(the "Operating Partnership"). Conditioned upon sufficient allocations to the capital accounts of the LTIP Units for federal income tax purposes, LTIP Units are convertible by the reporting person, upon vesting, into an equivalent number of units of limited partnership interests ("Operating Partnership Units") of the Operating Partnership, which are redeemable by the holder for shares of Class A Common Stock of Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Issuer") on a one-for-one basis or the cash value of such shares, at the Issuer's option. The rights to convert LTIP units into Operating Partnership Units and redeem Operating Partnership Units do not have expiration dates. These LTIP Units vest 25% ratably on each of the first four anniversaries of January 1, 2018, subject to continued employment through such dates. These LTIP Units are scheduled to vest conditioned on the achievement of certain performance criteria based on the Issuer's total return to shareholders during a three-year performance period ending December 31, 2020. Any earned LTIP units will vest 50% on January 1, 2021 and 50% on January 1, 2022, subject to continued employment. In accordance with applicable Form 4 reporting requirements, the foregoing excludes 527,908 LTIP Units also granted on March 27, 2018 that are scheduled to vest conditioned on the achievement of certain performance criteria based on the Issuer's relative total return to shareholders measured against two different industry-specific indices. /s/ Bart S.
