ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
On December 11, 1997, Cali Realty Corporation ("MC Corp") and its
subsidiary, Cali Realty, L.P. (together with MC Corp., collectively, the
"Company") completed its previously announced transaction (the "Transaction")
pursuant to the agreement dated as of September 18, 1997 with the Mack Company
and Patriot American Office Group (collectively, the "Mack Group"), as amended
as of December 11, 1997. The Company acquired 54 office properties, aggregating
approximately 9.4 million square feet (the "Mack Properties") and each of Cali
Realty Corporation and Cali Realty, L.P. changed its name to Mack-Cali Realty
Corporation and Mack-Cali Realty, L.P., respectively.
The total initial consideration of the Transaction was as follows: (i)
$468,958,000 in cash, (ii) $291,882,637 in debt of the Mack Group assumed by the
Company (the "Mack Assumed Debt"), (iii) up to 3,972,318 Common Units of Limited
Operating Partnership Interests in Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. ("Common Units"), (iv)
up to a stated value of $27,132,153 in Series A Preferred Units of Limited
Operating Partnership Interests in Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. ("Series A Preferred
Units"), (v) up to a stated value of $223,124,847 Series B Preferred Units of
Limited Operating Partnership Interests in Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. ("Series B
Preferred Units") and (vi) warrants to purchase 2,000,000 Common Units. The
warrants are exercisable at any time after one year from the date of their
issuance and prior to the fifth anniversary thereof at an exercise price of
$37.80 per Common Unit. Each of the Series A Preferred Units may be converted at
any time into Common Units at a conversion price of $34.65 per unit, and, after
the one year anniversary of the date of the Series A Preferred Units' initial
issuance, Common Units received pursuant to such conversion may be redeemed into
Common Stock (as hereinafter defined). Each of the Series B Preferred Units may
be converted at any time into Common Units at a conversion price of $34.65 per
unit, and, after the three year anniversary of the date of the Series B
Preferred Units' initial issuance, Common Units received pursuant to such
conversion may be redeemed into Common Stock. Each of the Common Units are
redeemable after one year for an equal number of shares of Common Stock of MC
Corp.
At closing, 2,006,432 Common Units ("Contingent Common Units"), 11,895
Series A Preferred Units and 7,799 Series B Preferred Units ("Contingent
Preferred Units," and together with Contingent Common Units, collectively, the
"Contingent Units") were issued as contingent non-participating units. Such
Contingent Units have no voting, distribution or other rights until such time as
they are redeemed into Common Units, Series A Preferred Units, and Series B
Preferred Units respectively. Redemption of such Contingent Units shall occur
upon the achievement of certain performance goals relating to certain of the
Mack Properties, specifically the achievement of certain leasing activity, as
more fully set forth in the First Amendment to the Contribution and Exchange
Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.99.
In connection with the Transaction, resigning from the Board of Directors of
MC Corp. were Brant Cali, Brad Berger, Angelo R. Cali, Kenneth A. DeGhetto,
James W. Hughes and Alan Turtletaub. Added to the Board by nomination by the
Mack Group were Mitchell E. Hersh, William L. Mack and Earle I. Mack. Added as
independent members of the Board were Martin D. Gruss, Jeffrey B. Lane, Vincent
Tese and Paul A. Nussbaum.
In addition, in connection with the Transaction, Brant Cali resigned as
Chief Administrative Officer of MC Corp., John R. Cali resigned as Chief
Accounting Officer of MC Corp. and Thomas A. Rizk resigned as President of MC
Corp. Mitchell E. Hersh entered into an employment agreement with MC Corp.
naming him as President and Chief Operating Officer (Exhibit 10.111). Also
entering into new employment agreements with MC Corp. were Thomas A. Rizk, as
Chief Executive Officer (Exhibit 10.112), Brant Cali, as Executive Vice
President (Exhibit 10.113), and John R. Cali, as Executive Vice President
(Exhibit 10.114). Entering into Amended and Restated Employment Agreements with
MC Corp. were Roger W. Thomas, as Executive Vice President, General Counsel and
Assistant Secretary (Exhibit 10.115), Barry Lefkowitz, as Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer (Exhibit 10.116) and Timothy M. Jones, as
Executive Vice President (Exhibit 10.117).

<PAGE>
Finally, MC Corp. issued (i) a warrant to purchase 339,976 shares of MC
Corp. common Stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), at a purchase
price of $38.75 per share to Mitchell E. Hersh (Exhibit 10.106); (ii) a warrant
to purchase 125,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $38.75 per
share to James Mertz (Exhibit 10.107); and (iii) a warrant to purchase 50,000
shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $38.75 per share to James Clabby
(Exhibit 10.108). In each case, the warrants vest evenly over a five year
period, commencing December 31, 1997 and expire 10 years after their date of
issuance.
On December 10, 1997, Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. entered into a certain Credit
Agreement with Prudential Securities Credit Corporation ("PSC") under the terms
of which PSC agreed to advance Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. $200,000,000.00. The
proceeds of the loan were used to fund a portion of the cash consideration in
completion of the Transaction. The credit agreement has a one year term and
interest payments are required monthly. The interest rate is LIBOR plus 110
basis points. The loan is a recourse loan secured by eleven properties owned by
the Company and located in New Jersey.
The Company has been advised that, on December 10, 1997, a Shareholder's
Derivative Action was filed in Maryland Court on behalf of one individual
shareholder. The complaint, which has yet to be served, questions certain
executive compensation decisions made by the Company's Board of Directors in
connection with the Transaction. The Board's compensation decisions were
discussed in the proxy materials distributed in connection with the Transaction
and were approved by in excess of 99% of the voting shareholders. The Company
believes that this lawsuit is factually and legally baseless and will be
vigorously defended if the complaint is ever served.
The Transaction was previously reported on the Current Report on Form 8-K,
filed by the Company on September 19, 1997. This Current Report on Form 8-K
supersedes the September 19, 1997 8-K in its entirety. Set forth below are the
historical and pro forma financial statements of Businesses Acquired (Section
210.3-05 and Section 210.11 of Regulation S-X) as required by Item 7 of Form
8-K.

W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, MACK, CRLP and Cali have entered into a certain Contribution and
Exchange Agreement dated September 18, 1997 (the "Original Agreement", which as
amended by this First Amendment, shall hereinafter be referred to as the
"AGREEMENT"), whereby MACK has agreed (i) to contribute certain properties,
ground leases and/or one-hundred (100%) percent of its partnership, limited
liability company and/or other ownership interests in and to certain Mack
Entities to CRLP or, at CRLP's direction, to an entity (1) owned by (a) CRLP,
(b) Cali and/or (c) Cali's one-hundred (100%) percent owned subsidiaries, and
(ii) to cause certain key executives of MACK to become part of the management of
Cali;
WHEREAS, MACK, CRLP and Cali have agreed that the Original Agreement is to be
amended in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein;
WHEREAS, all capitalized terms used in this First Amendment and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Original
Agreement, as amended hereby.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises hereinafter set
forth and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally
bound hereby, do hereby agree as follows:
1
<PAGE>
1. PROPERTY.
1.1 Based upon the results of due diligence undertaken to date and
other developments with respect to the Property,
(a) the property commonly known as Biltmore Plaza or Western
Plaza, located at 6001 N. 24th, Phoenix, Arizona, and which is referenced in
Schedule 1.1(a)(i) to the Original Agreement under the Patriot American
Properties as "No. 3" (the "BILTMORE PROPERTY"), is, pursuant to Section 3.4(b)
of the Original Agreement, hereby eliminated from the transaction and deemed a
Partner Property, subject to all of the provisions of the Original Agreement
applicable thereto, including but not limited to Section 3.4(d) of the Original
Agreement, whereby the Biltmore Property may become a Resolved Property and
thereby subject to the Put/Call Provisions;
(b) the property commonly known as Mack Murray Hill, located at
890 Mountain Avenue, New Providence, New Jersey, and which is referenced in
Schedule 1.1(a)(i) to the Original Agreement under the Mack Properties (the
"MURRAY HILL PROPERTY"), is hereby deleted from Schedule 1.1(a)(ii) to the
Original Agreement to reflect that the Murray Hill Property is not subject to a
ground lease; and
(c) (i) unless a ruling is obtained prior to Closing from the
United States Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") to the effect that Cali's
voting interest in a maintenance association constitutes "real estate assets"
within the meaning of Section 856(c)(6)(B) for purposes of Section 856(c)(5)(A)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "CODE") and the Treasury
regulations promulgated thereunder, and that said voting interest will not be
considered "voting securities" for purposes of Section 856(c)(5)(B) of the Code,
then the property commonly known as Patriot Westage Center, located at 300 South
Lake Drive, Fishkill, New York, and which is referenced in Schedule 1.1(a)(i) to
the Original Agreement under the Patriot American Properties as "No. 23" (the
"FISHKILL PROPERTY") shall be leased to CRLP pursuant to a ninety-nine (99) year
ground lease (the "FISHKILL GROUND LEASE"), in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit 1.1(c). In the event that a favorable ruling with respect to the
foregoing issues is obtained from the IRS prior to the Closing Date, then this
Section 1.1(c) of this First Amendment shall be void AB INITIO, and of no
further force and effect, and the Fishkill Property shall be contributed to
CRLP, Cali or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates as originally contemplated
by the Original Agreement.
(ii) Section 1.3 of the Original Agreement is hereby amended by
deleting the words "at Closing" at the end of the first paragraph of Section 1.3
and adding in its place the words "or Ground Lease at Closing".
(iii) Section 5.3 of the Original Agreement is hereby amended by
adding the words "or Ground Lease" at the end of the first sentence.
(iv) The Fishkill Ground Lease is not intended, in any way, to
limit, curtail or restrict CRLP's rights under the Agreement. In the event of
any conflict between
2
<PAGE>
the terms and conditions of the Fishkill Ground Lease and the Agreement, the
terms and conditions of the Agreement shall govern.
2. EXCHANGE CONSIDERATION ADJUSTMENT.
2.1 To reflect, among other things, the elimination of the Biltmore
Property and certain increases in value including the additional value
attributable to increased management potential which Cali will be able to
realize upon the acquisition of the Exchange Property, the Exchange
Consideration shall be adjusted as follows, notwithstanding the terms and
provisions of Section 2.6(b) of the Agreement to the contrary:
(a) the total Exchange Consideration shall be one billion one
hundred forty-four million seventy-nine thousand and twelve dollars
($1,144,079,012.00), plus the Warrants, consisting of the following combination:

3. EARNOUT/CONTINGENT UNITS.
3.1 (a) The property commonly known as Mack Centre IV, located at

1.1(a)(i) to the Original Agreement under the Mack properties (the "MACK CENTRE

properties as "No. 13" (the "PHELAN PROPERTY") currently have unleased square
footage (the "UNLEASED SPACE") in the respective amounts per Earnout Property
(defined below) shown in Column A on Schedule 3.1(a)
3
<PAGE>
annexed hereto. Hereinafter, the Mack Centre IV Property, the Woodbridge
Property, the Plymouth Meeting Property, and the Murray Hill Property shall be
cumulatively referred to as the "MACK EARNOUT PROPERTIES", and the Monticello
Property and Phelan Property shall be cumulatively referred to as the "PATRIOT
EARNOUT PROPERTIES"; cumulatively, the Mack Earnout Properties and the Patriot
Earnout Properties shall hereinafter be referred to as the "EARNOUT PROPERTIES"
or individually as an "EARNOUT PROPERTY". The aggregate assumed annual base
rent (the "ASSUMED UNLEASED RENT") attributed by the parties to the Unleased
Space in each Earnout Property is shown in Column C on Schedule 3.1(a) (annexed
hereto). It shall be the sole responsibility of MACK to lease the Unleased
Space, and if the actual aggregate annual base rent from new leases for the
Unleased Space (the "EARNOUT RENT") entered into prior to Closing is less than
the Assumed Unleased Rent for any particular Earnout Property, then, at Closing,
Cali shall issue to MACK either, or all of the following: (i) contingent Common
Units ("CONTINGENT COMMON UNITS") in place of the Common Units shown in Column D
of Schedule 3.1(a) (annexed hereto), otherwise allocable to the Unleased Space
for each Earnout Property, or (ii) contingent Series A Preferred Units
("CONTINGENT SERIES A PREFERRED UNITS") in place of the Series A Preferred Units
shown in Column G of Schedule 3.1(a) (annexed hereto) otherwise allocable to the
Unleased Space for each Earnout Property, or (iii) Contingent Series B Preferred
Units ("CONTINGENT SERIES B PREFERRED UNITS") in place of the Series B Preferred
Units shown in Column F of Schedule 3.1(a) (annexed hereto) otherwise allocable
to the Unleased Space for each Earnout Property, all in accordance with the
formula set forth on Schedule 3.1(a)-A (hereinafter, the Contingent Common
Units, the Contingent Series A Preferred Units and the Contingent Series B
Preferred Units shall collectively be referred to as the "CONTINGENT UNITS").
(b) For the purposes of this First Amendment, the Earnout Rent
shall be equal to the lesser of the annual base rent for the first year of any
lease for the Unleased Space, or the average annual base rent over the term of
said lease.
(c) (i) Rents from new leases for the Unleased Space within
each Earnout Property shall qualify as Earnout Rent for the purposes of
triggering the redemption of Contingent Units for Common Units and/or Preferred
Units, as applicable, if (i) the new lease satisfies the minimum criteria set
forth on Schedule 3.1(c) annexed hereto, (ii) the tenant has commenced paying
the first month's rent under said new lease, and (iii) the new lease term has
commenced (the "REDEMPTION STANDARD"). The redemption of Contingent Units for
Common Units and/or Preferred Units, as is applicable, shall automatically occur
once the Redemption Standard has been met (the "REDEMPTION DATE"), in such
amounts as earned and on a pro-rata basis amongst all of the Unit Holders and
Preferred Unit Holders holding Contingent Units.
(ii) Subject to the provisions of clause (c)(iii) below, the
Common or Preferred Units issued upon the redemption of Contingent Units
pursuant to this Section 3 shall be entitled to all of the rights attributable
to said units including, without limitation, voting and distribution rights, as
of the Redemption Date. In any given calendar quarter in which Contingent Units
are redeemed for Common Units or Preferred Units, as applicable, such Common
Units and Preferred Units shall receive distributions on a pro-rata basis based
upon the number of days contained in said calendar quarter between the
Redemption Date (including the Redemption Date) and the subsequent Partnership
Record Date.
4
<PAGE>
(iii) The Contingent Units shall be subject to the same
restrictions, set forth in the Original Agreement, as the Common Units and/or
Preferred Units into which they are redeemable, and notwithstanding that the
Contingent Units shall not be redeemed until after Closing, for purposes of
calculation of the Holding Period only, the Holding Period for the Common Units
and/or Preferred Units received pursuant to the redemption of the Contingent
Units shall be deemed to commence on the Closing Date.
3.2 (a) For the period commencing immediately after the Closing and
ending two (2) years after the Closing (the "INITIAL REDEMPTION PERIOD"), the
Contingent Units allocated to any particular Earnout Property shall be
redeemable for Common Units and/or Preferred Units, as applicable, in accordance
with this Section 3 and the formula set forth on Schedule 3.2(a) (annexed
hereto).
(b) If new leases for the balance of the Unleased Space are not
entered into on or before the last day of the Initial Redemption Period, Cali,
at its option, shall either (i) extend (the "EXTENSION OPTION") the Initial
Redemption Period for an additional two (2) years (the "EXTENDED REDEMPTION
PERIOD"), or (ii) unless the parties otherwise agree on the value for the
Unleased Space, cause the Unleased Space to be appraised and issue Common Units
and/or Preferred Units, as applicable, in redemption of Contingent Units based
upon the appraised value of the balance of the Unleased Space ("APPRAISED
VALUE") in accordance with the formula set forth on Schedule 3.2(b) (annexed
hereto).
(c) The appraisal shall be conducted, and the Appraised Value
agreed upon, in accordance with the arbitration procedures set forth in Schedule
3.2(c) (annexed hereto).
(d) In the event that Cali elects its Extension Option and there
is Unleased Space remaining at the end of the Extended Redemption Period, Cali
shall redeem Contingent Units and grant MACK Common Units and/or Preferred
Units, as applicable, at the end of the Extended Redemption Period in accordance
with Sections 3.2(b)(ii) and 3.2(c) of this First Amendment.
3.3 The Contingent Units, if any, issued at Closing shall be
represented by certificates duly issued by CRLP, but shall not be entitled to
any economic, voting or other rights under the OP Agreement unless and until
they are redeemed for Common Units and/or Preferred Units, as applicable,
pursuant to the terms and conditions of this First Amendment.
3.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing formulas, Earnout Rent shall be
determined separately for the Mack Earnout Properties and the Patriot Earnout
Properties (each such group of properties being hereinafter referred to as a
"PORTFOLIO"), and over-achievement in one Earnout Property within a Portfolio
may be used to counter-balance under-achievement in another Earnout Property
within that particular Portfolio. Over-achievement within one Portfolio will
not counterbalance under-achievement in the other Portfolio.
5
<PAGE>
3.5 Under no circumstances shall MACK ever have the ability to redeem
Contingent Units for more than the maximum number of Common Units set forth in
Column D of Schedule 3.1(a) (annexed hereto) and/or Preferred Units set forth in
Column F or G of Schedule 3.1(a) (annexed hereto), on a Portfolio-by-Portfolio
basis.
3.6 With respect to the Patriot Earnout Properties, the Earnout Rent
will first be applied to the redemption of the Contingent Preferred Units (pro
rata between the Contingent Series A Preferred and the Contingent Series B
Preferred), and then, after all of the Contingent Preferred Units have been
redeemed, to the redemption of the Contingent Common Units.
4. AMENDMENTS TO SCHEDULES.

which are not material adverse environmental conditions (as such term is
described in Section 3.4(a) of the Original Agreement), to correct,
investigate, remediate and/or clean up said environmental conditions in
accordance with the terms, conditions and provisions of that certain agreement
by and among MACK, the MK Contributors, CRLP and Cali which is annexed hereto as
Schedule 16.1, and which is hereby deemed binding and effective upon MACK, the
MK Contributors, CRLP and Cali by the signing of this First Amendment.
17. MORTGAGES.
17.1 In accordance with Section 2.2 of the Original Agreement, the
parties hereto have agreed on which Mortgages CRLP shall be taking title subject
to (the "ASSUMED MORTGAGES"). The Assumed Mortgages, and their applicable
terms, are more specifically set forth in Schedule 17.1, annexed hereto (the
"DEBT SCHEDULE").
17.2 In order to induce CRLP and Cali to take title subject to the
Assumed Mortgage, MACK hereby warrants and represents that the Debt Schedule is
true, complete and correct in all material respects. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, to the extent that a Mortgagee shall certify in its estoppel
certificate as to any matters which are contained in the Debt Schedule, then
MACK's representation and warranty made in this Section 17.2 as to such matters
shall terminate.
18. METHOD OF CONTRIBUTION OF PROPERTY.
18.1 Section 1.3 of the Original Agreement is hereby amended to
designate said section as subsection "(a)" and adding a new subsection "(b)" as
follows:
"(b) In the event MACK desires to effectuate the Agreement by having
the Mack Entities contribute their Property to CRLP, then to the
extent such transfer is effectuated as provided for in Section 1.3(a),
such transfers shall be treated for all purposes as a contribution by
the Mack Entities of their respective Property and a distribution by
the Mack Entity of the Exchange Consideration it receives, from CRLP,
to its respective partners or members."

19. ESTOPPELS.
19.1 The Patriot Contributors hereby acknowledge that certain Estoppel

errors with regard to Tenants' options to acquire all or any portion of the
Property.
19.2 The Patriot Contributors hereby represent and warrant that except
as set forth in Schedule 5.1 to the Original Agreement, no Tenant, including but
not limited to Tetco, Inc., a tenant in the Exchange Property commonly referred
to as Tetco Towers, has any option to acquire all or any portion of the
Property.
19.3 The second sentence of Section 5.3 of the Original Agreement

Patriot Contributors deliver to Cali or CRLP a revised Estoppel Certificate
which corrects the errors referred to in Section 19.1 of this First Amendment.
20. POST-CLOSING ITEMS.
20.1 (a) The MK Contributors hereby covenant and agree that no later

20.2 The parties hereto hereby agree, that (i) Mack-Cali shall be
responsible for satisfying that portion of the NY Life Restructuring

Sheets, in the amount of eight million five-hundred and eight thousand
two-hundred and eighty-seven dollars ($8,508,287.00), and nothing else, and (ii)
the MK Contributors shall be responsible for satisfying all of the other terms
and conditions of the NY Life Restructuring contained in the NYL Term Sheets,

benefit of Mack-Cali.
20.3 With respect to the property commonly known as Mack Glendale or
Honeywell, located at 5551 West Talavi Blvd., Glendale, AZ, and which is
referenced in Schedule 1.1(a)(i) to the Original Agreement under the Mack

CRLP shall take fee ownership of the Parking Parcel at Closing in conjunction
with the assignment of partnership interest of Mack Glendale Limited Partnership
to CRLP, provided the MK Contributors shall indemnify and hold CRLP and Cali
harmless from any and all cost and expenses (including, but not limited to,
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) in the event that (A) any material
adverse environmental condition is found to exist on the Parking Parcel other
than as shown in the Phase I Environmental Report, written by Dames and Moore,
and dated September 18, 1997, a copy of which is annexed hereto as EXHIBIT
20.3-B, or (B) any defect in title exists which is not reflected in the Parking

transfer to the MK Contributors or their designee, the Parking Parcel, and the
MK Contributors hereby agree to accept such transfer (and pay all costs and
expenses associated therewith, including, but not limited to, all transfer taxes
and recording fees) and thereafter lease back the Parking Parcel to Mack
Glendale Limited Partnership, CRLP, or its affiliates, successors and assigns,
at a rate of ten dollars per ($10.00) year.

of any dispute or discrepancies as to the post-Closing items set forth in this
First Amendment shall be submitted for arbitration in accordance with the
provisions set forth in Schedule 3.2(c) annexed hereto.

and leasing commissions, any receivables and payables, Additional Rents and
Taxes.
21. TENANT IMPROVEMENT, RESTORATION AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS.
14
<PAGE>
21.1 (a) Schedules 5.1(m-l) and (m-2) to the Original Agreement are
hereby deleted in their entirety, and replaced with new versions of Schedules
5.1(m-1) and (m-2) annexed hereto as SCHEDULE 20.1-A. In addition, a new
Schedule 5.1(m-3) is hereby added to the Original Agreement, annexed hereto
as Schedule 20.1-B.
(b) Section 11.6 of the Original Agreement is hereby deleted in
its entirety, and replaced with the following:
"At the Closing, CRLP shall be credited with those unpaid leasing
commissions, tenant improvement obligations and other capital
expenditures related to Exchange Property and deemed "Total Patriot
Responsibility" on Schedule 5.1(m-1) annexed hereto, in the amount of
$1,295,059.67 (the "PATRIOT IMPROVEMENT OBLIGATIONS COST"), and which
are the obligations of MACK. Those unpaid leasing commissions, tenant
improvement obligations and other capital expenditures related to
Exchange Property and deemed "Total Mack Responsibility" on Schedule
5.1(m-1), in the amount of $5,713,234.62 (the "MACK IMPROVEMENT
OBLIGATIONS COST"), and which are the obligations of MACK shall be
assumed by CRLP subject to the terms and conditions of Section 13 of
this Agreement."
(c) The last sentence of Section 13.1 is hereby deleted in its
entirety and replaced with the following:
"CRLP shall receive a credit at Closing pursuant to Section 11.6
of this Agreement for the Patriot Improvement Obligations Cost, and
the performance and/or satisfaction of the leasing commissions,
tenant improvement obligations, capital expenditures and other
costs related to the Patriot Improvement Obligations Cost shall be
the post-closing obligation of Mack-Cali. CRLP shall not receive a
credit at Closing for the Mack Improvement Obligations Cost,
nonetheless, except as set forth herein, the performance and/or
satisfaction of the leasing commissions, tenant improvement
obligations, capital expenditures and other costs related to the
Mack Improvement Obligations Cost shall be the post-closing
obligation of Mack-Cali; provided, however, that in consideration
for CRLP agreeing to forgo a credit at Closing for the Mack
Improvement Obligations Cost, the MK Contributors hereby agree to (i)
pay directly $2,153,538.97 of such Mack Improvement Obligations
Cost as set forth on Schedule 5.1(m-3) on or before March 15, 1998,
and (ii) repay to CRLP after Closing, the remaining $3,559,695.65
of such Mack Improvement Obligations Cost, in thirty-six (36) equal
monthly installments (due and payable on the first day of each
month, commencing January 1, 1998), and which shall bear interest
at a rate of seven percent (7%) per annum on the remaining balance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall CRLP be obligated
to expend, at any given time, in order to satisfy the Mack
Improvement Obligations Cost, more than the MK
15
<PAGE>
Contributors have, up to that time, re-paid to CRLP, excluding
interest. In the event CRLP expends more than the MK Contributors
have re-paid, at any given time, then the MK Contributors shall, upon
ten (10) days' notice remit to CRLP that amount (not to exceed the
unpaid balance of the Mack Improvement Obligations Cost) which CRLP
has paid in excess of the amount received from the MK Contributors and
the amount of each monthly payment to be made thereafter pursuant to
this Section 21(c) shall be re-calculated in accordance with the
formula set forth on SCHEDULE 21.1(C)."
21.2 MACK and the MK Contributors hereby acknowledge and agree that
they are responsible for completing the restoration and subsequent build-out of
the Phelan Property, in the amounts of (i) five million dollars ($5,000,000.00)
for the restoration, and (ii) two million five-hundred thousand dollars
($2,500,000.00) for the subsequent build-outs. MACK and the MK Contributors
hereby agree that it shall promptly complete said restoration and build-outs in
a manner conforming to other Class A office buildings in San Francisco,
California and otherwise acceptable to Mack-Cali.

___________________________________________
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION
OF
SERIES A PREFERRED
OPERATING PARTNERSHIP UNITS
OF
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST
OF
MACK-CALI REALTY, L.P.
____________________________________________
Series A Preferred Units
A series of 27,132 operating partnership units of Preferred Limited
Partnership Interests, par value $0.001 per unit, of Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. (the
"Company") shall be created and be designated "Series A Preferred Units" having
the following rights and preferences:
DESIGNATION OF SERIES A PREFERRED UNITS. The rights, preferences,
powers, privileges and restrictions, qualifications and limitations granted to
or imposed upon the Series A Preferred Units (referred to hereinafter sometimes
as the "Designations") shall be as set forth below. The Company may issue the
Series B Preferred Units pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of even date
herewith ("Series B Preferred Units") and, subject to the limitations set forth
below, other additional series of Preferred Units whose rights, preferences,
powers, privileges and restrictions, qualifications and limitations regarding
Distributions (as hereinafter defined) and/or liquidation that are either
subordinate to, or pari passu with, the Designations of the Series A Preferred
Units; Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings set forth in the Company Partnership Agreement, dated as of August 31,
1994, as amended as of January 16, 1997 and December 11, 1997 (the "Partnership
Agreement"). The Partnership Agreement is on file at the principal place of
business of the Company and copies will be made available on request and without
cost to any unit holder of the Company so requesting.
1. Stated Value. The stated value of the Series A Preferred
Units shall be one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per unit (the "Stated Value").
2. Distributions.
<PAGE>
(a) Subject to Section 2(b) below, commencing from the date of
initial issuance of units of Series A Preferred Units (the "Date of
Issuance"), distributions (the "Distributions") on each unit of Series A
Preferred Units shall be payable in arrears quarterly, in an amount equal to
the greater of: (i) $16.875 or (ii) the quarterly distribution attributable
to a unit of Series A Preferred Units if such unit had been converted into
Common Units (as hereinafter defined), pursuant to Section 4 hereof;
provided, however, that the Distribution to be made on Series A Preferred
Units on the Distribution Payment Date (as defined below) immediately
following the Date of Issuance shall be made on a pro rata basis based upon
the number of days during that calendar quarter preceding that initial
Distribution Payment Date that Series A Preferred Units were held by any
holder. The Distributions shall be declared and payable whenever
distributions on the Common Units are declared and paid but no less
frequently than approximately once every three months (a "Distribution
Payment Date"). If on any Distribution Payment Date the Company shall not be
lawfully permitted under Delaware law to pay all or a portion of any such
declared Distributions, the Company shall take such action as may be lawfully
permitted in order to enable the Company to the extent permitted by Delaware
law, lawfully to pay such Distributions. Distributions shall be cumulative
from the Date of Issuance, whether or not in any Distribution period such
Distribution shall be declared or there shall be funds of the Company legally
available for payment of such Distributions. No Distributions shall be
declared or paid on any class of Common Units or any other class or series of
Preferred Units, other than Distributions declared and paid on the Series B
Preferred Units and, subject to the limitations set forth in Section
6(b)(ii), such series of Preferred Units which, by the terms of such series
Certificate of Designation, have rights, preferences, powers, privileges and
restrictions, qualifications and limitations that are pari passu with the
Series A Preferred Units (such Preferred Units hereinafter referred to as
"Qualifying Preferred Units"), until all Distributions, if any, due and
legally payable on the Series A Preferred Units have been paid to the holders
of such units. The record date for the payment of Distributions on the
Series A Preferred Units shall be the day immediately prior to each such
Distribution Payment Date.
(b) For purposes of this Certificate of Designation "Business Day"
shall mean any day, excluding Saturday, Sunday and any other day on which
commercial banks in New York are authorized or required by law to close.
3. Liquidation. The Series A Preferred Units shall be preferred
as to assets over any class of Common Units or other class of preferred units
of the Company, other than Qualifying Preferred Units, such that in the event
of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company, the holders of the Series A Preferred Units shall be entitled to
have set apart for them, or to be paid out of the assets of the Company,
before any distribution is made to or set apart for the holders of the Common
Units or other series of preferred units or any other capital interest
heretofore or hereafter issued, other than Qualifying Preferred Units, an
amount in cash equal to the Stated Value per unit plus any "Accrued
Distributions" (as defined below) as of such date of payment. "Accrued
Distributions" shall mean, as of any date of determination, an amount equal
to the amount of Distributions, determined at the rate fixed for the payment
of distributions on the Series A Preferred Units on such date as provided in
Section 2 hereof which would be paid on the Series A Preferred Units for the
period of time elapsed from the most recent
2
<PAGE>
actual Distribution Payment Date to the date of determination; provided,
however, Accrued Distributions shall not include any amounts applicable to
any time period from the last regular Distribution Payment Date to the date
of determination unless the date of determination is a Distribution Payment
Date. If the assets or surplus funds to be distributed to the holders of the
Series A Preferred Units are insufficient to permit the payment to such
holders of their full preferential amount, the assets and surplus funds
legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the
holders of the Series A Preferred Units in proportion to the full
preferential amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive.
4. Conversion of Series A Preferred Units.
The holders of Series A Preferred Units shall have the
following conversion rights:
(i) Optional Right to Convert. Each share of Series A
Preferred Units shall be convertible, at any time (with such date being
referred to as the "Conversion Date") and at the Conversion Price set forth
below, into fully paid and nonassessable of common units of limited partner
interests of the Company ("Common Units"), at the option of the holder as set
forth below ("Optional Conversion").
(ii) Mechanics of Conversion. Each holder of Series A
Preferred Units who desires to convert the same into shares of Common Units
shall provide notice to the Company in the form of the Notice of Conversion
attached to this Certificate of Designation agreement pursuant to which the
Series A Preferred Units were issued (a "Conversion Notice") via telecopy,
hand delivery or other mail or messenger service. The original Conversion
Notice and the certificate or certificates representing the Series A
Preferred Units for which conversion is elected, shall be delivered to the
Company by nationally recognized courier, duly endorsed. The date upon which
a Conversion Notice is initially received by the Company shall be a "Notice
Date."
The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to issue and deliver
within three (3) Business Days after the Notice Date, to such holder of
Series A Preferred Units at the address of the holder on the books of the
Company, (i) a certificate or certificates for the number of Common Units to
which the holder shall be entitled as set forth herein, and (ii) if the
Series A Preferred Units represented by this certificate have been converted
only in part, a new certificate evidencing the Series A Preferred Units not
subject to the conversion; provided that the original certificates
representing the Series A Preferred Units to be converted are received by the
transfer agent or the Company within three Business Days after the Notice
Date and the person or persons entitled to receive the Common Units issuable
upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder
or holders of such shares of Common Units on such date such original
certificates are received. If the original certificates representing the
Series A Preferred Units to be converted are not received by the transfer
agent or the Company within three Business Days after the Notice Date, the
Conversion Notice shall become null and void.
3
<PAGE>
(iii) Conversion Price. Each unit of Series A
Preferred Units shall be convertible into a number of Common Units or
fraction of Common Units obtained pursuant to the following formula (the
"Conversion Formula"):
Redemption Price
----------------
Conversion Price
where:
Redemption for each unit of Series A Preferred Units
Price = for which conversion is being elected, such
unit's Stated Value, plus any Accrued
Distributions;
Conversion
Price = $34.65
(iv) Mandatory Conversion. At any time following the
seven year six month anniversary of the date hereof (the "Mandatory
Conversion Period"), the Company may cause the conversion (a "Mandatory
Conversion") of the Series A Preferred Units outstanding during the Mandatory
Conversion Period into Common Units pursuant to the Conversion Formula, as
set forth above; provided, however, that no such Mandatory Conversion may
occur unless for any twenty (20) trading day period, within the thirty (30)
consecutive trading day period immediately preceding the Mandatory Conversion
Date (as hereinafter defined), the closing price of Common Stock (as
hereinafter defined), as reported daily in the Wall Street Journal, equals or
exceeds $34.65 (subject to adjustment pursuant to Subsection (vii) below) for
each such day; provided, further, that no Mandatory Conversion may be
effective with a Mandatory Conversion Date during the time between the record
date for Distributions and the Distribution Payment Date for such record date.
To effect a Mandatory Conversion, the Company shall issue to each
holder of record a notice stating that the Company is effecting a Mandatory
Conversion with regard to the Series A Preferred Units. Such notice shall
contain a statement indicating the number of units of Series A Preferred
Units subject to the Mandatory Conversion, and if less than all outstanding
Series A Preferred Units are being so converted, the percentage of units of
Series A Preferred Units held by each holder subject to the Mandatory
Conversion. Unless otherwise agreed to by the holders of Series A Preferred
Units and the Company, any such Mandatory Conversion shall be exercised by
the Company on a pro rata basis among all holders of Series A Preferred Units
and all holders of Series B Preferred Units. On the Mandatory Conversion
Date, the certificates representing each of the Series A Preferred Units
outstanding shall automatically, with no further action required by any
holder or the Company, represent the number of Common Units of such holder,
and such Series A Preferred Units remaining if less than all outstanding
units of Series A Preferred Units were so converted, for which each Series A
Preferred Unit was converted in accordance with this Section 4(iv). As
promptly as practicable after the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Company
shall issue and shall deliver to the holders of Series A Preferred Units
subject to the Mandatory Conversion (i) a certificate representing the number
of Common Units to which
4
<PAGE>
the Series A Preferred Units were converted in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 4(v) and (ii) if less than all outstanding Series A Preferred
Units were so converted, upon submission to the Company of the certificate or
certificates representing the Series A Preferred Units held by such holder
immediately prior to the Mandatory Conversion, a new certificate evidencing
the Series A Preferred Units held by such holder immediately following the
Mandatory Conversion (until such time as such certificate or certificates are
submitted to the Company, the certificate or certificates representing the
Series A Preferred Units held by a holder immediately prior to the Mandatory
Conversion shall be deemed to represent the number of Series A Preferred
Units held by such holder immediately following the Mandatory Conversion).
Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the opening of
business on the date the notice was sent by the Company to the holders of
record of Series A Preferred Units (the "Mandatory Conversion Date"), and at
such time the rights of the holder as holder of the converted Series A
Preferred Units shall cease and the person or persons in whose name or names
any certificate or certificates for Common Units shall be issuable upon such
Mandatory Conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of
record of the Common Units represented thereby.
(v) Reservation of Common Units Issuable Upon Conversion.
The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized but unissued units of Common Units, solely for the purpose of
effecting the conversion of the Series A Preferred Units, such number of its
units of Common Units as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the
conversion of all then outstanding Series A Preferred Units; and if at any
time the number of authorized but unissued units of Common Units shall not be
sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding Series A
Preferred Units, the Company will take such action as may be necessary to
increase its authorized but unissued units of Common Units to such number of
units as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
(vi) Adjustment to Conversion Price.
(a) If, prior to the conversion of all shares of Series A
Preferred Units, the number of outstanding units of Common Units is increased
by a unit split or other similar event, the Conversion Price shall be
proportionately reduced, or if the number of outstanding Common Units is
decreased by a combination or reclassification of units, or other similar
event, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased.
(b) If prior to the conversion of all shares of Series A
Preferred Units, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of units,
recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of
which Common Units of the Company shall be changed into the same or a
different number of securities of the same or another class or classes of
units or securities of the Company or another entity, then the holders of
Series A Preferred Units shall thereafter have the right to purchase and
receive upon conversion of units of Series A Preferred Units, upon the basis
and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the Common
Units immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such units and/or
securities as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the
number of Common Units immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable
upon the conversion of units
5
<PAGE>
of Series A Preferred Units held by such holders had such merger,
consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization or reorganization not
taken place, and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with
respect to the rights and interest of the holders of the Series A Preferred
Units to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation,
provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of Common
Units issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Units) shall
thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any
units or securities thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. The
Company shall not effect any transaction described in this subsection unless
the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Company) assumes by
written instrument the obligation to deliver to the holders of the Series A
Preferred Units such units and/or securities as, in accordance with the
foregoing provisions, the holders of the Series A Preferred Units may be
entitled to receive upon conversion thereof.
(c) If any adjustment under this subsection would create
a fractional unit of Common Units or a right to acquire a fractional unit of
Common Units, such fractional units shall be issued.
D. Status of Converted Units. In the event any Series A
Preferred Units shall be converted as contemplated by this Certificate of
Designation, the units so converted shall be canceled, and shall not be
issuable by the Company as Series A Preferred Units.
E. Distributions on Converted Units. All distributions to be
made with respect to Common Units received pursuant to an Optional Conversion
of Series A Preferred Units or a Mandatory Conversion of Series A Preferred
Units shall be determined as if the Common Units were received on the first
Business Day following the date of the last regular distribution made with
respect to the Common Units (i.e. the holders of the Common Units received
upon conversion shall be entitled to the full quarterly distribution with
respect to such Common Units); provided, however, that in the case of a
Mandatory Conversion, if such Mandatory Conversion occurs on a date other
than a Distribution Payment Date, on the Distribution Payment Date
immediately following the Mandatory Conversion, the holder of Common Units
received pursuant to such Mandatory Conversion shall receive a distribution
equal to the greater of (i) the distribution to be received by holders of
Common Units on such date (the "Common Unit Distribution") and (ii) the sum
of (A) the Distribution multiplied by the quotient obtained by dividing (1)
the number of days elapsed between the previous Distribution Payment Date and
the Mandatory Conversion Date by (2) the total number of days elapsed between
the previous Distribution Payment Date and the then current Distribution
Payment Date (the "Total Conversion Period Days") and (B) the Common Unit
Distribution multiplied by the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the number
of days elapsed between the Mandatory Conversion Date and the then current
Distribution Payment Date by (2) the Total Conversion Period Days.
5. No Reissuance. Any shares of Series A Preferred Units
exchanged, redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company in any
manner whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly after the
acquisition thereof.
6
<PAGE>
6. Voting Rights. (a) Except as otherwise specifically provided
by the Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of Delaware or as
otherwise provided herein, the holders of Series A Preferred Units shall be
entitled to vote on any matters required or permitted to be submitted to the
holders of Common Units for their approval, and such holders of Series A
Preferred Units and holders of Common Units shall vote as a single class with
the holders of Series A Preferred Units having the number of votes to which
they would be entitled if the Series A Preferred Units were converted into
Common Units, in accordance with the Conversion Formula.
(b) The Company shall not, without the affirmative consent of
the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of then
outstanding units of the Series B Preferred Units (without the need for
consent of the holders of Series A Preferred Units):
(i) increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the
total number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Units;
(ii) in any manner authorize, create or issue any
additional preferred units or any class or series of capital interests, in
either case (A) ranking, either as to payment of distributions or
distribution of assets, equal or prior to, the Series A Preferred Units or
(B) which in any manner adversely affects the holders of units of Series A
Preferred Units, or authorize, create or issue any capital interests of any
class or series or any bonds, debentures, notes or other obligations
convertible into or exchangeable for, or having optional rights to purchase,
any capital interests having any such preference or priority or so adversely
affecting the holders of Series A Preferred Units; provided, however, that

shall not be required for issuances of Qualifying Preferred Units in an
aggregate amount of less than the greater of (1) $200,000,000 in stated value
and (2) ten percent (10%) of the sum of (A) the product obtained by

of Common Stock, including all Common Units and shares of Common Stock

are not convertible into Common Stock, Common Units, or any security which is
ultimately convertible into Common Stock or Common Units;
(iii) in any manner alter or change the designations
or the powers, preferences or rights, or the qualifications, limitations or
restrictions of the Series A Preferred Units; and
(iv) reclassify the Common Units or any other units of any
class or series of capital interests hereafter created junior to the Series A
Preferred Units into capitalization of any class or series of capital
interests (A) ranking, either as to payment of

SERIES B PREFERRED
OPERATING PARTNERSHIP UNITS
OF
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST
OF
MACK-CALI REALTY, L.P.
___________________________________________
Series B Preferred Units
A series of 223,124 operating partnership units of Preferred Limited
Partnership Interests, par value $0.001 per unit, of Mack-Cali Realty, L.P.
(the "Company") shall be created and be designated "Series B Preferred Units"
having the following rights and preferences:
DESIGNATION OF SERIES B PREFERRED UNITS. The rights, preferences,
powers, privileges and restrictions, qualifications and limitations granted
to or imposed upon the Series B Preferred Units (referred to hereinafter
sometimes as the "Designations") shall be as set forth below. The Company
may issue the Series A Preferred Units pursuant to the Certificate of
Designation of even date herewith ("Series A Preferred Units") and, subject
to the limitations set forth below, other additional series of Preferred
Units whose rights, preferences, powers, privileges and restrictions,
qualifications and limitations regarding Distributions (as hereinafter
defined) and/or liquidation that are either subordinate to, or pari passu
with, the Designations of the Series B Preferred Units; Capitalized terms
used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in
the Company Partnership Agreement, dated as of August 31, 1994, as amended as
of January 16, 1997 and December 11, 1997 (the "Partnership Agreement"). The
Partnership Agreement is on file at the principal place of business of the
Company and copies will be made available on request and without cost to any
unit holder of the Company so requesting.
1. Stated Value. The stated value of the Series B Preferred Units shall
be one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per unit (the "Stated Value").
2. Distributions.
<PAGE>
(a) Subject to Section 2(b) below, commencing from the date of initial
issuance of units of Series B Preferred Units (the "Date of Issuance"),
distributions (the "Distributions") on each unit of Series B Preferred Units
shall be payable in arrears quarterly, in an amount equal to the greater of: (i)
$16.875 or (ii) the quarterly distribution attributable to a unit of Series B
Preferred Units if such unit had been converted into Common Units (as
hereinafter defined), pursuant to Section 4 hereof; provided, however, that the
Distribution to be made on Series B Preferred Units on the Distribution Payment
Date (as defined below) immediately following the Date of Issuance shall be made
on a pro rata basis based upon the number of days during that calendar quarter
preceding that initial Distribution Payment Date that Series B Preferred Units
were held by any holder. The Distributions shall be declared and payable
whenever distributions on the Common Units are declared and paid but no less
frequently than approximately once every three months (a "Distribution Payment
Date"). If on any Distribution Payment Date the Company shall not be lawfully
permitted under Delaware law to pay all or a portion of any such declared
Distributions, the Company shall take such action as may be lawfully permitted
in order to enable the Company to the extent permitted by Delaware law, lawfully
to pay such Distributions. Distributions shall be cumulative from the Date of
Issuance, whether or not in any Distribution period such Distribution shall be
declared or there shall be funds of the Company legally available for payment of
such Distributions. No Distributions shall be declared or paid on any class of
Common Units or any other class or series of Preferred Units, other than
Distributions declared and paid on the Series A Preferred Units and, subject to
the limitations set forth in Section 6(b)(ii), such series of Preferred Units
which, by the terms of such series Certificate of Designation, have rights,
preferences, powers, privileges and restrictions, qualifications and limitations
that are pari passu with the Series B Preferred Units (such Preferred Units
hereinafter referred to as "Qualifying Preferred Units"), until all
Distributions, if any, due and legally payable on the Series B Preferred Units
have been paid to the holders of such units. The record date for the payment of
Distributions on the Series B Preferred Units shall be the day immediately prior
to each such Distribution Payment Date.
(b) For purposes of this Certificate of Designation "Business Day" shall
mean any day, excluding Saturday, Sunday and any other day on which commercial
banks in New York are authorized or required by law to close.
3. Liquidation. The Series B Preferred Units shall be preferred as to
assets over any class of Common Units or other class of preferred units of
the Company, other than Qualifying Preferred Units, such that in the event of
the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company, the holders of the Series B Preferred Units shall be entitled to
have set apart for them, or to be paid out of the assets of the Company,
before any distribution is made to or set apart for the holders of the Common
Units or other series of preferred units or any other capital interest
heretofore or hereafter issued, other than Qualifying Preferred Units, an
amount in cash equal to the Stated Value per unit plus any "Accrued
Distributions" (as defined below) as of such date of payment. "Accrued
Distributions" shall mean, as of any date of determination, an amount equal
to the amount of Distributions, determined at the rate fixed for the payment
of distributions on the Series B Preferred Units on such date as provided in
Section 2 hereof which would be paid on the Series B Preferred Units for the
period of time elapsed from the most recent
2
<PAGE>
actual Distribution Payment Date to the date of determination; provided,
however, Accrued Distributions shall not include any amounts applicable to
any time period from the last regular Distribution Payment Date to the date
of determination unless the date of determination is a Distribution Payment
Date. If the assets or surplus funds to be distributed to the holders of the
Series B Preferred Units are insufficient to permit the payment to such
holders of their full preferential amount, the assets and surplus funds
legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the
holders of the Series B Preferred Units in proportion to the full
preferential amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive.
4. Conversion of Series B Preferred Units.
The holders of Series B Preferred Units shall have the following conversion
rights:
(i) Optional Right to Convert. Each share of Series B
Preferred Units shall be convertible, at any time (with such date being
referred to as the "Conversion Date") and at the Conversion Price set forth
below, into fully paid and nonassessable of common units of limited partner
interests of the Company ("Common Units"), at the option of the holder as set
forth below ("Optional Conversion").
(ii) Mechanics of Conversion. Each holder of Series B
Preferred Units who desires to convert the same into shares of Common Units
shall provide notice to the Company in the form of the Notice of Conversion
attached to this Certificate of Designation agreement pursuant to which the
Series B Preferred Units were issued (a "Conversion Notice") via telecopy,
hand delivery or other mail or messenger service. The original Conversion
Notice and the certificate or certificates representing the Series B
Preferred Units for which conversion is elected, shall be delivered to the
Company by nationally recognized courier, duly endorsed. The date upon which
a Conversion Notice is initially received by the Company shall be a "Notice
Date."
The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to issue and deliver within
three (3) Business Days after the Notice Date, to such holder of Series B
Preferred Units at the address of the holder on the books of the Company, (i)
a certificate or certificates for the number of Common Units to which the
holder shall be entitled as set forth herein, and (ii) if the Series B
Preferred Units represented by this certificate have been converted only in
part, a new certificate evidencing the Series B Preferred Units not subject
to the conversion; provided that the original certificates representing the
Series B Preferred Units to be converted are received by the transfer agent
or the Company within three Business Days after the Notice Date and the
person or persons entitled to receive the Common Units issuable upon such
conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders
of such shares of Common Units on such date such original certificates are
received. If the original certificates representing the Series B Preferred
Units to be converted are not received by the transfer agent or the Company
within three Business Days after the Notice Date, the Conversion Notice shall
become null and void.
3
<PAGE>
(iii) Conversion Price. Each unit of Series B Preferred
Units shall be convertible into a number of Common Units or fraction of Common
Units obtained pursuant to the following formula (the "Conversion Formula"):
Redemption Price
------------------
Conversion Price
where:
Redemption for each unit of Series B Preferred Units for which
Price = conversion is being elected, such unit's Stated
Value, plus any Accrued Distributions;
Conversion
Price = $34.65
(iv) Mandatory Conversion. At any time following the seven
year six month anniversary of the date hereof (the "Mandatory Conversion
Period"), the Company may cause the conversion (a "Mandatory Conversion") of
the Series B Preferred Units outstanding during the Mandatory Conversion
Period into Common Units pursuant to the Conversion Formula, as set forth
above; provided, however, that no such Mandatory Conversion may occur unless
for any twenty (20) trading day period, within the thirty (30) consecutive
trading day period immediately preceding the Mandatory Conversion Date (as
hereinafter defined), the closing price of Common Stock (as hereinafter
defined), as reported daily in the Wall Street Journal, equals or exceeds
$34.65 (subject to adjustment pursuant to Subsection (vii) below) for each
such day; provided, further, that no Mandatory Conversion may be effective
with a Mandatory Conversion Date during the time between the record date for
Distributions and the Distribution Payment Date for such record date.
To effect a Mandatory Conversion, the Company shall issue to each holder
of record a notice stating that the Company is effecting a Mandatory
Conversion with regard to the Series B Preferred Units. Such notice shall
contain a statement indicating the number of units of Series B Preferred
Units subject to the Mandatory Conversion, and if less than all outstanding
Series B Preferred Units are being so converted, the percentage of units of
Series B Preferred Units held by each holder subject to the Mandatory
Conversion. Unless otherwise agreed to by the holders of Series B Preferred
Units and the Company, any such Mandatory Conversion shall be exercised by
the Company on a pro rata basis among all holders of Series B Preferred Units
and all holders of Series A Preferred Units. On the Mandatory Conversion
Date, the certificates representing each of the Series B Preferred Units
outstanding shall automatically, with no further action required by any
holder or the Company, represent the number of Common Units of such holder,
and such Series B Preferred Units remaining if less than all outstanding
units of Series B Preferred Units were so converted, for which each Series B
Preferred Unit was converted in accordance with this Section 4(iv). As
promptly as practicable after the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Company
shall issue and shall deliver to the holders of Series B Preferred Units
subject to the Mandatory Conversion (i) a certificate representing the number
of Common Units to which
4
<PAGE>
the Series B Preferred Units were converted in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 4(v) and (ii) if less than all outstanding Series B Preferred
Units were so converted, upon submission to the Company of the certificate or
certificates representing the Series B Preferred Units held by such holder
immediately prior to the Mandatory Conversion, a new certificate evidencing
the Series B Preferred Units held by such holder immediately following the
Mandatory Conversion (until such time as such certificate or certificates are
submitted to the Company, the certificate or certificates representing the
Series B Preferred Units held by a holder immediately prior to the Mandatory
Conversion shall be deemed to represent the number of Series B Preferred
Units held by such holder immediately following the Mandatory Conversion).
Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the opening of
business on the date the notice was sent by the Company to the holders of
record of Series B Preferred Units (the "Mandatory Conversion Date"), and at
such time the rights of the holder as holder of the converted Series B
Preferred Units shall cease and the person or persons in whose name or names
any certificate or certificates for Common Units shall be issuable upon such
Mandatory Conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of
record of the Common Units represented thereby.
(v) Reservation of Common Units Issuable Upon Conversion.
The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized but unissued units of Common Units, solely for the purpose of
effecting the conversion of the Series B Preferred Units, such number of its
units of Common Units as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the
conversion of all then outstanding Series B Preferred Units; and if at any
time the number of authorized but unissued units of Common Units shall not be
sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding Series B
Preferred Units, the Company will take such action as may be necessary to
increase its authorized but unissued units of Common Units to such number of
units as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
(vi) Adjustment to Conversion Price.
(a) If, prior to the conversion of all shares of
Series B Preferred Units, the number of outstanding units of Common Units is
increased by a unit split or other similar event, the Conversion Price shall
be proportionately reduced, or if the number of outstanding Common Units is
decreased by a combination or reclassification of units, or other similar
event, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased.
(b) If prior to the conversion of all shares of Series
B Preferred Units, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of
units, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result
of which Common Units of the Company shall be changed into the same or a
different number of securities of the same or another class or classes of
units or securities of the Company or another entity, then the holders of
Series B Preferred Units shall thereafter have the right to purchase and
receive upon conversion of units of Series B Preferred Units, upon the basis
and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the Common
Units immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such units and/or
securities as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the
number of Common Units immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable
upon the conversion of units
5
<PAGE>
of Series B Preferred Units held by such holders had such merger,
consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization or reorganization not
taken place, and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with
respect to the rights and interest of the holders of the Series B Preferred
Units to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation,
provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of Common
Units issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Units) shall
thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any
units or securities thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. The
Company shall not effect any transaction described in this subsection unless
the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Company) assumes by
written instrument the obligation to deliver to the holders of the Series B
Preferred Units such units and/or securities as, in accordance with the
foregoing provisions, the holders of the Series B Preferred Units may be
entitled to receive upon conversion thereof.
(c) If any adjustment under this subsection would
create a fractional unit of Common Units or a right to acquire a fractional
unit of Common Units, such fractional units shall be issued.
D. Status of Converted Units. In the event any Series B
Preferred Units shall be converted as contemplated by this Certificate of
Designation, the units so converted shall be canceled, and shall not be
issuable by the Company as Series B Preferred Units.
E. Distributions on Converted Units. All distributions to be
made with respect to Common Units received pursuant to an Optional Conversion
of Series B Preferred Units or a Mandatory Conversion of Series B Preferred
Units shall be determined as if the Common Units were received on the first
Business Day following the date of the last regular distribution made with
respect to the Common Units (i.e. the holders of the Common Units received
upon conversion shall be entitled to the full quarterly distribution with
respect to such Common Units); provided, however, that in the case of a
Mandatory Conversion, if such Mandatory Conversion occurs on a date other
than a Distribution Payment Date, on the Distribution Payment Date
immediately following the Mandatory Conversion, the holder of Common Units
received pursuant to such Mandatory Conversion shall receive a distribution
equal to the greater of (i) the distribution to be received by holders of
Common Units on such date (the "Common Unit Distribution") and (ii) the sum
of (A) the Distribution multiplied by the quotient obtained by dividing (1)
the number of days elapsed between the previous Distribution Payment Date and
the Mandatory Conversion Date by (2) the total number of days elapsed between
the previous Distribution Payment Date and the then current Distribution
Payment Date (the "Total Conversion Period Days") and (B) the Common Unit
Distribution multiplied by the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the number
of days elapsed between the Mandatory Conversion Date and the then current
Distribution Payment Date by (2) the Total Conversion Period Days.
5. No Reissuance. Any shares of Series B Preferred Units exchanged,
redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company in any manner
whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly after the acquisition
thereof.
6
<PAGE>
6. Voting Rights. (a) Except as otherwise specifically provided by the
Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of Delaware or as otherwise
provided herein, the holders of Series B Preferred Units shall be entitled to
vote on any matters required or permitted to be submitted to the holders of
Common Units for their approval, and such holders of Series B Preferred Units
and holders of Common Units shall vote as a single class with the holders of
Series B Preferred Units having the number of votes to which they would be
entitled if the Series B Preferred Units were converted into Common Units, in
accordance with the Conversion Formula.
(b) The Company shall not, without the affirmative consent of the
holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of then
outstanding units of the Series B Preferred Units:
(i) increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the total
number of authorized shares of Series B Preferred Units;
(ii) in any manner authorize, create or issue any additional
preferred units or any class or series of capital interests, in either case (A)
ranking, either as to payment of distributions or distribution of assets, equal
or prior to, the Series B Preferred Units or (B) which in any manner adversely
affects the holders of units of Series B Preferred Units, or authorize, create
or issue any capital interests of any class or series or any bonds, debentures,
notes or other obligations convertible into or exchangeable for, or having
optional rights to purchase, any capital interests having any such preference or
priority or so adversely affecting the holders of Series B Preferred Units;
provided, however, that the affirmative consent of the holders of at least
sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the outstanding units of the
Series B Preferred Units shall not be required for issuances of Qualifying
Preferred Units in an aggregate amount of less than the greater of (1)
$200,000,000 in stated value and (2) ten percent (10%) of the sum of (A) the
product obtained by multiplying (x) the average trading price of Common Stock
(as reported daily in the Wall Street Journal) for the five (5) trading days
immediately preceding the date of issuance of such Qualifying Preferred Stock,
times (y) the total number of the then issued and outstanding Common Units and
shares of Common Stock, including all Common Units and shares of Common Stock
underlying all outstanding preferred stock, preferred units and convertible
debt, which by their respective terms are convertible into either Common Units
or Common Stock and (B) the aggregate value of the liquidation preference
underlying any then outstanding shares of preferred stock of MC Corp. (as
hereinafter defined) which, by the terms of such preferred stock, are not
convertible into Common Stock, Common Units, or any security which is ultimately
convertible into Common Stock or Common Units;
(iii) in any manner alter or change the designations or the
powers, preferences or rights, or the qualifications, limitations or
restrictions of the Series B Preferred Units; and
(iv) reclassify the Common Units or any other units of any class
or series of capital interests hereafter created junior to the Series B
Preferred Units into capitalization of any class or series of capital interests
(A) ranking, either as to payment of
7
<PAGE>
dividends or distribution of assets equal or prior to the Series B Preferred
Units, or (B) which in any manner adversely affects the holders of Series B
Preferred Units.
7. Notice of Certain Events. If at any time, to the extent permitted
hereunder the Company and/or Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, a Maryland
corporation ("MC Corp.") proposes:
(a) to pay any distribution or dividend payable in securities (of
any class or classes) or any obligations, stock or units convertible into

"Rights Distribution");

the terms hereof, the Company shall issue and shall deliver to the holders of
the Contingent Non-Participating Common Units subject to the conversion (i) a
certificate representing the number of Common Units to which the Contingent
Non-Participating Common Units were converted in accordance with the terms
hereof and (ii) if less than all outstanding Contingent Non-Participating
Common Units were so converted, upon submission to the Company of the
certificate or certificates representing the Contingent Non-Participating
Common Units held by such holder immediately prior to the conversion, a new
certificate evidencing the Contingent Non-Participating Common Units held by
such holder immediately following the conversion (until such time as such
certificate or certificates are submitted to the Company, the certificate or
certificates representing the Contingent Non-Participating Common Units held
by a holder immediately prior to the conversion shall be deemed to represent
the number of Contingent Non-Participating Common Units held by such holder
immediately following the conversion). Common Units received pursuant to
conversion shall be deemed to have been issued and the holder or any other
person so designated shall be deemed for all purposes (other than with
respect to the Initial Distribution) to have become a holder of record of
such Common Units as of the date hereof.
(iii) Reservation of Common Units Issuable Upon
Conversion. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of
its authorized but unissued Common Units, solely for

sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding Contingent
Non-Participating Common Unit and if at any time the number of authorized but
unissued Common Units shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all
then outstanding Contingent Non-Participating Common Units, the Company will
take such action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued
Common Units to such number as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
D. Status of Converted Units. In the event any
Contingent Non-Participating Common Units shall be converted as contemplated
by this Certificate of Designation, the units so converted shall be canceled,
and shall not be issuable by the Company as Contingent Non-Participating
Common Units.

Unit exchanged, redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company in
any manner whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly after the
acquisition thereof.
6. Voting Rights. Contingent Non-Participating Common Units
shall have no voting rights with respect to any matter relating to the
Company regardless of whether any such matter is required or permitted to be
submitted to the holders of Common Units for their approval.
7. Rank and Limitations of Contingent Non-Participating
Common Units. All units of Contingent Non-Participating Common Units shall
rank equally with each other unit of Contingent Non-Participating Common
Units and shall be identical in all respects.

WARRANT
to Purchase Common Units of

Expiring ________, 2002
This Warrant certifies that [The Mack Companies], or registered and

Delaware limited partnership (the "Company"), two million (2,000,000) duly

partnership units of the Company (the common units, including any security
into which they may be changed, reclassified, or converted, and as it may be
adjusted pursuant to Section 4(A) below, are herein referred to as the
"Common Units"). This Warrant is one of a class of Warrants (the "Mack
Warrants") issued pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Contribution and Exchange
Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated __________, 1997, by and among the
Company, Cali Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, the Mack

This Warrant is subject to the following provisions, terms and conditions:

To exercise this Warrant in whole or in part, the Holder shall deliver to
the Company at its principal office in Cranford, New Jersey, (a) a written
notice, in substantially the form of the Exercise Notice appearing at the end
of this Warrant (the "Exercise Notice"), of the Holder's election to exercise
this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of Common Units to be
purchased, (b) cash or a certified check payable to the Company in an amount
equal to the aggregate purchase price of the number of Common Units being
purchased, and (c) this Warrant. The Company shall as promptly as
practicable, and in any event within 15 days thereafter, execute and deliver
or cause to be executed and delivered, in accordance with such notice, a
certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of Common Units
specified in the Exercise Notice. The certificate or certificates so
delivered shall be in such denominations as may be specified in the Exercise
Notice and shall be issued in the name of the Holder or such other name as
shall be designated in such notice. Such certificate or certificates shall be
deemed to have been issued and the Holder or any other person so designated
to be named therein shall be deemed for all purposes to have become a holder
of record of such Common Units immediately prior to the close of business on
the date such notice is received by the Company as aforesaid. If this
Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, the Company shall, at the
time of delivery of said certificate or certificates, deliver to the Holder a
new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the remaining
units of Common Units called for by this Warrant,
<PAGE>
which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to this Warrant,
or, at the request of the Holder, appropriate notation may be made on this
Warrant and the same returned to the Holder. The Company shall pay all
expenses, taxes and other charges payable in connection with the preparation,
issue and delivery of such certificates and new Warrants, except that, in
case such certificates or new Warrants shall be registered in a name or names
other than the name of the Holder, funds sufficient to pay all transfer taxes
that are payable upon the issuance of such certificates or new Warrants shall
be paid by the Holder at the time of delivering the notice of exercise
mentioned above.
All Common Units issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, if the Common Units are
then listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on an automated
quotation system, shall be duly listed or quoted thereon.
The Company shall not be required upon any exercise of this Warrant to
issue a certificate representing any fraction of a unit of Common Units, but,
in lieu thereof, shall pay to the Holder cash in an amount equal to a
corresponding fraction (calculated to the nearest 1/100 of a unit) of the
purchase price of one Common Unit as of the date of receipt by the Company of
notice of exercise of this Warrant.
Section 2. Terms and Conditions of Warrants.
(A) Exercise Period. Each Warrant shall be exercisable at any time on
or after the first anniversary of the date hereof (the "Exercise Date"), and
shall expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fourth anniversary of
the Exercise Date (the "Expiration Date").
(B) Purchase Price. The purchase price per unit of Common Units shall
be $37.80.
(C) Payment of Purchase Price upon Exercise. Subject to the provisions
of Section 5, the purchase price of the Common Units as to which a Warrant is
exercised shall be paid to the Company at the time of exercise.
(D) Transferability and Exercise of Warrants. This Warrant shall be
exercisable or convertible (a) only under circumstances such that the issue
of Common Units issuable upon such exercise or conversion is exempt from the
requirements of registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 Act"), and any applicable state securities law or (b) upon
registration of such Common Units in compliance therewith; provided, however,
that the foregoing shall not apply if this Warrant is exercised by the
original Holder thereof. This Warrant shall only be transferable (i) in
accordance with or as otherwise specifically permitted by the provisions of
the Agreement and (ii) under circumstances such that the transfer is exempt
from the requirements of registration under the 1933 Act and any applicable
state securities law. By acceptance hereof, the Holder agrees to comply with
such laws.
(E) Investment Representation. The Holder, by acceptance hereof, (i)
hereby represents that he or she is an "Accredited Investor" under Rule
501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act, and
(ii) acknowledges that this Warrant is, and to the extent not registered
under the 1933 Act, any Common Units purchased or acquired pursuant hereto
are, being or will be acquired solely for the Holder's own account and not as
a nominee for any other
2
<PAGE>
party, and with a current investment intent and not with a view to
distribution thereof. Subject to the provisions of Section 10, the Holder
(or any person acting under Sections 2(D) above) shall deliver to the
Company, at the time of any exercise of this Warrant or portion thereof, a
written representation that the Common Units to be acquired upon such
exercise are to be acquired for investment and not for resale or with a view
to the distribution thereof, and, if applicable, that he or she is the
original Holder of this Warrant. Delivery of such representation prior to
the delivery of any Common Units issued upon exercise of a Warrant and prior
to the expiration of the Warrant period shall be a condition precedent to the
right of the Holder or such other person to purchase any Common Units. In
the event certificates for Common Units are delivered upon the exercise of
this Warrant with respect to which such an investment representation has been
obtained, the Company may cause a legend or legends to be placed on such
certificates to make appropriate reference to such representations and to
restrict transfer in the absence of compliance with applicable federal or
state securities laws.
Section 3. Transfer, Division and Combination.
The Company agrees to maintain at its principal office in Cranford, New
Jersey, books for the registration and transfer of this Warrant, and, subject
to the provisions of Section 2(D) hereof, this Warrant and all rights
hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, on such books at such
office, upon surrender of this Warrant at such office, together with a
written assignment of this Warrant duly executed by the Holder or his agent
or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the
making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and payment, the Company shall
execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or
assignees and in the denominations specified in such instrument of
assignment, and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled. A Warrant may be
exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Common Units without having a
new Warrant issued. All of the provisions of this Section 3 are subject to
the provisions of Sections 2(D) above.
Section 4. General Provisions
(A) Certain Adjustments. In the event of any change in Common Units by
reason of any dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger,
consolidation, split-up, combination or exchange of units, or of any similar
change affecting the Common Units, the number and kind of units subject to
this Warrant and the purchase price per unit thereof shall be appropriately
adjusted consistent with such change to prevent dilution or enlargement of
the rights granted to, or available for, the Holder hereunder. Any
adjustment of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 4(A) shall be made only
to the extent not constituting a "modification" within the meaning of Section
424(h)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time,
unless the Holder shall agree otherwise. The Company shall give notice to
the Holder of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4(A) and, upon
notice, such adjustment shall be effective and binding for all purposes under
this Warrant.
(B) Successor Company. The obligations of the Company under this
Warrant shall be binding upon any successor Company or organization resulting
from the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or
upon any successor Company or organization succeeding to substantially all of
the assets and business of the Company. The Company agrees that it will make
appropriate provision for the preservation of Holder's rights under this
Warrant
3
<PAGE>
in any agreement or plan which it may enter into or adopt to effect any such
merger, consolidation, reorganization or transfer of assets.
(C) Listing and Qualification of Stock Underlying Common Units. The
Company covenants to effect the listing of the Common Stock underlying the
Common Units underlying this Warrant on the New York Stock Exchange prior to
the Exercise Date.
(D) General Creditor Status. The Holder shall have no right, title, or
interest whatsoever in or to any investments which the Company may make to
aid it in meeting its obligations hereunder. Nothing contained herein, and
no action taken pursuant hereto, shall create or be construed to create a
trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and the
Holder or any other person. To the extent that any person or entity acquires
a right to receive payments from the Company hereunder, such right shall be
no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.
All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the
Company and no special or separate fund shall be established and no
segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts except
as expressly set forth herein; provided, however, that in its sole
discretion, the Company may authorize the creation of trusts or other
arrangements to meet the obligations created hereunder to deliver Common
Units or pay cash.
Section 5. Right to Convert Warrant.
The Holder shall have the right to convert, in whole or in part, this
Warrant (the "Conversion Right") at any time prior to the Expiration Date,
into Common Units in accordance with this Section 5. Upon exercise of the
Conversion Right, the Company shall deliver to the Holder (without payment by
the Holder of the purchase price) that number of Common Units equal to the
quotient obtained by dividing (x) the value of the portion of this Warrant
being converted at the time the Conversion Right is exercised (determined by
subtracting the aggregate purchase price for the portion of this Warrant
being converted (in effect immediately prior to the exercise of the
Conversion Right) from the amount obtained by multiplying the number of
Common Units issuable upon the whole or partial exercise of this Warrant, as
the case may be, by the Closing Price (as defined below) of one Common Unit
on the day immediately prior to the exercise of the Conversion Right) by (y)
the Closing Price of one Common Unit on the day immediately prior to the
exercise of the Conversion Right.
For purposes hereof, the "Closing Price" shall mean the closing sale
price (or the average of the closing bid and ask prices if there is no
closing sale price reported) of the Common Stock on the date specified on the
principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or
admitted to trading, or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to
trading on any national securities exchange on such date, the average of the
highest reported bid and lowest reported asked prices as furnished by the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. through NASDAQ or a similar
organization if NASDAQ is no longer reporting such information. If there is
no reported bid and asked price for the Common Stock, the "Closing Price"
shall be the fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors
of the Company and the Holder, or, if the Board of Directors of the Company
and the Holder cannot agree, then by an independent appraiser mutually
selected by the Board of Directors of the Company and the Holder.
4
<PAGE>
The Conversion Right may be exercised by the Holder, at any time or from
time to time, prior to its expiration, on any business day by delivering the
Conversion Notice to the Company at the offices of the Company, exercising
the Conversion Right and specifying (i) the total number of Common Units that
the Holder will purchase pursuant to the conversion and (ii) a place and date
not less than two nor more than 20 business days from the date of the
Conversion Notice for the closing of such purchase.
At any closing under this Section 5, (i) the Holder will surrender this
Warrant and (ii) the Company will deliver to the Holder a certificate or
certificates for the number of Common Units issuable upon such conversion.
If this Warrant shall have been converted only in part, the Company shall, at
the time of delivery of said certificate or certificates, deliver to the
Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the
remaining Common Units called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in
all other respects be identical to this Warrant, or, at the request of the
Holder, appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant and the same
returned to the Holder. The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes and other
charges payable in connection with the preparation, issue and delivery of
such certificates and new Warrants, except that, in case such certificates
and/ or new Warrants shall be registered in a name or names other than the
name of the Holder, funds sufficient to pay all transfer taxes that are
payable upon the issuance of such certificates or new Warrants shall be paid
by the Holder at the time of delivering the notice of exercise mentioned
above.
Section 6. Covenant to Reserve Common Units and Common Stock.
The Company covenants and agrees that (i) it will at all times reserve
and set apart and have, free from preemptive rights, a number of units of
authorized but unissued Common Units sufficient to enable it at any time to
fulfill all its obligations hereunder and (ii) and will cause Mack-Cali
Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation ("MC Corp.") to reserve and
set-apart and have, free from preemptive rights, a number of its authorized
but unissued shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common
Stock"), sufficient to enable it at any time to fulfill all of its
obligations upon conversion of the Common Units underlying this Warrant into
Common Stock.
Section 7. Notices.
In the event that the Company or MC Corp. (as the case may be):
(a) proposes to pay any distribution or dividend payable in
securities (of any class or classes) or any obligations, stock or units
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Units or Common Stock upon
either of their capital securities, including without limitation (i) Common
Units or Common Stock or (ii) a cash distribution other than its customary
quarterly cash distribution;

or any other matter whatsoever as Common Unit holders of the Company. No

tenor, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant. Any
Warrant issued under the provisions of this Section 9 in lieu of any Warrant
alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen, or of any mutilated Warrant, shall
constitute an original contractual obligation on the part of the Company.
Section 10. Exercise for Common Stock.
In the event the Holder elects to exercise this Warrant with the
intention of immediately thereafter redeeming all or part of the Common Units
received from the exercise of this Warrant into Common Stock or the cash
value equivalent thereof as more fully set forth in Section 10.3 of the
Partnership Agreement of the Company, and delivers a notice to the Company
along with the delivery of the Exercise Notice stating such Holder's intent
(the "Notice of Redemption"), the exercise of this Warrant and the delivery
of the Notice of Redemption shall be deemed to have occurred on the same
business day, and the Company shall cause MC Corp. to complete the redemption
process as expeditiously as reasonably practicable.
Section 11. Registration Rights.
As used in this Section 11, the term "Registrable Securities" shall

such Warrant) that is from time to time outstanding.
References in this Warrant to rules, regulations and forms
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission shall include rules,
regulations and forms succeeding to the functions thereof, whether or not
bearing the same designation.
The rights and obligations of the Company and the Holder with
respect to the Registrable Securities are set forth in a Registration Rights
Agreement, dated the date hereof, between the Company, the Holder and the
other signatories thereto, and shall supersede any registration rights and
obligations of the Company and the Holder existing prior to the date hereof
with respect to the Registrable Securities.

discharged or terminated orally or in writing, provided that any term of this
Warrant may be amended or the observance of such term may be waived (either
generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or
prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Company and
the holders of the Mack Warrants that are exercisable for a number of units
of Common Units that represent in the aggregate at least a majority of the
total number of Common Units for which all of the Mack Warrants are then
exercisable (whether or not the holder of this Warrant consents).

WARRANT
to Purchase Common Stock of
MACK-CALI REALTY CORPORATION
Expiring December 12, 2007
This Warrant certifies that Mitchell E. Hersh, or his registered and
permitted assigns (the "Holder"), is entitled to, subject to the terms set
forth below, subscribe for and purchase from Mack-Cali Realty Corporation
(formerly Cali Realty Corporation), a Maryland corporation (the "Company"),
Three Hundred and Thirty-Nine Thousand Nine Hundred and Seventy-Six (339,976)
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of the
Company's common stock, $.01 par value per share (the common stock, including
any stock into which it may be changed, reclassified, or converted, and as it
may be adjusted pursuant to Section 4(B) below, is herein referred to as the
"Common Stock"). This Warrant is one of a class of Warrants (the "Mack
Warrants") of the Company issued to purchase an aggregate of Five Hundred
Fourteen Thousand Nine Hundred and Seventy-Six (514,976) shares of Common
Stock pursuant to the Contribution and Exchange Agreement dated September 18,
1997 by and between the Company, Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. (formerly Cali
Realty, L.P.), a Delaware limited partnership (the "Partnership"), the Mack
Contributors (as defined therein) and the Mack Entities (as defined therein),
as amended by that certain First Amendment dated as of December 11, 1997.
This Warrant is subject to the following provisions, terms and conditions:
Section 1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
To exercise this Warrant in whole or in part, the Holder shall deliver to
the Company at its principal office in Cranford, New Jersey, (a) a written
notice, in substantially the form of the Exercise Notice appearing at the end of
this Warrant, of the Holder's election to exercise this Warrant, which notice
shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased, (b) cash or
a certified check payable to the Company, or such other consideration as
determined in accordance with Section 2(D) below, in an amount equal to the
aggregate purchase price of the number of shares of Common Stock being
purchased, and (c) this Warrant. The Company shall as promptly as practicable,
and in any event within 15 days thereafter, execute and deliver or cause to be
executed and delivered, in accordance with such notice, a stock certificate or
certificates representing the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
specified in such notice. The stock certificate or certificates so delivered
shall be in such denominations as may be specified in such notice and shall be
issued in the name of the Holder or, subject to Sections 2(E) and (F) and
Sections 4(H) and (I) below, such other name as shall be designated in such
notice. Such stock certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been
issued and the Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein
shall be deemed for all purposes to have become a
<PAGE>
holder of record of such shares immediately prior to the close of business on
the date such notice is received by the Company as aforesaid. If this Warrant
shall have been exercised only in part, the Company shall, at the time of
delivery of said stock certificate or certificates, deliver to the Holder a new
Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the remaining shares of
Common Stock called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other
respects be identical to this Warrant, or, at the request of the Holder,
appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant and the same returned to the
Holder. The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes and other charges payable in
connection with the preparation, issue and delivery of such stock certificates
and new Warrants, except that, in case such stock certificates or new Warrants
shall be registered in a name or names other than the name of the Holder, funds
sufficient to pay all stock transfer taxes that are payable upon the issuance of
such stock certificates or new Warrants shall be paid by the Holder at the time
of delivering the notice of exercise mentioned above.
All shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall
be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, if the Common Stock is
then listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on an automated
quotation system, shall be duly listed or quoted thereon.
The Company shall not be required upon any exercise of this Warrant to
issue a certificate representing any fraction of a share of Common Stock,
but, in lieu thereof, shall pay to the Holder cash in an amount equal to a
corresponding fraction (calculated to the nearest 1/100 of a share) of the
purchase price of one share of Common Stock as of the date of receipt by the
Company of notice of exercise of this Warrant.
Section 2. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF WARRANTS.
(A) EXERCISE PERIOD. Each Warrant shall vest in five equal
installments (subject to acceleration in accordance with the terms of this
Warrant), with one-fifth of such Warrant vesting on December 31, 1997,
one-fifth vesting on December 31, 1998, one-fifth vesting on December 31,
1999, one-fifth vesting on December 31, 2000, and one-fifth vesting on
December 31, 2001, and shall expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
December 12, 2007, or in connection with the Holder's earlier termination of
employment with the Company as provided in paragraph 2(E) below (the
"Expiration Date").
(B) PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price per share of Common Stock shall
be equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date hereof.
For purposes of this paragraph 2(B), "fair market value" means the closing
price as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange at the end of the last
business day preceding the date hereof as reported in the New York edition of
The Wall Street Journal. It is agreed that such purchase price is $38.75 per
share.
(C) EXERCISE OF WARRANT. No part of any Warrant may be exercised at the
time of vesting unless the Holder shall have remained in the employ of the
Company for such period as to which such portion of the Warrant has vested,
except as otherwise provided in paragraph 2(E) below.
2
<PAGE>
(D) PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE UPON EXERCISE. Subject to the terms of
Section 2(F) hereof, the purchase price of the Common Stock as to which a
Warrant is exercised shall be paid to the Company at the time of exercise
either in cash or in such other consideration as the Executive Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors")
or such other committee that the Board of Directors may appoint to administer
the Warrants (the "Committee"), deems appropriate, including, but not limited
to, loans from the Company or a third party, Common Stock already owned by
the Holder having a total fair market value, as determined by the Committee,
equal to the purchase price, or a combination of cash and Common Stock having
a total fair market value, as so determined, equal to the purchase price. The
Committee in its sole discretion may also provide that the purchase price may
be paid by delivering a properly executed exercise notice in a form approved
by the Committee, together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to
promptly deliver to the Company the amount of applicable sale or loan
proceeds to pay the purchase price.
(E) EXERCISE IN THE EVENT OF DEATH, DISABILITY, RETIREMENT OR OTHER
TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT, OR CHANGE IN CONTROL.
(1) DEATH OR DISABILITY. If a Holder's employment with the
Company shall terminate because of his death or due to Disability
(as defined below), the vesting of all Warrants which the Holder
shall not then have been entitled to exercise shall be accelerated
on the date of his death or the termination of his employment due
to Disability, as the case may be. If a Holder's employment with
the Company shall terminate because of his death or due to
Disability, such Holder's Warrants may be exercised, to the extent
that such Holder shall have been entitled to do so on the date of
his death or termination of employment due to Disability, as the
case may be (including, without limitation, by acceleration or
otherwise) by the Holder, the Holder's Beneficiary (as defined
below) or by the person or persons to whom the Holder's rights
under the Warrants pass by will or applicable law, or if no such
person has such right, by his executors or administrators, at any
time, or from time to time, but not later than the earlier of the
Expiration Date or one year after the Holder's death or termination
of employment due to Disability, as the case may be.
(2) CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event of a Change in Control
(as defined below), the vesting of all Warrants which the Holder
shall not then have been entitled to exercise shall be accelerated
concurrently with the occurrence of the Change in Control and the
Holder shall have the right to exercise all such Warrants at any
time or from time to time through the Expiration Date.
(3) GOOD REASON. If a Holder terminates his employment for
Good Reason (as defined below), the vesting of all Warrants which
the Holder shall not then have been entitled to exercise shall be
accelerated on the date of the termination of his employment. If a
Holder's employment with the Company shall terminate for Good
Reason, such Holder may exercise his Warrants, to the extent that
such Holder shall have been entitled to do so at the date of the
termination of his employment (including, without limitation, by
acceleration or otherwise), at any time, or from time to time, but
not later than the
3
<PAGE>
Expiration Date or one year after the Holder's termination of
employment, whichever date is earlier.
"Good Reason" shall mean (A) the occurrence of any material
breach of Holder's Employment Agreement with the Company dated
December 11, 1997 (the "Employment Agreement") by the Company which
shall include but not be limited to; an assignment to the Holder of
duties materially and adversely inconsistent with or adverse
alteration in the nature of or diminution in Holder's duties and/or
responsibilities as contemplated by his Employment Agreement, (B) a
reduction in the Holder's Annual Base Salary (as defined in the
Holder's Employment Agreement) or a material reduction in benefits
(except for bonuses or similar discretionary payments) as in effect
at the time in question, a failure to pay such amounts when due or
any other failure by the Company to comply with Paragraph 4 of the
Employment Agreement, (C) at the option of the Holder within six
(6) months following the date a Notice of Non-Renewal (as defined
in the Holder's Employment Agreement) is issued by the Company
pursuant to Paragraph 2 of the Employment Agreement, (D) at the
option of the Holder within six (6) months following a Change in
Control (as defined in the Holder's Employment Agreement) in
accordance with the provisions set forth in sub-paragraph 5(a)(vii)
of the Employment Agreement, (E) any purported termination of the
Holder's employment for Cause which is not effected pursuant to the
procedures of sub-paragraph 5(a)(i) of the Employment Agreement,
(F) at the option of the Holder upon relocation of the Company's
principal executive offices or Holder's own office location to a
location more than thirty (30) miles away from Cranford, New
Jersey, or (G) failure of Holder to be appointed or reappointed as
a member of the Company's Board of Directors.
(4) Subject to Section 4(A) below, if a Holder's
employment shall terminate for any reason other than death,
Disability, Good Reason or a Change in Control (each as defined
below) as aforesaid, all rights to exercise his Warrant shall
terminate at the Expiration Date or three (3) months after
termination of employment, whichever date is earlier; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant new
Warrants or modify outstanding Warrants to permit their exercise
upon a Holder's termination of employment due to retirement with
the consent of the Company until the earlier of the Expiration Date
or twelve (12) months after termination of employment.

designated in accordance with Section 4(H) to receive the amount,
if any, payable under the Warrant upon the death of a Holder.
"Change in Control" means that any of the following events has
occurred:
(i) any "person" or "group" of persons, as such
terms are used in Sections 13 and 14 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
other than any employee benefit plan sponsored by the
Company, becomes the "beneficial owner", as such term is
used in Section 13 of the Exchange Act,
4
<PAGE>
(irrespective of any vesting or waiting periods) of (I)
Common Stock or any class of stock convertible into
Common Stock and/or (II) common limited partnership units
of the Partnership (the "Common OP Units") or preferred
units or any other class of units convertible into Common
OP Units, in an amount equal to twenty (20%) percent or
more of the sum total of the Common Stock and the Common
OP Units (treating all classes of outstanding stock,
units or other securities convertible into stock units as
if they were converted into Common Stock or Common OP
Units as the case may be and then treating Common Stock
and Common OP Units as if they were a single class)
issued and outstanding immediately prior to such
acquisition as if they were a single class and
disregarding any equity raise in connection with the
financing of such transaction;
(ii) any Common Stock is purchased pursuant to a
tender or exchange offer other than an offer by the
Company;
(iii) the dissolution or liquidation of the
Company or the consummation of any merger or
consolidation of the Company or any sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of its assets, if
the shareholders of the Company and unitholders of the
Partnership taken as a whole and considered as one class
immediately before such transaction own, immediately
after consummation of such transaction, equity securities
and partnership units possessing less than fifty (50%)
percent of the surviving or acquiring company and
partnership taken as a whole; or
(iv) a turnover, during any two (2) year period, of
the majority of the members of the Board of Directors,
without the consent of the remaining members of the Board
of Directors as to the appointment of the new members of
the Board of Directors.
"Disability" means the determination by the Company, upon the
advice of an independent qualified physician, reasonably acceptable to
the Holder, that the Holder has become physically or mentally incapable
of performing his duties under the Employment Agreement and such
disability has disabled the Holder for a cumulative period of one
hundred eighty (180) days within a twelve (12) month period.
(F) REPURCHASE RIGHT. In the event of termination of the Holder's
employment as a result of either (i) death or Disability, (ii) termination by
the Company for any reason other than Cause or (iii) termination by the
Holder of his employment for Good Reason, the Holder shall be entitled, at
the option of the Holder, his estate or his personal representative, within
ninety (90) days (one (1) year in the case of termination as a result of the
Holder's death or Disability) of the date of such termination, to require the
Company (upon written notice delivered within one
5
<PAGE>
hundred eighty (180) days following the date of termination) to repurchase
all or any portion of the Holder's vested Warrants at a price equal to the
difference between the repurchase fair market value (as defined below) of the
shares of Common Stock for which the Warrants to be repurchased are
exercisable and the exercise price of such Warrant as of the date of the
Holder's termination of employment. For purposes of this paragraph 2(F),
"repurchase fair market value" means the average of the closing price on the
New York Stock Exchange of the Common Stock on each of the trading days
within the thirty (30) days immediately preceding the date of termination of
the Holder's employment.
(G) TRANSFERABILITY AND EXERCISE OF WARRANTS. Subject to the
provisions of any registration rights agreement entered into in connection
with the registration of shares of Common Stock underlying the Mack Warrants,
no Warrant shall be transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution. During the lifetime of the Holder, a Warrant shall be
exercisable only by the Holder. This Warrant shall be exercisable or
convertible (a) only under circumstances such that the issue of Common Stock
issuable upon such exercise or conversion is exempt from the requirements of
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"),
and any applicable state securities law or (b) upon registration of such
Common Stock in compliance therewith; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the foregoing
shall not apply if this Warrant is exercised by the original Holder hereof.
This Warrant shall be transferable only under circumstances such that the
transfer is exempt from the requirements of registration under the 1933 Act
and any applicable state securities law. By acceptance hereof, the Holder
agrees to comply with such laws.
(H) INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION. The Holder, by acceptance hereof, (i)
hereby represents that he is an "Accredited Investor" under Rule 501(a) of
Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act, and (ii)
acknowledges that this Warrant and, to the extent not registered under the
1933 Act, any Common Stock purchased or acquired pursuant hereto is being or
will be acquired solely for the Holder's own account and not as a nominee for
any other party, and with a current investment intent and not with a view to
distribution thereof. The Holder (or any person acting under Sections 2(E),
(F) or (G) above) shall deliver to the Company, at the time of any exercise
of a Warrant or portion thereof, a written representation that the shares to
be acquired upon such exercise are to be acquired for investment and not for
resale or with a view to the distribution thereof, and, if applicable, that
he is the original Holder of this Warrant. Delivery of such representation
prior to the delivery of any Common Stock issued upon exercise of a Warrant
and prior to the expiration of the Warrant period shall be a condition
precedent to the right of the Holder or such other person to purchase any
Common Stock. In the event certificates for Common Stock are delivered upon
the exercise of a Warrant with respect to which such an investment
representation has been obtained, the Company may cause a legend or legends
to be placed on such certificates to make appropriate reference to such
representations and to restrict transfer in the absence of compliance with
applicable federal or state securities laws.
Section 3. TRANSFER, DIVISION AND COMBINATION.
The Company agrees to maintain at its principal office in Cranford, New
Jersey, books
6
<PAGE>
for the registration and transfer of this Warrant, and, subject to the
provisions of Section 2(G) hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are
transferable, in whole or in part, on such books at such office, upon
surrender of this Warrant at such office, together with a written assignment
of this Warrant duly executed by the Holder or his agent or attorney and
funds sufficient to pay any stock transfer taxes payable upon the making of
such transfer. Upon such surrender and payment, the Company shall execute
and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or
assignees and in the denominations specified in such instrument of
assignment, and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled. A Warrant may be
exercised by a new holder for the purchase of shares of Common Stock without
having a new Warrant issued. All of the provisions of this Section 3 are
subject to the provisions of Sections 2(E), (F) and (G) above.
Section 4. GENERAL PROVISIONS
(A) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE OR WITHOUT GOOD REASON. Notwithstanding
anything herein contained to the contrary, if a Holder's employment is
terminated for Cause or without Good Reason, all Warrants, to the extent not
vested on the date of termination, shall be forfeited. "Cause" shall mean
(1) the willful and continued failure by the Holder to use best efforts to
substantially perform his duties under his Employment Agreement with the
Company, (other than any such failure resulting from the Holder's incapacity
due to physical or mental illness) for a period of thirty (30) days after
written demand for substantial performance is delivered by the Company
specifically identifying the manner in which the Company believes the Holder
has not substantially performed his duties, (2) willful misconduct and/or
willful violation of Paragraph 11 of the Employment Agreement by the Holder
which is materially economically injurious to the Company and the Partnership
taken as a whole, (3) the willful violation by the Holder of the covenant not
to compete described in Paragraph 13 of the Employment Agreement, or (4)
conviction of, or plea of guilty to a felony. For purposes of this Paragraph
4(A), no act, or failure to act, on the Holder's part shall be considered
"willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by him (i) not in good faith
and (ii) without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in
furtherance of the interests of the Company.
(B) CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS. In the event of any change in the Common Stock
by reason of any stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger,
consolidation, split-up, combination or exchange of shares, or any rights
offering to purchase Common Stock at a price substantially below fair market
value, or of any similar change affecting the Common Stock, the number and
kind of shares subject to Warrants in and the purchase price per share
thereof shall be appropriately adjusted consistent with such change in such
manner as the Committee may deem equitable to prevent substantial dilution or
enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for, the Holders
hereunder. Any adjustment of a Warrant pursuant to this Section 4(B) shall
be made only to the extent not constituting a "modification" within the
meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
from time to time, unless the holder of such Warrant shall agree otherwise.
The Committee shall give notice to each Holder of any adjustment made
pursuant to this Section 4(B) and, upon notice, such adjustment shall be
effective and binding for all purposes under this Warrant.
(C) SUCCESSOR COMPANY. The obligations of the Company under this
Warrant shall be binding upon any successor Company or organization resulting
from the merger, consolidation
7
<PAGE>
or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor Company or
organization succeeding to substantially all of the assets and business of
the Company. The Company agrees that it will make appropriate provision for
the preservation of Holders' rights under this Warrant in any agreement or
plan which it may enter into or adopt to effect any such merger,
consolidation, reorganization or transfer of assets.
(D) NO CLAIM OR RIGHT. Nothing contained herein nor any action taken
hereunder shall be construed as giving any employee any right to be retained
in the employ of the Company.
(E) AWARDS NOT TREATED AS COMPENSATION UNDER BENEFIT PLANS. No Warrant
shall be considered as compensation under any employee benefit plan of the
Company, except as specifically provided in any such plan or as otherwise
determined by the Board of Directors.
(F) LISTING AND QUALIFICATION OF COMMON STOCK. The Company, in its
discretion, may postpone the issuance or delivery of Common Stock upon any
exercise of a Warrant until completion of such stock exchange listing or
other qualification of such shares under any state or federal law, rule or
regulation as the Company may consider appropriate, and may require any
Holder, Beneficiary or legal representative to make such representations and
furnish such information as it may consider reasonably appropriate in
connection with the issuance or delivery of the shares in compliance with
applicable laws, rules and regulations. The Company covenants, however, to
effect the listing of the Common Stock underlying the Warrants on the New
York Stock Exchange prior to December 1998.
(G) TAXES. The Company may make such provisions and take such steps as
it may deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding of all federal,
state and local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to Warrants
exercised pursuant to this Agreement including, but not limited to (i)
deducting the amount required to be withheld from any other amount then or
thereafter payable to a Holder, Beneficiary or legal representative, and (ii)
requiring a Holder, Beneficiary or legal representative to pay to the Company
the amount required to be withheld as a condition of releasing Common Stock.
In addition, subject to such rules and regulations as the Committee shall
from time to time establish, Holders shall be permitted to satisfy federal,
state and local taxes, if any, imposed upon the issuance of Common Stock at a
rate up to such Holder's maximum marginal tax rate with respect to each such
tax by (i) irrevocably electing to have the Company deduct from the number of
shares Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon exercise of a Warrant such
number of shares of Common Stock as shall have a value equal to the amount of
tax to be withheld, (ii) delivering to the Company such portion of the Common
Stock delivered upon exercise of the Warrant as shall have a value equal to
the amount of tax to be withheld, or (iii) delivering to the Company such
Common Stock or combination of Common Stock and cash as shall have a value
equal to the amount of tax to be withheld.
(H) DESIGNATION AND CHANGE OF BENEFICIARY. Each Holder shall file with
the Committee a written designation of one or more persons as the Beneficiary
who shall be entitled to receive the amount, if any, payable under this
Warrant upon his death. A Holder may, from time to time, revoke or change his
Beneficiary designation without the consent of any prior
8
<PAGE>
Beneficiary by filing a new designation with the Committee. The last such
designation received by the Committee shall be controlling; provided,
however, that no designation, or change or revocation thereof, shall be
effective unless received by the Committee prior to the Holder's death, and
in no event shall it be effective as of a date prior to such receipt.
(I) PAYMENTS TO PERSONS OTHER THAN A HOLDER. If the Committee shall
find that any person to whom any amount is payable under this Warrant is
unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor,
or has died, then any payment due to such person or his estate (unless a
prior claim therefor has been made by a duly appointed legal representative),
may, if the Committee so directs the Company, be paid to his spouse, a child,
a relative, an institution maintaining or having custody of such person, or
any other person deemed by the Committee to be a proper recipient on behalf
of such person otherwise entitled to payment. Any such payment shall be a
complete discharge of the liability of the Committee and the Company therefor.
(J) GENERAL CREDITOR STATUS. Holders shall have no right, title, or
interest whatsoever in or to any investments which the Company may make to
aid it in meeting its obligations hereunder. Nothing contained herein, and no
action taken pursuant hereto, shall create or be construed to create a trust
of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Holder,
Beneficiary, legal representative or any other person. To the extent that
any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company hereunder,
such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general
creditor of the Company. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid
from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall
be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment
of such amounts except as expressly set forth herein; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
in its sole discretion, the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or
other arrangements to meet the obligations created hereunder to deliver
Common Stock or pay cash; PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that, unless the
Committee otherwise determines with the consent of the affected Holder, the
existence of such trusts or other arrangements shall be consistent with the
"unfunded" status of the Employee Stock Option Plan of Cali Realty
Corporation.
(K) NO LIABILITY OF COMMITTEE MEMBERS. The Holder of this Warrant
agrees that no member of the Committee shall be personally liable by reason
of any contract or other instrument executed by such member or on his behalf
in his capacity as a member of the Committee nor for any mistake of judgment
made in good faith.
Section 5. COVENANT TO RESERVE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.
The Company covenants and agrees that it will at all times reserve and
set apart and have, free from preemptive rights, a number of shares of
authorized but unissued Common Stock, or other stock or securities
deliverable pursuant to this Warrant, sufficient to enable it at any time to
fulfill all its obligations hereunder.
Section 6. NOTICES.
9
<PAGE>
In the event that:
(a) the Company proposes to pay any dividend payable in (of any
class or classes) or any obligations or stock convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock upon its Common Stock or make
any distribution (other than ordinary cash dividends) to the holders of
its Common Stock,
(b) the Company proposes to grant to the holders of its Common
Stock generally any rights or Warrants (excluding any Warrants granted
to any employee, director, officer, contractor or consultant of the
Company pursuant to any plan approved by the Board of Directors of the
Company),
(c) the Company proposes to effect any capital reorganization or
reclassification of capital stock of the Company,
(d) the Company proposes to consolidate with, or merge into, any
other Company or to transfer its property as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety, or
(e) the Company proposes to effect the liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company,
then the Company shall cause notice of any such intended action to be given to
the holder of this Warrant not less than 30 days before the date on which the
transfer books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such
stock dividend, distribution or granting of rights or Warrants, or the date when
such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer,
liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall be effective, as the case may be.
Any notice or other document required or permitted to be given or
delivered to the holder of this Warrant shall be delivered by facsimile
transmission, reliable courier or first-class mail postage prepaid to the
Holder at the last address shown on the books of the Company maintained for
the registry and transfer of this Warrant. Any notice or other document
required or permitted to be given or delivered to holders of record of Common
Stock issued pursuant to this Warrant shall be delivered by facsimile,
reliable courier or first-class mail postage prepaid to Holder at Holder's
address as the same appears on the stock records of the Company. Any notice
or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the
Company shall be delivered by facsimile transmission, reliable courier or
first-class mail postage prepaid to the principal office of the Company in
Cranford, New Jersey, or delivered to the office of one of the Company's
executive officers at such address, or such other address as shall have been
furnished by the Company to the holders of record of such Warrants and the
holders of record of such Common Stock.
Section 7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; NOT SHAREHOLDERS.
No provision of this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the
Holder the right to vote or to consent or to receive dividends or to receive
notice as a shareholder in respect of
10
<PAGE>
meetings of shareholders for the election of directors of the Company or any
other matter whatsoever as shareholders of the Company. No provision hereof,
in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase shares of
Common Stock, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of
the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price
or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the
Company, creditors of the Company or others.
Section 8. LOSS, DESTRUCTION, ETC., OF WARRANT.
Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft,
mutilation or destruction of any Warrant, and in the case of any such loss,
theft or destruction upon delivery of a bond of indemnity in such form and
amount as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or in the event of
such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company
will make and deliver a new Warrant, of like tenor, in lieu of such lost,
stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant. Any Warrant issued under the
provisions of this Section 8 in lieu of any Warrant alleged to be lost,
destroyed or stolen, or of any mutilated Warrant, shall constitute an
original contractual obligation on the part of the Company.
Section 9. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
As used in this Section 9, the term "Registrable Stock" shall mean (i)
all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant
(and all shares of Common Stock that may thereafter be issued in respect of
such Warrant) that is from time to time outstanding.
References in this Warrant to rules, regulations and forms promulgated
by the Securities and Exchange Commission shall include rules, regulations
and forms succeeding to the functions thereof, whether or not bearing the
same designation.
The rights and obligations of the Company and the Holder with respect to
the Registrable Stock are set forth in a Registration Rights Agreement, dated
December 11, 1997, between the Company, the Holder and the other signatories
thereto, and shall supersede any registration rights and obligations of the
Company and the Holder existing prior to the date hereof with respect to the
Registrable Stock.
Section 10. AMENDMENTS.
Neither this Warrant nor any term hereof may be changed, waived,
discharged or terminated orally or in writing, provided that any term of this
Warrant may be amended or the observance of such term may be waived (either
generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or
prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Company and
the
11
<PAGE>
holders of the Mack Warrants that are exercisable for a number of shares of
Common Stock that represent in the aggregate at least a majority of the total
number of shares of Common Stock for which all of the Mack Warrants are then
exercisable (whether or not the holder of this Warrant consents).
Section 11. GOVERNING LAW AND CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.
This Warrant shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York
without regard to its conflict of laws principles or rules. This Warrant
shall be deemed to have been executed and delivered at and shall be deemed to
have been made in New York, New York.
Any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Warrant may only be instituted in any federal court of the Southern District
of New York or any state court located in New York County, State of New York,
and the Company agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or
otherwise, in any action, suit or proceeding, any claim that it is not
subject personally to the jurisdiction of such courts, that the action, suit
or proceeding if brought in such courts, would be an inconvenient forum, that
the venue of the action, suit or proceeding, if brought in any of such
courts, is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter may not be
enforced in or by such courts on jurisdictional grounds.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant to be signed in
its name by its duly authorized officer.

WARRANT
to Purchase Common Stock of
MACK-CALI REALTY CORPORATION
Expiring December 12, 2007
This Warrant certifies that James Mertz, or his registered and permitted
assigns (the "Holder"), is entitled to, subject to the terms set forth below,
subscribe for and purchase from Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (formerly Cali
Realty Corporation), a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), One Hundred
Twenty Five Thousand (125,000) duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable shares of the Company's common stock, $.01 par value per
share (the common stock, including any stock into which it may be changed,
reclassified, or converted, and as it may be adjusted pursuant to Section
4(B) below, is herein referred to as the "Common Stock"). This Warrant is
one of a class of Warrants (the "Mack Warrants") of the Company issued to
purchase an aggregate of Five Hundred Fourteen Thousand Nine Hundred and
Seventy-Six (514,976) shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Contribution and
Exchange Agreement dated September 18, 1997 by and between the Company,
Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. (formerly Cali Realty, L.P.), a Delaware limited
partnership, the Mack Contributors (as defined therein) and the Mack Entities
(as defined therein), as amended by that certain First Amendment dated as of
December 11, 1997.
This Warrant is subject to the following provisions, terms and conditions:
Section 1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
To exercise this Warrant in whole or in part, the Holder shall deliver to
the Company at its principal office in Cranford, New Jersey, (a) a written
notice, in substantially the form of the Exercise Notice appearing at the end of
this Warrant, of the Holder's election to exercise this Warrant, which notice
shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased, (b) cash or
a certified check payable to the Company, or such other consideration as
determined in accordance with Section 2(D) below, in an amount equal to the
aggregate purchase price of the number of shares of Common Stock being
purchased, and (c) this Warrant. The Company shall as promptly as practicable,
and in any event within 15 days thereafter, execute and deliver or cause to be
executed and delivered, in accordance with such notice, a stock certificate or
certificates representing the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
specified in such notice. The stock certificate or certificates so delivered
shall be in such denominations as may be specified in such notice and shall be
issued in the name of the Holder or, subject to Sections 2(E) and (F) and
Sections 4(H) and (I) below, such other name as shall be designated in such
notice. Such stock certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been
issued and the Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein
shall be deemed for all purposes to have become a holder of record of such
shares immediately prior to the close of business on the date such
<PAGE>
notice is received by the Company as aforesaid. If this Warrant shall have been
exercised only in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of said stock
certificate or certificates, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the
rights of the Holder to purchase the remaining shares of Common Stock called for
by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to
this Warrant, or, at the request of the Holder, appropriate notation may be made
on this Warrant and the same returned to the Holder. The Company shall pay all
expenses, taxes and other charges payable in connection with the preparation,
issue and delivery of such stock certificates and new Warrants, except that, in
case such stock certificates or new Warrants shall be registered in a name or
names other than the name of the Holder, funds sufficient to pay all stock
transfer taxes that are payable upon the issuance of such stock certificates or
new Warrants shall be paid by the Holder at the time of delivering the notice of
exercise mentioned above.
All shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall
be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, if the Common Stock is then
listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on an automated quotation
system, shall be duly listed or quoted thereon.
The Company shall not be required upon any exercise of this Warrant to
issue a certificate representing any fraction of a share of Common Stock, but,
in lieu thereof, shall pay to the Holder cash in an amount equal to a
corresponding fraction (calculated to the nearest 1/100 of a share) of the
purchase price of one share of Common Stock as of the date of receipt by the
Company of notice of exercise of this Warrant.
Section 2. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF WARRANTS.
(A) EXERCISE PERIOD. Each Warrant shall vest in five equal installments
(subject to acceleration in accordance with the terms of this Warrant), with
one-fifth of such Warrant vesting on December 31, 1997, one-fifth vesting on
December 31, 1998, one-fifth vesting on December 31, 1999, one-fifth vesting on
December 31, 2000, and one-fifth vesting December 31, 2001, and shall expire at
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 12, 2007, or in connection with the
Holder's earlier termination of employment with the Mack-Cali Texas Property,
L.P., the Company or any affiliate of them (the "Employer") as provided in
paragraph 2(E) below (the "Expiration Date").
(B) PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price per share of Common Stock shall be
equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date hereof. For
purposes of this paragraph 2(B), "fair market value" means the closing price as
quoted on the New York Stock Exchange at the end of the last business day
preceding the date hereof as reported in the New York edition of THE WALL STREET
JOURNAL. It is agreed that such purchase price is $38.75 per share.
(C) EXERCISE OF WARRANT. No part of any Warrant may be exercised at the
time of vesting unless the Holder shall have remained in the employ of the
Employer for such period as to which such portion of the Warrant has vested,
except as otherwise provided in paragraph 2(E) below.
2
<PAGE>
(D) PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE UPON EXERCISE. Subject to the terms of
Section 2(F) hereof, the purchase price of the Common Stock as to which a
Warrant is exercised shall be paid to the Company at the time of exercise either
in cash or in such other consideration as the Executive Compensation Committee
of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors") or such
other committee that the Board of Directors may appoint to administer the
Warrants (the "Committee"), deems appropriate, including, but not limited to,
loans from the Employer or a third party, Common Stock already owned by the
Holder having a total fair market value, as determined by the Committee, equal
to the purchase price, or a combination of cash and Common Stock having a total
fair market value, as so determined, equal to the purchase price. The Committee
in its sole discretion may also provide that the purchase price may be paid by
delivering a properly executed exercise notice in a form approved by the
Committee, together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly
deliver to the Company the amount of applicable sale or loan proceeds to pay the
purchase price.
(E) EXERCISE IN THE EVENT OF DEATH, DISABILITY, RETIREMENT OR OTHER
TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT, OR CHANGE IN CONTROL.
(1) DEATH OR DISABILITY. If a Holder's employment with the Employer
shall terminate because of his death or due to Disability (as defined
below), the Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate in whole or
in part, any or all Warrants which the Holder shall not then have been
entitled to exercise. If a Holder shall die (i) while an employee of the
Employer, or (ii) within twelve (12) months after termination of his
employment with the Employer due to Disability, such Holder's Warrants may
be exercised, to the extent that such Holder shall have been entitled to do
so on the date of his death or termination of employment due to Disability
(including, without limitation, by acceleration or otherwise) by the
Holder's Beneficiary (as defined below) or by the person or persons to whom
the Holder's rights under the Warrants pass by will or applicable law, or
if no such person has such right, by his executors or administrators, at
any time, or from time to time, but not later than the Expiration Date or
one year after the Holder's death, whichever date is earlier. If a
Holder's employment with the Employer shall terminate due to Disability,
such Holder may exercise his Warrants, to the extent that such Holder shall
have been entitled to do so at the date of the termination of his
employment (including, without limitation, by acceleration or otherwise),
at any time, or from time to time, but not later than the Expiration Date
or one year after termination of employment due to Disability, whichever
date is earlier.
(2) CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event of a Change in Control (as
defined below), the vesting of all Warrants which the Holder shall not then
have been entitled to exercise shall be accelerated concurrently with the
occurrence of the Change in Control and the Holder shall have the right to
exercise all such Warrants at any time or from time to time through the
Expiration Date.
(3) GOOD REASON. If a Holder terminates his employment for Good
Reason (as defined below), the Committee may, in its sole discretion,
accelerate in whole or in part, any or all Warrants which the Holder shall
not then have been entitled to exercise. If a
3
<PAGE>
Holder's employment with the Employer shall terminate for Good Reason, such
Holder may exercise his Warrants, to the extent that such Holder shall have
been entitled to do so at the date of the termination of his employment
(including, without limitation, by acceleration or otherwise), at any time,
or from time to time, but not later than the Expiration Date or ninety (90)
days after termination of employment, whichever date is earlier.
"Good Reason" shall mean (A) a reduction in the Holder's Annual Base
Salary (as defined in the Holder's employment agreement with the Employer
dated December 11, 1997 (the "Employment Agreement")) as in effect at the
time in question, or any other material failure by the to comply with
Paragraph 3 of the Employment Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the
event Holder is not awarded a bonus or other discretionary payment or
discretionary award described in Paragraph 3 of the Employment Agreement,
it shall not be deemed a failure or (B) failure of the Employer to obtain
the assumption of the obligation to perform the Employment Agreement by any
successor as contemplated in Paragraph 9(a) of the Employment Agreement.
(4) Subject to Section 4(A) below, if a Holder's employment shall
terminate for any reason other than death, Disability, Good Reason or a
Change in Control (each as defined below) as aforesaid, all rights to
exercise his Warrant shall terminate at the Expiration Date or three (3)
months after termination of employment, whichever date is earlier;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant
new Warrants or modify outstanding Warrants to permit their exercise upon a
Holder's termination of employment due to retirement with the consent of
the Employer until the earlier of the Expiration Date or twelve (12) months
after termination of employment.
"Beneficiary" means the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated in
accordance with Section 4(H) to receive the amount, if any, payable under
the Warrant upon the death of a Holder.
"Change in Control" means that any of the following events has
occurred:
(i) any "person" or "group" of persons, as such terms are used in
Sections 13 and 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), other than any employee benefit
plan sponsored by the Company, becomes the "beneficial owner",
as such term is used in Section 13 of the Exchange Act, of
thirty percent (30%) or more of the Common Stock of the
Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to such
acquisition;
(ii) any Common Stock of the Company is purchased pursuant to a
tender or exchange offer other than an offer by the Company;
or
(iii) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or the
consummation of any merger or consolidation of the
Company or any sale or other
4
<PAGE>
disposition of all or substantially all of its assets, if the
shareholders of the Company immediately before such
transaction own, immediately after consummation of such
transaction, equity securities (other than options and other
rights to acquire equity securities) possessing less than
thirty percent (30%) of the voting power of the surviving or
acquiring Company.
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no
Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred and no rights arising
upon a Change in Control described in Section 2(E) shall exist unless the
Board of Directors directs to the contrary by resolution adopted prior to
the Change in Control. Any resolution of the Board of Directors adopted in
accordance with the provisions of this Section directing that this Section
2(E) or any of such Section become ineffective may be rescinded or
countermanded at any time with or without retroactive effect by such Board.
"Disability" means the determination by the Employer, upon the advice
of an independent qualified physician, reasonably acceptable to the Holder,
that the Holder has become physically or mentally incapable of performing
his duties under his Employment Agreement and such disability has disabled
the Holder for a cumulative period of one hundred eighty (180) days within
a twelve (12) month period.
(F) REPURCHASE RIGHT. In the event of termination of the Holder's
employment as a result of either (i) death or Disability, (ii) termination by
the Employer for any reason other than Cause or (iii) termination by the Holder
of his employment for Good Reason, the Holder shall be entitled, at the option
of the Holder, his estate or his personal representative, within ninety (90)
days (one (1) year in the case of termination as a result of the Holder's death
or Disability) of the date of such termination, to require the Company (upon
written notice delivered within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date
of termination) to repurchase all or any portion of the Holder's vested Warrants
at a price equal to the difference between the repurchase fair market value (as
defined below) of the shares of Common Stock for which the Warrants to be
repurchased are exercisable and the exercise price of such Warrant as of the
date of the Holder's termination of employment. For purposes of this paragraph
2(F), "repurchase fair market value" means the average of the closing price on
the New York Stock Exchange of the Common Stock on each of the trading days
within the thirty (30) days immediately preceding the date of termination of the
Holder's employment.
(G) TRANSFERABILITY AND EXERCISE OF WARRANTS. Subject to the provisions
of any registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the
registration of shares of Common Stock underlying the Mack Warrants, no Warrant
shall be transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution. During the lifetime of the Holder, a Warrant shall be exercisable
only by the Holder. This Warrant shall be exercisable or convertible (a) only
under circumstances such that the issue of Common Stock issuable upon such
exercise or conversion is exempt from the requirements of registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and any applicable state
securities law or (b) upon registration of such Common Stock in compliance
therewith; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the foregoing shall not apply if
5
<PAGE>
this Warrant is exercised by the original Holder hereof. This Warrant shall be
transferable only under circumstances such that the transfer is exempt from the
requirements of registration under the 1933 Act and any applicable state
securities law. By acceptance hereof, the Holder agrees to comply with such
laws.
(H) INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION. The Holder, by acceptance hereof, (i)
hereby represents that he is an "Accredited Investor" under Rule 501(a) of
Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act, and (ii)
acknowledges that this Warrant and, to the extent not registered under the 1933
Act, any Common Stock purchased or acquired pursuant hereto is being or will be
acquired solely for the Holder's own account and not as a nominee for any other
party, and with a current investment intent and not with a view to distribution
thereof. The Holder (or any person acting under Sections 2(E), (F) or (G)
above) shall deliver to the Company, at the time of any exercise of a Warrant or
portion thereof, a written representation that the shares to be acquired upon
such exercise are to be acquired for investment and not for resale or with a
view to the distribution thereof, and, if applicable, that he is the original
Holder of this Warrant. Delivery of such representation prior to the delivery
of any Common Stock issued upon exercise of a Warrant and prior to the
expiration of the Warrant period shall be a condition precedent to the right of
the Holder or such other person to purchase any Common Stock. In the event
certificates for Common Stock are delivered upon the exercise of a Warrant with
respect to which such an investment representation has been obtained, the
Company may cause a legend or legends to be placed on such certificates to make
appropriate reference to such representations and to restrict transfer in the
absence of compliance with applicable federal or state securities laws.
Section 3. TRANSFER, DIVISION AND COMBINATION.
The Company agrees to maintain at its principal office in Cranford, New
Jersey, books for the registration and transfer of this Warrant, and, subject to
the provisions of Section 2(G) hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are
transferable, in whole or in part, on such books at such office, upon surrender
of this Warrant at such office, together with a written assignment of this
Warrant duly executed by the Holder or his agent or attorney and funds
sufficient to pay any stock transfer taxes payable upon the making of such
transfer. Upon such surrender and payment, the Company shall execute and
deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and
in the denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and this
Warrant shall promptly be canceled. A Warrant may be exercised by a new holder
for the purchase of shares of Common Stock without having a new Warrant issued.
All of the provisions of this Section 3 are subject to the provisions of
Sections 2(E), (F) and (G) above.
Section 4. GENERAL PROVISIONS
(A) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to
the contrary, if a Holder's employment is terminated for Cause, all Warrants, to
the extent not vested on the date of termination, shall be forfeited. "Cause"
shall mean (1) the willful and continued failure by the Holder to substantially
perform his duties under his Employment Agreement (other than any such failure
resulting from the Holder's incapacity due to physical or mental illness) for a
period of thirty
6
<PAGE>
(30) days after written demand for substantial performance is delivered by the
Employer specifically identifying the manner in which the Employer believes the
Holder has not substantially performed his duties, (2) willful misconduct by the
Holder which is materially injurious to the Employer or its affiliates,
monetarily or otherwise, or (3) the willful violation by the Holder of the
provisions of any covenant not to compete or breach of confidential information
described in Paragraphs 5 and 7 of the Employment Agreement. For purposes of
this Paragraph 4(A), no act, or failure to act, on the Holder's part shall be
considered "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by him not in good
faith and without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in
furtherance of the interests of the Employer or (D) conviction of, or plea of
guilty to a felony.
(B) CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS. In the event of any change in the Common Stock by
reason of any stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger,
consolidation, split-up, combination or exchange of shares, or any rights
offering to purchase Common Stock at a price substantially below fair market
value, or of any similar change affecting the Common Stock, the number and kind
of shares subject to Warrants in and the purchase price per share thereof shall
be appropriately adjusted consistent with such change in such manner as the
Committee may deem equitable to prevent substantial dilution or enlargement of
the rights granted to, or available for, the Holders hereunder. Any adjustment
of a Warrant pursuant to this Section 4(B) shall be made only to the extent not
constituting a "modification" within the meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, unless the holder
of such Warrant shall agree otherwise. The Committee shall give notice to each
Holder of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4(B) and, upon notice,
such adjustment shall be effective and binding for all purposes under this
Warrant.
(C) SUCCESSOR COMPANY. The obligations of the Company under this Warrant
shall be binding upon any successor Company or organization resulting from the
merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any
successor Company or organization succeeding to substantially all of the assets
and business of the Company. The Company agrees that it will make appropriate
provision for the preservation of Holders' rights under this Warrant in any
agreement or plan which it may enter into or adopt to effect any such merger,
consolidation, reorganization or transfer of assets.
(D) NO CLAIM OR RIGHT. Nothing contained herein nor any action taken
hereunder shall be construed as giving any employee any right to be retained in
the employ of the Company.
(E) AWARDS NOT TREATED AS COMPENSATION UNDER BENEFIT PLANS. No Warrant
shall be considered as compensation under any employee benefit plan of the
Employer or the Company, except as specifically provided in any such plan or as
otherwise determined by the Board of Directors.
(F) LISTING AND QUALIFICATION OF COMMON STOCK. The Company, in its
discretion, may postpone the issuance or delivery of Common Stock upon any
exercise of a Warrant until completion of such stock exchange listing or other
qualification of such shares under any state or federal law, rule or regulation
as the Company may consider appropriate, and may require any
7
<PAGE>
Holder, Beneficiary or legal representative to make such representations and
furnish such information as it may consider reasonably appropriate in connection
with the issuance or delivery of the shares in compliance with applicable laws,
rules and regulations. The Company covenants, however, to effect the listing of
the Common Stock underlying the Warrants on the New York Stock Exchange prior to
December 1998.
(G) TAXES. The Company may make such provisions and take such steps as it
may deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding of all federal, state and
local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to Warrants exercised
pursuant to this Agreement including, but not limited to (i) deducting the
amount required to be withheld from any other amount then or thereafter payable
to a Holder, Beneficiary or legal representative, and (ii) requiring a Holder,
Beneficiary or legal representative to pay to the Company the amount required to
be withheld as a condition of releasing Common Stock. In addition, subject to
such rules and regulations as the Committee shall from time to time establish,
Holders shall be permitted to satisfy federal, state and local taxes, if any,
imposed upon the issuance of Common Stock at a rate up to such Holder's maximum
marginal tax rate with respect to each such tax by (i) irrevocably electing to
have the Company deduct from the number of shares Common Stock otherwise
deliverable upon exercise of a Warrant such number of shares of Common Stock as
shall have a value equal to the amount of tax to be withheld, (ii) delivering to
the Company such portion of the Common Stock delivered upon exercise of the
Warrant as shall have a value equal to the amount of tax to be withheld, or
(iii) delivering to the Company such Common Stock or combination of Common Stock
and cash as shall have a value equal to the amount of tax to be withheld.
(H) DESIGNATION AND CHANGE OF BENEFICIARY. Each Holder shall file with
the Committee a written designation of one or more persons as the Beneficiary
who shall be entitled to receive the amount, if any, payable under this Warrant
upon his death. A Holder may, from time to time, revoke or change his
Beneficiary designation without the consent of any prior Beneficiary by filing a
new designation with the Committee. The last such designation received by the
Committee shall be controlling; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no designation, or
change or revocation thereof, shall be effective unless received by the
Committee prior to the Holder's death, and in no event shall it be effective as
of a date prior to such receipt.
(I) PAYMENTS TO PERSONS OTHER THAN A HOLDER. If the Committee shall find
that any person to whom any amount is payable under this Warrant is unable to
care for his affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, or has died,
then any payment due to such person or his estate (unless a prior claim therefor
has been made by a duly appointed legal representative), may, if the Committee
so directs the Company, be paid to his spouse, a child, a relative, an
institution maintaining or having custody of such person, or any other person
deemed by the Committee to be a proper recipient on behalf of such person
otherwise entitled to payment. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge
of the liability of the Committee and the Company therefor.
(J) GENERAL CREDITOR STATUS. Holders shall have no right, title, or
interest whatsoever in or to any investments which the Company may make to aid
it in meeting its obligations hereunder. Nothing contained herein, and no action
taken pursuant hereto, shall create or be con-
8
<PAGE>
strued to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the
Company and any Holder, Beneficiary, legal representative or any other person.
To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the
Company hereunder, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured
general creditor of the Company. All payments to be made hereunder shall be
paid from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall
be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of
such amounts except as expressly set forth herein; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in
its sole discretion, the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other
arrangements to meet the obligations created hereunder to deliver Common Stock
or pay cash; PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that, unless the Committee otherwise
determines with the consent of the affected Holder, the existence of such trusts
or other arrangements shall be consistent with the "unfunded" status of the
Employee Stock Option Plan of Cali Realty Corporation.
(K) NO LIABILITY OF COMMITTEE MEMBERS. The Holder of this Warrant agrees
that no member of the Committee shall be personally liable by reason of any
contract or other instrument executed by such member or on his behalf in his
capacity as a member of the Committee nor for any mistake of judgment made in
good faith.
Section 5. COVENANT TO RESERVE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.
The Company covenants and agrees that it will at all times reserve and set
apart and have, free from preemptive rights, a number of shares of authorized
but unissued Common Stock, or other stock or securities deliverable pursuant to
this Warrant, sufficient to enable it at any time to fulfill all its obligations
hereunder.
Section 6. NOTICES.
In the event that:
(a) the Company proposes to pay any dividend payable in stock (of
any class or classes) or any obligations or stock convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock upon its Common Stock or make any
distribution (other than ordinary cash dividends) to the holders of its
Common Stock,
(b) the Company proposes to grant to the holders of its Common
Stock generally any rights or Warrants (excluding any Warrants granted to
any employee, director, officer, contractor or consultant of the Company
pursuant to any plan approved by the Board of Directors of the Company),
(c) the Company proposes to effect any capital reorganization or
reclassification of capital stock of the Company,
(d) the Company proposes to consolidate with, or merge into, any
other Company or to transfer its property as an entirety or substantially
as an entirety, or
9
<PAGE>
(e) the Company proposes to effect the liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company,
then the Company shall cause notice of any such intended action to be given to
the holder of this Warrant not less than 30 days before the date on which the
transfer books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such
stock dividend, distribution or granting of rights or Warrants, or the date when
such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer,
liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall be effective, as the case may be.
Any notice or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered
to the holder of this Warrant shall be delivered by facsimile transmission,
reliable courier or first-class mail postage prepaid to the Holder at the last
address shown on the books of the Company maintained for the registry and
transfer of this Warrant. Any notice or other document required or permitted to
be given or delivered to holders of record of Common Stock issued pursuant to
this Warrant shall be delivered by facsimile, reliable courier or first-class
mail postage prepaid to Holder at Holder's address as the same appears on the
stock records of the Company. Any notice or other document required or
permitted to be given or delivered to the Company shall be delivered by
facsimile transmission, reliable courier or first-class mail postage prepaid to
the principal office of the Company in Cranford, New Jersey, or delivered to the
office of one of the Company's executive officers at such address, or such other
address as shall have been furnished by the Company to the holders of record of
such Warrants and the holders of record of such Common Stock.
Section 7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; NOT SHAREHOLDERS.
No provision of this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the
Holder the right to vote or to consent or to receive dividends or to receive
notice as a shareholder in respect of meetings of shareholders for the election
of directors of the Company or any other matter whatsoever as shareholders of
the Company. No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the
Holder to purchase shares of Common Stock, and no mere enumeration herein of the
rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of Holder
for the purchase price or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such
liability is asserted by the Company, creditors of the Company or others.
Section 8. LOSS, DESTRUCTION, ETC., OF WARRANT.
Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft,
mutilation or destruction of any Warrant, and in the case of any such loss,
theft or destruction upon delivery of a bond of indemnity in such form and
amount as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or in the event of
such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company
will make and deliver a new Warrant, of like tenor, in lieu of such lost,
stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant. Any Warrant issued under the provisions
of this Section 8 in lieu of any Warrant alleged to be lost, destroyed or
stolen, or of any mutilated Warrant, shall constitute an original contractual
obligation on the part of the Company.
10
<PAGE>
Section 9. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
As used in this Section 9, the term "Registrable Stock" shall mean (i)
all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant (and
all shares of Common Stock that may thereafter be issued in respect of such
Warrant) that is from time to time outstanding.
References in this Warrant to rules, regulations and forms promulgated
by the Securities and Exchange Commission shall include rules, regulations and
forms succeeding to the functions thereof, whether or not bearing the same
designation.
The rights and obligations of the Company and the Holder with respect
to the Registrable Stock are set forth in a Registration Rights Agreement, dated
December 11, 1997, between the Company, the Holder and the other signatories
thereto, and shall supersede any registration rights and obligations of the
Company and the Holder existing prior to the date hereof with respect to the
Registrable Stock.
Section 10. AMENDMENTS.
Neither this Warrant nor any term hereof may be changed, waived,
discharged or terminated orally or in writing, provided that any term of this
Warrant may be amended or the observance of such term may be waived (either
generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively)
with, but only with, the written consent of the Company and the holders of the
Mack Warrants that are exercisable for a number of shares of Common Stock that
represent in the aggregate at least a majority of the total number of shares of
Common Stock for which all of the Mack Warrants are then exercisable (whether or
not the holder of this Warrant consents).
Section 11. GOVERNING LAW AND CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.
This Warrant shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without
regard to its conflict of laws principles or rules. This Warrant shall be

WARRANT
to Purchase Common Stock of
MACK-CALI REALTY CORPORATION
Expiring December 12, 2007
This Warrant certifies that James Clabby, or his registered and permitted
assigns (the "Holder"), is entitled to, subject to the terms set forth below,
subscribe for and purchase from Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (formerly Cali
Realty Corporation), a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), Fifty Thousand
(50,000) duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares
of the Company's common stock, $.01 par value per share (the common stock,
including any stock into which it may be changed, reclassified, or converted,
and as it may be adjusted pursuant to Section 4(B) below, is herein referred
to as the "Common Stock"). This Warrant is one of a class of Warrants (the
"Mack Warrants") of the Company issued to purchase an aggregate of Five
Hundred Fourteen Thousand Nine Hundred and Seventy-Six (514,976) shares of
Common Stock pursuant to the Contribution and Exchange Agreement dated
September 18, 1997 by and between the Company, Mack-Cali Realty, L.P.
(formerly Cali Realty, L.P.), a Delaware limited partnership, the Mack
Contributors (as defined therein) and the Mack Entities (as defined therein),
as amended by that certain First Amendment dated as of December 11, 1997.
This Warrant is subject to the following provisions, terms and conditions:
Section 1. Exercise of Warrant.
To exercise this Warrant in whole or in part, the Holder shall deliver to
the Company at its principal office in Cranford, New Jersey, (a) a written
notice, in substantially the form of the Exercise Notice appearing at the end
of this Warrant, of the Holder's election to exercise this Warrant, which
notice shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased,
(b) cash or a certified check payable to the Company, or such other
consideration as determined in accordance with Section 2(D) below, in an
amount equal to the aggregate purchase price of the number of shares of
Common Stock being purchased, and (c) this Warrant. The Company shall as
promptly as practicable, and in any event within 15 days thereafter, execute
and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered, in accordance with such
notice, a stock certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number
of shares of Common Stock specified in such notice. The stock certificate or
certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be specified
in such notice and shall be issued in the name of the Holder or, subject to
Sections 2(E) and (F) and Sections 4(H) and (I) below, such other name as
shall be designated in such notice. Such stock certificate or certificates
shall be deemed to have been issued and the Holder or any other person so
designated to be named therein shall be deemed for all purposes to have
become a holder of record of such shares immediately prior to the close of
business on the date such
<PAGE>
notice is received by the Company as aforesaid. If this Warrant shall have
been exercised only in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of
said stock certificate or certificates, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant
evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the remaining shares of
Common Stock called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other
respects be identical to this Warrant, or, at the request of the Holder,
appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant and the same returned to the
Holder. The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes and other charges payable
in connection with the preparation, issue and delivery of such stock
certificates and new Warrants, except that, in case such stock certificates
or new Warrants shall be registered in a name or names other than the name of
the Holder, funds sufficient to pay all stock transfer taxes that are payable
upon the issuance of such stock certificates or new Warrants shall be paid by
the Holder at the time of delivering the notice of exercise mentioned above.
All shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall
be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, if the Common Stock is
then listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on an automated
quotation system, shall be duly listed or quoted thereon.
The Company shall not be required upon any exercise of this Warrant to
issue a certificate representing any fraction of a share of Common Stock,
but, in lieu thereof, shall pay to the Holder cash in an amount equal to a
corresponding fraction (calculated to the nearest 1/100 of a share) of the
purchase price of one share of Common Stock as of the date of receipt by the
Company of notice of exercise of this Warrant.
Section 2. Terms and Conditions of Warrants.
(A) Exercise Period. Each Warrant shall vest in five equal installments
(subject to acceleration in accordance with the terms of this Warrant), with
one-fifth of such Warrant vesting on December 31, 1997, one-fifth vesting on
December 31, 1998, one-fifth vesting on December 31, 1999, one-fifth vesting
on December 31, 2000, and one-fifth vesting on December 31, 2001, and shall
expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 12, 2007, or in
connection with the Holder's earlier termination of employment with the
Mack-Cali Texas Property, L.P. , the Company or any affiliate of them (the
"Employer") as provided in paragraph 2(E) below (the "Expiration Date").
(B) Purchase Price. The purchase price per share of Common Stock shall
be equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date hereof.
For purposes of this paragraph 2(B), "fair market value" means the closing
price as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange at the end of the last
business day preceding the date hereof as reported in the New York edition of
The Wall Street Journal. It is agreed that such purchase price is $38.75 per
share.
(C) Exercise of Warrant. No part of any Warrant may be exercised at the
time of vesting unless the Holder shall have remained in the employ of the
Employer for such period as to which such portion of the Warrant has vested,
except as otherwise provided in paragraph 2(E) below.
2
<PAGE>
(D) Payment of Purchase Price upon Exercise. Subject to the terms
of Section 2(F) hereof, the purchase price of the Common Stock as to which a
Warrant is exercised shall be paid to the Company at the time of exercise
either in cash or in such other consideration as the Executive Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors")
or such other committee that the Board of Directors may appoint to administer
the Warrants (the "Committee"), deems appropriate, including, but not limited
to, loans from the Employer or a third party, Common Stock already owned by
the Holder having a total fair market value, as determined by the Committee,
equal to the purchase price, or a combination of cash and Common Stock having
a total fair market value, as so determined, equal to the purchase price. The
Committee in its sole discretion may also provide that the purchase price may
be paid by delivering a properly executed exercise notice in a form approved
by the Committee, together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to
promptly deliver to the Company the amount of applicable sale or loan
proceeds to pay the purchase price.
(E) Exercise in the Event of Death, Disability, Retirement or Other
Termination of Employment, or Change in Control.
(1) Death or Disability. If a Holder's employment with the Employer
shall terminate because of his death or due to Disability (as defined
below), the Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate in whole or
in part, any or all Warrants which the Holder shall not then have been
entitled to exercise. If a Holder shall die (i) while an employee of the
Employer, or (ii) within twelve (12) months after termination of his
employment with the Employer due to Disability, such Holder's Warrants may
be exercised, to the extent that such Holder shall have been entitled to do
so on the date of his death or termination of employment due to Disability
(including, without limitation, by acceleration or otherwise) by the
Holder's Beneficiary (as defined below) or by the person or persons to whom
the Holder's rights under the Warrants pass by will or applicable law, or
if no such person has such right, by his executors or administrators, at
any time, or from time to time, but not later than the Expiration Date or
one year after the Holder's death, whichever date is earlier. If a
Holder's employment with the Employer shall terminate due to Disability,
such Holder may exercise his Warrants, to the extent that such Holder shall
have been entitled to do so at the date of the termination of his
employment (including, without limitation, by acceleration or otherwise),
at any time, or from time to time, but not later than the Expiration Date
or one year after termination of employment due to Disability, whichever
date is earlier.
(2) Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control (as
defined below), the vesting of all Warrants which the Holder shall not then
have been entitled to exercise shall be accelerated concurrently with the
occurrence of the Change in Control and the Holder shall have the right to
exercise all such Warrants at any time or from time to time through the
Expiration Date.
(3) Good Reason. If a Holder terminates his employment for Good
Reason (as defined below), the Committee may, in its sole discretion,
accelerate in whole or in part, any or all Warrants which the Holder shall
not then have been entitled to exercise. If a
3
<PAGE>
Holder's employment with the Employer shall terminate for Good Reason, such
Holder may exercise his Warrants, to the extent that such Holder shall have
been entitled to do so at the date of the termination of his employment
(including, without limitation, by acceleration or otherwise), at any time,
or from time to time, but not later than the Expiration Date or ninety (90)
days after termination of employment, whichever date is earlier.
"Good Reason" shall mean (A) a reduction in the Holder's Annual Base
Salary (as defined in the Holder's employment agreement with the Employer
dated December 11, 1997 (the "Employment Agreement")) as in effect at the
time in question, or any other material failure by the to comply with
Paragraph 3 of the Employment Agreement; provided, however, that in the
event Holder is not awarded a bonus or other discretionary payment or
discretionary award described in Paragraph 3 of the Employment Agreement,
it shall not be deemed a failure or (B) failure of the Employer to obtain
the assumption of the obligation to perform the Employment Agreement by any
successor as contemplated in Paragraph 9(a) of the Employment Agreement.
(4) Subject to Section 4(A) below, if a Holder's employment shall
terminate for any reason other than death, Disability, Good Reason or a
Change in Control (each as defined below) as aforesaid, all rights to
exercise his Warrant shall terminate at the Expiration Date or three (3)
months after termination of employment, whichever date is earlier;
provided, however, that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant
new Warrants or modify outstanding Warrants to permit their exercise upon a
Holder's termination of employment due to retirement with the consent of
the Employer until the earlier of the Expiration Date or twelve (12) months
after termination of employment.
"Beneficiary" means the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated in
accordance with Section 4(H) to receive the amount, if any, payable under
the Warrant upon the death of a Holder.
"Change in Control" means that any of the following events has
occurred:
(i) any "person" or "group" of persons, as such terms are used in
Sections 13 and 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), other than any employee benefit
plan sponsored by the Company, becomes the "beneficial owner",
as such term is used in Section 13 of the Exchange Act, of
thirty percent (30%) or more of the Common Stock of the Company
issued and outstanding immediately prior to such acquisition;
(ii) any Common Stock of the Company is purchased pursuant to a
tender or exchange offer other than an offer by the Company; or
(iii) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or the
consummation of any merger or consolidation of the Company or
any sale or other
4
<PAGE>
disposition of all or substantially all of its assets, if the
shareholders of the Company immediately before such transaction
own, immediately after consummation of such transaction, equity
securities (other than options and other rights to acquire equity
securities) possessing less than thirty percent (30%) of the
voting power of the surviving or acquiring Company.
provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no
Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred and no rights arising
upon a Change in Control described in Section 2(E) shall exist unless the
Board of Directors directs to the contrary by resolution adopted prior to
the Change in Control. Any resolution of the Board of Directors adopted in
accordance with the provisions of this Section directing that this Section
2(E) or any of such Section become ineffective may be rescinded or
countermanded at any time with or without retroactive effect by such Board.
"Disability" means the determination by the Employer, upon the advice
of an independent qualified physician, reasonably acceptable to the Holder,
that the Holder has become physically or mentally incapable of performing
his duties under his Employment Agreement and such disability has disabled
the Holder for a cumulative period of one hundred eighty (180) days within
a twelve (12) month period.
(F) Repurchase Right. In the event of termination of the Holder's
employment as a result of either (i) death or Disability, (ii) termination by
the Employer for any reason other than Cause or (iii) termination by the Holder
of his employment for Good Reason, the Holder shall be entitled, at the option
of the Holder, his estate or his personal representative, within ninety (90)
days (one (1) year in the case of termination as a result of the Holder's death
or Disability) of the date of such termination, to require the Company (upon
written notice delivered within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date
of termination) to repurchase all or any portion of the Holder's vested Warrants
at a price equal to the difference between the repurchase fair market value (as
defined below) of the shares of Common Stock for which the Warrants to be
repurchased are exercisable and the exercise price of such Warrant as of the
date of the Holder's termination of employment. For purposes of this paragraph
2(F), "repurchase fair market value" means the average of the closing price on
the New York Stock Exchange of the Common Stock on each of the trading days
within the thirty (30) days immediately preceding the date of termination of the
Holder's employment.
(G) Transferability and Exercise of Warrants. Subject to the provisions
of any registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the
registration of shares of Common Stock underlying the Mack Warrants, no Warrant
shall be transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution. During the lifetime of the Holder, a Warrant shall be exercisable
only by the Holder. This Warrant shall be exercisable or convertible (a) only
under circumstances such that the issue of Common Stock issuable upon such
exercise or conversion is exempt from the requirements of registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and any applicable state
securities law or (b) upon registration of such Common Stock in compliance
therewith; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply if
5
<PAGE>
this Warrant is exercised by the original Holder hereof. This Warrant shall
be transferable only under circumstances such that the transfer is exempt
from the requirements of registration under the 1933 Act and any applicable
state securities law. By acceptance hereof, the Holder agrees to comply with
such laws.
(H) Investment Representation. The Holder, by acceptance hereof, (i)
hereby represents that he is an "Accredited Investor" under Rule 501(a) of
Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act, and (ii)
acknowledges that this Warrant and, to the extent not registered under the 1933
Act, any Common Stock purchased or acquired pursuant hereto is being or will be
acquired solely for the Holder's own account and not as a nominee for any other
party, and with a current investment intent and not with a view to distribution
thereof. The Holder (or any person acting under Sections 2(E), (F) or (G)
above) shall deliver to the Company, at the time of any exercise of a Warrant or
portion thereof, a written representation that the shares to be acquired upon
such exercise are to be acquired for investment and not for resale or with a
view to the distribution thereof, and, if applicable, that he is the original
Holder of this Warrant. Delivery of such representation prior to the delivery
of any Common Stock issued upon exercise of a Warrant and prior to the
expiration of the Warrant period shall be a condition precedent to the right of
the Holder or such other person to purchase any Common Stock. In the event
certificates for Common Stock are delivered upon the exercise of a Warrant with
respect to which such an investment representation has been obtained, the
Company may cause a legend or legends to be placed on such certificates to make
appropriate reference to such representations and to restrict transfer in the
absence of compliance with applicable federal or state securities laws.
Section 3. Transfer, Division and Combination.
The Company agrees to maintain at its principal office in Cranford, New
Jersey, books for the registration and transfer of this Warrant, and, subject to
the provisions of Section 2(G) hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are
transferable, in whole or in part, on such books at such office, upon surrender
of this Warrant at such office, together with a written assignment of this
Warrant duly executed by the Holder or his agent or attorney and funds
sufficient to pay any stock transfer taxes payable upon the making of such
transfer. Upon such surrender and payment, the Company shall execute and
deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and
in the denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and this
Warrant shall promptly be canceled. A Warrant may be exercised by a new holder
for the purchase of shares of Common Stock without having a new Warrant issued.
All of the provisions of this Section 3 are subject to the provisions of
Sections 2(E), (F) and (G) above.
Section 4. General Provisions
(A) Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to
the contrary, if a Holder's employment is terminated for Cause, all Warrants, to
the extent not vested on the date of termination, shall be forfeited. "Cause"
shall mean (1) the willful and continued failure by the Holder to substantially
perform his duties under his Employment Agreement (other than any such failure
resulting from the Holder's incapacity due to physical or mental illness) for a
period of thirty
6
<PAGE>
(30) days after written demand for substantial performance is delivered by
the Employer specifically identifying the manner in which the Employer
believes the Holder has not substantially performed his duties, (2) willful
misconduct by the Holder which is materially injurious to the Employer or its
affiliates, monetarily or otherwise, or (3) the willful violation by the
Holder of the provisions of any covenant not to compete or breach of
confidential information described in Paragraphs 5 and 7 of the Employment
Agreement. For purposes of this Paragraph 4(A), no act, or failure to act,
on the Holder's part shall be considered "willful" unless done, or omitted to
be done, by him not in good faith and without reasonable belief that his
action or omission was in furtherance of the interests of the Employer or (D)
conviction of, or plea of guilty to a felony.
(B) Certain Adjustments. In the event of any change in the Common
Stock by reason of any stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger,
consolidation, split-up, combination or exchange of shares, or any rights
offering to purchase Common Stock at a price substantially below fair market
value, or of any similar change affecting the Common Stock, the number and kind
of shares subject to Warrants in and the purchase price per share thereof shall
be appropriately adjusted consistent with such change in such manner as the
Committee may deem equitable to prevent substantial dilution or enlargement of
the rights granted to, or available for, the Holders hereunder. Any adjustment
of a Warrant pursuant to this Section 4(B) shall be made only to the extent not
constituting a "modification" within the meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, unless the holder
of such Warrant shall agree otherwise. The Committee shall give notice to each
Holder of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4(B) and, upon notice,
such adjustment shall be effective and binding for all purposes under this
Warrant.
(C) Successor Company. The obligations of the Company under this Warrant
shall be binding upon any successor Company or organization resulting from the
merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any
successor Company or organization succeeding to substantially all of the assets
and business of the Company. The Company agrees that it will make appropriate
provision for the preservation of Holders' rights under this Warrant in any
agreement or plan which it may enter into or adopt to effect any such merger,
consolidation, reorganization or transfer of assets.
(D) No Claim or Right. Nothing contained herein nor any action taken
hereunder shall be construed as giving any employee any right to be retained in
the employ of the Company.
(E) Awards Not Treated as Compensation Under Benefit Plans. No Warrant
shall be considered as compensation under any employee benefit plan of the
Employer or the Company, except as specifically provided in any such plan or as
otherwise determined by the Board of Directors.
(F) Listing and Qualification of Common Stock. The Company, in its
discretion, may postpone the issuance or delivery of Common Stock upon any
exercise of a Warrant until completion of such stock exchange listing or other
qualification of such shares under any state or federal law, rule or regulation
as the Company may consider appropriate, and may require any
7
<PAGE>
Holder, Beneficiary or legal representative to make such representations and
furnish such information as it may consider reasonably appropriate in
connection with the issuance or delivery of the shares in compliance with
applicable laws, rules and regulations. The Company covenants, however, to
effect the listing of the Common Stock underlying the Warrants on the New
York Stock Exchange prior to December 1998.
(G) Taxes. The Company may make such provisions and take such steps as it
may deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding of all federal, state and
local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to Warrants exercised
pursuant to this Agreement including, but not limited to (i) deducting the
amount required to be withheld from any other amount then or thereafter payable
to a Holder, Beneficiary or legal representative, and (ii) requiring a Holder,
Beneficiary or legal representative to pay to the Company the amount required to
be withheld as a condition of releasing Common Stock. In addition, subject to
such rules and regulations as the Committee shall from time to time establish,
Holders shall be permitted to satisfy federal, state and local taxes, if any,
imposed upon the issuance of Common Stock at a rate up to such Holder's maximum
marginal tax rate with respect to each such tax by (i) irrevocably electing to
have the Company deduct from the number of shares Common Stock otherwise
deliverable upon exercise of a Warrant such number of shares of Common Stock as
shall have a value equal to the amount of tax to be withheld, (ii) delivering to
the Company such portion of the Common Stock delivered upon exercise of the
Warrant as shall have a value equal to the amount of tax to be withheld, or
(iii) delivering to the Company such Common Stock or combination of Common Stock
and cash as shall have a value equal to the amount of tax to be withheld.
(H) Designation and Change of Beneficiary. Each Holder shall file with
the Committee a written designation of one or more persons as the Beneficiary
who shall be entitled to receive the amount, if any, payable under this Warrant
upon his death. A Holder may, from time to time, revoke or change his
Beneficiary designation without the consent of any prior Beneficiary by filing a
new designation with the Committee. The last such designation received by the
Committee shall be controlling; provided, however, that no designation, or
change or revocation thereof, shall be effective unless received by the
Committee prior to the Holder's death, and in no event shall it be effective as
of a date prior to such receipt.
(I) Payments to Persons Other Than A Holder. If the Committee shall find
that any person to whom any amount is payable under this Warrant is unable to
care for his affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, or has died,
then any payment due to such person or his estate (unless a prior claim therefor
has been made by a duly appointed legal representative), may, if the Committee
so directs the Company, be paid to his spouse, a child, a relative, an
institution maintaining or having custody of such person, or any other person
deemed by the Committee to be a proper recipient on behalf of such person
otherwise entitled to payment. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge
of the liability of the Committee and the Company therefor.
(J) General Creditor Status. Holders shall have no right, title, or
interest whatsoever in or to any investments which the Company may make to aid
it in meeting its obligations hereunder. Nothing contained herein, and no action
taken pursuant hereto, shall create or be construed
8
<PAGE>
to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the
Company and any Holder, Beneficiary, legal representative or any other
person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments
from the Company hereunder, such right shall be no greater than the right of
an unsecured general creditor of the Company. All payments to be made
hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company and no special
or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be
made to assure payment of such amounts except as expressly set forth herein;
provided, however, that in its sole discretion, the Committee may authorize
the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created
hereunder to deliver Common Stock or pay cash; provided, further, however,
that, unless the Committee otherwise determines with the consent of the
affected Holder, the existence of such trusts or other arrangements shall be
consistent with the "unfunded" status of the Employee Stock Option Plan of
Cali Realty Corporation.
(K) No Liability of Committee Members. The Holder of this Warrant agrees
that no member of the Committee shall be personally liable by reason of any
contract or other instrument executed by such member or on his behalf in his
capacity as a member of the Committee nor for any mistake of judgment made in
good faith.
Section 5. Covenant to Reserve Shares of Common Stock.
The Company covenants and agrees that it will at all times reserve and set
apart and have, free from preemptive rights, a number of shares of authorized
but unissued Common Stock, or other stock or securities deliverable pursuant to
this Warrant, sufficient to enable it at any time to fulfill all its obligations
hereunder.
Section 6. Notices.
In the event that:
(a) the Company proposes to pay any dividend payable in stock (of any
class or classes) or any obligations or stock convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock upon its Common Stock or make any
distribution (other than ordinary cash dividends) to the holders of its
Common Stock,
(b) the Company proposes to grant to the holders of its Common Stock
generally any rights or Warrants (excluding any Warrants granted to any
employee, director, officer, contractor or consultant of the Company
pursuant to any plan approved by the Board of Directors of the Company),
(c) the Company proposes to effect any capital reorganization or
reclassification of capital stock of the Company,
(d) the Company proposes to consolidate with, or merge into, any
other Company or to transfer its property as an entirety or substantially
as an entirety, or
9
<PAGE>
(e) the Company proposes to effect the liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company,
then the Company shall cause notice of any such intended action to be given to
the holder of this Warrant not less than 30 days before the date on which the
transfer books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such
stock dividend, distribution or granting of rights or Warrants, or the date when
such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer,
liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall be effective, as the case may be.
Any notice or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered
to the holder of this Warrant shall be delivered by facsimile transmission,
reliable courier or first-class mail postage prepaid to the Holder at the last
address shown on the books of the Company maintained for the registry and
transfer of this Warrant. Any notice or other document required or permitted to
be given or delivered to holders of record of Common Stock issued pursuant to
this Warrant shall be delivered by facsimile, reliable courier or first-class
mail postage prepaid to Holder at Holder's address as the same appears on the
stock records of the Company. Any notice or other document required or
permitted to be given or delivered to the Company shall be delivered by
facsimile transmission, reliable courier or first-class mail postage prepaid to
the principal office of the Company in Cranford, New Jersey, or delivered to the
office of one of the Company's executive officers at such address, or such other
address as shall have been furnished by the Company to the holders of record of
such Warrants and the holders of record of such Common Stock.
Section 7. Limitation of Liability; Not Shareholders.
No provision of this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the
Holder the right to vote or to consent or to receive dividends or to receive
notice as a shareholder in respect of meetings of shareholders for the election
of directors of the Company or any other matter whatsoever as shareholders of
the Company. No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the
Holder to purchase shares of Common Stock, and no mere enumeration herein of the
rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of Holder
for the purchase price or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such
liability is asserted by the Company, creditors of the Company or others.
Section 8. Loss, Destruction, etc., of Warrant.
Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft,
mutilation or destruction of any Warrant, and in the case of any such loss,
theft or destruction upon delivery of a bond of indemnity in such form and
amount as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or in the event of
such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company
will make and deliver a new Warrant, of like tenor, in lieu of such lost,
stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant. Any Warrant issued under the provisions
of this Section 8 in lieu of any Warrant alleged to be lost, destroyed or
stolen, or of any mutilated Warrant, shall constitute an original contractual
obligation on the part of the Company.
10
<PAGE>
Section 9. Registration Rights.
As used in this Section 9, the term "Registrable Stock" shall mean (i)
all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant (and
all shares of Common Stock that may thereafter be issued in respect of such
Warrant) that is from time to time outstanding.
References in this Warrant to rules, regulations and forms promulgated
by the Securities and Exchange Commission shall include rules, regulations and
forms succeeding to the functions thereof, whether or not bearing the same
designation.
The rights and obligations of the Company and the Holder with respect
to the Registrable Stock are set forth in a Registration Rights Agreement, dated
December 11, 1997, between the Company, the Holder and the other signatories
thereto, and shall supersede any registration rights and obligations of the
Company and the Holder existing prior to the date hereof with respect to the
Registrable Stock.
Section 10. Amendments.
Neither this Warrant nor any term hereof may be changed, waived,
discharged or terminated orally or in writing, provided that any term of this
Warrant may be amended or the observance of such term may be waived (either
generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively)
with, but only with, the written consent of the Company and the holders of the
Mack Warrants that are exercisable for a number of shares of Common Stock that
represent in the aggregate at least a majority of the total number of shares of
Common Stock for which all of the Mack Warrants are then exercisable (whether or
not the holder of this Warrant consents).
Section 11. Governing Law and Consent to Jurisdiction.
This Warrant shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without
regard to its conflict of laws principles or rules. This Warrant shall be
deemed to have been executed and delivered at and shall be deemed to have been
made in New York, New York.
Any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Warrant may only be instituted in any federal court of the Southern District of
New York or any state court located in New York County, State of New York, and
the Company agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise,
in any action, suit or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally
to the jurisdiction of such courts, that the action, suit or proceeding if
brought in such courts, would be an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the
action, suit or proceeding, if brought in any of such courts, is improper or
that this Agreement or the subject matter may not be enforced in or by such
courts on jurisdictional grounds.

2. COMPANY REGISTRATION.
2.1 At any time after April 30, 1999, if the Company shall
determine to register any of its shares of Common Stock or other securities
("Other Securities") issued by it having terms substantially similar to the
Common Stock, either for its own account or the account of a security holder or
holders exercising any demand registration rights, other than a registration
relating solely to employee benefit plans or a registration relating solely to a
Rule 145 (under the Securities Act) transaction, the Company will:
(a) promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof (which shall
include a list of the jurisdictions in which the Company intends to attempt
to qualify such securities
3
<PAGE>
under the applicable blue sky or other state securities laws); and
(b) include in such registration (and any related qualification under
blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved
therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or
requests made by any Holder within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the
written notice from the Company described in clause (a) above, except as
set forth in Section 2.3 below. Such written request may specify all or a
part of a Holder's Registrable Securities.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights under this Section 2.1 shall not
apply to any Holder if the Company has not included in the shares to be
registered thereunder shares of stock held by any holder, other than the
Company.
2.2 UNDERWRITING. If the registration of which the Company gives
notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the
Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given
pursuant to Section 2.1(a). The right of any Holder to require registration
pursuant to this Section 2 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation
in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities
in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to
distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the
Company and any officers, directors or Other Shareholders (as defined below)
distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the
underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company. "Other Shareholders" shall
mean Persons who, by virtue of their agreements with the Company, are entitled
to include their securities in such registration, which includes officers,
directors and Persons requesting registration under the 1994 Registration Rights
Agreement or the RM Registration Rights Agreement.
2.3 LIMITATIONS ON SHARES TO BE INCLUDED. With respect to Company
registrations, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2, if the
representative of the underwriters advises the Company in writing that marketing
factors require a limitation or elimination on the number of shares to be
underwritten, the representative may (subject to the allocation priority set
forth below) limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the
registration and underwriting. The Company shall so advise all Holders of
securities requesting registration, and the number of shares of securities that
are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be
allocated FIRST, to the Company for securities being sold for its own account or
to the security holder or holders exercising any demand registration rights on
such security holder or holders' account, and SECOND, among all such Holders
requesting registration hereunder or Other Shareholders requesting registration
pursuant to the exercise of piggyback registration rights, in each case in
proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable
Securities or other securities of the Company (the "Additional Shares") which
are held by such Holders or Other Shareholders which they had requested to be
included in such registration at the time of filing the registration statement.
If any Holder of Registrable Securities or any Other Shareholder disapproves of
the terms of any such underwriting, he may elect to withdraw therefrom by
written notice to the Company and the underwriter. The limitations contained in
this Section 2.3 shall not apply in any respect to Section 2.6 below.
4
<PAGE>
2.4 WITHDRAWAL FROM REGISTRATION. Any Holder requesting inclusion
of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2 may, at any time prior to
the effective date of the registration statement relating to such registration,
revoke such request by delivering written notice of such revocation to the
Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Company, in consultation with its
financial and legal advisors, determines that such revocation would materially
delay the registration or otherwise require a recirculation of the prospectus
contained in the registration statement, then such Holder shall have no such
right to revoke its request. If the withdrawal of any Registrable Securities or
Additional Shares would allow, within the marketing limitations set forth above,
the inclusion in the underwriting of a greater number of shares of Registrable
Securities or Additional Shares, then, to the extent practicable and without
delaying the underwriting, the Company shall offer to the Holders and to the
Other Shareholders an opportunity to include additional shares of Registrable
Securities or Additional Shares, as the case may be, in the proportions and in
the priorities discussed in Section 2.3 above.
2.5 TERMINATION OR WITHDRAWAL BY COMPANY. The Company shall have
the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this
Section 2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any
Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.
2.6 CERTAIN SHELF REGISTRATIONS. The foregoing notwithstanding, on
December 11, 1998 (the "Anniversary Date"), or as soon thereafter as is
reasonably practicable, the Company shall, at its expense, register the
Registrable Securities for resale, and, if necessary to permit their issuance to
an Investor or its permitted transferees, for initial issuance upon redemption
of Mack Units or exercise of the Stock Warrants, through a shelf registration
statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, which shelf
registration statement shall cover only the Registrable Securities. The Company
shall, at its expense, use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of
such registration statement until the earlier of (i) such time as when all of
the Registrable Securities have been disposed of or (ii) three (3) years after
the redemption or exercise, as the case may be, of all of the Mack Units and
Stock Warrants (including Mack Units received upon conversion of Preferred Units
or exercise of the Unit Warrants) into Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything
in this Section 2.6 to the contrary, if at the Anniversary Date the Company
determines, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company,
with the advice of counsel, that the filing of such shelf registration statement
would require the disclosure of non-public material information the disclosure
of which would have a material adverse effect on the Company or would otherwise
adversely affect a material financing, acquisition, disposition, merger or other
significant transaction, the Company shall deliver a certificate to such effect
signed by its President or any Vice President to the Holders and the Company
shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 2.6
until the earlier of (A) three (3) days after the date upon which such material
information is disclosed to the public or ceases to be material or (B) 90 days
after the Company makes such good faith determination.
3. REQUESTED REGISTRATION.
3.1 REQUEST FOR REGISTRATION. At any time on or after April 30,
1999, if any Registrable Securities are outstanding and the Holders (and any
prior holder) have not yet had the opportunity to register such shares pursuant
to Section 2 above, including without limitation
5
<PAGE>
pursuant to Section 2.6 above, upon written notice from Initiating Holders
requesting that the Company effect any registration with respect to all or part
of the Registrable Securities held by such Initiating Holders, the Company shall
(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all other
Holders (the "Demand Registration Notice") and (b) as soon as practicable but
not later than sixty (60) days after receipt of the request from the Initiating
Holders, use its reasonable best efforts, as that phrase is commonly understood
to mean in registration rights agreements, and take all appropriate action to
effect such registration (including, without limitation, the execution of an
undertaking to file post-effective amendments, appropriate qualification under
the blue sky or other state securities laws requested by Initiating Holders and
appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities
Act) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and
distribution of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are
specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable
Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in
a written request given within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Demand
Registration Notice; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that:
(i) if, upon receipt of a registration request pursuant to this
Section 3, the Company is advised in writing by a nationally recognized
independent investment banking firm selected by the Company to act as lead
underwriter in connection with a public offering of securities by the
Company (a "Company Offering") that, in such firm's opinion, a registration
at the time and on the terms requested would materially adversely affect
such Company Offering that had been contemplated by the Company prior to
the notice by the Initiating Holders, the Company shall not be required to
effect a registration pursuant to this Section 3 until the earliest of (A)
three months after the completion of such Company Offering, (B) the
termination of any "black out" period, if any, required by the underwriters
to be applicable to any Holder who has requested to have any Registrable
Securities registered in connection with such registration, (C) promptly
after abandonment of such Company Offering or (D) four months after the
date of written notice from the Initiating Holders demanding registration
pursuant to this Section 3;
(ii) if, while a registration request is pending pursuant to this
Section 3, the Company determines, in the good faith judgment of the Board
of Directors of the Company, with the advice of counsel, that the filing of
a registration statement would require the disclosure of non-public
material information the disclosure of which would have a material adverse
effect on the Company or would otherwise adversely affect a material
financing, acquisition, disposition, merger or other significant
transaction, the Company shall deliver a certificate to such effect signed
by its President or any Vice President to the proposed selling Holders and
the Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this
Section 3 until the earlier of (A) three (3) days after the date upon which
such material information is disclosed to the public or ceases to be
material or (B) 90 days after the Company makes such good faith
determination; and
(iii) the provisions of this Section 3 shall not be applicable if a
Shelf Registration under Section 2.6 hereof is effective and available for
use (unless Holders desire to dispose of such shares pursuant to an
underwritten public offering as contemplated by Section 3.4 hereof, in
which case the rights granted under this Section 3.1 shall apply without
regard to whether or not such Holders had an opportunity to register such
shares
6
<PAGE>
pursuant to Section 2.6 above)
3.2 COMPANY SHARES TO BE INCLUDED. The registration statement
filed pursuant to the request of the Initiating Holders may, subject to the
provisions of Section 3.5 below, include securities of the Company being sold
for the account of the Company (the "Company Shares").
3.3 WITHDRAWAL OF REGISTRATION. If the Initiating Holders inform
the Company by written notice that they are withdrawing their registration
request made pursuant to Section 3.1 above and the Company decides to go forward
with such registration on its own behalf, then the Initiating Holders shall not
be required to pay any of the Company's out-of-pocket expenses. If the Company
elects not to go forward with such registration on its own behalf, the
Initiating Holders shall be required to pay the Company's out-of-pocket
expenses.
3.4 UNDERWRITING.
(a) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the
Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting,
they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to
this Section 3 and the Company shall include such information in the Demand
Registration Notice, and such Demand Registration Notice shall also state that
any registration pursuant to this Section 3 shall be conditioned upon such
Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's
Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein and
subject to the limitations provided herein. A Holder may elect to include in
such underwriting all or a part of such Holder's Registrable Securities.
(b) The Company shall (together with all Holders proposing
to distribute their securities through such underwriting) enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the
underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority in
interest of the Initiating Holders.
3.5 LIMITATIONS ON SHARES TO BE INCLUDED. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Section 3, if the representative of the underwriters
advises the Company or the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors
require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten or that the
inclusion of Company Shares may adversely affect the sale price (of the shares
to be registered) that may be obtained, Company Shares shall be excluded from
such registration to the extent so required by such limitation, and if a
limitation of the number of shares is still required, the number of shares that
may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated among
all Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts
of Registrable Securities which they have requested to be included in such
registration statement. If the Company or any Holder of Registrable Securities
who has requested inclusion in such registration as provided above disapproves
of the terms of any such underwriting, such Person may elect to withdraw such
Person's Registrable Securities or Company Shares therefrom by written notice to
the Company, the underwriter and the Initiating Holders. If the withdrawal of
any Registrable Securities or Company Shares would allow, within the marketing
limitations set forth above, the inclusion in the underwriting of a greater
number of
7
<PAGE>
shares of Registrable Securities, to the extent practicable and without delaying
the underwriting, the Company shall offer to the Holders an opportunity to
include additional shares of Registrable Securities.
4. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. All Registration Expenses incurred in
connection with the registration or qualification of, or compliance with, any
registration statement under Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement shall be borne
by the Company. All Selling Expenses shall be borne pro rata by each Holder and
each Other Shareholder in accordance with the number of shares sold.
5. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES.
5.1 In the case of each registration to be effected by the Company
pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will keep each Holder advised in writing
as to the initiation of each registration and all amendments thereto and as to
the completion thereof, advise any such Holder, upon request, of the progress of
such proceedings, use its best efforts to effect the registration of any
Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, and will, at its expense:
(a) Prepare and file with the Commission a registration
statement covering such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause
such registration statement to be declared effective by the Commission and to
keep such registration effective for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days
or until the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution described in the
registration statement relating thereto, whichever first occurs; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Company shall keep such registration effective for longer than
one hundred and eighty (180) days if the costs and expenses associated with such
extended registration are borne by the selling Holders; PROVIDED FURTHER,
HOWEVER, that the foregoing shall not apply to any registration statement filed
pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof.
(b) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments
and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in
connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement
effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect
to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such registration
statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities have been
disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller
or sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement;
(c) Furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement and each Holder two conformed copies of
such registration statement and of each such amendment and supplement thereto
(in each case including all exhibits), such number of copies of the prospectus
contained in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus
and any summary prospectus) and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 under
the Securities Act, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act,
and such other documents, as such seller or Holder, as the case may be, may
reasonably request;
(d) Promptly notify each seller of Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement and each Holder at any time when a
prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act, of the happening of any event as a result of
8
<PAGE>
which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect,
includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading or incomplete in the light of the circumstances then existing,
and at the request of any such seller, prepare and furnish to such seller a
reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such
prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the
purchasers of such shares, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete
in the light of the circumstances then existing;
(e) Use its best efforts (i) to register or qualify all
Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such registration
statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such states of the
United States of America where an exemption is not available and as the sellers
of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement shall
reasonably request, (ii) to keep such registration or qualification in effect
for so long as such registration statement remains in effect and (iii) to take
any other action which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such
sellers to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the securities to
be sold by such sellers; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not for any
such purpose be required to (x) qualify generally to do business as a foreign
corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it would not but for the requirements of
this clause (e) be obligated to be so qualified, (y) subject itself to taxation
in any such jurisdiction or (z) consent to general service of process in any
such jurisdiction;
(f) Use its best efforts to cause all Registrable
Securities covered by such registration statement to be registered with or
approved by such other federal or state governmental agencies or authorities as
may be necessary in the opinion of counsel to the Company and counsel to the
seller or sellers of Registrable Securities to enable the seller or sellers
thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;
(g) Use its best efforts to list all such Registrable
Securities registered in such registration on each securities exchange or
automated quotation system on which the Common Stock of the Company is then
listed;
(h) Provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and
registrar for all Registrable Securities and a CUSIP number for all such
Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such
registration;
(i) Make available for inspection by any seller of
Registrable Securities and each Holder, any underwriter participating in any
disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney or
accountant retained by any such seller, Holder or underwriter, all financial and
other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and
cause the Company's officers, directors, employees and independent accountants
to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, Holder,
underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with such registration
statement, which information shall be subject to reasonable restrictions
concerning confidentiality and non-disclosure;
(j) Furnish to each selling Holder upon request a signed
counterpart,
9
<PAGE>
addressed to the selling Holder, of
(iii) an opinion of counsel for the Company, dated the
effective date of the registration statement and in form reasonably
acceptable to the Company and such Holder, and
(iv) "comfort" letters signed by the Company's independent
public accountants who have examined and reported on the Company's
financial statements included in the registration statement, to the extent
permitted by the standards of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants,
in the case of (i) and (ii) covering substantially the same matters with respect
to the registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and (in the
case of the accountants' "comfort" letters) with respect to events subsequent to
the date of the financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of
issuer's counsel and in accountants' "comfort" letters delivered to the
underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities;
(k) Furnish to each selling Holder a copy of all
correspondence from or to the Commission in connection with any such offering;
(l) In the event of the issuance of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order
suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the
qualification of any Registrable Securities included in such registration
statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Company will use its reasonable best
efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order; and
(m) Otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and, if required, make
available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an
earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve months, but not more
than eighteen months, beginning with the first month after the effective date of
the registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.
5.2 It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the
Company to take any action pursuant to this Agreement that the Holders proposing
to register Registrable Securities shall furnish to the Company such information
regarding them, the Registrable Securities held by them, and the intended method
of distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Company shall reasonably
request and as shall be required in connection with the action to be taken by
the Company.
5.3 In connection with the preparation and filing of each
registration statement under this Agreement, the Company will give the Holders
on whose behalf such Registrable Securities are to be registered and their
underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel and accountants, the
opportunity to participate in the preparation of such registration statement,
each prospectus included therein or filed with the Commission, and each
amendment thereof or supplement thereto, and will give each such Holder such
access to the Company's books and records and such opportunities to discuss the
business of the Company with its officers, its
10
<PAGE>
counsel and the independent public accountants who have certified the Company's
financial statements, as shall be necessary, in the opinion of such Holders or
such underwriters or their respective counsel, in order to conduct a reasonable
and diligent investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. Without
limiting the foregoing, each registration statement, prospectus, amendment,
supplement or any other document filed with respect to a registration under this
Agreement shall be subject to review and reasonable approval by the Holders
registering Registrable Securities in such registration and by their counsel.
6. INDEMNIFICATION.
6.1 INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. In the event of any
registration of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act, the
Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, each of its officers,
directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and consultants and each
Person controlling such Holder, and each underwriter, if any, and each Person
who controls any underwriter, against all claims, losses, damages and
liabilities, joint and several (or actions, proceedings or settlements in
respect thereof) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement (or alleged
untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any prospectus, offering
circular or other document (including any related registration statement,
notification or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification or
compliance, or based upon any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or
any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to
action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such
registration, qualification or compliance, and will reimburse each such Holder,
each of its officers, directors and partners, and each Person controlling such
Holder, each such underwriter and each Person who controls any such underwriter,
for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
investigating and defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability
or action; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company will not be liable in any such
case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense
arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission made in reliance
upon and based upon written information furnished to the Company by such Holder
or underwriter and expressly stated to be specifically for use therein.
6.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY THE HOLDERS. Each Holder will, if
Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to
which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected,
severally and not jointly, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and
officers and each underwriter, if any, of the Company's securities covered by
such a registration statement, each Person who controls the Company (other than
such Holder) or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and
the rules and regulations thereunder, each other such Holder and each of their
officers, directors and partners, and each Person controlling such Holder or
other stockholder, against all claims, losses, damages, expenses and liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based upon any untrue
statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such
registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any
omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and
will reimburse the Company, each of its directors and officers, each underwriter
or control Person, each other Holder and each of their officers, directors and
partners and each Person controlling such Holder or other shareholder for
11
<PAGE>
any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in
each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or
alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such
registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by such Holder and expressly stated to be specifically for use therein;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the liability of any such Holder under this Section 6.2
shall be limited to the amount of proceeds received by such Holder in the
offering giving rise to such liability.
6.3 NOTICES OF CLAIMS, PROCEDURES, ETC. Each party entitled to
indemnification under this Section 6 (the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice
to the party required to provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party")
promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to
which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume
the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; PROVIDED,
that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such
claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the
Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the
Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at the Indemnified Party's
sole expense; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to
give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its
obligations under this Section 6 unless such failure is prejudicial to the
ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend such claim or action.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to
employ its own counsel in any such litigation, proceeding or other action if (i)
the employment of such counsel has been authorized by the Indemnifying Party, in
its sole and absolute discretion, or (ii) the named parties in any such claims
(including any impleaded parties) include any such Indemnified Party and the
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall have been advised in writing
(in suitable detail) by counsel to the Indemnified Party either (A) that there
may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party which are
different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, or
(B) that there is a conflict of interest by virtue of the Indemnified Party and
the Indemnifying Party having common counsel, in any of which events, the legal
fees and expenses of a single counsel for all Indemnified Parties with respect
to each such claim, defense thereof, or counterclaims thereto, shall be borne by
the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim
or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent
to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement (x) which does not include
as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or
litigation, or (y) which requires action other than the payment of money by the
Indemnifying Party. Each Indemnified Party shall cooperate to the extent
reasonably required and furnish such information regarding itself or the claim
in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as
shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and
litigation resulting therefrom.
6.4 CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in this
Section 6 shall for any reason be held by a court to be unavailable to an
Indemnified Party under Section 6.1 or 6.2 hereof in respect of any loss, claim,
damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, then, in lieu of the
amount paid or payable under Section 6.1 or 6.2, the Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party under Section 6.1 or 6.2 shall contribute to the aggregate
losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with
12
<PAGE>
investigating the same), (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Company and the prospective sellers of Registrable
Securities covered by the registration statement which resulted in such loss,
claim, damage or liability, or action or proceeding in respect thereof, with
respect to the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim,
damage or liability, or action or proceeding in respect thereof, as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations or (ii) if the allocation provided by
clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as shall
be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and such
prospective sellers from the offering of the securities covered by such
registration statement; PROVIDED, that for purposes of this clause (ii), the
relative benefits received by the prospective sellers shall be deemed not to
exceed the amount of proceeds received by such prospective sellers. No Person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Such prospective sellers'
obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 6.4 are several in
proportion to the relative value of their respective Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement and not joint. In addition, no Person
shall be obligated to contribute hereunder any amounts in payment for any
settlement of any action or claim effected without such Person's consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
7. INFORMATION BY HOLDER. Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall
furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the
distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in
writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration,
qualification or compliance referred to in this Agreement.
8. TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights with
respect to any Registrable Securities to cause the Company to register such
securities granted to a Holder by the Company under this Agreement may be
transferred or assigned by a Holder, in whole or in part, to a transferee or
assignee of any Registrable Securities or any Mack Units, Preferred Units, Unit
Warrants or Stock Warrants which are convertible, exercisable or redeemable,
directly or indirectly, for Registrable Securities and, in such case, the
Company shall be given written notice stating the name and address of said
transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such
registration rights are being transferred or assigned.
9. RULE 144 AND RULE 144A. The Company shall file the reports required
to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder, and will take all actions
reasonably necessary to enable holders of Registrable Securities to sell such
securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation
of the provisions of (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be
amended from time to time, (b) Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such Rule
may be amended from time to time, if applicable or (c) any similar rules or
regulations hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any holder
of Registrable Securities, the Company will deliver to such holder a written
statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.
10. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. Each holder of Registrable Securities, in
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including
recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights
under this Agreement. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be
adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of
13
<PAGE>
the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agrees to waive the defense in any
action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
11. NO INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS. The Company will not hereafter enter into
any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with the
rights granted to the holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will not hereafter
enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which grants, or modify
any existing agreement with respect to its securities to grant, to the holder of
its securities in connection with an incidental registration of such securities
higher priority to the rights granted to the Holder under Section 2 of this
Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the Company shall be entitled to enter into an
agreement which grants, or modify any existing agreement with respect to its
securities to grant, to the holder of its securities in connection with an
incidental registration of such securities equal priority to the rights granted
to the Holders under Section 2 of this Agreement.
12. BENEFITS OF AGREEMENT: SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective
successors and permitted assigns, legal representatives and heirs; this
Agreement does not create, and shall not be construed as creating, any rights
enforceable by any other Person.
13. COMPLETE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the complete
understanding among the parties with respect to its subject matter and
supersedes all existing agreements and understandings, whether oral or written,
among them. No alteration or modification of any provisions of this Agreement
shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by a majority in interest of
the Holders.

in an adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (d).
At all times, Gross Asset Values shall be adjusted by any Depreciation taken
into account with respect to the Partnership's assets for purposes of computing

property shall require an adjustment to the Partners' Capital Accounts; as for

the Partnership is (i) to conduct any business that may be lawfully conducted by
a limited partnership organized pursuant to the Act; provided, however, that
such business shall be limited to and conducted in such a manner as to permit

arrangements to engage in any of the foregoing or the ownership of interests in

for the furtherance and accomplishment of the purposes and business described

have been specifically consented to by the General Partner in writing.

ARTICLE 6
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS, ADDITIONAL FUNDING AND CAPITAL ACCOUNTS
6.1 Capital Contributions of the General Partner. Upon Completion of the
Offering, the General Partner shall contribute the proceeds of the Offering to
the Partnership, which proceeds will be net of the underwriter's discount and
other expenses. Notwithstanding the exact amount of such net proceeds which are
contributed to the Partnership, the General Partner shall be deemed to have made
a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in the amount of the gross proceeds of
the Offering and the Partnership shall be deemed simultaneously to have
reimbursed the General Partner pursuant to Section 9.8(c) hereof for the amount
of any such underwriter's discount or other expenses paid out of the gross
proceeds of the Offering. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence,
the General Partner shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion,
to treat the contribution to the Partnership by the General Partner of any
proceeds from the Offering in a manner other than that described in the
immediately preceding sentence if, upon the advice of counsel to the General
Partner and/or the Partnership, such alternative treatment will provide a more
favorable federal and/or state tax consequence to the General Partner and/or the
Partnership. The General Partner shall initially be issued and thereafter shall
own Partnership Units in the amount set forth opposite its name on Exhibit A,
which number of Partnership Units shall be adjusted on such Exhibit A from time
to time by the General Partner to the extent necessary to reflect accurately
issuances, exchanges, redemptions, Capital Contributions, or similar events
having an effect on a Partner's Partnership Units. The Partners hereby
acknowledge and agree that the aggregate initial number of Partnership Units to
be issued to the General Partner shall be exactly equal to the number of shares
of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Completion of the
Offering. Upon any subsequent sales of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the
exercise of the over-allotment option in connection with the Offering, the
General Partner shall, subject to and in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Section 6.1, contribute the proceeds of such subsequent sale
to the Partnership,
-12-
<PAGE>
and shall be issued additional Partnership Units in an amount exactly equal to
the number of shares of Common Stock subsequently sold in connection with the
Offering.
6.2 Capital Contributions of the Limited Partners. Concurrent with the
execution of this Agreement, each Limited Partner, pursuant to one or more
Partnership Interests Exchange Agreements, shall contribute to the Partnership,
directly or indirectly, as its initial Capital Contribution, all of such Limited
Partner's right, title and interest in and to the Property Partnerships. Each
Limited Partner shall initially be issued and thereafter shall own Partnership
Units in the amount set forth opposite such Limited Partner's name on Exhibit A,
which number of Partnership Units on such Exhibit A shall be adjusted from time
to time by the General Partner to the extent necessary to reflect accurately
exchanges, redemptions, Capital Contributions, or similar events having an
effect on such Partner's Partnership Units. The Partnership Units issued to
each Limited Partner shall be evidenced by the issuance of a certificate (the
"Unit Certificate") in substantially the form of Exhibit B attached hereto,
which Unit Certificate shall bear the following legend:
"THE UNITS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE OR INSTRUMENT MAY NOT BE
TRANSFERRED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF
UNLESS SUCH TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER
DISPOSITION COMPLIES WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED
AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP DATED AS OF DECEMBER 11, 1997 (A COPY OF
WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE PARTNERSHIP). EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN
SUCH AGREEMENT, NO TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR
OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE UNITS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE MADE
EXCEPT (A) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR (B) IF THE PARTNERSHIP
HAS BEEN FURNISHED WITH A SATISFACTORY OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER
THAT SUCH TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER
DISPOSITION IS EXEMPT FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE ACT AND THE
RULES AND REGULATIONS IN EFFECT THEREUNDER."
On the date of admission of one or more Limited Partners to the Partnership, the
Organizational Limited Partner shall be entitled to a return of his Capital
Contribution, and shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the Partnership.
6.3 General Partner Option to Contribute Additional Capital. If the
Partnership requires funds at any time or from time to time in excess of funds
available to the Partnership through borrowings and prior or additional Capital
Contributions, the General Partner may, but shall not be required to, borrow
such funds from a financial institution or other lender or through public debt
offerings and lend such funds to the Partnership on the same terms and
conditions as
-13-
<PAGE>
are applicable to the General Partner. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Partnership requires funds for any proper Partnership purpose in excess of any
other funds anticipated by the General Partner to be available to the
Partnership (including through borrowings and prior Capital Contributions), or
if the General Partner concludes that borrowings are inappropriate, the General
Partner may, but shall not be required to, raise such additional funds pursuant
to the issuance of shares of its Common Stock (any such issuance which is made
for the purpose of providing additional funds to the Partnership shall be
referred to herein as an "Additional Issuance"). In the event any such
Additional Issuance is consum mated, then (i) the General Partner shall
contribute the net amount of cash raised pursuant to such Additional Issuance to
the capital of the Partnership and (ii) the Partnership shall issue additional
Partnership Units ("Additional Partnership Units") to the General Partner, on
the date upon which such funds are contrib uted to the Partnership, in an amount
equal to that number of Partnership Units which, if such Additional Partnership
Units were redeemed as of their date of issuance by the General Partner for
shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof, would result in the
General Partner receiving that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the
number of shares of Common Stock that were issued pursuant to such Additional
Issuance. Notwith standing anything contained herein to the contrary, if the
proceeds actually received and thereafter contributed to the Partnership by the
General Partner pursuant to any Additional Issuance as described in this Section
6.3 are less than the gross proceeds of such issuance as a result of any
underwriter's discount or other expenses paid or incurred in connection with
such issuance, then the General Partner shall be deemed to have made a Capital
Contribution to the Partnership in the amount of the gross proceeds of such
issuance and the Partnership shall be deemed simultaneously to have reimbursed
the General Partner pursuant to Section 9.8(c) hereof for the amount of such
under writer's discount or other expenses. In addition, in the event that the
General Partner shall issue shares of Common Stock (and/or pay cash out of the
net proceeds of any Additional Issuance) in connection with any subsequent
merger, consolidation or other acquisition, the General Partner may contribute
the shares of stock, assets and/or other consideration received by the General
Partner in connection therewith to the capital of the Partnership in exchange
for Additional Partnership Units in an amount equal to that number of
Partnership Units which, if such Additional Partnership Units were redeemed as
of their date of issuance by the General Partner for shares of Common Stock
pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof, would result in the General Partner receiving
that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common
Stock that were issued in connec tion with such merger, consolidation or other
acquisition and/or such Additional Issuance. Notwith standing the foregoing
sentence, the General Partner shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to
treat a contribution to the capital of the Partnership in a manner other than as
described above if, upon the advice of counsel to the General Partner and/or the
Partnership, such alternative treatment will provide a more favorable federal
and/or state tax consequence to the General Partner and/or the Partnership.
6.4 General Partner Option to Issue Additional Partnership Units to
Limited Partners.
(a) Issuance of Additional Partnership Units. At any time after the
date hereof without the consent of any Partner, but subject to the provisions of
Section 13.1 hereof, the General Partner may, upon its determination, which
shall be made in its sole and absolute discre tion, that the issuance of
Additional Partnership Units to new or existing limited partners is in the
-14-
<PAGE>
best commercial interests of the Partnership, cause the Partnership to issue
Additional Partnership Units to and admit as a limited partner in the
Partnership, any Person (an "Additional Limited Partner" herein) in exchange for
the contribution by such Person of cash and/or property desirable to further the
purposes of the Partnership under Article 4 hereof. In the event that
Additional Partnership Units are issued by the Partnership pursuant to this
Section 6.4, the amount of such Partnership Units issued to each Additional
Limited Partner shall, unless otherwise determined by the General Partner in the
exercise of its sole discretion but subject to its fiduciary duty to all Limited
Partners (i) be fixed by agreement between the General Partner and such
Additional Limited Partner in the General Partner's sole discretion or (ii) be
equal to that number of Partnership Units which, if such Additional Partnership
Units were redeemed as of their date of issuance by such Additional Limited
Partner pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof, would result in such Additional Limited
Partner receiving that number of shares of Common Stock equal to (x) the Agreed
Value of any property (as determined by the General Partner, in its sole and
absolute discretion), plus the amount of any cash contributed by the Additional
Limited Partner, as of the date of contribution to the Partnership divided by
(y) the Current Per Share Market Price (computed as of the Trading Day
immediately preceding the date of contribution to the Partnership or such other
date or average of Trading Days as the General Partner may agree with such
Additional Limited Partner in the exercise of its sole discretion). In
addition, the General Partner is hereby authorized to cause the Partnership from
time to time to issue to the Partners (including the General Partner) or other
Persons additional Partnership Units or such other Partnership Interests in one
or more classes, or one or more series of such classes, with such designations,
preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights,
powers and duties, including rights, powers and duties which may be senior, pari
passu or junior to OP Units, all as shall be determined by the General Partner
in its sole and absolute discretion subject to Delaware law, including, without
limitation, (i) the allocations of items of Partnership income, gain, loss,
deduction and credit to each such class or series of Partnership Interests; (ii)
the right of each such class or series of Partnership Interests to share in
Partnership distributions; and (iii) the rights of each such class or series of
Partnership Interests upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership;
provided that no such additional Partnership Units or other Partnership
Interests shall be issued to the General Partner unless either (A)(1) the
additional Partnership Interests are issued in connection with the issuance of
shares of Common Stock or other shares by the General Partner, which shares have
designations, preferences and other rights such that the economic interests
attributed to such shares are substantially similar to the designations,
preferences and other rights of the additional Partnership Interests issued to
the General Partner in accordance with this Section 6.4, and (2) the General
Partner shall make a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in an amount equal
to the proceeds raised in connection with the issuance of such shares of the
General Partner, or (B) the additional Partnership Units are issued to all the
Partners in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests. Any Additional
Limited Partner shall be issued a Unit Certificate representing the amount of
Partnership Units issued to such Additional Limited Partner and, in the event
the General Partner issues Partnership Units other than OP Units, indicating the
class, terms, prefer ences and other restrictions or rights of such Partnership
Unit. The General Partner shall be authorized on behalf of each of the Partners
to amend this Agreement to reflect the issuance of Additional Partnership Units
(including, without limitation, the issuance of new classes of Partnership
Units) and/or the admis sion of any Additional Limited Partner(s) in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 6.4, and the General Partner shall
-15-
<PAGE>
promptly deliver a copy of such amendment (which, in the event that new classes
of Partnership Units are issued, shall contain the terms of such new classes of
Partnership Units) to each Limited Partner. Without limiting the foregoing, the
General Partner is expressly authorized to cause the Partnership to issue
Partnership Units for less than fair market value, so long as the General
Partner concludes in good faith that such issuance is in the interest of the
General Partner and the Partnership (for example, and not by way of limitation,
the issuance of Partnership Units pursuant to an employee purchase plan
providing for employee purchases of Partnership Units at a discount from fair
market value or employee options that have an exercise price that is less than
the fair market value of the Partnership Units, either at the time of issuance
or at the time of exercise).
(b) Additional Partnership Units and Percentage Interest Adjustments.
In the event that the General Partner issues additional Partnership Units
(including additional classes of Partnership Units, but excluding OP Units
issued upon the redemption of Preferred Units) the General Partner shall
allocate to such additional Partnership Units a Percentage Interest in the
Partnership equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount
of cash, if any, plus the Agreed Value of the property, if any, contributed with
respect to such additional Partnership Units and the denominator of which is
equal to the fair market value (as determined by the General Partner as of the
date of such contribution taking into account such contribution) of all the
Partnership Units for all outstanding classes of Partnership Units (including
such additional Partnership Units). To the extent that any such issuance of
additional Partnership Units results in an overall decrease (the "Percentage
Decrease") in the aggregate Percentage Interests in the Partnership represented
by all of the Partnership Units that were outstanding before the issuance of the
additional Partnership Units, the Percentage Decrease shall be allocated among
the classes of Partnership Units outstanding prior to the issuance of the
additional Partnership Units in accordance with such classes' respective
Percentage Interests in the Partnership as determined prior to the issuance of
the additional Partnership Units. Similarly, to the extent that a redemption by
the General Partner of any Partnership Units for cash results in an overall
increase (the "Percentage Increase") in the aggregate Percentage Interests in
the Partnership represented by the remaining Partnership Units outstanding after
the redemption (the "Remaining Units"), the Percentage Increase shall be
allocated among the classes of Remaining Units by multiplying the Percentage
Increase by a fraction equal to the aggregate pre-redemption Percentage
Interests of all Remaining Units of that particular class divided by the
aggregate pre-redemption Percentage Interests of all Remaining Units of all
classes. Upon the redemption of any Preferred Units for OP Units, the aggregate
Percentage Interest allocated to that class of Preferred Units shall be reduced
by the total Percentage Interests attributable to the redeemed Preferred Units
(the "Preferred Redemption Percentage"), and the aggregate Percentage Interest
allocated to the OP Units shall be increased by that Preferred Redemption
Percentage. Effective as of the date hereof, the General Partner has created
three classes of Units: OP Units, Series A Preferred Units and Series B
Preferred Units. The Percentage Interests allocated to each class of
Partnership Units are set forth in Exhibit E, attached hereto, which Exhibit may
be amended from time to time by the General Partner to reflect the issuance of
additional Partnership Units or the redemption of any outstanding Partnership
Units, and the respective Percentage Interests in the Partnership allocated to
each class of Partnership Units.
-16-
<PAGE>
(c) Adjustments to Partnership Units. If the Common Stock (or any
other class of stock of the General Partner for which a class of Partnership
Units may be redeemed) undergoes any split or reverse split, then without
further action or consent by the General Partner or any Limited Partner, each
corresponding class of Partnership Units that is redeemable for such stock shall
be split or combined in accordance with the same ratio used to split or combine
the stock. For example, if the Common Stock undergoes a reverse 2 for 1 split
(i.e., every two shares of old Common Stock are converted into one share of new
Common Stock) then the corresponding class of Partnership Units that are
redeemable for such Common Stock shall undergo a similar reverse split (i.e.,
every two old OP Units shall be converted into one new OP Unit). Similarly, if
any class of Partnership Units into which another class of Partnership Units is
convertible undergoes any split or reverse split, then without further action or
consent by the General Partner or any Limited Partner, the latter class of
Partnership Units shall be split or combined in accordance with the same ratio
used to split or combine the first class of Partnership Units.
(d) Fractional Units. The General Partner shall have the right to
issue fractional Partnership Units upon the conversion or exchange of one class
of Partnership Units for a second class of Partnership Units; provided, however,
that in accordance with Section 10.3(e) hereof no fractional shares of Common
Stock of the General Partner shall be issued upon the redemption of any class of
Partnership Units for Common Stock.
(e) Issuance of New Securities. After the date hereof, the General
Partner shall not issue any additional shares of Common Stock (other than shares
of Common Stock issued pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof), or rights, options,
warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities containing the right to
subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (collectively, "New
Securities"), other than to all holders of shares of Common Stock, unless (i)
the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to issue to the General Partner
Partnership Interests or rights, options, warrants or convertible or
exchangeable securities of the Partnership having designations, preferences and
other rights, all such that the economic interests are substantially similar to
those of the New Securities, and (ii) the General Partner contributes to the
Partnership the proceeds from the issuance of such New Securities and from the
exercise of rights contained in such New Securities. Without limiting the
foregoing, the General Partner is expressly authorized to issue New Securities
for less than fair market value, and the General Partner is expressly authorized
to cause the Partnership to issue to the General Partner corresponding
Partnership Interests, so long as (x) the General Partner concludes in good
faith that such issuance is in the interest of the General Partner and the
Partnership (for example, and not by way of limitation, the issuance of shares
of Common Stock and corresponding Units pursuant to an employee stock purchase
plan providing for employee purchases of shares of Common Stock at a discount
from fair market value or employee stock options that have an exercise price
that is less than the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock, either at
the time of issuance or at the time of exercise), and (y) the General Partner
contributes all proceeds from such issuance and exercise to the Partnership.
6.5 Capital Accounts. A separate capital account (a "Capital Account")
shall be maintained for each Partner in accordance with the Code and the
Regulations promulgated thereunder including, but not limited to, the rules
regarding the maintenance of partners' Capital
-17-
<PAGE>
Accounts set forth in Regulation Section 1.704-1. Subject to the immediately
preceding sentence, there shall be credited to each Partner's Capital Account:
(i) the amount of money contributed by the Partner to the Partnership (subject,
however, in the case of Additional Issuances of Common Stock, to the specific
provisions of Section 6.3 hereof regarding the amount of the Capital
Contribution by the General Partner under such circumstances), (ii) the Gross
Asset Value of any property contributed by the Partner to the Partnership, (iii)
the amount of any Partnership liabilities assumed by such Partner or which are
secured by any property distributed to such Partner and (iv) the Partner's share
of income or gain (or items thereof), including income and gain exempt from tax.
There shall be charged against each Partner's Capital Account: (w) the amount
of money distributed to the Partner by the Partnership, (x) the Gross Asset
Value of any property distributed to the Partner by the Partnership, (y) the
amount of any liabilities of such Partner assumed by the Partnership or which
are secured by any property contributed by such Partner to the Partnership and
(z) the Partner's share of loss and deduction (or items thereof). To the extent
a Partner's Capital Account is greater than zero, such excess is hereinafter
referred to as a "positive balance". To the extent a Partner's Capital Account
is less than zero, said amount is hereinafter referred to as a "deficit
balance".
6.6 Limited Liability. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, the personal liability of a Limited Partner arising out of or in any
manner relating to the Partnership shall be limited to and shall not exceed such
Limited Partner's Capital Contribution made or required to be made pursuant to
this Agreement. No Limited Partner shall have any personal liability for
liabilities or obligations of the Partnership, except to the extent of its
Capital Contribution, as aforesaid.
6.7 Return of Capital. Except as otherwise provided herein, (i) no
Partner shall be required to make any further or additional contributions to the
capital of the Partnership or to lend or advance funds to the Partnership for
any purpose and (ii) no Partner shall be entitled to the return of its capital,
except to the extent, if any, that distributions are made or deemed to be made
to such Partner otherwise than out of Profits pursuant to this Agreement.
6.8 No Interest on Capital Contributions. No interest or additional share
of Profits shall be paid or credited to the Partners on their Capital Accounts,
or on any undistributed Profits or funds left on deposit with the Partnership;
provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent
or prohibit the payment of interest on account of loans made by the Partners to
the Partnership. Any loans made to the Partnership by a Partner shall not
increase its Capital Contribution or interest in the Profits, Losses or Net Cash
Flow of the Partnership, but shall be a debt due from the Partnership and repaid
accordingly.
6.9 No Third Party Beneficiary. No creditor or other third party having
dealings with the Partnership shall have the right to enforce the right or
obligation of any Partner to make Capital Contributions or loans or to pursue
any other right or remedy hereunder or at law or in equity, it being understood
and agreed among the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement shall
be solely for the benefit of, and may be enforced solely by, the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns. None of the rights or obligations
of the Partners herein set forth to make Capital Contributions or loans to the
Partnership shall be deemed an
-18-
<PAGE>
asset of the Partnership for any purpose by any creditor or other third party,
nor may such rights or obligations be sold, transferred or assigned by the
Partnership or pledged or encumbered by the Partnership to secure any debt or
other obligation of the Partnership or of any of the Partners.
6.10 Common Stock Option Plans. The Partners hereby acknowledge that prior
to the Offering the General Partner has adopted, and the Partners hereby
acknowledge and agree that from and after the Offering the General Partner may
adopt, without the consent of any Limited Partner, one or more stock option or
incentive plans ("Stock Plans") pursuant to which officers, directors, trustees
and/or employees of the General Partner, the Partnership or any Affiliate of
either of them may acquire shares of Common Stock. On each date on which the
General Partner issues any shares of Common Stock to a person pursuant to a
Stock Plan (i) the consideration paid for each such share of Common Stock shall,
as soon as received by the General Partner, be contributed to the capital of the
Partnership and (ii) the General Partner shall be issued Partnership Units in an
amount equal to that number of Partnership Units which, if such Partnership
Units were redeemed as of their date of issuance by the General Partner for
shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof, would result in the
General Partner receiving that number of shares of Common Stock which are being
issued to any such person pursuant to the Stock Plan. For purposes of this
Section 6.10 only, shares of Common Stock issued subject to forfeiture or other
similar restrictions shall be deemed issued upon the lapse of such restrictions.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the mere grant of options to
purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any Stock Plan shall not constitute
the grant or issuance of shares of Common Stock for purposes of this Section
6.10.
ARTICLE 7
ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES
7.1 General Allocation of Profits and Losses. Except as otherwise
provided in this Article 7, after giving effect to any and all special
allocations set forth in Sections 7.3 and 7.4 below, all Profits and Losses of
the Partnership (including all items of income and expense entering into the
determination of such Profits and Losses), as finally determined by the
Accountants for Federal income tax purposes for each fiscal year of the
Partnership, shall be allocated to and among the Partners in accordance with
their respective Percentage Interests.
7.2 Allocations with Respect to Transferred Interests. Unless otherwise
required by the Code and/or the Regulations as determined by the General
Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, any Profits or Losses allocable to
an additional Partnership Interest issued during any year or any fiscal quarter
or to a Partnership Interest which has been transferred during any year shall be
allocated among the Persons who were holders of such Partnership Interest during
such year in the manner described in Section 13.3(c) below.
7.3 Deficit Restoration Obligation. In the event that any Limited Partner
hereto enters into a "deficit restoration obligation" to the Partnership
pursuant to this Section 7.3, and such Limited Partner has a deficit balance in
its Capital Account following the liquidation of its
-19-
<PAGE>
interest in the Partnership, as determined after taking into account all Capital
Account adjustments for the Partnership's taxable year during which the
liquidation occurs, such Limited Partner shall be unconditionally obligated to
restore the amount of such deficit balance to the Partnership by the later of
(i) the end of such taxable year, or (ii) 90 days after the date of the
liquidation of the Limited Partner's interest in the Partnership, which amount
shall, upon liquidation of the Partnership, be paid to creditors of the
Partnership or distributed to other Partners in accordance with their positive
Capital Account balances. For purposes hereof, a "deficit restoration
obligation" shall mean an unconditional agreement by a Limited Partner to
restore a deficit balance in its Capital Account (which may be limited in
amount) in the form thereof used by the Partnership. Any Limited Partner may,
but is not obligated to, enter into such an agreement at any time during the
term hereof but not more often than annually.
7.4 Regulatory Allocations.
(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement (except as provided in Section 7.3(b) below), if there is a
net decrease in Minimum Gain for a Partnership taxable year, each Partner
shall be allocated, before any other allocation of Partnership items for
such taxable year, items of gross income and gain for such year (and, if
necessary, for subsequent years) in proportion to, and to the extent of,
the amount of such Partner's share of the net decrease in Minimum Gain
during such year. The income allocated pursuant to this Section 7.3(a) in
any taxable year shall consist first of gains recognized from the
disposition of property subject to one or more nonrecourse liabilities of
the Partnership, and any remainder shall consist of a pro rata portion of
other items of income or gain of the Partnership.
(b) Exceptions to Section 7.3(a). The allocation otherwise required
pursuant to Section 7.3(a) shall not apply to a Partner to the extent that:
(a) such Partner's share of the net decrease in Minimum Gain is caused by a
guarantee, refinancing or other change in the instrument evidencing a
nonrecourse debt of the Partnership which causes such debt to become a
partially or wholly recourse debt or a Partner Nonrecourse Debt, and such
Partner bears the economic risk of loss (within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.752-2) for such changed debt; (b) such Partner's share
of the net decrease in Minimum Gain results from the repayment of a
nonrecourse liability of the Partnership, which repayment is made using
funds contributed by such Partner to the capital of the Partnership; (iii)
the IRS, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f)(4), waives the
requirement of such allocation in response to a request for such waiver
made by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership (which request the
General Partner may or may not make, in its sole discretion, if it
deter mines that the Partnership would be eligible therefor); or (iv)
additional exceptions to the requirement of such allocation are established
by revenue rulings issued by the IRS pursuant to Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-2(f)(5), which exceptions apply to such Partner, as
determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion.
(c) Qualified Income Offset. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, if a Partner unexpectedly receives an adjustment,
allocation or distribution
-20-
<PAGE>
described in Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4),(5) or (6) that
causes or increases an Excess Deficit Capital Account Balance with respect
to such Partner, items of Partnership gross income and gain shall be
specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to
eliminate such Excess Deficit Capital Account Balance as quickly as
possible.
(d) Gross Income Allocation. If at the end of any Partnership taxable
year, a Partner has an Excess Deficit Capital Account Balance, such Partner
shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income or gain in an
amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such Excess Deficit Capital
Account Balance as quickly as possible, until all Excess Deficit Capital
Account Balances have been eliminated. To the extent that any class of
Partnership Units that are convertible into OP Units has received
distributions at the end of any Partnership taxable year (including any
prior taxable year) in excess of the amounts such class of Partnership
Units would have received during such taxable year or years if all of the
Partnership Units of such class had been converted into OP Units (such
excess being referred to hereinafter as "Excess Amounts"), such items of
gross income or gain shall then be allocated proportionately to and among
the holders of such class Partnership Units until such holders have been
allocated an amount equal to all Excess Amounts.
(e) Partner Nonrecourse Debt. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, any item of Partnership Loss, deduction or expenditures
described in Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) that is attributable to a Partner
Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated to those Partners that bear the
economic risk of loss for such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, and among such
Partners in accordance with the ratios in which they share such economic
risk, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i).
If there is a net decrease for a Partnership taxable year in any Partner
Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain of the Partnership, each Partner with a share
of such Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain as of the beginning of such
year shall be allocated items of gross income and gain in the manner and to
the extent provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4).
(f) Interpretation. The foregoing provisions of this Section 7.3 are
intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2
and shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. Any terms used
in such provisions that are not specifically defined in this Agreement
shall have the meaning, if any, given such terms in the Regulations cited
above.
(g) Curative Allocations. If any allocation of gain, income, loss,
expense or any other item is made pursuant to Section 7.3(a), 7.3(c),
7.3(d) or 7.3(e) of this Agreement (the "Regulatory Allocations") with
respect to one or more Partners (the "Deficit Partners"), then the balance
of such items for the current and all subsequent fiscal years shall be
allocated among the Partners other than the Deficit Partners as if such
items were allocated among all the Partners (including the Deficit
Partners) without regard to this Section 7.3, until the amount of such
items that would have been allocated to the
-21-
<PAGE>
Deficit Partners but for the Regulatory Allocations equal the amount
allocated to the Deficit Partners pursuant to the Regulatory Allocations.
7.5 Special Allocations with Respect to Contributed or Revalued Property.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, taxable income, gain,
loss and deduction with respect to any Partnership property that is contributed
to the Partnership by a Partner shall be shared among the Partners for income
tax purposes pursuant to Regulations promulgated under Section 704(c) of the
Code, so as to take into account the variation, if any, between the basis of the
property to the Partnership and its initial Gross Asset Value. With respect to
Partnership property that is initially contributed to the Partnership upon its
formation, such variation between basis and initial Gross Asset Value shall be
taken into account under the "traditional method" as described in Treasury
Regulation Section 1.704-3(b), unless otherwise determined by the General
Partner and the contributing Partner. With respect to properties subsequently
contributed to the Partnership, the Partnership shall account for such variation
under any method approved under Section 704(c) of the Code and the applicable
regulations as chosen by the General Partner. In the event the Gross Asset
Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (b) of the
definition of Gross Asset Value (as provided in Article 1 of this Agreement),
subsequent allocations of tax items with respect to such asset shall take
account of the variation, if any, between the adjusted basis of such asset and
its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code and
the applicable regulations.
7.6 Allocations with Respect to Partnership Units other than OP Units. In
the event the General Partner issues additional classes of Partnership Units
other than OP Units and the Series A and Series B Preferred Units to Limited
Partners, then the General Partner shall determine, in its sole discretion, the
Profits and Losses attributable to each class (subject to the requirement that
the Profits attributed to any class must bear a reasonable relationship to the
amount of cash distributions to that class) and shall allocate to Profits and
Losses of each class of Partnership Units among the Partners in such class in
proportion to their respective Percentage Interests in such class, after giving
effect to any and all special allocations set forth in Sections 7.3 and 7.4
above.
ARTICLE 8
DISTRIBUTIONS
8.1 Distribution of Net Cash Flow. Net Cash Flow of the Partnership, if
any, shall be distributed to and among the Partners as follows:
(a) If such Net Cash Flow has not arisen pursuant to a Liquidation of
the Partnership, such Net Cash Flow shall be distributed (i) first, to
holders of any class of Preferred Units in an amount equal to all
preferential distributions on such Preferred Units as set forth in the Unit
Certificate for such class, and (ii) thereafter, to the extent of the
remaining amount, to and among the other Partners in accordance with their
respective Percentage Interests; or
-22-
<PAGE>
(b) If such Net Cash Flow has arisen pursuant to a Liquidation of the
Partnership, such Net Cash Flow shall be distributed to and among the
Partners having positive balances in their Capital Accounts (after any and
all allocations of Profits and Losses and prior distributions are reflected
in such Capital Accounts), in proportion to and to the extent of such
positive balances.
Net Cash Flow shall be distributed to the Partners in such amounts and at such
intervals as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may determine, but no
less frequently than quarterly. With respect to each and every distribution of
Net Cash Flow to the Partners hereunder, the General Partner shall distribute
such Net Cash Flow only to those Partners who are Partners on the Partnership
Record Date and whose Partnership Units were outstanding during the period to
which such distribution relates and, with respect to those Partners who were
issued additional Partnership Units during such period, the General Partner
shall distribute Net Cash Flow (i) on a pro-rated basis based upon the number of
days during such period that such Partners held such additional Partnership
Units or (ii) on such other reasonable basis as determined by the General
Partner in its sole discre tion; provided, however, in no event may a Partner
receive a distribution of Net Cash Flow with respect to any particular
Partnership Unit if such Partner is entitled to receive a distribution out of
such Net Cash Flow with respect to one or more shares of Common Stock for which
such Partnership Unit has been redeemed. Notwithstanding the fore going, the
General Partner shall take such reasonable efforts, as determined by it in its
sole and absolute discretion and consis tent with its qualification as a REIT,
to cause the Partnership to distribute sufficient amounts to enable the General
Partner to pay stock holder dividends that will (i) satisfy the REIT
Requirements and (ii) avoid any federal income or excise tax liability of the
General Partner.
8.2 Distributions in Kind. No right is given to any Partner to demand and
receive property or cash. The General Partner may determine, in its sole and
absolute discretion, to make a distribution in kind to the Partners of
Partnership assets, and such assets shall be distributed in such a fashion as to
ensure that the fair market value of such assets is distri buted and allocated
in accordance with Section 8.1 hereof.
8.3 Withholding. Each Limited Partner hereby authorizes the Partnership
to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Limited Partner any
amount of federal, state, local or foreign taxes that the General Partner
determines or reasonably believes that the Partnership is required to withhold
or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Limited
Partner pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any taxes
required to be withheld or paid by the Partnership pursuant to Code Sections
1441, 1442, 1445 or 1446. Any and all amounts withheld pursuant to this Section
8.3 with respect to any allocation, payment or distribution to any Partner
hereunder shall be treated as amounts distributed to such Partner pursuant to
Section 8.1 hereof for all purposes under this Agreement. If any amount is
withheld by the Partnership pursuant to this Section 8.3 with respect to a
particular Partner and such amount would not have been distributed to such
Partner pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof at any time on or before the date it is
withheld, then such Partner shall contribute to the capital of the Partnership
an amount equal to the amount so withheld as soon as practicable after the
delivery by the General Partner to such Partner of a notice requesting such
contribution to the
-23-
<PAGE>
Partnership. The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, shall have the
right to offset any obligation of a Partner to contribute additional funds to
the Partnership pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence of this Section
8.3 against any future distributions due to such Partner under Section 8.1
hereof.
8.4 Distributions with Respect to Partnership Units other than OP Units.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 8, in the event the
General Partner issues additional classes of Partnership Units other than OP
Units or Series A and Series B Preferred Units to Limited Partners, then the
General Partner shall determine, in its sole discretion (subject to Section
7.6), the amount of distributions of Net Cash Flow attributable to each class
and shall distribute such Net Cash Flow to each class of Partnership Units among
the Partners in such class in proportion to their respective Percentage
Interests in such class or otherwise required pursuant to the terms of such
Partner's Unit Certificates.
ARTICLE 9

result of such transaction is the recognition of gain by the Limited Partners.
9.5 Engagements by the Partnership. The General may engage, on behalf and

will enable the General Partner to (i) satisfy the REIT Requirements and (ii)

Partnership shall avoid taking any action which would result in the General
Partner ceasing to satisfy the REIT Requirements or would result in the
imposition of any federal income or excise tax liability on the General Partner.
9.11 Title Holder. To the extent allowable under applicable law, title to
all or any part of the properties of the Partnership may be held in the name of
the Partnership or any other individual, corporation, partnership, trust or
otherwise, 100% of the beneficial interest in which shall at all times be vested

respective functions to the extent and upon such terms and conditions as may be
determined from time to time by the General Partner.
ARTICLE 10
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF LIMITED PARTNERS
10.1 No Participation in Management of Partnership; Rights of Limited
Partners to Certain Documents
(a) The Limited Partners shall have such rights as are enumerated as
rights of limited partners under the Act. The Limited Partners, in such
capacity, shall not take part in, or interfere in any manner, with the
conduct or control of the Partnership's business and shall have no right or
authority to act for or bind the Partnership, said powers being vested
solely and exclusively in the General Partner. Except as specifically set
forth in
-29-
<PAGE>
this Agreement, the Limited Partners, in their capacities as such, shall
not have any right or power whatsoever to take any action with respect to
the conduct or control of the Partnership or its business including, but
not limited to, any right to vote on, or otherwise approve, any matters or
decisions, whether material, major or otherwise, in connection with the
business of the Partnership.
(b) In addition to any other rights provided in this Agreement or by
the Act, and except as limited by Section 10.1(c) below, each Limited
Partner shall have the right, for a purpose reasonably related to such
Limited Partner's interest as a limited partner in the Partnership, upon
written demand with a statement of the purpose of such demand and at such
Limited Partner's own expense:
(i) to obtain a copy of the most recent annual and quarterly reports
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the General
Partner pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and each report sent to the stockholders of the General
Partner;
(ii) to obtain a copy of the Partnership's federal, state and local
income tax returns for each fiscal year of the Partnership;
(iii) to obtain a current list of the name and last known business,
residence or mailing address of each Partner;
(iv) to obtain a copy of this Agreement and the Certificate and all
amendments thereto, together with executed copies of all powers
of attorney pursuant to which this Agreement, the Certificate and
all amendments thereto have been executed; and
(v) to obtain true and full information regarding the amount of cash
and a description and statement of any other property or services
contributed by each Partner and which each Partner has agreed to
contribute in the future, and the date on which each became a
Partner.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of Section 10.1(b), the
General Partner may keep confidential from the Limited Partners, for such
period of time as the General Partner determines in its sole and absolute
discretion to be reasonable, any information that (i) the General Partner
believes to be in the nature of trade secrets or other information the
disclosure of which the General Partner in good faith believes is not in
the best interests of the Partnership or the General Partner or (ii) the
Partnership or the General Partner is required by law or by agreements with
unaffiliated third parties to keep confidential.
10.2 Withdrawal, Retirement, Death, Incompetency, Insolvency or Dissolution
of a Limited Partner. A Limited Partner shall have no right to withdraw, retire
or resign from the Partnership. The death, incompetency, insolvency or
dissolution of a Limited Partner shall not
-30-
<PAGE>
terminate the Partnership. Upon the death of a Limited Partner, his or her
executor, administrator or successor in interest shall have all of the rights
and duties of a Limited Partner for the purpose of settling his or her estate.
10.3 Redemption Rights.
(a) Grant of Rights. The General Partner does hereby grant to the
Limited Partners and the Limited Partners do hereby accept the right, but
not the obligation (such right shall be referred to hereinafter sometimes
as the "Redemption Rights"), to require the Partnership to redeem all or
part of their OP Units or other classes of Partnership Units as may be
designated by the General Partner for shares of Common Stock and/or cash,
at any time or from time to time after the date which is one (1) year after
the date on which such Partnership Units were issued (or such later date
after the date of issuance as may be specified in the Certificate of
Designation of any class of Partnership Units or otherwise determined by
the General Partner) on the terms and subject to the conditions and
restrictions contained in this Section 10.3. For purposes of this Section
10.3, OP Units issued upon the redemption of Series A or Series B Preferred
Units shall be deemed to have been issued on the date such Series A or
Series B Preferred Units were issued.
(b) Delivery of Exercise Notices. Any one or more Limited Partners
("Exercising Partners") may, subject to the limitations set forth in this
Section 10.3, deliver to the General Partner written notice in the form
attached to the Unit Certificate as Attachment 1 (the "Exercise Notice")
pursuant to which such Exercising Partners elect to exercise their
Redemption Rights with respect to all or any portion of their Partnership
Units. The Exercise Notice shall specify the specific number of
Partnership Units which the Limited Partner intends to require the
Partnership to redeem for shares of Common Stock and the specific number of
Partnership Units which the Limited Partner intends to require the
Partnership to redeem for cash. Only whole numbers of Partnership Units
may be redeemed. Once delivered, the Exercise Notice shall be irrevocable,
subject to payment by the General Partner of shares of Common Stock and/or
cash in respect of such Partnership Units in accordance with the terms
hereof.
(c) Assumption by General Partner. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, the General Partner may, in its sole and
absolute discretion, assume directly the obligation with respect to and
satisfy an Exercising Partner's exercise of a Redemption Right by paying to
the Exercising Partner, at the General Partner's election, shares of Common
Stock and/or cash, as determined in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10.3(e) below, whereupon the General Partner shall acquire the
Offered Units and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as
the owner of such Offered Units. In the event the General Partner shall
exercise its right to satisfy the Redemption Right in the manner described
in the preceding sentence, the Partnership shall have no obligation to pay
any amount to the Exercising Partner with respect to such Exercising
Partner's exercise of the Redemption Right, and each of the Exercising
Partner, the Partnership and the General Partner shall treat the
transaction between the
-31-
<PAGE>
General Partner and the Exercising Partner as a sale of the Offered Units
to the General Partner for federal income tax purposes.
(d) Limitation on Exercise of Redemption Rights. Redemption Rights
may be exercised at any time and from time to time after the date which is
one (1) year after the date on which such Partnership Units were issued
(or such later date after the date of issuance as may be specified in the
Certificate of Designation of any class of Partnership Units or otherwise
determined by the General Partner), subject to the following limitations:
(i) A Limited Partner may not exercise its Redemption Rights
pursuant to any one particular Exercise Notice for less than
One Thousand (1,000) Partnership Units or, if such Limited
Partner holds less than One Thousand (1,000) Partnership
Units, all of the Partnership Units held by such Limited
Partner;
(ii) A Limited Partner shall not have the right to exercise its
Redemption Rights hereunder if, in the opinion of counsel
selected by the General Partner, in its sole and absolute
discretion, such exercise and/or issuance of shares of
Common Stock may or would (A) violate the General Partner's
Articles of Incorporation, as amended from time to time, (B)
cause the General Partner to fail any one or more of the
REIT Requirements or (C) constitute a violation of
applicable securities laws; and
(iii) Each Limited Partner acknowledges and agrees that the
issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the
Redemption Rights will not be registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), or any state
securities laws. Accordingly, shares of Common Stock issued
to such Limited Partner may be required to be held
indefinitely and the General Partner shall have no
obligation to register such shares under the Act or any
state securities laws unless required to do so pursuant to a
separate written agreement entered into by the General
Partner at the time of the issuance. In addition, such
Limited Partner will be required to meet such other
requirements and to provide such other information and
representations as the General Partner may require, which
are required in the opinion of its counsel to lawfully allow
it to issue such shares without registration under the Act
and any applicable state securities laws. Each Limited
Partner acknowledges that the certificates representing
shares of Common Stock issued will also bear a legend with
respect to any restrictions on transfer required in the
opinion of counsel for the General Partner. The General
Partner acknowledges that the Limited Partners have been
granted the right, in certain circumstances and
-32-
<PAGE>
subject to certain limitations, to require the registration
under the Act of the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant
to the Redemption Rights.
(e) Computation of Number of Exchange Shares and/or Cash To Be Paid. Each
Partnership Unit which is to be redeemed for shares of Common Stock shall be
redeemed for one share of Common Stock, as adjusted from time to time as
provided in Section 10.3(i). Each Partnership Unit which is to be redeemed for
cash shall be redeemed for an amount of cash equal to the Current Per Share
Market Price (determined as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the date
upon which the closing of the redemption of Offered Units is to occur).
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the General Partner,
in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right either (i) to deliver
shares of Common Stock to each Exercising Partner in lieu of all or any portion
of the cash requested by such Exercising Partner, the number of which shares of
Common Stock shall be determined pursuant to the first sentence of this Section
10.3(e) or (ii) to cause the Partnership to pay cash to each Exercising Partner
in lieu of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock requested
by such Exercising Partner, the amount of such cash per Partnership Unit shall
be determined pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 10.3(e). No
fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued in return for Partnership
Units. If more than one Partnership Unit shall be requested to be redeemed at
the same time by the same Limited Partner, the number of full shares of Common
Stock that shall be issuable upon the redemption thereof shall be computed on
the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock represented by the
Partnership Units so presented. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock
would, except for the provisions of this Section 10.3(e), be issuable on the
redemption of any Partnership Units (or specified portion thereof), the General
Partner shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Current Per Share Market Price
(determined as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the date upon the
closing of the Redemption of the Offered Units is to occur), multiplied by such
fraction.
(f) Closing; Delivery of Election Notice. The closing of the redemption
of Offered Units shall, unless otherwise mutually agreed, be held at the
principal offices of the General Partner, on the date agreed to by the General
Partner and the Exercising Partners, which date shall in no event be later than:
(i) ten (10) business days after the date of delivery of the Exercise Notice to
the General Partner or (ii) the first date upon which all legal and other
conditions with respect to such redemption have been satisfied (which shall
include the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods).
(g) Closing Deliveries. At the closing of the redemption of Offered
Units, (i) the Exercising Partners shall execute and deliver (A) proper
instruments of transfer and assignment of the Offered Units, (B) a Unit
Certificate or Unit Certificates representing the number of Offered Units to be
so redeemed and (C) representations and warranties with respect to their due
authority to sell all of the right, title and interest in and to such Offered
Units to the General Partner and, with respect to the status of the Offered
Units, that such Offered Units are free and clear of all liens, claims and
encumbrances
-33-
<PAGE>
whatsoever, and (ii) the General Partner shall (A) if shares of Common Stock are
to be issued, execute and deliver representations and warranties with respect to
its due authority to issue the shares of Common Stock to be received in the
exchange; deliver an opinion of counsel for the General Partner, reasonably
satisfactory to the Exercising Partners, to the effect that such shares of
Common Stock have been duly authorized, are validly issued, fully-paid and
non-assessable; and deliver a stock certificate or certificates evidencing the
shares of Common Stock to be issued and registered in the name(s) of the
Exercising Partner(s) or its or their designee(s), and/or (B) if cash is to be
paid for Partnership Units, deliver a check in the amount of any cash due to the
Exercising Partner(s) at such closing. If any Exercising Partner shall have
delivered a Unit Certificate or Unit Certificates representing a number of
Partnership Units in excess of the number of Offered Units, the Partnership
shall issue to such Exercising Partner, at the expense of the Partnership, a new
Unit Certificate covering the number of Partnership Units representing the
unredeemed portion of the Unit Certificate or Unit Certificates so surrendered,
which new Unit Certificate shall entitle the holder thereof to such rights of
ownership of Partnership Units to the same extent as if the Unit Certificate
covering such unredeemed Partnership Units had not been surrendered for
redemption.
(h) Restriction on Redemption of Partnership Units. Notwithstanding
anything in paragraph (e) and (f) above, or any other provision of this Section
10.3 to the contrary, after the earlier of January 1, 2006, or the date on which
the number of Partners exceeds 500, upon delivery of the Exercise Notice, the
General Partner shall notify the Limited Partner, within 10 days thereof,
whether such Offered Units will be redeemed for cash or Common Stock and the
closing of the redemption of Offered Units shall not occur any earlier than the
later of (i) 10 days after such notification by the General Partner or (ii) the
fifteenth (15th) day after the date on which the Exercise Notice for such
Offered Units was delivered to the General Partner (or, if later, in both case
(i) and (ii), the first date upon which all legal and other conditions with
respect to such redemption have been satisfied, which shall include the
expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods), and in no event
shall the current Per Share Market Price of any such Offered Units be determined
as of any Trading Date prior to the fourteenth (14th) business day after the
date of delivery of the Exercise Notice; provided, however, that the provisions
of this Section 10.3(h) shall cease to apply and shall have no further force or
effect on the date, if any, on which the Partnership receives either a ruling
from the IRS or an unqualified opinion from the General Partner's counsel to the
effect that, under the original provisions of paragraph (e) and (f) prior to any
modification thereof by this paragraph (h), the Partnership will not be treated
as a "publicly traded partnership" within the meaning of Section 7704 of the
Code or any successor provision.
(i) Term of Rights. Unless sooner terminated, the rights of the parties
with respect to the Redemption Rights shall commence as of the date which is one
(1) year after the date of this Agreement and lapse for all purposes and in all
respects upon the termination of the Partnership; provided, however, that the
parties hereto shall continue to
-34-
<PAGE>
be bound by an Exercise Notice delivered to the General Partner prior to such
termination.
(j) Covenants of the General Partner. To facilitate the General Partner's
ability to fully perform its obligations hereunder, the General Partner
covenants and agrees as follows:
(i) At all times during the pendency of the Redemption Rights, the
General Partner shall reserve for issuance such number of shares
of Common Stock as may be necessary to enable the General Partner
to issue such shares in full exchange for all Partnership Units
held by the Limited Partners which are from time to time issued
and outstanding;
(ii) During the pendency of the Redemption Rights, each Limited
Partner shall receive in a timely manner all reports and/or other
communications transmitted from time to time by the General
Partner to its shareholders generally; and
(iii) In case the General Partner shall issue rights or warrants to all
holders of shares of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe
for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less
than the Current Per Share Market Price as of the date
immediately prior to the date of such issuance, the General
Partner shall also issue to each holder of a Partnership Unit
such number of rights or warrants, as the case may be, as he
would have been entitled to receive had he required the
Partnership to redeem his Partnership Units immediately prior to
the record date for such issuance by the General Partner.
(iv) In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be
subdivided into a greater number of shares, the number of shares
of Common Stock for which each Partnership Unit thereafter may be
redeemed shall be increased proportionately, and, conversely, in
case outstanding shares of Common Stock each shall be combined
into a smaller number of shares, the number of shares of Common
Stock for which each Partnership Unit thereafter may be redeemed
shall be reduced proportionately, such increase or reduction as
the case may be, to become effective immediately after the
opening of business on the Trading Day following the day upon
which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(v) In case shares of Common Stock shall be changed into the same or
a different number of shares of any class or classes of shares of
beneficial interest, whether by capital reorganization,
-35-
<PAGE>
reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or
combination of shares or a stock dividend described in Section
10.3(i)(iv) above) then and in each such event the Limited
Partners shall have the right thereafter to require the
Partnership to redeem their Partnership Units for the kind and
amount of shares and other securities and property which would
have been received upon such reorganization, reclassification or
other change by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock
for which the Partnership Units might have been redeemed
immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification or
change.
(vi) The General Partner may, but shall not be required to, make such
adjustments to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
redemption of a Partnership Unit, in addition to those required
by paragraphs (iii), (iv) and (v) of this Section 10.3(i), as the
Board of Directors considers to be advisable in order that any
event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of
stock or stock rights shall not be taxable to the recipients.
The Board of Directors shall have the power to resolve any
ambiguity or correct any error in the adjustments made pursuant
to this Section 10.3(i) and its actions in so doing shall be
final and conclusive.
(k) Limited Partners' Covenant. Each Limited Partner covenants and
agrees with the General Partner that all Offered Units tendered to the
General Partner in accordance with the exercise of Redemption Rights herein
provided shall be delivered to the General Partner free and clear of all
liens, claims and encumbrances whatsoever and should any such liens, claims
and/or encumbrances exist or arise with respect to such Offered Units, the
General Partner shall be under no obligation to acquire the same. Each
Limited Partner further agrees that, in the event any state or local
property transfer tax is payable as a result of the transfer of its Offered
Units to the General Partner (or its designee), such Limited Partner shall
assume and pay such transfer tax.
ARTICLE 11
BANKING, RECORDS AND TAX MATTERS
11.1 Partnership Funds. All funds of the Partnership shall be deposited in
its name in accounts (with banks, "money-market funds," or securities of the
United States government or like investment or depository media) designated by
the General Partner, and the General Partner or its designees shall have the
right to draw checks or other orders of withdrawal thereon and make, deliver,
accept and endorse negotiable instruments in connection with the Partnership
business.
-36-
<PAGE>
11.2 Books and Records. The following books, records, and accounts shall
be maintained by the Partnership, showing its assets, liabilities, transactions,
and financial condition: a current list of the full name and last known address
of each Partner, separately identifying the General and Limited Partners and set
forth in alphabetical order and setting forth the amount of cash or a
description and statement of the Agreed Value of other property contributed or
agreed to be contributed by each partner; the date on which each became a
Partner; a copy of the Certificate and all amendments thereto; copies of the
Partnership's federal, state and local income tax returns and reports, if any,
for the six most recent years; copies of this Agreement and any amendments
thereto; and copies of any financial statements of the Partnership for the three
most recent years. The Partnership's books shall be maintained at the principal
office of the Partnership. Each Partner shall have the right to inspect and
copy such materials at all reasonable times and during ordinary business hours.
The General Partner is not required to deliver to any Limited Partner copies of
the Certificate or any amendments thereto, unless requested by such Limited
Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner shall have the
authority to designate a transfer agent to maintain a record of all of the
Partners of the Partnership, and the appointment of the transfer agent shall
relieve the Partnership of any obligations to keep separate records with respect
to the matters recorded in the books and records maintained by the transfer
agent. The General Partner may, from time to time, demand a statement from the
Limited Partners of record requesting each Limited Partner to disclose the
actual owners of the Partnership Units, including the identity of individuals or
beneficial owners that have an interest directly or indirectly (through other
passthrough entities) in such Limited Partner. Each Limited Partner should
submit such statement to the General Partner within 30 days after such request
was made by the General Partner.
11.3 Financial Statements. Within ninety-five (95) days after the close of
each fiscal year of the Partnership, the General Partner shall cause to be
prepared (at the Partnership's expense) and furnished to each Person who was a
Partner during the fiscal year then ended, a balance sheet of the Partnership as
of the close of such fiscal year and statements of income or loss, and Net Cash
Flow, if any. Such statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and certified by the Accountants for the
Partnership, unless such certification is waived, in writing, by all of the
Partners.
11.4 Tax Returns. Within ninety (90) days following the close of each
fiscal year of the Partnership, the General Partner shall cause to be prepared
(at the Partnership's expense) a United States Partnership Return of Income and
cause to be furnished to each Person who was a Partner during the fiscal year a
schedule (a "K-1 Schedule") of each such Partner's share of income, credits, and
deductions on the form then prescribed by the IRS. All elections and options
available to, or determinations as to items of income or expense of, the
Partnership for federal or state income tax purposes shall be taken, rejected or
made by the Partnership in the sole discretion of the General Partner.
11.5 Section 754 Matters. The General Partner, on behalf of the
Partnership, shall file an election under Section 754 of the Code in accordance
with the procedures set forth in the applicable Regulations promulgated
thereunder, which shall be effective beginning with the first
-37-
<PAGE>
fiscal year of the Partnership with respect to which the Partnership is eligible
to make such election, which election, for such fiscal year, may not be revoked
for any reason.
11.6 Tax Matters Partner. The General Partner is hereby appointed the "tax
matters partner" of the Partnership for all purposes pursuant to Sections
6221-6231 of the Code. The Partnership shall reimburse the tax matters partner
for any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys' and
accountants' fees) incurred or sustained by it in its capacity as tax matters
partner. The Partnership shall indemnify, defend and hold the tax matters
partner harmless from and against any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense
(including attorneys' and accountants' fees) sustained or incurred as a result
of any act or decision concerning the Partnership tax matters and within the
scope of its responsibility as tax matters partner.
11.7 Other Reports. The General Partner shall deliver to each Limited
Partner, in a timely manner, all reports and/or other communications transmitted
from time to time by the General Partner to its shareholders.
ARTICLE 12
TRANSFER OF GENERAL PARTNER INTERESTS
12.1 Transfer of Interest of the General Partner. No General Partner may
at any time sell, assign, transfer, pledge or encumber any or all of its
Partnership Interest in the Partnership or withdraw or retire from the
Partnership except as otherwise provided herein or with the prior written
consent of Partners owning eighty-five percent (85%) of the issued and
outstanding Partnership Units taken as a single class. Retirement or withdrawal
from the Partnership shall not relieve the General Partner of any obligation
theretofore incurred by it hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained herein
to the contrary, the Limited Partners shall have no right whatsoever to remove
the General Partner from the Partnership.
12.2 Retirement of the General Partner. If a General Partner shall
liquidate or dissolve, be adjudged bankrupt, enter into an assignment for the
benefit of creditors, have a receiver appointed to administer its interest in
the Partnership, be the subject of a voluntary or involuntary petition for
bankruptcy that is not dismissed or vacated within ninety (90) days of filing,
or have its interest in the Partnership seized by a judgment creditor, or if
there shall be an individual general partner and he shall die, be adjudicated
incompetent or become permanently disabled (each of the foregoing events is
referred to hereinafter as an "Event of Retirement"), such General Partner,
without further act or notice, immediately shall be deemed to have retired as
General Partner of the Partnership. If the General Partner retires as General
Partner of the Partnership as aforesaid, (i) such General Partner (or its
administrator, executor, personal representative or successor) (a) shall become
a nonparticipating Limited Partner (a "Nonparticipating Limited Partner")
retaining the General Partner's former interest in the Profits, Losses and Net
Cash Flow of the Partnership, but shall not acquire any right or interest in any
payment or distribution to the Limited Partners, as such, pursuant hereto, (b)
shall have no right to participate in the management of the affairs of the
Partnership, and (c) shall be disregarded in determining whether any approval,
consent, or other action has been given or taken by the
-38-
<PAGE>
Limited Partners; and (ii) the surviving General Partner(s), if any, shall
remain as such and the Partners hereby agree and consent that the Partnership
shall continue in effect and shall not terminate, subject, however, to the
provisions of Section 12.5 hereof.
12.3 Transferee of the General Partner's Interest. Any Person, other than
the General Partner, who acquires, in any manner whatsoever (except as herein
otherwise provided) the interest, or any portion thereof, of the General
Partner, shall not be a General Partner, but shall be entitled to become a
Nonparticipating Limited Partner upon written acceptance and adoption of all of
the terms and provisions of this Agreement and compliance with the requirements
of Section 13.3 of this Agreement. Such Person shall, to the extent of the
interest acquired, be entitled only to the transferor General Partner's rights,
if any, in the Profits, Losses and Net Cash Flow of the Partnership, but shall
not acquire any right or interest in any payment or distribution to the Limited
Partners, as such, pursuant hereto. No such Person shall have any right to
participate in the management of the affairs of the Partnership, and the
interest acquired by such Person shall be disregarded in determining whether any
approval, consent or other action has been given or taken by the Limited
Partners.
12.4 Retirement of Last Remaining General Partner. If the last remaining
General Partner shall at any time withdraw or suffer an Event of Retirement, the
Limited Partners shall have the right, within ninety (90) days thereafter, by a
written consent executed and delivered by Limited Partners owning a majority of
the issued and outstanding Partnership Interests taken as a single class, to
appoint one or more new General Partners as replacement General Partners, unless
the Act requires a greater percentage of the Limited Partners to consent to the
continuation of the Partnership, in which case such higher percentage shall be
required for the continuation of the Partnership. In such event, the Limited
Partners shall create for such replacement General Partners such interest in the
Partnership Profits, Losses and Net Cash Flow as the Limited Partners may agree
upon from among their collective interests in the Partnership.
12.5 Continuation of Partnership. In the event of the timely appointment
of a replacement or new General Partner(s) pursuant to this Article 12, the
relationship of the Partners shall be governed by the provisions of this
Agreement, the Partnership shall be continued, and the replacement or new
General Partner(s) shall have all of the management rights, duties,
responsibilities, authority and powers provided the General Partner in this
Agreement. If the Limited Partners fail to select a replacement or new General
Partner(s), whichever the case may be, within ninety (90) days following
retirement of the last remaining General Partner, the Partnership shall dissolve
and terminate.
12.6 Merger or Consolidation of the General Partner.
(a) Whether or not Section 9.3 hereof is applicable, the General
Partner shall not, unless Section 12.6(b) is applicable, engage in any
merger, consolidation or other combination with or into another person,
sale of all or substantially all of its assets or any reclassification,
recapitalization or similar transaction (each, a "Termination
Transaction"), unless such Termination Transaction is one in connection
with which all Limited Partners either will receive, or will have the right
to elect to receive, for each
-39-
<PAGE>
Partnership Unit, an amount of cash, securities, or other property equal to
the product of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such
Partnership Unit is convertible (or in the case of a Series A and Series B
Preferred Unit, the number of OP Units into which such Series A or Series B
Unit is convertible) and the greatest amount of cash, securities or other
property paid to a holder of one share of Common Stock in consideration of
one share of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Termination
Transaction; provided that; if, in connection with the Termination
Transaction, a purchase, tender or exchange offer shall have been made to
and accepted by the holders of the outstanding Common Stock, each holder of
Partnership Units (other than the Series A or Series B Preferred Units or
any other class of Partnership Units that are not directly redeemable for
Common Stock) shall receive, or shall have the right to elect to receive,
the greatest amount of cash, securities, or other property which such
holder would have received had it exercised its right to Redemption (as set
forth in Section 10.3)) and received Common Stock in exchange for its
Partnership Units immediately prior to the expiration of such purchase,
tender or exchange offer and had thereupon accepted such purchase, tender
or exchange offer and then such Termination Transaction shall have been
consummated.
(b) Whether or not Section 9.3 hereof is applicable, the General
Partner may merge, or otherwise combine its assets, with another entity
without satisfying the requirements of Section 12.6(a) hereof if: (i)
immediately after such merger or other combination, substantially all of
the assets directly or indirectly owned by the surviving entity, other than
Partnership Units held by such General Partner, are owned directly or
indirectly by the Partnership or another limited partnership or limited
liability company which is the survivor of a merger, consolidation or
combination of assets with the Partnership (in each case, the "Surviving
Partnership"); (ii) the Limited Partners own a percentage interest of the
Surviving Partnership based on the relative fair market value of the net
assets of the Partnership (as determined pursuant to Section 12.6(c)) and
the relative fair market value of the other net assets of the Surviving
Partnership (as determined pursuant to Section 12.6(c)) immediately prior
to the consummation of such transaction; (iii) the rights, preferences and
privileges of the Limited Partners in the Surviving Partnership are at
least as favorable as those in effect immediately prior to the consummation
of such transaction and as those applicable to any other limited partners
or non-managing members of the Surviving Partnership; and (iv) such rights
of the Limited Partners include the right to exchange their interests in
the Surviving Partnership for at least one of: (A) the consideration
available to such Limited Partners pursuant to Section 12.6(a), or (B) if
the ultimate controlling person of the Surviving Partnership has publicly
traded common equity securities, such common equity securities, with an
exchange ratio based on the relative fair market value of such securities
(as determined pursuant to Section 12.6(c)) and the Common Stock.
(c) In connection with any transaction permitted by Section 12.6(a)
or 12.6(b), the relative fair market values shall be reasonably determined
by the General Partner as of the time of such transaction and, to the
extent applicable, shall be no less
-40-

favorable to the Limited Partners than the relative values reflected in the
terms of such transactions.
ARTICLE 13
TRANSFER OF LIMITED PARTNER INTERESTS
13.1 Transfer of Interest of a Limited Partner. Except as otherwise
specifically provided in this Agreement, no Limited Partner may sell, assign,
transfer, pledge, encumber or in any manner dispose of all or any part of its
Partnership Interest without the prior written consent of the General Partner,
which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
each Limited Partner shall have the right to (i) pledge or otherwise encumber
all or any portion of its Partnership Interest (subject, however, to applicable
securities laws) and/or (ii) transfer all or any portion of its Partnership
Interest to members of the Immediate Family of such Limited Partner and to one
or more trusts for the benefit of one or more members of the Immediate Family of
such Limited Partner for estate and/or gift tax purposes, upon prior written
notice to the General Partner. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, in no event shall the General Partner consent to an assignment of all
or any portion of the Partnership Interest of a Limited Partner in the
Partnership if, in the opinion of the General Partner (or of counsel
satisfactory to the General Partner), such assignment (i) will result in a
termination of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes or otherwise
result in adverse tax consequences to the Partnership or any Partner, (ii) will
result in the Partnership failing to qualify for an exemption from the
registration requirements of the federal or any applicable state securities
laws, (iii) will result in the imposition of fiduciary responsibility on the
Partnership or any Partner under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended from time to time, (iv) will result in a violation of any
provision of any mortgage or trust deed (or the note or bond secured thereby)
constituting a lien against any assets of the Partnership, or other instrument,
document or agreement to which the Partnership is a party or otherwise bound,
(v) represents a transfer of any component portion of a Partnership Interest,
such as the Capital Account, or rights to Net Cash Flow, separate and apart from
all other components of a Partnership Interest, or (vi) will cause the General
Partner to cease to comply with any and all REIT Requirements. Subject to
satisfaction of the conditions therefor set forth or referred to herein, each
Limited Partner hereby consents to the substitution or admission of any assignee
of a Limited Partner. Any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, encumbrance,
hypothecation or other disposition by a Limited Partner of all or any part of
its Partnership Interest in violation of the provisions hereof shall be void ab
initio and of no force or effect whatsoever.
13.2 Assignee and Substitute Limited Partners. No Person shall be admitted
as an assignee or substituted Limited Partner under this Agreement unless and
until:
(a) An assignment is made in writing, signed by the assigning Partner
and accepted in writing by the assignee, and a duplicate original of such
assignment has been delivered to and approved by the General Partner;
-41-
<PAGE>
(b) The General Partner has received an opinion of counsel favorably
covering the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 13.1
above, or waived all or any portion of this requirement;
(c) The prospective admittee executes and delivers to the General
Partner a written agreement in form reasonably satisfactory to the General
Partner pursuant to which said Person agrees to be bound by and confirms
the obligations, representations, warranties and power of attorney
contained in this Agreement; and
(d) An appropriate amendment to this Agreement is executed.
13.3 Assignment. In the event an assignment is made in accordance with the
terms hereof, unless otherwise required by the Code:
(a) The effective date of such assignment shall be the date the
written instrument of assignment is delivered to the Partnership and
approved by the General Partner;
(b) The Partnership and the General Partner shall be entitled to
treat the assignor of the assigned interest as the absolute owner thereof
in all respects and shall incur no liability for allocations of Profits or
Losses and distributions of Net Cash Flow made in good faith to such
assignor until such time as the written instrument of assignment has been
actually received and approved by the General Partner, and recorded in the
books of the Partnership; and
(c) The division and allocation of Profits or Losses, other than
Profits or Losses arising from a Liquidation of the Partnership,
attributable to the applicable Partnership Interests between the assignor
and assignee during any fiscal year of the Partnership shall be based upon
the length of time during such fiscal year, as measured by the effective
date of such assignment, that the assigned Partnership Interest was owned
by each of them and shall not be based upon the date or dates during such
fiscal year in which income was earned or losses were sustained by the
Partnership; provided, however, that the division and allocation of Profits
or Losses resulting from a Liquidation of the Partnership shall be based
upon the date or dates such income was earned or losses were sustained.
13.4 Cost of Admission. The cost of processing and perfecting an admission
contemplated by this Article 13 (including reasonable attorney's fees incurred
by the Partnership) shall be borne by the party seeking admission as a Partner
to the Partnership.
ARTICLE 14
DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION OF PARTNERSHIP
14.1 Dissolution of the Partnership. The Partnership shall be dissolved
upon the happening of any of the following:
(a) An election to dissolve and wind up the affairs of the
Partnership by the General Partner (subject to Section 9.3 hereof);
(b) The occurrence of an Event of Retirement to the last remaining
General Partner, unless the Limited Partners elect to continue the business
of the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of Sections 12.4 and 12.5;
(c) Any event that makes it unlawful for the Partnership business to
be continued;
(d) The sale, disposition, or abandonment of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Partnership unless the General Partner, with the
written consent of Partners owning eighty-five percent (85%) of the
Partnership Interests taken as a single class (which consent may not be
unreasonably withheld), elects to continue the Partnership business for the
purpose of the receipt and the collection of indebtedness or the collection
of any other consideration to be received in exchange for the assets of the
Partnership (which activities shall be deemed to be part of the winding up
of the affairs of the Partnership);
(e) Dissolution required by operation of law; or
(f) December 31, 2093.
14.2 Winding Up of Affairs. In the event of the dissolution and
liquidation of the Partnership for any reason, the General Partner shall
commence to wind up the affairs of the Partnership and shall convert all of the
Partnership's assets to cash or cash equivalents within such reasonable period
of time as may be required to receive fair value therefor. All items of income,
gain, loss, deduction and credit during the period of liquidation shall be
allocated among the Partners in the same manner as before the dissolution. If
there is no General Partner to effect such Liquidation, then the Limited
Partners, pursuant to a vote of Limited Partners owning a majority of the issued
and outstanding Partnership Units owned by all Limited Partners, may designate
any person, firm or corporation, as a Liquidating Trustee, for that purpose who
shall have all of the rights, powers and authority of a General Partner stated
herein in connection therewith.
14.3 Accounting. In the case of the dissolution and termination of the
Partnership, prior to any distributions to Partners pursuant to Section 14.4(c)
below, a proper accounting shall be made of the Capital Accounts of the Partners
and of each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Partnership
from the date of the last previous accounting to the date of dissolution. The
General Partner shall provide a copy of such accounting to all Partners.
-43-
<PAGE>
14.4 Final Distribution of Partnership Property. Upon termination of the
Partnership, the General Partner shall apply and distribute the remaining
property of the Partnership, together with the proceeds of any sales of same, as
follows:
(a) first, all Partnership debts and liabilities shall be paid and
discharged, including debts owed to Partners and any Affiliates of
Partners;
(b) second, to establish any reserve for any contingent or unforeseen
liabilities or obligations of the Partnership. Such funds shall be placed
in escrow by the General Partner for the purposes of disbursing such funds
in payment of any of the contingencies, liabilities or obligations, and, at
the expiration of such period as the General Partner shall deem advisable,
the balance then remaining shall be distributed pursuant to subsection (c)
of this Section 14.4; and
(c) third, to distribute the balance to the Partners in the manner
and priority set forth in Article 8 hereof, with any and all Net Cash Flow
arising from the ordinary course of the Partnership's business during the
period of liquidation being distributed pursuant to Section 8.1(a) and any
and all Net Cash Flow arising pursuant to the sale and/or other liquidation
of Partnership property being distributed pursuant to Section 8.1(b)
hereof.
Distributions upon liquidation of the Partnership (or any Partner's
interest in the Partnership) and related adjustments shall be made by the end of
the taxable year of the liquidation (or, if later, within 90 days after the date
of such liquidation) or as otherwise permitted by the Regulations.
14.5 Certificate of Cancellation. Upon completion of the liquidation of
the Partnership and the distribution of all Partnership property, the
Partnership shall terminate and the General Partner shall have the authority to
execute and record one or more Certificates of Cancellation of the Partnership
as well as any and all other documents required or considered advisable by the
General Partner to effectuate the dissolution and termination of the
Partnership.
ARTICLE 15
POWER OF ATTORNEY
15.1 Power of Attorney. Each Partner, by its execution hereof, irrevocably
constitutes and appoints the General Partner, or any substitute or replacement
General Partner, with full power of substitution, as such Partner's true and

any other jurisdiction;
(b) One or more Certificates of Cancellation of the Partnership and
such other instruments or documents as may be deemed necessary or desirable
by the General Partner upon termination of the Partnership business;
(c) Any and all amendments to this Agreement and to the instruments

(including, without limitation, any amendment to this Agreement and to the
Certificate to reflect the substitution or admission of a Limited Partner
pursuant to this Agreement); and
(d) Any and all such other documents and instruments as may be deemed
necessary or desirable by said attorney to carry out fully the provisions

shall survive the death or incapacity of a Partner who is a natural person or,
in the case of a Partner that is not a natural person, the merger, dissolution
or other termination of its existence of the Partner, (b) may be exercised by
the General Partner on behalf of each Partner, by a facsimile signature or by
listing all of the Partners executing any instrument with a single signature as
attorney-in-fact for all of them, and (c) shall survive the assignment by a

ARTICLE 16
AMENDMENT OF PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
16.1 Amendments by Partners. Except as may be specifically provided below
in this Section 16.1 and in Sections 16.2 and 9.3 hereof, this Agreement may
only be amended with the written concurrence of the General Partner and the
written consent of Partners owning a majority of the Partnership Units taken as
a single class (which shall mean that only the General Partner's consent is
necessary if the General Partner owns a majority of the Partnership Units, taken
as a single class, in which case the Limited Partners need not be solicited but
shall be informed of the amendment); provided, however, that absent the
concurrence of the General Partner and the approval of all of the Limited
Partners no amendment shall increase the obligation of any Partner to make
contributions to the capital of the Partnership; provided, further, however,
that absent (i) the concurrence of the General Partner, (ii) the approval of the
Limited Partners adversely affected and (iii) the approval of Limited Partners
owning eighty-five percent (85%) of the Partnership Units held by all Limited
Partners, taken as a single class, no amendment shall:
-45-
<PAGE>
(a) modify the order of allocation of distributions of the Net Cash
Flow or liquidating distributions, or the allocation of Profits and Losses
among the Partners (other than as specifically provided for herein,
including without limitation, modifications pursuant to Section 6.4
hereof);
(b) change the Partnership to a general partnership;
(c) reduce the percentage of Limited Partners required to consent to
any matter in this Agreement; or
(d) amend Section 9.4(a)(iv) or 9.4(b) hereof or amend Section 10.3
hereof in any manner that prohibits or restricts, or has the effect of
prohibiting or restricting, the ability of a Limited Partner to exercise
its Redemption Rights in full;
(e) amend Section 12.6(a), (b) or (c); or
(f) amend this Article 16.
16.2 Amendment by the General Partner. Notwithstanding anything contained
in this Agreement to the contrary, the General Partner shall have the power,
without the consent of the Limited Partners, to amend this Agreement as may be
required to facilitate or implement any of the following purposes:
(a) To add to the obligations of the General Partner or surrender any
right or power granted to the General Partner or any Affiliate of the

not adversely affect the Limited Partners in any material respect, or to
cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision in this Agreement
not inconsistent with law or with other provisions, or make other changes
with respect to matters arising under this Agreement that will not be
inconsistent with law or with the provisions of this Agreement;
(d) To satisfy any requirements, conditions or guidelines contained
in any order, directive, opinion, ruling or regulation of a federal or
state agency or contained in federal or state law; and
(e) To amend the provisions of this Agreement that protect the
qualification of the General Partner as a REIT if such provisions are no
longer necessary because of a
-46-
<PAGE>
change in applicable law (or an authoritative interpretation thereof), a
ruling of the IRS, or if the General Partner has determined to cease
qualifying as a REIT.
The General Partner will provide notice to the Limited Partners when any action
under this Section 16.2 is taken.
16.3 Amendment of Certificate. If this Agreement shall be amended pursuant
to this Article 16, the General Partner shall cause the Certificate to be

ARTICLE 17
INDEMNIFICATION
17.1 Partnership Indemnification of Partner. To the maximum extent
permitted from time to time under Delaware law, the Partnership shall indemnify,
defend and hold the General Partner (in its capacity as General Partner) and its
Affiliates, trustees, officers, directors, employees and agents, or their
respective successors, executors, administrators or personal representatives
harmless from and against any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) sustained or incurred as a result of any
act or omission concerning the business or activities of the Partnership or
General Partner; provided such act or omission was not in violation of any term
or provision of this Agreement or any provision of law. The foregoing indemnity
shall not be enforceable against any Limited Partner personally but solely from
such Limited Partner's interest in the Partnership.
17.2 Partner Indemnification of Partnership. In the event the Partnership
is made a party to any litigation or otherwise incurs any loss or expense as a
result of or in connection with any Partner's personal obligations or
liabilities unrelated to Partnership business, such Partner shall indemnify and
reimburse the Partnership for all such loss and expense incurred, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, and the interest of such Partner in the Partnership

shall not be limited to such Partner's interest in the Partnership, but shall be
enforceable against such Partner personally.

---------------
of the Mack Companies and, through such service, has acquired special and unique
knowledge, abilities and expertise;
Whereas, in connection with the combination of Cali Realty Corporation with
the Mack Companies (the "Mack Combination") the Company desires to employ
Executive as President and Chief Operating Officer and to have Executive serve
as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"), and
Executive desires to be employed by the Company as President and Chief Operating
Officer and serve as a member of the Board pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement.
Now, Therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

to accept such employment during the period and upon the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement.
2. Employment Period.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement to the contrary,
the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be and remain in effect during
the period of employment (the "Employment Period") established under this
Paragraph 2. The initial Employment Period shall be for a term commencing on
the date of this Agreement and ending on the fifth anniversary of the date of
this Agreement provided, however, that commencing on the day after the date of
this Agreement and on each day thereafter, the Employment Period shall be
extended for one additional day so that a constant five (5) year Employment
Period shall be in effect, unless (i) the Company or Executive elects not to
extend the term of this Agreement by giving written notice to the other party in
accordance with Paragraph 19, in which case, subject to the provisions of
sub-paragraph 5(a)(iv) below, the term of this Agreement shall become fixed and
shall end on the fifth anniversary of the date of such written notice ("Notice
of Non-Renewal"), or (ii) Executive's employment terminates hereunder.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary: (i)
Executive's employment with the Company may be terminated by the Company or
Executive during the Employment Period, subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement; and (ii) nothing in this Agreement shall mandate or prohibit a

2
<PAGE>
of Executive's employment following the expiration of the Employment Period upon
such terms and conditions as the Board and Executive may mutually agree.
(c) If Executive's employment with the Company is terminated, for
purposes of this Agreement the term "Unexpired Employment Period" shall mean the
period commencing on the date of such termination and ending on the last day of
the Employment Period.
3. Services / Place of Employment.
(a) Services. During the Employment Period, Executive shall hold the
positions of President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company and shall
serve as a member of the Board. Executive shall devote his best efforts and
substantially all of his business time, skill and attention to the business of
the Company (other than absences due to vacation, illness, disability or
approved leave of absence), and shall perform such duties as are customarily
performed by similar executive officers and as may be more specifically
enumerated from time to time by the Board or Executive Committee of the Board;
provided, however, that the foregoing is not intended to (a) preclude Executive
from (i) owning and managing personal investments, including real estate
investments, subject to the restrictions set forth in Paragraph 13 hereof or
(ii) engaging in charitable activities and community affairs, or (b) restrict or
otherwise limit Executive from conducting real estate development, acquisition
or management activities with respect to those properties described in Schedule
A, attached hereto, (the "Excluded Properties"), provided that the performance
of the activities referred to in clauses (a)
3

and (b) does not prevent Executive from devoting substantially all of his
business time to the Company.
(b) Place of Employment. The principal place of employment of Executive
shall be at the Company's principal executive offices in Cranford, New Jersey.
4. Compensation and Benefits.
(a) Salary. During the Employment Period, the Company shall pay
Executive a minimum annual base salary in the amount of $1,050,000 (the "Annual
Base Salary") payable in accordance with the Company's regular payroll
practices. Executive's Annual Base Salary shall be reviewed annually in
accordance with the policy of the Company from time to time and may be subject
to upward adjustment based upon, among other things, Executive's performance, as
determined in the sole discretion of the Option and Executive Compensation
Committee of the Board (the "Compensation Committee"). In no event shall
Executive's Annual Base Salary in effect at a particular time be reduced without
his prior written consent.
(b) Incentive Compensation/Bonuses. In addition, Executive shall be
eligible for incentive compensation payable each year in such amounts as may be
determined by the Compensation Committee based upon, among other factors, growth
in Funds from Operations per Common Share (as hereinafter defined) for the year.
Executive shall be entitled to receive such bonuses and options to purchase
shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "Common
Stock") as the Board or the Compensation Committee as the case may be shall
approve, in its
4
<PAGE>
sole discretion, including, without limitation, options and bonuses contingent
upon Executive's performance and the achievement of specified financial and
operating objectives for Funds from Operations per Common Share. For purposes
of this Agreement, "Funds from Operations per Common Share" for any period shall
mean (i) net income (loss) before minority interest of unit holders, computed in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding
gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sale of property, plus real estate
return, depreciation and amortization as calculated in accordance with the
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts definition published in
March 1995, as amended from time to time, and as applied in accordance with the
accounting practices and policies of the Company in effect from time to time on
a consistent basis to the entire Employment Period, divided by (ii) the sum of
(A) the primary weighted average number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as
it appears in the Company's financial statement for the applicable period and
(B) the primary weighted average number of outstanding common limited
partnership units ("Common OP Units") of Mack-Cali Realty, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership (the "Partnership") of which the Company is the sole general
partner, for the applicable period. All classes of preferred stock which are
convertible into Common Stock and all classes of preferred or other units which
are convertible into Common OP Units shall be treated as if they have been
converted into Common Stock or Common OP Units and shall be included in the
denominator, irrespective of any waiting period which must elapse prior to
conversion.
(c) Taxes and Withholding. The Company shall have the right to deduct and
withhold from all compensation all social security and other federal, state
5
<PAGE>
and local taxes and charges which currently are or which hereafter may be
required by law to be so deducted and withheld.
(d) Additional Benefits. In addition to the compensation specified above
and other benefits provided pursuant to this Paragraph 4, Executive shall be
entitled to the following benefits:
(i) participation in the Employee Stock Option Plan of Cali Realty
Corporation, the Cali Realty Corporation 401(k) Savings and
Retirement Plan (subject to statutory rules and maximum
contributions and non-discrimination requirements applicable to
401(k) plans) and such other benefit plans and programs ,
including but not limited to restricted stock, phantom stock and/or
unit awards, loan programs and any other incentive compensation
plans or programs (whether or not employee benefit plans or
programs), as maintained by the Company from time to time and
made generally available to executives of the Company with such
participation to be consistent with reasonable Company guidelines;
(ii) participation in any health insurance, disability insurance, paid
vacation, group life insurance or other welfare benefit program made
generally available to executives of the Company; and
(iii) participation in the security plan and reimbursement for reasonable
business expenses incurred by Executive in furtherance of the
interests of the Company.
As further consideration for Executive agreeing to serve as an officer and
entering into this Agreement upon the terms set forth herein, including, without
limitation, the terms relating to non-competition set forth in Paragraph 13
below, the Company is issuing to Executive, warrants to purchase an aggregate
of 340,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price equal to fair market value
on the date of the consummation of the Mack Combination ("Warrants").
Executive's Warrants shall be evidenced by the Warrant Agreement dated December
__ , 1997 which shall include, but not be limited to, the following provision:
vesting over a five year period with one
6
<PAGE>
fifth (1/5) of the Warrants vesting on each of the first, second, third, fourth
and fifth anniversaries of the date of the Warrant Agreement. For purposes of
this issuance "fair market value" shall mean the closing price as quoted on the
New York Stock Exchange at the end of the last business day preceding the date
of the grant as reported in the New York edition of the Wall Street Journal.

persons, as such terms are used in Sections 13 and 14 of the
Securities
8
<PAGE>
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), other than
any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company, becomes the
"beneficial owner", as such term is used in Section 13 of the
Exchange Act, (irrespective of any vesting or waiting periods) of
(I) Common Stock or any class of stock convertible into Common
Stock and/or (II) Common OP Units or preferred units or any other
class of units convertible into Common OP Units, in an amount
equal to twenty (20%) percent or more of the sum total of the
Common Stock and the Common OP Units (treating all classes of
outstanding stock, units or other securities convertible into
stock units as if they were converted into Common Stock or Common

a single class and disregarding any equity raise in connection
with the financing of such transaction; (B) any Common Stock is
purchased pursuant to a tender or exchange offer other than an
offer by the Company; (C) the dissolution or liquidation of the
Company or the consummation of any merger or consolidation of the
Company or any sale or other disposition of all or substantially

unitholders of the Partnership taken as a whole and considered as
one class immediately before such transaction own, immediately
after consummation of such transaction, equity securities and
partnership units possessing less than fifty (50%) percent of the
surviving or acquiring company and partnership taken as a whole;
or (D) a turnover, during any two (2) year period, of the
majority of the members of the Board, without the consent of the

(b) Notice of Termination. Any termination of Executive's employment by
the Company or any such termination by Executive (other than on account of
death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party
hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a
notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement
relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances
claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive's employment under the
provision so indicated. In the event of
9
<PAGE>
the termination of Executive's employment on account of death, written Notice of
Termination shall be deemed to have been provided on the date of death.
6. Compensation Upon Termination of Employment By the Company for
Cause or By Executive without Good Reason.
In the event the Company terminates Executive's employment for Cause or
Executive terminates his employment without Good Reason, the Company shall pay
Executive any unpaid Annual Base Salary at the rate then in effect accrued
through and including the date of termination. In addition, in such event,
Executive shall be entitled (i) to receive any earned but unpaid incentive
compensation or bonuses and (ii) to exercise any options which have vested and
are exercisable in accordance with the terms of the applicable option grant
agreement or plan.
Except for any rights which Executive may have to unpaid salary amounts
through and including the date of termination, earned but unpaid incentive
compensation or bonuses and vested options, the Company shall have no further
obligations hereunder following such termination. The aforesaid amounts shall
be payable in full immediately upon such termination.
7. Compensation Upon Termination of Employment Upon Death or Disability.
In the event of termination of Executive's employment as a result of either
Executive's death or Disability, the Company shall pay to Executive, his estate
or his personal representative (i) the unpaid Annual Base Salary at the rate
then in effect through the end of the Unexpired Employment Period (the "Annual
Base Salary
10
<PAGE>
Payment"); (ii) a pro-rata portion, based upon the number of days in the period
beginning with the date of the termination of Executive's employment due to
death or Disability and ending with the last day of the Unexpired Employment
Period, of the cash equivalent of the average annual amount of all other
compensation based on the average of the last two (2) calendar years immediately
preceding the year in which Executive's termination of employment occurs
including, without limitation, incentive compensation payments, bonuses and
stock based compensation (e.g., stock options, restricted stock awards, etc.)
paid, granted or accreted to Executive during such years (the "Pro-Rata Portion
of Other Compensation") and (iii) reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to
date of termination ("Expense Reimbursement"). The aforesaid amounts shall be
payable in cash without discount for early payment, at the option of Executive,
his estate or his personal representative, either in full immediately upon such
termination or monthly over the Unexpired Employment Period (the "Payment
Election"). In the event of termination of employment due to Disability,
Executive shall also receive continuation of health coverage through the end of
the Unexpired Employment Period on the same basis as health coverage is provided
by the Company for active employees and as may be amended from time to time
("Medical Continuation").
In addition, all (A) incentive compensations payments or programs of any
nature whether stock based or otherwise that are subject to a vesting
schedule including without limitation restricted stock, phantom stock, units
and any loan forgiveness arrangements granted to Executive ("Incentive
Compensation") shall immediately vest as of the date of such termination
("Vested Incentive Compensation") and (B) options
11
<PAGE>
granted to Executive shall immediately vest as of the date of such termination
(the "Vested Options") and Executive shall be entitled at the option of
Executive, his estate or his personal representative, within one (1) year of the
date of such termination, to exercise any options which have vested (including,
without limitation, by acceleration in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, the applicable option grant agreement or plan) and are exercisable in
accordance with the terms of the applicable option grant agreement or plan
and/or any other methods or procedures for exercise applicable to optionees or
to require the Company (upon written notice delivered within one hundred eighty
(180) days following the date of Executive's termination) to repurchase all or
any portion of Executive's vested options to purchase shares of Common Stock at
a price equal to the difference between the Repurchase Fair Market Value (as
hereinafter defined) of the shares of Common Stock for which the options to be
repurchased are exercisable and the exercise price of such options as of the
date of Executive's termination of employment (the "Vested Option Exercise
Election"). In the event of a conflict between any option grant agreement or
plan and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
Except for any rights which Executive may have to all of the above
including the Annual Base Salary Payment, the Pro-Rata Portion of Other
Compensation, Vested Incentive Compensation, Vested Options, Expense
Reimbursement and in the event of a termination of employment due to Disability,
Medical Continuation, the Company shall have no further obligations hereunder
following such termination.
For purposes of this Agreement, "Repurchase Fair Market Value" shall
mean the average of the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange (or such
other exchange
12
<PAGE>
on which the Common Stock is primarily traded) of the Common Stock on each of
the trading days within the thirty (30) days immediately preceding the date of
termination of Executive's employment.
8. Compensation Upon Termination of Employment By the Company
Without Cause or By Executive for Good Reason.
In the event the Company terminates Executive's employment for any reason
other than Cause or Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, the
Company shall pay to Executive and Executive shall be entitled to receive the
greater of (i) ten million dollars ($10,000,000) with such amount subject only
to upwards adjustment from time to time by the Compensation Committee (the
"Fixed Amount") or (ii) the sum total of (A) the Annual Base Salary Payment and
(B) the Pro-Rata Portion of Other Compensation. The aforesaid amount shall be
payable in cash without discount for early payment, at the option of Executive,
either in full immediately upon such termination or monthly over the Unexpired
Employment Period.
In addition, the Executive shall be entitled to receive Vested Incentive
Compensation, Vested Options exercisable pursuant to the Vested Option
Exercise Election, Medical Continuation, and Expense Reimbursement.
Executive understands that any options exercised more than ninety (90) days
following the date of his termination of employment which were granted as
incentive stock options shall automatically be converted into non-qualified
options.
Except for any rights which Executive may have to Vested Incentive
Compensation, Vested Options, Medical Continuation and Expense Reimbursement
13
<PAGE>
and either the Fixed Amount or in lieu thereof to the Annual Base Salary
Payment, and the Pro-Rata Portion of Other Compensation (as defined in Paragraph
7), the Company shall have no further obligations hereunder following such
termination. The parties both agree that the agreement to make these payments
was consideration and an inducement to obtain Executive's consent to enter into
this Agreement. The payments are not a penalty and neither party will claim
them to be a penalty. Rather, the payments represent a fair approximation of
reasonable amounts due to Executive for the Employment Period.
9. Change in Control.
(a) Options. Any Incentive Compensation and options granted to
Executive that have not vested as of the date of a Change in Control shall
immediately vest upon the date of the Change in Control. Neither the
occurrence of a Change in Control, nor the vesting in any options as a result
thereof shall require Executive to exercise any options. In the event of a
conflict between any Incentive Compensation grant agreement or program or any
option grant agreement or plan and this Agreement, the terms of this
Agreement shall control.
(b) Upon Termination. In the event Executive terminates his
employment on or following a Change in Control as set forth in sub-paragraph
5(a)(vii), the Company shall pay to Executive and Executive shall be entitled
to all the payments and rights Executive would have had if Executive had
terminated his employment with Good Reason as set forth in Paragraph 8.
14
<PAGE>
The aforesaid amount shall be payable in accordance with Executive's
Payment Election.
Except for any rights which Executive may have to Vested Incentive
Compensation, Vested Options (including, without limitation, by acceleration
in accordance with sub-paragraph 9(a)), Medical Continuation, Expense
Reimbursement and the Excise Tax Gross Up set forth in subparagraph 9(d),
and either the Fixed Amount or in lieu thereof to the Annual Base Salary
Payment, and the Pro-Rata Portion of Other Compensation (as defined in
Paragraph 7), the Company shall have no further obligations hereunder
following such termination.
(c) Retention Payment. Prior to the date of a Change in Control and
subject to the approval of the Board, Executive may make an election to receive,
as a retention payment, the payments and rights set forth sub-paragraph 9(b)
above (the "Retention Payment") and remain in the employ of the successor after
the Change in Control. In the event that Executive makes such election and the
Board approves the same, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect
except that (i) simultaneously with the receipt of the Retention Payment,
Executive shall waive any right to receive any additional payment as a direct
result of such Change in Control, and (ii) other than with respect to the
consummation of a subsequent transaction which constitutes a Change in Control
and is unrelated to the Change in Control with respect to which the Retention
Payment was paid, termination payments otherwise due subsequently under this
Agreement for any event requiring payment of termination payments under this
Agreement which occurs within the six (6) month period immediately following the
date
15
<PAGE>
of the Change In Control as to which the Retention Payment was paid shall be
reduced by the Retention Payment paid to Executive on the date of the Change in
Control.
Any cash payments owed to Executive pursuant to this sub-paragraph 9(c)
shall be paid to Executive in a single sum without discount for early payment at
the time of the Change in Control but prior to the consummation of the
transaction with any successor.
(d) Excise Tax Gross Up. In addition, if it is determined by an
independent accountant mutually acceptable to the Company and Executive that as
a result of any payment in the nature of compensation made by the Company to (or
for the benefit of) Executive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, an excise
tax may be imposed on Executive pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code (or any
successor provisions), the Company shall pay Executive in cash an amount equal
to X determined under the following formula: (the "Excise Tax Gross Up"):
E x P
X = -----------------------------------
1-[(FI x (1-SLI)) + SLI + E + M]
where
E = the rate at which the excise tax is assessed under Section
4999 of the Code (or any successor provisions);
P = the amount with respect to which such excise tax is
assessed, determined without regard to the Excise Tax
Gross Up;
FI = the highest effective marginal rate of income tax applicable
to Executive under the Code for the taxable year in question
(taking into account any phase-out or loss of deductions,
personal exemptions or other similar adjustments);
16
<PAGE>
SLI = the sum of the highest effective marginal rates of income
tax applicable to Executive under all applicable state and
local laws for the taxable year in question (taking into
account any phase-out or loss of deductions, personal
exemptions and other similar adjustments); and
M = the highest marginal rate of Medicare tax applicable to
Executive under the Code for the taxable year in question.
With respect to any payment in the nature of compensation that is made to (or
for the benefit of) Executive under the terms of this Agreement or otherwise and
on which an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor
provisions) may be assessed, the payment determined under this sub-paragraph
9(d) shall be paid to Executive at the time of the Change in Control but prior
to the consummation of the transaction with any successor. It is the intention
of the parties that the Company provide Executive with a full tax gross-up under
the provisions of this Paragraph, so that on a net after-tax basis, the result
to Executive shall be the same as if the excise tax under Section 4999 of the
Code (or any successor provisions) had not been imposed. The Excise Tax Gross
Up may be adjusted if alternative minimum tax rules are applicable to Executive.
10. Mitigation / Effect on Employee Benefit Plans and Programs.
(a) Mitigation. Executive shall not be required to mitigate amounts
payable under this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, and there
shall be no offset against amounts due Executive under this Agreement on account
of subsequent employment. Amounts owed to Executive under this Agreement shall
not be offset by any claims the Company may have against Executive and such
payment
17
<PAGE>
shall not be affected by any other circumstances, including, without limitation,
any counterclaim, recoupment, defense, or other right which the Company may have
against Executive or others.
(b) Effect on Employee Benefit Programs. The termination of
Executive's employment hereunder, whether by the Company or Executive, shall
have no effect on the rights and obligations of the parties hereto under the
Company's (i) welfare benefit plans including, without limitation, Medical
Continuation as provided for herein and, health coverage thereafter but only to
the extent required by law, and on the same basis applicable to other employees
and (ii) 401(k) Plan but only to the extent required by law and pursuant to the
terms of the 401(k) Plan.
11. Confidential Information.
(a) Executive understands and acknowledges that during his employment
with the Company, he will be exposed to Confidential Information (as defined
below), all of which is proprietary and which will rightfully belong to the
Company. Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the
Company such Confidential Information obtained by Executive during his
employment with the Company and shall not, directly or indirectly, at any time,
either during or after his employment with the Company, without the Company's
prior written consent, use any of such Confidential Information or disclose any
of such Confidential Information to any individual or entity other than the
Company or its employees, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors,
consultants, or investment bankers except as required in the performance of his
duties for the Company or as otherwise required by law. Executive
18
<PAGE>
shall take all reasonable steps to safeguard such Confidential Information and
to protect such Confidential Information against disclosure, misuse, loss or
theft.
(b) The term "Confidential Information" shall mean any information
not generally known in the relevant trade or industry or otherwise not generally
available to the public, which was obtained from the Company or its predecessors
or which was learned, discovered, developed, conceived, originated or prepared
during or as a result of the performance of any services by Executive on behalf
of the Company or its predecessors. For purposes of this Paragraph 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.
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 at
the direction 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.
13. Noncompete.
Executive agrees that:
19
<PAGE>
(a) During the Employment Period and, in the event (i) the Company
terminates Executive's employment for Cause, or (ii) Executive terminates his
employment without Good Reason, for a one (1) year period thereafter, Executive
shall not, directly or indirectly, within the continental United States, engage
in, or own, invest in, manage or control any venture or enterprise primarily
engaged in any office-service, flex, or office property development, acquisition
or management activities without regard to whether or not such activities
compete with 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 corporation or other entity engaged in such business
which is publicly traded, so long as he has no active participation in the
business of such corporation or other entity. Moreover, the foregoing
limitations shall not be deemed to restrict or otherwise limit Executive from
conducting real estate development, acquisition or management activities with
respect to the Excluded Properties, if any, provided that during the Employment
Period the performance of such activities does not prevent Executive from
devoting substantially all of his business time to the Company.
(b) If, at the time of enforcement of this Paragraph 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.
20
<PAGE>
(c) For purposes of this Paragraph 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.
14. Remedies.
The parties hereto agree that the Company would suffer irreparable harm
from a breach by Executive of any of the covenants or agreements contained in
Paragraphs 11, 12 or 13 of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event of the
actual or threatened breach by Executive of any of the provisions of Paragraphs
11, 12 or 13 of this Agreement, the Company may, in addition and supplementary
to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, apply to any court of law or
equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or
other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violation of the provisions
thereof.
15. Indemnification/Legal Fees.
(a) Indemnification. In the event the Executive is made party or
threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (a "Proceeding"), by reason of
Executive's employment with or serving as an officer or director of the Company,
whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an official
capacity, the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Executive to the
fullest extent authorized by Maryland law, as the same exists and may hereafter
be amended, against any and all claims,
21
<PAGE>
demands, suits, judgments, assessments and settlements including all expenses
incurred or suffered by Executive in connection therewith (including, without
limitation, all legal fees incurred using counsel reasonably acceptable to
Executive) and such indemnification shall continue as to Executive even after
Executive is no longer employed by the Company and shall inure to the benefit of
his heirs, executors, and administrators. Expenses incurred by Executive in
connection with any Proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance upon
request of Executive that the Company pay such expenses; but, only in the event
that Executive shall have delivered in writing to the Company an undertaking to
reimburse the Company for expenses with respect to which Executive is not
entitled to indemnification. The provisions of this Paragraph shall remain in
effect after this Agreement is terminated irrespective of the reasons for
termination. The indemnification provisions of this Paragraph shall not
supersede or reduce any indemnification provided to Executive under any separate
agreement, or the by-laws of the Company since it is intended that this
Agreement shall expand and extend the Executive's rights to receive indemnity.
(b) 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).
22
<PAGE>
16. Successors and Assigns.
(a) The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by agreement in
form and substance satisfactory to Executive, to expressly assume and agree to
perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the
Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.
Failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of an
such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle Executive
to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as he
would be entitled to hereunder if Executive terminated his employment hereunder
within six (6) months of a Change in Control as set forth in Paragraph 9, except
that for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such
succession becomes effective shall be deemed the date of termination. In the
event of such a breach of this Agreement, the Notice of Termination shall
specify such date as the date of termination. As used in this Agreement,
"Company" shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to
all or substantially all of its business and/or its assets as aforesaid which
executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this Paragraph 16 or which
otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by
operation of law. Any cash payments owed to Executive pursuant to this
Paragraph 16 shall be paid to Executive in a single sum without discount for
early payment immediately prior to the consummation of the transaction with such
successor.
23
<PAGE>
(b) This Agreement and all rights of Executive hereunder may be
transferred only by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Upon
Executive's death, this Agreement and all rights of Executive hereunder shall
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive's beneficiary or
beneficiaries, personal or legal representatives, or estate, to the extent any
such person succeeds to Executive's interests under this Agreement. Executive
shall be entitled to select and change a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive
any benefit or compensation payable hereunder following Executive's death by
giving Company written notice thereof. If Executive should die following the
date of termination while any amounts would still be payable to him hereunder if
he had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein,
shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to such person or
persons so appointed in writing by Executive, including, without limitation,
under any applicable plan, or otherwise to his legal representatives or estate.
17. 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.
18. 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
24
<PAGE>
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.
The respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall
survive the Executive's termination of employment and termination of this
Agreement to the extent necessary for the intended preservation of such rights
and obligations.
19. Notices.
All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be
made in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by hand
or delivered by a recognized delivery service or mailed, postage prepaid, by
express, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and addressed
to the Company at the address set forth above or Executive at his address as set
forth in the Company records (or to such other address as shall have been
previously provided in accordance with this Paragraph 19).
20. Governing Law.
25
<PAGE>
This agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New Jersey except as to Paragraph 15(a), without regard to
principles of conflicts of laws thereunder.
21. Severability.
Whenever possible, each provision and term of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision or term of this Agreement shall be held to be prohibited by
or invalid under such applicable law, then, subject to the provisions of
sub-paragraph 13(b) above, such provision or term shall be ineffective only to
the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or affecting
in any manner whatsoever the remainder of such provisions or term or the
remaining provisions or terms of this Agreement.
22. Legal Representation.
Each of the Company and Executive have been represented by counsel with
respect to this Agreement.
23. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which is
deemed to be an original and both of which taken together shall constitute one
and the same agreement.
24. Headings.
26
<PAGE>
The headings of the Paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for
convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof and shall
not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.
25. Entire Agreement.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other prior agreements and
undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof.

THOMAS A. RIZK
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This Employment Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into as of
December , 1997, by and between Thomas A. Rizk, an individual residing in
the State of New Jersey ("Executive"), and Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, a
Maryland corporation with offices at 11 Commerce Drive, Cranford, New Jersey
07016 (the "Company").
RECITALS
Whereas, Executive held the positions of Chief Executive Officer and
President of the Company and served as a member of the Board of Directors of
the Company (the "Board") pursuant to his prior employment agreement dated as
of January 21, 1997 (the "Prior Agreement") and prior thereto and, through
such service, has acquired special and unique knowledge, abilities and
expertise;
Whereas, in connection with the combination of Cali Realty Corporation
with the Mack Companies (the "Mack Combination") the Prior Agreement is
canceled effective as of the closing of the Mack Combination; and
Whereas, the Company desires to continue to employ Executive as Chief
Executive Officer and to have Executive serve as a member of the Board, and
Executive desires to continue to be employed by the Company as Chief
Executive Officer and serve as a member of the Board pursuant to the terms of
the Agreement.
Now, Therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:
<PAGE>
1. Employment.
The Company hereby agrees to employ Executive, and Executive hereby
agrees to accept such employment during the period and upon the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.
2. Employment Period.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement to the contrary,
the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be and remain in effect
during the period of employment (the "Employment Period") established under
this Paragraph 2. The initial Employment Period shall be for a term
commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending on the fifth anniversary
of the date of this Agreement provided, however, that commencing on the day
after the date of this Agreement and on each day thereafter, the Employment
Period shall be extended for one additional day so that a constant five (5)
year Employment Period shall be in effect, unless (i) the Company or
Executive elects not to extend the term of this Agreement by giving written
notice to the other party in accordance with Paragraph 19, in which case,
subject to the provisions of sub-paragraph 5(a)(iv) below, the term of this
Agreement shall become fixed and shall end on the fifth anniversary of the
date of such written notice ("Notice of Non-Renewal"), or (ii) Executive's
employment terminates hereunder.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary: (i)
Executive's employment with the Company may be terminated by the Company or
Executive during the Employment Period, subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement; and (ii) nothing in this Agreement shall mandate or
prohibit a continuation
2
<PAGE>
of Executive's employment following the expiration of the Employment Period
upon such terms and conditions as the Board and Executive may mutually agree.
(c) If Executive's employment with the Company is terminated, for
purposes of this Agreement the term "Unexpired Employment Period" shall mean
the period commencing on the date of such termination and ending on the last
day of the Employment Period.
3. Services / Place of Employment.
(a) Services. During the Employment Period, Executive shall hold
the position of Chief Executive Officer of the Company and shall serve as a
member of the Board. Executive shall devote his best efforts and
substantially all of his business time, skill and attention to the business
of the Company (other than absences due to vacation, illness, disability or
approved leave of absence), and shall perform such duties as are customarily
performed by similar executive officers and as may be more specifically
enumerated from time to time by the Board or Executive Committee of the
Board; provided, however, that the foregoing is not intended to (a) preclude
Executive from (i) owning and managing personal investments, including real
estate investments, subject to the restrictions set forth in Paragraph 13
hereof or (ii) engaging in charitable activities and community affairs, or
(b) restrict or otherwise limit Executive from conducting real estate
development, acquisition or management activities with respect to those
properties described in Schedule A, attached hereto, (the "Excluded
Properties"), provided that the performance of the activities referred to in
clauses (a)
3
<PAGE>
and (b) does not prevent Executive from devoting substantially all of his
business time to the Company.
(b) Place of Employment. The principal place of employment of
Executive shall be at the Company's principal executive offices in Cranford,
New Jersey.
4. Compensation and Benefits.
(a) Salary. During the Employment Period, the Company shall pay
Executive a minimum annual base salary in the amount of $1,050,000 (the
"Annual Base Salary") payable in accordance with the Company's regular
payroll practices. Executive's Annual Base Salary shall be reviewed annually
in accordance with the policy of the Company from time to time and may be
subject to upward adjustment based upon, among other things, Executive's
performance, as determined in the sole discretion of the Option and Executive
Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Compensation Committee"). In no
event shall Executive's Annual Base Salary in effect at a particular time be
reduced without his prior written consent.
(b) Incentive Compensation/Bonuses. In addition, Executive shall
be eligible for incentive compensation payable each year in such amounts as
may be determined by the Compensation Committee based upon, among other
factors, growth in Funds from Operations per Common Share (as hereinafter
defined) for the year. Executive shall be entitled to receive such bonuses
and options to purchase shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of
the Company (the "Common Stock") as the Board or the Compensation Committee
as the case may be shall approve, in its
4
<PAGE>
sole discretion, including, without limitation, options and bonuses
contingent upon Executive's performance and the achievement of specified
financial and operating objectives for Funds from Operations per Common
Share. For purposes of this Agreement, "Funds from Operations per Common
Share" for any period shall mean (i) net income (loss) before minority
interest of unit holders, computed in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding gains (or losses) from debt
restructuring and sale of property, plus real estate return, depreciation and
amortization as calculated in accordance with the National Association of
Real Estate Investment Trusts definition published in March 1995, as amended
from time to time, and as applied in accordance with the accounting practices
and policies of the Company in effect from time to time on a consistent basis
to the entire Employment Period, divided by (ii) the sum of (A) the primary
weighted average number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as it appears
in the Company's financial statement for the applicable period and (B) the
primary weighted average number of outstanding common limited partnership
units ("Common OP Units") of Mack-Cali Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership (the "Partnership") of which the Company is the sole general
partner, for the applicable period. All classes of preferred stock which are
convertible into Common Stock and all classes of preferred or other units
which are convertible into Common OP Units shall be treated as if they have
been converted into Common Stock or Common OP Units and shall be included in
the denominator, irrespective of any waiting period which must elapse prior
to conversion.
(c) Taxes and Withholding. The Company shall have the right to
deduct and withhold from all compensation all social security and other
federal, state
5
<PAGE>
and local taxes and charges which currently are or which hereafter may be
required by law to be so deducted and withheld.
(d) Additional Benefits. In addition to the compensation specified
above and other benefits provided pursuant to this Paragraph 4, Executive
shall be entitled to the following benefits:
(i) participation in the Employee Stock Option Plan of Cali Realty
Corporation, the Cali Realty Corporation 401(k) Savings and
Retirement Plan (subject to statutory rules and maximum
contributions and non-discrimination requirements applicable to
401(k) plans) and such other benefit plans and programs ,
including but not limited to restricted stock, phantom stock
and/or unit awards, loan programs and any other incentive
compensation plans or programs (whether or not employee benefit
plans or programs), as maintained by the Company from time to time
and made generally available to executives of the Company with
such participation to be consistent with reasonable Company
guidelines;
(ii) participation in any health insurance, disability insurance, paid
vacation, group life insurance or other welfare benefit program
made generally available to executives of the Company; and
(iii) participation in the security plan and reimbursement for
reasonable business expenses incurred by Executive in furtherance
of the interests of the Company.
5. Termination of Employment and Change in Control.
(a) Executive's employment hereunder may be terminated during the
Employment Period under the following circumstances:
(i) Cause. The Company shall have the right to terminate Executive's
employment for Cause upon Executive's: (A) willful and continued
failure to use best efforts to substantially perform his duties
hereunder (other than any such failure resulting from Executive's
incapacity due to physical or mental illness) for a period of
thirty (30) days after written demand for substantial performance
is delivered by the Company specifically identifying the manner
in which the Company believes Executive has not substantially
6
<PAGE>
performed his duties; (B) willful misconduct and/or willful
violation of Paragraph 11 hereof, which is materially
economically injurious to the Company and the Partnership taken
as a whole; (C) the willful violation of the provisions of
Paragraph 13 hereof; or (D) conviction of, or plea of guilty to a
felony. For purposes of this sub-paragraph 5(a), no act, or
failure to act, on Executive's part shall be considered "willful"
unless done, or omitted to be done, by him (I) not in good faith
and (II) without reasonable belief that his action or omission
was in furtherance of the interests of the Company.
(ii) Death. Executive's employment hereunder shall terminate upon his
death.
(iii) Disability. The Company shall have the right to terminate
Executive's employment due to "Disability" in the event that
there is a determination by the Company, upon the advice of an
independent qualified physician, reasonably acceptable to
Executive, that Executive has become physically or mentally
incapable of performing his duties under this Agreement and such
disability has disabled Executive for a cumulative period of one
hundred eighty (180) days within a twelve (12) month period.
(iv) Good Reason. Executive shall have the right to terminate his
employment for "Good Reason": (A) upon the occurrence of any
material breach of this Agreement by the Company which shall
include but not be limited to; an assignment to Executive of
duties materially and adversely inconsistent with Executive's
status as Chief Executive Officer or a member of the Board or a
material or adverse alteration in the nature of or diminution in
Executive's duties and/or responsibilities, reporting obligations,
titles or authority; (B) upon a reduction in Executive's Annual
Base Salary or a material reduction in other benefits (except for
bonuses or similar discretionary payments) as in effect at the
time in question, a failure to pay such amounts when due or any
other failure by the Company to comply with Paragraph 4 hereof;
(C) within six (6) months following the date a Notice of
Non-Renewal is issued by the Company pursuant to Paragraph 2
hereof; (D) on or within six (6) months following a Change in
Control (as hereinafter defined) in accordance with the provisions
set forth in sub-paragraph 5(a)(vii) hereof; (E) any purported
termination of Executive's employment for Cause which is not
effected pursuant to the procedures of sub-paragraph 5(a)(i)
(and for purpose of this Agreement, in the event of such failure
to comply, no such purported termination shall be effective); (F)
upon the relocation of the Company's principal executive offices
or Executive's own office location to a location
7
<PAGE>
more than thirty (30) miles away from Cranford, New Jersey; or (G)
failure to be appointed or reappointed as a member of the Board.
(v) Without Cause. The Company shall have the right to terminate the
Executive's employment hereunder without Cause subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.

terminate his employment hereunder without Good Reason subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(vii) Change in Control. Executive shall have the right to terminate
his employment hereunder on or within six (6) months following a
Change in Control. Such termination shall be deemed a
termination for Good Reason hereunder. For purposes of this
Agreement "Change in Control" shall mean that any of the
following events has occurred: (A) any "person" or "group" of
persons, as such terms are used in Sections 13 and 14 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
other than any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company,
becomes the "beneficial owner", as such term is used in Section
13 of the Exchange Act, (irrespective of any vesting or waiting
periods) of (I) Common Stock or any class of stock convertible
into Common Stock and/or (II) Common OP Units or preferred units
or any other class of units convertible into Common OP Units, in
an amount equal to twenty (20%) percent or more of the sum total
of the Common Stock and the Common OP Units (treating all classes
of outstanding stock, units or other securities convertible into
stock units as if they were converted into Common Stock or Common
OP Units as the case may be and then treating Common Stock and
Common OP Units as if they were a single class) issued and
outstanding immediately prior to such acquisition as if they were
a single class and disregarding any equity raise in connection
with the financing of such transaction; (B) any Common Stock is
purchased pursuant to a tender or exchange offer other than an
offer by the Company; (C) the dissolution or liquidation of the
Company or the consummation of any merger or consolidation of the
Company or any sale or other disposition of all or substantially
all of its assets, if the shareholders of the Company and
unitholders of the Partnership taken as a whole and considered as
one class immediately before such transaction own, immediately
after consummation of such transaction, equity securities and
partnership units possessing less than fifty (50%) percent of the
surviving or acquiring company and partnership taken as a whole;
or (D) a turnover, during any two (2) year period, of the
majority of
8
<PAGE>
the members of the Board, without the consent of the
remaining members of the Board as to the appointment of the new
Board members.
(b) Notice of Termination. Any termination of Executive's
employment by the Company or any such termination by Executive (other than on
account of death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to
the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of
Termination" shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific
termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in
reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for
termination of Executive's employment under the provision so indicated. In
the event of the termination of Executive's employment on account of death,
written Notice of Termination shall be deemed to have been provided on the
date of death.
6. Compensation Upon Termination of Employment By the Company for
Cause or By Executive without Good Reason.
In the event the Company terminates Executive's employment for Cause or
Executive terminates his employment without Good Reason, the Company shall
pay Executive any unpaid Annual Base Salary at the rate then in effect
accrued through and including the date of termination. In addition, in such
event, Executive shall be entitled (i) to receive any earned but unpaid
incentive compensation or bonuses and (ii) to exercise any options which have
vested and are exercisable in accordance with the terms of the applicable
option grant agreement or plan.
Except for any rights which Executive may have to unpaid salary amounts
through and including the date of termination, earned but unpaid incentive
9
<PAGE>
compensation or bonuses and vested options, the Company shall have no further
obligations hereunder following such termination. The aforesaid amounts
shall be payable in full immediately upon such termination.
7. Compensation Upon Termination of Employment Upon Death or
Disability.
In the event of termination of Executive's employment as a result of
either Executive's death or Disability, the Company shall pay to Executive,
his estate or his personal representative (i) the unpaid Annual Base Salary
at the rate then in effect through the end of the Unexpired Employment Period
(the "Annual Base Salary Payment"); (ii) a pro-rata portion, based upon the
number of days in the period beginning with the date of the termination of
Executive's employment due to death or Disability and ending with the last
day of the Unexpired Employment Period, of the cash equivalent of the average
annual amount of all other compensation based on the average of the last two
(2) calendar years immediately preceding the year in which Executive's
termination of employment occurs including, without limitation, incentive
compensation payments, bonuses and stock based compensation (e.g., stock
options, restricted stock awards, etc.) paid, granted or accreted to
Executive during such years (the "Pro-Rata Portion of Other Compensation")
and (iii) reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to date of termination
("Expense Reimbursement"). The aforesaid amounts shall be payable in cash
without discount for early payment, at the option of Executive, his estate or
his personal representative, either in full immediately upon such termination
or monthly over the Unexpired Employment Period (the "Payment
10
<PAGE>
Election"). In the event of termination of employment due to Disability,
Executive shall also receive continuation of health coverage through the end
of the Unexpired Employment Period on the same basis as health coverage is
provided by the Company for active employees and as may be amended from time
to time ("Medical Continuation").
In addition, all (A) incentive compensations payments or programs of any
nature whether stock based or otherwise that are subject to a vesting
schedule including without limitation restricted stock, phantom stock, units
and any loan forgiveness arrangements granted to Executive ("Incentive
Compensation") shall immediately vest as of the date of such termination
("Vested Incentive Compensation") and (B) options granted to Executive shall
immediately vest as of the date of such termination (the "Vested Options")
and Executive shall be entitled at the option of Executive, his estate or his
personal representative, within one (1) year of the date of such termination,
to exercise any options which have vested (including, without limitation, by
acceleration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the applicable
option grant agreement or plan) and are exercisable in accordance with the
terms of the applicable option grant agreement or plan and/or any other
methods or procedures for exercise applicable to optionees or to require the
Company (upon written notice delivered within one hundred eighty (180) days
following the date of Executive's termination) to repurchase all or any
portion of Executive's vested options to purchase shares of Common Stock at a
price equal to the difference between the Repurchase Fair Market Value (as
hereinafter defined) of the shares of Common Stock for which the options to
be repurchased are exercisable and the exercise price of such options as of
the date of Executive's termination of employment (the "Vested Option
Exercise
11
<PAGE>
Election"). In the event of a conflict between any option grant agreement or
plan and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
Except for any rights which Executive may have to all of the above
including the Annual Base Salary Payment, the Pro-Rata Portion of Other
Compensation, Vested Incentive Compensation, Vested Options, Expense
Reimbursement and in the event of a termination of employment due to
Disability, Medical Continuation, the Company shall have no further
obligations hereunder following such termination.
For purposes of this Agreement, "Repurchase Fair Market Value" shall mean
the average of the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange (or such
other exchange on which the Common Stock is primarily traded) of the Common
Stock on each of the trading days within the thirty (30) days immediately
preceding the date of termination of Executive's employment.
8. Compensation Upon Termination of Employment By the Company Without
Cause or By Executive for Good Reason.
In the event the Company terminates Executive's employment for any reason
other than Cause or Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, the
Company shall pay to Executive and Executive shall be entitled to receive the
greater of (i) ten million dollars ($10,000,000) with such amount subject
only to upwards adjustment from time to time by the Compensation Committee
(the "Fixed Amount") or (ii) the sum total of (A) the Annual Base Salary
Payment and (B) the Pro-Rata Portion of Other Compensation. The aforesaid
amount shall be payable in cash without discount
12
<PAGE>
for early payment, at the option of Executive, either in full immediately
upon such termination or monthly over the Unexpired Employment Period.
In addition, the Executive shall be entitled to receive Vested Incentive
Compensation, Vested Options exercisable pursuant to the Vested Option
Exercise Election, Medical Continuation, and Expense Reimbursement.
Executive understands that any options exercised more than ninety (90) days
following the date of his termination of employment which were granted as
incentive stock options shall automatically be converted into non-qualified
options.
Except for any rights which Executive may have to Vested Incentive
Compensation, Vested Options, Medical Continuation and Expense Reimbursement
and either the Fixed Amount or in lieu thereof to the Annual Base Salary
Payment, and the Pro-Rata Portion of Other Compensation (as defined in
Paragraph 7), the Company shall have no further obligations hereunder
following such termination. The parties both agree that the agreement to make
these payments was consideration and an inducement to obtain Executive's
consent to enter into this Agreement. The payments are not a penalty and
neither party will claim them to be a penalty. Rather, the payments
represent a fair approximation of reasonable amounts due to Executive for the
Employment Period.
9. Change in Control.
(a) Options. Any Incentive Compensation and options granted to
Executive that have not vested as of the date of a Change in Control shall
immediately vest upon the date of the Change in Control. Neither the
occurrence of a Change in Control, nor
13
<PAGE>
the vesting in any options as a result thereof shall require Executive to
exercise any options. In the event of a conflict between any Incentive
Compensation grant agreement or program or any option grant agreement or plan
and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
(b) Upon Termination. In the event Executive terminates his
employment on or following a Change in Control as set forth in sub-paragraph
5(a)(vii), the Company shall pay to Executive and Executive shall be entitled
to all the payments and rights Executive would have had if Executive had
terminated his employment with Good Reason as set forth in Paragraph 8.
The aforesaid amount shall be payable in accordance with Executive's
Payment Election.
Except for any rights which Executive may have to Vested Incentive
Compensation, Vested Options (including, without limitation, by acceleration
in accordance with sub-paragraph 9(a)), Medical Continuation, Expense
Reimbursement and the Excise Tax Gross Up set forth in subparagraph 9(d), and
either the Fixed Amount or in lieu thereof to the Annual Base Salary Payment,
and the Pro-Rata Portion of Other Compensation (as defined in Paragraph 7),
the Company shall have no further obligations hereunder following such
termination.
(c) Retention Payment. Prior to the date of a Change in Control
and subject to the approval of the Board, Executive may make an election to
receive, as a retention payment, the payments and rights set forth
sub-paragraph 9(b) above (the "Retention Payment") and remain in the employ
of the successor after the Change in Control. In the event that Executive
makes such election and the Board approves the
14
<PAGE>
same, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect except that (i)
simultaneously with the receipt of the Retention Payment, Executive shall
waive any right to receive any additional payment as a direct result of such
Change in Control, and (ii) other than with respect to the consummation of a
subsequent transaction which constitutes a Change in Control and is unrelated
to the Change in Control with respect to which the Retention Payment was
paid, termination payments otherwise due subsequently under this Agreement
for any event requiring payment of termination payments under this Agreement
which occurs within the six (6) month period immediately following the date
of the Change In Control as to which the Retention Payment was paid shall be
reduced by the Retention Payment paid to Executive on the date of the Change
in Control.
Any cash payments owed to Executive pursuant to this sub-paragraph
9(c) shall be paid to Executive in a single sum without discount for early
payment at the time of the Change in Control but prior to the consummation of
the transaction with any successor.
(d) Excise Tax Gross Up. In addition, if it is determined by an
independent accountant mutually acceptable to the Company and Executive that
as a result of any payment in the nature of compensation made by the Company
to (or for the benefit of) Executive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise,
an excise tax may be imposed on Executive pursuant to Section 4999 of the
Code (or any successor provisions), the Company shall pay Executive in cash
an amount equal to X determined under the following formula: (the "Excise Tax
Gross Up"):
15
<PAGE>
E x P
X =
-------------------------------------
1-[(FI x (1-SLI)) + SLI + E + M]
where
E = the rate at which the excise tax is assessed under Section 4999
of the Code (or any successor provisions);
P = the amount with respect to which such excise tax is assessed,
determined without regard to the Excise Tax Gross Up;
FI = the highest effective marginal rate of income tax applicable to
Executive under the Code for the taxable year in question (taking
into account any phase-out or loss of deductions, personal
exemptions or other similar adjustments);
SLI = the sum of the highest effective marginal rates of income tax
applicable to Executive under all applicable state and local laws
for the taxable year in question (taking into account any phase-
out or loss of deductions, personal exemptions and other similar
adjustments); and
M = the highest marginal rate of Medicare tax applicable to Executive
under the Code for the taxable year in question.
With respect to any payment in the nature of compensation that is made to (or
for the benefit of) Executive under the terms of this Agreement or otherwise
and on which an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor
provisions) may be assessed, the payment determined under this sub-paragraph
9(d) shall be paid to Executive at the time of the Change in Control but
prior to the consummation of the transaction with any successor. It is the
intention of the parties that the Company provide Executive with a full tax
gross-up under the provisions of this Paragraph, so that on a net after-tax
basis, the result to Executive shall be the same as if the excise tax under
Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provisions) had not been
16
<PAGE>
imposed. The Excise Tax Gross Up may be adjusted if alternative minimum tax
rules are applicable to Executive.
10. Mitigation / Effect on Employee Benefit Plans and Programs.
(a) Mitigation. Executive shall not be required to mitigate
amounts payable under this Agreement by seeking other employment or
otherwise, and there shall be no offset against amounts due Executive under
this Agreement on account of subsequent employment. Amounts owed to
Executive under this Agreement shall not be offset by any claims the Company
may have against Executive and such payment shall not be affected by any
other circumstances, including, without limitation, any counterclaim,
recoupment, defense, or other right which the Company may have against
Executive or others.
(b) Effect on Employee Benefit Programs. The termination of
Executive's employment hereunder, whether by the Company or Executive, shall
have no effect on the rights and obligations of the parties hereto under the
Company's (i) welfare benefit plans including, without limitation, Medical
Continuation as provided for herein and, health coverage thereafter but only
to the extent required by law, and on the same basis applicable to other
employees and (ii) 401(k) Plan but only to the extent required by law and
pursuant to the terms of the 401(k) Plan.
11. Confidential Information.
(a) Executive understands and acknowledges that during his
employment with the Company, he will be exposed to Confidential Information
(as
17
<PAGE>
defined below), all of which is proprietary and which will rightfully belong
to the Company. Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit
of the Company such Confidential Information obtained by Executive during his
employment with the Company and shall not, directly or indirectly, at any
time, either during or after his employment with the Company, without the
Company's prior written consent, use any of such Confidential Information or
disclose any of such Confidential Information to any individual or entity
other than the Company or its employees, attorneys, accountants, financial
advisors, consultants, or investment bankers except as required in the
performance of his duties for the Company or as otherwise required by law.
Executive shall take all reasonable steps to safeguard such Confidential
Information and to protect such Confidential Information against disclosure,
misuse, loss or theft.
(b) The term "Confidential Information" shall mean any information
not generally known in the relevant trade or industry or otherwise not
generally available to the public, which was obtained from the Company or its
predecessors or which was learned, discovered, developed, conceived,
originated or prepared during or as a result of the performance of any
services by Executive on behalf of the Company or its predecessors. For
purposes of this Paragraph 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.
12. Return of Documents.
18
<PAGE>
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 at the direction 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.
13. Noncompete.
Executive agrees that:
(a) During the Employment Period and, in the event (i) the Company
terminates Executive's employment for Cause, or (ii) Executive terminates his
employment without Good Reason, for a one (1) year period thereafter,
Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, within the continental United
States, engage in, or own, invest in, manage or control any venture or
enterprise primarily engaged in any office-service, flex, or office property
development, acquisition or management activities without regard to whether
or not such activities compete with 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 corporation or
other entity engaged in such business which is publicly traded, so long as he
has no active participation in the business of such corporation or other
entity. Moreover, the foregoing limitations shall not be deemed to restrict
or otherwise limit Executive from conducting real estate development,
acquisition or management activities with respect
19
<PAGE>
to the Excluded Properties, if any, provided that during the Employment
Period the performance of such activities does not prevent Executive from
devoting substantially all of his business time to the Company.
(b) If, at the time of enforcement of this Paragraph 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 Paragraph 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.
14. Remedies.
The parties hereto agree that the Company would suffer irreparable harm
from a breach by Executive of any of the covenants or agreements contained in
Paragraphs 11, 12 or 13 of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event of the
actual or threatened breach by Executive of any of the provisions of
Paragraphs 11, 12 or 13 of this Agreement, the Company may, in addition and
supplementary to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, apply to
any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance
and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any
violation of the provisions thereof.
20
<PAGE>
15. Indemnification/Legal Fees.
(a) Indemnification. In the event the Executive is made party or
threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a "Proceeding"), by reason
of Executive's employment with or serving as an officer or director of the
Company, whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an
official capacity, the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend
Executive to the fullest extent authorized by Maryland law, as the same
exists and may hereafter be amended, against any and all claims, demands,
suits, judgments, assessments and settlements including all expenses incurred
or suffered by Executive in connection therewith (including, without
limitation, all legal fees incurred using counsel reasonably acceptable to
Executive) and such indemnification shall continue as to Executive even after
Executive is no longer employed by the Company and shall inure to the benefit
of his heirs, executors, and administrators. Expenses incurred by Executive
in connection with any Proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance
upon request of Executive that the Company pay such expenses; but, only in
the event that Executive shall have delivered in writing to the Company an
undertaking to reimburse the Company for expenses with respect to which
Executive is not entitled to indemnification. The provisions of this
Paragraph shall remain in effect after this Agreement is terminated
irrespective of the reasons for termination. The indemnification provisions
of this Paragraph shall not supersede or reduce any indemnification provided
to Executive under any separate agreement, or the by-laws of the Company
since it is intended that this Agreement shall expand and extend the
Executive's rights to receive indemnity.
(b) 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
21
<PAGE>
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).
16. Successors and Assigns.
(a) The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by agreement
in form and substance satisfactory to Executive, to expressly assume and
agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent
that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had
taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the
effectiveness of an such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and
shall entitle Executive to compensation from the Company in the same amount
and on the same terms as he would be entitled to hereunder if Executive
terminated his employment hereunder within six (6) months of a Change in
Control as set forth in Paragraph 9, except that for purposes of implementing
the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall
be deemed the date of termination. In the event of such a breach of this
Agreement, the Notice of Termination shall specify such date as the date of
termination. As used in this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the Company as
hereinbefore defined and any successor to all or substantially all of its
business and/or its assets as aforesaid which executes and delivers the
agreement provided for in this Paragraph 16 or which otherwise becomes
22
<PAGE>
bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law.
Any cash payments owed to Executive pursuant to this Paragraph 16 shall be
paid to Executive in a single sum without discount for early payment
immediately prior to the consummation of the transaction with such successor.
(b) This Agreement and all rights of Executive hereunder may be
transferred only by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Upon
Executive's death, this Agreement and all rights of Executive hereunder shall
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive's beneficiary or
beneficiaries, personal or legal representatives, or estate, to the extent
any such person succeeds to Executive's interests under this Agreement.
Executive shall be entitled to select and change a beneficiary or
beneficiaries to receive any benefit or compensation payable hereunder
following Executive's death by giving Company written notice thereof. If
Executive should die following the date of termination while any amounts
would still be payable to him hereunder if he had continued to live, all such
amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement to such person or persons so appointed in writing
by Executive, including, without limitation, under any applicable plan, or
otherwise to his legal representatives or estate.
17. 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.
23
<PAGE>
18. 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.
The respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall
survive the Executive's termination of employment and termination of this
Agreement to the extent necessary for the intended preservation of such
rights and obligations.
19. Notices.
All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall
be made in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered
by hand or delivered by a recognized delivery service or mailed, postage
prepaid, by express, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested,
and addressed to the Company at the address set forth above or Executive at
his address as set forth in the Company
24
<PAGE>
records (or to such other address as shall have been previously provided in
accordance with this Paragraph 19).
20. Governing Law.
This agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New Jersey except as to Paragraph 15(a), without regard
to principles of conflicts of laws thereunder.
21. Severability.
Whenever possible, each provision and term of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision or term of this Agreement shall be held to be prohibited
by or invalid under such applicable law, then, subject to the provisions of
sub-paragraph 13(b) above, such provision or term shall be ineffective only
to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or
affecting in any manner whatsoever the remainder of such provisions or term
or the remaining provisions or terms of this Agreement.
22. Legal Representation.
Each of the Company and Executive have been represented by counsel with
respect to this Agreement.
23. Counterparts.
25
<PAGE>
This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which is
deemed to be an original and both of which taken together shall constitute
one and the same agreement.
24. Headings.
The headings of the Paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for
convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof and
shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.
25. Entire Agreement.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other prior
agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof. The parties recognize that the Prior
Agreement dated as of January 21, 1997 has been canceled.
26. Survival of Agreements.
The covenants made in Paragraphs 5 through 15 and 21 each shall survive
the termination of this Agreement.
In Witness Whereof, the undersigned have executed this Agreement as of
the date first above written.

such service, has acquired special and unique knowledge, abilities and
expertise;
Whereas, in connection with the combination of Cali Realty Corporation
with the Mack Companies (the "Mack Combination") the Prior Agreement is
canceled effective as of the closing of the Mack Combination; and
Whereas, the Company desires to employ Executive as Executive Vice
President and Secretary, and Executive desires to be employed by the Company
as Executive Vice President and Secretary, pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement.
Now, Therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

agrees to accept such employment during the period and upon the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.
2. Employment Period.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement to the contrary,
the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be and remain in effect
during the period of employment (the "Employment Period") established under
this Paragraph 2. The initial Employment Period shall be for a term
commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending on the fifth anniversary
of the date of this Agreement provided, however, that commencing on the day
after the date of this Agreement and on each day thereafter, the Employment
Period shall be extended for one additional day so that a constant five (5)
year Employment Period shall be in effect, unless (i) the Company or
Executive elects not to extend the term of this Agreement by giving written
notice to the other party in accordance with Paragraph 19, in which case,
subject to the provisions of sub-paragraph 5(a)(iv) below, the term of this
Agreement shall become fixed and shall end on the fifth anniversary of the
date of such written notice ("Notice of Non-Renewal"), or (ii) Executive's
employment terminates hereunder.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary: (i)
Executive's employment with the Company may be terminated by the Company or
Executive during the Employment Period, subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement; and (ii) nothing in this Agreement shall mandate or
prohibit a continuation
2

(c) If Executive's employment with the Company is terminated, for
purposes of this Agreement the term "Unexpired Employment Period" shall mean
the period commencing on the date of such termination and ending on the last
day of the Employment Period.
3. Services / Place of Employment.
(a) Services. During the Employment Period, Executive shall hold
the positions of Executive Vice President and Secretary of the Company.
Executive shall devote his best efforts and substantially all of his business
time, skill and attention to the business of the Company (other than absences
due to vacation, illness, disability or approved leave of absence), and shall
perform such duties as are customarily performed by similar executive
officers and as may be more specifically enumerated from time to time by the
Chief Executive Officer and President; provided, however, that the foregoing
is not intended to (a) preclude Executive from (i) owning and managing
personal investments, including real estate investments, subject to the
restrictions set forth in Paragraph 13 hereof or (ii) engaging in charitable
activities and community affairs, or (b) restrict or otherwise limit
Executive from conducting real estate development, acquisition or management
activities with respect to those properties described in Schedule A, attached
hereto, (the "Excluded Properties"), provided that
3
<PAGE>
the performance of the activities referred to in clauses (a) and (b) does not
prevent Executive from devoting substantially all of his business time to the
Company.
(b) Place of Employment. The principal place of employment of
Executive shall be at the Company's principal executive offices in Cranford,
New Jersey.
4. Compensation and Benefits.
(a) Salary. During the Employment Period, the Company shall pay
Executive a minimum annual base salary in the amount of $325,000 (the "Annual
Base Salary") payable in accordance with the Company's regular payroll
practices. Executive's Annual Base Salary shall be reviewed annually in
accordance with the policy of the Company from time to time and may be
subject to upward adjustment based upon, among other things, Executive's
performance, as determined in the sole discretion of the Chief Executive
Officer and the President. In no event shall Executive's Annual Base Salary
in effect at a particular time be reduced without his prior written consent.
(b) Incentive Compensation/Bonuses. In addition, Executive shall
be eligible for incentive compensation payable each year in such amounts as
may be determined by the Option and Executive Compensation Committee of the
Board (the "Compensation Committee") based upon, among other factors, growth
in Funds from Operations per Common Share (as hereinafter defined) for the
year. Executive shall be entitled to receive such bonuses and options to
purchase shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company
(the "Common Stock") as the Board or the
4
<PAGE>
Compensation Committee as the case may be shall approve, in its sole
discretion, including, without limitation, options and bonuses contingent
upon Executive's performance and the achievement of specified financial and
operating objectives for Funds from Operations per Common Share. For
purposes of this Agreement, "Funds from Operations per Common Share" for any
period shall mean (i) net income (loss) before minority interest of unit
holders, computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP"), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sale of
property, plus real estate return, depreciation and amortization as
calculated in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts definition published in March 1995, as amended from time to
time, and as applied in accordance with the accounting practices and policies
of the Company in effect from time to time on a consistent basis to the
entire Employment Period, divided by (ii) the sum of (A) the primary weighted
average number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as it appears in the
Company's financial statement for the applicable period and (B) the primary
weighted average number of outstanding common limited partnership units
("Common OP Units") of Mack-Cali Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership
(the "Partnership") of which the Company is the sole general partner, for the
applicable period. All classes of preferred stock which are convertible into
Common Stock and all classes of preferred or other units which are
convertible into Common OP Units shall be treated as if they have been
converted into Common Stock or Common OP Units and shall be included in the
denominator, irrespective of any waiting period which must elapse prior to
conversion.

failure by the Company to comply with Paragraph 4 hereof; (C)
within six (6) months following the date a Notice of Non-Renewal

Change in Control. Such termination shall be deemed a termination
for Good Reason hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement "Change
in Control" shall mean that any of the following events has
occurred: (A) any "person" or "group" of persons, as such terms
are used in Sections 13 and 14 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), other than any employee
benefit plan sponsored by the Company, becomes the "beneficial
owner", as such term is used in Section 13 of the Exchange Act,
(irrespective of any vesting or waiting periods) of (I) Common
Stock or any class of stock convertible into Common Stock and/or
(II) Common OP Units or preferred units or any other class of
units convertible into Common OP Units, in an amount equal to
twenty (20%) percent or more of the sum total of the Common
Stock and the Common OP Units (treating all classes of
outstanding stock, units or other securities convertible into
stock units as if they were converted into Common Stock or Common
OP Units as the case may be and then treating Common Stock and
Common OP Units as if they were a single class) issued and
outstanding immediately prior to such acquisition as if they were
a single class and disregarding any equity raise in connection
with the financing of such transaction; (B) any Common Stock is
purchased pursuant to a tender or exchange offer other than an
offer by the Company; (C) the dissolution or liquidation of the
Company or the consummation of any merger or consolidation of the
Company or any sale or other disposition of all or substantially
all of its assets, if the shareholders of the Company and
unitholders of the Partnership taken as a whole and considered as
one class
8
<PAGE>
immediately before such transaction own, immediately after
consummation of such transaction, equity securities and
partnership units possessing less than fifty (50%) percent of the
surviving or acquiring company and partnership taken as a whole;
or (D) a turnover, during any two (2) year period, of the
majority of the members of the Board, without the consent of the
remaining members of the Board as to the appointment of the new
Board members.
(b) Notice of Termination. Any termination of Executive's employment by
the Company or any such termination by Executive (other than on account of
death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other
party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination"
shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision
in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the
facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of
Executive's employment under the provision so indicated. In the event of the
termination of Executive's employment on account of death, written Notice of
Termination shall be deemed to have been provided on the date of death.
6. Compensation Upon Termination of Employment By the Company for
Cause or By Executive without Good Reason.
In the event the Company terminates Executive's employment for Cause or
Executive terminates his employment without Good Reason, the Company shall
pay Executive any unpaid Annual Base Salary at the rate then in effect
accrued through and including the date of termination. In addition, in such
event, Executive shall be entitled (i) to receive any earned but unpaid
incentive compensation or bonuses and (ii) to exercise any options which have
vested and are exercisable in accordance with the terms of the applicable
option grant agreement or plan.
9
<PAGE>
Except for any rights which Executive may have to unpaid salary amounts
through and including the date of termination, earned but unpaid incentive
compensation or bonuses and vested options, the Company shall have no further
obligations hereunder following such termination. The aforesaid amounts
shall be payable in full immediately upon such termination.
7. Compensation Upon Termination of Employment Upon Death or Disability.
In the event of termination of Executive's employment as a result of
either Executive's death or Disability, the Company shall pay to Executive,
his estate or his personal representative (i) the unpaid Annual Base Salary
at the rate then in effect through the end of the Unexpired Employment Period
(the "Annual Base Salary Payment"); (ii) a pro-rata portion, based upon the
number of days in the period beginning with the date of the termination of
Executive's employment due to death or Disability and ending with the last
day of the Unexpired Employment Period, of the cash equivalent of the average
annual amount of all other compensation based on the average of the last two
(2) calendar years immediately preceding the year in which Executive's
termination of employment occurs including, without limitation, incentive
compensation payments, bonuses and stock based compensation (e.g., stock
options, restricted stock awards, etc.) paid, granted or accreted to
Executive during such years (the "Pro-Rata Portion of Other Compensation")
and (iii) reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to date of termination
("Expense Reimbursement"). The aforesaid amounts shall be payable in cash
without discount for early payment, at the option of Executive, his estate or
his personal representative, either in full immediately upon such
10
<PAGE>
termination or monthly over the Unexpired Employment Period (the "Payment
Election"). In the event of termination of employment due to Disability,
Executive shall also receive continuation of health coverage through the end
of the Unexpired Employment Period on the same basis as health coverage is
provided by the Company for active employees and as may be amended from time
to time ("Medical Continuation").
In addition, all (A) incentive compensation payments or programs of any
nature whether stock based or otherwise that are subject to a vesting
schedule including, without limitation, restricted stock, phantom stock,
units and any loan forgiveness arrangements granted to Executive ("Incentive
Compensation") shall immediately vest as of the date of such termination
("Vested Incentive Compensation") and (B) options granted to Executive shall
immediately vest as of the date of such termination (the "Vested Options")
and Executive shall be entitled at the option of Executive, his estate or his
personal representative, within one (1) year of the date of such termination,
to exercise any options which have vested (including, without limitation, by
acceleration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the applicable
option grant agreement or plan) and are exercisable in accordance with the
terms of the applicable option grant agreement or plan and/or any other
methods or procedures for exercise applicable to optionees or to require the
Company (upon written notice delivered within one hundred eighty (180) days
following the date of Executive's termination) to repurchase all or any
portion of Executive's vested options to purchase shares of Common Stock at a
price equal to the difference between the Repurchase Fair Market Value (as
hereinafter defined) of the shares of Common Stock for which the options to
be repurchased are
11
<PAGE>
exercisable and the exercise price of such options as of the date of
Executive's termination of employment (the "Vested Option Exercise
Election"). In the event of a conflict between any option grant agreement or
plan and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
Except for any rights which Executive may have to all of the above
including the Annual Base Salary Payment, the Pro-Rata Portion of Other
Compensation, Vested Incentive Compensation, Vested Options, Expense
Reimbursement and in the event of a termination of employment due to
Disability, Medical Continuation, the Company shall have no further
obligations hereunder following such termination.
For purposes of this Agreement, "Repurchase Fair Market Value" shall mean the
average of the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange (or such other
exchange on which the Common Stock is primarily traded) of the Common Stock
on each of the trading days within the thirty (30) days immediately preceding
the date of termination of Executive's employment.
8. Compensation Upon Termination of Employment By the Company Without
Cause or By Executive for Good Reason.
In the event the Company terminates Executive's employment for any reason
other than Cause or Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, the
Company shall pay to Executive and Executive shall be entitled to receive the
greater of (i) three million two hundred thousand dollars ($3,200,000) with
such amount subject only to upwards adjustment from time to time by the
Compensation Committee (the "Fixed Amount") or (ii) the sum total of (A) the
Annual Base Salary Payment and (B) the
12
<PAGE>
Pro-Rata Portion of Other Compensation. The aforesaid amount shall be
payable in cash without discount for early payment, at the option of
Executive, either in full immediately upon such termination or monthly over
the Unexpired Employment Period.
In addition, the Executive shall be entitled to receive Vested Incentive
Compensation, Vested Options exercisable pursuant to the Vested Option
Exercise Election, Medical Continuation, and Expense Reimbursement.
Executive understands that any options exercised more than ninety (90) days
following the date of his termination of employment which were granted as
incentive stock options shall automatically be converted into non-qualified
options.
Except for any rights which Executive may have to Vested Incentive
Compensation, Vested Options, Medical Continuation and Expense Reimbursement
and either the Fixed Amount or in lieu thereof to the Annual Base Salary
Payment, and the Pro-Rata Portion of Other Compensation (as defined in
Paragraph 7), the Company shall have no further obligations hereunder
following such termination. The parties both agree that the agreement to make
these payments was consideration and an inducement to obtain Executive's
consent to enter into this Agreement. The payments are not a penalty and
neither party will claim them to be a penalty. Rather, the payments
represent a fair approximation of reasonable amounts due to Executive for the
Employment Period.
9. Change in Control.
(a) Options. Any Incentive Compensation and options granted to
Executive that have not vested as of the date of a Change in Control shall
immediately
13
<PAGE>
vest upon the date of the Change in Control. Neither the occurrence of a
Change in Control, nor the vesting in any options as a result thereof shall
require Executive to exercise any options. In the event of a conflict
between any Incentive Compensation grant agreement or program or any option
grant agreement or plan and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall
control.
(b) Upon Termination. In the event Executive terminates his employment
on or following a Change in Control as set forth in sub-paragraph 5(a)(vii),
the Company shall pay to Executive and Executive shall be entitled to all the
payments and rights Executive would have had if Executive had terminated his
employment with Good Reason as set forth in Paragraph 8.
The aforesaid amount shall be payable in accordance with Executive's
Payment Election.
Except for any rights which Executive may have to Vested Incentive
Compensation, Vested Options (including, without limitation, by acceleration
in accordance with sub-paragraph 9(a)), Medical Continuation, Expense
Reimbursement and the Excise Tax Gross Up set forth in subparagraph 9(d),
and either the Fixed Amount or in lieu thereof to the Annual Base Salary
Payment, and the Pro-Rata Portion of Other Compensation (as defined in
Paragraph 7), the Company shall have no further obligations hereunder
following such termination.
(c) Retention Payment. Prior to the date of a Change in Control
and subject to the approval of the Board, Executive may make an election to
receive, as a retention payment, the payments and rights set forth
sub-paragraph 9(b) above (the "Retention Payment") and remain in the employ
of the successor after the Change in
14
<PAGE>
Control. In the event that Executive makes such election and the Board
approves the same, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect
except that (i) simultaneously with the receipt of the Retention Payment,
Executive shall waive any right to receive any additional payment as a direct
result of such Change in Control, and (ii) other than with respect to the
consummation of a subsequent transaction which constitutes a Change in
Control and is unrelated to the Change in Control with respect to which the
Retention Payment was paid, termination payments otherwise due subsequently
under this Agreement for any event requiring payment of termination payments
under this Agreement which occurs within the six (6) month period immediately
following the date of the Change In Control as to which the Retention Payment
was paid shall be reduced by the Retention Payment paid to Executive on the
date of the Change in Control.
Any cash payments owed to Executive pursuant to this sub-paragraph 9(c)
shall be paid to Executive in a single sum without discount for early payment
at the time of the Change in Control but prior to the consummation of the
transaction with any successor.
(d) Excise Tax Gross Up. In addition, if it is determined by an
independent accountant mutually acceptable to the Company and Executive that
as a result of any payment in the nature of compensation made by the Company
to (or for the benefit of) Executive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise,
an excise tax may be imposed on Executive pursuant to Section 4999 of the
Code (or any successor provisions), the Company shall pay Executive in cash
an amount equal to X determined under the following formula: (the "Excise Tax
Gross Up"):
15
<PAGE>
E x P
X =
-------------------------------------
1-[(FI x (1-SLI)) + SLI + E + M]
where
E = the rate at which the excise tax is assessed under Section 4999
of the Code (or any successor provisions);
P = the amount with respect to which such excise tax is assessed,
determined without regard to the Excise Tax Gross Up;
FI = the highest effective marginal rate of income tax applicable to
Executive under the Code for the taxable year in question (taking
into account any phase-out or loss of deductions, personal
exemptions or other similar adjustments);
SLI = the sum of the highest effective marginal rates of income tax
applicable to Executive under all applicable state and local laws
for the taxable year in question (taking into account any phase-
out or loss of deductions, personal exemptions and other similar
adjustments); and
M = the highest marginal rate of Medicare tax applicable to Executive
under the Code for the taxable year in question.
With respect to any payment in the nature of compensation that is made to (or
for the benefit of) Executive under the terms of this Agreement or otherwise
and on which an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor
provisions) may be assessed, the payment determined under this sub-paragraph
9(d) shall be paid to Executive at the time of the Change in Control but
prior to the consummation of the transaction with any successor. It is the
intention of the parties that the Company provide Executive with a full tax
gross-up under the provisions of this Paragraph, so that on a net after-tax
basis, the result to Executive shall be the same as if the excise tax under
Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provisions) had not been
16
<PAGE>
imposed. The Excise Tax Gross Up may be adjusted if alternative minimum tax
rules are applicable to Executive.
10. Mitigation / Effect on Employee Benefit Plans and Programs.
(a) Mitigation. Executive shall not be required to mitigate
amounts payable under this Agreement by seeking other employment or
otherwise, and there shall be no offset against amounts due Executive under
this Agreement on account of subsequent employment. Amounts owed to
Executive under this Agreement shall not be offset by any claims the Company
may have against Executive and such payment shall not be affected by any
other circumstances, including, without limitation, any counterclaim,
recoupment, defense, or other right which the Company may have against
Executive or others.
(b) Effect on Employee Benefit Programs. The termination of
Executive's employment hereunder, whether by the Company or Executive, shall
have no effect on the rights and obligations of the parties hereto under the
Company's (i) welfare benefit plans including, without limitation, Medical
Continuation as provided for herein and, health coverage thereafter but only
to the extent required by law, and on the same basis applicable to other
employees and (ii) 401(k) Plan but only to the extent required by law and
pursuant to the terms of the 401(k) Plan.
11. Confidential Information.
(a) Executive understands and acknowledges that during his
employment with the Company, he will be exposed to Confidential Information
(as
17
<PAGE>
defined below), all of which is proprietary and which will rightfully belong
to the Company. Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit
of the Company such Confidential Information obtained by Executive during his
employment with the Company and shall not, directly or indirectly, at any
time, either during or after his employment with the Company, without the
Company's prior written consent, use any of such Confidential Information or
disclose any of such Confidential Information to any individual or entity
other than the Company or its employees, attorneys, accountants, financial
advisors, consultants, or investment bankers except as required in the
performance of his duties for the Company or as otherwise required by law.
Executive shall take all reasonable steps to safeguard such Confidential
Information and to protect such Confidential Information against disclosure,
misuse, loss or theft.
(b) The term "Confidential Information" shall mean any information
not generally known in the relevant trade or industry or otherwise not
generally available to the public, which was obtained from the Company or its
predecessors or which was learned, discovered, developed, conceived,
originated or prepared during or as a result of the performance of any
services by Executive on behalf of the Company or its predecessors. For
purposes of this Paragraph 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.
12. Return of Documents.
18
<PAGE>
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 at the direction 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.
13. Noncompete.
Executive agrees that:
(a) During the Employment Period and, in the event (i) the Company
terminates Executive's employment for Cause, or (ii) Executive terminates his
employment without Good Reason, for a one (1) year period thereafter,
Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, within the continental United
States, engage in, or own, invest in, manage or control any venture or
enterprise primarily engaged in any office-service, flex, or office property
development, acquisition or management activities without regard to whether
or not such activities compete with 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 corporation or
other entity engaged in such business which is publicly traded, so long as he
has no active participation in the business of such corporation or other
entity. Moreover, the foregoing limitations shall not be deemed to restrict
or otherwise limit Executive from conducting real estate development,
acquisition or management activities with respect
19
<PAGE>
to the Excluded Properties, if any, provided that during the Employment
Period the performance of such activities does not prevent Executive from
devoting substantially all of his business time to the Company.
(b) If, at the time of enforcement of this Paragraph 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 Paragraph 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.
14. Remedies.
The parties hereto agree that the Company would suffer irreparable harm
from a breach by Executive of any of the covenants or agreements contained in
Paragraphs 11, 12 or 13 of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event of the
actual or threatened breach by Executive of any of the provisions of
Paragraphs 11, 12 or 13 of this Agreement, the Company may, in addition and
supplementary to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, apply to
any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance
and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any
violation of the provisions thereof.
20
<PAGE>
15. Indemnification/Legal Fees.
(a) Indemnification. In the event the Executive is made party or
threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a "Proceeding"), by reason
of Executive's employment with or serving as an officer or director of the
Company, whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an
official capacity, the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend
Executive to the fullest extent authorized by Maryland law, as the same
exists and may hereafter be amended, against any and all claims, demands,
suits, judgments, assessments and settlements including all expenses incurred
or suffered by Executive in connection therewith (including, without
limitation, all legal fees incurred using counsel reasonably acceptable to
Executive) and such indemnification shall continue as to Executive even after
Executive is no longer employed by the Company and shall inure to the benefit
of his heirs, executors, and administrators. Expenses incurred by Executive
in connection with any Proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance
upon request of Executive that the Company pay such expenses; but, only in
the event that Executive shall have delivered in writing to the Company an
undertaking to reimburse the Company for expenses with respect to which
Executive is not entitled to indemnification. The provisions of this
Paragraph shall remain in effect after this Agreement is terminated
irrespective of the reasons for termination. The indemnification provisions
of this Paragraph shall not supersede or reduce any indemnification provided
to Executive under any separate agreement, or the
21
<PAGE>
by-laws of the Company since it is intended that this Agreement shall expand
and extend the Executive's rights to receive indemnity.
(b) 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).
16. Successors and Assigns.
(a) The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by agreement
in form and substance satisfactory to Executive, to expressly assume and
agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent
that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had
taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the
effectiveness of an such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and
shall entitle Executive to compensation from the Company in the same amount
and on the same terms as he would be entitled to hereunder if Executive
terminated his employment hereunder within six (6) months of a Change in
Control as set forth in Paragraph 9, except that for purposes of implementing
the foregoing, the
22
<PAGE>
date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the date
of termination. In the event of such a breach of this Agreement, the Notice
of Termination shall specify such date as the date of termination. As used
in this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined
and any successor to all or substantially all of its business and/or its
assets as aforesaid which executes and delivers the agreement provided for in
this Paragraph 16 or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and
provisions of this Agreement by operation of law. Any cash payments owed to
Executive pursuant to this Paragraph 16 shall be paid to Executive in a
single sum without discount for early payment immediately prior to the
consummation of the transaction with such successor.
(b) This Agreement and all rights of Executive hereunder may be
transferred only by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Upon
Executive's death, this Agreement and all rights of Executive hereunder shall
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive's beneficiary or
beneficiaries, personal or legal representatives, or estate, to the extent
any such person succeeds to Executive's interests under this Agreement.
Executive shall be entitled to select and change a beneficiary or
beneficiaries to receive any benefit or compensation payable hereunder
following Executive's death by giving Company written notice thereof. If
Executive should die following the date of termination while any amounts
would still be payable to him hereunder if he had continued to live, all such
amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement to such person or persons so appointed in writing
by Executive, including, without limitation, under any applicable plan, or
otherwise to his legal representatives or estate.
23
<PAGE>
17. 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.
18. 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.
The respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall
survive the Executive's termination of employment and termination of this
Agreement to the extent necessary for the intended preservation of such
rights and obligations.
24
<PAGE>
19. Notices.
All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be
made in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by
hand or delivered by a recognized delivery service or mailed, postage
prepaid, by express, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested,
and addressed to the Company or Executive, as applicable, at the address set
forth above (or to such other address as shall have been previously provided
in accordance with this Paragraph 19).
20. Governing Law.
This agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New Jersey except as to Paragraph 15(a), without regard
to principles of conflicts of laws thereunder.
21. Severability.
Whenever possible, each provision and term of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision or term of this Agreement shall be held to be prohibited
by or invalid under such applicable law, then, subject to the provisions of
sub-paragraph 13(b) above, such provision or term shall be ineffective only
to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or
affecting in any manner whatsoever the remainder of such provisions or term
or the remaining provisions or terms of this Agreement.
25
<PAGE>
22. Legal Representation.
Each of the Company and Executive have been represented by counsel with
respect to this Agreement.
23. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which is
deemed to be an original and both of which taken together shall constitute

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is entered into as of December
, 1997, by and between John R. Cali, an individual residing at 203 Laurel
Hill Road, Mountain Lakes, New Jersey 07046 ("Executive"), and Mack-Cali Realty
Corporation, a Maryland corporation with offices at 11 Commerce Drive, Cranford,
New Jersey 07016 (the "Company").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Executive held the position of Chief Administrative Officer of the
Company pursuant to his prior employment agreement dated as of January 21, 1997
(the "Prior Agreement") and prior thereto and, through such service, has
acquired special and unique knowledge, abilities and expertise;
WHEREAS, in connection with the combination of Cali Realty Corporation with
the Mack Companies (the "Mack Combination") the Prior Agreement is canceled
effective as of the closing of the Mack Combination; and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Executive as Executive Vice
President, and Executive desires to be employed by the Company as Executive Vice
President, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:
<PAGE>
1. Employment.
The Company hereby agrees to employ Executive, and Executive hereby agrees
to accept such employment during the period and upon the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement.
2. Employment Period.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement to the contrary,
the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be and remain in effect during
the period of employment (the "Employment Period") established under this
Paragraph 2. The initial Employment Period shall be for a term commencing on
the date of this Agreement and ending on the fifth anniversary of the date of
this Agreement provided, however, that commencing on the day after the date of
this Agreement and on each day thereafter, the Employment Period shall be
extended for one additional day so that a constant five (5) year Employment
Period shall be in effect, unless (i) the Company or Executive elects not to
extend the term of this Agreement by giving written notice to the other party in
accordance with Paragraph 19, in which case, subject to the provisions of
sub-paragraph 5(a)(iv) below, the term of this Agreement shall become fixed and
shall end on the fifth anniversary of the date of such written notice ("Notice
of Non-Renewal"), or (ii) Executive's employment terminates hereunder.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary: (i)
Executive's employment with the Company may be terminated by the Company or
Executive during the Employment Period, subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement; and (ii) nothing in this Agreement shall mandate or prohibit a
continuation
2
<PAGE>
of Executive's employment following the expiration of the Employment Period upon
such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board")
and Executive may mutually agree.
(c) If Executive's employment with the Company is terminated, for
purposes of this Agreement the term "Unexpired Employment Period" shall mean the
period commencing on the date of such termination and ending on the last day of
the Employment Period.
3. Services / Place of Employment.
(a) SERVICES. During the Employment Period, Executive shall hold the
position of Executive Vice President of the Company. Executive shall devote his
best efforts and substantially all of his business time, skill and attention to
the business of the Company (other than absences due to vacation, illness,
disability or approved leave of absence), and shall perform such duties as are
customarily performed by similar executive officers and as may be more
specifically enumerated from time to time by the Chief Executive Officer and
President; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the foregoing is not intended to (a) preclude
Executive from (i) owning and managing personal investments, including real
estate investments, subject to the restrictions set forth in Paragraph 13 hereof
or (ii) engaging in charitable activities and community affairs, or (b) restrict
or otherwise limit Executive from conducting real estate development,
acquisition or management activities with respect to those properties described
in Schedule A, attached hereto, (the "Excluded Properties"), provided that the
performance of the
3
<PAGE>
activities referred to in clauses (a) and (b) does not prevent Executive from
devoting substantially all of his business time to the Company.
(b) PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT. The principal place of employment of Executive
shall be at the Company's principal executive offices in Cranford, New Jersey.
4. Compensation and Benefits.
(a) SALARY. During the Employment Period, the Company shall pay
Executive a minimum annual base salary in the amount of $325,000 (the "Annual
Base Salary") payable in accordance with the Company's regular payroll
practices. Executive's Annual Base Salary shall be reviewed annually in
accordance with the policy of the Company from time to time and may be subject
to upward adjustment based upon, among other things, Executive's performance, as
determined in the sole discretion of the Chief Executive Officer and the
President. In no event shall Executive's Annual Base Salary in effect at a
particular time be reduced without his prior written consent.
(b) INCENTIVE COMPENSATION/BONUSES. In addition, Executive shall be
eligible for incentive compensation payable each year in such amounts as may be
determined by the Option and Executive Compensation Committee of the Board (the
"Compensation Committee") based upon, among other factors, growth in Funds from
Operations per Common Share (as hereinafter defined) for the year. Executive
shall be entitled to receive such bonuses and options to purchase shares of
common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock") as
the Board or the
4
<PAGE>
Compensation Committee as the case may be shall approve, in its sole discretion,
including, without limitation, options and bonuses contingent upon Executive's
performance and the achievement of specified financial and operating objectives
for Funds from Operations per Common Share. For purposes of this Agreement,
"Funds from Operations per Common Share" for any period shall mean (i) net
income (loss) before minority interest of unit holders, computed in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding gains (or
losses) from debt restructuring and sale of property, plus real estate return,
depreciation and amortization as calculated in accordance with the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts definition published in March 1995,
as amended from time to time, and as applied in accordance with the accounting
practices and policies of the Company in effect from time to time on a
consistent basis to the entire Employment Period, divided by (ii) the sum of (A)
the primary weighted average number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as it
appears in the Company's financial statement for the applicable period and (B)
the primary weighted average number of outstanding common limited partnership
units ("Common OP Units") of Mack-Cali Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership (the "Partnership") of which the Company is the sole general
partner, for the applicable period. All classes of preferred stock which are
convertible into Common Stock and all classes of preferred or other units which
are convertible into Common OP Units shall be treated as if they have been
converted into Common Stock or Common OP Units and shall be included in the
denominator, irrespective of any waiting period which must elapse prior to
conversion.
5
<PAGE>
(c) TAXES AND WITHHOLDING. The Company shall have the right to
deduct and withhold from all compensation all social security and other federal,
state and local taxes and charges which currently are or which hereafter may be
required by law to be so deducted and withheld.
(d) ADDITIONAL BENEFITS. In addition to the compensation specified
above and other benefits provided pursuant to this Paragraph 4, Executive shall
be entitled to the following benefits:
(i) participation in the Employee Stock Option Plan of Cali Realty
Corporation, the Cali Realty Corporation 401(k) Savings and
Retirement Plan (subject to statutory rules and maximum
contributions and non-discrimination requirements applicable to
401(k) plans) and such other benefit plans and programs ,
including but not limited to restricted stock, phantom stock
and/or unit awards, loan programs and any other incentive
compensation plans or programs (whether or not employee benefit
plans or programs), as maintained by the Company from time to
time and made generally available to executives of the Company
with such participation to be consistent with reasonable Company
guidelines;
(ii) participation in any health insurance, disability insurance, paid
vacation, group life insurance or other welfare benefit program
made generally available to executives of the Company; and
(iii) reimbursement for reasonable business expenses incurred by
Executive in furtherance of the interests of the Company
including a monthly allowance of twelve hundred ($1,200) which is
intended to cover the cost of local business-related travel
expenses exclusive of amounts paid to third-parties (E.G. taxi
service).
5. Termination of Employment and Change in Control.
(a) Executive's employment hereunder may be terminated during the
Employment Period under the following circumstances:
(i) CAUSE. The Company shall have the right to terminate Executive's
employment for Cause upon Executive's: (A) willful and continued

failure to use best efforts to substantially perform his duties

is delivered by the Company specifically identifying the manner
in which the Company believes Executive has not substantially
performed his duties; (B) willful misconduct and/or willful
violation of Paragraph 11 hereof, which is materially
economically injurious to the Company and the Partnership taken

Paragraph 13 hereof; or (D) conviction of, or plea of guilty to a

was in furtherance of the interests of the Company.

death.

disability has disabled Executive for a cumulative period of one
hundred eighty (180) days within a twelve (12) month period.
(iv) GOOD REASON. Executive shall have the right to terminate his
employment for "Good Reason": (A) upon the occurrence of any

failure by the Company to comply with Paragraph 4 hereof; (C)
within six (6) months following the date a Notice of Non-Renewal

comply, no such purported termination shall be effective); or (F)
upon the relocation of the Company's principal executive offices
or Executive's own office location to a location more than thirty

following events has occurred: (A) any "person" or "group" of
persons, as such terms are used in Sections 13 and 14 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
other than any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company,
becomes the "beneficial owner", as such term is used in Section
13 of the Exchange Act, (irrespective of any vesting or waiting
periods) of (I) Common Stock or any class of stock convertible
into Common Stock and/or (II) Common OP Units or preferred units
or any other class of units convertible into Common OP Units, in
an amount equal to twenty (20%) percent or more of the sum total
of the Common Stock and the Common OP Units (treating all classes
of outstanding stock, units or other securities convertible into
stock units as if they were converted into Common Stock or Common
OP Units as the case may be and then treating Common Stock and
Common OP Units as if they were a single class) issued and
outstanding immediately prior to such acquisition as if they were
a single class and disregarding any equity raise in connection
with the financing of such transaction; (B) any Common Stock is
purchased pursuant to a tender or exchange offer other than an
offer by the Company; (C) the dissolution or liquidation of the
Company or the consummation of any merger or consolidation of the
Company or any sale or other disposition of all or substantially

unitholders of the Partnership taken as a whole and considered as
one class
8
<PAGE>
immediately before such transaction own, immediately after
consummation of such transaction, equity securities and
partnership units possessing less than fifty (50%) percent of the
surviving or acquiring company and partnership taken as a whole;
or (D) a turnover, during any two (2) year period, of the
majority of the members of the Board, without the consent of the
remaining members of the Board as to the appointment of the new
Board members.
(b) NOTICE OF TERMINATION. Any termination of Executive's employment
by the Company or any such termination by Executive (other than on account of
death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party
hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a
notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement
relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances
claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive's employment under the
provision so indicated. In the event of the termination of Executive's
employment on account of death, written Notice of Termination shall be deemed to
have been provided on the date of death.
6. Compensation Upon Termination of Employment By the Company for Cause
or By Executive without Good Reason.
In the event the Company terminates Executive's employment for Cause or
Executive terminates his employment without Good Reason, the Company shall pay
Executive any unpaid Annual Base Salary at the rate then in effect accrued
through and including the date of termination. In addition, in such event,
Executive shall be entitled (i) to receive any earned but unpaid incentive
compensation or bonuses and (ii) to exercise any options which have vested and
are exercisable in accordance with the terms of the applicable option grant
agreement or plan.
9
<PAGE>
Except for any rights which Executive may have to unpaid salary amounts through
and including the date of termination, earned but unpaid incentive compensation
or bonuses and vested options, the Company shall have no further obligations
hereunder following such termination. The aforesaid amounts shall be payable in
full immediately upon such termination.
7. Compensation Upon Termination of Employment Upon Death or Disability.
In the event of termination of Executive's employment as a result of either
Executive's death or Disability, the Company shall pay to Executive, his estate
or his personal representative (i) the unpaid Annual Base Salary at the rate
then in effect through the end of the Unexpired Employment Period (the "Annual
Base Salary Payment"); (ii) a pro-rata portion, based upon the number of days in
the period beginning with the date of the termination of Executive's employment
due to death or Disability and ending with the last day of the Unexpired
Employment Period, of the cash equivalent of the average annual amount of all
other compensation based on the average of the last two (2) calendar years
immediately preceding the year in which Executive's termination of employment
occurs including, without limitation, incentive compensation payments, bonuses
and stock based compensation (E.G., stock options, restricted stock awards,
etc.) paid, granted or accreted to Executive during such years (the "Pro-Rata
Portion of Other Compensation") and (iii) reimbursement of expenses incurred
prior to date of termination ("Expense Reimbursement"). The aforesaid amounts
shall be payable in cash without discount for early payment, at the option of
Executive, his estate or his personal representative, either in full immediately
upon such
10
<PAGE>
termination or monthly over the Unexpired Employment Period (the "Payment
Election"). In the event of termination of employment due to Disability,
Executive shall also receive continuation of health coverage through the end of
the Unexpired Employment Period on the same basis as health coverage is provided
by the Company for active employees and as may be amended from time to time
("Medical Continuation").
In addition, all (A) incentive compensation payments or programs of any
nature whether stock based or otherwise that are subject to a vesting schedule
including, without limitation, restricted stock, phantom stock, units and any
loan forgiveness arrangements granted to Executive ("Incentive Compensation")
shall immediately vest as of the date of such termination ("Vested Incentive
Compensation") and (B) options granted to Executive shall immediately vest as of
the date of such termination (the "Vested Options") and Executive shall be
entitled at the option of Executive, his estate or his personal representative,
within one (1) year of the date of such termination, to exercise any options
which have vested (including, without limitation, by acceleration in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, the applicable option grant agreement or plan)
and are exercisable in accordance with the terms of the applicable option grant
agreement or plan and/or any other methods or procedures for exercise applicable
to optionees or to require the Company (upon written notice delivered within one
hundred eighty (180) days following the date of Executive's termination) to
repurchase all or any portion of Executive's vested options to purchase shares
of Common Stock at a price equal to the difference between the Repurchase Fair
Market Value (as hereinafter defined) of the shares of Common Stock for which
the options to be repurchased
11
<PAGE>
are exercisable and the exercise price of such options as of the date of
Executive's termination of employment (the "Vested Option Exercise Election").
In the event of a conflict between any option grant agreement or plan and this
Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
Except for any rights which Executive may have to all of the above
including the Annual Base Salary Payment, the Pro-Rata Portion of Other
Compensation, Vested Incentive Compensation, Vested Options, Expense
Reimbursement and in the event of a termination of employment due to Disability,
Medical Continuation, the Company shall have no further obligations hereunder
following such termination.
For purposes of this Agreement, "Repurchase Fair Market Value" shall mean the
average of the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange (or such other
exchange on which the Common Stock is primarily traded) of the Common Stock on
each of the trading days within the thirty (30) days immediately preceding the
date of termination of Executive's employment.
8. Compensation Upon Termination of Employment By the Company Without
Cause or By Executive for Good Reason.
In the event the Company terminates Executive's employment for any reason
other than Cause or Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, the
Company shall pay to Executive and Executive shall be entitled to receive the
greater of (i) three million two hundred thousand dollars ($3,200,000) with such
amount subject only to upwards adjustment from time to time by the Compensation
Committee (the "Fixed Amount") or (ii) the sum total of (A) the Annual Base
Salary Payment and (B) the
12
<PAGE>
Pro-Rata Portion of Other Compensation. The aforesaid amount shall be payable
in cash without discount for early payment, at the option of Executive, either
in full immediately upon such termination or monthly over the Unexpired
Employment Period.
In addition, the Executive shall be entitled to receive Vested Incentive
Compensation, Vested Options exercisable pursuant to the Vested Option Exercise
Election, Medical Continuation, and Expense Reimbursement. Executive
understands that any options exercised more than ninety (90) days following the
date of his termination of employment which were granted as incentive stock
options shall automatically be converted into non-qualified options.
Except for any rights which Executive may have to Vested Incentive
Compensation, Vested Options, Medical Continuation and Expense Reimbursement and
either the Fixed Amount or in lieu thereof to the Annual Base Salary Payment,
and the Pro-Rata Portion of Other Compensation (as defined in Paragraph 7), the
Company shall have no further obligations hereunder following such termination.
The parties both agree that the agreement to make these payments was
consideration and an inducement to obtain Executive's consent to enter into this
Agreement. The payments are not a penalty and neither party will claim them to
be a penalty. Rather, the payments represent a fair approximation of reasonable
amounts due to Executive for the Employment Period.
9. Change in Control.
(a) OPTIONS. Any Incentive Compensation and options granted to
Executive that have not vested as of the date of a Change in Control shall
immediately
13
<PAGE>
vest upon the date of the Change in Control. Neither the occurrence of a Change
in Control, nor the vesting in any options as a result thereof shall require
Executive to exercise any options. In the event of a conflict between any
Incentive Compensation grant agreement or program or any option grant agreement
or plan and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
(b) UPON TERMINATION. In the event Executive terminates his
employment on or following a Change in Control as set forth in sub-paragraph
5(a)(vii), the Company shall pay to Executive and Executive shall be entitled to
all the payments and rights Executive would have had if Executive had terminated
his employment with Good Reason as set forth in Paragraph 8.
The aforesaid amount shall be payable in accordance with Executive's
Payment Election.
Except for any rights which Executive may have to Vested Incentive
Compensation, Vested Options (including, without limitation, by acceleration in
accordance with sub-paragraph 9(a)), Medical Continuation, Expense Reimbursement
and the Excise Tax Gross Up set forth in subparagraph 9(d), and either the
Fixed Amount or in lieu thereof to the Annual Base Salary Payment, and the
Pro-Rata Portion of Other Compensation (as defined in Paragraph 7), the Company
shall have no further obligations hereunder following such termination.
(c) RETENTION PAYMENT. Prior to the date of a Change in Control and
subject to the approval of the Board, Executive may make an election to receive,
as a retention payment, the payments and rights set forth sub-paragraph 9(b)
above (the "Retention Payment") and remain in the employ of the successor after
the Change in
14
<PAGE>
Control. In the event that Executive makes such election and the Board approves
the same, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect except that (i)
simultaneously with the receipt of the Retention Payment, Executive shall waive
any right to receive any additional payment as a direct result of such Change in
Control, and (ii) other than with respect to the consummation of a subsequent
transaction which constitutes a Change in Control and is unrelated to the Change
in Control with respect to which the Retention Payment was paid, termination
payments otherwise due subsequently under this Agreement for any event requiring
payment of termination payments under this Agreement which occurs within the six
(6) month period immediately following the date of the Change In Control as to
which the Retention Payment was paid shall be reduced by the Retention Payment
paid to Executive on the date of the Change in Control.
Any cash payments owed to Executive pursuant to this sub-paragraph
9(c) shall be paid to Executive in a single sum without discount for early
payment at the time of the Change in Control but prior to the consummation of
the transaction with any successor.
(d) EXCISE TAX GROSS UP. In addition, if it is determined by an
independent accountant mutually acceptable to the Company and Executive that as
a result of any payment in the nature of compensation made by the Company to (or
for the benefit of) Executive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, an excise
tax may be imposed on Executive pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code (or any
successor provisions), the Company shall pay Executive in cash an amount equal
to X determined under the following formula: (the "Excise Tax Gross Up"):
15
<PAGE>
E x P
X =____________________________________
1-[(FI x (1-SLI)) + SLI + E + M]
where
E = the rate at which the excise tax is assessed under Section 4999 of the
Code (or any successor provisions);
P = the amount with respect to which such excise tax is assessed,
determined without regard to the Excise Tax Gross Up;
FI = the highest effective marginal rate of income tax applicable to
Executive under the Code for the taxable year in question (taking into
account any phase-out or loss of deductions, personal exemptions or
other similar adjustments);
SLI = the sum of the highest effective marginal rates of income tax
applicable to Executive under all applicable state and local laws for
the taxable year in question (taking into account any phase-out or
loss of deductions, personal exemptions and other similar
adjustments); and
M = the highest marginal rate of Medicare tax applicable to Executive
under the Code for the taxable year in question.
With respect to any payment in the nature of compensation that is made to (or
for the benefit of) Executive under the terms of this Agreement or otherwise and
on which an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor
provisions) may be assessed, the payment determined under this sub-paragraph
9(d) shall be paid to Executive at the time of the Change in Control but prior
to the consummation of the transaction with any successor. It is the intention
of the parties that the Company provide Executive with a full tax gross-up under
the provisions of this Paragraph, so that on a net after-tax basis, the result
to Executive shall be the same as if the excise tax under Section 4999 of the
Code (or any successor provisions) had not been
16
<PAGE>
imposed. The Excise Tax Gross Up may be adjusted if alternative minimum tax
rules are applicable to Executive.
10. Mitigation / Effect on Employee Benefit Plans and Programs.
(a) MITIGATION. Executive shall not be required to mitigate amounts
payable under this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, and there
shall be no offset against amounts due Executive under this Agreement on account
of subsequent employment. Amounts owed to Executive under this Agreement shall
not be offset by any claims the Company may have against Executive and such
payment shall not be affected by any other circumstances, including, without
limitation, any counterclaim, recoupment, defense, or other right which the
Company may have against Executive or others.
(b) EFFECT ON EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PROGRAMS. The termination of
Executive's employment hereunder, whether by the Company or Executive, shall
have no effect on the rights and obligations of the parties hereto under the
Company's (i) welfare benefit plans including, without limitation, Medical
Continuation as provided for herein and, health coverage thereafter but only to
the extent required by law, and on the same basis applicable to other employees
and (ii) 401(k) Plan but only to the extent required by law and pursuant to the
terms of the 401(k) Plan.
11. Confidential Information.
(a) Executive understands and acknowledges that during his employment
with the Company, he will be exposed to Confidential Information (as
17
<PAGE>
defined below), all of which is proprietary and which will rightfully belong to
the Company. Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of
the Company such Confidential Information obtained by Executive during his
employment with the Company and shall not, directly or indirectly, at any time,
either during or after his employment with the Company, without the Company's
prior written consent, use any of such Confidential Information or disclose any
of such Confidential Information to any individual or entity other than the
Company or its employees, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors,
consultants, or investment bankers except as required in the performance of his
duties for the Company or as otherwise required by law. Executive shall take
all reasonable steps to safeguard such Confidential Information and to protect
such Confidential Information against disclosure, misuse, loss or theft.
(b) The term "Confidential Information" shall mean any information
not generally known in the relevant trade or industry or otherwise not generally
available to the public, which was obtained from the Company or its predecessors
or which was learned, discovered, developed, conceived, originated or prepared
during or as a result of the performance of any services by Executive on behalf
of the Company or its predecessors. For purposes of this Paragraph 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.
12. Return of Documents.
18
<PAGE>
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 at
the direction 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.
13. Noncompete.
Executive agrees that:
(a) During the Employment Period and, in the event (i) the Company
terminates Executive's employment for Cause, or (ii) Executive terminates his
employment without Good Reason, for a one (1) year period thereafter, Executive
shall not, directly or indirectly, within the continental United States, engage
in, or own, invest in, manage or control any venture or enterprise primarily
engaged in any office-service, flex, or office property development, acquisition
or management activities without regard to whether or not such activities
compete with 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 corporation or other entity engaged in such business
which is publicly traded, so long as he has no active participation in the
business of such corporation or other entity. Moreover, the foregoing
limitations shall not be deemed to restrict or otherwise limit Executive from
conducting real estate development, acquisition or management activities with
respect
19
<PAGE>
to the Excluded Properties, if any, provided that during the Employment Period
the performance of such activities does not prevent Executive from devoting
substantially all of his business time to the Company.
(b) If, at the time of enforcement of this Paragraph 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 Paragraph 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.
14. Remedies.
The parties hereto agree that the Company would suffer irreparable harm
from a breach by Executive of any of the covenants or agreements contained in
Paragraphs 11, 12 or 13 of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event of the
actual or threatened breach by Executive of any of the provisions of Paragraphs
11, 12 or 13 of this Agreement, the Company may, in addition and supplementary
to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, apply to any court of law or
equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or
other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violation of the provisions
thereof.
20
<PAGE>
15. Indemnification/Legal Fees.
(a) INDEMNIFICATION. In the event the Executive is made party or
threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (a "Proceeding"), by reason of
Executive's employment with or serving as an officer or director of the Company,
whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an official
capacity, the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Executive to the
fullest extent authorized by Maryland law, as the same exists and may hereafter
be amended, against any and all claims, demands, suits, judgments, assessments
and settlements including all expenses incurred or suffered by Executive in
connection therewith (including, without limitation, all legal fees incurred
using counsel reasonably acceptable to Executive) and such indemnification shall
continue as to Executive even after Executive is no longer employed by the
Company and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors, and
administrators. Expenses incurred by Executive in connection with any
Proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance upon request of Executive
that the Company pay such expenses; but, only in the event that Executive shall
have delivered in writing to the Company an undertaking to reimburse the Company
for expenses with respect to which Executive is not entitled to indemnification.
The provisions of this Paragraph shall remain in effect after this Agreement is
terminated irrespective of the reasons for termination. The indemnification
provisions of this Paragraph shall not supersede or reduce any indemnification
provided to Executive under any separate agreement, or the
21
<PAGE>
by-laws of the Company since it is intended that this Agreement shall expand and
extend the Executive's rights to receive indemnity.
(b) 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).
16. Successors and Assigns.
(a) The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by agreement in
form and substance satisfactory to Executive, to expressly assume and agree to
perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the
Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.
Failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of an
such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle Executive
to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as he
would be entitled to hereunder if Executive terminated his employment hereunder
within six (6) months of a Change in Control as set forth in Paragraph 9, except
that for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the
22
<PAGE>
date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the date of
termination. In the event of such a breach of this Agreement, the Notice of
Termination shall specify such date as the date of termination. As used in this
Agreement, "Company" shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any
successor to all or substantially all of its business and/or its assets as
aforesaid which executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this
Paragraph 16 or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of
this Agreement by operation of law. Any cash payments owed to Executive
pursuant to this Paragraph 16 shall be paid to Executive in a single sum without
discount for early payment immediately prior to the consummation of the
transaction with such successor.
(b) This Agreement and all rights of Executive hereunder may be
transferred only by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Upon
Executive's death, this Agreement and all rights of Executive hereunder shall
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive's beneficiary or
beneficiaries, personal or legal representatives, or estate, to the extent any
such person succeeds to Executive's interests under this Agreement. Executive
shall be entitled to select and change a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive
any benefit or compensation payable hereunder following Executive's death by
giving Company written notice thereof. If Executive should die following the
date of termination while any amounts would still be payable to him hereunder if
he had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein,
shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to such person or
persons so appointed in writing by Executive, including, without limitation,
under any applicable plan, or otherwise to his legal representatives or estate.
23
<PAGE>
17. 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.
18. 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.
The respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall
survive the Executive's termination of employment and termination of this
Agreement to the extent necessary for the intended preservation of such rights
and obligations.
24
<PAGE>
19. Notices.
All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be
made in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by hand
or delivered by a recognized delivery service or mailed, postage prepaid, by
express, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and addressed
to the Company or Executive, as applicable, at the address set forth above (or
to such other address as shall have been previously provided in accordance with
this Paragraph 19).
20. Governing Law.
This agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New Jersey except as to Paragraph 15(a), without regard to
principles of conflicts of laws thereunder.
21. Severability.
Whenever possible, each provision and term of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision or term of this Agreement shall be held to be prohibited by
or invalid under such applicable law, then, subject to the provisions of
sub-paragraph 13(b) above, such provision or term shall be ineffective only to
the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or affecting
in any manner whatsoever the remainder of such provisions or term or the
remaining provisions or terms of this Agreement.
25
<PAGE>
22. Legal Representation.
Each of the Company and Executive have been represented by counsel with
respect to this Agreement.
23. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which is
deemed to be an original and both of which taken together shall constitute one
and the same agreement.
24. Headings.
The headings of the Paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for
convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof and shall
not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.
25. Entire Agreement.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other prior agreements and
undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof. The parties recognize that the Prior Agreement dated as
of January 21, 1997 has been canceled.
26. Survival of Agreements.
The covenants made in Paragraphs 5 through 15 and 21 each shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants

the period of employment (the "Employment Period") established under this
Paragraph 2. The initial Employment Period shall be for a term commencing on
the date of this Agreement and ending on the fifth anniversary of the date of
this Agreement provided, however, that commencing on the day after the date
of this Agreement and on each day thereafter, the Employment Period shall be
extended for one additional day so that a constant five (5) year Employment
Period shall be in effect, unless (i) the Company or Executive elects not to

in accordance with Paragraph 19, in which case, subject to the provisions of
sub-paragraph 5(a)(iv) below, the term of this Agreement shall become fixed
and shall end on the fifth anniversary of the date of such written notice
("Notice of Non-Renewal"), or (ii) Executive's employment terminates

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary: (i)

upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors of the Company (the

(c) If Executive's employment with the Company is terminated, for
purposes of this Agreement the term "Unexpired Employment Period" shall mean

positions of Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Assistant
Secretary of the Company. Executive shall devote his best efforts and

performed by similar executive officers and as may be more specifically
enumerated from time to time by the Chief Executive Officer and President;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the foregoing is not intended to (a) preclude
Executive from (i) owning and managing personal investments, including real
estate investments, subject to the restrictions set forth in Paragraph 13
hereof or (ii) engaging in charitable activities and community affairs, or
(b) restrict or otherwise limit Executive from conducting real estate
development, acquisition or management activities with respect to those
properties described in Schedule A, attached hereto, (the "Excluded
Properties"), provided that the performance of the activities referred to in
clauses (a) and (b) does

<PAGE>
not prevent Executive from devoting substantially all of his business time to
the Company.
(b) PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT. The principal place of employment of Executive
shall be at the Company's principal executive offices in Cranford, New Jersey.
4. COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS.

Executive's Annual Base Salary shall be reviewed annually in accordance with
the policy of the Company from time to time and may be subject to upward
adjustment based upon, among other things, Executive's performance, as

President. In no event shall Executive's Annual Base Salary in effect at a
particular time be reduced without his prior written consent.
(b) INCENTIVE COMPENSATION/BONUSES. In addition, Executive shall be
eligible for incentive compensation payable each year in such amounts as may
be determined by the Option and Executive Compensation Committee of the Board
(the "Compensation Committee") based upon, among other factors, growth in
Funds from Operations per Common Share (as hereinafter defined) for the year.
Executive shall be entitled to receive such bonuses and options to purchase
shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the
"Common Stock") as the Board or the

discretion, including, without limitation, options and bonuses contingent

Investment Trusts definition published in March 1995, as amended from time to
time, and as applied in accordance with the accounting practices and policies
of the Company in effect from time to time on a consistent basis to the
entire Employment Period, divided by (ii) the sum of (A) the primary weighted
average number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as it appears in the
Company's financial statement for the applicable period and (B) the primary
weighted average number of outstanding common limited partnership units
("Common OP Units") of Mack-Cali Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership
(the "Partnership") of which the Company is the sole general partner, for the
applicable period. All classes of preferred stock which are convertible into
Common Stock and all classes of preferred or other units which are
convertible into Common OP Units shall be treated as if they have been
converted into Common Stock or Common OP Units and shall be included in the
denominator, irrespective of any waiting period which must elapse prior to
conversion.

and other benefits provided pursuant to this Paragraph 4, Executive shall be
entitled to the following benefits:

Corporation, the Cali Realty Corporation 401(k) Savings and Retirement

paid vacation, group life insurance or other welfare benefit program made
generally available to executives of the Company; and
(iii) reimbursement for reasonable business expenses incurred by
Executive in furtherance of the interests of the Company including a

the cost of local business-related travel expenses exclusive of amounts
paid to third-parties (e.g. taxi service).
5. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE IN CONTROL.
(a) Executive's employment hereunder may be terminated during the
Employment Period under the following circumstances:
(i) CAUSE. The Company shall have the right to terminate Executive's
employment for Cause upon Executive's: (A) willful and continued

written demand for substantial performance is delivered by the Company
specifically identifying the manner in which the Company believes
Executive has not substantially performed his duties; (B) willful
misconduct and/or willful violation of Paragraph 11 hereof, which is
materially economically injurious to the Company and the Partnership

Paragraph 13 hereof; or (D) conviction of, or plea of guilty to a felony.

Company.

death.

Agreement and such disability has disabled Executive for a cumulative
period of one hundred eighty (180) days within a twelve (12) month
period.
(iv) GOOD REASON. Executive shall have the right to terminate his
employment for "Good Reason": (A) upon the occurrence of any material

percent or more of the sum total of the Common Stock and the Common OP
Units (treating all classes of outstanding stock, units or other
securities convertible into stock units as if they were converted into
Common Stock or Common OP Units as the case may be and then treating

immediately before such transaction own, immediately after consummation
of such transaction, equity securities and partnership units possessing
less than fifty (50%) percent of the surviving or acquiring company and

party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall
mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this
Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and
circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive's
employment under the provision so indicated. In the event of the termination
of Executive's employment on account of death, written Notice of Termination
shall be deemed to have been provided on the date of death.

accrued through and including the date of termination. In addition, in such
event, Executive shall be entitled (i) to receive any earned but unpaid
incentive compensation or bonuses and (ii) to
9
<PAGE>
exercise any options which have vested and are exercisable in accordance with
the terms of the applicable option grant agreement or plan.

compensation or bonuses and vested options, the Company shall have no further
obligations hereunder following such termination. The aforesaid amounts shall
be payable in full immediately upon such termination.

his estate or his personal representative (i) the unpaid Annual Base Salary
at the rate then in effect through the end of the Unexpired Employment Period
(the "Annual Base Salary Payment"); (ii) a pro-rata portion, based upon the
number of days in the period beginning with the date of the termination of

annual amount of all other compensation based on the average of the last two
(2) calendar years immediately preceding the year in which Executive's
termination of employment occurs including, without limitation, incentive
compensation payments, bonuses and stock based compensation (e.g., stock
options, restricted stock awards, etc.) paid, granted or accreted to
Executive during such years (the "Pro-Rata Portion of Other Compensation")
and (iii) reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to date of termination
("Expense Reimbursement"). The aforesaid
10
<PAGE>
amounts shall be payable in cash without discount for early payment, at the
option of Executive, his estate or his personal representative, either in
full immediately upon such termination or monthly over the Unexpired
Employment Period (the "Payment Election"). In the event of termination of
employment due to Disability, Executive shall also receive continuation of
health coverage through the end of the Unexpired Employment Period on the
same basis as health coverage is provided by the Company for active employees
and as may be amended from time to time ("Medical Continuation").
In addition, all (A) incentive compensation payments or programs of any
nature whether stock based or otherwise that are subject to a vesting
schedule including, without limitation, restricted stock, phantom stock,
units and any loan forgiveness arrangements granted to Executive ("Incentive
Compensation") shall immediately vest as of the date of such termination
("Vested Incentive Compensation") and (B) options granted to Executive shall
immediately vest as of the date of such termination (the "Vested Options")
and Executive shall be entitled at the option of Executive, his estate or his
personal representative, within one (1) year of the date of such termination,
to exercise any options which have vested (including, without limitation, by
acceleration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the applicable
option grant agreement or plan) and are exercisable in accordance with the
terms of the applicable option grant agreement or plan and/or any other
methods or procedures for exercise applicable to optionees or to require the
Company (upon written notice delivered within one hundred eighty (180) days
following the date of Executive's termination) to repurchase all or any
portion of Executive's vested options to purchase shares of Common Stock at a
price
11
<PAGE>
equal to the difference between the Repurchase Fair Market Value (as
hereinafter defined) of the shares of Common Stock for which the options to
be repurchased are exercisable and the exercise price of such options as of
the date of Executive's termination of employment (the "Vested Option
Exercise Election"). In the event of a conflict between any option grant
agreement or plan and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall
control.
Except for any rights which Executive may have to all of the above
including the Annual Base Salary Payment, the Pro-Rata Portion of Other
Compensation, Vested Incentive Compensation, Vested Options, Expense
Reimbursement and in the event of a termination of employment due to
Disability, Medical Continuation, the Company shall have no further
obligations hereunder following such termination.
For purposes of this Agreement, "Repurchase Fair Market Value" shall mean
the average of the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange (or such
other exchange on which the Common Stock is primarily traded) of the Common
Stock on each of the trading days within the thirty (30) days immediately
preceding the date of termination of Executive's employment.
8. COMPENSATION UPON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT BY THE COMPANY WITHOUT
CAUSE OR BY EXECUTIVE FOR GOOD REASON.
In the event the Company terminates Executive's employment for any reason
other than Cause or Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, the
Company shall pay to Executive and Executive shall be entitled to receive the
greater of (i) three million dollars ($3,000,000) with such amount subject
only to upwards
12
<PAGE>
adjustment from time to time by the Compensation Committee (the "Fixed
Amount") or (ii) the sum total of (A) the Annual Base Salary Payment and (B)
the Pro-Rata Portion of Other Compensation. The aforesaid amount shall be
payable in cash without discount for early payment, at the option of
Executive, either in full immediately upon such termination or monthly over
the Unexpired Employment Period.
In addition, the Executive shall be entitled to receive Vested Incentive
Compensation, Vested Options exercisable pursuant to the Vested Option
Exercise Election, Medical Continuation, and Expense Reimbursement. Executive
understands that any options exercised more than ninety (90) days following
the date of his termination of employment which were granted as incentive
stock options shall automatically be converted into non-qualified options.
Except for any rights which Executive may have to Vested Incentive
Compensation, Vested Options, Medical Continuation and Expense Reimbursement
and either the Fixed Amount or in lieu thereof to the Annual Base Salary
Payment, and the Pro-Rata Portion of Other Compensation (as defined in
Paragraph 7), the Company shall have no further obligations hereunder
following such termination. The parties both agree that the agreement to make
these payments was consideration and an inducement to obtain Executive's
consent to enter into this Agreement. The payments are not a penalty and
neither party will claim them to be a penalty. Rather, the payments represent
a fair approximation of reasonable amounts due to Executive for the
Employment Period.
13
<PAGE>
9. CHANGE IN CONTROL.
(a) OPTIONS. Any Incentive Compensation and options granted to Executive
that have not vested as of the date of a Change in Control shall immediately
vest upon the date of the Change in Control. Neither the occurrence of a
Change in Control, nor the vesting in any options as a result thereof shall
require Executive to exercise any options. In the event of a conflict between
any Incentive Compensation grant agreement or program or any option grant
agreement or plan and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall
control.
(b) UPON TERMINATION. In the event Executive terminates his employment on
or following a Change in Control as set forth in sub-paragraph 5(a)(vii), the
Company shall pay to Executive and Executive shall be entitled to all the
payments and rights Executive would have had if Executive had terminated his
employment with Good Reason as set forth in Paragraph 8.
The aforesaid amount shall be payable in accordance with Executive's
Payment Election.
Except for any rights which Executive may have to Vested Incentive
Compensation, Vested Options (including, without limitation, by acceleration
in accordance with sub-paragraph 9(a)), Medical Continuation, Expense
Reimbursement and the Excise Tax Gross Up set forth in subparagraph 9(d), and
either the Fixed Amount or in lieu thereof to the Annual Base Salary Payment,
and the Pro-Rata Portion of Other Compensation (as defined in Paragraph 7),
the Company shall have no further obligations hereunder following such
termination.
14
<PAGE>
(c) RETENTION PAYMENT. Prior to the date of a Change in Control and
subject to the approval of the Board, Executive may make an election to
receive, as a retention payment, the payments and rights set forth
sub-paragraph 9(b) above (the "Retention Payment") and remain in the employ
of the successor after the Change in Control. In the event that Executive
makes such election and the Board approves the same, this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect except that (i) simultaneously with the
receipt of the Retention Payment, Executive shall waive any right to receive
any additional payment as a direct result of such Change in Control, and (ii)
other than with respect to the consummation of a subsequent transaction which
constitutes a Change in Control and is unrelated to the Change in Control
with respect to which the Retention Payment was paid, termination payments
otherwise due subsequently under this Agreement for any event requiring
payment of termination payments under this Agreement which occurs within the
six (6) month period immediately following the date of the Change In Control
as to which the Retention Payment was paid shall be reduced by the Retention
Payment paid to Executive on the date of the Change in Control.
Any cash payments owed to Executive pursuant to this sub-paragraph 9(c)
shall be paid to Executive in a single sum without discount for early payment
at the time of the Change in Control but prior to the consummation of the
transaction with any successor.
(d) EXCISE TAX GROSS UP. In addition, if it is determined by an independent
accountant mutually acceptable to the Company and Executive that as a result of
any payment in the nature of compensation made by the Company to (or for the
benefit of) Executive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, an excise tax may
be
15
<PAGE>
imposed on Executive pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor
provisions), the Company shall pay Executive in cash an amount equal to X
determined under the following formula: (the "Excise Tax Gross Up"):
E x P
X = --------------------------------------------
1-[(FI x (1-SLI)) + SLI + E + M]
where
E = the rate at which the excise tax is assessed under Section 4999 of
the Code (or any successor provisions);
P = the amount with respect to which such excise tax is assessed,
determined without regard to the Excise Tax Gross Up;
FI = the highest effective marginal rate of income tax applicable to
Executive under the Code for the taxable year in question (taking
into account any phase-out or loss of deductions, personal
exemptions or other similar adjustments);
SLI = the sum of the highest effective marginal rates of income tax
applicable to Executive under all applicable state and local laws
for the taxable year in question (taking into account any
phase-out or loss of deductions, personal exemptions and other
similar adjustments); and
M = the highest marginal rate of Medicare tax applicable to Executive
under the Code for the taxable year in question.
With respect to any payment in the nature of compensation that is made to (or
for the benefit of) Executive under the terms of this Agreement or otherwise
and on which an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor
provisions) may be assessed, the payment determined under this sub-paragraph
9(d) shall be paid to Executive at the time of the Change in Control but
prior to the consummation of the transaction with any successor. It is the
intention of the parties that the Company
16
<PAGE>
provide Executive with a full tax gross-up under the provisions of this
Paragraph, so that on a net after-tax basis, the result to Executive shall be
the same as if the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (or any
successor provisions) had not been imposed. The Excise Tax Gross Up may be
adjusted if alternative minimum tax rules are applicable to Executive.
10. MITIGATION / EFFECT ON EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS AND PROGRAMS.
(a) MITIGATION. Executive shall not be required to mitigate amounts
payable under this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, and
there shall be no offset against amounts due Executive under this Agreement
on account of subsequent employment. Amounts owed to Executive under this
Agreement shall not be offset by any claims the Company may have against
Executive and such payment shall not be affected by any other circumstances,
including, without limitation, any counterclaim, recoupment, defense, or
other right which the Company may have against Executive or others.
(b) EFFECT ON EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PROGRAMS. The termination of Executive's
employment hereunder, whether by the Company or Executive, shall have no effect
on the rights and obligations of the parties hereto under the Company's (i)
welfare benefit plans including, without limitation, Medical Continuation as
provided for herein and, health coverage thereafter but only to the extent
required by law, and on the same basis applicable to other employees and (ii)
401(k) Plan but only to the extent required by law and pursuant to the terms of
the 401(k) Plan.
17
<PAGE>
11. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
(a) Executive understands and acknowledges that during his employment
with the Company, he will be exposed to Confidential Information (as defined
below), all of which is proprietary and which will rightfully belong to the
Company. Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the
Company such Confidential Information obtained by Executive during his
employment with the Company and shall not, directly or indirectly, at any
time, either during or after his employment with the Company, without the
Company's prior written consent, use any of such Confidential Information or
disclose any of such Confidential Information to any individual or entity
other than the Company or its employees, attorneys, accountants, financial
advisors, consultants, or investment bankers except as required in the
performance of his duties for the Company or as otherwise required by law.
Executive shall take all reasonable steps to safeguard such Confidential
Information and to protect such Confidential Information against disclosure,
misuse, loss or theft.
(b) The term "Confidential Information" shall mean any information not
generally known in the relevant trade or industry or otherwise not generally
available to the public, which was obtained from the Company or its
predecessors or which was learned, discovered, developed, conceived,
originated or prepared during or as a result of the performance of any
services by Executive on behalf of the Company or its predecessors. For
purposes of this Paragraph 11, the Company shall be deemed to include any
entity which is controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Company and any
18
<PAGE>
entity of which a majority of the economic interest is owned, directly or
indirectly, by the Company.
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 at the direction 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.
13. NONCOMPETE.
Executive agrees that:
(a) During the Employment Period and, in the event (i) the Company
terminates Executive's employment for Cause, or (ii) Executive terminates his
employment without Good Reason, for a one (1) year period thereafter,
Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, within the continental United
States, engage in, or own, invest in, manage or control any venture or
enterprise primarily engaged in any office-service, flex, or office property
development, acquisition or management activities without regard to whether
or not such activities compete with 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 corporation or
other entity
19
<PAGE>
engaged in such business which is publicly traded, so long as he has no
active participation in the business of such corporation or other entity.
Moreover, the foregoing limitations shall not be deemed to restrict or
otherwise limit Executive from conducting real estate development,
acquisition or management activities with respect to the Excluded Properties,
if any, provided that during the Employment Period the performance of such
activities does not prevent Executive from devoting substantially all of his
business time to the Company.
(b) If, at the time of enforcement of this Paragraph 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 Paragraph 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.
14. REMEDIES.
The parties hereto agree that the Company would suffer irreparable harm
from a breach by Executive of any of the covenants or agreements contained in
Paragraphs 11, 12 or 13 of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event of the
actual or threatened breach by Executive of any of the provisions of
Paragraphs 11, 12 or 13 of this
20
<PAGE>
Agreement, the Company may, in addition and supplementary to other rights and
remedies existing in its favor, apply to any court of law or equity of
competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other
relief in order to enforce or prevent any violation of the provisions thereof.
15. INDEMNIFICATION/LEGAL FEES.
(a) INDEMNIFICATION. In the event the Executive is made party or
threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a "Proceeding"), by reason
of Executive's employment with or serving as an officer or director of the
Company, whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an
official capacity, the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend
Executive to the fullest extent authorized by Maryland law, as the same
exists and may hereafter be amended, against any and all claims, demands,
suits, judgments, assessments and settlements including all expenses incurred
or suffered by Executive in connection therewith (including, without
limitation, all legal fees incurred using counsel reasonably acceptable to
Executive) and such indemnification shall continue as to Executive even after
Executive is no longer employed by the Company and shall inure to the benefit
of his heirs, executors, and administrators. Expenses incurred by Executive
in connection with any Proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance
upon request of Executive that the Company pay such expenses; but, only in
the event that Executive shall have delivered in writing to the Company an
undertaking to reimburse the Company for expenses with respect to which
Executive is not entitled to indemnification. The provisions of this
Paragraph
21
<PAGE>
shall remain in effect after this Agreement is terminated irrespective of the
reasons for termination. The indemnification provisions of this Paragraph
shall not supersede or reduce any indemnification provided to Executive under
any separate agreement, or the by-laws of the Company since it is intended
that this Agreement shall expand and extend the Executive's rights to receive
indemnity.
(b) 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).
16. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
(a) The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect,
by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all
of the business and/or assets of the Company, by agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to Executive, to expressly assume and agree to perform
this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company
would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.
Failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of
an such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle
Executive to compensation from the Company in the
22
<PAGE>
same amount and on the same terms as he would be entitled to hereunder if
Executive terminated his employment hereunder within six (6) months of a
Change in Control as set forth in Paragraph 9, except that for purposes of
implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes
effective shall be deemed the date of termination. In the event of such a
breach of this Agreement, the Notice of Termination shall specify such date
as the date of termination. As used in this Agreement, "Company" shall mean
the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to all or substantially
all of its business and/or its assets as aforesaid which executes and
delivers the agreement provided for in this Paragraph 16 or which otherwise
becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation
of law. Any cash payments owed to Executive pursuant to this Paragraph 16
shall be paid to Executive in a single sum without discount for early payment
immediately prior to the consummation of the transaction with such successor.
(b) This Agreement and all rights of Executive hereunder may be
transferred only by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Upon
Executive's death, this Agreement and all rights of Executive hereunder shall
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive's beneficiary or
beneficiaries, personal or legal representatives, or estate, to the extent
any such person succeeds to Executive's interests under this Agreement.
Executive shall be entitled to select and change a beneficiary or
beneficiaries to receive any benefit or compensation payable hereunder
following Executive's death by giving Company written notice thereof. If
Executive should die following the date of termination while any amounts
would still be payable to him hereunder if he had continued to live, all such
amounts, unless otherwise provided
23
<PAGE>
herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to such
person or persons so appointed in writing by Executive, including, without
limitation, under any applicable plan, or otherwise to his legal
representatives or estate.
24
<PAGE>
17. 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.
18. 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.
The respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall
survive the Executive's termination of employment and termination of this
Agreement to the extent necessary for the intended preservation of such
rights and obligations.
25
<PAGE>
19. NOTICES.
All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall
be made in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered
by hand or delivered by a recognized delivery service or mailed, postage
prepaid, by express, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested,
and addressed to the Company or Executive, as applicable, at the address set
forth above (or to such other address as shall have been previously provided
in accordance with this Paragraph 19).
20. GOVERNING LAW.
This agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New Jersey except as to Paragraph 15(a), without regard
to principles of conflicts of laws thereunder.
21. SEVERABILITY.
Whenever possible, each provision and term of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision or term of this Agreement shall be held to be prohibited
by or invalid under such applicable law, then, subject to the provisions of
sub-paragraph 13(b) above, such provision or term shall be ineffective only
to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or
affecting in any manner whatsoever the remainder of such provisions or term
or the remaining provisions or terms of this Agreement.
26
<PAGE>
22. LEGAL REPRESENTATION.
Each of the Company and Executive have been represented by counsel with
respect to this Agreement.
23. COUNTERPARTS.
This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which is
deemed to be an original and both of which taken together shall constitute
one and the same agreement.
24. HEADINGS.
The headings of the Paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for
convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof and
shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.
25. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other prior
agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof. The parties recognize that the Prior
Agreement has been amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement and
the terms of the Prior Agreement are of no further force and effect.
26. SURVIVAL OF AGREEMENTS.
27
<PAGE>
The covenants made in Paragraphs 5 through 15 and 21 each shall survive
the termination of this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement as of the
date first above written.

Vice President - Finance and Chief Financial Officer, and Executive desires to
continue to be employed by the Company as Executive Vice President - Finance and

the period of employment (the "Employment Period") established under this
Paragraph 2. The initial Employment Period shall be for a term commencing on
the date of this Agreement and ending on the fifth anniversary of the date of
this Agreement provided, however, that commencing on the day after the date of
this Agreement and on each day thereafter, the Employment Period shall be
extended for one additional day so that a constant five (5) year Employment

positions of Executive Vice President - Finance and Chief Financial Officer of
the Company. Executive shall devote his best efforts and substantially all of
his business time, skill and attention to the business of the Company (other
than absences due to vacation, illness, disability or approved leave of
absence), and shall perform such duties as are customarily performed by similar
executive officers and as may be more specifically enumerated from time to time
by the Chief Executive Officer and President; provided, however, that the
foregoing is not intended to (a) preclude Executive from (i) owning and managing
personal investments, including real estate investments, subject to the
restrictions set forth in Paragraph 13 hereof or (ii) engaging in charitable
activities and community affairs, or (b) restrict or otherwise limit Executive
from conducting real estate development, acquisition or management activities
with respect to those properties described in Schedule A, attached hereto, (the

<PAGE>
to in clauses (a) and (b) does not prevent Executive from devoting substantially
all of his business time to the Company.
(b) Place of Employment. The principal place of employment of
Executive shall be at the Company's principal executive offices in Cranford, New
Jersey.
4. Compensation and Benefits.
(a) Salary. During the Employment Period, the Company shall pay
Executive a minimum annual base salary in the amount of $300,000 (the "Annual
Base Salary") payable in accordance with the Company's regular payroll
practices. Executive's Annual Base Salary shall be reviewed annually in
accordance with the policy of the Company from time to time and may be subject
to upward adjustment based upon, among other things, Executive's performance, as
determined in the sole discretion of the Chief Executive Officer and the
President. In no event shall Executive's Annual Base Salary in effect at a
particular time be reduced without his prior written consent.
(b) Incentive Compensation/Bonuses. In addition, Executive shall be
eligible for incentive compensation payable each year in such amounts as may be
determined by the Option and Executive Compensation Committee of the Board (the
"Compensation Committee") based upon, among other factors, growth in Funds from
Operations per Common Share (as hereinafter defined) for the year. Executive
shall be entitled to receive such bonuses and options to purchase shares of
common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock") as
4
<PAGE>
the Board or the Compensation Committee as the case may be shall approve, in its
sole discretion, including, without limitation, options and bonuses contingent
upon Executive's performance and the achievement of specified financial and
operating objectives for Funds from Operations per Common Share. For purposes
of this Agreement, "Funds from Operations per Common Share" for any period shall
mean (i) net income (loss) before minority interest of unit holders, computed in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding
gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sale of property, plus real estate
return, depreciation and amortization as calculated in accordance with the
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts definition published in
March 1995, as amended from time to time, and as applied in accordance with the
accounting practices and policies of the Company in effect from time to time on
a consistent basis to the entire Employment Period, divided by (ii) the sum of
(A) the primary weighted average number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as
it appears in the Company's financial statement for the applicable period and
(B) the primary weighted average number of outstanding common limited
partnership units ("Common OP Units") of Mack-Cali Realty, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership (the "Partnership") of which the Company is the sole general
partner, for the applicable period. All classes of preferred stock which are
convertible into Common Stock and all classes of preferred or other units which
are convertible into Common OP Units shall be treated as if they have been
converted into Common Stock or Common OP Units and shall be included in the
denominator, irrespective of any waiting period which must elapse prior to
conversion.

termination for Good Reason hereunder. For purposes of this
Agreement "Change in Control" shall mean that any of the
following events has occurred: (A) any "person" or "group" of
persons, as such terms are used in Sections 13 and 14 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
other than any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company,
becomes the "beneficial owner", as such term is used in Section
13 of the Exchange Act, (irrespective of any vesting or waiting
periods) of (I) Common Stock or any class of stock convertible
into Common Stock and/or (II) Common OP Units or preferred units
or any other class of units convertible into Common OP Units, in
an amount equal to twenty (20%) percent or more of the sum total
of the Common Stock and the Common OP Units (treating all classes
of outstanding stock, units or other securities convertible into
stock units as if they were converted into Common Stock or Common
OP Units as the case may be and then treating Common Stock and
Common OP Units as if they were a single class) issued and
outstanding immediately prior to such acquisition as if they were

8
<PAGE>

one class immediately before such transaction own, immediately
after consummation of such transaction, equity securities and
partnership units possessing less than fifty (50%) percent of the
surviving or acquiring company and partnership taken as a whole;
or (D) a turnover, during any two (2) year period, of the
majority of the members of the Board, without the consent of the
remaining members of the Board as to the appointment of the new
Board members.
(b) Notice of Termination. Any termination of Executive's employment
by the Company or any such termination by Executive (other than on account of
death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party
hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a
notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement
relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances
claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive's employment under the
provision so indicated. In the event of the termination of Executive's
employment on account of death, written Notice of Termination shall be deemed to
have been provided on the date of death.
6. Compensation Upon Termination of Employment By the Company for
Cause or By Executive without Good Reason.
In the event the Company terminates Executive's employment for Cause or
Executive terminates his employment without Good Reason, the Company shall pay
Executive any unpaid Annual Base Salary at the rate then in effect accrued
through and including the date of termination. In addition, in such event,
Executive shall be entitled (i) to receive any earned but unpaid incentive
9
<PAGE>
compensation or bonuses and (ii) to exercise any options which have vested and
are exercisable in accordance with the terms of the applicable option grant
agreement or plan.
Except for any rights which Executive may have to unpaid salary amounts
through and including the date of termination, earned but unpaid incentive
compensation or bonuses and vested options, the Company shall have no further
obligations hereunder following such termination. The aforesaid amounts shall
be payable in full immediately upon such termination.
7. Compensation Upon Termination of Employment Upon Death or Disability.
In the event of termination of Executive's employment as a result of either
Executive's death or Disability, the Company shall pay to Executive, his estate
or his personal representative (i) the unpaid Annual Base Salary at the rate
then in effect through the end of the Unexpired Employment Period (the "Annual
Base Salary Payment"); (ii) a pro-rata portion, based upon the number of days in
the period beginning with the date of the termination of Executive's employment
due to death or Disability and ending with the last day of the Unexpired
Employment Period, of the cash equivalent of the average annual amount of all
other compensation based on the average of the last two (2) calendar years
immediately preceding the year in which Executive's termination of employment
occurs including, without limitation, incentive compensation payments, bonuses
and stock based compensation (e.g., stock options, restricted stock awards,
etc.) paid, granted or accreted to Executive during such years (the "Pro-Rata
Portion of Other Compensation") and (iii) reimbursement of expenses incurred
prior to date of termination ("Expense Reimbursement"). The aforesaid
10
<PAGE>
amounts shall be payable in cash without discount for early payment, at the
option of Executive, his estate or his personal representative, either in
full immediately upon such termination or monthly over the Unexpired
Employment Period (the "Payment Election"). In the event of termination of
employment due to Disability, Executive shall also receive continuation of
health coverage through the end of the Unexpired Employment Period on the
same basis as health coverage is provided by the Company for active employees
and as may be amended from time to time ("Medical Continuation").
In addition, all (A) incentive compensation payments or programs of any
nature whether stock based or otherwise that are subject to a vesting schedule
including, without limitation, restricted stock, phantom stock, units and any
loan forgiveness arrangements granted to Executive ("Incentive Compensation")
shall immediately vest as of the date of such termination ("Vested Incentive
Compensation") and (B) options granted to Executive shall immediately vest as of
the date of such termination (the "Vested Options") and Executive shall be
entitled at the option of Executive, his estate or his personal representative,
within one (1) year of the date of such termination, to exercise any options
which have vested (including, without limitation, by acceleration in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, the applicable option grant agreement or plan)
and are exercisable in accordance with the terms of the applicable option grant
agreement or plan and/or any other methods or procedures for exercise applicable
to optionees or to require the Company (upon written notice delivered within one
hundred eighty (180) days following the date of Executive's termination) to
repurchase all or any portion of Executive's vested options to purchase shares
11
<PAGE>
of Common Stock at a price equal to the difference between the Repurchase Fair
Market Value (as hereinafter defined) of the shares of Common Stock for which
the options to be repurchased are exercisable and the exercise price of such
options as of the date of Executive's termination of employment (the "Vested
Option Exercise Election"). In the event of a conflict between any option grant
agreement or plan and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
Except for any rights which Executive may have to all of the above including the
Annual Base Salary Payment, the Pro-Rata Portion of Other Compensation, Vested
Incentive Compensation, Vested Options, Expense Reimbursement and in the event
of a termination of employment due to Disability, Medical Continuation, the
Company shall have no further obligations hereunder following such termination.
For purposes of this Agreement, "Repurchase Fair Market Value" shall mean the
average of the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange (or such other
exchange on which the Common Stock is primarily traded) of the Common Stock on
each of the trading days within the thirty (30) days immediately preceding the
date of termination of Executive's employment.
8. Compensation Upon Termination of Employment By the Company Without
Cause or By Executive for Good Reason.
In the event the Company terminates Executive's employment for any reason
other than Cause or Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, the
Company shall pay to Executive and Executive shall be entitled to receive the
greater of (i) three million dollars ($3,000,000) with such amount subject only
12
<PAGE>
to upwards adjustment from time to time by the Compensation Committee (the
"Fixed Amount") or (ii) the sum total of (A) the Annual Base Salary Payment and
(B) the Pro-Rata Portion of Other Compensation. The aforesaid amount shall be
payable in cash without discount for early payment, at the option of Executive,
either in full immediately upon such termination or monthly over the Unexpired
Employment Period.
In addition, the Executive shall be entitled to receive Vested Incentive
Compensation, Vested Options exercisable pursuant to the Vested Option Exercise
Election, Medical Continuation, and Expense Reimbursement. Executive
understands that any options exercised more than ninety (90) days following the
date of his termination of employment which were granted as incentive stock
options shall automatically be converted into non-qualified options.
Except for any rights which Executive may have to Vested Incentive Compensation,
Vested Options, Medical Continuation and Expense Reimbursement and either the
Fixed Amount or in lieu thereof to the Annual Base Salary Payment, and the
Pro-Rata Portion of Other Compensation (as defined in Paragraph 7), the Company
shall have no further obligations hereunder following such termination. The
parties both agree that the agreement to make these payments was consideration
and an inducement to obtain Executive's consent to enter into this Agreement.
The payments are not a penalty and neither party will claim them to be a
penalty. Rather, the payments represent a fair approximation of reasonable
amounts due to Executive for the Employment Period.
13
<PAGE>
9. Change in Control.
(a) Options. Any Incentive Compensation and options granted to
Executive that have not vested as of the date of a Change in Control shall
immediately vest upon the date of the Change in Control. Neither the occurrence
of a Change in Control, nor the vesting in any options as a result thereof shall
require Executive to exercise any options. In the event of a conflict between
any Incentive Compensation grant agreement or program or any option grant
agreement or plan and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
(b) Upon Termination. In the event Executive terminates his
employment on or following a Change in Control as set forth in sub-paragraph
5(a)(vii), the Company shall pay to Executive and Executive shall be entitled to
all the payments and rights Executive would have had if Executive had terminated
his employment with Good Reason as set forth in Paragraph 8.
The aforesaid amount shall be payable in accordance with Executive's
Payment Election.
Except for any rights which Executive may have to Vested Incentive
Compensation, Vested Options (including, without limitation, by acceleration in
accordance with sub-paragraph 9(a)), Medical Continuation, Expense Reimbursement
and the Excise Tax Gross Up set forth in subparagraph 9(d), and either the
Fixed Amount or in lieu thereof to the Annual Base Salary Payment, and the
Pro-Rata Portion of Other Compensation (as defined in Paragraph 7), the Company
shall have no further obligations hereunder following such termination.
14
<PAGE>
(c) Retention Payment. Prior to the date of a Change in Control and
subject to the approval of the Board, Executive may make an election to receive,
as a retention payment, the payments and rights set forth sub-paragraph 9(b)
above (the "Retention Payment") and remain in the employ of the successor after
the Change in Control. In the event that Executive makes such election and the
Board approves the same, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect
except that (i) simultaneously with the receipt of the Retention Payment,
Executive shall waive any right to receive any additional payment as a direct
result of such Change in Control, and (ii) other than with respect to the
consummation of a subsequent transaction which constitutes a Change in Control
and is unrelated to the Change in Control with respect to which the Retention
Payment was paid, termination payments otherwise due subsequently under this
Agreement for any event requiring payment of termination payments under this
Agreement which occurs within the six (6) month period immediately following the
date of the Change In Control as to which the Retention Payment was paid shall
be reduced by the Retention Payment paid to Executive on the date of the Change
in Control.
Any cash payments owed to Executive pursuant to this sub-paragraph 9(c)
shall be paid to Executive in a single sum without discount for early payment at
the time of the Change in Control but prior to the consummation of the
transaction with any successor.
(d) Excise Tax Gross Up. In addition, if it is determined by an
independent accountant mutually acceptable to the Company and Executive that as
a result of any payment in the nature of compensation made by the Company to (or
for the benefit of) Executive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, an excise
15
<PAGE>
tax may be imposed on Executive pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code (or any
successor provisions), the Company shall pay Executive in cash an amount equal
to X determined under the following formula: (the "Excise Tax Gross Up"):
X = E x P
------------------------------------
1-[(FI x (1-SLI)) + SLI + E + M]
where
E = the rate at which the excise tax is assessed under Section 4999 of
the Code (or any successor provisions);
P = the amount with respect to which such excise tax is assessed,
determined without regard to the Excise Tax Gross Up;
FI = the highest effective marginal rate of income tax applicable to
Executive under the Code for the taxable year in question (taking
into account any phase-out or loss of deductions, personal exemptions
or other similar adjustments);
SLI = the sum of the highest effective marginal rates of income tax
applicable to Executive under all applicable state and local laws
for the taxable year in question (taking into account any phase-out
or loss of deductions, personal exemptions and other similar
adjustments); and
M = the highest marginal rate of Medicare tax applicable to Executive
under the Code for the taxable year in question.
With respect to any payment in the nature of compensation that is made to (or
for the benefit of) Executive under the terms of this Agreement or otherwise and
on which an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor
provisions) may be assessed, the payment determined under this sub-paragraph
9(d) shall be paid to Executive at the time of the Change in Control but prior
to the consummation of the transaction with any successor. It is the intention
16
<PAGE>
of the parties that the Company provide Executive with a full tax gross-up under
the provisions of this Paragraph, so that on a net after-tax basis, the result
to Executive shall be the same as if the excise tax under Section 4999 of the
Code (or any successor provisions) had not been imposed. The Excise Tax Gross
Up may be adjusted if alternative minimum tax rules are applicable to Executive.
10. Mitigation / Effect on Employee Benefit Plans and Programs.
(a) Mitigation. Executive shall not be required to mitigate amounts
payable under this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, and there
shall be no offset against amounts due Executive under this Agreement on account
of subsequent employment. Amounts owed to Executive under this Agreement shall
not be offset by any claims the Company may have against Executive and such
payment shall not be affected by any other circumstances, including, without
limitation, any counterclaim, recoupment, defense, or other right which the
Company may have against Executive or others.
(b) Effect on Employee Benefit Programs. The termination of
Executive's employment hereunder, whether by the Company or Executive, shall
have no effect on the rights and obligations of the parties hereto under the
Company's (i) welfare benefit plans including, without limitation, Medical
Continuation as provided for herein and, health coverage thereafter but only to
the extent required by law, and on the same basis applicable to other employees
and (ii) 401(k) Plan but only to the extent required by law and pursuant to the
terms of the 401(k) Plan.
17
<PAGE>
11. Confidential Information.
(a) Executive understands and acknowledges that during his employment
with the Company, he will be exposed to Confidential Information (as defined
below), all of which is proprietary and which will rightfully belong to the
Company. Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the
Company such Confidential Information obtained by Executive during his
employment with the Company and shall not, directly or indirectly, at any time,
either during or after his employment with the Company, without the Company's
prior written consent, use any of such Confidential Information or disclose any
of such Confidential Information to any individual or entity other than the
Company or its employees, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors,
consultants, or investment bankers except as required in the performance of his
duties for the Company or as otherwise required by law. Executive shall take
all reasonable steps to safeguard such Confidential Information and to protect
such Confidential Information against disclosure, misuse, loss or theft.
(b) The term "Confidential Information" shall mean any information
not generally known in the relevant trade or industry or otherwise not generally
available to the public, which was obtained from the Company or its predecessors
or which was learned, discovered, developed, conceived, originated or prepared
during or as a result of the performance of any services by Executive on behalf
of the Company or its predecessors. For purposes of this Paragraph 11, the
Company shall be deemed to include any entity which is controlled, directly or
18
<PAGE>
indirectly, by the Company and any entity of which a majority of the economic
interest is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company.
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 at
the direction 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.
13. Noncompete.
Executive agrees that:
(a) During the Employment Period and, in the event (i) the Company
terminates Executive's employment for Cause, or (ii) Executive terminates his
employment without Good Reason, for a one (1) year period thereafter, Executive
shall not, directly or indirectly, within the continental United States, engage
in, or own, invest in, manage or control any venture or enterprise primarily
engaged in any office-service, flex, or office property development, acquisition
or management activities without regard to whether or not such activities
compete with 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 corporation or other entity engaged in such business
19
<PAGE>
which is publicly traded, so long as he has no active participation in the
business of such corporation or other entity. Moreover, the foregoing
limitations shall not be deemed to restrict or otherwise limit Executive from
conducting real estate development, acquisition or management activities with
respect to the Excluded Properties, if any, provided that during the Employment
Period the performance of such activities does not prevent Executive from
devoting substantially all of his business time to the Company.
(b) If, at the time of enforcement of this Paragraph 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 Paragraph 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.
14. Remedies.
The parties hereto agree that the Company would suffer irreparable harm
from a breach by Executive of any of the covenants or agreements contained in
Paragraphs 11, 12 or 13 of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event of the
actual or threatened breach by Executive of any of the provisions of Paragraphs
11, 12 or 13 of this Agreement, the Company may, in addition and supplementary
20
<PAGE>
to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, apply to any court of law or
equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or
other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violation of the provisions
thereof.
15. Indemnification/Legal Fees.
(a) Indemnification. In the event the Executive is made party or
threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (a "Proceeding"), by reason of
Executive's employment with or serving as an officer or director of the Company,
whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an official
capacity, the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Executive to the
fullest extent authorized by Maryland law, as the same exists and may hereafter
be amended, against any and all claims, demands, suits, judgments, assessments
and settlements including all expenses incurred or suffered by Executive in
connection therewith (including, without limitation, all legal fees incurred
using counsel reasonably acceptable to Executive) and such indemnification shall
continue as to Executive even after Executive is no longer employed by the
Company and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors, and
administrators. Expenses incurred by Executive in connection with any
Proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance upon request of Executive
that the Company pay such expenses; but, only in the event that Executive shall
have delivered in writing to the Company an undertaking to reimburse the Company
for expenses with respect to which Executive is not entitled to indemnification.
21
<PAGE>
The provisions of this Paragraph shall remain in effect after this Agreement is
terminated irrespective of the reasons for termination. The indemnification
provisions of this Paragraph shall not supersede or reduce any indemnification
provided to Executive under any separate agreement, or the by-laws of the
Company since it is intended that this Agreement shall expand and extend the
Executive's rights to receive indemnity.
(b) 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).
16. Successors and Assigns.
(a) The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by agreement in
form and substance satisfactory to Executive, to expressly assume and agree to
perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the
Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.
Failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of an
such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle Executive
to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as he
22
<PAGE>
would be entitled to hereunder if Executive terminated his employment hereunder
within six (6) months of a Change in Control as set forth in Paragraph 9, except
that for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such
succession becomes effective shall be deemed the date of termination. In the
event of such a breach of this Agreement, the Notice of Termination shall
specify such date as the date of termination. As used in this Agreement,
"Company" shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to
all or substantially all of its business and/or its assets as aforesaid which
executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this Paragraph 16 or which
otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by
operation of law. Any cash payments owed to Executive pursuant to this
Paragraph 16 shall be paid to Executive in a single sum without discount for
early payment immediately prior to the consummation of the transaction with such
successor.
(b) This Agreement and all rights of Executive hereunder may be
transferred only by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Upon
Executive's death, this Agreement and all rights of Executive hereunder shall
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive's beneficiary or
beneficiaries, personal or legal representatives, or estate, to the extent any
such person succeeds to Executive's interests under this Agreement. Executive
shall be entitled to select and change a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive
any benefit or compensation payable hereunder following Executive's death by
giving Company written notice thereof. If Executive should die following the
date of termination while any amounts would still be payable to him hereunder if
he had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein,
23
<PAGE>
shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to such person or
persons so appointed in writing by Executive, including, without limitation,
under any applicable plan, or otherwise to his legal representatives or estate.
24
<PAGE>
17. 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.
18. 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.
The respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall
survive the Executive's termination of employment and termination of this
Agreement to the extent necessary for the intended preservation of such
rights and obligations.
25
<PAGE>
19. Notices.
All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be
made in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by hand
or delivered by a recognized delivery service or mailed, postage prepaid, by
express, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and addressed
to the Company or Executive, as applicable, at the address set forth above (or
to such other address as shall have been previously provided in accordance with
this Paragraph 19).
20. Governing Law.
This agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New Jersey except as to Paragraph 15(a), without regard to
principles of conflicts of laws thereunder.
21. Severability.

TIMOTHY M. JONES
AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the "Agreement") is
entered into as of December __, 1997, by and between Timothy M. Jones, an
individual residing at 20 Church Street, Greenwich, Connecticut 06830
("Executive"), and Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation with
offices at 11 Commerce Drive, Cranford, New Jersey 07016 (the "Company").
RECITALS
Whereas, Executive has served as Executive Vice President of the Company
pursuant to his prior employment agreement dated as of January 21, 1997 (the
"Prior Agreement") and prior thereto and, through such service, has acquired
special and unique knowledge, abilities and expertise;
Whereas, in connection with the combination of Cali Realty Corporation
with the Mack Companies (the "Mack Combination") the Prior Agreement is
hereby amended and restated in its entirety as of the closing of the Mack
Combination; and
Whereas, the Company desires to continue to employ Executive as Executive
Vice President, and Executive desires to continue to be employed by the
Company as Executive Vice President, pursuant to the amended and restated
terms set forth herein.
Now, Therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:
<PAGE>
1. Employment.
The Company hereby agrees to employ Executive, and Executive hereby
agrees to accept such employment during the period and upon the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.
2. Employment Period.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement to the contrary, the
terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be and remain in effect during
the period of employment (the "Employment Period") established under this
Paragraph 2. The initial Employment Period shall be for a term commencing on
the date of this Agreement and ending on the fifth anniversary of the date of
this Agreement provided, however, that commencing on the day after the date
of this Agreement and on each day thereafter, the Employment Period shall be
extended for one additional day so that a constant five (5) year Employment
Period shall be in effect, unless (i) the Company or Executive elects not to
extend the term of this Agreement by giving written notice to the other party
in accordance with Paragraph 19, in which case, subject to the provisions of
sub-paragraph 5(a)(iv) below, the term of this Agreement shall become fixed
and shall end on the fifth anniversary of the date of such written notice
("Notice of Non-Renewal"), or (ii) Executive's employment terminates
hereunder.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary: (i)
Executive's employment with the Company may be terminated by the Company or
Executive during the Employment Period, subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement; and (ii) nothing in this Agreement shall mandate or
prohibit a continuation
2
<PAGE>
of Executive's employment following the expiration of the Employment Period
upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors of the Company (the
"Board") and Executive may mutually agree.
(c) If Executive's employment with the Company is terminated, for
purposes of this Agreement the term "Unexpired Employment Period" shall mean
the period commencing on the date of such termination and ending on the last
day of the Employment Period.
3. Services / Place of Employment.
(a) Services. During the Employment Period, Executive shall hold the
position of Executive Vice President of the Company. Executive shall devote
his best efforts and substantially all of his business time, skill and
attention to the business of the Company (other than absences due to
vacation, illness, disability or approved leave of absence), and shall
perform such duties as are customarily performed by similar executive
officers and as may be more specifically enumerated from time to time by the
Chief Executive Officer and President; provided, however, that the foregoing
is not intended to (a) preclude Executive from (i) owning and managing
personal investments, including real estate investments, subject to the
restrictions set forth in Paragraph 13 hereof or (ii) engaging in charitable
activities and community affairs, or (b) restrict or otherwise limit
Executive from conducting the activities described in Schedule A, attached
hereto, (the "Excluded Activities "), provided that the performance of the
activities referred to in clauses (a) and (b) does not prevent Executive from
devoting substantially all of his business time to the Company.
3
<PAGE>
(b) Place of Employment. The principal place of employment of Executive
shall be at the Company's principal executive offices in Cranford, New Jersey.
4. Compensation and Benefits.
(a) Salary. During the Employment Period, the Company shall pay Executive
a minimum annual base salary in the amount of $325,000 (the "Annual Base
Salary") payable in accordance with the Company's regular payroll practices.
Executive's Annual Base Salary shall be reviewed annually in accordance with
the policy of the Company from time to time and may be subject to upward
adjustment based upon, among other things, Executive's performance, as
determined in the sole discretion of the Chief Executive Officer and the
President. In no event shall Executive's Annual Base Salary in effect at a
particular time be reduced without his prior written consent.
(b) Incentive Compensation/Bonuses. In addition, Executive shall be
eligible for incentive compensation payable each year in such amounts as may
be determined by the Option and Executive Compensation Committee of the Board
(the "Compensation Committee") based upon, among other factors, growth in
Funds from Operations per Common Share (as hereinafter defined) for the year.
Executive shall be entitled to receive such bonuses and options to purchase
shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the
"Common Stock") as the Board or the Compensation Committee as the case may be
shall approve, in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, options
and bonuses contingent upon Executive's
4
<PAGE>
performance and the achievement of specified financial and operating
objectives for Funds from Operations per Common Share. For purposes of this

(i) net income (loss) before minority interest of unit holders, computed in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding
gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sale of property, plus real
estate return, depreciation and amortization as calculated in accordance with
the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts definition
published in March 1995, as amended from time to time, and as applied in
accordance with the accounting practices and policies of the Company in
effect from time to time on a consistent basis to the entire Employment
Period, divided by (ii) the sum of (A) the primary weighted average number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock as it appears in the Company's financial
statement for the applicable period and (B) the primary weighted average
number of outstanding common limited partnership units ("Common OP Units") of
Mack-Cali Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Partnership") of
which the Company is the sole general partner, for the applicable period. All
classes of preferred stock which are convertible into Common Stock and all
classes of preferred or other units which are convertible into Common OP
Units shall be treated as if they have been converted into Common Stock or
Common OP Units and shall be included in the denominator, irrespective of any
waiting period which must elapse prior to conversion.
(c) Taxes and Withholding. The Company shall have the right to deduct and
withhold from all compensation all social security and other federal, state
5
<PAGE>
and local taxes and charges which currently are or which hereafter may be
required by law to be so deducted and withheld.
(d) Additional Benefits. In addition to the compensation specified above
and other benefits provided pursuant to this Paragraph 4, Executive shall be
entitled to the following benefits:

Corporation, the Cali Realty Corporation 401(k) Savings and
Retirement Plan (subject to statutory rules and maximum
contributions and non-discrimination requirements applicable to
401(k) plans) and such other benefit plans and programs ,
including but not limited to restricted stock, phantom stock
and/or unit awards, loan programs and any other incentive

time and made generally available to executives of the Company
with such participation to be consistent with reasonable Company
guidelines;
(ii) participation in any health insurance, disability insurance,
paid vacation, group life insurance or other welfare benefit
program made generally available to executives of the Company;
and
(iii) reimbursement for reasonable business expenses incurred by
Executive in furtherance of the interests of the Company
including a monthly allowance of twelve hundred ($1,200) which
is intended to cover the cost of local business-related travel
expenses exclusive of amounts paid to third-parties (e.g. taxi
service).
5. Termination of Employment and Change in Control.
(a) Executive's employment hereunder may be terminated during the
Employment Period under the following circumstances:
(i) Cause. The Company shall have the right to terminate Executive's
employment for Cause upon Executive's: (A) willful and continued
failure to use best efforts to substantially perform his duties
hereunder (other than any such failure resulting from
Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness) for a

which the Company believes Executive has not substantially
performed his duties; (B) willful misconduct and/or willful
violation of Paragraph 11 hereof, which is materially

good faith and (II) without reasonable belief that his action or
omission was in furtherance of the interests of the Company.
(ii) Death. Executive's employment hereunder shall terminate upon his
death.

incapable of performing his duties under this Agreement and such
disability has disabled Executive for a cumulative period of one
hundred eighty (180) days within a twelve (12) month period.
(iv) Good Reason. Executive shall have the right to terminate his
employment for "Good Reason": (A) upon the occurrence of any
material breach of this Agreement by the Company which shall

time in question, a failure to pay such amounts when due or any
other failure by the Company to comply with Paragraph 4 hereof;
(C) within six (6) months following the date a Notice of

effective); or (F)

upon the relocation of the Company's principal executive offices
or Executive's own office location to a location more than

following events has occurred: (A) any "person" or "group" of
persons, as such terms are used in Sections 13 and 14 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), other than any employee benefit plan sponsored by the
Company, becomes the "beneficial owner", as such term is used in
Section 13 of the Exchange Act, (irrespective of any vesting or
waiting periods) of (I) Common Stock or any class of stock
convertible into Common Stock and/or (II) Common OP Units or
preferred units or any other class of units convertible into
Common OP Units, in an amount equal to twenty (20%) percent or
more of the sum total of the Common Stock and the Common OP
Units (treating all classes of outstanding stock, units or other
securities convertible into stock units as if they were
converted into Common Stock or Common OP Units as the case may
be and then treating Common Stock and Common OP Units as if they

any equity raise in connection with the financing of such
transaction; (B) any Common Stock is purchased pursuant to a
tender or exchange offer other than an offer by the Company; (C)
the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or the
consummation of any merger or consolidation of the Company or

Partnership taken as a whole and considered as one class
immediately before such transaction own, immediately after
consummation of such transaction, equity securities and
partnership units possessing less than fifty (50%) percent of
the surviving or acquiring company and partnership taken as a
whole;
8
<PAGE>
or (D) a turnover, during any two (2) year period, of the
majority of the members of the Board, without the consent of the
remaining members of the Board as to the appointment of the new
Board members.
(b) Notice of Termination. Any termination of Executive's employment by
the Company or any such termination by Executive (other than on account of
death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other
party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall
mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this
Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and
circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive's
employment under the provision so indicated. In the event of the termination
of Executive's employment on account of death, written Notice of Termination
shall be deemed to have been provided on the date of death.
6. Compensation Upon Termination of Employment By the Company for Cause
or By Executive without Good Reason.
In the event the Company terminates Executive's employment for Cause or
Executive terminates his employment without Good Reason, the Company shall
pay Executive any unpaid Annual Base Salary at the rate then in effect
accrued through and including the date of termination. In addition, in such
event, Executive shall be entitled (i) to receive any earned but unpaid
incentive compensation or bonuses and (ii) to exercise any options which have
vested and are exercisable in accordance with the terms of the applicable
option grant agreement or plan.
Except for any rights which Executive may have to unpaid salary amounts
through and including the date of termination, earned but unpaid incentive
9
<PAGE>
compensation or bonuses and vested options, the Company shall have no further
obligations hereunder following such termination. The aforesaid amounts shall
be payable in full immediately upon such termination.
7. Compensation Upon Termination of Employment Upon Death or Disability.
In the event of termination of Executive's employment as a result of
either Executive's death or Disability, the Company shall pay to Executive,
his estate or his personal representative (i) the unpaid Annual Base Salary
at the rate then in effect through the end of the Unexpired Employment Period
(the "Annual Base Salary Payment"); (ii) a pro-rata portion, based upon the
number of days in the period beginning with the date of the termination of
Executive's employment due to death or Disability and ending with the last
day of the Unexpired Employment Period, of the cash equivalent of the average
annual amount of all other compensation based on the average of the last two
(2) calendar years immediately preceding the year in which Executive's
termination of employment occurs including, without limitation, incentive
compensation payments, bonuses and stock based compensation (e.g., stock
options, restricted stock awards, etc.) paid, granted or accreted to
Executive during such years (the "Pro-Rata Portion of Other Compensation")
and (iii) reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to date of termination
("Expense Reimbursement"). The aforesaid amounts shall be payable in cash
without discount for early payment, at the option of Executive, his estate or
his personal representative, either in full immediately upon such termination
or monthly over the Unexpired Employment Period (the "Payment Election"). In
the event of termination of employment due to Disability, Executive shall
10
<PAGE>
also receive continuation of health coverage through the end of the Unexpired
Employment Period on the same basis as health coverage is provided by the
Company for active employees and as may be amended from time to time
("Medical Continuation").
In addition, all (A) incentive compensation payments or programs of any
nature whether stock based or otherwise that are subject to a vesting
schedule including, without limitation, restricted stock, phantom stock,
units and any loan forgiveness arrangements granted to Executive ("Incentive
Compensation") shall immediately vest as of the date of such termination
("Vested Incentive Compensation") and (B) options granted to Executive shall
immediately vest as of the date of such termination (the "Vested Options")
and Executive shall be entitled at the option of Executive, his estate or his
personal representative, within one (1) year of the date of such termination,
to exercise any options which have vested (including, without limitation, by
acceleration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the applicable
option grant agreement or plan) and are exercisable in accordance with the
terms of the applicable option grant agreement or plan and/or any other
methods or procedures for exercise applicable to optionees or to require the
Company (upon written notice delivered within one hundred eighty (180) days
following the date of Executive's termination) to repurchase all or any
portion of Executive's vested options to purchase shares of Common Stock at a
price equal to the difference between the Repurchase Fair Market Value (as
hereinafter defined) of the shares of Common Stock for which the options to
be repurchased are exercisable and the exercise price of such options as of
the date of Executive's termination of employment (the "Vested Option
Exercise Election"). In the event of a
11
<PAGE>
conflict between any option grant agreement or plan and this Agreement, the
terms of this Agreement shall control.
Except for any rights which Executive may have to all of the above
including the Annual Base Salary Payment, the Pro-Rata Portion of Other
Compensation, Vested Incentive Compensation, Vested Options, Expense
Reimbursement and in the event of a termination of employment due to
Disability, Medical Continuation, the Company shall have no further
obligations hereunder following such termination.
For purposes of this Agreement, "Repurchase Fair Market Value" shall mean
the average of the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange (or such
other exchange on which the Common Stock is primarily traded) of the Common
Stock on each of the trading days within the thirty (30) days immediately
preceding the date of termination of Executive's employment.
8. Compensation Upon Termination of Employment By the Company Without
Cause or By Executive for Good Reason.
In the event the Company terminates Executive's employment for any reason
other than Cause or Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, the
Company shall pay to Executive and Executive shall be entitled to receive the
greater of (i) three million two hundred thousand dollars ($3,200,000) with
such amount subject only to upwards adjustment from time to time by the
Compensation Committee (the "Fixed Amount") or (ii) the sum total of (A) the
Annual Base Salary Payment and (B) the Pro-Rata Portion of Other
Compensation. The aforesaid amount shall be payable in
12
<PAGE>
cash without discount for early payment, at the option of Executive, either
in full immediately upon such termination or monthly over the Unexpired
Employment Period.
In addition, the Executive shall be entitled to receive Vested Incentive
Compensation, Vested Options exercisable pursuant to the Vested Option
Exercise Election, Medical Continuation, and Expense Reimbursement. Executive
understands that any options exercised more than ninety (90) days following
the date of his termination of employment which were granted as incentive
stock options shall automatically be converted into non-qualified options.
Except for any rights which Executive may have to Vested Incentive
Compensation, Vested Options, Medical Continuation and Expense Reimbursement
and either the Fixed Amount or in lieu thereof to the Annual Base Salary
Payment, and the Pro-Rata Portion of Other Compensation (as defined in
Paragraph 7), the Company shall have no further obligations hereunder
following such termination. The parties both agree that the agreement to make
these payments was consideration and an inducement to obtain Executive's
consent to enter into this Agreement. The payments are not a penalty and
neither party will claim them to be a penalty. Rather, the payments represent
a fair approximation of reasonable amounts due to Executive for the
Employment Period.
9. Change in Control.
(a) Options. Any Incentive Compensation and options granted to Executive
that have not vested as of the date of a Change in Control shall immediately
vest upon the date of the Change in Control. Neither the occurrence of a
Change in
13
<PAGE>
Control, nor the vesting in any options as a result thereof shall require
Executive to exercise any options. In the event of a conflict between any
Incentive Compensation grant agreement or program or any option grant
agreement or plan and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall
control.
(b) Upon Termination. In the event Executive terminates his employment on
or following a Change in Control as set forth in sub-paragraph 5(a)(vii), the
Company shall pay to Executive and Executive shall be entitled to all the
payments and rights Executive would have had if Executive had terminated his
employment with Good Reason as set forth in Paragraph 8.
The aforesaid amount shall be payable in accordance with Executive's
Payment Election.
Except for any rights which Executive may have to Vested Incentive
Compensation, Vested Options (including, without limitation, by acceleration
in accordance with sub-paragraph 9(a)), Medical Continuation, Expense
Reimbursement and the Excise Tax Gross Up set forth in subparagraph 9(d), and
either the Fixed Amount or in lieu thereof to the Annual Base Salary Payment,
and the Pro-Rata Portion of Other Compensation (as defined in Paragraph 7),
the Company shall have no further obligations hereunder following such
termination.
(c) Retention Payment. Prior to the date of a Change in Control and
subject to the approval of the Board, Executive may make an election to
receive, as a retention payment, the payments and rights set forth
sub-paragraph 9(b) above (the "Retention Payment") and remain in the employ
of the successor after the Change in Control. In the event that Executive
makes such election and the Board approves the
14
<PAGE>
same, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect except that (i)
simultaneously with the receipt of the Retention Payment, Executive shall
waive any right to receive any additional payment as a direct result of such
Change in Control, and (ii) other than with respect to the consummation of a
subsequent transaction which constitutes a Change in Control and is unrelated
to the Change in Control with respect to which the Retention Payment was
paid, termination payments otherwise due subsequently under this Agreement
for any event requiring payment of termination payments under this Agreement
which occurs within the six (6) month period immediately following the date
of the Change In Control as to which the Retention Payment was paid shall be
reduced by the Retention Payment paid to Executive on the date of the Change
in Control.
Any cash payments owed to Executive pursuant to this sub-paragraph 9(c)
shall be paid to Executive in a single sum without discount for early payment
at the time of the Change in Control but prior to the consummation of the
transaction with any successor.
(d) Excise Tax Gross Up. In addition, if it is determined by an
independent accountant mutually acceptable to the Company and Executive that
as a result of any payment in the nature of compensation made by the Company
to (or for the benefit of) Executive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise,
an excise tax may be imposed on Executive pursuant to Section 4999 of the
Code (or any successor provisions), the Company shall pay Executive in cash
an amount equal to X determined under the following formula: (the "Excise Tax
Gross Up"):
15
<PAGE>
E x P
X = ----------------------------------
1-[(FI x (1-SLI)) + SLI + E + M]
where
E = the rate at which the excise tax is assessed under Section 4999 of
the Code (or any successor provisions);
P = the amount with respect to which such excise tax is assessed,
determined without regard to the Excise Tax Gross Up;
FI = the highest effective marginal rate of income tax applicable to
Executive under the Code for the taxable year in question (taking into
account any phase-out or loss of deductions, personal exemptions or
other similar adjustments);
SLI = the sum of the highest effective marginal rates of income tax
applicable to Executive under all applicable state and local laws
for the taxable year in question (taking into account any phase-out
or loss of deductions, personal exemptions and other similar
adjustments); and
M = the highest marginal rate of Medicare tax applicable to Executive
under the Code for the taxable year in question.
With respect to any payment in the nature of compensation that is made to (or
for the benefit of) Executive under the terms of this Agreement or otherwise
and on which an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor
provisions) may be assessed, the payment determined under this sub-paragraph
9(d) shall be paid to Executive at the time of the Change in Control but
prior to the consummation of the transaction with any successor. It is the
intention of the parties that the Company provide Executive with a full tax
gross-up under the provisions of this Paragraph, so that on a net after-tax
basis, the result to Executive shall be the same as if the excise tax under
Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provisions) had not been
16
<PAGE>
imposed. The Excise Tax Gross Up may be adjusted if alternative minimum tax
rules are applicable to Executive.
10. Mitigation / Effect on Employee Benefit Plans and Programs.
(a) Mitigation. Executive shall not be required to mitigate amounts
payable under this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, and
there shall be no offset against amounts due Executive under this Agreement
on account of subsequent employment. Amounts owed to Executive under this
Agreement shall not be offset by any claims the Company may have against
Executive and such payment shall not be affected by any other circumstances,
including, without limitation, any counterclaim, recoupment, defense, or
other right which the Company may have against Executive or others.
(b) Effect on Employee Benefit Programs. The termination of Executive's
employment hereunder, whether by the Company or Executive, shall have no
effect on the rights and obligations of the parties hereto under the
Company's (i) welfare benefit plans including, without limitation, Medical
Continuation as provided for herein and, health coverage thereafter but only
to the extent required by law, and on the same basis applicable to other
employees and (ii) 401(k) Plan but only to the extent required by law and
pursuant to the terms of the 401(k) Plan.
11. Confidential Information.
(a) Executive understands and acknowledges that during his employment
with the Company, he will be exposed to Confidential Information (as
17
<PAGE>
defined below), all of which is proprietary and which will rightfully belong
to the Company. Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit
of the Company such Confidential Information obtained by Executive during his
employment with the Company and shall not, directly or indirectly, at any
time, either during or after his employment with the Company, without the
Company's prior written consent, use any of such Confidential Information or
disclose any of such Confidential Information to any individual or entity
other than the Company or its employees, attorneys, accountants, financial
advisors, consultants, or investment bankers except as required in the
performance of his duties for the Company or as otherwise required by law.
Executive shall take all reasonable steps to safeguard such Confidential
Information and to protect such Confidential Information against disclosure,
misuse, loss or theft.
(b) The term "Confidential Information" shall mean any information not
generally known in the relevant trade or industry or otherwise not generally
available to the public, which was obtained from the Company or its
predecessors or which was learned, discovered, developed, conceived,
originated or prepared during or as a result of the performance of any
services by Executive on behalf of the Company or its predecessors. For
purposes of this Paragraph 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.
12. Return of Documents.
18
<PAGE>
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 at the direction 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.
13. Noncompete.
Executive agrees that:
(a) During the Employment Period and, in the event (i) the Company
terminates Executive's employment for Cause, or (ii) Executive terminates his
employment without Good Reason, for a one (1) year period thereafter,
Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, within the continental United
States, engage in, or own, invest in, manage or control any venture or
enterprise primarily engaged in any office-service, flex, or office property
development, acquisition or management activities without regard to whether
or not such activities compete with 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 corporation or
other entity engaged in such business which is publicly traded, so long as he
has no active participation in the business of such corporation or other
entity. Moreover, the foregoing limitations shall not be deemed to restrict
or otherwise limit Executive from conducting the Excluded Activities, if any,
provided that during the Employment Period
19
<PAGE>
the performance of such activities does not prevent Executive from devoting
substantially all of his business time to the Company.
(b) If, at the time of enforcement of this Paragraph 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 Paragraph 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.
14. Remedies.
The parties hereto agree that the Company would suffer irreparable harm
from a breach by Executive of any of the covenants or agreements contained in
Paragraphs 11, 12 or 13 of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event of the
actual or threatened breach by Executive of any of the provisions of
Paragraphs 11, 12 or 13 of this Agreement, the Company may, in addition and
supplementary to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, apply to
any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance
and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any
violation of the provisions thereof.
20
<PAGE>
15. Indemnification/Legal Fees.
(a) Indemnification. In the event the Executive is made party or
threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a "Proceeding"), by reason
of Executive's employment with or serving as an officer or director of the
Company, whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an
official capacity, the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend
Executive to the fullest extent authorized by Maryland law, as the same
exists and may hereafter be amended, against any and all claims, demands,
suits, judgments, assessments and settlements including all expenses incurred
or suffered by Executive in connection therewith (including, without
limitation, all legal fees incurred using counsel reasonably acceptable to
Executive) and such indemnification shall continue as to Executive even after
Executive is no longer employed by the Company and shall inure to the benefit
of his heirs, executors, and administrators. Expenses incurred by Executive
in connection with any Proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance
upon request of Executive that the Company pay such expenses; but, only in
the event that Executive shall have delivered in writing to the Company an
undertaking to reimburse the Company for expenses with respect to which
Executive is not entitled to indemnification. The provisions of this
Paragraph shall remain in effect after this Agreement is terminated
irrespective of the reasons for termination. The indemnification provisions
of this Paragraph shall not supersede or reduce any indemnification provided
to Executive under any separate agreement, or the
21
<PAGE>
by-laws of the Company since it is intended that this Agreement shall expand
and extend the Executive's rights to receive indemnity.
(b) 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).
16. Successors and Assigns.
(a) The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect,
by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all
of the business and/or assets of the Company, by agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to Executive, to expressly assume and agree to perform
this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company
would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.
Failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of
an such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle
Executive to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same
terms as he would be entitled to hereunder if Executive terminated his
employment hereunder within six (6) months of a Change in Control as set
forth in Paragraph 9, except that for purposes of implementing the foregoing,
the
22
<PAGE>
date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the date
of termination. In the event of such a breach of this Agreement, the Notice
of Termination shall specify such date as the date of termination. As used in
this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and
any successor to all or substantially all of its business and/or its assets
as aforesaid which executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this
Paragraph 16 or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions
of this Agreement by operation of law. Any cash payments owed to Executive
pursuant to this Paragraph 16 shall be paid to Executive in a single sum
without discount for early payment immediately prior to the consummation of
the transaction with such successor.
(b) This Agreement and all rights of Executive hereunder may be
transferred only by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Upon
Executive's death, this Agreement and all rights of Executive hereunder shall
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive's beneficiary or
beneficiaries, personal or legal representatives, or estate, to the extent
any such person succeeds to Executive's interests under this Agreement.
Executive shall be entitled to select and change a beneficiary or
beneficiaries to receive any benefit or compensation payable hereunder
following Executive's death by giving Company written notice thereof. If
Executive should die following the date of termination while any amounts
would still be payable to him hereunder if he had continued to live, all such
amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement to such person or persons so appointed in writing
by Executive, including, without limitation, under any applicable plan, or
otherwise to his legal representatives or estate.
23
<PAGE>
17. 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.
18. 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.
The respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall
survive the Executive's termination of employment and termination of this
Agreement to the extent necessary for the intended preservation of such
rights and obligations.
24
<PAGE>
19. Notices.
All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall
be made in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered
by hand or delivered by a recognized delivery service or mailed, postage
prepaid, by express, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested,
and addressed to the Company or Executive, as applicable, at the address set
forth above (or to such other address as shall have been previously provided
in accordance with this Paragraph 19).
20. Governing Law.
This agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New Jersey except as to Paragraph 15(a), without regard
to principles of conflicts of laws thereunder.
21. Severability.
Whenever possible, each provision and term of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision or term of this Agreement shall be held to be prohibited
by or invalid under such applicable law, then, subject to the provisions of
sub-paragraph 13(b) above, such provision or term shall be ineffective only
to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or
affecting in any manner whatsoever the remainder of such provisions or term
or the remaining provisions or terms of this Agreement.
22. Legal Representation.
25
<PAGE>
Each of the Company and Executive have been represented by counsel with
respect to this Agreement.
23. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which is
deemed to be an original and both of which taken together shall constitute
one and the same agreement.
24. Headings.
The headings of the Paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for
convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof and
shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.
25. Entire Agreement.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other prior
agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof. The parties recognize that the Prior
Agreement has been amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement and
the terms of the Prior Agreement are of no further force and effect.
26. Survival of Agreements.

Dollars ("LOAN") to Borrower, on the Closing Date, in an aggregate principal
amount of TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($200,000,000). Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent an irrevocable notice (a "NOTICE OF BORROWING") for the
Loan. The Notice of Borrowing shall be substantially in the form of EXHIBIT C.

of Borrower payable to Lender in substantially the form of EXHIBIT B, dated the
date hereof, with appropriate insertions as to payee, date and principal amount,
payable to the order of such Lender and in a principal amount equal to
$200,000,000. The outstanding principal balance of the Loan as evidenced by the
Note shall be payable on the Maturity Date, unless the same becomes due and
payable on an earlier date pursuant to the terms hereof. The Note will bear
interest on the outstanding principal balance thereof as set forth in SECTION
3.02 hereof.
(b) The date, amount, interest rate and duration of each Interest
Period of the Loan, and each payment made on account of the principal thereof,
shall be recorded by Lender on its books and, prior to any transfer of the Note,
endorsed by Lender on the schedule attached to and constituting a part of the
Note; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure of Lender to make any such recordation
or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of Borrower to make any payment
when due hereunder;
14
<PAGE>
PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that any such recordation or endorsement shall
constitute PRIMA FACIE evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded
absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.04 OPTIONAL PREPAYMENTS. (a) Subject to SECTIONS 4.04 AND
5.04, Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, at
any time or from time to time without premium or penalty (other than customary

Administrative Agent notice of each such prepayment as provided in SECTION 4.04
(and, upon the date specified in any such notice of prepayment, the amount to be
prepaid shall become due and payable hereunder). Partial repayments shall be in
an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in
excess thereof. All prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued but unpaid
interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of prepayment.
Amounts repaid may not be reborrowed.
SECTION 2.05 MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS; PERMANENT REDUCTION OF

Control with respect to the REIT Group, Borrower shall repay the outstanding
principal of the Loan, in full, with, (i) accrued interest and fees and (ii)
customary breakage costs for LIBOR. If Borrower shall receive any proceeds from
loans made by Prudential, other than borrowing under the Existing Credit
Facility Documents or under this Agreement, and Prudential in its sole
discretion requires the Borrower to use the proceeds of such loans to repay the
Loan, then Borrower shall repay the Loan in an amount equal to the aggregate net
proceeds of such loans, with, (i) accrued interest and fees and (ii) customary
breakage costs for LIBOR. All prepayments hereunder shall be accompanied by
accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of
prepayment.

release of one or more of the Mortgaged Properties (a "PROPERTY RELEASE") from
the lien of this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Credit Facility
Documents, provided the following conditions are met:

discretion that, after giving effect to the Property Release,
15
<PAGE>
the Loan amount does not exceed 65% of the value of the Mortgaged
Properties at the time of the Property Release.
ARTICLE III
PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST
SECTION 3.01 REPAYMENT OF LOAN. Borrower agrees to repay on the
Maturity Date the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loan, together
with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due under the
Note and the other Credit Facility Documents.
SECTION 3.02 INTEREST.
(a) Borrower agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of
the Loan for the period from and including the date of such Loan to but
excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, for each Interest Period
relating thereto, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis set forth in
SECTION 4.02(a) equal to the Interest Rate for such Loan.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower hereby promises to pay
interest at the applicable Post-Default Rate on the principal of or interest on
the Loan and on any other amount payable by Borrower hereunder or under the Note
which shall not be paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise), for the period from and
including the due date thereof to and including the date the same is paid in
full (after as well as before judgment).
(c) Accrued interest on the Loan shall be payable on the Interest
Payment Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that interest payable at the Post-Default Rate
shall be payable from time to time on demand.
SECTION 3.03 INTEREST ADJUSTMENTS.
(a) If the provisions of this Agreement or the Note would at any time
require payment by Borrower to Lender of an amount of interest in excess of the
maximum amount then permitted by the law applicable to the Loan, the interest
payments to Lender shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that Lender shall
not receive interest in excess of such maximum amount. If, as a result of the
foregoing, Lender shall receive interest payments hereunder or under the Note in
an amount less than the amount otherwise provided hereunder, such deficit
(hereinafter called the "INTEREST DEFICIT") will, to the fullest extent
permitted by Requirements of Law, cumulate and will be carried forward (without
interest) until the termination of this Agreement. Interest otherwise payable
to Lender hereunder and under the Note for any subsequent period shall be
increased by the maximum amount of the Interest Deficit
16
<PAGE>
that may be so added without causing Lender to receive interest in excess of the
maximum amount then permitted by the law applicable to the Loan.
(b) The amount of the Interest Deficit relating to the Loan shall be
paid in full at the time of any optional prepayment by Borrower to Lender
pursuant to SECTIONS 2.05 OR 2.06. The amount of the Interest Deficit relating
to the Loan at the time of any complete payment of the Loan at that time
outstanding (other than an optional prepayment thereof pursuant to SECTION 2.05
or mandatory prepayment pursuant to SECTION 2.06) shall be canceled and not
paid.
ARTICLE IV
PAYMENTS AND COMPUTATIONS
SECTION 4.01 PAYMENTS.
(a) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrower
hereunder and under the Note, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or
otherwise, shall be made without deduction, set off or counterclaim and shall be
made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lender, at the Administrative
Agent's office specified in SECTION 11.02, in Dollars and in immediately
available funds. If any payment on the Loan becomes due and payable on a day
other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend
such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be
made on the immediately preceding Business Day.
(b) Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) debit the amount of
any payment that is not made when due to any ordinary deposit account of the
Borrower with Lender.
SECTION 4.02 COMPUTATIONS.
(a) Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and
the actual number of days elapsed in each Interest Period occurring in the
period for which payable. Other amounts owing hereunder shall be computed on
the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed in each
Interest Period occurring in the period for which payable. The Administrative
Agent shall as soon as practicable notify Borrower of each determination of a
Interest Rate. Any change in the interest rate on the Loan resulting from a
change in the Reserve Requirement shall become effective as of the opening of
business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative
Agent shall as soon as practicable notify Borrower of the effective date and the
amount of each such change in interest rate.
(b) The establishment of the LIBOR Base Rate on each LIBOR
Determination Date by the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent's
17
<PAGE>
calculation of the rate of interest for the related Interest Period shall (in
the absence of manifest error) be final and binding on Borrower and Lender. The
Administrative Agent shall make available the then current LIBOR Base Rate to
any Lender upon request. Furthermore, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
send written notice of its determination of the LIBOR Base Rate to Borrower
prior to the close of business on each LIBOR Determination Date.
SECTION 4.03 MINIMUM AMOUNTS. Except for mandatory prepayments made
pursuant to SECTION 2.06 and prepayments made pursuant to SECTION 5.03, each
partial prepayment of principal of the Loan shall be in an aggregate principal
amount at least equal to $1,000,000 or in multiples of $500,000 in excess
thereof.
SECTION 4.04 CERTAIN NOTICES. Written or telephonic (promptly
confirmed in writing) notices by Borrower of optional prepayments of the Loan
shall be irrevocable and shall be effective only if received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York time, ten (10) Business
Days prior to the date of the relevant prepayment or the first day of such
Interest Period. Each such notice of optional prepayment shall specify the
amount (subject to SECTION 4.03) of the Loan to be prepaid and the date (which
shall be a Business Day) of such proposed prepayment.
SECTION 4.05. SET-OFF. In addition to any rights and remedies of
Lender provided by law, Lender shall have the right, if an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, without prior notice to Borrower, any
such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by
applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder
or under the Note (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise)
to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and
any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether
direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time
held or owing by the Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit
or the account of Borrower. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower and the
Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by Lender;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such set-off and application.
ATICLE V
YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.
SECTION 5.01 ADDITIONAL COSTS.
(a) Borrower shall pay directly to the Administrative Agent for the
account of Lender from time to time such amounts as Lender may (in its sole
judgment) determine to be necessary to compensate Lender for any costs that
Lender determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of the Loan or
its obligation to make the Loan hereunder, or any reduction in any amount
receivable by Lender
18
<PAGE>
hereunder in respect of any of the Loan or such obligation (such increases in
costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called "ADDITIONAL
COSTS"), resulting from any Regulatory Change that:
(i) subjects Lender to, or increases the net amount of, any tax,
levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding with respect to
the Loan, or changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to Lender
under this Agreement or the Note in respect of any of the Loan (other than
taxes imposed on or measured by the overall net income of Lender or of the
Applicable Lending Office for any of the Loan by the jurisdiction in which
Lender has its principal office or such Applicable Lending Office) and
other than changes generally affecting the manner in which the income of
the Lender or its Applicable Lending Office is subjected to taxation;
(ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, deposit or
similar requirements (other than the Reserve Requirement utilized in the
determination of the LIBOR Rate for such Loan) relating to any extensions
of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of,
the Lender (including, without limitation, any of the Loan or any deposits
referred to in the definition of "LIBOR Base Rate" in SECTION 1.01; or
(iii) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or the
Note (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities).
If Lender requests compensation from Borrower under this SECTION 5.01(A),
Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall forward it to the
Lender), (A) suspend the obligation of Lender thereafter to make the Loan, until
the Regulatory Change giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in
which case the provisions of SECTION 5.03 shall be applicable), PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that such suspension shall not affect the right of Lender to receive
the compensation so requested, or (B) prepay the Loan in full (subject always to
SECTION 5.04).
(b) Without limiting the effect of the provisions of SECTION 5.01(A),
in the event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change, Lender either (i) incurs
Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of
the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of the Lender that
includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on the Loan is
determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit
or other assets of Lender that includes the Loan, or (ii) becomes subject to
restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it
may hold, then, if Lender so elects by notice to Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), the obligation of Lender to make the Loan hereunder shall
be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case
the provisions of SECTION 5.03 shall be applicable).
19
<PAGE>
(c) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this
SECTION 5.01 (but without duplication), Borrower shall pay from time to time on
request such amounts as Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate
Lender for any costs that it determines are attributable to maintenance by
Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office) or the Lender's holding company,
pursuant to any law, rule or regulation or any interpretation, guideline,
directive or request (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not
failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) of any court or governmental or
monetary authority (i) following any Regulatory Change, or (ii) implementing any
risk-based capital guideline or other requirement (whether or not having the
force of law and whether or not the failure to comply therewith would be
unlawful) heretofore or hereafter issued by any government or governmental or
supervisory authority implementing at the national level the Basle Accord, of
capital in respect of the Loan (such compensation to include, without
limitation, an amount equal to any reduction of the rate of return on assets or
equity of the Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office) or Lender's holding
company to a level below that which Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office)
or the Lender's holding company could have achieved but for such law,
regulation, interpretation, directive or request). For purposes of this SECTION
5.01(C), "Basle Accord" shall mean the proposals for risk-based capital
framework described by the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and
Supervisory Practices in its paper entitled "International Convergence of
Capital Measurement and Capital Standards," dated July 1988, as amended,
modified and supplemented and in effect from time to time or any replacement
thereof.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of any event
occurring after the date of this Agreement entitling Lender to compensation
under SECTION 5.01(A) or 5.01(C) as promptly as practicable after the
Administrative Agent obtains actual knowledge thereof. Lender will designate a
different Applicable Lending Office for the Loan affected by such event if such
designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation
and will not, in the sole opinion of Lender, be materially disadvantageous to
Lender; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Lender shall have no obligation to designate an
Applicable Lending Office located in the United States of America. Lender will
furnish to Borrower (through the Administrative Agent) a certificate setting
forth the basis and amount of each request by Lender for compensation under
SECTION 5.01(A) or 5.01(C). Determinations and allocations by Lender for
purposes of this SECTION 5.01 of the effect of any Regulatory Change pursuant to
SECTION 5.01(A) or SECTION 5.01(B), or of the effect of capital maintained
pursuant to SECTION 5.01(C), on its costs or rate of return of maintaining the
Loan or its obligation to make the Loan, or on amounts receivable by it in
respect of the Loan, and of the amounts required to compensate Lender under this
SECTION 5.01, shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of
manifest error; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such determinations and allocations are
made on a reasonable basis. Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for
the account of Lender, the amounts shown as due on any such certificate within
ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of the same. No failure on the part of
Lender to demand compensation under paragraph (a) or (c) above on any one
occasion shall constitute a waiver of its rights to
20
<PAGE>
demand compensation on any other occasion. The protection of this Section shall
be available to Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity
or inapplicability of any law, regulation or other condition which shall give
rise to any demand by such Lender for compensation thereunder. This covenant
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Note and
all other amounts payable hereunder.
SECTION 5.02 ILLEGALITY. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, if any change after the date hereof in Applicable law, guideline
or order, or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged
with the administration thereof, shall make it unlawful for Lender to honor its
obligations to make, maintain the Loan hereunder, then the Lender shall promptly
notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof and Lender's obligation to
make, maintain the Loan shall be suspended until such time as Lender may again
make and maintain the Loan (in which case the provisions of SECTION 5.03 shall
be Applicable).
SECTION 5.03 TREATMENT OF AFFECTED LOAN. If the obligation of
Lenders to make the Loan shall be suspended pursuant to SECTION 5.01 or 5.02,
Borrower may, by notice to Lender as provided in SECTION 4.04, elect to prepay
the Loan in full (subject always to SECTION 5.04).
SECTION 5.04 COMPENSATION.
(a) Borrower shall pay to Lender, upon the request of Lender, such
amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of Lender)
to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense that Lender determines is
attributable to any payment or mandatory or optional prepayment of the Loan for
any reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the maturity of
the Loan pursuant to ARTICLE IX) on a date other than the last day of an
Interest Period for the Loan.
Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, such compensation shall
include an amount as reasonably determined by Lender equal to the excess, if
any, of (A) the amount of interest, computed at a rate equal to the LIBOR Base
Rate, that otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so paid, prepaid
or not borrowed for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, or
failure to borrow to the last day of the then current Interest Period for the
Loan at the applicable rate of interest for the Loan provided for herein over
(B) the amount of interest that would have accrued for such period on such
principal amount at a rate per annum equal to the interest component of the
amount the Lender would have bid in the London interbank market for Dollar
deposits of leading banks in amounts comparable to such principal amount and
with maturities comparable to such period (as reasonably determined by the
Lender). Lender shall deliver to Borrower from time to time one or more
certificates setting forth the amount of such loss (and in reasonable detail the
manner of computation thereof) as determined by Lender, which certificates shall
be conclusive absent manifest error.
21
<PAGE>
(b) If Borrower fails to prepay the Loan on the date specified in any
prepayment notice delivered pursuant to SECTION 2.05 or 2.06, Borrower on demand
by Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of Lender any
amounts required to compensate Lender for any loss incurred by Lender as a
result of such failure to prepay, including, without limitation, any loss, cost
or expenses incurred by reason of the acquisition of deposits or other funds by
Lender to fulfill deposit obligations incurred in anticipation of such
prepayment. Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent from
time to time one or more certificates setting forth the amount of such loss (and
in reasonable detail the manner of computation thereof) as determined by Lender,
which certificates shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 5.05 WITHHOLDING TAXES.
(a) Unless otherwise provided in this SECTION 5.05, all payments made
by Borrower under this Agreement and the Note shall be made free and clear of,
and without deductions or withholding for or on account of, any present or
future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees,
deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected,
withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding, in the case of
the Administrative Agent and Lender, net income taxes and franchise taxes and
other taxes based upon net income imposed on the Administrative Agent or Lender,
as the case may be (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, dudes,
charges, fees, deductions and withholdings being hereinafter called "Taxes").
Subject to clauses (b) through (e) of this SECTION 5.05, if any Taxes are
required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or
Lender, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or Lender shall be
increased to the extent necessary to ensure that (after payment of all Taxes and
any other taxes including income taxes payable by the Administrative Agent or
Lender by reason of the receipt of such increased amount in any jurisdiction in
which the Administrative Agent or Lender is subject to tax) the Administrative
Agent or Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had
no such withholding been required. Whenever any Taxes are so required to be
withheld by Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter it shall pay such Taxes
to the relevant Governmental Authority and send to the Administrative Agent, for
its own account or for the account of Lender as the case may be, a certified
copy of an original official receipt received by Borrower showing payment
thereof. If Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing
authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or
other required documentary evidence, Borrower shall (in addition to the
foregoing) indemnify the Administrative Agent or Lender for any incremental
taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent
or Lender as a result of any such failure.
(b) The Administrative Agent and Lender shall, prior to the Closing
Date or (if later) the date of the initial Loan for the Lender, deliver to
Borrower and the Administrative Agent (i) two copies of a statement that it is
incorporated under the laws of the United States or a state thereof, containing
such information as is required
22
<PAGE>
by U.S. Treasury Regulation Section l.1441-5(b), together with two duly
completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor forms), or
(ii) if Lender is not incorporated under the laws of the United States or a
state thereof (A) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue
Service Form 1001 (and Form 8306 if required by applicable law) or 4224 or
successor applicable form, as the case may be, and (B) Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8 or W-9 or successor applicable form. The Administrative Agent and
Lender also agree to deliver to Borrower and (in the case of a Lender) the
Administrative Agent two further copies of the said Form 1001 (and Form 8306 if
required by applicable law) or 4224 and Form W-8 or W-9, or successor applicable
forms or other statement, form or manner of certification, as the case may be,
on or before the date that any such statement, form or other certification
expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a
change in or addition to the most recent statement, form or other certification
previously delivered by it to Borrower, and such extensions or renewals thereof
as may reasonably be requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, unless
in any such case any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred after the
Initial Date with respect to Lender and prior to the date on which any such
delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such statements, forms or
other certifications inapplicable or which would prevent Lender from duly
completing and delivering any such statement, form or other certification with
respect to it and Lender so advises Borrower and the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent and the Lender, as the case may be, shall certify (1) in
the case of a Form 1001 or 4224, that it is entitled to receive payments from
Borrower under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United
States federal income taxes, (2) in the case of a Form W-8 or W-9, that it is
entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax, and (3) in
the case of a Form 8306, that is a bona fide resident of the relevant foreign
country.
(c) If the Administrative Agent or Lender receives a refund in
respect of Taxes (whether directly or by way of offset) paid by Borrower (for
which Borrower has made additional payments pursuant to SECTION 5.05(A) to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be), it shall promptly pay
such refund to the Borrower; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Borrower agrees to promptly
return such refund to the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be,
after it receives notice from Lender that it is required to repay such refund.
(d) Borrower shall have no obligation to pay additional amounts
pursuant to clause (a) of this SECTION 5.05 to the Administrative Agent or
Lender with respect to Taxes to the extent that such Taxes or additional amounts
result from (i) the failure of Lender or the Administrative Agent to comply with
its obligations or agreements under this SECTION 5.05, or (ii) any
representation or warranty made in any certificate or otherwise by Lender or the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this SECTION 5.05 proving to have been
incorrect in any material respect when made.
(e) The agreements in this SECTION 5.05 shall survive the termination
of this Agreement and the payment of all obligations payable hereunder.
23
<PAGE>
(f) Each assignee of Lender's interest in this Agreement in
conformity with SECTION 11.06 shall be bound by this SECTION 5.05, so that such
assignee will have all of the obligations and provide all of the forms and
statements and all indemnities, representations and warranties required to be
given under this SECTION 5.05.
SECTION 5.06 INDEMNITY. Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to
hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender may sustain or incur
as a consequence of (a) default by Borrower in making any prepayment after
Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement or (b) the making of a prepayment on a day which is not the last day
of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an
amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would
have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, for the period from
the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow to the last day of such
Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period
that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the
applicable rate of interest for the Loan provided for herein (excluding,
however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any), over (ii) the amount
of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued
to Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable
period with leading lenders in the interbank eurodollar market. This covenant
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Note and
all other amounts payable hereunder.
SECTION 5.07 DUTY TO MITIGATE.
(a) Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes
aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that has
caused it to be affected under SECTION 5.01, 5.02 or 5.05, Lender shall give
notice thereof to Borrower and, to the extent so requested by Borrower and not
inconsistent with Lender's internal policies, Lender shall use reasonable
efforts (including reasonable efforts to change the office in which it is
booking the relevant Loan) to materially reduce any amounts which might
otherwise be payable pursuant to SECTION 5.01, 5.02 or 5.05; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on Lender of any additional
costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by Lender to be material or
otherwise reasonably expected by Lender to be materially disadvantageous to it.
(b) If such reasonable efforts pursuant to SECTION 5.07(A) are
insufficient to eliminate the amounts which are payable pursuant to SECTION
5.01, 5.02 or 5.05, as the case may be, then Borrower may (but subject in any
such case to the payments required by SECTION 5.04), provided that there shall
exist no Default or Event of Default, upon at least five (5) Business Days'
prior written or telephonic notice to Lender and the Administrative Agent,
identify to the Administrative Agent a lending institution (which may be a
Lender) to purchase Lender's outstanding Loan hereunder and, subject to the
approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be
24
<PAGE>
unreasonably withheld) and such alternate lending institution, Lender shall
transfer its Loan owing to such Lender and the Note held by such Lender to such
alternate lending institution (at a price not in excess of par) pursuant to the

and the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in clause

Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, after taking into account
all other anticipated uses of the cash of such Person (including the payments on

consolidated basis will not have incurred and do not intend to, or believe that

and profits or other income from the Mortgaged Property, which business
interruption insurance and/or rental loss insurance shall cover such losses for
a period of at least twelve (12) months after the date of the fire or other
casualty in question. The amount of such insurance shall be increased from time

Property;

required by Lender in order to protect its interests.

any modification, termination or cancellation of the applicable Policy; and (v)
shall be satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and shall be approved by
Lender as to amounts, form, risk coverage, deductibles, loss payees and

ARTICLE X
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
SECTION 10.01 APPOINTMENT. The general administration of the Credit
Facility Documents and any other documents contemplated by this Agreement shall
be by the Administrative Agent or its designees. Lender hereby irrevocably
designates and appoints PSC as the Administrative Agent of such Lender under
this Agreement and the other Credit Facility Documents, and Lender irrevocably
authorizes PSC as the Administrative Agent for such Lender, at its discretion,
to take or refrain from taking such action on its behalf under the provisions of
this Agreement and the other Credit Facility Documents and to exercise or
refrain from exercising such powers and perform such duties as are expressly
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the
other Credit Facility Documents, together with which other powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties
or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary
relationship with Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities,
duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any
other Credit Facility Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative
Agent.
SECTION 10.02 DELEGATION OF DUTIES. The Administrative Agent may
execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Credit Facility
Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to
advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The

of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
5O
<PAGE>
SECTION 10.03 EXCULPATORY PROVISIONS.
(a) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (i)
liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person
under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Facility
Document, or responsible to Lender or to any of them for the consequences of any
oversight or error of judgment, or for any loss, unless the same shall happen
through its or such Person's own gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or (ii)
responsible in any manner to Lender for any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties made by Borrower or any officer thereof contained
in this Agreement or any other Credit Facility Document or in any certificate,
report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received
by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any
other Credit Facility Document or for the due execution, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, the
Note, or any other Credit Facility Document, or for the perfection of any
security interest contemplated by this Agreement, any Credit Facility Document
or any related agreement, document or order, or for the designation or failure
to designate this transaction as a '"Highly Leveraged Transaction for regulatory
purposes, or for any failure of Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or
under any other Credit Facility Document. The Administrative Agent shall not be
under any obligation to Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance
or performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained in, or teens or
conditions of, this Agreement or any other Credit Facility Document or to
inspect the Property, books or records of Borrower.
(b) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors,
officers, employees, or agents shall have any responsibility to Borrower on
account of the failure or delay in performance or breach by Lender or Borrower
of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement or the Note or any
related agreement or document or in connection herewith or therewith.
SECTION 10.04 RELIANCE BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. The Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon
any Note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter,
telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or
conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed,
sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and it shall be entitled to rely
upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation,
counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by
the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee
of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of
assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in
failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Credit
Facility Document unless it shall first receive such
51
<PAGE>
advice or concurrence of Lender as it deems appropriate or it shall first be
indemnified to its satisfaction by Lender against any and all liability and
expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take
any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected
in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement, the Note and the
other Credit Facility Documents in accordance with a request of Lender, and any
such request and any action ken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be
binding upon Lender and all future holders of the Note.
SECTION 10.05 NOTICE OF DEFAULT. The Administrative Agent shall not
be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event
of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from
Lender or Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event
of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default." In the event
that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent
shall give notice thereof to Lender. The Administrative Agent shall take such
action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably
directed by Lender; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that unless and until the Administrative
Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but
shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action,
with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in
the best interests of Lender.
SECTION 10.06 NON-RELIANCE ON ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND OTHER LENDERS.
Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of
its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorney-in-fact or Affiliates has
made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the
Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of
Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the
Administrative Agent to Lender. Lender represents to the Administrative Agent
that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent,
and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made
its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, Property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and made its own
decision to make the Loan hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Lender also
represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent, and based on such documents and information as it shall
deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis,
appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and
the other Credit Facility Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems
necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, Property, condition
(financial
52
<PAGE>
or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of Borrower. Except for notices,
reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to Lender by the
Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty
or responsibility to provide Lender with any credit or other information
concerning the business, operations, Property, condition (financial or
otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of Borrower which may come into the
possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
SECTION 10.07 REIMBURSEMENT AND INDEMNIFICATION. Lender agrees (i) to
reimburse the Administrative Agent for any expenses and fees incurred for the
benefit of Lender under the Credit Facility Documents, including, without
limitation, counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees paid for
services rendered on behalf of Lender, and any other expense incurred in
connection with the operations or enforcement thereof not reimbursed by Borrower
or one of its Subsidiaries, and (ii) to indemnify the Administrative Agent and
any of its directors, officers, employees or agents, upon demand (to the extent
not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do
so), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any
kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any
time following the payment of the Note) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against it or them in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any
of the other Credit Facility Documents or any documents contemplated by or
referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
or any action taken or omitted by it or them under or in connection with any of
the foregoing; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Lender shall not be liable for the
payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting
solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person seeking
indemnification. The agreements in this SECTION 10.07 shall survive the payment
of the Note and all other amounts payable hereunder.
SECTION 10.08 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY. The
Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make Loan to, accept deposits from
and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower as though the
Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the
other Credit Facility Documents. With respect to the Loan made or renewed by it
and the Note issued to it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights
and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Facility Documents as
Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent,
and the term "Lender" shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual
capacity.
SECTION 10.09 SUCCESSOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.
(a) The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Holder may resign as
Administrative Agent and Collateral Holder at any time by giving written notice
thereof to Lender. If the Administrative Agent or Collateral Holder shall resign
as Administrative Agent or Collateral Holder, as the case may be, under this
Agreement and the other Credit Facility Documents, then Lender shall appoint
from among Lender a successor agent or Collateral Holder for Lender, which
successor
53
<PAGE>
agent shall be approved by Borrower, whereupon such successor agent or
Collateral Holder shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the
Administrative Agent or Collateral Holder, as the case may be, and the terms
"Administrative Agent" or "Collateral Holder" shall mean such successor agent or
Collateral Holder effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former
Administrative Agent's or Collateral Holder's rights, powers and duties as
Administrative Agent or Collateral Holder, as the case may be, shall be
terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former
Administrative Agent or Collateral Holder or any of the parties to this
Agreement or any holders of the Note. If no successor Administrative Agent shall
have been so appointed by Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment,
within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent's giving of
notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of
Lender, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, with the consent of Borrower,
which will not be unreasonably withheld, which shall be a commercial bank
organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof
and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000. After any
retiring Administrative Agent's or Collateral Holder's resignation, the
provisions of this ARTICLE X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken
or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or Collateral
Holder, as the case may be, under this Agreement and the other Credit Facility
Documents.
(b) PSC may at any time and from time to time assign to any of its
Affiliates all or any part of its rights or obligations as Administrative Agent
and/or Collateral Agent under this Agreement, the Note and the other Credit
Facility Documents. Any such assignment shall not be deemed a resignation for
purposes of SECTION 10.09(A).
SECTION 10.10 COLLATERAL HOLDER.
(a) Except for action expressly required of the Collateral Holder
hereunder and under the other Credit Facility Documents, the Collateral Holder
shall in all cases be fully justified in refusing to act hereunder and
thereunder unless it shall be further indemnified to its satisfaction by Lender
proportionately in accordance with the Obligations then due and payable to each
of them against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by
reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
(b) Except as expressly provided herein, the Collateral Holder shall
have no duty to take any affirmative steps with respect to the collection of
amounts payable in respect of the Collateral. The Collateral Holder shall incur
no liability as a result of any private sale of the Collateral.
(c) Lender hereby consent, and agree upon written request by the
Collateral Holder, to execute and deliver such instruments and other documents
as the Collateral Holder may deem desirable to confirm such consent, to the
release of
54
<PAGE>
the Liens and security interests in the Collateral, including any release in
connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral or any
part thereof in accordance with the Credit Facility Documents.
(d) The Collateral Holder shall be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its
possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that
which the Collateral Holder accords its own Property, it being understood that
neither the Collateral Holder nor any Lender shall have responsibility for (a)
ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges,
maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether nor not
the Collateral Holder or any Lender has or is deemed to have knowledge of such
matters, or (b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any
parties with respect to any Collateral.

obligations under this Agreement, the Note or any other Credit Facility Document
without the prior written consent of Lender.
(b) Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in
accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more Lenders only to
bona fide financial institutions ("PARTICIPANTS") participating interests in the
Loan owing to such Lender, the Note held by such Lender; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
prior to any such sale by Lender to any Participant, Lender shall provide
written notice to Borrower of Lender's intention to sell a participating
interest to such Participant and the name of such Participant. In the event of
any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (i)
Lender's obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement
shall remain unchanged, (ii) Lender shall remain solely responsible for the
performance thereof, (iii) Lender shall remain the holder of Note for all
purposes under this Agreement and the other Credit Facility Documents, (iv)
Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly
with Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Credit Facility Documents, and (v) such Participant
shall have no right to enforce the obligations of Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries relating to the Loan hereunder (other than under SECTION 5.01) or
to approve (or refrain from approving) any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement (other than any amendment, modification or
waiver decreasing any fees payable hereunder or the amount of principal of or
the rate at which interest is payable on the Loan, extending any scheduled
installment of the Loan or any date scheduled for payment of interest on the
Loan or any fees, or relating to the release of all or substantially all the
Collateral; PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, in the case of any of the foregoing, that
the interests held by such Participant are directly affected by such amendment,
modification or waiver). Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this
Agreement and the Note are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall
have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each
Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its
participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and the Note to the
same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly
to it as a Lender under this Agreement or the Note; PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER,
that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be
deemed to have agreed to share with Lender the proceeds thereof as provided in
SECTION 11.07 as fully as if it were a Lender hereunder. Borrower also agrees
that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of SECTIONS 5.01, 5.05,
5.06 and 11.03(B)(I) with respect to its participation in the Loan outstanding
from time to time as if it was a Lender; PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that (A)
such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Sections and
of SECTION 5.07 (as if such Participant were, for purposes of said SECTION 5.07,
a Lender hereunder), and (B) no Participant shall be entitled to receive any
greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would
have been entitled to receive in respect of
59
<PAGE>
the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such
Participant had no such transfer occurred. Each Participant will agree to keep
information confidential to the same extent as the transferor Lender was so
required.
(c) Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in
accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign to any
of its Affiliates or to any Lender or any Affiliate thereof or to any bona fide
financial institution (an "ASSIGNEE") all or any part of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement the Note and the other Credit Facility
Documents pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form of
EXHIBIT D, executed by such Assignee, such assigning Lender and, in the case of
an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an Affiliate thereof, by the
Administrative Agent and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its
acceptance and recording in the Register; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, except (i) in
the case of an assignment to another Lender, or (ii) with the consent of
Borrower, each such assignment shall be in an amount equal to not less than
$5,000,000; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that prior to any such assignment by Lender to
any Assignee, Lender shall provide written notice to Borrower of Lender's
intention to make an assignment to such Assignee and the name of such Assignee.
Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the
effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the
Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such
Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder
with a Commitment as set forth therein, and (B) the assigning Lender hereunder
shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released
from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights
and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be
party hereto). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an
Assignee shall be entitled to the benefits of SECTIONS 5.01 and 5.05 only if it
shall have complied with the requirements of said Sections (and also complied
with the requirements of SECTION 5.07.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred
to in SECTION 11 .02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it
and a register (the "REGISTER") for the recordation of the names and addresses
of Lender and the commitment of, and principal amount of the Loan owing to, each
Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in
the absence of manifest error, and Borrower, the Administrative Agent and Lender
may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the
Loan recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be
available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and

advisors, regulators and similar Persons, disclosure pursuant to law or legal
process, disclosure following the public dissemination of such information by
another Person and disclosure of information provided to such Transferee or
prospective Transferee by a third party); and PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that,

law.
SECTION 11.07 ADJUSTMENTS. If any Lender (a "BENEFITTED LENDER")

involuntarily, through the exercise of a right of bank's lien, setoff or
counterclaim against Borrower, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature
referred to in ARTICLE IX(H), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any

each of Lender: PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if all or any portion of such excess
payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such
purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to
the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

each representation and warranty made, or deemed to be made by a notice of the
Loan hereunder, in the other Credit Facility Documents and in any document,
certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith
shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and Lender shall
not be deemed to have waived, by reason of making the Loan, any Default which
may arise by reason of such representation or warranty proving to have been
false or misleading, notwithstanding that Lender may have had notice or
knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or
misleading at the time such Loan was made.

Mortgage to Mortgagee against the claims of all persons whomsoever.

imposed against the mortgaged Property or any part thereof (collectively, the
"TAXES"), and all ground rents, utility charges, maintenance charges, other
governmental impositions, and all other liens or charges whatsoever which may be
or become a lien or charge against the Mortgaged Property (including without

Charges have been paid prior to the same becoming delinquent.
(b) After prior written notice to Mortgagee, Mortgagor, at its own
expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and

proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the

7. CONDEMNATION. Mortgagor shall promptly give Mortgagee written notice
of the actual or threatened commencement of any exercise of a right of
condemnation or eminent domain affecting all or any part of the Mortgaged
Property (each such event being hereinafter referred to as a "CONDEMNATION") ,
and shall deliver to Mortgagee copies of any and all papers served in connection
with any such Condemnation. Notwithstanding any taking (including but not
limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of
such taking) of all or any part of the Mortgaged property through a
Condemnation, Mortgagor shall continue to pay the Indebtedness at the time and
in the manner provided for its payment in the Note, this Mortgage and the other
Credit Facility Documents, and the Indebtedness shall not be reduced
5
<PAGE>
until any award or payment therefor shall have been actually received and
applied by Mortgagee (after deducting any expenses of collection) to the
Indebtedness. Mortgagee shall not be limited to the rate of interest paid on
any such award or payment from a Condemnation but shall be entitled to receive
out of such award or payment interest at the rate then applicable under the
Note. Mortgagor shall cause any award or payment payable to Mortgagor in any
Condemnation to be paid directly to Mortgagee. If the proceeds from any
Condemnation (or series of related Condemnations) are less than $1,000,000, then
if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such proceeds
shall be paid to Mortgagor and may be used by Mortgagor for any lawful purpose.
If the proceeds from any Condemnation (or series of related Condemnations) are
in excess of $1,000,000, either (A) Mortgagor shall apply such proceeds towards
an improvement of the property which is the subject of the Condemnation, in a
manner reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee and shall reasonably document such
improvements to Mortgagee, or, (B) if Mortgagor chooses not to apply such
proceeds towards improvement of the Mortgaged Property which is the subject of
the Condemnation, Mortgagee shall apply any such award or payment (after
deducting any expenses of collection) to the reduction or discharge of the
Indebtedness (whether or not then due and payable). If the Mortgaged Property
is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Mortgagee of
any such award or payment, Mortgagee shall have the right, whether or not a
deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to
receive said award or payment, or a portion thereof sufficient to fully satisfy
the Indebtedness.
8. LEASES AND RENTS. Mortgagor does hereby absolutely and
unconditionally assign to Mortgagee all current and future Leases and Rents, it
being intended by Mortgagor that this assignment constitutes a present, absolute
assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. The terms and
conditions of this assignment shall be governed by the Assignment of Leases and
Rents (the "ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES") executed by Mortgagor in favor of Mortgagee
contemporaneously with this Mortgage. Except as permitted pursuant to the
Assignment of Leases, Mortgagor shall not enter into any future Leases of all or
any part of the Mortgaged Property.
9. MAINTENANCE, USE AND MANAGEMENT OF MORTGAGED PROPERTY.
(a) Mortgagor shall cause the Mortgaged Property to be maintained in a
good and safe condition and repair. The Improvements and the Equipment shall
not be removed, demolished or materially altered (except for normal replacement
of the Equipment) without the consent of Mortgagee, not to be unreasonably
withheld. Mortgagor shall promptly comply with all laws, orders and ordinances
affecting the Mortgaged Property, or the use thereof, except that Mortgagor
shall be permitted to contest any change or proposed change thereto under the
same terms and conditions as permitted in paragraph 5(b), above. Mortgagor
shall promptly repair, replace or rebuild any part of the Mortgaged Property
which may be destroyed by any Casualty, become damaged, worn or dilapidated or
which may be affected by any Condemnation, and shall also complete and pay for
any structure at any time in the process of construction or repair on the
Premises. Unless Mortgagee otherwise consents in writing, Mortgagor shall not
initiate, join in,
6
<PAGE>
acquiesce in or consent to any change in any private restrictive covenant,
replat, easement, zoning law or other public or private restriction, limiting or
defining the uses which may be made of the Mortgaged Property or any part
thereof. If under applicable zoning provisions the use of all or any portion of
the Mortgaged Property is or shall become a nonconforming use, Mortgagor will
not cause or permit such nonconforming use to be discontinued or abandoned
without the express written consent of Mortgagee.
(b) Mortgagor shall use and continuously operate and permit the use
and continuous operation of the Premises and the Improvements as provided for in
Mortgagor's original loan application to Mortgagee.
(c) Unless Mortgagee otherwise consents in writing, Mortgagor shall
not initiate, join in, acquiesce in or consent to the removal or resignation of
the managing agent for the Mortgaged Property or the transfer of ownership,
management or control of such managing agent to a person or entity other than
Mortgagor or the general partner or managing partner of Mortgagor.
10. SALE OF MORTGAGED PROPERTY.
(a) Mortgagor acknowledges that Mortgagee has examined and relied on
the creditworthiness and experience of the constituent Mortgagors in agreeing to
make the loan secured hereby, and that Mortgagee has a valid interest in
maintaining the value of the Mortgaged Property so as to ensure that should
Mortgagor default in the repayment of the Indebtedness, Mortgagee can recover
the Indebtedness by a sale of the Mortgaged Property.
(b) Mortgagor may not transfer the Mortgaged Property except as may
be permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
11. NO OTHER ENCUMBRANCES PERMITTED. Except for financing liens placed
against the Mortgagor's inventory in the normal course of business, Mortgagor
shall not, directly or indirectly, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber,
assign or otherwise place a lien or security interest against the Mortgaged
Property without in each instance obtaining the prior written consent of
Mortgagee, which consent may be given or withheld by Mortgagee in each instance
in its sole discretion. If Mortgagee does consent to any additional mortgages
or liens, it may require the modification of this Mortgage, payment of an
administrative fee in an amount determined by Mortgagee and such other
conditions as Mortgagee shall determine in its sole discretion. Mortgagee shall
not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any
increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Indebtedness
immediately due and payable upon such encumbrance. This provision shall apply
to every sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer
of the Mortgaged Property regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or
not Mortgagee has consented to any previous sale, conveyance, alienation,
mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Mortgaged Property.

without expense to Mortgagee, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every
such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, assignments, notices of

mortgages or other instruments, to evidence or perfect more effectively the
security interest of Mortgagee in the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor grants to
Mortgagee an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the

21. RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default,
or if Mortgagor fails to make any payment or to do any act as herein required,
Mortgagee may do such acts or make such payments in Mortgagor's stead, in such
manner and to the extent that Mortgagee may deem necessary to protect the
security hereof. Any such acts or payments by Mortgagee shall be at Mortgagee's
sole discretion, may be taken without notice to or demand on Mortgagor, and will
not release Mortgagor from any obligation hereunder. Mortgagee is authorized to
enter upon the Mortgaged Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend or
bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Mortgaged

Indebtedness. All such costs and expenses (including attorney fees) incurred by
Mortgagee in remedying any such Event of Default, in acting or making payments
in Mortgagor's stead, or in appearing in, defending or bringing any of the
foregoing actions or proceedings, shall bear interest at the Default Rate from
the date incurred by Mortgagee until the date of payment to Mortgagee. All such
costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee together with interest thereon
calculated at the above rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the
Indebtedness and be secured by this Mortgage and the other Credit Facility
Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Mortgagee
therefor.
22. NON-DISTURBANCE OF TENANTS. Provided a tenant of the Mortgaged
Property is not in default under the terms of its Lease, Mortgagee agrees that
in the event it acquires title to all or a portion of the Mortgaged Property by
reason of a foreclosure, the tenant's possession and occupancy of the Mortgaged
Property and the tenant's rights and privileges under its Lease during the term
thereof (including any renewal term) shall not be disturbed and Mortgagee shall
recognize the Lease and tenant's rights thereunder.
23. MORTGAGEE'S REMEDIES.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default
(beyond the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods), Mortgagee may
take such actions against Mortgagor and/or against any Mortgaged Property or any
portion thereof or with respect to all of the Mortgaged Property or any portion
thereof as Mortgagee determines is necessary to protect and enforce its rights
hereunder, without notice or demand except as set forth below. Any such actions
taken by Mortgagee shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued
independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in
such order as Mortgagee may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other
rights and remedies of Mortgagee permitted by law, equity or con-
10
<PAGE>
tract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Such actions may
include the following:
(a) ACCELERATION. Subject to and in accordance with any applicable

balance of the Loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and
all other unpaid Indebtedness, may be declared to be immediately due and
payable.

personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys, and may dispossess Mortgagor
and its agents and servants therefrom, and thereupon Mortgagee may: (i) use,

with all and every portion of any Mortgaged Property and conduct business
thereon, in any case either in the name of Mortgagee or in such other name as
Mortgagee shall in its reasonable discretion deem advisable; (ii) exercise all
rights and powers of Mortgagor with respect to any Mortgaged Property whether in
the name of Mortgagor or otherwise, including the right to enter into, cancel,

the receipts of all such Rents with respect to said Mortgaged Property to the
payment of the Indebtedness in such order as Mortgagee shall determine in its
sole discretion, after deducting therefrom all costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with the
aforesaid operations.
(c) FORECLOSURE. Mortgagee may institute proceedings for the
complete or partial foreclosure of this Mortgage against all or any portion of
the Mortgaged Property, in which case any Mortgaged Property or any portion
thereof may be sold for cash or upon credit, as an entirety or in parcels or
portions. Mortgagee may institute proceedings for the partial foreclosure of
this Mortgage against all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property for the
portion of the Indebtedness which is then due and payable, subject to the
continuing lien of this Mortgage on the remainder of the Mortgaged Property for
the balance of the Indebtedness not then due, and in the event of the
foreclosure or other action by Mortgagee to enforce its remedies in connection
with one (l) or more of the Mortgaged Properties or all or any portion of the
Mortgaged Property, regardless of the Net Proceeds received in connection with
such foreclosure sale (or other remedy), all Net Proceeds received shall be
applied to repay the Indebtedness, the Indebtedness shall be reduced to the
extent of such Net Proceeds and the remaining portion of the Indebtedness shall
remain outstanding and secured by this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, it
being understood and agreed by Mortgagor that Mortgagor is liable for the
repayment of the Indebtedness and that any "excess" foreclosure proceeds are
part of the cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted security granted to
Mortgagee pursuant to this Mortgage.
NET PROCEEDS: Shall mean (i) either (x) the purchase price (at
foreclosure or otherwise) actually received by Mortgagee with respect
to one or more Individual Properties as a result of the exercise by
Mortgagee of its rights, powers, privileges and other remedies after
the occurrence of an Event of Default, or (y) in the event
11
<PAGE>
that Mortgagee (or Mortgagee's nominee) is the purchaser at
foreclosure of all or a portion of the Mortgaged Property) by credit
bid, then the purchase price received by Mortgagee (in either case,
the "PURCHASE PRICE") shall be the amount actually received by
Mortgagee upon its ultimate disposition of the applicable Mortgaged
Property so acquired by credit bid, in either case less (ii) all costs
and expenses, including, without limitation, all brokerage fees, if
applicable, appraisal fees, architect, engineer, environmental
consultant and other professional fees and reasonable attorneys' fees
and disbursements incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the
exercise of such remedies and in connection with its efforts to
dispose of the Mortgaged Property in question (including without
limitation the cost to repair and restore the same in preparation for
sale) and in connection with the ultimate disposition of the Mortgaged
Property in question and all operating expenses of such Mortgaged
Property; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such costs and expenses shall not be
deducted from such Purchase Price to the extent such amounts
previously have been added to the Indebtedness in accordance with the
terms of this Mortgage or applicable law or otherwise paid by or on
behalf of Mortgagor from sources other than foreclosure or sales
proceeds. Nothing herein providing a credit for Net Proceeds against
the Indebtedness in connection with a foreclosure of any Mortgaged
Property shall be construed to prevent or delay the simultaneous or
subsequent foreclosure of any other Mortgaged Property.
(d) SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. Mortgagee, in its sole and absolute
discretion, may institute any action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity for
the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained
herein or in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or in aid of the
execution of any power granted hereunder or for the enforcement of any other
appropriate legal or equitable remedy.
(e) ENFORCEMENT OF NOTES. Subject to and in accordance with any
applicable provisions of the Notes and the Credit Agreement, Mortgagee may
recover judgment on the Note (or any portion of the Indebtedness evidenced
thereby), either before, during or after any proceedings for the foreclosure (or
partial foreclosure) or enforcement of this Mortgage.
(f) APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER. Mortgagee as a matter of right, without
notice, may secure the appointment of a receiver, trustee or liquidator of any
Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof, and Mortgagor hereby irrevocably
consents and agrees to such appointment, without regard to the value of its
Mortgaged Property or the adequacy of the security for the Indebtedness and
without regard to the solvency of Mortgagor or any other Person liable for the
payment of the Indebtedness, and such receiver or other official shall have all
rights and powers permitted by applicable law and such other rights and powers
as the court making such appointment may confer, but the appointment of such
receiver or other official shall not impair or in any manner prejudice the
rights of Mortgagee to receive the Rents with respect to any of the Mortgaged
Property pursuant to this Mortgage.
12
<PAGE>
(g) UCC REMEDIES. Mortgagee may exercise any or all of the remedies
available to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (as hereinafter
defined).
(h) PARTIAL FORECLOSURE. In the event of the foreclosure of this
Mortgage as it relates to all or any portion of an Mortgaged Property or
Mortgaged Properties, or other transfer of title to or assignment of all or any
portion of such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties in extinguishment of
all or any portion of the Indebtedness, all right, title and interest of
Mortgagor in and to all policies of insurance required by this Mortgage (to the
extent same relate to such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties) and any
insurance Proceeds (to the extent same relate to such Mortgaged Property or
Mortgaged Properties) shall inure to the benefit of and pass to Mortgagee or any
purchaser(s) or transferee(s) of such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged
Properties.
(i) EFFECT OF JUDGMENT. No recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee and
no levy of an execution under any judgment upon one (1) or more Mortgaged
Properties or any portion thereof or upon any other property of Mortgagor shall
adversely affect in any manner or to any extent the lien of this Mortgage upon
the remaining Mortgaged Properties or any portion thereof, or any rights, powers
or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder. Such lien, rights, powers and remedies of
Mortgagee shall continue unimpaired as before.
(j) CONTINUING POWER OF SALE. The power of sale conferred upon
Mortgagee in this Mortgage shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales as to
any portion of the Mortgaged Property remaining unsold, but shall continue
unimpaired until all of the Mortgaged Property is sold or all of the
Indebtedness is paid in full.
(k) RIGHT TO PURCHASE. At any sale of any Mortgaged Property or any
portion thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall
have the right to purchase such Mortgaged Property (or such portion thereof)
being sold, and in such case shall have the right to credit against the amount
of the bid made therefor (to the extent necessary) all or any portion of the
amounts referred to in clauses (a) through (c) of Section 24.
(l) RIGHT TO TERMINATE PROCEEDINGS. Mortgagee may terminate or
rescind any proceeding or other action brought in connection with its exercise
of the remedies provided herein at any time before the conclusion thereof, as
determined in Mortgagee's sole discretion and without prejudice to Mortgagee.
(m) JOINT AND SEVERAL GRANTS OF MORTGAGED PROPERTY. It is intended
that the grants of the Mortgaged Properties contained herein shall each be
construed and treated as a separate, distinct grant for the purpose of securing
the entire Indebtedness secured hereunder in the same manner as though each of
the Mortgaged Property was mortgaged and transferred to Mortgagee by a separate
and distinct mortgage and security agreement, so that if it should at any time
appear or be held that this Mortgage fails to transfer to Mortgagee the title to
or encumber and constitute a lien upon any of the Mortgaged Property, or any
part thereof, as against creditors
13
<PAGE>
of Mortgagor, other than Mortgagee or otherwise, such failure shall not operate
to affect in any way the transfer or encumbrance of the other Mortgaged Property
or any part thereof; but nothing herein contained shall be construed as
requiring the Mortgagee to resort to any Mortgaged Property for the satisfaction
of the Indebtedness hereby secured in preference or priority to any other
Mortgaged Property or the remainder of the Mortgaged Property here-by conveyed,
but Mortgagee may seek satisfaction out of all of the Mortgaged Property or any
part thereof, in its absolute discretion.
(n) CERTAIN ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION. After acceleration of the
Indebtedness, and in the event of the foreclosure of this Mortgage as it relates
to all or any portion of a Mortgaged Property, Mortgagee shall have the right
(at any time after commencement but prior to completion of foreclosure
proceedings with respect to any such Mortgaged Property) to commission the
conduct of a Phase I Environmental Study (a "PHASE I STUDY") by a duly licensed
Environmental Consultant (a "CONSULTANT") with respect to such Mortgaged
Property being so foreclosed upon. The right to conduct a Phase I Study shall
not include the right to collect soil samples, groundwater samples, or other
intrusive environmental testing (collectively, "PHASE II TESTING"), unless the
Consultant determines, as a result of the Phase I Study, that such Phase II
Testing is necessary to evaluate an environmental condition which could
materially adversely affect Mortgagee's security interest in Mortgaged Property
or is likely to be in violation of applicable Environmental Law. Mortgagor
agrees to bear the actual cost of a Phase I Study relating to its Mortgaged
Property, provided that Mortgagor shall only be required to reimburse Mortgagee
for no more than the cost of one Phase I Study with respect to each Mortgaged
Property, together with one Phase II Testing if recommended by the Consultant
after completion of the Phase I Study.
(o) OTHER RIGHTS. Mortgagee may pursue against Mortgagor any other
rights and remedies of Mortgagee permitted by law, equity or contract or as set
forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.
24. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. The proceeds of any sale or foreclosure of
any Mortgaged Property shall be applied in the following order of priority: (a)
to the payment of the costs and expenses of the foreclosure proceedings
(including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and
advertising costs and expenses), liabilities and advances made or incurred under
this Mortgage and receivers' and trustees' fees and commissions, together with
interest at Post-Default Rate, from and after the date on which such sums are
advanced by Mortgagee, (b) to the payment of all sums due under the Credit
Agreement and the Notes in such order as described therein, and (d) to the
payment of all sums due under any other Loan Document in such order as described
in the Credit Agreement, and (e) to the payment of any surplus to the party or
parties legally entitled thereto.
25. CHANGES IN THE LAWS REGARDING TAXATION. If any law is enacted or
adopted or amended after the date of this Mortgage which deducts the
Indebtedness from the value of the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of
taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or
14
<PAGE>
indirectly, on the Indebtedness or Mortgagee's interest in the Mortgaged
Property, Mortgagor will pay such tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if
any. In the event Mortgagee is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment
of such tax or interest and penalties by Mortgagor would be unlawful or taxable
to Mortgagee or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury, then
in any such event, Mortgagee shall have the option, by written notice of not
less than ninety (90) days, to declare the entire Indebtedness immediately due
and payable; provided, however, that no Prepayment Consideration shall be
required solely as a result of a prepayment required by any such declaration.
26. NO CREDITS ON ACCOUNT OF THE INDEBTEDNESS. Mortgagor will not claim
or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Indebtedness
for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed against the Mortgaged
Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or
claimed from the assessed value of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof,
for real estate tax purposes by reason of this Mortgage or the Indebtedness. In
the event such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by law, Mortgagee
shall have the option, by written notice of not less than ninety (90) days, to
declare the entire Indebtedness immediately due and payable; provided, however,
that no Prepayment Consideration shall be required solely as a result of a
prepayment required by any such declaration.
27. DOCUMENTARY STAMPS. If at any time the United States of America, any
State thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or
other stamps to be affixed to the Note or this Mortgage, or impose any other tax
or charge on the same, Mortgagor will pay for the same, with interest and
penalties thereon, if any.
28. BLANKET LIEN. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
blanket lien created by this Mortgage is intended to encumber each Mortgaged
Property and all of the Mortgaged Property on a joint and several basis to the
full extent of the Indebtedness and the Obligations. An original counterpart of
this Mortgage shall be executed by every Mortgagor and recorded in each county
where Mortgaged Property is located.
29. RIGHT OF ENTRY. Mortgagee and its agents shall have the right to
enter and inspect the Mortgaged Property at all reasonable times. Prior to the
occurrence of an Event of Default, such entry and inspection shall not be
conducted without prior notice to Mortgagor.
30. REASONABLE USE AND OCCUPANCY. In addition to the rights which
Mortgagee may have herein, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default,
Mortgagee, at its option, may require Mortgagor to pay monthly in advance to
Mortgagee, or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and
reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of such part of the Mortgaged
Property as may be occupied by Mortgagor, or may require Mortgagor to vacate and
surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee or to such receiver
and, in default thereof, Mortgagor may be evicted by summary proceedings or
otherwise.
15
<PAGE>
31. SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Mortgage is both a real property mortgage
and a "security agreement" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code
adopted and enacted by the State of New Jersey (the "UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE"),
made by and between Mortgagor, as Debtor, and Mortgagee, as secured party.
Mortgagor by executing and delivering this Mortgage has granted and hereby
grants to Mortgagee, as security for the Indebtedness, a security interest in
the Mortgaged property to the full extent that the Mortgaged Property may be
subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the Mortgaged Property
so subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being herein referred to as the
"COLLATERAL"). If an Event of Default shall occur, Mortgagee, in addition to
any other rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and may exercise
immediately and without demand any and all rights and remedies granted to a
secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the
Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Mortgagee may
deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral.
Upon request or demand of Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall at its expense assemble the
Collateral and make it available to Mortgagee at a convenient place acceptable
to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee on demand any and all expenses,
including legal expenses and attorney fees, incurred or paid by Mortgagee in
protecting the interest in the Collateral and in enforcing Mortgagee's rights
hereunder with respect to the Collateral. Any notice of sale, disposition or
other intended action by Mortgagee with respect to the Collateral sent to
Mortgagor in accordance with the provisions hereof at least five (5) days prior
to such action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Mortgagor.
The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may be
applied by Mortgagee to the payment of the Indebtedness in such priority and
proportions as Mortgagee in its discretion shall deem proper.
32. ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. Mortgagee has the right to appear in and
defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Mortgaged Property
and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Mortgagor,
which Mortgagee, in its discretion, decides should be brought to protect its
interest in the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagee shall, at its option, be
subrogated to the lien of any deed of trust, mortgage or other security
instrument discharged in whole or in part by the Indebtedness, and any such
subrogation rights shall constitute additional security for the payment of the
Indebtedness.
33. WAIVER OF COUNTERCLAIM. Mortgagor hereby waives the right to assert a
counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action
or proceeding brought against it by Mortgagee, and, to the extent permitted by
law, waives trial by jury in any action or proceeding brought by either party
hereto against the other or in any counterclaim asserted by Mortgagee against
Mortgagor, or in any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected
with this Mortgage, the Note, any of the other Credit Facility Documents or the
Indebtedness.
34. RECOVERY OF SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID. Mortgagee shall have the right
from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which constitute a
part of the Indebtedness as
16
<PAGE>
the same become due, without regard to whether or not the balance of the
Indebtedness shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Mortgagee
thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for a default
or defaults by Mortgagor existing at the time such earlier action was commenced.
35. MARSHALLING AND OTHER MATTERS. Mortgagor hereby waives, to the extent
permitted by law, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension,
reinstatement, redemption and similar laws now or hereafter in force and all
rights of marshalling in the event of any sale hereunder of the Mortgaged
Property or any part thereof or any interest therein. Further, Mortgagor hereby
expressly waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or
decree of foreclosure of this Mortgage on behalf of Mortgagor, and on behalf of
each and every person acquiring any interest in or title to the Mortgaged
Property subsequent to the date of this Mortgage and on behalf of all persons to
the extent permitted by applicable law.
36. [Intentionally Deleted]
37. ACCESS LAWS.
(a) Mortgagor agrees that the Mortgaged Property shall at all times
comply with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the
Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, all similar state and local laws and
ordinances related to access and all rules, regulations, and orders issued
pursuant thereto including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities
Act Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities (collectively the
"ACCESS LAWS").
(b) Notwithstanding any provisions set forth herein or in any other
document regarding Mortgagee's approval of alterations of the Mortgaged
Property, Mortgagor shall not alter the Mortgaged Property in any manner which
would increase Mortgagor's responsibilities for compliance with the applicable
Access Laws without the prior written approval of Mortgagee. The foregoing
shall apply to tenant improvements constructed by Mortgagor or by any of its
tenants. Mortgagee may condition any such approval upon receipt of a
certificate of an architect, engineer or other person acceptable to Mortgagee
regarding compliance with applicable Access Laws.
(c) Mortgagor agrees to give prompt notice to Mortgagee of the
receipt by Mortgagor of any complaints related to any violations of any Access
Laws and of the commencement of any proceedings or investigations which relate
to compliance with applicable Access Laws.
38. INDEMNIFICATION. In addition to any other indemnifications provided
herein or in the other Credit Facility Documents, Mortgagor shall protect,
defend, indemnify and save harmless Mortgagee from and against all liabilities,
obligations, claims, demands, damages, penalties, causes of action, losses,
fines, costs and expenses (including without limitation
17
<PAGE>
reasonable attorney fees and expenses), imposed upon, incurred by or asserted
against Mortgagee by reason of: (a) ownership of this Mortgage, the Mortgaged
Property or any interest therein or receipt of any Rents; (b) any accident,
injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on
or about the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining
sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways;
(c) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or about the Mortgaged Property or any
part thereof or on adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent
parking areas, streets or ways; (d) any failure on the part of Mortgagor to
perform or comply with any of the terms of this Mortgage; (e) performance of any
labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in
respect of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof; (f) the presence,
disposal, escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission, release or
threatened release of any Hazardous Substance on, from or affecting: (I) the
Mortgaged Property; or (II) any other property by reason of any use or ownership
of the Mortgaged Property or any action or inaction by Mortgagor; (g) any
personal injury (including wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal)
arising out of or related to any Hazardous Substance; (h) any lawsuit brought or
threatened, settlement reached, or government order relating to any Hazardous
Substance on, from or affecting: (I) the Mortgaged Property; or (II) any other
property by reason of any use or ownership of the Mortgaged Property or any
action or inaction by Mortgagor; (i) any violation of the Environmental Laws,
which are based upon or in any way related to any Hazardous Substance including,
without limitation, the costs and expenses of any remedial action, attorneys and
consultants fees, investigation and laboratory fees, court costs, and litigation
expenses; and (j) any failure of the Mortgaged Property to comply with any
Access Laws, provided that Mortgagor shall not indemnify Mortgagee for the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Mortgagee. Any amounts payable to Mortgagee
by reason of the application of this indemnification shall be secured by this
Mortgage and the other Credit Facility Documents, shall become immediately due
and payable and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date loss or
damage is sustained by Mortgagee until paid. The obligations and liabilities of
Mortgagor under this paragraph 38 shall survive any termination, satisfaction or
assignment of this Mortgage and the exercise by Mortgagee of any of its rights
or remedies hereunder, including, but not limited to, the acquisition of the
Mortgaged Property by foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure.
39. NOTICE. Except as otherwise specified herein, any notice, consent,

any) has full power, authority and right to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations pursuant to this Mortgage, and to mortgage, give, grant, bargain,
sell, alien, enfeoff, convey, confirm, pledge, hypothecate and assign the
Mortgaged Property pursuant to the terms hereof and to keep and observe all of
the terms of this Mortgage on Mortgagor's part to be performed.
(b) Mortgagor represents and warrants that Mortgagor is not a
"foreign person" within the meaning of Section 1445(f) (3) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the related Treasury Department
regulations, including temporary regulations.
41. WAIVER OF NOTICE. Mortgagor shall not be entitled to any notices of
any nature whatsoever from Mortgagee except with respect to matters for which
this Mortgage specifically and expressly provides for the giving of notice by
Mortgagee to Mortgagor and except with respect to matters for which Mortgagee is
required by applicable law to give notice, and Mortgagor hereby expressly waives
the right to receive any other notice.
42. REMEDIES OF MORTGAGOR. In the event that a claim or adjudication is
made that Mortgagee has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any
case where by law or under the Note, this Mortgage or the other Credit Facility
Documents, it has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Mortgagee shall
not be liable for any monetary damages, and Mortgagor's remedies shall be
limited to injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.
43. SOLE DISCRETION OF MORTGAGEE. Wherever pursuant to this Mortgage,
Mortgagee exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or any
arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Mortgagee, the decision of
Mortgagee to approve or disapprove or to decide that arrangements or terms are
satisfactory or not satisfactory shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of
Mortgagee and shall be final and conclusive, except as may be otherwise
expressly and specifically provided herein. Prior to the occurrence of an Event
of Default, Mortgagee shall exercise such discretion in a commercially
reasonable manner.
19
<PAGE>
44. NONWAIVER. The failure of Mortgagee to insist upon strict performance
of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this
Mortgage. Mortgagor shall not be relieved of Mortgagor's obligations hereunder
by reason of: (a) the failure of Mortgagee to comply with any request of
Mortgagor or any Guarantor to take any action to foreclose this Mortgage or
otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof, of the Note or the Other Credit
Facility Documents; (b) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole
or any part of the Mortgaged Property, or of any person liable for the
Indebtedness or any portion thereof; or (c) any agreement or stipulation by
Mortgagee extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing
the terms of the Note, this Mortgage or the other Credit Facility Documents.
Mortgagee may resort for the payment of the Indebtedness to any other security
held by Mortgagee in such order and manner as Mortgagee, in its discretion, may
elect. Mortgagee may take action to recover the Indebtedness, or any portion
thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of
Mortgagee thereafter to foreclose this Mortgage. The rights and remedies of
Mortgagee under this Mortgage and the other Credit Facility Documents shall be
separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the
exclusion of the others. No act of Mortgagee shall be construed as an election
to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other
provision. Mortgagee shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and
remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or
hereafter afforded at law or in equity.
45. NO ORAL CHANGE. This Mortgage, and any provisions hereof, may not be
modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or
by any act or failure to act on the part of Mortgagor or Mortgagee, but only by
an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any
modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is
sought.
46. LIABILITY. If Mortgagor consists of more than one person, the
obligations and liabilities of each such person hereunder shall be joint and
several. This Mortgage shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
Mortgagor and Mortgagee and their respective successors and assigns forever.

Note or this Mortgage is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, the Note and this Mortgage shall be construed without such provision.
48. HEADINGS, ETC. The headings and captions of various paragraphs of
this Mortgage are for convenience of reference only and are not to be construed
as defining or limiting, in any way, the scope or intent of the provisions
hereof.
49. DUPLICATE ORIGINALS. This Mortgage may be executed in any number of
duplicate originals and each such duplicate original shall be deemed to be an
original.
