RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company intends to conduct an initial public offering (the “IPO”) of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Company Common Stock”), of the Company, which will operate as a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) within the meaning of Sections 856 through 860 of the Code;

WHEREAS, in connection with the IPO, the Company, which is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, desires to engage in a series of transactions through which the Company and the Operating Partnership will acquire their initial portfolio of properties and other assets that they intend to own following the IPO (collectively, the “Formation Transactions”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Contribution, Assignment and Assumption Agreement, dated as of [ ], 2014, PGREF V (Core) Parallel Fund (Cayman), L.P., a Cayman limited partnership (“Fund V Cayman”) contributed all of its assets and liabilities to Fund V Cayman Sub REIT;

WHEREAS, the Contributor intends to make an election to be treated as a REIT for its taxable year ending December 31, 2014;

WHEREAS, the Contributor owns, directly or indirectly, interests (the “Property Interests”) in the properties set forth on Exhibit A hereto, under the heading “Fund V Cayman Sub REIT” (each, a “Property” and together the “Properties”);

WHEREAS, as part of the Formation Transactions, pursuant to this Agreement, the Contributor shall contribute to the Operating Partnership all of its assets (other than Excluded Assets) and liabilities (the “Contributed Interests”) and the Operating Partnership shall acquire from the Contributor all of the Contributor’s right, title and interest in the Contributed Interests;

WHEREAS, at the Closing, the Contributor acknowledges that the Company will deposit the number of OP Units set forth on Schedule 1.02 under the heading “Fund V Cayman Sub REIT” as the Indemnity Holdback Amount, which represents approximately 1.5% of the Unit Consideration (collectively, the “Indemnity Holdback Amount”), into an Indemnity Holdback Escrow (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) pursuant to that certain Omnibus Distribution and Escrow Agent Agreement, entered into by the parties and the distribution agent (the “Distribution Agent”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Escrow Agreement”) in order to provide for the exclusive remedy against the Contributor and its investors (in their capacities as such) for any breaches of this Agreement by the Contributor;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Contributor has executed and delivered a lock-up agreement to the underwriters of the IPO, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Lock-up Agreement”);

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company has entered into a registration rights agreement with the Contributor (the “Registration Rights Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, prior to or concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company or the Operating Partnership, as the case may be, together with the applicable counterparties have entered into the Formation Transaction Documentation.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants and other terms contained in this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged and agreed, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

CONTRIBUTION

Section 1.01 Contribution Transaction; Assignment and Assumption.

(a) At the Closing and subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the Contributor shall contribute, assign, set over, deliver and transfer to the Operating Partnership absolutely and unconditionally and free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), all of its right, title and interest in and to the Contributed Interests, including all rights of the Contributor under the agreements pursuant to which the Contributor acquired the Contributed Interests transferred pursuant to this Agreement. The contribution of the Contributed Interests shall be evidenced by the execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit D attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”).

(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 1.01(a) to the contrary, the Contributor shall not contribute, assign, set over, deliver or transfer any of Contributor’s right, title and interest to any assets of the Contributor set forth in Schedule 1.01 under the heading “Fund V Cayman Sub REIT” (“Excluded Assets”).

Section 1.02 Consideration. At the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, in exchange for the transfer of the Contributed Interests, the Operating Partnership shall issue to the Contributor the number of OP Units set forth on Schedule 1.02 under the heading “Fund V Cayman Sub REIT” (the “Unit Consideration”). No fractional OP Units shall be issued to the Contributor pursuant to this Agreement. If aggregating all OP Units that the Contributor otherwise would be entitled to receive pursuant to this Agreement would require the issuance of a fractional OP Unit, the Contributor shall instead be entitled to receive one full OP Unit in lieu of such fractional OP Unit.

Section 1.03 Further Action.

(a) If, following the Closing, the Operating Partnership shall determine or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, assurances or other actions or things are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Operating Partnership the right, title or interest in or to the Contributed Interests, the Contributor shall execute and deliver all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments and assurances and take and do all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title and interest in the Contributed Interests or otherwise to carry out this Agreement; provided, that the Contributor shall not be obligated to take any action or execute any document if the additional actions or documents impose additional liabilities, obligations, covenants, responsibilities, representations or warranties on the Contributor that are not contemplated by this Agreement or reasonably inferable by the terms herein.

(b) If, following the Closing, the Contributor shall determine or be advised that any documentation or other actions or things are necessary or desirable to give effect to the transactions contemplated by the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Operating Partnership shall execute and deliver all such documentation and take and do all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to give effect to the transactions contemplated by the Assignment and Assumption Agreement; provided, that the Operating Partnership shall not be obligated to take any action or execute any document if the additional actions or documents impose additional liabilities, obligations, covenants, responsibilities, representations or warranties on the Operating Partnership that are not contemplated by this Agreement or reasonably inferable by the terms herein.

Section 1.04 Transaction Costs. If the Closing occurs, the Operating Partnership shall be solely responsible for all transaction costs and expenses of the Operating Partnership and the Contributor that have not previously been paid in connection with this Agreement, which include, but are not limited to, lender consent fees, legal, accounting and consultant fees. To the extent the Operating Partnership pays any such costs or expenses of the Contributor, such payment shall be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a reimbursement of the Contributor’s preformation expenditures, as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-4(d), to the extent permitted by applicable Laws.

Section 1.05 Prorations. There shall be no prorations at the Closing for any income and expense items with respect to the Properties.

Section 1.06 Tax Treatment of Contribution. The contribution, transfer, conveyance and assignment of the Contributed Interests to the Operating Partnership from the Contributor is intended to be treated as a transaction qualifying in whole or in part under Section 721(a) of the Code.

Section 1.07 Section 704(c) Method. The Operating Partnership shall use the “remedial method” described in Treasury Regulation § 1.704-3(d) for purposes of making allocations under

Section 704(c) of the Code with respect to any book-tax disparities in connection with the Contributed Interests and underlying Properties at the time of their contribution to the Operating Partnership.

Section 2.08 Tax Withholding. The Operating Partnership shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, from the consideration payable (or deemed payable) as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to the Contributor, such amounts as the Operating Partnership is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law (as determined by the Operating Partnership in its sole discretion).

Section 4.05 Taxes.

(a) The Contributor, each Contributor Subsidiary and JV Entity has timely filed all Tax Returns required to be filed by it (after giving effect to any filing extension properly granted by a Governmental Authority having authority to do so) in accordance with all applicable Laws.

(d) Upon the contribution of the Contributed Interests, the Contributor will be organized in a manner so as to qualify for taxation as a REIT pursuant to Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. The Contributor will make an election to be treated, and will operate in a manner that will allow it to qualify, as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the taxable year that includes the contribution of the Contributed Interests.

Section 4.06 No Violation. None of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, any agreement contemplated hereby between the parties to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby between the parties to this Agreement 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 the Contributor, any Contributor Subsidiary or any JV Entity (b) any agreement, document or instrument to which the Contributor, any Contributor Subsidiary or any JV Entity is a party or by which the Contributor, any Contributor Subsidiary or any JV Entity are bound or (c) any term or provision of any judgment, order, writ, injunction, or decree binding on the Contributor, any Contributor Subsidiary or any JV Entity (or its assets or properties), except, in the case of clause (b) and (c), any such breaches or defaults that would not reasonably be expected to have a Contributor Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.07 Solvency. The Contributor has been and will be solvent at all times prior the transfer of the Contributed Interests to the Operating Partnership. No bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceeding has been filed or is currently contemplated by the Contributor, any Contributor Subsidiary or any JV Entity thereof.

Section 4.08 Litigation. Except for actions, suits or proceedings covered by the policies of insurance described in Section 4.11, as of the date hereof, there is no action, suit or proceeding pending or, to the Contributor’s Knowledge, threatened against the Contributor, any Contributor Subsidiary or any JV Entity which, if adversely determined, would, individually or together with all such other actions, reasonably be expected to have a Contributor Material Adverse Effect. As of the date hereof, there is no action, suit or proceeding pending or, to the Contributor’s Knowledge, threatened against the Contributor, any Contributor Subsidiary or any JV Entity which challenges or impairs the ability of the Contributor to execute or deliver, or perform its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 4.09 Licenses and Permits. To the Contributor’s Knowledge, all notices, licenses, permits, certificates and authorizations required for the continued use, occupancy, management, leasing and operation of the Properties have been obtained or can be obtained without material cost, are in full force and effect, are in good standing and (to the extent required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) are assignable to the Operating Partnership, except in each case for items that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Contributor Material Adverse Effect. To the Contributor’s Knowledge, neither the Contributor, any Contributor Subsidiary, any JV Entity 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, have a Contributor Material Adverse Effect, nor has any of them received within the past one year any written notice of violation from any Governmental Authority or written notice of the intention of any entity to revoke any of them, that in each case has not been cured or otherwise resolved to the satisfaction of such Governmental Authority and that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Contributor Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.10 Properties.

of the fee simple estate (or, in the case of certain Properties, the leasehold estate) of such Property, in each case free and clear of all Liens except for Permitted Liens and Liens, if any, given to secure mortgage indebtedness encumbering such Property. Prior to the effective time of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, no Contributor Subsidiary or JV Entity shall take or omit to take any action to cause any Lien to attach to any Property, except for Permitted Liens and Liens, if any, given to secure mortgage indebtedness encumbering such Property.

(b) Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Contributor Material Adverse Effect, (i) no Contributor Subsidiary, JV Entity, nor any other party to any agreement affecting any Property to which the Contributor, a Contributor Subsidiary or JV Entity is a party (other than a Lease (as such term is hereinafter defined) for space within such Property), has given or received any notice of default with respect to any term or condition of any such agreement, including, without limitation, any ground lease, (ii) no event has occurred or has been threatened in writing, which with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would, individually or together with all such other events, constitute a default under any such agreement, or would, individually or together with all such other events, reasonably be expected to cause the acceleration of any material obligation of any party thereto or the creation of a Lien upon any asset of any Contributor Subsidiary or JV Entity, except for Permitted Liens, and (iii) all agreements affecting any Property required for the continued use, occupancy, management, leasing and operation of such Property (exclusive of space leases) are valid and binding and in full force and effect.

(e) Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Contributor Material Adverse Effect, each of the Leases to which the Contributor, any Contributor Subsidiary or any JV Entity is a party or by which the Contributor, any Contributor Subsidiary, any JV Entity or any Property is bound or subject, is in full force and effect, and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Contributor or the applicable Contributor Subsidiary or JV Entity, and to the Contributor’s Knowledge, each other party thereto, enforceable against each Contributor Subsidiary or JV Entity, and to the Contributor’s 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).

(f) To the Contributor’s Knowledge, except as previously disclosed to the Company or the Operating Partnership, 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 Contributor Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.11 Insurance. The Contributor or the applicable Contributor Subsidiary or JV Entity has in place the public liability, casualty and other insurance coverage with respect to each Property as the Contributor reasonably deems necessary.

(a) The Contributor is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act).

Any indemnification payment made by the Company or the Operating Partnership to the Contributor Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in OP Units, the number of which shall equal the dollar value of the indemnification payment divided by the OP Unit Value on the date of such indemnification payment.

Section 5.02 Contributor Indemnification. Subject to the indemnification limitations set forth in this Agreement, from and after the Closing Date, the Indemnity Holdback Amount shall be used to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Operating Partnership and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives and Affiliates (each of which is a “Company Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Losses in excess of the greater of (i) 4.5% of the Indemnity Holdback Amount or (ii) $250,000, in each case in the aggregate, arising out of or relating to, asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by such Company Indemnified Party in connection with or as a result of any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant of the Contributor or in any schedule, exhibit, certificate or affidavit or any other document delivered by the Contributor pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the Contributor shall not have any obligation under this Section 5.02 to indemnify any Company Indemnified Party against any Losses to the extent that such Losses arise by virtue of the Company’s or the Operating Partnership’s breach of this Agreement, gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud; provided further, however, that, to the extent such Losses relate to breach of a representation, warranty or covenant of the Contributor regarding a Person or the assets and

liabilities of a Person that the Company or the Operating Partnership has or acquires an interest in from a Person other than the Contributor, the indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be limited to the portion of such Losses attributable to the interest acquired from the Contributor pursuant to this Agreement. The Contributor hereby grants to the Operating Partnership a security interest in the OP Units held as the Indemnity Holdback Amount to secure the indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 5.02.

Section 5.03 Notice of Claims At the time when any Contributor Indemnified Party or Company Indemnified Party, as applicable, (as applicable, an “Indemnified Party”) learns of any potential claim (a “Claim”) under this Article V that is asserted against the Indemnified Party that is subject to indemnification by the Company or the Operating Partnership or by the Contributor from the Indemnity Holdback Amount, as applicable, under this Article V (as applicable, the “Indemnifying Party”), such Indemnified Party will promptly give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party (or in the case of the Company Indemnified Parties, to the Equity Holders’ Representative); provided that failure to do so shall not prevent recovery under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party 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 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 Indemnifying Party (or in the case of the Company Indemnified Parties, to the Equity Holders’ Representative), 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 (defined below), and failure to do so shall prevent recovery under this Agreement to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure.

Section 5.04 Third Party Claims. The Indemnifying Party (through the Equity Holders’ Representative in the event the Indemnified Party is a Company Indemnified Party) shall be entitled, at its own expense, to assume and control the defense of any Claims based on claims asserted by third parties (“Third Party Claims”), through counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party (or in the case of the Company Indemnified Parties, by the Equity Holders’ Representative), if it gives written notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Parties within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the applicable Claim Notice; provided, however, that the Indemnified Parties may at all times participate in such defense at their expense provided, further, that if any such Third Party Claim relates to Taxes of the Contributor, any Contributor Subsidiary or any JV Entity or seeks non-monetary damages or asserts damages in excess of the Indemnity Holdback Amount against a Company Indemnified Party, then, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company (or a Subsidiary of the Company) shall have the right to control any such Third Party Claim. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party (unless prohibited by Law), at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. No compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim may be effected by either the Indemnified Party, on the one hand, or the Indemnifying Party (or in the case of the Company Indemnified Parties, the Equity Holders’ Representative), on the

other hand, without the other’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless (a) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law and no effect on any other claims that may be made against such other party and (b) each Indemnified Party that is party to such claim is released from all liability with respect to such claim; provided that the Equity Holders’ Representative shall be deemed to have consented to any proposed compromise or settlement to which it has not objected to by written notice within 30 days after notice of such proposed compromise or settlement was provided by a Company Indemnified Party.

Section 5.05 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties of the Contributor, the Company and the Operating Partnership, as applicable, contained in this Agreement shall survive after the Closing until the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Expiration Date”). If written notice of a Claim in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.03 has been given prior to the Expiration Date, then the relevant representation and 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.

Section 5.06 Establishment of Indemnity Holdback Escrow. On the Closing Date, the Operating Partnership shall deposit the Indemnity Holdback Amount in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement. The Operating Partnership agrees that the OP Units that comprise the Indemnity Holdback Amount may be released, or collateral may be substituted for such OP Units, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

Section 5.07 Exclusive Remedy.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 2.08 and 6.03, the sole and exclusive remedy for Company Indemnified Parties for any breach, misrepresentation or other matters relating to or arising in connection with this Agreement and any of the agreements, documents or instruments executed and delivered in connection herewith and any of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Article V and the Contributor 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.

(b) The sole and exclusive remedy for Contributor Indemnified Parties for any breach, misrepresentation or other matters relating to or arising in connection with this Agreement and any of the agreements, documents or instruments executed and delivered in connection herewith and any of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Article V and the Company shall not be liable or obligated to make payments under this Agreement to the extent such payments in the aggregate exceed the dollar amount obtained by multiplying the number of OP Units included in the Indemnity Holdback Amount by the Price to the Public (the “Company Cap”).

Section 5.08 Tax Treatment. All indemnity payments made hereunder shall be treated as adjustments to the consideration paid hereunder for U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Laws.

OMNIBUS DISTRIBUTION AND ESCROW AGENT AGREEMENT

This OMNIBUS DISTRIBUTION AND ESCROW AGENT AGREEMENT (as the same may be amended or modified from time to time pursuant hereto, this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of November , 2014 by and among the ENTITIES SET FORTH ON SCHEDULE 1 (collectively, the “Participants” and individually, each a “Participant”), PARAMOUNT GROUP, INC., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and PARAMOUNT GROUP OPERATING PARTNERSHIP LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and collectively with the Company and any designees of either of the Company or the Operating Partnership, the “PGI Parties” and individually, each a “PGI Party”).

BACKGROUND

The Company, which is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, desires to consolidate the ownership of a portfolio of primarily office properties currently owned, directly or indirectly, by the Participants (collectively, the “Formation Transactions”).

The Formation Transactions relate to the proposed initial public offering (the “IPO”) of the common stock, par value $.01 per share (“REIT Shares”), of the Company, which will operate as a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust within the meaning of Sections 856 through 858 of the Code.

In connection with the Formation Transactions, (i) the Company will issue REIT Shares to certain Participants and/or the Holders (as defined below) of the JV Participants (as defined below) and (ii) the Operating Partnership will issue units of limited partnership interest (“OP Units”) to certain other Participants, in each case pursuant to a private placement.

Each Participant has entered into a contribution agreement, merger agreement or other similar agreement or agreements (the “Formation Transaction Documentation”) with one or more of the PGI Parties pursuant to which each such Participant has agreed to contribute to, or merge into, the PGI Parties, as applicable, all of such Participant’s interests identified in such Formation Transaction Documentation. As used herein, the term Formation Transaction Documentation shall include all agreements or other documentation entered into in connection with the Formation Transaction Documentation including, without limitation, the lock-up agreements entered into with the underwriters of the IPO.

The Formation Transaction Documentation provides for the appointment of a distribution and escrow agent in connection with the IPO Escrow and Indemnity Holdback Escrow (each defined below).

Computershare Inc., together with its subsidiary, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., has agreed to act as the distribution and escrow agent (collectively, the “Agent”)

Concurrently with the execution of the Formation Transaction Documentation, (i) the Participants and the PGI Parties have entered into this Agreement, and (ii) the PGI Parties and the Agent have entered into the Transfer Agency and Service Agreement (the “TA Agreement”), the Tabulation Agent Agreement (the “Tabulation Agreement”) and the Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) (each attached as an exhibit hereto and collectively referred to herein as the “Agent Agreements”), pursuant to which the following has or will occur:

•

IPO Escrow. As of the date of this Agreement, certain of the Participants (the “Fund Participants” identified on Schedule 1) have distributed in book entry form to each of their partners (together with equity owners of the other Participants, the “Holders”) as set forth opposite such Holders’ name on Schedule 2, in escrow pursuant to the Agent Agreements, a right (the “Distribution Rights”) to receive such Holder’s allocable share of the number of OP Units and/or REIT Shares (subject to certain restrictions, obligations and liens as described in Section 3 below) to be issued to such Fund Participants (as well as to the other Participants) in connection with the closing of the IPO (the “IPO Consideration”). Pursuant to the Agent Agreements, in connection with the closing of the IPO (the “Effective Date”), Agent will be deemed to have submitted to the Company and the Operating Partnership, as applicable, the Distribution Rights in exchange for the IPO Consideration as set forth opposite each Holders’ name on Schedule 2 and Agent will hold the IPO Consideration in escrow. In addition, pursuant to its applicable Formation Transaction Documentation, the Company will also on the Effective Date issue IPO Consideration to the Holders of the Participants identified on Schedule 1 as the PGI Participants (the “PGI Participants”). Furthermore, pursuant to its applicable merger agreement (the “JV Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which the JV Participants (as defined below below) will merge with and into the Company or a newly-formed subsidiary of the Company (the “JV Merger”), the Company will also on the Effective Date issue IPO Consideration to the Holders of the Participants identified on Schedule 1 as the JV Participants (the “JV Participants”) in accordance with the Letter of Transmittal (defined below). The escrow arrangements with respect to the Distribution Rights and IPO Consideration are collectively referred to as the “IPO Escrow”.

•

Indemnity Holdback Escrow. At the Effective Date, each Participant will cause its respective Holders to deposit (and the Company will withhold from the Holders of the JV Participants and cause to be deposited) in escrow with Agent (the “Indemnity Holdback Escrow”

-2-

and together with the IPO Escrow, the “Escrow Accounts”) a portion of such Holders’ respective IPO Consideration as set forth opposite such Holder’s name on Schedule 2 (the “Indemnity Holdback Amount”) in order to provide for the indemnification obligations provided for in the applicable Formation Transaction Documentation.

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

1. Appointment. The parties hereby agree to the appointment of Agent, pursuant to each of the applicable definitive Agent Agreements, to serve as distribution and escrow agent in connection with the holding and disbursement of the Distribution Rights, IPO Consideration and Indemnity Holdback Amount, in each case pursuant to and in accordance with the applicable definitive Agent Agreement. Subject to entering into such definitive Agent Agreements, Agent has agreed to accept such appointment pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth therein. Pursuant to the relevant portions of certain of the Agent Agreements, Agent will establish a separate account for each Holder in accordance with Schedule 2 and such accounts will allocate each Holder’s aggregate IPO Consideration to a class(es) corresponding to the Participant(s) with respect to which such Holder received its IPO Consideration.

2. Effective Date. The Company will promptly notify Agent of the Effective Date on the date thereof.

3. Escrow Procedures; Legending of IPO Consideration.

(a) IPO Escrow. The TA Agreement and Tabulation Agreement attached as Exhibit A and Exhibit B, respectively, set forth the procedures that the parties and Agent agree and acknowledge shall control with respect to the holding and disbursement of the Distribution Rights and IPO Consideration by Agent.

(b) Indemnity Holdback Escrow. The Escrow Agreement attached as Exhibit C sets forth the procedures that the parties agree and acknowledge shall control with respect to the holding and disbursement of the Indemnity Holdback Amount by Agent.

(c) Legending.

The PGI Parties acknowledge that

-3-

the Letter of Transmittal from the Holders of the JV Participants is required to be delivered to the Company and/or the Agent as of the closing of the JV Merger and the concurrent closing of the IPO pursuant to the JV Merger Agreement and if so delivered, the Restrictive Legend with respect to the IPO Escrow will not be placed on the REIT Shares to be issued to the JV Participants.

(iii) Indemnity Holdback Escrow: Those OP Units and REIT Shares identified on Schedule 2 under the heading “Indemnity Holdback Escrow” shall be held by Agent subject to (i) the Indemnity Holdback Escrow and (ii) other than with respect to the Holders of the JV Participants and WvF Real Estate Fund, L.P. as a Holder of Paramount Group Real Estate Fund V (Core), L.P., a pledge of such OP Units and REIT Shares in favor of the applicable PGI Party until the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of the Effective Date unless there is a Reserved Portion (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) as of such date, in which event, the Indemnity Escrow Holdback shall continue with respect to such Reserved Portion until ultimately disposed of in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and (y) the date a Holder posts with Agent Substitute Collateral (defined below) in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, in which event such Substitute Collateral shall be held in the Indemnity Holdback Escrow.

(iv) Transfer Tax Indemnity: Other than with respect to the Holders of the JV Participants, each Holder’s IPO Consideration shall be subject to the following: (i) indemnification obligations for any incremental New York City and State real property transfer taxes that will be payable if such Holder subsequently transfers more than 50% of its IPO Consideration within two years of the IPO Closing and (ii) a pledge with respect to such indemnification obligations of 50% of each Holder’s total IPO Consideration in favor of the applicable PGI Party until the earlier of (x) one business day after the second anniversary of the Effective Date and (y) the date a Holder posts with the applicable PGI Party Substitute Collateral in accordance with the TA Agreement.

(v) Prohibition on Redemption of OP Units: All OP Units shall be subject to a prohibition on redemption until 14 months after the Effective Date.

(vi) General. Pursuant and subject to the TA Agreement, the Agent will release the applicable portion of the IPO Consideration from the Restrictive Legends after the expiration of the periods set forth above or, if applicable, to the extent such IPO Consideration has been released from escrow or the applicable restriction by the posting of Substitute Collateral (as defined below).

-4-

(d) Substitute Collateral. A Holder may have the OP Units and/or REIT Shares that are subject to the Indemnification Holdback Escrow and/or the Transfer Tax Indemnity released by Agent by posting either (i) cash collateral or (ii) a letter of credit in form and substance acceptable to the applicable PGI Party (“Substitute Collateral”).

(i) Any Substitute Collateral posted with respect to the Indemnification Holdback Escrow shall be (i) posted with Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement; (ii) be in an amount equal to all or a portion of the IPO Consideration such Holder seeks to have released from escrow and (iii) the number of REIT Shares and/or OP Units that shall be released shall be equal to (x) the amount of the Substitute Collateral posted divided by (y) the Value of a REIT Share on the date Agent receives the Substitute Collateral, rounded up to the nearest whole number.

(ii) Any Substitute Collateral posted with respect to the transfer tax indemnity shall be (i) posted with the applicable PGI Party; and (ii) in an amount equal to 100% of the Holder’s share of the indemnification obligations for transfer tax payment that would be payable upon the transfer of such Holder’s REIT Shares and/or OP Units prior to the expiration of the applicable transfer tax indemnity period as reasonably determined by such PGI Party; and after the posting of such Substitute Collateral, all of such Holder’s REIT Shares and/or OP Units shall be released by Agent from the applicable Restrictive Legend.

(iii) “Value” means with respect to a REIT Share on a particular date, the market price of a REIT Share on such date. The market price for each such trading day shall be: (i) if the REIT Shares are listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the closing price on such day as reported by such national securities exchange, or if no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such day; (ii) if the REIT Shares are not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the last reported sale price on such day or, if no sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such day, as reported by a reliable quotation source designated by the Company; (iii) if the REIT Shares are not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange and no such last reported sale price or closing bid and asked prices are available, the average of the reported high bid and low asked prices on such day, as reported by a reliable quotation source designated by the Company, or if there shall be no bid and asked prices on such day, the average of the high bid and low asked prices, as so reported, on the most recent day (not more than ten (10) days prior to the date in question) for which prices have been so reported; or (iv) if none of the conditions set forth in clauses (i), (ii), or (iii) is met then, the amount determined by the board of directors of the Company.

Pursuant to the TA Agreement, Agent shall pay to the respective Holders shown on Schedule 2 any dividends or other distributions that are declared on the OP Units and REIT Shares after the Effective Date as if not encumbered by the Escrow Account or the Restrictive Legends notwithstanding that any portion of the IPO Consideration is being held in an Escrow Account or subject to any Restrictive Legends.

-5-

5. Voting. Each Holder shall have the right to vote the REIT Shares and OP Units credited to such Holder’s account as if not encumbered by the Escrow Account or the Restrictive Legends notwithstanding that any portion of the IPO Consideration is being held in an Escrow Account or subject to any Restrictive Legends.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Agent shall not be liable for any delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control including, without limitation, acts of God, terrorist acts, shortage of supply, loss of data due to power failures, war, or civil unrest.

(f) Third Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to benefit only the Participants, the Holders and the PGI Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. No rights shall be granted to any other person by virtue of this Agreement, and there are no third party beneficiaries hereof.

(g) Survival. All provisions regarding indemnification, warranty, liability and limits thereon, compensation and expenses and confidentiality and protection of proprietary rights and trade secrets shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

In the event any ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by all parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

(k) Descriptive Headings. Descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.

(l) Counterparts.

Re:

Proposed Public Offering by Paramount Group, Inc.

Dear Sirs:

The undersigned, a stockholder and/or an officer and/or director of Paramount Group, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) and/or holder of common units in Paramount Group Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), understands that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lynch, Pierce, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ Incorporated (“▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇”) proposes to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with the Company and the Operating Partnership, providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) of shares (the “Securities”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”). In recognition of the benefit that such an offering will confer upon the undersigned as a stockholder and/or an officer and/or director of the Company, and/or as a holder of common units in the Operating Partnership, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees with each underwriter to be named in the Underwriting Agreement that, during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date that is 180 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement, the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any shares of the Company’s Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition (collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”), or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any of the Lock-Up Securities, or file or cause to be filed any registration statement in connection therewith, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may pledge the Lock-Up Securities without the prior written consent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ solely to the extent such pledge is (A) in connection with the indemnification obligations of the undersigned relating to New York real property transfer tax and for the benefit of the Company or the Operating Partnership; or (B) pursuant to the terms of the limited

partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership and for the benefit of the Company or the Operating Partnership, provided that (i) the undersigned will use the undersigned’s reasonable best efforts to notify ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ at least three business days prior to any transfer of the Lock-Up Securities pursuant to any of the foregoing pledges that is required to be reported in any public report or filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise, and (ii) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding such transfers. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may transfer the Lock-Up Securities without the prior written consent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, provided that (1) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ receives a signed lock-up agreement for the balance of the lockup period from each donee, trustee, distributee, or transferee, as the case may be, (2) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value (except with regards to any transfer or sale pursuant to clause (vi) below), (3) such transfers are not required to be reported with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 4 in accordance with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (except with regards to any transfer or sale pursuant to clause (vi) below, prior to which the undersigned will notify ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ in writing of its intention to file a Form 4, or a disposition by will or intestacy), and (4) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding such transfers:

(i) as a bona fide gift or gifts or other dispositions by will or intestacy; or

(ii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned (for purposes of this lock-up agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin); or

(iii) as a distribution to limited partners, members or stockholders of or other holders of equity interests in the undersigned; or

(iv) to the undersigned’s affiliates or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the undersigned; or

(v) to an immediate family member of the undersigned or entities wholly owned by or for the benefit of the undersigned, the undersigned’s affiliates or immediate family members of the undersigned, or to an entity that is owned by the undersigned and the undersigned’s affiliates alone or with other stockholders that received Common Stock in connection with the Formation Transactions (as that term is defined in the Underwriting Agreement); or

(vi) to a spouse, former spouse, child or other dependent pursuant to a domestic relations order or an order of a court of competent jurisdiction; or

(vii) to the Company upon termination of the undersigned’s employment with the Company; or

(viii) to a nominee or custodian of a person or entity to whom a disposition or transfer would be permissible under clauses (i) through (vi) above.

Furthermore, the undersigned may sell shares of Common Stock of the Company purchased by the undersigned on the open market following the completion of the Public Offering if and only if (i) such sales are not required to be reported in any public report or filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or otherwise and (ii) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding such sales.

The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Lock-Up Securities except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

The undersigned understands that, if the Underwriting Agreement is not executed, or if the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Common Stock to be sold thereunder, the undersigned shall be released from all obligations under this lock-up agreement. The undersigned understands that the Underwriters are entering into the Underwriting Agreement and proceeding with the Public Offering in reliance upon this lock-up agreement.
