AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (including all exhibits and schedules, this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of November 6, 2014, by and among PARAMOUNT GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (“PGI”), PARAMOUNT GROUP, INC., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and the stockholders whose names appear on the signature pages hereto (each, a “Stockholder” and together, the “Stockholders”). Capitalized terms used and not defined in the body of this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7.02 hereto.

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 Paramount Group Operating Partnership LP (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”), which transactions are more specifically set forth in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-11 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as amended from time to time;

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

WHEREAS, as part of the Formation Transactions, PGI will merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving entity (the “Merger”) and in consideration thereof each Stockholder will receive shares of Company Common Stock (“Company Shares”);

WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company and the stockholder of the Company have approved and authorized the Merger in accordance with applicable Laws and the Company’s Organizational Documents;

WHEREAS, the board of directors of PGI and the Stockholders have approved and authorized the Merger in accordance with applicable Laws and PGI’s Organizational Documents;

WHEREAS, at the Merger Closing, the Company will deposit the number of Company Shares set forth as the Indemnity Holdback Amount opposite each Stockholder’s name on Schedule 1.07 under the heading “PGI,” which represents approximately the number of Company Shares issued in the Merger equal to $19,000,000 divided by the Price to the Public (collectively, the “Indemnity Holdback Amount”) into an Indemnity Holdback Escrow (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) pursuant to the Escrow Agreement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Escrow Agreement”), in order to provide a remedy for a Company Indemnified Party as provided in Section 5.02;

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

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company has entered into a stockholders agreement with the Stockholders (the “Stockholders Agreement”);

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

WHEREAS, it is intended that the Merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

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

THE MERGER

Section 1.01 The Merger. At the Effective Time, subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with applicable Laws, PGI shall be merged with and into the Company, whereby the separate existence of PGI shall cease, and the Company shall continue its existence under Maryland General Corporation Law as the surviving entity in the Merger (sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Entity”).

Section 1.02 Merger Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 2.03, and subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions in Section 2.01, the closing of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby (the “Merger Closing” or the “Merger Closing Date”) shall occur concurrently with the closing of the IPO (the “IPO Closing”), or up to one (1) day prior to, but conditioned upon the subsequent occurrence of, the IPO Closing. The Merger Closing shall take place at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Procter LLP, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, or as mutually agreed between the Company and PGI. In connection with the foregoing, the parties hereto hereby agree that the specific order in which the Merger Closing, the IPO Closing and the closing of the other transactions that are part of or related to the Formation Transactions occur shall be as determined by the Company.

Section 1.03 Effective Time. On the Merger Closing Date (or on such other date as the Company and PGI may agree) the Company and PGI shall file, or shall cause to be filed, a certificate of merger or similar document with respect to the Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) as may be required by applicable Laws with the Secretary of State of each applicable jurisdiction, providing that the Merger shall become effective upon filing or, if agreed upon by

the Company and PGI, as of such other date or time as is set forth in the Certificate of Merger (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 1.04 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 1.05 Organizational Documents. At the Effective Time, the Organizational Documents of the Company, 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 1.06 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Entity. The directors and officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be and become the directors and officers of the Surviving Entity as of the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the Organizational Documents of the Surviving Entity.

Section 1.07 Conversion of Equity Interests.

(a) Under and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Stockholder is entitled to receive as a result of and upon consummation of the Merger, the Merger Consideration set forth under the heading “PGI” in Schedule 1.07.

(b) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, PGI or any Stockholder, each outstanding share of common stock, par value $1.00, in PGI (each an “Equity Interest”) shall be converted automatically into the right of each Stockholder to receive Company Shares, in the amount set forth opposite his or her name under the heading “PGI” in Schedule 1.07 (the “Merger Consideration”).

(c) No fractional Company Shares shall be issued to a Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement. If aggregating all Company Shares that a Stockholder otherwise would be entitled to receive pursuant to this Agreement would require the issuance of a fractional Company Share, such Stockholder shall instead be entitled to receive one full Company Share in lieu of such fractional Company Share.

(d) From and after the Effective Time, each Equity Interest converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.07(b) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of such Equity Interest so converted shall thereafter cease to have any rights as a stockholder, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration applicable thereto.

Section 1.08 Tax Treatment of Merger. It is intended that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Merger shall qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and that this Agreement constitutes, and hereby is adopted as, a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3.

Section 1.09 Payment of Merger Consideration.

(a) After the Effective Time, upon surrender by a Stockholder of its Equity Interests together with a duly executed letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D and the certificates, if any, evidencing such Equity Interests to the Company, such Stockholder shall be entitled to receive from the Company in exchange therefor the portion of the Merger Consideration to which such Stockholder is entitled (less such Stockholder’s respective portion of the Indemnity Holdback Amount). Risk of loss and title to the Equity Interests of a Stockholder shall pass only upon delivery to the Company of such duly executed letter of transmittal and the certificates, if any, evidencing such Equity Interests.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, dividends or other distributions payable on any portion of the Merger Consideration after the Effective Time, but prior to the delivery of such portion of the Merger Consideration to a Stockholder pursuant to Section 1.09(a) above, shall be paid promptly by the Company to the Stockholder of record, as set forth in Schedule 1.07, entitled to receive such portion of the Merger Consideration upon compliance with the procedures set forth in this Section, less the amount of any withholding taxes which may be required thereon as reasonably determined by the Company. At and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the applicable record books of the Equity Interests that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) On the Merger Closing Date, the Company will deposit the Indemnity Holdback Amount with the Escrow Agent (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement. The approval of the Merger and this Agreement by the Stockholders shall constitute approval of the Escrow Agreement and of all of the arrangements relating thereto, including without limitation the placement of the Indemnity Holdback Amount in escrow and the appointment of the Stockholders’ Representative.

Agreement and the other transactions contemplated to take place in connection therewith (collectively, the “Closing Documents”). The Closing Documents and other items to be delivered include the delivery by the Company to the Escrow Agent (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) evidence of the issuance of the Company Shares that constitutes the Indemnity Holdback Amount to the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.03 Term of the Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate automatically if the Merger Closing or the IPO Closing shall not have been consummated on or prior to March 31, 2015 (such date is hereinafter referred to as the “Outside Date”).

Section 2.04 Effect of Termination.

Section 2.05 Tax Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from the Merger Consideration payable (or deemed payable) pursuant to this Agreement, including the Indemnity Holdback Amount, to the Stockholders, such amounts as the Company is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax law (as determined by the Company in its reasonable discretion). To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Company, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable Stockholder. Each Stockholder shall (A) to the extent requested by PGI, contribute cash prior to the Merger equal to (i) any withholding Taxes that would otherwise be required to be withheld by the Company in connection with the Merger (taking into account any gross-up attributable to such amounts) and (ii) any withholding Taxes that PGI failed to withhold with respect to distributions to the Stockholders prior to the Closing and (B) indemnify and hold harmless the Company for any withholding Taxes relating to the Company’s failure to withhold from such Stockholder’s portion of the Merger Consideration as required by applicable Laws, and for any Taxes of such Stockholder (including those described in subclause (A)(ii) above), other than Taxes attributable to the Company’s breach of its covenants in Section 6.04, provided, however, that, in either case, such Stockholder shall not be liable for any penalties that may become payable in respect thereof, and provided further that, for the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification obligation of the Stockholders pursuant to this clause (B) shall neither be limited to the Indemnity Holdback Amount nor subject to the PGI Deductible.

Section 2.06 Transaction Costs. Subject to Section 6.03, if the Merger Closing occurs, the Company shall be solely responsible for all transaction costs and expenses of the Company and the Stockholder 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.

Section 2.07 Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity shall determine or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, assurances or any

other actions or things are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Entity the right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of PGI acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Entity as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, the Surviving Entity shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of PGI, all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments and assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of PGI, 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, to and under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Entity or otherwise to carry out this Agreement.

OF THE COMPANY

The Company hereby represents and warrants to PGI as set forth below which representations are true and correct as of the date hereof (or such other date specifically set forth below) and as of the Merger Closing as if made again at that time (except to the extent that any representation or warranty only speaks as of an earlier date, in which case it is true and correct as of that earlier date):

Section 3.01 Organization; Authority. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Maryland. The Company has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and all agreements contemplated hereby to which it is party and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and to own, lease or operate its property and to carry on its business as presently conducted and, 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 property make such qualification necessary, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.02 Due Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action of the Company. This Agreement and each agreement, document and instrument executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement constitutes, or when executed and delivered will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar Laws relating to creditors’ rights and general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

Section 3.03 Consents and Approvals. Except in connection with the IPO and the consummation of the Formation Transactions or as shall have been obtained on or prior to the Merger Closing Date, no consent, waiver, approval or authorization of, or filing with, any Person or Governmental Authority or under any applicable Laws is required to be obtained by the Company in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except for those consents, waivers, approvals, authorizations or filings, the failure of which to obtain or to file would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.04 Tax Matters. At the effective time of the IPO and at the Merger Closing, the Company shall be organized in a manner so as to qualify for taxation as a REIT pursuant to Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. The Company intends to elect to be taxed and to operate in a manner that will allow it to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with its taxable year ending December 31 of the year in which the Merger Closing takes place.

Section 3.05 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 material right of termination, acceleration, cancellation or other material right under, (a) the Organizational Documents of the Company, (b) any agreement, document or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or (c) any term or provision of any judgment, order, writ, injunction, or decree binding on the Company or any its Subsidiaries (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 Company Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.06 Validity of Company Shares. The Company Shares, when issued and delivered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will be duly authorized by the Company and will be validly issued by the Company, free and clear of all Liens created by the Company (other than Liens created by the charter of the Company, the Escrow Agreement, the Lock-up Agreement or this Agreement).

Section 3.07 Litigation. There is no action, suit or proceeding pending or, to the Company’s Knowledge, threatened against the Company, the Operating Partnership or any of their Subsidiaries which is reasonably expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect or which challenges or impairs the ability of the Company to execute or deliver, or perform its obligations under, this Agreement and the documents executed by it pursuant to this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

As of the date hereof, there is no action, suit or proceeding pending or, to PGI’s Knowledge, threatened against PGI, any PGI Subsidiary or any JV Entity which challenges or impairs the ability of PGI to execute or deliver, or perform its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

To PGI’s Knowledge, neither PGI, any PGI 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, reasonably be expected to have a PGI 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, reasonably be expected to have a PGI Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.10 The Properties.

(a) The Properties are owned directly, in fee simple, by the Persons set forth on Section 4.10 of the Disclosure Letter or their direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries.

Prior to the effective time of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, no PGI 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 PGI Material Adverse Effect, (i) no PGI Subsidiary, JV Entity, nor any other party to any agreement affecting any Property to which PGI, a PGI 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 PGI 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. No PGI Subsidiary or JV Entity has granted an option or right of first refusal or offer pursuant to the leases with respect to the sale of any Property.

(c) As presently conducted, none of the operation of the buildings, fixtures and other improvements comprising a part of the Properties is in violation of any applicable building code, zoning ordinance or other law or regulation, except for such violations that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a PGI Material Adverse Effect. Neither PGI nor any PGI Subsidiary nor any JV Entity has received any written notice from a Governmental Authority of any pending or threatened proceedings for the rezoning of any Property or portion thereof except for such notices or proceedings that would not, individually, or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a PGI Material Adverse Effect.

(d) Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a PGI Material Adverse Effect, (i) to PGI’s Knowledge, neither PGI, any PGI Subsidiary nor any JV Entity, nor any other party to any Lease, has given or received any notice of default with respect to any term or condition of any such Lease, (ii) to PGI’s Knowledge, 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 Lease, 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 PGI, the PGI Subsidiaries or the JV Entities, except for Permitted Liens, and (iii) each of the leases (and all amendments thereto or modifications thereof) to which any PGI, any PGI Subsidiary or any JV Entity is a party or by which PGI, any PGI Subsidiary or any JV Entity or any Property is bound or subject (collectively, the “Leases”) is and will be 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 PGI Material Adverse Effect, each of the Leases to which PGI, any PGI Subsidiary or any JV Entity is a party or by which PGI, any PGI 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 PGI or the applicable PGI Subsidiary or JV Entity, and to PGI’s Knowledge, each other party thereto, enforceable against each PGI Subsidiary or JV Entity, and to PGI’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 PGI’s Knowledge, except as previously disclosed to the Company, 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 PGI Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.11 Insurance. PGI or the applicable PGI Subsidiary or JV Entity has in place the public liability, casualty and other insurance coverage with respect to each Property as PGI reasonably deems necessary. Each of the insurance policies with respect to the Properties is in full force and effect in all material respects and none of PGI or the applicable PGI Subsidiary or JV Entity is in default (in any material respect) under any such policies.

Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a PGI Material Adverse Effect, (a) PGI, the PGI Subsidiaries and the JV Entities are in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, (b) neither PGI, any PGI Subsidiary nor any JV Entity has received within the past three years any written notice from any Governmental Authority or third party alleging that PGI, any PGI Subsidiary, any JV Entity or any Property is not in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, and (c) there has not been a release of a hazardous substance on any Property that would require investigation or remediation under applicable Environmental Laws. The representations and warranties contained in this Section 4.12 constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties made by PGI concerning environmental matters.

Section 4.13 Holding Period. PGI acknowledges that it has been advised, and it has advised the Stockholders, that the Company Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement are “restricted securities” (unless registered in accordance with applicable U.S. securities Laws) under applicable U.S. federal securities Laws and may be disposed of only pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption therefrom and PGI understands that, and has informed the Stockholders that, the Company has no obligation or intention to register any of the Company Shares, except pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. Accordingly, the Stockholders may have to bear indefinitely, the economic risks of an investment in such Company Shares and a notation shall be made in the appropriate records of the Company indicating that the Company Shares are subject to restrictions on transfer.

Section 4.14 Investments. Each Stockholder acknowledges that the Company intends the offer and issuance of Company Shares to the Stockholders as Merger Consideration to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and that the Company’s reliance on such exemptions is predicated in part on the accuracy and completeness of the representations and warranties contained herein. In furtherance thereof, each Stockholder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

(a) such Stockholder is an Accredited Investor; and

(b) such Stockholder is acquiring the Merger Consideration solely for its own account for the purpose of investment and not as a nominee or agent for any other Person and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution of any thereof in violation of the securities Laws.

Section 4.15 Broker. None of PGI, any PGI Subsidiary, any JV Entity or any of their respective managers, members, partners, officers directors or employees, to the extent applicable, has entered into any agreement with any broker, finder, or similar agent of 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 fees, brokerage fees or commissions or similar payment in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

ARTICLE V

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 5.01 Company Indemnification.

(a) Subject to the indemnification limitations set forth in this Agreement, from and after the Merger Closing Date, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Stockholder and their respective officers, employees, partners, members, agents, representatives and Affiliates (each of which is a “PGI Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all charges, complaints, claims, actions, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses of any nature whatsoever, including without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of investigation, costs of investigative judicial or administrative proceedings or appeals therefrom and costs of attachment or similar bonds (collectively, “Losses”) in excess of the greater of (i) 4.5% of the Company Cap or (ii) $250,000, in each case in the aggregate (the “Company Deductible”), arising out of or relating to, asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by a PGI Indemnified Party in connection with or as a result of any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant of the Company contained in this Agreement or in any schedule, exhibit, certificate or affidavit or any other document delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company shall not have any obligation under this Section 5.01 to indemnify any PGI Indemnified Party against any Losses to the extent that such Losses arise by virtue of PGI’s breach of this Agreement, gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud.

(b) Any indemnification payment made by the Company to a Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement shall be made to such Stockholder in shares of Company Common Stock, the number of which shall equal the dollar value of the indemnification payment, divided by the price of a share of Company Common Stock as of the close of market on the date of such indemnification payment.

Section 5.02 PGI Indemnification.

(a) Subject to the indemnification limitations set forth in this Agreement, from and after the Merger Closing Date, the PGI 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 (the “PGI Deductible”), 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 PGI or in any schedule, exhibit, certificate or affidavit or any other document delivered by PGI pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that

PGI 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 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 PGI 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 PGI, the indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.02(a) shall be limited to the portion of such Losses attributable to the interest acquired from PGI pursuant to this Agreement. Each Stockholder hereby grants to the Company a security interest in the Company Shares held as the Indemnity Holdback Amount to secure the obligations set forth in this Section 5.02. In addition, to the extent that any (i) OP Units that PGI (or the Surviving Entity or its successors in interests) receives, or would otherwise be entitled to receive, in connection with the Formation Transactions with respect to the interests in Fund V CIP held directly or indirectly by PGI at the Effective Time or (ii) OP Units or shares of Company Common Stock that are held by the Fund GP Entities are paid to the Company or the Operating Partnership in order to satisfy indemnification obligations to which such OP Units or shares of Company Common Stock are subject in connection with the Company’s or Operating Partnership’s acquisition of the assets of the Paramount Funds in the Formation Transactions, the Company or the Operating Partnership will be entitled to receive a number of Company Shares from the Indemnity Holdback Amount equal to such number of OP Units or shares of Company Common Stock paid to the Company or the Operating Partnership in order to indemnify the Company or the Operating Partnership for the loss of such OP Units or shares of Company Common Stock.

(b) Subject to the indemnification limitations set forth in this Agreement from and after the Merger Closing Date, in the event that a Company Indemnified Party incurs Losses (as defined in the applicable Fund Contribution Agreement) for which it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to the applicable Fund Contribution Agreement greater than the applicable Indemnity Holdback Amount set forth therein, then the Indemnity Holdback Amount shall be used to indemnify such Company Indemnified Party for such Losses. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that no indemnification obligation shall arise under this Section 5.02(b) unless and until the indemnification remedy set forth in the applicable Fund Contribution Agreement has been utilized to the fullest extent provided for therein and in no event shall this Section 5.02(b) be deemed to extend the survival of any representation and warranty of any Contributor set forth in any Fund Contribution Agreement. In addition, the parties agree and acknowledge, for the purposes of this Section 5.02(b) with regard to the determination of whether the deductible has been satisfied, only the deductible set forth in the applicable Fund Contribution Agreement shall apply when making such determination and not the Company Deductible set forth herein.

Section 5.03 Notice of Claims At the time when any PGI 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 in respect of PGI 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 Stockholders’ 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 Stockholders’ 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 Stockholders’ 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 Stockholders’ 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 PGI, any PGI 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 Stockholders’ 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 Stockholders’ 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 PGI in Article IV and the Company in Article III, respectively, contained in this Agreement shall survive after the Merger Closing until the first anniversary of the Merger 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 Merger Closing Date, the Company will deposit the Indemnity Holdback Amount with the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement. The Company agrees that the Company Shares that comprise the Indemnity Holdback Amount may be released, or collateral may be substituted for such Company Shares, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

Section 5.07 Exclusive Remedy.

(a) Except as set forth in Sections 2.05, 6.03(f) and 6.05, (i) 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 (ii) neither PGI nor any Stockholder shall be liable or obligated to make payments under this Agreement to the extent such payments in the aggregate exceed the Indemnity Holdback Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree and acknowledge that the foregoing shall not be deemed to modify the indemnification remedy set forth in each Fund Contribution Agreement.

(b) Except as set forth in Section 6.04, (i) the sole and exclusive remedy for PGI 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 (ii) 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 Company Shares included in the Indemnity Holdback Amount by the Price to the Public (the “Company Cap”).

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

From the date hereof through the Merger Closing, except as otherwise provided for, or as contemplated by this Agreement or the Formation Transaction Documentation, PGI shall and shall cause the PGI Subsidiaries and JV Entities, to the extent PGI or the PGI Subsidiaries control such JV Entities, to use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct their business and operate and maintain the Properties in the ordinary course, consistent with past practices. In addition, PGI:

(a) will not make any distributions, other than Permitted Distributions;

(b) except for Permitted Activities, will not enter into any transactions with an Affiliate other than on an arm’s-length basis;

(d) will not mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber (or permit to become encumbered) all or any portion of its Property Interests, except for Permitted Liens.

Section 6.02 Stockholders’ Representative. PGI and the Stockholders hereby appoint ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ as the representative for the Stockholders (the “Stockholders’ Representative”) and the Stockholders’ Representative shall have the authority to take the actions provided herein and receive notices on behalf of the Stockholders subsequent to the Merger Closing; provided that the Stockholders entitled to receive a majority of the Merger Consideration shall have the right, at any time, to remove and replace the Stockholders’ Representative by written notice to the Company executed by such Stockholders and delivered to the Company.

Section 6.03 Tax Covenants.

(a) Each party hereto (i) shall cause all Tax Returns relating to the Merger to be filed on the basis of treating the Merger as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and (ii) shall not take any position on any Tax Return, or take any other reporting position, that is inconsistent with such treatment, unless otherwise required by applicable Laws.

(b) PGI shall provide the Company with such reasonable cooperation and information relating to PGI, any PGI Subsidiary and any JV Entity as the Company reasonably requires 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 the transactions contemplated herein on the Company’s qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income Tax purposes and the qualification of the Merger as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code.

(c) The Company shall be responsible for the prosecution of any claim or audit instituted after the Merger Closing Date with respect to Taxes of PGI, any PGI Subsidiary or any JV Entity attributable to any taxable period, or portion thereof, ending on or before the Merger Closing Date.

(d) Following the Merger Closing, to the extent a Stockholder has provided a FIRPTA Notice pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(iv)(A)(x), instead of a FIRPTA Notice pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(iv)(A)(y) or cash sufficient to fund withholding pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(iv)(B), such Stockholder shall provide the Company with evidence satisfactory to the Company that such Stockholder has complied with the requirements of Temporary Treasury Regulations Section 1.897-5T(d)(1)(iii), as modified by IRS Notice 89-57, with respect to the Merger.

(e) Within 20 days after the Merger Closing, the Company shall submit to the Internal Revenue Service any FIRPTA Notices provided to it pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(iv)(A) in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(d)(2)(i)(B).

(f) The Stockholders shall (i) cause to be timely paid any ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ real property transfer taxes payable by the Stockholders as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger (collectively, the “New York Transfer Taxes”); provided, that the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that such amount of New York Transfer Taxes payable shall reflect the Company’s status as a REIT; (ii) cause to be timely and properly filed, with the Company’s cooperation, all Tax Returns with respect to such New York Transfer Taxes and (iii) provide evidence satisfactory to the Company of such payment and filing. If the actual amount of New York Transfer Taxes (expressly excluding any increase in New York Transfer Taxes payable in connection with the Merger due to any subsequent direct or indirect transfers or dispositions by any Stockholder or its Affiliates of Company Common Stock issued as Merger Consideration) owed by the Stockholders is less than the Transfer Tax Amount, then, promptly after payment of such amount is made or caused to be made by the Stockholders or is due (if payment is not made by the due date), the Stockholders shall pay the amount of such difference to the Company. If the actual amount of New York Transfer Taxes owed and actually paid by the Stockholders is greater than the Transfer Tax Amount, then, promptly after payment of such amount is made or caused to be made by the Stockholders (subject to the Stockholder’s obligation to provide evidence satisfactory to the Company of such payment and filing), the Company shall issue shares of Company Common Stock to the Stockholders, the number of which shall equal the dollar amount of such excess amount divided by the price of a share of Company Common Stock at the close of market as of the date of such payment. The Stockholders shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to pay more than the Transfer Tax Amount, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, prior to such payment, the Company shall have the right to review and approve (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) the amount of such payment.

Section 6.04 Tax Protection Provisions.

(a) With respect to the period commencing on, and including, the Effective Time and ending on, and including, December 31, 2014 (the “Covenant Period”), the Company shall not, and shall cause the Operating Partnership to not, both (x) incur, directly or indirectly, any gain from the sale or exchange of a U.S. real property interest (as described in Section 897(c) of the Code) and (y) distribute any such gain or any interest in U.S. real property if the effect thereof would be to cause a Stockholder to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as recognizing “effectively connected income” as a result of the operation of Section 897 of the Code, solely as a result of such distribution, during a taxable year of the Stockholder ending on or before December 31, 2014, (“Prohibited Event”), provided, however, the Company shall not be deemed to have violated this undertaking to the extent the Prohibited Event was caused by an unaffiliated third party’s actions or exercise of its rights, including, without limitation, a third party’s exercise of buy-sell or forced sale rights, gain incurred by an entity not controlled by the Company or the Operating Partnership where the gain is allocated to the Company or the Operating Partnership as a result of its direct or indirect investment in the entity, or other similar event over which neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership

would reasonably be expected to exercise control that results in a Prohibited Event (such covenant being referred to as the “No Gain Covenant”). The parties agree that the sole remedy for a violation of the No Gain Covenant shall be indemnification pursuant to, and subject to the conditions of, this Section 6.04 and, for the avoidance of doubt, not specific performance. Accordingly, for example, the Company may make a distribution in violation of No Gain Covenant to the extent it reasonably determines such distribution is required for the Company to maintain its qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes; provided that, in connection with such distribution, the Company will be required to indemnify the Stockholders pursuant to, and subject to the conditions of, this Section 6.04.

(b) If the Company becomes aware that a gain described in clause (x) of the first sentence of Section 6.04(a) is planned or scheduled to be incurred due to the actions or exercise of rights by an unaffiliated third party, the Company will use, and will cause the Operating Partnership to use, reasonable efforts to seek to have such third party delay the Prohibited Event until after the end of the Covenant Period; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to incur any costs or expense in obtaining such delay but will permit the Stockholders to fund such costs and expenses if the Company or Operating Partnership is otherwise able through the use of its reasonable efforts to obtain such delay and, notwithstanding the occurrence of such Prohibited Event, the Company shall not, and shall cause the Operating Partnership to not, make a distribution with respect thereto, except to the extent it determines in good faith that such distribution is required for the Company to maintain its qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(c) If a Prohibited Event occurs in violation of the No Gain Covenant, each Stockholder agrees as follows: (w) if notified of the occurrence of such Prohibited Event, to make the filings required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.897-5T(d)(1)(iii) with its U.S. federal income tax return (or amended return) for the year in which the Effective Time occurs; (x) that such Stockholder will take the position for U.S. federal income tax purposes that notwithstanding the occurrence of such Prohibited Event, a subsequent disposition of Company Shares received in the Merger and any other Formation Transaction by such Stockholder is not subject to U.S. federal income tax (under Section 897 of the Code) if the Company Shares are not a “U.S. real property interest” with respect to such Stockholder at the time of the disposition (“No-Tax Position”) unless such Stockholder receives an opinion from a Big 4 accounting firm (or other mutually agreeable firm) that there is no substantial authority for asserting the No-Tax Position; (y) in the event the No-Tax Position is challenged by the Internal Revenue Service, such Stockholder will use reasonable best efforts to contest the challenge provided that the Company indemnifies, or causes the Operating Partnership to indemnify, for such Stockholder’s reasonable defense costs; and without limitation (z) otherwise to cooperate with the Company and/or Operating Partnership to mitigate any losses that may arise as a result of such Prohibited Event.

(d) If a Prohibited Event occurs in violation of the No Gain Covenant, the Company will indemnify each Stockholder for the incremental net income tax liability actually incurred by such Stockholder as a result of such violation of the No Gain Covenant to the extent that (x) such violation causes such Stockholder’s receipt of Company Shares in the Merger and any other Formation Transaction to be treated as a taxable exchange under Section 897 of the Code or (y) such breach causes gain from an actual sale or other disposition of Company Shares

received in the Merger and any other Formation Transaction by such Stockholder to be taxed under Section 897 of the Code, provided, however, that (i) such Stockholder shall not be indemnified for any such tax liability under this Section 6.04 if such Stockholder breached a covenant in Section 6.04(c) and, (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent gain realized in the Merger and any other Formation Transaction, as applicable, or a disposition of Company Shares received in the Merger and any other Formation Transaction, as applicable, would be subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of such violation of the No Gain Covenant, the Company will have no liability hereunder for such violation.

(e) The indemnification notice and claim procedures set forth in Section 5.03 shall apply to the indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 6.04.

Section 6.05 Liability for Transfer Taxes. Each Stockholder agrees to indemnify the Company for any Incremental Transfer Taxes incurred as a result of any direct or indirect transfers of the Company Shares issued as Merger Consideration or interests therein within two years after the IPO Closing Date, provided that such Company Shares shall be the Company’s sole recourse with respect to such indemnification obligation. Each Stockholder hereby grants a security interest in 50% of the Company Shares to be received by such Stockholder as Merger Consideration to the Company and hereby irrevocably appoints the Company, and any of its agents, officers, or employees as its attorney-in fact, which shall be deemed coupled with an interest, with full power to prepare, execute and deliver any documents, instruments and agreements as may be appropriate to perfect and continue such security interest in favor of the Company. The security interest granted pursuant to this Section 6.05 shall attach to Company Shares that are not included in the Indemnity Holdback Amount. The Company agrees that the security interest in the Company Shares may be released, or collateral may be substituted for such Company Shares, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

Section 6.06 Commercially Reasonable Efforts By the Company and PGI. Each of the Company and PGI shall 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 regulation or from any Governmental Authority or third party) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) promptly making any such filings, in furnishing information required in connection therewith and in timely seeking to obtain any such consents, approvals, waivers, permits or authorizations.

Section 7.09 Severability. Each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted so as to be effective and valid under applicable Laws, but if any provision is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Laws 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 had never been included herein.

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. Pursuant and subject to the TA Agreement, Agent will cause the IPO Consideration to be legended to reflect the following lock-ups and restrictions, which lock-ups and restrictions are more particularly described in and governed by the Formation Transaction Documentation (the “Restrictive Legends”):

(i) Lock-up on Transfers: All OP Units and REIT Shares shall be subject to lock-up on transfers until 180 days after the Effective Date.

(ii) IPO Escrow: All OP Units and REIT Shares shall be subject to the IPO Escrow until the earlier of (i) the delivery of, as applicable, a completed and signed Investor Acknowledgement Agreement (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-1 and D-2) or Letter of Transmittal (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E) or (ii) one business day after the second anniversary of the Effective Date. 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.

4. Dividends And Distributions On IPO Consideration Held in Escrow Accounts or Subject to Restrictive Legends. 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. Pursuant to the TA Agreement, Agent will promptly forward to each Holder all notices of shareholders’ or partners’ meetings, proxy statements and reports received by Agent in respect of REIT Shares or OP Units held in such Holder’s account

6. Withholding; Other Tax Matters. The Participants, the Company and the Operating Partnership, as applicable, shall deduct and withhold any taxes they reasonably deem are appropriate under applicable tax withholding rules from any payment of IPO Consideration to the Holders. As of the Effective Date, for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes, each Holder shall be treated as the owner of the IPO Consideration to which they are, or will be, entitled pursuant to this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any IPO Consideration held in the Escrow Accounts on such Holder’s behalf).

7. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing or set forth in a PDF attached to an email, and shall be delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement by facsimile, email or overnight courier only to the appropriate fax number, email address, or notice address set forth in Schedule 3.

8. Authorized Representatives. The parties hereby acknowledge that the individuals set forth as authorized representatives (“Authorized Representatives”) on Schedule 4 have the authority to act as the representative(s) of each of the Participants and/or Holders, as applicable, in connection with any rights or obligations of such entities as signatories to, or third party beneficiaries under, the Escrow Agreement to the extent any such rights are expressly given to the Authorized Representatives in the Escrow Agreement.

9. Miscellaneous.

(a) Successors and Assigns. All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement by or for the benefit of the Participants, the PGI Parties or Agent shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and permitted assigns hereunder (or with respect to the Agent under the applicable Agent Agreement), but shall not be assignable by any party hereto without the written consent of all the parties hereto; provided, however, that the Agent may assign its rights hereunder subject to the provisions of the applicable Agent Agreement.

(b) Amendments. This Agreement and the Agent Agreements may only be amended or modified by a written amendment executed by the Agent and the Company; provided, however, that, if such amendment (i) does not affect each of the Participants or the Holders (and, if applicable, the PGI Parties) in the same manner, or (ii) decreases the rights or increases the obligations of the Participants or Holders or the restrictions on the IPO Consideration under this Agreement or the Agent Agreements, then such Participant(s) and/or Holder(s) shall also be required to consent to such amendment. Agent may rely on the Company’s signature to any amendment as evidence that any required consent from

-6-

Participants and Holders has been obtained. Notification of all Amendments to this Agreement and the Agent Agreements shall be provided to each of the Holders and Participants.

(c) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provision, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.

(d) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of law.

Agent shall not be required hereunder to comply with the laws or regulations of any country other than the United States of America or any political subdivision thereof. Agent may consult with foreign counsel in connection with any foreign law issues that may arise as a result of the Company or any other party being subject to the laws or regulations of any foreign jurisdiction.

(e) Force Majeure. 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.

(h) Priorities. In the event of any conflict, discrepancy, or ambiguity between the terms and conditions contained in (i) this Agreement, (ii) any schedules or attachments hereto, (iii) the Formation Transaction Documentation, and (iv) the Agent Agreements with respect to any obligations, rights, duties, responsibilities, liabilities, indemnities or protections of the Agent, the terms and conditions contained in the Agent Agreements shall take precedence.

-7-

(i) Merger of Agreement. Together with the Formation Transaction Documentation and the Agent Agreements, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto and supersedes any prior agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether oral or written.

(j) No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting 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. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. A signature to this Agreement transmitted electronically shall have the same authority, effect, and enforceability as an original signature.

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.
