A. The Grantor owns a limited partner interest in Tower 45 Associates
Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the "PARTNERSHIP").
B. The Operating Partnership desires to acquire through a contribution
to capital from the Grantor, and the Grantor desires to grant to the Operating
Partnership, an option to acquire, on the terms and conditions set forth herein,
all interests owned by the Grantor in the Partnership as set forth on Schedule A
attached hereto and any other direct or indirect interests the Grantor may have,
whether now owned or hereinafter acquired, in the Partnership, or in the

C. The Operating Partnership desires to acquire the Interests in
connection with (i) the formation of Tower Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland
corporation (the "COMPANY"), which intends to qualify as a real estate
investment trust and which is the sole general partner and a limited partner of
the Operating Partnership, and (ii) the proposed initial public offering (the
"IPO") and concurrent private placement (collectively, "OFFERINGS") of shares of
the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("COMMON STOCK").
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of ten dollars ($10.00) paid by the
Operating Partnership to the Grantor, these premises, the mutual covenants and
conditions set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Operating
Partnership and Grantor agree as follows:
ARTICLE I: THE OPTION
1.1 Grant of Option. The Grantor hereby irrevocably grants to the
Operating Partnership the right and option (the "OPTION") to acquire through a
contribution to the capital of the Operating Partnership all the Grantor's
right, title and interest in the Interests, including but not limited to, the
Interest set forth on Schedule A attached hereto, on the terms and conditions
set forth herein.
1.2 Term and Exercise of Option. The Option may be exercised by the
Operating Partnership at any time from and after the date hereof through 5:00
p.m. on December 31, 1997 (the "OPTION TERMINATION DATE"); provided, that if on

subject to a stay, order, injunction, or similar limitation or any pending or
threatened action or proceeding to enjoin, restrain, prohibit or assess
substantial damages in respect of the exercise by the Operating Partnership of
the Option, then the Option may be exercised by the Operating Partnership during
the 10 business day period commencing on the first business day following the
removal of each such prohibition, stay, order, injunction, action, proceeding or
similar limitation in effect at that time. Subject to the foregoing, if the

is actually being made(provided, that, in no event shall the
Acquisition Consideration, as adjusted hereunder, consist of less than
one OP Unit), which adjustment shall be determined in the Operating

declaration of trust, as applicable, or, to the knowledge of
such counsel, any indenture, deed of trust, mortgage, loan or
credit agreement or other material agreement or instrument to

required to be withheld pursuant to FIRPTA (and the amount so withheld shall be
paid by the Operating Partnership to the Internal Revenue Service, in order for
the Operating Partnership to comply with the provisions of Section 1445 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or successor similar legislation, as the same may
be amended hereafter).
(e) The Lock-up Agreements, a duly executed signature page to the

its partnership documentation.
2.4 Cessation of Offerings. If at any time the Board of Directors of
the Company determines in good faith to abandon the formation of the Company or

Partnership fails to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (including
a failure due to the Offerings Closing not having occurred), then the Operating
Partnership will pay to the Grantor the sum of $100.00 as liquidated and agreed
upon damages. The parties acknowledge that it would be difficult, if not
impossible, to ascertain the actual measure of the Grantor's damages in the
event of the Operating Partnership's default and the parties agree that $100.00
is a fair reflection of the Grantor's damages in such event.
(b) If the Grantor defaults with respect to its obligations under this
Agreement, the Operating Partnership shall be entitled to exercise against the
Grantor any and all remedies provided at law or in equity, including but not
limited to, the right of specific performance.

dissolved or liquidated, or if any other such event or events shall
occur before the completion of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, each Attorney-in-Fact shall nevertheless be authorized and
directed to complete all such transactions as if
12
13
such death, disability, incapacity, dissolution, liquidation or other
event or events had not occurred and regardless of notice thereof.

Partnership, it will promptly execute a separate power of attorney on the same
terms set forth in this Article V, such execution to be witnessed and notarized.

omitted or for any mistake of fact or law except for its own gross negligence or
bad faith.

hold each Attorney-in-Fact harmless against any loss, claim, damage or liability
incurred or in part arising out of or in connection with its acting as
Attorney-in-Fact under the Power of Attorney created by the Grantor hereby, as
well as the cost and expense of investigating and defending against any such
loss, claim, damage or liability, except to the extent such loss, claim, damage
or liability is due to the gross negligence or bad faith of such
Attorney-in-Fact.
(d) The Grantor agrees that each Attorney-in-Fact may consult with
counsel of its own choice (who may be counsel for the Operating Partnership
and/or the Company) and it shall have full and complete authorization and
protection for any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in
accordance with the opinion of such counsel.

and confirm all that any Attorney-in- Fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done

ARTICLE VI: MISCELLANEOUS
6.1 Amendment and Waiver. Any amendment hereto shall be effective only
against those parties hereto who have acknowledged in writing their consent to
such amendment. This Agreement shall not be amended without notice to or the
consent of any Grantor for the purpose of adding additional Grantors as parties
hereto or deleting Grantors as parties hereto and conforming Exhibits A and B in
connection with such additions or deletions. No waiver of any provisions of this
Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the party against whom

effect to the conflicts of law provisions thereof.
6.3 Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be

respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns; provided,
however, that this Agreement may not be assigned (except by operation of law) by
the Operating Partnership without the prior written consent of the Grantor, or
by the Grantor without the prior written consent of the Operating Partnership,
and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void and of no
effect; provided, further, however, that the Operating Partnership may assign

(b) The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable
provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will

the void or unenforceable provision and to execute any amendment, consent or
agreement deemed necessary or desirable by the Operating Partnership to effect
such replacement.
