Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) On March 13, 2019, the reporting person received a grant of appreciation only LTIP units (the "AO LTIPs Units") of Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"). The AO LTIP Units are a class of units of the Operating Partnership that, following the achievement of certain price vesting conditions, are convertible by the holder into a number of common units of the Operating Partnership (the "Common Units") determined by reference to the increase in the value of a share of common stock (the "Common Sock") of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (the "Company") at the time of conversion over the value of Common Stock at the time of grant. Common Units are redeemable by the holder for cash or, at the Company's election, shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis.
(2) The AO LTIP Units are subject to the satisfaction of price vesting conditions over a four-year period as follows: (i) 250,000 AO LTIP Units should vest on the earliest date on which the closing price of the Common Stock, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), has been equal to or greater than $25.00 per share for at least thirty (30) consecutive trading days, (ii) 250,000 AO LTIP Units should vest on the earliest date on which the closing price of the Common Stock, as reported on the NYSE, has been equal to or greater than $28.00 per share for at least thirty (30) consecutive trading days, and (iii) 125,000 AO LTIP Units should vest on the earliest date on which the closing price of the Common Stock, as reported on the NYSE, has been equal to or greater than $31.00 per share for at least thirty (30) consecutive trading days, in each case provided that such date occurs prior to March 13, 2023.
(3) The right to convert the AO LTIP Units into Common Units has a maximum term of 10 years.
(4) Reported amounts exclude the following securities directly beneficially owned by the reporting person: (i) options to purchase 400,000 shares of the Common Stock, (ii) 23,041 Class B 2016 LTIP Units of the Operating Partnership, (iii) 196,482 Class C 2017 LTIP Units of the Operating Partnership, (iv) 32,443 Class D 2017 LTIP Units of the Operating Partnership, (v) 340,136 Class E 2018 LTIP Units of the Operating Partnership, and (vi) 58,997 Class F 2018 LTIP Units of the Operating Partnership. Subject to certain vesting conditions, all of these other classes of LTIP Units of the Operating Partnership may be converted to Common Units on a one-for-one basis, which are redeemable by the holder for cash or, at the Company's election, shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis.
