Explanation of Responses:
1. On April 25, 2006, the reporting person received a grant of restricted units (the "Restricted Units") of Vornado Realty L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), the operating partnership of Vornado Realty Trust (the "Company"). The Restricted Units are a class of units of the Operating Partnership that, following the occurrence of certain events and upon vesting, are convertible by the holder into an equivalent number of Class A Units of the Operating Partnership. Class A Units are redeemable by the holder for cash or, at the Company's election, Common Shares of the Company on a one for one basis or the cash value of such shares.
2. These Restricted Units vested in equal portions over a five-year period. The initial vesting occurred on April 1, 2007. The Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Trustees amended the vesting terms of these units to provide for accelerated vesting to July 28, 2010 of any unvested units. The right to convert these Restricted Units to Class A Units and to redeem Class A Units for Common Shares does not expire.
3. On March 31, 2008, the reporting person received an additional grant of Restricted Units. The Restricted Units are a class of units of the Operating Partnership that, following the occurrence of certain events and upon vesting, are convertible by the holder into an equivalent number of Class A Units of the Operating Partnership. Class A Units are redeemable by the holder for cash or, at the Company's election, Common Shares of the Company on a one for one basis or the cash value of such shares.
4. These Restricted Units vest in equal portions over a five-year period. The initial vesting occurred on 03/31/2009. The Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Trustees amended the vesting terms of these units to provide for accelerated vesting to July 28, 2010 of any unvested units. The right to convert these Restricted Units to Class A Units and to redeem Class A Units for Common Shares does not expire.
5. The LTIP Units are a class of units of the Operating Partnership conditioned upon minimum allocations to the capital accounts of the LTIP Unit holder for federal income tax purposes. The LTIP Units are convertible by the reporting person, upon vesting, into an equivalent number of Class A Units of the Operating Partnership, which are redeemable by the holder for cash or, at the Company's election, Common Shares of the Company on a one for one basis or the cash value of such shares. The right to convert LTIP Units into Class A Units and redeem Class A Units for Common Shares does not expire.

The right to convert these LTIP Units to Class A Units and to redeem Class A Units for Common Shares does not expire.
7. These Class A Units are immediately redeemable (subject to certain limitations set forth in the Vornado Realty L.P.'s limited partnership agreement) for cash or, at the Company's election, Common Shares of the Company on a one for one basis.
