Agreement
of Limited

of
SL Green Operating

This Amendment
(this “ Amendment ”) is made as of January 25,
2007 by SL Green Realty Corp., a Maryland corporation, as managing
general partner (the “ Company ” or the “
Managing General Partner ”) of SL Green Operating
Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “
Partnership ”), and as attorney-in-fact for the
Persons named on Exhibit A to the First Amended and Restated
Agreement of Limited Partnership of SL Green Operating Partnership
L.P., dated as of August 20, 1997, as amended from time to
time (the “ Partnership Agreement ”), for the
purpose of amending the Partnership Agreement. Capitalized
terms used herein and not defined shall have the meanings given to
them in the Partnership Agreement.
WHEREAS, Louis R.
Cappelli (“ Cappelli ”) is the holder of 1,200
Series D preferred units of limited partnership (the “
Reckson Units ”) of Reckson Operating Partnership,
L.P.;
WHEREAS, on the
date hereof, the Partnership is entering into an Assignment and
Exchange Agreement (the “ Assignment Agreement
”) with Cappelli pursuant to which Cappelli will assign,
transfer and convey the Reckson Units to the Partnership as a
capital contribution to the Partnership in exchange for a similar
number of preferred Partnership Units;
WHEREAS, the
Managing General Partner has determined that, in connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Assignment Agreement, it is
necessary to amend the Partnership Agreement to create additional
preferred Partnership Units;
NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are
acknowledged, the Managing General Partner hereby amends the
Partnership Agreement as follows:
1. Article 1 of
the Partnership Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following
definitions:
“ Series
F Preferred Units ” means the series of Partnership Units
established pursuant to the Seventh Amendment to this Agreement,
representing units of Limited Partnership Interest designated as
the Series F Preferred Units, with the preferences, rights, voting
powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions,
qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption of units as
described herein.
2. In accordance with
Section 4.02.A of the Partnership Agreement, set forth below
are the terms and conditions of the Series F Preferred Units hereby
established and issued to Cappelli in consideration of
Cappelli’s assigning, transferring and conveying the Reckson
Units to the Partnership:
A.
Designation and Number . A series of Partnership
Units, designated as Series F Preferred Units, is hereby
established. The number of Series F Preferred Units shall be
1,200, all of which shall be issued to Cappelli.
B.
Stated Value . The stated value of the Series F Preferred
Units shall be one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per unit (the
“ Stated Value ”).
C.
Distributions .
(i)
Subject to paragraph (ii) below, commencing from the date of
initial issuance of the Series F Preferred Units (the “
Date of Issuance ”), distributions on each Series F
Preferred Unit shall be payable in arrears quarterly, in an amount
equal to the greater of (a) $17.50 or (b) the quarterly
distribution attributable to each Series F Preferred Unit if such
unit had been converted into the Conversion Consideration (as
hereinafter defined), pursuant to paragraph F hereof, except that
the Preferred Conversion Factor to be utilized for this purpose
shall be calculated using a Conversion Price of $24.78 (subject to
adjustment as provided in paragraph F(iv) hereof) in lieu of the
Conversion Price set forth in paragraph F(ii), subject to a maximum
increase as a result of the provisions of this paragraph (i)(b),
for any one fiscal year of the Partnership, of 5% of the
Distributions on the Series F Preferred Units for the immediately
preceding fiscal year of the Partnership. Subsequent to any
such fiscal year, any increase that would have been made to the
Distribution in such fiscal year, but was not made due to the
foregoing 5% limit, shall be made up to an amount that does not
exceed a 5% increase over the distribution on the Series F
Preferred Units during the immediately preceding fiscal year of the
Partnership. In each fiscal year thereafter, the excess, if
any, over the 5% limit applicable to the immediately preceding
fiscal year shall cumulate with the respective excesses, if any,
over the 5% limit applicable to other fiscal years prior to such
immediately preceding fiscal year and shall be carried forward and
increase the then current Distribution, but in no event shall any
such increase exceed a 5% increase over the Distribution on the
Series F Preferred Units for the immediately preceding fiscal
year. Notwithstanding anything appearing to the contrary in
this paragraph (i), the distribution to be made on Series F
Preferred Units to any holder thereof on the Distribution Payment
Date (as hereinafter defined) immediately following the Date of
Issuance shall be made based upon the number of days during the
period preceding that initial Distribution Payment Date (as
hereinafter defined) that Series F Preferred Units were
outstanding. The distributions shall be declared and payable
quarterly in arrears on or about January 31, April 30, July 31 and
October 31 of each year, or, if not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day, commencing April 30, 2007 (a “
Distribution Payment Date ”). If on any
Distribution Payment Date the Partnership shall not be permitted
under Delaware law to pay all or a portion of any such declared
distributions, the Partnership shall take such action as may be
lawfully permitted in order to enable the Partnership to the extent
permitted by Delaware law, lawfully to pay such
distributions. Distributions shall be cumulative from the
Date of Issuance, whether or not in any distribution period such
distribution shall be declared or there shall be funds of the
Partnership legally available for payment of such
distributions. No distributions shall be declared or paid on
any class of common Partnership Units (“ Common Units
”) or any other class or series of preferred units, other
than distributions declared and paid on the Class A Units, Class B
Units, 7.625% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units
(“ Series C Preferred Units ”), the 7.875%
Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units (“ Series D
Preferred Units ”), 5.0% Series E Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Units (“ Series E Preferred Units ”)
and, subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph H(ii)(b)
below, any other series of Partnership Interests issued by the
Partnership the terms of which specifically provide that such
Partnership Interests are pari passu with the Series F Preferred
Units with respect to payment of distributions and distribution of
assets upon liquidation (such Partnership Interests hereinafter
referred to as “ Qualifying Preferred Units ”),
until all distributions, if any, due and legally payable on the
Series F Preferred Units have been paid to the holders of such
units. The record date for the payment of distributions on
the Series F Preferred Units on any Distribution Payment Date shall
be the day immediately prior to such Distribution Payment
Date.
(ii)
Reduction of Distribution Amount Due to Pre-Payment Premium
. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (i) above, during any
period that the mortgage loan between
2
Cappelli Associates VI
and Huntoon Hastings Capital Corp., dated December 19, 1995 (the
“ Mortgage Loan ”), remains subject to the
prepayment premium or prepayment penalty set forth in Section 1 of
the Addendum to the Mortgage Loan (the “ Pre-Payment
Premium ”), the quarterly Distribution payable on each
Series F Preferred Unit shall be reduced to $15.625 (the “
Reduced Rate ”); provided, however that in no event
shall the Reduced Rate be applicable, or the provisions of this
paragraph (ii) be effective, subsequent to April 1, 2007. If
the Pre-Payment Premium remains payable (or while the Pre-Payment
Premium is treated as continuing as provided in this paragraph (ii)
after having been paid by the Partnership) the Reduced Rate shall
be further reduced so as to result in an annual aggregate reduction
in Distributions in respect of the Series F Preferred Units of
$145,000 per annum from the annual aggregate distributions that
would otherwise have been payable pursuant to paragraph (i)
above. If the Mortgage Loan matures or may be repaid prior to
its maturity without the incurrence of the Pre-Payment Premium, or
if the holder of any Series F Preferred Units deposits with the
Partnership an amount of cash equal to the then current Pre-Payment
Premium upon five (5) days’ notice by such holder to the
Partnership of such holder’s intention to deposit such
amount, then thereafter the Distribution payable in respect of the
Series F Preferred Units shall be as provided in paragraph (i)
above. If the Partnership repays the Mortgage Loan and, in
connection therewith, incurs the Pre-Payment Premium, the reduced
Distribution payable with respect to the Series F Preferred Units
provided for in this paragraph (ii) shall continue in effect as if
the Mortgage Loan remained outstanding subject to the Pre-Payment
Premium until such time as such repaid Mortgage Loan would have
matured (in accordance with its terms as in effect on the date
hereof) or could have been repaid without the incurrence of the
Pre-Payment Premium, or until such time as a holder of Series F
Preferred Units deposits an amount of cash with the Partnership
equal to the Pre-Payment Premium that would have existed at the
time of such deposit had the Mortgage Loan not been repaid by the
Partnership.
D. Allocations .
Allocations of the Partnership’s items of income, gain, loss
and deduction shall be allocated to the holders of Series F
Preferred Units in accordance with Article VI of the
Partnership Agreement.
E. Liquidation
. The Series F Preferred Units shall be preferred as to
assets over any class of Common Units and over any other class of
preferred units of the Partnership, other than the Series C
Preferred Units, the Series D Preferred Units and any other
Qualifying Preferred Units, such that in the event of the voluntary
or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Partnership, the holders of the Series F Preferred Units shall be
entitled to have set apart for them, or to be paid out of the
assets of the Partnership, before any distribution is made to or
set apart for the holders of the Common Units or any other series
of preferred units or any other capital interest heretofore or
hereafter issued, other than the Series C Preferred Units, the
Series D Preferred Units and any other Qualifying Preferred Units
and any other class or series of preferred units, the
authorization, creation and issuance of which shall have been
approved by the requisite percentage of outstanding Series F
Preferred Units, as provided in paragraph H(ii)(b) hereof, an
amount in cash equal to the Stated Value per unit plus any Accrued
Distributions (as defined below) as of such date of payment.
“ Accrued Distributions ” shall mean, as of any
date of determination, an amount equal to the amount of
Distributions, determined at the rate fixed for the payment of
Distributions on the Series F Preferred Units on such date as
provided in paragraph C. hereof, which would be paid on the Series
F Preferred Units for the period of time elapsed from the most
recent actual Distribution Payment Date to the date of
determination (including any amounts cumulating from prior
Distribution periods in accordance with paragraph C hereof).
If the assets or surplus funds to be distributed to the holders of
the Series C Preferred Units, the Series D Preferred Units, the
Series F Preferred Units and any other Qualifying Preferred Units
are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of their
full preferential amount, the assets and surplus funds legally
available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the
holders of the Series F Preferred Units, the Series C Preferred
Units, the Series D Preferred Units and any other Qualifying
Preferred Units in proportion to the respective full preferential
amounts such holders are otherwise entitled to receive.

Consideration .
(i)
The holders of the Series F Preferred Units shall have the right to
convert, at any time, their Series F Preferred Units into that
number of Conversion Units (as defined below) determined in
accordance with paragraph (ii) below. Each Conversion Unit

Company Common Stock, plus (b) $31.68 in cash, plus (c) a prorated
dividend in the amount of $0.0977 in cash, all without interest
