in part, of any Imposition, or to seek a reduction in the valuation of the Mortgaged Premises, or any part thereof, as assessed for real estate or personal property tax purposes by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted in good faith, but only after payment of such Imposition, unless such payment would operate as a bar to such contest or materially adversely interfere with the prosecution thereof, in which event the Mortgagor may postpone or defer payment of such Imposition (but not the payment of any monthly deposits pursuant to Section 2.4.2 hereof); and upon request by the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee shall postpone or defer payment of such Imposition; provided, however, that if at any time the Mortgaged Premises, the Building Service Equipment, the Furnishings, or any part thereof would, in the Mortgagee's reasonable judgment, by reason of such postponement or deferment be in imminent danger of being forfeited or lost, or if the Mortgagee might be subjected to any civil or criminal liability or other sanction, then the Mortgagor, on demand, shall immediately pay or cause to be paid the amount so contested and unpaid, together with all interest and penalties in connection therewith. 2.4.5. The certificate, advice or bill of the appropriate official designated by law to make or issue the same or to receive payment of any Imposition indicating the nonpayment of such Imposition shall be prima facie evidence that such Imposition is due and payable but unpaid at the time of the making or issuance thereof. 2.5. Insurance; Restoration Following Casualty. 2.5.1. Until the Obligations are paid in full, the Mortgagor shall at its own expense at all times maintain or cause to be maintained on all of the Mortgaged Premises (a) comprehensive general liability insurance, including umbrella liability insurance, covering all claims for bodily injury, including death, and property damage occurring on, in or about the Mortgaged Premises in an amount not less than $13,600,000 combined single limit per person and per occurrence for personal injury, bodily injury and property damage; the policy limits of such insurance, if requested by the Mortgagee, shall be increased from time to time to reflect what a reasonably prudent owner or lessee of buildings or improvements similar in type and locality to the Mortgaged Premises would carry; during any period of substantial alterations or improvements in, on or to the Mortgaged Premises, the Mortgagor will cause the comprehensive general liability insurance, including umbrella liability insurance, endorsed to provide owners' and contractors' protective liability coverage, including completed operations liability coverage; (b) physical damage insurance covering the Mortgaged Premises for loss or damages resulting from the perils of fire, lightning and such other risks and hazards as are provided under the current standard "Extended Coverage Endorsement" and vandalism and malicious mischief coverage, for the full replacement value of the Mortgaged Premises on a stipulated and agreed-amount basis; (c) if the Mortgaged Premises is in an area identified as a flood hazard area by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, flood insurance, to the extent obtainable, in an amount equal to the lesser of the full replacement value of the Mortgaged Premises or the maximum amount available under the Federal flood insurance program; (d) boiler and machinery insurance covering all boilers, machinery, air conditioning, pressure vessels, and similar type equipment commonly covered under a broad-form boiler and machinery policy, in an amount satisfactory to the Mortgagee; (e) insurance against such other risks of damage, hazards, casualties and contingencies in such amounts as the Mortgagee shall from time to time reasonably require, provided that insurance against such other risks, hazards, 12

casualties or contingencies shall then be commonly carried by prudent owners or lessees of building or improvements in the locality similar in character, construction, use and occupancy to the Improvements, Building Service Equipment and Furnishings on, or constituting a part of, the Mortgaged Premises; and (f) loss of rents/business interruption coverage in an amount sufficient to pay all Impositions, insurance premiums, interest and principal installments and all other amounts due under the Obligations and the normal operating expenses of the Mortgaged Premises, all for a period of one (1) year. Furthermore, the Mortgagee reserves the right to require additional insurance and/or higher policy limits than heretofore specified if such additional insurance and/or higher policy limits are commercially reasonable for similar properties, which right may be exercised by written notice to the Mortgagor, and, as soon thereafter as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days of the receipt thereof, the Mortgagor agrees to obtain insurance coverage complying with such notice. The proceeds of all such insurance (except the insurance specified in Section 2.5.1(a)) shall be paid solely to the Mortgagee and be held, applied or disbursed by the Mortgagee as provided in Sections 2.5.7 and 2.5.8. 2.5.2. All insurance required in Section 2.5.1 shall be evidenced by valid and enforceable policies, in form and substance, and issued by and distributed among insurers of recognized responsibility having a Best's rating of A or better and a financial size category of Class IX or above, as shall be required by the Mortgagee from time to time. Such insurers shall be authorized to do business in the State and in all other respects shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee. The originals of all such policies, or duplicate copies or certificates thereof, shall be delivered to the Mortgagee concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Mortgage. Thereafter, all renewal or replacement policies, or duplicate copies or certificates thereof, shall be delivered to the Mortgagee not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the policy or policies to be renewed or replaced, in each case accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee that all premiums currently payable with respect to such policies have been paid in full by or at the direction of the Mortgagor. 2.5.3. All such insurance policies shall (a) except for any liability policy required hereunder, contain a standard noncontributory form of mortgagee clause (in favor of and entitling the Mortgagee to collect any and all proceeds payable under such insurance), as well as a standard waiver of subrogation endorsement, all to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee; (b) provide that such policies may not be cancelled or amended without at least thirty (30) days', prior written notice to the Mortgagee; and (c) provide that no act, omission or negligence of the Mortgagor, or its agents, servants or employees, or of any Space Tenant under any Space Lease, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of such insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of such insurance insofar as the Mortgagee is concerned. The Mortgagor shall not carry separate insurance, concurrent in kind or form or contributing in the event of loss with any insurance required under this Section 2.5. All losses under such insurance policies shall be adjusted by the Mortgagor in the case of any single instance of such damage or destruction not exceeding $1,000,000, by Mortgagor and Mortgagee in the case of any such single instance of damage or destruction exceeding such amount, provided that in no event shall the Mortgagor approve or consent to any final adjustment in any amount exceeding the amount specified above in this sentence without obtaining the Mortgagee's prior approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the amount of such adjustment, and solely by the Mortgagee in the case when an Event of Default exists and is continuing. 13

2.5.4. Intentionally Deleted. 2.5.5. If the Mortgagee shall, by any means, acquire the title or estate of the Mortgagor in or to any portion of the Mortgaged Premises, it shall thereupon become the sole and absolute owner of all insurance policies to the extent affecting such portion of the Mortgaged Premises held by, or required hereunder to be delivered to, the Mortgagee, with the sole right to collect and retain all unearned premiums thereon; and the Mortgagor shall be entitled only to a credit in reduction of the then outstanding Obligations in the amount of the short rate cancellation refund, when and if received by Mortgagee. The Mortgagor agrees, immediately upon demand, to execute and deliver such assignments or other authorizations or instruments as may, in the opinion of the Mortgagee, be necessary or desirable to effectuate any of the provisions of this Section 2.5.5. 2.5.6. If any of the Improvements, Building Service Equipment or Furnishings shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty, the Mortgagor shall give prompt notice thereof to the Mortgagee, and, without regard to the availability or adequacy of insurance proceeds, shall promptly following receipt of any insurance proceeds or the date when any such proceeds are made available to the Mortgagor in accordance with the terms hereof, commence to restore, replace, rebuild or alter the same as nearly as possible to the condition, character and value thereof existing immediately prior to such damage or destruction. Any insurance proceeds in respect of such damage or destruction, or any Award (as defined in Section 3.2) for a partial taking which is not a substantial or total taking, as such terms are referred to in Article III hereof, at the option of the Mortgagee, may either (i) be applied as a prepayment of the Obligations, or (ii) be made available to pay or reimburse costs incurred for restoration, replacement or rebuilding necessitated as a result of such damage or destruction, or as a result of such taking, as the case may be, or (iii) be used for any other purpose or object deemed appropriate by the Mortgagee in connection with the Mortgaged Premises, provided, however, that the Mortgagee shall not elect either option (i) or (iii) above if, and for so long as, (a) no Default and/or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a result of such casualty or taking; (b) the balance of the insurance proceeds or such Award either initially paid to the Mortgagee or deposited with the Depository (as hereinafter defined) or remaining from time to time, shall be sufficient, in the Mortgagee's reasonable judgment, to complete the restoration, replacement or rebuilding, or the Mortgagor shall have deposited such sufficient funds with the Mortgagee or the Depository; (c) the cost of such restoration, replacement or rebuilding is equal to or less than 25% of the then aggregate outstanding principal balance remaining under the Note; and (d) in the Mortgagee's reasonable judgment, six months after completion of the restoration, there will be no Default. 2.5.7. Any such insurance proceeds (other than the proceeds of the rent insurance policy, which shall be paid as provided in Section 2.5.8 below) or Award which are to be applied to restoration, replacement or rebuilding of the Mortgaged Premises shall, after payment or reimbursement to the Mortgagee of all reasonable costs and expenses of the Mortgagee in collecting such proceeds or Award, be applied upon satisfaction of the following provisions and conditions: 14

(a) If the damage be of such nature as to require the Mortgagor to construct a replacement for, or to alter in any material or substantial way, the damaged or destroyed items, the Mortgagor shall, before commencing any such work, submit copies of the plans and specifications therefor to the Mortgagee for the Mortgagee's approval, such approval to not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. (b) If after payment or reimbursement to the Mortgagee of all costs and expenses of the Mortgagee in collecting such insurance proceeds or Award, the aggregate insurance proceeds or Award received by reason of any single instance of such damage or destruction or condemnation, as the case may be, shall be $1,000,000 or less such insurance proceeds or Award shall be paid to the Mortgagor, which shall hold all amounts so received in trust for application first to pay the entire cost of restoring, repairing, rebuilding or replacing the damaged or destroyed items, before any portion of such proceeds may be used or applied for any other purpose. If the aggregate net insurance proceeds or Award by reason of any single instance of such damage or destruction or condemnation, as the case may be, shall be more than $1,000,000 such sums shall be held and disbursed by Fleet National Bank or, if this Mortgage is held by a financial institution, by such financial institution or, if this Mortgage is not held by a financial institution, by a financial institution selected by the then Mortgagee (the holder of such monies, the "Depository") in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 2.5.7. (c) The Mortgagee shall have received as to each such disbursement a certificate of the Mortgagor (i) requesting the payment of a specified amount of such insurance or condemnation proceeds; (ii) describing in reasonable detail the work and materials applied to the restoration, replacement or rebuilding of the damaged, destroyed or taken Improvement, or Building Service Equipment and/or Furnishings located therein, since the date of the last such certificate; (iii) stating that the requested amount does not exceed the cost of such work and materials; and (iv) stating that a request for payment for such work and materials has not previously been made; accompanied by (d) a certificate of an independent engineer or architect designated by the Mortgagor, who shall have been approved in writing by the Mortgagee, stating (i) that the work and materials described in the accompanying certificate of the Mortgagor were satisfactorily performed and furnished and were necessary, appropriate or desirable to the restoration, replacement or rebuilding of the damaged, destroyed or taken Improvement, or Building Service Equipment and/or Furnishings; (ii) that the amount specified in such certificate of the Mortgagor does not exceed the reasonable cost of such work and materials; and (iii) the additional amount, if any, required to complete the restoration, replacement or rebuilding of the damaged, destroyed or taken Improvement, Building Service Equipment and/or Furnishings; accompanied by (e) evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee (i) that there exists no filed or recorded lien, or lien notice, or encumbrance or charge in respect of all or any part of the Mortgaged Premises that is prior to or on a parity with the lien of this Mortgage, except as may be permitted in the Permitted Encumbrances; (ii) that neither the Mortgaged Premises nor any part thereof is subject to any recorded or filed mechanic's, laborer's, 15

materialman's or any similar lien, encumbrance or charge; and (iii) that none of the Building Service Equipment and Furnishings provided in connection with such restoration, replacement or rebuilding is subject to any security interest other than in favor of the Mortgagee; then, the Mortgagee shall pay to the Mortgagor the amount of such insurance or condemnation proceeds requested in such certificate of the Mortgagor or consent to the Depository's payment thereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that in no event shall the balance of insurance or condemnation proceeds held by the Mortgagee and the Depository be reduced below the amount specified in such certificate of the independent engineer or architect as the amount required to complete the restoration, replacement or rebuilding of the damaged, destroyed or taken Improvement, Building Service Equipment and/or Furnishings. Each such payment, whether made by the Mortgagee or the Depository, shall be held by the Mortgagor in trust and shall be used solely for the payment of the cost of the work and materials described in the certificate of the Mortgagor, or if such cost or any part thereof has theretofore been paid by the Mortgagor out of its own funds, then for the reimbursement to the Mortgagor of any such cost or part thereof paid by it. Any balance of insurance or condemnation proceeds held by the Mortgagee after the completion of the restoration, replacement or rebuilding and payment of all costs incurred in connection therewith, to be evidenced by a certificate to such effect of such independent engineer or architect delivered to the Mortgagee, shall, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, be released to the Mortgagor or any other party entitled thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Mortgagor needs to make deposits with or payments to contractors prior to the work being performed, if the Mortgagee is otherwise obligated to allow funds to be used to rebuild or restore, the Mortgagee agrees that it will not unreasonably withhold or delay the Mortgagor's request that such deposits or advances payments be allowed. 2.5.8. All proceeds of rent insurance payable as a result of the occurrence of any fire or other casualty which affects the Mortgaged Premises, or any part thereof, shall be paid to the Mortgagee or, if the Mortgagee is not a financial institution, the Depository. The Mortgagee or the Depository, as the case may be, if it shall receive such proceeds, shall hold such proceeds in trust if permitted under law, and in an account bearing interest (payable to or for account of the Mortgagor), and shall apply or cause such proceeds (including any net interest thereon) to be applied to the payment of those items referred to in Section 2.5.1(f) which become, and as they become, due and payable from and after the date of the occurrence of such damage or loss, until the completion of the necessary restoration or replacement by the Mortgagor or until the exhaustion of such proceeds (including any interest thereon), whichever first occurs. Upon completion of such restoration or replacement, any balance of such rent insurance proceeds, together with the interest thereon, if any, not theretofore applied as provided herein, in the hands of the Mortgagee or the Depository, as the case may be, shall, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, be paid to the Mortgagor or any other party entitled thereto. 2.5.9. Nothing in this Section 2.5 contained shall (i) relieve the Mortgagor of its duty to repair, restore, rebuild or replace the Improvements, Building Service Equipment and/or Furnishings following damage or destruction by fire or other casualty or taking in the event that no Award or an inadequate Award or that no or inadequate proceeds of insurance are available to defray the cost of such repairing, restoring, rebuilding or replacement, or (ii) relieve 16

the Mortgagor of its obligation to pay principal and interest and to make all other required payments in respect of the Obligations and this Mortgage subsequent to the occurrence of any fire or other casualty, or taking, except if, and to the extent that, any proceeds of rent insurance are applied by the Mortgagee in accordance with Section 2.5.8 to such required payments. 2.5.10. If, while any insurance proceeds or Award is being held by the Mortgagee or the Depository, an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Mortgagee shall be entitled to receive and apply all such insurance proceeds or Award in reduction of the Obligations, in such order and respective amounts, as the Mortgagee in its sole discretion shall determine. 2.6. To Comply with Laws. 2.6.1. The Mortgagor, at its own expense, will promptly cure all violations of law affecting the Mortgaged Premises, or any part thereof, and/or the use and operation thereof and will promptly comply, or cause to be complied with, all present and future Legal Requirements. However, the Mortgagor shall have the right, after prior notice to the Mortgagee, to contest by appropriate legal proceedings, diligently conducted in good faith, the validity or application of any Legal Requirement if and so long as the Mortgagor shall promptly furnish to the Mortgagee a certificate to such effect showing the steps taken to comply with such provisions, provided that: (a) if by the terms of any such Legal Requirement, compliance therewith pending the prosecution of any such proceeding may be delayed legally without incurring any lien, charge or liability of any kind against the Mortgaged Premises, or any part thereof, and without subjecting the Mortgagor or the Mortgagee to any liability, civil or criminal, for failure so to comply therewith, the Mortgagor may delay compliance therewith until the final determination of any such proceeding; and (b) if any lien, charge or civil liability would be incurred by reason of any such delay, the Mortgagor nevertheless, on the prior written consent of the Mortgagee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, may contest and delay compliance with the Legal Requirement, provided that such delay would not subject the Mortgagee to criminal liability and the Mortgagor (i) furnishes to the Mortgagee security reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee against loss or injury by reason of such contest or delay and (ii) prosecutes the contest with due diligence. 2.6.2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.6.1, if any delay in compliance with any Legal Requirement shall, in the reasonable judgment of the Mortgagee, place all or any part of the Mortgaged Premises in imminent danger of being forfeited or lost, the Mortgagor shall, upon notice from the Mortgagee, immediately comply with such Legal Requirement. 2.6.3. The Mortgagor will use and permit the use of the Mortgaged Premises only in accordance with the material requirements of any applicable licenses and permits issued by Governmental Authorities. 17

2.6.4. The Mortgagor will procure, pay for and maintain (or cause to be procured, paid and maintained) all permits, licenses and other authorizations required to be procured and maintained by the owners and operators of the Mortgaged Premises for any then use of all or any part of the Mortgaged Premises then being made and for the lawful and proper operation and maintenance thereof. 2.6.5. If the Mortgagor receives notice from any Governmental Authority that it is not in compliance with any Legal Requirement, the Mortgagor will provide the Mortgagee with a copy of such notice promptly. 2.6.6. Without limiting the provisions of this Article II, Mortgagor agrees to the indemnification and guaranty provisions set forth in the ADA Guaranty, the provisions of which are incorporated herein by this reference. The indemnification and guaranty provisions set forth in the ADA Guaranty shall be a debt secured by the lien of this Mortgage. 2.6.7. Without limiting the provisions of this Article II, Mortgagor agrees to the indemnification and guaranty provisions set forth in the Hazardous Material Guaranty, the provisions of which are incorporated herein by this reference. The indemnification and guaranty provisions set forth in the Hazardous Material Guaranty shall be an obligation secured by the lien of this Mortgage. 2.7. Limitation on Alterations and Demolition. 2.7.1. The Mortgagor shall not voluntarily demolish, replace or alter the Mortgaged Premises, or any part thereof, or voluntarily make any addition thereto, or voluntarily construct any additional improvements thereon, or suffer any of the same to occur, whether structural or otherwise (collectively, "change"), without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee; provided, however, that if no Event of Default is continuing and such change involves an estimated cost of less than $1,000,000 and is non-structural or if no Event of Default is continuing and such change is non-structural and is being made to prepare space for a Space Tenant pursuant to a Space Lease entered into in accordance with the Note, then, in either of such events, the Mortgagee's consent shall not be required; provided, further, however, that if any such change is required by law, the Mortgagor may make such change with the prior written consent of the Mortgagee, which consent the Mortgagee will not unreasonably withhold or delay. As a condition to any consent under this Section 2.7.1, the Mortgagee may require (a) that plans and specifications for the proposed work, prepared by a reputable architect reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee, be submitted to the Mortgagee for approval, (b) that the Mortgagor obtain a payment and performance bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee from the contractor or subcontractor performing the work unless such work amounts to less than $1,000,000 in aggregate total cost and (c) that the contractor(s) deliver and file, prior to commencing any work, a waiver of mechanics lien. All work performed by or on behalf of the Mortgagor shall be completed with all reasonable diligence and continuity, in a good and workmanlike manner, and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements. Unless, and to the extent that, the provisions of Section 2.7.2 be applicable, no Building Service Equipment or Furnishings shall be removed from the Mortgaged Premises during the course of any such work without prior notification to the Mortgagee and unless provision is made for return or replacement on or prior to 18

the completion of the work. The provisions of this Section 2.7.1. shall apply to any change made or required to be made by the Mortgagor in the course of complying with any other of the provisions of this Mortgage. A duplicate set of all plans and specifications required to be filed with any Governmental Authority prior to, or at any time in connection with, any such alteration, demolition or new construction shall be furnished to the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor will pay on demand the reasonable expenses incurred by the Mortgagee in the review of plans and specifications provided for in this Mortgage. 2.7.2. The Mortgagor shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to remove and dispose of any item of Building Service Equipment or Furnishings which may have become obsolete or unfit for use or which is no longer useful in the operation of the Improvements, provided that the Mortgagor promptly replaces such item with other Building Service Equipment or Furnishings, free of superior title, liens or claims (other than in favor of the Mortgagee) unless consent of the Mortgagee is first obtained, not necessarily of the same character but of at least equal quality, value and usefulness in connection with the operation and maintenance of the Mortgaged Premises, provided, further, however, no removal of any item of Building Service Equipment or Furnishings then having a fair market value of $50,000 or more shall be made without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. However, if by reason of technological or other developments in the operation and maintenance of buildings and other improvements of the general character of the Improvements or a change in the use of the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof, no replacement of the Building Service Equipment or Furnishings so removed would be necessary or desirable for the proper operation or maintenance of the Improvements, the Mortgagor shall not be required to replace the item so removed. 2.8. Limitation on Disposition of the Mortgaged Premises. 2.8.1. Any sale, assignment, mortgage, pledge or other transfer or encumbrance of the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof or any interest therein or in any of the rents, profits or income generated thereby (in any case, either beneficially or of record) is herein a "Transfer"; any lease entered into by the Mortgagor in compliance with PARAGRAPH 11 of the Note is not a Transfer. Any Transfer is an Event of Default. 2.8.2. If there shall be a violation of the terms and provisions of Section 2.8.1, whether by the Mortgagor or any other Person, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Mortgagee under this Mortgage, the Mortgagee shall have the option, by the giving of notice to the Mortgagor, of declaring the entire unpaid principal balance of the Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and all other sums and charges evidenced thereby, immediately due and payable. 2.9. Maintenance of Mortgaged Premises; Covenant Against Waste; Inspection by the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor will not commit or permit waste on the Mortgaged Premises and, at its expense, will keep and maintain the Improvements, the Building Service Equipment and Furnishings in its (or their) present state of repair and condition and, if improved, in such improved state of repair and condition; provided, that this shall not limit the Mortgagor's other obligations hereunder, such as compliance with laws. The Mortgagor shall do or cause to be done all maintenance and make or cause to be made all repairs 19

as may be required by the landlord under any Space Lease. The Mortgagor will neither do nor permit to be done anything to the Mortgaged Premises that may materially impair the value thereof or which may violate any covenant, condition or restriction affecting the Mortgaged Premises, or any part thereof, or which would effect any material change therein or in the condition thereof that would increase the danger of fire or other hazard arising out of the operation of the Mortgaged Premises. Subject to the rights of Space Tenants, the Mortgagee, and its representatives and agents, may enter and inspect the Mortgaged Premises at any time after reasonable notice (which may be oral) during usual business hours, and the Mortgagor shall, within thirty (30) days after demand by the Mortgagee (or immediately upon demand in case of emergency), make such repairs, replacements, renewals or additions, or perform such items of maintenance, to the Mortgaged Premises as the Mortgagee may reasonably require in order to cause the Mortgaged Premises to comply with the standards established in this Section 2.9. 2.10. To Furnish Certificates; Other Reporting Requirements. 2.10.1. The Mortgagor will, at its own expense, deliver to the Mortgagee, within fifteen (15) days after request, a written statement executed by the Mortgagor, in recordable form, setting forth the amount then unpaid upon the Obligations and secured by this Mortgage and stating whether any offsets or defenses exist against the Obligations; and, if any such offsets or defenses are alleged to exist, then the factual basis and amount of such claimed offsets or defenses. 2.10.2. The Mortgagor will, if requested by the Mortgagee, deliver to the Mortgagee a certificate of an officer of the member of the Mortgagor or of such member's general partner, to the effect that he is familiar with this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, has reviewed the affairs of the Mortgagor, and to the best of his knowledge and belief there exists no Event of Default and no act or event has occurred or exists which with notice or lapse of time or both could become such an Event of Default, or if any such incipient default or Event of Default exists, specifying it and what action the Mortgagor is taking to cause it to be remedied. 2.10.3. The Mortgagor further covenants and agrees that it will, at its own expense, deliver to the Mortgagee as soon as available, and in any event within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Mortgagor, an annual balance sheet, a statement of profit and loss, one-year projections, and a cash-flow statement, prepared in accordance with Accounting Principles acceptable to the Mortgagee, consistently applied, together with a schedule of Space Leases. Such statements shall show the income and expenses of the Mortgagor for such fiscal year, all in reasonable detail, shall be prepared in accordance with such accounting principles, consistently applied, and shall state in comparative form the figures at the end of such fiscal year and for the preceding fiscal year. Such statements shall be certified to be true and correct by the chief financial officer of the Mortgagor. 2.10.4. The Mortgagor further covenants and agrees that it will, at its own expense, deliver to the Mortgagee semi-annually, as soon as available, and in any event within ninety (90) days after the end of each second quarter end of the Mortgagor, copies of Mortgagor's financial statements (inclusive of a detailed balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement) prepared internally, in accordance with Accounting Principles, in its reasonable discretion, and certified to be true and correct by the chief financial officer of the Mortgagor. 20

2.10.5. In addition, the Mortgagor shall furnish to the Mortgagee: (a) within ninety (90) days after the end of the Mortgagor's fiscal year, and within forty-five (45) days after the end of each six-month period, commencing with the period ended June 30, 2000, a statement of income and expenses with respect to the Mortgaged Premises, in such form as may be required by the Mortgagee; (b) within ninety (90) days after the end of the Mortgagor's fiscal year, statements of financial condition of the Mortgagor in such form as may be required by the Mortgagee; (c) within one hundred and fifty (150) days after the end of the Mortgagor's fiscal year, the Mortgagor's federal and state tax filings; and (d) such interim unaudited financial statements and other information as the Mortgagee may reasonably require. 2.10.6. The Mortgagor shall furnish to the Mortgagee, within ten (10) days after the same are filed, copies of each Form 10-K of Acadia and Form 10-Q of Acadia filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; 2.10.7. The Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee, upon request by Mortgagee, but in any event not more frequently than quarterly, a complete rent roll listing tenants, unit numbers, square feet occupied and leased, rents, delinquencies, vacancies, other income received and expenses. 2.10.8. The Mortgagor further covenants and agrees that it will, at its own expense, promptly upon receipt by Mortgagor, deliver to Mortgagee copies of all reports of the Key Tenants' gross revenue from sales merchandise during the preceding fiscal-year which are delivered by the applicable Key Tenant in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Key Tenant's lease. "Key Tenants" shall mean all tenants whose leases cover 10,000 square feet or more of the Improvements; with "Key Tenant" meaning each, every and any one of the Key Tenants. 2.11. After-Acquired Property. All right, title and interest of the Mortgagor in and to all improvements, betterments, renewals, substitutes and replacements of, and all additions and appurtenances to, the Mortgaged Premises hereafter acquired, constructed, assembled or placed by the Mortgagor on the Mortgaged Premises, immediately upon such acquisition, construction, assembly or placement, as the case may be, and in each such case without any further mortgage, conveyance or assignment or other act of the Mortgagor, shall become subject to the lien of this Mortgage as fully and completely, and with the same effect, as though now owned by the Mortgagor and specifically described in the granting clauses of this Mortgage; and at any time and from time to time the Mortgagor, on demand, will execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Mortgagee any and all such further assurances, mortgages, conveyances or assignments as the Mortgagee may reasonably require to further evidence, confirm and perfect the provisions of this Section 2.11. 2.12. Further Assurances. The Mortgagor shall, at its sole cost and without expense to the Mortgagee, on demand, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, assignments, notices of assignment, transfers and assurances as the Mortgagee shall from time to time reasonably require for better assuring, conveying, 21

assigning, transferring and confirming unto the Mortgagee the property and rights hereby mortgaged or assigned or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which the Mortgagor may be or may hereafter become bound to convey, mortgage or assign to the Mortgagee, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Mortgage, or for filing, registering or recording this Mortgage. 2.13. Recorded Instruments. The Mortgagor will promptly perform and observe, or cause to be performed and observed, all of the terms, covenants and conditions of all instruments of record affecting the Mortgaged Premises (other than non-consensual encumbrances hereafter affecting the Mortgaged Premises, the validity or enforceability of which the Mortgagor is contesting in accordance with this Mortgage) where non-compliance therewith affects the security of this Mortgage or imposes any duty or obligation upon the Mortgagor or any Space Tenant. The Mortgagor shall do or cause to be done all things reasonably required to preserve intact and unimpaired and to renew any and all rights-of-way, easements, grants, appurtenances, privileges, licenses, franchises and other interests and rights in favor of or constituting any portion of the Mortgaged Premises. The Mortgagor will not, without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee, initiate, join in or consent to any private restrictive covenant or other public or private restriction as to the use of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Premises. The Mortgagor will, however, comply with all lawful restrictive covenants and zoning ordinances and other public or private restrictions affecting all or any portion of the Mortgaged Premises. 2.14. Leasing Standards. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the other Loan Documents, the Mortgagor covenants and agrees that no Space Lease will be consummated without the prior written approval thereof by the Mortgagee unless such Space Lease (i) is prepared and executed on Mortgagor's standard lease form submitted to and approved, in writing, by the Mortgagee, with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and the Mortgagee's approval of immaterial changes to the form approved by the Mortgagee shall not be required; and (ii) (x) provides for terms and conditions, including as to rentals and other economic terms and the creditworthiness of the tenant, which are approved by Mortgagee, with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or (y) is of less than 10,000 leasable square feet and is on commercially reasonable terms and conditions, including as to rentals and other economic terms and creditworthiness of the tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Default and/or Event of Default shall be continuing, the Mortgagor will not enter into Space Leases without the Mortgagee's prior written approval thereof, which approval the Mortgagee may withhold in its sole discretion. 2.15. Intentionally Deleted Prior to Execution. 2.16. Late Charges. If the entire amount of any required principal and/or interest under the Note is not paid in full within ten (10) days after the same is due, Mortgagor shall pay to the Mortgagee a late fee equal to five (5%) percent of the required payment, and such charge shall be deemed to be part of the Indebtedness and therefore secured by the lien of this Mortgage. 2.17. Trust Funds. The Mortgagor, in compliance with Section 13 of the Lien Law, will receive the advances secured by this Mortgage and will hold the right to receive such advances as a trust fund to be applied first for the 22

purpose of paying the cost of improvement and will apply the same first to the payment of the cost of improvement before using any part of the total of the same for any other purposes. The Mortgagor agrees that it shall indemnify and hold the Mortgagee harmless against any loss or liability, cost or expense, including, without limitation, any judgments, attorneys' fees, costs of appeal bonds and printing costs arising out of or relating to any proceeding instituted by any claimant alleging priority over the lien of this Mortgage, and/or by any claimant alleging a violation by the Mortgagor or the Mortgagee of any section of Article 3-A of the Lien Law of the State of New York. 2.18. The Ground Lease. 2.18.1. The Mortgagor shall: (i) pay all rents, additional rents and other sums required to be paid by the Mortgagor as lessee under and pursuant to the provisions of the Ground Lease, (ii) diligently perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Ground Lease on the part of the Mortgagor, as lessee thereunder, to be performed and observed, unless such performance or observance shall be waived or not required in writing by the lessor under the Ground Lease, to the end that all things shall be done which are necessary to keep unimpaired the rights of the Mortgagor, as lessee, under the Ground Lease, (iii) promptly notify the Mortgagee in writing of any default by the Mortgagor under the Ground Lease in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions on the part of, respectively, the Mortgagor to be performed or observed under the Ground Lease, (iv) promptly notify the Mortgagee of the giving of any notice by the lessor under the Ground Lease to the Mortgagor (other than notices customarily sent on a regular basis) and of any notice noting or claiming any default by the Mortgagor in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Ground Lease on the part of the Mortgagor, as lessee thereunder, to be performed or observed and deliver to the Mortgagee a true copy of each such notice (v) promptly notify the Mortgagee in writing of any request made by either party to the Ground Lease, as the case may be, for arbitration proceedings pursuant to the Ground Lease and of the institution of any arbitration proceedings, as well as of all proceedings thereunder, and promptly deliver to the Mortgagee a copy of the determination of the arbitrators in each such arbitration proceeding, it being acknowledged and agreed that the Mortgagee shall have the right to participate in such arbitration proceedings in association with the Mortgagor or on its own behalf as an interested party, and (vi) furnish to the Mortgagee, within ten (10) days after demand, proof of payment of all items which are required to be paid by the Mortgagor pursuant to the Ground Lease. 2.18.2. The Mortgagor, shall not without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee, surrender the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or terminate or cancel the Ground Lease or modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Ground Lease, or consent to a modification change, supplement alteration or amendment to the Ground Lease, in any material respect, either orally or in writing, and the Mortgagor hereby assigns to the Mortgagee, as further security for the payment of the Indebtedness and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Mortgage, all of the rights, privileges and prerogatives of the Mortgagor, as lessee under the Ground Lease, to surrender the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Ground Lease, and any such surrender of the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or 23

amendment of the Ground Lease without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee shall be void and of no force and effect. The Mortgagee will not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to a modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment to the same. 2.18.3. Supplementing the provisions of subparagraph (b) above, it is understood and agreed that the Mortgagor shall not, without the Mortgagee's prior written consent, elect to treat the Ground Lease as terminated under Section 365(h)(1)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code. Any such election made without the Mortgagee's prior written consent shall be void. The Mortgagor hereby unconditionally assigns, transfers and set over to the Mortgagee all of the Mortgagor's claims and rights to the payment of damages arising under the Bankruptcy Code from any rejection by the lessor under the Ground Lease. The Mortgagee shall have the right to proceed in its own name on behalf of the Mortgagor in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of the Ground Lease, including, without limitation, the right to file and prosecute, to the exclusion of the Mortgagor, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case in respect of such lessor under the Bankruptcy Code. This assignment constitutes a present, irrevocable and unconditional assignment of the foregoing claims, rights and remedies, and shall continue in effect until all of the Indebtedness secured by the Mortgage shall have been satisfied and discharged in full. Any amounts received by the Mortgagee as damages arising out of the rejection of the Ground Lease as aforesaid shall be applied first to all costs and expenses of the Mortgagee (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the exercise of any of its rights or remedies under this Paragraph and then shall be applied against the Indebtedness in such order, priority and proportion as the Mortgagee shall determine. If any action, motion or notice shall be commenced or filed in respect of the Mortgagor, as lessee under the Ground Lease, or all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property in connection with any case under the Bankruptcy Code, the Mortgagor shall give the Mortgagee prompt written notice thereof. Other than during the existence of an Event of Default, the Mortgagor may commence any action, suit, proceeding or case, or file any application or make any motion, in respect of the Ground Lease in any such case under the Bankruptcy Code without the prior written consent of the Mortgagor but will not settle or compromise any of the foregoing without the consent of the Mortgagee, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by Mortgagee. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Mortgagor shall not commence any action, suit, proceeding or case, or file any application or make any motion, in respect of the Ground Lease in any such case under the Bankruptcy Code without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee, and the Mortgagee, during the existence of an Event of Default, may proceed in its own name, in connection with any such litigation. The Mortgagor shall, immediately after obtaining knowledge thereof, notify the Mortgagee and its counsel, by telecopy or by hand of any filing by or against the lessor under the Ground Lease of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code. The Mortgagor shall thereafter forthwith give written notice of such filing to the Mortgagee, setting forth the date of such filing, the court in which the petition was filed and the relief sought therein. The Mortgagor shall promptly deliver to the Mortgagee, following receipt, any and all notices, summonses, pleadings, applications and other written documents received by the Mortgagor in connection with any such petition and any proceedings relating thereto. 2.18.4. If the Mortgagor shall default in the performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition of the Ground Lease on the part of the Mortgagor, as lessee thereunder, to be performed or observed, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Mortgage, and without 24

waiving or releasing the Mortgagor from any of its obligations hereunder, the Mortgagee shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Ground Lease on the part of the Mortgagor, as lessee thereunder, to be performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of the Mortgagor, to the end that the rights of the Mortgagor in, to and under the Ground Lease shall be kept unimpaired and free from default. If the Mortgagee shall make any payment or perform any act or take action in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Mortgagee will notify the Mortgagor of the making of any such payment, the performance of any such act, or the taking of any such action. All sums so paid by the Mortgagee and all costs and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee in connection with the performance of any such act shall be paid by the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee upon demand with interest, from the date so advanced by Mortgagee until thirty (30) days after demand by the Mortgagee to the Mortgagor, at the Interest Rate set forth in the Note and thereafter at the Involuntary Rate, and the same shall be deemed to be secured by this Mortgage and shall be a lien on the Mortgaged Property prior to any right, title to, interest in or claim upon the Mortgaged Property attaching subsequent to the lien of this Mortgage. In any such event, subject to the rights, if any, of lessees and other occupants under the Ground Lease, the Mortgagee and any person designated by the Mortgagee shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the Mortgaged Property at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action. If the lessor under the Ground Lease shall deliver to the Mortgagee a copy of any notice of default sent by said lessor to the Mortgagor, as lessee under the Ground Lease, such notice shall constitute full protection to the Mortgagee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Mortgagee, in good faith, in reliance thereon. 2.18.5. Mortgagor hereby delegates irrevocably, coupled with an interest, to Mortgagee the authority to exercise any and all of Mortgagor's rights under the Ground Lease, including, but not limited to, the right of the Mortgagee to participate (to the exclusion of Mortgagor) in any proceeding, arbitration or settlement involving condemnation or eminent domain affecting Mortgagor's leasehold interest in the Mortgaged Property. However, Mortgagee agrees not to exercise such power, except during the existence of an Event of Default and/or upon acceleration of the Indebtedness pursuant to the terms of this Mortgage. 2.18.6. The generality of the provisions of this Paragraph relating to the Ground Lease shall not be limited by other provisions of this Mortgage or any other agreement between the Mortgagee and the Mortgagor, setting forth particular obligations of the Mortgagor which are also required of the Mortgagor as tenant under the Ground Lease. 2.18.7. Should there be a conflict between the terms of the Mortgage or any other Loan Document on the one hand, and the terms of the Ground Lease, on the other, the terms of the Mortgage shall prevail and control. 2.18.8. In accordance with the provisions of Section 10.02 of the Ground Lease, the Mortgagee and Mortgagor agree to be bound by the following provisions: (a) This Mortgage is executed upon the condition that no purchaser at any foreclosure sale shall acquire any right, title or interest in or to the Lease hereby mortgaged, unless the said purchaser, or the person, firm or corporation to whom or to which such purchaser's right has been 25

assigned, shall, in the instrument transferring to such purchaser or assignee the Tenant's interest under the said Lease, assume and agree to perform all of the terms, covenants and conditions of said Lease to be observed or performed on the part of the Tenant subsequent to the date of the assumption agreement, and moreover, that no further or additional mortgage or assignment or said Lease shall be made, except subject to the provisions contained in Articles 9 and 10 of said Lease, and that a duplicate original of said assumption agreement, in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord's counsel and duly executed and acknowledged by such purchaser or such assignee, is delivered to Landlord immediately after the consummation of such sale, or, in any event, prior to taking possession of the premises. (b) This Mortgage and all rights of the Mortgagee hereunder are, without the necessity for the execution of any further documents, subject and subordinate to any Fee Mortgages now or hereafter made, as said terms are defined in the Lease hereby mortgaged, provided that Tenant and leasehold Mortgagee shall receive a non-disturbance agreement from the Fee Mortgagee in recordable form and reasonably satisfactory to the Leasehold Mortgagee. Subject to the receipt of such a non-disturbance agreement, the holder of this mortgage agrees from time to time upon request and without charge, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments requested by the Landlord under the Lease hereby mortgaged to evidence the foregoing subordination. 2.19. Intentionally Deleted Prior to Execution. 2.20. Earn-Out Provision. Upon compliance by Mortgagor of the conditions precedent set forth in PARAGRAPH 5 of the Note, the Mortgagor shall advance the aggregate principal sum of up to $3,990,135.17 in one or more advances (herein called the "Earn-Out"), payable in accordance with the terms of the Note. ARTICLE III Condemnation 3.1. Notice of Taking. The Mortgagor shall promptly notify the Mortgagee if the Mortgagor receives notice of the institution of any proceeding or negotiations for the taking of the Mortgaged Premises, or any part thereof, whether for permanent or temporary use and occupancy in condemnation or by the exercise of the power of eminent domain or by agreement of interested parties in lieu of such condemnation (all the foregoing called a "taking"); shall keep the Mortgagee currently advised, in detail, as to the status of such proceedings or negotiations and will promptly give to the Mortgagee copies of all notices, pleadings, judgments, determinations and other papers received or delivered by the Mortgagor in connection with any such proceedings. The Mortgagee shall have the right to appear and participate in such proceedings and may be represented by counsel. The Mortgagor will not, without the Mortgagee's consent, enter into any agreement for the taking of the Mortgaged Premises, or any part thereof, with anyone authorized to acquire the Mortgaged Premises by eminent domain or in condemnation. 26

3.2. Condemnation Award. If the Mortgaged Premises shall be the subject of a taking the Mortgagee shall be entitled to and shall receive the total of such portion of all awards made that shall be allowed to the Mortgagor with respect to all the right, title and interest of the Mortgagor in and to the Mortgaged Premises (the award made in any total, partial or temporary taking is herein called the "Award"), provided that the obligations of the Mortgagor to perform the terms, covenants and conditions of this Mortgage, if any, affected by such taking shall continue unimpaired until the actual vesting of title in such proceeding and the actual receipt by the Mortgagee of Mortgagor's share of the entire Award resulting from such taking. 3.3. Application of Award. The Mortgagee shall have the option of treating a total taking or a substantial taking (as hereinafter defined) as an Event of Default and of accelerating the entire Obligations, in which event it shall apply the Mortgagor's entire Award in reduction of such Obligations (including principal, interest and other sums secured hereby, in such order as the Mortgagee may determine) and shall turn over any balance remaining, if any, to the Mortgagor; or if the Mortgagee shall not so elect to accelerate the Obligations and apply the Award thereto, then the total Award shall, regardless of amount, be deposited with the Mortgagee or with the Depository, the Mortgagor hereby agreeing to elect that such proceeds be held and disbursed by the Depository in accordance with Sections 2.5.6, 2.5.7, 2.5.8, 2.5.9 and 2.5.10 hereof for restoration required to be made by the Mortgagor. If there be a partial taking, the net proceeds of the Award shall be deposited with the Mortgagee and applied by the Mortgagee in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.5.6, 2.5.7, 2.5.9 and 2.5.10. Any Award remaining after the completion of such restoration, replacement or rebuilding shall be applied in reduction of the Obligations (including principal, interest and other sums secured hereby) in such order as the Mortgagee shall determine. A partial taking is substantial only if it materially decreases the fair market value of the Mortgaged Premises and the remainder of the Mortgaged Premises cannot be restored to an economically viable whole. 3.4. Temporary Taking. If any Award payable to the Mortgagor on account of a taking for temporary use or occupancy is made in a lump sum or is payable other than in equal monthly installments, the Mortgagor shall pay over such Award to the Depository and such Award shall be applied to installments of Impositions and of principal and interest and all other charges secured by this Mortgage or due in respect of the Obligations or the other Loan Documents as and when the same become due and payable. Any unapplied portion of such Award held by the Depository when such taking ceases or expires (if no Event of Default has then occurred and is continuing), or after the Obligations shall have been paid in full, shall be paid to the Mortgagor or to any other party entitled thereto. 3.5. The Mortgagor's Obligation to Restore. If proceeds of the Award are made available to the Mortgagor for restoration, replacement or rebuilding pursuant hereto, the Mortgagor shall be obligated promptly to restore, replace, rebuild or alter any Improvements or Building Service Equipment affected by a taking so as to restore the Mortgaged Premises to an economically viable whole, all without regard to the adequacy of the proceeds of an Award, if any, made available to the Mortgagor. 27

ARTICLE IV Assignment of Space Leases, Profits and Other Income as Further Security, Etc. ------------------------------------------ 4.1. Assignment of Space Leases, Rents, Issues and Profits. The Mortgagor hereby absolutely assigns and sets over unto the Mortgagee all Space Leases, if any, now or hereafter entered into with respect to all or any part of the Mortgaged Premises, and all renewals, extensions, subleases or assignments thereof, and all other occupancy agreements (written or oral), by concession, license or otherwise, together with all of the rents, income, receipts, revenues, issues and profits arising therefrom (the "Collateral"). This assignment is intended by the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee to create, and shall be construed to create, an absolute assignment of all Space Leases, rents, issues and profits, subject only to the terms and conditions of this Mortgage. 4.2. The Mortgagor's Covenants Regarding Space Leases. 4.2.1. Without the prior consent and approval of the Mortgagee in each instance, the Mortgagor will not (a) assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise encumber any of the Space Leases or the rents, income, issue and profits of the Mortgaged Premises; or (b) enter into any Space Leases affecting the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof, unless such Space Lease is expressly subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage and to any consolidation, extension, renewal, recasting or refinancing hereof and the Space Lease provides, in substance, that in the event of enforcement by the Mortgagee of the remedies provided for by law or by this Mortgage, each Space Tenant shall, at the option of the Mortgagee, attorn to any person succeeding to the interest of the Mortgagor as a result of such enforcement and shall recognize such successor in interest as landlord (or sublandlord, as the case may be) under such Space Lease without change in the terms or other provisions thereof, provided, however, that such successor shall not be bound by any payment of rent or additional rent for more than one (1) month in advance or any amendment or modification of any such Space Lease made without the Mortgagee's written consent; or (c) enter into any Space Leases except in accordance with the provisions of the Note. 4.2.2. The Mortgagor further represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that: (a) To the best of its knowledge, each Space Lease is (or, when executed, will be) a valid and legally enforceable obligation of the parties thereto, in full force and effect. (b) With respect to each Space Lease and the Space Tenant security deposits thereunder, any and/or all of such security deposits shall be held as required by the Space Lease but in no event in a manner other than that required by law. (c) The Mortgagor shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep, observe, perform and discharge, duly and punctually, all and singular the material obligations, terms, covenants, conditions, representations and warranties of each Space Lease on the part of the Mortgagor to be kept, observed, performed and discharged. 28

(d) (i) Except as herein in this clause (i) expressly provided, the Mortgagor shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain the Space Leases in full force and effect; the Mortgagor will not waive its rights under or materially modify, change, supplement, alter or amend ("Change"), nor shall the Mortgagor surrender (whether partial or total), terminate, cancel or subordinate, any of the Space Leases, and any such attempted Change, surrender, termination, cancellation or subordination shall be void, unless, in each case, the prior written consent thereto of the Mortgagee shall have been obtained. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Mortgagor may terminate or cancel any Space Lease as a result of a material default by the tenant under such Space Lease if (w) such termination is being effected in the ordinary course of the Mortgagor's business, (x) no Event of Default then exists and (y) such termination or cancellation would not materially and adversely affect the value of the Space Leases as collateral security for the Obligations. A material Change shall include but not be limited to any material Change in the amount or time of payment of the rent or additional rent, the length of term or square footage of the premises under any Space Lease or any other Change which would materially adversely affect the Mortgagor's rights under the Space Lease, or would affect the Mortgagee's rights under the Space Lease or the value of the Space Lease as collateral security for the Obligations. (ii) The Mortgagor shall, at its sole cost and expense, enforce the Space Leases in accordance with their terms; and shall appear in and defend any action or proceeding arising to which it is a party under or in any manner connected with any of the Space Leases. (e) The Mortgagor shall deliver to the Mortgagee a copy of each notice of default sent or received by it relating in any way to any Space Lease promptly upon, but in any event within five (5) business days after, its sending or receipt thereof. 4.3. The Mortgagor's Rights, and Powers. 4.3.1. The Mortgagor hereby irrevocably, in the name of the Mortgagor or otherwise, authorizes and empowers the Mortgagee, and absolutely assigns and transfers unto the Mortgagee, and constitutes and appoints the Mortgagee its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest and as its agent, irrevocably, with full power of substitution for it and in its name, but solely for the following purposes: (i) to exercise and enforce every right, power, remedy, authority, option and privilege of the Mortgagor under the Space Leases, and as such attorney-in-fact, the Mortgagee may subordinate, terminate, cancel or modify the Space Leases, accept the surrender of the Space Leases, give any notice, take any action resulting in such subordination, termination, cancellation, modification or surrender, give any authorization, furnish any information, make any demands, execute any instruments and take any and all other action on behalf of and in the name of the Mortgagor which in the opinion of the Mortgagee may be necessary or appropriate to be given, furnished, made, exercised or taken by the Mortgagor under the Space Leases in order to comply therewith, to perform the conditions thereof or to prevent or remedy any default by the Mortgagor thereunder or to enforce any of the Mortgagor's rights and remedies thereunder, and (ii) to ask, require, demand, receive and collect and give acquittances for the Income (as hereinafter defined), and on nonpayment thereof to sue for, recover and receive the same, and on payment thereof to give sufficient releases, receipts, discharges and acquittances thereof; to endorse 29

any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Mortgagee may deem to be necessary or advisable; provided, however, that the power provided for in this sentence may not be exercised by the Mortgagee unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. "Income" shall mean all deposits, rents, issues, profits, revenues, royalties, and other revenue producing arrangements, whether written or oral, and all monetary benefits of, and/or derived from, and/or sums payable under and by virtue of the Space Leases and/or the Premises. 4.3.2. So long as there shall not have occurred and then be continuing any Event of Default and until such right of Mortgagor is terminated by the Mortgagee as in Section 4.3.3 provided, the Mortgagee will not exercise its rights pursuant to Section 4.3.1, and the Mortgagor shall have the right (but limited as hereinafter provided) to exercise all of its rights under the Space Leases, provided that the Mortgagor shall at all times comply with, observe and perform, in the exercise of such right, all of the provisions of this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents applicable to the Space Leases; provided, further, that no action shall be taken or failed to be taken by the Mortgagor which would impair the Collateral or any other collateral security for the Obligations provided for in the Loan Documents. 4.3.3. The Mortgagee, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at its option and upon written notice to the Mortgagor, shall have the right to terminate the right of the Mortgagor to exercise its rights under the Space Leases, and, thereupon, in addition, the Mortgagee, at any time thereafter, at its option, shall have the complete right, power and authority hereunder to exercise and enforce all rights, powers, remedies, authority, options and privileges of the Mortgagor under the Space Leases in the name of the Mortgagor or the Mortgagee, to enforce all obligations of the other parties to the Space Leases and to exercise and enforce all of its rights and remedies hereunder and under law not exercisable prior to an Event of Default. 4.3.4. The Mortgagor does hereby direct each and all of the Space Tenants under the Space Leases and all contractual obligors of the Mortgagor to pay any Income to the Mortgagee upon demand for payment thereof by the Mortgagee without further inquiry. It is understood and agreed, however, that no such demand shall be made unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. No such Space Tenant or obligor shall be obliged to account to the Mortgagor for any amounts paid to the Mortgagee by reason of any payment made to the Mortgagee pursuant to such demand and, upon any such payment to the Mortgagee, shall be pro tanto released from their obligations to the Mortgagor. Each Space Tenant shall be permitted to rely on any communication from the Mortgagee pursuant hereto, and under no circumstances shall such Space Tenant be obligated to the Mortgagor for any payments made to the Mortgagee hereunder. Until such demand is made, the Mortgagor is authorized to collect or enforce or continue collecting or enforcing such Income in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage. 4.3.5. The Mortgagee shall not have any duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon or payments with respect thereto, or as to the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto beyond the safe custody of any thereof actually in its possession. In no instance shall the Mortgagee be responsible to lessees for payment of interest upon, or return of, 30

any lease security deposits, except as provided by law or as provided in the leases and then only if and to the extent that such deposits are received by the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein or required by provision of law which may not be waived, hereby waives any and all notices or demands with respect to any exercise by the Mortgagee of any rights or powers which it may have or to which it may be entitled with respect to the Collateral. 4.3.6. The Mortgagor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Mortgagee as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Mortgagor, which appointment is coupled with an interest, with full power of substitution, to proceed from time to time in the Mortgagor's name in any statutory or non-statutory proceeding affecting the Mortgagor or any Collateral, and the Mortgagee or its nominee may (i) execute and file proof claim for the full amount of any Collateral and vote such claims for the full amount thereof (A) for or against any proposal or resolution, (B) for a trustee or trustees or for a receiver or receivers or for a committee of creditors and/or (C) for the acceptance or rejection of any proposed arrangement, plan of reorganization, composition or extension, and the Mortgagee or its nominee may receive any payment or distribution and give acquittance therefor and may exchange or release Collateral; (ii) endorse any draft or other instrument for the payment of money, execute releases and negotiate and enter into settlements; and (iii) execute all such other documents or instruments as may be necessary or expedient to be executed by the Mortgagor for any of the purposes of this Mortgage; provided, however, that the power provided for in this sentence may be exercised by the Mortgagee only while an Event of Default is continuing. The Mortgagee shall have no duty to exercise any of the aforesaid rights, privileges or options and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. 4.4. Remedies and Entry Upon Default. 4.4.1. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Mortgagor shall have the right to collect (but not more than one (1) month in advance) and retain all of the rents, gross receipts and other payments, if any, from the Space Leases and from the Mortgaged Premises generally, and the Mortgagee agrees that customary initial rent payments, security deposits and reimbursements by a Space Tenant to the Mortgagor on account of alterations made by the Mortgagor for the benefit of the Space Tenant are permissible advance payments by the Space Tenant. 4.4.2. Upon any Event of Default, the Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to: (a) terminate the rights of the Mortgagor referred to in Section 4.3 hereof and exercise all of the powers, rights and remedies provided for in Section 4.3 hereof, including those to be exercised only from and after an Event of Default; (b) at any time and from time to time, without notice to, or assent by, the Mortgagor or any other Person, but without affecting any of the Obligations, in the name of the Mortgagor or in the name of the Mortgagee, notify the account debtors and obligors on any or all of the Space Leases to make payment and performance directly to the Mortgagee, and demand, collect, receive, compound and give acquittance for the Space Leases or any 31

part thereof; extend the time of payment and performance of, compromise or settle for cash, credit or otherwise, upon any terms and conditions, any of the Space Leases; endorse to the order of the Mortgagee checks, drafts or other orders or instruments for the payment of moneys payable to the Mortgagor which shall be issued in respect of any of the Space Leases; file any claims, commence, maintain or discontinue any actions, suits or other proceedings deemed by the Mortgagee necessary or advisable for the purpose of collecting upon or enforcing any of the Space Leases; and execute any instrument and do all other things deemed necessary and proper by the Mortgagee to protect and preserve and realize upon the Space Leases and/or the other rights contemplated hereby and the Mortgagor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Mortgagee as such Mortgagor's lawful attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, and its agent for the foregoing purposes; (c) demand, collect, sue for, attach, levy, recover, receive, compromise and adjust, and make, execute and deliver receipts and releases for all Income that may then be or may thereafter become due, owing or payable with respect to the Premises or any part or parts thereof from any present or future lessees, tenants, subtenants or occupants thereof or from any present or future contract obligors; and/or (d) pay, in such order as the Mortgagee in its sole discretion shall determine, from and out of the Income collected in connection with the Premises and/or the Collateral or any part or parts thereof or from or out of any other funds (less the expense of collection, including attorneys' fees and disbursements), any taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rates, or other government or other charges levied, assessed or imposed against the Premises or any part or part thereof, and also any and all other charges, costs and expenses which the Mortgagee deems necessary or advisable to pay in respect of the management or operation of the Premises, including, without limitation, the costs of insurance policies, repairs and alterations, commissions for renting the Premises or any part or parts thereof, legal expenses in enforcing claims, preparing papers or procuring any other services that may be required and any amounts payable under or pursuant to any Lease. All amounts so paid and expended shall be payable on demand, together with interest at the Default Rate from the date incurred until paid, and be deemed to be included within the Obligations and secured by this Mortgage. The provisions of Section 4.2.2 and the rights given to the Mortgagee hereby shall inure to the benefit of the Mortgagee even though the Mortgagee does not enter and take possession of the Premises. Any balance remaining after the Obligations shall have been paid in full shall be turned over to the Mortgagor or such other Person as may lawfully be entitled thereto. Neither the entry upon and taking possession of the Mortgaged Premises, nor the collection and application of the rents, gross receipts or other charges thereof, nor any other action taken by the Mortgagee in connection therewith, shall cure or waive any default hereunder or waive or modify any notice thereof or notice of acceleration of the Obligations theretofore given by the Mortgagee. 4.4.3. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Mortgagee shall have entered upon the Mortgaged Premises as provided in Section 6.2.2 hereof, a notice in writing by the Mortgagee to the Space Tenants under the Space Leases advising them that the Mortgagor has defaulted hereunder and requesting that all future payments of rent, additional rent or other 32

charges under the Space Leases be made to the Mortgagee (or its agent) shall be construed as conclusive authority to such Space Tenants that such payments are to be made to the Mortgagee (or its agent). Each Space Tenant shall be fully protected in making such payments to the Mortgagee (or its agent) and be given full credit against its obligations under the applicable Space Lease to the extent of payments made to the Mortgagee (or its agent) pursuant to any such notice; and the Mortgagor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Mortgagee the attorney-in-fact and agent of the Mortgagor, coupled with an interest, for the purpose of endorsing the consent of the Mortgagor on any such notice. 4.5. No Obligation of Mortgagee. 4.5.1. The Mortgagee shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation of the Mortgagor as a result of the collateral assignment hereby effected, and the Mortgagor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Mortgagee harmless from and against any and all liability, loss or damage which the Mortgagee may incur by reason of any act of the Mortgagee under this Mortgage, other than as a result of the Mortgagee's willful misconduct or gross negligence. Should the Mortgagee incur any such liability, loss or damage by reason of this Mortgage and which is covered by the foregoing indemnity, or in defense against any such claims or demands, or perform any acts or covenants on the part of Mortgagor to be performed under the Space Leases, or pay for the account of the Mortgagor any and all sums, costs and expenses for the discharge of taxes, assessments, water rents or other liens against the Collateral (as hereinafter defined) or any part thereof, or on account of insurance premiums or repairs, and also any amounts and expenses necessary to perform any covenants and conditions to be performed on the part of the Mortgagor under the Space Leases, the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and attorneys' fees, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such expenses were paid by the Mortgagee to the date of payment to the Mortgagee by the Mortgagor, shall be included in the Obligations secured by this Mortgage, and the Mortgagor shall reimburse the Mortgagee therefor upon demand. 4.5.2. The acceptance by the Mortgagee of this Mortgage, with all the rights, powers, privileges and authority so created, shall not at any time or in any event obligate the Mortgagee to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Collateral, or to take any action hereunder or thereunder, or to expend any money or incur any expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under the Collateral. ARTICLE V Security Agreement Under Uniform Commercial Code ------------------------------------------------ 5.1. The Mortgagor intends that this Mortgage shall constitute a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State (the "Code") with respect to all of the Mortgagor's right, title and interest in and to the Building Service Equipment and Furnishings as are considered or as shall be determined to be personal property or "fixtures" (as defined in the Code) and all books, records, licenses and certificates of the Mortgagor or relating to the Mortgaged Premises, together with all replacements thereof, substitutions therefor or additions thereto (said property being sometimes hereinafter in this Article V referred to as the "Personal Property 33

Collateral"), and that a security interest shall attach thereto for the benefit of the Mortgagee to secure the Obligations and all other sums and charges which may become due hereunder, thereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. The Mortgagor hereby authorizes the Mortgagee to file financing and continuation statements with respect to the Personal Property Collateral without the signature of the Mortgagor, if permitted by the Code as adopted by the State. In any event the Mortgagor covenants to execute such financing and continuation statements as the Mortgagee may reasonably request. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Mortgagee, pursuant to the appropriate provisions of the Code, shall have the option of proceeding as to both real and personal property in accordance with its rights and remedies in respect of real property under this Mortgage and the law of the State, in which event the default provisions of the Code shall not apply. The Mortgagor agrees that, in the event the Mortgagee shall elect to proceed with respect to the Personal Property Collateral separately from the real property, unless a greater period shall then be mandated by the Code, five (5) days notice of the sale of the Personal Property Collateral shall be reasonable notice. The expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale and selling incurred by the Mortgagee shall be assessed against the Mortgagor and shall include, but not be limited to, the reasonable legal expenses incurred by Mortgagee. The Mortgagor agrees that it will not remove or permit to be removed from the Mortgaged Premises any of the Personal Property Collateral without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee except as set forth in Section 2.7.2. All replacements, renewals and additions to the Personal Property Collateral shall be and become immediately subject to the security interest of this Mortgage and the provisions of this Article V. The Mortgagor warrants and represents that all Personal Property Collateral now is free and clear of all liens, encumbrances or security interests other than the Permitted Encumbrances, and that all replacements of the Personal Property Collateral, substitutions therefor or additions thereto, unless the Mortgagee otherwise consents, will be, free and clear of liens, encumbrances or security interests of others. ARTICLE VI Events of Default and Remedies ------------------------------ 6.1. Events of Default. Mortgagee shall be entitled to exercise any and all of the remedies provided in Section 6.2 and in the other Loan Documents upon the happening of an Event of Default. The term "Event of Default", wherever used in the Mortgage, shall mean any one or more of the following events: (a) failure of Mortgagor (x) to pay, for a period of ten (10) days after the same becomes due (i) any installment of interest and/or principal under this Note, or (ii) any other payment required hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or under any supplement, modification or extension hereof or thereof, or (y) to pay the final principal balance of the Note when due, whether upon the stated maturity date set forth therein, upon acceleration of such principal sum or otherwise, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon; or (b) if any of Mortgagor's representations or warranties contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents shall be untrue or incorrect in any material respect at the time made, or if any such warranty or 34

representation intended to be a continuing one shall become untrue or incorrect in any material respect and Mortgagor shall fail to remedy such situation within thirty (30) days after notice from Mortgagee, unless such situation cannot be remedied in such period and provided further that the Mortgagor shall commence compliance with such situation and shall continue to diligently prosecute such compliance, then such cure period shall be extended for an additional sixty (60) day period, or such other period of time as the Mortgagee may agree in writing (or immediately upon notice in case of emergency); or (c) if Mortgagor shall commence a voluntary case concerning itself under Title 11 of the United States Code entitled "Bankruptcy" as now or hereafter in effect, or any successor thereto (the "Bankruptcy Code"); or an involuntary case is commenced against Mortgagor and the petition is not controverted within thirty (30) days, or is not dismissed within ninety (90) days, after commencement of the case; or a custodian (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code) is appointed for, or takes charge of, all or any substantial part of the property of Mortgagor; or Mortgagor commences any other proceeding under any reorganization, arrangement, adjustment of debt, relief of debtors, dissolution, insolvency or liquidation or similar law of any jurisdiction whether now or hereafter in effect relating to Mortgagor or there is commenced against Mortgagor any such proceeding which remains undismissed for a period of ninety (90) days; or Mortgagor is adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt; or any order of relief of other order approving any such case or proceeding is entered; or Mortgagor suffers any appointment of any custodian or the like for it or any substantial part of its property to continue undischarged or unstayed for a period of ninety (90) days; or Mortgagor makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or Mortgagor shall fail to pay, or shall state that it is unable to pay, or shall be unable to pay, its debts generally as they become due; or Mortgagor shall call a meeting of its creditors with a view to arranging a composition or adjustment of its debts; or (d) if any of the events enumerated in clause (c) of this Section shall happen to Acadia; or (e) if any execution, warrant, attachment, garnishment or other similar processes shall be levied or filed against the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof, or against Mortgagor which involve claims aggregating more than $100,000 and such processes shall not be stayed, vacated or discharged, such as by bonding, within ninety (90) days after the same shall have been levied or filed; or (f) if Mortgagor shall fail to perform or observe, or cause to be performed or observed the provisions contained in Section 2.18. herein, within the time periods set forth therein, with time being of the essence; or (g) except as otherwise provided in PARAGRAPH (f) directly hereinabove, if Mortgagor shall fail to perform or observe, or cause to be performed or observed, any other term, obligation, covenant, condition or agreement contained in the Note, this Mortgage or in any of the other Loan Documents, or in any assignment of leases and rents or in any other instrument executed concurrently herewith by Mortgagor and/or Guarantor or 35

supplemental hereto, pertaining to the debt evidenced by this Note or the security therefor, or under any supplement, modification or extension of any of the foregoing, on its part to be performed and such failure shall have continued for a period of thirty (30) days after notice thereof; provided, however, if such default shall not have been occasioned by any willful act of Mortgagor, and if such default cannot with due diligence be cured within such thirty (30) days period, the time within which to cure the same shall be extended for such period as may be necessary to cure the same with due diligence if Mortgagor commences within such thirty (30) days and proceeds diligently to cure the same; or (h) if there should occur a default which is not cured within the applicable grace or cure period, if any, under any mortgage or deed of trust of all or part of the Mortgaged Premises (as such term is defined in the Mortgage), including a mortgage or deed of trust held by Mortgagee, regardless of whether any such other mortgage or deed of trust is superior, subordinate, or collateral to the Mortgage; it being further agreed by Mortgagor that an Event of Default shall constitute an "Event of Default" under any such other mortgage or deed of trust held by Mortgagee; provided, however, that this provision shall not be construed as Mortgagee's consent to any such mortgage or deed of trust; or (i) if any "Event of Default" (as such term is defined in any Loan Document) shall occur; or (j) if there shall be an acceleration upon default of any other loan made by or held by Mortgagee to a borrower controlled by Acadia; or (k) if any Guarantor defaults under or attempts to withdraw, cancel or disclaim liability under any Indemnity pursuant to the terms therein; or (l) if the Mortgagor shall default in the observance or performance of any term, covenant or condition of the Ground Lease on the part of the Mortgagor, as lessee thereunder, to be observed or performed beyond any applicable notice and cure periods under the Ground Lease; or (m) if the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease shall be surrendered, in whole or in material part, or if the Lease shall be terminated or canceled for any reason or under any circumstance whatsoever, or if any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Ground Lease shall in any manner be materially modified, changed, supplemented, altered or amended without the consent of the Mortgagee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 6.2. Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Mortgagee, at its option, may: 6.2.1. by notice to the Mortgagor, declare the entire principal amount of the Note then outstanding and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other Obligations of the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee to be immediately due and payable, and upon such declaration such principal and interest and all other Obligations of the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee shall become and be immediately 36

due and payable, anything in the Note or in this Mortgage or in any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding. 6.2.2. after commencement of such proceedings as may be required by any applicable law, either in person, or by its agents or attorneys, or by a court-appointed receiver, enter into and upon all or any part of the Mortgaged Premises and exclude the Mortgagor, its agents and employees from possession; and while in possession, use, operate, manage, control, and conduct the business of, the Mortgaged Premises in such manner and to such extent as the Mortgagee shall, in its reasonable discretion, determine to be appropriate, either itself or by its employees, agents, attorneys or the receiver; and maintain and restore the Mortgaged Premises and make all necessary or proper repairs, replacements, alterations, and improvements as the Mortgagee, in its reasonable discretion, determines to be advisable; and, without limiting the Mortgagee's rights under Section 4.4.2, the Mortgagee (whether or not it shall have taken possession of the Premises or obtained a receiver for the Mortgaged Premises) shall be entitled to collect and receive all earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits and income of the Mortgaged Premises. After first deducting the amount of expenses incurred in connection with the operation of the Mortgaged Premises, including advances for maintenance, repairs, alterations, improvements, taxes, assessments, insurance and other prior or current charges in respect of the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof, as well as compensation for the services of the Mortgagee and for all attorneys, agents, consultants and other persons engaged by it to render services in connection with the Mortgaged Premises, the Mortgagee shall apply the balance of said moneys to the payment of the Obligations. Any remaining moneys shall be remitted to the Mortgagor or to such other person as lawfully may be entitled thereto. Any and all amounts advanced by the Mortgagee as authorized, or contemplated, by this Section 6.2.2 shall bear interest from the date advanced at the Default Rate and, together with such interest, shall be added to the Obligations secured by this Mortgage, and shall be payable by Mortgagor on demand. 6.2.3. with or without entry, either itself or by its agents or attorneys: (a) foreclose this Mortgage in accordance with the laws of the State and the provisions hereof, for all of the Obligations or for any portion thereof or any other sums secured hereby which are then due and payable, subject to the continuing lien of this Mortgage for the balance of the Obligations not then due; or (b) take such steps to protect and enforce its rights whether by action, suit or proceeding in equity or at law for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement in the Note or in this Mortgage, or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, or for any foreclosure hereunder, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy or otherwise as the Mortgagee shall elect, including bringing any appropriate action or proceeding to foreclose this Mortgage and any other documents securing the Note and to sell, as an entirety or in separate lots or parcels, the Mortgaged Property under the power of sale hereinafter provided or the judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction; and (c) to pursue any other remedy available to it. The Mortgagee shall take action either by such proceedings or by the exercise of its power with respect to entry and/or taking possession, or both, as the Mortgagee may determine; and 37

6.2.4. exercise any or all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents in such order of priority as the Mortgagee shall determine in its sole discretion. The Mortgagee may proceed in any such action to final judgment and execution thereon for all sums due under Section 6.2.1, together with interest on such sums at the Default Rate. Interest at the Default Rate shall be due on any judgment obtained by the Mortgagee from the date of judgment until actual payment is made of the full amount of the judgment by the Sheriff or otherwise. 6.3. Foreclosure; No Marshalling of Assets; Appointment of Receiver. 6.3.1. In case of a foreclosure sale, all of the Mortgaged Premises, at the option of Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, may be sold in one or more parcels even though the proceeds of such sale exceed or may exceed the Obligations. The Mortgagee shall not be required to exercise any rights under this Mortgage before proceeding against any other security, shall not be required to proceed against other security before proceeding under this Mortgage, and shall not be precluded from proceeding against any or all of any security held by the Mortgagee for any or all of the Obligations in any order or at the same time. 6.3.2. The Mortgagee, in any action to foreclose this Mortgage, shall be entitled, without notice and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Obligations or the solvency of any Person liable for the payment thereof, to the appointment of a receiver of the rents and profits of the Mortgaged Premises. 6.3.3. The Mortgagor agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully do so, that in any foreclosure or other action brought by the Mortgagee to enforce this Mortgage, it will not at any time insist upon or plead or in any way take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, marshalling of assets, extension, redemption or moratorium law now or hereafter in force and effect so as to prevent, hinder, delay or otherwise affect the enforcement of the provisions of this Mortgage or any rights or remedies the Mortgagee may have hereunder or by law. 6.3.4. If the Mortgagee shall elect to accelerate the Obligations following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Mortgagor, within five (5) days after demand, will pay to the Mortgagee, or any receiver appointed in connection with the foreclosure of this Mortgage, any and all amounts then held as security deposits under all Space Leases; and the Mortgagee or such receiver shall be deemed to indemnify the Mortgagor against all claims of tenants in respect of the security deposits so paid following such demand. 6.3.5. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, in addition to all other rights of the Mortgagee provided in this Mortgage or by law, the Mortgagor shall, on demand, surrender possession of the Mortgaged Premises to the Mortgagee; the Mortgagor consents that the Mortgagee may exercise any or all of the rights specified in Section 6.2.2; and the Mortgagor irrevocably appoints the Mortgagee its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, for such purposes. If the Mortgagor is then an occupant of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Premises, it agrees to surrender possession of that part of the Mortgaged Premises which it occupies to the Mortgagee immediately upon demand if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If the Mortgagor remains in possession despite such demand, such possession shall, at the Mortgagee's election, be as tenant of the Mortgagee; and the Mortgagor agrees to pay monthly in advance to the Mortgagee such rent for the premises so occupied as the 38

Mortgagee may demand, and in default of so doing, the Mortgagor may also be dispossessed by summary proceedings or otherwise. If a receiver of the rents and profits of the Mortgaged Premises shall be appointed, the covenants of this Section 6.3.5 may be enforced by the receiver. 6.4. Legal Expenses of Mortgagee. 6.4.1. The Mortgagor will pay to the Mortgagee, on demand, all costs, charges and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred or paid at any time by the Mortgagee (i) in connection with any action or proceeding to foreclose this Mortgage or to recover or collect all, or any portion of the Obligations; and (ii) in connection with any modification or amendment or assignment of this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, together with interest on each such payment made by the Mortgagee at the Default Rate from the date of the Mortgagee's demand for such payment to the date of reimbursement by Mortgagor. 6.4.2. If any action or proceeding be commenced in which the Mortgagee is made a party, or in which it becomes necessary to defend or uphold the lien of this Mortgage, all reasonable sums paid by the Mortgagee for the expense of any litigation to prosecute or defend the title, rights and lien created by this Mortgage (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) shall be paid by the Mortgagor, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of the Mortgagee's demand for such payment to the date of reimbursement by Mortgagor. 6.5. Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver; Etc. 6.5.1. No remedy in this Mortgage conferred upon or reserved to the Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission by the Mortgagee in exercising any right or power arising upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of or acquiescence in any such Event of Default; and every power and remedy given by this Mortgage to the Mortgagee may be exercised from time to time as often as the Mortgagee may determine it is appropriate to do so. 6.5.2. A waiver in one or more instances of compliance with any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Mortgage or of the other Loan Documents shall apply to the particular instance or instances and at the particular time or times only, and no such waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver. In any event, no waiver shall be effective, or be asserted by the Mortgagor as having been made, unless set forth in a writing signed by the Mortgagee. 6.5.3. The Mortgagor waives and renounces all homestead and similar exemption rights with respect to the Mortgaged Premises provided for by the Constitution and laws of the United States and of the State as against the collection of the Loan Documents, or any part thereof. 6.6. No Merger. It is the intention of the parties to this Mortgage that if the Mortgagee shall at any time hereafter acquire title to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Premises, then, and until the Obligations have been paid in full, the interest of the Mortgagee hereunder and the lien of this 39

Mortgage shall not merge or become merged in or with the estate and interest of the Mortgagee as the holder and owner of title to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Premises and that, until such payment, the estate of the Mortgagee in the Mortgaged Premises and the lien of this Mortgage and the interest of the Mortgagee hereunder shall continue in full force and effect to the same extent as if the Mortgagee had not acquired title to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Premises. 6.7. Foreclosure of Mortgage by Power of Sale. Mortgagee may, either with or without entry of taking possession of the Mortgaged Property as provided in this Mortgage or otherwise, personally or by its agents or attorneys, and without prejudice to the right to bring an action for foreclosure of this Mortgage, sell the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof pursuant to any procedures provide by applicable law, including, without limitation, the procedures set forth in Article 14 of the New York Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law (and any amendments or substitute statutes in regard thereto), and all estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand therein, and right of redemption thereof, at one or more sales as an entity or in parcels, and at such time and place upon such terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by applicable law. All Notices hereunder or under any applicable law pertaining hereto (including, without limitation, Article 14 of the New York Real Property Actions and Proceeding Law) shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given or served for all purposes when delivered (i) by personal service or courier service, and shall be deemed given on the date when signed for or, if refused, when refused by the person designated as an agent for receipt of service, (ii) by facsimile transmission, and shall be deemed given when printed confirmation of completion of transmission is generated by the sender's facsimile transmission instrument, or (iii) by United States certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and shall be deemed given two (2) days after being sent, to any party hereto at the following address: 20 Soundview Marketplace, Port Washington, New York 11050 or such other address of which a party shall have notified the party giving such notice in writing as aforesaid. For purposes hereof, notices may be given by the parties hereto or by their attorneys identified herein. 6.8. Purchase by Mortgagee. Without limiting any other provision contained herein, upon any such foreclosure sale, the Mortgagee may bid for and purchase the Mortgaged Property and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and possess and dispose of such property in its own absolute right without further accountability. 6.9. Application of Indebtedness Toward Purchase Price. Without limiting any other provision contained herein, upon any such foreclosure sale, the Mortgagee may, if permitted by law, and after allowing for costs and expenses of the sale, compensation and other charges, in paying the purchase price, apply any portion or all of the indebtedness and other sums due to the Mortgagee under the Note, this Mortgage or any other instrument securing the Note, in lieu of cash, to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable thereon. 6.10. Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Stay, Execution and Redemption Laws. Without limiting any other provision contained herein, the Mortgagor agrees, to the full extent permitted by law that in case of a default on its part hereunder, neither the Mortgagor nor anyone claiming through or under it 40

shall or will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption laws now or hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Mortgage or the absolute sale of the Mortgaged Property or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereat, and the Mortgagor for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that may be lawfully so do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have the assets comprising the Mortgaged Property marshaled upon any foreclosure of the lien hereof and agrees that the Mortgagee or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may sell the Mortgaged Property in part or as an entirety. Mortgagor agrees that neither it nor any guarantor will assert a defense in any action to recover a deficiency judgment following a foreclosure that the sales price realized at the sale was less than the fair market value. 6.11. Receiver. Without limiting any other provision contained herein, if an Event of Default shall have occurred, the Mortgagee, to the extent permitted by law and without regard to the value, adequacy or sufficiency of the security for the indebtedness and other sums secured hereby, shall be entitled as a matter of right if it so elects to the appointment of a receiver to enter upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property and to collect all rents, income and other benefits thereof and apply the same as the court may direct. The expenses, including receiver's fees, reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and reasonable agent's compensation, incurred pursuant to the powers herein contained shall be secured by this Mortgage. The right to enter and take possession of and to manage and operate the Mortgaged Property and to collect all rents, income and other benefits thereof, whether by a receiver or otherwise, shall be cumulative to any other right or remedy hereunder of afforded by law or in equity and may be exercised concurrently therewith or independently therewith or independently thereof. The Mortgagee shall be liable to account only for such rents, income and other benefits actually received by the Mortgagee, whether received pursuant to this paragraph or paragraph 3.03. Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver or other custodian, the Mortgagee shall be entitled as pledged to the possession and control of any cash, deposits, or instruments at the time held by, or payable or deliverable under the terms of this Mortgage to, the Mortgagee. 6.12. Suits to Protect the Mortgaged Property. Without limiting any other provision contained herein, the Mortgagee shall have the power and authority to institute and maintain any suits and proceedings as the Mortgagee may deem advisable in its judgment (a) to prevent any impairment of the Mortgaged Property by any acts which may be unlawful or any violation of this Mortgage, (b) to preserve or protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property, and (c) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other governmental enactment, rule or order might impair the security hereunder or be prejudicial to the Mortgagee's interest. 6.13. Proofs of Claim. Without limiting any other provision contained herein, in case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceedings affecting the Mortgagor or any guarantor, co-maker or endorser of any of the Mortgagor's obligations, its creditors or its property, the Mortgagee, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have its claims allowed in such proceedings for the entire amount due and payable by the Mortgagor under the Note, this Mortgage and any other instrument securing the Note, at the date 41

of the institution of such proceedings, and for any additional amounts which may become due and payable by the Mortgagor after such date. 6.14. Delay or Omission; No Waiver. No delay or omission of Mortgagee or of any holder of the Note to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to waive any such Event of Default or to constitute acquiescence therein. Every right, power and remedy given to the Mortgagee may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee. 6.15. No Waiver of One Default to Affect Another. No waiver of any Event of Default hereunder shall extend to or affect any subsequent or any other Event of Default then existing, or impair any rights, powers or remedies consequent thereon.
