(5) The place where the principal of and interest on the 2009
Notes shall be payable and 2009 Notes may be surrendered for the
registration of transfer or exchange shall be the Corporate Trust Office
of the Trustee which, as of this writing, is located at Xxx
Xxxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000. The place where
notices or demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the 2009 Notes
and the Indenture may be served shall be the Corporate Trust Office of
the Trustee.
(6) (A) The 2009 Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option
of the Issuer, in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption
price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount of the 2009 Notes (or
portion thereof) being redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the
redemption date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount (as defined below), if
any, with respect to such 2009 Notes (or portion thereof) (the
"Redemption Price").
If notice has been given as provided in the Indenture
and funds for the redemption of any 2009 Notes (or any portion thereof)
called for redemption shall have been made available on the redemption
date referred to in such notice, such 2009 Notes (or any portion
thereof) will cease to bear interest on the date fixed for such
redemption specified in such notice and the only right of the Holders of
the 2009 Notes will be to receive payment of the Redemption Price, with
respect to such 2009 Notes or portion thereof so redeemed.
Notice of any optional redemption of any 2009 Notes (or
any portion thereof) will be given to Holders at their addresses, as
shown in the security register for the 2009 Notes, not more than 60 nor
less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. The notice of
redemption will specify, among other items, the Redemption Price and the
principal amount of the 2009 Notes held by such Holder to be redeemed.
On the third Business Day preceding the date notice of redemption is
given, the Company will notify the Trustee of the Redemption Price and
the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in acting upon the
determination of the Company as to such Price.
The Issuer will notify the Trustee at least 45 days
prior to giving notice of redemption (or such shorter period as is
satisfactory to the Trustee) of the aggregate principal amount of 2009
Notes to be redeemed and their redemption date. If less than all the
2009 Notes are to be redeemed at the option of the Issuer, the Trustee
shall select, in such manner as it shall deem fair and appropriate, the
2009 Notes to be redeemed in whole or in part.
-2-

In the event of redemption of the 2009 Notes in part
only, a new 2009 Note for the amount of the unredeemed portion thereof
shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereto, upon cancellation
thereof.
(B) As used herein:
"Make-Whole Amount" means, in connection with any
optional redemption or accelerated payment of any 2009 Notes, the
excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate present value as of the date of
such redemption or accelerated payment of each dollar of principal being
redeemed or paid and the amount of interest (exclusive of interest
accrued to the date of redemption or accelerated payment) that would
have been payable in respect of each such dollar if such redemption or
accelerated payment had not been made, determined by discounting, on a
semi-annual basis, such principal and interest at the Reinvestment Rate
(determined on the third Business Day preceding the date such notice of
redemption is given or declaration of acceleration is made) from the
respective dates on which such principal and interest would have been
payable if such redemption or accelerated payment had not been made,
over (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the 2009 Notes being
redeemed or paid.
"Reinvestment Rate" means 0.20% plus the arithmetic mean
of the yields under the respective heading "Week Ending" published in
the most recent Statistical Release under the caption "Treasury Constant
Maturities" for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month)
corresponding to the remaining life to maturity, as of the payment date
of the principal being redeemed or paid. If no maturity exactly
corresponds to such maturity, yields for the two published maturities
most closely corresponding to such maturity shall be calculated pursuant
to the immediately preceding sentence and the Reinvestment Rate shall be
interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis,
rounding in each of such relevant periods to the nearest month. For the
purpose of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most recent
Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the
Make-Whole Amount shall be used.
"Statistical Release" means the statistical release
designated "H.15(519)" or any successor publication which is published
weekly by the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on
actively traded United States government securities adjusted to constant
maturities, or, if such statistical release is not published at the time
of any determination under the Indenture, then such other reasonably
comparable index which shall be designated by the Issuer.
(7) The 2009 Notes shall not be redeemable at the option of any
Holder thereof, upon the occurrence of any particular circumstances or
otherwise. The 2009 Notes will not have the benefit of any sinking fund.

and any integral multiple thereof.
-3-

(9) The Trustee shall also be the Security Registrar and Paying
Agent.
(10) The entire outstanding principal amount plus the Make-Whole
Amount of the 2009 Notes shall be payable upon declaration of
acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 502 of the
Indenture.
(11) Payments of the principal of and interest on the 2009 Notes
shall be made in U.S. Dollars, and the 2009 Notes shall be denominated
in U.S. Dollars.
(12) The 2009 Notes will be payable on the Stated Maturity Date
in an amount equal to the principal amount thereof plus any unpaid
interest accrued to the Stated Maturity Date.
(13) The Holders of the 2009 Notes shall have no special rights
in addition to those provided in the Indenture upon the occurrence of
any particular events.
(14) (A) There shall be no deletions from, modifications of or
additions to the Events of Default with respect to the 2009 Notes set
forth in the Indenture.
(B) There shall be the following additions to the
covenants set forth in the Indenture with respect to the 2009 Notes,
which shall be effective only for so long as any of the 2009 Notes are
Outstanding:
Limitations On Incurrence of Debt. The Issuer will not,
and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt (as
defined below), other than inter-company debt representing Debt
to which the only parties are Xxxxxxx Properties, Inc., a
Maryland corporation (the "General Partner"), the Issuer and any
of their Subsidiaries (but only so long as such Debt is held
solely by any of the General Partner, the Issuer and any
Subsidiary) that is subordinate in right of payment to the 2009
Notes if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of
such additional Debt, the aggregate principal amount of all
outstanding Debt of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis is greater than 60% of the sum of (i) Total
Assets (as defined below) as of the end of the calendar quarter
covered in the Issuer's Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed
with the Trustee (or such reports of the General Partner if
filed by the Issuer with the Trustee in lieu of filing its own
reports) prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt and
(ii) the increase in Total Assets from the end of such quarter
including, without limitation, any increase in Total Assets
resulting from the incurrence of such additional Debt (such
increase, together with the Total Assets, is referred to as
"Adjusted Total Assets").
In addition to the foregoing limitation on the
incurrence of Debt, the Issuer will not, and will not permit any
Subsidiary to, incur any Debt if the ratio of
-4-
5
Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to the Annual
Service Charge (in each case as defined below) for the four
consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the
date on which such additional Debt is to be incurred shall have
been less than 1.5 to 1, on a pro forma basis after giving
effect to the incurrence of such Debt and to the application of
the proceeds therefrom, and calculated on the assumption that
(i) such Debt and any other Debt incurred by the Issuer or its
Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period and
the application of the proceeds therefrom, including to
refinance other Debt, had occurred at the beginning of such
period, (ii) the repayment or retirement of any other Debt by
the Issuer or its Subsidiaries since the first day of such
four-quarter period had been incurred, repaid or retired at the
beginning of such period (except that, in making such
computation, the amount of Debt under any revolving credit
facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance
of such Debt during such period), (iii) the income earned on any
increase in Adjusted Total Assets since the end of such
four-quarter period had been earned, on an annualized basis,
during such period, and (iv) in the case of any acquisition or
disposition by the Issuer or any Subsidiary of any asset or
group of assets since the first day of such four-quarter period,
including, without limitation, by merger, stock purchase or
sale, or asset purchase or sale, such acquisition or disposition
or any related repayment of Debt had occurred as of the first
day of such period with the appropriate adjustments with respect
to such acquisition or disposition being included in such pro
forma calculation.
In addition to the foregoing limitations on the
incurrence of Debt, the Issuer will not, and will not permit any
Subsidiary to, incur any Debt secured by any mortgage, lien,
charge, pledge, encumbrance or security interest of any kind
upon any of the property of the Issuer or any Subsidiary
("Secured Debt"), whether owned at the date of the Indenture or
thereafter acquired, if, immediately after giving effect to the
incurrence of such additional Secured Debt, the aggregate
principal amount of all outstanding Secured Debt is greater than
40% of Adjusted Total Assets.
For purposes of the foregoing provisions regarding the
limitation on the incurrence of Debt, Debt shall be deemed to be
"incurred" by the Issuer or a Subsidiary whenever the Issuer and
its Subsidiary shall create, assume, guarantee or otherwise
become liable in respect thereof.
Maintenance of Total Unencumbered Assets. The Issuer is
required to maintain Total Unencumbered Assets of not less than
165% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all
outstanding Unsecured Debt.

lessee which is reflected in the Issuer's consolidated balance
sheet as a capitalized lease in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, in the case of items of
indebtedness under (i) through (iii) above to the extent that
any such items (other than letters of credit) would appear as a
liability on the Issuer's consolidated balance sheet in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and
also includes, to the extent not otherwise included, any
obligation by the Issuer or such Subsidiary to be liable for, or
to pay, as obligor, guarantor or otherwise (other than for
