Item 1.01Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 20, 2006 Vornado Realty Trust (the “Company”) and Vornado Realty L.P., as Guarantor (the “Guarantor), entered into a Senior Indenture (the “Indenture”) with The Bank of New York, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), in connection with the public offering and sale by the Company of $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 3.625% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2026 (the “Debentures”).  The Debentures are an unsecured and unsubordinated obligation of the Company and rank equally with all of the unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company.  The Debentures are unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor with respect to the punctual payment of the principal, premium and any interest on the Debentures in the event the Company fails to make such payments.  The guarantee is an unsecured and unsubordinated obligation of the Guarantor and ranks equally with all of the unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Guarantor.  The Debentures are convertible into common shares of the Company under the circumstances described in the prospectus supplement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 17, 2006.

A copy of the Indenture is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Form 8-K and is herein incorporated by reference. A copy of the Debenture is filed as Exhibit 4.2 to this Form 8-K and is herein incorporated by reference.  A copy of the Guarantee is filed as Exhibit 4.3 to this Form 8-K and is herein incorporated by reference. A copy of an excerpt from the Company’s officers’ certificate forming a part of the Indenture and setting forth additional terms of the Debentures is filed as Exhibit 4.4 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03.  Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant (Vornado Realty L.P. only).

On November 20, 2006, the Company transferred the net proceeds from the sale of the Debentures to the Guarantor in return for a debenture (the “Private Debenture”) issued by the Guarantor to the Company in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof. The aggregate principal amount of the Private Debenture is $1,000,000,000, the Private Debenture bears interest at 3.625% per annum and it has a stated maturity date of November 15, 2026. In certain circumstances the Company will be entitled to a number of Class A Units of limited partnership interest of the Guarantor, or the cash value of such Units, upon tendering the Private Debenture to the Guarantor. The Guarantor may in certain circumstances deliver to the Company its Class A Units of limited partnership interest in satisfaction of its obligation under the Private Debenture.
