(6) (A) The 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 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 Notes (or portion thereof) (the "Redemption
Price").
If notice has been given as provided in the Indenture and
funds for the redemption of any Notes (or any portion thereof) called
for redemption shall have been made available on the redemption date
referred to in such notice, such Notes (or any portion thereof) will
cease to bear interest on the date fixed for such redemption specified

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 Notes held by such Holder to be redeemed. On the third

The Issuer will notify the Trustee in writing at least 45
days prior to giving notice of redemption (or such shorter period as is
satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole discretion) of the aggregate
principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and their redemption date. If
less than all the Notes are to be redeemed at the option of the Issuer,
the Trustee shall select by lot, the Notes to be redeemed in whole or in
part.
In the event of redemption of the Notes in part only, a
new 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 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 Notes being redeemed or paid.
"Reinvestment Rate" means 0.25% 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.

Amount of the 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 Notes shall
be made in U.S. Dollars, and the Notes shall be denominated in U.S.
Dollars.
(12) The 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 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 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 Notes, which
shall be effective only for so long as any of the 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 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
-4-
5
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 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.
-5-
6
Maintenance of Total Unencumbered Assets. The Issuer is

whether or not contingent, in respect of (i) borrowed money
evidenced by bonds, notes, Notes or similar instruments, (ii)
indebtedness secured by any mortgage, pledge, lien, charge,
encumbrance or any security interest existing on property owned
by the Issuer or such Subsidiary, (iii) the reimbursement
obligations, contingent or otherwise, in connection with any
letters of credit actually issued or amounts representing the
balance that constitutes an accrued expense or trade payable or
(iv) any lease of property by the Issuer or such Subsidiary as
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

This Note is one of a fully authorized issue of securities of the Issuer
issued as a series of securities issued and to be issued under an Indenture,
dated as of December 6, 1995 as supplemented by the Fourteenth Supplemental
Indenture dated April 29, 1998 (collectively, the "Indenture"), among the Issuer
and U.S. Bank Trust National Association (the "Trustee," which term includes any
successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the Notes), to which
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a

Note is one of the series designated as the "6.88% Notes Due April 30, 2007,"
limited in the aggregate principal amount to $25,000,000.
The 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 (the "Redemption
Price") equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount of the 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
Notes (or portion thereof).
If notice has been given as provided in the Indenture and funds for the
redemption of any Notes (or any portion thereof) called for redemption shall
have been made available on the redemption date referred to in such notice, such
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 Notes will be to receive payment of the Redemption Price, with respect to
such Notes or portion thereof so redeemed.
Notice of any optional redemption of any Notes (or any portion thereof)
will be given to Holders at their addresses, as shown in the Note Register, 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 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 Notes to
-2-
15
be redeemed and their redemption date. If less than all the 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 Notes to be redeemed in whole or in
part.
In the event of redemption of the Notes in part only, a new Note for the
amount of the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the
Holder hereto, upon cancellation hereof.
As used herein:
"Make-Whole Amount" means, in connection with any optional
redemption or accelerated payment of any 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 Notes being redeemed or paid.
"Reinvestment Rate" means 0.25% 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

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

The Issuer is subject to certain covenants contained in the Indenture
with respect to, and for the benefit of the Holders of, the Notes. The Trustee
shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or
otherwise, the Issuer's compliance with the covenants contained in the Indenture
or with respect to reports or other certificates filed under the Indenture;
provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve the Trustee of any
obligations to monitor the Issuer's timely delivery of all reports and
certificates required under Sections 703 and 1005 of the Indenture and to
fulfill its obligations under Article Six of the Indenture. If an Event of
Default as defined in the Indenture with respect to the Notes shall occur and be

manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the
Holder of this Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with

any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the
Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Notes, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes
at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to
institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered
the Trustee reasonable indemnity and shall have failed to institute any such
proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding a direction
inconsistent with such request. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit
instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of
principal hereof or any interest on or after the respective due dates expressed
herein.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any
time by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less
than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes. The Indenture also
contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in
principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders
of all Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the
Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.
Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any
Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or
in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon
this Note.
