        The exact share prices and effective dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the total number of Vornado common shares issuable upon conversion exceed 8.0019 per $1,000 principal amount of notes, subject to adjustments in the same manner as the conversion rate as set forth under " — Conversion Rate Adjustments."

        If certain transactions that constitute a change in control occur on or prior to April 5, 2012, under certain circumstances, we will increase the conversion rate by a number of additional common shares for any conversion of debentures in connection with such transactions. If we undergo certain change in control transactions prior to April 1, 2012, you will have the option to require us to repurchase all of your debentures not previously called for redemption, or any portion thereof, for cash at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the debentures, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
