Introductory Statement
 
This Amendment No. 3 (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 and Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule TO filed on May 18, 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. (formerly known as The Bank of New York), as trustee (the "Trustee"), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of January 25, 2007, by and among the Company, Reckson Associates Realty Corp., the Trustee and SL Green Realty Corp. ("SL Green"), (the "Indenture"). The right of a Holder to require the Company to purchase the Debentures, as described in the Company Notice to Holders of the 4.00% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2025 issued by the Company, dated May 10, 2010 (as amended from time to time, the "Company Notice"), and the related notice materials previously filed as exhibits to the Schedule TO, is referred to herein as the "Put Option."
 
This Amendment is being filed to report the final results of the Put Option. This Amendment amends only the items in the Schedule TO that are being amended, and unaffected terms are not included herein. Except as specifically set forth herein, this Amendment No. 3 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule TO. All capitalized terms in this Amendment No. 3 and not otherwise defined have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO. You should read this Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule TO together with the Schedule TO and the Company Notice.
 
This Amendment No. 3 and the Schedule TO, as previously amended, are intended to satisfy the reporting requirements of Rule 13e-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
 
Item 4.           Terms of the Transaction.
 
(a) Material Terms.
 
Item 4(a) of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following language:
 
The Put Option expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 8, 2010 (the "Expiration Date"). As of the Expiration Date, $80,724,000 aggregate principal amount of the Debentures were validly tendered and not withdrawn.  The Company has accepted all of the tendered Debentures pursuant to the terms of the Put Option.  Following settlement of the Put Option, $657,000 aggregate principal amount of the Debentures will remain outstanding and continue to be subject to the existing terms of the Debentures.
 
Settlement of the Put Option is expected to occur on June 15, 2010, the optional repurchase date under the terms of the Indenture (the "Optional Repurchase Date").  The consideration for the Debentures accepted for purchase will be paid by the Company to The Depository Trust Company, which will allocate such funds to the holders entitled thereto. The total consideration payable by the Company is $80,724,000.  The Optional Repurchase Date is an interest payment date under the terms of the Debentures.  Accordingly, interest accrued up to, but excluding, the Optional Repurchase Date will be paid to all holders, including those that have validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Debentures.
