Explanation of Responses:

1. Represents LTIP Units granted pursuant to an employment agreement dated as of February 10, 2016 between the reporting person and the Issuer (the "Employment Agreement"), which vest in equal installments on each of January 1, 2017, January 1, 2018 and January 1, 2019, subject to continued employment.

2. Conditioned upon minimum allocations to the capital accounts of the LTIP Units for federal income tax purposes, each LTIP Unit may be converted, at the election of the holder, into a Class A Unit of limited partnership interest in SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. (a "Common Unit"). Each Common Unit acquired upon conversion of an LTIP Unit may be presented for redemption, at the election of the holder, for cash equal to the then fair market value of a share of the Issuer's Common Stock, except that the Issuer may, at its election, acquire each Common Unit so presented for one share of Common Stock. LTIP Units are generally not convertible without the consent of the Issuer until two years from the date of the grant. The rights to convert LTIP Units into Common Units and redeem Common Units do not have expiration dates.

3. Represents LTIP Units granted pursuant to the Employment Agreement, which may vest in equal installments on each of January 1, 2017, January 1, 2018 and January 1, 2019, subject to the achievement of certain performance criteria and continued employment; provided that LTIP Units that do not vest initially may vest on each subsequent January 1st vesting date through January 1, 2019 based on cumulative performance, subject to the achievement of certain cumulative performance criteria and continued employment through the applicable January 1 vesting date.
