         Attention:  Dr. Peter Linneman, Chairman

         Gentlemen:

                   In response to Paine Webber's request for more detailed
         information regarding our September 28th recapitalization pro-
         posal, we have attached detailed responses to their questions.
         In addition, we have outlined some further thoughts below.

         Equity Dilution

                   In comparing our proposal with other proposals the REIT
         has received, we believe a paramount consideration for the Board
         is the degree to which current equity holders would be diluted.
         The attraction of a shareholder rights offering is that one can
         replicate any capital structure by adjusting the amount and type
         of debt and equity without any dilution to existing shareholders.
         In contrast, any proposed recapitalization in which an outside
         investor buys stock at a below market price is inherently dilu-
         tive to shareholders.

                   For example, instead of our current proposed capital
         structure, we could, in order to match the capital structure of
         the Zell transaction, refinance all of the Company's debt with
         $700,000,000 of new debt and expand the rights offering to raise
         $250,000,000 of new equity.  This modification of the capital
         structure could be accomplished without any dilution to the ex-
         isting shareholders.<PAGE>

         General Electric Lease Concession/Debt Financing

                   The most recent press release from Equity Office Hold-
         ings makes reference to the low-cost financing provided by Gen-
         eral Electric, but does not specify the amount of a lease conces-
         sion to GE/NBC required to obtain this low-cost financing.  In
         the event that the Gotham proposal were selected, we believe that
         GE would be willing to negotiate a similar transaction with the
         Company if the Board and the shareholders deemed it advisable.

         Leverage

                   We understand that the Board has expressed some concern
         regarding the appropriate amount of leverage for the Company go-
         ing forward.  We believe this decision should be based on a
         sources and uses comparison and the terms of the debt outstanding
         rather than a simple comparison of the absolute amount of debt
         and equity to be raised.  In general, a capital structure which
         gives the Company a substantial cash cushion and includes a sig-
         nificant component of zero coupon debt may be less risky than a
         proposal (like the Zell proposal) which contemplates a lower ab-
         solute amount of debt which requires cash interest payments.  In
         addition, one should also consider the term of the new financing
         and compare proposals assuming any floating rate-debt is swapped
         at fixed rates.  We believe it is inappropriate to compare the
         cost of debt in different proposals when one proposal assumes
         floating rate short-term debt, and another has long-term fixed
         rate debt.

         Zero Coupon Convertible Debentures

                   In general, we believe there is significant value to
         the Zero Coupon Debentures and therefore believe it is preferable
         to leave them outstanding.  In particular, the five-year interest
         deferral, current tax deduction for interest, and the ability to
         exchange the Zeros for low-cost Floating Rate Notes are valuable
         features which would be eliminated if they were prepaid.  How-
         ever, if the Board and other shareholders were to conclude, based
         on other available financing, that the Zeros should be prepaid,
         we would be happy to modify our proposal to incorporate this
         change.<PAGE>

         Whitehall/Tishman/Rockefeller

                   With regard to the Whitehall/Tishman/Rockefeller pro-
         posal, we believe the proposed price is inadequate without ad-
         ditional cash or non-cash consideration, possibly in the form of
         a participation in the future value of the property.

         Property Management

                   We believe the identity of the property manager is a
         separate issue from the Company's ideal capital structure and
         ownership.  We have received numerous inquiries from experienced
         New York owner/managers of real estate who would be excellent
         candidates for the long-term management and value enhancement of
         the property.  We can identify a property manager to the Board if
         you thought it would enhance our proposal.  As an alternative, we
         would welcome a property management proposal from Mr. Zell, Dis-
         ney, and/or Tishman Speyer.  Ultimately, we believe property man-
         agers are interested in managing Rockefeller Center, and are
         minimally concerned with the composition of the ultimate owner-
         ship of the property.

                   In summary, we believe that the Board should consider
         three distinct decisions:  (1) which ownership structure offers
         the least equity dilution to existing shareholders; (2) what is
         the appropriate amount, type, and term of debt financing, and (3)
         who is the right property manager to create the maximum long term
         property value.  We are interested in assisting the Company in
         answering each of these questions and creating maximum share-
         holder value.

                   We look forward to any comments and questions you may
         have.

                                  Sincerely,

                  Required Clarifications to Proposal to RCPI by
                              Gotham Partners, L.P.
                             dated September 28, 1995




         1.   Describe and provide a schematic of your proposed struc-
              ture of RCPI and Newco at each point during and after the
              proposed transaction.

                   The structure outlined in our proposal letter (the
         "Preferred Scenario") contemplates the following steps:

         Step 1:   Gotham establishes a wholly owned Delaware corpora-
                   tion ("Newco").

         Step 2:   Execution of agreements:
                   -- Merger agreement between RCPI and Newco
                   -- Financing agreement between RCPI and Senior
                        Lender
                   -- Standby purchase agreements between Newco
                        and standby purchasers
                   -- Subordination agreement between Senior
                        Lender and Whitehall
                   -- Amendment to Debenture Purchase Agreement
                        between Whitehall and RCPI
                   -- Warrant and rights exercise agreement between
                        Whitehall and Newco

         Step 3:   RCPI mails proxy statement seeking shareholder ap-
                   proval for merger of RCPI into Newco (the
                   "Merger").  

         Step 4:   Shareholders approve Merger.  RCPI calls Current Cou-
                   pon Debentures and Floating Rate Notes for redemp-
                   tion.  RCPI issues rights to buy Newco common stock.

         Step 5:   Senior financing closes.  Floating Rate Notes and
                   Current Coupon Debentures retired.  Merger closes.
                   Whitehall exchanges RCPI warrants and SARs for Newco
                   warrants, which Whitehall exercises.  Newco closes
                   rights offering.<PAGE>







                   The Preferred Scenario contemplates the participation
         of Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Whitehall Street Real Estate Lim-
         ited Partnership V ("Whitehall").  As we discussed in our pro-
         posal letter, we believe the prospects of a significant divi-
         dend stream makes it an intelligent economic decision for
         Whitehall to exercise its warrants and participate in the
         rights offering on the same terms as other shareholders as an
         alternative to having the warrants and SARs cashed out in the
         Merger.  In addition, we believe it is a sensible business de-
         cision for Whitehall to agree to subordinate the 14% Debentures
         and modify its covenants -- as it had offered to do in connec-
         tion with Goldman Sachs' earlier rights offering proposal -- as
         an alternative to having the 14% Debentures prepaid.

                   However, if Goldman and Whitehall do not consent to
         the Preferred Scenario, we believe an alternative structure
         exists (the "Alternative Scenario") to enable the transaction
         to be consummated at the cost of some time delay.  Under the
         Alternative Scenario, (i) the 14% Debentures and the Floating
         Rate Notes would be retired in June 1996 from the net cash flow
         generated in the first quarter of 1996 by the proceeds of
         debtor-in-possession ("DIP") financing that are provided to
         RCPI, (ii) the merger agreement would provide for the cancella-
         tion of the Whitehall warrants and SARs in exchange for an
         amount equal to the difference between the exercise price and
         the fair market value of the Newco common stock, (iii) Newco
         would issue $75 million of subordinated debt to replace the 14%
         Debentures in the Newco capital structure and (iv) Newco would
         effect an additional $30 million to $50 million rights offering
         after the Merger to replace up to $47.5 million of equity capi-
         tal that would have been received by Newco upon exercise of the
         Newco warrants by Whitehall under the Preferred Scenario.  The
         DIP financing would constitute part of the senior financing
         contemplated by our proposal.

                   The following sets forth the steps for the Alterna-
         tive Scenario:

         Step 1:   Gotham establishes a wholly owned Delaware corpora-
                   tion, Newco.

         Step 2:   Execution of agreements:
                   -- Merger agreement between RCPI and Newco
                   -- Financing agreement between RCPI and Senior
                        Lender
                   -- Financing agreement between Newco and Subordinated 
                        Lender


                                       -2-<PAGE>







                   -- Financing agreement between DIP and DIP Lender
                   -- Subordination agreement between Senior Lender
                        and Subordinated Lender
                   -- Standby purchase agreements between Newco
                        and standby purchasers


         Step 3:   RCPI mails proxy statement seeking shareholder ap-
                   proval for merger of RCPI into Newco.  

         Step 4:   Shareholders approve Merger.

         Step 5:   RCPI receives the proceeds from the DIP financing on
                   or prior to March 31, 1996.

         Step 6:   RCPI calls Current Coupon Debentures, 14% Debentures
                   and Floating Rate Notes for redemption.  RCPI issues
                   rights to buy $105 million of Newco Common Stock.

         Step 7:   Floating Rate Notes and 14% Debentures retired in
                   June 1996 at par from net cash flow generated by DIP
                   financing.

         Step 8:   RCPI senior financing and Newco subordinated financ-
                   ing close.  Current Coupon Debentures redeemed.
                   Merger closes.  Whitehall warrants (if not thereto-
                   fore exercised) and SARs cancelled in exchange for an
                   amount based upon difference between exercise price
                   and fair market value of Newco common stock.  Newco
                   closes initial rights offering.

         Step 9:   Newco conducts additional $30 - $50 million rights 
                   offering.

         2.  Describe the equity ownership, including number of shares
              and percentage ownership, on both a primary and fully di-
              luted ownership basis at each step of your proposed trans-
              action.

                   The equity ownership for the Preferred Scenario is 
         outlined on Exhibit A.  The equity ownership for the Alterna-
         tive Scenario is outlined on Exhibit B.


                                       -3-<PAGE>







                   As shown in Exhibit A, following the consummation of
         the Preferred Scenario, if all rights are exercised pro rata,
         public shareholders of RCPI would own 80.1% of the outstanding
         shares of Newco, and Whitehall would own 19.9%.  If no rights
         are exercised (other than by Whitehall and the standby purchas-
         ers), the public shareholders would own 57.2%, Whitehall would
         own 19.9%, and the standby purchasers would own 22.9% (exclud-
         ing any shares currently owned by the standby purchasers).

                   Under the Alternative Scenario, we have illustrated
         two versions in Exhibit B based upon whether Whitehall exer-
         cises its RCPI warrants prior to the Merger.  Under the version
         in which Whitehall exercises its warrants, if the rights in
         both rights offerings are exercised pro rata by all sharehold-
         ers, the public shareholders would own 87.1% of the Newco
         shares outstanding following the transactions with Whitehall
         owning 12.9%.  If such rights are exercised only by Whitehall
         and the standby purchasers, following the consummation of the
         transactions the public shareholders would own 57.1%, Whitehall
         would own 12.9% and the standby purchasers would own 29.9% (ex-
         cluding any shares currently owned by the standby purchasers)
         of the outstanding Newco shares.

                   Under the version of the Alternative Scenario in
         which Whitehall does not exercise its RCPI warrants prior to
         the Merger, public shareholders would own 93.4% and Whitehall
         would own 6.6% of the outstanding Newco shares following the
         transactions assuming the rights are exercised pro rata by all
         shareholders.  If the rights in both rights offerings are exer-
         cised only by Whitehall and the standby purchasers, following
         the consummation of the transactions the public shareholders
         would own 57.6%, Whitehall would own 6.6% and the standby pur-
         chasers would own 35.8% (excluding any shares currently owned
         by the standby purchasers) of the outstanding Newco shares.

         3. Describe the assumed timing of each step of you proposed
              transaction.

                   See response to Question 1.  We contemplate that
         definitive agreements would be executed and proxy material
         mailed to shareholders by the end of this year or early next
         year, with the shareholder meeting to be held in the first
         quarter of 1996.  The closing of the Merger would occur by the
         end of the first quarter of 1996 in the Preferred Scenario; in
         the Alternative Scenario, the DIP financing would occur by the
         end of the first quarter, with the Merger closing promptly af-
         ter the retirement of the 14% Debentures on June 3, 1996.


                                       -4-<PAGE>







         4.  How would your proposed transaction be integrated into the
              Borrower's bankruptcy proceeding?

                   We anticipate that there will be no difficulty in
         negotiating a plan of reorganization which transfers the prop-
         erty to RCPI on terms that will be satisfactory to us, since we
         are somewhat flexible as to the method of transfer of the prop-
         erty as well as the timing of such transfer.  As set forth in
         our responses to Questions 1 and 13, the Alternative Scenario
         contemplates the obtaining of DIP financing to which the prop-
         erty would be subject upon its transfer to RCPI, and we know of
         no major impediment to such financing being arranged on accept-
         able terms.

         5.   Which "major shareholders" have indicated that they will
              support your proposed transaction?

                   In addition to Gotham Partners, L.P. which owns or
         has options to acquire 5.6% of the common stock, the following
         shareholders have indicated publicly or in letters to Gotham,
         to the Company, or in public statements that they support our
         proposal.

              Shareholder                   % Ownership
              Leucadia National Corp.            7.1% 
              Goodman & Company                  5.0%
              Elliott Associates, L.P.           2.6%
              Dickstein Partners, L.P.           1.6%
              O Hill Partners                    ~2% and ~$50 million of
                                                 Current Pay Convertible
                                                 Debentures

                   In addition, we have received numerous telephone
         calls and letters from small shareholders who have indicated
         support for our proposal.

         6.   Has Goldman, Sachs or Whitehall agreed to participate in
              your proposed transaction?

                   We have had several discussions with Goldman Sachs
         but they have not to date agreed to participate.  As noted in
         the response to question 1, we believe the Alternative Scenario
         can be consummated without the consent of Goldman Sachs or
         Whitehall.

         7.   Describe Gotham's investment strategy for Rockefeller Cen-
              ter.


                                       -5-<PAGE>







                   Our ultimate goal is to maximize shareholder value by
         maximizing the long term value of the property.  We intend to
         assist the Company in identifying the highest quality entrepre-
         neurial management team and designing an incentive structure to
         best accomplish this goal.

         8.   How would Newco's Board of Directors be structured?

                   We contemplate a seven-member Board consisting of
         three representatives of Newco's principal stockholders and
         four independent directors.

         9.   What are Gotham's fee and expense estimates with respect
              to both the equity and debt financings?

              Equity -- Standby commitment fee for up to $150 million
                        rights offering 3%.

              Debt --   Mortgage brokerage 1%, Lender's fees and ex-
                        penses 1-2%.

         10.  Will the proposed rights offering be for RCPI or Newco
              Stock?

                   In order to provide flexibility in view of RCPI's
         9.8% ownership limitation and the restrictions placed on the
         Company under the terms of its agreements with Whitehall and
         Goldman Sachs, we contemplate that the rights offering will be
         for Newco stock.  The Newco rights would be issued by RCPI to
         its shareholders and the holders of SARs and warrants prior to
         the Merger, with the closing of the rights offering to occur
         immediately after the Merger.

         11.  Has Gotham received commitments from standby investors
              willing to take up the rights which are not exercised in
              the rights offering?

                   Leucadia National Corp. has publicly announced that
         it is willing to commit to be the standby investor for the en-
         tire rights offering.

         12.  How will Whitehall's warrants and SARs in RCPI be treated
              in the proposed transaction?

                   In the Preferred Scenario, the merger agreement would
         provide for Whitehall to exchange its SARs and warrants for
         Newco warrants which would be immediately exercised by White-
         hall.


                                       -6-<PAGE>







                   In the Alternative Scenario, the merger agreement
         would provide for the Whitehall SARs and warrants to be can-
         celled in exchange for a payment equal to the difference be-
         tween the fair market value of the Newco common stock and the
         exercise price of the Whitehall SARs and warrants.  Whitehall
         could also elect to exercise its warrants prior to the consum-
         mation of the Merger.

         13.       If Gotham decides to retire the 14% Debentures using
                   the cash flow sweep provision, how will the ad-
                   ditional $75 million be raised?

                   In the Alternative Scenario, the 14% Debentures would
         be retired through the provision to RCPI of the proceeds of a
         DIP financing that would be made on or before March 31, 1996.

         14.  Describe the process and timetable for repaying the Float-
              ing Rate Notes and 14% Debentures?

                   Under the Preferred Scenario, the Floating Rate Notes
         would be prepaid at the time of the Merger pursuant to their
         terms, including the 1 1/2% prepayment penalty.  The new senior
         financing would provide the funds for such prepayment. The 14%
         Debentures would remain outstanding.

                   Under the Alternative Scenario, the Floating Rate
         Notes and the 14% Debentures would be retired in June 1996
         through the net cash flow generated by the proceeds from a DIP
         financing in the first quarter of 1996.

         15.  Has Gotham received a firm commitment for its long term
              debt financing?

                   We have received an expression of interest from an
         institutional lender for a minimum of $75,000,000 and a maximum
         of $150,000,000 of subordinated financing in the Alternative
         Scenario.  This institutional lender has requested confidenti-
         ality as to its identity.  We will separately furnish to RCPI a
         copy of a letter from this lender detailing the proposed terms
         of the subordinated financing.

                   We have received an expression of interest for senior
         debt financing from Credit Lyonnais.  Credit Lyonnais has ex-
         pressed interest in providing a minimum of $300,000,000 of se-
         nior debt financing up to a maximum of $800,000,000 of financ-
         ing depending on the ultimate capital structure and the terms
         of the transfer of the property.  Credit Lyonnais has indicated
         to us that they intend to contact RCPI directly to express
         their interest in providing this financing. 


                                       -7-<PAGE>







                   Nomura Asset Capital Corp. ("NAAC") has also ex-
         pressed interest in providing financing with respect to the
         Transaction.  The amount and terms of the financing are subject
         to the amount of "underwritable cash flow" the Property gener-
         ates.  NAAC requires further property level due diligence to
         determine underwritable cash flow.

         16.       What would be all the terms of the new financing?

                   As mentioned above, the terms of the subordinated
         financing will be furnished separately to RCPI.  We are still
         discussing the terms of the senior financing with several lend-
         ers.  Ultimately, we believe the senior financing will be of-
         fered at a rate of LIBOR plus 250 basis points or lower for a
         term of ten years or more, with a one to two percent fee to the
         lender.

         17.       Will the new debt financing be prepayable or contain
                   principal amortization?

                   The terms of the subordinate financing are outlined
         on the attached letter.

                   The senior financing is likely to be prepayable with-
         out penalty.  We believe it may be appropriate to fix or cap
         the floating rate interest payments of the loan.  In that
         event, there may be costs associated with unwinding any inter-
         est rate swaps or caps.

                   The senior debt amortization schedule will probably
         require amortization such that the total corporate and
         property-level debt outstanding (net of cash) will not exceed
         $830,000,000.  We anticipate that no principal amortization
         will be required in 1996, minimal or no amortization in 1997,
         and thereafter, the amount of amortization will be that re-
         quired to ensure that net debt does not exceed $830,000,000
         during the term of the loan.

         18.       How does Gotham propose to replace the short term
                   equity financing currently available in the Zell
                   transaction?

                   In light of the Company's 9.8% restriction, we be-
         lieve that Paine Webber should identify equity investors who
         would replace the Zell equity financing.  If necessary, we will
         assist Paine Webber in identifying such investors.   Alterna-
         tively, we believe that Mr. Zell may be willing to assume the
         original Zell put options.  We will also participate in and
         assist RCPI in replacing the $10 million working capital line
         provided by Zell.


                                       -8-<PAGE>







         19.  Has Gotham received a financing commitment from third-
              parties willing to purchase the shares in RCPI it is un-
              able to purchase due to the 9.8% ownership restriction?

                   See question 18.
