Notes called for prepayment will become due on the date fixed for prepayment.

The notice will state the principal amount to be prepaid. On and after the date fixed for prepayment, interest will cease to accrue on any prepaid notes.

Independent Investment Banker means either of Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated or Banc of America Securities LLC, or, if each such firm is unwilling or unable to select the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, a leading independent investment banking institution appointed by the trustee and reasonably acceptable to the Operating Partnership. |
Reference Treasury Dealer means Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, Banc of America Securities LLC, and two other primary U.S. government securities dealers in New York City selected by the Independent Investment Banker (each, a Primary Treasury Dealer); provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Operating Partnership will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer. |

Treasury Yield means, with respect to any date fixed for the prepayment of notes, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity (computed as of the third business day immediately preceding such date) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the applicable Comparable Treasury Price for such date. |
