                                ALEXANDER'S, INC.

                               OMNIBUS STOCK PLAN

        1. PURPOSE. The purpose of the Alexander's, Inc. Omnibus Stock Plan (the
"Plan") is to promote the financial interests of Alexander's, Inc. (the
"Company"), including its growth and performance, by encouraging employees and
officers of the Company and its subsidiaries, employees of Vornado Realty Trust
("Vornado") and its subsidiaries or any other person or entity designated by the
Committee (as defined below) (collectively "Eligible Persons") to acquire an
ownership interest in the Company, enhancing the ability of Company and its
subsidiaries to attract and retain people or entities of outstanding ability,
and providing such persons with a way to acquire or increase their proprietary
interest in the Company's success.

        2. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN. Subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 14, the number of shares of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of
the Company (the "Shares") which shall be available for the grant of awards
under the Plan shall not exceed 1,050,000. No Participant (as defined in Section
3) shall be granted stock options or stock appreciation rights with respect to
more than 350,000 Shares in any Plan year, subject to adjustment as provided in
Article 14. The Shares issued under the Plan may be authorized and unissued
Shares or treasury Shares, as the Company may from time to time determine.
Shares subject to an award that expires unexercised, that is forfeited,
terminated or canceled, in whole or in part, or is paid in cash in lieu of
Shares, shall thereafter again be available for grant under the Plan.

        3. ADMINISTRATION. The Plan shall be administered by a committee to be
selected by the Board of Directors of the Company, from time to time (the
"Committee"), which shall be comprised of no fewer than two members of the
Board. Each member shall be a member of the Board who is "disinterested" within
the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act"). A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum, and the
acts of a majority shall be the acts of the Committee.

        Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee (i) shall select
the Eligible Persons who will be participants in the Plan (the "Participants"),
determine the type of awards to be made to Participants, determine the Shares or
share units subject to awards, and (ii) shall have the authority to interpret
the Plan, to establish, amend, and rescind any rules and regulations relating to
the Plan, to determine the terms and provisions of any agreements entered into
hereunder and to make all determinations necessary or advisable for the
administration of the Plan. The Committee may correct any defect, supply any
omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any award in the
manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable to carry it into effect. The
determinations of the Committee in the administration of the Plan, as described
herein, shall be final and conclusive.

        4. ELIGIBILITY. All Eligible Persons who have demonstrated significant
management potential or who have the capacity for contributing in a substantial
measure to the successful performance of the Company, as determined by the
Committee, are eligible to be Participants in the Plan.

        5. AWARDS. Awards granted under the Plan may consist of either incentive
stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code or
non-qualified stock options, provided that only Eligible Persons who are
employees of the Company or its subsidiaries may receive incentive stock
options; stock appreciation rights, performance shares or grants of restricted
stock. Awards of performance shares and restricted stock may provide the
Participant with dividends and voting rights prior to vesting (whether based on
a period of time or based on attainment of specified performance conditions).

        6. STOCK OPTIONS. The Committee shall establish the option price at the
time each stock option is granted, which price shall not be less than 100% of
the fair market value of the Shares on the date of grant; provided, that for
incentive stock options granted to persons owning more than 10% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, the option price shall not be less than 110%
of the fair market value per share at the date of grant. Stock options shall be
exercisable for such period as specified by the Committee, but in no event may
options be exercisable more than ten years after their date of grant (five years
in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a ten percent stockholder).
The option price of each Share as to which a stock option is exercised shall be
paid in full at the time of such exercise. Such payment shall be made in cash,
by tender of unrestricted Shares owned by the Participant valued at fair market
value as of the date of exercise, in such other consideration as the Committee
deems appropriate, or by a combination of cash, unrestricted Shares and such
other consideration.

        If determined by the Committee at or subsequent to the date of grant of
a stock option, in the event a Participant pays the exercise price of such stock
option (in whole or in part) by tendering Shares owned by the Participant, such
Participant shall automatically be granted a reload stock option for the number
of Shares used to pay the exercise price. The reload stock option shall have
terms and conditions determined by the Committee consistent with this Section.
If a reload stock option is granted as set forth above, one or more successive
reload stock options shall automatically be granted, unless otherwise determined
by the Committee, to a Participant who pays all or part of the exercise price of
any such reload stock option by tendering Shares owned by the Participant. Such
reload stock option grants shall not be treated as Shares granted under the Plan
in determining the aggregate number of Shares available for the grant of awards
pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2.

        7. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. Stock appreciation rights may be granted
in tandem with a stock option, in addition to a stock option, or may be
freestanding and unrelated to a stock option. Stock appreciation rights granted
in tandem with or in addition to a stock option may be granted either at the
same time as the stock option or at a later time. No stock appreciation right
shall be exercisable earlier than six months after grant, except in the event of
the Participant's death or disability. A stock appreciation right shall entitle
the Participant to receive from the Company an amount equal to the increase of
the fair market value of the Share on the exercise of the stock appreciation
right over the grant price. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall
determine whether the stock appreciation right shall be settled in cash, Shares
or a combination of cash and Shares.

        8. PERFORMANCE SHARES. Performance shares may be granted in the form of
actual Shares or share units having a value equal to an identical number of
Shares. In the event that a certificate is issued in respect of Shares subject
to a grant of performance shares, such certificate shall be registered in the
name of the Participant but shall be held by the Company until the time the
Shares subject to the grant of performance shares are earned. The performance
conditions and the length of the performance period shall be determined by the
Committee. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether
performance shares granted in the form of share units shall be paid in cash,
Shares, or a combination of cash and Shares.

        9. RESTRICTED STOCK. Restricted stock may be granted in the form of
actual Shares or share units having a value equal to an identical number of
Shares. In the event that a certificate is issued in respect of Shares subject
to a grant of restricted stock, such certificate shall be registered in the name
of the Participant but shall be held by the Company until the end of the
restricted period. The employment conditions and the length of the period for
vesting of restricted stock shall be established by the Committee at time of
grant. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether restricted
stock granted in the form of share units shall be paid in cash, Shares, or a
combination of cash and Shares.

        10. AWARD AGREEMENTS. Each award under the Plan shall be evidenced by an
agreement setting forth the terms and conditions, as determined by the
Committee, which shall apply to such award, in addition to the terms and
conditions specified in the Plan.

        11. WITHHOLDING. The Company shall have the right to deduct from any
payment to be made pursuant to the Plan, or to require prior to the issuance or
delivery of any Shares or the payment of cash under the Plan, any taxes required
by law to be withheld therefrom. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may
permit a Participant to elect to satisfy such withholding obligation by having
the Company retain the number of Shares whose fair market value equals the
amount required to be withheld. Any fraction of a Share required to satisfy such
obligation shall be disregarded and the amount due shall instead be paid in cash
to the Participant.

        12. NONTRANSFERABILITY. Except as may otherwise be determined by the
Committee with respect to the transferability of stock options by a Participant
to such Participant's immediate family members (or trusts, partnerships, or
limited liability companies established for such immediate family members), no
award under the Plan shall be assignable or transferable except by will or the
laws of descent and distribution, and no right or interest of any Participant
shall be subject to any lien, obligation or liability of the Participant. For
this purpose, immediate family member means, except as otherwise defined by the
Committee, the Participant's children, stepchildren, grandchildren, parents,
stepparents, grandparents, spouse, siblings (including half brothers and
sisters), in-laws and persons related by reason of legal adoption. Such
transferees may transfer a stock option only by will or the laws of descent or
distribution. A stock option transferred pursuant to this Section 12 shall
remain subject to the provisions of the Plan, and shall be subject to such other
rules as the Committee shall determine. Upon transfer of a stock option, any
related stock appreciation right shall be canceled. Except in the case of a
holder's incapacity, an award shall be exercisable only by the holder thereof.

        13. NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT. No person shall have any claim or right to
be granted an award, and the grant of such award shall not be construed as
giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company,
Vornado or their respective subsidiaries. Further, the Company, Vornado and
their respective subsidiaries expressly reserve the right at any time to dismiss
a Participant free from any liability, or any claim under the Plan, except as
provided herein or in any agreement entered into hereunder.

        14. ADJUSTMENT OF AND CHANGES IN SHARES. In the event of any change in
the outstanding Shares by reason of any share dividend or split,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spinoff, combination or exchange of
Shares or other corporate change, or any distributions to Common Stockholders
other than regular cash dividends, the Committee may make such substitution or
adjustment, if any, as it deems to be equitable, as to the number or kind of
Shares or other securities issued or reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan
and to outstanding awards.

        15. AMENDMENT. The Board of Directors may amend or terminate the Plan or
any portion thereof at any time, provided that no amendment shall be made
without stockholder approval if such approval is necessary in order for the Plan
to continue to comply with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

        16. RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER. Except as provided in Section 5 hereof, a
Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares
issuable upon exercise of any award hereunder until a certificate or
certificates evidencing the Shares shall have been issued to the Participant
and, subject to Section 14, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or
distributions or other rights in respect of any Share for which the record date
is prior to the date on which the Participant shall become the holder of record
thereof.

        17. EFFECTIVE DATE. The Plan shall become effective on the date of its
adoption by the Board of Directors of the Company, and awards may be granted
immediately thereafter, but any award granted under the Plan is subject to
defeasance unless and until the Plan shall have been approved by the
stockholders. If such stockholder approval is not obtained, the Plan and any
options granted thereunder shall be null and void. Subject to earlier
termination pursuant to Section 15, the Plan shall have a term of ten years from
its effective date.
