A copy of the Indenture is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Vornado Realty Trusts Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 20, 2006 and is herein incorporated by reference.

This excerpt taken from the VNO 8-K filed Mar 16, 2007. Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement. Transaction Description On March 15, 2007, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Vornado Realty L.P. (Vornado Sub) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the Agreement) with various individuals and a related company (collectively, the Sellers), whereby Vornado Sub has agreed to acquire a 70% controlling interest in 1290 Avenue of the Americas, a 2.0 million square foot Manhattan office building, located on the entire blockfront between 51st and 52nd Streets on Avenue of the Americas, and the 555 California Street office complex containing 1.8 million square feet, known as the Bank of America Center, located at California and Montgomery Streets in San Franciscos financial district. 1290 Avenue of the Americas, whose largest tenants include AXA, Morrison & Foerster, Bryan Cave and Microsoft, is 100% leased. 555 California Street, whose largest tenants include Bank of America, UBS and Goldman Sachs, is 94% leased. The foregoing purchase will be effected through the acquisition by Vornado Sub of all of the shares of a group of foreign companies (collectively, the Acquired Companies) that own, indirectly through U.S. entities, the 1% sole general partnership interest and limited partnership interests comprising 69% of the partnerships that own the two properties. The remaining 30% limited partnership interest is owned by Donald J. Trump. Under the Agreement, the purchase price for Vornado Subs 70% interest in the real estate is approximately $1.807 billion, consisting of $1.010 billion of cash and $797 million of existing debt. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is approximately $775 per square foot for 1290 Avenue of the Americas and approximately $575 per square foot for 555 California Street, based on current measurement of the buildings. The payment of the purchase price is subject to customary adjustments based on the amount of certain net assets as of the closing date, including certain cash reserves, some of which are restricted. Vornado Subs 70% share of the total debt is $797 million. 1290 Avenue of the Americas is subject to a mortgage loan in the amount of $440 million that bears interest at 6.82% and is due January 2013, and 555 California Street is subject to a mortgage and other loans in the aggregate amount of $698 million that bear interest at an average rate of 5.8% and are due September 2011. The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnification for breaches of representations and warranties. The closing is scheduled for May 15, 2007, subject to customary closing conditions, including obtaining necessary lender consent. Related Litigation The limited partnerships that Vornado Sub is acquiring previously owned and developed properties located on the former Penn Central rail yards between West 59th and 72nd Streets in New York, New York (the Rail Yards). In November 2005, the limited partnerships sold the Rail Yards. Subsequently, in early 2006, the limited partnerships acquired 1290 Avenue of the Americas and 555 California Street pursuant to a Section 1031 like-kind exchange. Below is a summary, based on publicly available court papers, of certain litigation commenced by Mr. Trump. 2
On August 10, 2005, Mr. Trump brought a lawsuit in the New York State Supreme Court against, among others, the general partners of the limited partnerships that Vornado Sub is acquiring. Mr. Trumps claims arose out of a dispute over the sale price of, and use of proceeds from, the sale of the Rail Yards. Mr. Trump asserted direct and derivative claims, including for breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, conspiracy to breach fiduciary duty, tortious interference with fiduciary relationships, breach of contract, constructive trust, an accounting, dissolution of limited partnerships, access to books and records, and injunctive relief. On September 14, 2005, the Court denied Mr. Trumps motion to enjoin the defendants from disposing of their, or Mr. Trumps, interest in the entities that owned the Rail Yards, and in any contract of sale or the proceeds from such sale. The Court also refused to confirm, and vacated, an attachment order that Mr. Trump had obtained on an ex parte basis when he filed his complaint. In its decision, the Court found statements in an affidavit submitted by Mr. Trump claiming that defendants had sold the Rail Yards at an undervalued price of $1.76 billion to be conclusory. At the same time, the Court found persuasive evidence that $1.76 billion was a realistic and fair price for the Rail Yards. On July 24, 2006, the Court dismissed all of Mr. Trumps claims against the defendants, except for his claim seeking access to books and records, which remains pending. The Court ruled that Mr. Trumps challenge to the sale price of the Rail Yards was a derivative claim, and that Mr. Trump could not pursue that claim, because he had not made the required demand on the general partners or shown that demand was excused. In reaching this conclusion, the Court cited evidence indicating that the Rail Yards were sold for approximately $188 million more than the appraisals of the Rail Yards. Mr. Trump has sought reargument and renewal on, and filed a notice of appeal in connection with, his dismissed claims. Vornado Sub has agreed to indemnify the Sellers for liabilities and expenses arising out of Mr. Trumps claim that the limited partnerships that Vornado Sub is acquiring did not sell the Rail Yards at a fair price or could have sold the Rail Yards for a greater price and any other claims asserted by the plaintiffs in the legal action; provided, however that if Mr. Trump prevails on certain claims involving partnership matters, other than claims relating to sale price, then the Sellers will be required to reimburse Vornado Sub for certain costs related to those claims. On March 16, 2007, the Company issued a press release related to these matters. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein. This excerpt taken from the VNO 8-K filed Nov 27, 2006. Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Amendment to 2002 Omnibus Share Plan
On March 17, 2006, the Board of Trustees (the Board) of Vornado Realty Trust (the Company) approved an amendment to the Vornado Realty Trust 2002 Omnibus Share Plan (the Plan) to permit the Compensation Committee of the Board (the Compensation Committee) to grant awards in the form of limited partnership units (OP Units) of Vornado Realty L.P. (the Operating Partnership), the entity through which the Company conducts substantially all its business. OP Units can be granted either as free-standing awards or in tandem with other awards under the Plan.
OP Unit awards would be valued by reference to the value of shares of the Companys common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.04 per share (Common Shares), and may be subject to such conditions and restrictions as the Compensation Committee may determine, including continued employment or service, computation of financial metrics and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives. If the applicable conditions and/or restrictions are not attained, recipients would forfeit their right to the OP Units and the underlying Common Shares. Unless otherwise permitted by the Compensation Committee, OP Unit awards may not be sold, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or assigned other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution until applicable time and/or performance vesting conditions have been met.
The Compensation Committee shall determine the number of Common Shares available under the Plan underlying an award of OP Units in light of all applicable conditions set forth in the relevant award documentation, including vesting conditions, Operating Partnership capital account allocations, value accretion factors, conversion ratios, exchange ratios and the like. OP Unit awards may entitle the recipient to receive, currently or on a deferred or contingent basis, dividends or dividend equivalent payments with respect to the number of Common Shares underlying the OP Unit award or other distributions from the Operating Partnership, and the Compensation Committee may provide that such amounts (if any) shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Common Shares or OP Units.
Vornado Realty Trust 2006 Outperformance Plan
On March 17, 2006, the Board also approved the general terms of the Vornado Realty Trust 2006 Outperformance Plan (the 2006 Outperformance Plan), a long-term incentive compensation program. The purpose of the 2006 Outperformance Plan is to further align the interests of the Companys shareholders and management by encouraging the Companys senior officers and employees to create shareholder value in a pay for performance structure.
Under the 2006 Outperformance Plan, award recipients will share in a performance pool if the Companys total return to shareholders for the period from March 15, 2006 (measured based on the average closing price of our common shares for the 30 trading days prior to March 15, 2006) through March 14, 2009 exceeds a cumulative total return to shareholders over the three year period of 30%, including both share appreciation and dividends paid. The size of the pool will be 10% of the outperformance return amount in excess of the 30% benchmark, subject to a maximum dilution cap equal to $100 million. As of March 14, 2007 award recipients as a group will have the ability to lock in a portion of the performance pool, up to a maximum of $20 million, based on a minimum total return to shareholders benchmark of 10% for the one year period then ending. As of March 14, 2008 award recipients as a group will have the
2
ability to lock in a portion of the performance pool, up to a cumulative maximum of $40 million, based on a minimum cumulative total return to shareholders benchmark of 20% for the two year period then ending. In the event the potential performance pool reaches the $20 million dilution cap before March 14, 2007, the $40 million dilution cap before March 14, 2008 or the $100 million dilution cap before March 14, 2009 and remains at the applicable level or higher for 30 consecutive days, the applicable performance period will end early and the applicable pool will be established on the last day of such 30 day period.
Each employees award under the 2006 Outperformance Plan will be designated as a specified percentage of the aggregate performance pool, as well as any interim performance pool established in the first two years. Assuming the 10% benchmark is achieved in year one, the 20% benchmark is achieved in year two or the 30% benchmark is achieved for the entire three year period, as applicable, the pool will be allocated among the award recipients in accordance with the percentage specified in each employees award agreement. Although the amount of earned awards under the 2006 Outperformance Plan will be determined at the end of the first, second or third year, as applicable, when the performance pool is established, the awards so earned will vest 33.3% on March 14, 2009 and 33.3% on each of the first two anniversaries thereafter based on continued employment.
Individual awards will be made under the Plan in the form of OP units of a new series denominated OPP Units that, subject to vesting and other conditions, will be exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for Common Shares or cash, at the Companys election. OPP Units will be issued prior to the determination of the performance pool subject to forfeiture to the extent that less than the total award is earned. The 2006 Outperformance Plan provides that if a performance pool is established, each award recipient will be entitled to an amount equal to the distributions that would have been paid on his or her earned OPP Units since the beginning of the performance period, payable in the form of additional OPP Units. OPP Units, both vested and unvested, which award recipients have earned based on the establishment of a performance pool, whether at the end of year one, two or three, will be entitled to receive distributions in an amount per unit equal to the distributions payable on a Common Unit.
All determinations, interpretations and assumptions relating to the vesting and calculation of the performance awards will be made by the Compensation Committee.
The Compensation Committee is in the process of finalizing the 2006 Outperformance Plan documentation. Accordingly, the definitive plan and award documentation, including the terms of the OPP Units, may contain additional material terms that are not described above. The Compensation Committee is also in the process of evaluating the participation percentages to be awarded to different officers and key employees and currently expects that approximately 35 employees will receive awards under the 2006 Outperformance Plan.
