<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We may issue as many distinct series of debt securities as we wish under either indenture. This section of the prospectus summarizes terms
of the debt securities that apply generally to all series. The provisions of each indenture allow us not only to issue debt securities with terms different from those of debt securities previously issued under that indenture, but also to
&#147;reopen&#148; a previous issue of a series of debt securities and issue additional debt securities of that series. We will describe most of the financial and other specific terms of a series, whether it is a series of the senior debt securities
or subordinated debt securities, in the prospectus supplement accompanying this prospectus. If there are any differences between your prospectus supplement and this prospectus, your prospectus supplement will control. Thus, the statements we make in
this section may not apply to your debt security. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">When we refer to a series of debt securities, we mean a series issued under

particular series. We may issue debt securities and other securities up to the aggregate amount authorized by our board of directors for each series, at any time without your consent and without notifying you. </FONT></P>

in which case the principal amount of a debt security is its face amount. Any debt securities owned by us or any of our affiliates are not deemed to be outstanding for certain determinations under the indenture. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The term &#147;stated maturity&#148; with respect to any debt security means the date on which the principal amount of the debt security
is scheduled to become due. The principal may become due sooner, by reason of redemption or acceleration after a default or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the debt security. The date on which the principal actually becomes due, whether at
the stated maturity or earlier, is called the &#147;maturity&#148; of the principal. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We also use the terms &#147;stated
maturity&#148; and &#147;maturity&#148; to refer to the dates when other payments become due. For example, we refer to a regular interest payment date when an installment of interest is scheduled to become due as the &#147;stated maturity&#148; of
that installment. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">When we refer to the &#147;stated maturity&#148; or the &#147;maturity&#148; of a debt security without

interest on fixed rate debt securities on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. We will pay interest on each interest payment date and at maturity as described below under &#147;&#151;Payment Mechanics for Debt Securities.&#148;

period, i.e., the period from and including the original issue date, or the last date to which interest has been paid or made available for payment, to but excluding the payment date. For each interest period, the calculation agent will calculate
the amount of accrued interest by multiplying the face or other specified amount of the floating rate debt security by an accrued interest factor for the interest period. This factor will equal the sum of the interest factors calculated for each day
during the interest period. The interest factor for each day will be expressed as a decimal and will be calculated by dividing the interest rate, also expressed as a decimal, applicable to that day by 360 or by the actual number of days in the year,

instructions to their banks or brokers through which they hold their interests, requesting that they notify the depositary to exercise the repayment right on their behalf. Different firms have different deadlines for accepting instructions from
their customers, and you should take care to act promptly enough to ensure that your request is given effect by the depositary before the applicable deadline for exercise. Street name and other indirect owners should contact their banks or brokers
for information about how to exercise a repayment right in a timely manner. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We or our affiliates may purchase debt securities

senior debt securities and subordinated debt securities. Consequently, if an actual or potential event of default occurs with respect to any of these securities, the trustee may be considered to have a conflicting interest for purposes of the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939. In that case, the trustee may be required to resign under one or more of the indentures, and we would be required to appoint a successor trustee. For this purpose, a &#147;potential&#148; event of default means an event that
would be an event of default if the requirements for giving us default notice or for the default having to exist for a specific period of time were disregarded. </FONT></P>

qualification as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, not more than 50% in value of our outstanding shares of capital stock may be owned, directly or constructively, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of a taxable year,
and the shares of capital stock must be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months, or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year. The Internal Revenue Code defines
&#147;individuals&#148; to include some entities for the purposes of the preceding sentence. All references to a holder&#146;s ownership of preferred stock in this section assumes application of the applicable attribution rules of the Internal

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>The Common Stock Beneficial Ownership Limit</I>. Our certificate of incorporation contains a number of provisions that restrict the ownership and transfer of shares and are designed to safeguard us
against an inadvertent loss of REIT status. These provisions also seek to deter non-negotiated acquisitions of, and proxy fights for, us by third parties. In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, not more
than 50% of the value of our outstanding shares of capital stock may be owned, directly or constructively, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of a taxable year and the shares of capital stock must be beneficially owned by
100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months, or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year. The Internal Revenue Code defines &#147;individuals&#148; to include some entities for purposes of the preceding
sentence. All references to a holder&#146;s ownership of common stock in this section assumes application of the applicable attribution rules of the Internal Revenue Code under which, for example, a holder is deemed to own shares owned by his or her
spouse. </FONT></P>

owning more than 4.9% of the outstanding shares of common stock. In certain circumstances, our board of directors may reduce the common stock beneficial ownership limit to as little as 2%, but only if any person who owns shares in excess of such new
limit could continue to do so. Our board of directors has, subject to certain conditions and limitations, exempted our manager, Vornado Realty Trust, and certain of its affiliates from the common stock beneficial ownership limit. As a result, it is
less likely as a practical matter that another holder of common stock could obtain an exemption. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Attribution Rules</I>.
Investors should be aware that under the applicable attribution rules of the Internal Revenue Code, events other than a purchase or other transfer of common stock can result in ownership of common stock in excess of the common stock beneficial
ownership limit. For instance, if two stockholders, each of whom owns 3% of the outstanding common stock, were to marry, then after their marriage both stockholders would be deemed to own 6% of the outstanding shares of common stock, which is in
excess of the common stock beneficial ownership limit. Similarly, if a stockholder who owns 4% of the outstanding common stock were to purchase a 50% interest in a corporation which owns 3% of the outstanding common stock, then the stockholder would
be deemed to own 5.5% of the outstanding shares of common stock. You should consult your own tax advisors concerning the application of the attribution rules of the Internal Revenue Code in your particular circumstances. </FONT></P>

which the REIT is treated, under the applicable attribution rules of the Internal Revenue Code, as owning a 10% or greater interest does not constitute qualifying income for purposes of the income requirements that REITs must satisfy. For these
purposes, a REIT is treated as owning any stock owned, under the applicable attribution rules of the Internal Revenue Code, by a person that owns 10% or more of the value of the outstanding shares of the REIT. The attribution rules of the Internal
Revenue Code applicable for these purposes are different from those applicable with respect to the common stock beneficial ownership limit. All references to a stockholder&#146;s ownership of common stock in this section assume application of the
applicable attribution rules of the Internal Revenue Code. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In order to ensure that our rental income will not be treated as
nonqualifying income under the rule described in the preceding paragraph, and thus to ensure that we will not inadvertently lose our REIT status as a result of the ownership of shares of a tenant, or a person that holds an interest in a tenant, our
certificate of incorporation contains an ownership limit that restricts, with certain exceptions, stockholders from owning more than 9.9% of the outstanding shares of any class (the &#147;common stock beneficial ownership limit&#148;). </FONT></P>

attribution rules of the Internal Revenue Code, of shares in excess of the constructive ownership limit. As the attribution rules that apply with respect to the constructive ownership limit differ from those that apply with respect to the common
stock beneficial ownership limit, the events other than a purchase or other transfer of shares which can result in share ownership in excess of the constructive ownership limit can differ from those which can result in share ownership in excess of

would cause the shares of capital stock of Alexander&#146;s to be beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons, would have no effect and the purported transferee would acquire no rights or economic interest in such common stock. In addition, common

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In this section, we describe special considerations that will apply to registered securities issued in global, i.e., book-entry form.
First we describe the difference between legal ownership and indirect ownership of registered securities. Then we describe special provisions that apply to global securities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

of common or preferred stock and depositary share in registered form will be represented either by a certificate issued in definitive form to a particular investor or by one or more global securities representing the entire issuance of securities.
We refer to those who have securities registered in their own names, on the books that we or the trustee or other agent maintain for this purpose, as the &#147;holders&#148; of those securities. These persons are the legal holders of the securities.
We refer to those who, indirectly through others, own beneficial interests in securities that are not registered in their own names as indirect owners of those securities. As we discuss below, indirect owners are not legal holders, and investors in
securities issued in book-entry form or in street name will be indirect owners. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>BOOK-ENTRY OWNERS </B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We expect to issue debt securities, shares of preferred stock and depositary shares in book-entry form only. However, we may issue shares
of common stock in book-entry form. This means those securities will be represented by one or more global securities registered in the name of a financial institution that holds them as depositary on behalf of other financial institutions that
participate in the depositary&#146;s book-entry system. These participating institutions, in turn, hold beneficial interests in the securities on behalf of themselves or their customers. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under each indenture or other applicable agreement, only the person in whose name a security is registered is recognized as the holder of
that security. Consequently, for securities issued in global form, we will recognize only the depositary as the holder of the securities and we will make all payments on the securities, including deliveries of shares of common or preferred stock in
exchange for exchangeable debt securities, to the depositary. The depositary passes along the payments it receives to its participants, which in turn pass the payments along to their customers who are the beneficial owners. The depositary and its
participants do so under agreements they have made with one another or with their customers; they are not obligated to do so under the terms of the securities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As a result, investors will not own securities directly. Instead, they will own beneficial interests in a global security, through a bank, broker or other financial institution that participates in the
depositary&#146;s book-entry system or holds an interest through a participant. As long as the securities are issued in global form, investors will be indirect owners, and not holders, of the securities. </FONT></P>

the future we may terminate a global security or issue securities initially in non-global form. In these cases, investors may choose to hold their securities in their own names or in street name. Securities held by an investor in street name would
be registered in the name of a bank, broker or other financial institution that the investor chooses, and the investor would hold only a beneficial interest in those securities through an account he or she maintains at that institution. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">For securities held in street name, we will recognize only the intermediary banks, brokers and other financial institutions in whose

us of the consequences of a default or of our obligation to comply with a particular provision of an indenture, we would seek the approval only from the holders, and not the indirect owners, of the relevant securities. Whether and how the holders

subsidiary is any corporation in which a REIT directly or indirectly owns stock, provided that the REIT and that corporation make a joint election to treat that corporation as a taxable REIT subsidiary. The election can be revoked at any time as
long as the REIT and the taxable REIT subsidiary revoke such election jointly. In addition, if a taxable REIT subsidiary holds, directly or indirectly, more than 35% of the securities of any other corporation other than a REIT (by vote or by value),
then that other corporation is also treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary. A corporation can be a taxable REIT subsidiary with respect to more than one REIT. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

its qualification as a REIT notwithstanding the rule described below under &#147;&#151;Asset Tests&#148; that generally precludes ownership of more than 10% of any issuer&#146;s securities. However, as noted below, in order for Alexander&#146;s,

Individual U.S. shareholders will generally not be entitled to the lower tax rate applicable to certain types of dividends except with respect to the portion of any distribution (a)&nbsp;that represents income from dividends Alexander&#146;s, Inc.

impact of tax rates on dividends received from Alexander&#146;s, Inc. Distributions of this kind will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction in the case of U.S. stockholders that are corporations. Distributions made by
Alexander&#146;s, Inc. that Alexander&#146;s, Inc. properly designates as capital gain dividends will be taxable to U.S. stockholders as gain from the sale of a capital asset held for more than one year, to the extent that they do not exceed
Alexander&#146;s, Inc.&#146;s actual net capital gain for the taxable year, without regard to the period for which a U.S. stockholder has held his shares. Thus, with certain limitations, capital gain dividends received by an individual U.S.

purposes by the amount of the distribution, but not below zero. Distributions in excess of a U.S. shareholder&#146;s adjusted basis in his shares will be taxable as capital gains, provided that the shares have been held as a capital asset. For

or trusts that in either case are not subject to United States Federal income tax on a net income basis who own common stock or preferred stock, which we call &#147;non-U.S. stockholders,&#148; are complex. The following discussion is only a limited
summary of these rules. Prospective non-U.S. stockholders should consult with their own tax advisors to determine the impact of U.S. Federal, state and local income tax laws with regard to an investment in common stock or preferred stock, including
any reporting requirements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">ORDINARY DIVIDENDS. Distributions, other than distributions that are treated as attributable to
gain from sales or exchanges by Alexander&#146;s, Inc. of U.S. real property interests, as discussed below, and other than distributions designated by Alexander&#146;s, Inc. as capital gain dividends, will be treated as ordinary income to the extent
that they are made out of current or accumulated earnings and profits of Alexander&#146;s, Inc. A withholding tax equal to 30% of the gross amount of the distribution will ordinarily apply to distributions of this kind to non-U.S. stockholders,
unless an applicable tax treaty reduces that tax. However, if income from the investment in the shares is treated as effectively connected with the non-U.S. stockholder&#146;s conduct of a U.S. trade or business or is attributable to a permanent
establishment that the non-U.S. stockholder maintains in the United States if that is required by an applicable income tax treaty as a condition for subjecting the non-U.S. stockholder to U.S. taxation on a net income basis, tax at graduated rates
generally will apply to the non- U.S. stockholder in the same manner as U.S. stockholders are taxed with respect to dividends, and the 30% branch profits tax also may apply if the stockholder is a foreign corporation. Alexander&#146;s, Inc. expects
to withhold U.S. tax at the rate of 30% on the gross amount of any dividends, other than dividends treated as attributable to gain from sales or exchanges of U.S. real property interests and capital gain dividends, paid to a non-U.S. stockholder,
unless (a)&nbsp;a lower treaty rate applies and the required form evidencing eligibility for that reduced rate is filed with Alexander&#146;s, Inc. or the appropriate withholding agent or (b)&nbsp;the non-U.S. stockholder files an IRS Form&nbsp;W-8
ECI or a successor form with Alexander&#146;s, Inc. or the appropriate withholding agent claiming that the distributions are effectively connected with the non-U.S. stockholder&#146;s conduct of a U.S. trade or business and, in either case, other

the adjusted basis of the non-U.S. stockholder&#146;s shares. Distributions of this kind instead will reduce the adjusted basis of the shares. To the extent that distributions of this kind exceed the adjusted basis of a non-U.S. stockholder&#146;s
shares, they will give rise to tax liability if the non-U.S. stockholder otherwise would have to pay tax on any gain from the sale or disposition of its shares, as described below. If it cannot be determined at the time a distribution is made
whether the distribution will be in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, withholding will apply to the distribution at the rate applicable to dividends. However, the non-U.S. stockholder may seek a refund of these amounts from the

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Distributions that are not described in the preceding paragraph that are attributable to
gain from sales or exchanges by Alexander&#146;s, Inc. of U.S. real property interests will be taxed to a non-U.S. stockholder under the provisions of the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980, as amended. Under this statute, these
distributions are taxed to a non-U.S. stockholder as if the gain were effectively connected with a U.S. business. Thus, non-U.S. stockholders will be taxed on the distributions at the normal capital gain rates applicable to U.S. stockholders,
subject to any applicable alternative minimum tax and special alternative minimum tax in the case of individuals. Alexander&#146;s, Inc. is required by applicable Treasury regulations under this statute to withhold 35% of any distribution that
Alexander&#146;s, Inc. could designate as a capital gain dividend. However, if Alexander&#146;s, Inc. designates as a capital gain dividend a distribution made before the day Alexander&#146;s, Inc. actually effects the designation, then although the
distribution may be taxable to a non-U.S. stockholder, withholding does not apply to the distribution under this statute. Rather, Alexander&#146;s, Inc. must effect the 35% withholding from distributions made on and after the date of the
designation, until the distributions so withheld equal the amount of the prior distribution designated as a capital gain dividend. The non-U.S. stockholder may credit the amount withheld against its U.S. tax liability. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">STOCK DISTRIBUTIONS. Alexander&#146;s, Inc. may in the future make distributions to holders of its common stock that are paid in common
stock. These distributions are intended to be treated as dividends for U.S. Federal income tax purposes and, accordingly, would be treated in a manner consistent with the discussion above under &#147;Ordinary Dividends&#148; and &#147;Capital Gains
Dividends.&#148; If Alexander&#146;s, Inc. is required to withhold an amount in excess of any cash distributed along with the common stock, Alexander&#146;s, Inc. will retain and sell some of the common stock that would otherwise be distributed in
order to satisfy its withholding obligations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">SALES OF SHARES. Gain recognized by a non-U.S. stockholder upon a sale or
exchange of common stock generally will not be taxed under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act if Alexander&#146;s, Inc. is a &#147;domestically controlled REIT,&#148; defined generally as a REIT, less than 50% in value of whose stock is
and was held directly or indirectly by foreign persons at all times during a specified testing period. Alexander&#146;s, Inc. believes that it is and will continue to be a domestically controlled REIT, and, therefore, that taxation under this
statute generally will not apply to the sale of Alexander&#146;s, Inc. shares. However, gain to which this statute does not apply will be taxable to a non-U.S. stockholder if investment in the shares is treated as effectively connected with the
non-U.S. stockholder&#146;s U.S. trade or business or is attributable to a permanent establishment that the non-U.S. stockholder maintains in the United States if that is required by an applicable income tax treaty as a condition for subjecting the
non-U.S. stockholder to U.S. taxation on a net income basis. In this case, the same treatment will apply to the non-U.S. stockholder as to U.S. stockholders with respect to the gain. In addition, gain to which the Foreign Investment in Real Property
Tax Act does not apply will be taxable to a non-U.S. stockholder if the non-U.S. stockholder is a nonresident alien individual who was present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year and has a &#147;tax home&#148; in the
United States, or maintains an office or a fixed place of business in the United States to which the gain is attributable. In this case, a 30% tax will apply to the nonresident alien individual&#146;s capital gains. A similar Rule will apply to
capital gain dividends to which this statute does not apply. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">If Alexander&#146;s, Inc. was not a domestically controlled
REIT, tax under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act would apply to a non-U.S. stockholder&#146;s sale of shares only if the selling non-U.S. stockholder owned more than 5% of the class of shares sold at any time during a specified
period. This period is generally the shorter of the period that the non-U.S. stockholder owned the shares sold or the five-year period ending on the date when the stockholder disposed of the shares. A non-U.S. stockholder that holds a class of
Alexander&#146;s, Inc&#146;s shares that is not traded on an established securities market will only be subject to FIRPTA in respect of a sale of such shares if on the date the stock was acquired by the stockholder it had a fair market value greater
than the fair market value on that date of 5% of the regularly traded class of Alexander&#146;s, Inc&#146;s outstanding shares with the lowest fair market value. If a non-U.S. stockholder holds a class of Alexander&#146;s, Inc&#146;s shares that is
not regularly traded on an established securities market, and subsequently acquires additional interests of the same class, then all such interests must be aggregated and valued as of the date of the subsequent acquisition for purposes of the 5%

(&#147;Alexander&#146;s&#148;), on April 9, 2012, of a registration statement on Form S-3 (the &#147;Registration Statement&#148;) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;Commission&#148;) relating to the offering from time to time,
pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;), of (i)&nbsp;debt securities of Alexander&#146;s, (ii)&nbsp;warrants to purchase debt securities of Alexander&#146;s, (iii)&nbsp;shares of preferred

&#147;Registration&#148;), you have requested our opinion with regard to the election by Alexander&#146;s to be treated for Federal income tax purposes as a real estate investment trust (a &#147;REIT&#148;), within the meaning of section 856(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;Code&#148;). We understand that Alexander&#146;s has elected to be treated as a REIT initially for its taxable year ended December&nbsp;31, 1995, and intends to continue to be so treated for
subsequent taxable years. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In rendering this opinion, we have relied as to certain factual matters upon the statements and
representations contained in the certificate provided to us by Alexander&#146;s (the &#147;Alexander&#146;s Certificate&#148;) dated April 9, 2012. We have assumed that the statements made in the Alexander&#146;s Certificate are true and correct and
that the Alexander&#146;s Certificate has been executed by appropriate and authorized officers of Alexander&#146;s. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In

which election has not been, and will not be, revoked or terminated. </FONT></P>

during the second half of every taxable year following the taxable year ended December&nbsp;31, 1995. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">(d)
Alexander&#146;s and its subsidiaries (the &#147;Company&#148;) will not receive or accrue (and since January&nbsp;1, 1995, has not received or accrued) any amount that would constitute &#147;rents from real property&#148; (within the meaning of
section 856(d)(1) of the Code without regard to section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code) from (i)&nbsp;any corporation in which it owns (or since July&nbsp;1, 1994, has owned) (a)&nbsp;10 percent or more of the total combined voting power of all shares of
stock entitled to vote, (b)&nbsp;10 percent or more of the total number of shares of all classes of stock of such corporation or (c)&nbsp;10 percent or more of the total value of shares of all classes of stock, or (ii)&nbsp;any unincorporated entity

the relevant REIT income tests set forth in Section&nbsp;856(c)(2) and Section&nbsp;856(c)(3) of the Code. For purposes of this assumption, ownership is determined in accordance with section 856(d)(5) of the Code. </FONT></P>

Alexander&#146;s had a deficit in earnings and profits (as defined in the Code) in excess of its accumulated earnings and profits (if any) as of the close of its taxable year ended December&nbsp;31, 1994. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Based on the foregoing and in reliance thereon and subject thereto and on an analysis of the Code, Treasury Regulations thereunder,
judicial authority and current administrative rulings and such other laws and facts as we have deemed relevant and necessary, we are of the opinion that commencing with its taxable year ended December&nbsp;31, 1995, Alexander&#146;s has been
organized and operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code, and its proposed method of operation will enable it to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT
under the Code. </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Qualification of Alexander&#146;s as a REIT will depend upon the satisfaction by the Company
through actual operating results, distribution levels, diversity of stock ownership and otherwise, of the applicable asset composition, source of income, shareholder diversification, distribution, recordkeeping and other requirements of the Code
necessary for a corporation to qualify as a REIT. No assurance can be given that the actual results of the Company&#146;s operations for any one taxable year will satisfy all such requirements. We do not undertake to monitor whether the Company
actually has satisfied or actually will satisfy the various qualification tests, and we express no opinion whether the Company actually has satisfied or actually will satisfy these various qualification tests. </FONT></P>
