THE LOAN

SECTION 2.01.     Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lender agrees to make a loan (the “Loan”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an amount equal to the Loan Amount. Any principal amount of the Loan prepaid by the Borrower may not be reborrowed.

SECTION 2.02.     Prepayments.

(a)     The Borrower may, upon notice to the Lender, at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay the Loan in whole or in part without premium or penalty, but subject to Section 3.04; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Lender not later than 11:00 a.m., three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment and (ii) any prepayment made pursuant to this paragraph 2.02(a) shall be in a principal amount of at least $1,000,000 or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

(b)     If any Collateral Shortfall occurs, the Lender may deliver notice thereof to the Borrower (a “Collateral Shortfall Notice”). The Borrower shall, by 11:00 a.m. on the third Exchange Day after receiving a Collateral Shortfall Notice, (i) prepay the Loan and/or (ii) pledge and deliver to the Lender Eligible Mark-to-Market Collateral pursuant to Section 3(c) of the Security Agreement, in an aggregate amount sufficient to make the Loan Value on such date, after giving effect to such prepayment and/or delivery (if any), less than or equal to 57.5% of the Collateral Value as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Exchange Day.

(c)     If the Borrower makes a Permitted Share Sale, the Borrower shall by 4:00 p.m. the Business Day after the date of such Permitted Share Sale deliver to the Lender a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower specifying the amount of the Loan to be prepaid in connection with such Permitted Share Sale (such amount, the “Permitted Share Sale Prepayment Amount”), which shall be determined as follows:

(i)     if the price per share of LXP Common Stock so Disposed of by the Borrower is greater than the Initial Share Closing Price, then the amount of the Loan to be prepaid shall be equal to the Initial Share Closing Price multiplied by the number of shares of LXP Common Stock Disposed of by the Borrower in such Permitted Share Sale; and

(ii)     if the price per share of LXP Common Stock so Disposed of by the Borrower is less than or equal to the Initial Share Closing Price, then the amount of the Loan to be prepaid shall be equal to the lesser of (A) such price per share multiplied by the number of shares of LXP Common Stock Disposed of by the Borrower in such Permitted Share Sale and (B) 150% multiplied by (1) the outstanding principal amount of

14

the Loan prior to such prepayment divided by (2) the number of Collateral Shares prior to such Disposition.

Not later than the Business Day immediately following the settlement date of the Permitted Share Sale, the Lender shall apply all or a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds deposited into the Collateral Account with respect to such Permitted Share Sale equal to the related Permitted Share Sale Prepayment Amount to prepay the Loan and the outstanding amount of the Loan shall be reduced by the amount of such prepayment.

(d)     Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.04.

SECTION 2.03.     Repayment of Loan. The Borrower shall repay to the Lender on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of the Loan outstanding on such date together with all accrued interest thereon.

SECTION 2.04.     Interest.

(a)     Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, the Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period from the first day of such period to the last day thereof at the Interest Rate.

(b)     If any amount payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of (x) the Interest Rate applicable to such amount and (y) 2.0% per annum for each day until such amount and any interest thereon is paid in full. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c)     Except as expressly provided herein, accrued interest on the Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

SECTION 2.05.     Computation of Interest. All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on the Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on the Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid. Each determination by the Lender of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Any Interest Period stated to end on a day numerically corresponding to a given day in a specified month thereafter shall, if there is no corresponding day, end on the last Business Day of such month.

SECTION 2.06.     Evidence of Debt. The Loan shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by the Lender in the ordinary course of business. The

15

accounts or records maintained by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loan made by the Lender to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. Upon the request of the Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lender one or more Notes, which shall evidence the Loan in addition to such accounts or records.

SECTION 2.07.     Payments Generally.

(a)     All payments to be made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Lender at the applicable Lending Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. All payments received by the Lender after 3:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest shall continue to accrue.

(b)     If any payment to be made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest.

(c)     Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate the Lender to obtain the funds for the Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by the Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for the Loan in any particular place or manner.

ARTICLE III

SECTION 3.01.     Taxes.

(a)     [Reserved]

16

SECTION 3.02.     Illegality. If the Lender determines that (a) any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Lender or its Lending Office to (i) make, maintain or fund the Loan or (ii) determine or charge the Interest Rate, or (b) any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of the Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by the Lender to the Borrower, the Borrower shall, upon demand from the Lender, prepay the Loan (plus any accrued interest thereon), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if the Lender may lawfully continue to maintain the Loan to such day, or immediately, if the Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain the Loan; provided that if, in case of clause (a)(ii) or clause (b) above, the Borrower upon receipt of such notice promptly requests a continuation of the Loan, such notice and the effect thereof, will be deemed rescinded and the Interest Rate on the Loan will thereafter be calculated with reference to the Base Rate rather than LIBOR until such time as the Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.

SECTION 3.03.     Increased Costs; Reserves.

(a)     Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i)      impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Interest Rate);

(ii)     subject the Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or the Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Lender in respect thereof (except for Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by the Lender); or

(iii)     impose on the Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or the Loan made by the Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining the Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make the Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of the Lender, the Borrower will pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)     Capital Requirements. If the Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting the Lender or its Lending Office or the Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital or on the capital of the Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loan made by the Lender to a level below that which the Lender or the Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Lender’s policies and the policies of the Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the

17

Borrower will pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender or the Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)     Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of the Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d)     Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that the Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

SECTION 3.04.     Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of the Lender from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate the Lender for and hold the Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a)     any payment or prepayment of the Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for the Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration or otherwise), or

(b)     any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of the Lender to make the Loan) to prepay or borrow the Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower,

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain the Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by the Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lender under this Section 3.04, the Lender shall be deemed to have funded the Loan made by it at the Interest Rate for the Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not the Loan was in fact so funded.

SECTION 3.05.     Mitigation Obligations. If the Lender requests compensation under Section 3.03, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to the Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of the Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if the Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then the Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking the Loan

18

hereunder or assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates and to take any other actions reasonable in the sole judgment of the Lender, if, in the sole judgment of the Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.03, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with any such designation, assignment or action.

or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (and its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Lender or any of its Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower, other than any such information that is available to the Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.

34
