GUARANTY OF RECOURSE OBLIGATIONS

This GUARANTY OF RECOURSE OBLIGATIONS (this “Guaranty”) is executed as of February 28, 2014 by ALEXANDER’S INC., a Delaware corporation, having an address at 210 Route 4 East, Paramus, New Jersey 07652 (together with successors and/or assigns, “Guarantor”), for the benefit of GERMAN AMERICAN CAPITAL CORPORATION, a Maryland corporation, having an address at 60 Wall Street, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10005 (collectively, together with its successors and/or assigns, “Lender”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

A. Pursuant to that certain Consolidated, Amended and Restated Promissory Note, dated of even date herewith, executed by 731 OFFICE ONE LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), and payable to the order of Lender in the original principal amount of THREE HUNDRED MILLION and No/100 Dollars ($300,000,000.00) (together with all renewals, modifications, increases and extensions thereof, the “Note”), Borrower has become indebted, and may from time to time be further indebted, to Lender with respect to a loan (the “Loan”) which is made pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement, dated of even date herewith, between Borrower and Lender (as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

B. Lender is not willing to make the Loan, or otherwise extend credit, to Borrower unless Guarantor unconditionally guarantees the payment and performance to Lender of the Guaranteed Obligations (as herein defined).

C. Guarantor is the owner of direct or indirect interests in Borrower, and Guarantor will directly benefit from Lender’s making the Loan to Borrower.

NOW, THEREFORE, as an inducement to Lender to make the Loan to Borrower and to extend such additional credit as Lender may from time to time agree to extend under the Loan Documents, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties do hereby agree as follows:

# ARTICLE 1
NATURE AND SCOPE OF GUARANTY

### Section 1.1 Guaranty of Obligation

### (a) Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Lender and its successors and assigns the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined below) as and when the same shall be due and payable, whether by lapse of time, by acceleration of maturity or otherwise. Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally covenants and agrees that it is liable for the Guaranteed Obligations as a primary obligor.

###

### (b) As used herein, the term “Guaranteed Obligations” means (A) Borrower's Recourse Liabilities set forth in Section 10.1 of the Loan Agreement, and (B) from and after the date that any Springing Recourse Event occurs, payment of all of the Obligations.

### (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty or in any of the other Loan Documents, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have against Borrower under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Obligations or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Obligations owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents.

Section 1.2 Nature of Guaranty. This Guaranty is an irrevocable, absolute, continuing guaranty of payment and not a guaranty of collection. This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by Guarantor and after (if Guarantor is a natural person) Guarantor’s death (in which event this Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor’s estate and Guarantor’s legal representatives and heirs). The fact that at any time or from time to time the Guaranteed Obligations may be increased or reduced shall not release or discharge the obligation of Guarantor to Lender with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty may be enforced by Lender and any subsequent holder of the Note and shall not be discharged by the assignment or negotiation of all or part of the Note.

Section 1.3 Guaranteed Obligations Not Reduced by Offset. The Gu aranteed Obligations and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor to Lender hereunder shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of Borrower or any other party against Lender or against payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations (or the transactions creating the Guaranteed Obligations) or otherwise.

Section 1.4 Payment By Guarantor. If all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be punctually paid when due, whether at demand, maturity, acceleration or otherwise, Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand by Lender and, other than as expressly provided in the Loan Documents, without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of non-payment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, notice of acceleration of the maturity or any other notice whatsoever, all such notices being hereby waived by Guarantor, pay in lawful money of the United States of America, the amount due on the Guaranteed Obligations to Lender at Lender’s address as set forth herein. Such demand(s) may be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations and may be made from time to time with respect to the same or different items of Guaranteed Obligations. Such demand shall be deemed made, given and received in accordance with the notice provisions hereof.

Section 1.5 No Duty To Pursue Others. It shall not be necessary for Lender (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights which Guarantor may have to require Lender), in order to enforce the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, first to (i) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrower or others liable on the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) enforce Lender’s rights against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan, (iii) enforce Lender’s rights against any other guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations,

2

(iv) join Borrower or any others liable on the Guaranteed Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty, (v) exhaust any remedies available to Lender against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan, or (vi) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Lender shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 1.6 Waivers. Guarantor agrees to the provisions of the Loan Documents and hereby waives notice of (i) any loans or advances made by Lender to Borrower, (ii) acceptance of this Guaranty, (iii) any amendment or extension of the Note, the Mortgage, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iv) the execution and delivery by Borrower and Lender of any other loan or credit agreement or of Borrower’s execution and delivery of any promissory note or other document arising under the Loan Documents or in connection with the Property, (v) the occurrence of (A) any breach by Borrower of any of the terms or conditions of the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or (B) an Event of Default, (vi) Lender’s transfer or disposition of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, (vii) the sale or foreclosure (or the posting or advertising for the sale or foreclosure) of any collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, (viii) protest, proof of non-payment or default by Borrower, or (ix) any other action at any time taken or omitted by Lender and, generally, except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents, all demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Guaranty, the Loan Documents, any documents or agreements evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and/or the obligations hereby guaranteed.

Section 1.7 Payment of Expenses. In the event that Guarantor shall breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall, immediately within five (5) Business Days following demand by Lender, pay Lender all costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lender in the enforcement hereof, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date due, but without duplication of any such costs or expenses actually paid by Borrower. The covenant contained in this Section shall survive the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 1.8 Effect of Bankruptcy. In the event that pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other debtor relief law or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, Lender must rescind or restore any payment or any part thereof received by Lender in satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations, as set forth herein, any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty given to Guarantor by Lender shall be without effect and this Guaranty shall remain (or shall be reinstated to be) in full force and effect. It is the intention of Borrower and Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by Guarantor’s performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance.

Section 1.9 Waiver of Subrogation, Reimbursement and Contribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and abrogates any and all rights it may now or hereafter have under any agreement, at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Guarantor to the rights of Lender), to assert any claim against or seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from Borrower or any other party liable for the payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations for any payment made by Guarantor

3

under or in connection with this Guaranty or otherwise (it being understood that any such right, claim, remedy or benefit of Guarantor shall be available to it following the repayment in full of the Loan).

Section 1.10 Termination, This Guaranty shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the date which is ninety-one (91) days subsequent to the earlier of the date on which (x) the Loan has been paid and satisfied or defeased in full (exclusive of any indemnification or other obligations which pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents survive satisfaction or defeasance of the Note) or (y) the Lien of the Mortgage has been released in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall survive such termination with respect to any and all Guaranteed Obligations related to or arising from acts, events or circumstances which occurred prior to such date. Upon such termination, at the request of Guarantor, Lender shall deliver a written statement confirming the termination of this Guaranty, subject to and in accordance with this Section 1.10. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Guarantor shall not have any liability hereunder with respect to any acts, events or circumstances first arising after the date on which Lender or its agent, representative, designee or purchaser acquires title to the Property, whether through foreclosure, private power of sale or the delivery of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. In addition, in no event shall Guarantor have any liability hereunder with respect to any specific acts taken by any receiver, conservator, trustee or liquidator that is not an Affiliate of Guarantor and is appointed by or on behalf of Lender.

Section 3.1 Benefit. Guarantor is an Affiliate of Borrower, is the owner of a direct or indirect interest in Borrower and has received, or will receive, direct or indirect benefit from the making of this Guaranty with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.

6

Section 3.2 Familiarity and Reliance. Guarantor is familiar with, and has independently reviewed books and records regarding, the financial condition of Borrower and is familiar with the value of any and all collateral intended to be created as security for the payment of the Note or Guaranteed Obligations; however, Guarantor is not relying on such financial condition or the collateral as an inducement to enter into this Guaranty.

Section 3.3 No Representation By Lender. Neither Lender nor any other party has made any representation, warranty or statement to Guarantor in order to induce Guarantor to execute this Guaranty.

Section 3.4 Guarantor’s Financial Condition. As of the date hereof, and after giving effect to this Guaranty and the contingent obligation evidenced hereby, Guarantor (a) is and will be solvent, (b) has and will have assets which, fairly valued, exceed its obligations, liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and debts, and (c) has and will have property and assets sufficient to satisfy and repay its obligations and liabilities, including the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 3.5 Legality. The execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder do not and will not contravene or conflict with any law, statute or regulation whatsoever to which Guarantor is subject, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any indenture, mortgage, charge, lien, contract, agreement or other instrument to which Guarantor is a party or which may be applicable to Guarantor. This Guaranty is a legal and binding obligation of Guarantor and is enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights.

Section 3.6 Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to Guarantor’s knowledge, threatened against Guarantor in any court or by or before any other Governmental Authority, or labor controversy affecting Guarantor or any of its properties, businesses, assets or revenues, which would reasonably be expected to (i) materially and adversely affect the ability of Guarantor to pay and perform its obligations under this Guaranty or (ii) materially and adversely affect the financial condition of Guarantor.

Section 3.7 Survival. All representations and warranties made by Guarantor herein shall survive the execution hereof.

# ARTICLE 4
SUBORDINATION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS

Section 4.1 Subordination of All Guarantor Claims. As used herein, the term “Guarantor Claims” shall mean all debts and liabilities of Borrower to Guarantor, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, and whether the obligations of Borrower thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or liabilities be evidenced by note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or Persons in whose favor such debts or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be, created, or the manner in

7

which they have been, or may hereafter be, acquired by Guarantor. The Guarantor Claims shall include, without limitation, all rights and claims of Guarantor against Borrower (arising as a result of subrogation or otherwise) as a result of Guarantor’s payment of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations. So long as an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Guarantor shall not receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower any amount upon the Guarantor Claims.

Section 4.2 Claims in Bankruptcy. In the event of any receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief or other insolvency proceeding involving Guarantor as a debtor, Lender shall have the right to prove its claim in any such proceeding so as to establish its rights hereunder and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable upon Guarantor Claims. Guarantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to Lender. Should Lender receive, for application against the Guaranteed Obligations, any dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to Guarantor and which, as between Borrower and Guarantor, shall constitute a credit against the Guarantor Claims, then, upon payment to Lender in full of the Obligations and the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of Lender to the extent that such payments to Lender on the Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Guaranteed Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Guaranteed Obligations which would have been unpaid if Lender had not received dividends or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.

Section 4.3 Payments Held in Trust. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, in the event that Guarantor should receive any funds, payments, claims and/or distributions which are prohibited by this Guaranty, Guarantor agrees to hold in trust for Lender an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims and/or distributions so received, and agrees that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims and/or distributions so received except to pay such funds, payments, claims and/or distributions promptly to Lender, and Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to Lender.

Section 4.4 Liens Subordinate. Guarantor agrees that any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Guarantor Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of Guarantor or Lender presently exist or are hereafter created or attach. Without the prior written consent of Lender, Guarantor shall not (i) exercise or enforce any creditor’s rights it may have against Borrower, or (ii) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including, without limitation, the commencement of, or the joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, security interests, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances on the assets of Borrower held by Guarantor. The foregoing shall in no manner vitiate or amend, nor be deemed to vitiate or amend, any prohibition in the Loan Documents against Borrower granting liens or security interests in any of its assets to any Person other than Lender.
