 AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER 

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (including all exhibits, hereinafter referred to as this “Agreement”) is made and
entered into as of November 28, 2011 by and among Empire Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), Empire Realty Trust, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), and
[MANAGEMENT COMPANY], a [                    ] limited liability company (the “Management Company”). Terms used but not defined
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Article 6. 
 RECITALS 

A. The Company and the Operating Partnership desire to consolidate the ownership of (i) the Management Company, Malkin Properties,
L.L.C. and Malkin Properties of New York, L.L.C. (collectively, the “Reverse Merger Management Companies”) and Malkin Properties of Connecticut, Inc. and Malkin Construction Corp. (collectively, the “Forward Merger
Management Companies” and together with the Reverse Merger Management Companies, the “Management Companies”) and (ii) a portfolio of real properties (the “Contributed Properties”) owned by the entities
(the “Contributing Entities”), each as set forth on Exhibit A, subject to the approval of the owners of the Management Companies and the Contributing Entities, through a series of transactions (the “Formation
Transactions”) whereby (a) the Operating Partnership intends to acquire, directly or indirectly, the Reverse Merger Management Companies, (b) the Company intends to acquire, directly or indirectly, the Forward Merger Management
Companies and (c) the Operating Partnership intends to acquire, directly or indirectly, the right title and interests of the Contributing Entities in the Contributed Properties (the “Property Interests”) as indicated on
Exhibit A. The Operating Partnership also desires to have an option to acquire the interests (the “Optional Property Interests”) owned by certain private entities (the “Optional Contributing Entities”) in the
real properties (the “Optional Contributed Properties”) as indicated on Exhibit A, which may be exercised only after the final resolution of certain ongoing litigation with respect to the Optional Contributed Properties.

 B. The Formation Transactions will occur in conjunction with the proposed initial public offering (the
“IPO”) of Class A Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”). The Company will operate as a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust
(“REIT”) within the meaning of Section 856 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. 

C. (i) Pursuant to this Agreement, concurrently with the closing of the other Formation Transactions, a New York limited liability
company to be formed prior to the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.4) and to be wholly owned by the Operating Partnership (“Merger Sub”) will merge with and into the Management Company, with the Management Company
as the surviving entity (the “Merger”), pursuant to which each equity interest in the Management Company (the “Management Company Equity Interest”) will be converted automatically as set forth in this Agreement into
the right to receive limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (the “OP Units”) and shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class B Common Stock,” together
with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”) and (ii) concurrently with the execution of this 

  
 1 

 
Agreement, the Operating Partnership will enter into an agreement and plan of merger with each other Reverse Merger Management Company, pursuant to which, concurrently with the other Formation
Transactions, a separate wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership will merge with and into each other Reverse Merger Management Company. 
 D. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company will enter into an agreement and plan of merger with each Forward Merger Management Company, pursuant to which, concurrently with the
closing of the other Formation Transactions, each Forward Merger Management Company will merge with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (with such subsidiary being contributed to the Operating Partnership after such merger) and the
equity interest in each Forward Merger Management Company will be converted automatically into the right to receive shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock of the Company. 

E. The Operating Partnership, or a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, has entered into or will enter into a
contribution agreement with each Contributing Entity, pursuant to which, concurrently with the closing of the other Formation Transactions, each Contributing Entity shall contribute to the Operating Partnership, or a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Operating Partnership, respectively, all of such Contributing Entity’s interest in its applicable Property Interest, and the Operating Partnership, or such subsidiary, as applicable, shall acquire from such Contributing Entity all of such
Contributing Entity’s right, title and interest in its Property Interest. 
 F. The parties acknowledge that the Merger is
subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Additionally, it is understood that the Operating Partnership or a Subsidiary thereof may acquire the Optional Property Interests and may acquire interests in additional properties with the
proceeds of the IPO or otherwise. 
 G. The parties acknowledge that in connection with the Formation Transactions, Anthony E.
Malkin, Scott D. Malkin and Cynthia M. Blumenthal (the “Principals”), (i) pursuant to that separate agreement among the Principals, the Company and the Operating Partnership (the “Representation, Warranty and Indemnity
Agreement”), will indemnify, to the extent set forth therein, the Operating Partnership and the Company with respect to the breach of certain of the representations and warranties set forth in such agreement and (ii) pursuant to a
separate agreement among the Principals and certain of their Affiliates and related parties, the Company and/or Operating Partnership (the “Tax Protection Agreement”), Anthony E. Malkin, Peter L. Malkin and each of their spouses and
lineal descendants (including spouses of such descendents) and the lineal descendants of Lawrence A. Wein (including spouses of such descendents), any estates of any of the foregoing, any trusts now or hereafter established for the benefit of any of
the foregoing, or any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other legal entity controlled by Anthony E. Malkin for the benefit of any of the foregoing will receive protection from certain potential Tax consequences that could arise
from transactions that may occur following the Formation Transactions. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the
foregoing premises and the mutual undertakings set forth below, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

  
 2 

 TERMS OF AGREEMENT 
 ARTICLE 1. 
 THE MERGER 

Section 1.1 The Merger. 
 (a) At the Effective Time, and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with applicable Laws, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Management Company,
whereby the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Management Company shall continue its existence under New York Law as the surviving entity (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Entity”). 

(b) The Company and the Operating Partnership reserve the right, by written notice to the Management Company, to reallocate any assets of
the Management Company slated for acquisition by the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, such that such assets will instead be acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or the Operating Partnership thereof; provided that
such reallocation does not adversely affect the Tax treatment of the Merger contemplated herein to any party hereto. 
 (c) In
the event that the Operating Partnership determines that a structure change is necessary, advisable or desirable, the Operating Partnership may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to effect an Alternate Transaction, provided that the
Requisite Consent would be sufficient to approve such Alternate Transaction. In such event, the Management Company (a) hereby agrees and consents to such election without the need for Operating Partnership to seek any further consent or action
from the Management Company or any Equity Holder and (b) shall, and to the extent practicable, shall cause its Equity Holders and, if applicable, its Subsidiaries to, enter into and perform any agreements as shall be necessary to consummate
such Alternate Transaction. 
 Section 1.2 Excluded Assets. On or prior to the Closing, the Management Company must
distribute to its Equity Holders all of its right, title and interest in and to its cash and cash equivalents and other assets identified on Schedule 1.2 (such cash and other assets, the “Excluded Assets”) in accordance with the
provisions of the applicable Organizational Documents of the Management Company, provided that after such distributions, the current assets are at least equal to its current liabilities; provided, however, that other than the
distributions by the Management Company and actions taken in connection with the Merger, the Management Company has not since the date hereof taken, and shall not take, any action other than actions in the ordinary course consistent with past
practice to increase current assets or reduce current liabilities, including by increasing long-term liabilities, decreasing long-term assets, changing reserves or otherwise. The Operating Partnership agrees and acknowledges that the Management
Company must transfer or distribute the Excluded Assets to its Equity Holders at any time and from time to time prior to or after the Closing and no such transfer or distribution shall be deemed to violate or breach any provision under this
Agreement or any other documents contemplated hereby. 

  
 3 

 Section 1.3 Excluded Liabilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties
expressly acknowledge and agree that neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership shall be responsible for any liabilities, obligations or other expenses of the Management Company set forth on Schedule 1.3 or arising out of or relating
to the Excluded Assets (the “Excluded Liabilities”) or have any rights with respect thereto, and such Excluded Liabilities shall be assumed by the Equity Holders or an entity formed by the Equity Holders as of the Closing.

 Section 1.4 Effective Time. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, concurrently with or
as soon as practicable after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 2.1, Merger Sub and the Management Company shall file a certificate of merger or similar document with respect to the Merger (the
“Certificate of Merger”) as may be required by applicable Law with the Secretary of State of each applicable jurisdiction, providing that the Merger shall become effective upon filing or at such later date and time set forth in the
Certificate of Merger that is not more than thirty (30) days after the acceptance of such Certificate of Merger by the Secretary of State of the applicable jurisdiction for record (the “Effective Time”), together with any
certificates and other filings or recordings related thereto, in such forms as are required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of applicable Laws. 
 Section 1.5 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and applicable Laws. 

Section 1.6 Organizational Documents. At the Effective Time, the Organizational Documents of the Merger Sub, as in effect
immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Organizational Documents of the Surviving Entity until thereafter amended as provided therein or in accordance with applicable Laws. 

Section 1.7 Conversion of the Management Company Equity Interests. 

(a) Under and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each equity holder in the Management Company (each an
“Equity Holder” and collectively the “Equity Holders”) is entitled to receive as a result of and upon consummation of the Merger, its pro rata share of the Merger Consideration as calculated in
Section 1.7(b). 
 (b) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the
Operating Partnership, the Company, the Management Company or any Equity Holder, each Management Company Equity Interest shall be converted automatically into the right of an Equity Holder to receive OP Units with an aggregate value equal to the
portion (determined in accordance with the Management Company’s Organizational Documents) of value, as calculated in Schedule 1.7(b) (the “Value”), represented by such Management Company Equity Interest (collectively
referred to as the “Merger Consideration”). Each Equity Holder may elect to receive as a distribution in respect of its Equity Interests upon the consummation of the Merger and the closing of the IPO, instead of all or any portion
of the OP Units attributable to it, one share of Class B Common Stock for every 50 OP Units such Equity Holder would otherwise receive in the Merger (i.e., such Equity Holder would receive one share of Class B Common Stock and 49 OP Units). At the
Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Operating Partnership, the Company, the Management 

  
 4 

 
Company or any Equity Holder, the equity interests in the Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted automatically into equity interests in the
Management Company so that after the Effective Time, the Operating Partnership or an Affiliate that is the holder of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Merger Sub shall be the holder of all of the issued and outstanding shares of
the Management Company. 
 (c) No fractional OP Units shall be issued to an Equity Holder pursuant to this Agreement. If
aggregating all OP Units that an Equity Holder in the Management Company otherwise would be entitled to receive as a result of the Merger would require the issuance of a fractional OP Unit, in lieu of such fractional OP Unit, an Equity Holder shall
be entitled to receive one OP Unit for each fractional OP Unit of 0.50 or greater. The Operating Partnership will not issue an OP Unit for any fractional share of OP Unit of less than 0.50. 

(d) From and after the Effective Time, each Management Company Equity Interest converted into the right to receive the Merger
Consideration pursuant to Section 1.7(b) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of such Management Company Equity Interest so converted shall thereafter
cease to have any rights as an Equity Holder, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration applicable thereto. 
 (e) As
soon as practicable following the determination of the IPO Price and prior to the Closing, all calculations relating to the Merger Consideration to be received by each Equity Holder shall be performed in good faith by, or under the direction of, the
Company and the Operating Partnership, and, absent manifest error, shall be final and binding upon the Management Company and its Equity Holders. 
 (f) The parties acknowledge that the transfer of OP Units to the Equity Holders pursuant to this Section 1.7 shall be evidenced by an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the OP
Agreement admitting Equity Holders receiving OP Units hereunder as limited partners of the Operating Partnership and (ii) Class B Common Stock shall be evidenced through the electronic registration of such Class B Common Stock with the
Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC Registered REIT Stock”) or a different form to be determined by the Company, in such names as the Management Company shall direct, based on instructions from its Equity Holders
receiving shares of Class B Common Stock hereunder. Each Equity Holder that will receive OP Units shall be instructed to execute, in connection with its consent to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, an agreement to become a party to
and be bound by the OP Agreement. The Operating Company may withhold distribution of any OP Units to any Equity Holder until such Equity Holder executes an agreement to be become a party to and be bound by the OP Agreement. 

Section 1.8 Tax Treatment. 
 (a) The parties intend and agree that the Merger, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, shall constitute an “assets over” partnership merger of the Management Company into the Operating
Partnership (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.708-1(c)(3)(i)).1 
  

  
 5 

 (b) The Management Company and the Operating Partnership hereby agree to the U.S. federal
income tax treatment described in this Section 1.8, and the Management Company and the Operating Partnership shall not maintain a position on their respective U.S. federal income tax returns or otherwise that is inconsistent therewith.

 (c) The Operating Partnership shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any portion of the Merger Consideration to be
distributed to an Equity Holder such amount as it is required to deduct and withhold from such payment under the Code or any provision of U.S. federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are withheld by the Operating
Partnership, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Equity Holder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Operating Partnership. 

Section 1.9 Term of Agreement. If the Closing does not occur by December 31, 2014, or such earlier time as the Company
determines not to proceed with the IPO (the “Termination Date”), this Agreement shall be deemed terminated and shall be of no further force and effect and none of the Company, the Operating Partnership or the Management Company
shall have any further obligations hereunder except as specifically set forth in this Agreement.

delivered from the Management Company to the Company and the Operating Partnership simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement (the “Disclosure Letter”), as may be amended from time to time prior to the Closing Date with
Consent of the Company and the Operating Partnership: 
 (a) Organization; Authority. 

(i) The Management Company is a limited liability company, duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of
its jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and each 

  
 14 

 
agreement or other document contemplated by this Agreement and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and to own, lease and/or operate its property, as applicable, and its

has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary actions required of the Management Company. This Agreement and each other agreement or document contemplated by this Agreement executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Management Company
constitutes, or when executed and delivered will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Management Company, each enforceable against the Management Company in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

correct and complete description of the capitalization of the Management Company as provided in the books and records of the Management Company. All of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Management Company are validly issued and, to

Company’s Knowledge, all notices, licenses, permits, certificates and authorizations required for the continued conduct and operation of the business of the Management Company have been obtained or can be obtained without unreasonable cost, and

thereof, except in each case for items that, if not so obtained, obtainable, effective and/or assigned, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the Management Company’s
Knowledge, neither the Management Company nor any third party has taken any action that (or failed to take any action the omission of which) would result in the revocation of any such notice, license, permit, certificate or authorization where such
revocation or revocations would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

proceeding pending or, to the Management Company’s Knowledge, threatened against the Management Company which challenges or impairs the ability of the Management Company to execute, deliver or perform its obligations under any of the Closing
Documents or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. To the Management Company’s Knowledge, there is no outstanding order, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority against it or affecting all or any
portion of its assets, which in any such case would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or that would impair the Management Company’s ability to execute, deliver or perform its obligations under this Agreement. 

(f) Compliance with Laws. The Management Company has conducted its business and maintained its properties in compliance with all
applicable Laws, except for such failures that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Management Company does not have Knowledge of and has not been informed in writing of any
continuing violation of any Laws relating to the conduct of the business of the Management Company or the commencement of any investigation respecting any such possible violation, except in each case for violations that would not, individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (g) Leases. Except for matters that would
not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each of the leases to which the Management Company is a party or by which the Management Company or any of its assets is bound or subject, is in full
force and effect, and the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Management Company, and to the Management Company’s Knowledge, the other parties thereto, enforceable against each such party in accordance with its terms, subject to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding
at law or in equity).

insurance coverage with respect to such Management Company as the Management Company reasonably deems necessary. To the Management Company’s Knowledge, each such insurance policy is in full force and effect and all premiums currently due and

Management Company in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or any other agreement or document contemplated by this Agreement to which the Management Company is a party and the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, except for those Consents, the failure of which to obtain or to file, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (it being agreed that the failure to obtain the Requisite Consent
would be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect). 
 (k) No Violation. Assuming the accuracy of the representations
and warranties of the Company and the Operating Partnership made hereunder, none of the execution, delivery or performance by the Management Company of this Agreement or any other agreement or document contemplated by this Agreement to which the

(or had paid on its behalf) all Taxes shown thereon as owing. No deficiencies for any Taxes have been proposed, asserted or assessed in writing against the Management Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and no requests for waivers of the time to

payable) upon any of the assets of the Management Company. 
 (iii) The Management Company is and has been since its formation
treated as a partnership or entity disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, and no Governmental Authority responsible for the assessment or collection of Tax has challenged such treatment.

(v) any agreement involving any joint venture, partnership, strategic alliance, shareholders’ agreement, co-marketing,

only pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption therefrom and the Management Company understands that, and has apprised the Equity Holders that, the Operating Partnership has no obligation or intention to register any OP Units,

assets to the Equity Holders promptly after the Closing. 
 Section 4.4 Commercially Reasonable Efforts. Subject to
the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement, each of the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Management Company covenants and agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate with each other in (a) promptly determining
whether any filings are required to be made or consents, approvals, waivers, permits or authorizations are required to be obtained (under any applicable Laws or from any Governmental Authority or third party) in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, (b) promptly making any such filings, furnishing information required in connection therewith and timely seeking to obtain any such consents, approvals, waivers, permits or authorizations and (c) taking all
actions and doing, or causing to be done, all things necessary, proper and/or appropriate to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 Section 4.5 Tax Covenants. 
 (a) The Management Company shall timely
file or cause to be timely filed when due all Tax returns required to be filed on or prior to the Closing Date and shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes shown due thereon. The Equity Holders’ Representative shall timely file or cause to be
timely filed when due all Tax returns required to be filed on or after the Closing Date but relating to periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date and shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes shown due thereon. All such Tax returns (including,
for the avoidance of doubt, any amended Tax returns) shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. 
 (b) The Operating Partnership shall prepare or cause to be prepared all other Tax returns of the Management Company. 

  
 22 

 (c) The Equity Holders’ Representative and the Operating Partnership shall provide each
other with such reasonable cooperation and information relating to the Management Company as the parties reasonably require in (i) filing any Tax return, amended Tax return or claim for Tax refund, (ii) determining any liability for taxes
or a right to a Tax refund, (iii) conducting or defending any proceeding in respect of Taxes or (iv) performing Tax diligence, including with respect to the impact of this transaction on the Company’s qualification as a REIT for U.S.
federal income Tax purposes. The Operating Partnership shall promptly notify each Equity Holder upon receipt by the Operating Partnership or any of its Affiliates of written notice of (A) any pending or threatened Tax audits or assessments and

taxable period, or portion thereof, ending on or prior to the Closing Date. The Operating Partnership shall be responsible for the prosecution of any claim or audit instituted after the Closing Date with respect to Taxes attributable to any taxable
period, or portion thereof, ending on or before the Closing Date, provided, that the Equity Holders may participate at their own expense and the Operating Partnership shall cooperate with the Equity Holders in the conduct of any such audit or
proceeding or portion thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Management Company has not liquidated, the Operating Partnership may not settle or otherwise resolve any such claim, suit or proceeding which could have an adverse Tax effect on
the Equity Holders or their Affiliates (other than on such Equity Holders or any of their Affiliates as a partner of the Operating Partnership) without the consent of the Equity Holders’ Representative, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. 
 (d) With respect to the assets (other than the Excluded Assets) treated for U.S. federal
income Tax purposes as transferred by the Management Company to the Operating Partnership pursuant to the Merger, in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code, the Operating Partnership shall adopt the “traditional method,” as
described in Section 1.704-3(b) of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code, to make allocations of taxable income and loss among the partners of the Operating Partnership and therefore shall not make any curative or remedial
allocations unless the Operating Partnership and the parties to the Tax Protection Agreement agree otherwise in the Tax Protection Agreement. 
 Section 4.6 Employee Covenants. From the date hereof through the Closing, to the extent necessary, proper or advisable, the parties hereto agree to act in good faith and to use their
reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions to effect the orderly transition of the employees of the Management Company to the Operating Partnership or Subsidiary, as the case may be, and to modify, amend, or cause the
assumption by the Operating Partnership or Subsidiary, as the case may be, of existing employee benefit arrangements and/or the termination of existing employee benefit arrangements and the adoption of new employee benefit arrangements in respect of
such employees, in each case, under such terms and conditions as may be agreed to between each of the parties hereto.

 POWER OF ATTORNEY

 (a) By executing this Agreement, the Management Company hereby irrevocably appoints the Operating Partnership (or its
designee) and any successor thereof from time to time (such Operating Partnership or designee or any such successor of any of them acting in his, her or its capacity as attorney-in-fact pursuant hereto, the “Attorney-in-Fact”) as
the true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent of the Management Company, to act in the name, place and stead of each of the Management Company to make, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such other deeds (including grant deeds if applicable),
assignments, contracts, orders, receipts, notices, requests, instructions, certificates, consents, letters and other writings (including, without limitation, (i) the execution of any Closing Documents or other documents relating to the

out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Formation Transactions and the IPO as fully as could the Management Company if personally present and acting (the “Power of Attorney”). 

(b) The Power of Attorney and all authority granted hereby shall be coupled with an interest and therefore shall be irrevocable and shall
not be terminated by any act of the Management Company, and if any other such act or events shall occur before the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Attorney-in-Fact nevertheless shall be authorized and directed to
complete all such transactions as if such other act or events had not occurred and regardless of notice thereof. The Management Company agrees that, at the request of the Operating Partnership, it promptly will execute and deliver to the Operating
Partnership a separate power of attorney on the same terms set forth in this Article 5, such execution to be witnessed and notarized, and in recordable form (if necessary). The Management Company hereby authorizes the reliance of third
parties on each of the Power of Attorney. 
 (c) The Management Company acknowledges that the Operating Partnership has, and any
designee or successor thereof acting as Attorney-in-Fact may have, an economic interest in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 (d) Each Equity Holder shall be instructed to execute, in connection with its consent to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, a power of attorney in favor of the Operating Partnership or its
designee on the terms set forth in this Article 5 to make, execute, acknowledge and deliver all documents set forth in Section 5.1(a). The Management Company may withhold distribution of OP Units to any such Equity Holder until
such Equity Holder executes a power of attorney or the Lock-up Agreement and each other document required to be executed by such Equity Holder in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. 

Section 5.2 Limitation on Liability. It is understood that the Attorney-in-Fact assumes no responsibility or liability to any
Person by virtue of the Power of Attorney granted by the Management Company hereby. The Attorney-in-Fact makes no representations with respect to and shall have no responsibility in its capacity as Attorney-in-Fact for the Formation Transactions or
the IPO, or the consummation of the Merger, and shall not be liable in its capacity as Attorney-in-Fact for any error or judgment or for any act done or omitted or for any 

  
 24 

 
mistake of fact or Law except for its own gross negligence or bad faith, or breach of this Agreement or the terms of its power of attorney provided for in this Agreement. The Management Company
agrees to indemnify the Attorney-in-Fact for and to hold the Attorney-in-Fact harmless against any Losses incurred on its part arising out of or in connection with it acting as the Attorney-in-Fact under the Power of Attorney created by the
Management Company hereby, as well as the cost and expense of investigating and defending against any such Losses, except to the extent such Losses are due to its own gross negligence or bad faith. The Management Company agrees that the
Attorney-in-Fact may consult with counsel of its own choice (who may be counsel for the Operating Partnership or its successors or Affiliates), at its own cost, 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. It is understood that the Attorney-in-Fact may, without breaching any express or implied obligation to the Management Company hereunder, release, amend or
modify any other power of attorney granted by any other Person under any related agreement. 
 Section 5.3 Ratification;
Third-Party Reliance. The Management Company hereby ratifies and confirms that the Attorney-in-Fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of the exercise of the powers granted unto it by the Management Company under this Article
5, and the Management Company authorizes the reliance of third parties on this Power of Attorney and waives its rights, if any, as against any such third party for its reliance hereon.

jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in New York County, New York with respect to any dispute arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby to the extent such courts would have subject matter jurisdiction with

 Section 7.8 Dispute Resolution. The parties intend that this Section 7.8 will be valid, binding, enforceable, exclusive and irrevocable and that it shall survive any termination of
this Agreement. 
 (a) Upon any dispute, controversy or Claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the enforcement,

findings of fact and conclusions of law, shall be filed with JAMS and mailed to the parties no later than thirty (30) days after the close of the arbitration hearing. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the parties and not
subject to collateral attack. Judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in any federal or state court having jurisdiction thereof. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to submit all Disputes to final and binding arbitration before JAMS, the parties shall have the right to seek and obtain temporary or preliminary injunctive
relief in any court having jurisdiction thereof pursuant to Section 7.7. Such courts shall have authority to, among other things, grant temporary or provisional injunctive relief in order to protect any party’s rights under this
Agreement. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of a court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the parties to request that any court modify
or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect. 

(d) The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the non-prevailing party shall

allocate such costs and designate the prevailing party or parties for these purposes. 
 Section 7.9 Severability.
Each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted so as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability will not affect any other provision, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision never had been included in this Agreement. 

Section 7.10 Rules of Construction. 
 (a) The parties agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law, regulation, holding
or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

 REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT 

THIS REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of November 28, 2011 (this
“Agreement”) and is effective as of the Closing Date, by and among Empire Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and Empire Realty Trust, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and subsidiary of
the Company (the “Operating Partnership,” and collectively with the Company, the “Consolidated Entities”) on the one hand, and Anthony E. Malkin, Scott D. Malkin and Cynthia M. Blumenthal on the other hand (such
individuals collectively, the “Principals”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in Section 5.1. 
 RECITALS 
 A. WHEREAS, in conjunction with the Company’s formation
transactions and the initial public offering of the Company (the “IPO”), the Company desires to consolidate (1) the ownership of the Participation Interests held by the Participants in 23 limited liability companies and limited
partnerships (the “Existing Entities”) which own fee, ground leasehold interests or operating leasehold interests in the 18 real properties and the two acres of vacant land described in each Existing Entity’s Consent
Solicitation Statement/Offering Memorandum or the Prospectus/Consent Solicitation Statement included in the registration statement on Form S-4, as applicable (the “Form S-4” and collectively, the “Consent
Solicitations”), to be provided to each Participant in connection with its consent to the Consolidation Transaction or election as to the form of consideration to be received in the Consolidation Transaction and (2) Malkin Holdings
LLC, a New York limited liability company (“Malkin Holdings”), Malkin Properties, L.L.C., a New York limited liability company (“Malkin Properties”), Malkin Properties of New York, L.L.C., a New York limited
liability company (“Malkin Properties NY”), Malkin Properties of Connecticut, Inc., a Connecticut corporation (“Malkin Properties Conn”), and Malkin Construction Corp., a Connecticut corporation
(“Construction,” and together with Malkin Holdings, Malkin Properties, Malkin Properties NY, and Malkin Properties Conn, the “Existing Management Entities”). Such consolidations into the Company and the Operating
Partnership will be completed prior to or concurrently with the completion of the IPO (as more particularly described below and in the Consent Solicitations (collectively, the “Consolidation Transaction”)) pursuant to various
contribution agreements (the “Contribution Agreements”) and various merger agreements (together with the Contribution Agreements, the “Consolidation Agreements”) by and among the Company, the Operating Partnership
and the other parties thereto. 
 B. WHEREAS, the Consolidation Transaction will entail, among other things, a series of
contribution and merger transactions, pursuant to which the Existing Entities and/or their Participants will receive, as applicable, units of limited partnership interests (the “OP Units”) to be issued by the Operating Partnership,
shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), shares of Class B common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class B Common Stock,” together with the
Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”) to be issued by the Company and/or cash, which (to the extent received by the Existing Entities) will each be distributed to the Participants therein. 

 C. WHEREAS, the following agreements together with this Agreement are collectively referred
to in this Agreement as the “Consolidation Transaction Documents”: the Registration Rights Agreement, the Tax Protection Agreement, the Lock-Up Agreements, the Consolidation Agreements and to the extent that the Participants and the
Principals are receiving OP Units, the Operating Partnership Agreement (all such terms as defined in the Consent Solicitations in the forms filed as exhibits to the Form S-4). 
 D. WHEREAS, to induce the Consolidated Entities to enter into the Consolidation Transaction Documents, the Principals have agreed to provide, jointly and severally, certain representations, warranties and
indemnities as set forth herein. 
 E. WHEREAS, the Principals have agreed to deposit OP Units or Common Stock as determined by
the Principals, with an aggregate value on the Closing Date equal to $25,000,000 (collectively, the “Indemnity Holdback Amount”) into an escrow account (the “Indemnity Holdback Escrow”) pursuant to the
“Escrow Agreement” attached as Exhibit A hereto with the “Escrow Agent” (as defined therein), to provide the exclusive remedy for any breaches of this Agreement. Each OP Unit or share of Common Stock so deposited
shall be valued at the IPO price (before the deduction of underwriting discounts and other offering expenses) of a share of Common Stock in the IPO (the “IPO Price”). 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants and other terms contained in this
Agreement, the parties, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE 1. 

REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTIES 
 The Principals hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Consolidated Entities that as of Closing Date (or such other date specifically set forth below), except as disclosed in the Consent
Solicitations, the Prospectus or the disclosure letter delivered from the Principals to the Consolidated Entities simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement (the “Disclosure Letter”), as may be amended from time to time
prior to the Closing Date with Consent of the Consolidated Entities: 
 Section 1.1 Organization; Authority.

 (a) Each of the Existing Entities and each of the Existing Management Entities is a limited liability company, a limited or
general partnership, or a corporation, as the case may be, duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite power and authority to enter into each Consolidation
Transaction Document and each agreement or other document contemplated by the Consolidation Transaction Documents and to carry out the transactions contemplated thereby, and to own, lease and/or operate each of its Real Properties and its other
assets, and to carry on its business as presently conducted. Each such Existing Entity and Existing Management Entity, to the extent required under applicable Laws, is qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which
the nature of its business or the character of its Real Properties make such qualification necessary, other than such failures to be so qualified as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. 

  
 2 

 (b) Section 1.1(b)(i) of the Disclosure Letter sets forth as of the date hereof
with respect to each Existing Entity and each Existing Management Entity (i) each Subsidiary, if applicable, (ii) the ownership interest of the Existing Entity or Existing Management Entity in each such Subsidiary, respectively,
(iii) if not wholly-owned by such Existing Entity or such Existing Management Entity, the identity and ownership interest of each of the other owners of such Subsidiary which owns more than a 10% ownership interest and (iv) each Real
Property owned or leased pursuant to a ground lease by such Existing Entity or such Subsidiary. Each Subsidiary has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and has all
power and authority to own, lease and/or operate its Real Properties and its other assets, and to carry on its business as presently conducted. Each Subsidiary, to the extent required under applicable Laws, is qualified to do business and is in good
standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the character of its Real Properties make such qualification necessary, other than such failures to be so qualified as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 1.2 Due Authorization. The execution, delivery and
performance by each Existing Entity and Existing Management Entity of each agreement or document contemplated by this Agreement to which it is a party has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary actions required of such Existing Entity and
Existing Management Entity. This Agreement and each other agreement or document contemplated by this Agreement executed and delivered by or on behalf of each Existing Entity and Existing Management Entity constitutes, or when executed and delivered
will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Existing Entity or Existing Management Entity, each enforceable against such Existing Entity or Existing Management Entity in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or
in equity). 
 Section 1.3 Capitalization. Section 1.3 of the Disclosure Letter sets forth as of the
date hereof a true, correct and complete description of the capitalization of each Existing Entity and Existing Management Entity as provided in the books and records of each such Existing Entity and Existing Management Entity, including the
override interests of Malkin Holdings. All issued and outstanding equity interests of such Existing Entity and Existing Management Entity are validly issued and, to the Principals’ Knowledge, are not subject to preemptive rights, or appraisal,
dissenters or similar rights. There are no outstanding rights to purchase, subscriptions, warrants, options or any other security convertible into or exchangeable for equity interests in any Existing Entity, any Existing Management Entity or any of
their respective Subsidiaries. 
 Section 1.4 Licenses and Permits. To the Principals’ Knowledge, all notices,
licenses, permits, certificates and authorizations required for the continued use, occupancy, management, leasing and operation of the Real Properties and for the continued conduct and operation of the business of the Existing Management Entities
have been obtained or can be obtained without unreasonable cost, and, to the extent the same have been obtained, are in full force and effect and (to the extent required in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Consolidation

  
 3 

 
Transaction Documents) are assignable to the Company or the Operating Partnership, except in each case for items that, if not so obtained, obtainable, effective and/or assigned, would not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the Principals’ Knowledge, no Existing Entity, Existing Management Entity or Subsidiary or any third party has taken any action that (or failed to
take any action the omission of which) would result in the revocation of any such notice, license, permit, certificate or authorization where such revocation or revocations would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 1.5 Litigation. There is no action, suit or proceeding pending or, to the
Principals’ Knowledge, threatened against any Existing Entity, Existing Management Entity or Subsidiary which, if adversely determined, would, individually or together with all such other actions, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. As of the date hereof, there is no action, suit or proceeding pending or, to the Principals’ Knowledge, threatened against any Existing Entity or Existing Management Entity or any of their Subsidiaries which challenges or
impairs the ability of the Existing Entity, Existing Management Entity or any of their Subsidiaries to execute, deliver or perform its obligations under any of the Consolidation Transaction Documents or to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby. To the Principals’ Knowledge, there is no outstanding order, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority against any Existing Entity, Existing Management Entity or Subsidiary, or affecting all or any portion of
their properties, which in any such case would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or that would impair the ability of such Existing Entity, Existing Management Entity or Subsidiary to execute, deliver or perform its obligations
under the Consolidation Transaction Documents. No Existing Entity or Subsidiary has received any written notice of any pending or threatened proceedings for the rezoning (i.e., as opposed to the current zoning) of any Real Property or any portion
thereof which would substantially and materially impair the current or proposed use thereof. 
 Section 1.6 Compliance
with Laws. Each Existing Entity, Management Entity and Subsidiary has conducted their respective businesses and maintained their properties in compliance with all applicable Laws, except for such failures that would not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Principals has any Knowledge of, or has been informed in writing of, any continuing violation of any Laws relating to the conduct of the business of such Existing
Entity, Existing Management Entity and/or Subsidiary or the commencement of any investigation respecting any such possible violation, except in each case for violations that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 1.7 Ownership. Each Existing Entity or Subsidiary is the owner of the fee
simple estate (or, in the case of certain Real Properties, the leasehold estate or a co-tenancy) to the Real Property identified in Section 1.7 of the Disclosure Letter as being owned by such Existing Entity or Subsidiary, in each case
free and clear of all Liens except for Permitted Liens. 
 Section 1.8 Leases. 

(a) With respect to each ground lease and operating lease identified in Section 1.8 of the Disclosure Letter, and each lease
under which an Existing Entity is a landlord or 

  
 4 

 
sublandlord at the date hereof that is material to any of the Properties (each, along with all amendments or modifications thereof, a “Lease” and collectively, the
“Leases”), (i) such Lease is valid, binding against such Existing Entity, and to the Principals’ Knowledge, the other parties thereto, and in full force and effect, (ii) none of the Existing Entities or any Subsidiary
party thereto, and to the Principals’ Knowledge, any other party thereto, is in material violation of, or material default under, such Lease, (iii) none of the Existing Entities or Subsidiaries has granted an option or right of first
refusal or offer, (iv) no event has occurred and is pending, which, after the giving of notice, with lapse of time, or otherwise, would constitute a material breach or material default by any Existing Entity or Subsidiary or the applicable
lessor and (v) complete (in all material respects) copies of all such Leases have been made available to the Consolidated Entities. 
 (b) Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each of the Leases to which any Existing Entity, Existing Management
Entity or Subsidiary is a party or by which any Existing Entity, Existing Management Entity or Subsidiary or any Real Property is bound or subject, is in full force and effect, and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
applicable Existing Entity, Existing Management Entity or Subsidiary, and to the Principals’ Knowledge, each other party thereto, enforceable against each Existing Entity, Existing Management Entity or Subsidiary, and to the Principals’
Knowledge, each other party thereto, in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general
principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity). 
 (c) To the
Principals’ Knowledge, no tenant under any such Lease is presently the subject of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 1.9 Insurance. Each applicable Existing Entity, Existing Management
Entity or Subsidiary has in place the public liability, casualty and other insurance coverage with respect to each Real Property as the Principals reasonably deem necessary, including in all cases, such coverage as is required under the terms of any
Continuing Loan or ground or operating lease. To the Principals’ Knowledge, each of the insurance policies with respect to the Real Properties is in full force and effect and all premiums currently due and payable thereunder have been fully
paid. To the Principals’ Knowledge, no Existing Entity, Existing Management Entity or Subsidiary has received from any insurance company any written notices of cancellation or intent to cancel any insurance which remain outstanding. 

Section 1.10 Environmental Matters. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a

this Agreement to which such Existing Entity or Existing Management Entity or Subsidiary is a party and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except for those Consents, the failure of which to obtain or to file, would not, individually or

the execution, delivery or performance by any Existing Entity or Existing Management Entity of any agreement or document contemplated by the Consolidation Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby does or will, with or without the giving of notice, lapse of time, or both, violate, conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under or give to others any right of termination, acceleration, cancellation or other right
under, (a) the Organizational Documents of any Existing Entity or Existing Management Entity or Subsidiary, (b) any agreement, document or instrument to which any Existing Entity or Existing Management Entity or Subsidiary or any of their

“Existing Parties”) is a party to: 
 (a) any agreement pursuant to which an Existing Party provides property
management, construction management, asset management, leasing or other real-estate related services to any Person other than another Existing Party; 
 (b) any agreement pursuant to which an Existing Party would be required to pay severance to any member, managing member, partner, general partner, director, officer or employee, to the extent applicable,
of such Existing Party; 
 (c) any agreement with another Person limiting or restricting in any material respect the ability of
any Existing Party to enter into or engage in any market or line of business (other than agreements with tenants entered into in the ordinary course of business relating to the business that can be conducted at the leased premises and the covenants
in any Existing Loan Document); 
 (d) any agreement for the sale of any of the assets of any Existing Party other than in the
ordinary course of business or with any Existing Entity, or for the grant to any Person of any Liens on or preferential rights to purchase (or buy-sell or similar rights with respect to) any of the assets of any Existing Party other than Liens or
any such rights granted to tenants or other third parties for non-material portions of individual Real Properties (e.g., outparcels); 
 (e) any agreement involving any joint venture, partnership, strategic alliance, shareholders’ agreement, co-marketing, co-promotion, joint development or similar arrangement, except for the
Organizational Documents of any Existing Party, any agreement with any other Existing Entity and any such agreements that are terminable upon thirty (30) days’ or less notice without penalty or premium; or 

(f) any other agreement (or group of related agreements) the performance of which presently requires aggregate payments be made from any
Existing Party in excess of $1,000,000 per year other than to another Existing Party. 
 With respect to each of the contracts to which any of
the Existing Parties is a party and which is required to be set forth in Section 1.16 of the Disclosure Letter (the “Material Contracts”), such Material Contract is in full force and effect and is the legal, valid and
binding obligation of the applicable Existing Party, and, to the Principals’ Knowledge, the other parties thereto, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
and similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity). Complete (in all material respects)
copies of the Material Contracts have been made available to the Consolidated Entities. With respect to each Material Contract, neither any Existing Party that is party thereto nor, to the Principals’ Knowledge, any other party is in material
breach or material violation of, or material default under, any such Material Contract, and, to the Principals’ Knowledge, no event has 

  
 8 

 
occurred and is pending which after the giving of notice, with lapse of time or otherwise would constitute a material breach or material default by any Existing Party or any other party to such
Material Contract. 
 Section 1.17 Existing Loans. Section 1.17 of the Disclosure Letter sets forth a
complete list of all loans made to Existing Entities or Subsidiaries (the “Existing Loans”), including in each case the names of the lender and borrower thereunder and the outstanding principal balance as of June 30, 2011. Such
notes, mortgages, deeds of trust and all other documents or instruments evidencing, governing or securing such Existing Loans, including any financing statements, and any amendments, consolidations, restatements, modifications and assignments of the
foregoing, shall be referred to, collectively, as the “Existing Loan Documents.” With respect to each Existing Loan, (a) the lender has not declared in writing a default or event of default, (b) the lender has not brought
any Claim in writing under any guaranty and (c) to the Principals’ Knowledge, no event has occurred which, after the giving of notice, with lapse of time, or otherwise, would constitute a monetary default or material non-monetary default
by the borrower thereunder or give rise to any material Claims by the lender under any guaranties provided with respect thereto. Complete (in all material respects) copies of the Existing Loan Documents have been made available to the Operating
Partnership. 
 Section 1.18 Bankruptcy. No bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceeding has been filed, or is

(c) Employers have complied in all material respects with all applicable state and federal equal employment opportunity Laws and with
other Laws related to employment, including those related to wages, hours, worker classification and collective bargaining other than such noncompliance that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in Section 1.19 of the Disclosure Letter, neither the Employers nor any of their respective Subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining agreement with any labor organization or other representative
of any of its employees, no such agreement is presently being negotiated by any such entities, and none of such employees is represented by any union with respect to their employment by any such entity. Except as set forth in Section 1.19 of
the Disclosure Letter or as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) there are no unfair labor practice complaints pending against any Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries before the National
Labor 

  
 9 

 
Relations Board or any other labor relations tribunal or authority and (ii) there are no strikes, work stoppages, slowdowns, lockouts, material arbitrations or material grievances, or other
material labor disputes pending or, to the Principals’ Knowledge, threatened in writing against or involving any Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries. The Employers have withheld and paid to the appropriate governmental entity or
are holding for payment not yet due to such governmental entity all amounts required to be withheld from employees of Employers and are not liable for any arrears of wages, taxes, penalties or other sums for failure to comply with any of the
foregoing other than such noncompliance or liabilities that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (d) At the date of this Agreement, no officer or other executive-level employee has provided written notice of an intention to terminate employment with any Employer. The employment of each employee of
each Employer is terminable at will by such Employer, respectively. 
 Section 1.20 Intellectual Property. Each of
the Existing Management Entities owns all trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, tradenames, copyrights, trade secrets, licenses, domain names, mask works, information and proprietary rights and processes as are necessary to the conduct
of each Existing Management Entity’s business as now conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted (collectively, “Malkin Intellectual Property”) that it purports to own and possesses sufficient and enforceable legal
rights to such Malkin Intellectual Property as are necessary for the conduct of each Existing Management Entity’s business as now conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted, other than as would not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 1.21 No Broker. None of the Existing Entities,
the Existing Management Entities or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their members, managing members, partners, general partners, directors, officers, employees, to the extent applicable, has entered into any agreement with any broker, finder or
similar agent or any Person or firm that will result in the obligation of the Company, the Operating Partnership or any of their Affiliates to pay any finder’s fee, brokerage fees or commissions or similar payment in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Consolidation Transaction Documentation. Malkin Holdings LLC or an affiliate may be entitled to a finder’s fee, brokerage fees or commissions or similar payment from certain Existing Entities in respect of the
Consolidation Transaction. Any such fee, commission or payment due from an Existing Entity to Malkin Holdings or an affiliate will be excluded from the assets and liabilities consolidated in the Consolidation Transaction and will not be the
obligation of the Company, the Operating Partnership or any of their Affiliates. 
 ARTICLE 2. 

NATURE OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
 Section 2.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive after the Closing Date until the date that is twelve
(12) months after the Closing Date (the “Expiration Date”). If written notice of a Claim in accordance with Section 4.2 has been given prior to the Expiration Date, then the relevant representation or warranty shall
survive, but only with respect to such specific Claim, until such Claim has been finally resolved. Any Claim for indemnification not so asserted in writing by the Expiration Date may not thereafter be asserted and shall forever be waived.

  
 10 

 Section 2.2 No Implied Representations or Warranties. Other than the
representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article I and any other instrument executed by the Principals in their individual capacity in connection with the Consolidation Transaction, the Principals shall not be deemed to have made any
other representation or warranty in connection with this Agreement or any other agreement or document contemplated by this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 

ARTICLE 3. 

INDEMNITY HOLDBACK ESCROW 
 Section 3.1 Establishment. On the Closing Date, the Principals shall deposit the Indemnity Holdback Amount into the Indemnity Holdback Escrow. The Indemnity Holdback Escrow initially shall
consist of the amount of the Indemnity Holdback Amount, and thereafter (a) the amount of the Indemnity Holdback Amount from the Principals’ deposits minus (b) any disbursements made pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow
Agreement (other than disbursements of any earnings, dividends, distributions, interest and gains earned or realized on the Indemnity Holdback Amount (“Earnings”), which shall not be part of the Indemnity Holdback Escrow or the
Indemnity Escrow Amount and shall be promptly distributed to the Principals as provided in the Escrow Agreement). 
 ARTICLE 4.

 PAYMENT 
 Section 4.1 Indemnification of Consolidated Entities. The Consolidated Entities and their Subsidiaries (each of which is an “Indemnified Party”) shall be indemnified and held
harmless, under the terms and conditions of this Agreement out of the Indemnity Holdback Escrow, from and against any and all Losses, whether or not relating to third parties, in excess of $1,000,000 arising out of or relating to, asserted against,
imposed upon or incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with or as a result of any breach of a representation or warranty of the Principals contained in this Agreement. 

Section 4.2 Escrow Claims. 
 (a) When any Indemnified Party learns of any potential Claim under this Agreement (an “Escrow Claim”) against the Principals, it promptly will give written notice (a “Claim
Notice”) to the Principals and to the Escrow Agent; provided, that failure to so notify the Principals or the Escrow Agent, as applicable, shall not prevent recovery under this Agreement, except to the extent that any Principal shall
have been materially prejudiced by such failure. Each Claim Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the facts known to the Indemnified Party giving rise to such Escrow Claim and the amount or good faith estimate of the amount of Losses arising
therefrom. Unless prohibited by Law, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Principals, promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party
relating to a Third Party Claim; provided, that failure to do so shall not prevent recovery under this Agreement, except to the extent that any Principal shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure. 

  
 11 

 (b) In determining value for a distribution from the Indemnity Holdback Escrow in respect of
an Escrow Claim, each OP Unit or share of Common Stock shall be valued at the IPO Price. 
 (c) The Principals shall be
entitled, at their own expense, to elect to assume and control the defense of any Escrow Claim based on Claims asserted by third parties (“Third Party Claims”), through counsel chosen by the Principals, if they give written notice
of their intention to do so to the Consolidated Entity giving the Claim Notice within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the applicable Claim Notice; provided, however, that the Indemnified Parties may at all times participate in such
defense at their own expense. Without limiting the foregoing, if the Principals exercise the right to undertake any such defense against a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Parties shall cooperate with the Principals in such defense and make
available to the Principals (unless prohibited by Law), at the Principals’ expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in such Indemnified Party’s possession or under the control of any Indemnified Party relating
thereto as is reasonably required by the Principals. No Principal shall be liable for any compromise or settlement of any Third Party Claim whatsoever that is effected without his/her written consent. No compromise or settlement of such Third Party
Claim may be effected by the Principals without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law and no effect on any
other Claims that may be made against such Indemnified Party, (ii) each Indemnified Party that is party to such Claim is released from all liability with respect to such Claim and (iii) there is no equitable order, judgment or term that in
any manner affects, restrains or interferes with the business of the Indemnified Party that is party to such claim or any of its Affiliates. If the Principals do not assume and control the defense of any Escrow Claim based on a Third Party Claim as
provided for in this Section 4.2(c), any Indemnified Party may undertake the defense against such Third Party Claim at the Principals’ expense; provided, however, that the Principals shall, in connection with any one such
action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable only for the reasonable fees and expenses (charged at standard, non-premium rates) of
one counsel at any time for all such Indemnified Parties (in addition to one local counsel). 
 Section 4.3 Delivery and
Release of Indemnity Escrow with Respect to Escrow Claims. Upon resolution of any Escrow Claim or portion of an Escrow Claim as evidenced by a joint written instruction of the Company, on the one hand, and any Principal, on the other hand, in
which an officer of the Company and a Principal each certify that the instruction has been approved by either (a) Consolidated Entities and the Principals in accordance with Section 4.6, respectively or (b) a final award of an
arbitral tribunal which is not subject to appeal in accordance with this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall release the amount of Indemnity Holdback Amount to the Consolidated Entities or the Principals, as the case may be, set forth therein. Upon
any disbursement from the Indemnity Holdback Escrow pursuant to this Agreement, the Consolidated Entities will purchase (at a price per OP Unit or share of Common Stock equal to the IPO Price) such number of the securities as will permit the Escrow
Agent to distribute cash in lieu of any fractional shares. 

  
 12 

 Section 4.4 Delivery and Release of Indemnity Escrow After Expiration Date.
Within ten (10) days after the Expiration Date, and at the end of each calendar quarter thereafter while any Indemnity Holdback Amount remains in the Indemnity Holdback Escrow, the Consolidated Entities shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a
notice which shall set forth a list of any outstanding Escrow Claims, together with a good faith estimate of the maximum value (expressed in dollars) of each such Escrow Claim and the aggregate amount of such values that would be allocated against
the Indemnity Holdback Escrow in accordance with Section 4.2(b) if the actual amount of Losses in respect of each such Escrow Claim were equal to such good faith estimate of the maximum value thereof. Any consideration in the Indemnity
Holdback Escrow in excess of the aggregate value of the outstanding Escrow Claims shall be released from the Indemnity Holdback Escrow to the Principals within twenty (20) days after the Expiration Date, and at the end of each calendar quarter
thereafter while any Indemnity Holdback Amount remains in the Indemnity Holdback Escrow. 
 Section 4.5 Exclusive
Remedy. The sole and exclusive remedy for Indemnified Parties relating to a breach of this Agreement (other than breaches arising out of or in connection with actual fraud) shall be recovery from the Indemnity Holdback Escrow in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Principals shall not be liable or obligated to make payments under this Agreement to the extent such payments in the aggregate exceed the Indemnity Holdback Amount. 

Section 4.6 Authorization. For purposes of this Article IV, a decision, act, consent, election or instruction of the
Principals shall be deemed to be authorized if approved by Anthony E. Malkin on behalf of the Principals (and if Anthony E. Malkin is no longer available, then by the other Principals). The Escrow Agent and the Consolidated Entities, including their
respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, hereby are relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent, election or instruction. The Principals from time
to time by written notice to the Consolidated Entities may appoint a representative or representatives to exercise such powers with respect to one or more Claims as may be delegated by the Principals. 

Section 4.7 Indemnity Payments. All indemnity payments made hereunder shall be treated as adjustments to the consideration
received by the Principals under the Consolidation Transaction Documents for federal income tax purposes.
