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)	Represents LTIP Units of Vornado Realty L.P. ("LTIP Units").
(2)	The LTIP Units are a class of units of Vornao Realty Trust's (the "Issuer") operating partnership, Vornado Realty L.P., conditioned upon minimum allocations to the capital accounts of the LTIP Units for federal income tax purposes. The LTIP Units are convertible by the reporting person, upon vesting, into an equivalent number of Class A Units of Vornado Realty L.P., which are redeemable by the holder for Common Shares of the Issuer on a one-for-one basis or the cash value of such shares, at the Issuer's option. The rights to convert LTIP Units into Class A Units and redeem Class A Units do not have expiration dates.
(3)	Pursuant to the terms of the Vornado Realty Trust 2006 Outperformance Plan (the "Plan") the LTIP Units referenced in this Form 4 were "earned" upon the achievement of performance hurdles as of January 12, 2007, subject to a determination by the Compensation Committee of the Issuer's Board of Trustees (the "Compensation Committee") that such hurdles were met. The determination that these performance hurdles were met was made by the Compensation Committee on January 30, 2007. The performance hurdles were established by the Compensation Committee on April 25, 2006.
(4)	Represents the number of LTIP Units "earned" as of January 12, 2007, based upon the final 60% of performance hurdles having been met by the Issuer and the percentage of the Reporting Person's interest in the performance pool established by the Issuer under the Plan.
(5)	Other than 1,250 LTIP Units to be issued to the Reporting Person under the Plan based upon a dividend accrual, earned LTIP Units will vest one-third on each of March 14, 2009, 2010 and 2011.
