                             AMENDED AND RESTATED

                                   --------

      A.    [              ] (the "Grantee") is an executive officer of
Reckson Associates Realty Corp. (the "Company") or one of its Affiliates.

      B.    Effective as of March 13, 2003, the Company's Board of Directors
adopted a long-term incentive plan ("LTIP") designed to provide the Company's
executive officers and certain other key senior employees with their incentive
compensation through March 2007.

      C.    The Grantee was selected by the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors of the Company to receive an award under the LTIP and
effective as of March 13, 2003, received a grant of _____ shares, of common
stock ($0.01 par value per share) of the Company (the "Common Stock") as a
core annual long-term incentive award (the "Core Award") and a grant of ____
shares of Common Stock as a special long-term incentive award.

      D.    Of the Core Award, as of the date of this Amendment, __________
shares of Common Stock have vested (the "Vested Core Shares") and _________
shares of Common Stock remain unvested (the "Unvested Core Shares" and
together with the Vested Core Shares, the "Core Shares").

      E.    The Company's Board of Directors has caused the Company's
subsidiary Reckson Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership
(the "Partnership") to adopt a long-term incentive plan (the "OP LTIP")
pursuant to which the Grantee is eligible to rescind his or her Unvested Core
Shares in exchange for a new grant under the OP LTIP.

      F.    The Grantee and the Company wish to amend the Amended and Restated
Long-Term Incentive Award Agreement dated as of May 28, 2003 (the "Award
Agreement"), as set forth herein.

      NOW, THEREFORE, the Grantee and the Company hereby amend the Award
Agreement as follows:

                  A.    Vesting of the Core Shares. The Vested Core Shares
            shall remain cumulatively vested and transferable.

                  B.    Unvested Core Shares. The Unvested Core Shares as of
            the date of this Amendment are hereby forfeited, canceled,
            terminated and null, void and of no further effect. The Grantee
            acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee shall have no further
            rights or benefits with respect to such Unvested Core Shares.

<PAGE>

                  C.    Payment of Dividends. Any and all rights to the
            dividends that have accrued and are unpaid as of the date hereof
            with respect to the Core Shares shall continue to be subject to be
            held as provided in Section 6 of the Award Agreement; provided,
            however that on the Annual Vesting Date when any Unvested Core
            Shares would have become Vested Core Shares pursuant to Section
            3(b) of the Award Agreement, the Grantee shall receive a one-time
            cash payment which shall represent the full amount of all such
            accrued dividends under the Award Agreement. After the date
            hereof, no further dividends will accrue with respect to the
            Unvested Core Shares.

                  D.    All Other Terms. The Award Agreement shall remain in
            full force and effect except as expressly modified or amended by
            this Amendment. Any conflict between the Award Agreement and this
            Amendment shall be governed and construed in accordance with the
            provisions of this Amendment.

                                   --------

       A. The Grantee is an executive officer of Reckson Associates Realty
 Corp. (the "Company") or one of its Affiliates.

       B. Effective as of March 13, 2003, the Company's Board of Directors
 adopted a long-term incentive plan ("LTIP") designed to provide the Company's
 Executive Officers and certain other key senior employees with their
 incentive compensation through March 2007.

       C. The Grantee was selected by the Compensation Committee of the Board
 of Directors of the Company (the "Committee") to receive an award under the
 LTIP and effective as of March 13, 2003, received a grant of _____ shares, of
 common stock ($0.01 par value per share) of the Company (the "Common Stock")
 as a core annual long-term incentive award (the "Core Award").

       D. Of the Core Award, __________ restricted shares of Common Stock have
 vested (the "Vested Core Award") and _________ restricted shares of Common
 Stock remain unvested (the "Unvested Core Award".)

       E. The Company's Board of Directors has caused the Company's subsidiary
 Reckson Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
 "Partnership"), to adopt a long-term incentive plan (the "OP LTIP") pursuant
 to which the Grantee is eligible to rescind his or her Unvested Core Award in
 exchange for a new grant (the "Substitute OP Award") under the OP LTIP
 pursuant to the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership, dated as
 of June 2, 1995, as amended through the date hereof (the "Partnership
 Agreement"), in the form of a Partnership Interest (as defined in the
 Partnership Agreement) having the rights, voting powers, restrictions,
 limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of
 redemption set forth herein and in the Amendment to the Partnership Agreement
 attached hereto as Annex A (the "ALP Amendment"), such Partnership Interest
 to be expressed as a number of Partnership Units (as defined in the
 Partnership Agreement) which shall be referred to as Long-Term Incentive
 Units ("LTIP OP Units"). Upon acceptance of this Long-Term Incentive Plan OP
 Unit Award Agreement (the "Agreement"), the Grantee shall receive the number
 of LTIP OP Units specified above, subject to the restrictions and conditions
 set forth herein and in the Partnership Agreement.

<PAGE>

            NOW, THEREFORE, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee,
effective as of the Date of Grant specified above, the number of LTIP OP Units
listed above subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

      1.    Acceptance:

            (a)   The Grantee shall have no rights with respect to this
Agreement and this Agreement shall be revocable by the Grantee until he or she
shall have accepted this Agreement prior to the close of business on the Final
Acceptance Date specified above by (i) signing and delivering to the
Partnership a copy of this Agreement, (ii) signing and delivering an amendment
to the Grantee's Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Award Agreement with
respect to the recission of his or her Unvested Core Award (attached hereto as
Annex B), and (iii) unless the Grantee is already a Limited Partner (as
defined in the Partnership Agreement), signing, as a Limited Partner, and
delivering to the Partnership a counterpart signature page to the Partnership
Agreement (attached hereto as Annex C). Upon acceptance of this Agreement by
the Grantee, the Partnership Agreement shall be amended to reflect the
issuance to the Grantee of the LTIP OP Units so accepted and the Partnership
shall deliver to the Grantee a certificate of the Company certifying the
number of LTIP OP Units then issued to the Grantee. Thereupon, the Grantee
shall have all the rights of a Limited Partner of the Partnership with respect
to the number of LTIP OP Units specified above, as set forth in the
Partnership Agreement, subject, however, to the restrictions and conditions
specified in Section 2 below.

            (b)   The LTIP OP Units will not be granted under the Company's
2002 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") and the OP has been established as an
incentive program of the Partnership. Accordingly, the Grantee must be
eligible to receive the Substitute OP Award in compliance with applicable
Federal and state securities laws and to that effect is required to complete,
execute and deliver certain Covenants, Representations and Warranties
(attached as Annex D). However, the Committee may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, seek to have the OP LTIP become part of the Plan at a future time,
whereby the Substitute OP Award would become an award under the Plan, the LTIP
OP Units will be made convertible into Class A common operating partnership
units of the Partnership ("OPU") and the terms and conditions set forth in the
ALP Amendment under the heading "Right to Convert LTIP Units into Common
Units" will become operative. The Grantee acknowledges that if Committee
elects, in its sole discretion, to cause the LTIP OP Units to become
convertible into OPU, the terms of the LTIP OP Units will change as provided
in the ALP Amendment and the Grantee will have no right to approve or
disapprove such change. In this regard, the Company agrees that (i) the shares
of the Company's Common Stock previously granted to the Grantee pursuant to
the Unvested Core Award shall be reserved under the Plan in connection with
the possible activation of the OP Conversion Feature of the LTIP OP Units, and
(ii) such shares shall not be available for other awards under the Plan.

      2.    Restrictions and Conditions:

            (a)   The records of the Partnership evidencing the LTIP OP Units
granted herein shall bear an appropriate legend, as determined by the
Partnership in its sole discretion, to

                                       2
<PAGE>

the effect that such LTIP OP Units are subject to restrictions as set forth
herein, in the ALP Amendment and in the Partnership Agreement.

            (b)   None of the LTIP OP Units awarded to the Grantee hereunder
shall be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given away or in
any other manner disposed of, encumbered, whether voluntarily or by operation
of law, or redeemed in accordance with the Partnership Agreement or the ALP
Amendment (a) prior to vesting, (b) for a period of two (2) years beginning on
Date of Grant specified above other than in connection with a
Change-in-Control, or (c) unless such transfer is in compliance with all
applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities
Act), and such disposition is in accordance with the applicable terms and
conditions of the Partnership Agreement and the ALP Amendment. In connection
with any transfer of LTIP OP Units, the Company may require the transferor to
provide at the Grantee's own expense an opinion of counsel to the transferor,
satisfactory to the Company, that such transfer is in compliance with all
foreign, federal and state securities laws (including, without limitation, the
Securities Act). Any attempted disposition of LTIP OP Units not in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Section 2(b) shall be null and void, and
the Partnership shall not reflect on its records any change in record
ownership of any LTIP OP Units as a result of any such disposition, shall
otherwise refuse to recognize any such disposition and shall not in any way
give effect to any such disposition of any LTIP OP Units.

            (c)   Except as otherwise provided in Section 3 hereof or
elsewhere herein, if the Grantee's employment with the Company or its
Affiliates is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated for any reason prior to
vesting of the LTIP Units granted herein, the Grantee shall forfeit all LTIP
Units that are not vested as of the date of such termination of employment.

      3.    Vesting of the LTIP OP Units: The LTIP OP Units generally will
become vested as follows:

            (a)   8.333% of the LTIP OP Units will become cumulatively vested
on each of the first three anniversaries of the Date of Grant (each such
anniversary hereinafter referred to as an "Annual Vesting Date"); in each case
provided that the Grantee remains in continuous employment with the Company or
any of its Affiliates until such date.

            (b)   25.0% of the LTIP OP Units will become cumulatively vested
on each of the Annual Vesting Dates; in each case provided that the Grantee
remains in continuous employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates
until such date; and provided, further, that any LTIP OP Units which otherwise
would become vested on such Annual Vesting Date will not become so vested
unless the Company has achieved, with regard to each Annual Vesting Date,
during the last calendar year completed immediately preceding the applicable
Annual Vesting Date, a total return to shareholders (including all Common
Stock dividends and stock appreciation) based on the respective Annual Core
Base Price that either (i) is at or above the 50th percentile of the total
return to shareholders achieved by members of the Peer Group during the same
period, or (ii) subject to the provisions of Section 3(f), equals a total
return of at least 9% per annum. If the vesting performance requirement is not
satisfied for a given annual period other than the calendar year immediately
preceding the third Annual Vesting Date, the LTIP OP

                                       3
<PAGE>

Units from such year or years will not be forfeited and will become vested on
any subsequent Annual Vesting Date on which the vesting performance
requirement applicable to such LTIP OP Units is satisfied on a cumulative and
compounded basis as measured for an extended performance period beginning with
the annual period for which the vesting performance requirement was not
satisfied through the calendar year ended immediately preceding the relevant
Annual Vesting Date. If necessary, this cumulative and compounded method of
satisfying the vesting performance requirement will continue to be applied on
a look-back basis on each calendar year end until the end of the three-year
vesting performance period (i.e., through the end of the calendar year
immediately preceding the third Annual Vesting Date) at which time any LTIP OP
Units subject to vesting under this Section 3(b) that have not become vested
shall become vested if at such date the vesting performance requirement is
satisfied on a cumulative and compounded basis for an extended performance
period commencing on March 13, 2003 and measured through the calendar year
ended immediately preceding the third Annual Vesting Date based upon the
Initial Core Base Price. For purposes of this Section, (i) the performance of
the Company relative to the performance of members of the Peer Group will be
determined using the VWAP for the last ten trading days of the Company's
Common Stock and the common stock of the members of the Peer Group at the
applicable calendar year end, and (ii) the per annum percentage performance of
the Company will be determined using the VWAP for the last ten trading days
for the period ending at the applicable calendar year end.

            (c)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change-in-Control occurs
prior to the third Annual Vesting Date and the Grantee remains in continuous
employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates until such occurrence,
all non-vested LTIP OP Units will thereupon become fully vested provided that,
if (i) a Change-in-Control shall occur and (a) the Company continues in
existence as a public company or (b) another company is the successor to the
Company in a transaction whereby holders of Common Stock receive common stock
of the successor company (or a combination of common stock and cash) and such
successor company expressly assumes the obligations of the Company as the
general partner of the Partnership, and (ii) a Change-in-Control occurs and
(a) the Partnership continues in existence as the operating partnership of the
Company (in the event described in clause (i)(a) above) or (b) another limited
partnership, limited liability company or similar entity is the successor to
the Partnership in a transaction whereby holders of OPU and LTIP OP Units
receive equity interests in such successor entity having substantially
identical rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to
distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption as the
OPU and LTIP OP Units, respectively, and expressly assumes the obligations
under this Agreement, and (iii) the Grantee continues employment with the
Company or such successor company or their Affiliates, as the case may be, and
a Force Out does not occur, then no vesting shall occur under this Section
3(c) as a result of such Change-in-Control, but this Agreement and the awards
hereunder shall continue in effect on the terms hereof, subject to the
adjustment of the Annual Core Base Price as may be appropriate pursuant to
Section 7 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change-in-Control
occurs, subsequent to the calendar year end immediately preceding the third
Annual Vesting Date and prior to the third Annual Vesting Date, it shall have
no effect upon the vesting (or not) of the LTIP OP Units (i.e., if the vesting
performance requirements of Section 3(b) were satisfied at the calendar year
end immediately preceding the third Annual Vesting Date

                                       4
<PAGE>

any unvested LTIP OP Units shall vest upon such Change-in-Control and, if such
vesting performance requirements were not satisfied then any remaining LTIP OP
Units shall not vest.)

            (d)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grantee's employment
with the Company and all Affiliates is terminated prior to the third Annual
Vesting Date by reason of the Grantee's death or Disability, by the Grantee
for Good Reason, or by the Company or any Affiliate for any reason other than
Cause or transfer to another Affiliate, all non-vested LTIP OP Units will
thereupon become fully vested. If the Grantee's employment with the Company
and all Affiliates is terminated prior to the third Annual Vesting Date for
any other reason, any LTIP OP Units that have not yet become vested will
thereupon be forfeited.

            (e)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grantee remains in
continuous employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates until an
applicable Annual Vesting Date but the vesting performance requirement is not
satisfied for the calendar year end immediately preceding such date (or any
extended performance period as contemplated in Section 3(b) above), and if the
Committee determines that it nevertheless would be consistent with the spirit
and intent of this Agreement to vest some or all of the LTIP OP Units that
otherwise would have become vested on that Annual Vesting Date, then the
Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may elect to vest some or all
of such LTIP OP Units.

            (f)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (i) the
LTIP OP Units would become vested as a result of the Company achieving a total
return of at least 9% per annum in accordance with the terms of Section 3(b),
(ii) the appreciation in the share price of the Common Stock alone has not
resulted in the Company achieving such a 9% per annum total return (i.e.,
without taking into account any dividends paid to holders of Common Stock),
and (iii) the Company's Dividend Payout Ratio with regard to its Cash
Available for Distribution exceeds 100% for any relevant annual period or
periods, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, review whether it is
appropriate for the LTIP OP Units to vest for such period or periods, and may
determine that the LTIP OP Units shall not vest, in whole or in part, based
upon such facts as it deems appropriate including, but not limited to, the
effect on the Dividend Payout Ratio of rent concessions, tenant improvements,
capital expenditures by the Company and similar matters that represent uses of
operating cash flow for the purpose of generating incremental cash flow or
other returns for the Company.

      4.    Distributions. Distributions on the LTIP OP Units shall be paid
currently to the Grantee in accordance with the terms of the Partnership
Agreement.

      5.    Adjustment. The Committee will make or provide for such
adjustments in the number of LTIP OP Units and the vesting performance
requirements applicable to LTIP OP Units, as the Committee may in good faith
determine to be equitably required in order to prevent any dilution or
expansion of the rights of the Grantee that otherwise would result from (i)
any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization or
similar change in the capital structure of the Company or similar events with
respect to the partnership interests in the Partnership or (ii) any merger,
consolidation, spin-off, spin-out, split-off, split-up, reorganization,
partial or complete liquidation or other distribution of assets, issuance of
warrants

                                       5
<PAGE>

or other rights to purchase securities or any other transaction or event
having an effect similar to any of the foregoing.

      6.    Compliance With Law. The Partnership and the Grantee will make
reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable securities laws. In addition,
notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no LTIP OP
Units will become vested or be paid at a time that such vesting or payment
would result in a violation of any such law.

      7.    Investment Representation; Registration.

            (a)   The Grantee hereby makes the covenants, representations and
warranties and set forth on Annex D attached hereto. All of such covenants,
warranties and representations shall survive the execution and delivery of
this Agreement by the Grantee. The Grantee shall immediately notify the
Partnership upon discovering that any of the representations or warranties set
forth on Annex D were false when made or have, as a result of changes in
circumstances, become false.

            (b)   The Partnership may make a notation in its records and/or
affix a legend to the certificates (if any) representing the LTIP OP Units
issued pursuant to this Agreement to the effect that such units have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") and may
only be sold or transferred upon registration or pursuant to an exemption
therefrom.

            (c)   The Partnership will have no obligation to register under
the Securities Act any LTIP OP Units or any other securities issued pursuant
to this Agreement or upon conversion or exchange of LTIP OP Units.

      8.    Severability. In the event that one or more of the provisions of
this Agreement may be invalidated for any reason by a court, any provision so
invalidated will be deemed to be separable from the other provisions hereof,
and the remaining provisions hereof will continue to be valid and fully

      reasonable judgment, does not represent a promotion from or maintaining
      of Grantee's duties, responsibilities, status or positions as in effect
      immediately prior to the Change-in-Control, or any removal of Grantee
      from or any failure to reappoint or reelect Grantee to such positions,

      by the Company or such successor company which would adversely affect
      Grantee's continued participation in any of such benefit plans, programs
      or arrangements on at least as favorable a basis to Grantee as is the

      enjoyed by Grantee at the time of the Change-in-Control.
