Press release from the issuing company

Aug. 5, 2002-- In the largest lease transaction to occur in Westchester County during the last two years, Fuji Photo Film U.S.A., Inc., will move its headquarters to Valhalla, Westchester County, NY, it was announced today. The company, which is the American sales and marketing subsidiary of the Fortune Global 500, Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd., of Tokyo (FUJIY) has leased approximately 164,000 square feet at Reckson Summit at 200 Summit Lake Drive, a Class A property owned by Reckson Associates Realty Corp. A world leader in imaging and information products and services, Fujifilm will occupy several floors at the three-building Reckson Summit office park. Fujifilm selected the new location upon completing a three-year search for a new headquarters in Westchester and Fairfield Counties, as well as various locations outside the New York Tri-State area. The 10-year lease, which commences in April 2003, comprises over half of the 249,551-square-foot building at 200 Summit Lake Drive. The company will occupy the entire 3rd and 4th floors and a portion of 2nd floor.

Paul Myers Senior Vice President of the CB Richard Ellis New York City office and Frank Tomasulo Senior Vice President of the New York/Connecticut Suburban office, represented the tenant in the transaction. CB Richard Ellis has a long-term relationship with Fujifilm, and upon today's transaction closing will have represented them on nearly 1 million square feet of commercial leases in major markets throughout the United States. "Fujifilm investigated a number of options in its search for new corporate office space and after weighing them all, we are very pleased to be remaining in Westchester County and New York," explained Stanley E.
