Upon approval of the Proposed Qualified Property by the LXP Board, the Managing General Partner shall provide or cause the Asset Manager to provide to the Advisor and the Fund GP notice of such approval, the Acquisition Memorandum described in Section 3.6(b) hereof; provided however that the Managing General Partner shall not recommend to the Fund GP the acquisition of any Proposed Qualified Property that does not satisfy or comply with the Acquisition Parameters (although the Managing General Partner, at its election, may submit such property to the Partnership for its consideration pursuant to Section 3.6(c)). The Fund GP shall have fifteen (15) Business Days after its receipt of the documents described in the preceding sentence to approve or disapprove, in its sole and absolute discretion, a Proposed Qualified Property. If the Fund GP fails to respond to the Managing General Partner's recommendation within such fifteen (15) Business Days, the Managing General Partner may send to the Fund GP and the Advisor a second notice requesting a response within ten (10) Business Days after actual receipt by the Fund GP and the Advisor. Any failure by the Fund GP to approve a Proposed Qualified Property within such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to be a disapproval of such Proposed Qualified Property. (b) Acquisition Memorandum. For each Proposed Qualified Property, the Managing General Partner or Asset Manager shall deliver to the Fund GP and 26 the Advisor an Acquisition Memorandum stating that such Proposed Qualified Property is a net-leased facility and describing such Proposed Qualified Property in reasonable detail, including without limitation: the size and location thereof, the improvements thereon, the operating history and financial status thereof and the material findings of all due diligence undertaken to date with respect thereto, including the material findings to date of any Environmental Assessment and/or Physical Inspection Report; the structure of the contemplated transaction, including whether an SP Subsidiary will take title to the Proposed Qualified Property, the cost to the Partnership, including the purchase price, the amount and material terms of any mortgage indebtedness to be assumed, incurred or taken subject to; and the material provisions of the net lease or leases thereon and copies of such leases (or in the case of proposed leases, drafts or reasonably detailed abstracts of proposed leases), the identification of each tenant thereon and financial information relating to each such tenant and setting forth such other information as the Advisor may reasonably request. The Acquisition Memorandum shall include a credit analysis of any tenant net-leasing such property, including the credit rating of any such tenant by Standard & Poor's, Moody's Investors Services, Inc., Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co. or Fitch IBCA, or, if a credit rating of any such tenant is not available from the foregoing credit-rating companies, a credit analysis thereof by KDP or any other credit rating entity agreed to by the General Partners. (c) Properties Which Do Not Comply With Acquisition Parameters. With respect to any Proposed Qualified Property that does not comply in all respects with the Acquisition Parameters and that the Managing General Partner elects to submit to the Fund GP for approval pursuant to Section 3.6(a) hereof, the Managing General Partner or Asset Manager shall deliver to the Fund GP and the Advisor a reasonably detailed description of the ways in which such Proposed Qualified Property does not comply with the Acquisition Parameters. (d) Acquisition of Approved Qualified Properties. Upon receipt of the written approval of the Fund GP as provided in Section 3.6(a) above of the acquisition by the Partnership of a Proposed Qualified Property (any Proposed Qualified Property so approved, an "APPROVED QUALIFIED PROPERTY"), the Managing General Partner or Asset Manager shall take all commercially reasonable efforts on behalf of the Partnership to negotiate and execute all documents necessary to acquire the Approved Qualified Property pursuant to and in accordance with the terms approved by the Partners (including formation of an SP Subsidiary, if applicable) and to complete due diligence that the Managing General Partner deems reasonably necessary, including (to the extent not already completed) obtaining an Environmental Assessment and a Physical Inspection Report. The Managing General Partner or Asset Manager shall keep the Advisor reasonably informed of the progress of the Partnership's acquisition of any Approved Qualified Property, including the material findings of all due diligence 27 and of any material matters that arise during the course thereof. Upon completion of all due diligence undertaken as specified above with respect to an Approved Qualified Property and as a condition to completing the acquisition of the Approved Qualified Property, the Managing General Partner or Asset Manager shall deliver the Advisor a memorandum summarizing the material findings of the completed due diligence and any changes in the status of such Approved Qualified Property since the date of the Acquisition Memorandum described in Section 3.6(b) above and the Fund GP shall confirm its continuing approval of the acquisition before the Managing General Partner commits (on a nonrefundable basis) the Partnership's funds as provided below. Upon request, the Managing General Partner or Asset Manager will provide to the Fund GP or the Advisor copies of the Environmental Assessment, the Physical Inspection Report and the survey after completion thereof. Notwithstanding such deliveries, the Managing General Partner and Asset Manager shall remain solely responsible for such due diligence and any liability arising in connection therewith, and neither the Fund GP nor the Advisor shall be obligated to read or review such memorandum, Environmental Assessment, Physical Inspection Report or survey. It is understood and agreed that (x) the Managing General Partner may deposit its own funds, or cause the Partnership to deposit Partnership funds, as refundable earnest money, and (y) the Partnership's funds shall be substituted (and such funds reimbursed to the Managing General Partner) or committed, as the case may be, on a nonrefundable basis only after due diligence is completed and the Fund GP has confirmed its continuing approval of the acquisition. After the Partnership has committed its funds on a nonrefundable basis in accordance with the prior sentence, if the terms of the acquisition change in any material respect from the terms described in the Acquisition Memorandum, such change shall require the consent of the Fund GP. Within five (5) Business Days after the closing of an Approved Qualified Property, the Managing General Partner shall deliver to the Advisor (x) a closing statement acknowledging the receipt of and setting forth the application of the Partners' Capital Contributions and any other funds of the Partnership used to acquire such Approved Qualified Property or to pay closing costs (including an estimate of costs not finalized at closing, including legal fees and costs) associated therewith and (y) copies of all certificates of insurance delivered in connection with such closing as requested by the Fund GP or the Advisor. (e) Disapproved Qualified Properties. If the Fund GP (x) disapproves (or is deemed to have disapproved as provided in Section 3.6(a) hereof) any Proposed Qualified Property, (y) fails after the completion of due diligence to confirm its continuing approval of the acquisition as provided in Section 3.6(d) above, or (z) otherwise withdraws its approval of an Approved Qualified Property as provided in Section 3.6(d) above, the Managing General Partner shall not cause 28 or permit the Partnership to acquire such Proposed Qualified Property or Approved Qualified Property and the LXP Partners or their designee shall have the right to acquire such Proposed Qualified Property or Approved Qualified Property for its own account or with or in connection with any other Person. (f) Acquisition Costs. Except as provided in the following sentence and in Section 3.6(g) hereof, LXP or the Asset Manager (as the case may be) shall be liable for all costs and expenses arising in connection with the identification or evaluation of, the bidding on and the structuring and negotiation of and contracting for the acquisition or attempted acquisition of, and the due diligence undertaken in connection with, any Proposed Qualified Property or Approved Qualified Property (such activities, the "ACQUISITION ACTIVITIES"). The Partnership shall be liable for all reasonable and customary costs and expenses of Third Parties retained in connection with the Acquisition Activities; provided that if for any reason other than pursuant to Section 3.7(b) or Section 11.1 hereof any LXP Affiliated Party (instead of the Partnership or an SP Subsidiary) acquires title to any Proposed Qualified Property or Approved Qualified Property, LXP shall pay all of the costs and expenses (and reimburse the Partnership for any refundable or nonrefundable deposits funded by the Partnership in connection with the acquisition of such property) incurred or to be incurred in connection with the Acquisition Activities relating to such Proposed Qualified Property or Approved Qualified Property (it being understood that the proviso in this sentence applies only in those circumstances in which any LXP Affiliated Party (rather than the Partnership or an SP Subsidiary) acquires a Proposed Qualified Property or an Approved Qualified Property and therefore LXP would not pay such costs and expenses in the case of LXP's exercise of the Right of First Refusal or a buy/sell under this Agreement). (g) Acquisition Fee; Financing Fee. Upon the acquisition of any Approved Qualified Property by the Partnership or by an SP Subsidiary (including any Approved Qualified Property contributed in whole or in part by LXP to the Partnership), pursuant to this Section 3.6, each Fund Partner shall pay the Managing General Partner or the Asset Manager an acquisition fee (the "ACQUISITION FEE") equal to the amount of such Fund Partner's Percentage Interest multiplied by the following sum: (m) (1) the amount up to $10 million of the purchase price of such acquired Approved Qualified Property multiplied by (2) 0.90% plus (n) (1) the amount from $10 million to $20 million of the purchase price of such acquired Approved Qualified Property multiplied by (2) 0.75% plus 29 (o) the amount over $20 million of the purchase price of such acquired Approved Qualified Property multiplied by (2) 0.65%. For example, if the purchase price of such acquired Approved Qualified Property were $25 million, the Fund's Acquisition Fee would equal 69.65% of $197,500 (or $137,558.75) and the Fund GP's Acquisition Fee would equal 0.35% of $197,500 (or $691.25). In addition, if the Asset Manager arranges financing for the purchase of an Approved Qualified Property without the use of a third-party broker then each Fund Partner shall pay the Asset Manager a fee (the "FINANCING FEE") equal to the amount of such Fund Partner's Percentage Interest multiplied by the following sum: (x) (1) the amount up to $10 million of the financing arranged for such acquired Approved Qualified Property multiplied by (2) 0.75% plus (y) (1) the amount from $10 million to $20 million of the financing arranged of such acquired Approved Qualified Property multiplied by (2) 0.50% plus (z) the amount over $20 million of the financing arranged of such acquired Approved Qualified Property multiplied by (2) 0.25%. For example, if the amount financed for such Approved Qualified Property were $25 million, the Fund Partner's Financing Fee would equal 69.65% of $137,500 ($95,768.75) and the Fund GP's Financing Fee would equal 0.35% of $137,500 ($481.25). (h) Further Restrictions on Acquisitions. Under no circumstances whatsoever shall the Partnership acquire any property (i) that either Fund Partner would be prohibited by applicable law or public policy from acquiring if either Fund Partner were to make such acquisition directly in its own name or (ii) that would give rise to nonqualifying income for purposes of the real estate investment trust tests set forth in Section 856 of the Code or (iv) that is or will be subject to any leases that would not be treated at "true leases" for federal income tax purposes. SECTION 3.7 SALE OF QUALIFIED PROPERTIES; RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. (a) Authority to Sell. The Managing General Partner shall have no authority to and shall not initiate the sale of any Qualified Property without approval by the Fund GP (except as provided in Section 3.7(b) and Section 11.1 30 hereof). From and after the earlier of (i) the Rights Trigger Date and (ii) the date on which the Partnership shall have invested all of the Partners' Capital Commitment, the Fund GP or LXP GP may each require the sale of any or all of the Qualified Properties as provided in Section 3.7(b) below. (b) Required Sales; the Right of First Refusal. The Fund GP or LXP GP shall each have the right, at any time after the earlier of (i) the Rights Trigger Date and (ii) the date on which the Partnership shall have invested all of the Partners' Capital Commitment, and from time to time thereafter, to require the Partnership to sell any or all of the Qualified Properties to a third party or parties, in each instance by written notice (a "SALE NOTICE") to the other General Partner; provided, however, that a General Partner's right to require a sale under this Section 3.7(b) is subject to and limited by a General Partner's ability to exercise its Right of First Refusal set forth below or its rights under Section 11.1. Upon receipt of any Sale Notice, the Managing General Partner shall commence promptly to market and sell to third parties on behalf of the Partnership such Qualified Property or Qualified Properties specified in the Sale Notice. If the Partnership receives a Bona Fide Offer, as defined below, the Managing General Partner shall inform the Fund GP in writing of the terms and conditions thereof and the General Partner that delivered the Sale Notice (the "SALE GENERAL PARTNER") shall respond in writing as to whether it will accept or reject such Bona Fide Offer within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such notification from the Managing General Partner. If the Sale General Partner fails to respond in writing within the above-referenced fifteen day period, the Sale General Partner shall be deemed to have accepted such Bona Fide Offer. If the Sale General Partner has accepted or has been deemed to have accepted such Bona Fide Offer, the other General Partner (the "NON-SALE GENERAL PARTNER") or an Affiliate of the Non-Sale General Partner shall have the absolute right to purchase such Qualified Property or Qualified Properties upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in such Bona Fide Offer for cash or its equivalent (such right, the "RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL"). The Non-Sale General Partner shall, within fifteen (15) days after the Sale General Partner's decision to accept such Bona Fide Offer, indicate in writing to the Sale General Partner whether or not the Non-Sale General Partner has elected to exercise its Right of First Refusal. Failure to send such notification within fifteen (15) days shall constitute an election by the Non-Sale General Partner to waive its Right of First Refusal with respect to such Qualified Property and the Partnership may sell the Qualified Property to the third party making the Bona Fide Offer, but only (x) upon substantially the same terms and conditions contained in such Bona Fide Offer and (y) within one hundred fifty (150) days after the Non-Sale General Partner waived its Right of First Refusal. If the Non-Sale General Partner exercises its Right of First Refusal, the Sale General Partner shall consent to the sale of the Qualified Property or Qualified Properties to the Non-Sale General Partner, or its Affiliate, on substantially the same terms and conditions contained in the Bona Fide Offer. A "BONA FIDE OFFER" shall mean, 31 with respect to the Qualified Property or Qualified Properties described in the Sale Notice, an offer (in the form of a non-binding letter of intent or other written offer) made in good faith by a financially responsible, stable party that is not Affiliated with any Partner having adequate financial worth, not having a reputation in the community for criminal, immoral or unconscionable behavior, and having substantial experience in the ownership or operation of real property. (c) Properties in Foreclosure. In the event a lender to the Partnership or a SP Subsidiary has initiated or threatens to initiate a foreclosure proceeding with respect to any Qualified Property securing such lender's loan to the Partnership or such SP Subsidiary (it being understood that any such loan shall be non-recourse to the Partnership, such SP Subsidiary and the Partners), and the General Partners disagree as to whether such Qualified Property shall be transferred to the lender in satisfaction of such loan, the General Partner not in favor of such transfer shall have the right to purchase such Qualified Property from the Partnership for One Dollar ($1.00) provided such Partner assumes such loan in full and such lender releases the Partnership therefrom. No adjustments to the Capital Contributions, Capital Commitments, or Capital Account shall be made on account of a transfer made in accordance with this Section 3.7(c). (d) Time of the Essence. The Partners agree that time is of the essence with respect to the rights and obligations described in this Section 3.7. SECTION 3.8 LIMITATION ON PARTNERSHIP INDEBTEDNESS. (a) Maximum Debt. The total debt of the Partnership at any time shall not exceed sixty percent (60%) of the Partnership's capitalization which, when all Capital Commitments have been fully contributed, shall be $150,000,000 of maximum debt. (b) Non-Recourse to the Partners. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Partnership shall not incur debt that is recourse to the Partners, and the Partners shall not be liable for any debts or other obligations or liabilities incurred by the Partnership. SECTION 3.9 BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY. (a) LXP. Each LXP Affiliated Party may each engage in or possess any interest in other business ventures of any kind, independently or with others, including but not limited to the ownership, operation and management of net-leased real property, except as provided in this Section 3.9(a). LXP shall make available for purchase by the Partnership, and the Partnership shall have the right to purchase pursuant to Section 3.6 hereof, all 32 properties which satisfy or comply with all of the "Required Parameters" comprising the Acquisition Parameters. Any LXP Affiliated Party may acquire (v) the properties it is required to offer to the Partnership in accordance with this Section 3.9(a) only (1) if the seller will accept only O.P. Units in exchange therefor or (2) after the Fund GP or the Advisor has disapproved such acquisitions as provided in Section 3.6 hereof and (w) properties that it is not required to offer to the Partnership under this Section 3.9(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.9(a), the Partnership shall have no right to purchase pursuant to Section 3.6 hereof or this Section 3.9(a), any Acquiport Property (even if it otherwise meets the Acquisition Parameters) unless the Acquiport Entities determine not to acquire such property in accordance with the Acquiport Operating Agreements. (b) The Fund. The Fund and any of its Affiliates may engage in or possess any interest in other business ventures of any kind, independently or with others, including but not limited to the ownership, operation and management of net-leased real property. (c) Duties and Conflicts. Subject to the Managing General Partner's obligation to present net-leased properties to the Partnership pursuant to Section 3.6 and Section 3.9(a) hereof, each Partner recognizes that the other Partners and their Affiliates have or may have other business interests, activities and investments, some of which may be in conflict or competition with the business of the Partnership, and that such Persons are entitled to carry on such other business interests, activities and investments. The Partners and their Affiliates may engage in or possess an interest in any other business or venture of any kind, independently or with others, on their own behalf or on behalf of other entities with which they are affiliated or associated, and such Persons may engage in any activities, whether or not competitive with the Partnership, without any obligation (except as expressed in Sections 3.6 and 3.9(a)) to offer any interest in such activities to the Partnership or to any Partner. Neither the Partnership nor any Partner shall have any right, by virtue of this Agreement, in such activities, or the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of such activities, even if competitive with the business of the Partnership, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. SECTION 3.10 PAYMENTS TO LXP GP OR THE ASSET MANAGER. (a) Managing General Partner Expenses. The Managing General Partner shall pay (i) the salaries of all of its officers and regular employees and all employment expenses related thereto, (ii) general overhead expenses, (iii) record-keeping expenses, (iv) the costs of the office space and facilities which it requires, 33 (v) the costs of such office space and facilities as the Partnership reasonably requires, (vi) all out of pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the management of the Qualified Properties and the Partnership (other than Operating Expenses) and (vii) costs and expenses relating to Acquisition Activities as set forth in and limited by Section 3.6(f). (b) Partnership Expenses. The Partnership shall pay all Permitted Expenses. The Managing General Partner is authorized, in the name and on behalf of the Partnership, to reimburse itself for Permitted Expenses paid by the Managing General Partner or to reimburse the Asset Manager for Permitted Expenses paid by the Asset Manager; provided, that if for any reason any LXP Affiliated Party (instead of the Partnership or an SP Subsidiary, which (for the purpose of this sentence) shall not be deemed to be an LXP Affiliated Party) acquires title to any Proposed Qualified Property or Approved Qualified Property, LXP shall pay all of the costs and expenses incurred or to be incurred in connection with the Acquisition Activities relating to such Proposed Qualified Property or Approved Qualified Property (it being understood that the proviso in this sentence applies only in those circumstances in which an LXP Affiliated Party (rather than the Partnership or an SP Subsidiary) acquires a Proposed Qualified Property or an Approved Qualified Property and therefore LXP would not pay such costs and expenses in the case of LXP's exercise of the Right of First Refusal or a buy/sell under this Agreement). (c) Management Fee; Oversight Fee. The Managing General Partner shall cause the Partnership to pay to the Asset Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement (or to the Managing General Partner in the event the Management Agreement is terminated) an annual Management Fee ("MANAGEMENT FEE") equal to the Fund Partners' aggregate Percentage Interest multiplied by two and one-half percent (2.5%) of Net Rents, payable monthly. Such fee shall be calculated monthly, based on Net Rents received by the Partnership for such month, and adjusted as provided herein. Within thirty (30) days of the Partnership's receipt of the annual reports described in Section 4.3 hereof for a fiscal year, the Asset Manager shall provide to the Advisor and the Fund GP a written statement of reconciliation setting forth (a) the Net Rents for such fiscal year and the Management Fee payable to the Asset Manager in connection therewith, pursuant to this Agreement, (b) the Management Fee already paid by the Partnership to the Asset Manager during such fiscal year, and (c) either the amount owed to the Asset Manager by the Partnership (which shall be the excess, if any, of the Management Fee payable to the Asset Manager for such fiscal year pursuant to this Agreement over the Management Fee actually paid by the Partnership to the Asset Manager for such fiscal year) or the amount owed to the Partnership by the Asset Manager (which shall be the excess, if any, of the Management Fee actually paid by the Partnership to the Asset Manager for such fiscal year over the Management Fee payable to the Asset Manager for such 34 fiscal year pursuant to this Agreement). The Asset Manager or the Partnership, as the case may be, shall pay to the other the amount owed pursuant to clause (c) above within five (5) Business Days of the receipt by the Advisor and the Fund GP of the written statement of reconciliation described in this Section 3.10(c). In addition, a credit in an amount equal to two and one-half percent (2.5%) of Net Rents for the fiscal year (or applicable portion thereof), less the Management Fee, as adjusted above (or the applicable portion thereof), shall be reserved on the Partnership books until a Capital Call is made by the Managing General Partner in accordance with Section 5.1(b) hereof, whereupon the amount of the credit shall be applied, in whole or in part, to the extent necessary to fund the LXP Partners' pro rata shares of such Capital Call and will be treated for purposes of this Agreement as if each pro rata share of such amount were an actual Capital Contribution made by the respective LXP Partner which (1) reduces the respective aggregate Capital Commitment of each LXP Partner and (2) gives rise to an entitlement to allocations (but only out of subsequent Profits), and related distributions, in amounts that reflect the amounts that would have been allocated and distributed if such notional capital contributions had constituted actual Capital Contributions, including a return of such notional capital contributions to the LXP Partners pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof. In those cases in which a tenant of any Qualified Property requests that the Partnership provide property management services at such tenant's expense, Asset Manager shall be entitled to an oversight fee for such property management services for the tenant of such Qualified Property equal to one half of one percent (0.50%) of the Net Rent from such Qualified Property ("OVERSIGHT FEE"), which Oversight Fee shall be payable by the tenant of such Qualified Property, in accordance with the terms as such tenant and Asset Manager may agree. Concurrently with the reconciliation statement required above, the Asset Manager shall provide to the Advisor and the Fund GP a written statement setting forth all Oversight Fees paid to the Asset Manager during such fiscal year and the Net Rents relating to such Qualified Properties for such fiscal year. (d) Acquisition Fees; Financing Fees. The Fund Partners shall pay the Acquisition Fees and Financing Fees in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.6(g). SECTION 3.11 OTHER DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE MANAGING GENERAL PARTNER. (a) Partnership's Continued Existence. The Managing General Partner shall take all reasonable actions which may be necessary or appropriate for the continuation of the Partnership's valid existence as a limited partnership under the laws of the State of Delaware and of each other jurisdiction in which such 35 existence is necessary to protect the limited liability of the Partners or to enable the Partnership to conduct the business in which it is engaged. (b) Personal Liability. The Managing General Partner shall at all times use its best efforts to conduct its affairs and the affairs of the Partnership in such a manner that the Limited Partners shall not have any personal liability with respect to any Partnership liability or obligation in excess of that portion of their respective Capital Commitments actually called by the Managing General Partner pursuant to Section 5.1(a) and Section 5.1(b) hereof. (c) Partnership for Tax Purposes. The Managing General Partner shall take all actions necessary to assure that the Partnership will be treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes and be governed by the applicable provisions of Subchapter K of Chapter 1 of the Code.

(e) Deviations from the Annual Budget. The Managing General Partner shall verbally inform the Advisor as soon as practicable of any actual or potential variance from any budget line item of the Annual Budget portion of the Annual Plan for any fiscal year of the Partnership which (x) exceeds the greater of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000) or five percent (5%) of the amount allocated to such budget line item or, (y) when added to all other costs and expenses already exceeding their applicable budget line items for such fiscal year, exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) for a particular Qualified Property or an average (taking into account all Qualified Properties then owned by the Partnership) of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) per Qualified Property. (f) Time Devoted to the Partnership. The Managing General Partner and its officers and key employees shall devote such time and attention to the Partnership business as shall be necessary to supervise the Partnership's business and affairs in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. (g) Fee Disclosure. Within 10 days after the date of this Agreement, the Managing General Partner shall disclose in writing to the Fund GP (the "FEE DISCLOSURE") all fees, bonuses and other compensation paid by or on behalf of the Managing General Partner to any placement agent, finder or other individual or entity (other than the officers and employees of the Managing General Partner) in connection with the purchase by the Fund Partners of their interest in the Partnership. The Managing General Partner may omit from the Fee Disclosure 36 fees and expenses paid to its counsel (Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker LLP) in connection with the organization of the Partnership, provided that such counsel has not also represented the Fund Partners in connection with the formation of the Partnership and has not been involved in any form of solicitation relating to the Partnership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any subscription or other agreement relating hereto, the Managing General Partner hereby agrees that the Fund GP or its Affiliates may disclose the information contained in the Fee Disclosure to the public. The Managing General Partner represents and warrants that all information contained in the Fee Disclosure will be true, correct and complete. In the event that the Fund GP does not receive the Fee Disclosure within the time period provided above, or the Fund GP determines that the Fee Disclosure contains a material inaccuracy or omission, the Fund Partners shall have the option, in their sole discretion and without liability to the Managing General Partner or any third party, to cease making their respective Capital Contributions to the Partnership (without being deemed to be Defaulting Partners under this Agreement) and to pursue all remedies that may be available to them. SECTION 3.12 EXCULPATION. (a) LXP. No LXP Affiliated Party nor any officer, director, trustee or employee of any LXP Affiliated Party shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Partnership or any other Partner for any act or omission on behalf of the Partnership, in good faith and within the scope of the authority conferred on LXP GP as Managing General Partner under this Agreement or otherwise under this Agreement or the Asset Manager, as the case may be, or by law unless such act or failure to act (i) is or results in a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of any LXP Partner contained in this Agreement, which breach had or has a material adverse effect on the Partnership or the Fund Partners and, if capable of cure, is not cured within fifteen (15) days after notice thereof is delivered to LXP GP by the Fund, (ii) was fraudulent or committed in bad faith or (iii) constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Subject to the provisions set forth in Section 3.9 and Section 3.12(a) hereof, the Managing General Partner acknowledges that it is under a common law fiduciary duty to conduct the affairs of the Partnership in the best interests of the Partnership and the Partners and consequently must exercise good faith and integrity in handling Partnership affairs.

ARTICLE V CONTRIBUTIONS SECTION 5.1 CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS. (a) Generally; Percentage Interests. Each Partner shall make an Initial Capital Contribution to the Partnership in an amount and at such time as the Partners have agreed. Except as provided in this Section 5.1, (i) no Partner shall be obligated to make any Additional Capital Contribution or Extraordinary Funding to the Partnership and (ii) any Additional Capital Contribution or Extraordinary Funding shall be made by the Partners in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests as determined at the time of the Capital Call or Extraordinary Call. The Partners shall have the Percentage Interests in the Partnership set forth opposite each Partner's name on Schedule 1 hereto, as may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 5.1(e) hereof. (b) Additional Capital Contributions. In the event the Partnership requires capital to acquire an Approved Qualified Property, the Managing General Partner shall be entitled to require an additional Capital Contribution (an "ADDITIONAL CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION") from the Partners in an amount not in excess of the amount necessary to acquire such Approved Qualified Property plus all reasonable and customary costs and expenses incurred by the Partnership for Third Parties retained in connection with the Acquisition Activities; provided that (x) each Partner shall be required to contribute the amount determined by multiplying such Partner's Percentage Interest by such Additional Capital Contribution and (y) no Partner shall be required to contribute the amount described in clause (x) above if such amount, when added to the total of all of such Partner's prior Capital Contributions, exceeds such Partner's Capital Commitment. If the Managing General Partner shall provide to the Partners a written notice calling for an Additional Capital Contribution (any such notice, a "CAPITAL CALL") setting forth the total amount of such Additional Capital Contribution, the amount of each Partner's share of such Additional Capital Contribution as determined pursuant to clause (x) above, and the due date on which the Managing General Partner is requiring that such Additional Capital Contribution be contributed to the Partnership, which due date shall be at least ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the Partners actually received the Capital Call and not more than one (1) Business Day prior to the scheduled closing of the acquisition of such Approved Qualified Property; each Partner shall contribute its share of such Additional Capital Contribution in immediately 43 available funds on or before such due date. If the acquisition of an Approved Qualified Property fails to close and the Managing General Partner determines there will not be a closing with fifteen (15) days of the date of the originally scheduled closing, the Managing General Partner (x) shall inform the Partners of such failure and return each Partner's share of the Additional Capital Contribution made with respect thereto and (y) each Partner's Capital Contribution shall be restored to the level thereof immediately prior to such Additional Capital Contribution. If, at any time after the Partners have each contributed their entire Capital Commitment, the Partners elect to contribute additional capital, the Partners shall contribute such additional capital in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. A Partner may contribute to the Partnership an Approved Qualified Property, or an equity interest therein, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement. (c) Extraordinary Fundings. In the event the Partnership requires additional funds to cover any costs and expenses for which the Partnership has insufficient funds, the Managing General Partner may make a written request therefor (any such request, an "EXTRAORDINARY CALL") setting forth the amount requested and the due date therefor, which due date shall be at least ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the Partners actually received the Extraordinary Call. The Fund GP shall have the right to approve or disapprove any Extraordinary Call. If the Fund GP elects to approve an Extraordinary Call, then each Partner shall be required to fund an amount equal to the amount determined by multiplying such Partner's Percentage Interest by the amount set forth in such approved Extraordinary Call (each such Extraordinary Call required to be funded hereunder, an "EXTRAORDINARY FUNDING"). If the Fund GP elects not to approve an Extraordinary Call, then no Partner shall have any obligation to fund such disapproved Extraordinary Call, and the Managing General Partner shall cover such shortfall in funds by Partnership borrowings. An Extraordinary Funding may be made by agreement of the General Partners either as a loan by the Partners to the Partnership (any such loan, an "EXTRAORDINARY LOAN") or a supplementary capital contribution by the Partners to the Partnership (any such contribution, an "EXTRAORDINARY CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION"). Each Partner shall contribute its share of such Extraordinary Capital Contribution or Extraordinary Loan, as the case may be, in immediately available funds on or before the due date to which the Partners agreed in the Extraordinary Call. If the General Partners agree to make an Extraordinary Loan, (x) each Partner shall loan to the Partnership the amount of such Partner's share as determined above with interest equal to either a rate agreed to by the General Partners or, if there is no such agreement, then the 10-year treasury rate plus two percent (2%) per annum as of the date the Extraordinary Loan is made, (y) the Annual Budget portion of the Annual Plan shall be amended to reflect such loan, and (z) such loan (including interest accrued thereon) shall be repaid from Net Cash Flow from Operations or Net Cash from Sales or Refinancings. Any Net Cash Flow from Operations or 44 any Net Cash from Sales or Refinancings shall be applied to each Partner's unpaid Extraordinary Loan in proportion to each Partner's Percentage Interest. (d) [Intentionally deleted]. (e) Failure to Fund an Additional Capital Contribution or Extraordinary Funding. If any Partner (a "DEFAULTING PARTNER") fails to make any Additional Capital Contribution or Extraordinary Funding which it is required to make under this Section 5.1 by the due date therefor, then any non-defaulting Partner may, at its election, make an Additional Capital Contribution or Extraordinary Funding to the Partnership in an amount equal to the amount that the Defaulting Partner failed to contribute ("DEFAULT AMOUNT"). The Defaulting Partner shall be liable for interest equal to the 10-year treasury rate plus two percent (2%) per annum accruing from the due date of such Additional Capital Contribution or Extraordinary Funding, payable on the first Business Day of each month, on such Default Amount to the Partnership, provided that the non-defaulting Partner makes an Additional Capital Contribution or Extraordinary Funding equal to the Default Amount, or any portion thereof, in which case the applicable amount of interest shall be paid to the non-defaulting Partner. If for ninety (90) days a Defaulting Partner shall fail to make an Additional Capital Contribution or Extraordinary Funding or to pay to the Partnership or the non-defaulting Partner (as applicable) any interest that has accrued on such Default Amount, the Percentage Interest of the Defaulting Partner shall be adjusted, effective the day after the conclusion of such ninety (90) day period, to equal: the Percentage Interest of such Defaulting Partner (prior to adjustment hereunder) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Defaulting Partner's total Capital Contribution, and the denominator of which is the product of 120% multiplied by the sum of the Defaulting Partner's total Capital Contribution, plus the amount of the Default Amount and any accrued and unpaid interest on the Default Amount during such ninety (90) day period. The adjustment of the Defaulting Partner's Percentage Interest hereunder may also be expressed by the following formula: a = b x c -------------- (c+d+e) x 120% Where a = new Percentage Interest of Defaulting Partner after adjustment hereunder b = old Percentage Interest of Defaulting Partner prior to adjustment hereunder c = Defaulting Partner's total Capital Contribution 45 d = amount of Default Amount e = accrued interest on Default Amount during ninety (90) day period The adjustment of the Percentage Interest of the Defaulting Partner hereunder shall constitute satisfaction of the Default Amount including interest thereon and shall cure the Defaulting Partner's default hereunder and the Default Amount, excluding accrued interest, shall constitute a Capital Contribution made by the non-defaulting Partner and shall be credited to the Capital Account of the non-defaulting Partner. In addition, the Percentage Interest of the non-defaulting Partner shall be increased by the amount by which the Percentage Interest of the Defaulting Partner is decreased. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 5.1(e) shall not be applied against any Fund Partner, as the Defaulting Partner, during the occurrence and continuance of any material default by LXP GP, in its capacity as Managing General Partner, of its obligations under this Agreement, or by the Asset Manager, of its obligations under the Management Agreement, and neither Fund Partner shall be obligated to make an Additional Capital Contribution or Extraordinary Funding to the Partnership pursuant hereto unless and until any such material default by LXP GP, in its capacity as Managing General Partner, or the Asset Manager, has been cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Fund GP. In addition, if LXP or LXP GP fails to make an Additional Capital Contribution or Extraordinary Funding for a period exceeding ninety (90) days, LXP GP shall lose its right to be the Managing General Partner and the Fund GP shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to replace LXP GP as Managing General Partner in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.3 hereof. (f) Failure to Satisfy Claims Under a Contribution Agreement. If a Partner has contributed an Approved Qualified Property pursuant to a Contribution Agreement (a "CONTRIBUTING PARTNER") and the Partnership has a claim under such Contribution Agreement against such Contributing Partner which has either been (w) acknowledged and agreed to by such Contributing Partner or (x) adjudicated in favor of the Partnership (after all appeals have been taken) (the acknowledged or adjudicated amount of such claim being the "CLAIM AMOUNT"), such Contributing Partner shall either, as applicable, (y) satisfy such Claim Amount at its expense or (z) contribute the Claim Amount to the Partnership (for which it shall not receive any additional credit to its Capital Account as a Capital Contribution). If for ninety (90) days such Contributing Partner (a "DEFAULTING CONTRIBUTING PARTNER") shall fail to satisfy such Claim Amount or contribute such Claim Amount to the Partnership, the Percentage Interest of the Defaulting Contributing Partner shall be adjusted, effective the day 46 after the conclusion of such ninety (90) day period, to equal: the Percentage Interest of such Defaulting Contributing Partner (prior to adjustment hereunder) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Defaulting Contributing Partner's total Capital Contribution, and the denominator of which is the product of 120% multiplied by the sum of the Defaulting Contributing Partner's total Capital Contribution, plus the amount of the Claim Amount. The adjustment of the Defaulting Contributing Partner's Percentage Interest hereunder may also be expressed by the following formula: a = b x c ------------ (c+d) x 120% Where a = new Percentage Interest of Defaulting Contributing Partner after adjustment hereunder b = old Percentage Interest of Defaulting Contributing Partner prior to adjustment hereunder c = Defaulting Contributing Partner's total Capital Contribution d = amount of Claim Amount The adjustment of the Percentage Interest of the Defaulting Contributing Partner hereunder shall constitute satisfaction of the Claim Amount and shall cure the Defaulting Contributing Partner's default hereunder and the Claim Amount shall constitute a Capital Contribution made by the non-defaulting Partner and shall be credited to the Capital Account of the non-defaulting Partner. In addition, the Percentage Interest of the non-defaulting Partner shall be increased by the amount by which the Percentage Interest of the Defaulting Partner is decreased. SECTION 5.2 RETURN OF CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (a) the Capital Contribution of a Partner will be returned to that Partner only in the manner and to the extent provided in Article VII and Article IX hereof and (b) no Partner shall have any right to demand or receive the return of its Capital Contribution. In the event the Partnership is required or compelled to return any Capital Contribution, no Partner shall have the right to receive property other than cash. No Partner shall be entitled to interest on its Capital Contribution or Capital Account notwithstanding any disproportion therein as between the Partners. SECTION 5.3 LIABILITY OF THE LIMITED PARTNERS. No Limited Partner shall have any personal liability to the Partnership, to any Partner, to the creditors of the Partnership or to any other Person for any debt, liability or obligation of the Partnership. 47 No Limited Partner shall be required to contribute funds or capital to the Partnership in excess of its Capital Commitment although Limited Partners may at their option contribute funds in excess of their respective Capital Commitments pursuant to Section 5.1(c) and Section 5.1(d) hereof. SECTION 5.4 NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. The foregoing provisions of this Article V are not intended to be for the benefit of any creditor of the Partnership or any other Person, and no creditor of the Partnership or any other Person may rely on the commitment of any Partner to make any Capital Contribution. Additional Capital Contributions and Extraordinary Fundings are not payable unless and until the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 hereof have been satisfied, and no creditor of the Partnership or any other Person shall have, or be given, any right to cause a Capital Call or Extraordinary Call to be given by the Managing General Partner. ARTICLE VI MAINTENANCE OF CAPITAL ACCOUNTS; ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES FOR BOOK AND TAX PURPOSES SECTION 6.1 CAPITAL ACCOUNTS. (a) Generally: Credits to Capital Accounts. A Capital Account shall be established and maintained for each Partner. Initially, the Capital Account of each Partner shall be credited with each Partner's respective Initial Capital Contribution. Thereafter, each Partner's Capital Account shall be credited with any Additional Capital Contributions or Extraordinary Capital Contributions made or contributed by such Partner and such Partner's allocable share of Profits, any individual items of income and gain allocated to such Partner pursuant to the provisions of this Article VI, and the amount of additional cash, or the Fair Market Value of any Partnership asset (net of any liabilities assumed by the Partnership and liabilities to which the asset is subject), contributed to the Partnership by such Partner or deemed contributed to the Partnership by such Partner in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(c). (b) Debits to Capital Account. The Capital Account of each Partner shall be debited with the Partner's allocable share of Losses, any individual items of expenses and loss allocated to such Partner pursuant to the provisions of this Article VI, the amount of any cash distributed to such Partner and the Fair Market Value of any Partnership asset (net of any liabilities assumed by the Partner and liabilities to which the asset is subject) distributed to such Partner or deemed distributed to such Partner in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(c). (c) Capital Account of Transferee. In the event that any Percentage Interest of a Partner is transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, 48 the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the transferred Percentage Interest in such Partner. (d) Adjustments of Book Value. In the event that the Book Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted as described in the definition of "Book Value", the Capital Accounts of all Partners shall be adjusted in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) or Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), as applicable, to reflect such adjustment. (e) Compliance with Regulations. The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Regulation Section 1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulation. In the event that the Managing General Partner shall determine that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto, are computed in order to comply with such Regulation, the Managing General Partner may make such modification; provided, however, that if such modification constitutes a Material Modification, it shall become effective only upon the consent of any Partner to whom such modification would constitute a Material Modification. SECTION 6.2 PROFITS AND LOSSES. (a) Allocation. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.3 hereof, for each fiscal year of the Partnership, Profits and Losses shall be allocated as set forth below. (i) Profits (calculated without regard to the Management Fee) shall be allocated: (A) first, to the Partners in an amount sufficient to reverse the cumulative amount of any Losses allocated to the Partners in the current and all prior fiscal years pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(ii)(C) hereof, in proportion to the allocation of such Losses to such Partners; (B) second, to the Partners pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests until the Partners have received a cumulative amount allocated pursuant to this Section 6.2(a)(i)(B) for the current and all prior fiscal years equal to the sum of (1) an aggregate amount sufficient to provide such Partners with their 12% IRR (not including amounts representing a return of Capital Contributions with respect to any Qualified Property) and (2) the aggregate amount of Losses allocated to such Partners pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(ii)(B) hereof; and 49 (C) the balance, if any, (x) 85% to the Partners pro rata in proportion to their Percentage Interests and (y) 15% to LXP GP. (ii) Losses (calculated without regard to the Management Fee) shall be allocated: (A) first, to the Partners in an amount sufficient to reverse the cumulative amount of any Profits allocated to the Partners in the current and all prior fiscal years pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i)(C) hereof, in proportion to the allocation of such Profits to such Partners; (B) second, to the Partners in an amount sufficient to reverse the cumulative amount of any Profits allocated to the Partners in the current and all prior fiscal years pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i)(B) hereof, in proportion to the allocation of such Profits to such Partners; and (C) the balance, if any, to the Partners pro rata in accordance with their Percentage Interests. (iii) Any deduction with respect to the Management Fee payable pursuant to Section 3.10(c) hereof shall be specially allocated to the Fund Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests. (b) Adjustments to "Profits" and "Losses". When used in this Agreement, "PROFITS" and "LOSSES" shall mean, for each fiscal year or other period, an amount equal to the Partnership's taxable income or loss for such year or period, determined in accordance with Code Section 703(a) (for this purpose, all items of income, gain, loss or deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Code Section 703(a)(1) shall be included in taxable income or loss), and otherwise in accordance with the methods of accounting followed by the Partnership for federal income tax purposes, with the following adjustments: (i) any income of the Partnership that is exempt from federal income tax and not otherwise taken into account in computing Profits or Losses shall be added to such taxable income or loss; (ii) any items that are specially allocated pursuant to this Agreement shall not be taken into account in computing Profits or Losses; (iii) any expenditure of the Partnership described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code (or treated as such under Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i)) and not otherwise taken into account in computing Profits or Losses pursuant to this Definition shall be deducted from such taxable income or loss; 50 (iv) any depreciation, amortization and/or cost recovery deductions with respect to any asset shall be deemed to be equal to the Book Depreciation available with respect to such asset; (v) the computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be made without regard to any basis adjustment under Section 743 of the Code; (vi) in the event the Book Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to the definition of Book Value, the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such asset for purposes of computing Profits or Losses; and (vii) gain or loss resulting from any disposition of property with respect to which gain or loss is recognized for federal income tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Book Value of the property disposed of, notwithstanding that the adjusted tax basis of such property differs from its Book Value. (c) Changes in Percentage Interests. If any Partner's Percentage Interest changes during any taxable year of the Partnership in accordance with Section 5.1(e) hereof, then for that taxable year the Partnership will effect a deemed closing of the books as of the date of such change, and the Profits and Losses of the Partnership (and all items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit for federal income tax purposes) for the period in such year ending on and including such date (the "pre-change period") shall be allocated among the Partners in proportion to their respective Percentage Interest (as may be required by Section 6.2 hereof) as of the first day of such pre-change period, and each Partner's share of Profits and Losses (and all items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit for federal income tax purposes) for the period following such date of change (the "post-change period") shall be allocated among the Partners in proportion to their respective Percentage Interest (as may be required by Section 6.2 hereof) as of the first date of such post-change period. SECTION 6.3 REGULATORY ALLOCATIONS. (a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any fiscal year, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) in an amount equal to such Partner's share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, as determined under Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.3(a) is 51 intended to comply with the "minimum gain chargeback" requirements of Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. (b) Chargeback Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt. If there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any fiscal year attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt, each Partner with a share of Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt at the beginning of such year shall be specially allocated items of income and gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, for subsequent fiscal years) in an amount equal to such Partner's share of the net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and (5). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.3(b) is intended to comply with the "minimum gain chargeback" requirements of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. (c) Qualified Income Offset. If any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) which results in or increases an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for the Partner, such Partner shall be allocated items of income and book gain in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit or increase therein as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.3(c) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided in this Article VI have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.3(c) were not in the Agreement. This Section 6.3(c) is intended to constitute a "qualified income offset" as provided by Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. (d) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Items of Partnership loss, deduction or Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditures that are attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt ("PARTNER NONRECOURSE DEDUCTIONS") shall be allocated among the Partners who bear the Economic Risk of Loss for such Partner Nonrecourse Debt in the ratio in which they share Economic Risk of Loss for such Partner Nonrecourse Debt. This provision is to be interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements of Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4) and (i)(1). (e) Limitation on Allocation of Net Loss. To the extent any allocation of Losses or other items of loss or deduction would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as to any Partner, such allocation shall be reallocated 52 among the other Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests, subject to the limitations hereof. (f) Curative Allocation. The allocations set forth in this Section 6.3 (the "REGULATORY ALLOCATIONS") are intended to comply with certain requirements of the applicable Regulations promulgated under Code Section 704(b). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI, the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other operating Profits, Losses and other items of income, gain, loss and deduction to the Partners for Capital Account purposes so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of Profits, Losses and other items shall be equal to the amount that would have been allocated to each Partner if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. SECTION 6.4 ALLOCATION OF TAX ITEMS FOR TAX PURPOSES. (a) Generally. Subject to Sections 1.704-1(b)(4)(i) and 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) of the Regulations and Section 6.4(b), Section 6.4(c) and Section 6.4(e) hereof, allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for federal, state and local tax purposes shall be allocated to the Partners in the same manner and amounts as the book items corresponding to such tax items are allocated for Capital Account purposes. (b) Recapture Income. Notwithstanding Section 6.4(a) hereof, if there is a gain on any sale, exchange or other disposition of Partnership property and all or a portion of such gain is characterized as ordinary income by virtue of the recapture rules of Code Section 1245 or 1250, or under the corresponding recapture rules of state or local income tax law, as the case may be, then, to the extent possible, such recapture income for United States and state and local tax purposes shall be allocated to the Partners in the ratio that they were allocated Tax Depreciation previously taken and allowed with respect to the Partnership property being sold or otherwise disposed of. (c) Section 754 Adjustments. Notwithstanding Section 6.4(a) hereof, any increase or decrease in the amount of any items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit for tax purposes attributable to an adjustment to the basis of Partnership assets made pursuant to a valid election or deemed election under Sections 732(d), 734, 743, and 754 of the Code, and any increase or decrease in the amount of any item of credit or tax preference attributable to any such adjustment, shall be allocated to those Partners entitled thereto under such law. Such items shall be excluded in determining the Capital Accounts of the Partners, except as otherwise provided by Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) of the Regulations. (d) Nonrecourse Deductions. Any "Nonrecourse Deductions" as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(c) for any fiscal year or other 53 period shall be specially allocated as items of loss in the manner provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(j)(1)(ii). (e) Sharing of Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities. For purposes of determination of the Partners' shares of the excess Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership for purposes of Section 1.752-3(a)(3) of the Regulations, the Partners' interests in profits as determined pursuant to Section 1.752-3(a)(3) of the Regulations shall be in accordance with their Percentage Interests as adjusted from time to time. (f) Section 704(c). Notwithstanding Section 6.4 hereof, if the Partnership owns or acquires Section 704(c) Property, or if the Tax Matters Partner makes an election referred to in the definition of "Book Value" herein, then, solely for tax purposes and not for Capital Account purposes, Tax Depreciation, and any gain or loss, attributable to such Section 704(c) Property shall be allocated between or among the Partners in a manner that takes into account the variation between such Book Value and such adjusted tax basis, in accordance with the principles of Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations promulgated thereunder and such method set forth in Regulations Section 1.704-3(b). Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations (including under Section 1.704-3 of the Regulations, whether to use the traditional method, the traditional method with curative allocations or the remedial method) shall be made by the Tax Matters Partner (as defined below) in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. SECTION 6.5 Tax Matters Partner. LXP GP is hereby designated as the "tax matters partner" for the Partnership as such term is defined in Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code (the "TAX MATTERS PARTNER"), and all federal, state and local tax audits and litigation shall be conducted under the direction of LXP GP. All expenses incurred with respect to any tax matter which does or may affect the Partnership, including but not limited to expenses incurred by LXP GP acting in its capacity as Tax Matters Partner in connection with Partnership level administrative or judicial tax proceedings, shall be paid out of Partnership assets, whether or not included in an Annual Plan. If the Fund GP is permitted under the Code to participate in Partnership level administrative or judicial tax proceedings and the Fund GP chooses, in its sole discretion, to so participate, the Partnership shall be responsible for all expenses incurred by the Fund GP in connection with such participation, whether or not included in an Annual Plan. Without the consent of the Fund GP, the Tax Matters Partner shall have no right to extend the statute of limitations for assessing or computing any tax liability against the Partnership or the amount of any Partnership tax item or to settle any dispute with respect to any income, or any other material, tax. The Tax Matters Partner shall, promptly upon receipt thereof, forward to each Partner a copy of any correspondence relating to the Partnership received from the Internal Revenue Service or any other tax authority which relates to matters that are of material importance to the Partnership and/or the Partners. The Tax Matters 54 Partner shall promptly advise each Partner in writing of the substance of any material conversation held with any representative of the Internal Revenue Service which relates to an audit or administrative proceeding relating to a tax return of the Partnership. SECTION 6.6 ADJUSTMENTS. (a) Generally. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items of Partnership income, gain, loss and deduction and any other allocations not otherwise provided for shall be divided among the Partners in the same proportions as they share Profits and Losses, as the case may be, for the year. (b) Upon Transfer or Change in Percentage Interest. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.2(c) hereof, if any Percentage Interest is transferred in any fiscal year in accordance with this Agreement, or if a Partner's Percentage Interest changes during any fiscal year, all Profits and Losses attributable to such Percentage Interest for such fiscal year shall be divided and allocated in accordance with an interim closing of the books as of the date of a transfer or change. (c) Amendments to this Article VI. The Managing General Partner is specifically authorized, with the consent of the Fund GP and upon the advice of the accountants or legal counsel for the Partnership, to amend this Article VI to comply with any Regulations with respect to the distributions and allocations of the Partnership and any such amendment shall become effective; provided, however, that if such amendment constitutes a Material Modification for any Partner, then such amendment shall become effective only upon the express written consent of such Partner. ARTICLE VII DISTRIBUTIONS SECTION 7.1 CASH AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTIONS. (a) Generally. (i) The Managing General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute (A) all Net Cash Flow from Operations not less frequently than quarterly; and (B) except upon Liquidation, Net Cash from Sales or Refinancings at such times as the General Partners may determine as soon as practicable after the receipt of such Net Cash from Sales or Refinancings, as follows: (x) first, to the Partners pro rata in accordance with their Percentage Interests, until such time as the Partners have each received cumulative distributions in an amount sufficient to achieve a 12% IRR and (y) thereafter, (1) 85% to the Partners pro rata in accordance with their Percentage Interests and (2) 15% to LXP GP. 55 (ii) Distributable Cash shall not be used to acquire Qualified Properties or make capital improvements on Qualified Properties unless consented to in writing in advance by the General Partners. (b) Withholdings. The Managing General Partner is authorized to withhold from distributions or allocations to any Partner (or, in the event there are insufficient funds, require such Partner to contribute to the Partnership) and to pay over to any federal, state or local government any amounts required to be withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any other federal, state or local law with respect to any payment, distribution or allocation to the Partnership or such Partner and shall allocate any such amounts to such Partner with respect to which such amount was withheld. All amounts so withheld (including such amounts contributed by the Partner) shall be treated as amounts distributed to such Partner, and will reduce the amount otherwise distributable to such Partner, pursuant to this Article VII for all purposes under this Agreement. (c) Restrictions on Distributions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.1, the Partnership shall not make a distribution to the extent that, at the time of such distribution and after giving effect to such distribution, all liabilities of the Partnership (other than liabilities to the Partners on account of their Capital Contributions or liabilities for which the recourse of creditors is limited to specific property of the Partnership) shall exceed the Fair Market Value of the Partnership assets, except that the Fair Market Value of Qualified Property that is subject to a liability for which the recourse of the creditors is limited shall be included in the Partnership assets only to the extent that the Fair Market Value of such Qualified Property exceeds that liability. (d) Clawback. Upon the tenth anniversary of the date hereof and upon the dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, if and to the extent any Partner has not received an amount of distributions (during the life of the Partnership and in liquidation) at least sufficient to achieve a 12% IRR calculated on an aggregate basis, then LXP GP or LXP shall promptly restore capital to the Partnership for payment to each such Partner in such amounts until each such Partner has received such aggregate amount of distributions, provided however, that LXP GP and/or LXP shall not be obligated to contribute pursuant to this Section 7.1(d) an amount greater than the total amount of distributions previously made to LXP GP pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(i)(y)(2) hereof (net of taxes on income attributable to such distributions). ARTICLE VIII TRANSFER; REMOVAL OF MANAGING GENERAL PARTNER SECTION 8.1 PROHIBITION ON TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS BY PARTNERS. The Partners shall be prohibited from transferring or assigning their respective interests 56 (or any part of such interests) in the Partnership and any attempted transfer shall be void ab initio. Except as provided in Section 11.1 and Section 11.2 hereof, the Partners shall be prohibited from withdrawing from the Partnership. If any Partner withdraws from the Partnership, it shall be and remain liable for all obligations and liabilities incurred by it as a Partner, and shall be liable to the Partnership and the other Partners for all indemnifications set forth herein and for any liabilities, losses, claims, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the Partnership as a result of any withdrawal in breach of this Agreement. SECTION 8.2 PROHIBITION ON TRANSFERS BY AND RESIGNATION OF MANAGING GENERAL PARTNER. (a) LXP GP may not transfer or assign its rights and obligations (or any portion thereof) as the Managing General Partner and may not resign as Managing General Partner, except with the prior written consent of all the Partners, which consent may be given or withheld in their sole discretion. If LXP GP resigns as Managing General Partner without consent by the Fund GP, LXP GP shall be and remain liable for all obligations and liabilities incurred by it as Managing General Partner, and shall be liable to the Partnership and the Fund Partners for all indemnifications set forth herein and for any liabilities, losses, claims, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the Partnership as a result of any resignation in breach of this Agreement. If the Partners approve a transfer or assignment by LXP GP of its rights and obligations as Managing General Partner, any transferee or assignee thereof shall execute a counterpart to this Agreement agreeing to be bound by all the provisions of this Agreement as if originally a party to this Agreement. (b) Any assignment, transfer or other disposition (voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law) of any membership interest in LXP GP to a Person other than a directly or indirectly wholly-owned Affiliate of LXP shall require the prior written consent of the Fund GP. SECTION 8.3 REMOVAL OF THE MANAGING GENERAL PARTNER. (a) Generally. In the event of (i) a default by the Managing General Partner of any of its obligations hereunder, or a default by the Asset Manager of any of its obligations under the Management Agreement, which default materially and adversely affects the Partnership or any Fund Partner and which, if capable of cure, remains uncured for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof, (ii) gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud in the performance by the Managing General Partner of its obligations hereunder or by the Asset Manager of its obligations under the Management Agreement, (iii) the commission of a felony or misdemeanor involving embezzlement, theft or acts of moral turpitude by the Managing General Partner or the Asset Manager, (iv) failure by the Managing General Partner to make an Additional Capital Contribution or Extraordinary 57 Funding for a period exceeding ninety (90) days or (v) failure by an LXP Partner to pay a Claim Amount for a period exceeding ninety (90) days (any of the foregoing, "CAUSE"), the Fund GP shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to remove the Managing General Partner (and, except in the case of a failure to make an Additional Capital Contribution or Extraordinary Funding, to remove the LXP Partners as Partners if LXP GP or any LXP Affiliated Party is the Managing General Partner) by written notice to the Managing General Partner (the "REMOVAL NOTICE") and to appoint a new Managing General Partner. The Removal Notice shall specifically set forth the act or failure to act of the Managing General Partner or the Asset Manager upon which the Cause is based. Such removal of the Managing General Partner shall be effective ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Removal Notice by the Managing General Partner (unless such removal is enjoined as provided below). If LXP GP is the Managing General Partner, LXP GP shall have the right, in its discretion, to sue the Fund GP to enjoin such removal. In order to enable LXP GP to seek prompt injunctive relief in the event of a removal pursuant hereto, the parties agree to seek expedited resolution of any lawsuit brought with respect to such removal, and the Fund GP acknowledges that, for purposes hereof only, in the event the Fund GP violated Section 8.3 hereof by wrongfully removing LXP GP, the injury to LXP GP would be irreparable and one for which there is no adequate remedy at law. In the event that the Fund GP elects to remove the Managing General Partner (or LXP GP), any agreements between the Partnership and the Managing General Partner (or any LXP Affiliated Party) shall be terminated without cost or penalty as of the effective date of the Managing General Partner's removal. (b) Removal Amount Due LXP Partners. Upon removal of the LXP Partners as Partners as provided in Section 8.3(a) above, each LXP Partner shall be entitled to be paid an amount (the "REMOVAL AMOUNT") equal to the difference between (i) the amount such LXP Partner would receive if the Partnership were dissolved, the Qualified Properties sold for their Fair Market Values (determined pursuant to Section 8.3(c) hereof) and the assets of the Partnership were distributed in liquidation in accordance with Section 9.2 hereof, minus (ii) any liabilities, claims, losses, damages, costs or expenses incurred by the Partnership or the Fund Partners as a result of the Cause which led to the LXP Partners' removal hereunder. The Partnership shall cause the Removal Amounts payable to the LXP Partners to be paid out of proceeds from liquidation or sales of Qualified Properties and other assets resulting from a liquidation performed in accordance with the standards described in the first two sentences of Section 9.2(ii) hereof in cash no later than two (2) years after effectiveness of the removal; provided, that the Partnership may, but shall not be obligated to, pay such Removal Amounts without liquidating some or all of the Qualified Properties and other assets not later than two (2) years after the effectiveness of the removal. Interest on the Removal Amounts payable to the LXP Partners shall accrue at a rate equal to the 10-year treasury rate plus two percent (2%) per annum following the effectiveness 58 of the removal, as provided in Section 8.3(a) hereof, and shall be payable in arrears out of proceeds from liquidation of Qualified Properties and other assets. The proceeds from the liquidation or sale of a Qualified Property shall be distributed to the Partners pro rata in accordance with Section 9.2 hereof. If, due to market conditions or the adverse effect of liquidation on the Fair Market Value of the Qualified Properties, liquidation cannot be completed within two (2) years, the date for paying the Removal Amounts payable to the LXP Partners in full shall be extended for the length of time needed to accomplish liquidation in accordance with Section 9.2. (c) Determination of Fair Market Value. For purposes of calculating the Removal Amounts described above in Section 8.3(b), the Fair Market Value of each Qualified Property shall be (i) the net amount obtained by liquidating such Qualified Property in accordance with Section 9.2 and applying the proceeds of sale to the payment of the debts and obligations of the Partnership secured by or relating to such Qualified Property (including a pro rata portion of the Partnership's debts and obligations that are not secured by or do not relate to any particular Qualified Property) and to the expenses of liquidating such Qualified Property and to the setting up to any reserves in accordance with Section 9.2(iv)(B) hereof (but only with respect to such Qualified Property), or (ii) if the Partnership elects not to liquidate each such Qualified Property, determined by agreement between the General Partners, or if agreement cannot be reached within thirty (30) days after determination that the Qualified Property will not be liquidated, by an independent, reputable and qualified real estate appraiser with at least ten (10) years experience selected by the General Partners. If the General Partners cannot agree on an appraiser, then each shall select an independent, qualified and reputable real estate appraiser with at least ten (10) years experience to determine the Fair Market Values of the Qualified Properties. If the appraisers agree on the Fair Market Values, then the Fair Market Values of the Qualified Properties shall be as determined by the appraisers. If the appraisers do not agree, then each appraiser shall set forth its determination of the Fair Market Value of each Qualified Property and, with respect to each Qualified Property, if the higher amount set forth in either appraisal is not more than 10% of the lower amount, then the Fair Market Value of such Qualified Property shall be the average of the amount set forth in the two appraisals. If the higher amount exceeds the lower amount of the appraisal of any Qualified Property by more than 10%, then the two appraisers shall designate a third appraiser to determine the Fair Market Value of such Qualified Property. If the two appraisers cannot agree upon the designation of the third appraiser, then the third appraiser shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association in the City of New York. The third appraiser shall conduct such investigations as it shall deem appropriate and within 30 days after its date of designation shall choose, with respect to each Qualified Property as to which a Fair Market Value has not been determined pursuant to the second preceding sentence, the appraisal of the Fund GP's 59 appraiser or the appraisal of LXP GP's appraiser and no other amount as the Fair Market Value of each Qualified Property. The decision of the third appraiser shall be in writing and shall be binding on the Partners. If LXP GP and the Fund GP agree on an appraiser, then the Partnership shall pay the fees and expenses of such appraiser. If LXP GP and the Fund GP each select an appraiser, then LXP GP and the Fund GP shall each pay the fees and expenses of the appraiser selected by it, and the Partnership shall pay the fees and expenses of any third appraiser designated by such appraisers or by the American Arbitration Association. (d) Removal not Wrongful. In addition to the foregoing, after removal of the LXP Partners as Partners and, if LXP GP sues to enjoin the removal, a final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that such removal was not wrongful, the Fund GP shall have the right to cause the dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership in accordance with Article IX hereof. ARTICLE IX TERMINATION SECTION 9.1 DISSOLUTION. The Partnership shall dissolve and commence winding up and liquidating upon the first to occur of any of the following (collectively, the "LIQUIDATING EVENTS"): (i) the reduction to cash or cash equivalents (other than purchase money notes obtained by the Partnership from the sale of Qualified Property) of the last remaining Qualified Property; (ii) the agreement in writing by the General Partners to dissolve the Partnership; (iii) the termination of the term of the Partnership pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof; (iv) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to Section 17-802 of the Act; (v) the election of the Fund GP to dissolve the Partnership pursuant to Section 8.3(d) hereof; (vi) all of the Qualified Properties have been sold to the LXP Partners, or their designees, or to the Fund Partners, or their designees, pursuant to the exercise of the Buy/Sell as provided in Section 11.1 hereof; (vii) the Bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or withdrawal from the Partnership of any LXP Partner or any Fund Partner, provided that the bankruptcy 60 of any LXP Partner shall not constitute a Liquidating Event if the Partnership is continued pursuant to this Section 9.1; or (viii) the election of any General Partner to dissolve the Partnership after the breach by any Fund Partner (in the case of the LXP GP) or any LXP Partner (in the case of the Fund GP) of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement, which breach had or has a material adverse effect on the Partnership or such General Partner, and, if capable of cure, is not cured within fifteen (15) days after notice thereof from such General Partner. The Partners hereby agree that, notwithstanding any provision of the Act, the Partnership shall not dissolve prior to the occurrence of a Liquidating Event. Upon the occurrence of the events described in Section 9.1(v) or Section 9.1(vii) above (relating to the status of the LXP Partners), the Partnership shall not be dissolved or required to be wound up if within ninety (90) days after such event the Fund GP elects, in its sole and absolute discretion, to continue the business of the Partnership and to appoint, effective as of the date of such event, a successor Managing General Partner. SECTION 9.2 TERMINATION. In all cases of dissolution of the Partnership, the business of the Partnership shall be wound up and the Partnership terminated as promptly as practicable thereafter, and each of the following shall be accomplished: (i) The Liquidator shall cause to be prepared a statement setting forth the assets and liabilities of the Partnership as of the date of dissolution, a copy of which statement shall be furnished to both of the General Partners; (ii) The Qualified Properties and assets of the Partnership shall be liquidated by the Liquidator as promptly as possible, but in an orderly and businesslike and commercially reasonable manner, consistent with maximizing the price to be received. The Liquidator in its reasonable discretion and with the consent of the Fund shall determine whether to sell any Qualified Property at a public or private sale, for what price and on what terms. The Liquidator may, in the exercise of its good faith business judgment and if commercially reasonable and if acceptable to the Fund GP, determine not to sell a portion of the Qualified Properties and assets of the Partnership, in which event such Qualified Properties and assets shall be distributed in kind pursuant to clause (iv) below; (iii) Any Profit or Loss realized by the Partnership upon the sale or other disposition of its property pursuant to Section 9.2(ii) above shall be allocated to the Partners as required by Article VI hereof; and (iv) The proceeds of sale and all other assets of the Partnership shall be applied and distributed as follows and in the following order of priority; (provided, that if the LXP Partners have been removed as Partners and have received payment in full of the Removal Amounts pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof, 61 then the LXP Partners shall not be paid any portion of such proceeds of sale and other assets of the Partnership): (A) To the payment of the debts and liabilities of the Partnership and the expenses of liquidation; (B) To the setting up of any reserves which the Liquidator shall reasonably determine to be necessary for contingent, unliquidated or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership or the Partners arising out of or in connection with the Partnership. Such reserves may, in the discretion of the Liquidator, be paid over to a national bank or national title company selected by it and authorized to conduct business as an escrowee to be held by such bank or title company as escrowee for the purposes of disbursing such reserves to satisfy the liabilities and obligations described above, and at the expiration of such period as the Liquidator may reasonably deem advisable, distribute any remaining balance in the manner set forth below; and (C) The balance, if any, to the Partners in accordance with Section 7.1 hereof. No payment or distribution in any of the foregoing categories shall be made until all payments in each prior category shall have been made in full. If the payments due to be made in any of the foregoing categories exceed the remaining assets available for such purpose, such payment shall be made to the Persons entitled to receive the same pro rata in accordance with the respective amount due them. Payments described in clause (iv) above must be made in cash. The Partners shall continue to share profits, losses and other tax items during the period of liquidation in the same proportions as before dissolution. SECTION 9.3 CERTIFICATE OF CANCELLATION. Upon completion of the distribution of the Partnership's assets as provided in this Article IX and the completion of the winding-up of the affairs of the Partnership, the Partnership shall be terminated, and the Liquidator shall cause the filing of a certificate of cancellation of the certificate of limited partnership in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the Act and shall take all such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Partnership in accordance with the Act and shall take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Partnership's registration in any other jurisdictions where the Partnership is registered or qualified to do business. SECTION 9.4 ACTS IN FURTHERANCE OF LIQUIDATION. Each Partner or former Partner, upon the request of the Liquidator, shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver all documents and other instruments as the Liquidator shall reasonably 62 request to effectuate the proper dissolution and termination of the Partnership, including the winding up of the business of the Partnership.

Upon receipt of the Offer Notice, the Responding General Partner shall have thirty (30) days to provide to the Offering General Partner a notice (the "RESPONSE NOTICE") specifying the Responding General Partner's election either, (i) if the Buy/Sell Property comprises less than all of the Qualified Properties, (x) to cause the Partnership to sell the Buy/Sell Property to the Offering General Partner, or its designee(s), at the Offer Price pursuant to the Offered Agreement or (y) to purchase (or have a designee purchase), the Buy/Sell Property from the 66 Partnership for a purchase price equal to the Offer Price and on substantially the same terms and conditions as provided in the Offered Agreement, or, (ii) if the Buy/Sell Property comprises all of the Qualified Properties, purchase the Percentage Interests of the Other Partners or, together with its Corresponding Limited Partner, sell its Percentage Interest to the Offering General Partner, or its designee(s), for cash in an amount equal to the amount of cash the Offering General Partner would receive under Section 9.2 hereof if the Partnership assets were sold for cash at the Offer Price and the Partnership liquidated and dissolved (the "INTEREST PRICE"). In determining the amount of the Interest Price, it will be assumed that no reserves will be required under Section 9.2 hereof. Any Offer Notice made with respect to all of the Qualified Properties in connection with a dispute between the General Partners concerning more than fifty percent (50%) of the Qualified Properties or concerning the governance or management of the Partnership shall supersede and render of no further effect any Offer Notice (x) made with respect to less than all of the Qualified Properties and (y) to which no Response Notice has been provided to the Offering General Partner. (b) Responding General Partner's Election to Purchase. If the Responding General Partner timely delivers a Response Notice that specifies the Responding General Partner's election to purchase the Buy/Sell Property, as described in Section 11.1(a) above, then the Responding General Partner shall have up to one hundred and twenty (120) days to close the purchase of the Buy/Sell Property on substantially the same terms and conditions as contained in the Offered Agreement. (c) Responding General Partner's Election not to Purchase. If the Responding General Partner delivers a timely Response Notice that specifies the Responding General Partner's election not to purchase the Buy/Sell Property, as described in Section 11.1(a) above, then the Managing General Partner shall cause the Partnership to sell the Buy/Sell Property to the Offering General Partner, or if the Responding General Partner fails to deliver a timely Response Notice, then the Offering General Partner must elect either, (i) if the Buy/Sell Property comprises less than all of the Qualified Properties, proceed to close the acquisition of the Buy/Sell Property at the Offer Price in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offered Agreement, provided, however, that such closing must take place within the ninety (90) day period beginning on the earlier of (x) the date of delivery of the Response Notice, or (y) the expiration of the thirty (30) day period during which the Responding General Partner is required to deliver a Response Notice, or, (ii) if the Buy/Sell Property comprises all of the Qualified Properties, to purchase the Percentage Interests of the Other Partners within the ninety (90) day period described in clause (i) above, for cash in an amount equal to the amount the Other Partners would receive under Section 9.2 hereof if the Partnership assets were sold at the Offer Price and the Partnership were liquidated and dissolved (the "RESPONDING INTEREST PRICE"). In determining 67 the amount of the Responding Interest Price, it will be assumed that no reserves will be required pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof. (d) Challenge to Buy/Sell. If any General Partner (the "CHALLENGING GENERAL PARTNER") initiates a legal action with respect to any exercise of the other General Partner's rights under this Section 11.1 and such legal action is not resolved in the Challenging General Partner's favor by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Challenging General Partner shall pay all attorneys' fees and court costs arising in connection with the Challenging General Partner's legal action. (e) Buy/Sell Upon Default or Dispute. Prior to the Rights Trigger Date, any General Partner may exercise as the Offering General Partner its buy/sell right as provided in Section 11.1(a) above in the event of a material default of this Agreement by either of the Other Partners, or a material dispute between the General Partners. (f) Buy/Sell Upon Change of Control in LXP. In the event there is any change in the control or management of LXP without the consent of the Fund GP while LXP GP is the Managing General Partner, the Fund GP may exercise the buy-sell provided in this Section 11.1. For the purposes hereof, (x) a change in control shall be deemed to occur upon any Person (and its Affiliates) becoming the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of thirty-three percent (33%) or more of the outstanding Shares on a fully diluted basis (including any outstanding interests in Leperq Corporate Income Fund, L.P., Leperq Corporate Income Fund II, L.P. and Net 3 Acquisition L.P. and any other entity, that can be converted into Shares) and (y) a change in management shall be deemed to occur either upon the resignation or removal of both E. Robert Roskind and T. Wilson Eglin from the management of LXP or the replacement of a majority of the members of the Board of Trustees of LXP over a one-year period. (g) Due Diligence and Other Costs. Each General Partner shall bear its own costs, such as due diligence expenses and consultants' and attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with its exercise of, or response to, buy/sell rights. SECTION 11.2 CONVERTIBILITY. (a) Grant of Redemption Rights. The Fund Partners, acting together, will have the right (the "REDEMPTION RIGHT") to require LXP, or its designee(s), to acquire all or a portion of their Percentage Interests in the Partnership for either, at LXP's sole option, (i) a number of Shares equal to the Share Purchase Price or (ii) a cash amount equal to the Cash Purchase Price, both in accordance with the Redemption Rights Schedule attached hereto as Schedule 5 and made a part hereof. Any Shares issued pursuant to this Section 11.2 will not be registered under any federal or state securities laws but shall be subject to the terms of the 68 \ registration rights agreement attached hereto as Schedule 7 and made a part hereof to be entered into by LXP and the Fund Partners at the time of issuance of such Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the shareholders of LXP are required by law, regulation or otherwise to approve the issuance of Shares to the Fund Partners and do not approve the issuance of Shares to the Fund Partners as provided in this Agreement, which failure to approve prevents the Fund Partners from being able to receive the Share Purchase Price upon exercise of the Redemption Right, LXP shall satisfy the Fund Partners' Redemption Right by paying the Cash Purchase Price to the Fund Partners pursuant to Section 11.2(c) below. (b) Conditions to Exercise of Redemption Right. The Redemption Right shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) The Fund Partners, acting together, may exercise the Redemption Right at any time on and after the earlier to occur of (x) the Rights Trigger Date or (y) the date on which the Partnership has invested at least One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) of its equity capital through the purchase or contribution of Qualified Properties; (ii) The Fund Partners may exercise the Redemption Right only if all of the Qualified Properties have a remaining lease maturity of at least an average of five (5) years. If all of the Qualified Properties do not have a remaining lease maturity of at least an average of five (5) years, then the Fund GP, on behalf of both Fund Partners, shall have the right to exclude Qualified Properties (the "RETAINED QUALIFIED PROPERTIES") that the Fund GP shall designate from the calculation of lease maturity so as to make the remaining Qualified Properties (the "PROPOSED TENDERED QUALIFIED PROPERTIES") satisfy the minimum lease maturity standard; and (iii) (x) LXP may exclude any Proposed Tendered Qualified Property that has experienced a material adverse change in its financial condition. (y) In addition, LXP may exclude any Proposed Tendered Qualified Property leased in whole or in part to any Non-Investment Grade Tenant that has experienced a material adverse change in its financial condition (including a downgrading of its credit rating since such Proposed Tendered Qualified Property was acquired by the Partnership) (it being understood that, notwithstanding the Acquisition Parameters, if the Partnership has acquired a Proposed Tendered Qualified Property leased in whole or in part to any tenant that has an investment grade credit rating that has experienced a downgrade of its credit rating since such Proposed Tendered Qualified Property was acquired by the Partnership, such property may also be excluded) if (1) the aggregate Fair Market Values of the Proposed Tendered Qualified Properties which LXP seeks to exclude as described above in clause (x) and this clause (y) is greater than an 69 amount equal to seven and one-half percent (7 1/2%) of the Fair Market Values of all of the Proposed Tendered Qualified Properties and (2) the aggregate Fair Market Values of all of the Proposed Tendered Qualified Properties equals or exceeds Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000). (z) The Proposed Tendered Qualified Properties excluded by LXP as provided in this Section 11.2(b)(iii) shall be added to and become a part of the Retained Qualified Properties, and the Redemption Right shall apply only to the remaining Proposed Tendered Qualified Properties (the remaining Proposed Tendered Qualified Properties are collectively referred to as the "TENDERED QUALIFIED PROPERTIES"). (c) Cash Purchase Price. LXP shall have a right in its sole and absolute discretion to satisfy the Fund Partners' Redemption Right by paying the Cash Purchase Price to the Fund Partners. The Cash Purchase Price (the "CASH PURCHASE PRICE") shall be a cash price equal to the Fund Partners' aggregate Percentage Interest multiplied by the Fair Market Values of all of the Tendered Qualified Properties. (d) The Fund Partners' Retained Qualified Properties. If the Fund GP, on behalf of both Fund Partners, elects to exclude the Retained Qualified Properties in accordance with Section 11.2(b) above, the Fund GP shall identify the Retained Qualified Properties in its Exercise Notice, and the Retained Qualified Properties shall be dealt with as set forth in Paragraph 13 of Schedule 5. (e) LXP's Retained Qualified Properties. If LXP elects to exclude any of the Retained Qualified Properties in accordance with Section 11.2(b) above, LXP shall identify the Retained Qualified Properties in its Election Notice, and the Retained Qualified Properties shall be dealt with as set forth in Paragraph 13 of Schedule 5. SECTION 11.3 REMUNERATION TO PARTNERS. No Partner is entitled to remuneration for acting on behalf of the Partnership. Except as otherwise authorized in this Agreement, including but not limited to Sections 3.6 and 3.10, no Partner is entitled to remuneration for acting in the Partnership business. SECTION 11.4 EQUALITY OF SHARES. LXP covenants that: (x) the Shares issuable upon the Fund Partners' exercise of the Redemption Right (the "REDEMPTION RIGHT SHARES") shall have rights, privileges, powers and immunities identical to the Shares then outstanding, including without limitation full voting rights and any rights (whether or not then exercisable) to purchase or subscribe for other securities; (y) LXP shall not issue securities of any class entitled to vote in the election of trustees of LXP unless fair consideration is transferred to LXP in exchange therefor and the proportionate voting power of such class does not exceed the proportion of the total capital of LXP represented by such consideration; and (z) LXP shall not amend its organic documents, 70 adopt or amend any plan, or issue or suffer to remain outstanding any securities, the terms or effect of which is (or upon the occurrence of any event would become) inconsistent with the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) or would subject the Redemption Right Shares to any disability or deny the Redemption Right Shares any benefit not shared equally with all other Shares then outstanding. If LXP shall breach the covenants contained in this Section 11.4, then the Fund Partners shall have all remedies hereunder or under applicable law, including, without limitation, if the Fund Partners exercise the Redemption Right as provided Section 11.2 hereof, the Fund Partners shall have the option of requiring LXP either (x) to pay the Cash Purchase Price or (y) to pay the Share Purchase Price plus, in either case, damages in an amount equal to the total of (i) one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the difference, if any, between the value that the Shares received by the Fund Partners would have had had such dilution not occurred and the value of such Shares as diluted and (ii) any other damages suffered by the Fund Partners as the result of such breach.

This Agreement and the obligations of the Partners hereunder shall be interpreted, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its choice of law provisions.

This Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules hereto) contains the entire agreement between the parties, supercedes any prior agreements or understandings between them and may not be modified or amended in any manner other than pursuant to Section 12.12 hereof. SECTION 12.4 WAIVER. No consent or waiver, express or implied, by any Partner to or of any breach or default by any other Partner in the performance by the other Partner of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by such other Partner of the same or any other obligations of such other Partner hereunder.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the rights and remedies of the Partnership and of the Partners hereunder shall not be mutually exclusive, i.e., the exercise of one or more of the provisions hereof shall not preclude the exercise of any other provisions hereof. Each of the Partners confirms that damages at law may be an inadequate remedy for a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision hereof, the respective rights and obligations hereunder shall be enforceable by specific performance, injunction or other equitable remedy but nothing herein contained is intended to, nor shall it, limit or affect any rights or rights at law or by statute or otherwise of any party aggrieved as against the other for breach or threatened breach of any provision hereof, it being the intention by this section to make clear the agreement of the Partners that the respective rights and obligations of the Partners hereunder shall be enforceable in equity as well as at law or otherwise.

This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and delivery to each of the Partners of a fully executed original counterpart of this Agreement.

Schedule 1-1 SCHEDULE 2 ACQUISITION PARAMETERS PROPERTY TYPE REQUIRED PARAMETERS - Single tenant, net leased, commercial properties in the office, retail and industrial sectors. - Properties located in major metropolitan areas with a population of one million or greater and within well-established commercial districts. - Not a property that is high risk/high return in need of significant renovation, redevelopment or repositioning. - Purchase price of between $15 to $40 million. NOTES An emphasis will be placed on properties that are less than 10 years old. The Partnership will generally invest in well-designed buildings that present an attractive appearance, have been and are properly maintained and require minimal capital improvements in the near-term. TENANT REQUIRED PARAMETERS - Non-Investment Grade Tenants - Lease term of 5 years or greater. NOTES Given the credit profile of the tenant and in some cases shorter lease terms, each acquisition will be subject to an in-depth credit analysis of the tenant and the probability of renewal.

Leases will typically be structured to reduce cash flow volatility and to provide for all operating expenses and expense increases to be paid by the tenant. OWNERSHIP REQUIRED PARAMETERS - Fee simple title (subject to leases and typical easements and encumbrances) - No leased fee or leasehold interests.

If LXP fails to deliver the Election Notice within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, it shall be deemed to have given an Election Notice on the last day of such period specifying that LXP will redeem the Offered Interest, for the Share Purchase Price, at the Partnership's principal office, at 10 a.m. local time on the twenty (20th) day thereafter (or if such 20th day is not a Business Day, on the first Business Day following such 10th day). Notwithstanding the foregoing, LXP and the Fund Partners agree to use their best efforts to cause the closing of the acquisition of the Offered Interest hereunder to occur as quickly as reasonably possible. 4. Closing Deliveries. At the closing of the redemption of the Offered Interest, payment of the Purchase Price (and if LXP elects to pay the Share Purchase Price, the execution and delivery of the Registration Rights Agreement attached as Schedule 7 to the Agreement) shall be accompanied by proper instruments of transfer and assignment and by the delivery of (i) representations and warranties of (A) the Fund Partners that (x) the Offered Interest is free and clear of all liens, and (y) the Fund Partners are "accredited investors", as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, and (B) LXP that the acquisition of the Offered Interest and the execution, delivery and performance of the Registration Rights Agreement have been duly authorized, and (ii) to the extent that any Shares and Rights are issued to the Fund Partners, (A) an opinion of counsel for LXP, reasonably satisfactory to the Fund Partners, to the effect that LXP is a real estate investment trust duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Maryland and is taxed as a REIT under Section 856 of the Code, that such Shares and Rights have been duly authorized, are validly issued, fully-paid and nonassessable, and that the Registration Rights Agreement is a valid and legally binding obligation of LXP, and (B) a certificate or certificates evidencing the Shares and Rights to be issued and registered in the name of Sched. 5-3 the Fund Partners or their designee(s). If LXP has elected to pay the Cash Purchase Price, the Cash Purchase Price shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds, as LXP is directed in writing by the Fund Partners. 5. Term of Redemption Right. The Redemption Right shall continue in full force and effect for the term of the Partnership. 6. Representations and Covenants of LXP. LXP represents, covenants and agrees as follows: (a) Available Shares. LXP shall at all times reserve for issuance and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Shares, such number of Shares as may be necessary to enable LXP to issue Shares in full satisfaction of the Fund Partners' Redemption Right (assuming that LXP elected to pay the Share Purchase Price with respect to the Redemption Right). (b) Filings. As long as LXP shall be obligated to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act, LXP will timely file such reports in such manner as shall enable any recipient of Shares issued to the Fund Partners hereunder in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act to continue to be eligible to utilize such exemption, or any successor rule or regulation or statute thereunder, for the resale thereof. (c) SEC Reports. LXP shall furnish to the Fund GP in a timely manner all reports filed by LXP with the SEC and all other communications transmitted from time to time by LXP to its shareholders generally. (d) Fully Paid Shares. LXP shall ensure that all Shares which are issued in respect of the Purchase Price for the Offered Interest will upon issue be fully paid and non-assessable and LXP will pay all taxes (including all state or local transfer taxes but excluding all foreign, federal or state income, franchise, property, estate, inheritance, gift or similar taxes), charges and liens with respect to the issue thereof. LXP shall not, however, be required to pay any tax that may be payable by the transferee or transferor in respect of any subsequent transfer of the Shares. (e) Excess Shares Provisions. The organizational documents of LXP contain an excess share provision limiting the percentage of Shares that any Person may directly or indirectly hold or own to nine and eight-tenths percent (9.8%) on a non-diluted basis. Prior to the acquisition of the first Qualified Property by the Partnership, LXP shall obtain LXP Board approval for the Fund Partners to acquire, in the aggregate, the percentage represented by the number of Shares that will be the Share Purchase Price if LXP elects to pay the Share Purchase Price. Sched. 5-4 7. The Fund Partners' Covenants. The Fund Partners covenant and agree with LXP that the Offered Interest tendered to LXP in accordance with the exercise of the Redemption Right shall be delivered to LXP free and clear of all liens. 8. Anti-dilution Provisions. (a) No-Dilution without Adjustment. LXP shall not (x) issue or sell any Shares or other equity securities or any instrument convertible into any equity security (and shall not permit or suffer Leperq Corporate Income Fund L.P., Leperq Corporate Income Fund II L.P., Net 3 Acquisition L.P. or any other entity to issue or sell partnership or other interests convertible into Shares or other equity securities), for a consideration less than the fair value of such Shares or other equity security, as determined in each case by the LXP Board, (y) under any circumstance declare any stock dividend, stock split, stock distribution or the like or distribute to holders of its Shares evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class, or non-cash assets (including securities) or undertake any reclassification of the Shares into securities other than the Shares (except for reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Paragraph 11 of this Schedule 5 applies) unless (i) an adjustment is made pursuant to Paragraph 8(b) hereof or (ii) in case this Paragraph 8 does not provide for an adjustment, other fair and equitable arrangements are provided, to the extent necessary, to fully adjust, and to avoid any dilution in, the rights of the Fund Partners with respect to the Share Purchase Price under the Redemption Right. If any dilutive action described in this Paragraph 8 is taken any time after the Share Purchase Price has been determined, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted in accordance therewith. If any such dilutive action is taken prior to the closing of the purchase and sale of the Offered Interest, an appropriate adjustment shall be made in the number of Shares and Rights to be issued (if the Share Purchase Price is to be paid) to the Fund Partners based on the adjustment to the Conversion Factor called for by this Paragraph 8. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 8, LXP may declare (x) dividends or distributions that are paid exclusively in cash and (y) such other dividends or distributions that are made in accordance with the provisions of any preferred stock existing on the date hereof. (b) Adjustment for Dilution. The Conversion Factor shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter provided and shall be expressed as a percentage, calculated to the nearest one-thousandth of one percent (.001%): (i) Dividends and Distributions in Shares; Subdivisions and Combinations. If, after determination of the Share Purchase Price, LXP (i) declares or pays a dividend on its outstanding Shares in Shares, or makes a distribution to all holders of its outstanding Shares in Shares, (ii) subdivides its outstanding Shares, or (iii) combines its outstanding Shares into a smaller number of Shares, then the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Factor by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Shares issued and outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution, Sched. 5-5 subdivision or combination (assuming for the purposes of such calculation that such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination has occurred as of such time), and the denominator of which shall be the actual number of Shares (assuming for the purposes of such calculation that such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination has not yet occurred as of such time) issued and outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination. Any such adjustment to the Conversion Factor shall become effective immediately upon the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event. For the purposes of the calculations to be made under this Paragraph 8, the number of Shares at any time outstanding shall not include Shares held in the treasury of LXP, but shall include Shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of Shares. LXP shall not pay any dividend or make any distribution on Shares held in the treasury of LXP. (ii) Minimum Adjustments. No adjustment in the Conversion Factor shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one-thousandth of one percent (.001%) in such Conversion Factor; provided, however, that any adjustment which by reason of this subparagraph (b)(ii) is not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. (iii) Certain Discretionary Adjustments. In addition to the adjustments in Conversion Factor required above in this Paragraph 8, LXP may from time to time in its good faith, reasonable discretion make such increases in the Conversion Factor as it considers to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish any Federal income tax to any holders of the Shares resulting from any dividend or distribution of Shares or issuance of Rights or Equity Equivalents to purchase or subscribe for Shares or from any event treated as such for Federal income tax purposes. 9. Fractions of Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued in respect of the Share Purchase Price. Instead, LXP shall pay, on the closing date of the acquisition of the Offered Interest, a cash adjustment in respect of any fraction of a Share that would otherwise be issuable in respect of such Share Purchase Price. Such cash adjustment shall be in an amount equal to the same fraction multiplied by the adjusted Share Price determined in accordance with Paragraph 12 below, computed as of the Computation Date. 10. Requests for Computation of Purchase Price. The Fund GP shall be entitled to request, from time to time, that LXP compute the Purchase Price then in effect by delivering written notice to LXP requesting such computation, provided, however, that the Fund GP may not request such computation more than thrice during any calendar year. Upon its receipt of any such request, LXP shall compute the Purchase Price, and shall prepare and promptly deliver to the Advisor a certificate signed by the Sched. 5-6 chief financial officer or treasurer of LXP stating, to the best of such person's knowledge, the Purchase Price and the date as of which the same was calculated. LXP shall cooperate with the Advisor during the Advisor's review of any such computation of the Purchase Price. 11. Provisions in Case of Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets. In the event of any consolidation of LXP with, or merger of LXP into, any other Person, any merger or consolidation of another Person into LXP (other than a merger which does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding Shares of LXP), or the transfer of LXP's Percentage Interest, which transfer does not constitute a violation of the Agreement or is otherwise consented to in writing by the Fund GP (collectively, a "LXP REORGANIZATION"), the Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or which acquires such Percentage Interest and other assets of LXP, as the case may be (the "SURVIVING LXP PARTNER"), shall have the right and the duty to amend this Agreement as set forth below in this Paragraph 11. The Surviving LXP Partner and the Fund GP shall in good faith negotiate to arrive at a new method for the calculation of the Share Purchase Price for the Offered Interest after any such LXP Reorganization so as to approximate the existing method for such calculation as closely as reasonably possible. Such calculation shall take into account, among other things, the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property that was receivable upon such LXP Reorganization by a holder of the number of Shares and Rights in exchange for which a Percentage Interest in the Partnership could have been acquired by LXP immediately prior to the consummation of such LXP Reorganization. Such amendment to this Agreement shall provide for adjustments to such method of calculation which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Schedule with respect to the Conversion Factor. If the Surviving LXP Partner and the Fund GP cannot arrive at a new method for the calculation of the Share Purchase Price, an accounting firm that is among the five (5) largest accounting firms in the United States when chosen shall be selected by the Fund GP and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Surviving LXP Partner. Such accounting firm shall arrive at a method for the calculation of the Share Purchase Price that satisfies the requirements of this Paragraph 11 and such method shall replace the calculation method set forth in Paragraph 12 hereof. The Surviving LXP Partner and the Fund GP shall have the right to present to such accounting firm such information and argument as each shall desire, and such accounting firm shall receive and consider such information and argument in good faith and shall use its good faith, best efforts to comply with this Paragraph. The Surviving LXP Partner and the Fund GP shall each be bound by the calculation method at which such accounting firm arrived. The above provisions of this Paragraph 11 shall similarly apply to successive LXP Reorganizations permitted or consented to hereunder. 12. Calculation of Purchase Price. (a) Calculation of Share Purchase Price. Sched. 5-7 (i) The Share Purchase Price shall be calculated as follows: multiply the Partnership's adjusted proforma funds from operations ("AVFFO") by LXP's FFO multiple ("LFM"), both as calculated for the preceding 12-month period, and then divide the product by the adjusted LXP share price as defined in subparagraph 12(a)(ii) below ("ASP"). The result will then be multiplied by the Fund Partners' aggregate Percentage Interest in the Partnership ("FUND%") to determine the number of shares of Common Stock that will be issued to the Fund Partners. This calculation can be represented by the following formula, subject to subparagraphs 12(a)(ii) through subparagraph 12(a)(vii): AVFFO x LFM x [Fund%] ------------------- ASP (ii) For the purpose of the preceding calculation, LXP's adjusted share price ("ASP") will equal the greater of (x) the closing price per share of Common Stock on the date of such calculation, as quoted on the securities exchange on which Common Stock is then traded, (y) LXP's FFO for the preceding 12-month period multiplied by 9.5, or (z) $19.00. (iii) The calculation of the adjusted pro forma FFO for the Partnership ("AVFFO") is intended to reflect the fact that the Partnership may have a level of leverage that varies from that of LXP. As a result, it is agreed that the Partnership's actual FFO for the preceding 12-month period will be adjusted to reflect (x) the interest expense that would have been payable on the Partnership's debt if such debt were adjusted to LXP's leverage level, and (y) the increased or decreased revenues that would have been earned if either the Partnership could not have invested its excess debt in properties or if the Partnership could have invested increased debt in additional properties. Therefore, AVFFO will equal adjusted Partnership revenue ("AVR") less Partnership expenses ("VE") less adjusted Partnership interest expense ("AVI"), all as calculated for the preceding 12-month period. This calculation can be represented by the following formula: AVFFO = [AVR-VE-AVI] (iv) The calculation of adjusted Partnership interest expense ("AVI") shall be made by first calculating adjusted Partnership leverage. This calculation can be represented by the following formula ("AVL"), and then multiplying by the Partnership's average interest rate over the previous 12-month period ("VLIR"). AVL will equal actual Partnership leverage ("VL") multiplied by the ratio of LXP leverage percentage ("LL%") to Partnership leverage percentage ("VL%"). This calculation can be represented by the following formula: AVL = VL x [LL%/VL%] Sched. 5-8 To calculate the leverage percentage of both LXP and the Partnership, each entity's actual leverage will be divided by its capitalization, which will be deemed to equal its EBITDA for the preceding 12 months times 10.0. (v) The calculation of AVR will be made by adding to or subtracting from its actual revenue ("VR"), the adjustment in debt level ("VLA") multiplied by the Partnership's average revenue percentage it earns on its assets ("VR%). The VLA (adjustment in debt level) is simply actual venture leverage minus adjusted venture leverage from above (VLA = VL-AVL), while VR% equals VR divided by the original purchase price ("VPP") for the assets contributing to VR. These calculations can be represented by the following formulas: AVR = VR-[VLA x VR%] where VR%=VR/VPP (vi) For the purposes of these calculations, values related to the Partnership's assets and performance will be fairly adjusted to accommodate the exclusion of Retained Qualified Properties, as defined in Section 11.2(b)(ii) of the Agreement. (vii) For the purposes of these calculations, (x) LXP's properties shall be deemed to include properties owned directly by LXP or indirectly through partnerships and entities other than the Partnership, (y) LXP's properties shall be deemed to exclude LXP's interest in the Partnership and (z) Shares shall be deemed to be fully diluted. (b) Cash Purchase Price. The Cash Purchase Price shall be (i) the Fair Market Values of all of the Tendered Qualified Properties; multiplied by (ii) the Fund Partners' aggregate Percentage Interest. 13. Disposition of Retained Qualified Properties. If any of the Partnership's Qualified Properties are excluded pursuant to Sections 11.2(b)(ii) and (iii) of the Agreement, then as soon as is commercially reasonable, either (i) the Managing General Partner shall sell the Retained Qualified Properties and the proceeds of sale shall be distributed pursuant to Section 9.2(iv) of the Agreement provided that references in Section 9.2(iv) to Percentage Interests shall mean Percentage Interests as they existed prior to LXP's purchase of the Offered Interest), or (ii) the Partnership shall form a Delaware limited partnership on the same terms that apply to the Partnership (except there shall be no Redemption Right), and in which the Fund Partners and LXP Partners shall have the same Percentage Interests as they each have in the Partnership prior to LXP's purchase of the Offered Interest, the Retained Qualified Properties shall be contributed to the newly formed limited partnership, and the Partners shall continue to own indirectly the Retained Qualified Properties through their Percentage Interests in the newly formed limited partnership. The buy/sell provisions of Section 11.1 shall apply to Sched. 5-9 the Retained Qualified Properties, whether or not the Rights Trigger Date has occurred, and any Partner may be the Offering General Partner. Sched. 5-10 APPENDIX 1 TO SCHEDULE 5 (REDEMPTION RIGHTS) This Appendix 1 contains an illustrative calculation of the Share Purchase Price using numbers rather than variables. The calculation beginning on the next page is provided for illustration purposes only. Nothing in this Appendix 1 is intended by the Fund Partners or LXP to be an estimate or approximation of the value of the Share Purchase Price upon the Fund GP's exercise of the Redemption Right. [ILLUSTRATIVE CALCULATION BEGINS ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE.] Sched. 5-11 SCHEDULE 7 REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT [SCHEDULE BEGINS ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE.] Sched. 7-1 SCHEDULE 10.2(ii) LXP NON-QUALIFIED JURISDICTIONS Representatives of each of the following states have informed LXP that their respective states do not recognize trusts as legal entities and therefore only LXP's predecessor, Lexington Corporate Properties, Inc. is qualified to do business in such states: Alabama Georgia Illinois North Carolina Tennessee and Virginia.
