On April 15, 2016, Roseland Residential Trust (“Roseland”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (the “Company”), the general partner of Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), entered into a new employment agreement (the “Marshall Employment Agreement”) with Robert Andrew Marshall for Mr. Marshall to serve as President and Chief Operating Officer of Roseland. The Marshall Employment Agreement provides as follows:

·                                          An initial term through December 31, 2019;

·                                          An annual base salary of $450,000;

·                                          A target annual bonus opportunity of fifty percent (50%) of base salary, or $225,000, with a threshold bonus opportunity of twenty-five percent (25%), or $112,500, and a maximum bonus opportunity of one hundred percent (100%), or $450,000, to be based on objective performance goals to be established annually by the Compensation Committee;

·                                          Upon a termination on account of death or disability, Mr. Marshall, or his beneficiaries in the case of death, will receive a lump sum payment consisting of accrued and unpaid base salary, expense reimbursement and benefits under the Company’s health and welfare plans through the termination date, plus a prorated portion of the annual bonus payable for the year of such termination; and

·                                          Upon a termination without “cause” (as defined in the Marshall Employment Agreement) or by Mr. Marshall for “good reason” (as defined in the Marshall Employment Agreement) during the term of the Marshall Employment Agreement or thereafter during a “change in control period” (as defined in the Marshall Employment Agreement), subject to Mr. Marshall signing a release in the form attached to the Marshall Employment Agreement, Mr. Marshall will be entitled to the same benefits as in the event of a termination due to death or disability, plus a lump sum cash payment equal to one and one-half (1.5) times the sum of (i) his annual base salary immediately prior to the termination date, and (ii) his target bonus for the year during which termination occurs.

Under the Marshall Employment Agreement, Mr. Marshall will be subject to certain restrictive covenants, including non-competition and non-solicitation covenants during his employment with the Company and for 12 months after termination of employment, in circumstances in which he is entitled to receive severance benefits under the Marshall Employment Agreement following the termination of employment.

A copy of the Marshall Employment Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
