Explanation of Responses:
1. Of these common shares of beneficial interest, par value $.04 per share (the "Common Shares") of Vornado Realty Trust (the "Company"), 3,424 are subject to restrictions on transfer imposed by the Company that expire on March 31, 2013.
2. 164,136 Common Shares were previously reported as indirectly beneficilly owned but were distributed to Mr. Roth in accordance with the requirements of the applicable grantor retained annuity trusts.
3. These Common Shares are held in grantor retained annuity trusts. The filing of this Form 4 shall not be deemed an admission that Mr. Roth is the beneficial owner of the Common Shares. The decline of 164,136 Common Shares held in grantor retained annuity trusts since Mr. Roth's immediately preceeding Form 4 filing is attributable to distributions in accordance with the requirements of the applicable grantor retained annuity trusts.
4. These Common Shares are held by Interstate Properties, a New Jersey general partnership of which Mr. Roth is the managing general partner. The filing of this Form 4 shall not be deemed an admission that Mr. Roth is the beneficial owner of these 5,603,548 Common Shares, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest.
5. These Common Shars are held by the Daryl and Steven Roth Foundation, a charitable foundation, over which Mr. Roth holds sole voting and investment power. Mr. Roth disclaims any pecuniary interest in these Common Shares.
6. These Common Shares are held by Mr. Roth's spouse. The filing of this Form 4 shall not be deemed an admission that Mr. Roth is the beneficial owner of the Common Shares.
7. 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.
8. These Class A Units are immediately redeemable (subject to certain limitations set forth in the Operating Partnership limited partnership agreement). Class A Units do not have expiration dates.
