AGREEMENT ("Agreement") effective as of December 6, 2005 ("Grant Date") by and between Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (the "Company") and [Name of Director] ("Recipient").

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Amended and Restated 2000 Director Stock Option Plan of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (the "Plan"), the Company hereby awards shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock") to the Recipient subject to such terms, conditions, and restrictions (hereinafter, "Restricted Share Award") as set forth in the Plan, and this Agreement;

NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1.	Award of Shares of Restricted Stock.

Pursuant to the Plan, the Committee hereby awards to the Recipient, effective as of the Grant Date, a Restricted Share Award representing the conditional receipt of 1,200 shares of Common Stock ("Restricted Shares") at no out-of-pocket cost to the Recipient subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth herein. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall be as defined in the Plan.

2.	Award Restrictions.

(c) Lapse of Restrictions. Upon the Vesting of Restricted Shares, the Recipient shall own the Shares free and clear of all restrictions imposed by this Agreement and the Recipient shall be free to hold or dispose of such Shares in his discretion, subject to applicable federal and state law or regulations.

(d) Prohibition Against Assignment. During the Vesting Period, the Restricted Shares may not be transferred or encumbered by the Recipient by means of sale, assignment, mortgage, transfer, exchange, pledge, or otherwise. The levy of any execution, attachment, or similar process upon the Restricted Shares shall be null and void.

3.	Stock Certificates.

(d) Rights of Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2 and this Section 3, during the Vesting Period and after the certificates for the Restricted Shares have been issued, the Recipient shall be entitled to all rights of a stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote and the right to receive dividends, with respect to the Restricted Shares subject to this Agreement.
