Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	2,310 of these Common Shares were issued as restricted stock and remain unvested under the terms of the Vornado Realty Trust Omnibus Share Plan, with each original grant vesting in equal portions over a five year period. These 2,310 Common Shares vest in January of 2010.
(2)	2,192 Common Shares were previously reported as indirectly beneficially owned but were distributed by Interstate Properties subsequent to the date of filing of Mr. Roth's immediately preceeding Form 4.
(3)	These Common Shares 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.
(4)	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.
(5)	These Common Shares are held by Interstate Properties, a New Jersey general partnership of which Mr. Roth is a general partner. The filing of this Form 4 shall not be deemed an admission that Mr. Roth is the beneficial owner of these 5,586,913 Common Shares, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest. The decline of 4,384 Common Shares held by Interstate Properties since Mr. Roth's immediately preceeding Form 4 filing is attributable to a distribution by the partnership of 4,384 Common Shares with respect to which 2,192 were distributed to Mr. Roth, which amount did not exceed Mr. Roth's pecuniary interest in Common Shares held by Interstate Properties.
(6)	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.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
