Second Supplemental Indenture related to 4.50% Senior Notes due 2022

On November 15, 2012, SL Green Realty Corp. (the “Company”), SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. (“SL Green OP”) and Reckson Operating Partnership, L.P. (“Reckson”), as co-obligors (collectively, the “Co-Obligors”), issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”) in a public offering pursuant to the Co-Obligors’ Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-163914) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), as amended.  Net proceeds from the offering of the Notes, after underwriting discounts and the Co-Obligors’ estimated fees and expenses, are expected to be approximately $197.7 million.  The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of August 5, 2011 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Co-Obligors and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended by the second supplemental indenture (the “Second Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), dated as of November 15, 2012, among the Co-Obligors and the Trustee and the related 4.50% Senior Note due 2022 (the “4.50% Note”) of the Co-Obligors.  Reckson is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company’s operating partnership, SL Green OP.  The description of the Indenture and the related form of 4.50% Note contained in this report is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Base Indenture, the Second Supplemental Indenture and the form of 4.50% Note.  The Base Indenture was previously filed with the Commission as Exhibit 4.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Co-Obligors on August 5, 2011.  Copies of the Second Supplemental Indenture and the 4.50% Note are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this report and are incorporated herein by reference.

The Notes mature on December 1, 2022.  The Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.50% per annum, computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1, 2013.

The Notes are the unsecured unsubordinated obligations of the Co-Obligors and rank equally with each entity’s existing and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness.  The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of Reckson and its subsidiaries’ to incur additional indebtedness and encumber assets.  These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions.  The Company and SL Green OP are not subject to such restrictions.

The Co-Obligors have the option to redeem all or a part of the Notes, at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date.  If the Notes are redeemed on or after September 1, 2022, the redemption price for the Notes will equal 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued interest thereon to the redemption date.

The Indenture provides for customary events of default.  In the case of an event of default arising from specified events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice.  If any other event of default under the Indenture occurs or is continuing, the Trustee or holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.

On November 9, 2012, the Co-Obligors entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representative of the underwriters listed therein, relating to the sale by the Co-Obligors of $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes.

(b)                                 The Co-Obligors understand that the Underwriters intend to make a public offering of the Notes as soon after the effectiveness of this Agreement as in the judgment of the Representative is advisable, and initially to offer the Notes on the terms set forth in the Prospectus. The Co-Obligors acknowledge and agree that the Underwriters may offer and sell the Notes to or through any affiliate of an Underwriter and that any such affiliate may offer and sell the Notes purchased by it to or through any Underwriter.

(c)                                  Delivery of and payment for the Notes shall be made at the office of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, Four Times Square, New York, New York 10036, at 9:00 A.M., local time, on November 15, 2012, or at such other date or place as shall be determined by agreement between the Representative and the Co-Obligors. This date and time are sometimes referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”  On the Closing Date, the Co-Obligors shall deliver or cause to be delivered certificates representing the Notes to the Representative against payment of the purchase price by wire transfer of same-day funds.  The certificates for the Notes shall be in such denominations and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of the Depositary, pursuant to the DTC Agreement, and shall be made available for inspection not less than one full business day prior to the Closing Date at a location in New York, New York as the Representative may designate.  Time shall be of the essence, and delivery at the time and place specified pursuant to this Agreement is a further condition of the obligation of the Underwriters hereunder.

It is understood that each Underwriter has authorized the Representative, for its account, to accept delivery of, receipt for, and make payment of the purchase price for, the Notes it has agreed to purchase.  Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, individually and not as representatives of the Underwriters, may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment of the purchase price for the Notes, to be purchased by any Underwriter whose funds have not been received by the Closing Date, but such payment shall not relieve such Underwriter from its obligations hereunder.

3.                                      Further Agreements of the Co-Obligors.  Each of the Co-Obligors hereby agrees, jointly and severally, that:

(a)                                 The Company will file the final Prospectus with the Commission within the time periods specified by Rule 424(b) and Rule 430A, 430B or 430C under the Securities Act, will file any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to the extent required by Rule 433 under the Securities Act; and will file promptly all reports and any definitive proxy or information statements required to

be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the date of the Prospectus Supplement and for so long as the delivery of a prospectus is required in connection with the offering or sale of the Notes; and the Company will furnish copies of the Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (to the extent not previously delivered) to the Representative in New York City prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the business day next succeeding the date of this Agreement in such quantities as the Representative may reasonably request.

(b)                                 The Company will pay the registration fees for this offering within the time period required by Rule 456(b)(1)(i) under the Securities Act (without giving effect to the proviso therein) and in any event prior to the Closing Date.

(c)                                  Before making, preparing, using, authorizing, approving or distributing any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Co-Obligors will furnish to the Underwriters and counsel to the Underwriters a copy of the proposed Issuer Free Writing Prospectus for review and will not make, prepare, use, authorize, approve or distribute any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to which the Underwriters reasonably object. Without the prior written consent of the Underwriters, none of the Co-Obligors have given, and none of the Co-Obligors will give, to any prospective purchaser of the Notes any written information concerning the offering of the Notes other than materials contained in, or incorporated by reference into, the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any other offering materials prepared by or with the prior written consent of the Representative.

(d)                                 The Co-Obligors will furnish to the Representative and to counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, (A) a conformed copy of the Registration Statement as originally filed and each amendment thereto, in each case including all exhibits and consents filed therewith and (B) during the Prospectus Delivery Period (as defined below), as many copies of the Prospectus (including all amendments and supplements thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein) and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as the Representative may reasonably request; the aforementioned documents furnished to the Representative will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T. As used herein, the term “Prospectus Delivery Period” means such period of time after the first date of the public offering of the Notes as in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters a prospectus relating to the Notes is required by law to be delivered (or required to be delivered but for Rule 172 under the Securities Act) in connection with sales of the Notes by any Underwriter or dealer.

(e)                                  The Co-Obligors will not amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, other than by filing documents under the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference therein, without the prior written consent of the Representative, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that prior to the completion of the distribution of the Notes by the Underwriters (as determined by the Representative), the Co-Obligors will not file any document under the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus unless, prior to such proposed filing, the Co-Obligors have furnished each Representative with a copy of such document for their review and each Representative has not reasonably objected to the filing of such document.  The Co-Obligors will promptly advise the Representative when any document filed under the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall have been filed with the Commission.

(f)                                   During the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Company will advise the Representative promptly, and confirm such advice in writing, (i) when any amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed or becomes effective; (ii) when any supplement to the Prospectus or any amendment to the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus has been filed; (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or the receipt of any comments from the Commission relating to the Registration Statement or any other request by the Commission for any additional information; (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectus or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act; (v) of the occurrence of any event within the Prospectus Delivery Period as a result of which the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Prospectus or any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading; (vi) of the receipt by the Company of any notice of objection of the Commission to the use of any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act; and (vii) of the receipt by the Company of any notice with respect to any suspension of the qualification of the Notes for offer and sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectus or suspending any such qualification of the Notes and, if any such order is issued, will obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

(g)                                  If at any time prior to the completion of the sale of the Notes by each Underwriter (as determined by the Representative), any event occurs as a result of which the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or if it should be necessary to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus to comply with applicable law, the Co-Obligors will promptly (i) notify the Underwriters of any such event so that any use of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus may cease until it is amended or supplemented; (ii) subject to the requirements of Section 3(c), prepare an amendment or supplement that will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance; and (iii) supply any supplemented or amended Registration Statement or the Prospectus to each Underwriter and counsel for the Underwriters without charge in such quantities as they may reasonably request.

(h)                                 The Co-Obligors will arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Notes for sale by the Underwriters under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative may designate and will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the sale of the Notes; provided that in no event shall any Co-Obligor be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the Notes, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.  A Co-Obligor will promptly advise the Representative of the receipt by a Co-Obligor of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Notes for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

(i)                                     The Company will make generally available to its security holders and the Underwriters as soon as reasonably practicable an earning statement that satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 of the Commission promulgated thereunder covering a period of at least twelve months beginning with the first fiscal quarter of the Company occurring after the “effective date” (as defined in Rule 158) of the Registration Statement.

(j)                                    Each of the Co-Obligors will cooperate with the Representative and use its best efforts to permit the Notes to be eligible for clearance and settlement through the Depositary.

(k)                                 The Co-Obligors will comply with all applicable securities and other laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and use their best efforts to cause their directors and officers, in their capacities as such, to comply with such laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

(l)                                     Intentionally Omitted.

(m)                             For a period of five years following the Closing Date, the relevant Co-Obligors will furnish to the Representative, upon request, copies of all materials furnished by Reckson OP and SLG OP to their respective partners or by the Company to its stockholders and all public reports and all reports and financial statements furnished by Reckson OP, SLG OP or the Company to the principal national securities exchange upon which the Notes may be listed pursuant to requirements of or agreements with such exchange or to the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act or any rule or regulation of the Commission thereunder, unless filed with the Commission and publicly available on EDGAR.

(n)                                 To take such steps as shall be necessary to ensure that none of the Co-Obligors shall become an “investment company” within the meaning of such term under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

(o)                                 The Company will use its best efforts to continue to meet the requirements to qualify as a REIT under the Code.

(p)                                 Except for the authorization of actions permitted to be taken by the Representative as contemplated herein or in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, none of the Co-Obligors will (a) take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in, or that might reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Co-Obligors to facilitate the sale or resale of the Notes, and (b) until the Closing Date, (i) sell, bid for or purchase the Notes or pay any person any compensation for soliciting purchases of the Notes or (ii) pay or agree to pay to any person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the Co-Obligors, except, in the case of clause (ii), pursuant to the At-the-Market Equity Offering Sales Agreement, dated July 27, 2011, between the Company, SLG OP and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and the At-the-Market Equity Offering Sales Agreement, dated July 27, 2011, between the Company, SLG OP and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC.

(q)                                 Prior to the Closing Date, the Co-Obligors will not, without the prior written consent of each of the Representative (which consent may be withheld at the sole discretion of each Representative), directly or indirectly, sell, offer, contract or grant any option to sell, pledge, transfer or establish an open “put equivalent position” within the meaning of Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or announce the offering of, or file any registration statement under the Securities Act in respect of, any debt securities of the Co-Obligors or securities exchangeable for or convertible into debt securities of the Company (other than as contemplated by this Agreement).

(r)                                    The Co-Obligors will, pursuant to reasonable procedures developed in good faith, retain copies of each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is not filed with the Commission in accordance with Rule 433 under the Securities Act.

4.                                      Expenses.  The Co-Obligors jointly and severally agree to pay (a) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale and delivery of the Notes and any taxes payable in that connection; (b) the costs incident to the preparation, and delivery of this Agreement, the Indenture and any other related documents in connection with the offering, purchase, issuance, sale and delivery of the Notes; (c)  the costs incident to the preparation, printing, filing and distribution of the materials contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and each amendment or supplement to either of them, as may, in each case, be reasonably requested for use in connection with the offering and sale of the Notes; (d) the filing fees, if any, incident to securing any required review by FINRA of the terms of sale of the issuance; (e) any applicable listing fees; (f) the fees and expenses of qualifying the Notes under the securities laws of the several jurisdictions as provided in Section 3(h) and of preparing, printing and distributing a Blue Sky Memorandum (including related reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Underwriters); (g) the costs of preparing certificates for the issuance; (h) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Co-Obligors under this Agreement; (i) the costs and charges of any trustee, transfer agent and registrar; (j) any expenses incurred by the Co-Obligors in connection with a “road show” presentation to potential investors, if any; and (k) the fees and disbursements of the Company’s counsel and accountants; provided that, except as expressly provided in this Section 4, Section 8 and Section 10, the Underwriters shall pay their own costs and expenses, including the costs and expenses of their counsel, and any transfer taxes on the Notes which they may sell and the expenses of advertising any offering of the Notes made by the Underwriters.

5.                                      Certain Agreements of the Underwriters.  Each Underwriter hereby represents and agrees that:

(a)                                 It has not used, authorized use of, referred to or participated in the planning for use of, and will not use, authorize use of, refer to, or participate in the planning for use of, any “free writing prospectus”, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act (which term includes use of any written information furnished to the Commission by the Co-Obligors and not incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and any press release issued by the Co-Obligors) other than (i) a free writing prospectus that, solely as a result of use by such underwriter, would not trigger an obligation to file such free writing prospectus with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433, (ii) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus prepared pursuant to Section 1(c) or Section 3(c) above (including any electronic road show), or (iii) any free writing prospectus prepared by such underwriter and approved by the Co-Obligors in advance in writing (each such free writing prospectus referred to in clauses (i) or (iii), an “Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus”).

(b)                                 It is not subject to any pending proceeding under Section 8A of the Securities Act with respect to the offering (and will promptly notify the Co-Obligors if any such proceeding against it is initiated during the Prospectus Delivery Period).

6.                                      Conditions of Underwriters’ Obligations.  The obligations of the several Underwriters hereunder are subject to the accuracy, when made and on the Closing Date, of the representations and warranties of the Co-Obligors contained herein, to the accuracy of the statements of the Co-Obligors and their Subsidiaries made in any certificates delivered pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by each Co-Obligor of its obligations hereunder, and to each of the following additional terms and conditions:

(a)                                 No order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall be in effect, and no proceeding for such purpose, pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) or pursuant to Section 8A under the Securities Act shall be pending before or threatened by the Commission; the Prospectus Supplement and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus shall have been timely filed with the Commission under the Securities Act (in the case of a Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, to the extent required by Rule 433 under the Securities Act) and in accordance with Section 3(a) hereof.

(b)                                 Subsequent to the effective date of this Agreement, there shall not have occurred (i) any material adverse change in or affecting any of the Properties or in the condition, financial or otherwise, business, prospects, operations, management, consolidated financial position, net worth, stockholders’ equity or results of operations, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, of the Co-Obligors, their Subsidiaries and the Joint Venture Entities considered as one enterprise or on the

use or value of the Properties as a whole, (ii) any change or decrease specified in the bring-down letter referred to in paragraph (h) of this Section 6 which is, in the judgment of the Representative, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Notes as contemplated by the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, (iii) any downgrading, or any notice have been given of any intended or potential downgrading or of any review for a possible change that does not indicate the direction of the possible change, in the rating accorded any securities of the Co-Obligors or any of their Subsidiaries by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(f) under the Exchange Act, or (iv) any event or development relating to or involving any of the Co-Obligors, their Subsidiaries, the Joint Venture Entities, or any partner, officer, director or trustee thereof, which makes any statement of a material fact made in the Prospectus untrue or which, in the opinion of the Co-Obligors and their counsel or the Representative and counsel to the Underwriters, requires the making of any addition to or change in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order to state a material fact required by the Securities Act or any other law to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, if amending or supplementing the Registration Statement or the Prospectus to reflect such event or development would, in the opinion of the Representative, adversely affect the market for the Notes.

(c)                                  All corporate proceedings and other legal matters incident to the authorization, form and validity of this Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and all other legal matters relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel all documents and information that they may reasonably request to enable them to pass upon such matters.

iii.                                    Each of Reckson OP and Wyoming has at all times been classified as either a (1) a partnership and not as (a) an association taxable as a corporation or (b) a “publicly traded partnership” taxable as a corporation under Section 7704(a) of the Code or (2) as an entity disregarded as an entity separate from SLG OP under Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-3

(a)                                 The Co-Obligors, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, as amended or supplemented or any amendment or supplement thereto, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading, or (ii) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as amended or supplemented or any amendment or supplement thereto, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; and will reimburse such Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that none of the Co-Obligors shall be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as amended or supplemented or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Co-Obligors by the Representative expressly for use therein, which information is set forth in Exhibit A hereto.

(b)                                 Each Underwriter severally, and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless each of the Co-Obligors against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Co-Obligor may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, as amended or supplemented, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as amended or supplemented or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as amended or supplemented, or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to such Co-Obligor by the Representative expressly for use therein, which information is set forth in Exhibit A hereto; and severally, and not jointly, will reimburse the Co-Obligors for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Co-Obligors in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

(c)                                  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under such subsection except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure.  In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal or other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.  Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party.  No indemnifying party

shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include any statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d)                                 If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party in respect of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto), contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Co-Obligors on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Notes to which such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) relates.  If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Co-Obligors on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative benefits received by the Co-Obligors on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from such offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Co-Obligors bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on in the table on the cover of the Prospectus.  The relative fault shall be determined by reference, 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 Co-Obligors on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The Co-Obligors and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d).  The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), the Underwriters shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the applicable Notes underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  The indemnifying party shall not be required to indemnify the indemnified party for any amount paid or payable by the indemnified party in the settlement of any action, proceeding or investigation without the written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 8 hereof, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

(e)                                  The obligations of the Co-Obligors under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the Co-Obligors may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls each Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act; and the obligations of each Underwriter under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which such Underwriter may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Co-Obligors and to each person, if any, who controls the Co-Obligors within the meaning of the Securities Act.

9.                                      Termination.  The obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be terminated by notice from the Underwriters given to and received by the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Notes if, prior to that time, any of the following events shall have occurred or if the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the Notes for any reason permitted under this Agreement:

(a) (i) Any of the Co-Obligors or any Property shall have sustained, since the date of the latest financial statements included in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental

action, order or decree, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus or (ii) since the date of the latest financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus there shall have been any change in the capital stock or long-term debt of any Co-Obligor or any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting any Property or the general affairs, management, financial position, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of any Co-Obligor, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, the effect of which, in any such case described in clause (i) or (ii), is, in the judgment of the Representative, so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or the delivery of the Notes being delivered on the Closing Date on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus;

(b)                                 Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement there shall have occurred any of the following: (i) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange or in the over-the-counter market, or trading in any securities of the Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market, shall have been suspended or minimum or maximum prices shall have been established on any such exchange or such market by the Commission, FINRA or such exchange or by any other regulatory body or governmental authority having jurisdiction, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by Federal or New York state authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States has occurred, (iii) the United States shall have become engaged in hostilities, there shall have been an escalation in hostilities involving the United States or there shall have been a declaration of a national emergency or war by the United States, or (iv) there shall have occurred any other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective substantial change in general economic, political or financial conditions (or the effect of international conditions on the financial markets in the United States shall be such) as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representative impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or the delivery of the Notes being delivered on the Closing Date on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus; or

(c)                                  The Co-Obligors shall have failed at or prior to the Closing Date to have performed or complied with any of their agreements herein contained and required to be performed or complied with by them hereunder at or prior to the Closing Date.

10.                               Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If (a) the Co-Obligors shall fail to tender the Notes for delivery to the Representative by reason of any failure, refusal or inability on the part of the Co-Obligors to perform any agreement on their part to be performed, or because any condition specified in Sections 5, 9(a) or (c) hereof required to be fulfilled by the Co-Obligors is not fulfilled, the Co-Obligors will reimburse the Representative for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Representative in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Notes, and upon demand the Co-Obligors shall pay the full amount thereof to the Representative.

11.                               No Fiduciary Obligation.  The Co-Obligors acknowledge and agree that in connection with this offering, sale of the Notes or any other services the Underwriters may be deemed to be providing hereunder, notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently made by the Underwriters:  (i) no fiduciary or agency relationship between the Co-Obligors and any other person, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, exists with respect to the offering of the Notes or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) the Underwriters are not acting as advisor, expert or otherwise, to the Co-Obligors including, without limitation, with respect to the determination of the offering price of the Notes, and such relationship between the Co-Obligors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other with respect to the offering of the Notes or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, is entirely and solely commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (iii) any duties and obligations that the Underwriters may have to the Co-Obligors shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; and (iv) the Underwriters and its affiliates may have interests that differ from those of the Co-Obligors.  The Co-Obligors hereby waive any claims that the Co-Obligors may have against the Underwriters with respect to any breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Notes or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

12.                               Research Analyst Independence. The Co-Obligors acknowledge that the Underwriters’ research analysts and research departments are required to be independent from its investment banking divisions and are subject to certain regulations and internal policies, and that such Underwriters’ research analysts may hold views and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with respect to the Co-Obligors and/or the offering of the Notes that differ from the views of their investment banking divisions.  The Co-Obligors hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Co-Obligors may have against the Underwriters with respect to any conflict of interest that may arise from the fact that the views expressed by their independent research analysts and research departments may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Co-Obligors by such Underwriters’ investment banking divisions.  The Co-Obligors acknowledge that each Underwriter is a full service securities firm and as such from time to time, subject to applicable securities laws, may effect

transactions for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short positions in debt or equity securities of the companies which may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

13.                               Default by One or More of the Underwriters.  If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail at the Closing Date to purchase the Notes which it or they are obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the “Defaulted Notes”), the Representative shall have the right, within 36 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Notes in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Representative shall not have completed such arrangements within such 36-hour period, then:

(i)                                     if the number of Defaulted Notes does not exceed 10% of the number of Notes to be purchased on such date, each of the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters, or

(ii)                                  if the number of Defaulted Notes exceeds 10% of the number of Notes to be purchased on such date, this Agreement, the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriters.

No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve any defaulting Underwriters from liability in respect of its default.

In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement, which does not result in a termination of the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase, either the Underwriters or the Co-Obligors shall have the right to postpone Closing Date for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements.

14.                               Notices, etc.  All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and:

Section 3.2                                    Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.

With respect to the Notes only (and not any other series of Securities issued pursuant to the Base Indenture), Section 12.03 of the Base Indenture is replaced in its entirety with the following:

(1)                                 The Co-Obligors may at their option by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to the Notes, elect to have Section 3.2(2) or Section 3.2(3) be applied to such Outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Section 3.2.

(2)                                 Upon the Co-Obligors’ exercise of the option provided for in this Section 3.2(2) with respect to the Notes, the Co-Obligors shall be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to such Outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth in clause (4) of this Section 3.2 are satisfied (hereinafter, “defeasance”).  For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Co-Obligors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by such Outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of clause (5) of this Section 3.2 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Co-Obligors, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Notes, solely from the fund described in clause (4) of this Section 3.2 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due, and any rights of such Holder to exchange such Notes into other securities, (ii) the obligations of the Co-Obligors and the Trustee with respect to such Notes under Sections 3.01, 3.06, 3.07, 6.01 and 6.03 of the Base Indenture, (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and under the Base Indenture and (iv) this Section 3.2.  The Co-Obligors may exercise their option under this Section 3.2(2) notwithstanding the prior exercise of their option under clause (3) of this Section 3.2 with respect to such Notes.

(3)                                 Upon the Co-Obligors’ exercise of the option provided for in this Section 3.2(3) with respect to the Notes, the Co-Obligors shall be released from their obligations under Sections 5.1 to 5.3, inclusive, and Section 6.05 to 6.08 of the Base Indenture, inclusive, with respect to such Outstanding Notes, on and after the date the conditions set forth in clause (4) of this Section 3.2 are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), and such Notes shall thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with any such covenant, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder.  For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to such Outstanding Notes, the Co-Obligors may omit to comply with, and shall have no liability in respect of, any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section or such other covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or such other covenant or by reason of reference in any such Section or such other covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a default or an Event of Default under Section 4.1(3) or otherwise, as the case may be, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby.

(4)                                 The following shall be the conditions to application of clause (2) or (3) of this Section 3.2 to any Outstanding Notes in respect thereof:

(b)                                 Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Co-Obligors are a party or by which any of them is bound.

(c)                                  No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default with respect to such Notes shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a default resulting from the borrowing of funds and the grant of the related liens to be applied to such deposit).

(d)                                 In the case of an election under clause (2) of this Section 3.2, the Co-Obligors shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) such Co-Obligor has received from the Internal Revenue Service a letter ruling, or there has been published by the Internal Revenue Service a Revenue Ruling, or (ii) there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the beneficial owners of such Outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred.

(f)                                   The Co-Obligors shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance or covenant defeasance under clause (2) or (3) of this Section 3.2 (as the case may be) and clause (4) of this Section 3.2 have been complied with.

(5)                                 Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 12.06 of the Base Indenture, all money and Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 3.2(5), the “Trustee”) pursuant to clause (4) of

The Co-Obligors shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge, imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to this Section 3.2 or the principal or interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of such Outstanding Notes.

Anything in this Section 3.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Co-Obligors from time to time upon request any money or Government Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in clause (4) of this Section 3.2 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect a defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 3.2.

TRUSTEE’S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION

This is one of the Notes of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

[REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]

4.50% Senior Notes due 2022

Indenture.  This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Co-Obligors, issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of August 5, 2011, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 5, 2011, and a Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 15, 2012 (as so supplemented, herein called the “Indenture”), between the Co-Obligors and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto relating to the Notes reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Co-Obligors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.  This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $200,000,000. Under a Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate pursuant to Board Resolutions or a supplemental indenture, the Co-Obligors may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of Notes, issue additional Notes (in any such case “Additional Notes”) having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes. Any Additional Notes and the Initial Notes will constitute a single series under the Indenture and all references to the relevant Notes herein shall include the Additional Notes unless the context otherwise requires.

Optional Redemption.  The Notes are subject to redemption at the Co-Obligors’ option, at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, at a Redemption Price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, (ii) unpaid interest accrued thereon to the redemption date and (iii) the Make-Whole Amount (as defined below), if any, with respect to such Notes. If the Notes are redeemed on or after September 1, 2022 (60 days prior to the maturity date of the Notes), the redemption price for the Notes will equal 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus unpaid accrued interest thereon to the redemption date.

For purposes of determining the optional redemption price, the following definitions are applicable:

“Make-Whole Amount” means, in connection with any optional redemption, the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate present value as of the date of such redemption of each dollar of principal being redeemed and the amount of interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) that would have been payable in respect of each such dollar if such redemption had not been made, determined by discounting, on a semi-annual basis, such principal and interest at the Reinvestment Rate (determined on the third business day in The City of New York preceding the date such notice of redemption is given) from the respective dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable if such redemption had not been made, to the date of such redemption over (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being redeemed. The Co-Obligors shall be solely responsible for calculating the Make-Whole Amount.

“Reinvestment Rate” means 0.45% plus the arithmetic mean of the yields under the heading “Week Ending” published in the most recent Statistical Release under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities” for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month) corresponding to the remaining life to maturity, as of the redemption date, of the principal being redeemed. If no maturity exactly corresponds to such maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to such maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and the Reinvestment Rate shall be

interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding each of such relevant periods to the nearest month. For the purpose of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the Make-Whole Amount shall be used.

“Statistical Release” means the statistical release designated “H.15 (519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States government securities adjusted to constant maturities or, if such statistical release is not published at the time of any determination under the Indenture, then such other reasonably comparable index designated by the Co-Obligors.

Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) to each registered Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Unless the Co-Obligors default in payment of the redemption price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions of the Notes called for redemption.  If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Outstanding Notes shall be redeemed on a pro rata basis.

Except as set forth above, the Notes will not be redeemable by the Co-Obligors prior to maturity and will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

Defaults and Remedies.  If an Event of Default with respect to Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

Amendment, Modification and Waiver.  The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the respective Co-Obligors and the rights of the Holders of the Notes of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the applicable Co-Obligors and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected.  The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes of such series, to waive compliance by the Co-Obligors with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

Denominations, Transfer and Exchange.  The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registerable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the Registrar accompanied by a written request for transfer in form satisfactory to the Co-Obligors and the Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Co-Obligors may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Persons Deemed Owners.  Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Co-Obligors, the Trustee and any agent of the Co-Obligors or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Co-Obligors, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Miscellaneous.  The Indenture and this Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of said State.

All terms used in this Note and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

We have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records of the Transaction Parties and such agreements, certificates and receipts of public officials, certificates of officers or other representatives of the Transaction Parties and others, and such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth below.

In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as

4

facsimile, electronic, certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.  In making our examination of executed documents, we have assumed that the parties thereto, other than SL Green OP and Reckson, had the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, and the execution and delivery by such parties of such documents and, except as to SL Green, the validity and binding effect thereof on such parties.  We have also assumed that SL Green has been duly organized and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and that SL Green has complied with all aspects of applicable laws of jurisdictions other than the United States of America, the State of Delaware and the State of New York in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. We have also assumed that the terms of the Securities have been established so as not to, and that the execution and delivery by the Transaction Parties of the Transaction Documents and the performance by the Transaction Parties of their obligations thereunder, do not and will not violate, conflict with or constitute a default under (i) any agreement or instrument to which any of the Transaction Parties or any of their properties are subject (except that we do not make the assumption set forth in this clause (i) with respect to those agreements and instruments which are listed in Part 2 of the Registration Statement or the Transaction Parties’ Annual Reports on Form 10-K), (ii) any law, rule, or regulation to which the Transaction Parties or any of their properties are subject (except that we do not make the assumption set forth in this clause (ii) with respect to the Opined on Law (as defined below)), (iii) any judicial or regulatory order or decree of any governmental authority or (iv) any consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, any governmental authority.  As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein that we did not independently establish or verify, we have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Transaction Parties and others and of public officials.

The opinions set forth below are subject to the following further qualifications, assumptions and limitations:

(a)           the validity or enforcement of any agreements or instruments may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

(b)           we do not express any opinion as to the applicability or effect of any fraudulent transfer, preference or similar law on the Securities; and

(c)           to the extent any opinion relates to the enforceability of the choice of New York law and choice of New York forum provisions of the Transaction Documents, our opinion is rendered in reliance upon N.Y. Gen. Oblig. Law §§ 5-1401, 5-1402 (McKinney 2001) and N.Y.

We do not express any opinion as to any laws other than the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and those laws, rules and regulations of the State of New York that, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Transaction Documents and, to the extent that judicial or regulatory orders or decrees or consents, approvals, licenses, authorizations, validations, filings, recordings or registrations with governmental authorities are relevant, to those required under such laws (all of the foregoing being referred to as “Opined on Law”). We do not express any opinion with respect to the law of any jurisdiction other than Opined on Law or as to the effect of any such non-Opined on Law on the opinions herein.  The opinions expressed herein are based on laws in effect on the date hereof, which laws are subject to change with possible retroactive effect.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the limitations, qualifications, exceptions and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Securities constitute valid and binding obligations of the Transaction Entities entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and enforceable against the Transaction Entities in accordance with their terms.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Co-Obligors’ Current Report on Form 8-K, dated the date hereof.  We also hereby consent to the reference to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are included in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations.  This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof unless otherwise expressly stated, and we disclaim any undertaking to advise you of any subsequent changes in the facts stated or assumed herein or of any subsequent changes in applicable law.
