(i) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any payment or benefit to be paid or provided hereunder, when combined with any other amount payable to Executive, would be an “Excess Parachute Payment,” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, or any successor provision thereto, but for the application of this sentence, then the payments and benefits to be paid or provided hereunder shall be reduced to the minimum extent necessary so that no portion of any such payment or benefit, as so reduced, constitutes an Excess Parachute Payment; provided, however, that the foregoing reduction shall be made only if and to the extent that such reduction would result in an increase in the aggregate payments and benefits to be provided, determined on an after-tax basis (taking into account the excise tax imposed pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, or any successor provision thereto, any tax imposed by any comparable provision of state law, and any applicable federal, state and local income taxes). In the event that any payment or benefit intended to be provided hereunder is required to be reduced pursuant to this Section the reduction shall occur in the following order:: (A) by first reducing or eliminating the portion of the payments which are not payable in cash and are not attributable to equity awards (other than that portion of the payments subject to clause (D) hereof), (B) then by reducing or eliminating cash payments (other than that portion of the payments subject to clause (D) hereof), (C) then by reducing or eliminating the portion of the payments which are not payable in cash and are attributable to equity awards (other than that portion of the Payments subject to clause (D) hereof) and (D) then by reducing or eliminating the portion of the Payments (whether payable in cash or not payable in cash) to which Treasury Regulation § 1.280G-1 Q/A 24(c) (or successor thereto) applies, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits which are to be paid the farthest in time.

(ii) The determination of whether the any payment or benefit shall be reduced as provided in Section 10(c)(i) hereof and the amount of such reduction shall be made at the Company’s expense by an accounting firm selected by the Company from among the four (4) largest accounting firms in the United States (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall provide its determination (the “Determination”), together with supporting calculations and documentation, to the Company and Executive within forty five (45) days after Executive’s final day of employment, which Determination, absent manifest error, shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the Company and Executive. If the Accounting Firm determines that the payments and benefits to be provided to Executive will not result in any Excess Parachute Payments, it shall furnish Executive with an opinion to that effect. If the Accounting Firm determines that the payments and benefits to be provided to Executive will result in Excess Parachute Payments, it shall furnish the Executive with an opinion that no Excess Parachute Payments will be made after the reductions contemplated by Section 10(c)(i) hereof.

For purposes of this Section 11, the Company shall be deemed to include any entity which is controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Company and any entity of which a majority of the economic interest is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no provision contained in this Agreement is intended or should be construed to prevent or impede Executive from voluntarily communicating with any governmental agencies (including, without limitation, the Securities and Exchange Commission) regarding possible violations of law, or to limit Executive’s ability to seek or accept a financial award for providing information to any governmental agency.

12. Return of Documents.

Except for such items which are of a personal nature to Executive (e.g., daily business planner), all writings, records, and other documents and things containing any Confidential Information shall be the exclusive property of the Company, shall not be copied, summarized, extracted from, or removed from the premises of the Company, except in pursuit of the business of the Company, and shall be delivered to the Company, without retaining any copies, upon the termination of Executive’s employment or at any time as requested by the Company.

Nothing herein shall prohibit Executive from being a passive owner of not more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding stock of any class of securities of a company or other entity engaged in such business which is publicly traded, so long as he has no active participation in the business of such company or other entity.

(b) If, at the time of enforcement of this Section 13, a court shall hold that the duration, scope, area or other restrictions stated herein are unreasonable, the parties agree that reasonable maximum duration, scope, area or other restrictions may be substituted by such court for the stated duration, scope, area or other restrictions and upon substitution by such court, this Agreement shall be automatically modified without further action by the parties hereto.

(c) For purposes of this Section 13, the Company shall be deemed to include any entity which is controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Company and any entity of which a majority of the economic interest is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company.

(d) Non-solicitation. Executive agrees that during the Employment Period, and for a one (1) year period thereafter, regardless of the reason for termination (the “Restricted Period”), Executive will not, without written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, including causing, encouraging, directing or soliciting any other person to, contact, approach or solicit (other than, so long as Executive continues to be employed by the Company and makes such contact, approach or solicitation made on behalf of the Company) for the purpose of offering employment to or hiring (whether as an employee, consultant, agent, independent contractor or otherwise) or actually hire any person who is or has been employed or retained in the operation of the Company’s business during the period commencing three (3) months prior to the date of such hiring or offering of employment, or induce, interfere with or solicit, or attempt to induce, interfere with or solicit, any person that is a current or former customer, supplier or other business relation of the Company to terminate its relationship or otherwise cease doing business in whole or in part or reduce the amount of business with the Company.

(e) Non-disparagement. Executive agrees not to disparage the Company or its past and present investors, officers, directors or employees, and the Company agrees not to disparage Executive.

(f) Acknowledgements. Executive acknowledges and agrees that (i) Executive’s obligation to comply with the restrictions in this Section 13 shall be independent of any obligation owed to Executive by the Company (whether under this Agreement or otherwise), and specifically shall not be dependent upon whether Executive is entitled to any form of severance pay or benefits pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise; (ii) no claim against the Company by Executive (whether under this Agreement or otherwise) shall constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company or its affiliates of the restrictions in this Section 13, (iii) the time limitations and the geographic scope on the restrictions in this Section 13 are reasonable, (iv) the restrictions imposed under this

- 12 -

Section 13 are reasonably necessary for the protection of the Company and its goodwill, Confidential Information, and other legitimate business interests and do not impose a greater restraint than necessary to provide such protection, (v) that through this Agreement, Executive shall receive adequate consideration for any loss of opportunity associated with the restrictions of this Section 13, and (vi) that the provisions of this Section 13 and its subparts provide a reasonable way of protecting Company’s business value.

(g) Extension of Time. In the event that Executive breaches any covenant, obligation or duty in this Section 13, any such duty, obligation, or covenants to which the parties agreed by this Section 13 shall automatically toll from the date of the first breach, and all subsequent breaches, until the resolution of the breach through private settlement, judicial or other action, including all appeals. The duration and length of Executive’s duties and obligations as agreed by this Section 13 shall continue upon the effective date of any such settlement, or judicial or other resolution.

(h) Legal and Equitable Remedies. Upon any material breach by Executive of any of the provisions of Sections 11, 12 or 13, Executive shall immediately, permanently and irrevocably forfeit without payment of consideration of any kind any and all rights to any of the benefits and payments otherwise payable to Executive pursuant to this Agreement (other than the Accrued Obligations). In addition, in view of the nature of the rights in goodwill, employee relations, trade secrets, and business reputation and prospects of the Company to be protected under Sections 11, 12 and 13, Executive understands and agrees that the Company could not be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in an action at law for Executive’s breach of Executive’s obligations (whether individually or together) under Sections 11, 12 or 13. Accordingly, Executive specifically agrees that the Company shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief, specific performance, and other equitable relief to enforce the provisions of Sections 11, 12 and 13, and that such relief may be granted without the necessity of proving actual damages, and without bond. EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE PROVISIONS IN SECTIONS 11, 12 AND 13 ARE ESSENTIAL AND MATERIAL TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT UPON BREACH OF SECTIONS 11, 12 OR 13 BY EXECUTIVE, COMPANY IS ENTITLED TO WITHHOLD PROVIDING PAYMENTS OR CONSIDERATION, TO EQUITABLE RELIEF TO PREVENT CONTINUED BREACH, TO RECOVER DAMAGES AND TO SEEK ANY OTHER REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO COMPANY. This provision with respect to injunctive relief shall not, however, diminish the right of the Company to claim and recover damages or other remedies in addition to equitable relief.

14. Successors.

This Agreement may not be assigned by the Company except to a successor (whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or assets, and the Company shall require any such successor to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to perform it in the absence of a succession.

(c) Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to sections, subsections or clauses, such references shall be to a section, subsection or clause of this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated. The words “herein” and “hereof’ mean, except where a specific section, subsection or clause reference is expressly indicated, the entire Agreement rather than any specific section, subsection or clause.

(e) Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, it is intended that payments and benefits provided hereunder be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code and the guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”). This Agreement shall be administered in a manner consistent with this intent and if Executive or the Company believes, at any time, that any of such payment or benefit is not exempt or does not so comply, Executive or the Company shall promptly advise the other party and will negotiate reasonably and in good faith to amend the terms of such arrangement such that it is exempt or complies (with the most limited possible economic effect on Executive and on the Company) or to minimize any additional tax,

interest and/or penalties that may apply under Section 409A if exemption or compliance is not practicable. In furtherance of the foregoing, the following provisions shall apply notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

(i) To the extent applicable, each and every payment to be made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment and not as one of a series of payments treated as a single payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation §1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii).

(ii) If Executive becomes entitled to receive any payment that constitutes deferred compensation subject to Section 409A upon a termination of employment, and such termination of employment does not constitute a “separation from service” as defined in Section 409A, payment of such amount shall be deferred, without interest, and paid on the earlier of the date Executive incurs a separation from service, as so defined (subject to subsection (f)(iii)) below, or the date of Executive’s death.

(iii) If Executive is a “specified employee”, as defined in Section 409A on the date he incurs a separation from service, any amount that becomes payable by reason of such separation from service that constitutes deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, including any amount deferred pursuant to subsection (f)(ii) above, shall be deferred, without interest, and paid on the earlier of the first business day of the seventh month following the month that includes Executive’s separation from service, or the date of Executive’s death.

(iv) If the sixty (60) day period described in Section 9 ends in the calendar year following the year that includes the Termination Date, no amount that is subject to Section 409A, the payment of which is dependent upon the execution of the Release, shall be paid until the first business day of the calendar year following the year that includes the Termination Date, regardless of when the Release is signed.

(v) Any reimbursement of any expense payable to Executive that constitutes taxable income shall be paid not later than the last day of the year following the year in which the expense is incurred, and all reimbursements and in-kind benefits shall be paid in accordance with Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv).

(vi) The Company shall not be obligated to guarantee any particular tax result for Executive with respect to any payment or benefit provided to Executive hereunder, and Executive shall be responsible for any taxes, additional taxes or penalties imposed on Executive in connection with any such payment or benefit with respect to Section 409A or any other obligation to pay taxes.

(f) Legal Fees. If any contest or dispute shall arise between the Company and Executive regarding or as a result of any provision of this Agreement, the Company shall reimburse Executive for all legal fees and expenses reasonably incurred by Executive in connection with such contest or dispute, but only if Executive is successful in respect of substantially all of Executive’s claims pursued or defended in connection with such contest or dispute. Such reimbursement shall be made as soon as practicable following the resolution of such contest or dispute (whether or not appealed).

(g) Timing of and No Duplication of Payments.

All payments payable to Executive pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid as soon as practicable after such amounts have become fully vested and determinable. In addition, Executive shall not be entitled to receive duplicate payments under any of the provisions of this Agreement.

(h) Modification or Waiver.

No amendment, modification, waiver, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be binding or effective for any purpose unless it is made in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of such amendment, modification, waiver, termination or cancellation is sought. No course of dealing between or among the parties to this Agreement shall be deemed to affect or to modify, amend or discharge any provision or term of this Agreement. No delay on the part of the Company or Executive in the exercise of any of their respective rights or remedies shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Company or Executive of any such right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof. A waiver of right or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right or remedy on any other occasion.

- 16 -

The respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall survive Executive’s termination of employment and termination of this Agreement to the extent necessary for the intended preservation of such rights and obligations.

(i) Governing Law.

This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws thereunder.

(j) Survival of Agreements.

The provisions of Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 15 each shall survive the Term and termination of this Agreement.

Pursuant to Section 9 of the Amended and Restated Executive Employment Agreement between Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (the “Company”) and Gary T. Wagner (the “Executive”), commencing on or about January 1, 2021 (the “Employment Agreement”), all benefits and payments that may become payable pursuant to Section 6 of the Employment Agreement, other than those described in Section 6(a)(i-v), are expressly conditioned on Executive, or the representative of his estate, executing and not revoking the release set forth in this Separation Agreement and Release (“Separation Agreement” or “Release”).

1. Release and Waiver: In further consideration of the covenants undertaken pursuant to the Employment Agreement including, without limitation, all payments and benefits provided to Executive, and in exchange for those benefits provided for in Sections 6, 7 and 8 of the Employment Agreement, other than those described in Section 6(a)(i-v), Executive releases Mack-Cali Realty L.P. and Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, their respective predecessors, successors, affiliates, subsidiaries, parents and assigns (collectively and individually, the "Employer"), and their officers, directors, managers, trustees, shareholders, partners, members, employees, agents and all persons acting by, through, under, or in concert with them or any of them (collectively called "Employer Releasees"), from any and all liability, obligations, causes of action, claims, and/or demands whatsoever in law or equity arising or that may arise from any aspect of Executive’s employment with the Employer and separation from that employment. This release includes, but is not limited to (a) all wrongful discharge claims (including but not limited to claims based on breach of contract or implied contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, or violation of public policy); (b) claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended (which prohibits discrimination on the basis of color, national origin, race, religion, and sex); (c) claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (which prohibits discrimination against persons 40 years of age or older because of age); (d) claims under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended; (e) claims under the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act of 1990; (f) claims under the Civil Rights Act of 1866; (g) claims under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; (h) claims under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act; (i) claims under the Immigration Reform and Control Act; (j) claims under the National Labor Relations Act; (k) claims under the Americans With Disabilities Act (which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disabilities); (l) claims under the Family and Medical Leave Act; (m) claims under the Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act; (n) claims under the Fair Credit Reporting Act; (o) claims under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act; (p) claims under any state or federal wage and hour law; (q) claims under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (which prohibits discrimination on the basis of age, color, physical or mental impairment or disability, national origin, race, religion, sex, and affectional or sexual orientation and gender identity or expression); (r) claims under the New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act; (s) claims under the New Jersey Family Leave Act; (t) claims under the New Jersey SAFE Act; (u) claims under the New Jersey Earned Sick Leave Law; (v) claims under the New York State Human Rights Law; (w) claims under the New York State Wage Theft Prevention Act; (x) claims under the New York State Paid Family Leave Law; and (y) claims under any other

- 18 -

federal or state statute, common law, or decisional law, as well as claims for negligent and/or intentional infliction of emotional distress, for alleged interference with any contract, economic opportunity or prospective economic advantage, or for alleged violation of any federal, state or local law, regulation, ordinance or common-law duty relating to, arising out of, or having any bearing whatsoever on, Executive’s former employment by the Employer, including Executive’s separation from that employment.

2. Exceptions. Nothing in this Separation Agreement requires Executive to waive any rights or claims that Executive may have arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act unless Executive has been afforded at least twenty one (21) days to consider this Agreement, and the release of those claims shall not become effective until seven (7) days after Executive signs this Agreement. During this seven-day period, Executive has the right to revoke the release of those claims, in which event this Agreement will become null and void and of no further force or effect and Executive will lose the right to receive the additional compensation and benefits set forth in Section 6, 7 and 8 of the Employment Agreement. Executive may revoke the Separation Agreement and Release by sending a letter indicating that he withdraws his agreement to the Separation Agreement and Release to _______________, _________________, Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, Harborside 3, 210 Hudson Street, Suite 400, Jersey City, N.J. 07311.

3. Covenant Not to Sue. The additional items of compensation provided to Executive under Section 6 of the Employment Agreement are in lieu of any other compensation, bonus, severance, or separation benefit to which Executive might otherwise be entitled in connection with his separation from employment under any employment policy or employee benefit plan of the Employer. By accepting the benefits under Section 6, 7 and 8 of the Employment Agreement, Executive expressly waives and surrenders his rights, if any, to benefits under any such policy or plan. This Separation Agreement does not, however, affect Executive’s entitlement to benefits, if any, under any existing qualified retirement plan.

4. Execution and Right to Revoke. Executive represents and agrees that he has or will immediately turn over all of the Employer's property in his possession including, but not limited to, any financial information, personnel information, computer records, and any other documents, I.D. cards, computer passwords, laptops, tablets, external drives, cell phones, machinery, tools, equipment and keys.

5. Resignations. Pursuant to Paragraph 5(a) of the Agreement, Executive shall resign from any and all directorships, committee memberships or any other positions Executive holds with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including but not limited to any third party boards or committees of which Executive is a member for or on behalf of the Company or as a result of his employment with the Company

6. Acknowledgements. By signing this Separation Agreement, Executive acknowledges that he has carefully read it and understands its terms, that he has been advised to seek the advice of a lawyer before signing it, that he has voluntarily and knowingly executed this Separation Agreement, and that he fully appreciates the effect of executing it. Executive further acknowledges that he has had sufficient time to consider the Separation Agreement and its ramifications without coercion or intimidation before executing it.
