EXPLANATORY NOTE
We are filing this Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 (the “10-K”) to correct the signature line of the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP set forth on page 66 of the 10-K (the “Report”). The Report had been signed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, but the conformed signature line was inadvertently omitted from the Report when the 10-K was filed.
This Amendment No. 1 to the 10-K amends Part II, Item 8 of the 10-K with respect to the financial statements listed in Part IV, Item 15(a)(1) and Item 15(a)(2)(i) of the 10-K to file the Report with the conformed signature of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP together with our financial statements previously filed with the 10-K. Other than adding the conformed signature line to the Report, we have made no other changes to Item 8 with respect to the financial statements listed in Item 15(a)(1) and Item 15(a)(2)(i).
Except as described above, this Amendment No. 1 to the 10-K does not amend any other information set forth in the 10-K, and we have not updated disclosures contained therein to reflect any events that may have occurred at a date subsequent to the date of the 10-K.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation:
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2)(i) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

MACK-CALI REALTY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.
|
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
|
ORGANIZATION
Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), is a fully-integrated, self-administered, self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) providing leasing, management, acquisition, development, construction and tenant-related services for its properties and third parties. As of December 31, 2010, the Company owned or had interests in 277 properties plus developable land (collectively, the “Properties”). The Properties aggregate approximately 32.2 million square feet, which are comprised of 265 buildings, primarily office and office/flex buildings totaling approximately 31.8 million square feet (which include eight buildings, primarily office buildings aggregating approximately 1.2 million square feet owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has investment interests), six industrial/warehouse buildings totaling approximately 387,400 square feet, two retail properties totaling approximately 17,300 square feet, one hotel (which is owned by an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Company has an investment interest) and three parcels of land leased to others. The Properties are located in five states, primarily in the Northeast, plus the District of Columbia.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company, its majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries, which consist principally of Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), and variable interest entities for which the Company has determined itself to be the primary beneficiary, if any. See Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies – Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures for the Company’s treatment of unconsolidated joint venture interests. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company evaluated subsequent events through February 8, 2011, the date these financial statements were available to be issued. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in order to conform with current period presentation.
On July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, also known as FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10, General Accepted Accounting Principles, (“ASC 105-10”). ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) as the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. Following the Codification, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates, which will serve to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the basis for conclusions on the changes to the Codification. GAAP was not intended to be changed as a result of the FASB’s Codification project, but it will change the way the guidance is organized and presented. The Company has implemented the Codification in this annual report by providing references to the Codification topics, as appropriate.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Rental
Property
|
Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs directly related to the acquisition, development and construction of rental properties are capitalized. Pursuant to the Company’s adoption of ASC 805, Business Combinations, effective January 1, 2009, acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalized development and construction costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development and construction costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, salaries and other project costs incurred during the period of development. Included in total rental property is construction, tenant improvement and development in-progress of $65,990,000 and $107,226,000 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Fully-depreciated assets are removed from the accounts.
|
The Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity (as distinguished from activities such as routine maintenance and cleanup). If portions of a rental project are substantially completed and occupied by tenants, or held available for occupancy, and other portions have not yet reached that stage, the substantially completed portions are accounted for as a separate project. The Company allocates costs incurred between the portions under construction and the portions substantially completed and held available for occupancy, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portion under construction.
Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Leasehold interests
|
Remaining lease term
|
Buildings and improvements
|
5 to 40 years
|
Tenant improvements
|
The shorter of the term of the
|
|
related lease or useful life
|
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
|
5 to 10 years
|
Upon acquisition of rental property, the Company estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities assumed, generally consisting of the fair value of (i) above and below market leases, (ii) in-place leases and (iii) tenant relationships. The Company allocates the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values. The Company records goodwill or a gain on bargain purchase (if any) if the net assets acquired/liabilities assumed exceed the purchase consideration of a transaction. In estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the Company considers information obtained about each property as a result of its due diligence and marketing and leasing activities, and utilizes various valuation methods, such as estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates, estimates of replacement costs net of depreciation, and available market information. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.
Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value, (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases.
Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values and tenant relationship values, which are based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. Factors to be considered by management in its analysis of in-place lease values include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, management considers leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. Characteristics considered by management in valuing tenant relationships include the nature and extent of the Company’s existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals. The value of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases. The value of tenant relationship intangibles are amortized to expense over the anticipated life of the relationships.
On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s rental properties held for use may be impaired. In addition to identifying any specific circumstances which may affect a property or properties, management considers other criteria for determining which properties may require assessment for potential impairment. The criteria considered by management include reviewing low leased percentages, significant near-term lease expirations, recently acquired properties, current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, near-term mortgage debt maturities or other factors that might impact the Company’s intent and ability to hold the property. A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property. The Company’s estimates of aggregate future cash flows expected to be generated by each property are based on a number of assumptions. These assumptions are generally based on management’s experience in its local real estate markets and the effects of current market conditions. The assumptions are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and costs to operate each property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be achieved, and actual losses or impairment may be realized in the future.
Operations
|
When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets. If, in management’s opinion, the estimated net sales price of the assets which have been identified as held for sale is less than the net book value of the assets, a valuation allowance is established. Properties identified as held for sale and/or disposed of are presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 7: Discontinued Operations.
|
If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, the Company decides not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, the property is reclassified as held and used. A property that is reclassified is measured and recorded individually at the lower of (a) its carrying amount before the property was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation (amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used, or (b) the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.
Investments in
Unconsolidated
Joint Ventures
|
The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. The Company applies the equity method by initially recording these investments at cost, as Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions.
|
|
ASC 810, Consolidation, provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”) and the determination of which business enterprise, if any, should consolidate the VIE (the “primary beneficiary”). Generally, the consideration of whether an entity is a VIE applies when either (1) the equity investors (if any) lack one or more of the essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest, (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest.
|
|
On January 1, 2010, the Company adopted the updated provisions of ASC 810, pursuant to FASB No. 167, which amends FIN 46(R) to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. Additionally, FASB No. 167 amends FIN 46(R) to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, which was based on determining which enterprise absorbs the majority of the entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both. FASB No. 167 amends certain guidance in Interpretation 46(R) for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity. Also, FASB No. 167 amends FIN 46(R) to require enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. The enhanced disclosures are required for any enterprise that holds a variable interest in a variable interest entity. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact to these financial statements. See Note 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures for disclosures regarding the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures.
|
On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the value of the investment. The Company’s estimates of value for each investment (particularly in commercial real estate joint ventures) are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and operating costs. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the values estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be realized, and actual losses or impairment may be realized in the future. See Note 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.
Equivalents
|
All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.
|
Marketable
Securities
|
The Company classifies its marketable securities among three categories: held-to-maturity, trading and available-for-sale. Unrealized holding gains and losses relating to available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported as other comprehensive income (loss) in equity until realized. A decline in the market value of any held-to-maturity marketable security below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary results in a reduction in the carrying amount to fair value. Any impairment would be charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security established.
|
The fair value of the marketable securities is determined using level I inputs under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Level I inputs represent quoted prices available in an active market for identical investments as of the reporting date.
The Company received approximately $65,000 in dividend income from its holdings in marketable securities during the year ended December 31, 2008. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company disposed of its marketable securities for aggregate net proceeds of $5.4 million and realized a gain of $471,000.
Deferred
Financing Costs
|
Costs incurred in obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related indebtedness. Amortization of such costs is included in interest expense and was $2,656,000, $2,730,000 and $2,873,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
|
Deferred
Leasing Costs
|
Costs incurred in connection with leases are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases and included in depreciation and amortization. Unamortized deferred leasing costs are charged to amortization expense upon early termination of the lease. Certain employees of the Company are compensated for providing leasing services to the Properties. The portion of such compensation, which is capitalized and amortized, approximated $3,986,000, $3,725,000 and $3,690,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
|
Derivative
Instruments
|
The Company measures derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, at fair value and records them as an asset or liability, depending on the Company’s rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. For derivatives designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recorded in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging and ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in earnings in the affected period.
|
Revenue
Recognition
|
Base rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Unbilled rents receivable represents the amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with the lease agreements. Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining terms of the lease for above-market leases and the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values for acquired properties are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining terms of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options of the respective leases. Escalations and recoveries from tenants are received from tenants for certain costs as provided in the lease agreements. These costs generally include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance and other recoverable costs. See Note 14: Tenant Leases. Construction services revenue includes fees earned and reimbursements received by the Company for providing construction management and general contractor services to clients. Construction services revenue is recognized on the percentage of completion method. Using this method, profits are recorded on the basis of estimates of the overall profit and percentage of completion of individual contracts. A portion of the estimated profits is accrued based upon estimates of the percentage of completion of the construction contract. This revenue recognition method involves inherent risks relating to profit and cost estimates. Real estate services revenue includes property management, facilities management, leasing commission fees and other services, and payroll and related costs reimbursed from clients. Other income includes income from parking spaces leased to tenants, income from tenants for additional services arranged for by the Company and income from tenants for early lease terminations.
|
Allowance for
Doubtful Accounts
|
Management periodically performs a detailed review of amounts due from tenants to determine if accounts receivable balances are impaired based on factors affecting the collectability of those balances. Management’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts requires management to exercise significant judgment about the timing, frequency and severity of collection losses, which affects the allowance and net income.
|
Income and
Other Taxes
|
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to corporate federal income tax (including alternative minimum tax) on net income that it currently distributes to its shareholders, provided that the Company satisfies certain organizational and operational requirements including the requirement to distribute at least 90 percent of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders. The Company has elected to treat certain of its corporate subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (each a “TRS”). In general, a TRS of the Company may perform additional services for tenants of the Company and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business (except for the operation or management of health care facilities or lodging facilities or the providing to any person, under a franchise, license or otherwise, rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated). A TRS is subject to corporate federal income tax. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. The Company is subject to certain state and local taxes.
|
Pursuant to the amended provisions related to uncertain tax provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company recognized no material adjustments regarding its tax accounting treatment. The Company expects to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as income tax expense, which is included in general and administrative expense.
In the normal course of business, the Company or one of its subsidiaries is subject to examination by federal, state and local jurisdictions in which it operates, where applicable. As of December 31, 2010, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations are generally from the year 2006 forward.
Per Share
|
The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower EPS amount.
|
Distributions
Payable
|
The dividends and distributions payable at December 31, 2010 represents dividends payable to preferred shareholders (10,000 shares) and common shareholders (79,605,542 shares), and distributions payable to noncontrolling interest common unitholders of the Operating Partnership (13,007,668 common units) for all such holders of record as of January 5, 2011 with respect to the fourth quarter 2010. The fourth quarter 2010 preferred stock dividends of $50.00 per share, common stock dividends and common unit distributions of $0.45 per common share and unit were approved by the Board of Directors on December 7, 2010. The common stock dividends, common unit distributions and preferred stock dividends payable were paid on January 14, 2011.
|
The dividends and distributions payable at December 31, 2009 represents dividends payable to preferred shareholders (10,000 shares) and common shareholders (78,969,858 shares), and distributions payable to noncontrolling interest common unitholders of the Operating Partnership (13,495,036 common units) for all such holders of record as of January 6, 2010 with respect to the fourth quarter 2009. The fourth quarter 2009 preferred stock dividends of $50.00 per share, common stock dividends and common unit distributions of $0.45 per common share and unit were approved by the Board of Directors on December 8, 2009. The common stock dividends, common unit distributions and preferred stock dividends payable were paid on January 15, 2010.
The Company has determined that the $1.80 dividend per common share paid during the year ended December 31, 2010 represented approximately 75 percent ordinary income and approximately 25 percent return of capital to its stockholders; the $1.99 dividend per common share paid during the year ended December 31, 2009 represented approximately 93 percent ordinary income and approximately 7 percent return of capital to its stockholders; and the $2.56 dividend per common share paid during the year ended December 31, 2008 represented approximately 81 percent ordinary income, approximately 18 percent return of capital and approximately one percent capital gain to its stockholders.
Issuances
|
Costs incurred in connection with the Company’s stock issuances are reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.
|
Compensation
|
The Company accounts for stock options and restricted stock awards granted prior to 2002 using the intrinsic value method prescribed in the previously existing accounting guidance on accounting for stock issued to employees. Under this guidance, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant over the exercise price of the option granted. Compensation cost for stock options is recognized ratably over the vesting period. The Company’s policy is to grant options with an exercise price equal to the quoted closing market price of the Company’s stock on the business day preceding the grant date. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized under the Company’s stock option plans for the granting of stock options made prior to 2002. Restricted stock awards granted prior to 2002 are valued at the vesting dates of such awards with compensation cost for such awards recognized ratably over the vesting period.
|
In 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. In 2006, the Company adopted the amended guidance, which did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. These provisions require that the estimated fair value of restricted stock (“Restricted Stock Awards”) and stock options at the grant date be amortized ratably into expense over the appropriate vesting period. The Company recorded restricted stock expense of $4,121,000, $4,097,000 and $4,870,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Income
|
Other comprehensive income (loss) includes items that are recorded in equity, such as unrealized holding gains or losses on marketable securities available for sale.

REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS
|
On December 17, 2010, the Company repaid a $26.8 million mortgage loan which encumbered One Grande Commons, a 198,376 square foot unconsolidated joint venture office property located in Bridgewater, New Jersey. Concurrent with the repayment, the Company placed an $11 million mortgage financing on the property obtained from a bank. As a result of the repayment of the existing mortgage loan, the Company obtained a controlling interest and is consolidating the office property. The new mortgage loan bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points and matures on December 31, 2011, with three one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions and payment of a fee.
The Company’s office property located at 105 Challenger Road in Ridgefield Park, New Jersey, aggregating 150,050 square feet, was collateral for a $19.5 million mortgage loan scheduled to mature on June 6, 2010. The Company had recorded an impairment charge on the property of $16.6 million at December 31, 2009. On June 1, 2010, the Company transferred the deed for 105 Challenger to the lender in satisfaction of its obligations. As a result, the Company recorded a gain on the disposal of the office property of approximately $4.4 million. See Note 7: Discontinued Operations.
The Company’s office property located at 2200 Renaissance Boulevard in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, aggregating 174,124 square feet, is collateral for a mortgage loan scheduled to mature on December 1, 2012 with a balance of $16.2 million at December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2010, the Company estimated that the carrying value of the property may not be recoverable over its anticipated holding period. In order to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair market value of approximately $13.4 million, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $9.5 million at December 31, 2010. The estimated fair value was estimated on a Level 3 basis (as provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures) based on discounting the aggregate future cash flows of the property including reversion at a specific yield. The discounted cash flow model incorporates expected timing and level of cash flows and key inputs and assumptions including rental income and expense amounts, related rental income and expense growth rates, the discount rate and capitalization rate.

INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES
|
The debt of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures generally is non-recourse to the Company, except for customary exceptions pertaining to such matters as intentional misuse of funds, environmental conditions and material misrepresentations, and except as otherwise indicated below.
PLAZA VIII AND IX ASSOCIATES, L.L.C.
Plaza VIII and IX Associates, L.L.C. is a joint venture between the Company and Columbia Development Company, L.L.C. (“Columbia”), which owns land for future development, located on the Hudson River waterfront in Jersey City, New Jersey, adjacent to the Company’s Harborside Financial Center office complex. The Company and Columbia each hold a 50 percent interest in the venture. The venture owns undeveloped land currently used as a parking facility.
SOUTH PIER AT HARBORSIDE – HOTEL
The Company has a joint venture with Hyatt Corporation (“Hyatt”) which owns a 350-room hotel on the South Pier at Harborside Financial Center, Jersey City, New Jersey. The Company owns a 50 percent interest in the venture.
The venture has a mortgage loan with a balance as of December 31, 2010 of $66.0 million collateralized by the hotel property. The loan carries an interest rate of 6.15 percent and matures in November 2016. The venture has a loan with a balance as of December 31, 2010 of $5.9 million with the City of Jersey City, provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The loan currently bears interest at fixed rates ranging from 6.09 percent to 6.62 percent and matures in August 2020. The Company has posted a $5.9 million letter of credit in support of this loan, half of which is indemnified by Hyatt.
RED BANK CORPORATE PLAZA
The Company has a joint venture with The PRC Group, which owns Red Bank Corporate Plaza, a 92,878 square foot office building located in Red Bank, New Jersey. The property is fully leased to Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. through September 30, 2017. The Company holds a 50 percent interest in the venture.
The venture has a loan with a commercial bank collateralized by the office property, which carries a balance as of December 31, 2010 of $20.4 million, bears interest at a rate of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 125 basis points and matures in April 2011. LIBOR was 0.26 percent at December 31, 2010. On January 26, 2010, the venture sold a vacant land parcel it had owned for approximately $1.7 million.
The Company performs management, leasing and other services for the property owned by the joint venture and recognized $91,000, $92,600 and $128,000 in fees for such services for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
MACK-GREEN-GALE LLC/GRAMERCY AGREEMENT
On May 9, 2006, the Company entered into a joint venture, Mack-Green-Gale LLC and subsidiaries (“Mack-Green”), with SL Green, pursuant to which Mack-Green held an approximate 96 percent interest in and acted as general partner of Gale SLG NJ Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “OPLP”). The Company’s acquisition cost for its interest in Mack-Green was approximately $125 million, which was funded primarily through borrowing under the Company’s revolving credit facility. At the time, the OPLP owned 100 percent of entities (“Property Entities”) which owned 25 office properties (the “OPLP Properties”) which aggregated 3.5 million square feet (consisting of 17 office properties aggregating 2.3 million square feet located in New Jersey and eight properties aggregating 1.2 million square feet located in Troy, Michigan). In December 2007, the OPLP sold its eight properties located in Troy, Michigan for $83.5 million. The venture recognized a loss of approximately $22.3 million from the sale.
As defined in the Mack-Green operating agreement, the Company shared decision-making equally with SL Green regarding: (i) all major decisions involving the operations of Mack-Green; and (ii) overall general partner responsibilities in operating the OPLP.
The Mack-Green operating agreement generally provided for profits and losses to be allocated as follows:
|
(i)
|
99 percent of Mack-Green’s share of the profits and losses from 10 specific OPLP Properties allocable to the Company and one percent allocable to SL Green;
|
|
(ii)
|
one percent of Mack-Green’s share of the profits and losses from eight specific OPLP Properties and its minor interest in four office properties allocable to the Company and 99 percent allocable to SL Green; and
|
(iii) 50 percent of all other profits and losses allocable to the Company and 50 percent allocable to SL Green.
Substantially all of the OPLP Properties were encumbered by mortgage loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $276.3 million at March 31, 2009. $185.0 million of the mortgage loans bore interest at a weighted average fixed interest rate of 6.26 percent per annum and matured at various times through May 2016.
Six of the OPLP Properties (the “Portfolio Properties”) were encumbered by $90.3 million of mortgage loans which bore interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 275 basis points per annum and were scheduled to mature in May 2009. The floating rate mortgage loans were provided to the six entities which owned the Portfolio Properties (collectively, the “Portfolio Entities”) by Gramercy, which was a related party of SL Green. Based on the venture’s anticipated holding period pertaining to the Portfolio Properties, the venture believed that the carrying amounts of these properties may not have been recoverable at December 31, 2008. Accordingly, as the venture determined that its carrying value of these properties exceeded the estimated fair value, it recorded an impairment charge of approximately $32.3 million as of December 31, 2008.
On April 29, 2009, the Company acquired the remaining interests in Mack-Green from SL Green. As a result, the Company owns 100 percent of Mack-Green. Additionally, on April 29, 2009, the mortgage loans with Gramercy on the Portfolio Properties (the “Gramercy Agreement”) were modified to provide for, among other things, interest to accrue at the current rate of LIBOR plus 275 basis points per annum, with the interest pay rate capped at 3.15 percent per annum. Under the Gramercy Agreement, the payment of debt service is subordinate to the payment of operating expenses. Interest at the pay rate is payable only out of funds generated by the Portfolio Properties and only to the extent that the Portfolio Properties’ operating expenses have been paid, with any accrued unpaid interest above the pay rate serving to increase the balance of the amounts due at the termination of the agreement. Any excess funds after payment of debt service generally will be escrowed and available for future capital and leasing costs, as well as to cover future cash flow shortfalls, as appropriate. The Gramercy Agreement terminates on May 9, 2011. Approximately six months in advance of the end of the term of the Gramercy Agreement, the Portfolio Entities are to provide estimates of each property’s fair market value (“FMV”). Gramercy has the right to accept or reject the FMV. If Gramercy rejects the FMV, Gramercy must market the property for sale in cooperation with the Portfolio Entities and must approve the ultimate sale. However, Gramercy has no obligation to market a Portfolio Property if the FMV is less than the allocated amount due, including accrued, unpaid interest. If any Portfolio Property is not sold, the Portfolio Entities have agreed to give a deed in lieu of foreclosure, unless the FMV was equal to or greater than the allocated amount due for such Portfolio Property, in which case they can elect to have that Portfolio Property released by paying the FMV. If Gramercy accepts the FMV, the Portfolio Property will be released from the Gramercy Agreement upon payment of the FMV. Under the direction of Gramercy, the Company continues to perform management, leasing, and construction services for the Portfolio Properties at market terms. The Portfolio Entities have a participation interest which provides for sharing 50 percent of any amount realized in excess of the allocated amounts due for each Portfolio Property.
As the Company acquired SL Green’s interests in Mack-Green, the Company owns 100 percent of Mack-Green and is consolidating Mack-Green as of the closing date. Mack-Green, in turn, has been and will continue consolidating the OPLP as Mack-Green’s approximate 96 percent, general partner ownership interest in the OPLP remained unchanged as of the closing date. Additionally, as of the closing date, the OPLP continues to consolidate its Property Entities which own 11 office properties aggregating 1.5 million square feet as its 100-percent ownership and rights regarding these entities were unchanged in the transaction. The OPLP will not be consolidating the Portfolio Entities that own six office properties, aggregating 786,198 square feet, as the Gramercy Agreement is considered a reconsideration event under the provisions of ASC 810, Consolidation, and accordingly, the Portfolio Entities were deemed to be variable interest entities for which the OPLP was not considered the primary beneficiary based on the Gramercy Agreement as described above. As a result of the SLG Transactions, the Company has an unconsolidated joint venture interest in the Portfolio Properties.
On March 31, 2010, the venture sold one of its unconsolidated Portfolio Properties subject to the Gramercy Agreement, 1280 Wall Street West, a 121,314 square foot office property, located in Lyndhurst, New Jersey, for approximately $13.9 million, which was primarily used to pay down mortgage loans pursuant to the Gramercy Agreement.
On December 17, 2010, the venture repaid the $26.8 million allocated loan amount of one of the unconsolidated Portfolio Properties which was subject to the Gramercy Agreement, One Grande Commons, a 198,376 square foot office property, located in Bridgewater, New Jersey. Concurrent with the repayment, the venture placed $11 million mortgage financing on the property obtained from a bank. As a result of the repayment of the existing mortgage loan, the venture, which is consolidated by the Company, obtained a controlling interest and is consolidating the office property.
The Company performs management, leasing, and construction services for properties owned by the unconsolidated joint ventures and recognized $861,000, $2.3 million and $5.2 million in income (net of $0, $1.1 million and $3.5 million in direct costs) for such services in the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
GE/GALE FUNDING LLC (Princeton Forrestal Village)
The Gale agreement signed as part of the Gale/Green transactions in May 2006 provided for the Company to acquire certain ownership interests in real estate projects (the “Non-Portfolio Properties”), subject to obtaining certain third party consents and the satisfaction of various project-related and/or other conditions. Each of the Company’s acquired interests in the Non-Portfolio Properties provide for the initial distributions of net cash flow solely to the Company, and thereafter an affiliate of Mr. Gale (“Gale Affiliate”) has participation rights (“Gale Participation Rights”) in 50 percent of the excess net cash flow remaining after the distribution to the Company of the aggregate amount equal to the sum of: (a) the Company’s capital contributions, plus (b) an internal rate of return (“IRR”) of 10 percent per annum, accruing on the date or dates of the Company’s investments.
On May 9, 2006, as part of the Gale/Green transactions, the Company acquired from a Gale Affiliate for $1.8 million a 50 percent controlling interest in GMW Village Associates, LLC (“GMW Village”).

GMW Village holds a 20 percent interest in GE/Gale Funding LLC (“GE Gale”). GE Gale owns a 100 percent interest in the entity which owned Princeton Forrestal Village, a mixed-use, office/retail complex aggregating 527,015 square feet and located in Plainsboro, New Jersey (“Princeton Forrestal Village” or “PFV”).
In addition to the cash consideration paid to acquire the interest, the Company provided a Gale affiliate with the Gale Participation Rights.
The operating agreement of GE Gale, which is owned 80 percent by GEBAM, Inc., provides for, among other things, distributions of net cash flow, initially, in proportion to each member’s interest and subject to adjustment upon achievement of certain financial goals, as defined in the operating agreement.
On December 16, 2010, GE Gale sold PFV for $55 million, realizing a gain on the sale of $207,000 (of which the Company’s share of $41,000 is included in equity in earnings for the year ended December 31, 2010).
The Company performed management, leasing, and other services for PFV and recognized $1.4 million, $1.1 million and $881,000 in income (net of $0, $0 and $288,000 in direct costs) for such services in the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

As a result of the sale the Company received a distribution of approximately $5.4 million, of which $2.4 million was paid out pursuant to the Gale Participation Rights.
The Company performs management, leasing, and other services for the property owned by 100 Kimball for which it recognized $262,000, $234,000 and $377,000 in income (net of $0, $0 and $1.0 million in direct costs) for such services in the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
55 CORPORATE PARTNERS, LLC
On June 9, 2006, the Company entered into a joint venture with a Gale Affiliate to form 55 Corporate Partners L.L.C.

Sanofi-Aventis U.S. Inc. (“Sanofi”), which occupied neighboring buildings, exercised its option to cause the venture to construct a building on its vacant, developable land and has signed a lease for the building. The lease has a term of 15 years, subject to three five-year extension options. The construction of the building commenced in 2009 and was delivered to the tenant in January 2011. The total estimated costs of the project are expected to be approximately $50.9 million.
The operating agreement of 55 Corporate provides, among other things, for the Gale Participation Rights (of which Mr. Yeager has a direct 26 percent interest). If Mr. Gale receives any commission payments with respect to the Sanofi lease on the development property, Mr. Gale has agreed to pay to Mr. Yeager 26 percent of such payments.
The operating agreement of SLG 55 provided, among other things, for the distribution of the available net cash flow to each of 55 Corporate and SLG Gale 55 in proportion to their respective membership interests in SLG 55 (50 percent each).

On January 25, 2007, (i) each of M-C/Gale JV LLC, Gale and Washington Street Realty Member LLC (“JPM”) formed a joint venture (“JPM JV LLC”), (ii) M-C/Gale JV LLC assigned its entire 50 percent ownership interest in the Vornado JV LLC to JPM JV LLC, (iii) the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Vornado JV LLC was amended to reflect, among other things, the change in the ownership structure described in subsection (ii) above, and (iv) the Limited Liability Company Agreement of MC/Gale JV LLC was amended and restated to reflect, among other things, the change in the ownership structure described in subsection (ii) above. The Vornado JV LLC acquired the Filenes Property on January 29, 2007, for approximately $100 million.
On or about September 16, 2008, Vornado JV LLC was reorganized in contemplation of developing and converting the Filenes property into a condominium consisting of a retail unit, an office unit, a parking unit, a hotel unit and a residential unit. Pursuant to this reorganization, (i) the Company and Gale/426 formed a new joint venture (“M-C/Gale JV II LLC”) and (ii) M-C/Gale JV II LLC and Washington Street Realty Member II LLC (“JPM II”) formed a new joint venture (“JPM JV II LLC”) to invest in a new joint venture (“Vornado JV II LLC”) with Vornado RTR DC LLC, an affiliate of Vornado Realty, LP (“Vornado II”). Following this reorganization, Vornado JV LLC owns the interests in the retail unit and the office unit (the “Filenes Office/Retail Component”) and Vornado JV II LLC owns the interests in the parking unit, the hotel unit and the residential unit (“the “Filenes Hotel/Residential/Parking Component”). In connection with the foregoing, (a) the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Vornado JV LLC, as amended, was amended and restated to reflect, among other things, the change in the ownership structure described above, (b) the Limited Liability Company Agreement of JPM JV LLC was amended and restated to reflect, among other things, the change in the ownership structure described above and (c) the Limited Liability Company Agreement of M-C/Gale JV LLC was amended and restated to reflect, among other things, the change in the ownership structure described above.
As a result of the foregoing transactions, (A) (i) the Filenes Office/Retail Component is owned by Vornado JV LLC, (ii) Vornado JV LLC is owned 50 percent by each of Vornado and JPM JV LLC, (iii) JPM JV LLC is owned 30 percent by M-C/Gale JV LLC, 70 percent by JPM and managed by Gale/426, which has no ownership interest in JPM JV LLC, and (iv) M-C/Gale JV LLC is owned 99.99 percent by the Company and 0.01 percent by Gale/426 and (B) (i) the Filenes Hotel/Residential/Parking Component is owned by Vornado JV II LLC, (ii) Vornado JV II LLC is owned 50 percent by each of Vornado II and JPM JV II LLC, (iii) JPM JV II LLC is owned 30 percent by M-C/Gale JV II LLC, 70 percent by JPM II and managed by Gale/426, which has no ownership interest in JPM JV II LLC, and (iv) M-C/Gale JV II LLC is owned 99.99 percent by the Company and 0.01 percent by Gale/426. Thus, the Company holds approximately a 15 percent indirect ownership interest in each of Vornado JV LLC and Vornado JV II LLC and the Filenes Property.

Distributions are made (i) by Vornado JV II LLC in proportion to its members’ respective ownership interests, (ii) by JPM JV II LLC (a) initially, in proportion to its members’ respective ownership interests until JPM II’s investment yields an 11 percent IRR, (b) thereafter, 60/40 to JPM II and M-C/Gale JV II LLC, respectively, until JPM II’s investment yields a 15 percent IRR and (c) thereafter, 50/50 to JPM II and M-C/Gale JV II LLC, respectively, and (iii) by M-C/Gale JV II LLC (w) initially, in proportion to its members’ respective ownership interests until each member has received a 10 percent IRR on its investment, (x) thereafter, 65/35 to the Company and Gale/426, respectively, until the Company’s investment yields a 15 percent IRR, (y) if by the time the Company receives a 15 percent IRR on its investment, Gale/426 has not done so, 100 percent to Gale/426 until Gale/426’s investment yields a 15 percent IRR, and (z) thereafter, 50/50 to each of the Company and Gale/426.
The joint venture has suspended its plans for the development of the Filenes Property which was to include approximately 1.2 million square feet consisting of office, retail, condominium apartments, hotel and a parking garage. The project is subject to governmental approvals. The venture recorded an impairment charge of approximately $69.5 million on its development project as of December 31, 2008.

UNSECURED REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
|
The Company has a $775 million unsecured credit facility (expandable to $800 million) with a group of 23 Lenders. The interest rate on outstanding borrowings (not electing the Company’s competitive bid feature) is LIBOR plus 55 basis points at the BBB/Baa2 pricing level. In June 2010, the Company exercised its option to extend the credit facility for one year to June 2012 and paid the $1,162,500 extension fee.
The facility has a competitive bid feature, which allows the Company to solicit bids from lenders under the facility to borrow up to $300 million at interest rates less than the current LIBOR plus 55 basis point spread. The Company may also elect an interest rate representing the higher of the lender’s prime rate or the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points. The unsecured facility also requires a 15 basis point facility fee on the current borrowing capacity payable quarterly in arrears.
The interest rate and the facility fee are subject to adjustment, on a sliding scale, based upon the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings. In the event of a change in the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt rating, the interest and facility fee rates will be adjusted in accordance with the following table:

(a) If the Operating Partnership has debt ratings from two rating agencies, one of which is Standard & Poor’s Rating Services (“S&P”) or Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), the rates per the above table shall be based on the lower of such ratings. If the Operating Partnership has debt ratings from three rating agencies, one of which is S&P or Moody’s, the rates per the above table shall be based on the lower of the two highest ratings.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT 401(k) PLANS
|
Employees of the Company, who meet certain minimum age and service requirements, are eligible to participate in the Mack-Cali Realty Corporation 401(k) Savings/Retirement Plan (the “401(k) Plan”). Eligible employees may elect to defer from one percent up to 60 percent of their annual compensation on a pre-tax basis to the 401(k) Plan, subject to certain limitations imposed by federal law. The amounts contributed by employees are immediately vested and non-forfeitable. The Company may make discretionary matching or profit sharing contributions to the 401(k) Plan on behalf of eligible participants in any plan year. Participants are always 100 percent vested in their pre-tax contributions and will begin vesting in any matching or profit sharing contributions made on their behalf after two years of service with the Company at a rate of 20 percent per year, becoming 100 percent vested after a total of six years of service with the Company. All contributions are allocated as a percentage of compensation of the eligible participants for the Plan year. The assets of the 401(k) Plan are held in trust and a separate account is established for each participant. A participant may receive a distribution of his or her vested account balance in the 401(k) Plan in a single sum or in installment payments upon his or her termination of service with the Company. Total expense recognized by the Company for the 401(k) Plan for each of the three years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $0, $0 and $471,000, respectively. The Company did not make contributions to the 401(k) Plan in 2010 and 2009.

DISCLOSURE OF FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
|
The following disclosure of estimated fair value was determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the financial instruments at December 31, 2010 and 2009. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
Cash equivalents, marketable securities, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.
The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, consisting of senior unsecured notes, an unsecured revolving credit facility and mortgages, loans payable and other obligations aggregate approximately $2.2 billion and $2.4 billion as compared to the book value of approximately $2.1 billion and $2.3 billion as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated on a level 2 basis (as provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures), using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities. The fair value of the mortgage debt and the unsecured notes was determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by a market rate.
Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since December 31, 2010 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

Pursuant to agreements with the City of Jersey City, New Jersey, the Company is required to make payments in lieu of property taxes (“PILOT”) on certain of its properties located in Jersey City, as follows:
The Harborside Plaza 4-A agreement, which commenced in 2002, is for a term of 20 years. The PILOT is equal to two percent of Total Project costs, as defined. Total Project costs, as defined, are $49.5 million. The PILOT totaled $1,205,000, $1,001,000 and $1,001,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

LITIGATION
The Company is a defendant in litigation arising in the normal course of its business activities. Management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a materially adverse effect upon the Company’s financial condition taken as whole.

Ground lease expense incurred by the Company during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 amounted to $490,000, $734,000 and $701,000, respectively.
OTHER
The Company may not dispose of or distribute certain of its properties, currently comprising seven properties with an aggregate net book value of approximately $133.9 million, which were originally contributed by certain unrelated common unitholders, without the express written consent of such common unitholders, as applicable, except in a manner which does not result in recognition of any built-in-gain (which may result in an income tax liability) or which reimburses the appropriate specific common unitholders for the tax consequences of the recognition of such built-in-gains (collectively, the “Property Lock-Ups”). The aforementioned restrictions do not apply in the event that the Company sells all of its properties or in connection with a sale transaction which the Company’s Board of Directors determines is reasonably necessary to satisfy a material monetary default on any unsecured debt, judgment or liability of the Company or to cure any material monetary default on any mortgage secured by a property. The Property Lock-Ups expire periodically through 2016. Upon the expiration of the Property Lock-Ups, the Company is generally required to use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any sale, transfer or other disposition of the subject properties from resulting in the recognition of built-in gain to the specific common unitholders, which include members of the Mack Group (which includes William L. Mack, Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors; David S. Mack, director; Earle I. Mack, a former director; and Mitchell E. Hersh, president, chief executive officer and director), the Robert Martin Group (which includes Robert F. Weinberg, director; Martin S. Berger, a former director; and Timothy M. Jones, former president), the Cali Group (which includes John R. Cali, director, and John J. Cali, a former director). 130 of the Company’s properties, with an aggregate net book value of approximately $1.8 billion, have lapsed restrictions and are subject to these conditions.
Sanofi-Aventis U.S. Inc. (“Sanofi”), which occupies neighboring buildings in Bridgewater, New Jersey, exercised its option to cause the Company to construct a building on its vacant, developable land and has signed a lease for the building. The lease has a term of 15 years, subject to three five-year extension options. The construction of the 205,000 square foot building commenced in 2009 and was delivered to the tenant in January 2011. The total estimated costs of the project are expected to be approximately $50.9 million (of which the Company has incurred $38.0 million through December 31, 2010.)
The Properties are leased to tenants under operating leases with various expiration dates through 2030. Substantially all of the leases provide for annual base rents plus recoveries and escalation charges based upon the tenant’s proportionate share of and/or increases in real estate taxes and certain operating costs, as defined, and the pass-through of charges for electrical usage.
Future minimum rentals to be received under non-cancelable operating leases at December 31, 2010 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

MACK-CALI REALTY CORPORATION STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
|
To maintain its qualification as a REIT, not more than 50 percent in value of the outstanding shares of the Company may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of any taxable year of the Company, other than its initial taxable year (defined to include certain entities), applying certain constructive ownership rules. To help ensure that the Company will not fail this test, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation provide for, among other things, certain restrictions on the transfer of common stock to prevent further concentration of stock ownership. Moreover, to evidence compliance with these requirements, the Company must maintain records that disclose the actual ownership of its outstanding common stock and demands written statements each year from the holders of record of designated percentages of its common stock requesting the disclosure of the beneficial owners of such common stock.
PREFERRED STOCK
The Company has 10,000 shares of eight-percent Series C cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred stock issued and outstanding (“Series C Preferred Stock”) in the form of 1,000,000 depositary shares ($25 stated value per depositary share). Each depositary share represents 1/100th of a share of Series C Preferred Stock.
The Series C Preferred Stock has preference rights with respect to liquidation and distributions over the common stock. Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, except under certain limited conditions, will not be entitled to vote on any matters. In the event of a cumulative arrearage equal to six quarterly dividends, holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will have the right to elect two additional members to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors until dividends have been paid in full. At December 31, 2010, there were no dividends in arrears. The Company may issue unlimited additional preferred stock ranking on a parity with the Series C Preferred Stock but may not issue any preferred stock senior to the Series C Preferred Stock without the consent of two-thirds of its holders. The Series C Preferred Stock is essentially on an equivalent basis in priority with the preferred units of the Operating Partnership (See Note 16: Noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries).
The Series C Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at $25 per depositary share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends.
SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
On September 12, 2007, the Board of Directors authorized an increase to the Company’s repurchase program under which the Company was permitted to purchase up to $150 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock (“Repurchase Program”). The Company has purchased and retired 2,893,630 shares of its outstanding common stock for an aggregate cost of approximately $104 million through December 31, 2010 under the Repurchase Program (none of which has occurred in 2009 and 2010). The Company has a remaining authorization to repurchase up to an additional $46 million of its outstanding common stock, which it may repurchase from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing prices or through privately negotiated transactions.
DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the “DRIP”) which commenced in March 1999 under which 5.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for future issuance. The DRIP provides for automatic reinvestment of all or a portion of a participant’s dividends from the Company’s shares of common stock. The DRIP also permits participants to make optional cash investments up to $5,000 a month without restriction and, if the Company waives this limit, for additional amounts subject to certain restrictions and other conditions set forth in the DRIP prospectus filed as part of the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the 5.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the DRIP.
STOCK OPTION PLANS
In May 2004, the Company established the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan under which a total of 2,500,000 shares have been reserved for issuance. No options have been granted through December 31, 2010 under this plan. In September 2000, the Company established the 2000 Employee Stock Option Plan (“2000 Employee Plan”) and the Amended and Restated 2000 Director Stock Option Plan (“2000 Director Plan”). In May 2002, shareholders of the Company approved amendments to both plans to increase the total shares reserved for issuance under both of the 2000 plans from 2,700,000 to 4,350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (from 2,500,000 to 4,000,000 shares under the 2000 Employee Plan and from 200,000 to 350,000 shares under the 2000 Director Plan). In 1994, and as subsequently amended, the Company established the Mack-Cali Employee Stock Option Plan (“Employee Plan”) and the Mack-Cali Director Stock Option Plan (“Director Plan”) under which a total of 5,380,188 shares (subject to adjustment) of the Company’s common stock had been reserved for issuance (4,980,188 shares under the Employee Plan and 400,000 shares under the Director Plan). As the Employee Plan and Director Plan expired in 2004, and the 2000 Employee Plan and 2000 Director Plan expired in September 2010, stock options may no longer be issued under those plans. Stock options granted under the Employee Plan in 1994 and 1995 became exercisable over a three-year period. Stock options granted under the 2000 Employee Plan and those options granted subsequent to 1995 under the Employee Plan became exercisable over a five-year period. All stock options granted under both the 2000 Director Plan and Director Plan became exercisable in one year. All options were granted at the fair market value at the dates of grant and have terms of ten years. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the stock options outstanding, which were all exercisable, had a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately 1.7 and 2.5 years, respectively.
