(a) Simultaneously herewith, the Members have established a working capital account (the "Working Capital Account") for operating shortfalls (including debt service shortfalls under any Applicable Loan) in the initial amount of $100,000.00. In the event that no funds are available in the Working Capital Account, or if monies are required (i) by the Business Plan, (ii) to enable the Applicable Entities to pay Necessary Expenses as they become due if such Applicable Entity shall not have sufficient funds to pay the same, (iii) to fund Cash Reserves in the amount agreed to by the Members on the date hereof or (iv) as the Management Committee may otherwise approve, then the Members shall make additional Capital Contributions in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests in such amounts without duplication. Additional Capital Contributions shall be paid (x) within ten (10) Business Days after request therefor by the Administrative Member or (y) such shorter time period as required under the terms and provisions of any Applicable Loan Documents (provided such shorter time period shall commence, with respect to any non-Administrative Member, upon delivery of a notice to the non-Administrative Member from Administrative Member that such Additional Capital Contribution is required to be made). In the event that Administrative Member has failed to timely request an additional Capital Contribution under this Section 5.02(a), the non-Administrative Member (or the Group Agent for the non-Administrative Members, as applicable) may make such request by sending written notice (the "Capital Call Notice") thereof to the Members and the 10 Business Day period (or such shorter period) set forth in the preceding sentence shall commence on the date the Capital Call Notice is received by the Members. Additional capital which is required for the business of the Property Owner shall be (x) contributed by the LLC to the capital of the Property Owner or (y) loaned by the LLC to the Property Owner on such loan terms as are determined by the Management Committee. - 24 - (b) If at any time a Reckson Member or an Investor Member shall fail to timely make a Capital Contribution which such Member is obligated to make under this Section 5.02 (such Member, a "Non-Contributing Member"), and such failure shall continue for a period of 10 Business Days (or such shorter period as described in Section 5.02(a)(y)) after notice of such failure, the rights and remedies set forth below in this Section 5.02(b) shall apply. Such remedies may be exercised (as between such remedies) on a cumulative and nonexclusive basis but shall collectively constitute the exclusive remedies available against a Non-Contributing Member. (i) If the Reckson Members, on the one hand, or the Investor Members, on the other hand, have timely made their own Capital Contributions (as applicable, the "Contributing Member"), the Contributing Member may (but shall not be obligated to), within 30 days after the expiration of the 10 Business-Day period (or such shorter period as described in Section 5.02(a)(y)) referred to above (x) request in writing that its Capital Contribution be returned, in which case the Administrative Member shall cause the LLC to immediately return such Capital Contribution to the Contributing Member or (y) advance the portion of the Capital Contribution which the Non-Contributing Member has failed to make (the amount so advanced, the "Default Amount") to the LLC, and such advance shall be treated as a loan from the Contributing Member to the Non-Contributing Member and as a Capital Contribution by the Non-Contributing Member to the LLC. The Contributing Member shall give notice thereof to the Non-Contributing Member upon the Contributing Member's loan of the Default Amount. Any such loan of the Default Amount made by a Contributing Member to the Non-Contributing Member is referred to herein as a "Default Loan". Each Default Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof at the Default Loan Rate from the date advanced until the date repaid. The Non-Contributing Member may repay the Default Loan, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, at any time prior to the Conversion Date. (ii) In the case of Default Loans, if any Default Loan, plus all interest accrued thereon, is not repaid in full to the Contributing Member on or prior to the date that is 180 days after such Default Loan was made (the "Outside Date"), then the Contributing Member shall have the option, exercisable within 30 days following the Outside Date, to convert the outstanding amount of the Default Loan, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, into a Capital Contribution by the Contributing Member (a "Contributing Member Contribution"). Such option shall be exercised, if at all, by written notice given by the Contributing Member to the Non-Contributing Member no later than 30 days following the Outside Date (the date of such notice, the "Conversion Date"). If the Contributing Member elects to make a Contributing Member Contribution, then for all purposes of this Agreement, the Capital Contributions of (I) the Contributing Member shall be deemed to be increased, as of the Conversion Date, by the product of (x) the applicable Contributing Member Contribution and (y) 1.25 and (II) the Non-Contributing Member shall be deemed to be decreased, as of the Conversion Date, by the Contributing Member Contribution and for purposes of determining each Member's Capital Account (in addition to the amounts treated as Capital Contributions under Section 5.02(b)(i)) the LLC shall be deemed to have made a distribution to the Non-Contributing Member of an amount of cash equal to the Contributing Member Contribution and the Contributing Member shall be deemed to have contributed an equal amount of cash to the LLC (it being understood that - 25 - no such distribution will in fact be made or required to be made). If the principal and interest due on a Default Loan shall be converted into a Capital Contribution pursuant to this Section 5.02(b)(ii) or Section 6.10, then (x) no subsequent payment or tender of payment by the Non-Contributing Member of the amount so converted or contributed shall affect the Members' Capital Contributions and Percentage Interests as recalculated in accordance with this Agreement and (y) the Non-Contributing Member shall have neither the right nor the obligation to repay any such principal or interest. The Members hereby agree that, following any adjustments described in this Section 5.02(b)(ii) or Section 6.10, the Percentage Interests of each Member shall be readjusted. Upon the conversion of any Default Loan into a Capital Contribution, at the Contributing Member's sole election, the LLC shall adjust the Book Values of all of its assets such that the Capital Accounts of the Members, after taking into account such adjustment to Book Values and the Capital Contribution by the Contributing Member and subject to compliance with Section 6.06, shall be, as nearly as possible, in the same ratio as the Members' respective Percentage Interests (increased in the case of the Investor's Capital Account by the Unreturned Transfer Tax Amount), after the adjustment to the Members' Percentage Interests described in the prior sentence. 5.03 Liability of Members. Except as otherwise provided in the LLC Act and this Agreement, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the LLC, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the LLC, and the Members shall not be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the LLC solely by reason of being a Member. The failure of the LLC to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its business or affairs under the LLC Act or this Agreement shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on the Members for liabilities of the LLC. 5.04 Return of Capital. Except as may be specifically provided in this Agreement, no Member shall have the right to demand or to receive the return of all or any part of its Capital Account or its Capital Contributions to the LLC. ARTICLE VI ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES; DISTRIBUTIONS 6.01 Capital Accounts. (a) Each Member shall have a Capital Account which shall be maintained in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). (b) The Capital Account of each Member shall be increased (i) by the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property (net of liabilities that the LLC is considered to assume, or take property subject to, under Section 752 of the Code) contributed by such Member to the LLC and (ii) by any Net Income or items of income or gain allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 6.02 and any item in the nature of income or gain specially allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 6.03. - 26 - (c) The Capital Account of each Member shall be reduced by (i) the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property (net of liabilities that the Member is considered to assume, or take property subject to, under Section 752 of the Code) distributed to such Member and (ii) by any Net Loss or items of loss or deductions allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 6.02 and any item in the nature of loss or deduction specially allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 6.03. (d) The Capital Account of each Member shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustment to the Book Value of the LLC's assets attributable to the application of Sections 734 or 743 of the Code to the extent required pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m). (e) In the event that all or a portion of an Interest in the LLC is transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the transferred Interest. (f) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, whenever it is necessary to determine the Capital Account of any Member, the Capital Account of such Member shall be determined after giving effect to the allocations of Net Income, Net Loss and other items realized prior or concurrently to such time (including, without limitation, any Net Income and Net Losses attributable to adjustments to Book Values with respect to any concurrent distribution), and all contributions and distributions made prior or concurrently to the time as of which such determination is to be made. (g) The provisions of this Article VI (and other related provisions in this Agreement) pertaining to the maintenance of Capital Accounts and allocation of items of LLC income, gain, loss, deductions, and credits shall be interpreted consistently with Section 704 of the Code and the Regulations thereunder, and to the extent unintentionally inconsistent with such Code and Regulations, shall be deemed to be modified to the extent necessary to make such provisions consistent with the Code and Regulations. 6.02 Allocation of Net Income or Net Loss. (a) After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 6.03, Net Income for each taxable year, or portion thereof, shall be allocated among the Members (and credited to their Capital Accounts) as follows: - 27 - (i) First, to the Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests until the balance in Investor's Capital Account (increased for these purposes by Investor's share of partnership minimum gain, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(g) of the Regulations, and partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(3) of the Regulations) is equal to Investor's then Outstanding Capital Contributions (excluding the Transfer Tax Amount); (ii) Second, to Investor until the aggregate amount of Net Income allocated to it under this Section 6.02(a)(ii) for the taxable year and all prior taxable years equals the aggregate amount of Net Loss allocated to Investor pursuant to Section 6.02(b)(ii) for all prior taxable years; (iii) Third, to the Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests until the balance in Investor's Capital Account (increased for these purposes by Investor's share of partnership minimum gain, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(g) of the Regulations, and partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(3) of the Regulations) is equal to an amount that if such amount were distributed to Investor pursuant to Section 6.05(c) at the end of such taxable year, Investor would have received a 12.5% Internal Rate of Return, taking into account all previous distributions under Section 6.05; and (iv) Fourth, the balance, if any, to each of Investor and Reckson in accordance with their respective Promote Percentages. (b) After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 6.03, Net Loss for each taxable year, or portion thereof, shall be allocated among the Members (and credited to their Capital Accounts) as follows: (i) First, to the Members who have previously been allocated Net Income pursuant to Sections 6.01(a)(iii) and 6.01(a)(iv), in the reverse order (and in the same ratios) as prior allocations of Net Income pursuant to Sections 6.01(a)(iii) and 6.01(a)(iv), until the aggregate Net Loss allocated to each such Member pursuant to this Section 6.01(b)(i) are equal to the aggregate Net Income allocated to that Member pursuant to Sections 6.01(a)(iii) and 6.01(a)(iv); (ii) Second, to Investor until the amount of Net Loss allocated hereunder for the current and all prior taxable years, net of any Net - 28 - Income allocated to Investor pursuant to Section 6.02(a)(ii) for all prior taxable years, is equal to the Unreturned Transfer Tax Amount; and (iii) Third, the balance, if any, to the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests. 6.03 Special Allocations. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, "partner nonrecourse deductions" (as defined in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)), if any, of the LLC shall be allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the debt to which such deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i), and "nonrecourse deductions" (as defined in Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) of the LLC shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests and "excess nonrecourse liabilities" (as defined in Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)), if any, of the LLC shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. (b) This Agreement shall be deemed to include "qualified income offset," "minimum gain chargeback" and "partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback" provisions within the meaning of the Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code. Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, items of income, gain, loss, and deduction shall be allocated to the Members to the extent and in the manner required by such provisions. (c) To the extent that Net Loss or items of loss or deduction otherwise allocable to a Member hereunder would cause such Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the end of the taxable year, or other period, to which such Net Loss, or items of loss or deduction, relate (after taking into account the allocation of all items of income and gain for such taxable period), such Net Loss, or items of loss or deduction, shall not be allocated to such Member and instead shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with Section 6.02 as if such Member were not a Member. (d) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.07, any allocations required to be made pursuant to Section 6.03(a), Section 6.03(b) and Section 6.03(c) (the "Regulatory Allocations") (other than allocations, the effect of which are likely to be offset in the future by other special allocations) shall be taken into account, to the extent permitted by the Regulations, in computing subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to Section 6.02 so that the net amount of any items so allocated and all other items allocated to such Member shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the amount that would have been allocated to each Member pursuant to Section 6.02 had such Regulatory Allocations under this Section 6.03 not occurred. (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Member shall be allocated for each taxable year, or portion thereof, an amount of gross income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of LLC income and gain and, if necessary, income - 29 - and gain from subsequent years) equal to the amount of distributions received by such Member pursuant to Section 6.05(b)(ii) in respect of such taxable year. (f) It is intended that prior to a distribution of the proceeds from a liquidation of the LLC pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.03, the positive Capital Account balance of each Member shall be equal to the amount that such Member would receive if liquidation proceeds were distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.05(c). Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VI (other than Section 6.07), to the extent permissible under Code Section 704(b) and the Regulations promulgated thereunder and subject to compliance with the Fractions Rule, Net Income and Net Loss and, if necessary, items of gross income and gross deductions, of the LLC for the year of liquidation of the LLC (or, if earlier, the year in which all or substantially all of the LLC assets are sold, transferred or disposed of) shall be allocated among the Members so as to bring the positive Capital Account balance of each Member as close as possible to the amount that such Member would receive if the LLC were liquidated and all of the net proceeds from such liquidation were distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.05(c). 6.04 Tax Allocations; Allocation of Income and Loss. (a) For federal income tax purposes, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.04(b), each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as its corresponding item of book income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to this Article VI. (b) In accordance with Code Sections 704(b) and 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any LLC asset contributed (or deemed contributed) to the capital of the LLC shall, solely for federal income tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such LLC asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value upon its contribution (or deemed contribution). If the Book Value of any LLC asset is adjusted, subsequent allocations of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such LLC asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such LLC asset for federal income tax purposes and the Book Value of such LLC asset in the manner prescribed under Code Sections 704(b) and 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder. Any elections or decisions relating to such allocations shall be made as mutually agreed to by Investor and Reckson. Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.04(b) are solely for tax purpose and shall not affect any Member's Capital Account. (c) If any Interest is transferred during any Fiscal Year in accordance with this Agreement, the Net Income or Net Loss (and other items referred to in Section 6.02) attributable to such Interest for such Fiscal Year shall be allocated between the transferor and the transferee by closing the books of the LLC as of the date of the transfer, or by any other method permitted under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder and agreed to by the Administrative Member and the Members, including the transferor and the transferee. (d) The provisions of this Article VI (and other related provisions in this Agreement) pertaining to the allocation of items of LLC income, gain, loss, deductions, and credits shall be interpreted consistently with the Regulations, and to the extent unintentionally - 30 - inconsistent with such Regulations, shall be deemed to be modified to the extent necessary to make such provisions consistent with the Regulations. 6.05 Distributions of Net Ordinary Cash Flow and Net Extraordinary Cash Flow. (a) Priority of Default Loans/L/C Obligations. For so long as any Default Loan shall remain outstanding, all amounts which otherwise would be distributed under Section 6.05(b), Section 6.05(c) or Section 11.03 or any other provision of this Agreement to a Member who is an obligor under a Default Loan shall be applied instead to repay all outstanding Default Loans. With respect to Default Loans, the same shall be payable pro rata in proportion to the outstanding principal amounts thereof, to be applied first on account of accrued and unpaid interest and next on account of principal. Any Default Loan so applied shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been distributed to the Member which is an obligor under such Default Loan. (b) Distributions of Net Ordinary Cash Flow. Except as provided in Section 6.05(a) or Section 11.03 and subject to the terms and provisions of Sections 6.08, Net Ordinary Cash Flow shall be distributed to the Members monthly in the following proportions: (i) to Investor and Reckson, part passu, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests until Investor shall have received a 1.875% quarterly return on Investor's Outstanding Capital Contributions and Unreturned Transfer Tax Amount; and (ii) the balance of such Net Ordinary Cash Flow, if any, to each of Investor and Reckson in accordance with their respective Promote Percentages. If there is any change in Percentage Interests during any calendar month, the Administrative Member shall (i) for purposes of this Section 6.05(b), calculate Percentage Interests on a "weighted average" basis as of the end of each calendar month on a cumulative month-to-date basis and (ii) calculate Net Ordinary Cash Flow as of the end of each calendar month and apply and distribute Net Ordinary Cash Flow on or before the 24th day of the following month. To accomplish the foregoing, Administrative Member shall cause the Property Owner to make distributions in accordance with Section 12 of the Property Owner LLC Agreement on the same monthly basis as set forth in the preceding sentence. If the Annual Report of the LLC shall show that there was any over-distribution of Net Ordinary Cash Flow to a Member, such Member shall (A) repay the over-distribution within 30 days without interest thereon, after receipt of such report, or (B) be subject to an off-set for such over-distribution on the date or dates of the next distributions of Net Ordinary Cash Flow until such over-distribution is recovered by the LLC. If such Annual Report shall show that there was an under-distribution of Net Ordinary Cash Flow to a Member, such under-distribution shall be paid to such Member without interest thereon, within 30 days after receipt of such report or as promptly thereafter as there is sufficient Net Ordinary Cash Flow. For purposes hereof, the "weighted average" Percentage Interest for any Member shall be calculated for any period as the quotient of (I) the sum of the Percentage Interests of such Member on each day during such period divided by (II) the number of days during such period. - 31 - (c) Net Extraordinary Cash Flow. The Administrative Member shall calculate Net Extraordinary Cash Flow and apply and distribute (other than as set forth in Section 6.05(a) and Net Extraordinary Cash Flow arising from a sale incidental to the dissolution and liquidation of the LLC which shall be distributed in accordance with Section 11.03 and subject to the terms and provisions of Section 6.08 and Section 11.04) such Net Extraordinary Cash Flow, reasonably and promptly after the LLC's receipt thereof, to the Members in the following proportions: (i) to Investor and Reckson, pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests until Investor shall have received an amount equal to Investor's Outstanding Capital Contributions (excluding the Transfer Tax Amount); (ii) next, to Investor until Investor shall have received an amount equal to the Unreturned Transfer Tax Amount; (iii) next to Investor and Reckson, pro rata, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests until Investor shall have received a 12.5% Internal Rate of Return; and (iv) the balance of such Net Extraordinary Cash Flow, if any, to each of Investor and Reckson in accordance with their respective Promote Percentages. The Administrative Member agrees to cause the Property Owner to make distributions of any net cash receipts other than ordinary operating income promptly following the Property Owner's receipt thereof. (d) No Restoration of Funds. Except as provided in Section 6.05(b), no Member shall be required to restore to the LLC any funds properly distributed to such Member pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 6.05 or Section 11.03 unless required by Legal Requirements. (e) Limitation on Distributions. No Member shall be entitled to (i) receive any distribution from the LLC (including a withdrawal of any of such Member's capital) except pursuant to this Section 6.05, (ii) receive interest from the LLC upon any capital contributed to the LLC, or (iii) receive property other than cash in return for such Member's Capital Contributions. 6.06 Compliance with the Fractions Rule. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, allocations under this Agreement shall be made only to the extent that, and shall be adjusted to the extent necessary to ensure that, assuming that Investor is a "qualified organization" within the meaning of Section 514(c)(9)(C) of the Code, the LLC's allocations satisfy the requirements of Section 514(c)(9)(E) of the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and any administrative guidelines or pronouncements thereunder, including so that all allocations have "substantial economic effect" for the purposes of Section 514(c)(9)(E)(i)(II) of the Code. To the extent any adjustment to the allocations under this - 32 - Agreement have been, are or will be made as a result of this Section 6.06 and such adjustments could adversely affect the amount or timing of any distributions that would otherwise be made to Reckson pursuant to Section 6.05 or Section 11.03, Investor agrees to reasonably cooperate with Reckson to make such changes as shall be requested by Reckson to eliminate or reduce the effect of any such adjustments to the allocations under this Agreement, including, to the extent applicable, by allowing the Transfer of a de minimis interest in Reckson or any Reckson Affiliate (and any subsequent Transfer of such de minimis interest) that holds all or a portion of Reckson's Interest; provided, however, that such changes do not in any way adversely affect Investor. 6.07 Withholding Taxes. If the LLC is required to withhold any portion of any distribution or allocation to a Member by applicable federal, state, local or foreign tax laws, the LLC shall withhold such amounts and make such payments to such taxing authorities as are necessary to ensure compliance with such tax laws. Any funds withheld by reason of this Section 6.07 shall nonetheless be deemed distributed or allocated (as the case may be) to the Member in question for all purposes under this Agreement. If the LLC makes any payment to a taxing authority in respect of a Member hereunder that is not withheld from actual distributions to the Member, then the LLC may, at its option, (i) require the Member to reimburse the LLC for such withholding (along with interest at the Default Loan Rate from the date of such withholding until reimbursed or subsequently withheld from distributions); or (ii) reduce any subsequent distributions to such Member by the amount of such withholding (along with interest at the Default Loan Rate from the date of such withholding until reimbursed or subsequently withheld from distributions). The obligation of a Member to reimburse the LLC for taxes that were required to be withheld shall continue after such Member Transfers its interest in the LLC or after a withdrawal by such Member. Each Member agrees to furnish the LLC with any representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested by the LLC to assist it in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, any withholding obligations it may have. 6.08 Venture Administrative Fee. Through and including December 31, 2010, Investor shall, if and to the extent distributions of Net Ordinary Cash Flow or Net Extraordinary Cash Flow shall be sufficient, pay, each calendar month, to Reckson a venture administrative fee (the "Venture Administrative Fee") in an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of twenty-eight and one-half (28.5) basis points multiplied by Investor's Gross Investment, to be paid solely out of distributions of Net Ordinary Cash Flow or Net Extraordinary Cash Flow due to Investor. In furtherance of the foregoing, Administrative Member shall deduct from any amounts otherwise payable to Investor pursuant to Section 6.05(b) or 6.05(c), as the case may be, and shall pay to Reckson an amount equal to any Venture Administration Fee due and payable to Reckson, including, without limitation, any past due Venture Administration Fee (but without interest thereon) from prior calendar months that remain due and payable to Reckson. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Venture Administration Fee shall be treated as an expense of Investor and not of the LLC. 6.09 Intentionally Omitted.GACC Loan Collateral Letters of Credit. At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to any date on which the Property Owner is required to post one or more Collateral Letters of Credit (as defined in the GACC Loan Agreement) pursuant to the terms and provisions of Section 16.2 of the GACC Loan Agreement, Administrative Member shall give written notice of such obligation to - 33 - each non-Administrative Member, provided the only consequences of a failure to deliver such notice are those described in clause (III) below. On or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to the date such Collateral Letters of Credit are required to be delivered pursuant to the GACC Loan Agreement, the Administrative Member shall provide, or cause to be provided, its pro rata share (based upon Percentage Interests) of such required letters of credit and shall provide a copy of such letters of credit to the other Members. On or prior to the later of (i) the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to the date such Collateral Letters of Credit are required to be delivered pursuant to the GACC Loan Agreement or (ii) the expiration of the ten (10) Business Day notice period described above, the non-Administrative Members shall each provide, or cause to be provided, their pro rata share (based upon Percentage Interests) of such required letters of credit (each Member's obligation under this sentence and the immediately preceding sentence is an "L/C Obligation"). In the event a Member fails to timely meet its L/C Obligation (the "L/C Defaulting Member") and the other Member (the "L/C Contributing Member") timely provides an L/C (or L/C's) on the L/C Defaulting Member's behalf (such L/C(s) are "Back-Up L/C's"), then: (I) the L/C Defaulting Member shall pay all costs incurred by the L/C Contributing Member in connection with providing the Back-Up L/C(s) (including any letter of credit fees or other security posted with the issuing bank) (the "Additional L/C Costs") plus interest at the LIBOR Default Rate on both (X) any unpaid portion of the Additional L/C Costs and (Y) the face (i.e., principal) amount of any Back-Up L/C's (the "L/C Principal Amount") for the period from the date incurred until the date repaid (except with respect to the L/C Principal Amount, such interest shall terminate on the date, if any, the Back-Up L/C(s) are returned to the applicable Member); (II) if any Back-up L/C is drawn upon by GACC, then simultaneously with such draw, the L/C Defaulting Member shall be deemed to be an obligor under a Default Loan under Section 5.02(b) which shall have a principal amount equal to the portion of the face amount of such Back-Up L/C so drawn (the "L/C Draw Amount") plus the unpaid Additional L/C Costs, except that the interest payable on such Default Loan shall be at the greater of the Default Loan Rate or the LIBOR Default Rate. If the Default Loan is not repaid in full to the L/C Contributing Member on or prior to the date that is 90 days after the initial date of the Default Loan hereunder, the L/C Contributing Member shall have the option, exercisable within 30 days following the expiration of such 90-day period, to cause the L/C Draw Amount and the Additional L/C Costs to constitute "Contributing Member Contributions" under Section 5.02(b)(ii); except that the number "1.25" in Section 5.02(b)(ii) (solely for purposes of this Section 6.10) shall be deemed to be "1.50"; (III) if a non-Administrative Member is not required to provide, or cause to be provided, its proportionate share of the Collateral - 34 - Letters of Credit prior to the date required pursuant to the GACC Loan Agreement and a L/C Contributing Member timely provides a Back-Up L/C in place of such non-Administrative Member's L/C, such non-Administrative Member shall reimburse the L/C Contributing Member's actual out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection therewith through the earlier to occur of (x) Administrative Member's receipt of such non-Administrative Member's L/C and (y) the expiration of the ten (10) Business Day notice period described in Section 6.10(a) above, and, after such expiration, unless and until delivery of such non-Administrative Member's L/C to the Administrative Member, such non-Administrative Member shall be a L/C Defaulting Member and subject to the terms and provisions of paragraphs (I) and (L) above. Any amounts payable under paragraphs (I), (II) and (III) above shall be paid in accordance with Section 6.05(a) above and not distributed to the defaulting Member and, in such event, shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as if such amounts were distributed to such defaulting Member. (b) If both Members timely meet their L/C Obligations and GACC draws upon the letters of credit in a manner that results in one Member having amounts on its letter of credit drawn down in an amount which is disproportionately higher than the draw down on the letter of credit of the other Member (the amount of any such disproportion, hereinafter referred to as the "Disproportionate Draw Amount"), the second such Member shall reimburse the first Member, within ten (10) Business Days of such draw down, an amount equal to (i) the Disproportionate Draw Amount, plus (ii) an amount equal to the interest accrued and payable by the first Member on the Disproportionate Draw Amount from the date drawn down until the reimbursement by the second Member. Any such amount not reimbursed within such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to be a Default Loan and subject to the terms and provisions of Section 5.02(b). (c) Any amounts payable under this Section 6.10 (other than any actual or deemed payments resulting from a contribution of any Default Loan to the Company) shall, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, be treated as a payment made, and where applicable, an expense incurred by, the Member making such payment. ARTICLE VII MANAGEMENT 7.01 Management Committee. (a) Until such time as Citibank exercises the Citibank Surrender Option, the business and affairs of the LLC shall be managed and operated under the direction of the management committee of the LLC (the "Management Committee") which shall make all decisions on behalf of the LLC (subject to the terms of this Agreement) including, without limitation, Major Decisions. Following such time as the Citibank Surrender Option is exercised, the Administrative Member shall, in accordance with the terms and - 35 - provisions of Section 7.03(a), manage and operate the business and affairs of the LLC, subject to the right of the Management Committee to approve Major Decisions and the remaining provisions of this Agreement. The Reckson Members, on the one hand, and the Investor Members, on the other hand, shall each elect one (1) member (the "Reckson Committee Member" and the "Investor Committee Member", respectively) to the Management Committee, which shall consist of a total of two (2) members. The Reckson Members and the Investor Members may each appoint up to three (3) alternate members of the Management Committee (consisting of a total of up to six (6) alternate members). The Management Committee shall meet regularly to review the operations of the Applicable Entities and the Property but not less often than once per calendar quarter. Any one of the alternate members appointed by the Reckson Committee Member and by the Investor Committee Member shall be entitled to act on behalf of the Reckson Committee Member and the Investor Committee Member, respectively, in their absence. The Reckson Members, or Investor, may, at any time upon not less than 2 days prior written notice to the other, change its member or alternate members of the Management Committee. As of the date hereof, Reckson appoint Philip M. Waterman Ill as its member of the Management Committee and Salvatore CampoFranco, Richard Conniff and FD Rich III as alternate members to the Management Committee. As of the date hereof, Investor appoints, Joseph Dobronyi as its member of the Management Committee and Scott MacDonald, James Walsh and T. Sanford Monaghan as alternate members to the Management Committee. (b) The Management Committee shall meet at the request of the Reckson Members' Group Agent or Investor Members' Group Agent. Such meetings may be called by either member of the Management Committee upon not less than 2 Business Days prior notice to the other member of the Management Committee. The attendance of a member of the Management Committee at a meeting of the Management Committee either in person or telephonically (other than for the purposes of protesting the absence of notice of the meeting) shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting. The meetings of the Management Committee may be held (i) at the Property or the principal place of business of the Administrative Member, if applicable, if in Manhattan, (ii) by telephone conference or (iii) by other means determined by the members of the Management Committee. No meeting shall be conducted unless both of the members of the Management Committee are present. Telephonic participation in any meeting by either member of the Management Committee shall constitute such member's presence at such meeting for all purposes of this Agreement. Any decision made by the Management Committee at a duly convened meeting shall constitute the act of and approval by the Management Committee and shall be binding upon the LLC. The decisions of the Management Committee shall be reflected in the minutes of the Management Committee meetings or in resolutions adopted by the Management Committee. Any decision or other action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Management Committee may be taken without a meeting by written resolution if a copy of such resolution is delivered to both members of the Management Committee and shall be effective upon the date on which both members of the Management Committee consent thereto in writing. - 36 - (c) Failure by a member of the Management Committee (or such member's alternate) to be present at a scheduled meeting of the Management Committee shall constitute a deadlock between the Management Committee members with respect to the matter(s) which are the subject of such meeting and, accordingly, such matter(s) shall be deemed disapproved. (d) The members of the Management Committee shall not receive compensation for their positions as members of the Management Committee. Each Member shall pay all expenses associated with its Management Committee member's attendance of meetings of the Management Committee. (e) Each Management Committee member may, in making Major Decisions, act in the interests of the Member it represents without considering the interests of the LLC or of any Unaffiliated Member and without incurring any liability therefor to the LLC or any Unaffiliated Member (including, without limitation, any liability for breach of fiduciary obligations). 7.02 Major Decisions. Without the unanimous approval of the Management Committee, the Administrative Member will not be permitted to cause the LLC to take (or, when applicable, cause the Property Owner to take) any action that would constitute a Major Decision. The "Major Decisions" are: (a) selling, transferring, assigning, conveying, exchanging or otherwise disposing of the LLC Assets or the assets of the Property Owner other than (i) personal property, fixtures and equipment at the Property which may be disposed of or replaced due to wear and tear or obsolescence or otherwise in the ordinary course of business, (ii) Leases, which shall be governed by Section 7.02(d) and (iii) a sale of the Property, in accordance with Section 10.01; (b) borrowing money on behalf of the LLC or the Property Owner (including any Mortgage Loan other than the GACC Loan which is in effect as of the date hereof and the terms and provisions of which are hereby approved by the parties hereto) whether on a secured or unsecured basis (other than Permitted Equipment Financings if permitted under the Mortgage Loans) or refinancing, recasting, extending, compromising or otherwise materially amending any Mortgage Loan or unsecured loan; (c) acquiring any additional real property or any interest in any legal entity; (d) (i) entering into a Lease of more than two (2) floors of the Building (regardless of the size of the floor) (a "Major Lease"); (ii) entering into a Lease which materially deviates (on a net present value basis) from the parameters of the Leasing Guidelines; or (iii) (A) amending or modifying a Major Lease, (B) terminating a Major Lease or (C) providing any consent under a Major Lease unless any such consent is required pursuant to the terms and provisions of the applicable Major Lease and is not subject to the discretion of the landlord thereunder. - 37 - (e) (i) instituting any major litigation where the amount in controversy exceeds $500,000; provided that the Administrative Member may, upon notice to the Members but without the Management Committee's consent, institute any litigation against a tenant which has defaulted under its Lease or (ii) settle any major litigation or dispute where the LLC or the Property Owner is obligated to make a payment greater than $500,000 net of insurance recoveries; provided that the Administrative Member will agree to notify the Members prior to settling any litigation that does not require the Management Committee's consent if the LLC or the Property Owner is obligated to make a payment of greater than $20,000 net of insurance recoveries to effectuate such settlement; (f) approving any material modification to any Applicable Entity's or Managing Agent's, as and when there is a Managing Agent for the Property, existing insurance program, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall be deemed approved if the non-Administrative Member(s) shall fail, within 10 days following Administrative Member's delivery to the non-Administrative Member(s) of a notice of such modification, to object in writing (such objection to state the basis for the same). A "material modification" shall not be deemed to have occurred if Administrative Member or Managing Agent shall modify an insurance program to (i) cause Property Owner to be in compliance with (x) an outstanding Mortgage Loan or (y) a Major Lease or (ii) replace an existing insurance carrier so long as the replacement carrier has a rating in Best Insurance Reports not lower than the rating of the existing insurance carrier at the time the existing carrier was approved (it being acknowledged that if a change in insurance carriers shall be accompanied by a material increase in the cost and/or a material reduction in the scope of insurance coverage, such change shall be deemed a "material modification"). Any dispute arising under this clause (f) shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with Article XV and, until such dispute shall be resolved, Administrative Member shall (to the extent commercially practicable) cause the Applicable Entity or Managing Agent, if applicable, to maintain the insurance program(s) in effect immediately prior to the modification in dispute; (g) selecting or changing the auditor for the LLC or the Property Owner; provided the non-Administrative Members shall (x) not unreasonably withhold or delay their consent to any so-called "Big Four" accounting firm selected by Administrative Member and (y) be deemed to have consented to the "Big Four" accounting firm in question if within 10 days following Administrative Member's delivery of a written notice stating the proposed "Big Four" auditor, the non-Administrative Member(s) fail to object in writing (such objection to state the basis for the same).

For the sake of clarity, the parties confirm that the Administrative Member need not furnish Leasing Guidelines for any space at the Property that is leased or is not reasonably anticipated to become available for leasing during such Fiscal Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing within 30 days after the exercise by Citibank of the Citibank Surrender Option (or other surrender by Citibank of space at the Property), the Administrative Member shall prepare Leasing Guidelines for the Property to be approved by the non-Administrative Member.

If the Management Committee shall have provided any Comments to the revised Business Plan, the Administrative Member shall submit, within 15 days following receipt of the Comments, a further revised Business Plan which may incorporate the Comments or may not incorporate the Comments, in whole or in part. If the Management Committee shall fail to approve, in writing, all or any portion of the revised Business Plan on or prior to the expiration of the 30-day period set forth above (or if any Comments are not incorporated by the - 43 - Administrative Member into such further revised Business Plan draft), the Management Committee shall be deemed to have rejected the same (or such unincorporated Comments) and, accordingly, the Business Plan for such Fiscal Year shall be implemented in accordance with paragraph (e) below. (c) The Administrative Member may at any time request the Management Committee's consent to modify the Business Plan on account of unanticipated market changes, or for any other reason, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall be deemed rejected if the Management Committee shall fail to grant or deny such consent within 10 Business Days after receipt of the proposed modification. The Business Plan, as modified in accordance with this subsection (c), shall be deemed to be the "Business Plan" for all purposes herein. The Members acknowledge and agree that the figures set forth in each Business Plan are only estimates and not a guaranty by the Administrative Member and there may be substantial variations between the estimates set forth in a Business Plan and actual results. (d) The Administrative Member shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Property Owner to cause the Managing Agent to operate the Property in conformity with the applicable Business Plan and the permitted variances therefrom as set forth in Section 7.02(k).

(f) On the date hereof the Members have adopted the Business Plan for the remainder of the Fiscal Year 2005 and the Fiscal Year 2006 (the "2005-2006 Business Plan") (it being understood that any Business Plans for any subsequent Fiscal Years shall not include any portion of the preceding Fiscal Year). (g) The Administrative Member shall be entitled to cause the LLC and the Property Owner to pay all charges as and when due to the extent such charges are either consistent with the Business Plan or are Necessary Expenses. 7.06 Other Activities of Members. A Member (or any Affiliate thereof') may own, purchase, sell, or otherwise deal in any manner with any property other than the Property without notice to any Unaffiliated Member, without participation of any Unaffiliated Member, and without liability to the LLC, the Property Owner or any Unaffiliated Member, and a Member may, without notice to any Unaffiliated Member and without obligation to present to the LLC or to the Property Owner or any Unaffiliated Member an opportunity of any kind whatsoever, acquire, sell, finance, lease, operate, manage, develop or syndicate any real property not owned by the Property Owner, free of any claim whatsoever of any Unaffiliated Member, the Property - 44 - Owner or the LLC.

As soon as practicable after the end of each taxable year of the LLC but in no event later than one hundred fifty (150) days after the end of such taxable year, the Administrative Member shall provide Investor with a copy of the LLC's federal income tax return for such taxable year for its review and comment. The Administrative Member agrees to resolve in good faith any amendments or changes to the LLC's federal income tax return requested by Investor, provided that Investor requests such amendment or change within ten (10) days after receipt of such tax return for its review and comment, and such amendment or change is not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, provided that in no event shall the Administrative Member be required to accept any such amendment or changes requested by Investor. If Investor does not provide any comments to the LLC's federal income tax return within the foregoing ten (10) day period, Investor shall be deemed to have consented to the filing of the LLC's federal income tax return for such year. The Administrative Member shall furnish each Member, at the expense of the LLC, with a final statement of the Member's - 50 - distributive share of income, gains, losses, deductions and credits for such Fiscal Year on a Form K-1 and such other information (including copies of any tax returns that have been filed by the LLC) as is reasonably necessary for the Member to complete such Member's applicable U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income tax returns. The LLC shall also provide information to Investor on a quarterly basis within twenty (20) days after the end of each Fiscal Quarter, or at such other times as Investor may reasonably request, regarding the nature and amount of the LLC's assets and gross income that is sufficient to permit the members of Investor to ascertain its compliance with applicable REIT income and asset requirements and to comply with record keeping requirements under the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations relating to REIT's; provided, however, in no event shall a breach of this provision give rise to (i) any cause of action by Investor or any of its members against the LLC, Reckson, any of the direct or indirect members of Reckson or any principal, partner, shareholder, member, controlling person, officer, director, agent or employee of any of the aforesaid Persons, (ii) any basis for the removal of Reckson as Administrative Member, if Reckson shall be the Administrative Member, or (iii) any liability, loss or damage on the part of the LLC, Reckson, any of the direct or indirect members of Reckson or any principal, partner, shareholder, member, controlling person, officer, director, agent or employee of any of the aforesaid Persons. (b) The Administrative Member shall cause all LLC tax returns to be timely prepared, at the expense of the LLC, so that they may be filed with the applicable government authorities within allowable time periods, including extensions, and so that the LLC can provide the Members with the tax returns and information. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Administrative Member shall make all decisions with respect to the treatment of LLC transactions in the LLC's federal, state, local and foreign tax returns. (c) Reckson shall be the tax matters partner (as described in Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code) of the LLC. Upon consultation with the Management Committee, the tax matters partner may extend the statute of limitations on behalf of the LLC, select the LLC's choice of litigation forum in any tax action, or take any other action in its capacity as the tax matters partner. The tax matters partner shall keep the Management Committee fully advised of the progress of any audit or other tax proceeding and shall, promptly upon receipt, supply the Members and the Management Committee with copies of any written communications received from the Internal Revenue Service, or other taxing authority, and shall, to the extent practicable, at least five business days prior to submitting any materials to the Internal Revenue Service, or other taxing authority, provide such materials to the Members Management Committee. Any direct or indirect costs and expenses incurred by the tax matters partner, acting in its capacity as such, shall be deemed to be LLC Charges and the LLC shall reimburse the tax matters partner for such amounts. The tax matters partner shall not enter into any settlement with any taxing authority (federal, state or local) without the approval of the Management Committee. (d) Reckson may be removed as the tax matters partner by written notice from the Investor Members upon ten (10) Business Days written notice, should any of the events described in Section 7.03(b)(i), (ii) or (iii) occur or the Percentage Interest of Reckson and any of its Affiliated Members, if any, shall collectively be less than ten percent (10%); provided, however, if the event giving rise to any such notice is an event described in Section 7.03(b)(iii), - 51 - Reckson shall have the notice and cure rights that are described in the final paragraph of Section 7.03(b), prior to its removal as the tax matters partner. The Administrative Member shall not cause the LLC to make or knowingly cause the LLC to refrain from making any material federal income tax elections unless approved by Investor (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned), it being understood that for purposes hereof, such tax elections as may be made by the Administrative Member on behalf of the LLC in the ordinary course of managing and/or operating the LLC (including, without limitation, any election relating to depreciation, amortization, capitalization of expense and accounting methods) shall not constitute material tax elections. For purposes of this Section 8.05(d), Investor shall be deemed to have consented to any election (or any election not made by the LLC) shown on any U.S. federal income tax return of the LLC, in respect of which election (or any election not made by the LLC), Investor did not provide any comments on after receipt of the LLC's federal income tax return in accordance with the ten (10) day time period provided in Section 8.05(a). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if either Member requests that the Administrative Member make an election under Section 754 of the Code, the Administrative Member shall make this election (which election shall not be subject to the consent of Investor) promptly after receiving notice of the request from the Member. 8.06 Communications. Administrative Member shall keep the Members informed as to all matters of material concern to the LLC and shall deliver to the Members promptly upon the receipt or sending thereof copies of all notices, reports and communications (A) between an Applicable Entity and any holder of a Mortgage Loan which relate to any existing or pending default thereunder or to any material financial or operational information required by such holder and (B) regarding material violations or lawsuits affecting the Property. 8.07 Partnership. The LLC shall be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and no Member shall make any election (for tax purposes or otherwise) inconsistent with such treatment. Unless consented to by all of the Members, the Property Owner shall be and remain treated as a disregarded entity (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations 301.7701-2(c)) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. ARTICLE IX TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS; RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL; PLEDGES 9.01 Restrictions on Transfers of LLC Interests. (a) Except as specifically permitted under this Article IX, no Member shall, directly or indirectly, sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of (such transactions being herein collectively called "Transfers") all or any part of such Member's Interest without the prior written consent of all Unaffiliated Members, and any such Transfer made in violation of the foregoing shall be void ab initio. An Upper Tier Transfer shall be deemed a Transfer for the purposes hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Sections 9.03 and 9.04 in each case: (i) Reckson OP, One Court Square Member LLC, Reckson Member, at any time without the requirement of any consent or compliance with any other procedures or - 52 - conditions precedent in this Agreement, may Transfer its respective direct or indirect ownership interests in the LLC, or any portion thereof, to an Affiliate so long as such Affiliate is one hundred percent (100%) owned, directly or indirectly, by Reckson OP. (ii) Each Investor Entity, at any time without the requirement of any consent or compliance with any other procedures or conditions precedent in this Agreement, may Transfer its respective direct or indirect ownership interests in the LLC, or any portion thereof, to another Investor Entity (or to a wholly owned Affiliate). (iii) SSPF, at any time without the requirement of any consent or compliance with any other procedures or conditions precedent in this Agreement, may Transfer its respective direct or indirect ownership interests in the LLC, or any portion thereof, to any trust (or wholly owned Affiliate thereof) formed after the date hereof, which trust shall acquire a portfolio of assets from SSPF and be advised by the advisor to SSPF or another Acceptable Advisor ("SSPF Replacement Trust"). (iv) Reckson, at any time without the requirement of any consent or compliance with any other procedures or conditions precedent in this Agreement, may Transfer up to and including twenty percent (20%) of all of the Interests in the LLC (i.e., not merely twenty percent (20%) of Reckson's Interest) held by Reckson Members to an Australian Limited Property Trust to be formed by Reckson, provided such trust shall either be (A) a passive limited liability interest in the LLC or (B) controlled by Reckson OP. (v) At any time without the requirement of any consent or compliance with any other procedures or conditions precedent in this Agreement, transfers of units or interests or changes of beneficiaries of Reckson OP, any entity owning a direct or indirect interest in Reckson OP, Successor Principal or any entity owning a direct or indirect interest in Successor Principal shall not be deemed to be "Transfers" and shall not be subject to any restrictions provided in this Agreement. (vi) At any time without the requirement of any consent or compliance with any other procedures or conditions precedent in this Agreement, transfers of units or interests or changes of beneficiaries or participants of (i) the I&G Fund, any entity owning a direct or indirect interest in the I&G Fund, Successor Principal or any entity owning a direct or indirect interest in Successor Principal, (ii) SSPF, any entity owning a direct or indirect interest in SSPF, Successor Principal or any entity owning a direct or indirect interest in Successor Principal, and (iii) NAPI, any entity owning a direct or indirect interest in NAPI, Successor Principal or any entity owning a direct or indirect interest in Successor Principal, shall not be deemed to be "Transfers" and shall not be subject to any restrictions provided in this Agreement. 9.02 Right of First Offer. (a) At any time following the second anniversary of the date hereof (the "2"d Anniversary Date") (i) if (x) the Reckson Members or their direct or indirect owners or (y) the Investor Members or their direct or indirect owners (as applicable, the "Transferring Member") desire to Transfer all or a portion of their respective interests in the LLC other than in accordance with Section 9.01, then the following provisions shall apply: - 53 - (A) the Group Agent of the Transferring Member shall give to the Group Agent of the Unaffiliated Members (such Unaffiliated Members are for purposes of this Section 9.02, collectively the "Non-Transferring Member") a written notice (the "First Offer Notice") setting forth (x) the material business terms of the proposed Transfer including the price (the "Offering Price") at which the Transferring Member proposes to Transfer all or a portion of its Interest or indirect interest, as the case may be, provided that if the Transferring Member proposes to Transfer an indirect interest in the LLC, the Affiliate of such Transferring Member that owns a direct interest in the LLC shall offer, and the Non-Transferring Member shall purchase, an equivalent direct Interest in the LLC and the Members hereto shall cooperate to effectuate a Transfer of a direct interest in the LLC (the Interest being transferred is the "Applicable Interest"); and (y) the name and address of the Escrow Agent (as defined below), which notice need not identify or specify a proposed transferee. By way of example only, if the Transferring Member owns a 60% interest in a Member that owns a 30% interest in the LLC and such Transferring Member proposes to Transfer its 60% interest, such Member shall offer, and the non-Transferring Member shall purchase, an 18% direct interest in the LLC from such Member. The material business terms shall in all events provide that the Offering Price will be payable entirely in cash, in immediately available funds; (B) within 30 days following the delivery of the First Offer Notice (the "Binding Commitment Period"), the Non-Transferring Member may, by notice (the "Binding Commitment Notice") in writing to the Transferring Member elect to make a binding commitment to purchase the Applicable Interest at the Offering Price and upon other terms specified in the First Offer Notice); and (C) simultaneously with the delivery of the Binding Commitment Notice on or before the end of the Binding Commitment Period, the Non-Transferring Member shall deliver to the New York office of one of the five largest national title insurance companies in the United States which shall be designated by the Transferring Member in the First Offer Notice (the "Escrow Agent") a deposit (the "Deposit") equal to 5% of the Offering Price which shall be (x) non-refundable (except if the Transferring Member shall wrongfully fail to close the sale of the Applicable Interest under paragraph (e) below) and (y) held in escrow pursuant to an escrow agreement in a form reasonably agreeable to the parties and the Non-Transferring Member shall be obligated to purchase the Applicable Interest on a date not more than 120 days following the end of the Binding Commitment Period (such date to be determined by the Non-Transferring Member on not less than 15 days prior notice to the Transferring Member, or if no such notice is sent, then on the 105th day following the end of the Binding Commitment Period). The Binding Commitment Notice shall be void ab initio if the Non-Transferring Member fails to deliver the Deposit simultaneously with the delivery of the Binding Commitment Notice. The date upon which the closing of the purchase of the Applicable Interest shall occur shall be called the "ROFO Closing Date". (b) On the ROFO Closing Date: (i) the Transferring Member shall deliver to the Non-Transferring Member or its designee a duly executed and acknowledged instrument of assignment conveying the Applicable Interest to the Non-Transferring Member or its designee(s) free and clear of all - 54 - liens and encumbrances (other than any lien or encumbrance secured by the Property (the "Secured Liabilities")); (ii) the Transferring Member shall pay all transfer, stamp or similar taxes, if any, due in connection with the conveyance of the Applicable Interest; (iii) the Escrow Agent shall pay the Deposit and the Non-Transferring Member shall pay the balance of the Offering Price (as adjusted by the credits and apportionments herein set forth) to Transferring Member by wire transfer in immediately available funds; (iv) the LLC shall close its books as of the ROFO Closing Date; (v) Net Ordinary Cash Flow and Net Extraordinary Cash Flow hereunder to the ROFO Closing Date shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.05; (vi) the Offering Price shall (A) be increased by the aggregate amount of all additional Capital Contributions made by the Transferring Member on account of the Applicable Interest in the period between the date of the First Offer Notice and the ROFO Closing Date and (B) be decreased by any Net Extraordinary Cash Flow distributed to the Transferring Member on account of the Applicable Interest during such period; (vii) the Members shall execute all amendments to fictitious name, membership or similar certificates necessary to reflect the withdrawal of the Transferring Member from the LLC (if applicable), the admission of any new Member to the LLC (if applicable), the termination of the LLC, or as may otherwise be required by the LLC Act or as contemplated by Section 2.01; (viii) the Non-Transferring Member shall provide the Transferring Member's Recourse Parties with Releases or a Release Indemnity in accordance with Section 12.03; and (ix) each Member shall be reasonable and shall cooperate with the other Members and the transferee in consummating the transaction contemplated by this Section 9.02, including, without limitation, by executing such documents as may reasonably be required in connection therewith. (c) (i) If the Non-Transferring Member fails timely to deliver a Binding Commitment Notice to the Transferring Member, the Transferring Member shall have the right, subject to this Section 9.02(c), to sell the Applicable Interest, provided that (1) the gross purchase price (without deduction for any brokerage or similar fees payable in connection with such sale) is at a price greater than 95% of the Offering Price, (2) the other terms and conditions of the sale, when taken as a whole, are not (taken as a whole) materially less favorable to the Transferring Member than the terms and conditions set forth in the First Offer Notice, (3) the transferee shall deliver to all Recourse Parties "Releases", or if not obtainable, "Release Indemnities" (as such terms are defined in Section 10.01(a)), (4) the Non-Transferring Member has been given an - 55 - Identity Notice under clause (ii) below and has failed to give a proper and timely Dispute Notice with respect to the proposed transferee identified therein and (5) the closing of such sale shall occur not later than 12 months following the expiration of the Binding Commitment Period, and upon such closing the proposed transferee shall succeed to all the rights, obligations and responsibilities of the Transferring Member. (ii) If at any point prior to the close of the 12-month period set forth above, the Transferring Member shall provide a written notice (the "Identity Notice") to the Non-Transferring Member identifying the proposed transferee and if, within 7 Business Days following delivery of the Identity Notice, the Non-Transferring Member shall deliver a written notice (the "Dispute Notice") to the Transferring Member stating that (x) the Non-Transferring Member and the proposed transferee are currently engaged in a material litigation (and the Dispute Notice shall provide written evidence of such material litigation) or (y) if the Non-Transferring Member is the Reckson Members, the proposed transferee or any of its Affiliates is a Competitor (as defined below) of the Reckson Members or their Affiliates, then, in the case of (x) or (y), the Transferring Member shall not be permitted to transfer its Interest to such proposed transferee. "Competitor" shall mean any Person that either on its own, or together with its Affiliate, (i) owns (other than principally for its own use) either directly, or indirectly through Affiliates of such Person, greater than a 7.5% interest in at least 2.5 million square feet of office space in New York, New Jersey or Connecticut or (ii) is currently developing, or has developed in the immediately preceding 3-year period, at least two million square feet of office space in New York, New Jersey or Connecticut, or any Person which is controlled by a Competitor; provided, however, a Competitor shall not include insurance companies, commercial banks or investment banks acting for their own account, religious, educational or eleemosynary institutions, federal, state, municipal or other governmental or secular employee's welfare, benefit, pension or retirement funds, or other similar passive real estate investors. The Non-Transferring Member's failure to furnish the Dispute Notice on or prior to the close of the 7 Business-Day period described above shall constitute a waiver of the right to dispute such transferee. The Non-Transferring Member shall within 10 Business Days after request therefor from the Transferring Member, execute and deliver such documentation as the Transferring Member shall reasonably request evidencing the Non-Transferring Member's waiver of the right to purchase the Applicable Interest, and confirming that there are no outstanding Dispute Notices with respect to a proposed transferee but the failure to do so shall in no way affect the Transferring Member's right to sell the Applicable Interest as described herein. (d) If the Transferring Member does not close a sale of the Applicable Interest which satisfies the requirements of Section 9.02(c) above within the 12-month period described in Section 9.02(c), then the Transferring Member may not sell the Applicable Interest without once again giving notice to the Non-Transferring Member pursuant to Section 9.02(a) above. (e) If the Transferring Member or the Non-Transferring Member shall fail to close the sale of an Applicable Interest contemplated by this Section 9.02 after the Binding Commitment Notice has been given, then the non-failing Member may, as its sole remedies (i) seek specific performance of the failing Member's obligations, (ii) if the failing Member shall be (x) the Non-Transferring Member, the Transferring Member may retain the Deposit as liquidated damages or (y) the Transferring Member, the Escrow Agent shall immediately return - 56 - the Deposit to the Non-Transferring Member; (iii) sell its Interest during the 12 month period immediately succeeding the scheduled ROFO Closing Date without complying with the right of first offer described in this Section 9.02 and such buyer shall succeed to all of the rights, obligations and responsibilities of the Transferring Member under this Agreement or (iv) have the unilateral right (the "Unilateral Sale Right") to cause the LLC to cause the Property Owner to sell the Property to an independent third party, without complying with the procedures set forth in Section 10.01 but only if such sale shall close not later than twelve (12) months following the ROFO Closing Date. During such 12-month period following the scheduled ROFO Closing Date the failing Member shall not be permitted to invoke any of the procedures set forth in this Section 9.02 or in Sections 10.01 or 10.02. The non-failing member may exercise any one or more of the foregoing remedies, but such remedies shall collectively be the sole remedies of the non-failing Member. 9.03 Conditions Applicable to All Transfers. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Transfer of any Interest by a Member shall be made in full compliance with all Legal Requirements. In the event that any filing, application, approval or consent is required in connection with any such Transfer, the transferring Member shall promptly make such filing or application or obtain such approval or consent, at its sole expense, and shall reimburse the Unaffiliated Members for any costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by such Member in connection with any filing, application, approval or consent. Any Member that Transfers its Interest shall have implemented procedures to ensure that neither the transferee nor any Person who owns any equity interest in such transferee is a Prohibited Person or Controlled by a Prohibited Person (provided that this requirement shall not apply to any Person to the extent that such Person's interest in the LLC is through a U.S. Publicly-Traded Entity). (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Transfer of the Interest of a Member shall be binding upon the Unaffiliated Members unless (i) such Transfer will not be subject to, or such Transfer, when aggregated with prior Transfers in accordance with Legal Requirements, will not result in the imposition of any state, city or local transfer taxes to the LLC or the non-transferring Member (except to the extent it is specifically provided herein that the non-transferring Member is obligated to pay all or a portion of such taxes), unless the transferring Member agrees to pay such transfer tax and to indemnify the non-transferring Member therefrom, (ii) in the case of a Transfer of a direct Interest the transferee shall have delivered to such Unaffiliated Member an executed and acknowledged assumption agreement pursuant to which the transferee assumes all the obligations of the transferor accruing from and after the date of such Transfer under, and agrees to be bound by all the provisions of, this Agreement (or, in the case where the transferee is an Affiliate of the transferor, from and after the date of this Agreement), subject to the limitations of liabilities set forth herein, and (iii) in the case of the Transfer of a direct Interest, the transferee shall have executed, acknowledged and delivered any instruments required under the LLC Act to effect such Transfer and its admission to the LLC. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall an Interest be transferred to a Person who is the subject of any pending bankruptcy proceedings, or to a Person who is a minor or who otherwise lacks legal capacity, and any attempt to effect a Transfer to such a Person shall be void and of no effect and shall not bind the LLC. - 57 - (c) Notwithstanding any Transfer made pursuant to this Article IX but subject to the limitations expressly stated in this Agreement, including Article XII, the Transferring Member shall remain liable for all of the obligations and liabilities of the Transferring Member under this Agreement, whether accruing prior to, on or from and after the date of such Transfer; provided, that the Transferring Member shall be relieved of any such obligations and liabilities accruing from and after the date of such Transfer if the transferee shall have delivered to the Unaffiliated Member an executed and acknowledged assumption agreement pursuant to which the transferee assumes all the obligations of the Transferring Member accruing from and after the date of such Transfer under, and agrees to be bound by all the provisions of, this Agreement (or, in the case where the transferee is an Affiliate of the Transferring Member, from and after the date of this Agreement). In connection with any Transfer permitted under this Article IX, each Member hereby consents to the withdrawal of the Transferring Member as a Member and the admission of the transferee as a Member with the rights of the Transferring Member hereunder. (d) The LLC, each Member and any other Person or Persons having business with the LLC, need deal only with Members who are admitted as Members or as substituted Members of the LLC, and they shall not be required to deal with any other Person by reason of Transfer by a Member or by reason of the death of a Member, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. In the absence of the substitution (as provided herein) of a Member for a transferring or a deceased Member, any payment to a Member or to a Member's executors or administrators shall acquit the LLC and the other Members of all liability to any other Persons who may be interested in such payment by reason of an assignment by, or the death of, such Member. (e) No Member shall transfer, or permit the transfer (including, without limitation, by means of an Upper Tier Transfer) of, all or any portion of the Interests held by such Member unless the same is done in accordance with the requirements of Applicable Loan Documents or the Citibank Lease. (f) No Member shall Transfer and the LLC shall not permit the Transfer (including, without limitation, by means of an Upper Tier Transfer, a Transfer to another Member or its affiliate or any other Transfer otherwise permitted under this Article IX) of all or any portion of the Interests held by such Member to a "benefit plan investor" or "controlling person" (within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulation) if, following such Transfer, equity participation in the LLC by benefit plan investors would be "significant" (within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulation). (g) No Member shall transfer, or permit the transfer (including, without limitation, by means of an Upper Tier Transfer) of, all or any portion of the Interests held by such Member, if such transfer would constitute a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406(a) or Section 407 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 9.01 or 9.02 or Article X, Reckson and/or any direct or indirect owner of Reckson shall not be permitted to effectuate any Transfer which would result in Reckson Operating Partnership, L.P. owning less than ten percent (10%) of the direct or indirect ownership interests in the LLC unless, after - 58 - such Transfer, Reckson Operating Partnership, L.P. shall own zero percent (0%) of the direct or indirect ownership interests in the LLC. The terms and provisions of this Section 9.03(h) shall not apply to any adjustments to direct or indirect ownership interests made pursuant to the terms and provisions of Section 5.02 hereof. 9.04 Admission of Transferee. Any Person who becomes a Member, accepts, ratifies and agrees to be bound by all actions duly taken pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement by the LLC prior to the date of its membership in the LLC and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, specifically ratifies and approves all agreements and other instruments as may have been properly executed and delivered on behalf of the LLC in accordance with this Agreement prior to said date and which are in force and effect on said date. Unless and until a transferee is admitted as a substituted Member, the transferee shall be entitled only to allocations and distributions with respect to such Interest in accordance with this Agreement, and shall have no right to any information or accounting of the affairs of the LLC, shall not be entitled to inspect the books or records of the LLC, and shall not have no right to exercise any of the powers, rights, and privileges of a Member hereunder. 9.05 Pledge of Interest. (a) Provided such pledge is not intended to circumvent the restrictions on Transfers contained in this Agreement, each Member and any entity owning a direct or indirect interest in Member may pledge, collaterally assign (including any assignment of income or profits) or otherwise hypothecate or create or permit to exist a lien against (collectively "Pledge") its Interest or any direct or indirect ownership interests in a Member to any Person who is not an Affiliate of the applicable pledgor, in each case without any consent rights or first offer rights (or any other rights in this Agreement) on behalf of any other Member. A Pledged Interest may subsequently be transferred by foreclosure, assignment in lieu thereof or other enforcement of such Pledge; provided and upon the condition that (i) the Person (the "Purchaser") who purchases or otherwise acquires the pledged Interest does so subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement as it may have been modified or amended, and (ii) the Purchaser, for its acquisition of a Pledged Interest to be effective, shall comply with the provisions of Sections 9.03 and 9.04. The Members hereby consent to any foreclosure or other transfer of a Pledge permitted under this Article IX, or an assignment in lieu thereof, or other such enforcement of such Pledge, the withdrawal of the applicable Member ("Member Debtor") if its entire Interest was so transferred, and the admission of the Purchaser as a substitute Member, as the case may be, with all of the rights of the Member Debtor hereunder including, without limitation, its rights with respect to management and distributions. No such Pledge, foreclosure or other enforcement shall require the Pledgee or its Affiliate to assume the obligations of a Member Debtor hereunder unless and until such Pledgee or its Affiliate acquires the pledged Interest of such Member Debtor. (b) If the pledgee (the "Pledgee") of a Pledge shall have given the Unaffiliated Members a written notice specifying such Pledgee's name and address, then, whenever the Unaffiliated Members shall thereafter give a notice to such Member Debtor under this Agreement, the Unaffiliated Members shall also give such Pledgee at such address a copy of each notice given by the Unaffiliated Members to the Member Debtor in the same manner and at the - 59 - same time as any such notice is given to the Member Debtor. No such notice by an Unaffiliated Member shall be deemed to have been given to the Member Debtor unless and until a copy thereof shall have been so given to the Pledgee. All Unaffiliated Members will accept performance by any Pledgee of any covenant or obligation on the Member Debtor's part to be performed hereunder, with the same force and effect as though performed by the Member Debtor and the Pledgee shall be entitled to an additional 30 days to cure the applicable default of the Member Debtor hereunder. No Unaffiliated Member shall terminate, or modify in any material respect, this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Pledgee of which such Unaffiliated Member shall have been given notice, except to the extent (if any) expressly required hereunder. All Unaffiliated Members shall consent to the execution by the LLC of such instruments as are reasonably required by a Pledgee in order to ensure the perfection of its security interest in the Member Debtor's Interest. In no event shall any Pledgee be entitled to foreclose a Pledge unless and until each Member shall have been given notice of such foreclosure. (c) A Pledge (and any transfer by foreclosure sale or otherwise in enforcement or settlement of such a Pledge) effected under this Section 9.05 shall not be considered a "Transfer" under this Agreement and shall not be subject to the restrictions regarding Transfers set forth herein (including without limitation, the provisions of Section 9.02 and Article X). ARTICLE X SALE OF PROPERTY; BUY/SELL ARRANGEMENTS 10.01 Sale of Property to Third Parties.

The Buy/Sell Offer Notice shall provide a price (the "Buy/Sell Price") that the Offeror Member would be willing to sell the Property, and the LLC Accountants' calculation (subject to the review of any Unaffiliated Member) of the amount that would be distributed to (x) the Investor Members (the "Investor Interest Amount"), and (y) the Reckson Members (the "Reckson Interest Amount"), if the Property were sold for cash in an amount equal to the Buy-Sell Price and the purchaser assumed all Secured Liabilities.

The Buy/Sell Offer Notice and the Buy/Sell Response Notice (or deemed response) shall constitute a binding agreement of purchase and sale between the Offeree Member and the Offeror Member in accordance with the terms hereof.

During the 12-month period following the scheduled Buy/Sell Closing Date the defaulting Member shall not be permitted to invoke any of the procedures set forth in this Section 10.02 or in Sections 10.01 or 9.02 and the non-defaulting Member shall have the right to (x) sell its Interest without complying with the provisions of this Section 10.02 or the right of First Offer set forth in Section 9.02 and (y) exercise the Unilateral Sale Right (in accordance with the terms of Section 9.02(e)). If the Purchasing Buy/Sell Member is the defaulting Member, the Selling Buy/Sell Member shall have the right to retain the Buy/Sell Deposit as liquidated damages, together with any and all interest earned thereon. If the Selling Buy/Sell Member is the defaulting party then, at the option of the Purchasing Buy/Sell Member, the Purchasing Buy/Sell Member may either (I) demand and receive from the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent the Buy/Sell Deposit (together with all interest thereon) to the Purchasing Buy/Sell Member or (II) seek specific performance.

The Tax Returns of neither Property Owner nor the LLC have been audited or contested (not to the knowledge of the Reckson Knowledge Individuals has there been any threat of an audit or contest) by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority, and no waivers or extensions with respect to any applicable statute of limitations relating to such returns have been granted. True and complete copies of all federal income Tax Returns for the Property Owner and the LLC, if any, have been delivered to Investor and they have not been amended in any material respect except as delivered to Investor.

No Applicable Entity has received any notice indicating that the Title Insurance Policy is not in full force and effect. To Reckson Members' knowledge, the Title Insurance Policy is in full force and effect. Since the date of the Title Insurance Policy, no Applicable Entity has created any lien or encumbrance against the Property and, to Reckson Members' knowledge, no Applicable Entity has received notice of any lien or encumbrance being filed against the Property other than matters that are the responsibility of Citibank to discharge. Any and all uses of the phrase, "to the Reckson Members' knowledge" or other references to the Reckson Members' knowledge in this Agreement shall mean the actual, present knowledge of Jason Barnett, Richard Conniff, Philip M. Waterman III and Matthew Duthie (the "Reckson Knowledge Individuals"). Investor acknowledges that the Reckson Knowledge Individuals have not performed and are not obligated to perfotiii any investigation or review of any files or other information in the possession of the Reckson Members, or to make any inquiry of any persons, or to take any other actions in connection with the representations and warranties of the Reckson Members set forth in this Agreement.

Closing Date"), except that the representations - 74 - set forth in clauses (a)(viii), (ix), (xi), (xiv), (xv) and (xvi), above shall survive for the applicable statute of limitations. Each such representation and warranty (other than those set forth in clauses (a)(viii), (ix), (xi), (xiv), (xv) and (xvi), shall automatically be null and void and of no further force or effect on the Rep. Closing Date unless, prior to the Rep. Closing Date, Investor shall have commenced a legal proceeding (a "Proceeding") against the Reckson Members alleging that the Reckson Members shall be in breach of such representation or warranty and that Investor shall have suffered actual damages as a result thereof in the aggregate in excess of $375,000 (the "Rep. Basket"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein Investor shall not have a claim for any breach of a representation or warranty if Investor had actual knowledge of such breach on or before the date hereof. If Investor shall have timely commenced a Proceeding and a court of competent jurisdiction shall, pursuant to a final, non-appealable order in connection with such Proceeding, determine that (i) the Reckson Members were in breach of any applicable representation or warranty as of the date of this Agreement, (ii) Investor suffered actual damages (the "Damages"), direct or indirect (by virtue of its direct or indirect interest in the Applicable Entities or otherwise), by reason of such breach in an amount exceeding the Rep. Basket and (iii) Investor did not have actual knowledge of such breach on or prior to the date hereof, then, subject to the next sentence, Investor shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the Damages minus the Rep. Basket. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Reckson Members' liability for all breaches exceed $7,500,000.00 in the aggregate (other than for breaches of the representations contained in clauses (a)(viii), (ix), (xi), (xiv), (xv) and (xvi) above and paragraph (c) below for which there shall be no such limitation). Any amounts payable to Investor under this Section 13.01(b) shall be paid to Investor within 30 days following the entry of a final, non-appealable order and delivery of a copy thereof to the Reckson Members.

(iii) (A) I&G Fund and/or its direct or indirect owners, (B) SSPF and/or its direct or indirect owner and (C) NAPI and/or its direct or indirect owner, satisfy the requirements of (x) a Permitted Owner, as such term is defined in the GACC Loan Agreement and (y) an Institutional Investor, as such term is defined in the Citibank Lease. (iv) No Investor Entity or Investor is Bankrupt. Any and all uses of the phrase, "to the Investor Members' knowledge" or other references to the Investor Members' knowledge in this Agreement shall mean the actual, present knowledge of Elizabeth T. Propp, Justin M. Murphy, and Stephan Murphy (the "Investor Knowledge Individuals"). Neither the actual, present knowledge of any other individual or - 75 - entity, nor the constructive knowledge of the Investor Knowledge Individuals or of any other individual or entity, shall be imputed to the Investor Knowledge Individuals.

(ii) It has the requisite corporate or limited liability company power and authority to enter into and perform the terms of this Agreement; the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, have been duly authorized and no other corporate, limited liability company or other action on the part of such Member or any of its shareholders or members is necessary in order to permit such Member to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such Member, enforceable in accordance with its terms as the same may be limited, however, by applicable insolvency, bankruptcy or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally or by general principles of law. (iii) Neither the execution, delivery or performance by such Member of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby will conflict with, or will result in a breach of, or will constitute a default under, (A) any agreement or instrument by which such Member may be bound or (B) any legal requirement or any other judgment, statute, rule, law, order, decree, writ or injunction of any court or governmental authority. (iv) Other than as set forth herein, no approval, consent, order or authorization of, or designation, registration or declaration with, any governmental authority or other third party is required in connection with the valid execution and delivery of, and compliance with, this Agreement by the Member and the performance by the Member of the transactions contemplated hereby which has not heretofore been obtained.

(vii) No Interest issued to such Member has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or state securities laws, (ii) such Interest, therefore, cannot be resold unless registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws, or unless an exemption from registration is available, (iii) there is no public market for such Interest, and (iv) neither the LLC nor any other Member has any obligation or intention to register such Interest for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any - 76 - state securities laws or to take any action that would make available any exemption from the registration requirements of such laws. (viii) On behalf of itself and each assignee or transferee of it, such Member is acquiring its Interest for its own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, or with the present intention of distributing or reselling such interest, and that it will not transfer or attempt to transfer its Interest in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other applicable federal, state or local securities law. Nothing herein shall be construed to create or impose on the LLC or any Member an obligation to engage in public reporting or register any transfer of any Interest or any portion thereof with the Securities Exchange Commission. (ix) Such Member is not a "benefit plan investor" (within the meaning of the Plan Assets Regulation). (d) Investor acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither Reckson Member nor any of its Affiliates has made, and no such party is liable for or bound in any manner by, any express or implied warranties, guaranties, promises, statements, inducements, representations or information pertaining to the Property, the Property Owner, the income, expenses, operation or tax benefits of any Applicable Entity, the Property, the status of the Interests or any other matter or thing with respect thereto. ARTICLE XIV MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 14.01 Compliance with LLC Act.

The parties herewith consent to jurisdiction in the federal and state courts located in the county of New York, New York, for the purpose of enforcing the award.

Property Manager, however, shall not take any such action so long as Property Manager (with Owner's consent) or Owner is contesting or either party has affirmed to the other its intention to contest (and promptly institutes proceedings contesting) any such Legal Requirement, except that if failure to comply promptly with any such Legal Requirement would or might expose Property Manager or Owner to criminal liability, Property Manager shall cause the same to be complied with, with or without Owner's approval. Property Manager, promptly following receipt of notice of any significant violation of any Legal Requirement, shall give written notice of same to Owner and shall deliver to Owner copies thereof.

Owner and Property Manager shall each cooperate fully in all reasonable respects (at Owner's expense) with the other in the defense of any claim, action or proceeding relating to the management and/or operation of the Property. -21- (M) Renting the Property. Property Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Operating Standard, the Business Plan and the Leasing Guidelines to lease vacant space at the Property to desirable tenants, and in connection therewith shall consult Owner with respect to rental and renewal of occupancy space to desirable tenants and cooperate with licensed real estate brokers having clients interested in renting space in the Property. The form, content and terms of all Leases and the acceptability of all tenants shall be subject to approval of the Owner and all Leases shall be in Owner's name and executed by Owner unless Owner expressly in writing requests Property Manager, as Owner's property manager, to execute a Lease. Property Manager shall not, without consent of Owner, permit any person to occupy any space in the Property without a written lease approved by Owner. In connection with the leasing of the Property: (i) Enlisting Cooperating Brokers. Property Manager is hereby authorized on behalf of Owner and at Owner's expense to (x) enter into an exclusive agency agreement, the form and substance of which shall be subject to the prior approval of Owner, pursuant to which an independent, unaffiliated third party broker ("Exclusive Broker") will be retained by Property Manager on behalf of Owner to act as Owner's representative and exclusive agent to lease all or a portion of the Property or (y) cooperate with, or permit an Exclusive Broker to cooperate with, third-party real estate brokers representing tenants ("Co-Brokers") and to pay such Exclusive Broker and Co-Brokers a leasing commission as determined by the then current market rates. The parties acknowledge that the current standard commission payable to Property Manager (the "Standard Commission") is set forth on Exhibit F. In the event that Owner or Property Manager shall determine that a change should be made to the Standard Commission due to a change in market rates, such party shall notify the other of such determination (each such notice, a "Commission Change Notice") and the receiving party shall, within 15 days of its receipt of the Commission Change Notice, approve or disapprove of such proposed change to the Standard Commission. If such proposed change is approved, then the Standard Commission shall be changed accordingly with respect to all Leases, amendments, expansions or renewals executed subsequent to such change, except for those which are done in accordance with option terms in a then existing Lease, in which case the Standard Commission in effect at the time of the original execution of such Lease shall apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Standard Commission shall not be changed (a) earlier than the date three (3) years after the date hereof and (b) thereafter, earlier than the third anniversary of the most recent change in the Standard Commission. (ii) Advertising the Property. Property Manager shall advertise the Property or portions thereof, prepare and secure advertising signs, publish and distribute brochures, and advertise in periodicals and other forms of advertising in accordance with the Operating Standard and the Business Plan. (iii) Referrals; Negotiating. Owner shall refer to Property Manager all inquiries for any rental of space or for renewals of Leases; and, except as hereinafter set forth, all negotiations connected therewith shall be conducted solely by or under the direction of Property Manager. Property Manager shall make such investigation of prospective tenants as shall be consistent with the Operating Standard. Owner hereby acknowledges that Property Manager manages and acts as leasing agent for, and Affiliates of Property Manager own (directly or indirectly), other properties in the New York City metropolitan area (each such property, an -22- "Other Reckson Property") which may be competitive with the Property and that the continuation of such management, leasing or ownership shall not serve as the basis of any claim against, or result in any liability to, Property Manager or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, (x) Property Manager shall notify the Investor Report Recipient in the Monthly Report delivered to Owner pursuant to Section lll(D)(iii), if to the actual knowledge of Property Manager any tenant at the Property leases space at an Other Reckson Property and (y) Property Manager shall not unfairly allocate leasing opportunities to Other Reckson Properties (i) which are appropriate for the Property, (ii) if the Property can satisfy all of the prospective tenant's specific leasing requirements and (iii) which (if consummated) would comply with the Business Plan. As used herein, the phrase "actual knowledge of Property Manager" shall mean the actual knowledge of _____________, __________________________________________ and _______________________________, or any other individual who succeeds to their duties at the Property Manager. IV. Compensation. The compensation of Property Manager for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement shall be as follows: (A) Management Fee. Property Manager shall be compensated for its services under this Agreement in an amount equal to 2% of Gross Collections (hereinafter defined) collected by Property Manager in the current calendar month as set forth in the Monthly Report (the "Management Fee"). Property Manager shall include in the Monthly Report the calculation used in determining the Management Fee. The Management Fee for each month shall be accrued as of last day of such month. Property Manager is authorized to pay itself the Management Fee at any time subsequent to the date that the Management Fee is accrued and the Monthly Report has been delivered to Owner. (B) Leasing Commissions. For Property Manager's services under this Agreement, Owner shall pay to Property Manager a leasing commission ("Leasing Commission") in the following manner: (i) Existing Leases. Property Manager shall not be entitled to a Leasing Commission with respect to the current term of any Lease executed by Owner prior to the date hereof (each, an "Existing Lease"), whether or not the terms of such Existing Lease have commenced or the tenants under such Lease have commenced to occupy the space; provided, that, subject to the limitations set forth in subparagraph (v) below, Property Manager shall receive a Leasing Commission in connection with (a) any renewal of any Existing Lease (as further provided in this subparagraph), (b) the expansion of the space presently covered by such Existing Lease (as further provided in this subparagraph), or (c) an amendment of an Existing Lease that results in additional income to Owner. If at any time during the term of this Agreement, the term of a Lease is renewed or extended pursuant to any option(s) or right(s) contained in the Lease, then, in such event, Owner shall pay a Leasing Commission to Property Manager based on the aggregate Base Rent for the renewal or extension terms(s) and computed at the rates set forth in Exhibit F, except that the additional commission(s) shall be calculated at the percentage rate level that would have applied if the renewal or extension period were a part of the initial term of the Lease. If at any time during the term of this Agreement (i) the term of a Lease is renewed or extended not pursuant to any option(s) or right(s) contained in the Lease; or (ii) a tenant leases other or additional space(s) from Owner; then, in such event, Owner shall pay a Leasing Commission to Property Manager based on the aggregate Base Rent for the renewal or -23- extension terms(s) or for such other or additional space(s) and computed at the rates set forth in Exhibit F as if such renewal or extension were a new Lease for the space affected thereby. (ii) Space Occupied by Owner and by Agent. Property Manager shall not be entitled to a Leasing Commission on account of any space in the Property leased to or occupied by Owner, by Property Manager, or by any Affiliate of Owner or Property Manager, where such leased or occupied space is used primarily for the management and operation of the Property. (iii) New Leases and Expansions. In connection with (a) all new Leases (and the renewals of such new Leases or the expansion of the premises demised pursuant to such new Leases during the term of this Agreement) and (b) those instances set forth in paragraph (i) above where Property Manager shall be entitled to a Leasing Commission, Property Manager shall receive the following as a Leasing Commission: (1) if a Co-Broker is entitled to a leasing commission, Property Manager shall be entitled to a Leasing Commission in an amount equal to 50% of the Standard Commission or (2) if no Co-Broker is involved in the transaction, Property Manager shall be entitled to a Leasing Commission equal to 100% of the Standard Commission. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Property Manager shall not be entitled to a Leasing Commission hereunder in respect of any Lease for which an Exclusive Broker was retained, except to the extent that the amount to be paid to the Exclusive Broker in respect of such Lease is less than the amount which would have been paid to Property Manager hereunder if no Exclusive Broker had been involved in which event Property Manager shall be entitled to the differential. (iv) Payment of Leasing Commissions. Leasing Commissions shall be due and payable to Property Manager as follows: (1) with respect to a new Lease, Lease amendment, Lease expansion or Lease renewal (other than to evidence the exercise of a Lease expansion or renewal option, which shall be governed by clause (2) of this sentence), 50% upon the execution and delivery of a final Lease (or Lease amendment) by Owner and tenant and 50% upon the taking of occupancy and the commencement of rent payments and (2) with respect to a Lease expansion option or Lease renewal option, the date such tenant exercises its option; provided, however, that if the tenant defaults prior to paying the first month's rent with respect to the expansion space (in the case of a Lease expansion option) or the first month's rent with respect to the renewal period (in the case of a Lease renewal option), (as the case may be) and the Lease is terminated on account thereof, Property Manager shall refund the Leasing Commission paid with respect to such Lease expansion option or Lease renewal option. If a tenant has an option to terminate its Lease (exclusive of an option contingent on a casualty, condemnation, landlord default or the like), with or without a termination fee, prior to the expiration of the term thereof, then in no event shall Property Manager be entitled to that portion of the Leasing Commission attributable to the part of the term of such lease taking place after the effective date of such possible termination until the later to occur of the dates determined in accordance with the first sentence of this Section IV(B)(iv) and the date that such tenant either waives its right to terminate the Lease or the option to terminate expires. (v) Commission After Termination. Property Manager shall not be entitled to a Leasing Commission respecting (a) a Lease or (b) any renewal or expansion by a tenant, in each case occurring after termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Property Manager shall be entitled to a Leasing Commission for (x) any Leasing -24- Commission accruing through the date of the termination of this Agreement which was not yet payable as of the date of the termination and (y) all Prospective Tenants (as hereinafter defined) with whom Property Manager was in negotiation at the time of the giving or receipt of such notice of termination, further provided that within 15 days following notice of termination of this Agreement, Property Manager shall register with Owner in writing a list of all such Prospective Tenants and setting forth with respect to each such Prospective Tenant, the tenant's name and address, and the space(s) in the Property for which negotiations were then in progress, and further provided that, within a period of 180 days after the effective date of termination, a Lease with such Prospective Tenant was actually entered into. In no event, however, shall a Leasing Commission be payable to Property Manager in connection with a subsequent Lease amendment, Lease expansion or Lease renewal with a Prospective Tenant. As used herein the term "Prospective Tenants" shall mean (i) prospective new tenants who submitted a written offer to lease, or solicited and received from Property Manager a written leasing proposal with respect to, space at the Property and (ii) existing tenants with whom Property Manager was negotiating for renewal of their Leases and/or expansion of their premises. The provisions of this Article (IV) shall survive the termination of this Agreement. V. Bank Account. Owner shall have established or shall establish a bank account (the "Bank Account") into which all funds collected by Property Manager for the benefit of Owner under this Agreement shall, without exception, be deposited promptly by Property Manager. The Bank Account shall be in Owner's name, and Property Manager and Owner shall be authorized to deposit and withdraw moneys from the Bank Account in accordance with this Agreement. Owner and Property Manager shall maintain in the Bank Account the Property Level Reserves to permit the proper and timely performance by Property Manager of its obligations under this Agreement and to maintain the Operating Standard, taking into account anticipated future revenues and expenses. To the extent required by Legal Requirements, Applicable Loans or Leases, Property Manager shall deposit any security deposits received by Property Manager in a separate bank account in the name of, and for the benefit of, Owner to be administered and applied by Property Manager on behalf of Owner in accordance with the above. Property Manager, on behalf of Owner, shall pay all amounts payable under this Agreement from the Bank Account. VI. Hold Harmless (A) Owner agrees to (i) indemnify and hold and save Property Manager free and harmless from any damages or injuries to persons or property by reason of any cause whatsoever either in and about the Property or elsewhere when Property Manager is carrying out the provisions of this Agreement or acting under the express or implied directions of Owner; (ii) reimburse Property Manager upon demand for any monies which Property Manager is required to pay out for any reason whatsoever, either in connection with, or as an expense in defense of, any claim, civil or criminal action, proceeding, charge or prosecution made, instituted or maintained against Property Manager, or Owner and Property Manager jointly or severally, affecting or due to the condition or use of the Property, or acts or omissions of employees of Owner, or arising out of or based upon any law, regulation, discriminatory practices (sexual or harassment), requirement, contract or award relating to the hours of employment, working conditions, wages and/or compensation of employees or former employees of Owner, or otherwise in connection with the ownership, operation, leasing, maintenance or status of the Property or the performance by Property Manager of its duties under this Agreement; and (iii) defend promptly and -25- diligently, at Owner's sole expense, any claim, action or proceeding brought against Property Manager, or Property Manager and Owner jointly or severally, arising out of or connected with any of the foregoing, and to hold harmless and fully indemnify Property Manager from any judgment, loss or settlement on account thereof; provided, however that Owner shall have no obligation under (i)-(iii) hereof with respect to any matter for which it is finally determined that Property Manager is obligated to indemnify Owner under (B) below, although pending such a determination Owner shall advance the cost of defense subject to a right to recoup the same upon final determination that Property Manager is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. (B) Property Manager shall indemnify and hold Owner, its members and their respective stockholders, partners, members, directors and officers harmless from and against any and all expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees), claims, damages, losses, actions, suits, proceedings and liabilities caused or occasioned by or arising out of the acts or omissions of the Property Manager or its officers (but only if such officers are acting in connection with their employment) which constitute a material breach of this Agreement, fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct of Property Manager, or actions which Property Manager did not in good faith believe to be within the scope of the authority conferred upon Property Manager hereunder. VII.

The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York. Either Party may commence arbitration by addressing to the other party a written notice of arbitration. Within 5 days after receipt of the written notice of arbitration, the respondent shall deliver to the claimant a written notice of defense. In the event respondent does not deliver such a written notice, all claims set forth in the demand shall be deemed denied. (B) The arbitration shall be conducted by a sole arbitrator jointly appointed by the parties within 10 days of receipt by the respondent of the written notice of arbitration. If the parties have not jointly appointed an arbitrator by that time, either party may request the CPR to appoint the sole arbitrator, and the CPR shall endeavor to make the appointment within 5 days of that request; provided, however, that its failure to meet that deadline shall in no way impair the effectiveness of the appointment. The CPR shall endeavor to appoint as arbitrator a person with substantial experience in the real estate business, but the appointee's qualifications or lack of qualifications in this respect shall under no circumstances impair the effectiveness of the appointment or provide cause for challenge. The CPR shall have -31- no obligation to follow the procedures set forth in Rule 6, but shall instead appoint a person whom it deems qualified to serve. (C) The arbitrator shall have authority to take all steps necessary and appropriate in order to hold a hearing within 40 days of his or her appointment and to render an award within 5 days thereafter. The arbitrator shall have full discretion to set the procedure or modify the rules governing the arbitration in any way he or she deems necessary in order to meet those deadlines; provided, however, that failure to meet those deadlines shall in no way affect the validity or effectiveness of the award. (D) The arbitration and this clause shall be governed by Title 9 (Arbitration) of the United States Code, the decision of the arbitration shall be final and judgment on the award may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties herewith consent to jurisdiction in the federal and state courts located in the county of New York, New York, for the purpose of enforcing the award. (E) Each party is required to continue to perform its obligations under this Agreement pending final resolution of any dispute arising out of relating to this Agreement, unless to do so would be impossible or impracticable under the circumstances. XVIII. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstances shall be held invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement or the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be effected thereby but shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. XIX. Confidentiality. Property Manager agrees not to disclose the terms of this Agreement without the prior written consent of Owner, except (i) pursuant to a subpoena or order issued by a court, arbitrator or governmental body, agency or official, (ii) pursuant to any freedom of information laws, or (iii) pursuant to any other governmental requirements. To avoid any ambiguity, Property Manager, Investor and Owner recognize and agree that the Reckson Members (as defined in the Operating Agreement) may be required to file a copy of this Agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the event that Property Manager shall receive a request to disclose any of the teii11s of this Agreement under a subpoena or order, Property Manager shall (x) promptly notify Owner in writing, (y) consult with Owner on the advisability of taking steps to resist or narrow such request, and (z) if disclosure is required or deemed advisable, reasonably cooperate with the Owner (at no cost to Property Manager) in any attempt it may make to obtain an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded those terms of this Agreement that are disclosed. XX. GACC Loan.

APPENDIX ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Real Property Title-Holding Company Tax Questionnaire Instructions ------------ Introduction The federal income tax rules governing tax-exempt ------------ title-holding companies are complex. The rules limit the trade or business activities that can be engaged in by a tax-exempt title-holding company. As a result, issues arise as to the proper tax-treatment of a title-holding company that, for example, operates a parking lot or a conference facility in connection with the rental of commercial real property. Services to tenants can cause what would otherwise be nontaxable rents from real property to be treated as trade or business income, as can rentals of personal property together with personal property. Finally, the presence of debt in a title-holding company may raise tax issues both with respect to the title-holding company and the tax-exempt investors in the title holding company. Tax issues also arise at the state level. The attached questionnaire is designed to capture the information necessary to determine what tax issues may exist with respect to the title-holding companies managed by you. Please complete it carefully. To assist you in completing the questionnaire, a brief summary of the federal tax rules that apply to tax-exempt title-holding companies and their investors is provided below. ----------------------- Title-Holding Companies There are two types of tax-exempt title ----------------------- holding companies. Section 501(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code provides tax-exempt status to certain corporations organized for the exclusive purpose of holding title to property and remitting any income from the property to one or more related tax-exempt organizations. Section 501(c)(25) provides tax-exempt status to certain corporations and trusts that are organized for the exclusive purposes of acquiring and holding title to real property, collecting income from such property, and remitting the income to no more than 35 shareholders or beneficiaries that are (1) qualified pension, profit-sharing, or stock bonus plans, (2) governmental pension plans, (3) the United States, a State or political subdivision, or governmental agencies or instrumentalities, or (4) tax-exempt charitable, educational, religious, or other organizations described in section 501(c)(3). A title-holding company is strictly limited as to the amount of unrelated business income (discussed below) it can receive without losing its tax-exempt status. A title-holding company is permitted to receive unrelated business income as a result of the unrelated debt-financed income rules, or as a result of the rules that apply to the rental of personal property together with real property. For tax years beginning after December 31, 1993, a title-holding company can also receive a limited amount of other unrelated business income incidentally derived from the holding of real property. This last rule applies, for example, to income generated from parking or operating vending machines. ----------------------------------- Unrelated Business Income Tax Rules The unrelated business income tax ----------------------------------- (UBIT) applies, under sections 511 through 514 of the Internal Revenue Code, to certain otherwise tax-exempt organizations, including pension trusts, colleges and universities, hospitals, private foundations, title-holding companies, etc. The general scheme of the UBIT is to tax the net income earned by a tax-exempt organization from activities that are "regularly carried on" and that are not "substantially related" to the organization's exempt purpose. In enacting the UBIT, Congress specifically excluded from tax certain types of passive investment income, including rents from real property and certain gains from the sale of property. ------------------------ Rents From Real Property One of the categories of passive investment ------------------------ income normally not subject to UBIT is rents from real property. The exemption does not apply to rents from real property where it is leased together with personal property and the rents attributable to the personal property exceed a stated limit. In other cases, the rents attributable to the real property may be tax-free, while the rents attributable to the personal property are subject to tax. Rents also do not qualify for exclusion from UBIT as "rents from real property" where services are provided to tenants. For this purpose, "services" are considered provided to tenants if they are primarily for the tenant's convenience and are other than those customarily provided in connection with the rental of real estate. Services to tenants could include, for example, maid or concierge service, or security beyond what is necessary to protect the building. The IRS takes the position that the provision of parking is a service to tenants. ------------------------------- Gains From the Sale of Property Gains from the disposition of property ------------------------------- is another category of income normally not subject to UBIT. The exclusion for gains from the disposition of property does not generally apply, however, if the property is inventory or held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of the trade or business. Under this rule, a tax-exempt organization is generally subject to tax, for example, on income earned from land development or homebuilding activities. ---------------------- Debt-Financed Property Under section 514, for most types of tax-exempt ---------------------- organizations, the rules exempting from UBIT rents and gains from the sale of property do not apply to the extent such rents and gains are derived from debt-financed property. In other words, most types of exempt organizations must pay UBIT on the leveraged portion of the net income from real estate. A special exception from the unrelated debt-financed income rules applies to "qualified organizations", including pension trusts, and educational institutions. Under this exception, rents from debt-financed real property owned by qualified organizations are generally not subject to tax. Section 501(c)(25) title-holding companies (but not section 501(c)(2) title-holding companies) are treated as qualified organizations. However, any investor in a section 501(c)(25) title-holding company that is not itself a qualified organization is subject to the unrelated debt-financed income rules on its share of income from debt-financed property.
