Introductory Statement
 
This Amendment No. 2 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on May 10, 2010, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule TO filed on May 14, 2010 (as amended and supplemented, the "Schedule TO"), by Reckson Operating Partnership, L.P. (the "Company"). This Schedule TO relates to the right of each holder (each, a "Holder") of the Company's 4.00% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2025 (the "Debentures") to sell, and the obligation of the Company to purchase, the Debentures upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, dated as of March 26, 1999, among the Company, Reckson Associates Realty Corp. and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.
