There are material risks and conflicts of interest associated with the consolidation. You should carefully review the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Conflicts of Interest” in the prospectus/consent solicitation which has been filed with and declared effective by the SEC. There can be no assurance that participants will realize the benefits described in the videos, including the potential increase in distributions and capital appreciation. In addition, such prospectus/consent solicitation includes a more detailed discussion of the tax consequences of the consolidation.

We also caution you that this letter contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements, including the potential for more consistent distributions than the status quo, with greater potential for increased distributions as a holder of operating partnership units or common stock than as a participant in a subject LLC, and the potential for additional capital appreciation over time, are based on our beliefs and expectations as applicable, which may not be correct. Important factors that could cause such actual results to differ materially from the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements include those set forth in the prospectus/consent solicitation.

While we believe that the terms of the consolidation are fair and in the best interests of participants, there can never be any guaranty that the consideration you will receive from the consolidation represents the fair market value of your interests.

This communication shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.

Each of the three public entities, Empire State Building Associates L.L.C., 60 East 42nd St. Associates L.L.C., and 250 West 57th St. Associates L.L.C. (the “Companies”) and their agents and Malkin Holdings LLC (the “Supervisor”), Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. (the “REIT”), Empire State Realty OP, L.P., and each officer and director of the Companies, the Supervisor or of the REIT may be deemed to be a participant in the solicitation of consents in connection with the proposed consolidation. The names of such persons and a description of their interests in the Companies and the REIT are set forth, respectively, in each Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, the REIT’s Registration Statement on Form S-4, and the prospectus/consent solicitation which have been filed with the SEC.

Investors in the Companies are urged to review the Registration Statement on Form S-4, the prospectus/consent solicitation and other related documents now filed or to be filed with the SEC, because they contain important information. You can obtain them without charge on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Q: Is MacKenzie the proxy solicitor the same group who has launched the recent tender offer?

Q: What am I being asked to approve?

A: Malkin Holdings LLC is asking for your consent to the following three items:

•

Consolidation: a consolidation of your subject LLC with seventeen other properties and one development site and certain related management companies into one company intended to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

•

Third-party sale: a potential sale or transfer of your subject LLC’s interest to a third party as part of a portfolio transaction of the properties and management companies to be contributed to the REIT if the aggregate consideration is at least 115% of the aggregate exchange value and Malkin Holdings LLC determines that the offer price represents an adequate premium above the value that is expected to be realized over time from the consideration; and

•

Reimbursement: voluntary pro rata reimbursement to Malkin Holdings LLC and Peter L. Malkin for the prior advances of all costs, plus interest, incurred in connection with litigations and arbitrations with the former property manager and leasing agent.

Importantly, each of these proposals is subject to a separate consent. You may approve of one, two, all three or none of these proposals.

Q: Will I get taxed on my investment if I vote for the consolidation?

A: Not if you choose OP Units, which are expected to be 100% tax-deferred, meaning you only get taxed on the gain on your investment only at the time of a future capital transaction. You also have the option of deferring 98% of your taxes by choosing a combination of OP Units and Class B shares. These are the same options offered to the investors in the private entities and the Malkin family.

Q: What will happen if we are consolidated?

A: Following the consolidation, if approved, the REIT will be launched as a public company with its Class A common stock and certain of its OP Units expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Q: Will I receive special one-time distributions if there is consolidation/IPO?

A: Yes, you will receive your share of the following special one-time additional distributions, but only if the consolidation/IPO closes:

•

distribution equal to your subject LLC’s existing reserves in excess of working capital.

•

distribution equal to your subject LLC’s share of expenditures relating to the consolidation and IPO, which will be reimbursed to your subject LLC by the REIT out of IPO proceeds.

•

payment to you of your share of the proceeds of the settlement of the class action, subject to approval of the settlement by the court.

•

Investors in the subject LLCs will not pay any portion of the class action settlement.

Q: What will happen to my distributions if the proposed transaction moves forward?

A: We believe you have greater potential for increased distributions as an investor in the REIT than if you stayed with your current interest. We also believe your dividends will be more stable and consistent, because they will be derived from a portfolio of properties rather than just one. In fact, now that the Form S-4 is effective, we have estimated an initial annual distribution per $10,000 original investment for the initial 12 month period of the REIT as a public company following the initial public offering (“IPO”) (which is based on our estimated cash available for distribution for such period). You can compare this estimated distribution to prior years’ distributions. This estimate is based on the calculations and assumptions set forth in the prospectus/ consent solicitation statement, and the REIT cannot assure you that its actual results will be equal or comparable to such estimate.

Q: But what about distributions for investors under the current structure – will my distributions decrease?

A: No, but we believe you have greater potential for increased distributions as an investor in the REIT than if you stayed just with an interest in your subject LLC. In addition, as with the other properties, we believe your REIT distributions will be more stable and consistent, because they will be derived from a portfolio of properties rather than just one.

Q: Why is Malkin Holdings recommending the proposed transaction?

A: Malkin Holdings believes the proposed transaction represents the best opportunity to enhance the value of your investment. Investors in a publicly-traded REIT will benefit from:

•

Tax Deferral: as detailed above, you may exchange your current interest for OP Units, which are expected to be 100% tax-deferred, and pay no tax in connection with the transaction. Tax on the gain of your investment would only be incurred at such time as there is a future capital transaction, such as if and when you decide to sell your shares/units.

•

More Consistent Distributions Paid Quarterly With Greater Potential for Increased Distributions: we believe investors have greater potential for increased distributions following the proposed transaction than as a participant in their subject LLC from improved performance, potential growth from acquisitions and a better capital structure, made possible by the combined balance sheet of all the properties. REITs are also required to distribute at least 90% of their annual REIT taxable income to stockholders, which will result in regular, quarterly dividends.

•

Potential for Liquidity at Time of your Choosing: There is currently no efficient public market where you can sell all or part of your interest. And while there have been some sales over the years, we believe they have been conducted at significant discounts to the true market price. By listing the Class A common stock and OP Units on the NYSE, there will be a true market price available, and investors will be able to see the price of shares or units any time and sell all or part of their interest at a time of their choosing, following an initial lock up period.

•

More Efficient Access to Capital: combining the properties would create a unified balance sheet, providing the REIT with greater and more efficient access to debt and equity capital and borrowings.

•

Diversification: many investors now have an investment in just one property, “all your eggs in one basket”. Through the consolidation, investors will diversify their holdings across a portfolio of properties. Diversification is one of the first principles of sound investing and will allow for less uncertainty due to developments at any one property.

•

Growth Opportunities: a REIT has substantial opportunities to pursue growth opportunities, such as buying properties which are expected to produce additional value, through better access to debt and equity capital.

•

Modern, More Efficient Corporate Governance: Corporate governance and operations will become more efficient and transparent. The proposed REIT’s board of directors will be comprised of six independent directors and one inside director and will be accountable to all investors, including major institutional investors. This eliminates the costly and time-consuming steps under the current structure, which affects the subject LLCs’ ability to take advantage of favorable opportunities.

•

Greater Transparency: as an investor in a public company with securities listed on the NYSE, you will have the ability to see quarterly earnings reports and mandated SEC disclosures of material events. You would also enjoy all the protections afforded all public stockholders through SEC, NYSE, and Dodd-Frank rules and regulations.

•

Simplified Tax Filing: instead of a K-1 for each investment, which is often received too late to make an April 15th filing, Class A or B common stockholders will receive one form 1099 and OP Unit holders will receive one form K-1. The REIT will aim to deliver all these forms by March 31st so investors will not have to file returns on extension.

•

Allows Sale of Helmsley Interest Without Disruption: The Helmsley estate holds a veto in the operating lessee of the ESB and large positions in the operating lessees of One Grand Central Place and 250 West 57th Street. If the estate does not have the ability to liquidate its interest through the consolidation and IPO, we expect it to sell its interests to an unknown third party. This means that if the transaction does not proceed, there is the potential that an unknown third party could make decisions that could result in deadlocks over a range of issues, including decisions which could meaningfully reduce the amount available for distribution.

Q: What happens to my interest if the transaction proceeds?

A: You will have the option to elect to receive Class A common stock in the REIT, OP Units, or a combination of Class B common stock and OP Units.

Q: Which type of securities should I choose?

A: Malkin Holdings LLC cannot advise you on which securities to choose, but you have a range of options from which to pick, depending on your financial objectives.

•

OP Units carry full distribution rights but are without voting rights. However, OP Units are expected to be 100% tax deferred, with tax owed on any gain on your investment only at the time of a future capital transaction.

•

Class B Shares carry full dividend rights and 50 votes for every Class B Share. Because OP Units do not have voting rights, we are offering the option to receive Class B Shares instead of 2% of the OP Units you otherwise would receive. For example, if you were eligible to receive 100 OP Units, you could instead choose 98 OP Units and 2 Class B Shares—thereby receiving the same voting rights as if you chose 100 Class A Shares and deferring 98% of your taxes.

•

Class A Shares carry full voting and distribution rights, but are taxable at the time of the consolidation.

A more thorough description of the securities from which you can choose is contained at pages 94-96 of the prospectus/consent solicitation statement.

Q: Who is Malkin Holdings LLC?

A: Malkin Holdings LLC created your investment, is the supervisor of your LLC, has been the supervisor since its creation, and has over 80 years of experience in real estate investment and supervision on behalf of investors. It provides all asset management services for, and supervises the operations of, your subject LLC.

Q: What happened to Lawrence A. Wien and Wien & Malkin?

A: Malkin Holdings is the same legal entity as Wien & Malkin, having converted to a limited liability company and changed its name to Malkin Holdings in 2009—21 years after the death of Lawrence A. Wien in 1988. It was created by Lawrence A. Wien, and has continued to be controlled and managed by members of the Wien family during that time. Its Chairman, Peter L. Malkin, is Mr. Wien’s son-in-law, and was his partner for three decades and participated in structuring and completing the purchase of the ESB with Mr. Wien and Harry B. Helmsley in 1961. Its President, Anthony E. Malkin, is Mr. Wien’s grandson, Peter L. Malkin’s son, and has been Peter L. Malkin’s partner for more than two decades. Anthony E. Malkin with his management team, under the Chairmanship of Peter L. Malkin, is responsible for the renovation, repositioning and/or acquisition of every property in the proposed consolidation and IPO.

Q: Can’t things just stay the way they are?

A: No. Leona Helmsley’s estate must sell its interest in ESBA’s operating lessee, Empire State Building Company L.L.C. (“ESBC”). This is not an option—it is a requirement under the will of Leona Helmsley. The Helmsley estate’s interest and the Malkin family’s interest hold equal veto rights on decisions made by ESBC. ESBC decisions control property operation and use of cash flow, thus determining the amount of cash available for ESBA distributions. If the consolidation

is not completed, the Helmsley estate will have to find another way to liquidate its real estate holdings. In that case, the Helmsley estate could sell to a person or group which would then have such veto on decisions by ESBC, thereby creating the potential for stalemate and a resulting impairment of ESBA distributions.

Q: Could ESBA purchase the Helmsley estate’s interest?

A: We do not believe this is realistic. ESBA receives a low basic rent and highly variable overage rent from ESBC to cover costs and to service and repay loans. ESBC is not required to operate in such a way as to maximize cash flow or overage rent payments. Based on our experience in financings (more than $2.9 billion in financing since Anthony E. Malkin joined Peter L. Malkin at Malkin Holdings in 1989), including three financings for ESB since 2001, we do not believe that ESBA would be able to borrow the necessary amounts to acquire the Helmsley estate’s interest. In addition, ESBA would require a new consent from ESBA participants for any financing to buy out the Helmsley estate’s interests.

Q: Could the ESB become a REIT on its own?

A: We do not believe that is realistic or desirable. Any ESB-only REIT would require the consent of ESBC which is controlled by the Malkin family and the Helmsley estate, which have consented only to the consolidation and IPO as currently proposed. We have been advised that a single-asset REIT is not typical, and most potential REIT investors (the great majority of which are institutional investors) would not react favorably to such a REIT. One reason is that a stand-alone REIT would bear many of the same ongoing expenses of a REIT owning a portfolio of properties without the benefit of other properties to share them with. We believe these expenses would make it less attractive to investors and diminish value to ESB investors.

Q: Will ESB investors be shortchanged by combining a marquee property such as ESB with other, less iconic properties?

A: No. All of the buildings in the proposed consolidation are financially stable, and their relative results and growth prospects were considered when Duff & Phelps, a national independent valuation expert, calculated how much of the exchange value each building would get in connection with the proposed consolidation. For example, ESB represents 34% of the square footage of the total portfolio but is receiving 56% of the exchange value in the proposed transaction. That disproportionate value reflects Duff & Phelps’s independent assessment of what is a fair allocation of value for ESB, which takes into account ESB’s future growth prospects.

Q: How do I know the valuations are fair?

A: To produce the exchange values and render a fairness opinion, Malkin Holdings chose Duff & Phelps based upon its reputation and independence. Duff & Phelps is an internationally recognized firm with an excellent reputation which is well skilled in providing valuation services for a broad variety of real estate firms. Duff & Phelps began by appraising the value of each of the 18 office and retail properties and the development site to be included in the REIT that would be created as part of the consolidation. Then, Duff & Phelps allocated such property’s value to each of the present entities holding an interest in that property, based in part on information and representations provided by Malkin Holdings LLC. Valuation materials which Duff & Phelps provided to us or used in connection with the valuations have been filed in Appendices A, B and C to the prospectus/consent solicitation statement which you can review, including the financial projections used by Duff & Phelps in its exchange valuation process for all the properties.

Q: What is the status of the ESB turnaround?

A: The program is in progress. The lobby has been restored, the observatory largely has been upgraded, and new leases have been concluded for over 1.5 million square feet of office and retail space. However, to complete the comprehensive program for renovation and repositioning of ESB, additional capital of approximately $185.0 million to $225.0 million, in addition to the additional costs for tenant improvements and leasing commission, will be required through 2016.

Q: What about all these lawsuits that were filed—did the Malkins do something wrong?

A: No. Virtually all large deals get challenged in court. These claims now have been settled by written agreement with no admission of wrongdoing. In fact, after plaintiffs’ counsel reviewed thousands of documents and interviewed many witnesses, the plaintiffs now support the proposed transaction. Investors in the subject LLCs will bear no cost in connection with such settlement and will participate in receiving the settlement proceeds.

Q: What are the override interests?

A: The Malkin group has from the inception of these entities and/or subsequent investor consents been entitled to share in excess cash distributions through overrides. For example, from overage rent distributions since the time the ESBA investment was created, Malkin Holdings has been the recipient of a 6% override from ESBA, which has been paid from distributions, and 93.99% of ESBA investors have voluntarily consented to a capital override, which provides the Malkin group with a 10% override to Malkin

Holdings from capital transaction proceeds in excess of a return of capital, for reasons that included giving Malkin Holdings an incentive to manage the building in a way that would maximize capital proceeds and thereby further align the interests of Malkin Holdings with investors. Overrides from excess distributions are also in effect for investors in 60 East 42nd and 250 West 57th based on the original entity documents and/or subsequent investor consents.

Q: Why do the Malkins get payment on these interests in the proposed transaction?

A. By contract, the Malkins are entitled to distributions on the override interests out of the proceeds from a “capital event”, which includes any transfer of the property of the subject LLCs. The proposed consolidation is a capital event. In the proposed consolidation and IPO, control of the combined enterprise will be transferred from the supervisor, the Malkin Holdings group, and the Helmsley estate to a board comprised of six independent directors out of a seven-member board of directors. For example, many existing investors in the private entities and the other public entities who currently do not own interests in ESB (44% by aggregate exchange value) will own collectively an indirect interest in ESB and the other properties, and the existing investors in ESBA will own 28% of ESB and each of the other properties, after the consolidation and IPO through their new interests in the publicly-traded REIT, representing a significant transfer of ownership in all the properties. Thus, the proposed consolidation represents a transfer to a new entity with substantial additional assets, substantial new investors, and a new governance structure—in no way a continuation of the prior entities or the same investors.

Q: When can I sell OP Units or shares of Class A common stock of the REIT after the consolidation and the IPO?

A: After the closing of the consolidation and the IPO, each participant (except the Malkin Family, whose members are subject to a longer restrictive period in which they cannot sell) will have the ability to sell up to 50% of both the OP Units and Class A or Class B common stock received in the consolidation at any time after the 180th day following the IPO pricing date and the balance of the OP Units and Class A or Class B common stock 12 months after the IPO pricing date. In addition, each participant that receives OP Units may, immediately following the consolidation and the IPO, sell up to approximately 4% of the OP Units issued to him or her (assuming all of the participants in each subject LLC elect to receive OP Units).

Q: When are OP Units exchangeable for shares of common stock?

A: Beginning 12 months after the completion of the IPO, each holder of OP Units will have the right to require the operating partnership to redeem all or a portion of its OP Units for a cash amount equal to the then-current market value of one share of Class A common stock per OP Unit, or, at the REIT’s election, to exchange each such OP Unit for a share of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis.

Q: What is a REIT, and why will the company elect to be a REIT?

A: A REIT is an entity that has elected and qualifies to be taxed as a “real estate investment trust” under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The primary benefit of REIT qualification is that a REIT is generally entitled to a deduction for dividends that it pays and, therefore, is not subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on the net income distributed to its stockholders. To maintain this status, a REIT must distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income each year.

Q: When do you expect the consolidation to be completed?

A: We plan to complete the consolidation as soon as possible after the receipt of the approval by the required vote of your subject LLC’s participants and the approval by the required vote of the other subject LLCs’ participants, conditioned on the closing of the IPO. While we are unable to estimate the closing date of the consolidation, by its terms it is required to be completed no later than December 31, 2014.

Q: If I own participation interests in more than one subject LLC, what should I do?

A: For each subject LLC in which you own a participation interest, in the same mailing in which you received the prospectus/consent solicitation statement you have received a transmittal letter, supplement and consent form which provides for vote with respect to the consolidation proposal and the third-party portfolio proposal. Regardless of how many subject LLCs in which you own a participation interest, you have received a single copy of the prospectus/consent solicitation statement. Participants in each subject LLC will vote separately on whether or not to approve the consolidation. Accordingly, if you hold participation interests in more than one subject LLC, you must complete one consent form for each subject LLC in which you are a participant.

Q: Information in the prospectus/consent solicitation statement is based on a $10,000 original investment. Where can I find information about my actual original investment?

A: Information is presented in the prospectus/consent solicitation statement based on a $10,000 original investment to allow participants to determine the effect on them individually. Information regarding the amount of your actual original investment will be provided on the consent form sent to you.

Q: Is it true that the transaction will cause participants to pay an $85 million tax bill for the Malkins?

A: No. No Payment to the Malkins would be required upon the consolidation, IPO or a sale to a third-party. The tax protection agreement only requires payment where, following the IPO, the REIT’s independent board directors decided to sell (or failed to maintain certain debt with respect to) one or more of four designated assets within a certain time frame. Not only is no such transaction contemplated at this time, but the independent board members will be subject to a fiduciary duty which would require them to determine that the sale was in the best interests of the REIT before any such transaction could occur.

Q: Is MacKenzie the proxy solicitor the same group who has launched the recent tender offer?

A: No. The group making the tender offer consists of entities reportedly affiliated with MacKenzie Capital Management in Moraga, California. Such entities are not related to Malkin Holdings or its proxy solicitor MacKenzie Partners, Inc.

Now that the S-4 is effective, we are hosting conference calls for investors to provide information and answer questions on the proposed transaction. There are nearly 4,000 investors involved in this consent process, and three entities for which a vote is to be taken. To make the calls work, there are scheduled separate calls for each investment entity and the number of attendees on each call will necessarily be limited.

We will schedule as many calls as are required for every interested investor to be able to participate. We have set aside several initial dates and times for these calls. If you wish to participate, please select the entity you are invested in below. This will lead to a calendar which will enable you to choose the time(s) most convenient for you and fill in your contact information with the option to submit a question.

Private Policy

Malkin Holdings LLC Privacy Policy

Malkin Holdings LLC knows your privacy is important to you, and we want you to know it is important to us too. We created this Policy to explain the types of information we collect through EmpireStateRealtyTrust.com (the “Site”) and the ways in which we will use, disclose and protect this information once it is collected. By visiting our Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy as they may be amended from time to time.

Here are a few general principles to keep in mind as you read through this Policy:

•

The Site is owned and operated by Malkin Holdings LLC and contains information about its affiliates and Empire State Realty Trust, Inc., Empire State Realty OP, L.P., Empire State Building Associates L.L.C., 60 East 42nd Street Associates L.L.C. and 250 West 57th Street Associates L.L.C. (referred to collectively in this policy as “we,” “us,” “our” and other similar pronouns).

•

As our business evolves, this Policy may change, so check back to this page periodically to make sure you understand how your personal information will be treated.

•

This Policy is incorporated into, and part of, our Terms of Use, which govern your use of our sites as a whole.

•

This Policy does not apply to information which you may provide to us, or which we may obtain, other than through the Site, such as over the phone, by mail, or in person, or through other web sites maintained by us or our affiliates.

•

If you are located outside the United States, you should know that the information you provide to us is being transmitted to us and processed in the United States and will be protected subject to this privacy policy and United States laws, which may not be as protective as the laws in your country. By using the Site, you agree to this.

What information is collected on this Site?

User-Provided Information

“Personal Information” is information that can be used to identify you as an individual or allow someone to contact you, as well as information associated with such information. We may collect Personal Information such as your name; e-mail addresses; whether you are a current investor; company name; telephone number; and the content of any messages that you send to us. For example, we collect Personal Information when you submit a comment or question to us using the “contact us” feature on the Site.

We use a technology known as “cookies” in order to allow you to remain logged in during your use of the Site. Cookies will not track your use of the Site, and any information that may be obtained via cookies will not be saved or retained in any way on our server. The cookies we use will expire when you close your browser window.

We will not retain any Site usage information that is linked or linkable in any way to a user’s Personal Information or log-in credentials.

By using our Web Site, you consent to our use of the technologies as described above.

How is your information used?

We or one of our service providers may use the information we collect from and about you to perform the following business functions:

•

enabling users to use our Site and its features

•

administering the Site

•

responding to your requests, questions, and concerns

•

developing new features on the Site

•

protecting our rights and property

•

other purposes disclosed when personal information is submitted to us

Do we share Personal Information with others?

Generally, we will not share your information that we collect on the Site with unaffiliated third parties other than sharing with third parties who need your information in order to provide services to or for us.

In addition, we may share your information with third parties (i) when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or property, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud or respond to a government, judicial or other legal request, or to comply with the law and (ii) in connection with a corporate change or dissolution, including for example a merger, acquisition, reorganization, consolidation, bankruptcy, liquidation, sale of assets or wind down of business.

Security

While we endeavor to protect the security and integrity of sensitive Personal Information collected via the Site, due to the inherent nature of the Internet as an open global communications vehicle, we cannot guarantee that any information, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our system or otherwise in our care, will be absolutely safe from intrusion by others, such as hackers.

If you correspond with us by e-mail or using Web forms like a “contact us” feature on our Site, you should be aware that your transmission might not be secure. A third party could view the information you send in transit by such means. We will have no liability for disclosure of your information due to errors or unauthorized acts of third parties during or after transmission.

You are responsible for maintaining the strict confidentiality of any log-in information, and you shall be responsible for any activity engaged in by a person to whom you have provided log-in information, whether or not you authorized such activity. Please notify us of any unauthorized use of log-in information or any other breach of security.

If we believe the security of your Personal Information in our care may have been compromised, we may seek to notify you of that development. If a notification is appropriate, we will endeavor to notify you reasonably promptly under the circumstances. If we have your e-mail address, we may notify you by e-mail. You consent to our use of e-mail as a means of such notification.

“Linked-To” Web Sites

The Site may contain links that lead to other web sites. We are not responsible for these other sites, and so their posted privacy policies (not this Policy) will govern the collection and use of your information on them. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of each web site visited after leaving the Site to learn about how your information is treated by others.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may change this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will let you know by posting the changed Policy on this page with a new “Last Updated” date. In some cases (for example, if we significantly expand our use or sharing of your Personal Information), we may also tell you about changes by additional means, such as by sending an e-mail to the e-mail address we have on file for you. In some cases, we may request your consent to the changes.

If you have any questions or comments regarding our privacy practices, you may contact us at:

* Exchange value has been derived from the appraisal by the Independent Valuer and does not represent the value of the consideration you will receive in the consolidation, which will be based on the enterprise value determined in connection with the pricing of the IPO. The enterprise value (which is based on the IPO price) will be determined by, among other things, market conditions at the time of pricing of the IPO, the historical and future performance of the company and its portfolio of properties and the market’s view of the company’s net asset value and other valuation metrics. Today, some REITs’ common stock trades at a premium to perceived net asset value and others trade at a discount to perceived net asset value. The market’s view of the company’s net asset value determined in connection with the IPO could be less than the exchange values determined based on the Appraisal. The Appraisal was undertaken in connection with establishing relative value for the purpose of allocation of interests in the company among contributors of interests in the properties and not to establish the value of shares of common stock in the company upon completion of the IPO. In contrast, the pricing of REIT initial public offerings generally takes into account different factors not considered in the Appraisal, including current conditions in the securities markets, investor preferences and the market’s view of the company’s management team. Additionally, the Appraisal did not take into account transaction costs for the consolidation and the IPO.

The supervisor believes that initial public offering pricing for REIT common stock generally is at a discount to the market price for common stock of well-established, publicly-traded REITs, and that the company’s IPO pricing will be no different. For this and other reasons, the supervisor expects that the enterprise value at the pricing of the IPO will be lower than the aggregate exchange value at the pricing of the IPO, and such discount at the pricing of the IPO could be material and substantial. This discount cannot be determined until the pricing of the IPO. As the company continues to develop a track record as a public company, the supervisor believes that the company’s trading price following the IPO will be based on, among other things, the company’s historical and future performance, its performance relative to its peers, market conditions generally and its continued seasoning in the public markets. The company currently intends to pay regular quarterly dividends based on the performance of the company and its portfolio of properties, rather than just one property, and those distributions are required to be at least 90% of annual REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid, and excluding net capital gains) to maintain its qualification as a REIT. REIT taxable income will be determined by the performance of the portfolio of the company’s properties and unaffected by its stock price.

The Empire State Building, New York, New York

Empire State Building Associates L.L.C. acquired a master operating leasehold interest in the Empire State Building through a public partnership in 1961 and acquired the fee title to this property in 2002. The supervisor removed the prior managing and leasing agent and gained full control of the day-to-day management of the property in August 2006. The building comprises premier office space, a concourse, lower lobby, two observatories, broadcasting facilities and ground-floor retail space. It occupies the entire blockfront from 33^rd Street to 34^th Street on Fifth Avenue, anchoring the east side of the 34^th street corridor in midtown Manhattan, located within walking distance of multiple parking garages, world-class shopping, dining and lodging. The Empire State Building was built in 1931. The 102-story building comprises 2,696,316 rentable square feet of office space and 169,215 rentable square feet of retail space (including the observatory and broadcasting operations) and is constructed of concrete, steel, masonry and stone. Its close proximity to mass transportation includes numerous subway lines; and bus routes; Pennsylvania Station; Grand Central Terminal; the Port Authority Bus Terminal; and PATH train services. In-building services and amenities include a visitor reception desk, bank equipped with an ATM, FedEx/Kinko’s, Starbucks, upscale cocktail lounge and a variety of specialty stores and eat-in or take-out dining facilities within the retail arcade. As part of the company’s effort to increase the quality of its tenants, since 2007 the company has embarked on a renovation and repositioning program over time to aggregate smaller office spaces to facilitate re-leasing of larger blocks of space to higher credit-quality tenants for longer lease terms and at higher rents. As of September 30, 2012, the building’s five largest tenants based on annualized base rent were LF USA, Inc., an affiliate of Li & Fung, a global supply chain management firm; Coty, Inc., a leading global fragrance and beauty company; the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; Host Services of New York, a leader in creating dining and shopping concessions for travel venues; and Walgreen Eastern Co., a New York City-based pharmacy. Other tenants include Funaro & Co., an accounting services firm; Kaltex North America, Inc., a subsidiary of the Mexican textiles company Grupo Kaltex; LinkedIn, an online professional network; Noven Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a specialty pharmaceutical company; People’s Daily Online USA, an online Chinese newspaper; Taylor Global, Inc., a public relations firm; The Freeh Group, an independent global risk management firm; Turkish Airlines, the national flag carrier of Turkey; and World Monuments Fund, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving and protecting endangered ancient and historic sites around the world.

The Empire State Building offers panoramic views of New York and neighboring states from its world-famous 86^th and 102^nd floor observatories that draw millions of visitors per year. For the years ended December 31, 2007 through December 31, 2011, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the number of visitors to the observatories was approximately 3.67 million, 4.03 million, 3.75 million, 4.03 million, 4.06 million and 3.24 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2007 through December 31, 2011, the company increased the average ticket revenue per admission from $15.47 to $17.96 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the average ticket revenue per admission was $19.61. The 86^th floor observatory has a 360-degree outdoor deck as well as indoor viewing galleries to accommodate guests day and night, all year-round. The 102^nd floor observatory is entirely indoors and offers a 360-degree view of New York City from 1,250 feet above ground. Observatory visitors enter the building via its main entrance on Fifth Avenue. Visitors proceed directly up dedicated escalators to the second floor and through security to purchase various ticket options at the cashier or to retrieve tickets purchased online at the company’s ticket kiosks. While waiting to gain access to the elevators, guests are entertained by a multi-media exhibit on sustainability and energy efficiency, which may be accessed in eight languages and is designed to inform and inspire the visitors. Also on the second floor, guests may purchase multilingual audio tours and viewer maps from the company’s licensee and be photographed by the licensee. There is a separately ticketed and independently owned and operated tour simulator under lease operating under the name NY Skyride. Visitors then proceed to one of six elevators to the 80^th floor, where they are entertained by an exhibit operated by the Skyscraper Museum, “The Race to the Top,” which chronicles the construction of the building. They then have the opportunity to take one of two elevators or to walk up the stairs to the 86^th floor observatory, which offers indoor and outdoor viewing areas. From the 86^th floor, guests who have purchased an additional ticket may take an elevator to the fully

enclosed 102^nd floor observatory. Visitors then return first to the 86^th floor and then to the 80^th floor where they must exit through Empire: The Store, the official Empire State Building souvenir shop operated by the company’s licensee HMS Host. Finally, they take the elevator to the second floor where they have the opportunity to purchase their photograph and ride one of two dedicated escalators to the lobby at the main entrance on Fifth Avenue, where they exit the building; by the end of 2012, they will also have the opportunity to exit through the company’s tenant Walgreens, which will shortly expand its ground floor retail space to the 2^nd floor with direct frontage to the observatory’s exit path. The company generated approximately $68.5 million and $80.6 million in revenue from its observatory operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011, respectively.

The company’s observatory business is subject to tourism trends and weather, and therefore does experience some seasonality. Over the past ten years, the number of visitors to the observatory, on average, has been slightly higher in the third quarter and slightly lower in the first quarter of each year. The Empire State Building’s observatory has maintained stable performance levels over the past ten years, despite changing competitive dynamics and economic conditions. Total revenue and operating income from the observatory’s operations have exhibited positive growth in all but two years from 2001 to 2011 (2001 and 2009), representing a compound annual growth rate for total revenue and operating income (including concessions revenue) of 12.4% and 12.5%, respectively. In addition, the average ticket revenue per admission has increased for each of the 12 years from 2000 to 2011 at a compound annual growth rate of 9.3% and the growth rate during each of those years, on a year over year basis, has never been negative. In the year ended December 31, 2011, the observatory experienced record admissions of over 4.06 million visitors and approximately $80.6 million of total revenue. The observatory has demonstrated strong performance despite competitive pressures as total revenue and operating income (including concessions revenue) increased by over 25.0% in 2005 and over 11.0% in 2006, despite the opening of the Top of the Rock observation deck at Rockefeller Center in November 2005. The Empire State Building’s observatory has also fared well during the recent recession. Despite a 7.0% decrease in the number of visitors as compared to 2008, 2009 admissions were still 2.0% higher than 2007 and the average ticket revenue per admission increased by 6.9% over 2008’s record level.

In addition to being a top New York City tourist attraction, the Empire State Building is also the center of the New York Tri-State region’s broadcasting operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011, the company’s broadcasting licenses and related leased space generated approximately $15.9 million and $20.6 million, respectively. Various entities transmit from the company’s building setbacks and surfaces and the company’s broadcasting mast which rises 230 feet from the ceiling deck of the 103^rd floor. Over 150 antennae provide a variety of point-to-point radio and data communications services and support delivery of broadcasting signals to cable and satellite systems and directly to television and radio receivers. As of September 30, 2012, 35 television and radio broadcasters were licensed to use the company’s broadcasting facilities and served the greater New York metropolitan designated market area, which includes New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. As of September 30, 2012, the company leased approximately 85,812 square feet to broadcasting tenants in the aggregate. Tenants that utilize the company’s broadcasting services receive the right to use the broadcasting facilities and also to lease transmitter space in the Empire State Building. In addition, the broadcasting licenses and related leased space are long-term and require that tenants pay substantially all maintenance expenses. The average remaining term of such license fees is approximately 6.6 years. The company’s broadcasting tenants, based on annualized broadcasting revenue, include, among others, FOX, CBS, ABC, NBC and WPIX, as well as many of the major radio stations in Manhattan and the greater New York metropolitan area.

Empire State Building Company L.L.C. also licenses the trademarked Empire State Building name and image for movies, television, promotional and advertising purposes and offer portions of the building for rent for private events. The primary benefit of such arrangements is the opportunity to build Empire State Building brand awareness through co-branding with well-respected brands and causes. Empire State Building Company L.L.C. also enters into agreements through its Empire State Building Lighting Partner program, which give selected applicants the privilege of choosing a lighting scheme for the tower on a certain date in exchange for publicity and attention through their organization’s networks. The Empire State

LOGO

Building has an extensive social media presence including a highly-visited website (on which Empire State Building Company L.L.C. controls ticket sales to the observatories and offers a growing range of tourist-related attraction sales), Facebook page and Twitter account.

The building and certain aspects of its interior are designated landmarks of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Committee. The building was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1986. In a national survey conducted in 2007, it was rated number one above the White House and the Washington Monument on the List of America’s Favorite Architecture according to the American Institute of Architects. The Empire State Building is an Energy Star building and has been awarded LEED EBOM-Gold certification. The Empire State Building’s energy retrofit program will result in significant energy cost savings annually and significant expense savings for Empire State Building Company L.L.C.’s tenants, which the supervisor believes has enhanced its desirability to prospective tenants. Empire State Building Company L.L.C. recently entered into a two-year contract to purchase wind power to provide 100% of the Empire State Building’s energy. The Empire State Building is the recipient of numerous awards. In 2012, the Empire State Building won the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency: 2011-2012 Green Power Leadership Award and the LEED Interior Design and Construction Gold for the pre-built spaces on floors 53 and 75. The Building Owners and Managers Association of Greater New York, Inc., or BOMA, and BOMA Mid-Atlantic Region named the Empire State Building as the 2011 Regional TOBY award Winner for Middle Atlantic Regional Outstanding Building of the Year and as the 2009-2010 Pinnacle Award winner for the Historical Building of the Year, honoring a “commitment to the preservation of historical integrity while taking full advantage of the improvements of the modern era.”

Additionally, in 2010, the Empire State Building won the MASterworks Best Restoration award from the Municipal Arts Society for the restoration of a historically significant commercial, residential or institutional building and/or publicly accessible lobby; the National Trust for Historic Preservation National Preservation Honor Award recognizing “the efforts of individuals, nonprofit organizations, public agencies and corporations whose skill and determination have given new meaning to their communities through preservation;” the Preservation League of New York State Project’s Excellence in Historic Preservation Award celebrating “the outstanding leadership of public officials and individuals in the field of preservation;” and the New York Landmarks and Conservancy’s Lucy G. Moses Preservation Award for outstanding preservation efforts. Prior to 2010, the Sustainable Buildings Industry Council awarded the Empire State Building the 2009 Beyond Green High Performance Building Award recognizing “the exceptional contributions its members make to sustainability across the United States.”

Since the supervisor gained full control of the day-to-day management of the Empire State Building in August 2006, Empire State Building Associates L.L.C. and Empire State Building Company L.L.C. have invested a total of approximately $157.9 million through the restoration and renovation program at the property through September 30, 2012. The company currently estimates that between $185.0 million and $225.0 million of additional capital is needed to complete this renovation program, which the company expects to complete substantially by the end of 2016. These estimates are based on the supervisor’s current budgets (which do not include tenant improvement and leasing commission costs) and are subject to change. The company’s renovation program at the property has taken substantial time to design and implement due to many factors, including the overall scale of the program, the market timing of re-leasing upgraded spaces to existing and prospective tenants, the company’s desire to minimize existing tenant disruptions, and the need to obtain consents of participants to complete financings. The following table summarizes the status of major improvements the company has completed, those that are currently in process, and those that the company expects to complete in the future:

The observatory and broadcasting businesses at the Empire State Building are subject to competition from existing observatories and broadcasting space and others that may be constructed in the future. In addition, competition from observatory and broadcasting operations in the new property currently under construction at One World Trade Center and, to a lesser extent, from the existing observatory at Rockefeller Center and the existing broadcasting facility at Four Times Square, could have a negative impact on revenues from the company’s broadcasting and observatory operations. The company’s broadcast television and radio licensees face competition from advances in technologies and alternative methods of content delivery in their respective industries, as well as from changes in consumer behavior driven by new technologies and methods of content delivery, which may reduce the demand for over-the-air broadcast licenses in the future. New government regulations affecting broadcasters, including the implementation of the FCC’s National Broadband Plan, or the Plan, might also affect the company’s results of operations by reducing the demand for broadcast licenses.

One Grand Central Place, New York, New York

60 East 42^nd St. Associates L.L.C. made a convertible mortgage on One Grand Central Place in 1954 through a public partnership and subsequently acquired fee title to the property in 1958. The supervisor removed the prior managing and leasing agent and gained full control of the day-to-day management of the property in November 2002. The building comprises premier office space and lower-level and ground-floor retail space. It is located on 42^nd Street, between Park and Madison Avenues, directly across the street from Grand Central Terminal, located within walking distance of multiple parking garages, world-class shopping, dining and lodging. One Grand Central Place was built in 1930. The 55-story building comprises 1,181,327 rentable square feet of office space and 68,005 rentable square feet of retail space and is constructed of concrete, steel and masonry. Its close proximity to mass transportation includes numerous subway lines and bus routes; Grand Central Terminal; and the Times Square Shuttle. In-building services and amenities include on-site building management office; 24/7 attended lobby; a multi-media conference center; messenger center for the exclusive use of building tenants; a visitor center for convenient and efficient access for building visitors; bank, newsstand and dining facilities; and additional conveniences in the building’s retail arcade. As part of the company’s effort to increase the quality of its tenants, the company has embarked on a renovation and repositioning program over time to aggregate smaller office spaces to facilitate re-leasing of larger blocks of space to higher credit-quality tenants for longer lease terms and at higher rents. The company has implemented a program to pre-build modern office suites with efficient layouts which are leased to higher credit-quality tenants for longer lease terms. As of September 30, 2012, the building’s five largest third-party tenants based on annualized base rent were JP Morgan Chase Bank, a global financial services firm; Bank of America, N.A., a global financial services firm; Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., a retail brokerage service provider; Sunbelt Beverage Co., a wine and spirits wholesaler; and Stark Business Solutions, a builder of premium office suites.

One Grand Central Place was the recipient of the BOMA 2010 Pinnacle Award for the Operating Building of the Year, in recognition of “outstanding operations including energy management, emergency preparedness, environmental compliance, community impact, tenant relations, operational standards, training excellence and overall attractiveness,” and in 2007, BOMA named One Grand Central Place as the Pinnacle Award winner for the Historical Building of the Year award, honoring a “commitment to the preservation of historical integrity while taking full advantage of the improvements of the modern era.”

Since the supervisor gained full control of the day-to-day management of One Grand Central Place in November 2002, 60 East 42^nd St. Associates L.L.C. and Lincoln Building Associates L.L.C. have invested approximately $29.7 million through the restoration and renovation program at the property through September 30, 2012. The company expects to complete the renovation program by 2013. The company’s renovation program at the property has taken substantial time to design and implement due to many factors, including the overall scale of the program, the market timing of re-leasing upgraded spaces to existing and prospective tenants, the company’s desire to minimize existing tenant disruptions, and the need to obtain consents of participants to complete financings. The following table summarizes the status of major improvements the company has completed, those that are currently in process, and those that the company expects to complete in the future:

Description of Option Properties

The company’s option properties consist of 112-122 West 34^th Street, an office property in midtown Manhattan that was 86.8% leased as of September 30, 2012 and that encompasses approximately 745,713 rentable square feet (inclusive of the retail space on the ground, first and lower floors), and 1400 Broadway, an office property in midtown Manhattan that was 78.2% leased as of September 30, 2012 (or 82.2% giving effect to leases signed but not yet commenced as of that date) and that encompasses approximately 890,510 rentable square feet (inclusive of the retail space on the ground floor). The company’s management team believes that, if acquired, 112-122 West 34^th Street and 1400 Broadway would be consistent with the company’s portfolio composition and strategic direction. 112-122 West 34^th Street and 1400 Broadway will not be contributed to the company in the consolidation due to the ongoing litigation related to these properties, but the company has entered into agreements granting the company the option to acquire the interests in the option properties following the resolution of the ongoing litigation. The purchase price for each of the option properties will be based on an appraisal by independent third parties, unless the company and the owners of the properties, with the consent of the Helmsley estate, agree to a negotiated price, and unless the litigation related to these properties is resolved prior to the closing of the consolidation, in which case investors in the entities owning the option properties will receive consideration in connection with the consolidation on the same basis as participants in other entities contributing properties in connection with the consolidation. The company has agreed that Anthony E. Malkin, the company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, will not participate in the negotiations and valuation process on the company’s behalf. One or more of the company’s independent directors will lead the appraisal or negotiation process on the company’s behalf and a majority of the company’s independent directors must approve the price and terms of the acquisition of interests in each of the company’s option properties. The purchase price is payable in a combination of cash, shares of the company’s common stock and operating partnership units, but the Helmsley estate will have the right to elect to receive all cash. The Helmsley estate is estimated to receive 28.1% and 23.7% of the aggregate consideration for 112-122 West 34^th Street and 1400 Broadway, respectively. The Malkin Group is estimated to receive 14.6% and 10.3% of the aggregate consideration for 112-122 West 34^th Street and 1400 Broadway, respectively, if all of the options are exercised pursuant to override interests held by it. These estimated percentages are based on valuations of the option properties that were conducted by the independent valuer and are subject to change. The company’s option expires on the later of (i) 12 months after the company receives notice of a settlement or a final, non-appealable judgment in relation to certain ongoing litigation with respect to the properties or (ii) six months after the completion of the independent valuation described above, but in no event later than seven years from the completion of the IPO.

The interests held by private entities supervised by the supervisor in the company’s option properties, 112-122 West 34^th Street and 1400 Broadway, are fee (in the case of a portion of the 112-122 West 34^th Street property), long-term leaseholds (in the case of both of the option properties) and sub-leasehold or sub-subleasehold (in the case of 112-122 West 34^th Street only) in the land and the improvements. Each of the Malkin Holdings group and the Helmsley estate owns interests in such private entities. Based on the exchange values the option properties would have had, calculated in accordance with the methodology used to derive the exchange values for the subject LLCs and the private entities, the Malkin Holdings group would receive consideration having an aggregate value of $77,600,811 in respect of its participation interests and overrides in the entities which own the option properties, and the Helmsley estate would receive consideration having an aggregate value of $160,160,461 in respect of its participation interests in such entities. Pursuant to management agreements with the owner of the long-term leasehold interest (in the case of 1400 Broadway) and the owner of the long-term sub-leasehold interest or sub-subleasehold interest, as applicable, in the case of 112-122 West 34^th Street, the company will be designated as the asset and property manager for the option properties and the company will receive a management fee for services rendered under the agreements.

112-122 West 34^th Street, one of the option properties, is in transition from a garment tenant profile. 112-122 West 34^th Street is the recipient of BOMA 2012 Pinnacle Award for the Renovated Building of the Year.

9. No transfer of a Participation may be made hereunder unless the transferee expressly assumes in writing his pro rata share of the transferor’s liability for additional capital contributions as required hereunder and expressly agrees to subject his Participation to reduction for failure to meet calls as set forth hereunder.

(b) In the event of the legal disability of any individual Participant, his Participation may be transferred to his legal representatives.

(f) Any Participant may assign his Participation to any other Participant.

The transfer or issuance of any interest in any partnership Participant, however accomplished, shall be deemed an assignment of the partnership Participant’s Participation, with the exception, however, of any transfer resulting by reason of death, bankruptcy or legal disability.

11. Any individual Participant may designate any individual of full age, a trust, corporation, firm or other legal entity to succeed him upon his death as a member of the joint venture.

contribution which the Defaulting Participant was obligated to make. If any amount shall remain uncommitted by the Contributing Participants, then they shall have the right to admit new Participants to provide any portion of the uncommitted capital contribution. Upon such contribution, the Participation of the Defaulting Participant shall be reduced to a fraction equal to one-half of the fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the total of (i) his initial capital contribution and (ii) the amount of any additional capital contributions made him; and the denominator of which is equal to the total of (i) the aggregate capital contributions theretofore made by all participants and (ii) the aggregate additional capital contributions then being made by the Contributing Participants and the new Participants.

Because the Defaulting Participant has failed to contribute his share of the call, the other Participants will have been put at hazard with respect to their entire investment and will be obliged to seek funds to make up the default of the Defaulting Participant. The damage which the Contributing Participants will suffer, at times and under circumstances now impossible to foresee, and the extent of the hazard to their entire investment are impossible to predict. For these reasons, and in view of the fact that this is a mutually binding agreement covering all Participants, each of whom may suffer or benefit from any such default, it is agreed that the Participation of the Defaulting Participant shall be reduced as set forth in this paragraph.

To the extent that the Participation of the Defaulting Participant is reduced as aforesaid, the Participations of the Contributing Participants will be increased in proportion to their additional contributions and appropriate Participations assigned to said new Participants.

Each Defaulting Participant is hereby deemed to have irrevocably authorized and empowered the Agent to execute and deliver on behalf of the Defaulting Participant, as his agent and attorney-in-fact, any documents necessary to effectuate or evidence the aforesaid reduction of Participation and the increase of Participation of the Contributing Participants and the assignment of Participations to new Participants.

13. It is acknowledged that the Agent has the legal power as a partner in the partnership to dissolve the partnership. Upon any dissolution of the partnership, this joint venture shall be dissolved and any cash or other property receive in liquidation of the partnership by the Agent by reason of his holding the Economic Interest shall be forthwith distributed by him in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 4(b).

It is acknowledged that each of the Participants has the power to terminate the agency hereunder and withdraw from this joint venture, but the Participants do hereby agree that they shall not exercise such power without the prior unanimous written consent of all Participants. If any Participant exercises such power in contravention of the foregoing sentence, he shall be personally liable for any damage sustained by the other parties in accordance with Section 69 of the Partnership Law of the State of New York (as presently in force). Upon the termination of the agency and withdrawal of such Participant, the other Participants agree to enter into a new Participating Agreement containing terms identical to those herein, except for the Participant who exercised the power to terminate and withdraw. The withdrawing Participant shall be entitled , to a direct assignment from the Agent of his fractional interest in the Economic Interest, subject however, to Lawrence A. Wien’s right to 25% of the amounts distributable in accordance with subdivisions 4(a)(iii) and 4(b)(ii), to the Participant’s obligation for his share of any call for additional capital contributions under paragraph 12, to the reduction specified in paragraph 12 in the event of failure to make capital contributions and to the provisions of paragraphs 3, 15 and 16.

14. (a) If the Agent shall desire at any time to terminate his agency, upon accounting to his successor named below for all funds which shall previously have come into his possession, he shall be discharged from all further responsibility as Agent hereunder.

(b) In the event of a vacancy in the office of the Agent, whether by resignation, disqualification, death or any other cause, the following persons in the order stated shall succeed him as Agent hereunder:

1. Peter L. Malkin, residing at

2. Alvin S. Lane, residing at ;

Each successor shall also succeed to 10% of the Management Rights and shall hold the same for his own account and shall have the same rights and obligations with respect thereto as Lawrence A. Wien. A person shall be disqualified from acting as Agent hereunder in the event that (i) he ceases to be a member of the firm of Wien, Lane & Malkin or its successors or (ii) he does not promptly acquire or he ceases to hold at least a 1/100th Participation hereunder or an economic interest at least equivalent to that amount.

(d) Simultaneously with the execution of this agreement, the Agent shall execute an assignment of the Economic Interest and an assignment of 10% of the Management Rights, leaving blank the name of the assignee. Such assignments shall be deposited in escrow, together with a duplicate original copy of this agreement, with Wien, Lane & Malkin or its successors. Upon the qualification of a successor, his name shall be inserted in the assignments and the escrow shall be released. The successor shall simultaneously execute and deliver assignments for the use of his successor in the same manner.

(e) Lawrence A. Wien’s rights to the amounts distributable to him under subdivisions 4(a)(iii) and 4 (b)(ii) are personal to him and separate and apart from his capacity as Agent hereunder. Said rights to said amounts shall be freely transferable by him at any time in whole or in part. As to 10% of the Management Rights, same shall be transferred only in accordance with subdivision (b) of this paragraph and the balance of his Management Rights are personal to him and shall be freely transferable by him at any time in whole or in part.

17. This agreement shall for all purposes, including, but not limited to, dissolution of this joint venture, be governed by the Partnership Law of the State of New York to the same extent as if this joint venture were a general partnership.

18. This agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of such counterparts shall together constitute a single agreement.

19. This agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have hereunto set their hands as of the day and year first above written.

If any capital contribution is required to be made by the partners under the Partnership Agreement, each Participant shall be obligated to contribute to the partnership his proportionate share of the amount of the contribution required to be made by the Agent by reason of his holding the Economic Interest. The request for a capital contribution shall be made by the Agent by a notice in writing to the Participants, and each Participant shall, no later than ten days after the mailing of the notice, contribute his proportionate share. Each Participant agrees to pay his share of any call for additional capital contributions. If any Participant (Defaulting Participant) shall fail to pay his share of any such call within ten days after the mailing of a notice in writing by the Agent to the Participant, then the other Participants (Contributing Participants) shall be privileged but not obligated to commit all or a portion of the capital contribution which the Defaulting Participant was obligated to make. If any amount shall remain uncommitted by the Contributing Participants, then they shall have the right to admit new Participants to provide any portion of the uncommitted capital contribution. Upon such contribution, the Participation of the Defaulting Participant shall be reduced to a fraction equal to one-half of the fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the total of (i) his initial capital contribution and (ii) the amount of any additional capital contributions made him; and the denominator of which is equal to the total of (i) the aggregate capital contributions theretofore made by all Participants and (ii) the aggregate additional capital contributions then being made by the Contributing Participants and the new Participants.

13. It is acknowledged that the Agent has the legal power as a partner in the partnership to dissolve the partnership. Upon any dissolution of the partnership, this joint venture shall be dissolved and any cash or other property received in liquidation of the partnership by the Agent by reason of his holding the Economic Interest shall be forthwith distributed by him in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 4(b).

the agency and withdrawal of such Participant, the other Participants agree to enter into a new Participating Agreement containing terms identical to those herein, except for the Participant who exercised the power to terminate and withdraw. The withdrawing Participant shall be entitled to a direct assignment from the Agent of his fractional interest in the Economic Interest, subject however, to Lawrence A. Wien’s right to 25% of the amounts distributable in accordance with subdivisions 4(a)(iii) and 4(b)(ii), to the Participant’s obligation for his share of any call for additional capital contributions under paragraph 12, to the reduction specified in paragraph 12 in the event of failure to make capital contributions and to the provisions of paragraphs 8, 15 and 16.

It is understood that the said direct assignment to the withdrawing Participant shall be only an assignment of a profits interest as described in Section 53 of the Partnership Law of the State of New York (as presently in force), in that it shall merely entitle the withdrawing Participant to receive in accordance with his contract the profits to which the assignor would otherwise be entitled and the withdrawing Participant shall not be entitled to interfere in the management or administration of the partnership business or affairs nor to require any information or account of partnership transactions nor to inspect the partnership books; and in case of a dissolution of the partnership, the withdrawing Participant shall be entitled to receive his share of the assignor’s profits interest as aforesaid and may require an account from the date only of the last account agreed to by all the partners.

WHEREAS, Malkin holds a 1/5th Participation in said Economic Interest, which Malkin hereby acknowledges that he holds for the benefit of the Sub-Participants hereunder; and

WHEREAS, the subject matter of the within agreement is limited solely to said 1/5th of said Economic Interest (which 1/5th is hereinafter called the “Investment”) and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to establish the ownership of the Sub-Participation and to define their rights and obligations with respect thereto;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. A joint venture is hereby formed for the ownership of the Sub-Participation. The office of the joint venture and its hooks and records shall be maintained at the office of Wien, Lane & Malkin, or its successors, 60 East 42nd Street, New York, New York.

2. The initial capital contribution of each Sub-Participant is set forth below opposite his signature. The fractional interest (hereinafter called “Sub-Participation”) of each Sub-Participant in the Investment is set forth below opposite his signature.

3. Each Sub-Participant, in proportion to his Sub-Participation, shall be liable for all losses of the partnership allocable to the Investment.

4. (a) With respect to cash flow from operations distributed to Malkin pursuant to the Participating Agreement each Sub-Participant shall be entitled to his share of the 14% per annum cumulative amount on his average unrecovered capital contribution, as defined and determined by the provisions of paragraph 4 of the Participating Agreement, and to the balance in proportion to his Sub-Participation.

(b) With respect to net capital proceeds and distributions in liquidation distributed to Malkin pursuant to the Participating Agreement, each Sub-Participant shall be entitled to his share of repayment of unrecovered capital contributions, as defined and determined by paragraph 4 of the Participating Agreement, and to the balance of such proceeds in proportion to his Sub-Participation.

5. With respect to the partnership’s income, loss, credits, and other items for any year for tax purposes allocable to Malkin under the Participating Agreement, same shall be allocated to and reported by each Sub-Participant in proportion to his Sub-Participation.

6. The joint venture shall continue until the Investment shall have been disposed of, and shall not be affected by the act, bankruptcy, death, legal disability or dissolution of any Sub-Participant, the assignment (whether by operation of law or otherwise) of any Sub-Participation, the appointment of a successor to Malkin, or any other cause, except as provided in paragraph 13.

7. Malkin shall not be personally liable for any act performed in good faith. The Sub-Participants hereby indemnify and agree to save harmless Malkin, in proportion to their Sub-Participations, against any loss or liability to which Malkin may be subjected by reason of his holding the Investment as their agent. Such indemnity shall not apply, however, to any loss or liability resulting from obligations incurred by Malkin acting at any time in bad faith.

8. The Sub-Participants shall have no right to interfere or participate in the management or administration of the partnership business or affairs. The Sub-Participants’ only interest is in the Investment. Lawrence A. Wien holds the Management Rights for his own account.

The Sub-Participants shall be bound by all decisions made and actions taken (including, but without limitation, sale, modification or mortgaging of the Operating Sublease) under the Partnership Agreement by the holders of the Management Rights. The Sub-Participants hereby expressly authorize and empower Malkin to execute and deliver on their behalf as their agent and attorney-in-fact any instruments relating to the Investment in connection with any of such decisions and actions.

9. No transfer of a Sub-Participation may be made hereunder unless the transferee expressly assumes in writing his pro rata share of the transferor’s liability for additional capital contributions as required hereunder and by the Participating Agreement and expressly agrees to subject his Sub-Participation to reduction for failure to meet calls as set forth hereunder and under the Participating Agreement.

10. The transfer of a Sub-Participation shall not be valid unless (a) the transfer complies with all provisions of this agreement, (b) the transferee is an individual of full age or a trust, corporation, firm or other legal entity, (c) duplicate originals of appropriate written instruments evidencing such sale or transfer are delivered to Malkin for deposit with the original copy of this agreement, (d) the transferee shall accept the transfer and agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this agreement and all the actions theretofore taken hereunder and (e) such other instruments are delivered to Malkin as he may require to evidence the authority of the transferor to deliver and of the transferee to accept the transfer. Upon compliance with these requirements and subject to the following conditions, the transferee shall be a member of the joint venture with the same rights and obligations as the transferor. Any purported transfer which fails to comply with the terms of this paragraph 10 shall be deemed null and void.

No transfer of a Sub-Participation shall be made without the prior written consent of Malkin, excepting however, that the following transactions are permitted without such consent:

(a) Any designation made pursuant to paragraph 11.

(b) In the event of the legal disability of any individual Sub-Participant, his Sub-Participation may be transferred to his legal representatives.

(d) Any individual Sub-Participant may transfer his Sub-Participation to a corporation of which he is the sole stockholder or to a trust in which he or a member of his family is the sole beneficiary.

(e) Any corporate Sub-Participant having a sole individual stockholder may transfer its Sub-Participation to such stockholder.

(f) Any Sub-Participant may assign his Sub-Participation to any other Sub-Participant.

The term “transfer” as used herein shall include any assignment, pledge or other disposition or hypothecation, whether in whole or in part. The term “family” as used herein shall include only (i) the Sub-Participant’s parents, grandparents, siblings and issue, and spouses and issue of any of the foregoing and (ii) the Sub-Participant’s spouse and parents of said spouse.

The transfer or issuance of any stock of any corporate Sub-Participant, however accomplished, shall be deemed an assignment of the corporate Sub-Participant’s Sub-Participation, with the exception, however, of any transfer resulting by reason of death, bankruptcy or legal disability.

The transfer or issuance of any interest in any partnership Sub-Participant, however accomplished, shall be deemed an assignment of the partnership Sub-Participant’s Sub-Participation, with the exception, however, of any transfer resulting by reason of death, bankruptcy or legal disability.

11. Any individual Sub-Participant may designate any individual of full age, a trust, corporation, firm or other legal entity to succeed him upon his death as a member of the joint venture. Such designation shall be made by an appropriate instrument in writing. If no such-designation has been made by the deceased party, the executor of his will or administrator of his estate may make such designation. Any such designee shall accept such designation in writing, including the assumptions and agreements required by paragraphs 9 and 10(d), and shall thereupon be a member of the joint venture with the same rights and obligations as formerly possessed by the deceased Sub-Participant.

12. If any additional capital contribution is required to be made by Malkin under the Participation Agreement by reason of his holding the Investment, each Sub-Participant shall be obligated to contribute his share thereof in proportion to his Sub-Participation. The request for an additional capital contribution shall be made by Malkin by a notice in writing to the Sub-Participants, and each Sub-Participant shall, no later than ten days after the mailing of the notice, contribute his proportionate share. Each Sub-Participant agrees to pay his share of any call for additional capital contributions. If any Sub-Participant (Defaulting Sub-Participant) shall fail to pay his share of any such call within ten days after the mailing of a notice in writing by Malkin to the Sub-Participant, then the other Sub-Participants (Contributing Sub-Participants) shall be privileged but not obligated to commit all or a portion of the capital contribution which the Defaulting Sub-Participant was obligated to make. If any amount shall remain uncommitted by the Contributing Sub-Participants, then they shall have the right to admit new sub-Participants to provide any portion of the uncommitted capital contribution. Upon such contribution, the Sub-Participation of the Defaulting Sub-Participant shall be reduced to a fraction equal to one-half of the fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the total of (i) his initial capital contribution and (ii) the amount of any additional capital contributions made him; and the denominator of which is equal to the total of (i) the aggregate capital contributions theretofore made by all Sub-Participants and (ii) the aggregate additional capital contributions then being made by the Contributing Sub-Participants and the new Sub-Participants.

Because the Defaulting Sub-Participant has failed to contribute his share of the call, the other Sub-Participants will have been put at hazard with respect to their entire investment and will be obliged to seek funds to make up the default of the Defaulting Sub-Participant. The damage which the Contributing Sub-Participants will suffer, at times and under circumstances

now impossible to foresee, and the extent of the hazard to their entire investment are impossible to predict. For these reasons, and in view of the fact that this is a mutually binding agreement covering all Sub-Participants, each of whom may suffer or benefit from any such default, it is agreed that the Sub-Participation of the Defaulting Sub-Participant shall be reduced as set forth in this paragraph.

To the extent that the Sub-Participation of the Defaulting Sub-Participant is reduced as aforesaid, the Sub-Participations of the Contributing Sub-Participants will be increased in proportion to their additional contributions and appropriate Sub-Participations assigned to said new Sub-Participants.

Each Defaulting Sub-Participant is hereby deemed to have irrevocably authorized and empowered Malkin to execute and deliver on behalf of the Defaulting Sub-Participant, as his agent and attorney-in-fact, any documents necessary to effectuate or evidence the aforesaid reduction of Sub-Participation and the increase of Sub-Participation of the Contributing Sub-Participants and the assignment of Sub-Participations to new Sub-Participants.

13. The Agent under the Participating Agreement has the legal power as a partner in the partnership to dissolve the partnership. Upon any dissolution of the partnership, this joint venture shall be dissolved and any cash or other property received in liquidation of the partnership by Malkin by reason of his holding the Investment shall be forthwith distributed by him in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 4(b) above.

Each of the Sub-Participants has the power to terminate the agency hereunder and withdraw from this joint venture, but the Sub-Participants do hereby agree that they shall not exercise such power without the prior unanimous written consent of all Sub-Participants. If any Sub-Participant exercises such power in contravention of the foregoing sentence, he shall be personally liable for any damage sustained by the other parties in accordance with Section 69 of the Partnership Law of the State of New York (as presently in force). Upon the termination of the agency and withdrawal of such Sub-Participant, the other Sub-Participants agree to enter into a new Sub-Participating agreement containing terms identical to those herein, except for the Sub-Participant who exercised the power to terminate and withdraw. The withdrawing Sub-Participant shall be entitled to a direct assignment from Malkin of his fractional interest in the Investment, subject however, to Lawrence A. Wien’s right to the amounts distributable in

accordance with subdivisions 4(a)(iii) and 4(b)(ii) of the Participating Agreement, to the Sub-Participant’s obligation for his share of any call for additional capital contributions under paragraph 12 above, to the reduction specified in paragraph 12 above in the event of failure to make capital contributions and to the provisions of paragraphs 8, 15 and 16.

It is understood that the said direct assignment to the withdrawing Sub-Participant shall be only an assignment of a profits interest as described in section 53 of the Partnership Law of the State of New York (as presently in force), in that it shall merely entitle the withdrawing Sub-Participant to receive in accordance with his contract the profits to which the assignor would otherwise be entitled and the withdrawing Sub-Participant shall not be entitled to interfere in the management or administration of the partnership business or affairs nor to require any information or account of partnership transactions nor to inspect the partnership books; and in case of a dissolution of the partnership, the withdrawing Sub-Participant shall be entitled to receive his share of the assignor’s profits interest as aforesaid and may require an account from the date only of the last account agreed to by all the partners.

14. (a) If Malkin shall desire at any time to terminate his agency, upon accounting to his successor named below for all funds which shall previously have come into his possession, he shall be discharged from all further responsibility as agent hereunder.

(b) In the event of a vacancy in the office of the agent, whether by resignation, disqualification, death or any other cause, the following persons in the order stated shall succeed him as agent hereunder.

1. Alvin S. Lane, residing at ;

2. Alvin Silverman, residing at

11. Martin B. Cowan, residing at

12. John L. Loehr, residing at and

13. Any person of full age designated in writing by Sub-Participants owning at least 80% in interest.

A person shall be disqualified from acting as agent hereunder in the event that (i) he ceases to be a member of the firm of Wien, Lane & Malkin or its successors or (ii) he does not promptly acquire or he ceases to hold at least a 1/20th Sub-Participation hereunder or an ecomonic interest at least equivalent to that amount.

(c) Malkin does hereby agree that when he ceases to be the agent hereunder, whether by reason of his death or any other cause, he shall sell (or if he is deceased his personal representative shall sell) to his successor agent a 1/20th Sub-Participation hereunder or an equivalent economic interest (if such successor does not already own such an interest), at a price equal to ten times the cash flow from operations for the preceding calendar year multiplied by 1/20th of 1%, but in no event shall the price be less than $100. Each person who becomes a successor agent hereunder, by accepting such agency, shall be deemed to have agreed that he and his personal representatives are similarly bound, when he ceases to be the agent, to sell said 1/20th Sub-Participation or equivalent economic interest to his successor agent (if such successor does not already own such an interest), at a price equal to ten times the cash flow from operations for the preceding calendar year multiplied by 1/20th of 1%, but in no event shall the price be less than $100.

(d) Simultaneously with the execution of this agreement, Malkin shall execute an assignment of the Investment, leaving blank the name of the assignee. Such assignments shall be deposited in escrow, together with a duplicate original copy of this agreement, with Wien, Lane & Malkin or its successors. Upon the qualification of a successor, his name shall be inserted in the assignment and the escrow shall be released. The successor shall simultaneously execute and deliver an assignment for the use of his successor in the same manner.

15. This agreement and the rights of the Sub-Participants herein shall at all times be subject to the terms and conditions of the Partnership agreement and the Participating Agreement, copies of which have been received and examined by the Sub-Participants. Any transferee of any Sub-Participation, or part thereof, shall take and hold same subject to the terms and provisions of this agreement and the aforesaid agreements.

16. Any dispute arising out of or regarding this agreement or the Investment, shall be determined by arbitration in the City of New York in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect and such decision shall be binding on all of the parties.

18. This agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of such counterparts shall together constitute a single agreement.

19. This agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

(c) Wien shall be allocated any deduction allowable to the Partnership on account of amounts paid (or deemed paid) to Wien, Lane & Malkin, including any additional depreciation or any deduction allowable under section 83(h) of the Internal Revenue Code; and

(d) Any increase or decrease in depreciation or amortization or in any gain or loss attributable to the adjustment to basis under Section 743 of the Internal Revenue Code as a result of their purchase of interests in the Property shall be allocated to the Partners in proportion to their respective interests. If further adjustments under Section 743 occur as a result of subsequent transactions or events, the increase or decrease in depreciation or amortization attributable to such adjustments, shall be allocated to the persons who hold or have acquired the Partnership Interest generating the adjustment.

(e) Notwithstanding (a) through (c), above, depreciation, gain or loss with respect to property contributed to the Partnership by a Member shall be allocated among the Members so as to take account of the variation between the basis of the property to the Partnership and its fair market value at the time of contribution, in accordance with Section 704(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury Department Regulations thereunder.

(f) the remainder of the Partnership income, gains, losses, credits and other items shall be allocated to each Member in proportion to his Partnership Interest.

6. The Partnership shall continue until Company is liquidated or the Property shall otherwise have been disposed of, and shall not be affected by the act, bankruptcy, death, legal disability or dissolution of any Member, the assignment (whether by operation of law or otherwise), of any Partnership Interest, or any other cause, except as provided in paragraph 13.

7. It is agreed that the Property may, at the discretion of the Managing Partner, be held in the name of the Managing Partner, as agent for the Partnership. The Managing Partner shall not be personally liable for any act performed as agent in good faith. The Partnership and the Members hereby agree to indemnify and save harmless the Managing Partner, in proportion to their Partnership Interests, against any loss or liability to which he may be subjected by reason of his holding the Property as agent. Such indemnity shall not apply, however, to any loss or liability resulting from obligations incurred by the Managing Partner acting at any time in bad faith.

8. Except as provided in paragraph 14, below, Wien shall be the Managing Partner of the Partnership and, in such capacity, shall have the exclusive right to manage and operate the Partnership, and to make all decisions on its behalf, including the exclusive right to exercise the Partnership’s voting and management rights in Company; the other Members shall have no right to interfere or participate in the management or administration of the business or affairs of either Company or of the Partnership, and shall be bound by all decisions made and actions taken (including, but without limitation, sale, modification or mortgaging of the Operating Sublease of Associates) by the Managing Partner and by Associates. The Members hereby expressly authorize and empower the Managing Partner to execute and deliver on their behalf and as their agent and attorney-in-fact any instruments relating to the Property in connection with any of such decisions and actions.

9. No transfer of a Partnership Interest may be made hereunder unless the transferee expressly assumes in writing his pro rata share of the transferor’s liability for additional capital contributions as required hereunder and expressly agrees to subject his Partnership Interest to reduction for failure to meet calls as set forth hereunder, and the requirements of paragraph 10 and 11 are met.

10. Each Member agrees that he shall not transfer a Partnership Interest unless (a) the transfer complies with all provisions of this agreement, (b) the transferee is an individual of full age or a trust, corporation, firm or other legal entity, (c) duplicate originals of appropriate written instruments evidencing such transfer are delivered to the Managing Partner for deposit with the original copy of this agreement, (d) the transferee shall accept the transfer and agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this agreement and all the actions theretofore taken hereunder and (e) such other instruments are delivered to the Managing Partner as he may require to evidence the authority of the transferor to deliver and of the transferee to accept the transfer. Upon compliance with these requirements and subject to the following conditions, the transferee shall be a Member of the Partnership with the same rights and obligations as the transferor.

No transfer of a Partnership Interest shall be made without the prior written consent of the Managing Partner and any purported transfer without such consent shall be null and void, excepting however, that the following transactions are permitted without such consent:

(a) Any designation made pursuant to paragraph 11.

(b) In the event of the legal disability of any individual Member, his Partnership Interest may be transferred to his legal representatives.

(d) Any individual Member may transfer his Partnership Interest to a corporation of which he is the sole stockholder or to a trust in which he or members of his family are the sole beneficiaries.

(e) Any corporate Member having a sole individual stockholder may transfer its Partnership Interest to such stockholder.

(f) Any Member may transfer his Partnership Interest to any other Member.

(g) Wien may transfer his Partnership Interest to anyone at any time, except as limited by paragraph 14(b) and (c) hereof.

The term “transfer” as used herein shall include any assignment, pledge or other disposition or hypothecation, whether in whole or in part. The term “family” as used herein shall include only (i) the Member’s parents, grandparents, siblings and issue, and spouses and issue of any of the foregoing and (ii) the Member’s spouse and parents of said spouse.

The transfer or issuance of any stock of any corporate Member, however accomplished, shall be deemed a transfer of the corporate Member’s Partnership Interest, with the exception, however, of any transfer resulting by reason of death or of operation of law.

The transfer or issuance of any interest in any Member who is a partnership, however accomplished, shall be deemed a transfer of such Member’s Partnership Interest in this Partnership, with the exception, however, of any transfer resulting by reason of death or of operation of law.

In no event, and notwithstanding anything in this agreement to the contrary any sale, exchange or other transfer shall be null and void if, together with prior transfers during the preceeding 12 months, it would result in the termination of the Partnership within the meaning of Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code. Wien shall at all times retain a 1% Partnership Interest, which shall be transferred only in accordance with paragraph 14(b) and (c) hereof.

11. Any individual Member may designate any individual of full age, a trust, corporation, firm or other legal entity to succeed him upon his death as a Member of the Partnership. Such designation shall be made by an appropriate instrument in writing. If no such designation has been made by the deceased party, the executor of his will or administrator of his estate may make such designation. Any such designee shall accept such designation in writing, including the assumptions and agreements required by paragraphs 9 and 10(d), and shall thereupon be a Member of the Partnership with the same rights and obligations as formerly possessed by the deceased Member.

12. If any capital contribution is required to be made by the partners under the partnership agreement of Company, each Member shall be obligated to contribute to the Partnership his proportionate share of the amount of the contribution required to be made by the Partnership. The request for a capital contribution shall be made by the Managing Partner by a notice in writing to the Members, and each Member shall, no later than ten days after the mailing of the notice, contribute his proportionate share. Each Member agrees to pay his share of any call for additional capital contributions. If any Member (Defaulting Member) shall fail to pay his

share of any such call within ten days after the mailing of the notice, then the other Members (Contributing Members) shall be privileged, but not obligated, to contribute all or a portion of the capital contribution which the Defaulting Member was obligated to make. If any amount shall remain uncommitted by the Contributing Members, then they shall have the right to admit new Members to provide any portion of the uncommitted capital contribution. Upon any such contribution, the Partnership Interest of the Defaulting Member shall be reduced to a percentage equal to one-half of a fraction the numerator of which is equal to his unrecovered capital contribution and the denominator of which is equal to the aggregate unrecovered capital contributions of all Members including the capital contributions then being made by the Contributing Members and any new Members.

Notwithstanding anything in this agreement contained to the contrary, as to the 1% Partnership Interest of Wien referred to in the last sentence of paragraph 10, if the holder thereof becomes a Defaulting Member, each person named in the list below to succeed to a vacancy in the office of the Managing Partner shall in the order of the listing have the first option to pay the share of any call against said 1% Partnership Interest on behalf of said Defaulting Member, and if any such successor does pay such capital call he shall become a Member as provided herein, and, he shall succeed Wien as the holder of the 1% Partnership Interest and in addition he shall succeed to Wien’s rights under paragraph 7 as Managing Partner. If none of such successors pays the share of the call as aforesaid, then all of the remaining Members shall have the right to decide, by a vote of a majority in interest, who shall be the successor Managing Partner and holder of the 1% Partnership Interest.

Because the Defaulting Member has failed to contribute his share of the call, the other Members will have been put at hazard with respect to their entire investment and will be obliged to seek funds to make up the default of the Defaulting Member. The damage which the Contributing Members will suffer, at times and under circumstances now impossible to foresee, and the extent of the hazard to their entire investment are impossible to predict. For these reasons, and in view of the fact that this is a mutually binding agreement covering all Members, each of whom may suffer or benefit from any such default, it is agreed that the Partnership Interest of the Defaulting Member shall be reduced as set forth in this paragraph.

To the extent that the Partnership Interest of the Defaulting Member is reduced as aforesaid, the Partnership Interests of the Contributing Members will be increased in proportion to their additional contributions and appropriate Partnership Interests assigned to said new Members.

Each Defaulting Member is hereby deemed to have irrevocably authorized and empowered the Managing Partner to execute and deliver on behalf of the Defaulting Member, as his agent and attorney-in-fact, any documents necessary to effectuate or evidence the aforesaid reduction of Partnership Interest and the increase of Partnership Interest of the Contributing Members and the assignment of Partnership Interests to new Members.

13. It is acknowledged that the Managing Partner has the legal power as a partner in Company to dissolve Company, subject to the provisions of the partnership agreement of Company. Upon any dissolution of Company, this Partnership shall be dissolved and any cash or other property received in liquidation of Company shall be forthwith distributed in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 4(b).

It is acknowledged that each of the Members has the power to dissolve and withdraw from this Partnership, but the Members do hereby agree that they shall not exercise such power without the prior written consent of all Members and of the Managing Partner. If any Member exercises such power in contravention of the foregoing sentence, he shall be personally liable for any damage sustained by the other parties in accordance with Section 69 of the Partnership Law of the State of New York (as presently in force). Upon the dissolution of the Partnership and withdrawal of such Member, the other Members agree to enter into a new Partnership agreement containing terms identical to those herein, except for the Member who exercised the power to terminate and withdraw. The withdrawing Member shall be entitled to a direct assignment from the partnership of his fractional interest in the Property, subject however, to the prior rights of Wien and Wien, Lane & Malkin to the amounts distributable in accordance with subdivisions 4(a)(iii)(B) and (C) and 4(b)(iii)(B) and (C), to the Member’s obligation for his share of any call for additional capital contributions under paragraph 12, to the reduction specified in paragraph 12 in the event of failure to make capital contributions and to the provisions of paragraphs 8, 15 and 16.

It is understood that the said direct assignment to the withdrawing Member shall be only an assignment of a profits interest as described in Section 53 of the Partnership Law of the State of New York (as presently in force), in that it shall merely entitle the withdrawing Member to receive in accordance with his contract the profits to which the assignor would otherwise be entitled and the withdrawing Member shall not be entitled to interfere in the management or administration of the business or affairs of either Company or the Partnership, nor to require any information or account of the transactions of either, nor to inspect the books of either; and in case of a dissolution of Company, the withdrawing Member shall be entitled to receive his share of the assignor’s profits (and capital) interest as aforesaid, and may require an account from the date only of the last account agreed to by all the partners in Company or by the Members, as the case may be.

14. (a) If the Managing Partner shall elect at any time to terminate his activities as Managing Partner, or if he should cease acting as Managing Partner as a result of his resignation, disqualification, death or any other reason, the following persons in the order stated shall succeed him as Managing Partner hereunder;

1. Peter L. Malkin, residing at ;

16. Any person of full age designated in writing by Members owning in the aggregate more than 50% in interest hereunder.

(b) Each successor shall be a Member and Managing Partner, and shall have the same rights and obligations with respect thereto as Wien. A person shall be disqualified from acting as Managing Partner hereunder in the event that (i) except in the case of a person designated under subdivision 16, above, he ceases to be a member of the firm of Wien, Lane & Malkin or its successors or (ii) he does not promptly acquire or he ceases to hold at least a 1% Partnership Interest hereunder or an economic interest at least equivalent to that amount.

(c) Wien hereby agrees that, when he ceases to be the Managing Partner hereunder, whether by reason of his death or any other cause, he shall sell (or if he is deceased, his personal representative shall sell) to the person designated to succeed him as Managing Partner, a 1% Partnership Interest hereunder or an equivalent economic interest (if such successor does not already own such an interest), at a price equal to the amount determined by multiplying 1% of the average of the “Cash flow from operations” for the three preceding calendar years by the factor set forth below (but in no event shall the total price be less than $100):


If the sale occurs on or after January 5th of the year listed below, but before the following January 5th		The multiplier shall be the factor listed on the corresponding line below, plus, in the case of a sale on or after January 5, 2056, an additional amount equal to (i) 1/365th of the difference between such factor and the factor listed immediately above it, times (ii) the number of full calendar days between the date of sale and the following January 5th

Each person who becomes a successor Managing Partner hereunder, by accepting such position, shall be deemed to have agreed that he and his personal representatives are similarly bound, when he ceases to be the Managing Partner, to sell said 1% Partnership Interest or equivalent economic interest to his successor as Managing Agent (if such successor does not already own such an interest), at a price to be determined in the same manner (but by reference to the appropriate factor at that time).

(d) If at any time, the Managing Partner exercises the right specified in paragraph 7, above, to hold the property as agent for the Partnership, he shall immediately execute an assignment of the Property, leaving blank the name of the assignee. Such assignment shall be deposited in escrow, together with a duplicate original copy of this agreement, with Wien, Lane & Malkin or its successors. Upon the qualification of a successor Managing Partner, if he also elects to hold the Property as agent, his name shall be inserted in the assignment and the escrow shall be released. The successor shall simultaneously execute and deliver an assignment in escrow for the use of his successor in the same manner. If the successor does not so elect, the Partnership shall be inserted in the assignment and the escrow shall be terminated.

(e) Wien’s rights to the amounts distributable to him under subdivisions 4(a)(iii)(C) and 4(b)(ii)(C) shall be freely transferable by him at any time in whole or in part. Although the holder of such rights may be a Member of the Partnership, such interest shall not be deemed a Partnership Interest as that term is used throughout this agreement, and the holder thereof shall not exercise any voting or management rights in the Partnership.

15. This agreement and the rights of the Members herein shall at all times be subject to the terms and conditions of the partnership agreement of Company. Any transferee of any Partnership Interest, or part thereof, shall take and hold same subject to the terms and provisions of this agreement and said partnership agreement of Company.

16. Any dispute arising out of or regarding this agreement or the Property shall be determined by arbitration in the City of New York in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect and such decision shall be binding on all of the parties.

17. This agreement shall for all purposes, including but not limited to, dissolution of this Partnership be governed by the Partnership Law of the State of New York.

18. This agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of such counterparts shall together constitute a single agreement.

19. This agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have hereunto set their hands as of the day and year first above written.

WHEREAS, Fisk Building Associates, a New York partnership (the “Master Partnership”) owns a net lease of and operates the Fisk Building at 250 West 57th Street, New York, New York, and

WHEREAS, the Master Partnership was organized pursuant to a certain agreement dated May 1, 1954 among Harry B. Helmsley and others as amended by agreement dated June 27, 1960, copies of which are annexed hereto as Exhibit A-l and A-2, respectively, and made a part hereof; said agreement as so amended is hereinafter called the “Master Partnership Agreement”, and

WHEREAS, by Assignment and Agreement dated August 1, 1988 between Lawrence A. Wien and the Agent, a copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit B and made ‘a part hereof, the parties thereto formed a joint venture (the “Underlying Joint Venture”) to acquire a 45% interest in the Master Partnership, and

WHEREAS, the Agent holds an interest in the Underlying Joint Venture, subject to the conditions contained in said Assignment and Agreement (which Underlying Joint Venture interest is hereinafter called “The Property”), and

WHEREAS, the parties wish to establish the ownership of The Property and to define their rights and obligations with respect thereto.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties agree as follows:

1. A joint venture is hereby formed for the ownership of The Property. The parties acknowledge that each Participant’s original capital contribution and joint venture interest hereunder are as set forth opposite his or her signature at the end of this Agreement.

2. This joint venture shall continue until The Property shall have been disposed of and shall not be interrupted or terminated by the act, bankruptcy, death, legal disability or dissolution of any Participant, the assignment (whether by operation of law or otherwise) of any interest of any Participant, the appointment of a successor to the Agent or any other cause.

3. The Agent shall comply with the terms of the Underlying Joint Venture Agreement and of the Master Partnership Agreement and shall act, without compensation, as Agent for this joint venture in the ownership of The Property. Any action taken by his or her with respect thereto, subject to the terms of this Agreement, shall bind this joint venture. The Participants shall share in proportion to their joint venture interests in all profits and losses arising from the ownership of The Property and in any liabilities incurred by the Agent in good faith and not in contravention of the terms of this Agreement.

4. The office of this joint venture shall be maintained at Wien, Malkin & Bettex, 60 East 42nd Street, New York, New York, or such other address as the Participants may hereafter designate. Said firm shall maintain the books and records of this joint venture and shall supervise the operation of this Agreement.

5. The Agent, as a member of the Underlying Joint Venture and with respect to the 45% interest in the Master Partnership, shall not agree or consent to any of the following matters, which are deemed to be major decisions of policy affecting the Participants, without the prior

written consent of either (i) Participants owning at least a majority in interest hereunder or (ii) Participants owning interests hereunder which together with interests held by consenting partners in KSIF Partners and interests held by consenting master partners in the Master Partnership total at least the percentage required for action on said matters under the Master Partnership Agreement:

a. Sale, transfer or mortgaging of The Property.

b. Sale, transfer or mortgaging of the net lease.

c. Modification, extension or prepayment of any mortgage on the net lease.

d. Modification of the net lease.

e. Making or modification of any sublease of all or substantially all of the premises.

Such consent shall be deemed conclusively granted by any Participant who fails to give written notice of objection within ten days after receipt of a notice from the Agent soliciting his or her consent. The Agent is hereby authorized to give any consent on behalf of a deceased Participant until a representative or successor for the deceased has been qualified to act on his or her behalf and has given the Agent written notice of such qualification together with evidence thereof reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

6. It is acknowledged that the Agent has the power as a member of the Underlying Joint Venture and of the Master Partnership to dissolve either or both. If he or she exercises such power without obtaining the prior written consent of Participants owning at least a majority in interest hereunder, he or she shall be personally liable for any damages sustained by the Participants. Any dissolution of the Underlying Joint Venture or of the Master Partnership caused by the act of the Agent shall effect a dissolution of this joint venture.

7. Except as provided in the preceding paragraph, the Agent shall not be personally liable for any act performed in good faith. The Participants shall indemnify the Agent in proportion to their joint venture interests against any loss or liability to which the Agent may be subjected by reason of acting as Agent hereunder. Such indemnity shall not apply, however, to any loss or liability resulting from obligations incurred at any time as a result of the Agent’s bad faith or in contravention of the terms of this Agreement.

8. a. If the Agent shall desire to terminate his or her agency, or if he or she shall be removed as Agent in the manner provided below, he or she shall, upon accounting to his or her successor for all funds which have previously come into his or her possession, be discharged from all further liability as Agent.

b. While Peter L. Malkin is serving as the Agent hereunder, he may be removed as such Agent by the written direction of Participants owning at least 75% in interest hereunder.

e. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph 8, the Agent or any designated successor agent who is a member of the firm of Wien, Malkin & Bettex may, while serving as Agent, modify the succession by designating any different order or adding additional names of individuals who are then members of said firm, and any person who ceases to be a member of said firm shall be disqualified from becoming an Agent or continuing to act as Agent hereunder.

9. The sale or transfer of any interest of any Participant shall not be valid unless:

b. duplicate originals of appropriate writ ten instruments evidencing such sale or transfer are delivered to the Agent for deposit with the original copy of this Agreement;

c. the transferee shall accept the transfer “in writing; and

If the transferee complies with these requirements, he or she shall be a member of this joint venture with the same rights and obligations as the transferor.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 9, no transfer of a joint venture interest hereunder shall be made if such transfer would (i) result in a termination of this joint venture or of the Underlying Joint Venture or of the Master Partnership under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or (ii) violate any provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any other applicable securities law and, if so attempted, such transfer shall be void ab initio and shall not bind this joint venture or the Underlying Joint Venture or the Master Partnership. In making a determination of these issues, the Agent in his or her discretion may require the transferor to furnish, at the transferor’s expense, an opinion of counsel passing on these issues.

10. Any Participant may designate any individual of full age or legal entity to succeed him or her, upon his or her death, as a member of this joint venture. Such designation shall be made in the Last Will and Testament of the deceased Participant, or if not so made, the executor or administrator of his or her Estate shall make and deliver such designation. In either event, the executor or administrator shall also deliver such other instruments as the attorneys for this joint venture may require to evidence the transfer of the deceased’s interest to the designee and the authority of the designee to accept such designation. Any such designee shall qualify as a successor by accepting such designation in writing and shall thereupon be a member of this joint venture with the same rights and obligations as the deceased.

In the event that any Participant dies and no representative or successor for him or her is qualified within eight months thereafter, the Agent or his or her designee may purchase the interest of the deceased within ninety days after the Agent receives notice of the expiration of the

eight-month period. The price shall be the amount of the capital contributions of the deceased, less any repayment thereof to the date of death, but under no circumstances less than $100. The Agent is hereby irrevocably appointed attorney-in-fact for the deceased to execute any papers and to take any other action necessary to evidence such sale and transfer. The purchaser shall accept the transfer in writing and thereupon the sale and transfer shall be complete.

11. If any capital contribution is hereafter required to be made by the partners in the Master Partnership, each Participant shall be obligated to contribute to this joint venture his or her proportionate share of the amount of the contribution required to be made by the Agent by reason of his holding The Property. The request for a capital contribution shall be made by the Agent by a notice in writing to the Participants, and each Participant shall, no later than fifteen days after the mailing of the notice, contribute his or her proportionate share.

If any Participant (“Defaulting Participant”) shall fail to pay his or her share of any such call within fifteen days after the mailing of a notice in writing by the Agent to the Participant, then the Agent shall have the option (a) to proceed directly against the Defaulting Participant to recover the unpaid call together with reasonable attorney’s fees and interest at the highest lawful rate or (b) to offer to the other Participants (“Contributing Participants”) the right to contribute all or a portion of said call. The election of the option under (a) or (b) shall not be exclusive of each other and the Agent may at any time both proceed directly as aforesaid and offer as aforesaid.

If the Agent elects to offer said right to the Contributing Participants, then they shall be privileged but not obligated to commit to contribute all or a portion of the capital contribution which the Defaulting Participant is obligated to make. If any amount shall remain uncommitted by the Contributing Participants, then the Agent shall have the right to admit new Participants to

provide any portion of the uncommitted capital contribution. Upon such contributions, the joint venture interest of the Defaulting Participant shall be deemed automatically reduced to a fraction equal to one half of the fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the total of (i) his or her initial capital contribution and (ii) the amount of any additional capital contributions made by him or her, and the denominator of which is equal to the total of (i) the aggregate capital contributions theretofore made by all Participants and (ii) the aggregate, additional capital contributions then being made by the Contributing Participants and the new Participants, if any. After three defaults by a Defaulting Participant, his or her joint venture interest shall be deemed automatically reduced to zero and said Defaulting Participant shall have no further interest or rights hereunder.

Because the Defaulting Participant has failed to contribute his or her share of the call, the other Participants will have been put at hazard with respect to their entire investment and will be obliged to seek funds to make up the default of the Defaulting Participant. The damage which the Contributing Participants will suffer, at times and under circumstances now impossible to foresee, and the extent of the hazard to their entire investment are impossible to predict. For these reasons, and in view of the fact that this is a mutually binding agreement covering all Participants, each of whom may suffer or benefit from any such default, it is agreed that the joint venture interest of the Defaulting Participant shall be reduced as set forth in this paragraph.

To the extent that the joint venture interest of the Defaulting Participant is reduced as aforesaid, the joint venture interests of the Contributing Participants shall be deemed automatically increased in proportion to their additional contributions and appropriate joint venture interests shall be assigned to said new Participants.

Each Defaulting Participant is hereby deemed to have irrevocably authorized and empowered the Agent to execute and deliver on behalf of the Defaulting Participant, as his or her agent and attorney-in-fact, any documents necessary to evidence or effectuate the aforesaid reductions of joint venture interests and increases of joint venture interests of the Contributing Participants and the assignment of joint venture interests to new Participants.

Each Participant hereby pledges and assigns his or her joint venture interest as security for the performance of his or her obligations hereunder and does hereby grant to the Agent all rights available to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and the comparable laws of his or her state of residence and agrees, upon request, to deliver to the Agent a duly executed financing statement and any other document which the Agent may reasonably request with respect thereto. This collateral pledge is given as security for the performance of each Participant’s obligation to pay calls. However, resort to this collateral pledge is optional on the part of the Agent and the Agent may proceed directly against the Defaulting Participant to recover the unpaid call together with attorney’s fees and interest as aforesaid, with or without resort to the Collateral.

Whether the Agent elects to proceed directly or to offer the right to contribute as aforesaid or to do both, the Agent is hereby authorized to make interim borrowings on behalf of this joint venture of the necessary funds to pay the amount of the unpaid call to the Master Partnership; provided that any funds thereafter distributable to the Defaulting Participant, generated by transfer of the Defaulting Participant’s interest or generated by foreclosure of said collateral pledge shall be applied first in reduction of the principal and interest of such borrowing.

Upon withdrawal of a Participant from this joint venture, he or she shall remain obligated for any unsatisfied capital call made up to the date of withdrawal, but shall have no liability for capital calls made after such date. An “unsatisfied capital call” shall mean any amount remaining unpaid or uncommitted for or not paid as a result of the foreclosure of said collateral pledge.

12. Any dispute arising out of or regarding this Agreement or The Property shall be determined by arbitration in the City of New York, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect, and such decision shall be binding upon all of the parties.

13. This Agreement shall for all purposes, including but not limited to dissolution of this joint venture, be governed by the Partnership Law of the State of New York, as presently in force, to the same extent as if this joint venture were a general partnership.

14. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all such counterparts together constitute a single agreement.

15. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
