), dated as of October 28, 2008, is to set forth certain terms and
conditions for issuer forward transactions that Lexington Realty Trust (

) entered into between Citigroup and Counterparty that is to be
subject to this Master Confirmation shall be evidenced by a written confirmation substantially in
the form of Exhibit A hereto, with such modifications thereto as to which Counterparty and
Citigroup mutually agree (a

and form a part of, and be subject to, the Agreement (as such term is defined herein), shall

Transaction, as set forth in the Transaction Confirmation.
This Master Confirmation and a Transaction Confirmation evidence a complete binding agreement
between you and us as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Master Confirmation and such
Transaction Confirmation relates. This Master Confirmation and each Transaction Confirmation

ISDA Agreement
), in the form published by the
International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (
ISDA
) (each a
Confirmation
) confirming transactions (each a
Transaction
) entered into between
you and us (notwithstanding anything to the contrary in a Confirmation), shall supplement, form a
part of, and be subject to an agreement in the form of the ISDA Agreement as if we had executed an
agreement in such form (without a Schedule, but with the elections herein) on the Trade Date of the
first such Transaction between you and us (the
Agreement
). A copy of the ISDA Agreement
has been, or promptly after the date hereof will be, delivered to you.
The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the

TO, THESE COURTS.

Equity Definitions will control for the purpose of the Transaction to which a Transaction
Confirmation relates. In the event of any inconsistency between the Definitions and this Master
Confirmation, this Master Confirmation will control for the purpose of the Transaction to which a
Transaction Confirmation relates. In the event of any inconsistency between the Definitions and

Transaction Confirmation will govern. With respect to a Transaction, capitalized terms used herein
that are not otherwise defined shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Transaction
Confirmation relating to such Transaction.
2. Each party will make each payment specified in this Master Confirmation or a Transaction
Confirmation as being payable by such party, not later than the due date for value on that date in

Settlement Terms:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Settlement Method:
|
|
In respect of a Settlement Period relating to the Maturity Date
or a Settlement Period relating to an Optional Early Settlement
with respect to the entire remaining Number of Shares,
Counterparty shall be entitled to elect by timely written notice
to Citigroup whether to settle the Transaction by (i) Full
Physical Settlement, (ii) Net Cash Settlement or (iii) Net
Share Settlement as described below;
provided
that, if
Counterparty fails to so elect or if Counterparty properly elects
either of Net Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement, but
Citigroup reasonably determines that the Alternative Settlement
Conditions have not been satisfied, Counterparty shall be deemed
to have elected Full Physical Settlement. Counterparty shall
send irrevocable written notice to Citigroup of its election of a
settlement method at least 40 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the
Maturity Date (or, in the case of Optional Early Settlement, as
part of the Optional Settlement Notice). By electing Net Cash
Settlement or Net Share Settlement, Counterparty is deemed to
represent that Counterparty is not aware of any material
nonpublic information concerning itself or the Shares, and is
electing such settlement in good faith and not as part of a plan
or scheme to evade compliance with the federal securities laws.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In respect of any other Settlement Period, Full Physical
Settlement shall apply unless the parties agree on a methodology
for settlement on a net cash or net share equivalent basis (e.g.,
a marketed or a block offering), equivalent conditions to the
Alternative Settlement Conditions are satisfied, and Counterparty
represents that Counterparty is not aware of any material
nonpublic information concerning itself or the Shares, and is
agreeing to net cash or net share settlement in good faith and
not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with the
federal securities laws. The parties acknowledge and agree that
any such net cash or net share settlement shall be structured to
result in (i) if the value of the Shares determined by the agreed
methodology is greater than the Initial Price, the Notional
Amount being reduced (but not below zero) by an amount equal to
the product of the number of Settlement Shares and the Initial
Price or (ii) if the value of the Shares determined by the agreed
methodology is less than or equal to the Initial Price, the
Notional Amount being reduced (but not below zero) by an amount
equal to the lesser of (a) an amount equal to the number of
Settlement Shares and such value and (b) 150% of the result
obtained by
dividing
the remaining Notional Amount (determined
prior to reduction for such Settlement Shares) as of the
Settlement Period Start Date by the remaining Number of Shares
(determined prior to reduction for such Settlement Shares) as of
the Settlement Period Start Date.
|
|
|
|
Settlement Period:
|
|
The period during which Citigroup transfers Shares to
Counterparty or otherwise values Shares in settlement or partial
settlement of this Transaction, which shall be (a) in the case of
Full Physical Settlement, a single Trading Day (i.e.,
|
5
|
|
|
|
|
the
Settlement Period Start Date) and (b) in the case of Net Cash
Settlement or Net Share Settlement, the period beginning on the
Settlement Period Start Date, and ending on, and including, the
Trading Day thereafter that (i) in the case of the Settlement
Period relating to the Maturity Date, is 29 Trading Days
thereafter (or such other number as the parties may agree) and
(ii) in the case of any other Settlement Period, is a number of
Trading Days determined by the Calculation Agent, taking into
account the number of Settlement Shares for such Settlement
Period (or such other number of Trading Days as the parties may
agree).
|
|
|
|
Settlement Shares:
|
|
For any Settlement Period, the portion of the Number of Shares
that is subject to such Settlement Period. In connection with
any Settlement Period occurring due to a Partial Termination
Event, the number of Settlement Shares shall be determined by the
Calculation Agent. In connection with any Settlement Period
occurring due to an Optional Early Settlement, the number of
Settlement Shares shall be as specified by Counterparty in the
relevant Optional Settlement Notice. In connection with the
Settlement Period relating to the Maturity Date, the number of
Settlement Shares shall be the remainder of the Number of Shares.
|
|
|
|
Settlement Period Start Date:
|
|
In the case of the Settlement Period relating to the Maturity
Date, (i) if Full Physical Settlement applies, the Maturity Date
and (ii) if Net Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement applies,
the day that is 32 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Maturity
Date (the
Net Maturity Settlement Start Date
).
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the case of a Settlement Period relating to an Optional Early
Settlement, the date specified by Counterparty in its Optional
Settlement Notice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the case of a Settlement Period relating to a Partial
Termination Event, the first Trading Day immediately following
delivery of Citigroups notice to commence the relevant
Settlement Period.
|
|
|
|
Optional Early Settlement:
|
|
At any time prior to the Net Maturity Settlement Start Date for
such Transaction, Counterparty may elect by at least 10 Scheduled
Trading Days written notice to Citigroup (an
Optional
Settlement Notice
) to specify a Settlement Period Start Date
prior to the Net Maturity Settlement Start Date for purposes of
effecting a settlement with respect to all or a portion of the
remaining Number of Shares for such Transaction (as specified in
such notice) not previously subject to a Settlement Period (an
Optional Early Settlement
), so long as no other Settlement
Period for such Transaction has occurred and is continuing at the
time of such election.
|
|
|
|
Partial Termination Event:
|
|
If on any day Citigroups hedge in respect of all Transactions
hereunder along with other Shares beneficially owned by Citigroup
Inc. (the
Transaction Equity
) exceeds 9.8% of the number of
outstanding Shares on such day, a
Partial
|
6
|
|
|
|
|
Termination Event
shall be deemed to have occurred. Citigroup shall use its
reasonable efforts to avoid transactions with third parties that
could reasonably be expected to result in Citigroup Inc.s
beneficial ownership exceeding 9.8%. Upon the occurrence of a
Partial Termination Event, Citigroup shall have the right to
commence a Settlement Period with respect to a portion of the
Number of Shares for such Transaction not previously subject to a
Settlement Period such that, after completion of the Settlement
Period related to such Partial Termination Event, the Transaction
Equity as determined by Citigroup is less than 9.8% of the number
of outstanding Shares.
|
|
|
|
|
|
At Citigroups option, upon notice to Counterparty, (x) any other
Settlement Period that has commenced prior to the start of the
Settlement Period for such Partial Termination Event, and has not
ended, shall end on the Trading Day immediately preceding
delivery by Citigroup of the notice referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph and (y) the Calculation Agent
shall adjust the number of Settlement Shares for such other
Settlement Period and the parties obligations with respect to
settlement thereof appropriately to reflect the truncated
Settlement Period.

|
|
If Full Physical Settlement applies to a Settlement Period, on a
delivery versus payment basis, Citigroup will deliver to
Counterparty on the related Settlement Period Start Date the

payment from Counterparty to Citigroup of the Accreted Settlement
Period Amount for such Settlement Period.
|
|
|
|
Settlement Period Amount:
|
|
In respect of a Settlement Period, an amount equal to (i) the
Settlement Shares for such Settlement Period
divided
by
the
remaining Number of Shares (determined prior to reduction for
such Settlement Shares) as of the Settlement Period Start Date
multiplied
by
(ii) the remaining Notional Amount (determined
prior to reduction for such Settlement Shares) as of the
Settlement Period Start Date.

the third Scheduled Trading Day following the completion of the

Floating Rate Amount.

Settlement Period, if the Net Settlement Amount is positive,
Citigroup shall deliver to Counterparty a number of Shares
(rounded to the nearest whole Share) equal to such amount
divided
by
the Average Settlement Period Price for such Settlement
Period, and if the Net Settlement Amount is negative,
Counterparty shall deliver to Citigroup a number of Shares
(rounded to the nearest whole Share) equal to the absolute value
of such amount
divided
by
the Average Settlement Period Price for
such Settlement Period. In addition, Counterparty shall pay to
Citigroup the Settlement Period Floating Rate Amount.
|
|
|
|
Net Settlement Amount:
|
|
In respect of a Settlement Period, an amount equal to (i) the

respecting applicable federal securities laws that such
Settlement Period should be suspended. As promptly as

of this Transaction to the extent appropriate to effectuate the
fundamental economic terms of this Transaction.

Citigroup shall pay to Counterparty the amount thereof, within
five Business Days of the date such cash dividend or distribution
is paid to holders of Shares, in respect of the remaining Number
of Shares for such Transaction (adjusted as the Calculation Agent

|
|
pending Settlement Period or
settlement, taking into account the applicable Settlement
Method);

Prepayment, and if an Event of Default or a Potential Event of
Default with respect to Counterparty has occurred and is

Alternative Settlement Conditions
:
(a) Notwithstanding Counterpartys timely election of Net Cash Settlement or Net Share
Settlement, Net Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement shall apply to this Transaction only if the
following conditions (the
Alternative Settlement Conditions
) are satisfied:
(i) By no later than the Settlement Period Start Date, Counterparty shall have made
available to Citigroup and its affiliates, in form and substance satisfactory to Citigroup,
an effective registration statement (the
Registration Statement
) pursuant to Rule
415 under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the
Securities Act
) and one or
more prospectuses as necessary to allow Citigroup and its affiliates to comply with the
applicable prospectus delivery requirements (the
Prospectus
) for the public resale
by Citigroup and its affiliates of all Settlement Shares and, in the case of Net Share
Settlement, such number of additional Shares reasonably specified by Citigroup, and such
Registration Statement shall be effective and Prospectus shall be current for each day in
the Settlement Period (other than a day on which the Settlement Period has been suspended
pursuant to Suspension of Settlement Period above) until all Settlement Shares and any
such additional Shares have been sold;
(ii) By no later than the Settlement Period Start Date, Citigroup and its affiliates
shall have been afforded a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation
with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for underwritten follow-on offerings of
equity securities of companies of comparable size, maturity and lines of business
(including, without limitation, (x) the opportunity to review Counterpartys books and
records and to make reasonable inquiries of appropriate officers of Counterparty and of
Counterpartys independent public accountants and (y) the provision of opinions of counsel,
comfort letters, officers certificates and representations and such other documents as is
customary for an underwritten follow-on offering of equity securities of companies of
comparable size, maturity and lines of business and as may be reasonably requested by
Citigroup), and the results of such investigation shall have been satisfactory to Citigroup,
in its reasonable discretion;
(iii) The following representation, which Counterparty shall be deemed to make on the
Settlement Period Start Date and on each day thereafter (other than a day on which the
Settlement Period has been suspended pursuant to Suspension of Settlement Period above)
until all Settlement Shares and any such additional Shares have been sold, shall be true and
correct:
Counterparty represents that each of its filings under the Securities Act, the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the
Exchange Act
) or other
applicable securities laws that are required to be filed have been filed and that,
as of the respective dates thereof and as of the date of this representation, there
is no misstatement of material fact contained therein or omission of a
11
material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading;
(iv) By no later than the Settlement Period Start Date, Counterparty shall have taken
all required action so that all Shares covered by the Registration Statement are eligible
for sale on the Exchange, entered into such customary agreements (including a customary
underwriting agreement reasonably acceptable to Citigroup) with Citigroup, its affiliates
and other underwriters or agents, if any, selected by Citigroup, as reasonably requested by
Citigroup in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Shares (which agreement
shall include, without limitation, provisions in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
Citigroup regarding indemnity and contribution) and Counterparty shall comply with such
agreements, and otherwise take such actions reasonably requested by Citigroup to facilitate
the disposition of the Shares (including, without limitation, the filing of any supplements
and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement reasonably required by
Citigroup) until all Settlement Shares and any related additional Shares have been sold; and
(v) Counterparty shall have paid all reasonable and customary costs and expenses
actually incurred in connection with the foregoing (including, without limitation, legal and
other expenses incurred by Citigroup or its affiliates in connection with the preparation of
the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and the due diligence investigation described
in clause (ii) above).
(b) Counterparty shall notify Citigroup immediately after obtaining knowledge that any of the
Alternative Settlement Conditions has ceased to be satisfied at any time prior to the time all
Settlement Shares and any such additional Shares have been sold.
(c) If, in Citigroups reasonable judgment, any of the Alternative Settlement Conditions has
ceased to be satisfied at any time prior to the time all Settlement Shares and any such additional
Shares have been sold, Citigroup shall be entitled, in its discretion, to suspend and/or terminate
the Settlement Period. If Citigroup terminates the Settlement Period, the Calculation Agent shall
adjust the terms of the Transaction as it reasonably determines appropriate, with Full Physical
Settlement applying to the portion of the Settlement Shares relating to the remainder of the
Settlement Period and Net Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement, as applicable, applying to the
other portion of the Settlement Period.

appropriately to reflect any additional funding costs incurred, or any reduction in funding costs
received, by Citigroup.
(e)

collateral with respect to a Transaction to constitute margin payments and transfers under a
swap agreement as defined in the Bankruptcy Code; and (iv) all payments for, under or in

constitute settlement payments and transfers under a swap agreement as defined in the
Bankruptcy Code.

agent of such party) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S.
tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are

Severability; Illegality
. If compliance by either party with any provision of a
Transaction would be unenforceable or illegal, (i) the parties shall negotiate in good faith to
resolve such unenforceability or illegality in a manner that preserves the economic benefits of the
transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) the other provisions of the Transaction shall not be
invalidated, but shall remain in full force and effect.
(p)

STOCKHOLDERS) ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED

Agreement (Vornado), dated as of December 31, 2006, between the Company and VRT (the
Original
Agreement
). Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, in this Agreement shall have
the meanings given to them in the hereinafter-mentioned Declaration.
RECITALS
A. Article IX of the Companys Declaration of Trust (the
Declaration
) contains (1) a
restriction prohibiting any Person from Beneficially Owning or Constructively Owning outstanding
shares of beneficial interest in the Company which are classified as Common Stock or Preferred
Stock (the
Equity Stock
) in excess of 9.8% of the value of the outstanding Equity Stock
of the Company (the
Ownership Limit
) and (2) a restriction setting forth that any sale,
transfer, gift, hypothecation, pledge, assignment, devise or other disposition of Equity Stock of
the Company that, if effective, would result in any Person Beneficially Owning or Constructively
Owning Equity Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of
that number of shares of Equity Stock which would be otherwise Beneficially or Constructively Owned
by such Person in excess of the Ownership Limit; and the intended transferee shall acquire no
rights in such excess shares of Equity Stock.
B. The Company and Vornado entered into the Original Agreement in connection with the merger
of Newkirk Realty Trust, Inc. with and into the Company on December 31, 2006.
C. Vornado has requested an increase in the number of shares of Equity Stock that are covered
by the Original Agreement in connection with a purchase of an additional 8.0 million shares of
Equity Stock of the Company which purchase is estimated to close on or about October 31, 2008 (the
date of the actual closing, the
Settlement Date
).
D. Pursuant to subparagraph (a)(9) of Article IX of the Declaration, the Companys Board of
Trustees has adopted resolutions approving Vornados exemption from the Ownership Limit on the
terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
AGREEMENT
1. WAIVER OF OWNERSHIP LIMIT
1.1 The Company exempts Vornado, effective as of the date hereof and subject to the terms
herein, from the Ownership Limit solely (A) (i) to the extent of Vornados Beneficial Ownership or
Constructive Ownership of the lesser of (1) 8,000,000 shares of Equity Stock of
the Company to be acquired on the Settlement Date plus the number of shares of Equity Stock
of the Company into which 8,149,594 limited partnership units in The Lexington Master Limited
Partnership (

) are redeemable pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated
Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership; and (2) any lesser number of shares of Equity
Stock of the Company owned by Vornado from time to time after the Settlement Date,
plus
(ii) the number of shares of Equity Stock of the Company applicable to Vornados Beneficial
Ownership or Constructive Ownership of any Equity Stock of the Company that is owned by Winthrop

of Equity Stock of the Company owned by Winthrop from time to time following the Settlement Date,
and (B) upon and subject to Vornados compliance with Section 2.2 below and its continued
compliance with the covenants referred to therein. This exemption shall not apply to any other shares of Equity Stock of the Company Beneficially Owned or Constructively Owned by Vornado.
1.2 For avoidance of doubt, (x) following any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition
by Vornado of shares of Equity Stock of the Company, the exemption granted by the Company
hereunder shall exempt Vornado from the Ownership Limit only with respect to the maximum aggregate
number of shares of Equity Stock of the Company, as the case may be, owned by Vornado immediately
after such sale, assignment, transfer or disposition and after each such sale, assignment,
transfer or disposition by Vornado anytime thereafter and (y) under no circumstances shall this
exemption apply to any Equity Stock of the Company acquired by Vornado or Winthrop at any time
after the Settlement Date, with the exception of shares of Equity Stock of the Company acquired by
Vornado upon redemption of the 8,149,594 MLP Units or that are acquired by Vornado through a
distribution by Winthrop of the 3,500,000 (or such lesser number) shares of Equity Stock owned by
Winthrop on the Settlement Date.
2. LIMITATIONS AND OTHER MATTERS
2.1 The exemption set forth in Section 1 above (the
Ownership Limit Waiver
) shall
not be effective if and to the extent that, as a result of Vornados ownership of Equity Stock of
the Company permitted by reason of the Ownership Limit Waiver, (A) the Company would be considered
to own (actually or Constructively, applying the provisions of Section 856(d)(5) of the Code) an
interest described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code in a Vornado Related Tenant (as defined
in Section 2.4 herein), or (B) any individual (within the meaning of Section 542(a)(2) of the Code) would be considered to own (within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code) any of the
shares of Equity Stock of the Company covered by the Ownership Limit Waiver, of more than 9.8% (by
number of shares or value, whichever is more restrictive) of the total outstanding shares of
Equity Stock of the Company (whether or not such ownership causes the Company to be closely held
under the REIT rules). In addition, if the Ownership Limit Waiver is not effective as a result of
the operation of any clause(s) of the preceding sentence, the Equity Stock of the Company that
otherwise would be Excess Stock shall be deemed to have been transferred to the Company in
accordance with subparagraph (b)(1) of Article IX of the Declaration.
2.2 For the Ownership Limit Waiver to be effective, Vornado Realty L.P. must execute a
counterpart signature page to this Agreement and complete and make the
-2-
representations and covenants set forth in the Certificate of Representations and Covenants,
the form of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit A
(the
Certificate
), and must
deliver such Certificate to the Company. Except as otherwise determined by the Board of Trustees
of the Company, the Ownership Limit Waiver shall cease to be effective upon any breach of the
representations or covenants set forth herein or in the Certificate. In addition, if the
Ownership Limit Waiver ceases to be effective as a result of the operation of the preceding
sentence, the shares of Equity Stock of the Company that would otherwise be Excess Stock shall be
deemed to have been transferred to the Company in accordance with subparagraph (b)(1) of Article
IX of the Declaration.
2.3 Vornado Realty L.P. shall deliver to the Company, at such times as may reasonably be
requested by the Company (it being acknowledged that the Company may reasonably make such request
on at least a calendar quarterly basis), a certificate signed by an authorized officer of Vornado
Realty L.P. to the effect that Vornado Realty L.P. has complied and expects to continue to comply
with its representations and covenants set forth in this Agreement and the Certificate. If so
requested by the Company, Vornado will cooperate with the Company in investigating any direct or
indirect relationship that Vornado and any Person whose ownership of shares of Equity Stock of the
Company would be attributed to Vornado under Section 318(a) of the Code (as modified by Section
856(d)(5) of the Code), may have with the Companys tenants or independent contractors (within
the meaning of Section 856(d)(3) of the Code), including but not limited to Vornados relationship
with Winthrop, for purposes of determining compliance with the provisions of this Ownership Limit
Waiver and in updating the Certificate accordingly. However, the Companys remedies under this
Agreement with respect to Vornado Realty L.P.s representations and covenants set forth in this
Agreement and the Certificate shall become effective only if and for the taxable years of the
Company during which Vornado requires the exemptions afforded to Vornado under this Agreement (the
Waiver Period
).
2.4 For purposes of this Agreement,
Vornado Related Tenant
means any entity (x) in
which Vornado owns during the Waiver Period (actually or Constructively, applying the provisions
of Section 856(d)(5) of the Code), in the case of a corporation, shares equal to or greater than
the Threshold Percentage (as defined in Section 2.5 herein) of either the total combined voting
power of all classes of stock of such entity entitled to vote or the total value of shares of all
classes of stock of such entity or, in the case of an entity that is not a corporation, an
interest equal to or greater than the Threshold Percentage in the assets or net profits of such
entity (such actual or Constructive ownership equal to or greater than the Threshold Percentage
being hereinafter called a
Related Interest
), (y) from which the Company is or will be
deriving rental income (other than a taxable REIT subsidiary, if the requirements of Section
856(d)(8) of the Code are satisfied) and (z) included in the tenant list (the
Tenant
List
) attached hereto as
Exhibit B
(or added to such Tenant List pursuant to the next
sentence), unless the Board of Trustees of the Company has determined that the Company derives
(and is expected to continue to derive) an amount of gross rental income that is sufficiently
small so as not to adversely affect the Companys ability to qualify as a REIT. The Company may
add an entity to the Tenant List from time to time by written notice (which may be made by email
with a written confirmation copy to follow within one business day by hand, facsimile or overnight
delivery) to Vornado and Vornado shall promptly review any such revisions to the Tenant List
(reflecting substitute or additional tenants) at the request of the
-3-
Company and recertify its acknowledgment and agreement under this Agreement to such Tenant
List within three (3) business days of the date of such written notice, which response may
initially be made by email, but shall be followed within two (2) business days thereafter with a
hard copy of recertification of the Certificate in Exhibit A with the updated Tenant List attached
(the
Response Period
),
provided, however
, that if such notice is delivered at a
time when Vornado owns a Related Interest in such entity that would result in the Companys owning
(actually or Constructively) an interest in such entity described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the
Code, then, subject to the following proviso, such entity shall not be added to the Tenant List so
long as Vornado so notifies the Company within the Response Period, which response shall include
Vornados percentage owned in such entity;
provided
,
further
, that if such notice
is given at a time when either Vornados interest in such entity has a fair market value of less
than $1,000,000 or Vornado is engaged in active discussions regarding a potential acquisition of a
Related Interest in such entity that would result in the Companys owning (actually or
Constructively) an interest in such entity described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code, then
Vornado shall so notify the Company within the Response Period, and the parties shall jointly
determine in good faith, based on the parties relative economic interests and REIT qualification
interests with respect to such entity, whether such entity shall be added to the Tenant List.
Vornado shall advise the Company of the percentage ownership that its Related Interest represents
in each Vornado Related Tenant not later than five days following the date of the Companys
request for such information.
2.5 For purposes of Section 2.4 above, the
Threshold Percentage
shall mean the
percentage which, taking into account the shares or other ownership interests in the applicable
tenant held by each other holder of shares of Equity Stock of the Company (as of the date of
determination) who or which prior to the date hereof has been granted an exemption from the
Ownership Limit (an Exempt Holder), would cause the Company to own (actually or Constructively,
applying the provisions of Section 856(d)(5) of the Code) stock or other ownership interests in
such applicable tenant equal to or greater than 9.8%. If more than one Exempt Holder owns shares
or other ownership interests with respect to the applicable tenant that, in the aggregate, amount
to 9.8% or greater , then each such Exempt Holders Threshold Percentage in such applicable tenant
shall mean the percentage determined by dividing 9.8% by the number of such Exempt Holders as of
the date of determination. The Company hereby represents and warrants that as of the date hereof,
the Company has granted waivers of Article IX of the Declaration to those Exempted Holders (other
than Vornado) and in such amounts as set forth on Exhibit C hereto and represents and warrants
that such waiver shall terminate upon such Exempted Holders ownership decreasing below 9.8%.
3. MISCELLANEOUS
3.1 All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Maryland,
without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision (whether of the State of
Maryland or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the State of Maryland.
-4-
3.2 This Agreement may be signed by the parties in separate counterparts, each of which when
so signed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute
one and the same instrument.
3.3 All references to any Code provision shall be deemed to include any successor provisions
of the Code and any regulatory, judicial or administrative amendment or interpretation of such
statutory provisions.
3.4 To the extent shares of Equity Stock subject to the Ownership Limitation Waiver provided
for in this Agreement are treated as Excess Shares pursuant to Article IX of the Declaration, if
permitted under applicable law and regulation, the treatment of shares of Equity Stock as Excess
Shares shall be done in a way that first treats shares of Equity Stock other than shares of Equity
Stock acquired on the Settlement Date as Excess Shares and then any other shares of Equity Stock,
including the shares of Equity Stock acquired on the Settlement Date. For the avoidance of doubt,
nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted, construed or deemed to grant a waiver of the
Ownership Limit to anyone other than Vornado.

2. AUTOMATIC AND DEMAND REGISTRATIONS.
(a)
Issuance Registration
. The parties acknowledge that pursuant to the
Original Agreement, the Company filed a registration statement on January 18, 2007 (the Initial
Registration Statement) with the SEC on the appropriate form for a continuous offering to be made
pursuant to Rule 415 providing for the delivery to the Holders of Common Shares issued pursuant to
such registration statement upon the tendering of Partnership Units for redemption or exchange.
The Initial Registration Statement was effective upon filing. If such registration statement
ceases to be effective for any reason at any time prior to the delivery of all Common Shares
registered thereunder, then the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the
prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness thereof. The Company shall be
responsible for all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration pursuant to this
Section 2(a). The Company shall promptly supplement and amend such registration statement and the
prospectus included therein if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the
registration statement used for such registration statement or by the Securities Act. Except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, any registration statement filed pursuant to this Section
2(a) shall not eliminate any right to registration provided under other sections of this Agreement.
(b)
Right to Request Registration
. At any time on or after the date
hereof, a Holder may request pursuant to this Section 2(b) registration under the Securities Act of
the resale of all or part of the Shareholders Registrable Common Shares (Demand Registration);
provided, that the Holder shall not be entitled to request any Demand Registrations while the Shelf
Registration Statement is effective and available for registration and resale of the Registrable
Common Shares.
(c)
Number of Demand Registrations
. Subject to the provisions of Section
2(b) and the notice requirements of Section 10, the Shareholder shall be entitled to request an
aggregate of two Demand Registrations per year, and shall not be entitled to request that less than
25% of the Registrable Common Shares be included in any Demand Registration.
(d)
Restrictions on Demand Registrations
. The Company shall not be
obligated to effect any Demand Registration within six months after the effective date of a
previous Demand Registration or a previous Shelf Registration Statement (as hereinafter defined)
wherein the Shareholder was permitted to register, and sold, at least 25% of the Registrable Common
Shares requested to be included therein. In no event shall the Company be obligated to effect more
than two (2) Demand Registrations hereunder or under the Other Registration Rights Agreement in any
single twelve (12) month period, with the first such period measured from the date of the first
Demand Registration and ending on the same date twelve months
following such Demand Registration,
whether or not a Business Day;
provided, however
,
that if (i) the Company is requested to
effect a Demand Registration under this Agreement which is not otherwise designated by the
Shareholder to be a shelf registration statement and (ii) is also requested to effect one or more
Demand Registrations (as such term is defined in the Other Registration Rights Agreement) pursuant
to the Other Registration Rights Agreement within any eighteen (18) month period during which the
Company is eligible to file a registration statement on Form S-3 or on a successor form, then the
Company shall only be obligated with respect to such latter registration statement during such
period to register that percentage of the Registrable Common Shares equal to the product obtained
by dividing (i) the number of Registrable Common Shares held by the Shareholder by (ii) the total
number of Registrable Common Shares covered under this Agreement and the Other Registration Rights
Agreement. The Company may (i) postpone for up to ninety (90) days the filing or the effectiveness
of a Registration Statement for a Demand Registration if, based on the good faith judgment of the
Companys board of directors, such postponement or withdrawal is necessary in order to avoid
premature disclosure of a matter the board has determined would be reasonably expected to result in
a material adverse effect to the Companys business, financial condition, results of operations or
prospects or the loss of a material opportunity to be disclosed at such time or (ii) postpone the
filing of a Demand Registration in the event the Company shall be required to prepare audited
financial statements as of a date other than its fiscal year end (unless the shareholders
requesting such registration agree to pay the expenses of such an audit); provided, however, that
in no event shall the Company withdraw a Registration Statement under clause (i) after such
Registration Statement has been declared effective; and provided, further, however, that in any of
the events described in clause (i) or (ii) above, the Shareholder shall be entitled to withdraw
such request and, if such request is withdrawn, such Demand Registration shall not count as one of
the permitted Demand Registrations. The Company shall provide written notice to the Shareholder of
(x) any postponement or withdrawal of the filing or effectiveness of a Registration Statement
pursuant to this Section 2(e), (y) the Companys decision to file or seek effectiveness of such
Registration Statement following such withdrawal or postponement and (z) the effectiveness of such
Registration Statement. The Company may defer the filing of a particular Registration Statement
pursuant to this Section 2(d) only once.
(f)
Selection of Underwriters
. If any of the Registrable Common Shares

shelf takedown, the Holder initiating such transaction, shall have the right to select the
managing underwriter(s) to administer the offering subject to the approval of the Company, which
will not be unreasonably withheld;
provided
,
however
,
that the Company
shall have the right to select the managing underwriter, subject to the approval of the Holder,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld, in the event of any underwritten offering pursuant to a
Demand Registration or shelf takedown where the Company is bearing the expenses of such Demand
Registration or shelf takedown.
(g)
Effective Period of Demand Registrations
. After any Demand
Registration filed pursuant to this Agreement has become effective, the Company shall use its best
efforts to keep such Demand Registration effective until such time as the Registrable Common Shares
registered thereon have been disposed of pursuant thereto. If the Company shall withdraw any
Demand Registration pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section 2 before any of the Shareholders
Registrable Common Shares covered by the withdrawn Demand Registration are unsold (a Withdrawn
Demand Registration), the Shareholder shall be entitled to a replacement Demand Registration that
(subject to the provisions of this Article 2) the Company shall use its best efforts to keep
effective until such time as the Registrable Common Shares registered thereon has been disposed of pursuant thereto. Such additional Demand Registration
otherwise shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement.
(h)
Other Company Securities
. In no event shall the Company agree to
register Common Shares or any other securities for issuance by the Company or for resale by any
Persons other than the Shareholder in any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 2(b),
without the express written consent of the Shareholder, which consent shall be entirely
discretionary. Shareholder acknowledges that pursuant to the Original Agreement, it has previously
agreed to the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement with
multiple selling shareholders and
agrees that the Additional Shares may be included for resale in an amendment to the Shelf
Registration Statement.
(i)
Conversion to Form S-3
. In the event that at any time a Demand
Registration Statement is in effect and the Company is eligible to register on Form S-3 or any
successor thereto then available, the Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable convert
such registration statement to Form S-3 or such successor form.
3. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS.
(a)
Right to Piggyback
. At any time after the Redemption Date, whenever the Company
proposes to register any of its common equity securities under the Securities Act (other than the

similar successor forms thereto), whether for its own account or for the account of one or more
stockholders of the Company, and the registration form to be used may be used for any registration
of Registrable Common Shares (a Piggyback Registration), the Company shall give prompt written

demand registration rights) to the Holder of its intention to effect such a registration and,
subject to Sections 3(b) and 3(c), shall include in such registration all Registrable Common Shares
of the Shareholder with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion
therein within 20 days after the receipt of the Companys notice. The Company may postpone or
withdraw the filing or the effectiveness of a Piggyback Registration at any time in its sole
discretion.
(b)
Priority on Primary Registrations
. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten
primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in
writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such
registration exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares
of Registrable Common Shares proposed to be included in any such registration would adversely
affect the price per share of the Companys equity securities to be sold in such offering, the
underwriting shall be allocated among the Company and all Holders pro rata on the basis of the
Common Shares and Registrable Common Shares offered for such registration by the Company and each
Holder, respectively, electing to participate in such registration.
(c)
Priority on Secondary Registrations
. If a Piggyback Registration is an
underwritten secondary registration on behalf of a holder of the Companys securities other than
Registrable Common Shares (Non-Holder Securities), and the managing underwriters advise the
Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such
registration exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares
of Registrable Common Shares proposed to be included in any such registration would adversely
affect the price per share of the Companys equity securities to be sold in such offering, the
underwriting shall be allocated among the holders of Non-Holder Securities and all Holders pro rata
on the basis of the Non-Holder Securities and Registrable Common Shares offered for such
registration by the holder of Non-Holder Securities and each Holder, respectively, electing to
participate in such registration.
(d)
Selection of Underwriters
. If any Piggyback Registration is an underwritten
primary offering, the Company shall have the right to select the managing underwriter or
underwriters to administer any such offering.
(e)
Other Registrations
. If the Company has previously filed a Registration Statement
with respect to shares of Registrable Common Shares pursuant to Sections 2 (other than Section
2(a)) or 4 hereof or pursuant to this Section 3, and if such previous registration has not been
withdrawn or abandoned, the Company shall not be obligated to cause to become effective any other
registration of such same shares of Registrable Common Shares or any of its securities under the
Securities Act, whether on its own behalf or at the request of any holder or holders of such
securities.

Days after the date first set forth above) a new registration statement with the SEC on the
appropriate form for the resale pursuant to Rule 415 from time to time by the Shareholder of the
Additional Shares held by the Shareholder (the Additional Shelf Registration Statement, and
together with the Initial Shelf Registration Statement, the Shelf Registration Statement). The
Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement
effective until the earliest to occur of the date on which all of the Registrable Common Shares
cease to be Registrable Common Shares.
(b) If at any time the Company is not eligible to use a Shelf Registration
Statement, a Holder may during such time exercise Demand Registration rights, regardless of any
registration statement filed by the Company under Section 4(a).
(c) A filing pursuant to this Section 4 shall not relieve the Company of any
obligation to effect registration of Registrable Common Shares pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3,
except as provided therein.
5. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES.

subparagraph (d), (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (iii) consent to

an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, and prepare a supplement or amendment to such Prospectus so that such Prospectus
shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;
(f) in the case of an underwritten offering, enter into such customary agreements
together with the Operating Partnership (including underwriting agreements in customary form) and

Company available to participate in, and cause them to cooperate with the underwriters in
connection with, road-show and other customary marketing activities (including one-on-one

underwritten public offering as the underwriters may request and addressed to the underwriters and

securities that can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of Registrable Common Shares
proposed to be included in any such offering would materially adversely affect the price per share
of the Companys equity securities to be sold in such offering, Apollo and the Shareholder shall
include in such offering only the number of Registrable Common Shares that, in the opinion of such
managing underwriters (or registered broker-dealer), can be sold. If the number of shares that can
be sold exceeds the number of Registrable Common Shares proposed to be sold, such excess shall be
allocated pro rata among the holders of Common Shares desiring to participate in such offering
based on the amount of such Common Shares initially requested to be registered by such holders or
as such holders may otherwise agree.
Only Apollo and the Shareholder and their affiliates holding Registrable Common Shares shall
be entitled to participate in any public underwritten offerings pursuant to this Agreement with

(iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the
suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Common Shares for sale under the applicable
securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction;
(v) of the existence of, any fact or the happening of any event that makes any

as such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect
thereof) arise out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact
contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto
or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary

or any amendments or supplements thereto (if the same was required by applicable law to be so
delivered) after the Company has furnished the Shareholder with a sufficient number of copies of
the same. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company shall indemnify such

party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for

reasonable judgment of any indemnified party there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses
available to such indemnified party which are in addition to or may conflict with those available
to another indemnified party with respect to such claim. Failure to give prompt written notice
shall not release the indemnifying party from its obligations hereunder.
(d) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or
any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the
transfer of securities.
(e) If the indemnification provided for in or pursuant to this Section 7 is due in
accordance with the terms hereof, but is held by a court to be unavailable or unenforceable in
respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then each
applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to
the amount paid or payable by such indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the
statements or omissions which result in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party
on the one hand and of the indemnified Person on the other shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
indemnifying party or by the indemnified party, and by such partys relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. In no event
shall the liability of any selling Holder be greater in amount than the amount of net proceeds
received by such Holder upon such sale or the amount for which such indemnifying party would have
been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if the indemnification provided for under Section
7(a) or 7(b) hereof had been available under the circumstances.
(f) In the event that advances are not made pursuant to this Section 8 or payment
has not otherwise been timely made, each indemnified party shall be entitled to seek a final
adjudication in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction of the entitlement of the
indemnified party to indemnification or advances hereunder.
The Company, the Operating Partnership and the Holders agree that they shall be precluded from
asserting that the procedures and presumptions of this Section 7 are not valid, binding and
enforceable. The Company, the Operating Partnership and the Holders further agree to stipulate in
any such court that the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Holders are bound by all the provisions of this
Section 7 and are precluded from making any assertion to the contrary.
To the extent deemed appropriate by the court, interest shall be paid by the indemnifying
party to the indemnified party at a reasonable interest rate for amounts which the indemnifying
party has not timely paid as the result of its indemnification and contribution obligations
hereunder.
In the event that any indemnified party is a party to or intervenes in any proceeding to which
the validity or enforceability of this Section 7 is at issue or seeks an adjudication to enforce
the rights of any indemnified party under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Section 7, the
indemnified party, if the indemnified party prevails in whole in such action, shall be entitled to
recover from the indemnifying party and shall be indemnified by the indemnifying party against, any
expenses incurred by the indemnified party. If it is determined that the indemnified party is
entitled to indemnification for part (but not all) of the indemnification so requested, expenses
incurred in seeking enforcement of such partial indemnification shall be reasonably prorated among
the claims, issues or matters for which the indemnified party is entitled to indemnification and
for such claims, issues or matters for which the indemnified party is not so entitled.
The indemnity agreements contained in this Section 7 shall be in addition to any other rights
(to indemnification, contribution or otherwise) which any indemnified party may have pursuant to
law or
contract and shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made or omitted by or on behalf of any indemnified party and shall survive the
transfer of any Registrable Common Shares by any Holder.
8. PARTICIPATION IN UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS.
No Person may participate in any registration hereunder that is underwritten unless such
Person (a) agrees to sell such Persons securities on the basis provided in any underwriting
arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and
(b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting
agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.
9. RULE 144.
The Company covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder,
and it will take such further action as the Shareholder may reasonably request to make available
adequate current public information with respect to the Company meeting the current public
information requirements of Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act (to the extent such information is
available), to the extent required to enable the Shareholder to sell Registrable Common Shares
without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by
(i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any
similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of the Shareholder, the
Company will deliver to the Shareholder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such
information and requirements.
