Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC
7 St. Paul Street, 1st Floor
Baltimore, MD  21202

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        Lexington Corporate Properties Trust, a statutory Maryland real estate
investment trust (the "Company"), proposes to issue and sell to Wachovia Capital
Markets, LLC (the "Underwriter") 5,300,000 common shares (the "Firm Shares") of
beneficial interest of the Company, $.0001 par value per share (the "Common
Shares") , and also proposes to issue and sell the Underwriter, at the option of
the Underwriter, up to 795,000 additional shares (the "Optional Shares") of its
Common Shares as set forth below. The Firm Shares and the Optional Shares are
herein collectively called the "Offered Shares."

        The Company and each of Lepercq Corporate Income Fund L.P., Lepercq
Corporate Income Fund II L.P. and Net 3 Acquisition L.P., for each of which the
Company serves, directly or indirectly, as sole general partner (each, a
"Partnership" and collectively, the "Partnerships"), hereby agree with the
Underwriter as follows:

1.      Representations and Warranties with Respect to Registration Under the
Act. As of the date hereof, the Company and each Partnership, jointly and
severally, represent and warrant to, and agree with, the Underwriter that:

        (a)    A registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-109393) with
respect to the Offered Shares, including a base prospectus dated October 22,
2003 (the "Base Prospectus"), was prepared by the Company in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and the
rules and regulations (the "1933 Act Rules and Regulations") of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") thereunder, was filed with the
Commission and was declared effective on October 22, 2003. No stop order
suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement has been issued, and
no proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or, to the knowledge of the
Company, threatened by the Commission. A prospectus supplement (the "Prospectus
Supplement") setting forth the final terms of the offering, sale and plan of
distribution of the Offered Shares and additional information concerning the
Company and its business has been or will be so prepared and will be filed
pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Rules and Regulations on or before the
second business day after the date hereof (or such earlier time as may be
required by the 1933 Act Rules and Regulations). Copies of such registration
statement, the Prospectus Supplement, including all documents incorporated by
reference therein that were filed with the Commission on or prior to





the date of this Agreement (including one fully executed copy of the
registration statement and of each amendment thereto) have been delivered or
made available to the Underwriter and its counsel. The registration statement,
including the Base Prospectus, as amended at the time it became effective,
including the information (if any) deemed to be part of the registration
statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A under the Act and
as it may have been subsequently amended, is referred to herein as the
"Registration Statement." The term "Prospectus" as used herein means the Base
Prospectus together with the Prospectus Supplement. Any reference herein to the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto
shall be deemed to refer to and include the Incorporated Documents, and any
reference herein to the terms "amend," "amendment" or "supplement" with respect
to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and
include the filing after the execution hereof of any Incorporated Documents. As
used herein, the term "Incorporated Documents" means the documents which at the
time are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus
or any amendment or supplement thereto filed prior to the date hereof or during
the period the Prospectus is required to be delivered in connection with the
sale of the Offered Shares by the Underwriter or any dealer as required by
paragraph (b) of Item 12 of Form S-3. For purposes of this Agreement, all
references to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or to any amendment or
supplement thereto shall be deemed to include any copy filed with the Commission
pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System (EDGAR),
and such copy shall be identical in content to any Prospectus delivered to the
Underwriter for use in connection with the offering of the Offered Shares.

        (b)    The Company and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
meet the requirements and the conditions for use of a registration statement on
Form S-3 under the Act and the 1933 Act Rules and Regulations.

        (c)    The Registration Statement, when it became effective and on each
Closing Date (as defined in Section 3) (i) contained or will contain all
information required to be set forth therein in accordance with, and complied or
will comply in all material respects with the requirements of, the Act and the
1933 Act Rules and Regulations and (ii) did not or will not include any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading. On the date of filing with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) and on each Closing Date, the Prospectus, as
amended or supplemented at any such time (i) contained or will contain all
information required to be set forth therein in accordance with, and complied or
will comply in all material respects with the requirements of, the Act and the
1933 Act Rules and Regulations and (ii) did not or will not include any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading; except that the representations and warranties set forth
in this Section 1(c) do not apply to statements in the Prospectus based upon
written information concerning the Underwriter that was furnished to the Company
by the Underwriter specifically for use in the preparation thereof, it being
understood and agreed that the only such information is that described as such
in Section 7(b) hereof.

        (d)    The Incorporated Documents when they became or become effective
under the Act or were or are filed with the Commission under the Act or the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as the case
may be, conformed or will conform in all


                                       2



material respects with the requirements of the Act, the 1933 Act Rules and
Regulations, the Exchange Act and/or the rules and regulations of the Commission
under the Exchange Act (the "Exchange Act Rules and Regulations"), as applicable
and did not or will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

        (e)    The consolidated financial statements, including the related
schedule and notes thereto, set forth or included or incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement and Prospectus fairly present the financial
condition of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates
indicated and the results of operations, changes in financial position,
shareholders' equity and cash flows for the periods therein specified, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied
throughout the periods involved. The summary and selected financial and
statistical data included or incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus present fairly the information shown therein and,
to the extent based upon or derived from the financial statements, have been
compiled on a basis consistent with the financial statements presented therein.
In addition, all financial statements required by Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X
("Rule 3-14") have been included or incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus and any such financial statements are
in conformity with the requirements of Rule 3-14. The pro forma financial
information (including the related notes and supporting schedules) included or
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus
complies as to form in all material respects to the applicable accounting
requirements of the Act and the 1933 Act Rules and Regulations and management of
the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments
provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly
attributable to the transactions and events described therein and the related
pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions. All
necessary pro forma adjustments have been properly applied to the historical
amounts in the compilation of the information and such information fairly
presents with respect to the respective entity or entities presented therein the
financial position, results of operations and other information purported to be
shown therein at the respective dates and for the respective periods specified.
No other financial statements are required to be set forth or to be incorporated
by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus under the Act or
the 1933 Act Rules and Regulations.

        (f)    The descriptions in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus
of the contracts, leases and other legal documents therein described present
fairly the information required to be shown, and there are no contracts, leases,
or other documents of a character required to be described in the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration
Statement which are not described or filed as required; attached as Schedule I
hereto is a true, correct and complete list of all of the subsidiaries of the
Company controlled directly or indirectly by the Company (each, a "Subsidiary"
and collectively, the "Subsidiaries"); there are no legal or governmental
proceedings pending or threatened to which the Company, the Partnerships or any
Subsidiary is subject that are required to be described in the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus and are not so described; there are no statutes or
regulations applicable to the Company, the Partnerships or any Subsidiary or
certificates, permits or other authorizations from governmental regulatory
officials or bodies required to be obtained or maintained by the Company, the
Partnerships or any Subsidiary of a character required to be disclosed and
properly described therein; all agreements between the Company, the Partnerships


                                       3



or any Subsidiary and third parties expressly referenced in the Prospectus are
legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, the Partnerships or the
Subsidiary, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except to the
extent enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
or other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors'
rights and by general equity principles.

        (g)    KPMG LLP, whose reports are incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement and Prospectus, are and, during the periods covered by
their reports, were independent public accountants within the meaning of the Act
and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder adopted by the Commission.

2.      Representations and Warranties of the Company and the Partnerships. As

State of Maryland, with power and authority (corporate and other) to own its

result in a material adverse change in the condition (financial or other),
earnings, investment portfolio, business affairs or prospects of the Company,
the Partnerships or the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a "Material Adverse
Effect"), the Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign entity in
good standing in all other jurisdictions in which its ownership or lease of

issued and are fully paid and nonassessable; and the equity interests of each
Subsidiary owned by the Company or a Partnership, directly or through

the sale of the Offered Shares, the Company owns the sole general partnership

        (c)    As of September 30, 2003, the Company had shareholders' equity of

any security convertible into or exchangeable for shares of beneficial interest
of the Company or equity interests in the Partnerships, and the shareholders of
the Company have no preemptive or similar rights with respect to any shares of
beneficial interest of the Company.

        (d)    Except as described in the Prospectus, there are no contracts,
agreements or understandings between the Company or the Partnership and any
person that would give rise to a valid claim against the Company or the
Underwriter for a brokerage commission, finder's fee or other like payment in
connection with the offering, issuance and sale of the Offered Shares.

        (e)    Except as described in the Prospectus, there are no contracts,

including the valid authorization, issuance, sale and delivery of the Offered
Shares, except such as may be required under state securities laws.

        (h)    The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
issuance and sale of the Offered Shares will not result in a breach or violation
of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, any
statute, rule, regulation or order of any governmental agency or body or any
court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company, the
Partnerships or the Subsidiaries or any of their properties, or any agreement or
instrument to which the Company, the Partnerships or Subsidiary is a party or by
which the Company, the Partnerships or any Subsidiary is bound or to which any

or the charter, by-laws, partnership agreement, certificate of limited

adequate permits, licenses, franchises, certificates, authorities, consents,
orders or approvals issued by appropriate governmental agencies or bodies
necessary to conduct the business now conducted by them or contemplated by the

Company,


                                       7

Company's management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial
officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure; and the Company makes and keeps books,
records, and accounts, which, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; and the
Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide

generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain accountability for
assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management's

received or retained any funds, and no funds of the Company, the Partnerships or
any of the Subsidiaries, as the case may be, have been set aside to be used for

after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Offered Shares and the
application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Prospectus, will not be

within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940
Act").

any amendments thereto (each a "Partnership Agreement" and, together, the
"Partnership Agreements"), has been duly and validly authorized, executed and
delivered by all partners of the Partnership and constitutes a valid and binding

operating agreement, as the case may be, or in the performance or observance of
any material obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any
material license, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan

respective books of the entities.

        (v)    The Company is organized in conformity with the requirements for
qualification as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code

3.      Purchase, Sale and Delivery of Offered Shares. On the basis of the
representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the
terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to sell to the
Underwriter, and the Underwriter agrees to purchase from the Company, at a
purchase price of $18.98 per share, the Firm Shares. The Underwriter represents
and warrants that (a) it is purchasing the Offered Shares in its capacity as an
underwriter and (b) such number of the Offered Shares will be allocated and
delivered directly to the accounts of investors designated by the Underwriter to
whom the Underwriter has sold such Offered Shares so that the Underwriter will
not at any time have a beneficial ownership interest in more than 9.8% of the
outstanding Common Shares of the Company.

        The Firm Shares to be purchased by the Underwriter hereunder, in
definitive form, and in such authorized denominations and registered in such
names as the Underwriter may request upon at least forty-eight hours' notice to
the Company shall be delivered by or on behalf of the Company to the
Underwriter, including, at the option of the Underwriter, through the facilities
of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") for the account of the Underwriter,
against payment by the Underwriter of the purchase price therefor in Federal
(same day) funds by wire transfer to an account at a bank acceptable to the
Company drawn to the order of the Company, at the office of Hunton & Williams
LLP, at 10:00 A.M., New York time, on October 31, 2003, or at such other time
not later than seven full business days thereafter as the Underwriter and the
Company determine, such time being herein referred to as the "First Closing
Date." The Company will, upon request of the Underwriter, cause certificates
representing the Firm Shares to be made available for checking and packaging at
least twenty-four hours prior to the First Closing Date with respect thereto at
the offices of the Company located at 355 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York
10017-6603, or at the office of DTC or its designated custodian, as the case may
be (each a "Designated Office").

        In addition, upon written notice from the Underwriter given to the
Company not more than 30 days subsequent to the date of the Prospectus (the
"Option Period"), the Underwriter may purchase all or less than all of the
Optional Shares at a purchase price per Optional Share equal to the purchase
price to be paid for the Firm Shares less the amount of any dividends or
distributions declared by the Company on the Common Shares during the Option
Period (unless the Underwriter exercises and closes the purchase of any Optional
Shares on or before October 31, 2003, in which event the purchase price per such
Optional Share shall be $18.98). The Company agrees to sell to the Underwriter
the number of Optional Shares specified in such notice, and the Underwriter
agrees to purchase such Optional Shares. Such Optional Shares shall be purchased
for the account of the Underwriter and may be purchased by the Underwriter only
for the purpose of covering over-allotments made in connection with the sale of
the Firm Shares. No Optional Shares shall be sold or delivered unless the Firm
Shares previously have been, or simultaneously are, sold and delivered. The
right to purchase the Optional Shares or any portion thereof may be exercised no
more than two times in accordance with the foregoing procedures


                                       10



and may be surrendered and terminated at any time upon notice by the Underwriter
to the Company.

        Each time for the delivery of and payment for the Optional Shares, being
herein referred to as an "Option Closing Date," which may be the First Closing
Date (the First Closing Date and each Option Closing Date, if any, being
sometimes referred to as a "Closing Date"), shall be determined by the
Underwriter but shall be not later than five full business days after written
notice of election to purchase Optional Shares is given. Any Option Shares to be
purchased by the Underwriter hereunder, in definitive form, and in such
authorized denominations and registered in such names as the Underwriter may
request upon reasonable notice to the Company shall be delivered by or on behalf
of the Company to the Underwriter, including, at the option of the Underwriter,
through the facilities of DTC for the account of the Underwriter, against
payment by or on behalf of the Underwriter of the purchase price therefor by
wire transfer of Federal (same-day) funds to the account specified to the
Underwriter by the Company upon reasonable notice. The Company will cause the
certificates representing the Option Shares to be made available for checking
and packaging at least twenty-four hours prior to such Option Closing Date at a
Designated Office.

4.      Offering by Underwriter. It is understood that the Underwriter proposes
to offer the Offered Shares for sale to the public as set forth in the
Prospectus.

5.      Conditions of the Underwriter's Obligations. The obligations of the
Underwriter to purchase the Firm Shares and the Optional Shares, as the case may
be, shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on
the part of the Company and the Partnerships contained herein as of the time of
execution hereof and each Closing Date, to the accuracy of the statements of the
Company and the Partnerships made in any certificates pursuant to the provisions
hereof, to the performance by the Company and the Partnerships of their

the Commission and the Underwriter.

        (c)    The Company shall have furnished to the Underwriter on each
Closing Date, a certificate, dated such Closing Date, signed by the Chairman of
the Board or the President and the chief financial officer or chief accounting
officer of the Company to the effect that the signers of such certificate have
carefully examined the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and this Agreement
and that (i) the representations and warranties of the Company and the
Partnerships in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of such Closing
Date or settlement date with the same effect as if made on such Closing Date,
and the Company has performed all covenants and agreements and satisfied all
conditions to be performed or satisfied by it at or prior to such Closing Date;
(ii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
has been issued and, to the best of their knowledge, no proceedings for that
purpose

furnished to the Underwriter, on the date hereof and at each Closing Date,
letters, dated respectively as of the date hereof and as of such Closing Date,

incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and
reported on by them comply as to form in all material respects with the
applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the Exchange Act and the
related rules and regulations adopted by the Commission;

               (ii) On the basis of a reading of the latest unaudited financial
information made available by the Company and its Subsidiaries, including the
unaudited interim financial information for the three and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 2003, and as at September 30, 2003, filed by the Company in
a Current Report on Form 8-K under the Exchange Act and incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus; carrying out certain
specified procedures (but not an examination in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards) which would not necessarily reveal matters of
significance with respect to the comments set forth in such letter; a reading of
the minutes of the meetings of the shareholders, trustees and executive, audit
and compensation committees of the Company and the Subsidiaries; and inquiries
of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and
accounting matters of the Company and its Subsidiaries as to transactions and
events subsequent to December 31, 2002, nothing came to their attention which
caused them to believe that:

                    (A) Any unaudited financial statements included or
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus are
not stated on a basis substantially consistent with that of the audited
consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement and Prospectus;

                    (B) With respect to the period subsequent to December 31,

Subsidiaries or changes in capital stock of the Company or decreases in the
shareholders' equity of the Company as compared with the amounts shown on the
December 31, 2002 consolidated balance sheet included or incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, or for the period
from September 30, 2003 to such specified date there were any decreases, as
compared with the corresponding period in the prior year, in revenues or income
before income taxes or in total or per share amounts of net income of the
Company and its Subsidiaries, except in all instances for changes or decreases
set forth in such letter, in which case the letter shall be accompanied by an
explanation by the Company as to the significance thereof unless said
explanation is not deemed necessary by the Underwriter; and


                                       12



                    (C) The information included or incorporated by reference in
the Registration Statement and Prospectus in response to Regulation S-K, Item

conformity with the applicable disclosure requirements of Regulation S-K; and

               (iii) They have performed certain other specified procedures as a
result of which they determined that certain information of an accounting,
financial or statistical nature (which is limited to accounting, financial or
statistical information derived from the general accounting records of the
Company and its Subsidiaries) set forth in the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus, the information included or incorporated by reference in Items 1, 2,

A hereto executed by each executive officer and trustee of the Company addressed
to the Underwriter.

        (h)    The Offered Shares shall have been approved for listing, and
admitted and authorized for trading, on the New York Stock Exchange, subject to
notice of issuance.

        (i)    The Company shall have furnished or caused to be furnished to the
Underwriter such further certificates or documents as the Underwriter shall
reasonably request.

6.      Certain Agreements of the Company.

        (a)    The Company agrees with the Underwriter that:

               (i)  If, at the time this Agreement is executed and delivered, it
is necessary for a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement to be
declared effective before the offering of the Offered Shares may commence, the
Company will endeavor to cause such post-effective amendment to become effective
as soon as possible and will advise you promptly and, if requested by you, will
confirm such advice in writing, when such post-effective amendment has become
effective. Prior to the termination of the offering of the Offered Shares, the
Company will not file any amendment of the Registration Statement or supplement
to the Prospectus or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement unless the Company
has furnished you a copy for your review prior to filing and will not file any
such proposed amendment or supplement to which you reasonably object. Subject to
the foregoing sentence, the Company will cause the Prospectus, properly
completed, and any supplement thereto to be filed with the Commission pursuant
to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed and
will provide evidence satisfactory to the Underwriter of such timely filing;

               (ii) The Company will promptly advise the Underwriter (1) when
the Final Prospectus shall have been filed (if required) with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) or when any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement shall
have been filed with the Commission, (2) when, prior to termination of the
offering of the Offered Shares, any amendment to the Registration Statement
shall have been filed or become effective, (3) of any request by the Commission
or its staff for any amendment of the Registration Statement, or any Rule 462(b)
Registration Statement, or for any supplement to the Prospectus or for any
additional information, (4) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or
threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (5) of the receipt by the
Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification
of the Offered Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or
threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company will use its best
efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the suspension of any
such qualification and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal
thereof;

               (iii) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Offered
Shares is required to be delivered under the Act, any event occurs as a result
of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances


                                       17



under which they were made, not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend
or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Act, the Exchange Act or the
respective rules thereunder, the Company promptly shall (A) notify the
Underwriter of such event, (B) prepare and file with the Commission, subject to
the second sentence of paragraph (i) of this Section 6(a), an amendment or
supplement which shall correct such statement or omission or an amendment which
shall effect such compliance and (C) supply any supplemented Prospectus to you
in such quantities as you may reasonably request;

               (iv) As soon as practicable, the Company will make generally
available to its security holders and to the Underwriter (to the extent
unavailable on open-access public filing retrieval systems) an earnings
statement or statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries which will satisfy
the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 under the Act;

               (v)  Upon your request, the Company shall furnish to the
Underwriter and counsel for the Underwriter, without charge, signed copies of
the Registration Statement (including all exhibits thereto and amendments
thereof), so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or dealer may be
required by the Act, as many copies of the Prospectus and any amendments thereof
and supplements thereto as the Underwriter may reasonably request. The Company
shall pay the expenses of printing or other production of all documents relating
to the offering of the Offered Shares;

               (vi) The Company will arrange, if necessary, for the
qualification of the Offered Shares for sale under the laws of such
jurisdictions as the Underwriter may designate, will maintain such
qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Offered
Shares and will pay any fee of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc., in connection with its review of the offering; provided that in no event
shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction
where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to
service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or
sale of the Offered Shares, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject;

               (vii) On or before completion of this offering, the Company shall
make all filings required under applicable securities laws and by the New York
Stock Exchange (including as required by the Exchange Act); and

               (viii) The Company and the Partnerships will apply the net
proceeds from the offering of the Offered Shares in the manner set forth under
"Use of Proceeds" in the Prospectus.

        (b)    For a period of 90 days after the date of the Prospectus
Supplement (the "Lock-Up Period"), the Company will not, directly or indirectly,
(1) offer, pledge, sell, or contract to sell any Common Shares, (2) sell any
option or contract to sell any Common Shares, (3) purchase any option or
contract to sell any Common Shares, (4) grant any option, right or warrant to
purchase any Common Shares, (5) enter into any swap or other agreement that
transfers, in whole or in part, the economic consequence of ownership of any
Common Shares whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery
of shares or other securities, in cash or otherwise, (6) take any of the
foregoing actions with respect to any securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for or repayable with Common Shares, (7) file with
the Commission a registration statement under the Act relating to any additional
Common Shares or


                                       18



securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for its Common
Shares, or (8) publicly disclose the intention to take any of the foregoing
actions, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, except issuances
of Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for or repayable with Common Shares (A) in connection with any
acquisitions, joint ventures or similar arrangements, so long as the recipients
of those shares agree not to sell or transfer those shares in a public market
transaction during the Lock-Up Period; (B) upon the exercise of outstanding
employee stock options, (C) and options pursuant to employee benefit plans, (D)
pursuant to non-employee director or trustee stock plans, (E) pursuant to the
Company's dividend reinvestment plan, or (F) upon conversion of any currently
outstanding convertible securities.

        (c)    The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action
designed to or which has constituted or which might reasonably be expected to
cause or result, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, in stabilization or
manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale
or resale of the Offered Shares.

        (d)    If the sale of the Offered Shares provided for herein is not
consummated because (i) any condition to the obligations of the Underwriter set
forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied other than by reason of a default by
the Underwriter with respect to its obligations hereunder, (ii) of any
termination pursuant to Section 9 hereof other than by reason of a default by
the Underwriter with respect to its obligations hereunder or (iii) of any
refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any
agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a
default by the Underwriter of its obligations hereunder, then the Company will
reimburse the Underwriter on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by
it in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Offered Shares;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to reimburse more than
$30,000 of the Underwriter's out-of-pocket expenses pursuant to this Section
6(d) if the sale of the Offered Shares provided for herein is not consummated
because of a termination of this Agreement by the Underwriter that results from
any event after the date of this Agreement but prior to delivery of and payment
for the Offered Shares that has no direct relation to the Company or its
business or properties, including, but not limited to, (i) if trading in
securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or
limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such Exchange; (ii) a
banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State
authorities; or (iii) there shall have occurred any new outbreak or escalation
of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war,
or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as
to make it, in the sole judgment of the Underwriter, impractical or inadvisable
to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Offered Shares as contemplated
by the Prospectus.

        (e)    The Company shall pay its quarterly dividend payable to
shareholders of record on October 31, 2003, on the Firm Shares and, if the
Underwriter exercises its over-allotment option to purchase any Optional Shares
so that the Option Closing Date occurs on October 31, 2003, then the Company
shall pay the dividend on those Optional Shares so purchased.


                                       19



7.      Indemnification.

        (a)    The Company and the Partnerships, jointly and severally, agree to
indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees
and agents of the Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls the
Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any
and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several (including,
without limitation to, any reasonable investigation, legal and other expenses
incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action,
suit or proceeding or any claim asserted), to which they, or any of them, may
become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state law or
regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based (i)
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto, or in any blue sky application or other
information or other documents executed by the Company filed in any state or
other jurisdiction to qualify any or all of the Offered Shares under the
securities laws thereof or arise out of or are based upon any omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) in whole or in
part upon any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section
1 hereof; or (iii) in whole or in part upon any failure of the Company to
perform any of its obligations hereunder or under law, and agrees to reimburse
each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be
in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

        (b)    The Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company
and the Partnerships and each person, if any, who controls the Company and the
Partnerships within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each
director of the Company, and each officer of the Company who signs the
Registration Statement, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the
Company to the Underwriter, but only insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities arise out of or are based upon written information relating to the
Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriter
specifically for inclusion in the Prospectus; provided, however, that the
obligation of the Underwriter to indemnify the Company (including any
controlling person, director or officer thereof) shall be limited to the net
proceeds received by the Company from the Underwriter. The Company acknowledges
that, under the heading "Underwriting" in the Prospectus, (i) the fourth
paragraph describing the manner in which the Underwriter will offer and sell the
Offered Shares and (ii) the section entitled "Price Stabilization and Short
Positions" constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf
of the Underwriter for inclusion in the Prospectus. This indemnity agreement
will be in addition to any liability that the Underwriter may otherwise have.

        (c)    Any party that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified
under this Section (or contribution under Section 8, as further provided in the
last sentence to this Section 7(c)) will, promptly after receipt of notice of
commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of
which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party or parties under this
Section, notify each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action,
suit or proceeding, enclosing a copy of all papers served. The failure so to
notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from liability under paragraph
(a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it


                                       20



did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the
forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and will
not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any
indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in
paragraph (a) or (b) above. In case any such action, suit or proceeding shall be
brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party
of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to
participate in, and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from
the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume
the defense thereof and the approval by the indemnified party of such counsel,
the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any
legal or other expenses, except as provided below and except for the reasonable
costs of investigation subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party's
election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action,
suit or proceeding, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ
separate counsel (including local counsel) in any such action, and the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party if
(i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the
indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii)
the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include
both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it
and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those
available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have
employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the
indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of
such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified
party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. No
indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified
parties, effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any
judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action, claim or proceeding
in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and
indemnity or contribution may have been sought hereunder by such indemnified
party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional
release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims arising out of
such action, claim or proceeding and does not include a statement as to or an
admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any
indemnified party. If an indemnifying party has agreed to assume the defense of
any claim against an indemnified party, the indemnified party shall provide the
indemnifying party with prior written notice of any proposed settlement and
shall not complete any settlement without the prior written consent of the
indemnifying party. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement
of any action, suit, proceeding or claim effected without its written consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

8.      Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 7(a) or 7(b)
is due in accordance with its terms but for any reason is held to be unavailable
to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 7(a) or
7(b), the Company and the Partnerships, jointly and severally, and the
Underwriter agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and
liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection
with investigating or defending same) (collectively "Losses") to which the
Company and the Partnerships and the


                                       21



Underwriter may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by the Company and the Partnerships on the one hand
and the Underwriter on the other from the offering of the Offered Shares or, if
such allocation is unavailable for any reason, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to above but also
the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the
other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such
Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits
received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds
from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and
benefits received by the Underwriter shall be deemed to be equal to the total
underwriting discount received by the Underwriter, in each case as set forth on
the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company and the
Partnerships or the Underwriter shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or
the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact related to information
supplied by the Company or the Underwriter and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Partnerships and the
Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any
other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section
8, (i) in no case shall the Underwriter be liable or responsible for any amount
in excess of the underwriting discount applicable to the Offered Shares
purchased by the Underwriter hereunder; and (ii) the Company shall be liable and
responsible for any amount in excess of such underwriting discount; provided,
however, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any
person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of
this Section 8, each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the
meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and
agent of the Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as the
Underwriter, and each person, if any, who controls the Company and the
Partnerships within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each
officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each
director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the
Company and the Partnerships, subject in each case to clauses (i) and (ii) in
the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 8.

9.      Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the
absolute discretion of the Underwriter, by notice given to the Company prior to
delivery of and payment for the Offered Shares, if at any time after the date of
this Agreement but prior to delivery of and payment for the Offered Shares (i)
trading in the Company's Common Shares shall have been suspended by the
Commission or the New York Stock Exchange or trading in securities generally on
the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum
prices shall have been established on such Exchange; (ii) a banking moratorium
shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities; or
(iii) there shall have occurred any new outbreak or escalation of hostilities,
declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other
calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make
it, in the sole judgment of the Underwriter, impractical or inadvisable to
proceed with the offering or delivery of the Offered Shares as contemplated by
the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).


                                       22



        If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to any of its provisions, the
Company shall not be under any liability to the Underwriter other than with
respect to the Company's obligation to reimburse the Underwriter's out-of-pocket
expenses to the extent provided in Section 6(d) hereof, and the Underwriter
shall not be under any liability to the Company, except that the Underwriter
shall not be relieved of liability to the Company as a result of the failure or
refusal by the Underwriter to purchase the Offered Shares agreed to be purchased
under this Agreement without some reason sufficient hereunder to justify
cancellation or termination by the Underwriter of its obligations under this
Agreement.

10.     Miscellaneous.

        (a)    The respective agreements, representations, warranties,
indemnities and other statements of the Company and the Partnerships or their
officers and of the Underwriter set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by
or on behalf of the Underwriter or the Company or any of the officers, directors
or controlling persons referred to in Sections 7 and 8 hereof, and shall survive
delivery of and payment for the Offered Shares. The provisions of Sections 7 and
8 shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

        (b)    This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers, directors,
employees, agents and controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and
no other person will have right or obligation hereunder.

        (c)    All notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and
mailed or delivered or by telephone or telegraph if subsequently confirmed in

        (d)    This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be
performed within the State of New York.

        (e)    This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each
of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto
and hereto were upon the same instrument.

        (f)    The section headings used herein are for convenience only and
shall not affect the construction hereof.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        We have  acted  as  special  Maryland  counsel  to  Lexington  Corporate

"Trust"),  in connection with a Registration  Statement on Form S-3 of the Trust
(File Number  333-109393) (the  "Registration  Statement"),  filed on October 2,
2003 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the  "Commission"),  under the
Securities  Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"),  for offering by the Trust from
time to time of up to  $400,000,000  in  aggregate  offering  price  of  certain
securities described in the Registration Statement. Pursuant to the Registration
Statement,  the Trust will issue and sell up to 6,095,000  shares of  beneficial
interest of the Trust (the  "Shares",  of which  5,300,000  shares are the "Firm
Shares" and up to an additional  795,000  shares are the "Option  Shares," which
may be issued and sold  pursuant  to an  underwriter's  over-allotment  option),
designated as Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"),  in
an underwritten  public offering  pursuant to an Underwriting  Agreement,  dated
October 28, 2003 (the "Underwriting Agreement"), by and between Wachovia Capital
Markets,  LLC (the  "Underwriter"),  on the one  hand,  and the  Trust,  Lepercq
Corporate Income Fund, L.P.,  Lepercq  Corporate Income Fund II, L.P., and Net 3
Acquisition,  L.P., on the other. This opinion is being provided at your request
in connection  with the filing of a Current  Report on Form 8-K and  supplements
our  opinion,  dated  October 1, 2003,  previously  filed as Exhibit  5.1 to the
Registration Statement.

        In our capacity as special Maryland counsel,  we have reviewed originals
or  copies,  certified  or  otherwise  identified  to our  satisfaction,  of the
following documents:

               (a) The Declaration of Trust of the Trust, as amended, corrected,
        and supplemented to date (the  "Declaration of Trust"),  as certified by
        the Department of Assessments and Taxation of the State of Maryland (the
        "MSDAT").

               (b) The  By-Laws  (the  "By-Laws")  of the Trust,  as amended and
        restated and in effect on the date hereof.

               (c)  The Underwriting Agreement.

               (d)  The Registration Statement.

                                                                October 31, 2003
                                                                          Page 2


               (e)  The  final   Prospectus   dated   October   22,   2003  (the
        "Prospectus"), which forms a part of the Registration Statement, and the
        related  final  Prospectus   Supplement  dated  October  28,  2003  (the
        "Prospectus Supplement"), relating to the Shares.

               (f) The form of share  certificate  evidencing  shares  of Common
        Stock.

               (g) The  minutes of  proceedings  of the Board of Trustees of the
        Trust or a committee  thereof relating to the organization of the Trust,
        the authorization of the Underwriting  Agreement,  and the authorization
        and the issuance of the Shares.

               (h) A short-form Good Standing Certificate for the Trust, dated a
        recent date, issued by the MSDAT.

               (i) An Officer's  Certificate (the  "Certificate")  of the Trust,
        dated the date hereof, as to certain factual matters.

               (j) Such other documents as we have  considered  necessary to the
        rendering of the opinion expressed below.

        In our examination of the aforesaid documents, we have assumed,  without
independent investigation, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity
of all  individuals  who  have  executed  any of the  aforesaid  documents,  the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals,  the conformity with
originals of all documents  submitted to us as copies (and the  authenticity  of
the originals of such copies), the absence of other agreements or understandings
among the parties that would modify the terms of the  proposed  transactions  or
the respective rights or obligations of the parties thereunder,  the accuracy of
the  representations  and warranties as to factual  matters of the Trust, as set
forth in the  Underwriting  Agreement,  and the accuracy and completeness of all
public records  reviewed by us. In making our examination of documents  executed
by parties  other than the Trust,  we have  assumed  that such  parties  had the
power, corporate,  trust,  partnership,  or other, to enter into and perform all
obligations  thereunder,  and we have also assumed the due  authorization by all
requisite  action,  corporate,  trust,  partnership,  or  other,  and the  valid
execution  and  delivery by such  parties of such  documents  and the  validity,
binding effect, and enforceability  thereof with respect to such parties.  As to
any facts materials to this opinion, we have relied solely upon the Certificate.

        Based  upon  the  foregoing,  subject  to  the  additional  assumptions,
qualifications,  and limitations  set forth below,  having regard for such legal
considerations  as we deem  relevant,  and limited in all respects to applicable
Maryland  law,  we are of the  opinion  and advise you that the Shares have been
duly  authorized by the Trust and, upon issuance and delivery to the Underwriter
against  payment  therefor  in  accordance  with the  terms of the  Underwriting
Agreement and the resolutions  authorizing  their  issuance,  the Shares will be
validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.





                                            LEXINGTON CORPORATE PROPERTIES TRUST
                                                                October 31, 2003
                                                                          Page 3



        The  opinion  set forth  herein is  subject to  additional  assumptions,
qualifications, and limitations as follows:

               (a) We have made no  investigation  of, and we express no opinion
        as to, the laws of any jurisdiction  other than the laws of the State of
        Maryland.  To the  extent  that any  documents  referred  to herein  are
        governed  by the laws of a  jurisdiction  other than  Maryland,  we have
        assumed that the laws of such  jurisdiction  are the same as the laws of
        Maryland.

               (b) This opinion  concerns only the effect of the laws (exclusive
        of the  principles  of  conflict  of laws) of the State of  Maryland  as
        currently in effect.  We assume no obligation to supplement this opinion
        if any  applicable  laws change after the date hereof or if any facts or
        circumstances  come to our  attention  after the date  hereof that might
        change this opinion.

               (c) We express no opinion as to  compliance  with the  securities
        (or "blue sky") laws or the real estate syndication laws of the State of
        Maryland.

               (d) We assume that the final share  certificates  evidencing  the
        Shares conform to the form of share certificate referred to in paragraph
        (f) of the listing of documents.

               (e) We assume  that the  issuance of the Shares by the Trust will
        not cause any person to violate any of the provisions of the Declaration
        of Trust relating to the Ownership Limit, as defined in Article NINTH of
        the Declaration of Trust.

               (f) This opinion is limited to the matters set forth herein,  and
        no other opinion should be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated.

        We hereby  consent to the filing of this opinion with the  Commission as
Exhibit 5.1 to the Current  Report on Form 8-K and to the  reference to our firm
under the heading "Legal Matters" in the Prospectus  Supplement  relating to the
Shares.  In giving  our  consent,  we do not  thereby  admit  that we are in the
category of persons whose consent is required  under Section 7 of the Act or the
rules and  regulations of the Commission  thereunder.  We further consent to the
reliance on this  opinion by Paul,  Hastings  Janofsky & Walker LLP in rendering
its  opinion  to the  Trust in  connection  with the  filing  of the  Prospectus
Supplement.

                                            Very truly yours,
