R E C I T A L S:
A. The Grantors own limited partner interests 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 Grantors, and the Grantors desire to grant to the Operating
Partnership, an option to acquire, on the terms and conditions set forth herein,
all interests owned by the Grantors in the Partnership as set forth on Schedule
A attached hereto and any other direct or indirect interests the Grantors may
have, whether now owned or hereinafter acquired, in the Partnership, or in the
properties owned by the Partnership (collectively, the "INTERESTS").
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 Grantors, 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 Grantors agree as follows:
ARTICLE I: THE OPTION
1.1 Grant of Option. The Grantors hereby irrevocably grant to the
Operating Partnership the right and option (the "OPTION") to acquire through a
contribution to the capital of the Operating Partnership all the Grantors'
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
the Option Termination Date the Operating Partnership or the Grantors are
prohibited by applicable law, or the Operating Partnership or the Grantors are
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
Operating Partnership does not exercise the Option by the Option Termination

(b) The Closing will occur simultaneously with the closing of the
Offerings (the "OFFERINGS CLOSING"); provided, that the Offerings Closing shall

Assignment as defined in and delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(a) a
breach of or other exception with respect to any of the
representations, warranties or covenants contained in Article III or
have otherwise breached this Agreement, or
(ii) in the event that all authorizations, consents or

election and direct the Escrow Agent to return the Grantors' Closing
Documents to the Grantors, or

respect to the Grantors pursuant to clause (c)(i) above to reflect the
portion of the Grantors' Interests with respect to which the purchase
is actually
3
4
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

requirements of the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act ("FIRPTA"), as
amended, provided, however, that if any Grantor fails to provide such an
affidavit, the Operating Partnership shall be entitled to withhold from the

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

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

and thereupon all parties hereto will be relieved of all obligations under this

the Interests pursuant to the exercise by the Operating Partnership of the
Option.
2.6 Default. (a) If after having exercised the Option, the Operating
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 Grantors 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 Grantors' damages in the
event of the Operating Partnership's default and the parties agree that $100.00
is a fair reflection of the Grantors' damages in such event.

events had not occurred and regardless of notice thereof.

Partnership, they will promptly execute separate powers 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.
(c) The Grantors agree to indemnify each Attorney-in-Fact for and to
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 Grantors 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 Grantors agree 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.
5.3 Ratification; Third Party Reliance. The Grantors do hereby ratify
and confirm all that any Attorney-in-Fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done
