long as such Indebtedness is held solely by any of the Issuer, the Corporation and any Subsidiary) that is subordinate in right of payment to the Notes.

excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate present value as of the date of such redemption of each dollar of principal of such Notes being redeemed and the amount of interest (exclusive of interest
accrued to the date of redemption) that would have been payable in respect of such dollar if such redemption had been made on February 13, 2013, determined by discounting, on a
semi-annual basis, such principal and interest at the Reinvestment Rate (determined on the third Business Day preceding the date such notice of redemption is given) from the respective
dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable if such redemption had been made on February 13, 2013, over (ii) the aggregate principal amount of such Notes being
redeemed. In the case of any redemption of the Notes on or after February 13, 2013, the Make-Whole Premium means zero. 


        "Notes" has the meaning specified in Section 2.1 hereof. 


        "Reinvestment Rate" means 0.25% (twenty-five one hundredths of one percent) plus the arithmetic mean of the yields under the
respective headings "This Week" and "Last Week" published in the Statistical Release under the caption "Treasury Constant Maturities" for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month) corresponding to
the remaining life to maturity of such Notes (which, in the case of maturities corresponding to the principal and interest due on the Notes at their maturity, shall be deemed to be February 13,
2013), as of the payment date of the principal of such Notes being redeemed. If no maturity exactly corresponds to such maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to
such maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and the Reinvestment Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the
nearest month. For such purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the Make-Whole Premium shall be
used. 


        "Statistical Release" means the statistical release designated "H.15(519)" or any successor publication which is published weekly by the
Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States government securities adjusted to constant maturities or, if such statistical release is not published at the time
of any determination of the Make-Whole Premium, then such other reasonably comparable index which shall be designated by the Issuer. 


        "Subsidiary" means, with respect to any Person, any corporation or other entity of which a majority of the voting power of the voting
equity securities or the outstanding equity interests of which are owned, directly or indirectly, by such Person. For the purposes of this definition, "voting equity

contingency.

Subsidiary. 


 
 

ARTICLE TWO
  THE SERIES OF NOTES    
  


        Section 2.1    Title of the Securities.    



        There
shall be a series of Securities designated the "5.82% Notes due 2013" (the "Notes"). 


        Section 2.2    Limitation on Aggregate Principal Amount.    


        Except
as provided in this Section and in Section 306 of the Original Indenture, (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes shall be limited to $26,105,000, and
(ii) the Issuer shall not execute and the Trustee shall not authenticate or deliver Notes in excess of such aggregate principal amount. 



        Nothing
contained in this Section 2.2 or elsewhere in this Supplemental Indenture, or in the Notes, is intended to or shall limit execution by the Issuer or authentication or
delivery by the Trustee of Notes under the circumstances contemplated by Sections 303, 304, 305, 306, 906, 1107 and 1305 of the Original Indenture. Furthermore, the Issuer may from time to time,
without the consent of existing Holders, create and issue further notes having the same terms and conditions in all respects as the Notes issued as of the date hereof pursuant to this Supplemental
Indenture, except for issue date, issue price and the first payment of interest thereon. Additional notes issued in this manner will be consolidated with and will form a single series with the
previously outstanding Notes. 


        Section 2.3    Interest and Interest Rates; Maturity Date of Notes.    


        The
Notes will bear interest at a rate of 5.82% per annum from March 14, 2003 or from the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly
provided for, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2003 (each, an "Interest
Payment Date"), to the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on March 1 or September 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the
case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date (each, a "Regular Record Date"). Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year comprised of twelve 30-day months. The interest so payable on any Note which is not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be
payable to the Person in whose name such Note is registered on the relevant Regular Record Date, and such defaulted interest shall instead be payable to the Person in whose name such Note is
registered on the Special Record Date or other specified date determined in accordance with the Original Indenture. 


5





 



        If
any Interest Payment Date or Maturity falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment shall be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date such
payment was due and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or Maturity, as the case may be. 


        The
Notes will mature on March 15, 2013. 


        Section 2.4    Limitations on Incurrence of Indebtedness.    



        (a)  The
Issuer will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Indebtedness, other than Intercompany Indebtedness, if, immediately after giving effect to the
incurrence of such additional Indebtedness and the application of the proceeds thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis determined in accordance with GAAP is greater than 60% of the sum of (without duplication) (i) the Total Assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries as of the end of the
calendar quarter covered in the Issuer's Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the Commission
(or, if such filing is not permitted under the Exchange Act, with the Trustee) prior to the incurrence of such additional Indebtedness and (ii) the purchase price of any assets included in the
definition of Total Assets acquired, and the amount of any securities offering proceeds received (to the extent such proceeds were not used to acquire items included in the definition of Total Assets
or used to reduce indebtedness), by the Issuer or any Subsidiary since the end of such calendar quarter, including those proceeds obtained in connection with the incurrence of such additional
Indebtedness. 


        (b)  In
addition to the limitation set forth in subsection (a) of this Section 2.4, the Issuer will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any
Indebtedness if the ratio of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to the Annual Service Charge for the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the date on which such
additional Indebtedness is to be incurred shall have been less than 1.5:1, on a pro forma basis after giving effect thereto and to the application of
the proceeds therefrom, and calculated on the assumption that (i) such Indebtedness and any other Indebtedness incurred by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries since the first day of such
four-quarter period and the application of the proceeds therefrom, including to refinance other Indebtedness, had occurred at the beginning of such period; (ii) the repayment or
retirement of any other Indebtedness by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period had been repaid or retired at the beginning of such period (except
that, in making such computation, the amount of Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during such period);
(iii) in the case of Acquired Indebtedness or Indebtedness incurred in connection with any acquisition since the first day of such four-quarter period, the related acquisition had
occurred as of the first day of such period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition being included in such pro forma
calculation; and (iv) in the case of any acquisition or disposition by the Issuer or its Subsidiaries of any asset or group of assets since the first day of such four-quarter
period, whether by merger, stock purchase or sale, or asset purchase or sale, such acquisition or disposition or any related repayment of Indebtedness had occurred as of the first day of such period
with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition or disposition being included in such pro forma calculation. 



        (c)  In
addition to the limitations set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 2.4, the Issuer will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to,
incur any Indebtedness secured by any Encumbrance upon any of the property of the Issuer or any Subsidiary, whether owned at the date of the Indenture or thereafter acquired, if, immediately after
giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Indebtedness secured by an Encumbrance and the application of the proceeds thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Indebtedness of
the Issuer and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis which is secured by any Encumbrance on property of the Issuer or any Subsidiary is greater than 40% of the sum of (without duplication)
(i) the Total Assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries as of the 


6





 




end of the calendar quarter covered in the Issuer's Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the
Commission (or, if such filing is not permitted under the Exchange Act, with the Trustee) prior to the incurrence of such additional Indebtedness and (ii) the purchase price of any assets
included in the definition of Total Assets acquired, and the amount of any securities offering proceeds received (to the extent such proceeds were not used to acquire items included in the definition
of Total Assets or used to reduce Indebtedness), by the Issuer or any Subsidiary since the end of such calendar quarter, including those proceeds obtained in connection with the incurrence of such
additional Indebtedness. 


        (d)  The
Issuer and its Subsidiaries may not at any time own Total Unencumbered Assets equal to less than 150% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Unsecured
Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. 


        (e)  For
purposes of this Section 2.4, Indebtedness shall be deemed to be "incurred" by the Issuer or a Subsidiary
whenever the Issuer or such Subsidiary shall create, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable in respect thereof. 


        Section 2.5    Redemption.    


        The
Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of the Issuer, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount of the Notes being
redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to but not including the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Premium, if any, with respect to such Notes (the
"Redemption Price"). 


        Section 2.6    Places of Payment.    


        The
Places of Payment where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, where the Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and
demands to and upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and the Original Indenture may be served shall be in Wilmington, Delaware, and the office or agency for such purpose shall initially be located
at the Corporate Trust Office. 


        Section 2.7    Method of Payment.    


        Payment
of the principal of and interest on the Notes will be made at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for that purpose in Wilmington, Delaware (which shall initially be an

the option of the Issuer, payments of principal and interest on the Notes (other than payments of principal and interest due
at Maturity) may be made (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or (ii) by wire transfer to an account
maintained by the Person entitled thereto located within the United States. 


        Section 2.8    Currency.    


        Principal
and interest on the Notes shall be payable in Dollars. 


        Section 2.9    Registered Securities; Global Form.

(other than non-recourse indebtedness) for money borrowed by the Issuer (or by any Subsidiary, the repayment of which the Issuer has guaranteed or for which the Issuer is directly
responsible or liable as obligor or guarantor), having an aggregate principal amount outstanding of at least $10,000,000, whether such recourse indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created,
which default shall have resulted in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable, without such indebtedness
having been discharged, or such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled, within a period of 10 days after there shall have been given written notice, by registered or certified mail, to

        The
provisions of the first paragraph of Section 502 of the Original Indenture as applicable with respect to the Notes shall be deemed to be amended and restated in their entirety
to read as follows: 



        If

the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by the
Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal or specified portion thereof shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series set

without notice to the Issuer, at the principal amount thereof (or, if any Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities or Indexed Securities, such portion
of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) plus accrued interest to the date the Securities of that series are paid plus the Make-Whole Premium, if any, on the Securities
of that series.

annual reports, quarterly 


8





 




reports and other documents which the Issuer would have been required to file with the Commission pursuant to such Section 13 or 15(d) if the Issuer were so subject, such documents to be filed

Issuer will also in any event (x) within 15 days of each Required Filing Date (i) if the Issuer is not then subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act, transmit by mail to all Holders, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, without cost to such Holders, copies of the annual reports and quarterly reports which the Issuer
would have been required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Issuer were subject to such Sections, and (ii) file with the Trustee
copies of annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents which the Issuer would have been required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the
Issuer were subject to such Sections and (y) if filing such documents by the Issuer with the Commission is not permitted under the Exchange Act, promptly upon written request and payment of the

Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition. Except to the extent so expressly waived, and until such waiver shall become
effective, the obligations of the Issuer and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

MACK-CALI REALTY, L.P.



5.82% NOTE DUE 2013  


        MACK-CALI REALTY, L.P., a limited partnership duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein referred to as the
"Issuer" which term shall include any Successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, upon presentation, the principal sum of                        DOLLARS on
March 15, 2013, and to pay interest on the outstanding principal amount thereon from
March 14, 2003, or from the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and
September 15 in each year, commencing September 15, 2003, at the rate of 5.82% per annum, until the entire principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. The interest so payable
and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security is registered at the close of business on
the Regular Record Date for such interest which shall be the March 1 or September 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any
such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this
Security is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of the
Securities not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements
of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. Payment of the principal of and
interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency maintained for that purpose in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or elsewhere as provided in the Indenture, in such coin or currency of
the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the option of
the Issuer payments of principal and interest on the Notes (other than payments of principal and interest due at Maturity) may be made (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled
thereto as such address shall appear in the Security 


A-1





 




Register or (ii) by wire transfer to an account of the Person entitled thereto located within the United States. 


        Securities
of this series are one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Issuer (herein called the "Securities"), issued and to
be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of March 16, 1999, among the Issuer, Mack-Cali Realty Corporation and Wilmington Trust Company, (herein called the
"Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), as supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 1, dated as of
March 16, 1999, as further supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 2, dated as of August 2, 1999, as further supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 3, dated as of
December 21, 2000, as further supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 4, dated as of January 29, 2001, as further supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 5, dated as
of December 20, 2002 and as further supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 6, dated as of March 14, 2003 (as so supplemented, herein called the
"Indenture"), between the Issuer and the Trustee to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of
the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are authenticated
and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated in the first page thereof, limited in aggregate principal
amount to $26,105,000, except as the aggregate principal amount may be increased pursuant to Section 2.2 of Supplemental Indenture No. 6 referred to above. 


        Securities
of this series may be redeemed at any time at the option of the Issuer, in whole or in part, upon notice of not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the
Redemption Date, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to but not including the
Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Premium, if any, with respect to such Securities. 


        The
Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness of the Issuer on this Security and (b) certain restrictive covenants and the
related defaults and Events of Default applicable to the Issuer, in each case, upon compliance by the Issuer with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, which provisions apply to this
Security. 


        If
an Event of Default with respect to the Securities shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect
provided in the Indenture. 


        As
provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to
the Securities, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute
proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any interest on or after
the respective due dates expressed herein. 


        The
Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders
of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of each series of Securities then Outstanding affected thereby. The Indenture also contains 


A-2





 




provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to
waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security
shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any
Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 


        No
reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
the principal of (and Make-Whole Premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 



        As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security
for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Issuer in any Place of Payment where the principal of (and Make-Whole Premium, if any) and interest on this Security are
payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Security Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees. 


        Except
as set forth in Section 302 of the Indenture, the Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral
multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of
this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 


        No
service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
payable in connection therewith. 


        Prior
to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary. 


        No
recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or in this Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced hereby or thereby, shall be had
against any promoter, as such, or against any past, present or future shareholder, officer or director, as such, of the Issuer or of any successor, either directly or through the Issuer or any
successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly
waived and released by the acceptance of this Security by the Holder thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities of this series. 


        All
capitalized terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 


        THE INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES, INCLUDING THIS SECURITY, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK.


        Pursuant
to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused "CUSIP" numbers to be printed on the Securities of this
series as a 


A-3





 




convenience to the Holders of such Securities. No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such CUSIP numbers as printed on the Securities, and reliance may be placed only on the
other identification numbers printed hereon. 


        Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on behalf of the Trustee by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
