ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

        On September 27, 2002, Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. ("MCRLP"), the
operating partnership of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, refinanced its
unsecured revolving credit facility with a group of 14 lender banks. The
credit facility provides for loans or other extensions of credit to be made
to MCRLP in an aggregate principal amount of up to $600 million (expandable
to $800 million). The credit facility currently carries an interest rate of
the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 70 basis points, and a
facility fee of 20 basis points. The interest rate and facility fee are both
subject to adjustment, on a sliding scale, based upon a change in MCRLP's
unsecured debt ratings, as further described in the Amended and Restated
Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Agreement"). The credit facility has a
three-year term with a one-year extension option.

        The lending group for the credit line consists of: JPMorgan Chase
Bank, as administrative agent; Fleet National Bank, as syndication agent;
Commerzbank AG, as syndication agent; Bank of America, N.A., as documentation
agent; Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as documentation agent; Bank
of Nova Scotia; Bank One, NA; Citicorp North America, Inc.; Wachovia Bank,
National Association; PNC Bank, National Association; SunTrust Bank;
Bayerische Landesbank Girozentrale; Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas; and
Chevy Chase Bank, FSB. Mack-Cali Realty Corporation and certain of its
subsidiaries are the guarantors of the obligations of MCRLP under the
Agreement.

        In connection with the foregoing, Mack-Cali Realty Corporation hereby
files the following documents.
