Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) In March 2003, Reckson Associates Realty Corp. (the "Company") granted to the registrant shares of restricted stock pursuant to the Company's 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2003 LTIP"), which shares were subject to time and performance-based vesting. Pursuant to an amendment to the 2003 LTIP, the registrant is substituting the unvested portion of these shares for an equal number of a new class of limited partnership interests of Reckson Operating Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"). (See footnote 3.)
(2) N/A.
(3) These profits interest units of limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership were granted on December 27, 2004 in substitution of an equal number of shares of restricted stock that were granted originally pursuant to the Company's 2003 LTIP and that were relinquished in exchange for the LTIP Units. The LTIP Units are subject to time and performance-based vesting identical to those that were applicable to the shares of restricted stock. (See footnote 1.)
(4) Subject to achieving minimum allocations to the capitl accounts of the LTIP Units for federal income tax purposes, (i) the registrant may request that the Operating Partnership redeem vested LTIP Units for cash equal to the then fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock beginning upon the later of January 1, 2006 or six months after the LTIP Units being redeemed have become vested, or (ii) if the Company's Compensation Committee elects to make this alternative available, the registrant may convert vested LTIP Units into an equal number of common units of limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership beginning on January 1, 2006 on a one-for-one basis. (Continued in footnote 5.)
(5) The registrant may then request that the Operating Partnership redeem the common units into which the vested LTIP Units have been converted for cash in an amount equal to the then fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock or, at the election of the Company, for shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis.
(6) The LTIP Units do not have an expiration date. December 31, 2095 is the current termination date of the Operating Partnership.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
